Last Chapter - http://www.ubersite.com/m/76481
Heaven. The first born of the Archguard Trinity, it was a prototype in reality engineering. No one was entirely sure how old it was, or who in fact built it. Rumors swirled around the metaphysical community that god-capital "G" was not the first inhabiter of the realm. That secreted away in the center of his palace was an item of unknown origin and power called merely "The Doctrine." This artifact outlined the progression of the course that God Himself had taken over the next countless eons. However, such myths were not the reasons why Ed and Grace had just teleported into the Shinning Above.
Unlike Hell, which Satan felt needed to evolve with the times, Heaven didn't much change. As far as Ed could see, there wasn't much to work with. They stood, or rather floated on clouds with an endless light blue sky above them. No sun shone down on them, they were illuminated by the essence of Heaven itself. Before them stood a giant gate molded from solid gold, its reflection a beacon of color in what otherwise seemed a drab place.
"Is it always this boring here?" asked Grace.
"I've never been here before, I assumed you had," replied Ed.
"Not me," said Grace.
They tried walking and found the maneuver difficult. Instead they leapt, floating against the air, and made their way slowly to the gate. A very bored looking older man sat there reading a paper back book.
"Um, excuse me," said Grace when they had made it to the front of the gate.
The old man looked up at them startled. He blinked a few times, then smiled.
"No one was scheduled for arrival for another... twenty minutes. Forgive me, I'm Saint Peter and welcome to Heaven. Here you will find..."
"Yes sir, we know who you are. We're not dead," Ed tried to explain.
Peter peered over the top of his glasses. "Yes then, why are you here?"
"We need to see Gabriel," said Grace.
"I'm afraid that's impossible," said the gatekeeper. "Gabriel's quite busy, and only those who have been judged worthy of God's grace may enter Heaven. I'm not entirely sure how you made it this far. Although you look familiar, young lady."
"She is the spawn of the Devil himself!" came a roar.
All three looked up to see an angel flying down from above the gates, his flaming golden sword drawn and at the ready. He was completely bald and had a thick scar running down the front of his left cheek. Ed recognized him as Azazeal, the Vengeance of God, and he didn't look too pleased to see them.
Azazeal brought his sword down, aiming it at Grace's head. At the last minute she called up a burst of Hellfire to deflect his thrust. The Angel went flying back against the the gates, his robes singed.
"How dare you bring such vile magick into the home of the All Mighty! I will cast you and your damned accomplice forth from this most holy of place!"
As Azazeal readied himself for another attack, Ed had had enough. He concentrated Discordian Energies at the Angel and emitted a burst that sent the member of the Heavenly Host staggering.
Azazeal very existence was shifted out of alignment. His sword extinguished, he lay there moaning on a cloud. Ed walked up to the Angel, ready to further tear apart Azazeal should he prove a threat.
"A... a Kaote," came the Angel's broken voice, the sound scattered across reality barriers. "I... always knew, that, that, that, your kind... were in... league with... evil-evil."
Ed idly thought about blasting him again just for fun.
"Edward, Grace, what seems to be the problem here?"
Michael glided down from above the gates, his long black hair trailing out around him. His robes were as pristine as his smile. Ed had dealt with this Archangel a few time before and knew that he would play them straight.
"Hello Mike. We came here to the gates to see if we could speak with Gabriel. Before we could really get anywhere with Peter here," gesturing to the terrified old man clutching his book. "Azazeal came swooping down, full of apocalypse. It would seem he didn't take to our being in the Golden Place."
"Azazeal can be aggressive in his beliefs," sighed Michael.
"You think so?" asked Grace sarcastically.
The Vengeance of God was retaining his form and his senses. He was getting to his knees when he claimed his sword again. It flamed up in his grasp. The slightest bit of a frown creased Michael's face as he turned to Azazeal.
"You will put your weapon aside and return to your post, brother."
"But Michael, they must be vanquished in the name of out Lord! It is my duty to..."
"Your loyalty is admirable, old friend. But Edward Sands and the Princess Morningstar are not our enemies. Return, Azazeal... now."
The bald Angel sneered at the two but flew off.
"I'm sorry if this will cause problems for you, Mike," said Ed.
"Not at all," said Michael softly, watching Azazeal disappear. "In fact, it has solidified some suspicions that I've had."
"What do you mean?" asked Grace.
"Nothing that concerns you at the moment. Now, why were you looking for Gabriel?"
Ed and Grace explained to Michael about their plan to find Vasquez, and how he wasn't anywhere in the Archguard. How they had tracked down Nuncio and planned on having him take them to the Uhmbra, where the believed Vasquez may have ended up. They finished with the news of all the Uhmbrites that had been living on Earth suddenly being brutally murdered. Michael had stayed silent through out their entire story. At the end he closed his eyes, and in mortal fashion, rubbed his temples as if he had a headache.
"Perhaps my suspicions do concern you after all," he said.
"What? You mean about Azazeal?" asked Ed.
"It goes much deeper than him. I assume that the two of you are aware of the Par-Uhmbra?"
"Are we the only two who hadn't heard of this place before a few weeks ago?" asked Grace throwing up her hands.
"That is why this 'Nuncio' was killed. He and all the rest of the Uhmbrites. Because someone found out the two of you were planning on making a trip to the Par-Uhmbra. All loose ends had to be tied up. That has to be where Vasquez is now. By God! He's behind all of this, and we allowed him to just walk right back in!"
"Who? What are you talking about?" said Grace confused.
"Mammon. He's an Angel who was in exile for eons, but now he's back. I believe he's behind Vasquez's disappearance and the murder of all the Uhmbrites!"

Don't listen to Professor fuckface...he's, well, a fuckface. But not in the good, sexy way.
Anyhoo, I liked this...except for the last paragraph. The way you ended it sounded like it should have been accompanied by a "Dun-dun DUUUNNNNNN!!" A bit dramatic for me, especially from an angel.
****************
Because we all know angels have no flair for the dramatic. Jesus, what was I on when I wrote that? I don't even know what that last line means.

oh yeah, Prof. Fuck Head
If he didn't use the double line spacing it would look like one big block of text, which you would also bitch about. So, shut up already.

Hey Anti,
A Stupid Suggestion.
You always write "Last Chapter" at the top of these posts with the link to it. It's a smart thing to do, but the wod "Last" always makes me think it's the "Final" chapter. Perhaps you could start writing "Previous" so that my weird ass mind can be bothered no longer.

Hi, I'm from a publishing house. We realize it is a grand accomplishment to achieve positive ratings on this "chaotic" website when you are at the mercy of random judgment.
Seriously though, it's worth noting that the series is truly involving and exciting and it's not just a bunch of fans hanging from your nuts. Although I do have a crush on Grace. Interesting...

A very minor flaw that didn't detract from the overall flow.

I just had a good laugh reading this. The shinning. The crappy writing sk1llz0rs. The cornbeef dialogue. Ten new characters introduced or mentioned each sentence. Double line spacing (was only ever used for manuscripts, so the editor could take a pen and write between the lines, not to space out the story, fuckmunch). The sci-fi religious crossover bullshit. It all comes together in a tour de shit of forced shit. If I were Hitler it would be your kind that gets the gasseous showers first.

Well that was fun. You see what I did there? I pretended your shitty story might actually be something someone might want or even pay to read.

PFF,
If you don't like it, don't click on it.
Simple as that.

Uh-oh! I realized a fuck up I made in the storyline. Not ALL of the erathbound Uhmbrites are dead... just most of them. This will come into play later - FUCK!!!
