Supernatural Furries

Chapter 33: Point of No Return

Renamon drove to the center of California. "All right!" said Renamon. "Zachariah, come down!"

Zachariah appeared. "What is it Renamon?"

"I have a deal to make with you," said Renamon. "About Michael."

"Sorry, but no," said Zachariah.

"No… what?" said Renamon.

"You've rejected me too many times," said Zachariah. "So I took your blood the first chance I got and got another furry to drink it. One of your old rivals. Wolf O'Donnell. Then I brought him back to life."

"So then…" said Renamon.

"Yes," said Zachariah. "Wolf can now be Michael's vessel. It's not perfect, but it'll be enough for him to destroy the world, kill Lucifer, and recreate the world according to my design."

"Where is Wolf now?" said Renamon.

"Vanished," said Zachariah. "The two angels overlooking the site where he rose from the ground, they're dead. Only Castiel could've done that. He must be hiding Wolf right now."

And he vanished.

Renamon returned to Fox's house and saw Krystal, Fox, and Wolf.

"I must go," said Wolf. "I need to say yes to Michael. Then it will save the world."

"Zachariah's lying!" said Fox. "He wants to destroy the world through Michael's battle with Lucifer!"

"Well I'm going to find Zachariah," said Wolf.

"You can't, said Castiel. "I put a sigil on your ribs so angels can't find you."

That night, Wolf saw Zachariah in a dream and told him where they were. The next day, Wolf was gone.

"I know where he took him," said Castiel.

He took them to an old warehouse.

"Is this the angelic greenhouse?" said Renamon.

"Yes," said Castiel. "But there's five angels in there."

"How do we defeat them?" said Krystal.

Castiel walked into the warehouse. There was a smaller warehouse inside. An angel walked up to Castiel and fought him, but Castiel stabbed him and he fell dead. Four more angels walked into the room, but Castiel put his hand against an angel-banishing sigil he carved into his chest with a switchblade, and all the angels – including Castiel – vanished.

Krystal and Renamon entered and walked into the warehouse to see Zachariah giving Wolf some apples.

"So nice of you to come," said Zachariah. He snapped his fingers. Krystal and Wolf both began coughing blood.

"I told you I'm the last person you want to dick around with," he said. "Wolf is expendable now. He doesn't want to say yes to Michael anymore."

"But you need Krystal too!" said Renamon.

"I can bring her back and then kill her again," said Zachariah. "Maybe I'll cut off her tail too."

"All right!" said Renamon. "I'll say yes to Michael."

"Excellent!" said Zachariah. He called "Boss! Come down here!"

Renamon looked over at Krystal.

"Of course there are a few conditions," said Renamon. "Neither you nor Michael is allowed to touch Krystal or Fox. First and foremost, I won't agree to anything until he vaporizes you."

"What?" said Zachariah. "Ha ha ha! He won't kill me!"

"But I will," said Renamon, and she stabbed Zachariah in the throat with an angel-killing sword. Light shone from Zachariah's eyes and mouth and he fell dead.

White light flooded into the room and Renamon and Krystal ran. Wolf got up but the door slammed shut. Renamon and Krystal tried to open it, but by the time it opened, there was just an empty dark space, and there was no sign of the greenhouse or of Wolf.

Renamon and Krystal drove back to Fox's house.

"Screw destiny," said Renamon again. "I'll never say yes to Michael. We'll find another way to beat Lucifer and stop the apocalypse."
