Elfen High (IC)

James listened, amused, as Malakh described everything but their relationship. When the angel finally finished, James put on his most innocent face and said. "Malakh, sweetie, you forgot to mention us." He forced tears to well up in his eyes. "Don't you love me anymore?"

"Of course I love you James. It's not like they need to know anyways," Malakh said, as he kissed James.

James grabbed Malakh and forced him into an overly dramatic make-out. For the lulz.

Obama paused to stare at a secruity officer who was taking pictures with an IPhone. "Sorry." the man grumbled, putting his phone away. Cameron seemed weirded out by it, looking away. "Are you quite done?" asked Obama testily. "Yes? Good."

The President nodded at Crowley. "You run this school?" he asked. The mage nodded hesitantly. "I need to talk to you in private later." He turned back to the crowd in general. "Well, that was quite the story then." he said, his voice implying he was struggling to believe it. He sighed. "You have no idea the sheer amount of shit this will cause." he said, inserting in a swear word for the first time. "Religious extremists will become even worse, and we'll have to deal with a lot of stuff back home." He gave a hollow chuckle. "My own beliefs are a bit confused right now.

"Pakistan will be odd to deal with, considering Islamabad doesn't exist anymore. The rescue teams I'll have to organize all over the USA, and especially Chicago, and with our allies as well. The cost of this..."

The President of the United States grinned hollowly. "Quite the story indeed. I wish it was never told though."

[Hardened Pyrokinetics]

James gave a douchey smile. "Just blame it on terrorists like you always do. Now if you'll excuse me." And he went back to having an epic makeout session with Malakh.

[Nature-Spirits]

Baelvan approached the two men.
"Hello. I would like to say, on behalf of the Elvish community, that the Elves had no part in this except for a few of us, and our only roll was to help fight off the threat."
Leomaris also approached the men. "I am Leomaris Algesiar of the Second Merkingdom. On behalf of the five Merfolk kingdoms I would like to say that you should not fuck up our oceans or we'll retaliate." He smiled and withdrew.

Laz shot a small fireball over James and Malahk's heads. He really didn't like seeing that. Then he turned his attention back to the president.

"I don't give two damned souls about how fucked up this planet is now. Frankly, it isn't my problem. You can deal with these...religious extremists and what not on your own. Me? I've had enough of this planet and fighting what have you to last me til i turn 2000. I'm going home."

With that, he stomped out of the room, shooting another fireball over the makeout session for good measure.

[Hardened Pyrokinetics]

James, without stopping his makeout, caught the fireballs, merged them into one fireball, and shot it out at Laz' ass as he stomped away.

"What is this place?" Desmond asked one of the weird-clothed strangers. He merely pointed towards a hallway and went along his way, leaving Desmond to find out himself. After a considerable amount of walking, Desmond stumbled upon a massive door, leading to an imposing library. Thousands of books resided within this beacon of knowledge, bearing knowledge from all fields of wisdom and revealing secrets that had been long forgotten by the world. Immediately, Desmond was met by a man who was most likely the librarian of this imposing place, greeting him in a familiar tongue.

"Greetings, Desmond. You are the newest addition to our kind, the Babylonian Deities. I believe we owe you some explanation about this place."

Not even beginning to underline the understatement in that sentence, Desmond simply nodded and followed the man to a decorated table, crafted from a marble-like material, but light as wood. The man grabbed a nearby chair and offered it to Desmond before sitting down on one himself, crossing his arms as he was trying to recollect everything he had to tell this newcomer, for it had been quite some time that he had to do such a thing.

"We, Babylonian Deities, are not like the Norse or any other divine pantheon of God you might know of. We have been in existence for a very long time, longer that them, which offers both positive and negative traits. For one, we are not quite as refined as them, so our powers aren't quite as specialized. Still, we posses ancient powers that most Gods do not..."

"Wait...so how did you outlive the Egyptian Gods?"

"A dark chapter indeed. To put it simply: We fled, to this place. We survived and they perished..."

Later that day, Barack Obama, on live television, announced the existence of angels and other creatures outside of the earth. With heaven gone, most of the angels went to Heavengate, with a few rogues running around on Earth.

