A/N: Well, here is the great angelic battle:D
Katie felt her energy returning when she saw her friend enter in. She looked back up at Dracula, who was betraying the shock of forgetfulness for just a second, and then went back into anger. He was stopped midway in wrapping her legs around him.
Elizabeth took horror in her human mind at the scene before her as she flew in. Dracula's face inches from Katie's, whose wounds had not yet healed.
Of a devil about to rape a shattered angel.
But the human mind was locked away and being used by the Godly part of her.
The Godly part that triumphantly announced its presence.
"Lo, demon of blood and lust, I am the Angel of Truth. I shall give you the truth. I shall lock ye under the power of God and sealed from the world of man. I am the locker who binds you. And Justice condemns and sends you there to the prison of purity and with bonds of righteousness!" She declared in her heavenly tone.
Dracula looked up and stared at her before standing up again. He spread his wings out and clearly was reverberating with anger.
"So, Elizabeth, I forgot about you. Ah well, I can take both of you tonight! You will lie here on this bed weak and fallen and I will take turns with you…" He roared as he transformed. Once again he appeared in his evil hellbeast form, leaping at her full throttle.
"BLINDING SUNBEAM!" Elizabeth yelled, still hovering and swiping her feather in a circle. Immediately a large golden orb appeared and blasted a ray of sunlight.
It hit Dracula in the chest.
He slammed against the wall with a thud, blood spurting out from his back.
He roared and fell to the floor.
Then quickly stood up, blindly.
He couldn't see with the sunlight that struck him.
This was Elizabeth's chance.
Elizabeth swooped down and picked up Katie's mallet. Running over to Katie, she helped her up and handed the mallet. Her white glow pulsed stronger.
They knew what to do.
Because they were one with God.
And they were selfless in their ambitions.
Dracula was blind only temporarily. Shaking his head and roaring in the weakness he now poised, he sensed his angels flying towards him.
"FEATHERS OF THE GOLDEN BLADE!!" Elizabeth yelled as she swooped. She sliced her feather in the air and immediately shards of golden light whipped out and soared towards Dracula.
"SILVER SEISMIC STRIKE!!" Katie screamed, now standing on the ground and slamming her mallet on the floor. White light was shining from the cracks that were appearing in the floor towards Dracula.
But Dracula had other plans.
His blindness was almost gone.
"STRENGTH OF BALROG!!" Dracula immediately was encased with fire and he deflected the the golden swipes of energy, bouncing off and hitting the walls.
Elizabeth didn't have enough time to swerve before Dracula grabbed her foot.
He flung her down in front of him.
And then he was surrounded by the white light from the cracks in the floor.
He screamed as the light pierced his body and attacked him with purity.
It was enough time for Elizabeth to flap away in pain.
The white light now gone, Dracula's Balrog fire was diminished.
Dracula was panting, bleeding where the rays cut into his skin.
Still he was alive.
And angry.
"SO MY SWEETS, STRONG AREN'T YOU? I WILL HAVE TO PUNISH YOU FOR SUCH DISOBEDIENCE." Dracula hissed, standing up and leaping at Elizabeth in the air. They were both tackled to the ground.
"FANGS OF BLOOD!!" Dracula hissed, biting his fangs deep into her neck.
She screamed.
The two teeth went right through her throat to the other side.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Withdrawing quickly, he looked down at his limp angel.
The wounds resealed, and she was yet still alive.
But her glow was almost gone.
Her glow was turning red.
She breathed softly in his arms, her wings shivering and the tips turning red.
It was like a disease crawling up her tattered feathers.
Her skin was paling.
She opened her golden eyes, swimming with tears as they were turning red.
Dracula growled in delight as his angel was becoming vampire.
The golden dress she was wearing was unraveling into the ribbons once more.
The ribbons turned red.
Elizabeth could only scream and twitch in Dracula's arms as he watched.
But he made another mistake.
The other angel stood above him.
And with a stunning blow, Katie hovered and drove the mallet with blinding speed on his head.
"I condemn you to Hell!" She screamed and white light blinded everything.
Dracula stood and screamed an unearthly scream, completely flooded with purity and Godly-ness.
He dropped Elizabeth and fell to his knees.
