Magedon and his demons stood at the western Gate of hell, wondering if it was wise to go in or if it was better to just go back to earth and continue to enjoy their lives as free demons.

He sighed as he looked at Lucifer's sword which he hung around his shoulders in a box-like bag. He had disguised the weapon in a way that even Lucifer himself might not recognize it. He sighed again.

"We cannot risk taking this weapon with us to gallivant here on earth, we need to take it to our kingdom and hide it the room of demon secrets no one dares to enter there." He said after a brief thought.

"The room of demon secrets?, Wouldn't it be suspicious?" One of the five demons with him asked. "I mean wouldn't the other demons ask questions? They would want to know what we are putting inside of the room."

"Not if they did not know that we put anything inside the room" Magedon countered.

"Not that I am trying to question your authority sir, but how is that possible, when we have five guard demons always on standby duty, guarding the room. How do we kill them without raising eyebrows?" The demon asked again, trying not to piss Magedon off, bit to his surprise Magedon just laughed it off.

"Who said anything about killing anyone?" Magedon asked. 

"I have everything already planned out in my head." He added.

"So what's the plan sir?" The demon asked again.

Magedon smiled briefly before answering; "well, like you all know, things in hell have changed for the better, Lucifer is no longer Lord over hell, or over any of us for that matter. So, since I am in charge of the demon section, I give the orders, five of you would be on guard duty tonight, and then we'd secretly put the weapon inside the room of demon secrets without any body suspecting a single thing."

The demons around him smiled broadly at each other, wondering why none of them had even thought about such a brilliant Idea earlier on.

"So, by the smiles that I am seeing on all your faces I can now say that, we all agree with the plan right?." Magedon asked; to be sure that he was not misinterpreting the appearance of things.

"Yes boss, we are cool with it." The five demons replied happily.

Magedon smiled broadly too, before walking into the gate of hell, with his demons behind him.

"How do you Intend to make yourself God?" Felix rephrased the question which he had asked Michael earlier, to be sure that he understood how detailed the inform he needed from Michael was.

"Well now that we have gotten to this part of the conversation, I want you to listen very attentively, because you have a very Vital role to play in this." Michael said grinning from ear to ear.

Felix was not really sure if he  got what Michael was trying to tell him correctly. "What do you mean by me having to play a vital role in your plan to be God? I don't even know what plan you are referring to."

Michael chuckled. "Well that was why I scheduled this meeting wasn't it? For you to know about the plan. Well here goes; For me to be God, I need support from the soldiers of Hell to help me fight, I knew Lucifer would not fight on my side considering the fact that he had already lost the battle once, so I had to figure out a way to get him out of the way, and I did."

He paused for a little while after saying this, to let what he had just said sink into Felix's thick skull. When he was sure that Felix had started to understand the gravity of what he was telling him, he proceeded.

"At first I thought that you would be able to harness the full power of Azrael's blade, but when I saw that it wasn't working in your hands, I had to bring Max back to life." 

Felix seemed to be confused in this part, he was about to ask something, but then he remembered that Michael once sat on God's throne, and anything must have been possible for thinking then, so he just sighed and let Michael continue saying what he was saying.

Michael took another sip off his Brandy before he proceeded; "I've never seen Max as a true leader, to me Lucifer even did rule well, but I'm sure that you are going to make a better leader, you are my first choice, and you always have been."

"What are you trying to say?" Felix asked, not so sure where the conversation was heading to.

"Well I'm saying how about we make a deal. I'd help you take over Hell, and you'd help me become God, when you become ruler of Hell, and together we'd be formidable for eternity." Michael said with a smirk on his face.

Felix sighed; "Who the hell told you that I was interested in Ruling hell?" He asked.

Michael paused for a while, then he bursted into an uncontrollable laughter.

Felix winced; "Is it so obvious?"

"Even a blind man can see that you really need the throne." Michael said trying really hard to control his chocking laughter.

When he had successful put himself to check, he asked; "So what do you say Felix?".

Felix sighed briefly shaking his head from the left to the right side "all this shit is fucked up. How sure are we that God doesn't already know our plan, and that he's not making moves ahead of us already?" He asked.

"Relax, He's not on the throne right now, he went on a little mission to get Azrael for Lucifer who is already dead." Michael said. He chuckled. "Imagine his surprise when he comes back and finds out that his beloved son is already dead."

Felix pondered on the whole discussion that Michael had just had with him as he watched Michael turn himself another glass of Brandy and gulped it down his throat.

"I'd have to think about it Michael". He replied finally.

Michael sighed; "time waits for no one Dude, I hope you make the right decision.."
