March 7, 2018. The Sanctum, New YorkCity New York

The screams of Raziel echo and permeate the walls the Sanctum. Mezian has torn his arms off twice, legs off three times, and has broken every bone in his body more times that he can count. The ArchAngel laid on the table he strapped to crying from the pain he has been put in over the last few days.

Mezian smiles at him as he grabs a circular saw and begins to tear through Raziel's legs one more time. He begins to beg for mercy from Mezian.

Mercy?....Do you want fucking mercy? Where was the mercy for my wife and child? How many time did they beg for mercy? Huh? Where was the mercy when you killed my son? He was a child, ho do you kill a fucking child.And my wife what the fuck did she ever do to you assholes?Is it because she was associated with me? Huh? Was that is? Because she married me and loved me and gave me a family? She fucking loved me, and I loved her For the first time in all of my life I had someone who loved me for who I was. She didn't fear me, she didn't try to use me and all she wanted was for me to be happy.

YOU...TOOK...THAT......AWAY....FROM.....ME!!!!!!!

Mezian returned to cutting through his legs. One at a time, he tore through the skin and bones. Each vein and artery severed splattered more blood. It covered the walls ceiling, even leaving a small puddle under Mezian's feet. Which he occasionally would stomp his feet in to hear the splashing. It somehow gave him a perverse pleasure in the sounds of it.


Gaea opens the door to the roomMezina and Azriel are in, she sighs and walks over to Mezian.

You have been in here long enough. I need to get what we need from him. You can kill him after that.

Ha,ha, ha, stupid Primordial. He cants kill me here this is holy ground.

Mezian smiles at Azriel, as he walks out of the door.

Oh, Don't worry I have an answer for that problem. Hurry up with this I need to finish up my business with him. I'm gonna take a walk in the park

Okay I'll let you know when I'm done.

Gaea turned to the archangel and places her hand on his head.

This is going to hurt a lot. I will let you keep your personality and other important basic things. But I will take every memory involving the current situation, I want to know why you are killing us, whats the plan? I wanna find out why you actually killed his family. Like I said this is going to hurt, its an accommodation you didn't give Perrigern.

Gaea closes her eyes and begins to sort through the memories of the Angel.

Mezian is walking through the sanctum. he walked past the room that Azoth was in.He spoke to Mezian.

Mezian, Why do you torture a helpless man?

Because he deserves it. He tortured my wife and son and they were helpless. I feel no sympathy for him. the path he walks is his own. The fate has been given to him. He must deal with what comes with that.

How are you no different from him?He tortures so you torture? If he had killed hundreds of people, would you have as well?You can not let your grief disway you from your purpose.A Tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny. Remember that the ones who overthrow the tyrants are sometimes a tyrant themselves.

Mezian walks into the room. He stands toe to toe with the bigger Azoth. he stares into his eyes and speaks softly.

I want you to remember something. Azriel had the Sword of the Ancients. He could have killed you. He was going to kill you. He wiped your entire village out with a wave of his hand and didn't blink an eye.I have my reasons to hate Azirel, and to be honest so should you. So the next time you try and call me a tyrant for killing my enemies.Remeber you watched you people die and did nothing but get beat up by angels.

Azoth stares back at Mezian. He can see the hate and rage in his eyes. He knows that he too volatile to be dealt with using logic.He scoffs and walks back to his chair and sits staring at the wall.

You are too brash and violent for your own good Seraphim. It will be your downfall/

Awwww,Azoth you do care.You have been paying attention.Does this mean you love me?

No, Mezian I don't love you, it is quite the opposite.

Its called sarcasm Azoth you can try it sometime. You won't be so stuffy.

Azoth growls at Mezian. And Mezian smirks at him.He grabs his gear and heads out the door.Once he got outside He began to walk towards the lack near the entrance.

He began to walk around it. It was quaint and peaceful. There was an odd feeling all of the sudden. It wasn't sadness or despair. It felt very similar but different at the same time.It was something he hasn't felt in many many many years.

He started to search the surrounding area.He saw families, parents playing with kids, a kid running after each other. The feeling became stronger the closer he moved towards one of the families, The father was a tall thin man, his hair was salt and pepper. He was oblivious to his surroundings. The mother seemed more attentive, she seemed more aware of the people around her and where her children were.Her children were playing near the lake.The older of the two who is the boy leaned towards the lack staring at his reflection. The youngest of the two the girl.

She stood near a few geese, Her attention was affixed to the geese. To the point where she didn't notice her brother as she knocked him into the lack. The toddler fell, thrashing about and screaming. The screams were muffled by the water entering his mouth.
Mezian stood there he remembered how helpless he felt as he watched his son die. Although this was not the same the feeling was. He had no choice, he had to break a rule of the covenant.

