"My Lord. Is there something you need of me, Father?" Archangel Gabriel bowed and kneel before his Lord and Father in His throne room, feeling His warm heavenly light glowing the entire room and shrouding His face but never blinding His subjects and those who shall see Him after death. As God's Strength and one of his dear children, it is Gabriel and his siblings' duty to follow their roles their beloved Father has bestowed on them since the beginning, with Gabriel willingly to work his part as God's Messenger. Yet…despite the luxury of Heaven the angels and souls have been provided for their reward of living a good former life with little sin, and it has been centuries since that incident, Gabriel cannot help but always think about his exiled brother Lucifer.
As out of the other archangels including the Seraphim Joel, Gabriel is the only one who sympathizes with the ruler of Hell for his betrayal to God and them. Ever since he was banished into Hell, God forbade His seven children, angels, and cherubs to never speak or mutter a word of Lucifer's name in Heaven, and it did not take long for the archangels to mock Lucifer for his failed attempt to rule Heaven.
But Gabriel never talked and thought ill of Lucifer, nor joining his siblings including Michael who he and Gabriel resemble so much of their ex-brother to mock him with such disgusting words. For all he knows and will be his secret from Heaven, Gabriel still loves Lucifer as the brother he is before his banishment.
"My mighty boy. I summoned you to me to inform you what is happening in the human world for the past three months."
Gabriel raised his head from looking down with a curious scowl for God's summon as he witnesses a soft glow of white light forming an oval shape in front of his face and manifest colors into a vision showing a scene in the human world, collecting Gabriel's interest that shifted into marvel.
The vision God conjured shows a young human couple connected by the Red Thread of Fate, with the boy having blonde hair and blue eyes while the girl has pale blue hair and blank brown eyes that glimmers by the sunlight, are found riding on a fast motorbike around an American town or beyond their homes before stopping at either the road to save an injured or scared animal from getting run over the incoming vehicles, or towns with gifts to the homeless people they are assisting as good deeds.
But what surprises the archangel is that this couple is accompanied by two of the three cherubs of C. H. E. R. U. B who was banished from Heaven five months ago, Keenie and Collin. Not only the two are without their friend Cletus, which is odd as Gabriel knows that the three are inseparable, but the two cherubs are enjoying themselves helping the human couple doing good deeds to other humans.
When word got out that the C. H. E. R. U. B killed a human they were trying to bless and got into a fight with the I. M. P for trying to kill the same human, despite knowing that Lyle Lipton has condemned himself to Hell for his sin of performing inhuman experiments, Heaven was shocked that their best cherubs and their organization of blessing human souls have failed them although Gabriel once noticed that the cherub Deerie and her associates and followers seems to be pleased of C. H. E. R. U. B's banishment since the archangels and cherubs know that Deerie is jealous of their success with their organization.
A cherub or an angel responsible for killing a human or failed to do their jobs, either intentionally or unintentionally, is indeed punished by banishment to the Human world but under a time limit between a certain number of months or years. But Gabriel does not believe that C. H. E. R. U. B deserves to be barred forever, especially since the archangels and possibly God have been hearing their prayers every day of returning to Heaven, and their confessions of what they have done and being no different than I. M. P, which immediately saddens Gabriel and some of the archangels for knowing that Cletus, Collin, and Keenie are NOT like the heartless imps.
Now, Gabriel knew from continuously listening to Collin and Keenie's prayers that the couple is named Terry Morgan and Puteri Kemp and they are helping them search for Cletus who have disappeared and now doing good deeds to help penniless and injured people have faith in humanity as a method to get back to Heaven.
"An Eve of light born from darkness, and an Adam once from a hellish family. Despite their dark backgrounds, they wish to aid two of our lambs to look for their lost friend and return to Heaven. Such deeds they have made reclaim those who are homeless and nearly kill themselves by sin have faith in humanity again. Their pure souls shined brighter for doing angel's works and all to help them return Home." God explained with Gabriel blinking his eyes in surprise of noting the amusement in His voice, as if He is pleased that the human children fated with love are assisting two exiled cherubs to return to Heaven, with the archangel watching this Terren and Puteri stopping their vehicle by a field near to some houses and outside of the busy city when they spot a runaway Golden Retriever dog happily racing towards them for Terren and Puteri to climb off and start playing with the dog while Keenie and Collin fly away from them and float around the houses, searching for the dog's owner.
