Selice had been in Asri's kitchen, baking a tray of sickeningly sweet brownies for Syl when a splitting headache over came her. A bright light filled the kitchen and Selice disappeared into the Realm of Animus.
The angel hit the cold marble floors of Animus's realm hard, a muffled ow sound escaping from her lips. "You know animus you should warn people before yo-" she stopped mid sentence and look around her. Animus lay dead, Veronica was trapped, young Sara was on her own and there was a strong angelic presence, though it was unlike anything she had ever felt before. She pushed herself off the ground and stood, brushing herself off.
"and what in the name of the holy realm is going on here" she said softly, her eyes changing slowly, burning a dangerous silver color as she focused on Myz.

'Ah yet another dreg from Heaven, I see.' Myzrael said, facing the three.
He sheathed his sword, and focused on them.
'You seriously dont think you can beat ME, do you?' He said, rising into the air again. A black Zealot formed in the air beside him, but this summon had hands, and was holding a harp.
Suddenly the summon began strumming the harp, and powerful waves of sound emanated from it, strong enough to be pushing the three away. A violet portal appeared behind them, as the sound was slowly making them inch backward into it. The cacophony also made it nigh impossible to concentrate to cast spells or to even think for that matter.
'Isnt this melodious?! I will expel you with drama, with music!' Myzraels voice echoed over the ruckus.

It was by luck that Veronica's instincts allowed her to summon a net of energy to close off the portal. Rising up, she had Sara disappear to a realm only she knew of. Myzrael had his games... As did she. She contemplated on what do next, all the while, reminding herself of how lucky she was... Danger and adrenaline can make a being do incredible things.
Shit. Veronica thought to herself... What now.

Selice walked forward, if one could call it walking, she was walking in mid air, advancing on Myz. Her eyes still burning a hateful silver. A bright glow of silver light engulfed the angel then quickly disappeared, leaving Selice in gleaming silver armor and armed with her large silver scythe, her black wings growing in size as well, the arc angel of silence revealed.
She watched as he pulled forth a portal, but it did not even phase her. she simply touched her scythe to the ground, a silver light drowning out his evil magic with the light of purity, saving Veronica and Sara.
"What is your purpose here, tainted one?" she asked softly, but her voice was different, it was ethereal, her original voice, the voice of silence itself. "Explain yourself quickly so that I can end you and returned your putrid soul back to the ninth circle of the pit" she added, still advancing on Myz.

'Address me not in such a disrespectful way, impudent child!' Myzrael declared, his six wings spread behind him.
'Once of the Seraphim, I am now a god, and you and your petty magic shall not stop what is to be on this day!' The Zealot with the harp disappeared, and Myzrael dropped down to the ground.
'You cannot speak, dear child. There is magic on your lips. What, pray tell would happen, if I did this..?' Myzrael said, as he waved a hand in the direction of Selice, casting powerful magic to remove the seal on her lips.
As he did so, a summon materialized beside Veronica and held her in its grip, melting over her mouth and her body, making them one.
'Your move, angel.' Myzrael said with disdain, his magic still working on the spell on Selice's lips.

"What the hell did you just do to me?!", Veronica growled.

Selice turned to Veronica, her eyes softening slightly. "He has created a symbiotic bond with you, cunning really. If I were to strike him it would kill you, therefore" she started, her voice whispering in the back of Veronica's mind so she would not harm her now that he seal was taken from her "I shall sever that bond" she finished, swinging her scythe at the intangible bonds that held Myz to Veronica, freeing the human woman from the dark angel's clutches. "Be gone now human, we angels have business to finish" she whispered, waving her hand at Veronica and sending her away, somewhere where Myz wouldn't be able to touch her.
She returned her gaze to Myz, her eyes turning hateful once more. "You fancy yourself a god, foolish worm you are equal to the piece of gum stuck to a shoe" she said softly, her angelic voice filling the entire realm and shaking it to the core. Selice's voice was terrifying but beautiful, a strange mixture of loud screams and the softest whisper, with enough power in it to destroy cities. "the only thing you have accomplished by releasing my true voice is bringing about your own end" she added. Selice opened her lips and screamed, her ethereal voice sending an explosive shock wave through the realm, crumbling stone and structure all around them.
_________
Meanwhile in heaven. A bright silver glow filled Selice's home and dumped Veronica and sara out on her plush white leather sofa. Jasper entered the room a confused look on the angels face. "The heck? Who are you two?" he asked.

"Mommy.", Sara spoke. "Where are we?".
Veronica looked at the being across her and asked, "This is heaven, isn't it?".

Jasper froze. "You...You're humans....Where is Selice, what's going on?!" he asked, his eyes wide in shock. After a few moments he calmed and shook his head weakly, "yeah it's heaven".

Veronica chuckled. If anything, she was relieved.
"Thank you.", Veronica said to the angel, smiling.
Now, to think.

