Chapter 10: Recruiting the Chaotix

"My God, a demon has taken possession of Blaze," it said. "What should I do? I can't exorcise it or anything."

"Why can't you exorcise it?"

"It is too powerful, even more me," the Seraphim told God.

God thought it over. He sighed and looked at his son. "What should we do? If a demon is too powerful to exorcise..."

"There's no doubt that it'll only become more powerful as time passes." Jesus looked at the Seraphim. "Are you capable of killing the demon?"

"I can try," it told him. "But what about Blaze?"

"She'll die as well if you succeed. I can't think of anything else to do."

The Seraphim sighed and nodded. It gulped and looked at Jesus. "What about Tails? I tried to convince him again, but he's a pretty hardcore atheist. I don't want him going to hell because he doesn't believe; he's my friend."

Jesus looked at his father. "What do you want to do?"

God sighed. "People have free will. If they do not believe in deities, they do not have to. However, they'll suffer the consequences because of sin."

The Seraphim looked at him. "What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that I cannot allow him to come to Heaven."

"But...why?"

"If he does not believe in me, why should I open the gates of Heaven for him?"

The Seraphim nodded. That made sense. "I don't mean to question you, Lord, but it doesn't seem fair that only people who believe in God such as Jews, Christians and Muslims, and haven been forgiven on their sins can come here. Is it because of the sins of Adam and Eve?"

"Yes."

"Very well. What will you have me do next?"

"Continuing gathering people."

The Seraphim nodded and vanished. When it landed on Earth again, it turned back into Sonic and went looking for Amy. It didn't expect it to be too hard to find her. Sonic sighed. It walked around, and then saw Amy. Taking a breath, Sonic walked over.

Amy smiled as she saw him. "Hi," she said. "How are you?"

Sonic sighed. It didn't want to involve Amy in this. "All right. Have you noticed anything strange recently?"

Amy shook her head. "No. Why?"

Sonic nodded. "Just wondering. Thanks, Amy. I'll see you around."

The angel sighed as it continued to look for people it could recruit. It next found itself in front of the Chaotix Detective Agency. It sighed and walked in. Espio looked at it.

"Hello, Sonic. Did you need help with something?"

Sonic smiled. "I do. Have you seen any strange things going on lately?"

All three of them thought about it. "Not really. What should we watch out for?"

"Demons."

"Demons?" Vector asked. "What are you talking about?"

Sonic told them everything. The three looked at him in shock. It was a story they weren't quite sure what to do with.

"I wanna help!" Charmy shouted.

Sonic smiled. It turned into a Seraphim and nodded.

"Then you shall," it said. Charmy stared at the Seraphim in awe. He bowed as did the others. "There's no need for that," it said.

They nodded and stood.

"What do you want us to do?" Espio asked it.

The Seraphim looked at each of them. "I need you to help in the war that Satan is bringing to Earth." They nodded. The Seraphim thought about it. "It would be best if you became angels as well."

It closed its eyes and they vanished. A few minutes later they appeared in Heaven. The three looked around in shock.

"I have been watching you," Jesus said. "Welcome." They stared at him in awe this time, Vector almost not believing his eyes. Jesus smiled. "Do not be afraid."

"Are you... Jesus?" Espio asked.

"I am who I am."

They nodded and bowed. The Seraphim stood off to the side, watching. It smiled and watched as the Son of God made them angels. They stood and bowed, then flew to where it was. "I'll help you learn everything you need to know."

The three angels nodded, and the Seraphim began to train them. As it was training them, the Seraphim told them everything they had to know about fighting the demons. The three angels nodded. They were eager to help. Once they knew everything they needed to know, the four of them stopped training.

"What will happen now?" Espio asked it.

"Now, we have to make sure the demons can't take Earth for themselves. How we go about that is up to Jesus and God." The three angels nodded and flew after the Seraphim. It landed in front of the two deities and bowed. "They've completed their training," the Seraphim said.

"Excellent," Jesus said. He stood up and looked at them.

"Help Sonic. We need to ensure that humanity doesn't all turn to the demons. There are enough of them hovering between sides as it is."

The three angels nodded. Jesus smiled and looked at the Seraphim. It bowed.

"What will you have me do?"

"Return to your duties on Earth."

It nodded and looked at Jesus. "Will my Seraphim form become permanent?"

"Eventually, it might."

The Seraphim smiled and vanished as the other angels did too. The four landed back on Earth and looked around.

"Where should we look?" Espio asked the Seraphim. It looked at him.

"Anywhere."

They nodded and flew off, looking for their friends.