"Then, is it possible for C. H. E. R. U. B to return to Heaven? Even with Cletus?" Gabriel enquired with another bow to lower his head and patiently waited for God's infinite wisdom to answer, listening to His soft humming while Gabriel said nothing from feeling as if the entire room is watching him with countless eyes that could manifest on the walls and pillars of the room, seeing every sign of expression or movement in his position for Gabriel to keep still without showing his tiredness from overworking.
"The one called Cletus disappeared from his friends at his own accord, while Collin and Keenie continuously pray their wishes to aid this Terry Morgan and Puteri Kemp with their services until the children will end their final year of high school this year. But if they accomplish their services without fail, I am willing to have them back to Heaven where they belong. While they do, I want you to watch over C. H. E. R. U. B and report their findings and everything that happened to me. If you wish to bring the archangel as assistances or converse with the cherubs and the children, you have my permission to do so." God declared with Gabriel smiling to himself as well as guessing that He is also smiling for C. H. E. R. U. B's redemption plan for their accidental crime although the Strength of God slowly frown his puzzlement for what else he thought of about this situation that he cannot help but ask his mighty Father and Lord.
"My Lord. May I wish to ask…what happened to Cletus?" Instead of words when he realized the room went silent, Gabriel slowly raises his head again and watches as the vision in front of him blurred into different colors before showcasing another vision that answers the archangel's question of where could the humanoid cherub could be. 'Why would Cletus leave his friends behind?' Gabriel wondered in concern and sadness.
"Mmh mmh mmh! Mmh mmh mmh! Mmh mmh mmh mmh mmh mmh!" Right after the four took off from helping a runaway dog reuniting with its owner and receive her thanks, Terren listens to Puteri happily humming a tune behind his back with the swift wind blowing at them hardly block their ears while Collin and Keenie shaking their heads to the side while looking out for more people and animals need saving. As usual, both teenagers wear their casual clothing when going out to do their errands although Terren and the cherubs noticed Puteri is now wearing baggy pants for once, her jacket zipped to her collarbone concealing her chest and her hair stuffed inside her purple helmet even when the four are not riding on the motorbike made her more of a boy than a girl.
'Woah, Puteri. You look more like a dude like that.' Terren pouted as he now regrets complimenting Puteri's fashion sense earlier only to get a slap on his cheeks by an angry Keenie, now his face still stings and he has to be careful of commenting on a girl's appearance in the future.
"Hey, Puteri. What'cu singing?" Terren subtly looks over his right shoulder and glance at Puteri to ask his question, seeing her stop humming her song and look up with a soft frown on her face for a few seconds of riding Terren's motorbike with silence before she smiled back at him and resume singing to surprise Terren with a startled smile, now with the song's lyrics. "DK West! DK West! He's our man, he's the best!"
"Oh, d-d-d-dear!" Puteri and Terren heard Collin stuttering his horror by what he sees for the two to look forward at the road and stare at what Collin sees, initially thought to be large blurs of colors, yet Collin and Keenie hastily twist his motorbike handles a bit and sent the motorbike accelerating faster than ever on the road, surprising Terren and Puteri when they almost fall off the back of the bike before the former tighten his grip on the handles while Puteri embraced Terren's back and torso when the four then heard thunderous blast of motorcycle engines roaring behind them that attracted them to stare at what the cherubs see and now feared with Keenie flying in front of the three while staring at the source with anger and disgust, during the now speedy road chase.
Beside them from both sides, the four witnesses a group of men counted to be five also riding on motorcycles as expensive but not as impressive as Terren's motorbike, and not wearing helmets to reveal their faces and dirty grins flashing on the four, or just Terren and Puteri since Keenie and Collin has their invisibility ability active, while looking at their bike with one of them whistling his crude amazement to his laughing friends. "Whoo! Look at this boy's bike! That looks fucking rich!"
"Hey, brats! Why don't you sell us your motorbike?" Another man taunted the two who glared at both sides in shock flashing on Puteri's face and anger on Terren's face although the latter noticed one of the men immediately lean to his right and move his motorcycle towards Terren, alarming the four to scream their dread and anger for the stunt and prompt Terren to accelerate his motorbike harder and speedily move faster, avoiding the man's motorcycle from both hitting them and nearly kill his other friend when their bikes rashly swerved and almost fall on the ground for the victim to yell at his attempted killer in rage. "Watch where you're going, asshole!"
