"Hello? Ah yes it's me. Can we meet today?—yeah, like asap? Sorry it's kinda emergency dude. Thanks—oh bring him with you~"
"You're calling an angel? Aren't you supposed to talk to each other by thoughts?" Midorima asked the grey haired teen currently busy texting on his phone.
Akashi swift his pale hands through his face with the black circles under his eyes probably didn't able to get any sleep "So, what is this all about the Uriel thing?"
"Hey, Midorima-san, we are forbidden to use powers when not in need and captain, the Uriel I'm talking about, you know him very well."
The generation of Miracles followed Mayuzumi in every road and intersection he take, they just followed him until they reach an abandoned building. They entered the building and ride the elevator.
"Damn, this place is nasty" Aomine covered his nose to avoid inhaling dust.
Midorima tap the rusty steel bars "This must be an old factory building."
Mayuzumi easily pushed the thick steel door that probably weighs a ton.
"Woah! How—how could you do that?" Kise said he was surprised, not only him but all of them as well.
"Kisechin, he's an angel that's why he has super powers."
What lay beneath the thick steel door was a room painted in pure white from ceilings to walls and floor. Akashi hummed and explored the whole room with his eyes, he saw nothing but pure no single stain kind of white.
"What kind of room is th—"
"Uriel! Oi Uriel!" Mayuzumi called the name twice.
They felt an unexplainable energy rustling behind them.
"Gabriel" he called the angel name of Mayuzumi to introduce his presence.
The group turned around. Akashi's eyes widen obviously surprised and the other four jaw-dropped when they saw the man who they wait for.
"Ah… Uriel—hello brother or should I say, Nijimura Shuzo?" he smiled at the man.
"Nijimura-senpai!?"
"Hi former teammates. It's good to see you all again especially you, Akashi-kun. I guess my secret is exposed haha." Nijimura took a glance on the red head and narrowed his eyes.
"Nijimura-senpai. I'm surprised you're Uriel. So you're watching us all this time since middle school?" Kise immediately asked Nijimura.
"Ah that? No, like what Gab said, the one watching all of you is Shogou. The only person I'm watching is Tetsuya."
Midorima walked step closer to their ex- Teiko captain "Correct me if I'm wrong, you both proclaimed yourselves as angel yet you're working with a devil? Isn't that supposed to be illegal in the terms of heaven?" he glance at Mayuzumi then back to Nijimura.
Nijimura scratched his cheeks pouting "We are not working with him fyi. Don't look down on us kid. I can kill you right here, right now" he pointed his fingers in Midorima's chest "I don't have the obligation to tell you what business we have with Shougo so I'm suggesting you to back off because you don't have business here and what the heck they're doing here Chihiro?"
"Sorry Uriel, they insist and they're here to help so—"
"Help? Brother, you know what is going on right now do you?" He teleports in front of Mayuzumi "and you know what is coming and what's out there. If they're planning on rescuing Tetsuya, tell them to go back home and enjoy the life they had."
"Uri—Shuzo-chan… you know what is important to me?" he leaned closer to Nijimura "To save Tetsuya."
Nijumura chuckles "You choose to side with humans?"
"Hmm… I don't know… Maybe… I just want to save Tetsuya so I'm siding with them."
"Is that so? They are the reason why Tetsuya's soul separated from his body. I can't find him in hell"
"What?!" Mayuzumi Looked at Nijimura sharply.
"I went to hell with the help of some angel in my garrison. We tried to find Tetsuya's soul but… we cannot find it."
"But that's impossible. Shogou told me that Tetsuya made a deal with Lucifer."
The raven haired teen flinched when he heard the name of Lucifer "What did you say? Lucifer?"
Mayuzumi nodded.
"Lucifer never holds any contract between humans and demons— Lilith did."
A terrible silence covered the room as the Generation of Miracles is clueless of what they talking about. Akashi broke the silence "Lilith, as far as I know, the first demon that ever made by Lucifer, am I right?"
Mayuzumi sighed and turned his back from Nijimura. He pinched the bridge of his nose then his temples thinking what kind of deal Tetsuya made with a demon. A second or two, a presence suddenly showed up in front of him.
"Hello Gabriel"
The teen jumped out by surprise "Wha— Cas? Castiel?" and he pat his chest heart throbbing really fast "Don't do that"
"My apologies."
"Oh, Castiel, I told you to come here early" Nijimura walked towards the man with black hair and deep blue eyes, wearing black suit, blue neck tie and trench coat. He has serious look having a worn out muscles in his face. Midorima estimated the age of the man in his late 20's.
The man looked at the group of teens behind Nijimura. He curled his eyebrows waiting for introduction coming from the teens.
"Ah—Cas, this is Tetsuya teammates back in middle school."
Cas boredly nodded "I see..."
"And... they will help to find Tetsuya's soul… if you don't mind"
Castiel walked closer to Akashi. Too close enough to hear each other's breathing. He looks at Akashi straight in the eyes. Studying every part of the red heads thoughts "Powerless. You are indeed a powerless human. But I see potential."
The intimidating attitude of Akashi is no use to the man with the very serious face.
"I went to the morgue to pick the Seraphim's human body but his body is nowhere to be found" Castiel attention diverted to Nijimura and Mayuzumi.
"What do you mean that Kuroko's body is missing?" Aomine frantically said.
"The paramedics brought his body to the hospital as far as I know" Midorima checked his phone but he startled after reading the message.
"What is it Midorimacchi?"
"Gone—Kuroko's body is gone. The hospital staff cannot find his body"
"That means he's ok? He's alive?" the Touou ace hoped for any positive feedback from the green haired man.
"I don't think so" Nijimura cut the conversation "The contract with demon is irreversible. Tetsuya is human, he didn't possess any kind of power like what he have when he was in heaven. I'm going to the hospital… and favor Chihiro, bring those boys back to their mommies."
After what he said, he and Castiel vanished thru the thin air.
Mayuzumi sighed "Okie boys, go home now. I'll take over from here."
"Wait. You said that you will help us" Akashi sharply gazed at Mayuzumi.
"Yes, I will help but first you must do everything I will ask you to do" Mayuzumi handed a piece of paper to the red head "Gather all this things for me. Make sure all the things listed there will be exact, nothing more nothing less. I will contact you and explain later." Mayuzumi vanished like Nijimura did.
The boys gathered in a circle reading the piece of paper that Mayuzumi gave to Akashi.
Ingredients. Most of them will be very hard to find but Akashi is rich, so he can patch up all the ingredients listed without any problems.
This is their first step in bringing back Kuroko Tetsuya's soul.
