Smoke up in the nose. Blaring loud alarms. Elizabeth gathers her strength and lifts open a hatch to the giant orb-shaped prison/ vehicle she was in. The struggle of moving wasn't a tedious task at all, she was bruised and ached a bit but when she started to move her body felt as if it was lighter than air. As she stepped out of the vessel she looked around at the catastrophe and damage it had made. Sparks and funnels of smoke were coming from the debris around her. "It looks like I crash-landed into some forest... somewhere," she thought to herself. Elizabeth moved away from the crash but didn't get far. She felt a tug on her neck. As she looked behind her she saw a red cape and realized she was not in her clothes from before. As she stared at the red cape it all came back to her.
I was in Heaven... I was under his control. His... Him, Lucifer. Is it THE LUCIFER? The Devil, the fallen son of God, and the most horrible thing to happen to the human race. Evil incarnate. What the hell is going on. She concentrated on her memory. He possessed me. We were flying and destroying everything. The flashback came.
"What, the armory!?!" Elizabeth said to Lucifer in her mind. "Yes, Lucifer said, I left an old friend there and now it's time to reconnect. By the way, nice boobs." If she could roll her eyes without being possessed she would. "Why have you possessed me, what is going on??? Give me back my body!!" she screamed inside of herself. "I possessed you because you found the feather, you needed it more than anyone else therefore, fate delivered it to you via a library book. I am now taking back what is rightfully mine and we are going to get some real shit done around here and start a revolution. Giving back your body is counterproductive. You need a path to happiness and I need my family back, we can help each other. Really though, I can help you more than you can help me."
As they flew through the heavens they came upon a giant golden building with jutting baroque style figures and spheres. "ah, the armory! Getting close now." They were now being swarmed by flying contraptions that sent out waved orbs of light that disrupted the gravity around them. "Idiots, I built half of the defense systems in this place, pssht trying to use my own weapons on me..." Lucifer said. Elizabeth's body formed rails of light around her creating a tesseract cage upon herself. "With this configuration, we will just stroll on in."
"Lucifer! Let her go you cannot and will not be allowed here, you know the consequences" A large mandala formed in the sky shrinking and sliding against the air then forming into the shape of a metatron, a shape containing all shapes, three dimensional and fourth dimensional. As it forms the air becomes heavy and the tesseract around Elizabeth becomes pulled towards the ground. "Ah," said Lucifer, "Euriel, you son-of-a-bitch! How I have missed you! And look at that grandiose entrance, so much of a showman!" Eurial snarled. "You've always thought you were great with sarcasm and humor, but you're just a snide smudge of nothing," said Eurial. "There is a lot of power in being nothing, infinite power, Eurial." Lucifer rebutted.

As Eurial and Lucifer finally meet face to face, Eurial forces his metatron defense to expand within the tesseract surrounding Elizabeth. She cringes in her head, then hears a voice. "You child is not on this plane and should not side with this failure." It was eurial in her mind. " I can't... I am lost..." Elizabeth began fading into the back of her mind where walls of inky darkness began to engulf her consciousness. Lucifer screamed, "Eurial, you're killing her. She is innocent!" "You are one to talk, to use her as a vessel of rebuke! She must be disposable, once tainted by the thoughts of your consciousness! I will lay smite upon thee!" said Eurial now inside of the tesseract pulling its hinges and edges apart.
Elizabeth became cold in spirit, her mind losing oxygen like a soon to be smoldered flame. "I am a mother," she said to herself. "A mother to a child who is lost and taken from me. These deities, these angels, they are keeping me from what I want, my son. I'm in heaven, I am on the other side, I will find the soul of my child and I will bring him home." With that last sentence of thought. The darkness around her left her mind and then became realized and tangible outside of her body, it became a suit of black horror that was under her command. She was not Lucifer, she was not Elizabeth she was actualized hate, sorrow, and love in a form never seen before.
"Lucifer, what are you!?! What have you become?" Eurial said in horror, as he stared into the eyes of the figure before him. "I am not Lucifer and I am not Elizabeth!" The black specter announced. "I am the conduit to the beginning of your ending, I am OMEGA!" Eurial's hand began to be swallowed by the beastly black darkness and then it dissolved his metatron. He was bare and sickly. "What are these, feelings, these are not real, these are something new," Eurial screamed. Eurial was pushed back and in the process obliterated into the nothingness that was swallowed by the darkness. The feelings he felt were not of anything or anyone created has ever felt. It was an indescribable feeling, one that takes love and hurt and realizes they are one in the same. It was and is the in-between of everything and nothing all at once. It was the feeling that became the eclipse of Eurial.

