Part 3: Burst Bubble

Belle was awake, but laying in bed. She had stayed the night in her room, but of course she had levitated B-man from the cot onto her bed once more. She had not felt so content in her life in a long time, B-man was breathing softly still asleep- {M’Lady?} -one of the maids was outside the door waiting- {Do you wish anything? the tailor you summoned will be here later on on the afternoon.}

{Thank you, inform me when they are here and I don't need anything right now.}-the Maid replied instantly-{yes M'lady...also.. your mother is present...}-Belle closed her eyes and calmed herself- {Tell her to meet me in my library}-The maid began to reply- {she umm...} -before she even finished, Devidra was already in the bedroom ....looking down at B-man from his side of the bed, scrutinizing him -
 
-Devidra didn't look amused ... at all, Beelzebub just sat up in bed looking at her mother-‘he wrinkles his nose in his sleep' -Devidra spoke telepathically to her daughter, Beelzebub responded in turn-‘I am aware mother ... what are you doing here?' -she asked, now beyond angry and just plain annoyed-'I just came to see you' -she paused and looked to B-man- 'Hmm, curious ... why do you like him, honestly?' -she asked genuinely-
 
B-man shifted turning to Belles side of the bed, his face a bit "close" to her chest, Beelzebub glanced down to him, noticing his close proximity to her chest but looked to her mother- 'As cliché as it sounds mother, he's different, I've been around monsters and demons too long to find someone who is ... nice, honestly just .... nice' -she looked away from her mother and down to B-Man then brushed a lock of hair from her face-

B-man shifted once more to lay on his back again, his eyelids flickered slightly before opening. Groaning he slowly tried to sit up- uh.. man this cot..how'd it get so..-he reached up then felt a portion of Belles naked thigh, then her hip with his right hand-.....soft...-he jerked back instantly - M’Lord! I Uhh How'd I ? -Beelzebub didn’t seem perturbed by the contact- We didn't mean to wake you.-Devidra was still staring at B-man from the side of the bed- Good evening ... -Devidra paused- .... morning actually
 
B-man instantly moved back pressing up to Belle, more terrified of Devidra to realize he was up agains't Belles naked body- Uh...m.. morning? -he gulped while Devidra smiled at him in a scarily calm way- ... No need to "rise" on my account -her eyes shifted to the “tent” under the bedsheet, with a spare blanket in hand, B-man was up and out of bed and in the bathroom in a heart beat-
Devidra watched him and chuckled- ... Adorable.-Beelzebub’s brow twitched as she watched B-man run off - Must you antagonize him? ... He's the first male I actually like.-Devidra turned to look at her daughter, really look at her the way a mother looks at her daughter when they have a crush- ... you really do like him, don't you?-Belle just nodded- ... I do, he's sweet
 
B-man stepped out, clean shaven and dressed already in his usual white t-shirt and blue jeans- I Uh better go for the jog! yeah uhhh I'll leave you two to it. Pardon me Lady Devidra -he made a B-line for the door, only to suddenly appeared in front of them both and immobile-Actually Mister Devlin ... I'd like to speak with you too, both of you -Devidra exhaled, turned and walked towards the near by chair-
 
B-man tried to move as he was levitated over to the couch, Belle could see the veins in his arms and neck appear for a moment as he trie to move- this is some way to "speak" to someone..-he found his motor functions had returned as Devidra sat down opposite them, while Beelzebub swung her legs out of bed then got up to move over to the couch- What do you want mother? ...Honestly-Devidra exhaled and looked between B-Man and Belle- I've been thinking about "this" a lot -she said hinting between the two of them- ... and I accept you two are willing to try "this" ...
 
He couldn't help but feel Belles tail wrap around his waist slightly in a protective manner as Devidra spoke, it was comforting in a way that such a powerful being was there to "protect" him. but it still was a strange experience since all his life he had protected those he had cared for and sadly had nothing to show for it, just death and heart ache- ...Well umm Lady Devidra...I.. really feel that....until we know who is really out to get me...-at those words he felt Belles "grip" get that much tighter- ..but umm.. did Heaven find anything in the mean time?..
 
-Devidra accepted the change of topic- Nothing more than we already know sadly, the "fallen" if they are the "fallen" took ancient books and texts and now they're gone, even the bodies have gone .... the "fallen" are hard to kill and even harder to keep dead ... I imagine the one you fought Mr Devlin may have resurrected itself.-B-man paled-...but...was it just a coincidence that I was attacked down here?...or might there have been something more?..

No one knows ... they may have been after you or Beelzebub, neither or both.-Devidra’s comment made him glance down in thought, he tried to think of what would the Fallen ...or..who had sent the Fallen would want from him, Devidra read B-Man's mind and answered- The Fallen were the first demons, they were the angels that allied themselves with Lucifer against me, against “man”, he thought my creation was ... a dishonour
 
-B-man stared at her with such intent, yet there was also pain in his eyes- ..so it him...this Lucifer...-she turned away, a small tear fell from her eyes-... most likely, they followed no one but Lucifer, he himself was given the appearance of a man upon his creation, my first son.-B-man leaned back slightly, he couldn't help but feel Belles embrace and smile slightly as he placed a hand gently on her hand that was on his shoulder-...so where do you think I fit into this?... could it be Oggstrosse?...then again... you already know..and can't tell us.
 
I can't tell you ... I'm sorry, as for you I ... I don't know -Devidra seemed to come to a decision - I can clarify however it isn't Jack Oggstrosse ... at least it might not be, Jack is one of the few beings I can't keep track of -B-man sighed knowing it was as good as it was going to get, then another thought came to him- Maybe it could be connected...maybe he wants revenge on Oggstrosse ?-he blinked then looked to Belle- wait a minute, the Fights....could that have been taken as well?.
 
