Author's Rant: I'd like to thank all the people who reviewed my story (bows to every reviewer). Sorry for taking so long to update, because I'm having writer's block with this story presently, and I've begun another fanfic (a crossover of several anime series!). This will be a short chapter… again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'm going to answer a few questions asked within the reviews so here goes…

Oya – Yes, Mi-chan will be back again! He will be the main character along with Alexiel for the upcoming chapters… at least for NOW (snickers). I won't reveal much here… all I can say is wait and see, heheh grins evilly. Answering your second question, YES, you did say that question before, but I forgot to reply… sorry laughs nervously

Adel – Thanks! I'm happy to hear that someone else likes to see a Lucifer x Alexiel pairing! smiles happily for your second question: Well, all WILL be revealed when the time comes smiles mysteriously I'll eventually mention about that later on in the story so don't worry about it at the moment. Third: I KNEW you were Adel-chan! I read your Angel Sanctuary fics, and when are you going to update YOURS??? Please update yours soon!

Serpentine Wisdom – Hmm… does Michael want Alexiel to awaken Lucifer? Well, to be honest, I'm thinking about what to do there… haven't really gotten that far into my story, so I afraid I can't answer that… yet. Don't worry, I WON'T add ANY human characters (yes, I'm looking at you, SETSUNA! Katou, well, I'm assuming he's a human, since he was that kid… I think…). About the grammar errors, please forgive me! I suck at grammar! I'm not very good with correcting grammar mistakes, particularly tenses, so please bear with me! I definitely don't mind constructive criticism btw peace sign. Thanks for complimenting me on how I portray Michael so far too! I'm trying my best to keep him as similar to his attitude in the manga as much as possible. Don't be surprised if he gets out of character later on in the story, because I'm not too skilled at maintaining there personalities perfectly. I'm just a fanfic newbie anyways… I guess (lol).

I'd also like to thank with all my heart these other people for reviewing this story: Deaziel-Miyasome, Stormy soul, diamond hunter, and Akane-Sasakawa. If I didn't mention your name, I apologize! (I can be dumb at times, so…)

P.S. I intend to make this story around 40 chapters, so if you ask me a question about the characters and their actions later on, well, just to forewarn you, I'll probably explain it later on at the appropriate time (hopefully…)

Chapter 3: Confrontation Part 1 First Hour of the Fourth Holy War,

Assiah, Near Heaven's Outpost of Anagura

As he plunged into the crowd below him, Michael arched his wings inwards, closer to his body. He began to pick up speed, as feathers from his wings formed a trail from behind. He repositioned himself, aiming for a flock of imps that spiraled absentmindedly towards the heavens, unaware of his coming presence. A second before he collided into an imp, he stretched out his wings and revealed his brilliantly shining sword. He slammed into an imp, knocking the air out of it, and impaled its chest. Blood blasted out from the imp's back as the sword found its way through its victim. The imp let out a cry of pain, as Michael wrenched the sword out of its body with one powerful kick.

Immediately after that, another imp from the spiraling group confronted him head on in raging fury, shouting words of blasphemy at him. Michael smirked sinisterly before swinging his sword down on the imp. Blood and dark red flesh spilt from the imp, as it was sliced in half almost perfectly.

The other imps, previously unaware of what was happening to their comrades, quickly surrounded Michael and stared at him with bloodthirsty eyes. Saliva dripped from the mouths, as they thought about how Michael would taste. They knew this angel possessed immense powers, and they were eager to take it for themselves.

Michael smirked.

"Prepare to die, fuck heads!" Michael laughed, as a massive ball of fire formed a barrier around him, then blasted outward from his body.

He closed his eyes and listened to the screams coming from the imps, who were slowly burning up and disintegrating into ashes. When he opened his eyes, all he saw ash floating away in the air. Satisfied with the power he restraint due to the lack of wars for so many years, he flew further downwards, hoping he'll encounter a few Nidhegs and devils. Hopefully, he will encounter the one person he has been dying to see…

…his brother.

To be continued…

Author's Rants: Sorry for posting such a short chapter, since I still haven't really decided how I should write out the events after this… it's sad, I know, but tough luck (especially for me).
