As the shining light of the electric railcannon struck Gabriel's body, he could no longer stand tall and fight any longer, Gabriel slowly descends onto the ground and looks at the emotionless steel creature that has dealt this fatal wound.
Gabriel (Speaking furiously and distraught): It seems that you have bested me for the third and final time machine... He looks at the frozen hellscape of the layer of treachery and then back at V1 with rage Out of anything I thought that would have slain I, the judge of hell, I never thought I would be killed by a creation of mankind... not a prime soul... not by another angel that has seen my disgusting deeds and judged me, but instead a toy that all of man made out of fear of themselves. He gasps for air as the wound that the electric railcannon made starts to make his holy blood spill, the ground sparkling with holy dying light I commend you for your ferocity during our short lived fights... but now... we will both die... you will starve of blood... and... I... will finally be free of the role of "Judge of hell". Do you understand?
V1 gave Gabriel a melancholic thumbs up, the machine's purpose may have been only for war, but that didn't mean that he didn't know what death is, death was his specialty after all.
Gabriel (Speaking with spite and vigor): However I... have a deal for you machine. He takes off his helmet and reveals his face, V1's optics isn't able to register his face, for it is beyond what any human software can comprehend Take my helmet machine, it has my life force, plug it in to that damned terminal of yours, the very terminal that give's you tips of your enemies, and I will give you one thing, and one thing only... He waits for V1's response with impatience
V1 looks at Gabriel curiously, obviously V1 and Gabriel have fought to the death 3 times already, which in a dark type of way, made both of them like brothers and so V1 looked at Gabriel with his one, bioluminescent eye and gave him a pensive nod.
Gabriel (Now with resolve in his voice): Excellent, my gift towards you... machine, is that I will use the last of the holy light inside me, too transport you to another dimension... however, I do not know what will be in this new dimension, it could be another Purgatory for you to slaughter, or it could just be a never ending void where we will never see the light again, but alas both options are better than becoming one with Treachery from the agonizing cold... He looks at his gloved hands, his hands crack and pop of frostbite, but he doesn't care, all that matters is more entertainment, and staying with the robot he swore to destroy, so that one day, HE can Finish this once and for all Now then... are you ready too become anew? Too start over and continue murdering poor damned souls that come across you? He laughs at his own little dark joke even though it wasn't funny at all
V1 looks at Gabriel, looks at the surroundings of Treachery and finally looks at the terminal sitting in the middle of the bloodied arena V1 and Gabriel fought in, waiting, knowing the answer V1 will give already. Agitated at the terminal due to it easily reading V1's thinking, he looked at Gabriel and nodded calmly
Gabriel: Go to the middle of the arena machine, and of course, the most important part... He throws his helmet at V1 and V1 easily catches it with his whiplash arm in the air You really need that grappling hook to do anything, don't you? Plug the helmet into the machine when you are at your new location, and I will be reborn... in a creation of mankind... Gabriel says this disgusted
V1 listens to Gabriel's orders with caution and looks at Gabriel slightly agitated due to the fact that he just kicked Gabriel's ass, and so Gabriel has no right to critique his Whiplash skill's. He drags the holy helmet on the ground, knowing that it will piss off the Archangel.
Gabriel (Furiously): You pathetic descendant of man! That helmet is older than your creators! As Gabriel yells at V1, he coughs out blood from his mouth and starts to wobble and nearly falls It seems that my time is lesser than I though it was, let us hurry this so I can finally rest from this meaningless existence...As V1 impatiently waits for Gabriel to end his little monologue about how humanity sucks ass and how if Gabriel had coins he would fucking obliterate V1, it notices that it's visor starts to become static-like, and the world around it get's harder and harder to see.
V1 (Thinking to itself): Shit, fuel reserves are running dangerously low, I can't have Gabriel's blood anymore due to it being on the ground for too long.
V1 looks at Gabriel and gestures him to hurry up even more
Gabriel (Annoyed) It takes time to transport you to another universe machine! One wrong step and we both will be obliterated by misusing the power of the holy light!
As Gabriel barks back at V1, a golden circle filled with many ancient rune-like symbols appear on the snow below V1, V1 jumps and dashes away out of the circle and looks at Gabriel pissed off, knowing that it was an attack like the Virtues.
Gabriel (Smug): It seems that you have the ignorance and stupidity of your creators! This ancient circle was a means of our lord and above to be able to travel all around the cosmos, and now I am using it for my own gain... because I will do what I want!
V1 clearly annoyed at Gabriel walks back onto the circle and feels it's body start to become ethereal, as if not in this world anymore, looks at Gabriel and wave's good bye
Gabriel: Do not say riddance to me any time soon machine! For I will be there to witness your increasing failings and witness your short-lived victories!
He laughs maniacally as the circle envelops V1 in holy light and makes him disappearAs the holy light of this last act of defiance from Gabriel finally dies down into nothingness, Gabriel get's on his knee's and look's into the snow filled sky one last time, before finally succumbing from his wounds