What do you mean? -B-man looked into her eyes-...I beat Jack twice, so..could my techniques be used as a "weapon" ? to get to Jack-Belle pondered- It depends, some abilities we demons can't learn due to their nature, such as anything Angelic and even some "mortal" created ones.
 
-B-man questioned aloud-But Lucifer is a mix isn't he? I mean I got lucky with the Tengoku-Ken and the Kayo-Ken..-Devidra answered- Lucifer is confusing ... but yes in effect he's a mix of angel and demon-Belle tried to explain- Your Kayo-Ken is a .... how do I put it nicely ?a rip off?..-Devidra spoke matter of factly- A poor copy of a powerful demon enhancer, created by a Demon War Lord called Kaio ...he existed before Jack's time, during the rule of the Greeks
 
-B-man slumped back into Belle-….great…-Devidra waved her right hand-He's dead now don't worry about it but -she leaned forward- be-warned, Lucifer is powerful, always had been ... the only being I've seen who is more powerful is the Arch Demon..
 
So how did Jack beat him?..-she narrowed her eyes as B-man continued- did he get cocky?-Devidra seemed to stare into his soul as she spoke-tell me Brandon, can you imagine a creature made of pure rage, a monster ... a colossus, Lucifer may have been cocky, but never so it was his undoing. Jack had this .... rage, inside of him and it took form, he changed into a ... a nightmare, it was savage ... primeval 
 
-B-man felt defeat settle in - so in short, I got lucky..-Devidra continued - Jack became a monster of pure unbridled rage and power .... and decimated the "playing field"-Devidra looked to him- Jack has only assumed that form twice ... he can't summon it by will.-B-man sighed softly- so if I Pissed him off that much more I could have caused the end of the world....-he slumped forward putting his head in his hands-
 
Devidra waved her hand at the situation- do not despair, I doubt you could summon the amount of rage Jack needs to change. As I said, he's only changed twice. -B-man thought on the situation once more, one thing came to his mind-A regeneration type spell...-Belle pondered aloud- For what? -then it came to B-Man- Lucifer...I mean it makes sense doesn't it?
 
-Belle frowned -He’s ancient, who knows what happened to him after his defeat, but you're right, a spell to allow him to regain his full strength immediately ... it's most likely-B-man let off a sigh-He wants revenge-he leaned back once more-...so..I guess back to the more pressing matter.. of.. "us" right?-Devidra smiled clasping her hands together- Yes! ... I -she exhaled as if about to release a very large weight- ... I accept this ...-she looked to B-Man- I accept you.
 
B-man asked hesitantly- but?… -he looked right into Devidra's eyes-...there is always a "but"...-Her eyes bore into the mortal- Don’t get killed, or else you'll upset my daughter.-He froze as he watched Devidra vanish, then glanced over at Belle slowly not sure of what to say but he need to say something-...you umm…okay? -Belle let off a sigh-I feel emotionally exhausted ...you?

he nodded slightly-..yeah....-he chuckled a bit-So much that... -He glanced at her naked form-you being naked I didn’t phase me…-he chuckled a bit more ,she chuckled as well- Don't mind my nudity, if things work out between us, you'll see much more of it.-He chuckled before going oddly silent as he leaned over slowly, resting his head gently on her chest. His right hand gently taking hold of her left-...tempting the "mortal" again eh?...
 
No -she smirked down at him- just stating a fact.-he glanced her body up and down-..well...it's a very nice way to go about it, just wish it was at a better time...-he glanced back at to the spot where Devidra had been sitting-... imposing women...-Belle chuckled- ... she can be
 
-Belle could hear the despair set into his voice- then again... who knows...if we....if I live through this....-Belle reassured him- You will ... I'll make sure of it.-He shook his head-It’s not the physical stuff...it's...the mental ......and I was serious about....not getting involved ...at all... -he looked into her eyes once more-...after I heard what your past" relationships”...but I really was thinking of you....if those bastards got away with using Oggstrosse’s own energy...-she patted him gently- Don't worry ...

Meanwhile in heaven, Sky growled slightly at the “fallen” had taken from heavens vast library-..it was after B's fights with Jack...damn.... Lucifer is trying to get an edge or something?-Gabriel focused on the fledgling angel- I think I know why he's after B-man.-Sky blinked- oh? is Bait not enough?...

-Gabriel narrowed his eyes- No, He wants to know all of your friend's abilities so he can use them for himself, and what better way than a Fallen, it'd take his face, his soul, everything, an awful way to "die"-Sky growled deeply then hissed-…Bassssstard, if I was only stronger...-Gabriel snorted- I remember thinking the same thing when my and the others fought Jack, I questioned how someone so young ... comparatively could become so strong, I’m the second oldest being on the planet ...not including Devidra
 
Sky nodded slowly-....I bet B feels pretty rotten right now over this. -Gabriel commented- we've got more important things to worry about Sky - Sky then glanced over for a moment noticing Devidra had arrived but she had a smile on her face- what are you smiling about? -he looked at Devidra who had a far away look in her eyes, she glanced then to Sky-oh, nothing, nothing ... -she chuckled-
 
Gabriel paused then continued-hmm ... -he looked to Sky- we need to increase our patrols ... you should refresh yourself with some Angelic abilities.-Sky nodded- yeah...I wish Kyokugenryu techniques worked better on those things..-Gabriel raised his brow- the what?-Sky blinked- Oh.. it's umm the Martial art B and I studied.-Gabriel exhaled softly- {kids} -he said in Angelic-
 
sky surprised Gabriel for a second- I'm just as old as B-man, and I heard that…-Gabriel huffed and tried to cover it up-I'm several "billion" years old,  everyone is a "kid" to me unless they prove me otherwise. -Sky grinned in his usual feline way..meanwhile Back in Hell B-man was watching the tailor work on Belles dimensions- mhmm.. yes I believe I can do it.. now...what colour would M'lord like this to be? along with the design?
 
