Republican Guests

Productive time passed for the celestial beings of the Commonwealth of Heaven. Castiel's intimidating diplomatic gambit paid off, and all the angelic forces that visited Hell were successful in obtaining every angel-killing weapon stored there. In exchange, Crowley and dozens of other demons became the whitest-eyed demons possible and agreed to assist their angelic counterparts regarding the problem of the Lesser Darkness. Also, satisfactory progress had been made on the additional heavenly upgrades that had been agreed upon.

Now, in the midst of the grand council, Zachariah was eager to share openly the developments in the heavenly realm with the wayward angels of the Republic of Heaven. Successfully, he requested their leader, none other than Uriel, to arrive with his immediate cohorts and gave him an overview of the situation.

The rebellious Electric One and his immediate cohorts made their first appearance since leading a celestial walk-out by one-third of all living and resurrected angels. Thus he stood, before his Commonwealth counterparts, empowered by his Angel Tablet elsewhere and accompanied by ten of his high-ranking subordinates: Adonael, Arael, Bardiel, Dadrail, Iaoth, Kafziel, Pazriel, Shamnail, Turail, and Xathaniel.

"This issue of the Lesser Darkness had better be worth our time!" complained the main guest, "I've just finished organizing those above the Grigori into Sarim and Memunim, or Princes and Appointed Ones, and those below my regular angels into Hosts in the Heavenly Places!"

"In response to the primordial problem, we are in the middle of making power upgrades for a number of our high-ranking brothers and sisters," explained the former employee of the month for too long to count, "and we would like to share them freely with you."

Surrounded by a heedful Metatron and other superior angels, the one-time subordinate of Michael proceeded to impress the republican guests, and even showed them things such as new Weapons of Heaven and souls of the new monster species known as Eve-lets.

"You could have come with us, Fiery One," lamented the self-proclaimed President for Life.

"As much as the humans are smelly things," countered the Fiery One, "their now-known deficiencies are not worth walking away from."

"Do keep me apprised about all your production," requested Uriel, before he and his subordinates teleported out of the Commonwealth of Heaven.

Metatron noted the smile of achievement on the countenance of Zachariah.
