With Lawrence dead and half the elders gone, Charles Force was the only choice left for Regis. He grunted in dissatisfaction " Sure they want me" he continued, " When I'm the last choice. Gee I feel so welcome" he laughed bitterly as he headed toward the Committee Meeting to discuss the war that's soon to come.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mimi Force sighed as the arguments over the war and the silver bloods went on and on. She felt a ache in her heart as she watched Jack from the corner of her eyes. He would never truly be hers and the visit to Rio was no help either. She suppressed another sigh as she closed her eyes and replayed the night when the half blood slut returned to the Force's mansion and barged into Charles office and screamed at him to do something about the silver blood situation. She told him to get off his ignorant butt and get elected as Regis because Lawrence was no longer capable of doing so, in other words he's dead. Even though she hated to admit it Schuyler's advice did the trick, Charles is once again Regis, at least one good thing came from Brazil.

And since most of the elders were wiped out, the committee needed new members. Of coarse the elders didn't want to use new blue bloods that were in their sunset years but what choice did we have. Fortunately Jack was instated with a few others and unfortunately the half blood. As Mimi turned her attention to the rising arguments among the elders she heard Forsyth, Bliss's father, make an interesting comment.

"What about the prophecy?" said Forsyth. The prophecy of coarse why hadn't she thought of that, at least it would solve one of her problems. If they followed the prophecy, Mimi could easily get rid of Schuyler.

"I second that" Mimi shouted as she felt Jack stiffen at her side.

"Mimi there is no need to shout" Charles said

" There is if I want to be heard of all this noise," Mimi muttered.

Charlie groaned.

"What's prophecy." Schuyler asked.

" Thank you for your peculiar comment Forsyth, and since you mentioned, would you care to explain it to Schuyler and some of our newer members" Charlie said sarcastically.

"It would be my honor, Charles. Schuyler, There was a prophecy made by one of strongest blue bloods over millennia ago. In the prophecy it is said that the daughter of light will kill Lucifer. Seeing that Gabrielle is the angel of Light and you're her daughter…." Forsyth trailed off.

" So that means the prophecy is about me."

"Obviously" Mimi smirked, "but don't worry we don't expect you to stand a chance against Lucifer."

"Schuyler you don't have to, your still not done with your sunset years-" Charles began to say until Schuyler cut him off.

"I'll do it" Schuyler murmured.

"What" all the elders turned to face the half blood. All of the elders but Mimi, instead she decided to take a peek at her twin to see his reaction. He remained calm but as Mimi turned around a look of dread and pain passed his face.

"I said I'll do it, I'll battle Lucifer. I don't want anyone else to die and I'll be the last one if I have to" the half blood barked.

"No you can't possibly agree to that Regis" Jack voice boomed from beside Mimi, " She's fifteen."

"I could be thirteen and I'd still do it," Schuyler continued, " People like my grandfather and Dylan and Aggie they deserved a chance to live and now they'll never have it. Elders you have to agree, I know you don't want to see anyone else die and if it has to end with me then so be it."

"Charles, you can't" Jack shouted

"I'm afraid I have to, she's our last chance," Charles muttered.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Schuyler, I received a message from the Silver Bloods. Lucifer has truly returned and has agreed to battle you Schuyler" Charles said to Schuyler as the Forces ate dinner Thursday night at the large four level mansion she refused to call home.

"What did you expect?" she laughed humorlessly.

" Are you sure about this, Schuyler?" He murmured.

"Well its too late now" She chuckled darkly.

"Schuyler" Charles voice took on a warning tone.

"Yes, yes I'm sure" She sighed "When the battle?"

"Tonight" Charles whispered.

So soon Schuyler thought but instead she said, "I'll be ready."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Schuyler climbed that stairs she started to ponder about the battle. What does one wear to a battle, she mused, or rather my demise because who am I kidding, I'm not going to last a second against Lucifer. Shesighed as she turned the next corner and ran smack into the one person that held her heart in his hands even though he didn't know it. Jack. She looked into his eyes as they bore through hers and winced.

"Why" he whispered

"Why what, why did I break up with you or why am I battling Lucifer." I said.

"Both" he tried to smirk but instead it turned into a grim smile.

To protect you, I whimpered in my mind but instead I said, " I don't know."

I mentally slugged myself with all the free time I had I couldn't think up better answers to questions that are obviously going to come up.

"Wait," he said stopping me from leaving into my room, " Protect me from what?"

Schuyler cursed mentally. *&!# I forgot he could read my mind.

Jack chuckled despite himself "nice choice of words."

" Jack I left because if our relationship went any further you'd end up like Gabrielle. In a coma. You might be okay with that but I can't be. Having a mother as a vegetable is quite enough, enough pain to last me a lifetime. Be with Mimi, Jack. Be happy. Have kids and pretend that us never happened."

"But I don't love Mimi, Schuyler. I lov-"he said.

"Don't, its to hard for me already. And I have to get ready." I said as I loosened his grasp on my wrist and walked into my room shutting it behind me.

Turns out I didn't need to worry about what to wear. An outfit was already laid out on the bed for me. It was a sleeveless white silk gown with a gold arm bracelet and white ballet flats. The outfit was simple but still beautiful in every aspect. However instead of putting it on I walked to nightstand where a note from Charles was laying.

Schuyler,

This dress was what your mother war during the Great War. Since armor is useless against Blue Blood swords, there's no use in wearing any. The battle will take place in Venice and our flight will be leaving in an hour. Be ready and best of Luck, Charles.

