A/N: My my my thank you for clicking my story. All I have to say is that I hope you enjoy it and if you don't you can go and fuck yourself because I don't care. if you like it review please because that's what all authors want when they write a story since after all our fans are the ones we write for (if not ourselves) but yeah if you feel like flaming this go right ahead because once you do it I will lash back and trust me it's better to just walk away and go fuck yourself than mess with me and my insanity issues. This is going to be a really long chapter so I suggest not to read it all in one sitting since yeah if you're like me if you stare at the computer too long you'll start to hallucinate (hahahahaha). Anyway I hope you enjoy this and trust me there's a reason this story is rated M and I'm sure in later chapters you'll realize why but yeah for all you retards who didn't get the hint this story is violent and smutty so if you're offended by that leave now cause I don't want to deal with assholes like you so go the fuck away. Now that that is out of the fucking way lets begin shall we kiddies good let�s go. By the way this takes place after the ending of Angel Sanctuary so I would suggest reading the series before reading this since otherwise this could be confusing alright then. Oh and this story takes place a few months after the series ends and everyone that is alive and part of Setsuna's gang is in Gehenna doing whatever so yeah Heaven's all fixed and stuff so everything is kind of running normal again.

"There is only one god.
Do not worship graven images.
Do not kill unless without a proper reason.
Know your rank.
Do not covet others.
Do not show any emotions besides respect.
Do not disrupt the system."
-Creed of Heaven
"My children, hear only my voice.
Do only what is good and pious.
But I decide the line between good and evil.
You don't have to worry about pointless things.
-God
"If thy hand or foot offend thee cast them off, and cast them from thee...
...It is better to enter life halt or maimed, better than...be cast into everlasting fire.
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee...
...It is better to enter life with one eye, rather than...to be cast into Hell fire."
..."Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I'd rather burn than please you 'God'! Watch and laugh as I burn in flame, I dance for you. With carved out eyes and torn out tongues die as dogs for your God!
-Response of a sinner who's name is unspoken by all pure angels in God's court
Briah (Heaven, 2nd Level)
Three figures made their way down the corridor not really worrying about stealth; no one remembered this place anymore or its inhabitants. Briah. One level below Heaven's tower where "God" was once kept. Briah had secrets though like all the other sphere's of Heaven. Of course the point of a secret was that no one knows about it, then again secrets always end up found out somehow.
Beneath Briah's facade of high class angels and holiness lurked something darker, the labs and the vaults. Even Alexial wasn't considered a big enough threat to be kept here but this was a place for Heaven's mistakes and experiments not for its glory. They walked further in silence. One had that clown smile forever painted on its face and the two walking beside the harlequin looked grim from their distaste for their company and of what they had been forced to do.
"Wasn't there one more of you when I came to visit" spoke the clown, Belial to her two companions as they walked towards their goal.
"She had better things to do." spoke the one to Belial's left. The one with the severe gaze and cold eyes that never left the Hatter waiting for betrayal in any form to give her an excuse to jump on the trickster.
"Vai! That's not polite and even worse it's not true. Don't worry about Vai, Miss Hatter; she's just being grumpy today. Meir couldn't be here, she had to prepare for our guest." replied the young one to the Hatter's right, quite the pretty one was all the Hatter had to say about her, with her lavender hair and glowing eyes.
"I could care less. Now don't move pretties it's time for me to go wake up our sleeping beauty and after all I do believe she said something about it being only me who wakes her up I'm sure you understand." Replied Belial walking ahead up to the locked vault where what they had come for was being kept.
"Ha ha ha ha she'd kill you for the sleeping beauty thing 'Miss' Hatter." replied the one called Vai using the other ones words against her.
"I am aware of that but that's what makes this so fun" answered Belial slipping through the vaults outer locked entrance with finesse only a devil could have.
Inside the vault Hatter had found what she was looking for hanging there like an animal being punished. Chained up and branded was Hell's future savior. This is what Heaven does to those who they don't like.
Belial walked towards the body hanging by it's wrists in the center of the small room. The room itself was coated in angel crystal to prevent and angel from using astral power to break their bonds.
Hatter brought the tortured and weary body down with a flick of her wrists to snap the chains of angel crystal. The creature was quite lovely herself as the Hatter would put it, probably as fair as Alexial. A look of contempt burned across the former angels features which gave the savior of Hell an evil feral look that made Belial even merrier than she already was.
Belial set the body on the ground and looked over the youthful body. Imperfections marked the body in the form of small scars one would rarely give a second glance, of course Belial knew that they were from the torture they had given the poor girl. The mark of the fallen was burned into her back on a cross that covered almost all of skin with red and black ink.
The name on the cross gave away who and what exactly Hell's savior was, and what they could do as well.
"Such a sorrowful creature. Oh but what a beautiful plight. How lovely my dear savior that you are found so much like Heaven's own trump card. Cast out and chained up. Ah, but alas our savior has always managed to keep her soul. What a pity to be kept like an animal, even if that is what you are. Branded and scarred by the weight of your own sins."
Hatter paused for a moment looking upon the girl once. Alexial surely had a rival now. The cast out one with long auburn hair, firm body from the fights she fought and won and those she lost, those eyes beneath the blindfold, she wore now, were piercing and cold. They saw your sins and condemned you for it. Her haughtiness, severity, insanity, and of course the charm to seduce anyone heaven or devil and maybe even Belial herself if she choose too were what made her perfect for Hell.
"Ah dear Lilith a perfect puppet to help hell" said Belial with a tearful little laugh.
Before Belial could move the body by her feet did and thrust an arm through her throat. The blood coated the attacker�s body as it oozed and squirted out of the Satan�s jugular.
"Your voice annoys me so stop talking as if you know what sin is little devil." spoke the girl before removing her hand from Belial's throat.
"Nice to see you haven't lost your charm." replied the Hatter as the hole in her throat healed.
"You look for love in fleeting moments. You long to taint things, for that is what makes them stay with you. You know nothing and yet that only adds to your charm" spoke the one the Hatter had called Lilith moments before.
"Well then I could say the same for you my dear" replied Belial looking at the girl now.
'Yes she really is just as lovely as Alexial only tainted and insane, ah such a lovely time we shall all have dancing in Hell while Heaven bows before the devils.' thought Belial grinning ear to ear knowing the one in her wake couldn't see this with the blindfold on.
"I seek no happiness and I seek nothing that you have to offer. Life and Love are just as useless as time, their just there forever unchanging. I seek pleasure which brings about more tragic an ending that you could create yourself little angel." said the girl to Belial.
"Ah yes tragedy I guess you would know about that. Pleasure and pain is what got you here." stated Belial.
"Your body may be stained but your soul still shines with envy and lust. You are too pure for me to stand little angel." replied the girl.
"Would you rather me leave and let you wallow in memories of your pleasure?" questioned the Hatter with a smirk.
The one called Lilith merely smirked herself before answering "Of course not, I just like talking about useless things and then acting against them later. A savior of Hell you say? Heaven and Hell are ideas you take comfort in because of the suffering each has to offer. Why would I wish to save an idea of something so fragile?" asked Lilith back.
"I thought we already explained this when I came to visit before, don't you remember or has your mind forgotten how I came to visit you?" replied the Hatter.
"I remember Hatter but do explain it to me again, if nothing else I love the things you say." said Lilith.
"I'll give life to those who haunt your mind. I'll release the ones who plague your dreams." said Belial
"Hahahahahahahaha, how funny you are dear Belial. Devils like me don't dream and what you call haunts and plagues have life and souls and bodies too, though their bodies cause them such strife. Then again that's why they're in that place that I made for them isn't it?" asked Lilith with a little laugh.
Belial paused before replying and Lilith took this as an opportunity to keep talking. "I long for them and they long for bodies, it's a fair deal when you think of what I'm offering. Of course you know this already." Said Lilith
"And so they shall have their bodies. If you help me, I'll help you. I'll let them out of that place that they so foolishly locked themselves into." Said Belial with that ever present smirk still on her face.
"Yes. I know you could do such a thing easily but I'm not really one who likes picking a side Hatter. Especially when I can play with both while getting the same things and having more fun." spoke the one called Lilith.
"My way is more interesting." retorted Belial.
"Of course it is, that's why I'm letting you talk instead of ripping your tongue out." replied Lilith
"It'll grow back" stated the devil nonchalantly.
"I know, see what I mean." replied Lilith.
"So bitter, so feisty. Perfect I think I'm in love my dear." said the Hatter with a smile and a glint in her eye that reeked of insanity and perkiness.
"It would never work out baby. I get jealous easily and I can't be interested in someone who enjoys me like you. It would never work, you understand." was Lilith's reply.
"Of course hahahahahahahahahaha." laughed the Hatter at the statement.
"Of course I would be the perfect savior though now that I think about it. After everything is said and done who is better at what I do than me?" asked Lilith with a smirk now choosing to sit down on the cold floor instead of standing knowing that this was going to be one long conversation.
"Ah but my dear, 'Lilith' is but a name and a myth Heaven forgot it made up in the first place. Hell will make this myth a reality just for you when you come to join us and help us outshine heaven and all it's angels." answered the Hatter.
"Ah, yes 'Lilith' is such a very pretty name. It's the kind of name that only sounds good in a story with some tragic heroine who dies in vain for some pointless matter. I never was an angel when it comes done to what really happened, though you already knew that Hatter. Of course angels hardly think of an outcome like this when they name each other and make up those horrid little stories." said the girl now thinking deeply on the matter.
"I had forgotten about your name. Pardon my ignorance my dear but even ones such as I do forget things sometimes." retorted the Hatter back at the girl sitting on the ground in rags and a blindfold, burned and branded by those angel fools.
"Don't worry yourself about such trifle matters. In the beginning when this all started that name may have fit but now it's too pure to be the name of a devil and demon like me. Do not apologize for your ignorance it is a common mistake and besides ignorance and beauty are pairs they complement each other perfectly. More often than not those who are too clever end up annoying and contemptuous." replied the girl.
"So Hell's savior has risen from the shadow of a light from Heaven to go and fight for the darkness that kept you there. Poetic isn't it, of course that was just so much fun to say hahahahahahahahahahaha." laughed the Hatter with that ever present smile burned into her face.
"Go drink your tea Mad Hatter hahahahahahahahahahaha." laughed the girl back.
"Shall we go then? I've made my offer and you have accepted and now I do believe we are done here." stated the Hatter taking out a pocket watch and examining the hands carefully before snapping it shut and putting it back into her trouser pocket.
"Yes I suppose it's time to go and finish this little job for you." said the girl dryly with a smirk of her own knowing full well what the Hatter's reaction would be.
"I wouldn't consider saving Hell to be a little job my dear, you ought to watch what you say or I'm liable to become angered." hissed the Hatter menacingly.
"Then I suppose we disagree now this is going to be fun Belial." answered the girl who hadn't even flinched from the clown's tone.
"Fear usually is fun for the fool my dear." replied Hatter who was now getting annoyed at the impudent girl at her feet.
"I fear nothing, there is nothing to gain from fear Hatter and you know that. Fear is useless just like time you should know that since after all you are the persona of the Mad Hatter forever imprisoned in your little Tea Party of horrors." replied the girl back to the Hatter.
"Now that would only be true if you plan on living forever isn�t that the truth of the matter?" asked Belial calming down from her ranting before.
"Everyone plans on living forever. It is those who want to live forever that understand the facts of fear." answered the girl.
"You and your paradoxes. You were never an angel no matter what Heaven or the others say you are still a tainted little devil that glows with brilliance from a sharp tongue and poisoned mind." said the Hatter.
"Seraphim�s are the closet to 'God' and his light. They are also the ones that become the most corrupt and tainted if they gain a will of their own. Why else would I be this way?" asked the girl still not moving from her spot on the floor.
"I'm sure there are other reasons you are like this but that certainly explains a lot. I suppose we really should be leaving soon. I think I said that before my dear, please do go on though your words intoxicate me like those of my master." stated the Hatter with a chuckle and yet another smirk present on her face.
"I can't wait to have my fun Belial." said the girl.
"You're the only one who I allow to call me that besides my lord. Don't throw it around with such disdain." said the Hatter.
"Hard to not have disdain for a useless one like you Belial." retorted the girl playing around with the harlequin's emotions savagely trying to get a rise out of her.
"Come savior, Hell's Bells scream for you." replied the Hatter trying to control her emotions from getting the better of her.
"They scream for all of us Hatter. Time to start the game my lovely little jester of Hell." replied the girl still not moving.
"You're quite fun Lilith I do believe I adore you. Oh oops I don't suppose you like being called Lilith now do you we need to get you a name suitable for a devil like you." said the Hatter merrily.
"Atayla is what you may call me, it�s the name they took from me before the branded this putrid name of Litheal. I'm not one for silly little fairy tales. I would love to carve this brand off of me and burn it in the fires of your home Hatter, but it is a part of me now it's too late to get rid of it. It�s what proves what I am and what I�ll always be, do you understand?" questioned Atayla with a grim smirk on her face.
"If all the angels in Heaven knew who you really were they would hate you even more. I do believe your plight is worse than Alexial's once was." was the Hatter's reply.
"I will help you Hatter, but remember there are things I need to do now that Heaven has been reorganized and has settled down." said Atayla.
"Of course I understand. After all you did mention that when you contacted me in Hell. I remember that you have your little revenge to take out, just make sure not to cause that big of a mess alright?" asked the Hatter.
"Yes I understand now let�s go and visit the ones that are so dear to me. Oh but before we go to show them what they wanted, tell me how long have I been asleep. I do remember the time I came down last in a stolen body but as you already know they never last long and I must return here, but I' afraid I do no know how long it has been since then." said Atayla with a solemn look on her face.
"'God' has fallen or as you know him, YHWH. Of course we both know of what that thing really was." replied the Hatter.
"Ah good then that mean the real ruler has come out of hiding. I doubt those fools have noticed though. I suppose only those on Heaven's high council have realized that their true leader has awakened now that that little boy or Alexial even destroyed his toy. I'm looking forward to seeing my old friend again, it has been so long since he went to sleep." replied Atayla.
"Oh yes I suppose he already knows that you're awake and ready to leave. I wonder if he will try to stop us?" mused Belial wondering what the outcome of such a situation would be.
"Yes trust me he knows I'm awake now after all he is the one that created all the members of his high council it's only natural that he be able to fell them and their emotions." stated Atayla looking deep in thought over the subject.
"Such fun I hope the two of you have going at each other's throats." mused Belial thinking on the subject as well.
"We do not go at each other's throats and we never have. He merely chooses to do things and watch how they play out. He moves his pawns and goes piece by piece in this petty game of his. He knew his fate from the moment he decided to create all of this. That damn toy of his, YHWH, was nothing more than an interpretation of himself only colder and more precise. He wanted to sleep since there was nothing else for him to do. He is a child playing around with toy soldiers nothing more, nothing less. He is no threat." replied Atayla.
"And yet you hate him so much that you would do anything to mess up his plans." said the Hatter.
"Of course besides he's too interesting to kill and I do love those I take an interest in. So why would I kill someone that gives me so many ways too have fun?" questioned Atayla.
"And thus life goes on." replied the Hatter.
"Don't you know it." was Atayla's comeback to which the Hatter smirked.
"They are waiting for me aren't they Hatter they came with you like I asked?" asked Atayla.
"Yes of course. I still am wondering how you managed to get inside my head and persuade me into this little deal my dear." stated the Hatter.
"I have my ways." was Atayla's reply.
"That you do. It's time to greet your friends Atayla, let's not keep them waiting." replied Belial.
Atziluth (Heaven, 1st level)
"Ah she's awake! So long it has been, my dear one has returned to me." cried out the newly awakened god.
He sat there in his chambers. The high council had realized his presence after the fall of YHWH. His toy had been destroyed by that boy of a savior and that woman, Alexial. Though he was not upset he mourned over not being able to rest any longer now that his toy was gone he actually had to do his job as God and govern his Heaven.
"How do you know she hasn't just awakened to hunt you my master?" asked the benevolent form to his lord's left.
"Hahahaha...yes, but to hunt is to seek and that is all that is needed for her to do." replied the seated god.
"Master your obsession has gone on too long. She's but a puppet, a doll, a toy. Why not take Heaven now and then dispose of her later?" pleaded the angel.
"My dear Iage, Heaven is already mine and has never been out of my possession to begin with. Of course my obsession must be tiring to you and the council by now but she has always been feuding with my whims all the while surpassing them, soon maybe I'll grow tired of this existence and make her God." was his master's reply.
"Hell's new devil is nothing but a fallen one with a pretty face and a tainted existence, with all due respect my lord." stated the angel agitated with his master's hard headedness.
"Well yes, you're right about that. She's as much as a god as I am so that doesn't prove much to me but still she is my favorite creation like the inorganic angel was to YHWH." said the master with a sigh escaping his lips due to his boredom with the angel at his side.
"Master?" questioned the angel with a look of fright crossing his features as his master let a smile grow on his lips.
"You're confused fool? Why? My paradox is only that which asks, is a god only the one with the most power. An embodiment of arcane grace or is a god one with the least power passed on to others as a passing thought, leaving those around it to fear it's imaginary power." said the master with a feral smirk.
"To answer master, thought is power." stated the angel with that fear evident in his eyes and shaking voice.
"No! Thought has nothing to do with. Iage how boring you have become how foolish you behave with the mere thought of pleasing me influencing everything that you do. This is what makes you amusing none the less through the boredom I feel when I listen to you." shouted the god at the shaking angel.
"I'm su...-rrrre you'-..re right ma...-..ssss..ste-e..e..rrr." stammered the angel wishing he had a way out of this right now.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha I love your naivety fool." laughed out God at the angel's reply.
"Wha..-t...ddddo- y..ou meeean...m-m-m..-assster?" stuttered the foolish angel again entertaining his master with his fear.
"You know nothing, never listen, never speak, never think, never learn, you're a bore. You bore me so much I could die do you understand what that means my child? Do you know why this feeling burns me so? Why it tears me apart every time I look at you? Don�t know I'll tell you. It's because I know when my all my children will die except for that one that is my favorite. I know you're going to die and it just kills me every time I think about it my child." laughed the god at his faithless servant.
"...-" the angel couldn't find words to describe his fear or even at least to plead with his god for his life to be spared.
"I would like you to do me a final task before your death little one, you have to send my dearest angel a message and then you can die." laughed the god again at the angels face when he heard this.
"No master please, don not do this to me I have been a good servant I've done all that you have ever asked me. I've been good and pious so that I could please you. Why do you do this to me my master please tell me I beg you please tell me what I have done to make you scorn me so." sobbed the angel crawling at his master's feet pleading with his eyes not to be sacrificed to the fallen angel whom his master loved so dearly.
"You've bored me and now you will go weak one I hope it's a pity that after you die your soul will be reborn and you will have this happen to you again and again, this feeling of betrayal is so suffocating you feel like it will drown you beneath its cloud of sorrow. Go now my poor little puppet. I will ease your pain little angel." replied God as he place his hand on the angel's head.
The angel's eyes went glazed over as the angel rose to his feet and walked out of his lord's chambers to do his task. The angel's body moved on it's own accord while the angel's mind watched in horror as it moved forward on to do his task. He scream in his head for his feet to stop walking but it didn't happen his body just moved o and on.
A lump rose in the angel�s throat and his head ached from the sound of his own screams resonating on the inside of his body. His god merely watched as the angel finally managed to entertain him for once out of the whole time he had served his master.
A female angel with cerulean eyes and curly short silver hair walked towards her God's chambers. For a moment she thought he had left and let a frown cross her chiseled feature before hearing a voice from behind her. "Ceciael. It's been awhile since you came to pay me a visit my child."