3. No Seraphim will use his abilities to save or change the fate a mortal

Mezian hopped to underneath the boy and pushed him out of the lake. Mezian stood there the boy in hand he saw the woman up close and the feeling was mind-numbing. It was her It was Cortessa. He had not seen her in eighty years. Being a Seraphim she didn't age.She stood there in shock as she realized what just happened.She stared at her fellow Seraphim, with a look of surprise and fear.

Mezian?...Is that you? How are you still alive?

I have said it numerous time Tessa it's almost impossible to kill me. What are you doing here in New York?

My husband and I live here in New York. what are you doing here in New York?

You know the normal stuff. Sightseeing, shopping, a Broadway show or two and overthrowing a tyrannical Arch Angel lead council.

Oh that's great, I hear Hamilton is great.....Wait what? Are you overthrowing the council? How are you doing that?

Well I tried to do by myself but that didn't work out. I had to work for them for them for a few months and I killed Raziel.Then I found out they killed my family. So with the help of the Primordials, I have declared war on The Council. I need as much help as I can get.

I thought you had come to kill my family. Micheal sent a Seraphim to kill family twenty years ago. I haven't forgotten what they did while they made me watch.

Im sorry Tessa, I really am. I know how it feels. Come back to the sanctum with me and help me fight that asshole.No one will have to feel what we feel if we succeed.

Cortessa takes a moment and looks at the family she has now and begins to cry. One of her children comes over and hugs her. She tells her it will be okay.

So...what do we do now? I cant leave them, what if Micheal comes after them because of what I do now?

We can wipe their memories of you. that way they will never be a danger of being found. They will be safe from everything that can go wrong in this scenario. I promise, short of bringing them to the sanctum and them spending the rest of their life there its out best option.

Okay, can I say goodbye? I just don't want to disappear from their life without saying goodbye.

Yes, go say goodbye. I can at least give you that. I never got that chance. but we have to move. I have Azriel in the sanctum and there is little time left before the wards wear off.

Cortessa with tears in her eyes kissed her children goodbye.

Hey, you kids be good for your dad okay.

The children nodded and hugged her. Cortessa moved to her husband and hugged him kissing him gently on the mouth.

Goodbye, I'll miss you every day, you were the only thing that has ever brought me peace. For that I thank you.

The man pulls away from Tessa and looks at her...

Thank me for what? Who are you?....Come on kids lets go home.

And just like that, her life she knew was gone. She felt a mix of sorrow and relief. On one hand, she would never see her family again for the second time in the last thirty years.On the other hand, they would be safe from the megalomaniac that was Micheal.

Come on we have an Arch Angel to kill.

Tessa and Mezain made their way back to the Sanctum. The walk back was quiet and awkward. They had so much history and yet they had nothing to say to each other. They walked into the Sanctum met by Gaea with rage in her eyes.

HE DID IT, HE WAS THE ONE WHO DID IT. IM GOING TO FUCKING KILL HIM MYSELF.

Who Gaea? Who did what? Who are you going to kill?

Azriel, He killed Perrigren. That mother fucker tortured him and cut him up. I'm gonna kill him Mezian!

I understand what you are feeling right now Gaea. We can't just kill him without what we need from him. When its all said and done I have a place where he won't bother us ever again. You just have to trust me, you and Azoth both.Where is he anyway?
the sounds of Azriel screaming began again.The three of them stood and stared at each other. And in unison the realized.....
AZOTH!!!!!

The three of them ran to the holding room where the archangel was. The sight of Azoth tearing Azriel apart, limb from limb. It was disturbing, Tessa with a weaker constitution lost her lunch.Mezian went true form and grabbed the Primordial.

Azoth, if he is dead we won't get what we need from him. Your just wasting your time he cant die here.

I know this Mezian. I just want him to suffer a little longer. I want him to know pain like Perrigren did.

I know let Gaea get what we need and I will take care of it.

Azoth dropped the Angel onto the floor. His body made a wet thud as it hit the ground now a small lake of his blood. Mezian waited and watched as Azriel regrew his arms and legs. He stared at the man that had caused so much pain to everyone he cared about. He knew the exact place to take him.

On your feet motherfucker, I have some work to do.

Mezian yanked Azriel up by his still growing arm and stood him up.

What are you going to do Seraphim? Kill me? You know you cant, this is holy ground. I will.....

Mezian punches Azriel In the mouth.

You will shut your fucking mouth. You will stand still while Gaea goes through your memories. You will not say another word until I say so.

