Eriisi Bio

A demon born in the first plane of the Netherrealm. She was part of family of Netherrealm inhabitants who were still loyal to Lucifer many years after his defeat at Shinnok's hands.

The Brotherhood of Shadow discovered the family dared to follow a leader different from Lord Shinnok and ambushed them, trapping their souls in the Prison of Souls. Eriisi was the exception, since she was a young child at the time and the members still believed she could be reeducated to serve the true ruler of the Netherrealm. She was forcefully recruited in the Brotherhood of Shadow since then.

Unexpectedly for the members who took her in, time didn't make her forget her past or what they did to her family. She tried to escape many times, failing in the process. The leaders of the Brotherhood group she was in, despite considering also taking her soul to the Prison of Souls for rebellion (as was recommended), were 'compassionate' enough to 'just' reprogram her mind through magic to behave accordingly. Luckily, someone interrupted that process.

Geras was a being created by the Elder Goddess of Time, Kronika, one of her three children alongside Shinnok and Cetrion. Although he was recommended by his mother to stay neutral in the conflict of mortals, his curiosity made him visit other realms from time to time. He visited the realm ruled by his brother at the right moment.

Geras was horrified when he heard that Eriisi's free will, something the Elder Gods valued as the greatest right of mortals, was going to be taken from her. He decided to save her and, since she had nowhere else to go, he took her in. As time went on, their relationship became that of a father and his daughter, something they are willing to openly admit nowadays. They have learned much from each other in their time together.

On the one hand, Geras has taught Eriisi the wonders of peace, since he thought that would have been something neither the Brotherhood nor the Followers of Lucifer would have put enough emphasis in. He even let her visit certain parts of other realms as examples, and she was fascinated to have the chance. It gave her motivation to one day fight to change the current state of the Netherrealm so it can be like that. Once she encounters other rebellious demons like Sareena and Ashrah, she may have a better chance to achieve it than she expected.

On the other hand, Eriisi's rebellious spirit and motivation to change things has inspired Geras to abandon his neutrality. It maintaining it meant that countless people through the realms had to went to tragedies like hers while he did nothing, then he just couldn't maintain it anymore. He was going to fight for what he believed was right, and Eriisi's dreams to change her realm was part of it.

Shinnok's family is definitely going to give him more trouble in the future than he had expected.

Mirror Quan Chi/TR Quan Chi

Once an Oni who hailed from the fifth plane in the Netherrealm, one of the most hostile environments of that realm which was already known as a terrible place to begin with. For many of its inhabitants, looking up just for themselves was a requirement to live any kind of comfortable life. Quan Chi was simply one of many of those cases, except he succeeded far more than usual, enough to grow quite complacent with that lifestyle.

A genius with no rival (you can be sure that’s how he would call himself), Quan Chi studied sorcery with the objective of becoming more powerful, and he really did. He even managed to change his physical appearance, transforming himself into a more regular demon, one with a particularly humanoid form, feeling that form would be more ‘appealing’ for others (especially those with tamed souls who came from living realms after death), useful for his future schemes.

Quan Chi kept living in the Netherrealm for thousands of years, usually jumping from one plane to another, with self-benefit being his only objective in mind. He wished to find something that could give him power and influence over his realm, overthrow Lucifer as its ruler. In the world you are more familiar with, the chance to fulfill his objectives came when he learned of a Fallen Elder God who had been trapped in the Netherrealm, killing any already very slight possibility on him reflecting on his ways by giving him a taste of the power he desired… but this world, as always, had a very different path for him.

When Quan Chi learned of Shinnok’s initiative to change the Netherrealm, he was as surprised as amused. He considered it absurd. Such a powerful being, who could easily rule over the mere insects the inhabitants of the realms were to him, had just come to assist them? He couldn’t even believe it, instead thinking Shinnok actually wanted to impose his will in his own way. But in any case, he was curious enough of the possibilities such a powerful presence brought to decide and see it by himself.

When Shinnok was visited by Quan Chi, he was soon able to tell the kind of person he was. And, as he said to Quan Chi, it was fine, he had gone there expecting the consequences of  his and his fellow Elder Gods’ would be dedicated to pain and suffering, the kind of people who were created as a result of it, but the former Elder God also let it be clear that he was no fool. Quan Chi was annoyed that any possibility of tricking Shinnok was gone from the very start, but he decided to make a deal with him, nonetheless. He still wished to be associated with a powerful being of his capabilities, even if his actions would be limited by Shinnok’s compassion, which he still hoped would be less restricted than Lucifer’s wish to control every demon. Shinnok accepted, knowing someone with Quan Chi’s knowledge could be useful and having hopes for him still having at least a little capability to reflect, but let it clear to Quan Chi that he would keep an eye on him. The sorcerer decided to hold any scheme he could have for the ideal moment, which never came.