"Oh there you are Master Einthe the rest of the council is waiting for you. It is good to have you awake again instead of having to deal with another failure like YHWH take over control." replied the angel known as Ceciael.
"That's why I choose you to take my dear one's place on the council Ceciael, you always say what you want without fear of what could happen to you." stated Einthe.
"I was made this way Master Einthe you should know that by now I would hope." replied the angel with her stoic expression never leaving her face.
"Yes I know that is why I love you the most out of my other high angels, you can't think at all you are to close to my brilliance to have a will of your own. You're like a machine and I can't help but love that icy demeanor you really are one of the loveliest things that I have ever made Ceciael." said Einthe going to sit down in his throne.
"Whatever you say my lord. The others are glad to see you back. They too had to rest while you were sleeping because of YHWH and his running amuck here in Heaven in your absence." replied Ceciael coldly without emotion.
Einthe just sat on his throne unmoving with a sneer on his face at the thought of his council sleeping as he did not doing anything at all in his absence. "Boring fools." was all Einthe could say at the moment.
"They have called a meeting that you are to attend Master Einthe. They have much to discuss with you about what has happened." said Ceciael walking towards the door and then stopping to wait for Einthe to come with her.
"Yes I suppose they have a lot to say about what has happened, but honestly they think that I don't know how foolish my high council is. I have been sleeping for a long while, that much is true, but you would think that I was dead with the way that they talk about me now." replied Einthe with a huff as he made his way towards Ceciael.
The two of them left the room and made their way to the council chambers where they could discuss what to do now that their God was back from his slumber.
Briah (Heaven, 2nd level)
Atayla had to lean on the Hatter for support as she tried to move to one side of the cell so when the other two came in they didn't see her. The Hatter moved the wounded girl to the side where an alcove was and sat her down in it. After moving Atayla the Hatter went to get the others.
"There you go I held my part of the deal your friend is in here and you may see her if she wishes it. I must be on my way I am one of the Seven Satans you know and I do have to keep up appearances so good day to you both and I hope to be seeing you soon." and with that the Hatter was gone in a barrage of those butterflies that she loved so much.
"What the hell was that about you think Chaelly?" asked the girl called Vai to the other who had up until this point been nameless to the Hatter.
"How would I know Vai? You're supposed to be the smart one." replied the smaller girl next to her.
Both girls were very pretty after all they were angels once now they were mere fallen ones forever, that was the way they preferred it anyway. The one called Vai had champagne colored hair that was angled from back to front this kept it from falling in her face too often. For a female angel she was quite tall standing 5'8 and with the appearance of a young teenage woman those dark storm blue eyes could unnerve any one.
On the other hand the one that had been called Chaelly while looking the same age as the one called Vai had a somewhat stranger appearance. With that long neon purple hair that was uncommon for most angels and her bright glowing green and bluish eyes she stood only about 3 inches shorter than the other fallen angel at her side.
"Vai, Chaelly looks like the fun has begun" replied a voice coming from somewhere deep in the room.
"Atayla where are you come out stop playing games." said Vai getting angered that their friend had decided now as the time to play games with them.
"Tay Tay come out we missed you we want to see you." was Chaelly's plea.
"Not yet sorry but you'll have to settle with my voice for a few minutes I'm not in the best of shape and I just need to sit for a few minutes okay." stated Atayla not shifting from her spot in the alcove deep in the room just yet.
"Whatever. Dummy." was all that Vai had to say to Atayla's comment.
"Did you get it?' asked Chaelly referring to the information Atayla had given herself up to Heaven for the chance to get in the first place.
"Of course I did. It took awhile but I got it. They forgot about me being down here so of course their minds were easy to get into Chaelly." answered Atayla.
"Good then we have an upper hand when it comes to this new war. What lengths Heaven will go to, to hide their mistakes." was Vai's reply.
" Tay why won't you come out to see us what did they do to you that's so bad you don't want us to see you." cried Chaelly starting to sob.
"Well I guess you could say what they did wasn't fun." said Atayla dryly from her alcove still refusing to move just yet.
"You fucking fool! Stop with this hiding from us in a fucking corner come out right now or I swear I'll drag you out by your hair Tay. Don't make me treat you like a child just because you insist on acting like one all the time." shouted Vai getting flustered by her friend.
"Take Chaelly away Vai." replied Atayla moving to get up but still staying safely in the shadows.
"Why?" was Vai's reply.
"There�s something about me that I don't want Chaelly to see alright Vai, don't make me ask you again." hissed Atayla trying to move forward but only succeeding to limp a few feet.
"It's something bad isn't it?" question Chaelly with tear threatening to fall from those pretty little eyes.
"Yes sweet, very bad. Would you really like to see what they did?" asked Atayla moving into the lightened part of the room bit by bit.
Chaelly could only find she able to shake her head as Atayla's body came into view. Though her body was caked with blood, branded and burned it was the same as before. Vai and Chaelly looked upon the figure leaning limply against the wall for support with there face gazing toward the floor.
Atayla's body was covered in what was once probably a white dress that all those female angels kept as prisoners had to wear. At one time it had probably dragged along the ground of a clean and untainted heaven. The figure in front of them was ragged and tired, burned and bloody, but it was still Atayla none the less.
That gown once whit was stained black with blood and decay rotting away on Atayla's slim body. Her hair was tangled and knotted from what they could see. The gown was ripped in about 10 different places and hung limply down her shoulders, barely helping her to keep her modesty.
There were ashes on her and the stench of death. She was missing her wings, the torn flesh on her back told them that much. The brand of a black and red cross took up the majority of skin on her back and what was worse was the name on it; Lilith.
As Atayla moved her head up she reached behind her head and let the blindfold fall into her hand. She looked up at Vai and Chaelly with two gaping holes where her eyes would and should have been.
Vai grimaced at what they had done to her. Chaelly sobbed even harder. They both thought the same thing even now with how disheveled she looked, she still had her fierce and feral beauty that Heaven tried to mangle and maim.
"HEAVEN! THIS PLACE OF DEATH IS NO SUCH THING! BASTERDS! THEY STOLE YOUR EYES AND YOUR WINGS, THEY MADE YOU LIKE THIS! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I WILL KILL THEM ALL ARGH YOU FUCKING ANGEL FUCKERS!" screamed out Chaelly in rage one of the things inside her head taking over control for the moment.
Vai and Atayla jumped when they heard her shout. Vai walked over to her and gave her a quick and precise slap that echoed through the whole room.
"Chaelly don't let them control you like that you can't feed of their emotions like that you'll tear yourself apart like the last time." soothed Vai.
"I'm sorry I got carried away." replied Chaelly looking at Atayla straight on for the first time.
Chaelly dropped down to the floor and started to cry for Atayla knowing and feeling the pain she had gone through. Her empath mind was running amuck with emotions of those around her. She could hear the voices screaming louder in her mind until she felt a hand touch her head.
Atayla knelt down to her level and soothed the crying form in front of her. Those calloused hands wiped away her tears and wrapped her in an embrace.
"Shhh it's alright I'm going to get them back soon, my wings and my eyes. Don't cry anymore Chaelly. You're too pretty to cry like that, you'll ruin that pretty face I love so much okay. I'm back and trust me I'm going to be putting foot to ass soon enough okay. Don't worry about what happened to me. I hope those voices hear me too 'cause if they don't shut up I'll have to bang your head into a wall Chaelly." soothed Atayla.
"Yeah they shut now that you threatened them with a beating Tay Tay. Though I would hate to have to get beat up by you." laughed Chaelly drying her tears now.
"Yeah well they ought to be scared shitless of me since after all I am the fucking savior of Hell now ya know." replied Atayla with that trademark smirk plastered on her face.
"Wow looky at how modest you've become over all this time Tay." sneered Vai.
"Hahahaha glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor Vai." retorted Atayla with a snide little sneer of her own replacing the smirk on her face.
Atayla moved to get up. She bent down and picked up the ribbon she had had covering the two carved out eye sockets in her head. Atayla turned to her left where the both of her friends had moved and said "I should get going if I want to get to Hell in a timely manner. I mean I still have to get my wings and maybe some eyes here, 'cause ya know I don't feel like running into any fucking walls and getting even more retarded here than I already am." stated Atayla with a straight face to the both of them.
"Yeah now that would be a fucking tragedy to have Hell's savior be a little impaired. Well then again they should have already been expecting that if they had done their homework." joked Chaelly.
"Damn, Chaelly what have you been doing while I was away to get this sarcastic and smart assed? You're starting to sound like me over here." replied Atayla to the comment.
"She's been watching all your movies." answered Vai with a smirk.
"You mean the ones I got when I possessed that angel body and came to visit you?" asked Atayla.
"Yup that's it." replied Chaelly.
"Which ones have you been watching dare I ask." said Atayla with a little smile.
"Oh you know all the originals; GoodFellas, Reservoir Dogs, Casino, Scar Face, The Godfather, and all the other things you left lying around before you had to come back here." answered Vai.
"Yeah see Meir watches them with me and tells me what their really saying. I'm so mafia right now I'm not even kidding around I swear I dare some fuck nut angel to mess with me right now I will beat his little bitchen' ass into the ground so hard he won't be able to find his way around his favorite cock suck." stated Chaelly sadistically.
Atayla and Vai's reaction was exactly the same. Their mouths went slack and then their jaws fell open in horror when they realized that this was sweet little Chaelly saying this. It didn't matter whether this was one of the things in her head talking or not. The things she had just said came out of her mouth.
Atayla got the first smack to the head in and then Vai slammed a fist into the back of Chaelly's head. "Oww what was that for guys that was Meir's personality coming through there sorry." apologized Chaelly rubbing her sore head.
"I'm going to kill Meir for saying those things in front of you seriously when you guys get back tell to consider this her head fucking start I will fucking kill her when I catch her for this shit. She's been hanging around Chaelly too long those stupid things in Chaelly's head have made Meir one of the attitudes now. This is fucking great." hissed Atayla to Vai getting pissed off at the fact that Vai wasn't watching the things Meir let come out of her mouth.
"Well excuse me Atayla I can't watch them all the time, you seem to be my favorite." replied Vai with an eerie smile.
"Whatever you guys are insane." stated Chaelly with a straight face.
Both Vai and Atayla turned to Chaelly and shook their heads and said at the same time "We're insane uh huh sure whatever you say Chaelly."
"Oh my god guys don't do that creepy thing where you say the same thing at the same time it's freaky okay." sniffled Chaelly with a smirk of her own mocking them just a little.
"I have to get going now guys I've got things to do now okay." replied Atayla walking towards the exit of the room despite her body's lassitude at the present time.
"Wait
Tay here take this." called Vai taking off her long grey coat and handing to Atayla.
"A coat wow! This is the best day of my life! Oh crap don't tell me I've been half naked this whole time without knowing it. Damn that's a first." huffed Atayla angry at her own stupidity. After all not having eyes made it kind of hard to tell what you were wearing.
"Don't be sarcastic. Your wounds need not be seen by those unworthy fool and besides look at yourself. You can look through my eyes for a minute if you want." replied Vai sneering again.
Atayla felt Vai's mind shift and quickly slipped her own into Vai's body so she could see herself. Atayla had to admit despite looking like a ragamuffin she didn't look so bad, but yeah she was walking around half naked, bloody, and dirty. She looked like a stray animal that was in desperate need for a bath. Not even mentioning the obvious fact that she was missing eyes, but hey maybe no one would notice was the one track sarcastic reply of Atayla's mind.
Atayla slammed back into her own body with harsh force exerted as Vai's mind took control once again. "Damn Vai don't be so rough. You could have warned me before you did that, you know I think they call that manners." huffed Atayla.
"Whatever just put the fucking coat on and get your eyes covered. Go wreak some havoc Tay." answered Vai with a little smile at how angry Atayla got over stupid little things.
Atayla started to move toward the exit before she heard Chaelly start to say something. "Hey Tay make sure not to leave anyone alive after what they did to you, if you go easy on them I might have to come back and kill them myself for the things they're making me see. I can see what they did to you and what they said. Kill em' all
Tay and we'll be waiting. Oh and by the way that wasn't the voices talking."
Atayla couldn't help but let a smirk cross those fragile features of hers when she heard that anger in Chaelly�s voice. Now she really did and could kill them all after all Chaelly had even said to do it, and as far as Atayla was concerned that was like confirmation from god himself to do what she wanted. Of course no pun intended was all Atayla could think with these thoughts.
Maybe there was a pun in it all since this god sitting on his throne in Heaven couldn't care less as long as he was entertained.
Quite the sight to see was Atayla at the present moment. A bruised and battered fallen angel fighting off her body and mind's own lassitude to get her own type of kicks. She knew the whole second sphere of Heaven, Briah, like the back of her hand. Of course at the moment see couldn't see at all but it's the thought that counts.
The labs were close she could see them in her mind and what was better was that she couldn't feel anything not even a damn presence on this level of the vaults. Luck was with her for once, not that that ever meant anything but like I said before it's the thought that counts.
After all they had done to make her less angelic and holy it sure came back to bite them in the ass the third time around. The first time around that Atayla had pushed her luck was when she left the high council and her place among the Seraphim to live in the slums and get away from this facade of an existence. She had gotten away with it until Einthe had decided to play around with her head until his boredom subsided somewhat for a few moments at least.
She had gotten away at a high price; humanity. A devil is what they had made her. God always loved his little experiments now didn't he thought Atayla bitterly. She had gotten Chaelly, Vai, and Meir as a result of what happened the first time around so she at least did something right.
The second time Einthe's little toy wanted to make an example out of her and the things she had done after she had left Heaven and what was worse the things she had done while she was still there. This was her time to satisfy her bloodlust for what they had done. At least this time there were no experiments just a branding and a wing clipping and then an angel crystal coated cell just for her.
Atayla was bitter and with good reason. She had found her way into the lab she had searched for. It wasn't hard to find after all even without eyes she remembered everything around her so it was as good as having eyes. She would know when the good Dr. came around. He was going to be first, that was what Atayla had decided after first being locked up in that cell.
Atayla sat on one of the file cabinets in the corner to wait for the good Dr. to come into his office and be greeted with all that bitterness she had acquired over the years as a present for him.
It wasn't long before he walked in. Atayla watched with gaping holes for eyes as he sat down in his chair and turned it around. Atayla moved from her spot and sat directly on the desk behind the turned chair. With a flick of her wrist she turned the chair around so they could come "eye to eye" so to speak.
"

Hello Dr. Meial it's good to see you again." said Atayla gesturing to the blindfold.
"You! N..-no yo...-..ou c-..-can..-t b...eee-ee he..re. The-..y'..ll g-g-g..et you if y-o...u touch me!" stuttered Meial
"Oh dear Dr. I feel as though you're ungrateful and I've come all this way just to visit you I�m deeply wounded." replied Atayla with a smirk at the mans fear.
Meial was an ageing angel who was quite aged with almost no hair and those judgmental eyes that he looked over his experiments with all the time until now actually having one appear before again. After being thrown out that is.
"I haven't done anything so please don't do anything to me I'm begging you please to forgive what I did I'm sorry!" sobbed the Dr.
"Oh you're begging me how polite and nice. Oh please do tell me the truth here Dr. because I'm just dieing to know what you thought about me. Did you think that after they tore off my wings that I'd become one of your ghouls did you think that one of those things you keep in glass cages was me?" asked Atayla.
"You have to understand I did what I was told. You can't blame me for that can't you see what I did it was what I had to do!" screamed out the Dr. trying to get out of the chair.
Atayla slammed a foot to the right of his head and the other slammed down on the left side of his body keeping him in the chair. A smile crossed her devilish features before Atayla spoke again. She pulled on the blindfold and said "Sorry Dr. but I don't have eyes to see out of anymore remember." with a little laugh Atayla pulled her feet off the chair.
The Dr. ran for the door. He was close to getting out before Atayla grabbed one of the glass paperweights off his desk and through it with crushing force at the Dr.'s head. It slammed into the back of his head and he slumped to the floor. Atayla hopped off the desk and walked over to his crippled body on the floor.
He was still awake which was always a good thing since Atayla thought she had accidentally killed him. She picked him up by his collar and brought him over to his desk and laid him down on top of it. "I'll be right back Dr. Meial now don't move or I'll have to hit you again." laughed Atayla as she walked out of the room and closed the door.
She found herself in his little shop of horrors. She knew that there were ghouls in here. Former angels who had had their wings clipped and turned into these monsters. They still had feelings which made them all the more pathetic. Meial had been busy always with his little experiments on trying to make the ghouls civilized enough to fight the wars for Heaven.
Needless to say it hadn't worked out to well as of yet. The moaned from their glass prisons and watched as this pretty little devil with warm flesh teased them with her scent and warm body. They wanted to rip her apart and eat that warmth until there was nothing left but the blood which they would be sure to lick up.
Atayla found what she was looking for on one of the lab tables and said "Ah perfect." with a sigh she walked back into the office to find the Dr. struggling to get up off the table.
Atayla merely sat on top of him and said with that smile never leaving her face "Dr. I'm going to let you keep your eyes for a little while longer for the mere fact that this is something you defiantly don't want to miss." with that Atayla took out the serrated bone cutter knife that she had found on the lab table and gingerly sliced part of the Dr.'s face.
He moaned and Atayla spoke again "Dr. I want yo take your hands so I really hope you enjoy this as much as I do." The Dr. was groggy and probably didn't know what was happening until he felt the teeth of the blade bite down into his skin. Atayla had lifted one of his arms, since he obviously couldn't, and proceeded to saw off his hand.
The task was bloody and Atayla merely giggled at the Dr.'s screams of pain. They were pure pleasure for her ears. After she was done with his hands she saw his eyes were wide open now and the pain had brought him bake to reality. Meial gritted his teeth in pain and said "Kill me." Atayla couldn't help but let a squeak of a laugh pass her smiling lips before saying. "Do it yourself, though without hands it might be kind of hard wouldn't you say?" asked Atayla.
"You bitch you won't get out of here, they'll catch you and you'll get locked up again just like before!" screamed Meial. Atayla frowned at the Dr.'s response. "People like you never learn oh fucking well I'll give you what you asked for. I guess I'll have to kill you now, oh course I still need your eyes though." sighed Atayla.
Using her long nails she jabbed him in the eye socket behind the eyes and yanked the eye until it hung on his cheek, unable to see and connected to his head by a few bloody threads of muscle. Atayla pulled at the bloody cords until it gave and she had an eye rolling around in her hand. The socket of his eye bled and oozed with the puss in the optic nerve.
Atayla smashed the eye in her hand ignoring the Dr.'s painful moaning. She proceeded to shovel the mush of what once could've been an eye into her own empty socket. The mush started to mold into an eye itself. Atayla body knew it was missing its eyes over time new eyes would've produced over time but using the core materials of any eye would make the process speed up dramatically.
After the eye had formed and Atayla's eye color changed from white to her own natural dark brown she repeated the process with Meial's other eye.
"My god Meial would you please cease with that incessant screaming it's driving me even more insane over here my dear." replied Atayla to the good Dr.'s screaming which he just wouldn't let up on. "I know it hurts but enough is enough get over it already no one can hear you so there's really no point in screaming 'til your lungs start to bleed ya know." said Atayla climbing off the Dr.
Atayla grabbed the Dr. by his ankle and proceeded to throw him across the room where he just rolled on the floor like a wounded animal moaning and every so often letting out the occasional guttural sound.
"My my my Dr. I thought that for sure you would have lasted longer than this I'm surprised to say the least but I do think it's about time to give you your death wish." stated Atayla once again dragging the Dr. out of the room by his ankle.
Meial heard something like a shutter door open and then close behind the both of them. Since he no longer had sight to rely on he used his ears to figure out they were in the feeding area.
