[Working for Lucifer]
"Why are you all out here, what's going on?!" Lucifer asked angrily, standing before several of her skeleton guards.
One skeleton guard raised a nervous finger. "W-we're...we're losing, ma-"
In the middle of the sentence, the skeleton guard was abruptly seized by the horns, courtesy of Lucifer, and repeatedly struck with her knees. The other skeleton guards were understandably frightened; they knew that their boss, Lucifer, could be a cold-hearted bitch at times, but goddamn.
Lucifer took a sip of her wine before angrily throwing it at a wall. "How are we losing to a man that's FIFTY YEARS OLD?!"
"M-ma'am, he's the Hellta-"
Lucifer punched another skeleton in the face, knocking their head off. Miraculously, they were still alive, but in pain. "Shut the hell up!"
The skeleton guards wanted to run away, but they couldn't.
Lucifer grabbed another guard by the neck and looked them dead in the eyes. "How many men do we have?!"
"One hundred and si-"
Lucifer back-kicked a skeleton guard, knocking them into a nearby wall. "Stop fighting him in groups and go it at the SAME TIME!" Lucifer ruthlessly knocked her skeleton guard out with two punches to the face before dropping them to the ground. "Which one of you has eyes on the intruder?!"
"H-Here, ma'am." A skeleton was holding binoculars. "Please don't hurt me."
Lucifer forcefully took the binoculars from her guard and quickly glanced out the window; there, she observed Helltaker engaged in a peaceful conversation with a demon girl. "He's having a DIALOGUE!" Even more frustrated, Lucifer firmly gabbed a guard by their cheeks. "Go out there now!"
"To hell with this job!" After mustering up all his courage, the poor skeleton finally found the words to refuse his furious boss.
"I'm sorry; refusing to fight is penalty for death," growled Lucifer. "So I suggest you-"
CRASH!
A skeleton guard crashed through Lucifer's window on the highest floor, having been thrown by Helltaker.
The mortal had a good arm.
Lucifer peered out the window and spotted Helltaker, who was waving at her with a seemingly innocent smile on his face.
"That mortal...!" Lucifer took her guards, then back to her skeleton guards. "Well?! Shoot the bastard already!"
One of the guards that had been attacked raised a shaky hand. "Do we have-"
"No!" Lucifer stomped on the skeleton's head.