One of the things Shinnok used to do with every demon who associated with him only by self-preservation was showing them the kind of happy prosperous life people in other realms could enjoy. While it worked with many of them, that wasn’t Quan Chi’s case. He was perfectly aware of how things worked in other realms, he had studied enough for it, and still held on to his selfish lifestyle, thinking it as the only way to genuinely triumph… and yet, seeing so many other inhabitants of the Netherrealm change genuinely and following Shinnok’s ideas deep down awakened doubt in him, at least enough doubt to actually want to see how they would fare now that they had abandoned the ways he adored. He expected them to fail for being fools, and he couldn’t have been more wrong.

While the Shinnok and the Brotherhood were flawed and still failed many times, Quan Chi was able to see them succeeding in building a better society in the first four planes of the Netherrealm, and not even needing to use force, but just their collective will to make things better. That contradicted everything Quan Chi believed, and finally started to change him. It was a slow process that took many years, but it happened. At first he just developed respect for the success of Shinnok and the Brotherhood. Then, when he decided to genuinely help them sometimes out of that respect, he started earning friendships, being treated with kindness and gratitude in a way that actually made him feel fulfilled in a way gaining power hadn’t done before. And so the process continued until Quan Chi decided to actually change his way, and also genuinely work with the Brotherhood as comrades. Shinnok, who had known from the start that Quan Chi would be a long term project in terms of changing, felt very glad that it had actually happened, and became genuine friends with him from then on rather than just associates.

Now one of the most influential figures in the Brotherhood and fully loyal to it, Quan Chi will not be stopped by anyone who threatens them and the betterment of his realm, including Cetrion and her followers.

I’d compare Shang Tsung to Lucifer from the Bible :3

[sallyb-sin]

Ever since I heard that song "More Than Anything" from Hazbin Hotel Ep 5, I just keep imagining this sung by MK and Nuwa. I just think this would be a beautiful expression of their mutual eagerness to know and love each other.

I imagine it like this: MK and the gang are trying to stop the hooded keeper of the dead guys from destroying the world like they have been trying since LBD. MK wants to meet and talk to them to stop their plans, while Nuwa, who at this point has revealed who she is and why she left MK in the mortal realm (my hc is that those hooded guys killed her other creations because they assumed they would cause horrible chaos and destruction, so she deliberately got Mk, her last and most precious creation to safety by leaving him with the mortals) and is telling MK that they can't fight them or stop them.

MK won't give up, as he knows what he wants to do more than anything is to keep people safe from those who hate the world because they believe it's too chaotic, destructive, etc. He talks about the familiarity of Nuwa's story, and how he felt drawn to celestial stories and such and how he wants to win this because he wants to have the chance to get to know his Mom.

Moved by her son's dedication and love for his friends and the world, she agrees to do what she can to support him and help him win.

I think it would be beautiful to see that, especiallyif someonewants to do an animatic. Thoughts?

Here's the song in case you haven't heard it.

Heya, folks! Who's ready for a new AU?👀

Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel, founded 5 days ago by Cetrion's ✨️delusional✨️ daughter, Harumi Shirai :D

Now, this is a Scorpion!Harumi AU... AU! So I'll be using the Scorpion!Harumi Crew and their dynamics as reference to parallel the characters. With that in mind, let's meet the hotel staff!👀

THE PRINCESS, HARUMI SHIRAI:

She has a dream! She wishes to tell! It's certainly laughable, but hey kid, what the hell? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Harumi is heir to the throne of hell, but she doesn't think much of it. Her focus lately has been solely towards this one thing:

The Hazbin Hotel!✨️🌈🌸💕 Where she will guide Sinner towards a path to salvation and away from Heaven's annual Extermination!

Hopefully...

THE BODYGUARD (AND GF), LISA LIANG:

At first glance, Lisa Liang may seem rather scary, but when you get to know her... she's still pretty scary!

But underneath all that anger (obvious unresolved trauma), mean attitude and secrets beats a lovingly and devoted heart!

Devoted to Harumi and Harumi only!

Seriously, DON'T mess with Harumi!

After being terribly injured during an Extermination, Lisa was rescued by Harumi, and from that day on, Lisa made it her life mission to protect that beautiful soul at all cost, do everything in her power to assure her dreams were fulfilled!

Even the seemingly impossible ones...

THE (ONLY) PATRON, KUAI LIANG:

The Hazbin Hotel's first (and only) guest. Don't mind him. He's only staying here for the free rent!

Or is he?

Kuai may not seem much at first glance, but stick around, and the demon will certainly surprise you!

Take the information as you will...

THE BARTENDER, HANZO HASASHI:

Need to vent? Then talk to the bartender! He may look like he's not interested, but trust me, he is the shoulder to lean on!

But don't push your luck! He's not here because he wants to be. He's here because his damned boss decided to play hotel manager and needed a doll to play with (ugh! Such an insufferable guy)!

But despite his boss's antics, Harumi's incessant singing, Lisa's constant scolding, and Kuai's insistent flirting. They weren't the worst lot to be around.