This was the area of the lab were he put the dead remains of whatever he could get scraps of and feed the ghouls. There was a button on the wall that released the locks on their glass containment chambers and let them move into the feeding area. The Dr. screamed out even louder now knowing what would happen to him.
"Meial stop being so dramatic you're almost dead anyway it's not like it'll hurt much, maybe you'll even like it but than again that depends on your own preferences." answered Atayla to his screams and pleas to be left alone.
"You bitch you'll get eaten too there's no way out of this room except through the ghouls cages and knowing my pets you won't even get the chance to move three steps without getting caught yourself. Hahahahahahahahaha" laughed out the Dr.
"You are stupid Meial I would think that out of everyone here you would have some clue about my abilities and just exactly what the fuck I can do, after all you are the one I have to thank for this existence and for their deaths fool." replied Atayla.
Atayla dropped him in the middle of the room before proceeding to the switch on the wall that open the cages. "Oh and by the way Dr. this room can't hold me in it so I just plan on breaking the whole fucking wall down and than bringing down the partitions to this wing of the main floor retard. I could care less about what the ghouls do to the other fuckers in this place." said Atayla with a wry smile.
On that final note Atayla slammed her fist into the button on the wall. The ghouls poured in jumping on their meal as Atayla broke through the glass viewing window to get back into the lab. "Well having eyes certainly made that much easier." said Atayla with a smirk as the ghouls came through the window after her.
It didn't take long to get the partition down after all she had gotten out of this place before, it couldn't have been that complicated in the first place. As the partition fell closing off the lab indefinitely Atayla uttered "Rest in peace fuckers." leaving it behind her as she moved to the next place and person she had on her mental hit list.
Atayla was waiting on her next check off on her list; Lieal. She could easily tell where he was based on his "occupation" in Heaven. He was one of the people the criminals got sent to get information tortured out of her. In her case the one who had ripped out her wings and than branded her.
So there she was waiting on him in the one place one of those "Elite" angels in the white coats always seemed to show up. In the interrogation rooms. Posed as an awaiting criminal all she had to do was wait.
Atayla could hear the footsteps coming towards the door and then the door itself opened while low and behold in walked just the man she was waiting for.
As she raised her head up to look at him he had already crossed the distance from the door to the crouched form in the corner of the dank solitary room.
She shot up and landed on him while saying all at once "Hello Lieal remember me, 'cause I sure as hell remember you and the way you carved out my eyes and smeared them across the floor of my cell with your boot. Or if you really want to get into details the way you tore my fucking wings right out of my fucking back bitch."
A hand covered the angel's mouth as Atayla bent down to his ear and said "Really now don't bother screaming there's no one to hear you they're all dead I made sure of that babe hahahahahahahahahaha." laughed Atayla as she got to work quickly on Lieal's own slow torture.
Lieal was now left in exactly the same way he had last seen Atayla. With missing eyes, wings, and for good measure Atayla tore out his tongue so he could crawl to the feet of God like the dog he was.
She had decided it was time to go and find the last thing she had managed to leave in Heaven, then she would be on her way to leave and go play with the Hatter until the game between Heaven and Hell started.
Her bare feet made little sound on the polished clean floor as she walked in her own type of trance down the hallways of the underground facility. She was still on a high from the last kill and now her heart was almost beating out of her chest in with the excitement of the hunt and then the awaiting slaughter.
She had decided it was time to get serious and put her sneaking skills into good use as she mad her way into the next are of the facility. After Meial but before going to Lieal she had made a stop to those tricky little angels that loved sitting in front of hazy screens and watching Heaven from their desk.
She made sure that no one interrupted her fun by making sure that there was no one to spoil hers plans to begin with. Of course with one last stop to make it's not like it made a difference to begin with.
As she found herself at the entrance to yet another lab she contemplated the way to do things. 'Well I think I�ve had enough fun for today at least I think so I think I'm done with the slaughter for now.' thought Atayla as she the automatic door opened for her.
The angels inside the storage lab looked up from their work and then proceeded to get that glazed over look in their eyes when they realized what might happen.
"Now I promise not to hurt any one if you promise not scream and run got it good." stated Atayla calmly eyeing everyone in the room slowly. Out of the corner of her eye she saw one go for the gun most higher ranking angels kept on them at all times, just in case this kind of things happened.
"Too slow my friend and too bad too hahahahahaha." laughed Atayla as she appeared behind the angel and grabbed the gun out of his shaking hands. "Too bad I'm a natural with guns babe, sucks for you." continued Atayla with a slow drawl as she spun the gun around her finger with expect ease.
One shot rang out as she blew off the angel's arm. Another blew open part of his leg. Screams and screams rang out too before one last shot. Silence and one hole to the head later lead Atayla to let out another laugh and she then proceeded to look around the room and with a wink said "Having fun yet."
Shocked and scared looks filled their faces. Atayla's gaze fell on a female angel with light pastel pink hair. Short and spiky it almost reminded her of...well that's another story best left in the past with the others who Heaven had killed.
"My dear..." whispered Atayla in the startled girl's ear appearing behind her. "Now you look intelligent enough to help me be a dear and oblige to my wishes or I might have to let my naughty side come out to play. Understand?" asked Atayla.
"...yes" stammered the girl in shock as Atayla lead her to the specimen room at the other end of the lab. "Now everyone be good or I'll blow up some more heads without this gun my little ones." rang out Atayla as she and the pink haired angel entered the refrigerated room.
"Now my dear do find me my wings they should be in that glass display filled with whatever that blue stuff is floating around them. I need you to get them out for me my dear." said Atayla with a little smile.
The angel went to the task at hand with a shake of her head and breezed past Atayla with an air of nervousness surrounding her.
"My my my pray tell what is your name?" asked Atayla leaning up against the wall eyes following the girl.
"Aliael. Please don't harm any more of us we haven't done anything to you we're just doing our job, here it's open you can take them now." said the girl with clear speech but the nervousness seeping into it.
"Ah a pretty name for a pretty face. Has anyone told you that your hair is oh so pretty my dear?" asked Atayla coming up behind the girl nipping on her ear just to amp up the shock factor.
"Ahhh...no I'm afraid not." replied the scared girl backing away from Atayla. Atayla just shrugged and walked over to the now open container and ran a hand over her own preserved wings. 'At least Meial wasn't completely useless.
All Atayla heard was a gun being cocked and then felt it in the back of her head that sweet as honey dripping voice from behind her saying the most clich� thing "Don't move or I'll blow your fucking head off devil."
Atayla smirked before delivering an elbow to the girl's stomach and then a swift knee to the ribs which broke with a sick kind of crack signifying pain for the girl.
"Too bad you have to die you really are a pretty thing but I suppose I can use you after all especially since the Hatter won't be able to do what I want her to. I just use that pretty body of yours to make a new one for that little friend of mine who basterd angels like you killed." came Atayla's response to Aliael's actions in shrill monotonous dialogue.
The angels' reply was a moan from the pain of crushed ribs and shortness of breath. Atayla smirked as she placed a hand on the girls head and turn that stupid brain of hers into a bloody soup with a blast of power. Aliael screamed out in horror as her head started to burn.
Atayla let the girl fall to the floor. Quickly before the remains of her liquefied brain poured out of the hole of her face she took the lab coat she wore and her access pass before it was covered in blood. Grabbing the jacket and throwing it in the corner for a moment she went over to her wings and focused her energy on having them a part of her again.
It hurt for a moment but that was it as they reattached themselves. It would hurt even more later considering she would have to rip one out later and hand it over as prescribed by her own self in an old promise she had made. One thing about Atayla was that she always kept her promises of course even now she had already proved that.
She had gotten her wings back and called them into her body. ' At least their still in their normal form still and haven't changed into what they really should look like, that would hurt like a fucking bitch getting them inside me again.' thought Atayla with a smirk.
Walking into the corner she picked up the thrown jacket and put the access pass into one of the pockets. "Hey Hatter get your ass here I have a present for you." shouted out Atayla to something that obviously wasn't there with her at the moment.
"You rang Savior?" questioned the Hatter appearing up from the pool of blood leaking out of the dead angel's head now taking up space on the floor.
"Hahahahahaha I knew you were watching. Be a doll love and take this body to hell for me keep it nice and preserved to be waiting for me when I get there. I plan to use it to make a body for one of those souls locked in that little world I made up for them." answered Atayla with a smile appearing on her face.
"You knew then I guess." stated the Hatter grin leaving her face. "Of course I knew you wouldn't be of any help to me with that matter, don't fret though I still plan on helping you it's the least I could do for you waking my body up." replied Atayla smiling even wider.
"I see I suppose this is why I like you so much Atayla you can work around anything with that smile of yours and you don't expect anything from others. A favor for a favor, nothing more nothing less, when it comes to you. I would understand it to be that way my dear Atayla." drawled out the Hatter with a peevish look crossing those clown features.
"Of course I never trust the ones that are so much like me. That's why you like me so much, I'm too damn interesting to leave alone. My downfall, my resurrection, my demise, and my joy. I'll get those things out of my head by myself but I help you as well. I do need to find a way to get my rocks off here Hatter. I am a devil now after all." replied Atayla.
"That you are. I'll keep this body for you and Hell will be waiting for you my devil in disguise." retorted Belial.
"Yeah, a 'devil in disguise' that's it all right. Besides Hatter what else would I be doing if it wasn't for you and this drive you've strike in the heart of me. I wouldn't have it any other way. Hell's so much more fun than Heaven anyway it's only fair I go with the funner side and it makes sense as well so everyone is happy except for Heaven of course." explained Atayla.
"I know. I'll be waiting with the rest in Hell Atayla my new found savior." replied the Hatter with a wry smile on her face.
Atayla grabbed her gun off the floor and walked out of the room re-entering the lab. The angels had all crowded around the room and lunged at her as soon as she came out into the room. 'Some greeting.' thought Atayla shooting those with a flick of the gun as soon as they got close enough.
"Oh fuck this bitches let's get this fucking started!" shouted Atayla lunging forward and ditching the gun in favor of tearing the basterds apart with her hands.
A hand went through someone's throat like it had with Hatter's earlier except this time it didn't heal. A fist connected with a jaw and the sweet sound of it cracking made Atayla smile. Her leg came around to get caught on a wing. Kicking off she flung her body onto an angel's back and tore off one of his wings with savage force. Blood was staining the white coat Atayla had just stolen off of Aliael was wearing only minutes before.
Her foot swung out and the force threw someone into a wall off to the right of her. Soon the sea of angels charging her came to an abrupt few that tried to run and hide behind desks and the like.
A futile attempt left Atayla longing to see more blood pooling on the floor. Atayla picked up one of the hiding angels that had attacked her and placed a hand on their mouth then pulling successfully ripping off the jaw and then waving it in their face with a little laugh.
Picking her gun up off the floor and leaving a bullet in the angel's neck she disposed of the other ones in the room before walking over to one of the angels who had not partaken in the other�s fruitless activities of attacking her.
"Can I have that coat you wearing?" asked Atayla bending down to the angels leaving with a sincere smile.
The angel stunned shook her head and handed her the jacket without question. Atayla stripped off the bloody one and pulled out the access card before pulling on the clean and crisp one. Smiling down at the angel she said "Thank you very much I really appreciate it." without a second look back Atayla hopped over the remains of the stupid angels and left the room.
Making her way out of Heaven was going quite well for the time being; at least that's what Atayla was thinking at the present moment. "Well now this is getting way too boring for my tastes." spoke Atayla out loud as she sauntered down the corridor coming up on the door that she wanted.
Taking out the access pass key card she slid the piece of plastic through the scanner with a little twirl and sashay giving the action some flavor. The door slid open to reveal a teleporting device. "That was way too fucking easy I was hoping for an alarm or maybe a few angels to pop up and say boo, damn it I really hope some interesting things happen in Hell." huffed Atayla moving over to the teleporter bringing up the menu for it.
Of course knowing her luck the damn thing had to have a password. 'Damn I wish Chaelly was here then I could just hack it that much fucking quicker, looks like it's the slow way for me.' thought Atayla with a sigh that she would actually have to waste time on this crap.
"Alright let�s see what was the default code again? Oh yeah it should still be the same. Crap! Oh shit muffins you fucking bitch work damn it I'm asking nicely here! Hahahaha shove that up your cheery picking ass you fuck nut machine hahaha �

ur mom I just beat your dumb ass take that dumb ass thingy porter! Oh fuck me sideways muffin man damn you asshat why did you do that don't you love mama okay now be good and do what you're told you stupid machine!" shouted Atayla as the machine refused to work no matter how many codes she put in.
"Oh fuck me sideways asshat now I have to do this the old fashioned way." sighed Atayla using a trick Chaelly took her that took less time but more guesswork. Surprisingly it worked and with a few beeps the menu came up with new options one of them being the lower level of Gehenna.
"I guess I'll have to settle for that, it's alright though considering the Evils don't use that layer of Gehenna for their kingdom. Damn it still's a bitch though now that Hatter ain't getting me back." replied Atayla to her own comment.
"Time to go" yelp Atayla with happiness that she would finally be getting out of Heaven in her own body for the first time in fuck knows how long.
"Maybe not Atayla." came a voice from behind her.
"Damn! Who the fuck are you dare pray tell?" asked Atayla in anger now.
"A messenger fr...-" was what Iage managed to get out before being cut off by Atayla.
"From Einthe I know, you reek of him. What would an old god like him want with me?" asked Atayla getting frustrated with the way the conversation was going.
"..." was the only reply she managed to get out Iage.
"Oh I see he wants to involve himself with my affairs. My power is a rival to his I bet now that I'm out and guilty by association from my new pact with Hell. I bet he favors calling me a god now too right? Like it matters he's nothing more than a self righteous twit from what I remember of him. This whole thing id his fucking fault, he's the one that created that toy YHWH while he took a nap and laughed in his sleep at our plight." Shouted Atayla at Iage.
"Don't speak that way of my Master, fool." was the response Atayla received from Iage whose body was still acting on its own refusing to move from the spot he was at despite him urging it to run.
"Ah so there are dogs like you still loyal to him. I see he has slaves like you, puppets whose minds have been distorted by that light of his. I can tell right now your body refuses to do what you want it to, isn't that a pity." laughed Atayla at Iage.
"Your point?" asked the controlled angel.
"Hmmmmm I guess I don't have one, but then since I've got better things to do than chat with a plaything like you I'm leaving..." Atayla trailed off.
"Well then Atayla warm regards I hope to be seeing you soon my child." replied the voice of Einthe coming through Iage's body.
Atayla moved just in time out of the way of flying chunks of flesh as Iage's body exploded under the command of Iage's mind.
"Retarded." sighed Atayla as she hit the button on the transporter and felt her body move through the dimension distortion separating Heaven, Earth, Gehenna, and of course Hell.
Sheol (Hell, lowest level)
Belial made her way over to the crippled form by Lucifer's throne. It was a blessing the lord of Hell wasn't there at the present to see the savior after all Belial had forgotten to mention the idea of it to her lord so yeah it probably wouldn�t have gone over to well.
"So you managed to get here safely." smirked the Hatter. "Yeah you could say that but I think that the basterd up there sent me here instead of that stupid teleporter thing. Damn that thing is really rough, even for me it was a bitch of a thing to go through." replied Atayla.
"Here put this on." said Belial handed Atayla one of her black coats and a masquerade mask to where so if any other Satan's came along they wouldn't be too aware of the Hatter's plans.
"I never knew you were into role-playing sweetie, but hey if that's what you're into it could be fun." replied Atayla jokingly to the Hatter's actions.
"You shouldn't taunt me like that Atayla. I can barely control myself around someone so much like myself as is." stated Belial watching as Atayla put the cloak and the mask on.
"I just couldn't resist darling Madhatter." said Atayla sarcastically.
"Time for the tour my dear, let's be on our way before that angel blood on you attracts all the demons in Hell to us." said the Hatter moving away from the dais where Lucifer's throne was.
"Yes. Let's be on our way and get this over with so I can rest a bit before I find myself too tired to get done what I have to get done." replied Atayla moving swiftly to keep up with the Hatter's pace.
They made their way to the very center of Hell where the seven doors to the seven layers where located. Doors with the words Avarice, Gluttony, Envy, Wrath, Lust, Sloth, and Pride on them. The one marked Wrath was covered in decay and locks covered the door as if to say "Yeah come at me I dare you retard." at whoever was stupid enough to go inside.
"Let's start with a little visit to Mammon, let's be on my way my dear." said Belial opening the door marked Avarice holding it open letting Atayla lead the way through.
Looking through the door one could see nothing but on the other hand if you were stupid enough to go through any one of the doors another world would reveal itself.
"The

Golden Court" was where Atayla and the Hatter suddenly found themselves. A lavish palace where everything glimmered and glinted from everything being gilded in gold. "Well now there's nothing greedy here at all." huffed Atayla sarcastically.
Belial merely shrugged as the two walked down the hallway through golden arches and intricate patterns that ran anywhere from the length of the tiles on the floor to the gold ceiling above there heads.
Belial led Atayla through a pair of wide open doors into what looked to be a throne room. Lavish as it was Atayla could only think one thing about it; tacky.
As the two continued deeper into the room Atayla looked up when she heard the sound of signing. There were songbirds everywhere. In the air, walking along the ground ,everywhere. Their nests littered the arches as they ate fruit that hung from the ceiling. The stench of the juice that dripped from the fruit onto the floor was unbearably sweet even for the Hatter's tastes.
"MADHATTER WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE AND WHO IS THIS?" came a voice from above them.
High up on one of the arches was a huge bird that was anything but lovely. Demonic and reeking of something that resembled foul meat hung around it. It sat there watching them in a giant gold nest that was probably the center piece of the whole tacky palace.
"That's a really ugly fucking bird Hatter." replied Atayla dryly looking around for something to strike her interest, preferably something that wasn't gold.
"WHAT! HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE GREAT MAMMON; COUNT OF THE

GOLDEN COURT. YOU MISERABLE WRETCH. I'LL EAT YOU ALIVE FOOL!" cackled the huge bird in the nest.
"Now now, Mammon that's no way to talk to my guest and our new ally." shouted the Hatter back at the retarded looking bird who was covered in gold just like the rest of this place.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY HATTER!" screamed out the raucous bird now angered.
"I here to help you retard now shut your fucking mouth you're pissing me off and givin' me a headache!" yelled Atayla at the overgrown buzzard.
"DOES HE WHO SPEAKS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM? I WILL CRUSH YOUR BONES BENEATH MY CLAWS YOU WORM HOW DARE YOU COME HERE AND TRY TO COMMAND ME FOOLISH LITTLE FRAGILE WEAKLING!" rang out Mammon's voice across the palace scaring the birds away in a clutter of wings and a rainfall of feathers.
"Who did you call a weakling?" asked a voice from behind Mammon as he went flying out of the nest and into the gilded wall; cracking it in the process.
Atayla had sent the stupid bird flying with the force of a mere kick and laughed as the feathers were stirred up from the wind of mammon's wings as he went straight into the wall leaving a crack to run through the whole thing.
"SO THIS LITTLE THING IS STRONG THIS DOES NOT CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT YOU BEING A FOOL, BUT I MUST SAY HATTER YOU'VE CHOSEN WELL WITH THIS STUPID ONE!" laughed out the cocky bird.
"You're lucky I'm not in the mood for fried wings today little birdie, next time try not to piss me off so much because I won't be as nice. Show me some respect since I outrank you now and you won't find yourself in a birdcage in my room birdie." replied Atayla walking back the way she and Belial had come.
"That is our new savoir Mammon do try to behave otherwise I might not be there to quell her anger, just a tip from one Satan to the next." said the Hatter walking away after Atayla.