The black beast of horror took another breath and then returned Elizabeth to her old self. She and Eurial were so high up that now without anyone at the wheel of her mind, she was in freefall. As the golden Spheres of the armory below wisped past her sight, Elizabeth passed out from everything going on.

Lucifer on the other hand, awoke in the middle of this freefall. When the conduit of Omega came into being from Elizabeth, Lucifer was forced out of control of her consciousness and became a passenger in her mind. Now he could gain control again to continue where he left off. "Elizabeth" he said, "Are you there???" Elizabeth was not responding. "You relax kid, This mess is almost over, what the shit did you do to Eurial? Where did you get that power?"
Possessed by the devil himself Elizabeth, continued on into the armory. Inside was a vast white, like a painted fog thick to those who do not know where they are going. Elizabeth stopped and looked around the air swirling around her in a milky dew. "He would never be able to rid himself of it..." Lucifer said, "it was the one gift he ever made for me." Then in the fog, just a slight gleam caught their eye. That has to be it. Elizabeth raised her arms to her sides and shoved her hands forward bringing a tesseract swirling around her. The tesseract left her and wrapped around itself moving forward reflecting the inverse of the atmosphere in the room to show what Lucifer was looking for. The Archangels Aegis, in a particular form of just a perfectly round ball. Elizabeth reached out for it, and through her, Lucifer said, "Ah finally reunited old friend, Back where you belong where the end meets the beginning, full circle." he smiled through her, "Now that I have this, they will have to listen to me. And it will keep those two at bay enough for the girl to have something of an edge."
In her hand, the orb then became loose threads of a silky metamaterial that began to wrap around her, and in a way felt to the similarities of a mother covering her child with a fresh warm blanket, and also as if you now had the instinct and courage of that protective mother imbued into oneself. It had given her a feeling of hope and confidence. As it wrapped around her and soaked into her body it became a fitted armor of sheen and glistened starlight and a red cape swallowing the attention of the atmosphere. It is the armor of an Archangel. Lucifer's armor.
"Well Elizabeth, it is time for the second part of our journey, to escape this defiled place and look for my brother. You are a means to an end, but I will not abandon you as I did them." He said. They then left the corridor and around the corner of the armory, they found a hangar bay of sorts. Filled with so many wondrous vehicles, and enormous airships," Ah the holy fleet of Arc. we will not be needing something so dramatic, to get away we must be a bit more conspicuous." They made their way to the farthest edge of the hangar bay and looked out onto the edge of Heaven. Black with stars and twinkles from galaxies, the emptiness was vast, he then looked over his shoulder, back to the entrance of the hangar bay with sunlight radiating through almost in blindness and a blur of silhouetted bodies shouting inaudibly and coming towards them. The prince inside of her paused for a moment, somber, melancholy, and thought of his early first months of existence. "From the dark bodies in the light to the light bodies in the dark," he said, they went down a pair of stairs. And just before the previous horizon of the Arc fleet left their view, Lucifer forced out one last projected tesseract towards the largest of the ships, setting it in flames with chaos, creating a deterrence from which the pursuers could not pass. Then stepping out of sight, they touched the outside wall revealing a secret escape pod, "Right where you said it would be Malachi." Now, ejected into the void Lucifer thought "I will rest and soon we will find my brother."
Elizabeth remembered this all and the flashback faded away [https://em.wattpad.com/fafe122615a9a24bc42dd7c4435d9d03f886ca4f/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f45624166304669645171464c7a673d3d2d3937313031303439372e3136343061663836376437666531386438323335323231393731362e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Elizabeth remembered this all and the flashback faded away. She began to walk further away from the crash and in a "thwip" by her feet an arrow landed. She looked down and picked it up. Another crossed her face and fell. She quickly reached out to touch her cheek and then an arrow bounced off of her hand. A shout came from the trees "You are not welcome here! You have devastated my home!" Elizabeth looked back to see a lean boy garb in native clothes with a bow in hand rushing towards her. "Shit!" she thought to herself.
