Angels and Demons

Chapter 14

"Why would you want to destroy the surface?" I ask. "Because we want it back." Says the first one. I sigh. It makes sense. "Ok. Well why not live in harmony with humans?" I ask. "Because humans are tiny and insignificant, they would, at most, get in the way." Says the second one. "Ha ha! Says the tiny and insignificant one." Says Jace. Their eyes narrow at him. "A human with blood of the holy ones?" Says the first. "How exciting." The second one continues. "And another." The first one motions towards Clary. "And then, of course, a holy one in its entirety." The second one points at Lilica. "My sense is pulling me towards their thrones, it must be under there." Lilica whispers to me. Alec suddenly fires an arrow at the first one. But the throne is picked up by a mechanical arm from underneath, dodging the arrow. "Kill it! Rid my throne room if this filth!" The first one screams. The earth-water guards rush at us, but Lilica fires her shotgun, and a beam of light fires from the barrel, vaporizing one of them, instantly. The other is almost upon us, but Lilica fires her gun once again. The second monster is dead. "Our guardians are gone." Says the first one. "I think it is time to leave." Says the second. Their thrones are both picked up by a mechanical arm and a robot comes out of the ground. It has tentacle-like arms, and legs, with hands and feet attached to the ends. The robot has two tentacle-like necks, and the thrones are the heads. The robot walks towards the door. Jace runs over and slices one of the legs off. The robot falls to the ground, the little guys falling off their thrones, and onto the ground. Alec ends them both with two, well placed arrows. Lilica walks to the fallen robots and tears open one of the thrones. Inside is a chest, she takes it out and opens it. Inside the chest is a black goblet, decorated with red gems. "The Chalice of Immortal Fire." Says Maryse. In the other throne is a chest, and in the other chest is the Halo. "Ok I'm gonna fly this back to Heaven, you throw that thing back into Hell, and get the demons to leave." Lilica says. She then flies away and down the hall we came from. Magnus opens some sort of fiery red portal, and drops the Chalice in it, then closes the portal. "All the demons should open their portals and go back home to the Chalice. We should get back up there." He says. Dad teleports us back to the surface and we all go home. Isabelle was found tied up back at the church in New York. A few days later, everything is back to normal.  Except for the fact that Endromidus has two new inhabitants. Since Lilica wanted to stay on Earth with Seth, I got them a house here in Endromidus. They live happily together now.
