Michael shakes his head. His mouth is covered in blood but he's back to normal. He stands up and sees Ariel so he runs over to her

Michael: Ariel?

He touches her but gets burned

Michael: Ow

He shakes his hand

Michael: Did I do this?

He looks over and sees Jess. His eyes get wide

Michael: Jess!

He runs over to her. He falls to his knees and holds her in his arms

Michael: What have I done?!

He puts his hand on her neck and barely heals it. She slowly opens her eyes, they were pitch black. She starts breathing heavily while shaking

Michael: Jess

She looks at him

Jess: Michael?

He smiles and strokes her face

Michael: I'm here. I'm so sorry Jess. I really fucked up. You were right I should have went back. Look what I did. I killed Ariel and I hurt you badly

Jess: It wasn't you though, it was someone else

Michael: I let this happen

She puts her hand on his cheek. He quickly grabs and holds it close while tearing up. Blood slides down her face as she lets out pained sounds

Jess: It burns

He holds her close to him

Michael: I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry

Jess: I'm sorry to

He looks at her

Michael: About what?

Jess: I... Never... Told... You...

She closes her eyes

Michael: No... Never told me what?

He shakes her but she doesn't wake up. He panics and puts his head on her chest. He doesn't hear a heartbeat so he looks at her in shock

Michael: I killed you

He holds her close again then hits the ground

Michael: Fuck!

He hits it again

Michael: Fuck!

He hits once more

Michael: Fuck!

*BANG*

He quickly turns around and sees God by Ariel. He looks back at Jess

Michael: I love you Jess

He kisses her and stands up with her in his arms. Once he turns around

God: What did you do?

Michael: I didn't...

God: What did you do to her?!

Michael looks down. God starts to walk over

Michael: Don't come any closer!

God: Or what?!

Michael: Or I swear I'll...

God: You'll what Michael? You'll kill me? I'd like to see you try

They glare at each other. God looks at Jess. Michael tightens his grip on her. She begins to shake so Micheal hangs onto her but God is too powerful. Michael starts moving forward then falls to his knees. He loses his grip and Jess's body slides over to God

Michael: Jess!

He crawls after her but God grabs him by the neck and lifts him up

God: Do I have your attention now? I have your precious human. Do something

Michael: Fuck you

He throws Michael away from them. He looks down at Jess, kneels, and picks her up. Michael sees

Michael: NOOOOOO!!!

The ground shakes. God, Gabriel, and the youth are thrown back. God drops Jess but stops himself from going further back then makes Gabriel and the youths stop as well. Michael quickly flies over and catches her but falls to his knees and yells. He lays her on the ground and starts turning but God quickly punches and knocks him out. He falls on Jess. Gabriel walks over and looks at Michael

Gabriel: Was that what I think it was?

God: Yes

Gabriel uses his foot to get Michael off. They stare at Jess

Gabriel: She's dead

God: We warned him and he didn't listen so she paid the price

He looks at Ariel

God: And Ariel to

Gabriel: What do we do about her?

God: She's gone. She's one of his now

Gabriel: And Michael?

God: There might still be time

Gabriel signals the youth. They go over to Michael, grab him, and fly away. God looks at Gabriel

God: Make sure they get back safely

Gabriel nods then flies away. God looks at Jess again. The flower flies in front of him. He picks it up and looks at it

He gets a vision of Michael bringing the flower back to life and giving it to Jess

He gets a vision of Michael bringing the flower back to life and giving it to Jess. He then sees Michael yelling while grabbing his chest and the flower turning black. He kneels down to Jess, puts her hands on her stomach facing up, and puts the flower on them. He gets another vision that flashes fast. He quickly backs away and looks at her in shock

God: I'm sorry you had to die like this but you would have destroyed everything that I built and everyone I'm protecting. It had to be done even though you won't be up there resting in peace. You'll suffer as a slave. I'm sorry my child, I truly am

He flies up