(OOC: Hey guys, I'm back and I thought I'd join. If you don't appreciate my presence, I'll delete my post and leave. )
Asri appeared out of the kitchen, holding a tray with two cups of tea and some fruit. It had been a while since he moved to Heaven, considering how run-down Animus was. Selice had taken him, Kiel and Syl in as guests, as Asri's home in Heaven wasn't big enough for three people. They recently went back to visit Animus again, looking for Veronica, but fled back here when Kiel had detected a large surge of energy... something that they weren't ready to face.
He looked beautiful, impeccable. His long purple hair was tied in a lose ponytail, his bag of supplies was at his side as usual, and he was dressed in formal male clothing. Which in Heaven was either long robes or suits. Asri as usual, chose to wear a suit, but one that was modified to be more comfortable, in case he had to fight in it.
"Ah, I see we have more guests," said Asri pleasantly. "I have your tea, Jasper."
He set the trap down, handing one cup to Jasper and keeping the other for himself. He looked at Veronica and Sara pleasantly.
"Long time no see Veronica," he said, "would you and the girl like some cookies and cake? Syl made them just for you. I wish it was here right now, but it's kind of... occupied... at the moment. Should it turn nasty, Kiel has asked me to come help, but for now I'm staying here. That Dark Angel made quite a stir when he returned."
__________________________________________________________________________________
Back in Animus's realm, a portal was ripped open in the shadows behind Selice. It was as if a dagger had cut through reality, and from it stepped two figures, one of which was bearing a powerful aura. Kiel and Syl stepped forward, Syl being right behind Kiel, bearing a much weaker aura. But Kiel knew why, and it needed Syl to fight optimally.
Syl and Kiel appeared as they always did. Syl, looking innocent and clueless, Kiel determined and grim. Winds swirled around Kiel as it approached Selice, shielding it and Syl from her wrath.
"Well well well, Myzrael," said Kiel, "I remember you, and that fiasco that got you killed."
Syl blinked, tugging at Kiel's sleeve.
"Who is he? I don't remember him?"
Of it did not. Kiel knew that Syl had forgotten because he was dead to it, and therefore he slipped through the cracks of its meory. But Kiel... Kiel never forgot. It remembered each and every enemy. Classified them. Listed them. And wiped them off one by one. Kiel knew that Myzrael was dangerous, and for that it came prepared. With a back plan. And a back up plan to that back up plan.
"I requested that Azrael classify him in case he might stir up trouble," explained Kiel, "Now we know who he is. The only question now is what he intends to do once he destroys everything."

Jasper looked at Asri, another shocked look on his face. "Wait, you know whats going on? Asri what the hell, tell me what's going on, where is Selice?" he questioned, setting his tea down on one of Selice's numerous bookshelves.

Asri blinked. Looks like Kiel had forgotten to explain it to Jasper. Oh well.
"Only the basics," he said, "the reason we returned early from our visit to Animus was because Kiel had sensed a large amount of energy emanating from the park, which it identified as part of Myzrael's aura. We retreated here, and Syl and Kiel used their time here to prepare to go back and check out it. They just left, actually."

Unfazed by the devastation that Selice had caused, or the untimely arrival of Syl and someone else.
'I am beyond you, and your understanding, creature of Heaven. After my fall, I never groveled in submission as you did, and as such have achieved my true potential. You fancy yourself more powerful than I? When it was my summon, V that drained the life force of this world while I hid in a different dimension.'
He waved his hand over the ground, and a shadow formed, which V then rose out of.
'Deal with them. Heaven needs a rockin. Then I can continue with my plan. Animus' power is already starting to flow through my veins. They cannot hurt me, or you.'
Myzrael disappeared into a different dimension, leaving V behind.
V stood there, shadows swirling at his feet. He melted into a dark pool at his feet, which then expanded to cover the whole floor, walls, and ceiling. Everything was black. Animus' power reinforced the dimensional shadows, making it exceedingly hard to break should anyone try to escape.
Three black figures rose out of the shadows on the ceiling, all in the form of Selice, complete with armor and scythe, except they all had black eyes. The three rushed at Selice, each screaming in unison, causing shockwaves to tear at the three, having their scythes raised in attack.

Selice simply smirked at Myz. "you are not beyond me, little shadow, on the contrary, it is I who is beyond you" she said in a taunting fashion. She watched as he disappeared, a the tiniest bit of a frown tugging on her lips, almost as if she was disappointed he left. "A coward" she mused simply. "But it is of no matter, once we finish with these shadows we shall be able to pursue him" she said softly.
She watched as the three copies of herself flew forward in attack, and turned her head to Syl and Kiel. "Might I suggest you stay behind me" she said softly. Selice raised her scythe and slashed towards the ground, ripping open a huge rift in the dimension that managed to swallow one of the copies. The other two however were now on top of Selice, slicing and hacking away at the angel with their matching scythes. "Pathetic excuses for copies" she said simply, easily blocking most of the blows they inflicted, though they did manage to score several hits to the woman.
