A/N: Ah, one more chapter after this one...

Well, sorry it took over a year to finish a story I could've finished quickly. I've literally had a bunch of stories that are longer than this finished in a shorter time. At least I'm finishing it I guess, plus it's something to do during this pandemic. And I finally finished one of my other stories, so more time for this! Anyway, here's the next chappie, a labour of my hard work.

Also, thanks for voting for the new god! You all wanted Chef to be God rather than Chris. Guess it's just known that Chris would make a terrible god.

Before I forget, Guest reviewer JustaFriend I'm not planning on leaving any of my stories unfinished (this one included). I have to admit I haven't prioritized this one, placing it at the back and as something I can 'finish later'. I didn't think later would be over a year later. Plus I love the idea of heaven and hell too! I'm glad you like this story too.

Anyway, I just wanted to say I've gotten this far so I will finish this. I more or less vowed to finish all things I start on here. So no story of mine will be discontinued, no matter how long it takes to finish them! UWU

Hope you're all safe and well,

D.L.D

P.s. It's a double update today! Just so you guys can get the ending *Happy noises*

Bridgette's P.O.V

"I think they stopped," I say as I fail to feel anyone pushing against the barn door.

So far everyone's been trying to keep the animals safe from the conflict outside, as well as stop the soldiers from getting in. We've succeeded, however, their silence is concerning me. No-one tries to attack somewhere and just walks away peacefully if they can't succeed. Usually there's some sort of fight or struggle.

"Finally," Noah sighed, "I was getting a migraine from that noise."

Everyone, including the guardians, nodded in agreement, while I just looked at the door. Something told me they weren't done; not yet anyway.

"You have a hunch?" I gasped as my guardian popped up. She had her hair in a short blonde ponytail, wearing a baby blue hoodie and some capri shorts. I'd forgotten we all had one.

"Yeah..." I say as I recollect myself, "I don't think the soldiers are done. No-one just walks away like that."

She nodded, "I agree. They have to be planning something -"

Suddenly a horse neighed, immediately bucking in its pen. That isn't normal.

"DJ, go check on the animals," Leshawna rolled her eyes, "You too Ella."

The two nodded and went to check on the animals. Everything seemed fine until we heard someone shriek.

"They set it on fire!" DJ's voice screeched.

"Oh, the poor thing..." Ella's voice joined his, "I'll sing to cheer it up!"

The sound of singing filled the barn as the horse's whinnies and neighs calmed down. All the while, the rest of us were inspecting the other pens as well as the barn itself. If any other part was on fire, then the whole building would burn down, forcing us out. Then we'd have to hope for the best in battle, as well as protect the animals.

"I found the source!" Emma's voice called out.

"Coming!" I abandon my post at the door and leave my guardian to deal with it.

I then looked at the source. It was a pile of grass and twigs set alight by a match, burning away in a pile of hay. All I did is growl as I dumped some water on it. Wait...where did I get the water from?

I looked at my hands to see small droplets of water on them. Everyone looked at me equally astonished. Did I just do that?

"How can you do that?" Emma raised a brow, "Didn't the founders of Heaven die?"

"Yeah, they did," Cody agreed, "And their powers were watered down through the generations, altering it useless today."

"I know," I breathe.

"So how can you use yours?" Leshawna raised a brow, "And wouldn't that mean all of us have some sort of power?"

"I guess," I shrugged, "Maybe Dawn could sort this out? I mean she knows the most about the founding of Heaven and stuff."

Suddenly there was a high pitched scream and then the sound of hurried footsteps, joined with singing.

"Fire by the bunnies!~" Ella sang as she approached us, "I'm trying to calm them~"

I nodded before sighing and heading towards the fire. This was going to be a long ordeal.

Courtney's P.O.V

"Finally!" I smiled as I removed my sword from Alejandro's chest.

I had finally defeated him in battle and my guardian seemed equally as happy. We were proud, after all most girls would've fallen for his charms, but I'd persevered and won. Maybe I had my rocky past relationships to thanks for that.

"I see you've killed the eel," A stocky girl stood in front of me.

She has short, dirty blonde hair and wore worn, dented armor. It looked as if she took pride in her rugged appearance, perhaps even using it to intimidate people. To me, it just showed no commitment.

"And what of it?" I raised a brow, "Isn't he your teammate?"

"Nah, Ale-jerko was a pain," She smirked, before raising her sword, "But seeing as you did kill one of my 'teammates' I guess I'll have to off you. It's a shame because your skills would've been useful for our team."

I just smiled as I got into my ready position. If she was ready to up my kill counter, then she's more than welcome to. I'd been looking forward to having a one-on-one battle with someone who was actually serious about the fight.

Immediately our weapons clashed, small sparks hitting the trodden and bloody grass. I could tell from her stocky appearance that the girl had been training for this moment for years, or was just a bully. Probably the second. Either way she knew that she'd have someone to fight. She just didn't know that someone wasn't going to lose. Not today.

Guardian Courtney sat in a tree, watching as the girl and I exchanged blows. She seemed to be content, munching on something as she hummed a tune.

"Her name's Jo!" She randomly called out.

I just ignored her and continued to fight with Jo. I aimed for her gut mostly, knowing that it'd immobilize her. Problem was she did too. It was a competition between who could get to whose gut first and judging my how swiftly I had to move, Jo was...winning. Embarrassing I know. Plus she'd managed to cut my arm and leg, while I'd only managed to leave a mark on her temple. I was looking like roadkill compared to her...

"Her name's short for Josephine," My guardian suddenly called out.

Jo cringed at the sound. She then turned to face guardian me.

