The rivers were more red than blue. People ran out of burial grounds so the corpses now were burned in furnaces. People were dying in millions every day. Lucifer didn't know what to attack since it was humans killing humans and Ben ordered him not to kill any humans. So, he set off on a search for the X-DROIDs and met Gotham, who had taken over the entire dead sea.

They fought for three days, and he lost. But she didn't feed on him since he tasted bad. He had X-DROIDs blood running through him.
"You're an X-DROID?" She asked with a smile as she pressed her arms on his chest. He lay on the beach, over the sand and she lay above him as her tail shone in the sun.

"I'm leaving you this once since I'm not human-- So, I won't kill one of my own kind. But, make sure I never see you again, okay?" She kissed his hair and washed away into the tide. Lucifer looked at the beaming sun and got up. He tore off the patch of hair which she had kissed, leaving behind blood at the tips of his plucked out hair.

The air around him grew violent and all the clouds gathered together, covering the sun. Everything turned dark, he rose into the sky and held his hand forward with his hair into his fist,

"This world shall only be bestowed by the light when there is no X-DROID or it better be as dark as the souls of the people who live here!" A blue crown appeared over his head, "I, the Prince of wind, lay this curse on all that breathes or don't." He opened his fist as his hair flew away into the sky. In three days, he came back from that misadventure and found Ben at Dexter's court. He hid behind the curtain to eavesdrop.

"I EVEN GAVE LUCIFER TO YOU!" Ben shouted.
"No, it was not enough," Dexter touched Ben's fingers and looked into his eyes. Ben moved his hands away from his collar and moved a step back "Listen. I'm not interested in you. This is harassment-- You can't force me!" Ben climbed on the windowpane behind him.

"Then, how long should I wait for you to be interested?" Dexter asked.

"Eat a dick, you gay jerk!" Ben jumped down the window. His boots emitted out fuel and he went flying towards the other end of Mechapolis. Dexter smiled as he looked at him go. "Send for Beatrice."

Ben flew in the sky as he covered himself with a mask and a blue hoodie. He flew over the dark city and landed near a small house with a huge chimney that wasn't emitting out anything. He knocked on the door and Nicole opened it.

"Attention, the curfew is now in effect. Please stay inside your own mecha districts. Anyone caught outside their district will be prosecuted by the firing squad of the city of Imperial Mechapolis. Please co-operate." A computer announced from the peak of the Intellect tower situated at the centre of the city.
"We have to teleport all the ANDROIDs to the past right now!" Ben shouted.
"Now?" Nicole said.
"There's no time to explain! Go go go!" He shouted and Nicole ran towards the computer of the time machine while Ben closed all the cells containing on ANDROID each. The teleportation started, three of them started when they suddenly heard the door break.

Ben grabbed Asselyum from the cells and closed it.
"Nicole, cover," He said and Nicole picked up a gun.

Beatrice, a police robot, walked inside that small house, breaking the door into two halves. She walked down to the basement. Her eyes glowed bright blue as she walked and picked up her gun. She had her name tattooed on her left shoulder: 'Beatrice'. She reached the basement and walked towards the cells. There was only one cell left out of the five. She smiled and began hitting it with her gun. It broke down and all the gas evaporated. She looked inside-- It was empty. She was enraged. She crushed the glass and looked up at the sky through the chimney.

Ben's pink eyes were shining brightly as he walked on the chimney stairs with Asselyum on his back. He walked up and reached the chimney top. Beatrice pressed her boots on the ground and they emitted a fuel. She flew up with a huge gush and swiftly reached him "You are caught! Surrender!" She shouted.

Suddenly, she was shot and fell down on one of the buildings. It was Nicole with a huge gun "Nicole!" Ben shouted.
"Go 'head- I'll deal with her, Ben!" He shouted and Ben rested the blonde girl near a glass cell kept on the chimney top. Beatrice got up and looked at Nicole.

"You need to fight me first," He said and she smirked "Gladly." She got up and ran towards him. Ben pressed Asselyum into the cell "Asselyum, you're our final hope. Please come back with a piece of good news."

"Fool." Beatrice jumped back and there was a huge explosion right under Nicole. She used explosives. "Nicole!" Ben shouted.

