Azzy Plotline Review
((Okay, this is going to be a really long post, with some highlights since Az's betrayal. Which is a lot more than anyone probably wants or expects, but here I am doing it. It's basically going to be a lot of excerpts from different pieces that I feel are important.
First, we have Az's betrayal:
The room has been destroyed. Like a tornado has gone through. Except for one clean circle on the floor. With his phone lying in it. The only unbroken item left in the room. Asmodeus is nowhere to be found. Beelzebubs heart drops into their stomach. “Az- ASMODEUS?!” They sprint to the phone, frantically opening it. Terror filling them, seeping into the bond despite themselves. … Oh god. No. No no no no NO!
When the phone turns on, everything on it has been deleted. There is nothing. Except the background has been changed to a message. I’m sorry honeybee One day, you’ll understand
After he goes back to Lucifer and gets his collar, Az was chained to the mirror. Here are some Asks during that time:
the-ineffable-dreamer asked: So what you wish for the most is for them to be happy? Why look for them in a mirror, then? Why waste your time with daydreams when you can be happy with them in reality?
“No,” Az pulled his hand from the mirror, curling up on himself, “No.”
.
Anonymous asked: Can we help?? In any way???
“Just,” Az stared into the mirror a long moment, then added, quieter than a whisper, “trust me.”
After he was released from the mirror and Lucifer took the throne here are some more Asks:
Anonymous asked: The bird or the cage, freedom to or freedom from. Freedom to do anything the choices are yours. Freedom from everything and everybody, safety in entrapment. You picked the cage.
Asmodeus snorts. “Pretty words, I bet you’re proud of yourself. I never said I didn’t pick this cage. I have been quite adamant that I did, in fact.”
.
Anonymous asked: I don't get it, didn't you have a thought on how this might effect the others? Bel? Bee? Pepper?
Rolling his eyes, Asmodeus readjusts his seat by the empty throne. “I thought this out, and I made my decision.”
.
Anonymous asked: So what if, hypothetically, oasis wins? What's left for you?
“I guess I die,” Az replies, shrugging slightly. As if the answer were of no consequence.
.
Anonymous asked: You really care about Pepper, though. Surely you wouldn’t hurt her if you got the chance.
“There should be no reason for Pepper to be involved,” Asmodeus replies simply, straightening up once again.
.
Anonymous asked: Is there any messages you want us to give your siblings?
For a moment, Asmodeus is silent. Once again, he looks around the room. “Yes,” He says slowly, “Everything comes full circle in the end. This was inevitable. Remember that, and think on it.”
Next we have an excerpt from the end of 'Pet' thread with Lucifer. Just before they are going to attack OASIS retrieving Levi:
Asmodeus nodded with a grin, as if Lucifer had promised a yes. Then he rolled his shoulders and stepped in close. His arm sliding around the man’s waist as they began to dissolve. His other hand briefly brushed over the grip of his sword over his shoulder. Reassuring himself that it was there, and ready.
For an instant, completely undetectable to Lucifer, his bond with his siblings opened. It flared wide. Blasting the others with the knowledge that they were coming. Then it was closed tightly once again.
An ask after said moment:
Anonymous asked: Do you want to fight them?
I want to end this.
The next major event was the fight between Az and Bee 'Rematch'--and honestly, I wanna quote the whole battle, but this thing is already gonna be long enough. Already is long enough. So here is one small scene:
Beelzebub waved the steam away from their face, and tilted their head. Looking at him, trying to read him. It was not usually so hard. But he was as unreadable as the day he had nearly killed them. As he seemed to be trying to do now.
“If I dropped my blade, what would you do?” They asked. Trying to reach out through the bond. Find any form of emotion besides this mask.
As they reached for him, they would find the bond tightly closed. As it had been since he left. But there was something leaking through. Just a little hint of emotion. Determination. Though for what, it was impossible to say.
At their question, Az raised his sword again. “Don’t,”
Now we can move on to the point when Asmodeus is being held at the OASIS base, and Lucifer is coming to ‘rescue’ him.
There was no response from Lucifer. But it was clear he had gotten the message.
In fact, he was on his way.
Beelzebub noted this too, but they were still too disassociated for the dots to connect until they felt Levi speaking through their bond, one that Az was still very much shut off too. And a sense of resignation filled them, because they had had an idea, but to have it confirmed made it worse. “….fine.” They said finally to Az. “You can wait here for Him.”
Levi, grab Bel. I’ll take Dagon.
Before Beelzebub even finished speaking, Asmodeus opened up his bond. Wide open, his pain rushing through along with one single message. It was shouted at his siblings.
Run.
Then it was closed again. Through it all, he stared at Beelzebub. Face blank. Eyes unreadable.
And, I think that about sums up the most important points, along with the full posting of ‘Just for a Moment’ that I posted. Yes, I do believe that entire thread is important. For any of you who have born with me to read this entire thing, thank you, and enjoy! -Mod))
