"I can't find Michael." Raphael said.

"He's nowhere. You know I can always find him when he storms off or skulks away." he reminded her.

"Not thing time." he went on.

"I don't know where he is. At all." he stressed.

"It's far too much of a coincidence to just ignore."

"Asriel is going to talk to Uriel and Gabriel." Raphael told her.

"You three are the closest we have to a network of information on the surface." he said.

"So if anyone can find out about this, it's you guys." he reasoned.

"...you should have seen Ash." he then mumbled.

"The wounds that Ascalon dealt to him were... frightening." he admitted.

"But it seems that Ascalon was also weakened when in the hands of a Fallen. He managed to break it." he then added.

"...I hope not." Raphael responded. "The last time something like THAT happened... the world went to crap." he said. "And she was feeling stressed and angry back then. We all saw it. She wears her emotions on her sleeve." he continued.

"She wasn't like that last time I saw her." he went on.

"...unless she was actually hiding it this time." he then said.

"What do you think?" he asked. "Did YOU get the sense she was getting frustrated?" he asked further.

"Because I didn't get anything like that."

"...oof, yeah." Raphael muttered.

"EVERYONE needs to get in on this. Above, below, and in-between." he said. "If something's happened to Emelie, everything will collapse. Same with Elizabeth." he said further.

"Anyway, I just came here to tell you that." he then said.

"Get the ball rolling in terms of info-gathering." he continued.

"...maybe try and stop this before Ragnarok happens."

She waited for about 20 seconds, and just when she was getting ready to knock again... this time more forcefully... the door opened, revealing Gabe. And he looked... well, overall, far different than how he used to look.

The others had seen it happen over time, her included, but it was still a little weird to see Gabriel suddenly, and he didn't have a sour look in his eyes. Instead, he looked... softer, nicer, kinder. Like God's Love.

And he looked surprised to see her.

"...Sari?" he asked.

"What is it?" he asked further, stepping out of the way so she could enter if she chose.

Gabe looked at her in disbelief for a moment, before narrowing his eyes.

"...they do, eh." he said.

She nodded.

"Wonderful." he grumbled.

"Means something's happened, and she hasn't just messed off for an impromptu vacation." he said.

"We'll need to track her down and try and find her."

Gabe's eyes hardened when he heard all that.

"They come near Erica, they'll find out just how close 'love' and 'hate' are to each other." he warned.

"...but Emelie's missing... Michael's gone AWOL... Ascalon in the hands of a Fallen..." he went on, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Damn it." he cursed.

"Something's going on." he said further.

"Could Michael be actually attempting a coup?"

"To understate it." Gabe replied.

"This could very well be the start of a chain of events that leads to Ragnarok." he told her.

"We need to interrupt this before it gets that far." he said further.

"...but we need to find Michael." he then said.

"And only the Harmony can locate Fallen. But a fallen Archangel may be too much for even THEM."

"...didn't think of that." Gabe mumbled.

"This might be a case where, if we can't find Emelie, we'll need to throw the full forces of Heaven, Hell, and Earth at him." he told her.

"Seriously." he said.

"We may need to just go nuclear on him." he said further.

"Anything to stop this world from crumbling."

Gabe thought for a moment.

"Firstly, you don't need to tell me to protect Erica." he told her.

"As for Uriel, he should be with his woman in France." he then said.

"And as far as getting ahold of Gregory and/or Madison, your best bet is enlisting the help of Ash's sister-in-law, Casey Kiczys." he suggested. "Or her son, Evan." he went on.

"They both seem to be able to VERY easily summon the reapers."
