Avarice's point of view
I was having a nice comfortable rest at my own office when Killea came with a huge fuss drawn on her face.
"What is it?" I asked.
"The meter is malfunctioning!" she exclaimed which makes my brows furrow.
She must be referring to the demon tracker we have few meters away from the gate, and why the heck would that happen? That was guarded by hundreds of securities.
"Did you call the gate security personnel?"
"None of them answered" Killea worriedly replied. "Corporal, something must be going on there. We need to do something!"
I looked at her with anguish and quickly flipped my hair to grab the radio on my desk, I walk my way outside the headquarters and looked at the tranquility of the horizon, it was a dangerous stillness of nature in a distance.
"Requesting all units to standby" I speak. "Be ready to engage and do battle"
As soon as I spoke those words with my mouth, a sudden growl of countless demons had utter. That even though it was miles away from my location, I can almost hear the screams of the fallen soldiers guarding the gate.
And there's only one reason for this, the Archangel did not kill the bride, so the demons had awakened to destroy the hell. We knew that this will be the consequence of not letting the bride die, for she posses the 4 types of man-kind.
The blood of humans, angels, devil, and demons.
She's an actual danger that almost reaches the extent level of Lucifer's capacity, though her power may not awaken yet, time will come.

Together with the Corps, Chief and Captain, we arrived at the field a few meters away from the gate that had been completely destroyed. Dead bodies and blood had scattered around the whole place which makes it even more terrifying to be in.
5 troops gather in front and engage the defense position to standby, while on the other hand the three of us leading the Corps stood straight at the back to cover up.
We quickly held our weapons tightly as soon as a screech and shriek were overheard from a distance. And in one snap, countless numbers of demons showed up and the heads of the dead soldiers are on their huge beastly hands. They threw it in front of us and growled in anger.
"ADVANCE!!" the last thing I said before the demons started to run in our direction.
Lucia's point of view
This can't be happening!
"Cloud, Quartz, and Sin, go help the Corps take down the enemies on the gate. Try to protect the soldiers as much as possible to avoid devastation" Death commanded the three of them as soon as we heard Avarice's statement on the radio.
They immediately vanished together and with that, I told Death that I have to get back home to see Angelique.
"I'll go get her," Igneous said.
I paused for a minute and looked at him with confusion.
"I was with her earlier, she's at Malvido" he added.
"How?"
"I asked Death where's your unit, so what?"
He did not do anything harmful to her, did he?!
"I'll be back," he said and disappeared.
Dark and Death on the other hand discussed some plans to seal the gate again with their powers, but the only thing that bothers them is the question of who did this matter again?
"Phoenix said it's not her doing, and I'm sure she's not lying" I stated towards the two of them.
"If that's the case, then who will it be?" Dark crossed his arms. "And why?"
"She may not be the one behind all of this, but I feel connections between the lines"
Angelique's point of view
I tried to escape with all the guts I have to the tight chains that were on my neck but nothing is happening, I looked at Sadira who's sitting in the carver chair while playing with the sharp knife she has.
She's grinning like a fcking i***t while looking at me with her deadly glares.
"LET ME GO!" I shouted. "Why the fck are you doing this?!"
"Shh" she even acts like she's so annoyed towards my voice. "The bride is all I need for, so behave yourself"
"What did she do to all of you? Nothing, right?! So shut the fck up and stop this nonsense!"
"You knew nothing Angelique" she chuckled. "Anyways, your precious friend will be here any minute from now and you cannot do anything. You are weak and powerless after all"
This btch, though I know I am a useless person but to say it like it's me for the rest of my life sucks, and what fcking pisses me off is the fact that I let her use me as bait.
Flashback
"Help me" Sadira suddenly touched my neck and the last thing I knew she was holding a blade.
"Kill the bride"
Sadira quickly grabs and shoves me into the floor right before I could even talk, what grabs my attention is the huge wings she released behind her.
"Who-the-fck-are-"
"Tell me" she grinned while pointing the blade towards my chest. "Who's the bride?"
End of flashback
After that I couldn't do anything, I told her it was Lucia. She left a note saying Lucia should quickly go to our location right now because if not, I'm gonna be dead.
Who would have thought that an angel can kill a person? But deep down inside me, I wish Lucia won't come, even if it kills me. I am a huge burden for her after all, so it's fine if this is the end of me.
A minute of silence filled the place before heavy footsteps behind the door creaked. A forceful kick caused the door to fly away into its place and what's behind the door is a figure someone I didn't expect.
"Another fcking angel huh" Igneous smirked while stepping inside and glared at Sadira.
"You must be Igneous, the Prince of Wrath" she fake a smile.
"And you must be a fcking regular angel of God"
Sadira exposed her wings and waggle them to annoy the prince.
"Give me that btch and I'll think if I should spare your life or not"
Btch? Is he referring to me? What the fck?!
Sadira chuckled and tighten the grip of her blade, I don't think something good will happen.
"You must be kidding"
Everything went so fast, before I knew it I'm already in Igneous' arms, and Sadira was right in front of us. She strikes her blade to slit his throat but Igneous on the other hand summoned his blazing sword in flames and quickly blocked her attack.
I almost screamed when he punched forcefully kicked her off causing her to hit through the walls and stumble outside right into the ground. I flinched as he held my neck and to my surprise, he released me by melting the chains.
"Just fcking stay beside me" he said with a tone of warning, he held my wrist tightly and grabbed me outside of the house.
We both saw Sadira arise after what happened earlier, and in a blink of an eye, she attempts to attack once again. They both clash their swords but he is still holding me despite all the forceful attacks.
Sadira tried to hit me instead but to my surprise, he quickly shove me behind and blocked the attack with his blazing sword, I saw Igneous's angry face at the moment like he really wants to protect me.
"Damn you, Igneous!" Sadira shouted as soon as she acted to wallop the both of us.
"Fcking practice holding your sword properly angel" Igneous smirked as he snapped his fingers.
"I'm gonna come and find you!" the last thing Sadira hissed as both of us vanished right in front of her.
And a minute of darkness filled my sight, and the warmth of Igneous was the only thing I felt.