He could get used to it. Yeah... he could.

THE MAID, FROST:

She kills bugs!

That's all you need to know.

Seriously.

Move on. (ಠ_ಠ)

THE MANAGER, (DARK) RAIDEN:

The damned boss.

He's been here since day... he's been here a week. But is faithful as a nun! Or something...

And he wants to help!

Why, you ask?

SHEER. ABSOLUTE. BOREDOM :D

Probably... ig... who knows? I don't!

And neither do you :)

THE QUEEN OF HELL, CETRION:

Absent awkward, mother. She's trying, but she's usually busy.

She was once an angel, you know? Helped create stars and gardens!

That cool plant you like? She probably made that one!

Nowadays, she makes plants mostly for herself...

She has a garden of her own and all! She grows her very own flowers, unlike anything heaven's limitated ass could ever think of!

I mean, could heaven ever make

✨️The Magi-tastic Backwards Lily Flower?✨️

✨️THAT SPITS F I R E??✨️

Yeah, didn't think so😌

THE FIRST (SECOND) GUEST, BI-HAN:

Pretty sure he once had a big army, maybe he was even a leader or something. But nowadays? He's just a bit silly!

He came to the hotel as a spy, sent to keep an eye on Raiden.

But the "super villain" started to grow a bit too comfortable in the hotel and too accustomed to the compliments.

He got sloppy and was caught embarrassingly fast!

But with a simple sorry spoken straight from his core, he was given a second chance! Not that it will mean much-- H*LY SHIT HE [MAJOR SPOILERS]!!

THE HEAD SERAPHIM, ASHRAH:

Look, she's not evil! Just misguided...

She wants to protect her home and her sister and is willing to do whatever it takes!

But maybe she will calm down once she meets Heaven's newest resident...

THE OTHER SERAPHIM, SAREENA:

You can call her Sareena, Reen, Sa, Ena, whatever!

She's usually very sweet and bubbly, but she's not feeling particularly bubbly at the moment. She's learned some stuff, you know?

Maybe a new friend may help her raise her spirits?

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

BONUS CHARACTERS:

THE LEADER OF CANNIBAL TOWN, DELIA:

I want to start including Delia in more on my stories, she seems like an interesting character who totally deserves more attention! Plus, I like the idea of her and Raiden bonding as (not elder) gods!

Plus imagine Delia using a big hat like Rosie's to cover her eyes!👀

THE WEAPONS' DEALER, SINDEL:

Fierce mom of two girls who would do whatever it takes to protect them.

We all know I don't need to elaborate

KUAI LIANG'S TWIN, TOMAS VRBADA:

Congratulations to Tomas for being the only one of Kuai's siblings who managed to remain his sibling on this AU, lol!

THE YET TO BE RESIDENT, CYRAX:

As Kuai's friend, I think she would fit as Cherry Bomb! It's not like Cyrax is not familiar with bombs, am I right?👀

Now, there are a couple characters that I'm still figuring out, Adam and Lute for once, have been particularly tricking!

I'm also still pondering The Vees and Lilith...

Regarding who I already choose, I know some of the choices may seem odd (Raiden, Cetrion and Bi-Han most likely) but I had my reasons for them, if you're interested in hearing them, feel free to ask, I'll gladly elaborate!

Also, please, if you have ideas to who may be the other characters, do share! I'd love to hear your thoughts!

A bit of a disclaimer before I wrap this all up!

Crimson Shadow (Bireena) is one of my main ships and is a thing in here, too! So Angel!Bi-Han will date Seraphim!Sareena. But that DOES NOT mean I ship Emily and Sir Pentious! This ship is for the AU ONLY!

That's all folks! Hope you enjoy my crazy AU!

()()()()()

Red And gold eyes slowly blinked open to a bright space one they hadn't been in for centuries. “An astral plane?” Wukong spoke and willed to life a simple meadow of sundrops with a summer blue sky. In the very center of the meadow was a tall twisting tree laden with a mixture of golden peaches and golden apples, the trunk engraved with a symbol of an eight-pointed star inside a filet crown with eight wings four in gold on the left and four in silver on the right. Sitting before the tree in pure wonder was Lucifer yet he looked different dressed in loose white robes with soft blue edges and a golden star marking the chest. His hands though still claw-like were pure white while his fangs were now flat human-ish teeth. His eyes had changed the most, having lost the yellowing color while the bright snake-like red pupils had become a brilliant sky blue with golden speckles. His wings were now a silvery white with gold tinting where the crimson would be. “Samuel Lucifer?” Wukong called out to the other. Not getting an answer Wukong slowly made his way to the angel placing his hand on the angel’s shoulder. “Samuel Lucifer… what are you seeing right now?”