-Belle looked at B-Man then at tailor- red, red would suffice ... and perhaps something the mortals consider “modern" -the tailor nodded and took some notes..then slipped into the demonic language- {I shall prepare a sample for you ...like in that mortal magazine you showed me..}-Belle nodded- {Excellent, I expect your best efforts}-the tailor bowed- {you honour me M'lord...just a few moments please} -the tailor turned and got to work with hell fire, creating the design-wow... thats... some way to work
 
He's actually using hellfire to manipulate a "cotton" like fabric which is grown in hell, it's fire proof and durable.- Belle explained while the Tailor stepped back after finishing the initial design but continued to speak as more of the fabric was manipulated- {a little bit here...some tweaks there....and....remove the shoulder portion....and there..} -The demon moved so that only Belle would see the design as ordered...since she wanted to surprise B-Man at least with the dress-

-Belle looked it over while nodding her head in approval- {Perfection ... I expected no less,} -she grinned, the Tailor bowed-{Yes M'lord... I shall have this ready with time to spare before the celebration..} -the hell flames died out before the tailor started to pack her things, but she {are you sure you wish to have a set of clothing like the... your mortal companion when the time comes Lord?}-Belle nodded- {yes I do ... I can't be just in my armour all the time, things are different, times are changing ... I've been stuck in the past for too long}

{you shall receive only the finest M'lord...} -with a burst of Hell flames the tailor left, while B-man squinted at the flash of light then began to blush as Belle nestled next to him in the nude still, she couldn’t help but smile- Am I making you uncomfortable?-He let out a long breath- Uhhh well. I umm.. I mean this is your bedroom and.. if you... choose to be that way, it isn't for me to decide weather or not if you -he stopped as Belle put a finger to his lips-
 
-she chuckled, leant down and kissed his cheek gently-So you're the one! -B-man blinked as he heard another woman's voice, B-man instantly shot to attention thinking it was Devidra for a moment-Beth, what are you doing here? -she turned to look at the “young” goat demonessThought I'd just pop by, see your boy-toy. -she smirked, while B-mans eyes darted from Belle to Beth then back to the door.- ”boy toy?"
 
HE'S NOT MY... -Beth clamped her hand around Belle's mouth-I'm kidding dearie.-B-man glanced back at the two for a moment-... uhh.... are you two?..like....umm... I mean it isn't for me to say but you act like.. a couple..-both suddenly looked rather awkward, and timid ... Belle scratched her arm a little, Beth didn't make eye contact-
 
We were ...-Beth nodded slowly-… a long time ago-Belle commented once more- A very long time ago-B-man slowly nodded- right…. well I'll let you two umm chit chat...-Beth held her hand up to stop B-man before he could bail- No actually I came here to see you too-He blinked at Beth- me? but why? or..is this...one of those.. "girl" things?..
 
Beth smirked- well, you're my honey's crush, how could I not want to see you?-B-man blinked once more-..cause.. I'm Mortal? -She shook her head and corrected him-no, because you're her crush-B-man glanced the goat demoness up and down, seeing she wasn’t in the nude like Belle-oh….and....you like walking around naked as well when at home?
 
-She chuckled- actually no, I'm into fashion-B-man nodded - Oh.. one of those designers...-She paused- I meant in the mortal world -B-man blinked once more then tried to come up with something-oh..well umm... how err.. fashionable.-once more he felt like he was being scrutinized as Beth walked around him, sizing him up so to say and looking at his cloths-
 
-Beth chuckled- I love him Belle, he's clueless.-B-man questioned- Whose “Belle” ? -Beelzebub nodded slowly- that's me, my nickname-she blushed, while B-man glanced between the two demonesses- Oh.. well.. it's a very nice Nickname...-she blushed- ... It's silly really-Beth clapped her hands together-  Nonsense, it's cute!-B-man pondered-Bell….Belle…it is nice.-Belle snorted- hmph, if you say so ... -she blushed as B-man apologized -…er.. sorry M'lord...
 
Beth let out of laugh- oh ignore her, she's easy to tease if you know how to do it right.-B-man glanced down as he held his hands together-…I'd rather not tease her.. since... I can't... really stand up to her in any form..-she snorted- oh don't worry, you'll be just fine-then she leaned in closer and whispered- her ass is real sensitive -B-man blinked - I beg you pardon? 
 
-Beth chuckled- she's putty in your hands if you tease her tight black a~-B-man stopped her as a deep red blush appeared on his cheeks-Sex..isn't my thing sorry.-she blew air into his ear-not yet ... -she blew air into his ear which caused B-man to glance over at Beth-...now who is trying to tease who?..-Belle shook her head- Don't listen to her, she'd fuck anything that moves-B-man shifted slowly away from Beth, his posture becoming defensive-
 
Leave him be Beth, he's not used to you -B-man looked down-…I’m not really used to any of this to be honest.........and since you are both speaking english ....It makes me wonder if both of you are playing around..-Beth chuckled- Well English is Beelzebub's original language, mine is demonic.-Beth left soon afterwords at Belle’s request, leaving Beelzebub and B-Man to their thoughts and feelings, both about each other and the threat of "Lucifer the Fallen One", Belle had doubled the guards, bringing in even her most loyal and powerful of demonic warriors; The Elites. 
 
