Lilith Miki

So I had come up with another AU for Miki and this time its set in the Devilman Lady manga verse! Btw I want to mention my Devilman Lady Manga verse has a ton of changes to the canon but keeps some of the plot points of the manga but I work on them more to give them the space they needed i.e Jun turning out to be a reborn Satan, in my AU Jun finds out sooner and she has to reckon with it before becoming resolved to protect humanity this time to give them the chance she had robbed them once. It also gives Akira more time to come to terms with it before he joins forces with Satan against God at the end.

Disclaimer: I know not everyone likes the manga version of Devilman Lady but I thought some of the ideas were good and should've been developed better, and I have no interest in debating whether the manga or the anime is better, or whether the manga's ending is bad or not. The Devilman Lady anime is its own thing and I do think was better done in how it did its own story line as it was more focused.  

When Miki had been killed by the mob she was brought to Heaven, however instead of a peaceful paradise she had expected, Miki discovered that it was really a prison of light where everyone there were brainwashed to worship and fulfill every whim their tyrannical God desired, and that God didn't really care of the horrific conflicted down on Earth and all the innocent humans being murdered by their own. Miki managing to break through the brainwashing, had called out God for doing nothing while his son, Satan, had gotten humanity to destroy themselves and letting the demons and devilmen armies fight to the death when he could've spared everyone the conflict if he had stepped in. God angry that not only had Miki broken through the brainwashing but also having the nerve to call him out, thrown her soul down to Hell, hoping that after being torn apart over and over again would make her obedient and beg for his mercy. 

However Miki wasn't so easily broken, not anymore, she wasn't the naive girl anymore, she knew better that if she wanted to survive in Hell she would have to be willing to fight and not hesitate again. Miki ended up merging with a snake demon, becoming a devilman, taking on the name Lilith and fought her way through Hell, wanting to find Ryo/Satan, at first wanting to make him pay for what he had done to her, her family and Akira. But as time went on Miki's heart had hardened and she had time to reflect on the circumstances of her death and Akira's role in humanity's destruction, filling anger and resentment towards the man she once loved and thus couldn't bring herself to go to find Akira, her anger and the self-disgust of what she had to become to survive made her avoid and Akira having feared of how he would react if he finally faced his old friend meant that their paths did not cross. And upsetting of all, she started to understand why Satan hated humanity given her own cruel death. The more demons and humans she had met in Hell had made Miki come to a realization that demons and humans weren't so different after all but she still held the belief that ultimately humanity did not deserve to be destroyed and while she had hated Ryo/Satan for what he had done, he would be better off as her ally against God, who she saw as a greater threat.          

When Miki had finally reached the last layer of Hell the Satan she had encountered wasn't what she had expected, she never thought he'd ever be so remorseful for his actions against humanity. She didn't know what to think feeling so mixed up about him, finding that she both hated and pitied him, she couldn't forgive him but she didn't want to hurt him anymore, his guilt had done a good enough job as is. Ryo/Satan told Miki that he would help her fight God but they couldn't go after him just yet, not until he had found a way to bring all of the demons, titans and gods out of Hell, but for her in the meantime to help ready the demons to come back and fight God's army for when the time was right. Miki tried to ignore her softening feelings for the man who had once ruined hers and her loved ones' lives, even after all he had done, despite her hatred of him, he was still the only one she had contact with that remembered her family and Akira. She tried to pretend that she didn't feel lonely when Satan had left Hell to be reborn on the new earth, even so she couldn't help but mostly stay in lowest level of Hell, waiting for his return and for Akira to finally come. In the meantime she gathered many demons as she could who were still willing to fight for Satan's cause and became a leader to them in her own right, making the demons come to terms that they were wrong in destroying humanity

When Akira had guided Jun down to the lowest level of Hell and discovered that Satan wasn't there anymore, they both soon encountered Miki. Miki felt a cocktail of emotions of meeting Akira again, anger for how long he had taken to find her and for basically replacing her with Jun, shame for his horror at what she had become(he wasn't horrified but saddened at how much her personality had changed and blamed himself further for failing to save her) and happiness at seeing him finally after all this time. Miki felt strange around Jun, like she was familiar to her somehow, resentment and joy mixed into one. Miki again tried to swallow her feelings but they exploded and she tearfully yelled at Akira for not coming sooner before breaking down and sobbing into Akira's chest as he embraced her. Akira was a little skeptical when Miki explained that Satan had shown regret for his actions and wanted to stop God, but it had made Jun wonder if that was true or not, emboldening her further to seek out Satan.

After Jun had left Hell to look for Satan, Akira had spent much time between Hell and the New Earth, wanting to catch up with his old love and protect his new love. Once past her initial resentment of Jun, Miki had come to care for Jun, admiring her willingness to protect humanity and not make the same mistakes Akira had done, but couldn't shake the feeling that she had known this woman, and Jun had felt the same, feeling both affection and guilt towards Miki but not knowing why at first. 

When Miki came to learn alongside with Akira that Jun was actually a reborn Satan, she felt anger and jealously towards her, feeling bitter that she didn't get to become innocent again, and told Jun as much, who was very apologetic and didn't fight back or defend herself against Miki's wrathful shouts, only stating that she never wanted to hurt Miki again and that she really did want to save humanity this time. Miki through spending time with Akira, had softened her heart and her admittance of wishing she had become innocent again, and Jun's declaration of wanting to save humanity from God's tyranny, calmed her anger and she finally broke down and admitted to Jun/Satan that she had missed her. The two women hugged each other before going off on their separate paths, Jun looking for a way to bring the demons back and also allow humanity to exist as themselves so they can free themselves from God's control and Miki gathering her demons ready and helping Akira gain the respect of his Devilman army back. 

eventually at the end, Miki stands with Akira and Jun/Satan as they ready themselves to fight God and free everyone from his cruel rule...

Phew that was a lot more than I expected to type XDD but I wanted to share this AU and I hope you like it. :3