The flight to Venice was short, even the carriage (yes, carriage) ride to the fields where the battle would take place passed quickly. Maybe time goes by quickly when you're awaiting your demise. Maybe not. I stepped out of the carriage with Mimi and Jack a few step behind me incase Lucifer tried to cheat and get his silver bloods to kill me while I'm distracted. Time seemed to go a million times slower as I took each agonizing step toward Lucifer and my fate. I heard Jack foot falls come closer and I slowed my pace.

"Goodbye Jack. Its been fun right," I said trying to not cry.

"Fun" he spat, "Schyuler, I love you."

I felt Mimi stop beside me and realized she heard everything and was mentally battling it out with Jack. I sighed and quickly bent down to untie the ballet flats that I was supposed to fight in(who are they kidding I'll never be able to fight in these) and removed them as I came back up.

"Don't worry Mimi it's to late now. Goodbye twins its been a nice run " I whispered as I bowed my head, threw Mimi my shoes, and ran to my death ignoring the voices I left behind.

"Hello Princess" Lucifer bowed as I neared him.

"What are you talking about? I'm no princess. ?" I said confused.

"Well I guess the elders haven't figured out your past lives yet have they. Doesn't matter now seeing as at this moment I'll have the advantage."

And so the fight began.

It was brutal to say the least. He took more than a few hits but I didn't give up. I'll be the last one to die if it means no one else will have too. He punched me to the ground and put his sword to my neck. No I have to help her I heard Jack's voice call out. No he wouldn't stand a chance.

And than something snapped.

And I was the one throwing the punches and the kicks. It was like an out of body experience. Yes I was kicking Lucifer's butt, but I never mastered the velox and now I was what …a pro. Moving at speeds even faster than Mimi and Jack. At first Lucifer was stunned but he quickly got over it and matched all my punches with his own and I matched all my kicks with his as if we knew each other from before and knew what to expect.

"Ah. You remember how to fight now princess," sighed Lucifer.

"What are you talking about. I'm not a princess." I groaned as he took out his sword at the same moment I revealed mine and tried to aim for my neck as I defiantly thwarted his attempt.

"Yes, yes you are a princess but I don't see how it matter now," He said and than slowly his smirk weakened when I thrust my sword against his.

"Lucifer, it is time for your reign to end" I yelled as his sword clattered to the ground and in one smooth motion brought my own sword to his neck. I heard a gasp from Mimi and all the elders who had gathered around to see the prophecy unfold. Lucifer had been defeated and as I looked into his eyes I realized that for first time in his existence the fallen prince of heaven actually seemed scared. As I pulled my sword back and thrust it forward, something pierced my backside, an arrow. And than another came soon after and then another. I heard an echoing scream and quickly realized it was my own voice. I looked up to see Bliss, holding a bow and an arrow aimed at me.

"Why?" I whispered as I slowly fell to the ground one tear escaping my eyes.

"Because Schuyler, Lucifer is my father and my prince" Bliss sighed.

"Schuyler" a voice I knew only to well shouted from the crowd. Jack.

I felt the black tides threaten to drag me under as I fought to keep my eyes open.

"Jack" I whispered as more tears fell from my eyes. I knew it wouldn't be long now until I finally gave up the fight against the darkness. I reached for his cheek and weeped as he raised my head into his lap. I felt his own tears drench me as he murmured, " don't leave."

"I don't have a choice anymore, Jack," I said as my voice slowly faded.

"No." He sobbed.

"I- I love..." I whispered but before I could finish the black water dragged me under. With everyone distracted, Lucifer coward that he was slid away into the darkness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" You did this" Jack roared at Bliss.

"It had to be done" Bliss muttered

"No it didn't…" Jacks rage was cut short as a blinding light shot from Schuyler's body and a lean figure with piercing blue eyes appeared.

Swarszki, princess of Heaven, appeared in front of her body.

"I am Swarszki, princess of Heaven," the woman said as gasps rose from the crowds. Swarszki, a fallen angel of Heaven by choice. The only one to come with Michael and Gabrielle to their descend from grace. But she was lost when she never recycled, wasn't she? Her powers were legendry and often thought as only myths.

She turned to Bliss, "You dare kill me Blue Blood" Swarszki raged.

"No, no your majesty I only killed Schuyler" Bliss whimpered earning a glare from Jack who was still huddled by Schuyler's dead body.

The archangel bellowed a laugh as she shouted, " I am Schuyler."
"Angel, Bliss, you've awoken my memories and my powers and for that I will thank you," the princess groaned. "To bad I was in the mood for a little butt whipping. You really are fortunate that I don't kill you. Don't you dare annoy me again or next time you won't be so lucky" The archangel cackled as the light dulled and she disappeared.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Schuyler" Jacks voice rang as he felt her fingers twitch. Every bone her pulsed as Schuyler opened her eyes and adjusted to the light as the last trace of darkness left her vision.

"Hey" She muttered.

"Hey yourself" he chuckled.

Schuyler flinched as a screech came from the crowd and Jack stiffened as he saw Azreal sprinting, sword in hand. As he got ready to stop her, Schuyler put a hand to restrain him and shook her head. Schuyler painfully stood up and waived her hand in front of Azreal's rushing figure.

Mimi's (Azreal) body froze in the midst of a jump; unfortunately her mouth could still speak.

" What are you doing," she screeched as Jack gasped in awe. Schuyler waved her hand again and Mimi went flying into a wall and groaned in pain, but stopped long enough for the elders to restrain her.

"Mimi, stop resisting" Charles Force's voice boomed to his daughter. To Schuyler he muttered as he knelt to the ground "I'm sorry your Majesty."

As the pain came back Schuyler felt her body stiffen and saw the ground come closer but before she could crash into the cement she felt someone grab her waist.

"She's exhausted" She heard Jack's voice murmur, as it also grew fainter and farther away until the darkness swallowed her and she welcomed it as an escape from the pain.
