Chapter 7 - Genesis 1:6 “Preparing For The Inevitable”

"Let's go back." Those were the words Lucifer said as Hazuno and Lucifer went back to Hazuno's apartment, making sure Lucifer kept his sunglasses and face mask on to avoid a mountain of people wanting to taken Lucifer's autograph. When the duo head back to their apartment Hazuno took his sunglasses and face mask off as he breathed heavily to fresh air with Lucifer seemingly copying him as Hazuno knew he didn't even need to breathe. Hazuno looked at Lucifer as he knew he had to do something if he were to survive the apocalypse that was about to come, but didn't know what to do as all of this information is fresh for the college student. Hazuno then got out his phone as he started to try and search for something, if anyone had any answers for this mess. When he first opened the search app, he saw a mountain of news articles along with mountains of searches when he tried to search something with the most popular being 'Can I get into God's New Kingdom?' He didn't want to search that so he decided to go on twitter and it blew up as well with the most popular tag being '#WereAllGonnaDie as he clicked on it he saw millions of posts saying their goodbye from Twitter along with how they're going to try and repent, even the most chill was crying in 'apology' posts for petty stuff they did. The most baffling he saw was a person called 'THE GOAT' who was a white man from America who's known as uncancellable and someone with 'dark humor' as he had a mountain of fans who the majority were white and defended his actions even though he was caught and called out multiple times for his racist remarks against minorities along with even saying racial slurs on camera as his fans defended his actions by saying it was just 'dark humor' and how the people who didn't like him were 'soft' or 'didn't get it' as he was 'obviously joking' was now saying that this apocalypse isn't real and that he couldn't wait to meet satan as he put on a hashtag saying #Cantwaittomeetsatan As Hazuno observed this person called 'THE GOAT,' he couldn't help but feel a mix of confusion and concern. It was disheartening to witness someone with such a large following who consistently spewed racist remarks and used racial slurs, all while being defended by his fans. The fact that his actions were dismissed as mere "dark humor" only added to the perplexity. Now, in the midst of the current crisis which was the world about to end it appeared that 'THE GOAT' was using his platform to spread his own opinion about the severity of the situation and made it as another attempt at getting views and for his humor to be edgy. Posting hashtags like #Cantwaittomeetsatan seemed to be a callout to gain attention rather than a genuine noticing of what is going on. It further emphasized Hazuno's unease towards this individual and the influence he held over his followers. It was disheartening to witness such behavior, particularly during a time when unity and understanding were needed the most. Hazuno couldn't help but question why someone with such a significant platform would choose to spread this amount of stupidity rather than take it seriously, but it was twitter so of course people on there acted like this. He felt like commenting but knew it would do nothing but make him receive a mountain of hate comments along with people commenting that it's 'just a joke' as he simply sighed as suddenly his phone shut off as Hazuno felt confused, 'Was this supposed to happen?' Hazuno thought as he didn't know what was going on 'I could've sworn that my battery was charged…' when he tried to turn on his phone again it didn't work as the battery has somehow died as he seemed concerned with Lucifer coming from behind and whispering in this ear saying "Shh…it's time to rest now, we have a long day head of us don't we?" Lucifer said with a comforting tone as Hazuno didn't want to go to bed now, especially with what happened. But he said nothing as he was talking to Lucifer himself and he thought the demon would just make him go to sleep anyways so he obeyed as he got into something comfortable and went to sleep. Although it was hard as the ruler of hell slept beside him, it didn't help that he only watched Hazuno as his eyes glowed like an unnatural light but it didn't blind his eyes, finally after a while he managed to go to close his eyes and go into a deep slumber. He knew tomorrow was going to be a long day…

As the leader of the Archangels, Michael waited with a bored look on his face, he didn't expect the other archangels and seraphim's to take so long. Maybe it was because they had to explain to their champions what was going on? They didn't really have time before God's attempt at the cleanse in the first place as he saw Gabriel arrive with a small smile on his face as he simply greeted Michael before saying the times that the other archangels and seraphim's will arrive "As expected of God's messenger" Michael said as Gabriel nodded and took his seat as Gabriel said "Micheal, I am terribly sorry that the Seraphim's and Archangels will be late as they're currently busy with missions that God sent them on, but they will arrive soon. I know it." Gabriel said as he was always right with timing as the two engaged in small talk, talking about both their champions and how they both feel about the cleanse. In Gabriel's eyes he only knows that the cleanse will please God and how much he wants that with Michael firmly stating that the cleanse is for the best, along with all of God's best believers will become soldiers in his new plan, with God's plan they'll free sinners of all misfortune and they'll be reborn into being his believers once more, just how God intended. He had already given up on humanity once and he gave up on them again due to the current events that Earth faced. Michael simply sighed as he waited and wait he did as it was an hour until the rest of the archangels and seraphim's finally started to slowly show up, Michael was already asleep when Archangel Uriel first came. Although he is the smartest of all twelve Archangels he has no patience as he simply glares at Michael with Gabriel waking him up, Michael looked surprised to see Uriel as his side of the table was covered in drool when Michael was asleep, Uriel simply said "Why do you keep doing this with every meeting Michael? It's embarrassing at this point where I expect you to do such a thing." Although Uriel is the Archangel of Repentance he has no patience, especially to people he deems to not have time for.