A loud cawing was heard behind the two women as they left the bird to bleed on the floor of his tacky palace. Atayla smirked knowing that he would be pissed when he saw the giant crack in his priceless palace wall, that's what kept her laughing all the way to the next stop on the Hatter's tour.
The next stop was even worse than the last. Atayla could deal with the stench of rotting fruit and bird shit but this was a new low in the food chain when it came right down to it.
Her and Belial had went through the door marked Gluttony and now with a feeling of nausea coming over her Atayla wished they hadn't. This was the

kingdom of
Beelzebub; Lord of Flies.
The wall around them pulsated like they were alive and looked like rotting flesh, they smelled like it too. The two moved through the passageway as quickly as they could only to find themselves in front of a pit of dead demon remains.
Flies swarmed around it eating away at the flesh and only served to add a hum to the environment around Atayla and the Madhatter. This certainly wasn't the nicest place to be that was for sure.
"Lovely isn't it." stated Atayla nimbly jumping over the reeking pit of bloody rotten remains leaving the flies to their work. The Hatter followed over the pit too and they walked on.
This kingdom, if that's what you would call it, was nothing but a garbage pit where all the things in hell were dumped as long as they were dead, bloody, and smelling of rot. There were no doors just long corridors to walk down and find something else that just made you want to say ewww.
"I think we've just found Beelzebub." said the Hatter walking up to a giant form not far in front of them crouched over something that smelled and looked like death warmed over.
The thing that the Lord of Flies was so taken with was the carcass of a rather large demon that would have feed all the flies here for as long as they could ever want to live. Beelzebub heard the Hatter and turned to her and Atayla with flesh hanging out of whatever that thing was he was eating with.
The Lord of Flies just stared at the Hatter and Atayla with those hundreds of tiny eyes until he gave up and just went back to his rancid meal. "Beelzebub this is our new asset so don't be foolish and try to do something stupid like eat her because she'll kill you and that's a mess I don't want to have to clean up understand?" asked Belial with a smirk on her face as she looked over at Atayla.
The Satan of Gluttony let out some unintelligible garbled buzz and went back to eating again. "Well that was understandable." remarked Atayla turning to Hatter with a look on her face that said what the fuck. "He said to leave and not to come here again. He won't bother you and you won't bother him. Or something like that." replied the Hatter clearing up the confusion.
The two left that place as fast as they could. Half due to the smell and the other half do to Beelzebub's renowned temper when he was eating.
Leviathan was the next on Hatter's list of people to see. They walked through the door and were now in what appeared to be a flooded castle. The water rose high in some places, but for now it was only knee deep.
The dankness of the place hung over them like a blanket of dread or maybe of the mold that coated the gray stone walls of this place. It must have been lovely once but now it was a place were creatures slept and lingered in the deepest depths of the water.
The cobblestone floors and grey stoned walls made it appear to Atayla like that place where she had left those others who had served her well throughout the time where she lingered in Heaven. Now they were the same as before but unable to be fully alive. It pained Atayla to remember the place where they were now.
Of course they were happy and that was all she needed to know for now. That didn't change the fact that she wanted them out of that place though. She had seen what could happen with a place like Shukra. It was another realm where dreams and illusion were master and people its slaves.
It was so peaceful here with its massive height and even higher ceilings it made for the perfect fortress and playground for its resident the Sea Dragon King Leviathan.
Pieces of floating furniture were everywhere and the silence lingered in every spot. Once and awhile Atayla or Belial would catch a glimpse of a tail or scales from the corner of their eye in the deep areas of the rooms they traveled through. Rooms upon rooms of sunken memories.
Atayla knew from the moment they had stepped through the first door of any Satan�s realm that these places weren't made for them their lord, Lucifer, had stolen them from those who had once dwelt here.
These stolen realms were worlds of their own. Immune from Heaven and Hell and Assiah's pull. There were countless realms all around. The reason Heaven didn't worry about them was that they didn't care about it or Assiah or Hell they were self sufficient and totally free.
Some of these places were just memories brought to live by the regret and solitude of a lonely mind. Still it was sad to find a beautiful place like this destroyed by time and what was worse was this was the way Lucifer had probably found it, it wasn't just made to be this way and destroyed for the mere sake to become a swimming pool for one of Hell's generals, it was like this from the beginning.
Atayla winced as those memories came into her mind like a deluge trying to drown her in their sorrow. That place and that solitude, It wasn't Heaven, Assiah, or even hell this place could be found in it was just off in Shukra her own little world but when had it become the way it did and why it made itself when she had come to Shukra that first time.
Past lives were a bitch and with so many different realms reincarnation in a different one was almost guaranteed and memories were certain to come with the package as well. It was something Atayla had tried to remember but there's a reason rebirth is guaranteed to everyone, so they can repeat the mistakes they made once again and again until forever ended.
Still the silence between the Hatter and Atayla was thick. There was no need for word. The slosh of water was enough for the both of them to understand that this was not a time to talk. They both had other things preoccupying their minds at the present.
As flash of scales from behind them sent a wave of water at them. They both ended up soaked and pissed off at leviathan for playing games. "He's certainly happy to have visitors." said Atayla with a smile, a sincere one this time. "Usually he does not leave this place, if he does he goes to Assiah, Earth, to play with humans minds as he swims in their oceans eluding them time after time." replied Belial.
"He mourns his own sad fate; he is alone and cares about nothing and no one. He enjoys it better this way, alone here with his thoughts is where he wants to stay." mused Atayla having a feeling wash over her as she realized she had done the same too at some point. She had abandoned everything to stay in that place forever until...well it didn't matter, besides Atayla couldn't remember anything else about that place besides the fact that maybe she didn't ever leave it until she had made her choice...
"He's playful today knowing that someone who understands what it is like to want the same thing as himself has come to visit." sighed Atayla. "Yes I can tell you've been like this too before." answered Belial.
"Reincarnation is a fluke I can remember everything about what happened before I was an angel and before I was a devil too, I remember but it was so long ago my mind wanders so much the memories disappear at times. It comes and goes I would think you could understand." replied Atayla.
"I don't but I'll say I will since after all I could really care less about anyone but myself." answered Belial stopping as she saw a familiar glimpse of sapphire scales.
"Hmmmmm I suppose no one really cares for anyone but themselves we confuse caring and love for manipulation and pettiness. That does seem to help us all cope with the things we have done more quickly than if we try to actually understand why we made the mistake in the first place." sighed Atayla.
Another wave of water came at the two and this time the furniture came with it. Atayla felt the thing splinter as it came into contact with her body and despite the cloak Belial had given her a large piece went straight into her arm lodging itself there. "That wasn't very nice now was It." stated Belial moving over to Atayla.
Atayla pulled the large piece of sharp wood out of her arm and pooled started to leek from the wound. The wound was deep and would take awhile to heal even for her. Belial watched as the blood dripped into the water and then dispersed throughout it.
"Let's go I have an insatiable interest in Leviathan now that he's had the chance to try my patience and not manage to piss me off. I'm quite impressed with how much fun he is." stated Atayla moving forward.
Belial just smirked and said "Really I always found him to be quite boring, but then again he doesn't really like me too much I think so I wouldn't care either way since I don't feel like trying to make an effort with something like him."
"Hmmm." was all Atayla said as she walked ahead of Hatter.
After awhile and a couple more times of getting splashed with water by an all too familiar tail it occurs to Atayla that Leviathan was leading them to him. It appeared he was just as interested in Atayla as she had become in him.
Of course Atayla wasn't too happy to be continuously splashed with stagnant dirty water, but than again beggars can't be chooser right.
After a time the both of them realized that the water had become deeper but the pieces of floating furniture and massive statues served as large stepping stones as Atayla and Belial continued their search for the Sea Dragon King.
Atayla looked down in the water and saw the tail of Leviathan she carefully followed it like a trail of breadcrumbs as she leapt from pillar to pillar, statue to statue.
It seemed to get darker as they made their way into an area where the water had reached a level that almost reached them even with them standing on the pillars and statues that reached almost as high as the ceiling.
It didn't take long for them too get to a point where they could get across the room by jumping. They had to swim. "Care for a dip my lovely Belial?' questioned Atayla knowing what the answer would be even without a response.
"No I fear it will make my paint run." replied the Hatter running a hand over her own cheek. "Very well do wait for me Hatter I might get angry if you leave me here all by my lonesome." smirked Atayla diving under the water making sure to take off her cloak and leave her mask behind so she could see in the dark waters.
The Hatter let a smirk pass lips as well and produced a pair of playing cards form somewhere inside her outrageously large hat and sat down preparing to wait for Atayla.
Atayla swam fast and saw light up ahead she went towards it. Underwater the castle itself, sunken and all, was still beautiful. She felt pain in her head as things came back and she felt something drag her down into the water. The heaviness of her eyelids made her want to close her eyes.
She did and sank to the bottom. Nothing had even touched her she merely sank. Atayla was hurting everywhere and her head felt like she had decided to run into a stone wall head first and done it again for kicks.
She let out a watery moan and rested there on the bottom of the watery castle. Technically she really didn't have to breathe since after all it wasn't like it mattered, with what Einthe and the others made her she could stay under this fake sea forever and remain alive. That's just the way it was.
It was quiet and the solitude was wonderful. A moment like this hadn't come along in a very long time for Atayla. Only in that place deep within Shukra was she able to truly be alone and every moment of it had been wonderful. Like being drenched in silence and at peace was like it was down here.
Something rubbed against her foot and Atayla's eyes shot open seeing sapphire scales shimmering against the darkest of the fake sea around her. It wrapped around her ankle and jolted her out of that content state she had been able to reach. Yanked through the water at a speed even she couldn't reach.
'Shit!' was all that Atayla could think at the moment about the situation at hand. The dragging stopped and Atayla watched as the tail went up and away as if to say follow me. She did.
Swimming forward after the blue scales she found that the surface was right above her. She swam up and saw Leviathan in all his glory right there waiting for her.
This must have been the center of the castle. It was immense with glittering jewels and cravings in the walls. Ornate patterns decorated every surface. Leviathan sat on a giant dais in the center on the great hall as it could only be described.
Leviathan himself was as ornate as the room. Striking black eyes with glowing blue pupils. Raised patterns decorated the Sea Dragon everywhere. Designs that were just designs without meaning. They played tricks on the eyes and seemed to move with his body in a dazzling way. They sapphire and cerulean scales mixed perfectly and played with the light glittering with every breath and every slight movement.
"You shouldn't do things like wait on my sea floor like that, I had thought you dies for a moment. Then again someone like you would have to go through a lot more than that to die." rumbled Leviathan in a gentle voice that was as dazzling as his body and this palace he remained in.
"Of course I am quite different most anyone or anything that you will ever meet in your immortal life Leviathan. I'm glad you have let me see you I am humbled." replied Atayla with all sincerity.
"That's only because of the fact that you are intrigued by me Atayla." said the Dragon King.
"That's the way thing work with me but consider it a good thing." answered Atayla with a wry smile.
"I think of it as an honor Atayla." replied Leviathan.
"You should show me your real form then my friend you have nothing to think of it even if I like this form better." said Atayla giving him a glance that was as sincere as her soft tone.
"Ah so you noticed that I have another form. That's very perceptive even the Lord Lucifer hadn't noticed until I decided to show him what my true form is." stated Leviathan as his Dragon body changed into that of an angel.
A youthful body of a young man. With sharp features, pale skin, sapphire hair, and a face plus body that would probably drive any woman crazy if it was used that right way.
"I must say both forms do you justice." replied Atayla coming closer to Leviathan to look over him.
Loose garments that matched the colored of the depths of the water and that hair though short hung over those dark eyes with haunting depth, were all possessed by this Dragon and angel that stood before her now.
"Thank you I do like both though my other suits me as well as this one I haven't decided which I personally prefer." sighed the angel.
"I suppose I don't have to tell someone with a mind like your what I'm doing here do I?" asked Atayla
"No. Do what you want, don't get caught up in this though you're not a part of this place or of us. Don't fall the Hatter's games." answered Leviathan.
"I didn't plan on it, I assure you though I play games a lot better than the sweet Belial. Of course I win at them too so I know how to handle this." said Atayla back.
"Good. I suppose maybe one of Hatter's ideas I can understand and agree with on some level. Do come back again I enjoy talking to someone who knows what this is like." replied Leviathan.
"Out of everyone you're sure to be my favorite and know what it's like to be in solitude. It's better that way I do miss it. Maybe after this is over I'll go back to it until I get bored and go through a cycle of events and mistakes like this all over again." said Atayla.
"Everything is a cycle of failure in the end solitude is all that can be expected to come out of that failure." mused Leviathan with another sigh.
"I will be back of that I can assure you. Now I must ask that you bring me back to out dear Belial. We have an agenda to keep on track with my dear." stated Atayla.
"Of course come whenever you like I will always talk with you, just I have to ask that you don't bring any others. They irritate me to a point where I can't control myself. I apologize for your arm I meant to hit Belial not you." answered Leviathan with a smile.
"It's understandable in all respects. I believe that it is time to leave and go get Belial to finish this unnecessary tour she has insisted on." replied Atayla with a smile of her own.
"Well then let's not disappoint." was Leviathan's answer.
As Belial and Atayla returned to the circular room where all the 7 gateways to the Satans were located Atayla couldn't help but let her gaze slip to the door with the locks and rot covering it. "Well now I suppose perhaps a casualty of war?" guessed Atayla at the outcome of the Satan who governed Wrath.
"You could call it that if you want, I'd say it was more of a casualty of stupidity but then again what would a jester like me know?" replied Belial questioning Atayla right back.
"Well now that's something I'll just have to fix now isn't it." stated Atayla without so much as a look or a sneer at the Hatter.
"And by this you mean what exactly?" asked Belial.
"My dear Hatter I'm a lot of things and fair is one of them. If this is to be a fair war than all sides must be equal in strengths and weaknesses. I'm sure you realize by now that I have a score to settle for what they have done to me. Of course my hate for YHWH is noticeable, I plan on undoing the damage that silly toy had done while I was asleep." replied Atayla giving Hatter a look that was sure to make any normal person squirm.
"Don't do something that might make me want to kill you Atayla." was all the Hatter could say to her upon hearing these words that hinted at Atayla ulterior motives for this stupid war between Heaven and Hell.
"I'll do what I please Belial we both know you can't do a thing to me after all you seem to forget that it wasn't just what Heaven did to me that made me this way, I was fucked up and defective from the start of all this. I apologize if it's too complex for you to understand but I will do what I want and that means that if I can win Hell this fool's war I damn well am going to make it fun for me." sneered Atayla at Belial.
"Sounds amusing just be sure not to make this war boring or I might lose interest in you Atayla." sneered the Hatter right back at Atayla.
"Hahaha you're quite fun yourself Belial if I liked girls I would love to play with you, too bad that I don't sway that way." laughed Atayla walking towards the door that had Lust written above it.
Atayla had not waited for the Hatter to come through the door before walking on by herself. Atayla had made sure to put on her cloak and mask before leaving Leviathan's realm and now she couldn't help but wish she didn't. She smelled horrible it felt like the air around her was covering her in a layer of smog, rot, decay, mold, and rancid parts of whatever Beelzebub was eating before.
The air was chocking her here for another reason in particular. Flowers and plants of sweet smells where littered everywhere as she looked around the garden she had appeared in. Belial quickly appeared behind her and whispered in Atayla's ear "Asmodeus has always loved being decadent and wickedly tasteful everywhere you find him."
"Lovely there's even a Satan who's more than a tad bit fruity, I can't help but love it. Maybe if I�m nice he'll even give me a bath." replied Atayla with a smirk.
"He'll give you a lot more than a bath my dear you should watch out he has a thing for pretty little pets of womanly things." stated the Hatter with a hushed voice.
They walked out of the suffocating garden to find themselves in an area of what looked like an aristocrat's yard. Complete with a table for tea with what looked like brunch sitting on it, a croquet set already set up and ready for a match, and probably the most extraordinary feature was the large manor to their left.
Oh and then there were the woman everywhere. Among the most noticeable features of the woman was they all had collars on them. It would appear their master didn't like them to wander off. Atayla spotted out of the corner of her eye nymphs hanging about in the branches above her head.
There was also something with wings sitting beneath the shade. "What a surprise this is my sweet Madhatter." rang out the voice of a man behind them. 'Well at least he looks more normal than the others I've seen so far.' thought Atayla sarcastically.
The both of them also did not fail to notice the nymph hanging on his arm planting kisses on his face and pulling at his dandyish clothes before he knocked her hands away and sent her away causing the nymph to frown and run quickly into the garden to sulk at her misfortune.
"I came to introduce my guest to you as well as all the other Satans." replied Belial with a look of distaste on her face.
"I never knew our savior would have such a lovely body." remarked Asmodeus.
"You're good I have to admit Mr. Lust, but it's no surprise you could tell I was a woman under this cloak I'm sure you've worked your way around one or more woman in your day old man." retorted Atayla as he looked her over.
"Old man. Well thanks. You're feisty I like you maybe I should chain you up in my basement and have some fun with you until I wear you out." answered Asmodeus getting angered.
Atayla could feel one of those stupid nymphs from up in the tree grab her and try to drag her away for god knew what purpose this perverted geezer wanted of her.
"Fucking retard. Maybe I should maim all of your little pets around here. I think I should rip this one's wings off for thinking she could catch

Me." rang Atayla's voice from up in the tree as Asmodeus and Belial looked up Atayla flung the stupid nymph at them. She also threw done the wings she had ripped off the creature in pieces.
"Try that again pervert I fucking dare you." taunted Atayla.
"I can't say I liked that one too much anyway." replied Asmodeus.
"Whatever from now I'm gonna call you Asmo got it good, I'm getting sick of having to say Asmodeus every time I insult you so that's just the way it is." came Atayla's remark to Asmo as she jumped down from the tree.
"Don't try to fuck with me or you'll end up like your nymph gramps got it?" asked Atayla.
"Yeah I got it." replied Asmo walking away from the two ladies. Of course being Asmo he couldn't help but cop a feel at Atayla's ass which earned him a kick that sent him flying into one of him nymphs.
"Damn, Hatter I like this one she's a keeper for sure. Were going to defiantly win the war now with this lovely lady on our side." aid Asmo grabbing his ribs in pain from the force of Atayla's kick.
"Of course I'm the one that picked her." replied The Hatter.
"Actually I picked you but go ahead say what you want it makes life more interesting for

Me." corrected Atayla.
"Ah well I have to go take of this internal bleeding if you would excuse me ladies. It was a pleasure to meet you Savior and as always my love I hope to see you soon Belial. Oh and by the way if that's the way you kick I can guarantee you're a wild one in the bedroom, trust me on that." remarked Asmo hobbling away towards the direction of the manor.
"Like I didn't know that already you pervert of an old man!" shouted Atayla at his retreating form.
"I AM NOT A PERVERTED OLD MAN!" screamed Asmo back at Atayla.
"That's what they all say." replied Atayla under her breath. Atayla heard a snort come from Hatter who was at her side.
There was one last stop on the tour besides the Hatter's own realm and what was left was where they were going now to pay a visit to the one who lived through the door marked Sloth.
The two entered and with one look at their surroundings were awed by the massive labyrinth they had stumbled upon. Walls of stone matched the floors and added an air of simplicity that after awhile of walking through would have made someone insane at the lack of well anything to spark imagination.
Doors, corridors and traps lines the floors and walls as one walked through the ever expanding maze. Anyone foolish enough to walk through here would die before finding their out again. Doors upon doors of nameless possibility crept up on Belial and Atayla as one followed the other, so as to prevent getting lost in the maze.
The guardian Astaroth need not ever even monitor those still wandering in the maze that had been a product of his own mind and distorted fantasies of the pain and suffering of others. He need not watch for it didn't matter who was in it no one besides those who were of the Seven Satans could navigate their way through the giant never ending prison.
