A World Divided

No Matter

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T PARTICIPATE IN THIS WAR? DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TOO GOOD TO FIGHT IN THIS WAR, OR DO YOU THINK THAT THIS WAR IS "TOO SCARY" FOR YOU!?! WHAT DO YOU THINK THE ANCIENT WOULD DO IF HE FOUND OUT THAT YOU DIDN'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS WAR?? HE WOULD HAVE YOU STAND ALONE AND OFFERED AS A FREE KILL WITH THE OTHER ANGELS NOT FEELING SORRY FOR YOU BUT REJOICING. THIS WAR WILL FINALLY GIVE US PEACE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND TO GET RID OF THE DEMONS AND KNOW YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU CAN'T PARTICIPATE IN THIS WAR?? YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU DON'T WANT PEACE FOR US ANGELS. I THINK YOU WANT THE DEMONS TO WIN AND TAKE THEIR SIDE!! TRAITOR! EXPLAIN YOURSELF RAPHAEL!!!" Raphael realized that he made the biggest mistake an angel could ever make. Raphael forgot how he used his power. With the leader demanding answers, there was only one thing he could do. "Well, you see, when I was showing you my power, I didn't exactly know what I was doing when I shot the beam in the air. I knew what I was doing when I was holding the shot that you fired. Besides that, I sort of just guessed on what to do. I could show you again if you gave me time. It can't be that hard to shoot a beam of energy into the air. I just need someone to help me." With that, the leader became so mad that he stopped using his wings, walked up to Raphael. (For the leader to become so mad that he started walking up to Raphael, an ancient walking up to you instead of flying to you was a rarity and never a good thing.) Raphael saw the rage in the leader's eyes. The leader whispered into Raphael's ear and said that he better learn not only every aspect of his power, but he must also be able to shoot the beam straight back at whoever fired the beam at you. (Unless it was an Angel of course. In which case, fire the beam at the Demons). He also said that if Raphael didn't do as he says that the leader will make the ancient take Raphael's wings and clip the wings, burn them and then he would be sent to the demon side. "I will. Just give me some time. Anything can be accomplished if only I had a little bit more time." The ancient just laughed, shook his head and said, "You have no more time left!!"
