Bethel's POV

Zasalamel brings his death Scythe Kafziel from the ground.  "Show me what you've got."

"Arrgghh!" I fly at him.

I attack over and over with everything I've got but he easily counters them.

"Entertain me." He said.

I'm panting heavily as I wipe the sweat off my head, I spawn another spear, throw it at him as a diversion then I go full speed for his legs.

He catches the spear and lifts his leg up on time to dodge my attack. "Too slow".  he said as he uses the spear to stab my shoulder then kicks me unto the barrier, I fall flat. "Get up..." He said.

I lie flat for a minute trying to catch my breath "urrhh!" I remove the spear from my shoulder then attack again.

He blocks then kicks the back of my right leg forcing me to kneel on it, he backs it up with a knee jab to my face.

"Gah!" I take a few steps backwards then clean the blood dripping from my nose.

"Is that all you have to offer?" He said mockingly.

"Arrgghh!" I shoot a sun ray blast at him.

"Weak." He spins his death Scythe Kafziel, using it to absorb the energy blast.

I lean on my spear panting...

"Let me show you." After absorbing the blast, he shoots it back at me with more power.

"Shit!..." I said as I stare at the blast coming at me.

Unable to dodge, I block it with my spear but it explodes. The explosion shakes the church.

"Noooo!" Ty cried from outside the barrier.

I am knocked out cold with bruises and injuries all over, clothes torn almost exposing my body and my wings partly burnt.

"I expected more from an Angel, you haven't managed to touch me. Such disappointment, it's been ages since I've seen my own blood." Zasalamel said.

Unconscious but I could hear every word...

"What a waste of my time." Zasalamel said as he walks away from me.

"Get up, please..." Ty cried.

"Bethel!" Ty yelled.

I gasp and open my eyes "ouch..."

"Done already?" Zasalamel said.

"Don't push your luck.".  I close my eyes and bow my head as I pray "Father, do not forsake me now when I need you the most. Grant me power so that I may complete my task. Amen"

A bright light covers all of my body as I transform, my wings, injures and bruises heal. My spear turns into a Trident and my torn clothes turn into armour.

"Wow...what is happening??" Ty asked.

"God is granting her the powers of an Archangel." Castiel replied.

"Thank you for granting me."   I open my eyes and stand.  "how about a rematch?"

Zasalamel laughs excitedly "Do not disappoint this time."

I shoot a sun ray energy blast at him, he tries to absorb it but it's far stronger and hotter than before, it knocks the death Scythe Kafziel off his hand then hit him but it does nothing.

"That's more like it."

I use my Trident to hit the ground, conjuring lots of Spears aimed at him, they penetrate his armour but they hardly enter his skin.

"Pathetic, I am still without a scratch. You're going to have to do better than that." He said.

"How about this?" I use my Trident to create a purple black lightning then strike Zasalamel with it.

He staggers a bit then regains balance "is that all? My turn."  He raises his hands, gathering energy, creating a very large fireball.

"Oh God..." Ty said.

"What monstrosity!" Flauros exclaimed.

"May you rest for eternity!" Zasalamel throws the massive fire ball at me.

It explodes, destroying everything around it but the barrier contains the destruction.

Ty closes his eyes as he looks away from the blast...

The blast leaves an unsettled wind, there's no sign of me but just a piece of my hair. Zasalamel picks up his death Scythe Kafziel "weak..." He said.

I silently appear at his back "think again...".  I use my Trident to slice his left arm but he uses his death Scythe Kafziel to stop the attack from cutting off his arm.

"Good!" He said as he kicks me.

I block it with the Trident then spawn another spear with my left hand fast enough to stab him in the chest.

He holds the spear trying to stop it from going deep into his chest. "Show me mooorree!" He yelled as  he uses his death Scythe Kafziel to hit me from above, I block it but the impact of the attack brings me to my kneels.

I break out and take a few steps backwards to regain balance.

