the rise of the sons of satan

As soon as the train stopped the four teens stepped out of the train and were greeted by a swarm of reporters.

''Son of Satan! Is it true that you killed Michael to get rid of the competition that your father faces?''

A reporter asked.

''No''

Danny answered with an irritated tone.

''Then why did you do this?''

Another reporter asked.

''Hell is embarrassing these days, we let Eden do all they want. I decided, it's time to stop and so I killed Michael''

Danny answered.

''With such strong ideals, it is impossible that you don't support any candidate for being the king of hell. Can I assume your candidate is Momotaro who stands to your right?''

One of the reporters asked.

''No, Momotaro is my left hand man. My candidate is my brother, the next demon king, Marcuse Bloodborne''

Danny answered with confidence that made everyone make astonished faces.

''Hey, isn't it the demon king?''

A reporter asked.

''What? Where?''

Another reporter asked.

''Oh, shit. It is him!''

Other reporters said.

''It's the demon king, Satan, the eldest son of god''

Another reporter said.

''Good to see you... Son''

Satan said and waited for Danny's reaction but the reaction he got wasn't what he expected.

Danny started bursting out in laughter and when he stopped he said.

''Son? Don't call me son, you are my father but as of now, I guaranteed you are leaving for Eden and that my candidate will be chosen. I don't owe YOU anything so don't talk to me. And how dare you reveal my identity to everyone, I had a life and people who won't trust and other people that will treat the LOW rank demon BASTARD son of Satan even worse than the way they treat me before they knew. Guys let's go''

Danny said to Satan and then started heading out with his friends.

''Oh, no you don't. Locus postea!''

Satan said and both Danny his friends and Satan himself vanished.

********

''Where are my friends?''

Danny asked as he sat on one side of the table in the dark and nearly empty room.

''They are in a separate room cause I got news for you''

Satan answered.

''What news?''

Danny asked with an intrigued expression on his face.

''My father hates Lilith, and since I can't bring her with me to Eden, I'm leaving her. So I can correct all the bad choices I made because of her including treating you only like a tool''

Satan answered.

''And how do you plan on making up for all you did to me?''

Danny asked with a disbelieving tone.

''Most of the current gifted went to the other side and knowing that both of us want you to find them all, I will explain to you how the other side works''

Satan said.

''Okay, I'm listening''

Danny said nonchalantly but truly he hated the fact that he had to rely on his father.

''There are an unknown number of realms and gods. Each god can create as many realms as he wants and can do whatever he wants in his own realm, though gods can't mess with the realms of other gods. When a mortal dies his soul moves to the closest realm that is not controlled by the same god. The closest realm to us is very similar to those weird ass novels that mortals write in the sense that it is a very generic fantasy world in comparison to those books. The reason is that gods can mess with the memories of a soul when it is reincarnated. The writers who write those stories did not bring those ideas out of anywhere but actually, those are vague memories of the other world. People that the gods let them keep all of their memories are called reincarnated, like your brother''

Satan said.

Danny's' eyes widened in shock.

''You knew''

Danny asked.

''Yes''

Satan said.

''So, I need to build a party of people that I trust and head with them to another world?''

Danny asked to check if he forgot something.

''Yes. Oh, and they have their own version of humans and demons and what not so don't be stupid''

Satan said.

Satan snapped his fingers and each one of the teens appeared in their own house.

''Do you have an empty room?''

Emma asked as she looked at Danny's house.

It was not a particularly small house, it had three rooms on each floor, a living room, a kitchen, and three bathrooms but compared to the houses in Eden and other houses in hell, this house clearly indicated that the owner of the house was poor and very likely to not have a lot of space in the house.

''Yes, this house is not as small as you may think''

Danny answered and they both went in.

''Yo, mom. I'm back!''

Danny called to his mother.

''Master Danny! You are back!''

Sara ran towards Danny from another room.

Danny's eyes widened when he noticed that Sara is crying.

''What happened to my mother?''

Danny asked with a hesitant voice.

''When you didn't come back for more than one day she thought, she has been abandoned again and gave up on trying to survive''

Sara said with tears in her eyes.

''No, no, no! It can't be, not her too''

Danny mumbled to himself and the lights in the houses started flickering.

''Sara, can you please call my troops for me?''

Danny asked his maid.

''Yes, sir''

Sara answered and went to make the calls.

''I'm sorry for what happened to your mother''

Emma said to Danny and tried to embrace him in her arms to comfort him but he rejected it and just went to his study and waited for his comrades.

********

On Monday of the last week before Danny goes on his journey and Marcuse probably gets nominated as the demon king.

''Hephaestus, Emma, Momotaro, Ishtar, chaos, Jennie, Mira, Marcuse, Sara from the house of Baal, Naomi, and Sara my trusted maid. You are all people that I see as my allies and I would like you to accompany me on my journey at the other realm. Of course, I know some of you wouldn't accompany me but I want to know who will''

Danny said to his most trusted allies.

''I can't accompany you, I am a teacher and I have a family but if you ever come back and you would need help, I will help you''

Hephaestus said.

''I would love to join you but I can't promise that I will until they reveal the results of what jobs we all get, at the end of the week''

Chaos said.

''I already pledged my sword for you so you know my answer is yes''

Momotaro said and looked in the direction of chaos.

''I have nowhere else to go so I will accompany you''

Ishtar said.

''Of course, I will''

Emma answered.

''I will have to share the same answer as chaos but you have to know I would love to accompany you''

Mira said.

'Did she just emphasize the word 'you'? What is her relationship with Danny?'

Emma thought to herself.

''You know why I can't''

Marcuse said as he smirked toward his brother and Danny grinned back.