Lucifer, still awestruck by the sheer serenity of such a place, was unable to find his words for some time. He had never felt such a strong connection, the uncanny surge of familiarity as he simply continued to sit before the tree left him stunned. His eyes tracing the engraved symbol with so much weight. It had been a very, very long time since he had been present in such eternal bliss which equally invoked powerful emotions of a time he had wished to repress. And was doing a pretty shitty job of that too. "What heaven could've been if it had only listened to me." Lucifer sighed, breaking his fixated gaze. Gone was the snarky overly confident tone he protruded amongst sinners, his tone was light, fluttering and gentle yet as strong as his delicate-looking wings. Such a version of the infamous Lucifer long forgotten by time and history.

Wukong nodded as he settled beside the angel before yelping as something got pinned under him. It almost like he had sat on his tail wrong but a bit higher up his back. “What-!?” Wukong cut himself off as he twisted his head and blinked at the eight beautiful golden hawk wings with teal and scarlet streaks, he had nearly sat on the lowest left wing.

"Woah," Lucifer awed, eyes growing comically wide at the other taking in his form while his own wings fluttered in excitement at the sight of Wukong's majestic wings but having a hard time really focusing on anything else that was blurred out into a mess of colors. "Careful there, Wukong!" Lucifer chuckled, gently moving the king's lower wings away from possibly another squashing. "I didn't know ya had wings too! Now we can race some time!" The fallen angel hummed.

“I don't... Normally… This might be how I end up looking once I adapt to the rules of this pantheon.” Wukong replied, reaching to his head and feeling something akin to horns curling from his temples and above that was something floating above the ‘horns’. “You should take a look at yourself, Choir Boy.” Wukong pouted and poked Lucifer in the chest.

Lucifer blinked, momentarily confused at Wukong's statement before he rapidly turned his head, glancing towards his own wings now here he finally saw the changes as they continued to flutter much to his excitement and growing anguish. "Oh gods Wukong!" Lucifer cried, several dramatic wails escaping him as he fell against his newfound companion. "I look like I'm going to church! Noooooo!! How can this be?!"

Wukong let loose a few pearls of laughter. “Are you sure this isn't how you looked before you adapted to Hell?”

"Fate really is cruel!" Lucifer continued to wail now beginning to shake Wukong. "My spice! My flavor!" He sobbed. "To be honest, I've done all I could to forget about my time before my fall. It's… probably~ not the best coping method but~ reliving it is worse!-" Lucifer shivered in all his dramatics.

‘Now i know how Mihou feels during one of my spirals.’ Wukong thought as he started to get a bit dizzy. “Getting… dizzy…” Wukong stated.

"Monkey~," Lucifer wailed before giving in and just flopping against him entirely. "You're a great stress reliever. I dunno why- Sorry though." Lucifer mumbled, into his fur, his tone earnest. "Do I make a good-looking choir boy at least?" Lucifer half joked-half grumbled.

“You're a very pretty Choir Boy Samuel Lucifer,” Wukong answered.

Though the amusing words did do greatly to warm Lucifer who cracked a smile, the underlying woes of his troubles ran deeper than just… his new change. Or more so a painfully regrettable revert. "I was the best choir boy, once." Lucifer choked out a chuckle that was horribly laced with remorse. Why did he feel the need to say this? He wasn't sure but a lot welled in his defeated stance.

Wukong simply smirked. ‘Time to put on a little show of a dream waiting in the wings.’

”Right here, right now

I put the offer out

I don't wanna chase you down

I know you see it

You run with me

And I can cut you free

Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in~”

Wukong began to sing music playing around him to get Lucifer out of this self-destructive and depressive state of mind. He snapped his fingers and the duo was inside of a workshop filled with piles of rubber ducks with a rather depressed-looking Lucifer sitting at the workstation holding his hair and looking halfway close to ripping it out and screaming.

Though originally befuddled by the sudden musical melody Lucifer took in the lyrics Wukong sung allowing the notes to reach him. He wasn't sure what he was expecting but it wasn't to be suddenly back in his workshop surrounded by his prized inventions. The fallen angel instantly brightened upon the familiarity of seeing his crafts but his smile soon faltered noticing himself. Another version. Ring still on his finger, the turmoil so visible and heart wrenchingly suffocating emitting from this raw version of himself that had Lucifer's eyes widened taking several steps back before Wukong's song seemed to call to him louder then the depressed thoughts could while simultaneously quelling his racing heart.

”So trade that typical for something colorful.

And if it's crazy, live a little crazy.

You can play it sensible.

An Angel of conventional.

Or you can risk it all and see~.”

Wukong smirked as the workshop doors burst open showing Charlie standing in the doorway along with a young monkey-like teen with dark chocolate brown fur beside her, a trio of tail wagging behind the male teen as the two young ones looked about nodded once and took an arm each of the depressed Lucifer removing him from the workshop.

Lucifer followed Wukong's gaze watching the door burst open with a small jump. He watched his baby girl and another simian reach for him. Here his daughter had reached out for him whilst all he could do was wallow in his misery. Throwing himself into invention after invention to prevent a single thought from seeping through and corrupting his mind further. He continued to gaze with longing, curious eyes following as his wings fluttered in anticipation.

”Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play.

'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride.

It'll take you to the other side.

'Cause you can do like you do

Or you can do like me.

Stay in the cage,

or you'll finally take the key.

Oh, damn, suddenly you're free to fly.

It'll take you to the other side~.”

It was beautiful. Stepping outside and watching the grand scenery, the overwhelming abundance of welcoming acceptance and serenity enveloping them all. Where there once was anguish and confusion had soothed, the horrid storms of Lucifer's mind rode gentle waves taking in all its occupants and faces with a small but growing smile. A simple wish, oh it felt like such a farway distant dream yet… Wukong showed him as if it were attainable.

Wukong grinned as the images of the two young adults bringing Lucifer outside of a beautiful palace-like manor home with a bright sky, the massive world tree in the foreground, and there in the massive garden was a copy of Wukong tweaking a simply shirt and pants with dirt covering his hands and part of his face evidently having just finished transferring an apple and peach tree hybrid from a pot to the ground while off to the side sitting on a picnic blanket was an ebony colored monkey with a scarlet face mask.

Eternal loneliness be damned. He would blame his pathetic church loving alter ego but the more he stared, the more Wukong's song ran true. Couldn't he fly? Just like them? Was the fallen angel willing to try, once more?

“Dreams are worth fighting for Samuel Lucifer but to do it the way you want to do it. You need to let go of the past and focus on the present while being aware of the future.” Wukong advised seeing the two young adults set Lucifer down next to the ebony monkey who in turn wrapped his tail around Lucifer’s waist keeping the much smaller male close to his side.

The Wukong copy rolled his eyes. ”Mac don't you dare hog him all to yourself.”

The ebony monkey simply smirked. ”simply catching up on missed bonding time Sunstone. You’ve had several months alone with him only fair i get some to.” Mac replied before giving a nip to the Lucifer copy’s neck.

”Baba! Come on, Charlie and I don't need to know or see what you three get to in bed!” The teenage monkey beside Charlie complained.

The Wukong copy flushed a bright red. ”Luier! He hasn't even accepted the courting yet!”

A hot flush seemed to cross the surprised angel's face, mirroring the expression of his copy. Yet… It was surreal to watch how at ease he was. How he laughed and smiled so wide at the pair, *at them all. The belonging, the piece of a puzzle that fit so perfectly. It was startling to see any sort of genuine positive emotion to anyone besides his baby girl and the hurtful pinning for her after so long.

Lucifer had shut off all emotions that weren't devoted towards… her… or forgetting her, or suppressing her entirely- This… this was a first for him in a very, very long time as he watched the scene. A glimpse of a potential future, hell even a current present should he will his desires to forge a bond once more.

[Let go of the past and focus on the present.]

Wukong's words seemed to echo and instinctively Lucifer reached for his ring before he faltered. He didn't need to do that anymore. Instead he tore his focus back towards the scene, a growing warmth in his smile, for his baby girl, for newfound bonds, wherever it took him now aware more than ever of a possible future under a bright golden sun with a true family.

Wukong grinned as the angelic look melted away, replaced by a more demonic form yet the wings shone between gold and crimson red, a fusion of past and present with a golden star now aborning the back of Lucifer’s coat. “Now you are truly ready to be the Big Boss and not a Hermit King.” Wukong chuckled. “Let’s make your dreams reality Light-bringer.”

"Oh that is so~ much better!" Lucifer let out a relieved sigh, taking in the familiar yet new form with a growing grin. Change… was never his strong suit yet here he would embrace it, even if it had been hardest to accept, once upon a time ago. A small part of him couldn't deny his woes of uncertainty but the assured grin of his newfound companion sparked more hope and confidence than anything else. "At least I look like I run the choir now." Lucifer snorted, feeling more at ease than he ever had. He was the ruler of a new choir now. A fearsome one at that. Where once he would reach for an object that cursed him time and time again instead he wrapped a playful arm around his cure Lucifer grinned. "It's sure as hell about time!"

“That I agree but we got a lot of cleaning up to do to those rings.” Wukong pointed out waving away the illusion to bring up a hologram of the seven rings.

"Ugh not chores." Lucifer grimaced, his stance unwilling as he gazed towards the hologram. ‘Straight to the task as always with him.’ Lucifer thought with a playful shake to his head as he sighed. "Alright Wukong! You do have a point."

“Trust me this will be worth it.” Wukong replied as he tapped on the top most ring showing the Pride Ring in its entirety with the massive World Tree in its center. “After all, we need to make foundations to grow a garden. Unfortunately, your current garden has a few too many pests that would harm the garden’s growth.”