Zasalamel laughs excitedly as he rubs his blood in his hand "Magnificent!"

"How'd that feel?" I asked.

"I've played long enough. This ends now..."

He comes at me as he spins his death Scythe Kafziel. We exchange multiple combos of attacks and blocks but I'm hardly keeping up with his strong attacks.

He lands a right jab on my waist then kicks me underneath my jaw, the  impact almost cracking my bone "urghh!" The kick sends me up into the air.

He jumps up to meet me, gives me a punch on my belly before I could retaliate. I crash into the ground causing a wave, he grabs the Trident falling in my direction and throws it at my left hand, nailing it to the ground.

"Uhh!" I exclaimed in pain.

He forcefully lands on my head, it causes another wave then he uses the bottom of his death Scythe Kafziel to stab my right shoulder also nailing it to the ground. He places his foot on my neck, ready to crush it...

"I win..." He said with a smile.

"Not yet." I said as I struggle to free my arms.

"I could crush your neck right now" he said.

"Then so be it!" I exclaimed.

He laughs dramatically "Such prestige".  he said as he removes his foot from my neck, making it easier to breath.   " You have the heart of a true warrior.".  He removes the Trident and death Scythe Kafziel from both my arms.  " I won't kill you..."

"Wasn't this a death match?" I asked as I struggle to stand.

"It was..."   He walks back to his chair as he wears his hooded cape.  " but you have showed the qualities of a true warrior just like Michael.  " He releases  the spell on Ty, Flauros and Castiel then undoes the barrier.

"And what about the spear?" I asked.

"You have earned it.".  He brings it out of thin air then uses telekinesis to move it into my hands. " That spear holds a very corrupt dark magic. Do not attempt to use it, the dark magic grows stronger the more it feeds on blood and it corrupts the welder's essence.

"Thank you..." I said.

"Thank you for the entertainment..." He snaps his fingers teleporting us back to the entrance of the abandoned van where Vlad and Krystal are waiting and keeping watch.

"You're back!" Vlad exclaimed.  "woah, you guys really made alotta noises."

I smile as I fall, losing consciousness, Ty catches me just in time.

"It's alright now..." He said as he rubs my hair.

"We need to tend to those wounds." Flauros said.

Somewhere on Earth

"Samyaza tried to have you killed??" Ramiel asked.

"She must want the power of the spear for her self, as it may seem I am down to only one more life." Asmoday replied.

"One? You should have two left, how did this happen!?"

"I believe the knife I was stabbed with was meant to kill me permanently."

Ramiel roars in anger.  " Summon Bune, Asmodeus, Balam, Beelzebub, Mundus and Amon. Kill everyone of the Watchers, we free Lucifer at dawn, go now Asmoday, I will retrieve the spear and deal with Samyaza myself. Make the necessary precautions and preparations, I do not want any further delays, attack all the hideouts at once."   He flies away.

"Yes Prince Ramiel." Asmoday replied.

Elizabeth's POV

I'm in a car with Bonnie, heading home. Alot had happen since Tyson left...

"Casey's so worked up about prom" Bonnie said.

"He's in charge and he wants it to be perfect, so I guess he has to be." I replied.

"I wonder who's gonna be prom king and queen. I bet your brother would have had the most votes."

"Maybe, maybe not. Let's not talk about him, please?"

"You always avoid questions about him."   She sighs.  " I need a pet..."

"So, get one."

"Too much stress to handle."

"Then you shouldn't..."

"Look out!" Bonnie exclaimed as she quickly turns the wheel to avoid hitting the lady standing in front of them. We crash into a wall...

"Urrhh..."  My sight is blurred and my head hurts "Bonnie?"

Bonnie's passed out, bleeding from a cut on her head...

"Oh no, Bonnie! Somebody help!"

The lady pulls out the driver's door...

"Hello dear..."  She knocks me out.  " if your brother won't cooperate then I will make him."
