The Second Coming of the Messiah

Kokabiel knew he was in trouble when he felt the cold chill settle upon the area that had become his base of operations since Raynare had been captured. He knew Mittelt and Kalawarner had turned on him and his goals just a day later when all of his bank accounts were shut down by Shemhazai, the Vice Governor General of the Grigori.

He stared out the windows of the massive stone cathedral that had been his home for the last few months, and he felt a drop of fear settle into his ocean of rage.

Grim Reapers? What could I have possibly done to Hades? The "Star of God" questioned himself frantically, seeing that the number of Reapers was easily enough to take him down no matter how many he fought off. It would be a death by paper cuts situation, but in this case, it would be his soul getting cut. He knew all about those deathly black scythes the Grim Reapers wielded, having seen them in action himself long, long ago.

Kokabiel made his way from the confines of the Cathedral that lay in ruins, his gait slow and arrogant. "Begone, Reapers! I do not have time for your antics, tell your Master if he wants to speak with me, he needs to come himself!" When none of the Reapers moved to approach him, or leave him alone, he figured that perhaps they had come to send a message?

"But you see, Kokabiel… I have come. I hear you haven't been a good boy." Makoto stated as he walked calmly from the shadows of the large stone building, nonplussed at the amount of tainted light rolling off the now angered figure in the middle of the clearing.

"And who are you to speak to me in such ways, you filth! I will wipe you from existence for your insolence!" The Fallen Angel roared with more fury in his voice than Makoto had ever heard come from a single being. Multiple Fallen began to pour from the Cathedral at his declaration, each armed with Spears of Light.

With a cry of "Woo Hoo!" Bennia launched herself into the fray of Fallen Angels with gusto, clipping multiple sets of wings with her scythe as she blasted too and fro with the help of her tiny coffins, each emitting a baleful crimson energy that acted as if they were rockets.

Makoto, however, was in the middle of engaging Kokabiel in swordplay. The Blade of Lucifer tore through each Light Sword the Fallen conjured like they weren't even there, causing the Fallen to leap into the sky to avoid close quarter combat with his opponent.

Three gunshots rang out as the Blade of Lucifer was replaced with Reapers Revolver, each shot scoring a massive hole straight through three different wings. Kokabiel roared out in agony as he began to rain down Spears of Light upon his opponents location.

Makoto weaved in between each spear as it got close to him until he was a black and blue blur of chaotic movement. Three more gunshots rang out and finally Kokabiel was brought back down to the Earth forcibly. Blood poured freely from his wounds as he slammed his hands into the ground. The blood dripped from his arms and began to etch an exotic seal upon the burnt soil, causing the ground to vibrate and crack around the edge of the seal. Kokabiel's Irises became a sickly yellow while the sclera of his eyes turned crimson.

"Rise and serve me, Cerberus!"

The wry grin that stretched across Makoto's face confused the Fallen Angel greatly. "You won't be smiling when I am done with you, BOY!"

From the summoning circle came a massive beast with three heads, each spitting a massive source of flame from their mouths. The roar that tore through the landscape caused many of the Fallen that haven't passed out from the pain of having their souls severed from their wings to turn and face the conflict between the two figures in the middle of the clearing.

The Cerberus turned to stare at Makoto, who stared back at the beast with dispassionate eyes.

The three headed dog that guarded the entrance into the Land of the Dead bowed low, its front two paws digging trenches into the earth as Makoto began to walk forward.

Shadows coalesced into thick puddles and a singular coffin rose from its depths. Makoto soon came to a halt beside the Cerberus and reached his right hand out, patting the massive beast on its center head's snout.

"Good Dog." The Cerberus disappeared with a flash of black light, returning to its post with the rest of its kin.

Kokabiel tried to flee at the sight of the Coffin, finally realizing who he had been facing the entire time, but it was for naught. Just like with Raynare, eight ghostly appendages burst forth from the coffin and began to reel the man in foot by foot, until he was finally pulled into the darkness that awaited him. Chains wrapped around the coffin and multiple seals began to appear on the links, reinforcing the integrity of the small pocket dimension that held the body and soul of Kokabiel within.

Makoto turned to watch the remains of the Fallen surrender without further conflict, holding their hands high in the air as a sign of disarmament. Bennia landed beside him a few seconds later, a large smile on her face. "That was the coolest thing EVER! You showed that smelly Fallen who was Boss, Death-sama!"

Makoto fought and failed to hide the small smile that appeared on his face at the compliment from his first Servant of his that did not come from the Sea of Souls. The low class Grim Reapers that followed Bennia into the Land of the Living began to gather up the Fallen that were wounded and sank into the shadows one at a time, transporting their cargo directly to the rendezvous point the Governor General had set up to receive his stray kin.

"Let's go home, Bennia, Azazel is awaiting confirmation of Kokabiel's capture."

"You got it, Death-sama!"

Like their underlings, the two sank into the shadows and disappeared from the ruined landscape

From the treeline of the ruined landscape came a rather chesty figure wearing robes as black as night. Atop her head were black cat ears, and two black tails fluttered behind her as she walked.

The woman began to sniff the air and knelt down in the same spot Makoto last stood, tracing her fingers across the earth blackened by shadows. She brought the finger to her mouth and sucked the tip with a look of concentration on her face.

Ohhh, that's the energy I felt, alright. Vali was wise to tell me to be here.

A frown appeared on the figure's face, before it turned into a sensual looking grin.

"Kuroka gets what Kuroka wants, and right now… Kuroka wants some Skelekittens, Nyaaa!"
