Hello, this is the anon about the Lucifer starting the Apocalypse or end of times. I dont really mind it being angsty.
So a bit of background: Nightbringer sends MC to the not distant future back in their own timeline with a message "be patient, a messenger will come.. you choose to save the brothers or the human race."
MC starts noticing the 4 horsemen, and thunderstorms, firey skies, etc. A knock on the door and stands Simeon with a message about The Devil is coming, and only MC can Stop Lucifer or Michael will have to stop them, meaning the world will perish, and God has turned his back on humanity.
MC choice could be to save both
The story is more like avengers type style or anything you like. The characrers if you want to be included could be Lucifer, Satan, Simeon. Gabriel (if you want), Mammon, or Solomon.
Hi there, anon!
Oof okay this is by far the longest request I've ever written. But there was so much happening, it needed to be longer in order for things to get resolved in a way that made sense to me.
I tried to incorporate everything that was in your ask - so Nightbringer is involved, Simeon, and all the other characters listed. I didn't describe Michael or Gabriel so people can imagine them however they like.
I also thought it made the most sense for this to happen in the human world, so the setting is actually Serenity Manor. In case anybody hasn't gotten to season 3 of the OG, it's just a big house basically and the brothers give it to MC when they leave the human world.
I've only ever seen the first Avengers movie and that was a long time ago, so I don't think this turned out to be in that style at all. Hopefully it still turned out okay?
Anyway, I hope this is close to what you were looking for.
Thanks for the request!
GN!MC has to stop the apocalypse as begun by Lucifer
Warnings: general apocalyptic stuff (such as the four horsemen), fighting (with magic), angst, drama, spoilers for season 4 of the OG story, Nightbringer time travel shenanigans
You woke up to find yourself in Serenity Manor, back in the human world. That was odd. Didn't you go to bed in Cocytus Hall last night? What were you doing here in the human world? How did you get here?
You sat up in bed, looking around the room, trying to figure out what had happened. All of your things were here, too. Everything seemed completely normal. And yet you knew something wasn't right.
And then your D.D.D., which was sitting on the bedside table, dinged.
You picked it up and found a message there.
UNREGISTERED
Hello.
You groaned to yourself before responding. There was no doubt that this was Nightbringer's doing. What did he want with you now? Why send you back to the human world?
MC
What did you do? Where am I?
UNREGISTERED
You are in the human world. I have sent you back to your time, though a little bit into the future. Something has changed and your presence is needed here.
MC
What are you talking about? Who are you?
UNREGISTERED
Be patient. A messenger will come and you will need to choose. Save the brothers or save the human race.
I look forward to seeing what decision you make.
You put down your D.D.D. What did this mean? Save the brothers or the human race? Why did you have to choose?
You tried to contact any of the brothers through your D.D.D., but got no response. You tried calling and texting, but there was nothing. You checked Devilgram, but there were no new posts from anybody. You called Diavolo, Barbatos, Simeon - anyone you could think of. But there was no response from anyone.
What was happening in the Devildom?
Nightbringer had said to be patient, but how could you be?
You got out of bed and got dressed. You found the kitchen fully stocked and ate some breakfast. Then you prepared yourself to teleport back to the Devildom. If they wouldn't respond, you would just go find out what was happening for yourself.
You prepared the spell, spoke the words aloud, there was a flash of light and then...
...you were still in the kitchen of Serenity Manor.
Your spell hadn't worked. You frowned. This was not good.
You couldn't just sit around in the house while things were like this, so you left through the front door.
You immediately noticed the dark skies - thick grey clouds with red edges, almost like they were about to burst into flames.
You walked out into the town and found people, but they all had their heads down. Some of them were fighting, yelling or getting into fist fights. People were running around and a lot of them looked scared. You tried to talk to someone, anyone, but nobody would acknowledge you. They just rushed right past.
And then, seemingly out of nowhere, four beings came down the street. Time seemed to freeze as they went past in slow motion - four enormous horses ridden by four ghastly creatures shrouded in mist and shadow. Each horse a different color, each rider slightly different, but all absolutely terrifying. You felt a chill run down your spine as they went by.
