It was boiling hot that night, and almost everyone was in their homes with the air conditioning on. Except for one man, who didn't even notice the heat. He was clad in a black outfit, complete with a pair of round black sunglasses. He walked tall and proud, not even aware there were other people around him.
"Well, well, well. Look what we got here." A group of muscled men surrounded the man in black, cracking their knuckles and pulling out knives. Then something happened that defied all logic. The ground beneath the man was slowly being covered in ice, and the air was getting to the point of freezing. The muggers all stepped back a bit.
"The hell are you?" one of them screamed.
"... Surely you've heard of the icy hand of Death?" The man replied, pulling a blade out of thin air and lunging at his assailants.

"Hear voices through the wall,
Whole room comes to their feet.
I know it's never enough,
Rendered obsolete.
Just a shot in the dark.
My god, what have you done?
Spills out in to the streets.
All bows down to…
Valkyrie.
Tell me everything and baby I'll believe.
Dancin' with the devil sweating gasoline,
Rollin' down the river
Cause it's automatic, so dramatic, every time guaranteed..." Lucifer sung out at the piano, to great applause. The devil smiled, knowing he was finally having some fun for himself. That is, until Maze came up to him.
"Detective Decker is here to see you." She patted his shoulder, and he sighed heavily.
"Sorry, everyone. Afraid I have some business to attend to. Enjoy the rest of the evening." He walked away and went to the bar, where Detective Decker was waiting for him.
"Hey, sorry to interrupt you, but we got something pretty strange." Chloe explained, and then took notice of one of the entertainers on the balcony. "Christine?!" she called out.
"Oh, hey Chloe. Listen, would Sunday be good for you? I gotta work tomorrow." Christine explained, all the while leaning over the balcony to her lover.
"Uh sure. 8:00. See you then. You, come on. Now." she dragged Lucifer away at his displeasure.
"Yes, yes. Is the hand grabbing really necessary?"

"So, initial reports say the victims surrounded a guy in black, and then he attacked them."
"One man against a small mob? Sounds intriguing." Lucifer smiled.
"Anyway, the guy just slaughtered them and walked off. But according to one eye witness says the ground beneath the man turned to ice and the air got colder." She motioned to the spot of the attack, which had a large ice of ice floating in a pool of water.
"... Interesting. What kind of weapon did he use?"
"That knife." She motioned to one of the victims, which had a crystal-like black dagger sticking through his heart. One of the M.E.s went over to the body, and went for the dagger.
"No, wait!" Lucifer shouted out, but the M.E. grabbed the hilt, only to be frozen to the point of being pure ice, and then shattered.
"... What was that? Do you know what kind of blade that is?" Chloe muttered, still in shock.
"Oh yes... A reaper blade... Death is loose in L.A."
