Michael gritted his teeth as he quickly took a moment to assess the situation.
There were millions upon millions of souls standing on the stairway to heaven.
If a battle ensued here, they could become collateral damage in the blink of an eye.

So for right now, Michael had to peacefully negotiate a way to ensure the release of himself and everyone here, as well as the entire domain of heaven if he was able.
"Dragon… release the girl and come with us so that we can find an amicable solution to our current stalemate."
Abaddon smiled as he clicked his teeth and wagged his finger.
"Angel… this is not a stalemate. You want something from me, but I am not inclined to give it back no matter how much you ask. You may as well go on about your life as normal."
"I don't believe that is in our best interest."