You considered what you were seeing. Looking up, you saw the skies had turned ever more red, just another symbol of the darkness you knew was about to come. The people around you were in continual conflict and you were fairly certain you just saw the four horsemen ride down the street.
This was the beginning of the apocalypse.
You rushed back to Serenity Manor. You sat and tried your D.D.D. again, desperately calling and texting everyone and anyone. You mentally begged someone to respond.
You were pulled out of this endeavor by a knock on the door. You practically ran to the door, flinging it open to reveal Simeon standing there.
"Simeon!" you cried out, pulling him inside and shutting the door. You turned to him, clinging onto his hands. "What's going on? Nobody will return my texts or calls! It looks like the end times outside! Nightbringer sent me here and told me I would have to choose - what's happening?"
Simeon was frowning. "I have a message," he said. "I'm here to tell you that you're the only one who can stop Lucifer. If you don't, Michael will have to and then the world will perish as God has turned his back on humanity."
You stared at him in shock. "Where is Lucifer?"
Simeon rubbed at the back of his neck. "I'm sorry, MC. The Devildom is in chaos. I don't think your calls or texts are getting through to anyone. It's just that you disappeared and Lucifer… "
"I can't get back to the Devildom," you said. "I tried to teleport there, but it didn't work for some reason. How can I stop Lucifer if I can't even reach him?"
"Nobody can go in or out of the Devildom right now. But it doesn't matter. He isn't there anymore," Simeon said.
You were about to ask what this meant when there was another knock on the door.
You whirled, opening the door to reveal Satan, Mammon, and Solomon.
You ushered them inside, then glanced outside at the sky which now seemed to be completely on fire before closing the door.
You turned to them. You were relieved to see them, even if they looked grim. "Where is everybody else?" you asked.
"It's a mess, MC," Solomon said. "Lucifer is out there -" he waved vaguely toward the front door "- tearing the human world apart looking for you. Diavolo and Barbatos tried to stop him, but he anticipated that. He's used some sort of spell to put them to sleep. Leviathan and Asmodeus are trying to stop him. Beelzebub and Belphegor are trying to wake up Diavolo. And we came to look for you."
"He's lost his mind, MC," Mammon said. He and Satan were both in demon form, seemingly on high alert because of the chaos happening outside. "I tried talkin' to him, but it's like he's not even there anymore."
"I also attempted to speak with him," Satan said. He was angry, evident by the expression on his face, but he was trying to keep it inside. "And then I tried to use magic to stop him, but he's too powerful."
"You're the only one who might be able to reach him," Solomon said. "If you don't, it could mean the end of everything."
You turned away from them for a moment, taking in everything they had just told you. Lucifer was out there, destroying everything. It didn't make sense. He wouldn't go against Diavolo like that, would he? Not over this.
"I don't understand," you said quietly. "Are you sure this is about me?"
There was an odd light in the room suddenly, which trembled for a moment before resolving into an angel you had never seen before.
Almost everybody else recognized him, though.
"Gabriel?" Simeon asked.
The angel looked around at those gathered in the room. "Simeon," he said. "Mammon, Solomon, it's good to see you all again. And you two must be Satan and MC. I've heard plenty about you as well."
"What are ya doin' here?" Mammon asked. He didn't seem upset, but he did seem perplexed.
Gabriel looked around at them. "Ah, yes, you see, I'm here to tell you that you should not interfere with Lucifer and the apocalypse."
"You can't be serious," Solomon said. "You really expect us to just stand by and let this happen?"
Gabriel looked at him seriously. "The fact is, this is how things are supposed to go. You all seem to think that Lucifer is doing this because he let his emotions get the better of him. But actually, Lucifer is doing this because this is as it is written. He is meant to start the apocalypse. If you intervene, you will be upsetting Father's plans. Leave this to Michael. It is for him to resolve. Stay out of it."
You could feel an unexpected anger welling up inside of you. This was the message from the Celestial Realm? That you should just sit back and let their plans go forward, resulting in the destruction of your home and likely everyone you've come to care about? You couldn't just let this happen. You couldn't watch that unfold. You couldn't allow Lucifer to be used as a catalyst for the end.
