Unholy Archangel - An ULTRAKILL x Terraria Calamity Mod Fanfic

PRELUDE // EVEN AS YOUR BODY STARTS TO BREAK DOWN IN PAIN

(Author's rant: I don't really know what I was doing here in trying to make a cosmology for the silly crossover fanfic??? I probably will tweak this whole part in the future if I figure out how to do this correctly)



The machine was supposed to be here hours ago. 

Gabriel stands valiantly atop a large snowy mountain. The cold blizzard of treachery makes the air thick and hard to see through, the sky being obscured by the fog of snow. The zenith of the mountain is flattened, making a large space, as if it was made to be an arena. A flight of stairs is attached to one of the ends of the arena, stretching from the top to down below, unclear to where it starts.

On the end opposite of where the stairs are conjoined to the arena, Gabriel patiently waits. With the last of the remaining holy light leaving his body, he wishes to go out in a final duel against the machine in a blazing finish. 

With the speed of which V1 ravages through the upper layers of hell, it should've been here by now, surely there's no way that it fell to a foe on the upper layers, right?

These thoughts race through Gabriel's mind as he yearns to fight V1 one last time. It's only a matter of time before Gabriel succumbs to his power being fully stripped away from him. Gabriel cannot bear to imagine that this waiting will be pointless, whether Gabriel is waiting for something that will never come, or V1 being met with Gabriel's dead body instead of an epic dance to divine oblivion.

Gabriel has a sense of somber melancholy, fearing that his story will end like a fire slowly dying out.

Gabriel lays a hand to the hilt of one of his twin swords, before unsheathing it with grace. Gabriel holds this weapon to the air, inspecting it. The angelical sword doesn't glisten with the holy radiance it used to shine with, a clear sign that his time is running out. Gabriel sees his reflection on the metal of the blade as he reflects on himself. 

As Gabriel takes time to think, the mountain that he is standing on suddenly starts to shake violently, as if an intense earthquake begun. Gabriel is shaken by this, as he sheathes his weapon to regain balance in opposition against the quaking.

Soon after, a loud, low growl can be heard from below, the shaking becoming more intense. Then the sound of wet, grotesque, flesh is heard slapping against the arena behind Gabriel. Gabriel turns around to see some sort of appendage made out of red flesh, grab onto the mountain's ledge. Gabriel gasps out of surprise as he takes a few cautionary steps backwards. More of these tentacle-like appendages start appearing on the ledge, grabbing with force for more support. As this happens, a larger, hulking mass of flesh rises into view. The fleshy appendages seem to be connected to this "main" body, which has mouths, eyes, and other messed-up body parts strewn about with reckless placement. As the writhing beast of flesh emerges, an amalgam of voices come from the monster's many mouths.

"THE INTERLOPER HAS BEEN DEALT WITH. ONLY YOU REMAIN AS OUR SOLE OBSTACLE"
The mass writhes as the voices scream out. All the voices have differing tones.

(Yes, this thing is based off of ThonkerTheChonker's Hell from When Oil Runs Red, screw off.) 

"The machine. What did you do to it?"
Gabriel shouts and asks to the voice, seemingly caring more for the machine's safety rather than the giant monster threatening him.

"HahHahAh. THAT THING HAS SERVED ITS ENTERTAINMENT VALUE ALREADY. IT HAS BEEN...DISPOSED OF."
The cacophony of voices laugh with an almost ear-piercing, annoying cackle.

(V1's on Copper-9 in that one Murder Drones x Ultrakill fanfic jkjk)

Gabriel, after realizing this, looks forward dreadfully. He sees the mass of flesh raising one of it's many appendages slightly into the air, before the tentacle starts being swung to Gabriel's direction. He braces himself for this attack, but it isn't enough. The flesh tentacle swipes at Gabriel, striking him with much force. Gabriel gets thrown to the ground, the back of his armor scraping across the ground. He looks up to see the monster loom over his body, before it gurgles out another thing to say.