Large and powerful demons marched throughout the mansion and around its grounds at an accelerated rate. B-Man could feel a small glimpse of their power, while not at Beelzebub's or Jack's level, these demons were definitely heavy hitters. Belle was currently in a part of her library which could have been designated an office, she looked over scrolls and withered old books and even the Holy Bible, trying to find every scrap of information about Lucifer and his "Fallen"-
 
I'm sorry you had to get pulled into this Brandon, -she said and looked up from her reading to gaze at him sat upon the Library's couch, B-man was looking up at the ceiling, then glanced over to her for a moment- hmm?.. oh...yeah...aren't I the "lucky" one...if it wasn't for you...-pausing for a moment he wondered out loud-...would I even be involved..so those.. "elites" of yours...they are like Gabriel and his brothers?..
 
Not really, they're just the best of my warriors, Gabriel and his brothers were well "designed" to be the most powerful-she continued to read while talking to him- my warriors are given rewards for becoming powerful, gives them a better incentive ... it wasn't until my rule centuries ago that this kingdom became ... what you could call “ civilized “ it was very brutal and chaotic before hand.
 
Oh, well.. you're all at a level I could never reach -he couldn't help but laugh bit, she looked at him seriously- You're still the most powerful mortal I've ever met. And I've been around a long time.-he wasn't aware of Belle catching his thoughts as time passed, the first fight with Wolf, then twice with Oggstrosse, almost being killed by Belle over the misunderstanding- well, at a great cost..I'm not as ...err... "tough" as you -he swung his legs over the side of the couch to look over at her eye to eye-

Not many are to be quite frank,-she replied simply, a saddened expression upon her face, slowly B-man walked over to her side and looked down..all bit it with a bit of a stretch since she was much larger-...so..nothing at all huh?-she leaned back in her seat and exhaled loudly with frustration- All I find are simply stories or something more akin to history books... there's nothing concrete here ... Demons didn't really do literature during Lucifer and Jack's time.

Slowly he moved up behind her, then gently placed his hands along the upper portion of her back and wing joints. Softly he began to massage without putting on too much pressure since he wasn't sure how hard her scales were, he tried to come up with a compliment- Even in your armour you look well... stunning... in a good way... well.. at least in my case now-she chuckled- You know what I like about you? -she smiled at him with a honest, caring smile-
 
He blinked pausing for a moment as she turned to look at him- that I am just a dork?....and not tongue tide when I talk to a woman? well... when they are dressed that is. -she chuckled- No, I like your honesty. well I like those other things too if I'm being honest. But I like honesty, too many ass kissers have stuck around me.-B-man nodded understanding - oh….the ones who-he tried to remember the phrase- what was the word they used, "brown noser " I believe is what I heard?
 
..well.. joking aside.. honest as always been my policy, I do try...-she nodded- It's a good policy, be good or bad, but at the very least, be honest.-Belle chuckled then looked to the old book laid out before her, she sighed with defeat and placed a book mark on the page and regretfully closed it- I can't stand the sight of another book, I need to do something else before I go insane-he thought for a moment-= we've been here for a few days.. maybe...a trip to Dixies?
 
-she exhaled then nodded her head- Anything at this point-he nodded slowly-..how'd you like that Milkshake? since we didn't have much time to enjoy it...-She paused then began to get up- It was nice, colder than my usual tastes ... as you can image there's rarely anything cold in Hell, and it's rather hard to keep things cold.-he nodded slowly and moved back slightly to let her get up and stretch then the two vanished in a roar of hell fire-
 
Most people who were in Dixie’s Diner had stopped eating as B-man was sitting with Belle in a booth off to one side of the diner, as they waited for their order to come, while Belle glanced around, having shrunk herself to her most comfortable, she'd offered to change into her "mortal" shape, but B-man had suggested otherwise-
 
I don't like everyone staring at me -she whispered, B-man leaned in placing his hand gently hers for a moment-.well.. you are the most beautiful in the room.-she blushed, though it was hard to see from her scales- ... you're only saying that-B-man chuckled-Well…you’re the first one whose ever .."put up" with me this long, we’ve“known" each other for a few months now..

Belle nodded- I know what you mean, you're the longest "actual" relationship I've had too,so..what happened with er.. "Beth" was it?...-Beelzebub hesitated for a moment then came to her decision- Beth well -she sighed- .... alright, you have me there. Beth and I were lovers, but we never did anything "romantic" together, we didn't have the time nor the choice,we were more friends who fucked.
 
oh...-he nodded slowly-.. well shame that didn't work out for you, I guess that was before you became..err...-Beelzebub sighed- somethings were never meant to be. -she shrugged- we're both happy with our lives now-she glanced at B-man finishing his sentence- Satan? No after actually-B-man nodded slowly-oh…work getting in the way huh?..
 
Pretty much, and well, we were both so young ... we liked each other and we liked sex, and we both liked sex with each other -she shrugged- it was what it was.-B-man nodded slowly as he wrapped his head around the situation- ah.. so no real .. "connection"-she looked to the table- I'm not sure anymore ... she was my closest friend though.-Gently he patted the back of her hand- and still is...
 