And you were done waiting around.
"You can go back to the Celestial Realm and tell them to kiss my ass," you said, turning around and marching out the front door.
The others rushed to catch up to you, Mammon reaching your side first. "MC! What're ya gonna do?"
"I'm going to stop this!" you said. You stood out in the street, looking up at the sky. You gathered all your energy, every ounce of magic you could muster.
Then you took a deep breath and said into the howling wind, "Hear me, and heed my call. In the name of the sorcerer MC, I draw upon my pact with the ring of light. Come forth, Lucifer!"
The wind, which had kicked up tremendously in the time you were inside the manor, became even more wild. The sky split with red lightning and the world became dark momentarily.
There was an aura of shadow concentrated in one spot in front of you. As you watched, Lucifer materialized from out of it.
He was in demon form. His eyes were fully red and glowing ominously. But they were also empty. They seemed to look right through you.
"Who would dare to summon me?" he asked. It was Lucifer's voice, but it was devoid of any real emotion. He didn't yell. He spoke in a normal tone, but it was flat.
The sound of his voice and the look in his eyes caused you to shiver. But you stood your ground.
"Lucifer, you need to stop," you said. You let your voice match his tone - not yelling, just speaking normally. Behind you, you could feel the presence of Mammon, Satan, Solomon, and Simeon - a network of support. You weren't sure what had happened to Gabriel.
"And why should I listen to a human like you?" he asked.
"I think ya should use stay on him," Mammon said from behind you.
"I think that would be a terrible choice," Satan said.
"Be quiet, you two," Solomon said. "Let MC handle this."
You were prepared to continue trying to talk Lucifer out of destroying the human world, but you didn't have the chance. The light that had appeared in the house before manifested again now, this time resolving into two angels. One was Gabriel, but the other one…
"Michael," Lucifer said dully.
Lucifer raised a hand and suddenly all of the avatars of sin appeared. Mammon and Satan no longer stood behind you, now having been dragged to Lucifer's side. Every other brother was there, too, lined up on either side of Lucifer. Some of them blinked dazedly as they were confused about where they were now. But as they realized what was happening, every single one shifted into demon form.
"This is the end of the human world, as it was meant to be," Michael said. "These seven demons must be destroyed. In the process, all of humanity will be lost. Prepare yourselves."
"No!" you yelled, launching yourself at Michael.
Solomon caught hold of you and held you back. "MC, you won't win this fight!"
"I don't care!" you yelled. "I can't let him do this! I can't let him destroy the human world, I can't let him destroy Lucifer and his brothers! I love them!"
"If you try to get in the way now, you'll die for sure and then everything else will get destroyed anyway," Solomon said, his arms squeezing tightly around your waist.
You turned around in his hold to face him. "Then help me!" you cried. "Together, aren't we strong enough?"
Solomon looked into your eyes and saw the determination there. He knew he wouldn't be able to talk you out of this. And he also knew that he couldn't just leave you to do it alone.
Solomon nodded and let you go. "All right," he said. "You have pacts with all of them. Use that. I'll back you up."
You turned back to the demon brothers. All of them now seemed to be under whatever was influencing Lucifer. They all had that dull look in their eyes - as though nobody was home.
Michael was gathering power. He seemed to be glowing brightly with light that was as blinding as the sun.
You had to stop this and it was your last chance. You muttered, "Hear me and heed my call…"
You weren't sure what you were doing, but you could feel the pacts inside you. You reached for that connection, though they all felt far away. You grasped them in your mind, in your heart. And you felt the magic explode from you, rushing through the pacts, filling the air around you.
The ring of light began to glow. At your side, something else seemed to be glowing. You glanced over and saw that Solomon's ring was also glowing and he was feeding magic into you.
Overhead, the skies trembled. The clouds remained dark red. The wind continued to blow through everything at high speeds.
And then everything paused. There was a stillness as the wind instantly died. The magic remained frozen. Everyone was as a statue.
And there was an entity before you, but you couldn't see who it was. They were too blurry for you to make out.
"Are you choosing the brothers, then?" the being asked.
