Chapter 28 THE LAST TASK

The battle will begin today, and only one of us needs to stay, and it would be me. I heard voices from above, and they were all cheering. I can listen to the metal screeching, and It seems that they are preparing for the war. The spiritual war that will begin today is unstoppable. The spiritual war happened billions of years ago and will happen again now, not because we need to know who is mightier but to bring balance to earth. I need to end his ambition of being a god because he will never be one: the thunder roar and the heaven split. The angels from heaven fly down like lightning. The help is here, and I am no longer outnumbered. The war between my brother and me started. While I keep an eye on Maria. I will never allow him to get Maria, or else I will go back from the start of finding the 'pride' to finish the task. I can hear the lost souls screaming as if they are affected by what is happening. They were weeping, and it seemed that they knew what was going on. It is like a big ball of energy full of radiation to them. That makes them uneasy. I can hear spears and swords from the fallen and the arch. The battle begins, and later we will know who's left. The screams of the angels are like a rumble of thunder that makes the sky bright again, like what happened billions of years ago. I suddenly freeze when I remember what happened billions of years ago. I feel like I went back to the first spiritual battle. My brother was allied when I suddenly saw what would happen to humans and the world if he succeeded. I realized that we are not different from the first batch who fought God. I thought joining him would give all tranquillity, especially humans, to have more knowledge rather than wisdom. The new age will bear that will make it less human or inhumane. That is why it is hard for me to turn my back on him. I did the right thing. I switched my side from his side to Michael's side. That made him angry and killed me, he stabbed me behind and watched me fall to the ground with no regret, and he defeated Michael too. Out of his anger, he forms an army loyal to him. He uses humans to manipulate them to show the Divine that he is mightier, and now he is determined to put him down and take over his throne. That is the scene that I saw when Michael fell like a comet to the ground because he fought for me when my brother killed me for switching sides. I shook my head to erase the flashback in my head. It is not the time for flashbacks. When I saw him in front of me now, his raging eyes were determined to put me down and kill me again.
"Hello, brother," He said, and he punched me in my face. He grabbed me on my neck and punched me again, and then he threw me like before in our first face-off. My wings slammed on the building, making it crack. The humans down there are also preparing to face the Nephilim. It is good to see them being, no matter their race, just to fight the bigger enemy. That Nephilim that Samael helps escape gives humans a more significant threat, but humans are ready to face them with their chin up. That makes me smile and inspires me to win this battle against my brother.
He is now in front of me, he is too fast, and he tries to grab me, but I avoid him from catching me. I held his hand with force and smiled at him when I saw him struggling. It seems that he is not at ease facing me. I am stronger than before, even though he underestimates me. I punched him with my left hand, but he avoided it. He teleports, and now he is behind me. He kicked me hard, and I flew in the air. I bumped into the seraphim, which was fighting the other fallen angel. When the fallen angel is about to stab him, I grab the angel in the face and throw him to Samael. They both roll in the air with their wings twisted to each other, and they fall to the ground like a comet. I follow him because I am not yet done with him. The battle has just started, and I am just warming up. He killed me before, and I will not allow him to kill me again. I grabbed him by his collar, and he smiled at me. From Samael, he changed into an angel that I saw a while ago inside his house. The angel with long hair and an innocent face but a fierce look. She is not Samael, and she tricked me.
"Hello," He said from behind me, and now I am facing the real Samael. He grabbed my wings with force, and he tried to break them. He wants to tear my wings apart. He was tearing it with full force, and I started to feel pain.
"Ahhh!!!" I screamed while looking at him, tearing my wings with his bare hands. I feel in pain now. I feel like my heart is crushing too, and soon if I will not stop him. My heart will stop beating and I will lose the fight but I will not allow him to defeat me. He defeats me once and he will never defeat me again.
"Ahhh!!!" I screamed in pain again. At the same time, he continues in what he is doing. It seems that he is enjoying tearing my wings. I can't fly away from him. I can't even move.
