Punishing Surbodinate

Word had spread that a god had tried to steal a piece of Hell and was punished by its Guardian by been turned to a demon raving the destruction of his pantheon. The demon would have succeeded, actually killing ten of the twelve gods before Micheal came down and killed him, anahilating to the last speck of his being! The gods he had saved promised to serve him and he promised their safety from the beings of hell.

"You brother is the most attention seeking little brat I have ever seen!" Cassandra told Lucifer who just started laughing at her phrase.

"You mean our brother?" he corrected her but she did not listen to it. "What will you do now that he had just poofed your boy toy out of existence."

"Patience, brother, patience. He expects me to retaliate so soon. But we have all the time in the world. My revenge might come two years from now, four centuries from now or ten million years from now," she said with a chuckle before turning to look at the demons gathering. "What are they doing now?" She flew down to see it and saw two demons fighting. One was surprisingly more humanlike while the other was grotesque with a lizard like look.

"Aztar, you took away my quota of soul! If I do not rip your innards out I will eat my own wings!" the grotesque demon roared while trying to rip the other apart with his claws. The demon now named Aztar ducked below the incoming claw and punched the demon's stomach twice, causing it to double down. He then used demonic energy to enhance his strength even more as he kneed the demon right on its face, causing a shockwave that pushed the other demons away as the hit demon was sent flying to the horizon.

"Oi, what are you doing lazing around! Get back to work or I'll be tanning your leathers to belts!" she shouted at the demons who flew off in fright but the one named Aztar stood defiantly, staring at her.

"I issue a challenge to you self proclaimed ruler of hell. If I win, I get to take your throne and you will serve under me!" Aztar shouted, confidently. The fleeing demons stopped and turned to look at the scene.

"Oh, you think just because you were an angel before you can defeat me because of what? Race superiority? You are a demon now and will be one forever!" she said before snapping her fingers and Aztar just exploded, his bits flying everywhere as his soul was extinguished! With another snap, he was back alive and in one piece.

"This is my domain and you are all here because of your crimes!" Cassandra said, snapped her fingers and suddenly, metal hooks came out of his body before they tore him apart, slowly and painfully. In a second, he was back together once again!

"You fuckers rebelled against the most powerful being in existence!" she continued admonishing them before snapping her fingers. Aztar screamt in pain before magma as hot as a blue star started flowing out of his body, killing him again. She revived him back and this time, his eyes were filled with fear.

"I was just minding by business when you sons of bitches got me the most fucked up job in all existence!" she screamt and snapped her fingers. Aztar started screaming as his entire body started been twisted like a pretzel! His skin broke, blood spluttered out, his bones creaked and broke as his organs raptured! It was the most excruciating pain he had even felt! This time, it took two minutes to finally die. All the other demons were shaking in fear seeing this fucked up scene. She snapped her fingers and Aztar was alive once again. This time, he went to his knees, praying for forgiveness.

"Forgiveness? You are in the wrong pearly gates, demon. In here, forgiveness is spat and shitted on. You are here because God has given up on you. He has forsaken you, stopped loving you. You do what you do because this is your punishment. Sure, you might like it but you should never forget that this is as much your prison as it is the damned souls. If you ever try to challenge me ever again I will simply turn your ass into a damned and leave you for the wolves!" she cautioned them all then flew off.

Aztar stared at her departing figure in fear. Sure, he was stronger than most demon here but she was a Primordial Demon, a demon that was born like that while they were turned for falling out of grace! She was the most powerful being in hell, besides Lucifer but he was currently in a cage!

"Father has not given up on me, not yet!" he roared, making her stop and look at him. "I refuse to believe Father has stopped loving me!"

"Look at yourself, no one can love you now. You did that on yourself," she said, appearing before him.

"TAKE THAT BACK!" Aztar roared and tried to punch her only for her to punch his fist in her fore finger and thumb. He felt like he had tried to punch an immovable mountain. Try all he could but he could not pull it back.

"I hate repeating myself," Cassandra said ominously before letting go of his fist. Aztar felt a creeping pain coming from the hand before it became a hundred fold more painful! He screamt and writhed on the ground as his immortality was stripped away slowly by slowly, turned into a black coloured soul from the hand he threw his fist with all the way to the rest of his body! The other demons were watching this with fear, while the one he had just beaten had a cold smirk on his face. The excruciating transformation was done in two hours, two hours of agony. Aztar looked at his soul form hands in terror.

"Since you have no sense of just what kind of sinner you are, take a good look! The darkest of soul, belonging to the inner most pits of hell where no relief is given. That is the kind of corrupt soul you are and don't you dare forget it!" she said and turned to leave. Suddenly, she felt the gaze she has always come to fear fall upon her, making her stop.

'Give him back his demon form!' the will ordered her, making her frown. She turned to look at Aztar, then nodded. The gaze faded but she knew He was watching.

'Why is He interested in the demon?' she asked herself. She then used clairvoyance on him. 'So that's why!'

"You know what, I am making you a demon. But, your power is stripped. You will be grunt that can never gather power from contracts or souls till you die!" she said, giving him back his demon form but he felt so weak he could not believe it. She then flew back to Lucifer's cage, a smile on her face.

"You are chipper for one who got scolded," he chuckled at her expression.

"I just learnt something He might not want anyone to know, perhaps He has less control over his creations than I thought. That means, this dream of yours, having free will, how much are you willing to pay to have it?" she asked.

"All of it!" Lucifer said with no hesitation.

"That will come to haunt you but for now, just finish your punishment and then you can start Lording over these miscreants!" she said cryptically then flew off.

"What did you see?" Lucifer asked quietly but he knew she could hear him.

"That's for you to find out," she answered, softly.
