The angel simply winked at Minerva, unnaturally confident.
Then he looked at Chastity again and leaned in too.
"Well, how about being superior to him in every way? I can be the thing you truly need in your life, not some silly infatuation with a pathetic little demon who abandons you to help other people... I can be the best experience of your life, lady. He can please you? I can please you more. He can treat you right? He's a demon - I'm an angel. There's no way he can treat you as well as I can. Now then, enough banter. I've made my offer, to make you beg for more from me. So we can either do this the way I want, or the way you want it to go... but either way, girl, you're leaving here with me -"
His gaze flickered to her waist, then back up to her eyes.
" - and you're going to willingly take that belt off...just for me..."

He leaned close.
"I am Eros. I'm the angel of love, baby... the king of lust is all about sex, I'm all about the bond. And the bond makes it so much better... I could, if I wanted, make you fall in love with me, hopelessly and desperately, forget that incubus entirely. And all he did to you..."
He looked out the window.
"So here's the chain of events as they can transpire, because I've been called up to ensure that you and that filth can never have children. You can kiss me, or I can kiss you. The instant you kiss me, you'll realize how much better I am than him... because you won't remember him at all."

His eyes turned smug and cruel.
"So what's it going to be?"

He whistled and looked out the window.
"Here's a question for you. How much do you think Mawthrough can take in terms of damage? Because at this point, the continued survival of your lover depends entirely on you. There is a warship floating above this place with enough firepower to reduce your precious incubus to dust. Sure, everyone else like that Occidio fellow might die too, but I'm not exactly too bothered - I was asked to take you away from him, and looking at you now, I'm pleased to do the job."

He wore the smug smile of victory.
"Now, are you going to say no and make me give the order? Because there are two ways this can end, and they're both exactly the same except for his blood being on your hands... although when I'm done with you, you won't care..."

Mawthrough was finding it harder and harder to watch these memories...
"Hey, she's free now. She's free. And she wants to see her son again, so let's not waste time..."
He was worried about the nymph he'd seen... and thanked God that he'd put that belt on her, because otherwise who knew what could happen if they crossed paths...

Eros sighed.
"Let's just say friends of the big fella upstairs, shall we? And I can see that you're getting all upset over this deal, so what do you say I offer a time limit. If you haven't decided in fifty seconds, I'm going to kiss you, and the ship's going to blast lover-boy to smithereens. Sound good?"

Eros gave a smile.
"Oh, I'm hoping he is, because there's exactly zero chance of him being able to stop me once I have you. He'll get weaker and weaker without you, so he'll come to kill me. But I can't wait to see the look on his face when I send you against him, my loyal lover, defending her rightful god. But that's even assuming he can get to heaven, and even then you can't be seriously imagining that he can break through the gates of heaven..."
He looked at Minerva, who'd been watching him with growing anger.
"Tell the incubus she went willingly, and... well, I'll graciously allow you to give him a message to tell her, Chastity. I like your name... but I think I'll make you change it to My Pet, or something demeaning like that..."

Minerva stood up, her power shaking the very restauraunt, her anger very evident. Her celestial powers increased rapidly as she drew her wings out. "Eros, I always knew you were scum, just didn't think you'd do something like this, but remember, if you harm Occidio, Ezekiel, he will murder you in more ways than you can imagine......and he is capable of it......he's the arch angel of death after all............" As she walked past him, she placed her claw like hand against his throat, "And I'll scar you for life so that not even your powers could attract a single feeble minded woman, oh, and apparently you didn't notice......" She looked to Valkyrie and Jessenda, "But your powers don't work on them either......you think your a man, your a boy, that's all............" She walked out and flew toward Occidio's body.

Occidio's memories continued to display hundreds of horrid lives over the years, including the slaughter of him and his squad by Dageroth. When finally, the last links were in place, he was on his knees in the soul realm, holding his head tightly, wanting to cry out in pain. "It hurts worse the second time I experience it all, because I can't stop my own memories.........."

He didn't think twice about it - he gave Occidio a hug, holding him close, knowing that he needed it.
"It's only memories... you'll survive, you really will. Come on, you've done it. You've done all this before, and you're here. You're strong, and you're alive, and you need to wake up..."

Eros laughed as Minerva left, turned to Chastity and clicked his fingers.

An instant later, Chastity found herself looking out of the gates of heaven from inside it, and Eros was walking towards a grand palace filled with fountains and statues of people in erotic positions.
"Come on, then - or I'll just give the order. I need to introduce you to your new playmates, anyway..."

Occidio stood up, not knowing what to say, then created a portal, walking through to awaken, finding his mother standing above him. Before he can react, she hugs him tightly, nearly crushing him.

Far away, the Grimm Reaper laid defeated on the ground in his flesh form, as Genesis walked past him, and grabbed onto the final shadow blade.