He held his head and then looked ahead of him with bleeding eyes.
Katie leaped over him and pulled Elizabeth away.
Dracula was trembling and gasping as his body was being consumed by holy flame.
"I will…come…back…some…day…and claim…my angels…once…more…" He stuttered.
And then he fell to the floor, the wind whipping up in the hall.
He turned into dust and it blew away into the castle winds.
Their purpose was finished.
And Elizabeth turned human once more in her friend's arms.
Both of their wings folded up into their bodies.
The ribbons melted off into puddles of silver and gold.
The glow grew brighter however.
And they regained their human conciseness.
Without first, surrounded in what they were in a mass of gold and white, a man stood with them.
An angel with flowing long brown hair.
Wearing gold and silver robes and shining armor.
His wings were wide and elegant, shining white and in the light flashing the colors of the rainbow.
They looked around, forgetting that they were fighting just a few moments ago.
Elizabeth gasped as she looked at his face.
Katie was speechless with wonder.
His deep brown eyes, the brown hair…
It was the Arch-Angel Gabriel.
The left hand of God.
Gabriel Van Helsing.
Katie's lost love.
His hands were on both of their shoulders, his face kindly and reflecting the light of God.
The girls were floating in their human forms.
"I am the Arch-Angel Gabriel, the Angel of Righteousness." He gave in a friendly tone, however bombastic his sentence was.
"I can't believe this! And I…I turning into…an angel…" Elizabeth stammered, still swimming in his kindly eyes.
"Yes, you are a re-incarnation of the Angel of Truth. Sent here to do business with evil, just as I was sent on those church steps at the Vatican. You have an angel in you. It will only come out when the need arises." He explained.
"So that is why we were fighting without really knowing it; we just had a new spirit personality shift in control. We became the angel!" Katie gasped. That was what happened!
"The need arose, and you two banished him into Hell for punishment."
"And because of our powers, that was why Dracula wanted us. He wanted to direct the holiness of life to his spawn." Katie realized it even more.
"Exactly. But he won't stay in Hell for long. He will return once again and seek you both out to try again to use your bodies. This must not happen. That is why you both are here."
"Have you really been watching over us?" Katie asked.
"Indeed, I have. You have always loved me from afar, though I cannot come back to the Earth at this moment. I am needed here in heaven to prepare for the apocalypse. The apocalypse when the world will be awakened into a new age, Hell shall end, and the angels can freely walk among the Earth, and the father and son will rule in the skies. You must do the lord's bidding and help the world be rid of the greater threats of evil. And then, when you are no longer needed, return to your true home here. This cycle has always been happening. In fact, your angels were once living people in the past. Joan de Arc and Saint Teresa." He pointed to each of them, making them gasp at the truth and what was in store for them.
"I guess then, you were right Katie. Your username on DeviantART, its Gabrielsangel. You truly are an angel, under Gabriel." Elizabeth nodded.
"It is true. I am your guardian angels, my little ones. Though half of you are millennia's old, each reincarnation into a body wipes the memory. They gain it back only in the true death of the body they are in. You have yet to achieve that. I hope not too soon." He spoke.
"I must go angel of Truth and Justice. I am needed in heaven. I shall return you both home, where you will resume your normal lives." He got closer and hugged them, letting them feel the warmth flowing from him, his wings wrapped around them in rainbows.
"If you and the other angels are so powerful, why did you and they strike him down already?" Elizabeth asked innocently, holding his robes tight.
"We try not to meddle in the business of Man unless absolutely necessary. Reincarnations are sent out without notice really, but when the need arises then the spirits possess an unborn child, and they are born rarely. From that, they are the ones who are given the purpose and act upon it, at least lessening the evils of the world." The bright shimmering rainbow glow around them was blinding everything.
"Will we ever see you again?" Katie cried, afraid to let go of her Gabriel.
"Yes, I am you angel, your guide…and you're…" He paused, looking down at her with human, caring eyes.
"You are…what?" Katie asked as the beautiful melodic humming noise got louder. The only thing she could see was his tearing eyes.
"You're…love…"
And darkness fell around them.
And she felt the happiest she ever had.
Those words from an angel of God…
She was Gabriel's angel.