Lucifer nodded, having no doubt Wukong would deliver on his word as he turned to face what was shown. "Oh pests is putting it way too lightly." Lucifer quipped. There was something that swam in the former angel's chest as he stared at the ring in all its glory and hellish ways that was marked by his hands. ‘My ring. My Kingdom. My Territory. My Eden. No one else's… for now…’ his eyes driffted to the most sacred thing protruded at its center. The world tree had a charm to it that made Lucifer smile. A rose amongst the thorns. An unyielding powerful force of its own. ‘A garden?’ Lucifer instantly perked at this. "Like the one from before?" He asked, excitement palpable in his tone in reference to the previous hologram.

“Hell is changing, its demonic Energy is slowly being filtered through the world tree and refining and purifying it into divine energy that’s getting pumped right into the soil. Soon this land will be rolling green mountains instead of jagged red stone.” Wukong stated with a small grin. “The Roots have already made its way from the Pride Ring to the Wrath Ring.”

"Holy~ shit!" Lucifer laughed with a mix of pure bewilderment yet astounded intrigue at such a rapid speed for developing. "Already?!" ‘Oh the sinners would have a field day- let alone whenever word arises to the heavens!’ "It's beautiful," Lucifer hummed, entirely floored at how a reality which only seemed attainable in a dream was unfolding before him. "Reminds me of Eden but way better."

“The tree is directly feeding from the ley lines and is connecting them through its roots. By the end of the week all seven rings will be tied by five Root Pillars and the Root Core.” Wukong smirked.

Lucifer's eyes widened taking in Wukong's words. "It is literally required for us to have a picnic in each ring AS SOON AS IT HAPPENS!" Lucifer points, eyes glinting in both amusement and mischief. "Royal protocol calls for it!" He fibs clearly for his own gain and enjoyment. "Charlie will fucking love it! Probably freak out first bless her."

“Even so. We have to start pulling out the weeds while we are currently here.” Wukong pointed out focusing on the Pride Ring zooming in on Pentagram City.

"Hell yeah! Sounds easy enough." Lucifer mused rubbing his hands in growing anticipation at the looming outcome once their work would be finished. "Let's purge ‘em!"

Multiple lights began to glow looking similar to basic bodies made of candle flames with only really making out the gender and a color to the flame. “The ones currently lit are ones that are condemned for preying upon children. Children do not deserve to live in a realm where these monsters roam free.” Wukong pointed out. “If we want a better Hell then we need to get rid of those that will endanger and harm the next generation.”

"Jesus christ." Lucifer grimaced, the flames were not enough to rid them of such- the fallen angel shivered- Horrific actions. It was far from shameful and insulting to have such twisted mind fucks grouped in with sinners committing tamer acts.

“Portaling them directly to the Purgatory Moon.” Wukong stated as yellow and gold rings appeared underneath each flame swallowing them as an image of the pentagram moon popped into resistance with the flames being dumped into the eternal prison.

"Yeesh! Good fucking riddance and call my savior," Lucifer hummed, very relieved at the notion the sickos would be far and free from bothering any of his citizens. "Man it's been ages since I've seen anyone sent there! Glad the ol girl is getting used," Lucifer sighed, in all fairness shutting himself away in his workshop from the rings and anything relating to hell's issues left him… disconnected from his own realm. The times sure had changed yet at the same time stalled… At times he felt like a stranger in his own home. But now, that would all soon change, he hoped.

“Luckily the World Tree will act as a secondary sorting system for the souls that get sent down here. The major thing it's that no one that harms, abuses, preys, or kills children will be allowed in the Ring and immediately be diverted to the Prison Moon. With my regression flames, we must think of Hell soon becoming split between caregivers, remade souls, and those who simply need help with trauma.” Wukong explained knowing that was the biggest thing to worry about if his flames ever slipped free or if Lucifer manifested such flames.

"That was a whole lot of words," Lucifer blinked slowly but nodded all the same, doing his best to process the new changes and details from his resident monkey that would ensue. "Man you really thought this through huh? I LOVE IT!" The fallen angel praised, pretty surprised at how quickly the celestial was adapting to it all and efficiently at that too. "You got a timer or anything on those flames? Can't ya have burning out or anything though," Lucifer frowned slightly concern etching into his features, replaying the part of Wukong’s Soul Flames in his head.

“The flames are a byproduct of being melted alive.” Wukong shrugged. “I have spells woven into my form to prevent them from coming out unless I want them to or if I am angry,” Wukong stated to prevent Lucifer from worrying too much. “Technically I'm simply implementing a system I helped rebuild after messing up the system in the Diyu,” Wukong added. “…We will need to possibly see about creating centers catering to victims of abuse, suicide, and substance coping.” Wukong noted down as he popped a notepad and pen in hand scribbling it down in Chinese.

The former angel narrowed his eyes comically but abided by Wukong's statement. "Alright monkey man, but the minute I smell burnout you're in big trouble mister!" He pointed before he peered over his shoulder at the writing. "Oooo pretty characters, ya gotta teach me sometime. I've always wanted to learn." Lucifer hummed. "I'd use the green bird but he's on the run and owes me a fuck ton of money." Lucifer soured.