"Such reckless driving! They could've killed us like that!" Keenie gasped her anger at the man's stunt while she and the others are horrified to see and hear the bike gang now laughing as if they are okay with their friends killing each other and almost the four of them even though they cannot see the cherubs with the children, slightly making Collin feel his heart aching by the heartless expressions these people are acting like demons while knowing that they cannot simply ask them their purpose of doing sins, as they promised Dij to do three months ago.
If only these men are civil to stop and talk about it, instead of ramming themselves to innocent children to death like daredevils. Perhaps they are part or have cooperated with the Dark Hell Market.
"Hey, brats! Where's the fire?!" Another man closer to the four goaded Terren and Puteri with a manic laugh from his grin with his other friends joining him while Puteri and Collin look around with a terrified sneer and Terren gritted his teeth in anger for the situation when he instantly glared and shouted his response to the man, looking back at the road and drive faster than the men. "Get the hell away from us!"
But just as Terren continues to speed his motorbike through the surprisingly empty road since they are outside their town for today, the loud sounds of the men taunting laughs attracted Puteri, Keenie, and Collin to look behind their backs and see them still chasing after them until they are again riding closer to their sides with the man looming closer to Terren's right side, possibly the leader by being taller than his mates, a huge scar lining horizontally at the bridge of his nose, and opening his mouth to lick his teeth in his smirk and…starts to sing.
Lookie at this brat
Orderin' us like that
Let's make him yell
As we fuckin' go
Highway to Hell!
"Highway to Hell! Highway to Hell! Whoo!" The other four men behind them chanted with crude excitement while Terren, Puteri, Collin, and Keenie gawk their shock and confusion for hearing the leader singing when he resumes threatening them through song after stamping his foot at Terren's right leg, forcing a hiss of pain from the boy's teeth.
That bike will get us girls
Give bitches the whirls
So hurry the fuck up and
make that boy fell
Highway to Hell! (Highway to Hell! Highway to Hell! Whoo!)
Puteri hastily swings her leg up and knock the man's foot off Terren's leg for the leader to flinch his shock of his motorcycle's balance shaking and tempting him to fall off on the road, bringing Terren to speed up his bike faster to the point of possibly violating the speed limit even though they are still outside the town with Terren asking the three in puzzlement and anger of what is happening. "Why are they singing right now!? Is this a musical!?"
"I'm not surprised if it is! But it does sound fun, yet they ruined it!" Puteri shouted her answer in worry as they now forced to listen to all of the bike gang members joining their leader of singing their gang song, further confusing the four while Terren continues to steer his motorbike left and right in rapid zigzags to hopefully send them lose control of their bikes and end the chase, but their song signals the failure of his attempts.
Nothing's gonna stop us now!
Not cops, parents, nor even school
Dropped them up and beat 'em down
Cause Hell's the place we'll be cool!
Losers want us to be sugar and spice
Well, those shit ain't makin' us nice
All want double the trouble? Nah!
We'll fuck everyone up thrice!
So come on, my boys
What the hell we're waitin' for!
Play them up like toys
Cause Highway to Hell
Will blow them up to the floor!
Suddenly, Terren spotted a train track in front of an empty construction site with a mountain of sand towering closer to the wooden fence the same time a large commuter train has reach closer to where the four might hit if Terren drives the motorbike straight to the tracks…until Terren has a plan to shout at Puteri, and the cherubs, to get them and the Highway to Hell gang who stopped their song before he shouted looking at where Terren is heading, not seeing everyone but him glaring forward in horror of what is he planning. "Guys, we're getting outta here!"
"T-Terren! T-T-T-That's a train!" Collin squeaked in fear while hugging Terren's waist with Keenie bracing herself on Puteri's back and the four listen to one of the men shouting at them before Puteri watch the five men hastily slow their motorcycles until stop while Terren continues to go faster, as if heading to the train tracks and get them railed over to death. "What the hell are you doing, boy!?"
But instead of stopping, Terren jerked his motorbike and almost sent the four falling over when he drove to the construction site and heading straight to the sand-made mountain until the top…flying over the construction site and the incoming train below them to send Terren, Puteri, and the cherubs scream their horror of the stunt while the Highway to Hell Gang watches their flight with their mouths opening in disbelief and anger for not getting Terren's motorbike, alarming Collin and Keenie to hastily fly away from Terren and Puteri's bodies and hover at both ends of the former's motorbike.