-She looked up at him then smiled-yes she is -the smile turned to a mischievous grin-… not jealous are you? -she asked coyly, giving him a sly smirk -he chuckled a bit then shook his head-.. I just want the people I'm with to be happy, come to think of it... -he leaned back slightly looking at the table, gently he lett go of Belles hand to reflect-...I've put everyone else's well being in front of my own.-she smiled- You have, I've noticed that -Then she frowned- stop it
 
He paused watching her reaction-...force of habit really...-she chuckled- ... you need to become a little more selfish-he couldn’t help but chuckle- well…easier said than done -he let the formality slip in- M’Lord -she didn't seem to notice nor care- ... please, perhaps for me?-he nodded slowly-..if we live through this.. i'll try
 
We will, it'll take more than the first evil to take me down. -she smirked with confidence, though B-man knew otherwise,he chuckled a bit- okay then..if you say so..-he glanced over as Dixie came over-
 
Hello you two -she bowed a little to Belle-What can I get you? -B-man looked at Dixie, then made up his mind- Ah what the heck, a chocolate shake for me.. and for my -He glanced to Beelzebub and half asked half stated- “Girlfriend?” -he asked a bit worried how it would sound- a large strawberry shake like last time..-Belle smiled affectionately at the term “girlfriend" while Dixie blinked then grinned- Ooohh, things are getting serious if we're using the "g" word
 
This will be all over hell in a few weeks won't it? -B-man asked but was taken a back slightly as Beelzebub’s voice grew deeper as she spoke- Not if I have anything to say about it-Dixie blinked startled herself- I’m not saying anything.-he glanced over as Dixie walked off to get them their shakes...he felt Belles tail tip wrap round part of his leg and ankle- Well…I was referring to the threat against us….-Beelzebub didn’t take notice as she continued with the matter at hand- You're mine, and I intend to keep this private for a little while longer.
 
B-man blinked as he listened to her tone-..you made it sound like I am a "possession" for a minute there.-she smiled gently at him- ... Sorry, force of habit, I'd like us to come out together when things are less tense-B-man nodded slowly then looked down at the table top looking forlorn-  ...I hope so...-she reached forward and placed her hand on top of his- I -she hesitated I-love you.

B-man looked into the demon lords eyes, clearly he was stunned at her profession of her love-...that...that's a strong word to use...and a dangerous one as well...-he felt her hand tighten on his that much more-But it doesn't make it any less true, -she gazed deeply and strongly into his eyes, He wasn't sure what to feel at this point just that his heart seemed to flutter, as he watched her pop the straw into her maw he could only wonder what sort of fantasies she was day dreaming-

She sucked gently on her drink and looked to their grasped hands, he built up the courage then to ask- so umm.. you.. up for dinner some place?.. or here I suppose?.. -he chuckled a bit and rubbed the back of his neck with his free hand-.. a Romantic Date with my girlfriend... in a 50's style diner......-he leaned in a bit whispering-...one of the history books I suppose.-she chuckled- and said Girlfriend being a centuries old demon and a devil lord
 
well.. that uhh.. -he chuckled a bit then was about to say something when Dixie came over- oh uhh.. hey Dixie umm... I ... guess a couple of menus...unless.. M'lord is ready to order- As Dixie passed the couple a menu each he even began to blush here and there as he looked into her Lava red eyes which seemed to sparkle at the angle he was looking-...you know...when you smile it just transforms your face...-he chuckled a bit leaning back on the stool slightly- hard to believe I was ever terrified...then again..that goes to your strength again.
 
-she chuckled- I do pride myself on my strength, and being fierce. -she looked away, somewhat self consciously- I'm glad you're not scared of me anymore-B-man nodded slowly- well…I’m sure there was a time when your found humans revolting, and I was no exception I bet..-she chuckled- Not so much revolting, pitiful and useless more like ... um, no offence
 
Shrugging he leaned over the table slightly, resting his elbows on the edge- Well, I've been called that before...so none taken-she nodded and began to look through the menu, but B-man didn’t look just yet himself as he asked-So, have you been ...putting me in your bed when I go to sleep?.. or was that just one of your mothers..."ways" of making people uncomfortable ?-she chuckled- That has been me, I won't take a "no" from anyone ... including you

He blinked a few times-..bit…soon isn't it to be sleeping with one another? isn't it?…-she nodded- Agreed, but I've been sleeping in my chair, so it's fine.-he narrowed his eyes at her- mhmm...sooooo how do you explain your scale imprints on my leg?...wait...don't tell me you can stretch your tail out as well?
 
No no, though I possibly may have fallen asleep on you, once…-She glanced to the side for a moment before looking back to the menu as B-man leaned in to question her-"once" ?...well. I umm... -he glanced away slightly, blushing a bit-It’s.. alright if we sleep together I suppose... I mean.. if we fight..or...well if you fight, you need to be well rested after all…-then blinked once more as his stool levitated over to Beelzebub’s side-
 
She chuckled and put her arm around him- Do not worry, I won't over step my boundaries-The air was almost knocked completely from him at her sudden action-….w..well I am.. sure you won't... I just.. hope your tail doesn't have a mind of it's own -he chuckled a bit, then glanced over slightly noticing dixie-..she's trying not to laugh.-Belle turned to her and saw the demoness covering her face-
 
Laugh all you want, at least I have a boyfriend-he blinked at her announcing it to the diners occupants - And...proud of it.-Belles tail wagged behind her- Very -B-man gulped slightly as he was pulled close to Belles side- ...w..well then.. umm...-she looked back to her menu- uh.. s..so umm.. -he glanced at the menu himself now.. hiding his face slightly from his light blush as he tried to make up his mind- I guess I'll.. have something from the all day breakfast for dinner...
 
I'm going to have an actual lunch ... if that's alright?-he chuckled- I am sure you can order what ever you want, if Dixie is up to it..-Dixie chimed in- Just what's on the menu, M'lord.-Belle nodded and ordered a steak, while B-man ordered just a regular bacon, scrambled eggs, and toast breakfast-..

