Michael was on the skies, his sword shining like it was ready to slay all these fallen angels Lucifer gathered. He was leading his own men, each of them ready to sacrifice what they have for the realm.

Ariel and Chamuel were on the sides, leading their own armies as well. They looked different from their usual playful sides, it looked like they were dressed to kill.

Jophiel, however, was tending to the other angels below. Gabriel too, was arranging his men for the war.

What surprised me was that Azrael and Lilith were side by side, up above with their own men. They looked so in sync, like they were made to do this, together. So fierce up above, I was sure that this duo can slay a lot of those fallen angels.

"Kass, our men," said Raphael, running his hand through his dark hair as he looked at me sideways.

We were also on the skies, with our men behind us. There were roughly 300, not a match for Lucifer's thousands.

"I know," I said, my heart burning with passion.

If this is what Lucifer wants, I will give it to him. I will not sacrifice these men for his evil agenda. I will not sacrifice this family I built with the Seven for his evil doings.

As the sky darkened, I felt like someone was possessing me. It felt like my veins were being fueled by something; determination and thirst for blood.

"For the Realm! Men of the Realm, of Raphael the Healer, of Kassandra the destroyer! In the name of our Divine realm, we will fight with all our might!" I cried out, raising my sword as I glared at Lucifer.

I then saw him giving me a smile, but it looked like it was a smirk. He then turned to his right, Samyaza standing tall with his sword unsheathed.

"For Divine Realm!" Our men cried.

Fire started raining down, and it started shaking. The faults were opening, spurting out lava.

"So you think you can defeat my men? You think you can defeat me again?" Asked Lucifer, as he approached Michael slowly.

Michael then stood proud, approaching Lucifer as well. The tension was present, and rising with every step they took.

"We do not think, Lucifer. We know. All the good always wins in the end," said Michael, which made his men cheer.

"Let me prove you wrong," he said, and then maniacally laughed.

He then curled his fingers, causing a mountain of rocks to rise from the ground. And by then, it was chaos.

His men started running towards us, so I flew straight to them and then swung my sword. My sword clashed with Samyaza's, making him smirk.

He then gripped my wrist, infuriating me. I then used my hand to dig my nails on his arm, which made him scream in agony.

"We used to be friends, Kassandra," he said, smirking at me despite his arm dripping with blood from my nails which turned longer.

"All my enemies started out as friends," I said, and then kicked him below there. He then screamed, elbowing my face.

I was stunned.

"Weak, huh?" Samyaza taunted.

My eyes automatically closed, and I couldn't open them. I couldn't control my body, it was moving by itself. What is this?

"Samyaza! This side!"

My hands hurt, but I brushed it off. My whole body felt like it was burning, making me cry out. By then, I was able to open my eyes but I see everything in the shade of red.
