The figure spoke in a melodious voice, "Be not afraid, my children."

"An angel?" Onari wondered curiously.

The angel's descent halted when they were about 10 feet above and in front of Onari and Yu Wu. The ray of Holy Light slowly faded, revealing a vision of absolute beauty. The only way Onari could describe the beauty of the angel was 'blessed by the heavens'.

There were simply no other words that captured her radiance. She shined with an aura of innocence and purity that was completely at odds with her womanly charms. Rather than detract from her looks, this contrast only seemed to enhance everything else about her.

From her Venus-like body to her doll-like facial features. From her kissable lips to her pillowy thighs. From her grabbable hips to her ludicrously big mommy milkers. Onari was completely taken, smitten, by the angel's beauty.

"You've been a naughty boy," the angel stated.

Onari's mind obviously went to… lewder places than the angel's tone implied, "~Oh yeah? ~Am I going to be punished?"

The angel pouted, "Well, I don't want to, but if you don't give back the nuke you stole, I might just have to!"

"~Mmm, ye-... Wait, nuke?!" the angel's words snapped Onari out of his simping trance.

Yu Wu snickered beside him, prodding his side with her elbow, "Yes, darling, the nuke. You wouldn't happen to be thinking of anything else, would you? She's an angel and your mind goes there… For shame, my beloved~"

Onari blushed, "Shut up… Like you were any better…"

"Hey!" the angel shouted, snapping her fingers to get their attention back. "Focus! This is serious!"

Onari tried to ignore the way she almost whined the last sentence, but the cuteness stabbed at his heart, "A-Ahem… Right, focus… Well, first, maybe it would be best if we introduce ourselves. I'm sure we can work out this misunderstanding without any conflict."

"Oh! I'm sorry! Where are my manners?" the angel said, shaking her head and giving them a beaming smile. "My name is Gabriel. I am one of Heaven's Ten Seraphs."

Knowledge of Gabriel's identity sobered Onari and Yu Wu up quite quickly. One of the Biblical God's first children was now in front of them. And she had apparently come to see them about the nuke they stole. This seemed to be more serious than they first expected.

"Well met, Lady Gabriel," Onari greeted. "I am Onari and my lovely fiancee here is Yu Wu."

"Congratulations! It's always wonderful to see two young people find love!"

Yu Wu coughed at the soul-melting innocence and genuineness in Gabriel's compliment, "Y-Yes… We thank you for the kind words, Lady Gabriel. Perhaps we should get back to the purpose of this meeting though."

"Ah! Of course!" Gabriel gasped before her adorable face turned back into a pout. "You two have been very naughty! What do you even need a nuclear weapon for?"

"Our intentions are pure, Lady Gabriel," Onari reassured. "We do not intend to cause any harm or destruction with the warhead we stole."

Gabriel hummed when Onari's words didn't trip the lie detector inherent to her being, "Hmm, you speak the truth… But why even steal it in the first place?"

Hearing that Gabriel's tone had lost a lot of its hostility after verifying that they didn't have any malicious plans for their stolen nuke, Onari elaborated, "We wanted to… eat it…"

Onari blushed when Gabriel blinked confusedly, "Eat it? Silly Onari, explosions aren't food."

Seeing Onari's blush intensify further, Yu Wu giggled, "What my fiance means by that, Lady Gabriel, is that we intended to consume the energy within the bomb to further grow our strength."

Gabriel blinked again, this time more surprised than confused, "Well, that is certainly a first. Did… Did it work?"

"It did, Lady Gabriel. Even after absorbing only a fraction of the energy, we have both seen great progress in our strength."

"And that's all you plan to do with it?

"Indeed. Like my fiance said, we bear no malicious intent."

"... You promise?"

"Of course! This young mistress will swear on her name and her immortal soul that her words are true!"

"Well, Father always did preach about forgiveness… And both of your souls are way too pure to conceal something this important from my senses…" Gabriel muttered before raising her voice. "Alright, I guess I'll let this slide just this once. Father knows that country doesn't deserve to have nuclear weapons anyway… But! You still have to write an apology letter. One for both of the Koreas. You really worried a lot of people. The Church has had to send in exorcists to cover things up."

Onari rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah, that's fair. I'll try and keep the sonic booms to a minimum in the future."

In the moment of silence after Onari spoke, an idea suddenly struck Gabriel. She had been rather busy and lonely lately. Even though they were misguided, Onari and Yu Wu seemed rather nice. And they obviously needed a guiding hand to keep them out of trouble. She could take them under her metaphorical and literal wing and turn them away from their mischievous ways!

"Good," Gabriel nodded. "And I'll be keeping in touch and visiting you every week or so. I've decided you two need my guidance so you don't go pulling more stunts like this! T-Totally not so I can skip out on work!"

Yu Wu giggled, "We'll pretend we didn't hear that last part."

Gabriel blushed lightly, "... Thank you."

"So… I guess-" Onari's words were interrupted by a crack of thunder from the skies above. "Oh, what now!?"

In an instant, the day went from sunny and somewhat cloudy, to full-on overcast with gray clouds as far as the eye could see. There was another boom of thunder and an arrogant laugh echoed out of the clouds. A blinding flash of lightning brighter than the sun illuminated the underside of the cloud cover. As the lightning faded, the figure of a man was revealed, standing on air a couple of meters away from Gabriel, Onari, and Yu Wu.

The man looked to be in his mid twenties and had brownish-blond hair styled in a buzz cut. His height and muscular body type cut an intimidating figure. His mouth seemed to be perpetually set in a cocky smirk that almost invited people to punch him and try their luck.

He wore a pair of dark shades over his eyes. A red dot marked the man's forehead. Loops of Buddha beads wrapped around his neck, wrist, and ankle. The clothes he wore were almost insultingly casual, topped off by an aloha shirt and bright yellow shorts.

Onari and Yu Wu saw Gabriel tense beside them and prepared themselves for trouble. Their senses cautiously probed the newcomer, trying to gauge the man's power level. What they felt certainly didn't make them feel at ease.

On a metaphysical level, the man was immense. He was deep and vast and utterly enormous. His presence felt like the endless skies of the heavens themselves in a humanoid form.

"Lord Indra," Gabriel greeted politely. "This is certainly an auspicious occurrence. What brings you here today?"