Mezian walked Azriel over to the weeping Gaea. He nodded towards the angel, Gaea placed her hands on his head. Azriel yelled out as Gaea scoured his memory fo the information they needed.Her face grimaced as she absorbed the memories, most likely because of the atrocities committed by Micheal and the rest of the council.

Do you have what we need?

Yeah, and more than I wanted. You can do what you were going to do.

Mezian smiles and looks at Azriel.

Got anything to say now? How about your sorry?

Azriel looks at Mezian with a dumb-founded look on his face. Mezian speaks to him again now in Seraph, still nothing. Then Angelic, still the same confused look.

Gaea, Why can't he speak?

I may have taken his ability to speak as well. I didn't want to hear his voice anymore.

Mezian smirks at Gaea.

Well that works. No for the End of Azriel......DAKETH ALBONEST EVECT LUCIFER!!!!(Dark lord, prince of darkness, come forth Lucifer)

What the fuck are you doing Mezian? You cant summon him here.

Once he is in Hell he cant get out. I'll make sure of it.

The ground shook, the lights grew dim and the smell of sulfur and smoke filled the Sanctum.Then a tall thin man with dark hair and steel blue eyes appeared in front of Mezian.

You rang? Mezian do you have the soul I wanted?

Ezariaha is off limits, she is a Seraphim now. But I have something better for you.

Mezian throws Azriel at the feet of Lucifer.

Are you kidding me? Did you bring me an Arch Angel? Is it my birthday? I didn't even get you anything.

A deal is a deal. I bring you a soul, you give me an army. But this is not just any soul, so I don't want just any army. I want your Daemons, I want our help whenever I need it.

You cant change the deal. It's not how this works. Who taught you how to negotiate for souls?

You did Luci, so do you want him or not? I can just kill him and go about my day or I can give him to you. You can torture him for all of eternity.I'll even make sure he cant leave hell.

Mezian took out Azriel's BoodSilver and stabbed him in the heart with it.

This way he can't leave your plane. He may die a bit quicker everytime but you can handle that cant you?

Lucifer smiled, staring Azriel

You're mine now. I didn't forget what you did to me. You and Micheal both, having me thrown out. I will take great joy in torturing you for eternity.

Oh and one more thing....

Mezian pulls out his sword and lops off Azriel's head.

I'm gonna need this, for a second.

Mezian pulls out his phone and takes and a picture of it. And sends an email.Mezian then puts the head back on his body and he watches as it regens the skin between the two objects.

Was that really necessary?

No, but it was fucking fun. Now, do we have a deal?

Lucifer stared at the hand of Mezian reluctantly

Yes, Mezian we have a deal. But we need to work on that negotiation skill of yours.

Lucifer then left with Azriel in hand. With a flash of fire, he was gone. The smell of smoke and sulfur filled the air again.Mezian and his allies returned to strategizing their next move.

Meanwhile somewhere hidden in the veil... Lord Micheal, we have an email from the traitor Mezian. Yes, What does the traitor say. I want to hear his pleas for forgiveness. Um, you are going to want to see this. Micheal took the laptop from the Lesser Angel and read the email.It was a picture of Azriel's head with the words.... " One down three to go, I'm coming for you." Micheal threw the laptop while yelling at the Lesser Angel Summon the other Greystalkers I want him found NOW!!!!!!

Mezian is sitting in his room in the sanctum quietly reading. takes a moment and sets up the camera, he begins to record.....

Peter Fucking Gilmour......I get Peter Fucking Gilmour.Oh, how I have waited for this moment. Its been almost a year since you and your butt buddy Mcbride knocked me out of the tag tournament. It was because of him you guys won. It wasn't because I or Jody couldn't handle the " King of Extreme" it was because said king needed to have someone clean up his mess.

Hey Pete how does it feel to know that your days as an important member of this company are long gone? I mean you were the top dog, the best in the company the"guy". I guess that gut of yours is getting in the way of you covering people. Which brings up something.When was the last time you got a pin? And I don't mean pinning your wife down because she won't fuck your fat motherfucking ass. I mean when was the last time you got a win? I mean as long as I have been here you have done nothing but cry about how the company is out to get you. How Vinnie Lane is trying to screw you at every chance he gets.

Have you ever thought that the reason you failed is you? Could it be that you are past your time and should be put out to pasture?Does it ever occur to you that no one cares about you because you're not worth it? Look, Peter, I don't want to sit here and state the obvious over and over again so I'm just gonna say this.Your legacy is forgotten and your failure is a foregone conclusion. Wednesday I'm gonna walk into Warfare beat you senseless, hit you with the Apocalypse Now and walk out with your spot with Micheal Graves. he deserves a tag partner that can actually perform and not blame their problems on management.

Your Reckoning Is At Hand!!!!!
