Cellinia was holding on tightly to Phanes beyond the bodies of the angels slayn by him.
"Why did you bring us here"
She asked looking into the angels eyes
"I'm sorry"
"It was all so sudden"
"I wanted to stay for longer but given the current circumstances I had to make sure the cult was down for good"
Phanes said as he detransformed.

Douglas approached the two,
"Hey Free that was cool and all and I already thought I was a goner but"
"What was that"
"Douglas,..."
Free said
"Given the current events I am a vessel for both Phanes and Lucifer"
But among the conversation priceus's corpse began to reanimate
"You"
"We made a deal"
"DAMN LUCIFER"
"HE SAID THAT HE'D HELP ME IN MY CONQUEST"
Said priceus as his body began to mutate into some kind of purple goo.
"I'LL SEND DOWN LEGIONS OF ANGEKS AGAINST YOU"
"I"
"THE PRIMORDIAL ANTI-GOD"
"KHAOS"
He said before he went into another realm.

"What now Free?"
Asked azaline
"We have to find Lucifer"
"I need to talk to him"
"Why would he choose to be good if he were to start another war"
Free questioned himself as Heinz asked on what they should do now
"Heinz,we have to head to mount purgatory"
"But before that"
Free said as he walked among the dead bodies and carried out the emperor's body
Free told Heinz to dig up a hole in the ground near the castle grounds as Free prepared his late adoptive fathers body for burial.

Half an hour later everything had been prepared as Free lowered the emperor's corpse into his final place of rest.
After finishing the burial.
After everything Free walked the soils of solaris one last time, going in the ruins of the castle,the shrine which he loved to sit in and of course the throne room
They all began to set off before free looked at the remaining corpses of the angels.
"I've always wanted to do this"
Free said as he raised his arm out and traces of gold mist approached his arm entering his body,free began to absorb the abilities of the angels before using solstices abilities and releasing a solar flare that cremated the angels.
"Let's go"
Free said with a smile on his face but a look of sorrow in his eyes.
"What about the other people that were brought here"
Asked Cellinia pulling him back.
"This shall be the angels final resting place"
"But not for these mortals"
"We'll leave them here for now,after all this is done Cellinia,this kingdom will rise from its ashes"
Free said as he looked back walking out of the kingdom with his friends.

"Where are we going exactly"
Asked azaline
"Mount purgatory....."
"The place that holds Lucifer's throne on earth and the exact area where Lucifer crashed down from the heavens"
Free answered

Meanwhile Lucifer and the Archangels...
As Lucifer reached mount purgatory,the highest peak on earth hidden from the humans,a fight ensued between the fallen angel and his brothers on the mountains peak

"Why did you come back"
Asked Michael
"I didn't come back because I wanted to"
"I came back to walk the heavens once more"
Lucifer said as the two stood near his throne.
The battle had started between the Archangels and the devil
"WHY BROTHER"
"YOU WERE BANISHED FROM THE HEAVENS YET YOU CAME BACK TO WALK ON THE EARTH"
Yelled Michael as he landed the first strike
"MICHAEL I ONLY CAME BECAUSE I WANTED TO FEEL THE LIGHT OF GOD ONCE MORE"
"RATHER THAN NEVER SEEING THE LIGHT OF DAY EVER AGAIN"
Lucifer yelled as he pushed Michael's blade away using his own

"YOU STOLE THE SACRED FIRE LAST TIME YOU WENT YOU THERE WHEN YOU WERE BANISHED"
Shouted Raphael interrupting the two
"WHEN??"
Lucifer cried in confusion
"LOOK AT YOUR LEFT ARM DAMNIT THERE ARE LITERAL SCORCH MARKS FRIM WHEN YOU DID IT"
Raphael continued

Raphael and Gabriel came side by side from behind and stabbed him with their spears, Lucifer pulled them out of his body and threw them back at its owners
"I don't want to hurt you brother"
Said Lucifer
"Then why did you kill the other angels"
Asked Michael
"Why did you try and rob god of his throne?"
He yelled
"I only came back because a threat had returned"
Lucifer yelled reasoning with Michael
"Khaos is back"
He said

"I have no idea who you're yapping on about"
"But if this is all some part of some stupid plan you have may i ask of you one question"
"Why must you take the body of a child and cause chaos"
"That body you were in was as innocent as a smile before you took over"
Michael said to Lucifer.
"Father banished you for a reason Lucifer"

"Atleast I'm able to hold my own against you and the others now"
Free said as he rested for a while catching his breath.
"Why Lucifer"
"Why must you return"
Questioned Michael
"Oh Michael"
"You're just like a broken record player repeating stuff over and over again"
"Could you atleast think of something else"
Lucifer said as the two charged at eachother.

The fight for worse and worse as the two argued.the fires that laid beneath mount purgatory began to heat up and flare transforming the landscape into a hellish inferno fit for a demon king.
"I'm sorry brothers"
Lucifer said as he began to levitate
A ball of fire appeared on his finger and began to expand to the size of the sun
Lucifer looked at Michael
"As this star falls,so shall you"
He said laying his fingers down sending the ball of flames to the ground.

The ArchAngels were still standing as the fight continued.

Meanwhile...Free and his group on their way there
"Where is it?"
Asked azaline
"Somehwhere hidden from the human eye"
"Only Phanes could see it"
Free said.
"I'm sorry for the scene that you witnessed just now"
Free said looking at his friends
"It's not your fault"
Said Cellinia trying to cheer him up

"No Cellinia"
"The problem is"
"It was really me who did it..."

"I'm sorry"
"Akira"