''I will go where my brother goes''

Jennie said.

''I would stay here with Marcuse''

Sara of the house of Baal said as she went close to Marcuse but then Naomi kissed him on the lips and said.

''Someone needs to keep our next demon king from making mistakes he will regret so I will stay with my Boyfriend''

''I will accompany you since I can't imagine how you will wake on time without your favorite maid''

Sara said kind of playfully and kind of seriously.

The others started chuckling and Danny's head dropped from grief over his dead social status.

********

On Tuesday of the last week before the end of an era.

''Atlas, I would like you to join us''

Danny said with Momotaro to his left and chaos to his right.

''So this is how you betray your cousin? Do you have no self respect? Joining the sons of Satan is treason''

Atlas said.

''You know that when Cronus will lose the elders will order you to kill him and you will have to choose sides, so why not choose a side now''

Chaos said.

''Fine... But I will be the one to finish him of''

Atlas said.

Wednesday of the last week before the next demon lord is chosen.

''Cronus of the Greek demon clan died and left only the divided sins and the sure to win son of Satan''

Sara read the title of the article to Danny.

''So, we are going to win no matter what''

Danny said with a relieved face.

********

The day of departure.

The entirety of demon society was hooked to their TVs as the final verdict regarding the next demon lord was being said.

[''Marcuse Bloodborne do you accept this crown that symbolizes the protecting of the freedom of the people?''

The one who crowns said.

''Yes''

Marcuse answered

The one who crowns placed the crown on Marcuse's head.

''All hail the new demon lord, Marcuse Bloodborne of the house of Satan''

The one who crowns said and the entire population of the realm cheered for his win]

The sounds on the TV were nothing in comparison to the real thing and Danny's ears were in pain, though the adrenalin from succeeding minimized the pain.

About an hour later Danny went to his school to see which of his allies will follow him on his adventure.

For this ceremony unlike the start of the year ceremony, the floor was cleaned, and polished and the walls were repainted.

The principal went up the stage and called the names of students and their new titles one by one.

''Chaos the one hundred and sixty third, the right hand of the antichrist''

The principal called to chaos.

''That's a weird occupation like, what the hell is the antichrist? Am I right kids?''

The principal said and surprisingly a lot of the students laughed.

''Mira of the house of Baal, the other realm's navigator''

The principal said and people started talking in the audience.

''Here is another weird one. Momotaro, lord of the Oni demons, the left hand of the antichrist''

The principal said.

''Naomi, the first wife of the demon lord. Well, I guess there is no need for an I do''

The principal said and giggled.

''Ishtar the fourth, the anti christ's left hand's assistant. It truly looks like they made an entirely new line of jobs for this Anti Christ guy''

The principal laughed.

''Sara, the demon lords top maid''

The principal said and the students were shocked by the idea of a high rank demon as a maid.

''Jeanie, the right hand of the anti christ's assistant and here we have the last name in this peculiar lineup of weird jobs. Satan's agent, the antichrist, Danny the son of Satan''

The principal read from the paper and was surprised to see Danny's name and as such, so were the audience.

''Bullshit, that damned half mortal can't be the son of the king''

One of the students said.

''I actually heard that Satan revealed he had a bastard son to a newspaper in Eden''

Another student said.

''Wasn't it just a rumor''

Another student asked.

Ding.

Ding.

Ding.

Noises of notifications came from the crystals of the kids as the surprise interview from when Danny came back from Eden, finally have been authorized to be released.

The audience started being louder and louder and at the point, it reached a certain point the principal shushed everyone.

The ceremony kept on going and reached the ending point.

''Before you all go, you need to pass by your classrooms to gain the energy unlock for your job. Except for the antichrist party where only the navigator needs to get energy unlock''

The principal said and all the students' excluding Ishtar, Jeanie, Momotaro, chaos, and Danny started going to their classrooms.

''So, are you joining me?''

Danny asked.

''Do we have a choice?''

Chaos asked.

''Really, no but I would like my right hand demon to want to be there when I reveal the secrets of the gifts''

Danny said.

''So I shall accompany you through, what do we call realms of deferent gods? A multiverse?''

Chaos asked.

''Well, I don't know either but all we need to do is wait for Mira to navigate on our journey''

Danny said, and they all waited and waited... and waited and waited until finally Mira went out of the school and Danny called his father to arrange a car and everything they need to be brought to them so they could get to the teleportation pad and be ready for their journey.

After an hour of awkward silence in the car, they got to the portal and saw who waited for them.

*******

At the portal, there were already Emma, Sara, and Atlas waiting with their equipment for their departure.

A bit further from the portal, Satan and Marcuse were waiting for them.

''Well, brother. This is goodbye. I don't know when I'll see you again but you can count on me to rule hell at least as well as our father''

Marcuse said as he shook his brother's hand for goodbye.

''I don't believe you can do much worst, so you are already on the right path. Oh, and by the way. Mephisto knows your secret''

Danny replied as he turned his face to his father and Marcuse became petrified with fear.

''And about you, ass hole, you really had to make Sara Baal into my brother's top maid knowing their relationship?''

Danny asked.

''What, they had a prior relationship I didn't know''

Satan said sarcastically.

''I truly am proud of you, my son. I know I was shit but I truly do think you can become practically a god in the other world, I mean they have angels, demons, and mortals living together without constant wars, they can't be eviler than us''

Satan said and with these last words Satan and Marcuse stepped off of the teleportation platform and the platform began glowing.

Everybody closed their eyes, even Emma wasn't able to withstand this level of brightness and when the light got weaker they opened their eyes and saw they were in another world.