The hours melted away as they sat and chatted about one another at Dixie's, it was closing time almost before they realized it and were just getting ready to leave for Hell- Thanks Dixie, you really outdid yourself this time.-Dixie laughed- I always do -she smiled- ... you two come back whenever you want, your lady friend tips big.-he blinked then glanced at the leather bag on the table- is that?.... wow. -he was about to say something as Dixie handed him the dessert they were going to have in hell, with in a eye blink he found himself in Belles library -Some way to travel M'lord..
 
The only way to travel, plus it beats walking. -she smirked at him, he nodded and placed the take out bag onto the table and began to unpack- heh.. romantic cheesecake dessert by the fire eh?-she nodded- it sounds delightful-B-man turned around to fix things up, but didn't notice Belle remove her uniform to get more comfortable. He was just about to turn around but stopped in mid motion as he felt Belles arms wrap around him, he paused for a long moment as he held the trays in his hands-...You...really enjoyed yourself this afternoon...didn't you?..
 
I did, thank you so much for it. -she snuggled against him a little tighter, only then did he notice she was completely naked, slowly placing the trays down he reached up and gently put his hands onto her arms-Well you needed to get out of here for a while I thought.-she nodded - I need to try and relax ... truly relax, but I can't ... I'm too stressed-he nodded softly then turned slowly in her arms, feeling her soft scales along the exposed parts of his arms-...come on, lets have a seat and indulge a bit hm?

She nodded- Are you alright with me like this? -she tilted her head-well... what? walking around in the nude? -he shrugged some- what ever makes you comfortable, and I want you to be comfortable more than anything-she smiled and held him- Thank you, I know most mortals aren't comfortable with nudity-he nodded slowly- well.. you are a.. -he glanced to the side slightly thinking of the right kind of words to use- A... "Unique" creature...
 
-she chuckled- ... you're such a sweet heart-he chuckled some then took hold of the trays once more as the two of them took a seat on the couch, he moved up close to her feeling one of her wings caress his back as they cuddled up for the evening-I like this, this is soothing ... -she said dreamily, while he gently took her hand in his- ..well.. at least if we have this time together...you are a beautiful woman..
 
She turned her face away- You know how to sweet talk a girl don't you? -he chuckled some- well, you are the first .."girl"..that I actually had a chance to "sweet talk”, Mind you this is where it’s actually working-she blinked-Oh? -She then plucked up her own courage- I had thought ... -she went quiet, knowing Silver was a touchy subject, he popped in a bit of his cheese cake and began to chew, he nodded slowly before swallowing-.. go ahead ask...
 
She nodded then asked- well, what about your previous mate?-he nodded slowly then put the plate down on the near by table- We weren’t “mates”…we knew each other less than six months...and...being young and stupid...I proposed to her...she..turned it down because of some family issue....then she was killed in the old Neko village...a demon possessed her niece and well...needless to say...I shoved that part out of my life...heh. two weeks later well.. you know the rest...the fight in hell
 
She nodded in understanding- I'm sorry for your loss, my mother could likely organize a reunion if you asked. -B-man shook his head as he purse his lips together-.No…not to sound bitter but…she doesn't deserve it...-he glanced down at his hands-In retrospect...most of the women I have met...well..before you came.-he chuckled a bit and leaned back into her wing membrane a bit more-...I'm sort of hopeless...something always comes up..
 
-she smiled to him- ... I'm sorry for what's happened to you.-He glanced at her -..comes down to the "their happiness before my own" bit. -he sighed going into a brief history of his “accomplishments” It had been strange since he had met her, things had been happening, like saving an entire race of ancient Avian, stopped a gang from starting a war-…then…you walked back into my life a month later.-she shrugged- ... nevertheless, I'm glad you're with me.-shifting he turned his body to her- well..even if it doesn't work out between us...I hope we can at least still stay friends 
 
-she wrapped her tail around him- Count on it ... with benefits obviously, -she smirked while he blinked- well you do…I mean.. being the ruler of Hell and all...-he chuckled a bit- plus a discount at Dixies diner-she let out a hardy laugh- Oh very funny, very bloody funny.

A few more days had passed as B-man and Belle went on several more dates, their understanding of each other grew that much more along with their caring. Until one day Beelzebubs generals finally gave her the information she had been dreading. It was in Belles Library that the ice was broken,her general continued with his report but spoke in the demonic language - {we believe that might be the point in which Lucifer has his "base" }
 
-Belle stood at the foot of the table and looked over the information, The generals were all giving reports, the information seemed right- {Good, very good indeed.} -her eyes swept over the pieces of written information and various reports- .... {Do we have confirmation?} -one General nodded- {at the far reach of hell, our scouts managed to get this image..} -it showed “ Lucifer " ..but the image was a bit blurry yet it was fallen one all the same-{have the eldest demons confirmed this is Lucifer?}


The General nodded then raised a brow slightly- {Of course if Lady Devidra could confirm it...but I doubt she would correct?}-Beelzebub groaned- {when has my mother ever been that helpful?, I need to know my enemy's face ... or at least one of them} -as the meeting and planning were finalized B-man could only watch as Belle moved to a mirror as her maids helped her adjust her armoured uniform-
 
Heading out huh?..-Belle nodded as she checked herself once once more- ... Shortly yes, we may have confirmation on where Lucifer is ... we have to move fast and quietly and keep the element of surprise.-B-man nodded- well all the luck I guess -he smiled a bit, still he was worried, she smiled in return trying to reassure him- Do not worry, I will ensure I leave you protected ...
 