Religious groups rose up in protest, and for much time the world was rocked by violence, but eventually settled down. Eventually, the site of Islamabad became a site of pilgrimage for many religions.

Without Azazel, Hell became even more angel-phobic, ruled by many different demonic lords. L'Enfer and Alastor took over a portion, Lazrain may or may not have been one of their soldiers. Humanity also went into Hell, and colonized some parts, interested in the large amounts of resouces. The main colonizers were the USA, India, China, Russia, Britain and France.

Heavengate became the haven for the angels, now measuring two hundred and twenty million of them. It grew in size to accommodated for that, led by Lord Raphael, the sole remaining archangel who ruled it with an iron fist. Perhaps not iron, but some form of metal. James and Malakh lived in Heavengate, happily married, the first and so far only homosexual angelic marriage, the population still mainly homophobic. That doesn't change overnight. Malakh and Calliel became the advisors and second-in-commands to Raphael.

Elfen High continued and was rebuilt. It eventually became a place for people to master their magical talent, led by the mage and Principal, Aleister Crowley.

Damien went on to create a vampire hunting business in Vienna, after being inspired by his encounter with a vampire in Islamabad.

Michael and Gabriel were later reincarnated as Chinese lesbians named Yoko and Uni.

On Earth, supernational tensions increased as humans disliked the supernatural, and were disliked in turn. James became the UN Representative for the angels, being forced to explain the slavery of humans and demons, and the various other human and demon rights abuses going in Heavengate.

Pari became the UN ambassador for the Fairies, due to her knowledge of humans.

It is now 2029, a full eighteen years later.

Crowley is recovering from the hangover the last year, awaiting the new year of students. The new year begins tomorrow. He walks down the hallway, looking around. You couldn't tell that the school had ever been destroyed. He sits in a chair, looks around and smiles.

Calliel is in Heavengate, advising Raphael on how best to talk with the French govenor of the French Hell colony, who will be visiting soon.

And that's about it. As for what everyone else is doing right now...

Epilogue, Chapter I

Desmond spent his time within the Babylonian Sanctum, studying the history of his people and refining his abilities to gain more control over his powers. He spent most of his time behind ancient books that hadn't been opened for years, broadening his knowledge on numerous fields, including science and mythology.

As time progressed, he was no longer bound by his childish and playful nature and revealing his true potential, being a man of great wisdom and power.

Gaining more esteem within the ranks of the Babylonian Gods, Desmond became a great sage amongst his people, spreading the wisdom and knowledge he had garnered from his decades of studying, as time flowed much slower within the Sanctum. However, it was because of the knowledge he had gathered through his own experiences and travels throughout the world that he became so respected, spreading tales of earth to his people and inciting hope in the community of ancients Gods so that they might return home one day.

Thus, Desmond became a leader and a sage amongst his peers.

Pari, now 45, is a very fair and reasonable UN Ambassador for all of Fairy-kind. After the events from 18 years ago, several other hidden groups of Fey creatures from around Europe popped up. Though many of them were still reclusive, after a couple of years, they finally decided to band together and form their own tiny nation of roughly 300 in the heart of Germany's Black Forest where the largest of the Fey colonies had lived. It took almost half a decade for the negotiations to give the Fey the land and officially recognize them as a nation, but the EU eventually made Germany comply, forming the new nation of Siógtalamh for the fairies.

Building up an economy on the exportation of various magical objects to the rest of Europe, the fairies of Siógtalamh soon became an economic powerhouse with the high demand for such goods and their near-monopoly on the production of them, at least in western Europe. Through all this, they also became a strong voice in area of environmentalism, donating billions each year to the cause of cleaning and protecting the planet while also refusing to trade with any nation they deemed to have too poor of environmental policies.

To this day, most humans hate or at least distrust Siógtalamh, even within the EU, due to their supernatural nature and their monopoly of magical goods, though there's not much that can be done about it. Several times, the EU has tried to force them to break up their monopoly only to utterly fail due to the fact that humans just didn't have the capacity to make such goods. Siógtalamh has, however, become very popular with conspiracy theorists, essentially placing them in the position of "new secret ruler of the world" in place of the Jews.

