Chapter 25
As soon as the duo saw each other they both turned towards their respective captains, namely a Hell Council lead by Beelzebub and Michael and his Arch Angels and said:
"I resign as Champion."
"I resign as Champion."
"No take backs. Besides you both have already been given extraordinary leeway when it comes to your behavior, so either both of you do your duties as chosen champions or there will be penalties." Michael said to them.
"The Hell council agrees with Heaven's delegation." Beelzebub said and the two lovers turned a worried glance back to each other.
"What do we do now?" Harvey whispered to her.
"Look, how about one of us takes a dive and that's that."
"That's genius!" Harvey said and immediately grabbed Sabrina's hand and started pelting it with kisses, only to be interrupted by a loud clearing of the throat from Zelda.
"Business before pleasure." She chided, but did have a small smile on her face.
"And no dives! Win or lose this must be to the bitter end or else both factions are shammed!" Beelzebub said and both delegations nodded in agreement. It looked like Sabrina did have the talent to unite both heaven and hell, by giving them common ground of dislike towards her shenanigans.
"Okay, here's the plan. Give me one good uppercut in the chin, a chin blow scrambles a fighters brains and makes his knees buckle from under him."
"I don't like this Harv, but I'll do it for your sake, for us." Sabrina said and they shared a quick kiss before they both went into a battle stance.
Harvey was in a perfect boxer's high guard, Sabrina not so much, her's was more clumsy and uneven and blatantly trying to copy Harvey.
"You're so cute right now." Harvey could not help but say, which made Sabrina blush a bit before she gave Harvey a resounding uppercut to the chin, which made Harvey's head pop backwards, his legs wobble and...he was still standing, much to everyone's astonishment.
"Hugh? I...I thought you said that a chin blow is a K.O." Sabrina said to him in surprise.
"Yeah...sorry...it's my fault..." Harvey said in embarrassment.
"Wait, so...you're basically tough enough to brush of a surefire K.O?" Sabrina said in astonishment as Harvey gave an embarrassed, silent, nod of the head.
"That is so hot!" Sabrina said in delight before she decided to escalate things a bit. She immediately gathered some thunder and send a blast in Harvey's direction, making him fly back 3 meters.
That was enough force to make a raging bull hurt, Harvey got up like it was nothing, in fact he did a snap back jump to battle move and he was openly smiling at Sabrina like she just gave him a kiss.
That only encouraged Sabrina even more as she then summoned an enchanted chain and hook and threw it at Harvey.
"GET OVER HERE!" She bellowed out as Harvey was pulled back at her for more pummeling.
"What's going?" Beelzebub asked in astonishment as the Hell delegation could only watch in astonishment as the Champion Witch was pummeling into the ground that Champion of the Witchunters and somehow the witchunter was still standing and not fighting back and yet the fight was still even.
"You are witnessing how the Von Kunkle Clan earned its reputation as the most fearsome of witchunters. "Michael said with pride as the happy sight of Sabrina smiling like a crazed lunatic as she stabbed, shocked, hit, cut and burned Harvey, who was enjoying it and encouraging her. Well, happy is in the eye of the beholder.
"AAAAAAAAAA!" Sabrina said as she was starting to get tired, while grabbing Harvey, summoning a wall of ice with her foot and throwing him into it, shattering the ice wall and then Harvey got up again, a bit winded, but not as bad as Sabrina.
"You little perv!" Sabrina said with a teasing smile before she grabbed her face, ripped it off to reveal a barren human skull and then blasted from her eye sockets and mouth pure Hellfire.
After putting back her face she realized that she might have gone to far as a Harvey was engulfed by flames, becoming a charred husk of black flesh.
She put her hands over her mouth in horror as the flames died out, leaving behind only the charred husk.
Then the husk shook itself like a wet dog does and immediately revealed a still, leaving, slightly sun burned Harvey, who smiled at her.
Sabrina immediately let out a breath of relief, before her knees buckled from beneath her, Harvey dashing and catching her in his arms.
"Oh my darling, what have I done to you. You're poor hands bruised from me hitting your fists with my face. I made you breathe so hard by taking all your attacks without defending myself. Oh how much I've drained you of strength by intercepting your attacks with my body. Forgive me Sabrina...KISS KISS...Forgive me for being so horrid that I made you hit me over and over again...KISS KISS...I don't deserve your punches or eye gouging or fury...KISS KISS..." Harvey said and gently kissed her face, cheek and neck.
"Oh, what am I gonna do with you?" Sabrina said good naturedly to Harvey's ridiculous guilty reaction.
"I do believe that that is a win for us." Michael said with pride as the Hell delegation's mouths where open in shock.
"W...wait...are you telling me that for the past several centuries the Von Kunkles where doing THAT!"
"Yes Lord Beelzebub, I do believe that an old saying says that a warrior is supposed to f&*ck up the enemy?" Michael said teasingly as Harvey kept kissing and holding Sabrina who was too exhausted to fight back or even want to fight back.