He chuckled- okay then...protected from whom? your mother so she doesn't hit on me?..or you for when you get back?...-she chuckled- ... A good hunter never leaves the den unprotected.-he nodded-..well.. good hunting then..-then he  glanced outside as he could see the group preparing-old fashioned "Horse" back eh?..well..you know what I mean..-Beelzebub blinked then looked at the creatures-Not quite "horses" per say Brandon, The proper name for those beats are... Elquinrax ... a "horse-like" demon ... wild, there are no "anthro" species of them

B-man nodded slowly, then looked as her General in armour spoke- {We are ready M'Lord}-Beelzebub nodded-{As am I} .... {It is time to show the old breed how we do it in the here and now} -she growled as her eyes flashed red, while B-man watched on as Belle made her way to the door then stop for a moment to look back at him-Go on.. I'll be fine ... -she nodded to some of her guards- You won't be alone, don't worry ...
 
He nodded slowly -..good luck out there. - then with a smile he said Playfully--.”M'Lord”-she looked to him- Thank you -she smiled and spoke in the same fashion- “Mortal”-B-man watched the group ride off into the distance, Several hours had passed...B-man waited in Belles bedroom having just eaten and was just helping the maid clean up-..glad I could help -The Maid nodded as she picked up the tray of empty dining plates-Thank you...Mortal....-one of the guards looked through the open door and B-Man and the maid then resumed his position- {I am not keen on this waiting}

{ Neither am I...} -replied the maid as she stepped out- {this one's ...stench isn't something I get used to...even if M'lord has taken a fancy to him.. How long do you think it will last?} -She asked as she picked up the guards meals as well-{One cannot fathom ... though truly, this infatuation has beaten the previous record}-The other guard, glanced at them- {That's true, though whose to know how long this will last, it's strange and unnatural, next she'll be inviting Werewolves and Vampires through the gates.}
 
-The other guard chuckled- {Or even worse, Succubae}-The Maid giggled then walked off with the empty trays, about an hour later B-man glanced outside sensing something, he had been in a way expecting to see Beelzebub any moment....but what he saw next not only confused him...but locked his body up in fear....standing in the courtyard with a female demon was Lucifer, while several of Lucifer's guards were around him in a circle-
 
So the Dragon takes the bait like a hungry animal ... -he said then scanned the building with his eyes- ... leaving only lowly guards and her mortal. -he seemed to take in the building as an actual thing- ... structure and civility in Hell ... it's quite ironic, how things have fallen without me.-The female demon “Lilith” spoke next- ...much as changed since we were last here..-Lucifer narrowed his eyes in thought, recalling his defeat against the Traitor- ... it has been far too long... at least my palace still stands ... in some shape or form.
 
So, are you really going to "test" this mortal?- Lilith questioned- I still don't believe he might pose a threat to you...-Lucifer spoke matter of factly- he doesn’t, plain and simple …-Lilith nodded then smirked- Well I hope you will at least let me have some "fun" with him after you extract his knowledge..
 
-Lucifer stepped towards the front doors calmly- Perhaps Lilith I will let you test him.it should be an interesting sight to see. Though, do not kill him, I want his mind and soul intact.-B-man slowly moved back from the window then blinked as he heard the Flames....then bumping into someone, he whirled around to see the two demons in the bedroom- So here he is - B-man spun around on the defencive as Lucifer looked the mortal up and down- .... I imagined the one who'd best the Traitor and bed the Dragon to be .... taller
 
B-man stiffened slightly as he watched the old fallen angel look at him-......"Lucifer" I presume?.. and...Lady?..-he looked to Lilith - I am Lilith the first "demon"-he nodded with his head slightly as a festure of respect-...well...what can I do for you two?.. -he slid back a bit as he watched the guards slowly move out from behind their masters, All the while Lucifer continued speaking- Simple, submit your mind and soul to me and I'll be on my way
 
B-man blinked-..submit my mind and soul?...-his eyes darted to the door, where were the guards? he noticed then the demonic blood flowing from under the door gap, his body tensed-...sorry but... I am going to have to respectfully refuse...-Lilith spoke- It wasn't an option mortal...-Two of the guard moved up to B-man in an instant and grabbed his arms and shoulders, he grunted then strained against their grip- Why is it so important that it be me?
 
Surely there are others who have more...-with one swift motion before Lucifer could grab him by the neck, B-man back flipped out of the guards grip and smashed through the window into the courtyard, he shot off into the nearby maze as quickly as he could, Lucifer then ordered- ... kill everyone in the building, Lilith go after him.-Lilith leapt out of the window and charged after B-Man-
 
Meanwhile...at the location where Lucifers hide outs should be, they could see Lucifer down below...or at least what was Lucifer...as Belles guards attacked...their demonic steel blades..met thin air, Belle then could feel B-mans energy beginning to rise as clear as day, her eyes widened as she then ordered with a roar- {WE'VE BEEN TRICKED! BACK TO THE CITY!}
 
-Lilith could sense B-Man as she chased him through the maze, the stench of human, LIVE human was so easy to follow in this world,,B-man winced as he pressed himself into the bushes trying to keep his energy low..but when he heard the screams of the staff inside the mansion...he wondered how much longer he could hold out, all the quiet, he couldn't hear any footsteps around him, nor any other noise but the screams coming from the mansion, it was almost like he was alone-

B-man heard one more scream from the mansion....then cursed at himself as he stepped out...just behind Lilith- ITCH GENKI SAAATS!!! -the impact to her back sent her out of control into the nearby lava pool, B-man front flipped over the bushes then ran off to the mansion just as he spotted Lucifer he stopped, slowly Lucifers guards took their positions-...No need no need ... you evaded Lilith ... or did you? -he smirked- ... I have my own investment in you Devlin so I may as well test you myself.
 