With their hands grabbing the front and back, the cherubs use their strength to hold the motorcycle on air, with the train blocking the other side's view of a floating motorbike, and slowly lower it back to the road before flying back to the two when Terren twist the handle and drove away with the train continuously blocking the bike gang from chasing them.
"Terren, you could have died and killed Puteri back there! You're lucky that Collin and I saved you both!" Keenie scolded with her anger failing to hide the anxiety she has experienced while comforting Collin who is pressing his hooves on his clothed chest and feel his heart pounding harder than before in Puteri's embrace, with Terren rubbing the back of his helmet with a sad scowl for worrying the cherubs of their attempted deaths to escape from the Highway to Hell, once he drove them to a nearby and almost empty gas station, refilling his bike's gasoline since he used half of it from the chase.
First looking at Puteri to see her also expressing her shock at what happened, a bit surprised that the other men did not know that she was a girl with her hair still stuffed inside the helmet, Terren looks back at Keenie and apologized the saddened cherub with a worried sneer while hoping no one could see a boy talking to himself or an imaginative friend. "I'm sorry, Keenie. But if I didn't do what I did, we would have been beaten or killed by those other jerks! And even if we fought them off, not only would we get ourselves killed, but won't that create an impact of returning you to Heaven?"
"I-I-I hope that we won't meet up with t-t-t-those c-cruel daredevils!" Collin prayed with Puteri's hand stroking the back of his wool hair only for the four to grimace at the sounds of engines roaring closer from out of nowhere and five familiar motorcycles advancing towards the gas station, putting on their brakes closer to Terren's motorbike for the riders to disembark from their bikes and stood in front of the two riders, the leader grinned grimly at Terren who sneered back at him while the former's lackeys glower their irritation of their unsuccessful chase and theft, all ignore the other people inside the gas station watching the scene with shock or worry for their lives, especially since a few of the people pulled out their phones to either call the police or record a video of the interrogation.
"You got guts for doing that shit, boy…I like that. You seem like one who wants to have an easy way of life than pointless busy work. Why don't you and your friend ditch your dumb ass school and join Highway to Hell? You both will have all the money and bitches you hearts can desire." The leader complimented with a scoff as Terren and Puteri furrow their eyes behind their helmets' shades even when they see the older man raising a hand for an agreement of his proposal.
The offer captured Puteri and the cherubs' horror and glare back at Terren for the thought of dropping out of school, even though he has the final examination to worry about, and follow these ruffians into sin for Collin to remind Terren with no one noticing the latter looking at the cherub's direction when he pleaded the boy. "D-Don't listen to him, Terren! If you accept him, you will never come back to us and end up in both the Hell of the human world and the Hell of demons!"
"…I know." Terren muttered as everyone watches Terren quietly took a few steps forward and stood at the center of the gas station with Puteri and C. H. E. R. U. B eying their friend with a hesitant glower on their faces while the bike gang smirks their confidence when they listen to Terren exclaiming his mind of the offer without looking at them to look down and his tone being flat of displeasure. "You mean, you guys don't mind if a brat like me join you guys?"
"Fuck yeah! We used to be your age when we dropped out of school and look at us! Didn't you listen to our song?!" One of the men behind the leader responded with a crude grin and his friends cheered their agreements, their leader only nodded once as Terren slowly raise his head while reaching his hands to his helmet and unhurriedly remove it from his head, opening his eyes to sneer his anger and disgust for the thought with such fury in his face that sent one of the men to shudder his surprise with his other friends noticing his reaction, immediately respond when he assumes that he is wasting time to answer… "Sorry, but I refuse."
"What?" The leader narrowed his eyes in suspicion for the decline while his lackeys look at each other in surprise and anger as well and the cherubs quietly sigh their relief from their smile, happy to know that Terren objects to being a sinner while no one notice Puteri holding something in her hands the whole time before everyone listens to Terren explaining his reason with a bored sneer on his face and his eyes closed, not seeing the men subtly but visibly fidgeting their anger while the leader's temple struck a nerve.
"Why would I waste my life doing crap like trying to beat or kill people for money, wanting to have sex with random women, and turn into a psychopathic criminal? I got people thinking and talking that I would do any of those with just my face. So no way in hell am I going to degrade myself and ditch my school and finals to become what people assume me as you fuckers. Also…your song's fucking shitty anyway."