Victoria, despite playing a key role in saving the world, was still rather unknown to the humans. All they really knew about her was that she was a goddess of some kind with psychic powers. The Christians immediately declared her the worst being in the history of the universe for being the one to "single-handedly" destroy Heaven, even placing her right up there with Satan, himself. Many rumors were about about her, saying such things as her being the daughter of Satan, the wife of Satan, the mother of Satan, or all three combined. The name "Victoria" immediately dropped in popularity among baby names, being forever associated with the destruction of eternal bliss.

She did, however, get a few fans among the Goth and Emo crowd, along with militant atheists and other anti-Christians who declared her an "unloved hero." For a while, there was also an internet meme going around for a while about her being the world's ultimate troll. "i'm in ur heavens, creating a black hole. trololololololol!" Some even started a religion around her, "Victorism," though it never gained any mass appeal and died out within months.

Through all this, Victoria, herself, completely ignored all of it, not caring one iota about the humans or what they said about her, though she was briefly bemused that they had started a religion about her. She spent the entirety of the 18 years locked in her dimension, studying. Occasionally, she'd descend to Earth to acquire books for her personal library that she constructed her dimension, though it was rare. After cleaning out the Élan sanctuary, there were only a few books she didn't have. It was common enough, however, for there to be an acknowledgment of books mysteriously disappearing from libraries around the world, most attributing it to ghosts of some sort.

As for the Élan sanctuary, it remained a secret from the world until being discovered by archaeologists in early 2028. With the Élan gone, the psionic protections that once kept it safe from unwanted eyes slowly dissipated, allowing it to be found. Its discovery baffled the scientific community who dated the structure to around 3,500 BC but couldn't understand why there was evidence of it having been lived in not even twenty years ago, including a mass grave with relatively-fresh bodies, and with the library picked clean, they were unable to get the full story about it. There have been many hypotheses, but nothing conclusive.

Yuzuki eventually got bored with Earth and traveled occasionally between Heavensgate, Hell and Earth. Eventually, however, she returned to Earth to get a doctorate in human psychology. She now teaches it at Elfen High, as her stint at being a therapist failed (predictably).

A nue who loves nothing more than to torment the human mind teaching psychology. Now that's scary.

James could say he led a happy life with Malakh. He could say he respected Raphael. James could say a lot of things. Whether they were true or not didn't matter.

First, his parents had disapproved of his relationship with Malakh, mostly because Raphael, despite everything that had happened 18 years ago, was still a massive bigot. It became harder and harder to get him to listen and to understand that his discriminatory policies regarding non-angels was making him look like a horrible person. Calliel and Malakh tried to help, but Raphael would just not listen. In the UN, James was constantly bombarded with bigoted views by his fellow humans, particularly the fundamentalists of the Middle East, which just made his job that much worse. Finally he had enough of it. In the middle of the night, while Malakh slept soundly, James packed up his things and left for Siógtalamh. He left a note telling Malakh it was just a temporary vacation, and that he'd be back.

The Archer was an adventurer. He loved the thrill of adventuring. Which is probably what drove him to join Alastor and L'Enfer. While originally treated like trash for being a "mere human", he had constantly proven himself in battle and on the training grounds. Now, while still at the bottom, he was at least respected.

[New East Ireland]

Malakh supported James, even through the toughest times. But when James disappeared, Malakh had no one to support him. He fell into a depression, which eventually became so bad that he would never leave the house. Despite encouragement from his uncle Raphael and his best friend Damien, Malakh would never accept another lover. Eventually, after two years without his James, who was believed to be dead, Malakh left Heavengate, vowing never to return.

His current whereabouts are unknown.

Damien continued on to open a vampire hunting business centered in Vienna, Austria. He learned extensive knowledge of vampires, and became known as one of the best vampire hunters in the entire world.

[Ameriganastan]

Lazrian returned to Hell, just as he said he would, and assisted L'Enfer and Alastor in taking over a portion of it as a soldier. He himself however found ruling boring and simply returned to the regular forces of Hell armies. Has risen quite a ways in the time since then, and currently holds the rank of Major. Resides in a quaint home in western hell, along with a wife and two little hell spawn daughters.