Atayla was getting bored at the repetitiveness of her surroundings and sighed out of lack of interest for the situation. The Hatter merely walked on turning occasionally and even more rarely going through a door.
"I would guess you would know your way around a maze quite well Belial." stated Atayla as they turned down a hallway.
"Not really I'm just guessing." replied The Hatter with a smirk appearing on those clown features.
"Oh funny I'm in stitches over here stop with the jokes or I might piss myself from the laughter." groaned out Atayla sarcastically.
"Not on the floor dear. I thought you where house trained, this job of mine just gets better and better." mumbled the Hatter loud enough for Atayla to hear.
"Don't tease me like that Belial, besides I would think I would make a wonderful puppy." retorted Atayla the smirk still present.
"Maybe that's because you would look lovely in a collar and matching lease." stated Belial starting to laugh at her own joke.
"Oh so you are into S&M Belial, well now this could be fun for the both of us." joked Atayla sarcastically.
"You should stop being so suggestive Atayla or I might have to come over there and spank you." replied Belial.
"Why couldn't you have been a man Belial? If you were we could have a lot of fun together." sighed Atayla musing a little on the subject.
Belial just chuckled at the comment and continued walking. After walking a little while longer the two of them appeared at a rather odd door. With ornate carvings and the stench of fresh blood from behind it, it was definitely something to behold and spark Atayla's interest.
"Just stay quiet." was what the Hatter said to Atayla before opening the door and ushering themselves inside. Behind the door there was quite a sight to see. A torture chamber with almost every device none to man, angel, and devil in the room.
The two of them were standing in the back of the room with the back of a gilded chair facing them. Next to the chair-like throne was a baptismal fount of blood. The occupant of the chair had a hand dipped deep into the fount and the said person hadn't even taken notice of their presence.
"I want to it scream." rang out the sultry intoxicating voice from the inhabitant of the chair. It was obvious that the undeniably male voice wasn't talking to Atayla or Belial but to a demon on the other side of the room.
The demon stood in a cloak and executioner's mask garbed in funeral attire. Beside the creature was what appeared to Atayla to be the rack with a male angel strapped down and stripped of garments on it.
The little demon turned the crank slowly until a pop and then a scream following it filled the room. The angel's shoulders were being dislocated as the rack stretched him to the brink of tearing the skin.
The whole room made Atayla want to drool. It was wonderful and so lovely to see an angel get what all their kind deserved in the end. The Hatter moved away from Atayla's side as Atayla just stood transfixed at the sight. The angel's eyes opened and stared blankly at her as if to say help me and Atayla just sneered at the silly creature.
"More blood." replied the voice in the chair as if in response to the screams of the angel. The executioner nodded and unchained the angel from the table and dragged him off waiting for the next command from the figure in the chair.
"Now what to do. So many things to pick from and I just can't decide, what would you think Belial since I know you're standing right there with one of your toys watching me." came that liquidly sultry voice again.
"Hmmmmm perhaps Strappado would do nicely since the skin's about to rip off the angel soon enough." came Belial's response.
"Well then let's see." replied the voice.
The executioner moved with a finesse that could only be achieved after a long time of doing what he did now. He dragged the body and hung the angel's wrists to a bar securing them there with chains behind the angel's back. An imp in the corner pulled a pulley that sent the bar up in the air taking the angel with it.
With the angel elevated the executioner secured weights to the angel's legs. Slowly the little imp pulled on the pulley until the angel was up about 20 feet of the ground. Then the imp let go. The weights pulled the angel down faster than they should have, savagely the imp grabbed at the rope causing the pulley to jerked to a violent halt causing the weights to dislocated the angels hips, knees, and ankles.
The angel howled in pain as the person in the chair let out a sensual rumbling chuckle. "Again." came the voice from the chair as the angel begged for his life and that he was in pain. The imp pulled on the rope again and repeated the method this time the only this hold the limbs together was skin, on the way down the skin strained but could not take the force of the weights pulling the limbs.
With a sickening rip feet, knees, and legs were separated form the torso. As the blood spilled forth Atayla watched another ugly little imp run with a large bowl to the streaming blood that was pooling on the floor. Once the bowl was full the little ugly thing ran to the fount at his master's side and poured the warm blood in.
The master let out a sigh and once again sank his hand into the fount full of warm blood and swirled it around. The Hatter who had been on the other side of the chair looked backed at Atayla and smirked at the look of intoxication in Atayla's eyes. Despite the cloak and the mask Hatter could tell that Atayla found it hard to control her emotions at the moment.
Always one for wars and blood Atayla wanted to sink to her knees and lay in the blood letting it increase her senses, this of course wasn't the time for that so she contained those emotions. Whoever the person in the chair was Atayla liked them already and their sadistic tendencies.
The Hatter walked over to the rack and sat down upon it and said "Astaroth have you heard the news of what I have been planning lately?"
"I could care less about the things you do Hatter." replied the voice harshly.
"Oh testy testy today aren't we. Don't be so angry it was only a question. I would have expected you to know by now especially since Asmodeus has been paying you visits ever since Astarte isn't well...I'm sure you realize what I mean." stated the Hatter with a smirk.
"HOW DARE YOU SPEAK THAT NAME TO ME!" came the shouting of the figure in the chair who in their rage had almost thrown the fountain of blood at Belial.
"Oh yes I forgot you have a temper every time I decide to mention that around you. Though it doesn't matter now. Do tell me what has become of the lovely gifts they had sent you." replied the Hatter.
"I melted down Mammon�s and used it to encase the one Asmodeus sent me so that way I could scald it and use it as a statue after the gold cooled." answered Astaroth with a smirk on his lips.
"You've always been the cruel and unusual one Astaroth." said Belial.
"That's your title Belial, not mine." retorted Astaroth getting that sadistic glow in his eyes again.
"Of course how silly of

me." stated Belial tilting her hat in respect in the direction of Astaroth.
Atayla watched as Astaroth's hand came up out of the blood and settled on the arm of the chair. The elbow rested on the arm rest so Astaroth could watch the blood trail down his arm. It socked into the loose shirt he was wearing and stained the sleeve as the red droplets rolled further down.
"Do tell me Hatter who is this pet of yours who has not said a word this whole time?" questioned Astaroth as transfixed with the blood as she was.
"They are a guest of Hell's and our trump card for this war, I thought even someone who holes themselves up here with no contact to the outside world would know that." replied the Hatter with a peevish look appearing on her face.
"I care not for the things you fools do on the outside It matters nothing to me. This pet of yours is quite irritating it won't stop staring at Me." stated Astaroth not bothering to take his eyes off the rolling drops of blood.
"What can I say she has a penchant for blood, I'm sure you two would get along very nicely." replied the Hatter looking over at Atayla.
The feeling was overwhelming her to the point where she was going crazy not being able to touch that warm blood and taste it on her tongue. Astaroth dipped his hand in once more this time letting the blood collect in his hand and relishing it so it ran in tiny rivers down the length of his arm.
Atayla couldn't control it anymore she came forward and grabbed Astaroth's arm. A set of long black lacquered nails dug into his wrist cutting it so that the blood in his veins mixed with that of the angel. Her mouth went down towards the blood and lapped at it with her tongue.
For a moment Astaroth stopped. He didn't breathe, or move, or think. Then suddenly anger exploded at the insolence of the damned thing as it licked the blood of his arm like a cat.
That small pink tongue sucked at the skin. The feel was arousing in a sick twisted way. Atayla was getting such a high off of this at the moment she could care less about anything going on around her. Angel's blood on her tongue clouded her mind from everything else whether it mattered or not.
Astaroth regained his senses and threw the obviously female figure across the room. Atayla now thoroughly pissed off at what he had just done to ruin her moment overturned the fount of blood and threw it in his direction. The blood spilled out and landed on the fallen angel. It covered him in the warm, red, sticky substance.
The fountain hit the floor and shattered. Atayla had landed across the room upright and on her feet as if nothing had ever happened. The image of Astaroth burned into her mind as she set her eyes for the first time on the Satan who governed Sloth. Atayla had to admit he was almost as lovely as her with his auburn hair and loose garment he fit the image of a sexual kind of evil to the tee.
Covered in blood made Atayla want to lick it off that perfect body of his in a perverse sexual kind of way that sent shivers down her spine at the thought. 'It's been way too long since I have a chance to play around I need to get rid of all this sexual frustration or I might go fucking crazy.' thought Atayla to herself silently.
Astaroth just stood there in awe of how fast this woman moved. The fact that she was as agile as what she just displayed made her dangerous in a way that made him uneasy of what could happen if she ended up on Heaven's side. It also made him eager to see what was on the other side of that mask and cloak.
Slowly Atayla walked over to Belial never taking her eyes off of Astaroth. "Let's go I'm done with your silly tour Belial I have no interest in walking around like this any longer." hissed Atayla.
"Yes I would believe it's time we got you cleaned up my dear." replied Belial casting Astaroth an amused look.
"Well this is farewell for now Astaroth you'll be seeing us again soon." laughed the Hatter as she and Atayla disappeared in one quick burst of playing cards and butterflies for which the Hatter was most known for.
Before leaving with Belial Atayla strode over to Astaroth and came within inches of his face. Her tongue flicked out and ran over his ruby colored lips before saying "I don't know which blood taste better yours or the other angel's" with a flash she and the hatter were gone leaving Astaroth bloody and pissed off.
Deep in Belial's own realm she had taken it upon herself to clean Atayla up. The Hatter flew done the halls of her own private world practically dragging Atayla along by the hand.
It didn't take them long to come upon Belial's own room. Throwing Atayla into the room and then snapping her fingers a little demon appeared awaiting to take the Hatter's commands.
The little demon looked like a cross between one on those ugly little imps and a playing card that looked like it had been taken right out of � Alice in Wonderland". "Set up a bath for my lovely guest and be quick I'm not too patient today my little one." said the Hatter to the creature.
Without so much as a single word the creature ran out of the room and into another one to carry out his master's commands. Atayla stood with a smirk evident on her face as she took off the stupid mask the Hatter had made her wear while they had went on their little "tour".
Atayla moved through the room letting her hands run over the furniture and other objects. The room was littered with hooks and hands hanging out of the walls each holding a hat, or cloak, or other strange item the Hatter was so famous for wearing.
Oddly shaped furniture in hues off red or black was everywhere as well. The suits of cards and their shapes present on most of the things in the room. Pictures that moved and watched you with their unseeing eyes looked down on you as you walked through the room.
Odd things in jars were present on the shelves here and there. Each of the jars contained anything from a mutilated rabbit or perhaps parts of varying demons. Decadence reigned in this room.
The bed with it sheer canopy and rich sheets screamed that they were only used for one thing in particular, after all the Hatter did have a reputation for being a whore.
This room had to be the epitome of strange and unusual. Of course Atayla didn't seem to mind or to care as she sat down on one of the richly colored and decorated couches putting her feet up on it getting comfortable.
"I must say Hatter this is quite a lovely room you have here. I would hope that my dear friends have set mine up to fit my tastes. If they haven't already maybe I'll ask you to be my decorator." mused Atayla playing with one of the trinkets on the table next to her.
"If you ask nicely maybe I'll consider it Atayla." replied the Hatter moving to sit down in one of her own chairs opposite the couch. The two sat in silence until the little creature ran into the room and whispered something to Belial.
Belial nodded and shooed the little thing away. "Alright bath time." stated Belial enthusiastically.
"Wonderful." came out Atayla's sarcastic reply.
Atayla followed the Hatter through an oddly carved door and found herself in a bathroom that was just as strange as the last one. The Hatter pushed her in the direction of a water filled hole in the middle of the room that could only be the tub.
It steamed with the hot water and smelled of something like incense. The Hatter snapped her fingers and in ran in another one of those little imps who proceeded to try to help Atayla out of her clothes.
Atayla smirked and pushed the little creature away and stripped down on her own. After getting undressed she walked over to the tub and sank in the warm water. With a sigh she sank into it deeper breathing in the sweet incense.
The Hatter appeared behind her sitting on the edge and reached out to grab Atayla's arm. She examined the wound in her arm left by Leviathan. Belial tsked and proceeded to wash it and wrap it up so it would heal faster.
She proceeded to bathe Atayla as if she was a child. Washing her long dark hair in the water and then scrubbing away at her back, neck and arms.
After awhile Belial handed Atayla the sponge thing and said "I would think you can finish washing off all the blood and stench hanging on the pretty body of yours Atayla."
"It'd be kind of sad if I couldn't but yes I can finish by myself thank you very much." came Atayla's sarcasm.
The Hatter went to go sit on one of the chairs in the room to wait for Atayla to finish bathing. Atayla rubbed her skin raw trying to get off the stink of angels off of her. Her hair still smelled of blood and was sticky with it. As if seeing Atayla's reaction to the blood in her hair she snapped and an imp started to wash it for her.
Atayla let up no protest and let the imps bathe her as she relaxed in the hot water. Her head lolled back against the edge of the tub and she closed her eyes with a sigh. After she had had enough of the five star treatment the imps gave her she stood up and stepped out of the tub.
The Hatter just sat there as the imps rushed to get her a towel. Atayla merely squeezed the water out of her hair not really caring about being modest at the present moment. "You shouldn't walk around like that savior it's not a very ladylike thing to do. With a body like that you might get unwanted attention for not being modest." said the Hatter eyeing Atayla.
"Thanks for the tip but I already knew that. I am a woman after all I know the effect this lovely little body can have on people." smirked Atayla taking the offered towel and walking out off the room Hatter and the imps trailing not too far behind her.
After a few minutes of having to wait on Belial to find Atayla something to where she finally did. Coming towards her with a black dress with edges trimmed in red. It had strap sleeves and tied her in to it with a corset like back with red strings. The dress came down to the floor and fit her slim figure perfectly and shad a V shaped slit on the front that from her neck to in between her breasts.. The Hatter also brought a pair of those sheer black thigh high stockings she seemed so fond of herself.
A pair of boots came too. Belial had one of the imps curl Atayla's hair into loose waves. Looking at herself in the mirror Atayla smirked as she pulled on a pair of lacey gloves Belial had handed to her. She looked good in the slim black dress with delicate red trim. Little straps over the shoulders holding the dress up and lacing up in the back. A red sash went around Atayla�s waist and tied in a bow behind her.
The bottom flared out but only a little dragging along the floor due to its length. All together Atayla fit the image of Hell's savior. She looked fabulous in Belial's opinion as she looked over her handy work. Atayla moved with ease in the long dress. It really did look wonderful on her.
Atayla moved away from the mirror and sat in one of the chairs strewn about the room and asked "Now what Hatter?"
"Now we will go and have tea since you now look the part of a lovely lady you will get treated like one before you go off to do whatever you must to get this war starting off fairly." answered the Hatter.
"Very well Belial, lead on." replied Atayla rising from her seat to follow Belial.
Apparently sitting down to eat with Belial was quite the affair. Little creatures carried trays back and forth from the little tea table as Atayla and Hatter finished one thing and went onto the next. The red lipstick made it hard to eat without smudging on the glasses or silver wear. Belial had insisted on doing Atayla's makeup as well as her clothes.
Everything from sweet hot tea to sweets, bowls of blood to soup, and anything else the Hatter decided brought an odd sort of formality to the table was there.
Atayla merely sipped the tea and every once in awhile reached on to pick up one of the colorful confections. Belial merely sat there watching as Atayla ate and asked "You're not eating much is something wrong with the food?"
Atayla looked up at Belial and replied after she took a little mouse bite out of the confection in her hand "I'd rather get my own food thanks, and besides that everything is too sweet for my tastes."
"Ah I well then I suppose it's time you let and went on your little trip to visit those deathly friends of yours." answered the Hatter.
"So you remembered that I actually have work to do I'm impressed Belial." retorted Atayla.
"Yes those friends of yours are quite...charming." said Belial searching for the right word.
"You misunderstood me Hatter. Those are not the friends I'm going to visit. These are much more ghastly and will provide Hell with many a valuable asset." replied Atayla rising from the table.
"Hmmmmm I would assume that you have ulterior motives underneath this helpful facade Atayla." hissed Belial in response.
"You bet your ass I do Hatter now hurry up and send me to Hades." came Atayla's reply with a smirk attached to her rouged lips.
Shukra (Court of the Fiends)
Atayla was thankful for the bath she had had before arriving here otherwise she might have attracted a lot of unwanted attention with the stench of angel blood clinging to her body.
She knew where she was going and planned to get there unhindered, but then again nothing in life or death was left unhindered for long. She got lucky and made it to her destination without any complications.
The entrance to Shukra was something only Atayla could open after all it was her place no one else's. The gateway to Shukra was guarded by it own cloaking, no one would ever find it in this desolate plane of Hades.
A distortion marked it's presence in the surroundings around Atayla. The distortion parted before Atayla and then closed behind her as she entered.
The damp air would have been suffocating to anyone who wasn't used to it. After staying in this place for so long Atayla had been used to it staying in it for and eternity would do that to you.
With it's towering tiers sprouting out of that dilapidated building that looked suspiciously like a cathedral. The rain had washed all of the blood away and left the smell behind. The cobblestones wet with rain and the building in the distance dripped with the damp of the storm.
Her heels clicked as she moved on. This world went on forever as far as the eye could see the set stone streets. Buildings littered the streets. They too were crumbling and wearing away with the rain of course it was frozen in time by now just like everything else. The never clearing grey skies looked down on her spreading their sorrow.
Something cawed in the distance as she walked on drawing ever nearer to the broken cathedral. The stagnant air never changed and no wind seemed to blow. Everything had stopped as the Mistress arrived in her world again. The ruins looked on her as if holding their breath wanting for her to scream out in anguish.
The buildings surrounding this place on all sides were always locked, always silent, and always waiting. Every once in awhile a light would appear from behind one of those rotted and clouded windows. From far away the light would stay on but if you drew any closer to it would disappear.
There were screams when the lights went out in this place and there was movement everywhere you just had to know where to look, even then if you did know where to look you wouldn't see a damned thing since they never moved for anyone, not even their Mistress.
The bell tolled from the chapel's highest tier. It tolled the usual thirteen times one for each unworthy soul here. The normal twelve times wouldn't toll tonight instead the witching hour would start once again for the first time in an eternity of Atayla not being there. It was time for her to play the Devil at the Midnight Mass.
Time to go and pay a visit to everyone here in this place. The door was open as she walked up the cathedral steps. Walking in she saw the pews, the altar, the stained glass, and the air of sarcasm in it as it drew breath in time with her.
She walked up the altar steps running her hands along the smooth surface. She jumped on to it and sat down with one fluid motion. A cackle called out loudly right next to her ear. A sick smile appeared on Atayla's lips as she laughed with renewed vigor at her tainted little minion.
"War is that you my dear?" questioned Atayla to the figure by her ear. Turning around she saw that it was indeed the White Rider on his white steed with piercing blind eyes all over its body, bow in hand, crown placed on his head, and cloak covering his skeleton body he tilted his head in respect for his Mistress.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha time for us to ride again in the wake of our gracious Mistress. We will hand you the all the realms our dear general." cackled out White Rider replying to Atayla's question.
"Hmmm lovely to see you're ready for a fight War, wait for me in the Sanctum." stated Atayla. Walking deeper into the chapel as the skeletal horseman rode out towards the Sanctum.
Atayla walked towards the stairway that lead to the crypts beneath the cathedral. She flew down the stairs with familiar ease and found herself in the candle lighted entrance. The strong stone door that was barred from the inside an action from the inhabitant of the crypt.
The door creaked open with a familiar ghastly laugh and cackle from behind it bidding Atayla to come in. The door slammed shut behind her as she walked in.