The five men of the gang immediately react with offense and rage but none made a move to attack with one man about to shout a piece of his mind when everyone heard a noise of a camera clicking from behind Terren to catch everyone including the invisible cherubs' attention and see who but Puteri initially holding her A-Phone on her hands and record everything when no one was paying attention to her collecting evidence, to Terren's shock of not realizing his best friend was recording although he was amused of her silent method while the five was enraged...
...before she leisurely stuff her phone back in the pocket of her pants and climb off the motorbike with her hands now reaching to her helmet and pull it out of her head, her slightly messy ponytail drops to her back and her strands nearly frame her face but it hardly matters to Puteri when she ignore the Highway to Hell glaring at her from top to bottom with bafflement to voice her thoughts of Terren's explanation yet the leader nearly close his eyes for her appearance. "Terren's right. Everyone who sees him made baseless rumors but they never know his true self. So I want to make sure that we'll both succeed in our lives and make sure we'll do it together!"
'Yeah! Thanks, Puteri!' Terren mentally cheered with a confident smile from Puteri's kind explanation of him with Collin and Keenie nodding their agreement and raise their hands and hooves with their smiles as well although the three and Puteri glared back at the awful men when they started whistling and commenting on their lust at Puteri for her appearance, immediately angering Terren and Keenie for their narrow-minded remarks while Collin float in front of Puteri with his arms outstretched. "Wait, that other brat was a chick!? His girlfriend!?"
"Boy, you're a lucky bastard to have a fine girl like that one!"
"(whistle) She'll look even cuter if she's OUR sex doll!"
"We'll treat her better to be more of OUR taste, than those boring ass bitches with jobs!"
"Wait…" The leader ended his comrades' disgusting flirting with everyone staring at him with confusion and suspicion to Terren's group when the leader point a large finger at Puteri's face with her expression a stoic frown not showing fear even after he demands her and darken his face to bear a furious sneer while gritting his teeth with such rage from his words, immediately terrifying his men and unknowingly to everyone but Keenie, Collin to shake behind Terren's back. "…You remind me of someone, girl…are you related to the Giant Tsunami and the Voracious Darkness?"
Puteri's eyes faintly blinked with the same soft frown when she did not hesitate to answer the leader's question, her hands hold her helmet with one hand under the base while the other is inside.
"They're my parents."
Terren and the cherubs first look at Puteri with a confused sneer for her parents having a nickname such as Giant Tsunami and Voracious Darkness, wondering why would Evan and Dij have those names although Terren mentally noted Evan's nickname could be similar to Puteri's nickname in school as the 'Water Princess' while Keenie and Collin wondered if Dij's nickname has something to do with the strange darkness in her heart and soul, before the five glared back at the Highway to Hell and see the four men behind their leader now expressing fear and anger while whispering what the five hear as 'Holy shit, her parents?!/ The deadliest murderers of Dark Hell Market!/ So they're still livin' together and got a boring life with a kid?/ Oh, shit! We're flirting with their kid!' until the loud sounds of someone gritting his teeth with noises alerted everyone to stare at the HTH's leader now glaring at Terren and Puteri with his eyes bulging wide with enragement that scared his men to shut up.
"…I get it now…That motherfucker. We thought you damned dad was once MIA from us for a year, only to return with his demon bitch for a wife and killed most of our men and sluts before our leaders were sold to the cops! Your fucking mum tried to kill me and even took a bite of me! We call them those names to remember the traitors that killed the other Dark Hell Markets of the world and stopped us from toppling the world government on our feet!"
Puteri, Terren, Collin, and Keenie stared at the gang with dismay for the man's story about the former's parents and the truth of his and the Dark Hell Market's intention from the information mentioning the world government, realizing that this shows he and his men cannot be redeemed for Terren to point it out to demand with his shock and anger. "Why are you blaming Puteri's parents, when you and the Dark Hell Market are sending everything into Hell!? What they did save the world from your twisted plans! So you should blame no one but yourself for wanting to rule everyone through fear!"