"But...but what about not marrying outside of you faith!?" Beelzebub said in protest.
"Come now, religion would not be what it is without a bit of double standards and hypocrisy." Michael teased as Harvey, with Sabrina still in his arms, approached the group.
"When's the next champions fight?" Sabrina said gleefully as she had to gently push Harvey's mouth of her neck, so she could pay attention to the delegations.
"We'll let you know. Until then relax." Michael said to them as the couple left.
"I fear that at the rate that things are going we witches will become extinct one day." Zelda said and eyed Michael.
"Are you suggesting that we intentionally raise, like race horses, create mortals to fall in love with those who have magic for the sole purpose of making the witches fall in love with them instead of warlocks and thus making the witches give birth to mortal instead of warlocks and witches, thus exterminating witches that way? If so, then I have to applaud you for seeing trough out plans." Michael said with pride, the plan was going so very, very smoothly. First Freya was converted by Hardrada Von Kunkle so many years ago, then Morticia Frump, a fearsome witch that could have butchered whole countries, chose Gomez as a partner. Now Sabrina Spellman daughter of the Devil Himself and Agatha Weird, one of the Power of Trio witches the rarest breed of witches possible, have both chosen mortal partners.
"You disapprove?" Michael ask.
"I would, but...she seems so happy." Zelda said as she watched Sabrina giggle in Harvey's kiss filled embrace, a bittersweet smile on the Spellman Matriarch's face. "Still I must express my admiration for the ruthless pragmatism of your plan. But tell me, how did you know that Harvey and Sabrina would become a couple?" Zelda asked.
"Soulmates are not just two who share a bed, but two people who share a life. Some of the strongest bonds are formed between two who would never taste each other's lips. Even if they were not together, both would always be there for each other. Let me tell you of a world where Harvey is not an Addams, there his brother was killed by Agatha, Sabrina brought him back in a botched resurrection that forced Harvey to kill him and even almost killed his father too and you know what, he never ever hated her for that, and even when he was close, when Harvey felt her in danger he rushed in guns blazing to help her and even apologized for his bad behavior and forgave her. And the same for Sabrina, no matter who she was involved in that world, she would always be there for him, to fight and even die for him. No matter what happened both would always cherish each other in their hearts. For Harvey would always catch her when she falls and stop her from jumping of the slippery slope, past the point of no return and Sabrina would always be there for Harvey, no matter what." Michael said to them, leaving Hilda and Zelda shocked into silence.
"Ugh, sorry to ask this, but...is Dr C also a...you know..." Hilda asked gently.
"A horse born and bred specifically so you could ride him? Of course he is! Why do you think you got on so good all the time? Are you angry with us for that?" Michael asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Not really to be honest, but...if me and Dr C have children will they be...you know..." Hilda asked.
"They will have a choice, but let's be honest here, what kind of son would you want? One like Sweet Harvey or one like Mischievous Nickolas Scratch?" Michael asked.
"Well, not to be mean, but I already know the answer to that, but out of respect for the Scratch lad I won't say it out loud." Hilda said as she and Michael gave a nod of understanding.
Michael turned to leave.
"Lord Michael." Zelda stopped him with her call.
"Yes, Miss Spellman?"
"Diana, was she...was she my brother Edward's..." Zelda asked with dread.
"You notice that I never used the term stallions or men to describe the mortal's whose souls we breed in Heaven and I did not use the term witch or warlock when talking about those with magic." Michael said with an evil grin on his face.
"I have but one thing to say to that." Zelda said as the two sized each other up with their gaze.
"And that is?"
"That if witch kind is to become extinct, if it must perish one day, then let it perish like this." Zelda said and gestured to Harvey and Sabrina.
"Let the end come in laughter, joy and happiness. Let its final hour be a merry one that ends a long existence that knew love and kindness, gentleness and warmth. Let our final days be happy occasion." Zelda said as the group now looked at Sabrina, at her smile, at her loving eyes, at just how happy she looked.
"We hear your prayers and we fulfill them." Michael said and gave a bow before the Spellman Matriarch. Michael had only bowed once before a mortal and that was when God tested the angels in order to get them to forego their pride, Michael past the test, Lucifer did not.
Now look where both where.
Michael then turned and left for Heaven, a skip in his step.
Within a few centuries the witches would either become extinct or be so intermarried with mortals that they would be swallowed up by mortal society. The next step of the plan was to make them switch from Lucifer to one of the Pagan Goddesses' with which the Church had a more favorable relationship.
But one step at a time, one step at a time.
For now they would just let Sabrina and Harvey enjoy each other's embrace.
"Tricking our witch foes to perform a slow self-inflicted genocide, killing them with kindness indeed...and they say that our fallen brother Lucifer is the evil one." Michael said to himself, then he remembered who he was and made a note to go to a confessional and repent for the sin of pride in his dark deeds, greed to have it fulfilled as soon as possible and envy for thinking about his fallen brother's reputation.
Just another day in Greendale