Walking with that air of confidence she needed no light to navigate her way through the familiar passage. A slit of light appeared from beneath a wooden door to her left. Kicking the door open she entered the shrine and found its inhabitant sitting in the balcony staring down at her. The skeleton jumped down at her.
Its cloak fluttered as it came down and landed bowed before her sword crossing his chest. A bellowed howl came from the red steed in the corner from his enclosing behind the shrine.
"Pestilence. It is a pleasure as always go and follow War to the sanctum it's time to start the fun again." spoke Atayla with a smirk.
"Mistress being in your presence is as ravishing as always." came the second horseman's reply. With a whistle to his steed he mounted it and rode out to join his companion.
Atayla let out a cackle of her own as she exited the shrine and walked deeper into the crypts to find the third horseman of the four. Walking down deeper set of stairs down the corridor she need not wait long for another cackle from deep in the crypts.
The third horseman was mounted and awaiting his commands from behind a locked grate. Forever this was his home only able to be let out of his cage by his Mistress; Atayla.
Unlocking the grate with a wave of her hand she bid the third rider a warm hello. "Famine ride to the others and you'll get you fill of mayhem soon enough."
The horseman one the black steed raised his scales high above his head and looked up as the scales tilted in his favor as always. Another cackle rang off the walls as he rode out towards his brothers. The horse�s hooves clicked on the floor in time with Atayla's heels as she ran with them out of the crypts.
With the door slamming shut behind them as they exited the crypt the horseman of Famine rode out of the Cathedral while Atayla walked up the stairs to the high altar to find the fifth fiend. Atayla already knew where the forth fiend was. The Pale Rider of Death guarded the Sanctum while his Mistress was away.
"Harlot and beast! Display for me your power. With a roar a large seven headed beast charged at her. Atayla leapt into the air and over the balcony to the floor below. The Harlot commanded the mighty beast that she rode upon to leap down after their Mistress. Atayla landed on the beast next to the skeleton woman dressed in the clothes of a whore and a chalice of blood and the filth of her actions bared in her left hand.
Sipping from the chalice The Harlot smacked the huge seven headed ten horned beast on the back as if to calm him. "Mistress we have been awaiting your return for some great amount of time now. We are relieved to have you back and to once again be under your command once more." stated The Harlot with a sinister smile appearing on her skull face.
"Well now isn't that lovely my dear Harlot leave after the others will you?" questioned Atayla jumping off the beast patting it on one of its seven heads making the others jealous.
The Harlot nodded and rode the beast with reigns in hand out towards the Sanctum. One last stop to make and it was to the highest tier where the Trumpeter of God made his home.
Atayla climbed up stairs upon stairs upon stairs taking two and maybe three at a time to reach the top of the cathedral faster. Finally clinging to the wall to pull herself up faster she reached the wooden door that lead to the rotting roof of the desecrated chapel.
Opening the door a gust of wind hit her and forced her to stagger back a few steps. The Trumpeter stood on the pointed tier awaiting his Mistress in that spot forever until the end of eternity. His skeletal gaze flickered to his Mistress' lithe form, he flew done to her with those pretty angel wings with the burnt tips that glowed forever like immortal embers of his sin.
His flowing garbs and robes flew about him with the wind. "Trumpeter it is the time now for us to make things fair in this little game of Heaven and Hell's." shouted Atayla at the fiend angel.
"Of course my Mistress." replied the fiend. He wrapped an arm around her waist and brought her to the tier with him. Taking out his ornate trumpet that when blown in sequence of the right notes signified the end on the worlds known as Heaven, Assiah, and Hell. He blew his trumpet in the notes that signified death in its purest form; rebirth.
The notes sounded out screaming through the stagnant air as both he and his Mistress fell from the tier in a blur of heavenly grabs and angelic wings that smoldered like embers. Those pretty wings took fire with the aid of the wind pushing the embers through his feathers.
Falling once again from grace with fire and finesse the rain poured down on them as the wings smoked and streamed raining ash upon the earth as they tumbled faster and faster towards their fate.
The Trumpeter turned their bodies over and over again finally letting Atayla loose to fall free of him and his burning sins. Atayla landed softly on her feet heels clicking on the ground as Trumpeter floated down to ground using his wings as aid.
As he and Atayla ran through the rain the Sanctum came ever closer and closer as they neared it and it came into view little by little. The sanctum was there right in front of them as she and Trumpeter entered to find the rest of the fiends there awaiting there commands.
"Our Mistress is back and now we shall to take that glamour away from those who have nothing to show for it. Heaven will fall and perhaps maybe Assiah and Hell with It." came out the shrill voice of The Fiend Trumpeter.
Walking up the steps of the altar of the Sanctum Atayla seated herself on the gilded throne too large for any being to sit in but it was all the same the idea was still there. The Seven Fiends found themselves all together again with their fiend queen reigning over them once again. Atayla couldn't help but let out a laugh at the situation.
All that was left to do was to set the newly resurrected ones in their rightful places as pawns on each side of the board. All together the Court of the Fiends was back to the way it was before Atayla had found herself in Heaven to begin with.
"Well now it would seem that we all have some work to do so listen up my dears." smirked Atayla leaning back into the throne in which she sat.
"Now my dear Countess I suppose it's only fitting for you to go and collect those who have died as tragically as such sad lovers usually do." evoked Atayla to The Harlot who merely let out a laugh and left to go off to do her task.
"Alright then since that is settled the next thing to do is to take care of that other set of angst ridden ones who died almost as tragically, I would have had my dear Countess of the Carnal do it but that might cause some problems, and most likely would be quite awkward for all four parties present. Lets see I think I will have you do it my dear Lord of Enmity handle that."
The White Rider went off as well to fulfill his duty to his Mistress. "And of course one messenger remains, Sir Paucity find the one who died too young and bring her here for me to send back to where she belongs." spoke Atayla referring to the one whom Raziel seemed so fond of.
He nodded and his steed and him galloped out as well leaving only Atayla, The Trumpeter, The Pale Rider, and The Red Rider to think on how much fun this would end up being.
Atayla had decided that Belial would be the one who could greet Lucifer after all she was his servant not Atayla. Belial could fill the recently resurrected Demon Lord of what had happened in his absence.
"Mistress what is the task you have set for me to do?" questioned Trumpeter.
"I need you to get me a fresh angel body..." said Atayla trailing off as she thought on exactly what she required for the task she had to do before leaving Hades.
"Something young but not too young, a female angel if you would my Marquis of Dominion. Preferably something blond." replied Atayla with a smirk liking how smart she was already. The two left leaving the remaining Pale Rider to wait for them.
Atayla was having the time of her life walking through the soul filled wasteland of death and horrors known as Hades. To her it didn't get better than this since after all was said and done Atayla was a sadistic insane nutcase that lived for everything horrible and destructive.
With the Trumpeter at her heels she found it helped to have the fiend around. He kept the ghouls at bay and that only helped her keep her patience on the long trip to pay a visit to the Hell Gate guardian none as Uriel; the angel of the dead.
"This is starting to get very annoying Trumpeter I mean everywhere you look there's a fucking ghoul lurking around." hissed Atayla her blood boiling in anger.
"Yes well what would you have expected Mistress?" replied the fiend.
Atayla merely turned around and glared at him for a moment. "You certainly found that body fast my dear." stated Atayla still moving towards their destination.
"You said to find something fresh and I did. I went up into Heaven and caught it myself." came the fiends reply as he followed.
"You scared the poor girl my dear. I suppose it's better this way after all she didn't suffer too much I would hope." sighed Atayla as they followed the river Acheron.
The water glowed a murky color and its essence of death wafted through the air. Anything that touched it would not remember a damn thing about whom or what they were before that moment. It was a river of memories sunk deep within the mud at the bottom of its cesspool water of meaningless souls.
"We're here." was what Atayla said when they reached their destination. A manor that could never decay or rot or die. It was a contradiction of everything in this place a mocking reminder that everything here was indeed dead, on the outside and the inside.
It was huge a manor of organic things manipulated into this beautiful piece of art. Walking up the steps and throwing open the door was all Atayla had to do to be greeted with a scythe curving around her neck.
"Get out." was the greeting the angel of the dead Uriel gave her as she entered his living mansion. Atayla merely pushed the stupid little toy away from her throat and said "You know that's quite rude if I do say so myself Uriel."
Uriel backed away and was a bout to say something before a female voice said from the direction of the stairs in front of them on the foyer "Rude! That's all you have to say about Master Uri's actions. You're the one who barged into his home and decided to be rude!" shouted Doll at Atayla.
"My my my what bad manners this silly little thing of yours has Uriel." commented Atayla looking Doll up and down before being interrupted by Uriel.
"Who are you? What is it you've come here for?" asked Uriel eyeing Atayla suspiciously.
"Well now I've come to help you out, or more to the point help out your little friend over there Uri. But I suppose It was rude of me to come barging in here like that I do so dearly apologize for my rudeness." replied Atayla.
"Doll set up tea for our guest." said Uriel to Doll who was watching the exchange between her master and Atayla intently thus far.
"But Master why should she get t-..." asked Doll before being interrupted by Uriel. "Doll." interrupted Uriel with severity in his voice.
Doll merely nodded her head and scurried off to make tea. "Now tell me who you are." repeated Uriel.
"You may call me Atayla. I am here to offer you something in exchange for a favor." replied Atayla casting a look to the Trumpeter who had a body she had asked him to get her in a bag strapped to his wings.
"What kind of a favor?" questioned Uriel.
"I hear you are good with making bodies am I correct?" answered Atayla.
"Yes what you have heard about me is true." replied Uriel giving Atayla a questioning look.
"Well then can you make me four bodies that are real, by this I mean made out of flesh and bone?" asked Atayla returning the look he was giving her.
"I can but I will not make you bodies like that I do not kill for purposes solely to make another body out of one that was already living." replied Uriel.
"Don't worry about trivial things at the moment I merely need to know if you can do such a thing as I have asked and attach a soul to it." replied Atayla getting angered at the monotones tone of the conversation.
"Yes I can." was the angel's reply.
"Good. That's all I needed to know I hope we can continue over tea." replied Atayla as Doll came scurrying back to them and said "Everything is ready Master Uri."
Uriel merely nodded in response and led the way. Atayla followed and cast a glance back at Trumpeter that clearly said 'Stay'.
Following Uriel into what appeared to be a sitting form he offered her a seat at the small table. Tea was set out and Atayla took the seat across from him.
"Now I understand this must be quite interesting to say the least to have someone you don't know show up and ask you for a favor. I don't know if you've noticed but since the fall of YHWH things have been happening." said Atayla starting the conversation.
"I have but what does this have to do with you or the situation at hand." replied the angel clearly confused.
"Well let�s start with the fact that Heaven and Hell are about to start a war with each other that one will lose. The losing side will end up being taken by the Evils or Gehenna as those of you in Heaven know them as. The fact is that I'm here to help Hell win this war." replied Atayla taking a sip of her tea.
"Why would I help someone who's going against Heaven and the angels in it?" asked Uriel calm as ever.
"Heaven is still corrupt and as much as angels such as you and the others that have been involved in the incident with YHWH you are on the Evils' side and you know it so stop playing coy!" ranted Atayla angrily at Uriel who's demeanor never changed in the slightest.
"Go on." said Uriel now drinking his tea as well awaiting Atayla's reply.
"I'm not in the mood for playing games I'm cranking having just woken up from being one of Heaven's lab rats for longer than you've been alive Uriel!" shouted Atayla her anger unyielding.
At this the look on Uriel's face changed entirely into shock from what he had just heard. From whether it made him think on old memories of Alexial being imprisoned in Heaven or something else Atayla didn't know.
"Good it seems I have you attention. I suppose you thought that all the ones who suffered at the evils of YHWH and the one who created him ended with the destruction of that stupid little toy of 'God'. I am merely helping Hell for helping me. I have an agenda of my own when it comes to Heaven and it has to do with the one sitting on the throne now." continued Atayla.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Uriel still in awe over what was being said to him.
"Did you think that YHWH was 'God'? Did you honestly think you had killed the start of all of this? Man you angels really are stupid." stated Atayla sporting a bored look on her face.
"We were not stupid we did what we had to do to free ourselves from the grasp of an unfair and unjust force controlling us." replied Uriel never losing his cool.
"Hmmm it would seem so but what did it do for you besides wake up the real 'God' you all thought was YHWH. Though I can't blame you for what happened, as a matter of fact it helped me greatly it's the reason I'm here but that's beside the point. Will you help me or not?" asked Atayla.
"What will I get in return?" replied Uriel.
"I was waiting for when you asked me that. Trumpeter!" called Atayla to the fiend still standing out in the hall. The fiend came in and bowed to his Mistress awaiting his command.
At that moment Doll came rushing in after the Trumpeter yelling about how unfit it was for a guest to do such a thing. Before she could say another word Doll came face to face with Atayla who had leapt out of her seat.
Atayla's hand made contact with Doll's forehead and Doll screamed. Uriel jumped out of his seat as well but was confronted with by the Trumpeter. By the time Uriel pushed passed the fiend Doll was slumped against Atayla.
"Don't look so pissed off I gave her back all her memories that you never could. All those things that happened to her in her life she will remember and hopefully when she wakes up she will have her old body as well." said Atayla to Uriel's angered look.
"What do you mean!" yelled Uriel trying to launch himself at Atayla but being pushed away by the Trumpeter. Uriel was pushed back into the table and as he tried to push himself up he was met by Atayla.
"Now now now don't be so hasty I'm here to help. Like I said I needed a favor and I did you one so now you really don't have a choice. I even brought you something that will help you make her a real body made out of flesh and bone not silly little plants. She's a girl not a machine you should treat her like one." stated Atayla moving away from him.
Uriel's anger died down as he went over to Doll and picked her up. "Come with me." was all he said as he lead Atayla down stairs into his work room.
This was the place where he made the bodies of Doll and the boy Kato. It reminded Atayla of the fairytale Pinocchio with Uriel playing the part of Gepeto.
Atayla had the angel body brought by Trumpeter with her and placed it on a table. "There you go now she can have a real body." replied Atayla to the look Uriel was giving her.
"Who was it?" asked Uriel in reference to the body.
"How would I know all I can tell you was they went peacefully." came Atayla's sarcastic reply.
Uriel thought for a moment about what he was going to do. "What is it that you want me to do?" asked Uriel giving in to Atayla's deal henceforth accepting the body and Kirie's memories as payment.
"Good now we're talking. I need you to make me four flesh and blood bodies and attach souls to them. The bodies that are to be made are for those who have died because of the 'God' that sits on his throne ruling Heaven now." replied Atayla.
"Very well bring me the bodies and I will make them." came Uriel's reply.
With a quick smile Atayla walked up to him and said " Bend down you're to tall." bending at the waist Uriel brought his head down to Atayla's level. Atayla placed a hand on top of his head and with it came a flood of her memories. The four bodies flashed in his mind along with visions of what had been done to them.
He pushed her away and clutched the table gasping for breath. "Yeah now you know why I owe it to them to get them new bodies and well get them back into this world. No one deserves to die like that just because someone like 'God' says so." hissed Atayla.
As Atayla turned to leave Uriel reached out and grabbed her wrist. "Thank you for helping her." he said casting a glance to Kirie whose body was on a cot in the center of the room.
"Just do what I asked you to do and we're even." replied Atayla cracking a smile to the angel of the dead. Just as she was about to leave she turned and said "She really does care about you a lot and that won't change even with her memories, but I should warn you most of her memories aren't pleasant ones."
"Thanks." was Uriel's reply.
"Oh and one more thing I'll be sending you what you need to make the bodies. I wouldn't dream of making you kill someone to get them. After all it's what I'm best at anyway. I wouldn't want to disappoint Heaven by not using the skills they decided to give me. I mean it would be rude not to be what they wanted me to act like all along." laughed Atayla before leaving Uriel to his work.
Atziluth (Heaven, 1st level)
Einthe walked down the halls of the cathedral with Ceciael at his side with that cold as ice expression on her face. The ever stoic, ever harsh, ever emotionless Ceciael never saying a word unless necessary.
The two walked until they came upon the long table where the alter should have been. At the table eight people were seated in order of rank.
"Well now all this for me I'm honored my my little ones." said Einthe taking his seat at the head of the table. He looked around at the faces staring back at him.
"Ceciael, Taiel, Myial, Reiel, Aradel, Nesiael, Lulial, Gaiael, and Vicael would appear as if my entire council is here. I'm so amused to find that everything is in place now that I have awakened." sighed Einthe as he slid down slouching in his chair.
Einthe's eyes flickered over the occupants of the table once again. Ceciael sat in her place next to him on his right as the Seraphim in his council. Taiel with that aqua colored curling hair and unseeing eyes sat next to him on his left taking his place as the Cherubim.
Myial with that long two toned black and brown hair and steel blue eyes of glass sat next to Ceciael as the Ophanim.
Next came Reiel who sat next to Taiel and had that lovely golden hair that fell in waves to his shoulders and those ever intelligent eyes colored like honey who was the Dominion.
It went on to Aradel next to Myial she had a somber look crossing her features buried behind that ever long indigo hair and those glowing teal eyes peering out from behind them showing the how keen she was to every detail of what was in front of her she took the place of the Virtue.
Nesiael sat next to Reiel. His spiked black hair was anything but angelic and those olive eyes cast a severe and unforgiving look to those around him. He was in all respect the perfect one to symbolize the Powers at Einthe table.
Seated next to Aradel was Lulial with that rich plum colored tangled hair and emerald eyes she sat in silence merely observing what was going on, content with her position as the Principalities.
Gaiael was next to Nesiael and glared from behind his scarlet chopped up hair that hung unevenly around his face his black on black eyes shining with glee and menace. The ever watchful of all the Archangels sat in silence.
Of course one more seat was left and it was at the far end of the table was the one who survived at the lowest level of the advisors the Angel Vicael. Her soft silver hair hung slack past her shoulders a bit and her lavender eyes stared forward never moving.
Everyone was silent waiting for their God to speak. "My children it would seem that the fun will start soon enough so for now lets all begin to tell me of what has happened while I have slept. Oh and do bring me the ones that I have requested to be brought back. I do so dearly wish to see them.
Their God sat there slouching in his chair with that childlike look on his face after all he was so young and so pretty. With his short curling brown hair and golden eyes he sat there full of hate and vengeance for anything and everything that wasn't entertaining. Inside that beautiful body he was nothing more than a monster like everything else in Heaven at the time.
Shukra (Court of the Fiends)
Atayla returned back to where she felt most at home, her world of solitude where only the few who were viewed as Fiends resided. She stood there in the Sanctum waiting for those of her court to return with those she had hoped to speak with.
Atayla had sent the Trumpeter back to his tier far above the ground to remain the ever watchful one as he was so none as most of the time. The roar of an inhuman beast cut through the shrill silence and marked The Harlot's return.
The Harlot jumped off of the beast with ease and went to her Mistress and said "They are where you have requested them I did not let them see each other yet I supposed you would want to do that my Lady." stated The Harlot turning away and calling to the beast so that they could go back to where they so dearly loved.
Atayla walked towards the place where she knew The harlot had placed the once great warlord and leader of the Anima Mundi that stood as proudly now as it did when he was there.
The corridors of the Sanctum echoed with the clicking of her heels as she made her way to the room where he was being kept. The gloomy hall was light with candles and the smell of wax was pure nostalgia to Atayla as she continued on.
She came to the barred door which open as if on its on for Atayla as she neared it. She walked in quickly and the door slammed behind her. Making her way to the huddled form in the corner trying to shield itself from the light it pounced on her with savage glee.
"Who are you!" was what the male voice screamed at her. With a swift kick Atayla got him off of her and jumped to the side avoiding his blow that he aimed at her.
