Dip - Heaven in hell

Chapter 33

I approach the shining gates. A tall man with angel wings appears before me.

The man gives me an angry expression. "You definitely don't belong here."

"No, sir. No, I do not."

He scowls at me. I can tell by his stance that he is prepared to fight me.

I look him in the eye. "Do you know who I am?"

"I do."

"And do you know what I do?"

"I do."

"Then, are you going to fight back?"

"Yes." 

He fabricates a bow of light and takes aim at me. I dodge out of the way before it hits me. That arrow wouldn't have done much damage, but I can't risk too many surface wounds. 

One touch from my hellfire brings him down. 

I push through the gates and duck behind some clouds. There are a lot of angels here... That shouldn't surprise me as much as it does.

Everyone looks fairly normal... 

I stealth around for a while which isn't easy considering how dark my outfit and hair are against these white clouds but I assume none of these angels would ever expect an intruder. 

There is a big vault-looking door in the far distance. It has four guards, all battle angels. That has to be it.

I throw a ball of fire into a crowd of angels. They all disperse and chaos runs through the area. Two of the battle angels go to investigate.

I approach the other two from the front.

"Halt! How did you get in here?!" They both point their bows at me.

"The same way I'm about to get in there."

I can take two angels down easily.

I shoot fire at one while dodging the other. They are both defeated in an instant. 

"How do I open you..." I ask the door. It doesn't respond.

I decided to try burning it down. That has worked with everything else in this place.

To my surprise, it opens. This is going much better than I thought it would.

"Not so fast!" A voice calls.

A group of almost 50 battle angels are running towards me. The group is led by a familiar-looking boy with dirty blonde hair.

I push my way into the vault. 

The group gets closer and closer.

"Focus, Damien!" I tell myself.

There are glowing orbs in each glass box. The boxes are in long rows and columns. These must be the memories.

"We have you now, Dark Prince!"

I turn around slowly with my hands up. "Easy... I'm here to help you."

"We don't want the help of a dark being like yourself!"

"These are your memories! Don't you want them back? Each and every one of you had loved ones. You all had people you admired, dreams, goals..."

"We only exist to serve!"

"You guys sure are stubborn."

"Die!"

They release a rain of arrows down onto me. I am able to dodge most of them but because of how outnumbered I am, I get hit with a few.