"Hey! How'd a runt like you know my name?"

"Because I know all," Guardian me smirked.

"Sure, cause a kid like you is definitely wise," Jo scowled, turning her back on me to point her sword at the guardian.

"And someone like you shouldn't be so fat," Guardian Courtney smiled smugly.

Since Jo had turned her back, I took the chance to attack. Moving quickly I plunged my sword into Jo's back, making sure it punctured a lung or something. The brute immediately groaned in pain before falling to the ground. Blood spilled everywhere, soaking the soil as Jo slowly lost consciousness. I stared blankly as her corpse grew limp, the color fading from her face.

"We did it!" Tiny me cheered as she floated down from the tree, "I knew taunting her would work."

"So that's why you were in the tree," I smiled.

"Yep," She grinned, "We do make a great team!"

"We sure do," I laughed.

Amy's P.O.V

I dashed through the woods, making sure not to trip over any roots or bushes. I needed to get out of here before anyone asked where I was. If the the opposition knew I was escaping, then Heather knew I was escaping. If Heather knew I was escaping wouldn't lead to anything good. Trust me.

I continued through the trees, often sticking to the shadowy areas. Some people were battling close to here, meaning I had to be extremely careful around them. They were often too busy fighting to care about me though, so I easily slunk past. Then I heard a voice.

"Who dares to pass through my woods!" The voice was feminine and I heard it from the trees.

Brushing it aside, I continued onward. I don't need to stop for some crazy tree person. I can easily get past.

"Are you really going to ignore the great Ellievor?" I froze as I heard that name.

There was this story that went around while I was a kid. It was about some woods and apparently an angel was wrongly imprisoned there by a demon. It then stole her body, splitting her mind into two. She then went back to kill her family and friends, before making herself a home in the woods that changed her. It ended with her killing anyone who didn't answer her when passing through 'her' woods.

"No, of course not!" I laughed sheepishly, "I just didn't recognise you."

"Are you sure?" The voice was close. Too close. "Because I don't recognise you!"

The voice's owner then popped out. It was some ginger dressed in green. She had a distant look in her eyes and grinned as she spotted me. Definitely a raving lunatic.

"I knew you were part of the opposition!" She beamed as she grabbed a dagger, "And everyone said I was crazy for hiding in the woods. I just stopped another enemy from deserting. This'll definitely up my kill score, maybe I'll get a shiny medal for it too!"

"Hey, can't we reach an agreement," I say as I place my hand behind my back. My hand wrapped around the hilt of my sword. Luckily I thought to bring a weapon with me.

"Agreement? What type?" The ginger froze.

"Ah...well I -"

"You have nothing, therefore no agreement," The ginger then sprung onto me.

I had reached my weapon just in time as I countered her attack. She sighed in frustration.

"You now made my job a thousand times harder!" She huffed as she tried to bring the dagger closer, "I want that medal!"

"Well, I don't want to die," I say rather blatantly.

"Fair point," She nodded as she continued to try and kill me.

Gwen's P.O.V

"Gwen!" Dawn comes bounding up to me, her pale face red with effort, "Gwen, you need to come with me."

I'd been sent back to where Zoey and some others were handling injuries. Duncan had left to go help in the battle, leaving me to think about my close encounter with the final death.

I run my hand over my neck, shivering as I can still feel the blade lodged there, Scarlett grinning madly as she looked directly in my eyes. Blood lust. The one thing that can describe the whole ordeal. Really, there was no need for her to draw it on for that long. But then again I wouldn't be alive if she did.

"Gwen, we have no time to think," Dawn grabbed me softly by the arm, leading me towards the exit, "We have a huge mistake to fix."

"What do you mean?" I say as the blonde begins guiding me down a series of paths and turns.

We were getting further and further away from the building that was being used as a makeshift hospital. In fact we'd ended up in what looked like a wooded area. Greenery surrounded me from all angles, a few animals rushing past but many being caught in the battle not too far away.

"I had a vision," Dawn stops, seating herself on a rock.

We were by a stream, the once clear water stained red from blood. A few smooth rocks were scattered across it, many lining the bank. I decided to seat myself on one beside Dawn, ignoring the water that sprayed on me. A vision was something to be treated seriously. In fact it was something that often led to a disastrous event. But that would make no sense since we were in the middle of a war right now - unless it was to do with everyone dying. A mass genocide would be a disastrous event, even in a war. But doesn't that mean Heather will win?

"What did you see?" My voice came out scratched, probably from my damaged throat.

"How all of this began," She spoke, her gaze focused on the stream, "My ancestors helped your uncles to 'perfect' this place. They had advised against it, as well as Satan, however God told them to press on and do as he asked. So they did the unthinkable."

"So your saying the war started because of some perfection process," I raise a brow as the blonde nodded, "How?"

"They used a form of dark magic," Dawn's brows were furrowed, "Something that can only be reversed by doing the same. Apparently they left that burden to you."

"Figures," I roll my eyes, "So how do we do this?"

"They said they gave you the incantation," She answered, "I have the hourglass, but we need the incantation to complete the entire process. Have you got any idea of what it is?"

I frowned as I racked my brain for answers. My uncles hadn't been very helpful in the whole advice department. They both disagreed on everything, both of the despising the idea of even the slightest thing the other suggested. In fact the only thing they agreed on was giving me my bow. The same bow with the words carved into it.

Release the sands of time and help the half demon and angel sides combine.

"I know what we need to do," I say as I hop from the stone, "But I'm going to need your help doing it."

Dawn smiled, happiness evident in her features.

"I knew you'd figure it out!" She grinned, "Now let's hurry."