"You fucking brats!" The leader immediately snarls his rage to scream and immediately dash towards the couple, horrifying the people inside the gas station while his men nearly follow him when he swiftly raises his arm behind his head and almost punches a fist at either the boy who humiliated him or rejecting his proposal to join him, or his girlfriend who belongs to the traitors that nearly ended his home years ago, tempted to punch the latter who does not show anything but the same expressionless frown as the Giant Tsunami's before his betrayal, confirming her as the traitor's kin which boils his anger harder, until she immediately pulls her hand off her helmet to hold something in front of his face and…
BANG!
Knowing that the man wanted to punch her for what her parents did in the past, Puteri ignored Terren, Collin, and Keenie almost push her away from them which would have got them to get injured instead of her and pull the trigger of the gun she kept inside her helmet and hair before leaving the house, keeping it a secret until now as everyone watch Puteri shooting a red-colored, ball-shaped bullet straight to the man's eyes with horror as even Terren and the cherubs did not expect Puteri to become scary and pull out a gun, wondering how did she have a gun and hid it inside her helmet…
The leader suddenly screams his agony alerted his men and the group to see the leader still alive with his eyes blinded by the large blob of red liquid she sprayed, for Puteri to instantly run past her friends and swing her leg across and hit the man's legs, sending him falling on his back and ass before Puteri jump and land herself to sit on the criminal's torso, pinning his arms with her feet on his wrists against the ground while holding her gun against his forehead, watching him howl his agony with a firm sneer.
"Y-You bitch!" One of the men shouted after he and his friends hastily run towards Puteri although she instantly swings her arm and throws her helmet straight to one of the men in the face, knocking him to fall on the ground unconscious, while Terren quickly collects himself to run towards one of the now three men and swiftly swing his arms to slam the helmet he is still holding straight to the man's cheek, releasing blood from his mouth, before Terren push his victim down to the ground and grab his arms back to apprehend the HTH member.
As for Collin and Keenie, they decided to be brave and fly towards two more men of the sinning group and instantly use their strength to throw them on the ground and sit on their necks with Keenie punching at the man she is sitting on his neck in the face while Collin weakly slaps his victim's cheeks multiple times.
The remaining member stopped and react in fear his men getting beaten by a girl spraying some sort of red spray at his leader's face while he screams, her boyfriend, and some sort of invisible ghosts beating up two of his friends' faces before the unscathed man hear police sirens growing louder and closer to their location to catch his horror and witness multiple police cars and a giant CXT truck arriving to circle them in the gas station.
'Goddammit!' The HTH member mentally scream his misfortune as he knew that either the owner or someone in the gas station must have called the police during the interrogation…only for the HTH member to scream his horror when seeing a giant man with pale blue hair emerging out of his CXT truck and instantly sprinted towards him with a wooden katana sword in hand and a demonic-like smirk on his jaw.
"Luckily, not a single one inside of the gas station has been hurt, thanks to you kids. But do you have a license for wielding a gun, young lady?" A policeman informed Terren and Puteri, and unknowingly to all but the three including Evan, Collin, and Keenie, with a soft tone of dissatisfaction towards the Highway to Hell gang now being dragged into the other police cars with a stoically displeased Evan monitoring the fools who dared try to kill his daughter, her lover, and their angelic friends only to be defeated by them, even remembering the one Puteri blinded him with her pepper spray gun as the one from his meaningless past.
The question of the said gun in Puteri's possession brought Evan to join the children's side and answer the policeman's question with a hand resting on his daughter's head, ignoring the man shudder in apprehension of his massive height. "Rest assured, good sir. My daughter's gun is a pepper spray I created for situations such as this. Made with salt, Fox Labs, and Carolina Reaper peppercorn."
'Holy shit, those are really strong ingredients for a pepper spray.' Terren opened his mouth in dumbfounded shock of Puteri's revealed pepper spray gun with his eyes first stare at Puteri to see her calm or stoic before back to Evan when he left the policeman hurriedly run back to deal with the criminals before turning around and face the four who flinched in dread of possible punishment by the Giant Tsunami, even by seeing him stare at them with such terrifyingly agitated-like scowl on his face.
"Are you going to punish us…as if we're going to die?" Puteri asked with dread for the worst.
