In a striking white light, Rex Gremory and Palutena appeared through the latter's magic-circle, in the meeting hall of Sixth Heaven, or Zebel, as others knew it as.
Whatever the name was, it was where the Ten Seraph, the rulers of Heaven, resided, along with where they occasionally invited special guests, which Rex and Palutena certainly were, along with two individuals that were already sat at a table, beside Michael, the current Archangels, official Leader of the Angels and the presently centre of the Holy System, that the Biblical God, Palutena's Father, had previously taken control of before he died, and Gabriel, Michael's sister, and the Strongest Woman in Heaven.
Michael was a handsome man in his mid-twenties, with long blonde hair and perpetually sad-looking green eyes. He was dressed in gold, red and white armour, over a white robe.
Gabriel was, in three words, jaw-droppingly beautiful. She had curly blonde hair that went down to her back, blue eyes, and a very voluptuous figure, with breasts bigger than Palutena's.
She wore a white lily-flower in her hair, and a white robe around her body, that exposed very little skin, but showed off her figure brilliantly, which Rex appreciated very much.
Michael and Gabriel were sat with the two present leaders of the Grigori, the organisation that 95% of the Fallen Angels were a part of: Azazel, the Governer-General of the Fallen Angels, and Shemhazai, the Vice-Governer-General.
Azazel was tall, appearing to be in his twenties, with an average build, black hair, gold bangs, and a black goatee.
He wore a black trench-coat that went down to his knees, and a black business suit underneath.
Shemhazai also appeared also to be in his twenties, with silver-white hair and purple eyes. His outfit consisted of a purple beret, a purple trench-coat over a black vest, white pants and black boots.
"Hey, everyone." Rex, the only individual of the six present with Devil blood in his veins, greeted the two Angels and two Fallen Angels.
Azazel and Shemhazai both raised greetings to Rex in return, as he took his seat at a table that had been drawn up, but Michael and Gabriel immediately rose, walked over to Palutena, and dropped to one knee in a simultaneous bow.
Rex sniggered at the sight. He knew how much Palutena LOATHED it when people bowed before her, but he couldn't blame Michael or Gabriel for doing so.
Palutena was the only individual left with God's holy blood running through her veins, which made her, for all intents and purposes, God herself.
"Rise, the pair of you." Palutena remarked, and Michael and Gabriel immediately rose from their bow.
"I know I'm the daughter of your almighty Father, but... eh..." She trailed off.
"You know what? Forget it." Palutena shrugged her shoulders, walked over to a chair next to Rex, and sat down in it, as Michael and Gabriel resumed their seats.
"Greetings to you, Rex Gremory." Michael bowed his head in a formal manner before Rex. "I hope you're doing well."
"Very well, thank you, Michael." Rex replied. "And drop the 'Gremory' part, please. We're all friends here."
"Understood." Michael replied, bowing his head again, before resuming his position. Gabriel, arguably the happiest and the kindest of the Seraph, smiled widely at Rex, and waved.
"Hey, Rex!" She chirped, her melodious voice as beautiful as ever. Rex smiled, and nodded back to Gabriel, before Michael spoke.
"Now, Rex. Palutena informed me that you'd completed the mission that Azazel asked you to do." Michael spoke. "Is this true?"
"Yes." Rex replied, turning to Azazel.
"So, how did it go?" Azazel asked. "Any trouble with the Devils in Kuoh?"
"None." Rex replied. "When I arrived in Kuoh and made my way to where the Stray Fallen Angels were said to be holed up, I sensed that there was only one left alive. Evidently the Devils of Kuoh must have caught wind of them, and moved to exterminate them themselves."
"That does sound like them." Michael nodded. "Go on."
"Well, I entered the church, killed the only Fallen Angel left, and found the nun that you heard they'd kidnapped, Azazel." Rex continued. "She was dead."
Gabriel put her hands up to her mouth in horror. She, like Rex, absolutely hated it when she heard that innocents had died during a mission.
"However." Rex replied. "Palutena has brought her back to life as an Angel, and she's currently sleeping at my house."
"Oh, good." Gabriel replied, her tone as happy as normal. "I always felt sorry for that nun. Even if she was a threat to the system, I still feel uncomfortable with the idea of such a believer being excommunicated."
"I know." Michael added, his perpetually sad eyes looking even sadder. "We should have found another way." He looked at Palutena. "Palutena, I thank you for saving the nun's life. I have faith that you'll make sure that she has a good life, as an Angel."
"Thank you, Michael." Palutena bowed her head. "I'll do my best."
"And we have you to thank, ourselves, Rex." Shemhazai spoke up. "Even though this matter had absolutely nothing to do with you, you still carried it out."
"Therefore, it's only right that we offer you a reward for your troubles." Azazel continued. "Name your reward, apart from my position as Governer-General of Grigori, and it's yours."
"Hmm." Rex thought for a moment, and his mind came up entirely blank. "I can't really think of anything at the moment, but I reserve the right to choose later. When I think of something, I'll get back to you."
"Very well." Azazel nodded. "Come on, Shem. We should get back to the Grigori now." Azazel and Shemhazai both stood up, gave their goodbyes to Michael, Gabriel, Rex and Palutena, and left via their own magic-circles, leaving the Nephalem, two Angels and Goddess alone.
Gabriel and Palutena stood up, walked over to a corner, and began talking, leaving Michael to walk over to Rex and speak with him.
"Rex?"