When I saw a phoenix going down from heaven, I knew it was Michael. She is not mad at me even though I hurt her the last time we met. She punched Samael, and Samael dropped me down. Thanks to Michael, she is just right on time before Samael kills me. He looks at Michael, and they fight with each other while dealing with the other angel who pretends to be him. She is stronger than I expected. She touched me on my face and looked me in the eye. Her eyes turned white too, like Samael, and she opened her mouth. There's some energy coming from me, and I feel like I am getting weak because of what she is doing. She is getting my energy. This cannot be. I have to do something, or else I will be drained. I concentrate, and I remember what Samael said that we are twins. So there's a possibility that I can do what he can do, and this angel in front of me, sucking my energy, is his creation. It is him. He divides himself to make another him, and I will absorb her energy, and I will become stronger while Samael will be weaker. I hold her face, look into her eyes, and absorb her energy too while absorbing my energy back. I heard a screeching sound again that she created. I saw her light getting dim. I continued absorbing her until her light died. In an instant, she got burned and turned into ash in my hands. There's white smoke coming out from her, and it suddenly burns and turns into ash too. I feel an energy flowing in me, and I feel stronger than before. My hair colour turned grey, and Now, I have to deal with my brother.
When I was about to go to him, there was a giant who grabbed my whole body and shook me and then threw me to the humans, but I stopped myself to land on them and carried that giant and pulled his ribs out like what I did to Jopher. I am full of energy now, and I feel unstoppable. I went to my brother and told Michael to get Maria out of here. Make her safe because she is just there covered with my black smoke. She agreed with what I said, and she immediately went to Maria and secured her. Now it is my brother and me.
"You think you will win on me?" He asked, and he laughed an insulting laugh. He belittles me because he thought that he is superior.
"Yeah", I answered with a smile because I was confident that I would win this fight.
My father and Tania are flashing in my head. It gives me the courage to defeat him. We fight. He changes himself to look like me. His eyes are now black, and he is creating black smoke now. That is impossible for him to copy me. If he can copy me, I can copy him too. My tattoo turned into blue fire, while his tattoo turned into a red blaze. He strangled me and threw me away. I bumped into many buildings. I saw humans watching me while their jaws dropped. I just wink at them to tell them that there's nothing to worry about, even though my wings are broken, and my left eye is almost closed. I fell to the ground and fixed my wings. I tried to stand up but I couldn't. I saw his white smoke coming, and I don't know why my instinct says to grab it. So I grabbed it, and I was amazed because I could hold it with my hands. His white smoke is like a snake now held captive by the head; that is why it keeps on struggling. I smile because I already know what to do. I pulled his white smoke and absorbed it. I want it to be inside of me, to be a part of me, to be my energy, and I will use it against him. I heard him scream, and he looked dizzy and weak because he had lost another energy. I smiled at him and greeted him, "Hello, brother." He looked at me, and he smiled back like nothing was happening. I showed him his white smoke behind me, following my orders now. I point at him, and automatically I own his white smoke now. I Attacked him, but he protected himself using my black smoke, which surprised me. He absorbs my black smoke too, and now he is using it against me. I am shocked and just watch him fly away because I didn't expect that he would do that. I suddenly saw Tania's face looking at me as I watched my brother fly away. I shook my head and went back to my senses. He doesn't need to escape because the battle will end today, and I will make him pay for everything. I followed him, and I discovered that he was just tricking me. He didn't use my black smoke. It is still his white smoke, but he turned it into black by using illusion. He creates an illusion for me to believe, and now he is flying away from me. Maybe he is looking for a place where he can hide. He can hide, but he can't run away from me because I keep on following him. When I heard Maria scream in terror. I looked at her, and I saw Samael and his white smoke were there trying to break the protection that I made to get Maria. I thought Michael was there to protect Maria. When I suddenly remember that Samael can copy and create an illusion. I smile because he tricked me again. That coward. I am following the one who is not him, but one of his loyal angels and the one with Maria is not Michael, but it is him. I turned around and flew to Maria because the real Samael was there. After forming an angel, the fake Samael turned into a cloud of white smoke, and now it is running after me. I snap, and immediately the white smoke stops chasing me, and they get burned, turning into ash. I don't know how I do that, but I need to save Maria now because I don't want to go back from the start if he gets Maria. I grabbed him away from her. Like what he did to me, I made him face me. I want him to look me in the eye and command his white smoke to eat him, and immediately his white smoke attacks him.