"…On the contrary, I will not punish you four for apprehending fools who still follows the Dark Hell Market and try to resume their boring sport of killing." Evan shook his head and chuckled from his small smile, not seeing the four reacting in surprise of the response, as he opened his eyes to reveal his decision to not punish them. "Although your methods to detain them are not what I had in mind, the fact that you both can withstand them long enough before I intervened shows that you gather the information required to know if they are capable of reforming or not. Princess, I won't keep this exciting sight from Dij, but I will tell her not to punish you and your friends if you have recorded everything as we asked you to. And Terren…I'm still waiting for you to visit my gym and whip you into shape."
The sight of his menacingly grim face when he smirked at him prompt Terren and the cherubs to shake in fear of Puteri's father as he could stutter his response as 'Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Yes s-s-s-s-s-sir!' before Evan proceed to walk back to his CXT truck with his head still facing the four. "Well, shall we head home?" Evan asked.
Unaware of the five, everything that happened to Puteri, Terren, Collin, and Keenie was spied from the sky above their heads as to no one and nothing, not even airplanes or any air transportation, would have spotted a hooded figure draped in a dirty white cloak but without showing its body and limbs while not making any movement but looking down and watch the four follow Evan Kemp to his truck while Terren push his motorbike to the back…
"So let me remind everything that you four said; not only that the fool and his comrades chased you four while not knowing Princess was a girl, and singing a dumb song, but also offer Terren to join and reveal me and Dij's past of killing almost the Dark Hell Market?" Evan reminded what he was told from the children and cherubs with an irritated sneer while keeping his eyes on the road as he drives the road leading back to town, with Collin and Keenie sitting together at the passenger seats and Puteri and Terren seated behind them, with the latter's motorbike kept at the back of the truck with the canopy hiding its view from passing cars.
Terren relaxed his body against the soft sensation of the seat he is sitting on and sigh his annoyance for remembering minutes earlier with the Highway to Hell singing that irksomely awful song to respond. "Yeah. As much I wish to have my escape stunt recorded as proof, I'm beginning to imagine the reprise of the song like…"
Long Live Highway to Hell
Thinkin' they are big bosses.
Now they're going to jail
Crying for their losses!
Evan, Puteri, and the cherubs said nothing but blink their eyes in surprise and mentally cringe for the offbeat-like tune and lyrics of the song as they silently listen to Terren continue to sing the now-arrested Highway to Hell gang's terrible song.
Should have never flunked out
Families can't help but weep
Nothing'll pay their bailout
What they sow, they shall reap!
Slightly intrigued, Puteri first tapped her fingers on Terren's arm to catch his attention and stopped singing, before joining in with a curious smile which startled everyone from hearing Puteri singing or rapping.
Well, serves them right!
They shouldn't have smite
And think we wouldn't fight
Well, put them down with might!
"Ahahahahahahahaha!" Evan laughed heartedly for his daughter mocking his ex-comrades while Collin first looks at Keenie with a smile once he has calmed down from the fright before another smile from his partner prompts the two happy cherubs to join in and sing their fake reprise.
Keenie: Of course, it's their mistake
For the lives, they put at stake
The lives they should have take
Ended the same as what they make
Collin: Now it's too late for them
For what they have done
God shall have them condemned
From the game, they think they won
All, but Evan: So
Long Live Highway to Hell
That's a story we all will tell!
Hope it's become a bigger sell
Now that they're in their cell!
Everyone laughed their amazement and amusement for the end of the dumb song, with Evan being the first to stop laughing and release another chuckle before continue driving once he had made it to town, with his mind fixated not on the children and cherub at the moment but something that happened in the past with Dij and the Dark Hell Market since the fool who tried to kill his daughter had to spoil that information to Puteri.
'Since you have now know what we used to do…' Evan mentally informed. 'Then, let us explain the truth of the past.'
A/N: So there's the first appearance of Heaven and God, as well as the first musical in this story…which I can tell I did badly because I can't make original music. Tell me if it's sucks.

Troxa-chan, if you stumbled upon this story and read this, I'm sorry if you think I'm stealing your OC *I'm not, I really like your characters' design.
. Puteri was humming/ singing the chorus of the song 'DK West Rap 1' from the English-language video game made in Malaysia, No Straight Roads. (I also like to imagine Dij singing the song to Puteri, like a lullaby)
. Puteri's pepper spray gun is a reference to the Bug – A – Salt gun owned by the animator and friend of Vivziepop, Ashley Nichols when she mentioned having one in one of the episodes of her podcast on YouTube, Hunicast, that featured voice actor Chris Ayers who played Frieza. (Oh, Ashley)