She kept dodging blows until she was fed up and decided enough was enough. She sent a fist to his jaw which sent him flying into the wall. Before he could recover Atayla was standing above him and said "Calm the fuck down retard I'm the one who resurrected you from that meaningless existence roaming around in Hades!"
Zaphikel stopped and stared at the woman in front of him. Atayla merely smiled and said "Yes you're alive great throne Zaphikel. You've been sleeping for a long time and I figured you of all people would be grateful for this second chance that I so thoughtfully have granted you."
"Who are you?" asked Zaphikel again clearly confused. Atayla thought for a moment before continuing.
"It's not important I have decided that you deserve to live as does everyone else who was victim to that false 'God' you angels have so strongly believed in. The savior destroyed that little toy that was in control of Heaven and now the real 'God' is awake and ready to take his place once again in Heaven." replied Atayla.
"..." was all the great throne could say at the moment.
"Yeah I figured this would be a hard thing to explain to someone that hasn't been around for awhile." sighed Atayla trying to come up with how to explain the whole story to Zaphikel.
"How long has it been since I died?" asked Zaphikel looking up at Atayla.
"Not long but a lot has happened and I can't explain it I'm sorry. The best I can do is try to give you back what you lost and send you back to Heaven and have someone explain it to you. Heaven isn't as corrupt as it was so you will be safe for the time being." replied Atayla.
Zaphikel merely shook his head in understanding and asked "Why are you doing all of this?"
Atayla smiled again and replied "Because I feel like being nice today that's why. I guess you could say I'm setting the scales so to speak, but you wouldn't understand if I explained. I'm going to send you back and with that I guess it's time for me to leave."
"Wait! Leave what are you talking about?" yelled Zaphikel as Atayla reached the door.
"Don't worry I'll have someone take you back to Heaven. Don't be scared at who it is, she's more bark than bark." replied Atayla referring to The Harlot.
Zaphikel just sat there trying to comprehend what was happening to him at the moment.
"That woman Anael is back as well I'll bring you to her. I know what happened in your past Zaphikel and that part of the reason I brought her back. I can't have you falling apart about the sins of your past when I need you to be playing your part in Heaven." stated Atayla leaving the room.
Upon hearing Anael's name Zaphikel rushed out of the room and grabbed Atayla by the wrist and hissed "How do you know about her!?" in shock.
"I know a lot of things now come with me and you can see her. I wouldn't be so loud she's resting it's hard for those who have been dead so long to just awakening out of the blue like she just did. It's hard on her body to adapt so be careful with her. I plan on letting you and her get back into Heaven as soon as possible so let's go." replied Atayla ripping her wrist out of Zaphikel's grasp and walking on.
Zaphikel frowned but still followed her onward towards where Anael was being kept. The two didn't have to walk long before being confronted by The Harlot's pet beast.
"Well now where pray tell is Harlot she never leaves you alone 'Cupcake'." mused Atayla using her new pet name for Harlot's beast. Zaphikel grew impatient until he saw a figure walking towards them.
The Harlot was walking to them with a body in her arms. Anael. She looked battered and bloody, but at the moment so did Zaphikel so it didn't really matter.
Zaphikel ran towards her just as the Harlot reached out her arms with the woman cradled in them. "See I told you." said Atayla stepping off to the side leaning against the stone wall.
Zaphikel merely cooed softly to the woman he never stopped loving throughout all the years they had been apart from each other. Zaphikel took Anael in his arms and turned to Atayla and said "Thank you. I still don't understand anything about what's happening but thank you."
"No trouble to me. Like I said I felt like being nice. I will send Harlot with you to heaven just to make sure you are safe. I suppose the most logically place for them to bring you is to that boy you seem so attached too." replied Atayla looking at the ground deep in thought.
"Raziel. Thank you it means a lot that you are doing this." said Zaphikel stroking Anael's tattered and bloody platinum hair.
"Hmmm you shouldn't say things like that we may be enemies in the future, but for now we are not so say your 'thank you's' and let that be all." was Atayla's reply.
Zaphikel merely shook his head in understanding. Atayla took her eyes off the floor and looked over at him and said "You'll have to wait awhile I have one more person that will be going with you if you don't mind."
"Who?" questioned Zaphikel.
"Someone dear to your sweet Raziel." was all Atayla said as she walked up to Zaphikel and placed her hand on his head giving him one more gift before walking off leaving The Harlot to watch over the two lovers as she went off to see if the Black Rider was back as of yet.
The Black Rider was indeed back and too Atayla's surprise none of the three people she had asked him to collect for her were awake. She was glad for that it would be to her benefit with things as they were.
She had had the Black Rider put the two boys into one room and told him to leave the girl in her room. Atayla walked to her own chamber and smiled when she realized the girl was still sleeping.
She walked over to the sleeping girl who laid across the bed and gently shook her. The girl woke with fright and scurried away from Atayla with a response of "Who the hell are you!" shouted out so loud it echoed off the stone walls.
"Don't yell it will only give me a headache girl." replied Atayla sneering a little at the silvered haired girl. She looked like a teenager in human years but the single wing on her back spoke volumes.
"Shateiel it's alright you've been dead and now you're not that's all you need to know right now. The Heaven you knew is a little different and I would like to bring you to that boy you seem to have a friendship with." spoke Atayla softly trying not to frighten the girl at the moment.
"Raziel?" questioned Shateiel with hope in her eyes.
"Yes. I'm going to send you to see him along with two other alright now let's go I'm losing my good mode." replied Atayla with a smile. Shateiel merely shook her head enthusiastically and walked along with Atayla back to where Atayla had left Zaphikel and Anael.
Atayla had sent the three on their way to visit the young leader of the Anima Mundi. Her work with that was done and she decided she should wait for Whit Rider to come so she could finish sending the remaining angels to Heaven and deal with their new found existence.
She didn't have to wait long before White Rider came to her in the Sanctum minus his horse and told her "Mistress the two you had sent me to find are no longer apart of this world or any that is within the Trumpeter's reach I am sorry if this disappoints you."
"I see. Well then I suppose having found each other was enough for them. They may not have life but they have their happiness in death and that is enough for the moment I suppose, for them at least." replied Atayla
The White Rider shook his head in agreement and awaited his orders. "You may go now I have work to do." replied Atayla rising from her seat and walking out of the Sanctum and off to the cathedral.
The Whit Rider followed her out and then disappeared to where ever it was he liked to go off to. Atayla looked up at the sky and saw that it was going to rain soon. She smiled at the thought of having it rain here a land once flooded with rivers of blood now washed clean because off so many rains.
Now this is when the fun would begin after all the remaining ones that had been resurrected were already where they were supposed to be. Of course the Satan of Wrath would have already awoken and been brought back to Hell with the aid of the Red Rider and of course the Demon Lord was already there so all was well.
She couldn't help but smirk at the way things were playing out and it made her giddy knowing that things were almost ready for the fun to start.
Gehenna (Hell, 1st level)
Kurai just sat there with Noyz at her side thinking intently on the way things were going so far. That frown on her face only turned into a sneer when she heard someone trying to sneak up on her.
With a swift turn Kurai turned her whole body so she spun and found herself facing the other direction. Setsuna screamed "Kurai! My god at least make it easy for me to sneak up on you." with a huff he smirked a little.
"Setsuna you shouldn't try to play tricks on the princess it's bad manners." scolded Noyz harshly.
Setsuna just stuck out his tongue and started to say something before he heard Sara's voice behind him "SETSUNA! Leave her alone you're to old to be playing tricks on Kurai!" shouted Sara.
Kurai suddenly felt dizzy and fell down to her knees as Jade, the future seeing dragon's voice filled her head. "Kurai! There is something odd going on I can feel something coming towards Gehenna and it feels almost like Lady Alexial. She's here but I don't know where it's as if she's stuck between realms trying to get to us!"
Setsuna, Sara, and Noyz rushed to Kurai trying to find out what was wrong. Kurai ran towards the place she knew served as the gateway that linked Gehenna to the spirit realm. She ran to the room where Setsuna had stayed when he was in the body of Alexial.
Kurai looked in the pool of water in the center of the room as ripples appeared on the surface. Something was indeed trying to come through.
Kurai went to the edge and peered in. A hand shot forward and grasped to find something to hold onto. It found the ledge next to Kurai. Setsuna, Sara, and Noyz appeared simultaneously in the doorway of the room as the rest of a body came up form the clouded water.
Alexial's other hand and then upper body came through. Kurai pulled on Alexial's arm trying to free her as the other watched on in awe. Alexial was out and lay there gasping on the floor trying to fill her lungs with air.
Once she stopped gasping she looked around the room and her eyes settled on Kurai as if wondering if this was all real. "Lady Alexial!" was what Kurai shouted as she hung to Alexial's neck gleefully.
"Kurai. I'm glad to be back but something is wrong I've been resurrected by someone and so has Rosiel but it's not the same person. There's something wrong with this. Very wrong I shouldn't be back I died." replied Alexial her eyes searching for answers but finding none.
Kurai was about to say something when a scream was heard. It was Moonlil, as Sara affectionately called her. Sara ran towards the scream to find Moonlil on the floor clutching her head in pain. "Lil what's wrong say something!" screamed Sara hysterically.
"It hurts my head, my body, everything!" cried out the girl before falling into unconsciousness. "Something's happening." came Alexial's voice from next to them. She was wearing a blanket around her since she had come out of the water naked.
Kurai looked frightened as Noyz shook with fear as if she had felt something. "Boyz is back." was all she said before crying and running off to where they had buried Boyz after he had died.
Kurai and Setsuna exchanged looks before running after him. The ran outside of the palace to find Noyz digging at the hard ground frantically trying to dig up the grave.
Her fingers were bloody but when something from underneath the ground pushed dirt up trying to claw it's way out there was no mistake, Boyz was alive as well.
Setsuna ran to help unbury the boy how was frantically trying to get out. Kurai just stood there unable to move entranced with the seen. Alexial stood at her side deep in thought as Setsuna and Noyz finally uncovered the boy.
Noyz practically strangled her brother in happiness that he was alive. The scene was getting bizarre with the barrage of things happening thus far in the span of a few minutes.
Boyz gasped and clung to his sister tears spilling down his face as he tried to formulate words. "I...s-ss..-aw a wo-wo-wo...wom..-an" was all he got out before gasping again.
"A woman?" cried Kurai rushing over to the brother and sister. "Yeah there was a woman she was pretty hot too. She said it was time we all went back. She said we didn't deserve to die like we did. We deserved the chance to some back since YHWH was the one that caused all this shit to happen and the real 'God' has woken up." came a male voice from behind Setsuna.
Setsuna turned to find Kato standing against the wall casually covered in dirt and blood, he had dug himself out of the grave they had buried him in after the fight with YHWH.
"What are you waiting for Setsuna don't you want to give me a kiss or some crap I mean yeah you dig up the kid over there and then not me what the fucks up with that you little bitch I would kick your ass but the lady said not to mess up the bodies right after we got them. It's pretty fucking cool if you ask Me." shrugged Kato smirking.
"COOL! YOU ASSHOLE THAT'S ALL YOU CAN SAY AFTER WHAT JUST HAPPENED!" screamed Boyz at him pissed off at Kato already.
"My god kid shut up or I'll have to kick your ass too. man Setsuna you can close your mouth now it's starting to collect dust, I mean I know I'm sexy and the bomb and the shit and the person you have hot sweaty wet dreams about but come on I'm not that wonderful." replied Kato to the awed look on Setsuna's face.
"Kato you asshole!" shouted Setsuna jumping on him and mauling him wildly. "Alright alright stop it or I'll have to grope you Setsuna." said Kato pushing Setsuna off of him.
"You really are a bitch Kato ya know that." replied Setsuna helping him up off the ground.
"Yeah I know and everyone loves It." stated Kato as if it where as clear as day.
"I saw the girl too. She seemed odd." said Alexial to no one in particular.
"What girl?" asked Kurai.
"Like I said she was hot and she's told us to keep these bodies in good condition at least until the 'fun' started. Other than that all I can say is she had a nice body." replied Kato to Kurai.
"Retard." said Kurai, Boyz, and Setsuna in unison.
Sara came running towards them from inside and said "Something is wrong with Lil she's passed out and it's like she's dead except she's not exactly her body is changing into what it was like before!"
"Wait you mean she's turning into Ruri?" asked Setsuna running in with her.
"Yeah." answered Sara running in.
As she and Setsuna ran in they found Ruri sitting there on the floor looking up at them with a look of confusion on her face "Sara. Where am I?" was what she said before slumping over onto the floor.
Sara ran to her and tried to wake her but was unsuccessful in her attempts. It was than that Alexial and Kurai walked in to find them sitting there on the floor.
They both exchanged looks at what just happened. Ruri laid unconscious on the floor with her human body back and her clothes torn from the fact that she was bigger than she was when she was in her angel body.
Alexial walked over to the body of the unconscious girl and picked her up saying "Kurai we should put her somewhere."
Kurai cast Sara and Setsuna a look and said "I'll be right back okay." as she ran off to find a place to put Ruri with Alexial following.
"Well now this is quite interesting isn't It." stated Kato from behind them.
"Where are Noyz and Boyz?" asked Sara.
"Outside still." replied Kato casting a glance at Setsuna.
"Why are we back Setsuna?" questioned Kato looking for answers.
"I don't know Kato, I really don't what happened." replied Setsuna looking away.
The three of them all jumped when they heard the cry of a horse loud and shrill throughout the whole palace. They heard it galloping through the halls. They didn't know where it was the sound was all around them. That was when the heard cackling. Their attention focused in one the letters at their feet that seemed to appear with the cackling.
Then it stopped. The letters at each of their feet seemed to be awaiting and taunting them to open it at the same time. Setsuna reached down and found that he had two. He took the one on top and opened it first.
Warm regards to whoever is reading this...
Well you may notice some changes about yourself, these are compliments of my Mistress.
To those of you who thought yourself dead, welcome back.
Heaven and Hell are fighting a war one will lose.
The Evils are trying desperately to fight for their own precious Gehenna, but of course what they really want is the overtaking of the losing side of this little war.
Until then their just bidding their time.
My Mistress has healed the damage done by YHWH, whom was destroyed by the "Savior".
You will see that things have changed drastically despite the fact that most of you haven't been gone long (if at all).
There's a new god , or rather one that's just been sleeping, reigning in Heaven.
YHWH was his own creation and well...successor hahaha.
The little "Savior" of both Heaven and Gehenna isn't alone, Hell has found their own savior, namely my Mistress.
You're alive, or healed rather, from the what was caused by the old "God".
My Mistress trusts you to keep these bodies in good condition until she makes her own appearance.
Now that all the sides are even let your foolish war and her game begin.
-Fiend Trumpeter-
-Mistress A.-
Setsuna's look of shock was replaced by one of confusion as he and the others read the letters they had. They were all the same as the first one he had. They all looked at him as he finished.
"Trumpeter huh. I thought I heard a trumpet going off when I woke up in the ground." said Kato thinking intently on the subject.
"It's kind of odd." replied Sara about the letter.
"Yeah it is. I bet it's a magic trumpet. That's fucking amazing I've never heard of a magic trumpet before." said Kato thinking she was talking about what he had said.
"That's not what she meant retard." said Setsuna hitting him over the head with his hand.
"Yeah I mean whoever the lady is she sounds like she already knows what's going to happen." replied Sara.
"Probably because she does." came Alexial's voice as she and Kurai entered the room.
"How is this even possible I thought I was you." said Setsuna.
"I wasn't when I left your body how is this confusing?" asked Alexial understanding perfectly.
"I meant how can you have your own body." replied Setsuna still confused.
"You're my reincarnation Setsuna I have a soul too you know." stated Alexial.
"Oh yeah I guess that makes sense, sort of." said Setsuna thinking on the subject.
"Setsuna you have another letter why don't you open it?" said Sara pointing to the unopened letter in his hand.
"You guys got them too?" questioned Kurai.
"Yeah." replied Kato as Setsuna walked away from them all to read his letter in semi-privacy.
Savior/Little Boy,
Now that I've got your attention listen up.
Do me the courtesy of making sure those friends of yours keep their bodies alive.
You should go back to "normal" life.
You can't change the facts but you can ignore them, so live as a human.
Fight if you want, but this little fools' war is going to be fought in Assiah, your Earth.
Time for some fun "Savior", so let's get started hahahahahaha.
You've got Heaven, Hell, Angels, Devils, and everything in between with all eye on you, but that will change.
Kid you're stealing my spotlight here.
I've got scores to settle, angels to mangle and maim, minds to corrupt, and be the demon the made me hehehe.
So I hope to see you soon. I mean after all I'm not that hard to miss little boy.
My my my look at how all the little puppets dance on my stage.
I'm not one for sermons and "God" because what has always been "God" is merely the one with the most toys, don't understand, don't worry, you will soon enough.
I've got things to do now and writing this has gotten boring.
Time to go reacquaint myself with my little friends, the blood, the blades, the guns, the sparks, the fire.
I wouldn't necessarily say I'm dangerous because dangerous is such a strong word and from all the things you do it seems to equal fun, same goes for me kid.
I'm anxious to meet you "Savior" and of course Alexial, the princess, your dead friend made by Uri (he has a strange taste in woman I might add did you know she looks exactly like your sister, what are the odds), you lover/your sister/that girl, and that dead boy with the one wing who seems so much fun already.
Are you scared at how much I know about you?
Well are you?
Don't be.
There are other things about me to be scared about.
Watch out I could be anywhere you think of even without the Hatter's help.
Oh yes I guess I should mention that too.
Hatter is the one who got me out of Heaven so being the nice person I am I've decided to help Hell.

-Atayla-
"Wow now that was entertaining." said Kato from over Setsuna's shoulder.
"Kato you ass go the fuck away I'm reading! Shouted Setsuna at his friend.
"You've finished reading though." replied Kato smiling a little.
Thus sparked a fight between the two moronic teenagers as they went at each other's throat until someone decided this was getting old and tore them away from each other.
Yetzirah (Heaven, lower four levels)
Barbiel sat there by Raphael�s side watching him as he laid there in his cold sleep. A frown crossed her delicate features as she thought on what would happen in the ten years he was destined to sleep for.
He had saved her and now she would have to wait diligently for him to wake up. So she sat there falling asleep from sitting there staring at an unmoving body for the last 14 hours.
Sure Raphael was a good-looking guy but even Barbiel didn't want to stare at him for 14 hours to see if by some small chance he would wake up early.
Raphael on the other hand was having the time of his life sleeping. He would have been dreaming about hot, sexy, young things dancing around in bikinis offering him tropical drinks on a white sanded beach with Barbiel sitting on top of him in a bikini too. The best part was he had ten years to live out all his perverted fantasies in his dreams.
That was until Atayla entered his head. Though still very much present in Shukra sitting in her chair her mind was now on Raphael's perverted beach party.
"YOU LECHEROUS SON OF A BITCH!" was what Raphael heard as he fell out of his lounge chair and was jolted back to semi-reality which in his head had turned into a scary place with him chained to a chair with a woman screaming at him.
He really hoped it wasn't Barbiel coming to beat his ass. Though if this was a dream it could be slightly erotic, but still Raphy wasn't into S&M. Though he would be willing to give it a try after all he wasn't really in a position to argue at the moment.
"PAY ATTENTION!" snapped the female voice once again bringing Raphael's attention back to the situation at hand. He looked up to see Atayla looking down at him with a sneer.
"Alright good now that I have your attention it's time for you to wake up and get back to heaven lover boy. That cute nurse of yours is practically crying at your bedside while you're having wet dreams." said Atayla angrily.
"Hey she was in them!" snapped Raphy back at Atayla not liking the conversation already.
