Author's note: Next chapter. It's longer then the previous one. And you finally find out how those mysterious creatures are called.
Disclaimer: I forgot this in the previous chapter, but they still aren't mine… shoot!
"One is afraid the only way to destroy these creatures is to cooperate with Heaven, Lucifer-sama."
"I do not see how they would be able to help us… and even if they could, they wouldn't."
"Heaven has had casulties aswell, Lucifer-sama. And Alexiel would probably consider it… and they could help us. For one angel has been able to survive an attack, even kill the creature." Belial looked up and saw the suprised look on Lucifer's face.
"… That's…Who?"
Lucifer was obviously shocked to say the least. Asmodeus wasn't the strongest of the seven Satans, but he wasn't weak either… and now he heard an angel survived…
"The survivor is…," Belial was silent for a moment, not knowing how to say it. "It was your brother."
This made Lucifer look even more suprised.
"Michael?" the Lord of Hell turned around "… you may go, Belial."
Mad-Hatter turned around and left the room.

Raphael knocked on the door leading to Alexiel's study.
"Enter"
When he opened the door he saw Alexiel talking with Raziel, they were discussing something over a huge book. Raphael stepped inside, followed by Kurai, Setsuna, Sara, Noise and Kato.
"Raziel, that is a really big problem, one that can't be solved…"
"But Alexiel-sama, maybe…"
"Alexiel-sama, " Raphael cut in, "I hate to bring more troubling news at a time like this but I really think you should know about this."
Alexiel motioned for them to close the door and to come up to the desk. After long awaited reunions and greetings Raphael explained everything. What had happened to Michael, what Mad-Hatter had said and their decision to tell her. All the while Alexiel and Raziel listened carefully.
"This might be a very good thing…" Alexiel said, "Raziel, why don't you explain, you found the book after all."
"Book? What book?" Setsuna asked
"It's a very old book, it belonged to Zaphikel-sama. After the attacks started I began searching for a clue as to what these creatures could be. I found it, and a way to kill them… but there is a page missing. The last thing it says is:
Neither Heaven nor Hell can beat these creatures alone, for…
And that's it." Raziel concluded.
"So that means that Heaven and Hell will have to cooperate." Kurai said.
"It won't be easy, but if both sides agree, than it might work." Said Noise.
Alexiel turned the book towards the group.
"This is all we know about them at the moment"
C'adhozian
A breed that knows no mercy
A breed that knows no love
Will try to take over,
Heaven from above
Assiah in the middle and Hell from below
But these creatures are hard to overthrow
Because they carry their weapons always
Their eyes that block all of the sun's rays
Freezing movement, freezing soul, freezing all
He who is not strong enough will surely fall
Their claws, that are like knives,
Have already ended many lives
Cloacked in darkness nor light
For, when together, both of these they despite,
The last twin must settle their dispute before it is too late
And their discord brings everyone to their fate.
"The last twin? What do they mean with that? I know for sure there a dozens of twins." Sara said
"We don't know what that means either, but there is more." Raziel said.
Victory is gained,
When the holy four are in their shrine.
Their powers never were so great,
Enemies will stand no chance.
Water in the North, Earth in the East,
Fire in the South and Air in the West.
To secure the excistance of Heaven, Hell and Assiah,
They must fight the guardians of the holy ground.
Many tried, but all have died,
When our greatest foe threatens to destroy all.
They must take the risk and face their fears,
Before the final moment comes and all break down in tears.
"But… if the elements can beat these creatures, then why do we need Hell?" asked Raphael
"That was probably explained on the missing page." Sighed Raziel.
"First things first. Go and get Michael, Gabriel and Uriel. Then we'll send a message accepting the truce." Alexiel said.