"Now then," She looked up at Ben as she launched herself towards him.
"You killed another one of my friends. Unlike you, they can't come back, you know! Once we lose them, they are gone forever." She flew towards him.

"Asselyum! Listen!" He shouted as he pressed his hands on the cell and it began shining. All the wires attached to it began shining and gave out a huge beam of light overhead. It reached till the clouds "Go back and fix everything. Find me and kill me!" He shouted as the lightning from above fell on the glass cell and soon it disappeared leaving a black mark on the floor. "You jerk!" Beatrice shouted as she reached him.

He turned towards the corner of the chimney and spread his arms as he fell "You can't stop me. You can't stop my Asselyum." He fell from that hundred feet tall chimney peak. Beatrice stood at the chimney peak "Dammit!"

"Attention, the curfew is now in effect. Please stay inside your own mecha districts. Anyone who got caught outside their district will be prosecuted by the firing squad of the city of Imperial Mechapolis. Please co-operate."

"Shut up, you bitch!" She shouted.

A civil war broke out against Dexter's rule and he sent troops to handle that and put the city on curfew. It would have been this way for the rest of Lucifer's life if Ben hadn't found out that the fifth oblivion had escaped the England attack by Lucifer and had hidden among the X-DROIDs sent to the past. This was when they needed Lucifer.

So this time, Ben went to Dexter to take Lucifer back from him. Dexter asked Lucifer if he wanted to go. To this, Lucifer replied,

"I shall not listen to mere humans such as you, Sir Dexter, I only accompanied you because Ben asked me to. Now, if he wants his majesty back, I would gladly return."

"If you work with me, you can rule the entire world." He said.
Lucifer smirked, "I have said this before but I have absolutely no interest in humans."
"Then, what do you fight for? I fight for honour and power!"
"A man only fights for what he lacks the most. Now, if you excuse me, I have my real master to report to."

Dexter looked at Ben, "Perfect, then, you can go with Ben."
Lucifer walked towards Ben, "But in return," He grabbed Ben's wrist, "You are staying here,"
"YOU FUCKI-"
"Fine, I'll stay," Ben said.
"BEN! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!" Lucifer shouted and Ben hugged him gently. He wrote something on his back.
"20XX,"

Lucifer moved away, "Go," Ben smiled. Lucifer looked at him,

'I cannot understand you. Are you a good person or a bad one? Should I hate you or blindly follow you?'

Lucifer left Ben behind. Ben just looked at him leave. Dexter hugged him from behind, "I finally won you," He whispered in his ears.
Ben smiled, "What am I? A toy?"
"What?"
Ben turned towards him and tore away his shirt, "There, this is what, right? Just get done with it and leave me alone!" He threw the shirt on the floor and pointed his finger at him, "My body can be won forcefully, but not my heart. The more you touch me, the more I'll hate so come, do it! Make me hate you more than I already do! COME AT ME!" Ben shouted.

Dexter turned back, "Take him to his room,"
"Yes sir," The butlers said and took Ben away. He was given a huge, fancy room. He looked at the empty books on the shelves. It was a dangerous pretty, everything was of fading colour, the books were plain white sheets of paper. But, that didn't make him lose hope. He grabbed a pen from the drawer and sat down at the table.

He took a deep breath and wrote. As the pen touched the white sheet of paper, the blue ink glided smoothly on the paper,
'Slaine, please burn these after you are done reading them' He ended and closed the book. He took all the books and flew out of his window. He hid them inside his secret lab under the basement and walked back up. When he came out of the house, he was surrounded by army men.

He left back to Dexter's place without resistance. But he was happy to have contributed till his very end. As a consequence of this attempt, the rest of his life was inside a dark dungeon, away from the sun or people...or food. The guards sometimes took pity on him and threw some scraps of food at him sometimes. Dexter would visit him occasionally to convince him out of that dungeon,

"If I have to choose between this dungeon and your bed, I will choose this dungeon every time.
I would rather die on my feet, than live on my knees," Ben said.
"Your pride will take you down," Dexter said.
"So will yours," Ben said.

Lucifer travelled to the past by then. As the war started in the past, Ben just sat inside the dungeon, waiting for the good news. Ben looked at the small window at the top of the cellar, which showed a glimpse of the dark sky.

"Slaine, please be fast." He prayed.