"Whatever you horney mutt. Here's the deal I'm waking you up early and that's that so get over it and deal with it 'cause I'm not in the mood for fighting right now." replied Atayla.
"What the hell are you talking about crazy dream lady?" asked Raphael confused.
"Let's just say It'll all be explained when you wake up okay? Good. Now wake the fuck up!" yelled Atayla at Raphy sending him back into reality.
Barbiel was just about to fall asleep from the exhaustion when she heard "Damn it!" come from the bed in front of her. Looking up she saw Raphael sitting up in the bed.
Her jaw dropped as she jumped onto the bed and tackled him with a hug. "Well now I should be in a coma more often if this is the treatment I get when I wake up. Barbiel babe I know you're excited to see me but I can't fool around with you just yet I just woke up." said Raphy with a smirk on his face.
The smirk was wiped of his face with a smack and a tearful hello from Barbiel "You stupid, ignorant, jerk, ass, basterd, son of a bitch!" shouted Barbiel with a smile on her face.
"Well I missed you too Barbs." was Raphy's reply as he looked down to find a note clutched in his hand.

Anima Mundi Headquarters (Heaven, Yetzirah)
The Harlot had been kind enough to drop Zaphikel, Anael, and Shateiel off at the Anima Mundi's front step. She hadn�t said a single word to them but took them there from Hades.
When they finally arrived Zaphikel turned his head and muttered small thank you. With a nod of her head The Harlot merely smiled her skull smile and left them there.
Zaphikel, still carrying an unconscious Anael in his arms walked up the steps with Shateiel almost hiding behind him as he went. He entered to find the place as busy as ever, even in his absence it still was his home after all.
As soon as heads turned to see who had so blatantly decided to barge in jaws dropped and anything anyone was holding did to. I didn't take long for someone to realize who they were staring at and run off to go find Raziel.
Zaphikel just stood there staring back at them before a boyish figure came running down the stairs having just found out that his dead mentor was there, alive and well.
Raziel almost fell down the stairs as he took them three at time running as fast as he could. He caught himself on the banister and righted himself. He came to a stop when he was a bout three feet in front of them.
"Lord Zaphikel..." was all he said trailing off the tears forming in his eyes as he saluted Zaphikel.
"Raziel it's good to see you again." replied Zaphikel with a smile appearing on his face for the humor of what he just said.
Raziel really did look exactly like Anael almost like mother and son. Though in his head Zaphikel was screaming to himself that that couldn't be possible he knew it was true. From the moment of his death when he could see his face he knew Raziel was his own flesh and blood son.
The female hiding behind Zaphikel ran forward and literally jumped on Raziel clinging to him. All Raziel saw was the one wing on her back and the look of surprise entered his eyes once again wondering if this was real. Looking up at him with tearful eyes was Shateiel, the one angel he had cared for and then killed because of his own stupidity.
His mind screamed that it wasn't his fault and that this wasn't possible and that it didn't matter. His mind was reeling when he saw Zaphikel walk closer to him.
Shateiel slumped into his arms knowing she was safe having found Raziel and passed out from exhaustion happily. Zaphikel smiled and said "Looks like she found what she was looking for, I was wondering why she was brought here with us. She was the one from the slums, one you buried."
Raziel merely nodded crying still as the tears ceased to stop he let out a shaky reply. "Y-y...-yes."
Ironic as it seemed both of them had been reunited with the ones they loved whom had been killed out of their own foolishness. Father and son, husband and wife, boy and girl, lover and killer. They were all present between the four people.
Zaphikel merely looked over to the side and motioned to one of his subordinates handing Anael to him and saying "Put her in the med lab and her too. We can't just leave them out here they have to be treated."
Raziel let them take Shateiel out of his reluctant arms and fell to his knees on the floor his head in his hands he sat there and cried. Cried for having them back. Cried for the things he did and the pain he caused. Cried everything out of him until Zaphikel put his hand on his head and said to him "It's all right we're alive and we're not going to leave you again sweet Raziel."
Raziel looked up and hugged the man he knew as his mentor, a friend, and a father in a different way then he would soon find out. "...h-h-how-..a..re-...you back." sobbed Raziel crying into Zaphikel's chest as clung to him tighter not caring that he was acting like a child.
"She was an angel. She was beautiful and kind. She brought us back because she didn't like the way things had happened, the way 'God' had made things. She was sad and full of hate for what had happened to everyone who died." replied Zaphikel thinking back on Atayla and the things she had told him.
"A-A-A...-A..l-lex..-ial brought you back?!" sobbed out Raziel hysterically hppy at what was happening.
"No. She wasn't Alexial. She was harsher than Alexial, it was like meeting all of your fears in one person. She scared me with what she could do if she willed it. She was fierce and there was hatred coming off her in waves, but there was something else there too..." replied Zaphikel.
"You've grown up Raziel. You look like the leader you're meant to be." stated Zaphikel happily.
Raziel looked up in shock and touched Zaphikel's face. He looked right into his eyes and Zaphikel just stared right back at him. There was more crying after that.
"You can see you jerk why didn't you say something!" cried out Raziel laughing.
"I thought you knew sorry." answered Zaphikel apologizing.
Raziel stopped crying and stood up. He rose to a standing position and saluted Zaphikel again. "Lord Zaphikel I hereby with the authority of the Anima Mundi relieve my position as leader back over to you." stated Raziel with a stern expression on his.
Zaphikel stood as well and saluted back. "Thank you sir." was his reply showing his respect for Raziel.
They both let out a smile at the exchange. Raziel and Zaphikel both walked towards the medical facility in the headquarters (aka Zaphikel's manor) to check on the woman who had been brought there.
Atziluth (Heaven, 1st level)
Einthe was ecstatic at the way things were turning out at the moment. After all what more could he have hoped for than to have both halves of Adam Kadamon alive and well once again?
The person at his side moved quietly and said nothing. Einthe smiled at the thought of having the inorganic angel awakened to find out that the one he loved so dearly was alive as well.
Of course though Katan had a new body he was still Katan. Einthe had the council make the dead angel a new body so that when Rosiel awoke he would have his "son" back with him.
There wasn't much the council could do with Katan's mind though. After his death he and the two halves of Adam Kadamon didn't live happily ever after. They went on to wherever they went off to. For Katan the place where he ended up wasn't all too pleasant.
His mind had rotted and all that was left was an unpleasant mush of hatred that spawned from all though years Rosiel had control over him. Of course Rosiel still had control over Katan even now when Katan's hatred burned in his head.
Einthe though it was amusing that Rosiel, the one that had tried to control everything to get what he wanted, was now like a animal in a cage. There wasn't much for Einthe to do with Rosiel now except use him as a toy for his own agenda.
Walking into the room there he was. Curled up on the floor unmoving, unthinking, a shell of his former sadistic glory. Rosiel laid there his eyes glazed over like a forgotten child left all alone with no one to listen to him crying.
"So...are you ever going to get up?" asked Einthe walking over and kicking Rosiel lightly with his foot nudging him. He just laid there still not doing anything. The only indication that he was alive was the fact that his chest moved up and down with his breathing.
"I even brought you a guest see how nice I am..." said Einthe trailing off unimpressed with the lack of emotion coming from the angel on the floor. "Katan come here." commanded Einthe looking down at Rosiel.
Katan came over and bent down to Rosiel's level on the floor. Katan had a new body to replace the one Rosiel had accidentally destroyed. He had a child like body. The silver hair and silver eyes stared down at his former master. His mind full of spite and hate over what had been done to him by Rosiel.
Rosiel didn't even move. "What a bore you are Rosiel. You're no fun at all." huffed Einthe getting bored. "I would have thought that one of the halves of Adam Kadamon would be interesting but I guess not." mused Einthe thinking of the great angel who rivaled even his power.
Now Adam Kadamon was gone. Well at least in body since Rosiel and Alexial were back. Atayla had brought Alexial back and that brought Rosiel back. You can't get rid of "Time" and that is exactly what Adam Kadamon was.
The cruel angel from which all newborn angel's fed off of. Forever in pain and hating God for what he had done by creating it. It's love for the angels that fed off it kept it living in vain to bring life to the new angels born into Heaven.
'Poor little savior thinking you killed one of my best creations how silly you are.' thought Einthe on the subject.
Adam Kadamon still lived locked up between Heaven and Assiah in a realm only God could get to. Time imprisoned forever, keeping the balance in order for as long at it was there.
All angels fed off of it as Alexial had fed of off the Tree of Knowledge. Such an action was consider blasphemy and she was cast out of heaven for such an offense. The Tree of Knowledge; Adam Kadamson�s evil left eye as it was. Since all angels fed off of Adam Kadamon to live shouldn't they be judged as Alexial?
No. They merely would never be allowed to be one with God. They were to be reborn and reborn and reborn until the death of Time. Which would never happen. All angels died and lived again. Einthe lived a sorrowful existence. None of his creations would be reunited with him, ever.
God cannot die if a part of him is left behind. As long as all hid children lived he would have to too. There was no peace for God and that was how it would always be. Living forever as the torment of his work eats away at the fabric of whatever made him God to begin with.
All that can ever come of Heaven was equilibrium. A cycle to go on and on and on and on forever. Until another thing like YHWH came along because God got bored.
"Well now Rosiel I must say your quite the bore today and I don't much like boring things so you can lay there all you want for now I don't have any use for you at the moment..." mused Einthe motioning to Katan to stay there as he left the room.
Sheol (Hell, lowest level)
"Well now she has quite a temper." said Atayla as she step to the right to avoid having what appeared to be a dagger thrown into her head.
"She's not always like this." replied Belial.
The two had wandered into Barbelo's territory and were greeted with things being thrown at them. Barbelo was awake and that was more or less a good thing. Atayla had had Trumpeter revive everyone who had died and that included the Satan of Wrath.
At the moment Barbelo wasn't too happy over the present situation. Belial and Atayla merely exchanged glances as Barbelo went on screaming at them.
Barbelo's realm was certainly almost as decadent as Asmodeus' was but that was only to be said about the inside of the manor she resided in. Outside the landscape was barren and pesky demons roamed about looking for a something to kill.
Barbelo still kept throwing things and kept tearing apart everything in her wake. Little imps tried to calm her only to be thrown across the parlor they were all standing in.
"GET OUT ALL OF YOU NOW!" was all she kept screaming.
"Well isn't she lovely. Hatter I'm not in the mood to be getting angry right now I'm leaving." stated Atayla leaving the room to get back to Sheol.
"Yes. I would have to agree. Barbelo dear when you are in a better mood I'll be back." was all Belial said as she left with Atayla to get back to Hell.
"She was certainly charming." said Atayla as they returned to Sheol.
"Isn't she." replied Belial.
"I suppose now it would be time to go and fill the Demon Lord in on the situation, wouldn't you think Belial?" asked Atayla as they walked down the corridor towards Lucifer's throne room.
"Where did you think I was leading you Atayla?" questioned the Hatter with a smirk as she opened the doors.
Lucifer sat there on his throne as if nothing had happened. He was dressed with demons at his side ready to take his commands. Belial went down on her knee to bow to her lord. Atayla merely stood there staring at the great Lucifer.
Atayla was wearing her mask again and the cloak. She really didn't want to, but Belial had insisted. "Belial car to explain?" drawled Lucifer leaning back in his throne.
"I'm sure you already know my Lord. Since in your absence I am decreed by you to be in charge of the affairs of Hell I took it upon myself to go on with our ideals of taking control of Heaven." replied Belial smirking as she got up to a standing position to face Lucifer.
"Of course. I could care less. I only want to know why am I back." stated Lucifer his gaze flicking over top Atayla.
"Our Savior brought you back. The savior thought it would be to Hell's benefit to have our Lord back on his throne, alive and well." replied Belial turning to Atayla.
"Savior. I'm sure. Belial I don't like it when you do these things to mock Hell. This 'Savior' is nothing more than a toy of yours and I will not have you destroying the very thing I just died for. Hell is mine. It would be to your benefit if you remembered that." threatened Lucifer.
"Of course my Lord." replied Belial bowing once again.
"As for this 'Savior' they should know now that Hell does not need assistance in taking over Heaven. This 'Savior' is nothing more than a pawn to end up most likely killed in the end." hissed Lucifer at Atayla.
Atayla smirked underneath her mask and in a flash was at the side of Lucifer's throne. In his ear Atayla whispered "It would be in your best interest not to make me angry Lucifer. I brought you back from death. I don't give a shit how you feel because of that because to me it doesn't matter where you're alive or off crying to yourself because your dear Alexial doesn't love you. You're a child who likes picking the wings off flies. You are weak and stupid. Don't mock what I can do or you will regret it little boy."
Atayla merely step away after saying that and was gone. No flash, no tricks, just gone. She vanished leaving Belial and Lucifer in the room. "Leave me Belial. I don't wish to look at that clown face of yours now." said Lucifer in spite.
"As you wish my Lord." replied Belial leaving the room. Lucifer sat there steaming at the insolence of Hell's so called Savior. He was pissed over the things she had dared to say to him and what was worse was that they were true.
Atayla and Belial were back in Belial's realm. They sat there in one of the Hatter's odd rooms. It was a parlor of sorts with table and chairs and odd trinkets here and there.
"I suppose we have done all we have had to do now Atayla." stated Belial taking a sip of the tea in her hand. She sat there in a chair at one of the iron wrought tables in the room with a tea set in front of her.
Atayla lounged on one of the couches looking up at the ceiling and replied "Not just yet I have to do one more thing first." Atayla thought on the one last task she had to complete before the game was to begin.
"Ah yes I forgot about Jibril." said Belial looking over at Atayla.
"Yes she's quite forgettable. I'm afraid she doesn't like me too much though." replied Atayla thinking of the elemental angel.
"Now why is that?" asked the Hatter.
"Don't be nosy Belial it's not a very becoming trait. Let me just say she and I don't get along very well considering things that happened involving us and a few other angels in the past." said Atayla still looking up at the ceiling.
"Well then if you're going back to heaven I have to give you something different to wear." mused Belial looking Atayla up and down eyeing the black and red dress she had forced Atayla to wear before.
"Dress me up in your love baby." replied Atayla sarcastically looking over at Belial as she got up off the couch and followed Belial into the other room so she could dress her up like a doll again.
Atziluth (Heaven, 1st level)
"My what a lovely place to sit forever like a doll Jibril." remark Atayla as she walked through the water garden. Jibril sat there on her small little throne like a doll not moving or saying a word.
Atayla walked up to the small throne and ran her hand over Jibril's cheek thinking of what had happened between the two of them in the past. Jibril hated her and vice versa. They were opposites and looked at each other as such.
Atayla stood there wearing a gown of white. It was long enough to trail behind her. Like the other one she was wearing before it had a V- neck front that ended above her waist. The folds covered her chest perfectly. Belial certainly did know how to dress someone.
It had layers and it shimmered in the with the light that reflected of the water of the garden around her. Belial had done Atayla's hair in ringlets and let them hang loose around Atayla's face.
She was wearing lacey white kid gloves and a pair of silk white heeled slippers. All together she looked like an angel. Pure and respectable like she once was in the eyes of Heaven.
"Who are you?" came a voice from behind her. Atayla turned around to see a child standing there. Metatron just stared at Atayla. "Ah little I could ask you the same thing." replied Atayla squatting done to Metatron's level.
The child king just stared up at her and said "I wanted to see Jibril." Atayla just smiled and responded "So did I."
Metatron smiled and asked again "Who are you?"
Atayla let out a little laugh before answering. "I guess you could say I'm a guest little one. Now I must ask you what are you doing here so far away from your nurses?"
"They're scary. I like you better will you be my nurse. You're pretty like. Jibril's pretty too." said the child smiling.
Atayla chuckled it had been awhile, if ever, that anyone called her pretty. "Well now I can't be your nurse but I promise you'll see me again. Until then you have to be good little one okay?" asked Atayla.
"Okay! I'm Metatron by the way." replied Metatron enthusiastically.
"Well then Metatron I'll just have to call you Meta since it sounds cuter don't ya think?" asked Atayla smiling.
"I like that. What should I call you?" replied Metatron giggling as Atayla picked him up in her arms.
"You can call me Tay Tay." replied Atayla bringing Metatron over to Jibril.
"Now give Jibril a kiss because the next time you come here she won't be here Meta." said Atayla
"Why is that?" questioned the child after he gave the blue haired angel a kiss on the cheek.
"She is going to be awake that's why and she will have lots of things to do. She is a very busy angel you know." replied Atayla smiling at the child.
"Really? Lady Jibril's going to wake up!?" cried out the child happily.
"Yes. Now you have to be a good little boy and get back to your nurses." replied Atayla putting the little boy down.
"Okay!" and with that Metatron ran off out of the garden turning back only to wave to Atayla who blew him a kiss in return. The child laughed and ran off to find his nurse.
"Now now Jibril it seems you have an admirer, for once." Atayla laughed at the irony of what she had just said. "I suppose I should give you your soul back after all it only seems right. Besides I don't like talking to dolls." stated Atayla moving over to Jibril's side and turning her head so it faced hers.
Atayla's mouth latched onto Jibril's and a rush of energy went from her body to Jibril's. A flush of memories went too. Atayla felt movement come from the angel and jumped away just as she was about to be pushed off of Jibril.
"How dare you, you horrid wretch!" shouted Jibril at Atayla.
"Oh now is that the greeting I get from giving you back your soul?" replied Atayla smirking as she kept her distance from the elemental angel.
"You! What are you doing in Heaven?!" cried out Jibril.
"Don't get all pissy at me I can be here whenever I want Jibril after all it's not like Einthe minds, I am the one he loves you know." answered Atayla with a smirk on her face.
"You bitch!" screamed Jibril lunging at her.
"Oh come on we both know that I could care less about his infatuation with me Jibril. It's you that is angered by It." stated Atayla jumping out of reach.
Jibril let out a howl as she missed Atayla. Atayla sneered at the female angel that hated her so much. She appeared at her side and said in her ear "What bothers you more Jibril that after everything he still doesn't love you he still loves me or that even the child of yours that he fathered ended up my lover?"
"How dare you say that!" shouted Jibril stopping her actions to face Atayla. "I did what was expected of Me." replied Jibril.
"Oh yes, what was expected of you. You became his whore and bore his children like the good little wife you were. It's like a bible story. Oh wait that's your whole life. Adam and Eve, Lilith, Cain and Abel. It's all here." replied Atayla smirking.
"What about you you're a whore that did everything for herself. You are Lilith you always were. I was a good wife and I did what I had to do for Heaven!" shouted Jibril angered by Atayla's words.
"And look how it turned out for you. God made man in his image; Adam. God is man and you as Eve, his faithful wife. Me as the evil whore that left the garden because I would not stand to be anything but equal to a man. Your children Cain and Abel. Cain ended up eating Abel and was banished. Quite sad that both the ones you love are under my influence. Cain and me of course we hate each other but despite that we were once lovers. Of course then there's Einthe who is well forever after me. Does it burn you that much Jibril?" asked Atayla.
"You ruined it all. Everything happened because of you. You never cared or did anything for Heaven. You hate it all and do it to spite us!" screamed the hysterical angel.
"Of course look at what Heaven did to me I could care less about you or anything else in this stinking cesspool of you filth. If I could I'd burn it all down and watch you all burn in your own sin." replied Atayla calmly.
"Why do you care about that?! Why are you doing this!?" yelled Jibril the tears running down her face despite her anger.
"Because I'm bored and I don't owe you any more of an explanation. Goodbye Jibril. Hell will defeat Heaven and all the angel's will die. It's wonderfully perfect and I'm going to help it happen. So for now do what you want and wallow in your own hate of me I could care less." was Atayla's goodbye to the angel on her knees in the water garden.
That was how the nuns found her. Jibril on her knees crying and cursing Atayla.
