Overhaul

@silentwcrds

Amitiel was wheeled into the med bay as Heylel collapsed against the wall.

The Buak, a brutish people launched themselves on the ship trying to get to Heylel and Amitiel.

Heylel looked at Michael and swallowed her panting, and tried to steady her breathing.

"Thanks for coming."

Michael looked up from the flight plans, he gave a curt nod and frowned.

"I came for my sister, whatever you did - Tabbris was down screaming, I honed on her by using him. Which I guess was the point right?"

She nodded straightening fully and moving toward Michael, only for swords to be pointed at her throat.

Galaerii had moved to intercept her. She scoffed at them.

"Why stay loyal to someone like him? Someone who only wants to enslave us and -"

One of the soldiers, Ansiel snarled at her.

"He is chosen! He is good! All you did was make it harder for us to be trusted and get better jobs! You are the bane of all our-"

"Father never said their needed to be tyrants -"

"Don't you dare speak of Father! You Heathen! Do you pray? Do you know anything of the gospels and written word? You are -"

The window behind them shattered behind them and they all hit the ground.

Cassiel hit the floor, grabbing for his blade as the Buak trampled in.

Angels guarding Amitiel's medbay rushed in to help the gaurds.

Heylel had frozen as she looked at one of them, so much so that she didn't see the Buak aiming his sword at her. She screamed as it sliced her arm.

She rolled out the way and for a weapon. But one of the soldiers, Janax jumped into the fray. Michael held the ship in gear and steered it.

He screwered a few Buak and then slammed his hand down on the ground throwing the remaining Buak out of the ship.

The Galaerii stared in shock, the one from earlier Ansiel inched closer.

"The fuck Janax? When were you going to tell us you were blessed?"

Janax stood and brushed the glass from him. He tries to get out of the circle forming around him. Heylel hangs back, Cassiel tries to stand without drawing any attention to himself.

"I don't want to talk about it Ansiel, let's just-"

He pauses as Ansiel grabs his elbow.

"Hey? Don't you trust Michael? Tell us, this is a good thing, this could help -"

Michael is pointedly not looking in their direction. He is gripping the steering wheel tightly.

Janax sighed and gives the Galaerii a pointed look.

"Can I trust you?"

"Jan? Come on! We trained together, we -"

"Can I trust you all? Excluding the archs and the harlot."

Cassiel notices that Heylel flinched and her hands ball up into fists at her side.

The Galaerii murmur a yes.

Janax sighed heavily and rolled his shoulders backwards.

"Aniyel, my name is Aniyel. I - I - I needed to forge my own path and I-"

"Is that why you didn't reach out to me? Is that why you let me believe you died? That I never resurrected you?"

Ansiel stilled in shock and Aniyel looks at Heylel and scowled.

"You, you have the gall to ask me that after what you did to Jael? He was a child Heylel! A child that you scentenced to slavery!"

"He let our daughter die! He should be punished for what he did!"

"I was like him once! I would have done anything for you! Would you have had me scentenced if I didn't meet your standards? If I got Amitiel to be hurt or didn't see her betraying you?"

Heylel scoffed and shook her head.

"It's not the same thing! You are smarter than Jael, besides he wasn't good enough for -"

Aniyel moves, wrenching his arm from Ansiel and throwing Heylel against a wall.

Michael finally looks up as Heylel yells. Aniyel has her in a chokehold.

He presses a dagger against her throat.

"If you ever try do that again I will kill you myself. You are the reason our children live the life they do. Zarall needn't of died, and Bernael -"

His voice breaks and Michael moves slowly toward them.

"Aniyel put her -"

Aniyel whips around and presses the dagger against Michael's throat.

"With the speed were going we should be docked in an two hours yes? I want Jael pardoned, he has more than served his time. I want to see my son Michael. Tell whoever you need to to make that happen is that clear?"

Michael's mouth twitches and he looks like he wants to protest but just nods. Aniyel steps away from Michael and Heylel. She falls to the ground gasping for air and rubbing at her neck.

Aniyel glares down at her.

"I wash my hand of you Heyel. You aren't the same angel I mated with. I'm done with you."

She snickers and looks at Ansiel who still hasn't moved.

"That's fine, I'm sure you didn't sleep in a cold bed."

Aniyel snickers.

"No, but then again neither did you yes?"

He grabs the claimant he had hidden from everyone and burns it. He relishes as Heylel screams and claws at her neck.

He drops the half burned necklace on the ground and walks back toward Amitiel's room.

He turns back to Michael.

"Jael and Bernael. Remeber."

He turns and goes inside.