When everyone arrives Michael looked relieved to see everyone as they all greeted each other with the leader of the Seraphim starting the meeting saying "I am terribly sorry for the wait, we may know why we're all here? If not then I will remind you. Gabriel has come from a message from God and has informed me about it, he says that he senses Lucifer is not dead but is actually alive and if God is correct he may have also have a champion, that is why we must come up with a plan to attack. Does anyone have any ideas on what we should do to find Lucifer?" The head Seraphim questioned as there was whispers all throughout the giant table as one of them says "What if we brought out one of the lower ranking angels? If they succeed we will know that Lucifer is not a threat to us anymore, but if they fail then we will know he is a threat, if we get another angel to examine the body and who the angel fights then we shall know who is Lucifer's champion so we can easily take them out." Everyone seemed to agree with the angel as another says "Which angel shall we choose to take out Lucifer and his champion? Any suggestions?" The people around the table started to think on who they should send as The Head Seraphim silenced them all and simply said "I have an idea"

Hazuno woke up the next day as he yawned, he had gotten a good nights sleep for the first time in a long time as he tried to look on his phone to see what the time is but it seems that Lucifer still turned off the phone which annoyed him, he didn't think this was that big of a deal though as he kept sleeping until hours passed with him finally waking up but not wanting to get up as Lucifer was on top of him smiling 'What does that blonde brute want?!' Hazuno thought as he looked annoyed and groggily said "What is it Lucifer…" Even though he was awake he was still tired as he noticed Lucifer holding his phone up to him as Hazuno went to inspect the time on his bed and saw he slept through his alarm and that his eyes widen as he saw the time "FUCK ITS TWELEVE THIRTY" Hazuno yelled as he immediately got out of bed, it was so quick that Lucifer fell on the bed as he looked at him giggling as Hazuno glared at him as he went to the closet and got some clothes then ran to the bathroom to put on his clothes, it was quick, too quick that he accidentally got stuck on his hoodie and had to take it off and put it back on as he finally got his clothes on as Lucifer peeked into the bathroom as he could see Hazuno aggressively brushing his teeth for a few seconds before spitting the toothpaste out and rinsing his mouth with water as he didn't even have time to do his hair as he rushed out the door which made Lucifer fall to the ground with a big 'thud'. Hazuno skipped breakfast as he went to the door to leave for college when he felt Lucifer get on his shoulders saying "Forgetting someone?" Lucifer says with a smirk as Hazuno punched him in the face which made him fall to the ground once again with a loud 'thud' as Hazuno yells "NO. I AM NOT DEALING WITH YOUR SHIT TODAY, YOU MADE ME LATE FOR HALF MY CLASSES" Hazuno yells as a few people stop to see what was going on, even Mr. Kenzo who overheard the whole thing with Lucifer saying "What about me? I want to go too." But when he tried to follow Hazuno the college student immediately slammed the door as he went down the apartment stairs and booked it to the university. 'Professor Watabe is gonna blow my head off!' Hazuno thought as he raced to the college and when he arrived he raced to the class as everyone was currently in a lecture being lectured by Professor Watabe as most seemed focus and were taking notes while others, especially from the back were sleeping. The only thing that could be heard was the professors voice until Hazuno bursts into the room and immediately yells out "IM SO SORRY IM LATE" as he gets on his knees with him in an apologetic position as he even puts his head on the floor as most were confused as other tried not to laugh at him, not because he was late but because of how he looked as Professor Watabe looked unimpressed with him saying "Well Ryo, you better have a good explanation as to why a student like you who is always on time for every class missed most of his classes." He said in a serious tone as he looked at Hazuno with a glare with Hazuno getting up and Professor Watabe's eyes widening as his face was different, having a marking on it as he immediately says "What happened to you?!" thats when Hazuno forgot to put his face mask and sunglasses on as the professor was staring at him in shock due to the mark on his face, it being red along with it looking beautiful as the professor looked concerned as he ushered him out of the room with the class being nervous, both for what the professor was so shocked about and if Hazuno was going to get told off off by the professor for being so late to class along with him not showing up to his other classes.