Backpedaling to the real issues, a partiuclar statement from Wukong caught his attention. "Catering to victims...." Lucifer murmured to himself, brows furrowed in concentration. "By god's Wukong! This is perfect!" The former angel exclaimed, eyes widening. "Charlie! She's already started a reform program, I'm sure she would love to help expand on this and help a plethora of others! It's exactly what she's been hoping for!"

“Charlie’s idea is ideal but needs some rework. I will need to start carving some soul stones and see about getting psychology books to create therapy souls.” Wukong rambled flipping to the next page and jotting down ideas. Lucifer hummed in agreement. "She'll be all for it," on paper, the very idea of rehabilitation seemed terribly naive and unattainable. Especially in the case of psychotic sinners. No one had bothered since the first man and no one wanted to listen to the very thought either. But here was his own blood, going against all odds to prove such a thing was possible. "She'll need training though, it's all well and good hand holding and singing songs but rehabilitation is messier than what she imagines I fear." Lucifer sighs, knowing his little one's heart was in the right place, atleast.

Wukong nodded along with Lucifer’s assessment before something clicked in his mind and completely derailed his train of thought. “A green bird owes you money?” Wukong questioned with a confused blink.

"Ohohohoho you have no idea!" The fallen angel half growled. "Before my absence I'd occasionally check in on Charlie. Come to find there was growing talk around the ring of an up and coming overlord. I usually don't care for newbies but even the well known guys were afraid of him so it peaked my interest." Lucifer explained, "Languages were his thing, and he was on a streak of his own. I don't think I've ever seen a bastard with so many contracts- Yet he was quickly surpassing well known holders y'know the spiel." Lucifer waved absentmindedly. "Ya help a poor guy out that's down on his luck-- AND MIND YOU! HE CAME TO ME! AND I HELPED HIM!" Lucifer rambled as he raged. "And what does he do?! The fucking coward says adios! And vanishes!? THE NERVE!" Lucifers yells, wings bristling

“Odd… you should know where he is considering any soul that enters your domain basically creates something similar to a registry contract with you. You actually should be able to pull out an individual scroll of life and a list of their current residence, contracts, and any place they keep money.” Wukong pointed out mildly confused on how Lucifer didn't know he was able to do this.

"Yeahhhhhhh about thaaaaaat," Lucifer began. "I can't find that either." The overlord admitted, sure it was a little shameful on his part and concerningly bizarre yet he was certain he had every registry but somehow this particular feathery fiend seemed to escape him- "I know I should be able to just-" He waved his arms a mixture of frustration and whatever else he was voicing with his dramatics. "I admit, I haven't exactly been in the right state of mind for some time," Lucifer half heartedly joked. And he certainly wasn't during that particular event either. "I'm pretty fucked monkey man, everything's a mess buuut! We'll get to that." He absentmindly waved with a sigh. Jesus christ there was a lot that needed to be done, he inwardly groaned.

“Then we start at the root of the problem.” Wukong advised. “Hell is literally a dumping ground for unwanted mortal souls that don't pass a set standard and it's getting more selective every decade correct?” Wukong questioned. “Hell might not be heaven but we can still make it into a safe haven for mortals to recover from their previous life. Hell is the chance to do their lives over for the better with a healthy lifestyle and a proper support system that can cater to the individual and not to the masses. Heaven wants like-minded sheep. We might as well take the dogs and wolves Heaven denies.” Wukong replied.

"Pretty much, somehow never fails to get worse." Lucifer agreed with a grimace, to the point hell was overpopulating? He couldn't even begin to imagine what their mortal actions could've done to cost them eternal suffering. It seemed as if heaven was being very nit picky with who their residents were, and knowing what he did about them, it was disheartening, but he wasn't surprised. Who would need hell with a heaven like that? "And show 'em that everyone deserves a second chance." Lucifer murmured, eyes shining at the thought. An actual second chance! One that he never had. "And they say you can never teach an old dog new tricks," Lucifer scoffed. "Like hell you can! It'll be living proof of that soon," excitement in his tone palpable

Wukong chuckled. “It seems my soul stone is helping your own soul heal much better then before.” Wukong noted

"And doing a damn good job of it!" Lucifer grins jabbing the celestial playfully. "I don't think I've ever felt this-" He waved his arms in a frenzied motion as if to better emphasize his point somewhere. "Weird but- I like it??? It's the first in a while, that's for sure!" Again he smiles incredibly lighter than before. Was it really the stone causing so much peace within him? Settling his troubled waves? He only hoped for a prolonged extension to this… bliss.

“You are not keeping my stone for very long that I can promise you. It's simply to helping your own soul heal and to kick-start any rusty abilities you have neglected. I will be teaching you how to find this peace naturally as well as how to do a proper self-cleansing of one's soul.” Wukong explained. He had a lot to teach and likely a lot to learn from Lucifer as well.