Lucifer stepped forward and removed his robe standing there nude, then cracked his neck then his fingers- ... Think you can take an old man, boy?-B-mans eyes darted from Lucifer..to his guard then back to Lucifer-...that depends?...this is on the field of "skill"?..or pure strength?.. because I think we both know that answer....-deep down he wasn't sure at all if he could do it...maybe just a signal to get Belle back-
 
-seconds passed as B-man made up his mind, Lucifer could see the sudden glow in B-mans pupils,Lucifer watched and waited patiently- You "power up" all you need boy, I'll be here waiting. B-man grit his teeth together as white energy starts to rise off his body, once more he used a combination of the Fist of the Heavens and Kayo-Ken all in one. His muscles strained against his clothing as he brought his arms into a cross block pattern, his energy flowed around his body almost like a shield before he yelled releasing the bright white light, those weaker guards suddenly screamed out in horrific fashion as their eyes burned. Lucifer himself could feel as if his temples were being stabbed with ice picks-
 
 -Lucifer glanced to his side with nonchalance and looked forward to B-man once more-CHOU! KYOKUGENRYU OUGI! -B-man put every ounce of energy he had in himself as he attacked Lucifer, far away Belle could B-mans energy spike and jump just like it had with Jacks two month prior, almost sixty times, All Lucifer did was lift his hand and gently stuck out his right index finger, pressing against B-Man's forehead and stopping him dead in his tracks-

Lucifer nodded with some amusement to his expression, but otherwise seemed uncaring, he opened out his hands and encompassed the entirety of B-Man's face in his grasp and tossed him through a wall of the mansion, B-mans body vanished under the rubble of the wall, along with furniture and books from the library -Oh dear, I was hoping for a good read after all this -the ground shuddered slightly as a few more items hit the floor and ground around mansion, B-mans had vanished right after or at least he had been hoping, meanwhile Lucifer moved closer and stepped inside the library, he looked at the tomes, the books, the scriptures. A lot had been written in the time he'd been gone.-
 
MUUAAAAHHHH!!!! -from under Lucifer B-mans fist came up from under the books, his fist collided with Lucifers jaw slamming it shut. he was thrust up from the ceiling to the top floor, Lucifer slammed through the top floor then landed carefully and rolled his jaw feeling the joints crack a little- ... Humph ... child's play, -he rolled his shoulders- Boy, I'm nearly as old as the planet itself, do you think others haven't used this trick before? -Lucifer suddenly appeared behind B-Man and forced his right thumb deep into the back of B-Man's shoulder then forced his index and middle finger into the front, then with a simple twist broke the limb out of its joint-
 
-keeping his fingers imbedded into B-man he leaned closer and whispered- You can hide your scent, you can hide your strength, but you cannot hide "life" in Hell, you cannot hide "mortal" from a true demon or angel-B-man grunted as he tried not to scream in pain, instead he forced himself into his aura then shot off in another direction to get some distance once more he was hit, angling his landed he hit shoulder first relocating it. Unfortunately for him he came out of his attack, looking up he could see Lucifer casually strolling towards him on the court yard. His mind raced wondering what he could do...-
 
There's no point to this, -Lucifer shrugged- if I wanted it, you'd be dead already, your body, mind and soul; mine. I have only ever been bested in combat once ... the traitor at his most enraged.-he stepped right up to B-man- ... but not bad for a mortal.-B-man stepped back and cursed at himself - damnit Beelzebub...where the hell are you?....-he whispered to himself...if he was going to die now, he might as well make it big-...KAYO-KEN!! -B-man lashed out he just need one good attack to connect, he had just been a bit off with his uppercut finally but managed to get a punch at right at a point in Lucifers chest before being blown backwards by Lucifers awesome power- 
 
OUF!! -once more he skid across the ground a few yards before coming to a stop, slowly B-man rose up as Lucifer started to walk towards him, he winced wondering what he would suffer next then watched as Lucifers right arm veins began to pulsate, then expand up to the point where his shoulder and neck met. The muscles strained then deformed before the skin broke spraying Lucifer's face and eyes in his own blood blinding the old demon, Lucifer grimaced then roared in pain as the black inkish liquid covered his eyes- 
 
B-man lashed out with what little energy the had left, the multi punch, multi kick, followed up with a barrage of kicks and punches, the Rising uppercut caused Lucifers body to fly upwards and slam into the wall by the hole the old demon made with the mortals body, as Lucifer's vision cleared but he felt his energy drain as he could see B-man in front of him at point blank range - DENJIN! HADOUKEN!-Lucifer could feel his stomach muscles being burned as the purple blue energy only for that to go away as B-man was hit from behind by a partially chard Lilith before he could finish off his attack, As Lilith looked back at her husband she could see the veins in his body pulsating as blood was running down Lucifers body where the muscle fibres had burst like blisters-
 
-Lucifer grimaced with a mixture of pain and anger- ... So ... you do have an ace up your sleeve. -The old one had not seen it, the only thing that could have done this sort of damage would have been Oggstrosse’s Negative energy, Lilith raised a hairless brow- I could sense it...you outclassed him..-Lucifer stood up straight and wiped the gore from his face- this is what you get from watered down demons
 
Lilith moved to Lucifers side just as the old demons legs almost buckled, she shifted slightly to look at the form of B-man who was out cold- Come ...we must be going now I am sure the dragon will be here shortly...-the two and B-mans unconscious form vanished in hell flame a minute before Belle arrived-
