HELLUVA END
Heaven, God's Throne Room
"Look Joel it really isn't that hard to understand." God was seated on a golden white throne. Surrounded by many angels, archangels, and even a few lower beings. One such creature was a small man that hadn't spent all but two days in purgatory before being called to the almighty. Joel, one of the angels in god's council looked at his father's feet and shook his head.
''I know your majesty, but what if this commoner is lying to you?" Joel closed his eyes in fear as he heard god stand up. The feet in front of him stepped to the side as god walked down from the steps of his throne.
''Joel, my loyal subject. Have yee no faith?" Asked god before he chuckled and rolled his many eyes. "If our little friend here was lying I would know, you would know, the archangels would know, hell even jesus would know.'' God pointed over at his son and jesus looked up from the phone he was playing mobile games on. Jesus was a character and god often felt disappointed by his son.
''What? Oh you need me to, yeah of course!" Jesus stood up and quickly walked over. He looked down at the man from purgatory and a warm smile reached his face. "My loving disciple, let not your heart be clouded by fear. Is what you have told us true, were you slain by an imp?" Jesus took hold of the man's hands and as he did the man nearly broke down in tears.
''YES lord! It is true, I don't know why but a strange creature came from a hole in the ground and beat me to death!" The man fell to his knees as he began to sob. "before it came out of the hole there was a pentagram….and its skin was a fiery red!" Jesus looked down at the man and rolled his eyes at the show.
''You will be rewarded for your honesty my servant. Go now in peace.'' Said Jesus as a few archangels took hold of the man and dragged him away from the throne. The man screamed praises to god and jesus, and once he was out of sight jesus scoffed in annoyance.
''So, does that quell your concerns joel?" Asked God as he walked over to jesus and the others. Joel stood up and even standing he had to crane his neck to see the lords face.
''that works for me….but what of the man? His words could scare others.'' As Joel spoke jesus laughed and put a hand on his shoulder
''Where do you think Micheal is are taking him?" Jesus put a finger gun to his head and pulled the trigger. ''we don't need to worry about any panic starting. Azreal will have it handled"
''So, how exactly do you plan to kill these imps? Shall I put their souls on the target list for the exterminators?" Joel asked as he looked at jesus and then back to god's feet.
''No no, we can't wait that long. These damn imps are racking up a kill count. If any of their targets ended up in heaven it could be very problematic.'' God put a hand to his chin and thought about the situation. "We need to send a small covert squad in, cut them down and return the book to that stupid prince.''
''Why not ice the prince as well dad? Cut everything for good." Jesus looked to his father and shrugged his shoulders.
''Son, we have been over this. The turmoil in hell is at an all-time high. They learn that I've sent a hit squad on one of the Ars Goetia and it could unite them. No we just need to take these imps out and send a message to that owl.'' God nodded his head as he thought of the perfect angels for the job. "It was Gabriel who had the highest kill count right?"
''Yes I do believe his sect of exterminators were the most successful last year.'' Joel looked down at his phone and pulled up a few statistics on the extermination. "Yeah he did the best with 422 kills.''
''422?! Man! that guy takes his job seriously. Yeah bring him up here we are going to send him and a strike team after those….disgusting imps. Grab Azreal and Leroy as well, have them gather a good squad for gabe." God had a disgusted look on his face as Joel nodded and left the room to look for Gabriel. Jesus went back to his seat beside the throne and began to play more games. God on the other hand took a stroll past his archangels and began to pace back and forth. He wasn't nervous, but there was a lot of things on his mind. These imps were trouble and he needed them dead and with their very souls on the kill list it would only be a matter of time.
