Hazbin Hotel: A Sinister Redemption

Chapter 49: Michael's Cleansing and the Fall of the Corrupted Army of Heaven

The sky was thick with a bitter fog of corruption, as if Heaven itself was crying out in agony. Michael, the once angelic warrior, now stood on the precipice of a new mission: to cleanse Heaven of the taint that had taken root in its highest ranks. The rebellion that had begun with Adam’s descent into darkness and the betrayal of Heaven’s true purpose had led to this: a battle for the very soul of the divine realm. Michael's wings, pure and radiant, stretched wide behind him, cutting through the storm of anger and sin swirling through the skies above.

Before him, the corrupted army of Heaven stood in a twisted formation—angels once noble, now consumed by the poison of sin that Adam had spread. Their wings were tattered, their faces hardened by rage, and their eyes no longer reflected the light of God but the darkness of their rebellion. They were no longer His soldiers, no longer protectors of His will. They were lost, corrupted, and dangerous.

Michael’s heart burned with a holy fire, not of wrath, but of justice. His mission was clear: these angels had to be purged, for their pride had eclipsed their purpose. They had betrayed everything Heaven had stood for, and now, it was Michael’s turn to set things right.

With a steady breath, Michael raised his sword, the Holy Blade, which glowed with the light of the Lord. Its power was immense—greater than anything any angel could wield. It pulsed with the energy of Heaven itself, for it was forged in the divine light, and now, it was his to wield in this final judgment.

The corrupted angels, led by their general, a once-glorious archangel named Seraphiel, snarled in unison as they prepared to charge. But Michael didn’t move at first. He stood still, his eyes scanning the battlefield, his mind focused, his heart aligned with the will of God.

"You’ve fallen far from grace, Seraphiel," Michael’s voice rang out, clear and commanding, echoing across the heavens. "But I will offer you mercy one last time. Return to the light, and there is a chance for redemption. Turn away from the sin that has consumed you, and there will be peace."

Seraphiel’s cold, twisted laugh echoed across the sky. "Mercy? You think after all this we can still be redeemed? No, Michael, we are beyond redemption. We are free. We have power now, and that’s all that matters."

"Then you leave me no choice," Michael responded, raising his sword high.

In an instant, the army charged, wings slashing through the air, swords and spears raised in anger. Michael met them head-on, his blade cutting through the air in a graceful, yet lethal arc. The corrupted angels screamed as their bodies were torn apart by the holy light of his sword. With every strike, the sin they had embraced was burned away, their twisted forms disintegrating into ash and light.

Seraphiel was not far behind, his dark wings spreading like a shadow over the battlefield as he lunged at Michael with a fury unlike any other. The two archangels clashed in a violent explosion of light and shadow. Michael’s holy blade met Seraphiel’s corrupted sword, sending sparks of dark energy flying into the sky. The force of the collision shook the heavens, and the corrupted angels faltered, momentarily stunned by the sheer power of the two foes.

“You were once the brightest among us, Seraphiel,” Michael said through gritted teeth, holding his ground against the dark blade. “But you’ve turned away from everything you were. And now, you’re nothing more than a puppet of sin.”

Seraphiel sneered, his wings flapping violently, sending gusts of wind through the battlefield. “You speak of light and redemption, Michael, but it’s a lie! There is no redemption for us. Only power.”

Michael’s eyes burned with divine fire, and with a mighty swing, he shattered Seraphiel’s sword, sending the blade flying into the air. In that same motion, he drove his sword through the corrupted archangel’s chest. Seraphiel’s eyes widened in shock as the light of Michael’s blade consumed him, his body crumbling into nothingness.

The army around them faltered, watching in stunned silence as their leader fell. Michael’s wings spread wide, his armor gleaming with the pure light of Heaven, and his sword, now covered in divine energy, glowed brighter than ever.

He raised the sword to the sky, and with a mighty roar, the heavens shook with the power of his command. The fallen angels, seeing their general slain, began to retreat in fear. But Michael was relentless.

With the strength of the Lord behind him, Michael pursued them, striking down each corrupted soul with righteous fury. The divine light that radiated from his every move washed over the battlefield, purging the darkness with each swing of his blade. The corrupted angels screamed as they were consumed by the light, their bodies disintegrating, returning to nothingness.

As the last of the corrupted army fell, Michael stood amidst the ruined battlefield, his sword at his side, his breath steady. He had fulfilled his mission. Heaven was cleansed once more.

But even as the war seemed to come to an end, Michael knew this was just one chapter in a long battle. The corruption of Heaven had been purged, but the forces of Hell still lurked, and Adam’s rise to power was imminent.

With a final, solemn glance at the battlefield, Michael spread his wings wide, his heart aligned with the divine purpose. There was still much work to be done, and he would not rest until the peace of Heaven was fully restored.