Somehow, you knew it was Nightbringer. "What? No, I want to save both!"
"Right now, that is not a choice," Nightbringer said. "If you save the brothers, the world will still be destroyed. If you destroy the brothers, the world will survive. If Michael destroys the brothers, the world will be destroyed in the crossfire."
"No," you said. "There has to be another choice!"
Nightbringer laughed. "You are so much like your teacher. Always trying to find another option when there isn't one."
"Maybe you're just too narrow minded to see all the possibilities," you said.
"Very well," Nightbringer said. "You're about to send Michael and Gabriel back to the Celestial Realm, effectively removing them from this fight. What happens after that is up to you."
As time began again, you could feel the power of the pacts and the rings running through you once again. And just as they had done once before, the gates to the Celestial Realm were opened. With a mighty push of your magic, you managed to shove Michael and Gabriel back through them before slamming them shut.
You felt yourself wobble as the magic died down. You took one step and fell, but found yourself in Simeon's arms. Solomon stood in front of the two of you, facing the brothers.
Every brother was still in demon form and all of them still had that empty look in their eyes.
"Foolish human," Lucifer said. "Now that you have removed my greatest obstacle, the world is doomed. As it was written, so it shall be."
You cried out, but you were too weak to move from Simeon's arms. "Lucifer, please! I know you're in there! I know all of you are in there still! If ever any of you loved me, please… please…"
Your voice was fading as you were losing your strength. Solomon's hands were balled into fists as he stood in front of you and Simeon. You could see little sparks of magic around him. It wouldn't be long before he, too, would be too weak to continue. He glanced back at you. "MC… won't you choose humanity…?"
You bit your lip. "I will if I have to," you managed to say. "But let me at least try to reach them first."
Simeon's grip on you tightened. You were sure he wanted to do more, but now that he was human, he could do nothing but hold you.
"Lucifer," Simeon said. "You rebelled against Father once before when you believed his decision was wrong. I know you don't want to do this. Why wouldn't you defy him again?"
"Simeon…" you said weakly, amazed that the former angel would say something like that.
And yet, these words seemed to reach Lucifer. He looked at Simeon, really looked at him.
"I don't think this is what Lilith would want," Simeon said firmly.
And as you watched, there was a spark in Lucifer's eyes. A glimmer of something that used to be there.
You felt some little strength return to your limbs. You turned to Simeon and said, "Please help me up."
Simeon stood, pulling you up with him. Your legs were shaky, but after a moment you were able to let go of Simeon and take a few steps forward.
There was a dark aura still around Lucifer. The other brothers appeared to be in a trance, unmoving, unseeing, still in demon form.
You stumbled past Solomon, who called your name, but didn't stop you.
You reached out and touched Lucifer's cheek. "You always tried to make me think that I was the one who belonged to you. But deep down, Lucifer, you know that you are mine."
You watched as recognition seemed to flare in Lucifer's eyes. You hoped this reference to things he said when you made your pact with him would remind him of just who you were. Who he was.
"MC…" he said, voice uncertain.
"I know you're in there, Lucifer," you said. "Come back to me. Please."
And that was all it took. No magic, no bright light, no dramatic auras. Just a few words spoken with all of your heart. You watched as he seemed to come back to himself. The glowing red of his eyes faded away until you were looking once again at the familiar ruby and black. Nearby, you could see the other brothers shaking their heads, as though coming out of their trance.
Relief flooded through you. Your muscles gave up and you felt your knees buckle. You would have fallen to the ground, but Lucifer caught you. He pressed you to himself, cradling you carefully but tightly.
"MC," he said into your hair. "What have I done…?"
"Don't worry about that now," you said, your voice low as your strength continued to drain away. "Please, can we just go home?"
You would fall asleep in Lucifer's arms. When you woke much later, you would find out that the Celestial Realm was not happy with this turn of events. But you would be in the Devildom again, in the House of Lamentation, with the brothers all looking after you. And it would take some time to fix the damage that had been done by this event. But with the brothers beside you, not to mention everybody else, you knew that you would be able to make things right again. Assuming, of course, that Nightbringer didn't plan on sending you through time yet again.
