The sterile, electric hum of the machine vibrated through the empty chamber. Lucifer stood pinned, the angelic steel cuffs cold and unyielding against his wrists. Vox's trap had closed; a conduit siphoned his divine essence, channeling it into a blaster calibrated to fracture Heaven's gates. A few paces away, Alastor was lashed to a metal chair, his radio-static grin a blade of silent mockery. Lucifer flinched, not from agony, but from a deep, invasive pull. He forced a theatrical grimace. "It's merely a tickle... ah, no—a dreadful tickle! A positively vile tickle!" The blood loss was real, a creeping weakness, but his performance was flawless. The air between him and the Radio Demon crackled, thick with old, bitter hate.
