Barachiel stood to his feet and looked at Gabriel, then glanced to Raphael. A very empty look was in his eyes as he knew what would happen in the next few moments, for Gabriel, all hope had been lost centuries ago. Father had gifted them exile, his reasoning was unknown to Barachiel but Gabriel had lost faith. He could see it in his eyes, he was already lost

"Michael, Raphael....he is lost to us. And he has been for centuries, you know this. Why would that change now? His reasons for coming to us now are obvious. We are on the path to righteousness as he is on the path to despair. Keep your hope and do not shed it to him of Jhudiel or we shall be lost as well"

As Barachiel finished he walked to Michael's side

"I agree with Barachiel, on he's thoughts."

Jhudiel looks at the crack while walking next to Gabriel

Sealtiel lets out a soft sigh as he looks at the crack. He gets up and walks next to Gabriel. He looks at Barachiel and nods his head in agreement.

Michael was not sure weather to believe it or not, he still had that hope within his eyes.

"Even so, Barachiel... Raphael's premonition never failed us before, we must close the crack in the sky, even if it means holding captive Gabriel"

((I wonder when Gabriel will post ><, we need to make our Living World debut at some time.))

"Holding Gabriel captive" Sealtiel said under his breathe. He crossed his arms as he stared at Gabriel, his glance switching between Gabriel and Michael.

Gabriel chuckles for the first time in a long time

"You cannot control what happens on the other side of the fence"

He looks up the the sky as the crack begins to grow larger in the sky, he smiles and looks around at his brothers and sisters surrounding him, watching his every move

"Even now the shinigami's incompetance has finally backfired on the old man, we shall reshape the world in his original image. Wipe out the human plague and establish a new order. If you are with me in this crusade then follow me through the hole in the sky"

Gazing directly at Michael with a deadpan look upon his face

"If you are against us then stay out of our way i implore you"

Kicking himself from the ground he begins to fly towards the crack in the sky

Sealtiel's glance went up as he noticed Gabriel leave through the crack.
"Should we follow?" He asked Michael.

Michael without warning flung from the ground imidiately appearing next to Gabriel pointing the dull end of a blade towards his neck.

"I wont allow it, not on my watch, you will help us close this crack weather you like it or not."

"Michael... really? You would point that blade at your own brother?" Gabriel looked into his eyes as he smirked at him

Placing his hand on the dull end of the sword he begins to press down on it, with open arms he beckons Michael in for a hug

An almost hypnotic like glare from Gabriel radiates between the two

"I'm so sorry brother"

Suddenly, like in a trance, Michael was unable to move, he felt comfortable, sleepy even. "What... Gabriel, what are you doing?" he asked as he was seemingly being dragged by Gabriel.
