Chapter 7: painful reminders

Start from the beginning
                                    

The Angel in front of me is the same one that turned me into what I am now.

"Nice to see the freak is still kicking! I always wondered how the other demons haven't hated you yet?" She spoke with curiosity and malice.

"While may not be obvious it is certainly obvious that heaven and Gabriel have all but abandoned you at this point. No point of trying to go back to heaven now right?"

Exterminator Angel are better known as Lucifer's Followers. They fell from grace with their boss after the uprising. When they were out of the job Lucifer had them disguise themselves as exterminator angels to deal with the sinner population. It was simple and easy solution to keep their hunger and anger in check. This Angel hear told me all about it before she presumably killed me that day.

"I know why your here but karma's debt has already been paid. So walk away from this and move on."

"MOVE ON!?!? After you cut off my arm and humiliated me in front of Lucifer himself!? I will never forget it!? I will make you suffer!" She says summoning her scythe.

"You have brought on yourself Angel. The deal you made with house Ivalice I remember it all! I am only focused on house Ivalice but if you get I my way I won't hesitate to put a bullet your head."

My sense kicked up as I looked around ten more angels emerge from the tree line. They all readied their weapons as the main one laughed.

"I will kill you worthless dog. All these years have been leading up to this very moment. I will kill you and earn the Favour of my fellow angels once more!"

"I gave one chance to walk away but you are so adamant about this then I will oblige." My hands hovered over my holsters.

I count eleven angels all circle around me. I check my pockets for more ammo.

"Shit."

I left my ammo bag In the office. The ammo in my revolvers and rifle are all I have. Six shots in each revolver and twelve loaded in the rifle. The silence was tense as no one dared move in this very moment until it went off.

"Kill him!"

They all charged at me. I pulled my revolvers and I fired three from mercy and went into three angels killing them. I fired two from oblivion at the main Angel. She managed to deflect them with her scythe.

I fired two from mercy killing two more angels until I was hit my a kick knocking mercy from my hand. A light spear was coming for me but I used my blessed hand to grab it. With it in my hand I swung it and it pierced one of the angels in the eye they screamed as they tried to pull it out. I tricked another angel sclice the pierced angel's head off. I fired three bullets from oblivion killing three angels separately.

I holstered oblivion as I pulled out my rifle and I fired at the final two angels they dodged the bullets and swung their scythes pulling the rifle from me.

"Looks like he's finally cornered. Ha! What a little mutt he is without his little guns!" They taunted.

I dodged left and right from their weapons. Until the main Angel struck my back and kicked me to the ground. The other two angels stabbed my arms pinning them to the ground.

"Ah sweet sweet vengeance." She said stabbing my stomach with the scythe. My cries of agony were kept silent as I tried not to give her that.

"So strong and so mighty! All the more fun to see you break!" She said stomping on my right leg breaking it.

I tried to keep my cries silent but I failed. She laughed with such glee as continued to torture me. It was like the cleansing all over again.

"Let's see you break!"

I was about to pass out until I remembered. I remember being torn away from my parents. I remember the Angel crying in agony from her arm being severed. I remember the promise I made to myself.

"I need to kill house Ivalice only after that may I die."

I regained my focus as I moved my arms and I grabbed a scythe. Using it I broke free the others and I decapitated the other two angels and I kicked the last one to the ground. She tried to get away but I grabbed her wings and I ripped them off while breaking her legs.

She turned around only to see me holding oblivion to her head. As rain began to fall I saw her face full of horror.

"No. This wasn't supposed to happen! I was supposed to get my revenge!" It was impossible to her. Despite my injuries I still stood strong and unbreaking.

"Next time just walk away."

Rain fell as the Angel began to beg me to spare her. I remained steadfast as her pleas fell on deaf ears. I pulled the hammer back of oblivion my eyes were cold and my stone.

At last I pulled the trigger as the Angel screamed in agony before they fell silent. I have no remorse for her. All she gave me was a painful reminder of who I am what the monster I have become.

The injuries began to take their toll so I called Loona to open the portal. But before that I had to cover my arm and eye once more. Used whatever bandages I could find and covered my arm it managed to conceal it. For my eye I tore off a piece of my pants for a make shift bandage. Once I walked through I fell on the table due to my broken leg. The others rushed to my side asking what happened. Worry covered their faces but most of all Loona was holding me in her arms asking what happened.

"Exterminator angels. It was a trap. I managed to kill them all but my injuries got the better of me."

I asked them to get me the bandages and send me home. They were a bit hesitant mainly Loona but they complied. I told them that they can visit me every now and then to check up if they wanted.

Blitzo got me into the van drove me home. I managed to hide my arm and eye so they are still clueless about them.

Once at home I began to patch myself up and I went to bed.