Eros gave a chuckle, and clapped his hands.
Out of the palace came women, scantily clad, dressed in pale robes that were almost transparent, their eyes glazed over in a way that made them seem drugged.
"My harem of course... you'll be the crowning joy. You'll have so much fun with them all pleasing my every need..."
The women poured onto him, kissing him and licking him, and he just smirked and let them.
He raised an eyebrow at Chastity.
And then spoke clearly.

"Fire."

Down in the mortal world, the ship released a colossal beam of energy at the building Occidio, Minerva, and Mawthrough were in, obliterating it completely...

Mawthrough's eyes opened at the exact second the ship fired, and he spread his wings over the embracing mother and son and used all he had to hold it together as the world exploded around them.

Up in heaven, a portal to the real world opened next to Eros, and through it Chastity could see the beam completely annihilating the building. Eros chuckled.
"Whoops... must be a slip of the tongue..." He looked at Chastity and licked his lips in anticipation...

Mawthrough dropped the energy shield and straightened up, groaning, the building in tatters.
He coughed, blood leaking from his mouth at the sheer loss of energy in one burst, and looked at Minerva.
"Where's... Chastity, Minerva?"

Minerva was fuming with rage, "Eros has her..........she made a deal for your safety, and he just broke it.......he tried to kill us........and.......he just made the biggest mistake of his life........."

A tall man with black hair entered Eros' realm, his power rivaling Michael. He had similar features to Occidio, though his presence was far greater. He walked in nonchalantly, and sighed, "I told all the celestials, Occidio is off limits.......as is Minerva................"

"Oh, pshaw," Eros laughed at the angelic intruder.
"That beam wouldn't have even scratched them, beings of their power. It was designed to - excuse me..."

His own wings grew, he rose in the air, then he casually backhanded Chastity across the air and into a fountain, drenching her, quenching her flames.
"You didn't want me to do that... now I'll save kissing you until I've made you my woman first..."

Then he resumed his previous conversation.
"As I was saying, it was designed to kill the incubus. It was composed of heavenly energy, not a single drop of pain or harm to anything with angelic blood in it. But as Mawthrough was a pathetic hybrid of hell, it obliterated him completely and as such the worst Occidio and Minerva have to worry about is having his remains all over their clothes..."

Down in the ruins, Mawthrough had gone very, very quiet.
Then he stood up, horns twitching, the only indication that he was beyond angry - and afraid.
"That beam wasn't meant for you... I can feel it. Heavenly energy, designed to kill my kind... demons... pathetic, stupid demons..."
He turned to Minerva, and for an instant, it looked like he was going to hit her.
His voice was cold with fury.
"Can you open a portal to heaven's gates? If so, do so now, because I'm going to rip them down, take Chastity into my arms and never let her go, and then - oh, and then - I'm going to make Eros suffer beyond anything you can imagine. Even you, Minerva..."

Occidio coughed up blood. "Goddamit.........that fucker..........I'm gonna kill him for that.........."

Ezekiel continued to walk through the room, "That kind of attack could have harmed Occidio and Minerva, both have demon blood in them.....and Occidio is mortal at the moment.........you broke my decree............and so I shall let them have their vengeance......." He opened a portal to the realm, one that opened up near Mawthough.

Occidio and Minerva stood up, "Come on Mawthough, we're going through!!!"

Eros's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed Chastity out of the air, twisted her in front of him, and held her as a human shield as Occidio and Minerva came through.
"Well, that's hardly nice of you. Michael's not going to be too happy you messed with his plans..."

An instant later, Mawthrough came through and looked Eros in the eyes.
"I am. Going. To break you into pieces."
Eros rolled his eyes, rolled Chastity round and held her to his chest.
"Another step, and she stops loving you..."

Mawthrough froze and growled like an animal.
"Everybody stop... now..."

Ezekiel let out a sly smile, "I don't care what Michael wants, lead Arch Angel or not, he's losing grip, besides, my son can actually kill him if needed......and, the same goes for you, but I don't want you dead, I'd rather you get a beating from the demon hybrid, from the demon, that disgrace should be fun enough............"

Minerva readied her claws, plotting out targets of attack.

Occidio had a simple celestial blade at his side, but didn't move.

Nijuu smiled softly. "I'm grateful nonetheless." She retorted, noticing Tynan still glaring at her. "I'm afraid that Tynan may not let me do much else now." She giggled quietly, then looked at Tynan. "You'd think I was helpless up until now." She said to Tynan.
"Not helpless." Tynan corrected her.
Nijuu continued to smile as she said: "I am capable of caring for myself...I did have a life before you entered it."
"I'm aware of that." Tynan replied.
"Then please cease your glaring." Nijuu instructed, as she rose to her feet. "I am not made of glass, so please cease treating me as such."
Tynan sighed heavily. "As you wish." He said at length.
