"I cant kill a solarian...."
he said as he looked down on the crippled heinz.

Azaline punched free straight across the face releasing all the pheromones in her arm straight at the sadist.
"the hell was that for?'' said free as he began to mildly hallucinate with the force of a million suns
"just making sure you dont accidentally be an asshole'' she said 
"well,isn't that just dandy" free said as he rubbed his face

"DO IT NO BALLS" shouted an onlooker

azaline held free's shoulder 
"maybe you really can change"
"maybe sparing his life would be the first step to not becoming the monster you claim to be"
she said trying to beg free to NOT kill for once

"maybe you're right"
"BUT I DONT GIVE A SHIT" said free as he gave heinz a haymaker straight to the jugular
azaline gave free a slap to the back of the head

"alright alright funs over" Free said as he turned to phanes
"i hope you come back a better person" said Phanes as he looked at the crippled heinz

"now to purify him,i have to get rid of that asshole baphomet" he thought to himself

Phanes struck a pose from sailor moon and shouted "In The Name Of the Moon Your Soul Will Be Punished''

Phanes  uses rapid movements to barrage the opponent with a series of prismatic blows, using teleportation magic  to dash behind them and turn to deliver two hard knees to the back of his head and neck, finishing the preceding rush with a backflipping kick. After landing on the ground, Phanes raises his left hand above his head, generating a ball of rainbow light before  crushing it in his palm, pivoting and flinging the scattered energy at his charging opponent, and flinging another prismatic sphere itself to deal immense damage to the baphomet, resulting in an enormous explosion.

Baphomet cried in agony as he was being purified by the divine being.

"CURSE YOU ANGELS"

but before the demon disappeared he noticed a malevolent aura emanating from Phanes.

"wait"
"i know that aura"
"YOU'VE BEEN HERE THIS WHOLE TIME"
"CURSE YOU LUCI-"
He said as he began to disintegrate into sparkling dust.

"Lucifer....." said Phanes under his breath...
"Why would I of all people be Lucifer?"
He said as he laughed it off.

"Azaline,get this man to the hospital"
"ASAP"
Phanes ordered her summoning a wheeled stretcher out of thin air

Azaline immediately followed the angels orders as she carried Heinz onto the stretcher and pushing him to the nearest hospital.

Free tagged along as the three reached a nearby hospital.They crashed through the doors with the stretcher damaging Heinz even further with shards of broken glass flying on him.
"HELP"
"HELP US"
Shouted Free as he rushed to find a doctor.

"AZALINE"
"PLAN B SLAM HIM INTO THE NEAREST ER OPERATING TABLE"
The two ran across the hallways of the hospital taking lifts to go up a few floors before finally finding an operating theatre.

"Do you two need help?"
Said a doctor
He looked at Heinz with shock on his face
"You two drag him into the theatre we'll be working on him immediately"
Said the doctor as he readied himself

Free out on gloves and a mask and instructed a nurse to put Heinz under anaesthesia.
"Wait Free what are you doing?"
Azaline said questioning Free's shenanigans

"When I was in Solaris my mother crammed in basic medicine into my academics"
"I'll take care of him for now before the doctor arrives"
Free said placing an anaesthesia mask on Heinz telling him to slowly breathe.
Free then measured his heart rate and blood pressure as the three waited for the doctor

"GET OUT THE WAY I'LL BE DEALING WITH HIM"
the doctor said as he burst through the doors preparing to save the life of Heinz.
"So what you can doc"
"Just make sure he lives"
Free said as he stood near the doctor.

"Young man I'm afraid that you two have to wait outside,I'll call you when I'm done just give your contact number to the nurse waiting outside"
Said the doctor as he began the operation.

Azaline and free returned to the penthouse where Cellinia was still spending her birthday with her parents...

As azaline walked out of the hospital with free by her side that's when she realised that maybe he wasn't that bad of a person after all.
"Maybe people really can change"
She whispered under her breath as she trotted along the sidewalk
She admired the way Free acted as she saw him walk with such attitude and grace on the way home.
From becoming a psychotic masochist with the sole purpose of avenging his people Free changed his mind for once and decided to save someone.Even though Free hated Heinz down to his core he knew that some people still cared for Heinz.
"Free I want to ask you something"
Azaline said stopping free in his tracks
"Why did you-"

"He'll be of importance to us later on"
"I want to avenge the people of solaris by taking down the blind eye"
"Those scum don't ever deserve to walk the earth ever again"
He said looking back at Azaline.
"I don't care if I'm labeled as a monster while I'm doing this"
"This is my way of justice"
"You might think I'm crazy,but I think I'm right"
He said as he continued walking home.

Meanwhile back home...
"Did you do it?"
Was the first thing that  greeted Free as he entered his apartment
"I didn't,my dear"
"I know what I must've did,but even I know that I myself don't have the strength to do it"
"A lot of people care for him"
"Including my father, and I don't wish to take others loved ones away from them unless if they're the complete scum of the earth"
He said as he stood at the doorframe.

Free then went inside of the living room with both his parents and Cellinia's parents around them,Free rummaged through his pockets as he felt the ring he took from the militias base in his hand and held it tight in his fist.

He stood Infront of Cellinia and placed his sword on the ground as he took a deep breath and went on one knee.
He held his head down as he prepared the words that were about to be spoken.
"I know we just turned 17"
"And I know that this all seems a bit too fast"
"But ever since you appeared into my life that very day, everything changed"
"So in a few years time I'd wish to spend the rest of my mortal life with you"
"I wish and I promise that I will always be by your side and it will be my duty to protect you no matter the cost"
"I love you Cellinia...."
He said smiling as he looked at the ring in his hand.
"Cellinia....my love"
He said as he paused himself taking a glance at the gold ring with a pink gemstone as he raised his head and looked at her with Joy in his eyes
"Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
He said as he held the gold band between his index finger and thumb raising his arm, showing it to the princess.
He was covered in blood and bruises while doing so which lead to his parents thinking that it was a horrifying way to propose to someone.

Cellinia was too stunned to speak,but there was a clear answer as she dropped on her knees and pulled free into her arms staining her shirt with blood,as tears of joy rolled down her face she whispered into the warrior's ear
"Yes..."
"I'd Love to spend my life with someone like you"

As the two got up from the floor with free placing the ring on her finger.
The two's eyes were filled to the brim with tears.

"Well atleast it's better than a ringpop"
Said Free's Father as he saw a magical moment happen Infront of his eyes.

"So that's where the ring went"
Said azaline,who was leaning on a wall with her arms crossed

"So what do we do now?"
Cellinia asked holding her future husband in her arms.

"We wait"
"But while doing so..."

"I want you to follow me on a trip"