"Aww but it feels warm," Lucifer protested half-heartedly. "Sounds like a lot of work and self care but! You got it monkey man! I'm willing to try!" The fallen angel nodded. "It sure is one hell of a kick, and in turn I'll teach ya what you most definitely shouldn't do in order to need one in the first place,"

Wukong rolled his eyes and simply poked Lucifer in the side.

"C'mon you know it'll be fun,~" Lucifer coaxed equally returning a playful jab. "I'll show ya all the ropes! Crash course with the~ one and only!" With a wave of his hand miniature illusions of the two appeared up in lights all showbiz style. From the simple act alone he felt stronger. "Spoiler alert folks there is a shit ton of crashing!"

Wukong growled playfully and simply tackled the smaller falling into a playful bout of good old monkey wrestling he used to enjoy with Mihou when they were younger.

Lucifer, momentarily caught off guard by Wukong's surprise attack let out an undignified screech which doubled into laughter finding himself caught out and tackled. "OH YOU WANNA GO MONKEY MAN??!" Letting out a playful snarl, he deftly maneuvered himself attempting to counterattack and pin Wukong down. Has he done this in eons? No and it probably showed but he was determined nonetheless.

By the end of their playful wrestling, Wukong was pinned on his back with Lucifer straddling him, a slim whip-like black tail waving behind Lucifer with a spade tip marked with a bright red heart.

The sudden rush from their playful endeavor left Lucifer shockingly ecstatic for more as he threw his head back in a triumphant laugh which only continued to bubble. ‘Oh great heavens have mercy.’ He couldn't recall a time he'd ever felt such a victorious emotion let alone willed himself to experience any contentment that wasn't his workspace or his beloved daughter. "NOW THAT!" Lucifer barked, the rapid swish of the revealed appendage capturing all his emotion. "We need to do more!"

Wukong chuckled. “Cute.” Wukong absently stated seeing how happy Lucifer looked.

"Hmph! I'll be taking this as your surrender and as a yes!" Lucifer continued to gloat though it was mostly teasing as he leaned forward to boop Wukong's nose playfully. "And I am most CERTAINLY NOT!" He scoffed, a flush seeming to dust his cheeks. "You'll learn to fear me." Said the 5 foot something man with his tail still wagging to his detriment.

“You are as scary as a cat Lucifer.” Wukong retorted even as his own cheeks reddened at the show of dominance. Wukong’s tail coiled around Lucifer’s. “I know this is far too fast but… I wish to court you when all is settled.” Wukong spoke.

Lucifer's eyes gleamed, mouth posed with whatever witty remark in defense of felines- which WERE IN FACT VERY SCARY!!!- however the fallen angel seemed to short circuit at the sudden confession. Stunned, Lucifer's eyes seemed to dilate, meeting Wukong's, searching for a sign of mockery, a trick, anything that alluded to… deceit almost. Recovery would be his hardest challenge yet. As much as he would try to let go of his past ways. Wukong wasn't her. He just wasn't- Though his mind reeled, Lucifer's own tail was pretty quick to convey with a flurry of excited movements, entwining their tails further, on his thoughts of a possible courting.

“…Think it over. You don't have to give me an answer.” Wukong stated. “After all, you still have yet to meet Mihou in person. Wouldn't be fair to him or you to bring you into the fold without his input as well.”

Lucifer seemed to relax at this, giving the celestial a once over before confirming with firm nod. Though remembering a certain scene from the hologram he could mildly guess an outcome. What? He could dream couldn't he?! "Sounds good to me," Lucifer mused with a growing grin, surprising himself with how soft his tone was. "I'll have to spruce up my inventions then- I gotta show him my best work-" Lucifer rambled, seeming delighted at the prospect of showcasing his well spent coping mechanism to another mystic monkey man

“Macaque is a Theater Kid at heart, Ringmaster.” Wukong snorted.

This only seemed to tip Lucifer over the edge as his appendage vibrated in excitement still coiled around Wukong's. "What?! Why didn't you tell me!? Monkey~ Oh we are SO~ gonna be inseparable!" Lucifer grinned. "I've gotta show him my theme park! I had it built somewhere around here, I should really see how that's been running..." The king of hell murmured more so to himself. Oh there was so much to show them! Once he eventually got his bearings and remembered where the fuck everything was.

Wukong laughed at Lucifer’s reaction before he felt something tug at his soul. “I believe we are being pulled back to the waking world,” Wukong noted as everything began to brighten and lose definition.

There was something in Wukong's hearty bubbling laugh that seemed to ring louder and echo within the fallen angel. Needless to say it was something he wanted to hear more of, a lot often. "Already? And just when I was getting comfortable in limbo," Lucifer squinted, his vision becoming a blur, the tugging growing ever so strong. "I think i'm gonna be-"

He was cut off by a blinding bright light.