"Aahhhh!!!" I heard him shouting. He tries to fight back, but he can't fight anymore because the smoke attacking him makes him weak. Not me.
I know it is painful for him to be attacked by his energy, but I have no choice. He is unstoppable, that is why he needed to be stopped, and that is what I am doing. I made him look at me because I wanted him to see that it was not an illusion like what he did. It is real, his white smoke is attacking him for real, ready to kill him, and little by little, his light is shutting down, and he is getting weak. I am absorbing his energy. I became stronger while he became weaker. I heard the Nephilims scream in pain and covered their ears like they heard sound waves that hurt their ears as well as his army and the beasts that he created. I continued sucking his energy until he got burned and turned into ash. My eyes turned grey, and my tattoo got doubled. It is burning too, but it is not burning me. Now it is like a number eight in a teardrop form. I heard the humans scream for Victory. They are raising their weapon in the sky to show Victory. I saw hope in the lost souls too. I saw a paper with pride written on it, burned before it touched my hand. The task is done, and the seven deadly sins are gone. The barrier gets thick again. The heaven opens, and the seven archangels kneel, including Michael, fighting the Nephilims to protect the humans. I defeated Samael, and he is gone, same with Maria. The Nephilim he helped to escape just to give terror to humans are gone. As well as his army of angels. They all turned into ash one by one when their master got defeated. Husk and Tusk returned to themselves. A cute white cub is also looking up in the sky, watching the angels. I looked up in heaven, and I saw God welcoming me with a smile and with the seraphim beside him. I heard the trumpet and the guardian angels singing as they welcomed my Victory, but the ground suddenly shakes, and the debris falls from the buildings. I listened to the humans shout, and I looked down to see what was happening. The humans are getting ready to battle again if something from below the ground appears. The angels are forming into a defence mode and protecting God from what is coming. After shaking, the ground cracks and creates an enormous crater. We are waiting for what will happen next, and the ground starts to shake again, and souls are crawling out one by one. Until there are plenty of them, they are the pure souls held captive by Samael and hidden under the world for long years to use them as his slaves. Now they are free, and they are ready to meet God. Suddenly the wings bigger than them appear at their back, spreading wide. It flies them to heaven because they are now angels who are free and ready to be in God's arms. If there are fallen angels, a new breed of angels will rise. I watched them flying freely in the sky because, after long years, they were now free.
"Hi," The voice of the boy calls to me when I look at him.
"Thank you," He said, and I was surprised to see that it was Victor. His wings are more extensive than him, and he is full of positivity and purity even though he has been locked up in the underworld. He is smiling at me. I smiled back at him and watched him fly up into the sky. He is ready to go where he is supposed to be and meet the angels like him. At least I am complacent that he is in good hands now even though he is forgotten, and the humans. When I looked down? They start kneeling and bow their heads. Both believers and non-believers when they witnessed what happened today.

I am happy that we won the battle, and everything will be back to where they were supposed to be. My colour turned grey, my hair, eyes, and even my wings. I bring the lost souls to the afterlife, including my father. I hugged my father for the last time because once he is in the afterlife, he will be reprogrammed to forget everything and start a new life if he chooses to be reincarnated. He will forget everything about me, his son Isaac. Now they can have a new chapter because death is not the end, but it is the start of a new beginning, and I believe that I am not just dead, but I am living too. Michael approached me in his proper form, and I didn't know that he was bigger than I expected when he came close to me. He congratulated me because he didn't expect to win the fight against my brother. He thought I was weak and hard-headed, but I proved him wrong. I can go back to heaven now. The gate is open for me, and the guardian angels and the seraphim are waiting for me. It's been a long time since I haven't seen what's inside heaven, and I am excited to go back, but I choose to stay on earth even for one day because once I enter heaven, I will never go back to earth again like my father. I will be reprogrammed too. To forget everything that happened.
