2,000 Years of Boredom

It's been two thousand years since Sandalphon was sealed away in Pandemonium, but his grudge against Lucifer continues to burn. For some unknown reason, the seal on Pandemonium weakens, and Sandalphon takes the opportunity to escape. Surveying the blue skies Lucifer so loves, Sandalphon puts his plan for revenge in motion.



An island shaped like a giant tower floats in the eastern side of the Phantagrande Skydom. Its name is Pandemonium.
Sealed within its walls are the archangels and origin beasts that rebelled against their creator.
Among the insurrectionists is an archangel unlike the rest.
Sandalphon: I need a change of scenery.
For nearly two thousand years he has been isolated from the Sky Realm.
Millennia of drudgery is enough to break the most stalwart of souls, but for Sandalphon, the somber flames in his eyes have yet to be extinguished.
Otherworlder 1: ...
Sandalphon: It's in one ear and out the other with your kind.
Sandalphon: Have you never seen an archangel before, or is this a misguided attempt at showing me pity?
Sandalphon: You'll have to excuse me, but I never agreed to go on display. Get out of my sight!
Otherworlder 1: ...!
Sandalphon: Hmph.
Sandalphon: I'm trapped in a cesspool. Everything is in a state of stagnation.
Sandalphon: The noxious stench wafting from those Otherworlders offends the senses.
Sandalphon: It reminds me of the first time Lucifer treated me to a cup of coffee.
His grumbling overflows with palpable loathing.
Sandalphon: And yet, that would be far more preferable to this incarceration, although being at the research lab was no different from being placed under house arrest.
Sandalphon: I've... changed since then. I have a purpose now.
Lucifer: What is it? Are you still contemplating your purpose?
Sandalphon: Yes. It weighs heavily on my mind. Why haven't I been given one after all this time?
Lucifer: How many times must I repeat myself? That is not something you should be concerned with.
Sandalphon: But...
Sandalphon: ...
Sandalphon: I just want to be useful to you...
Lucifer: Isn't it time for you to reveal that to me? For what reason was he created?
???: He's your spare in case something happens to you, and you become unable to fulfill your duties.
???: The idea was for him to awaken temporarily to fill in for you until you fully recovered.
Lucifer: A spare to act as a substitute?
???: Heh heh heh. Realistically speaking, that won't be necessary.
???: You've far surpassed my wildest dreams. You exist on a higher plane. Sandalphon is useless.
???: That scrap will be disposed of at an appropriate time. I suppose you may keep him if you've grown attached to him.
Sandalphon: I'm useless scrap? How could I be nothing more than Lucifer's backup?
Sandalphon: It must be a lie... But then just what the hell is the meaning of my existence?
Sandalphon: ...!
Sandalphon: An archangel born without a purpose, doomed to languish with each passing day.
Sandalphon: But because of your neglect, I found my calling in revenge. I owe it all to you, Lucifer.
Sandalphon: I have a reason to live now. I've outgrown the safety of the nest.
Sandalphon: Just you wait... I'll be the one to—
Sandalphon: Ngh! Pandemonium is shaking?
Sandalphon: And what is this dominating presence I'm feeling? Is it Lucifer's? No, this is even greater than his...
Sandalphon: Tch, what is happening!
Sensing that the presence is coming from above, Sandalphon looks up toward the summit of Pandemonium and comes to a realization.
Sandalphon: The seal is weakening? But how?
Otherworlder 2: ...!
Origin Beast: ...!
Meanwhile Otherworlders and origin beasts around him take flight, attempting to escape the tower during this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Sandalphon: Oh well, who cares what the reason is. Hehehe... Luck is on my side.
Sandalphon: Finally we can have the reunion I've been dreaming of, Lucifer... One that's been two thousand years in the making.
Sandalphon: Clear the way!
Sandalphon: Hehehe... Gahaha!
Sandalphon cleaves through the escapees in his path as he hurtles toward the open sky above.
He shoots out of the tower, reveling in the expansive, unobstructed view afforded to him at the top.
Sandalphon: Blue as far as the eye can see...
Sandalphon: Is this the sky's hue you profess to love? Even without me, the world you envision is a thing of cruel beauty.
Sandalphon: This is all the proof I need that you never wanted anything to do with me. I never had a place in your world.
Sandalphon: Heh... Ahahaha...
A quiet, bitter chuckle escapes his lips, growing with intensity until he is roaring with laughter.
When his laughing fit subsides, his face becomes twisted with an expression of immeasurable hatred.
Sandalphon: So, Lucifer... If I were to stain this sky a different color, would you come to see me?
