Vishnu

The panel it's switched. Everyone is waiting for Claude to exit the Council room.

Newton: Do you think that he is fine?
Mozart: Yeah...we shouldn't worry too much.*
Suleyman: I assume that they are here only to talk, right?
Henry: Let's hope so...otherwise...
Leonardo: Otherwise we will all die.
Houdini: Anyway...Claude must know what he is doing...
Darwin: He knows.
Max: Let's hope so...or it will be just like Leonardo said.
Robert: We will not die. Claude will do anything he can to protect us.
Arinasa remains silent, simply waiting for his return.
Suddenly Claude opens the giant doors and steps out.
Robert approaches him.
Robert: Claude...what happend? Why are the Beyonders here?
Claude: They were here to warn me about something.*
Robert: About what?
Claude suddenly changes his whole atitude. From a warm one he goes cold towards Robert.
Claude: It's none of your bussines.*
Robert surprised makes a step back.
Robert: What are you talking about?
Claude: I'm sorry, Robert. But you are no longer of use to me.
Robert confused: What do you mean?
Arinasa suddenly makes a step ahead angry: What the fuck is going on, Claude? First you vanish yourself for two years, and now you treat us like this?
Claude with piercing eyes: You don't understand...don't you...i never intended to bring down the gods. My plan was to regain the control over the Celest City. And i just used all of you as a diversion. A diversion to keep the Celestials's eyes off me and on you. A diversion that would allow me to be recognized once again as the leader.
Arinasa shocked: Are you saying...that...
Claude: Yes. I lied to all of you. And now...i have no further use for any of you.*
Leonardo: This cannot be true.
Claude: I'm sorry Leonardo...but it's true. Now...you know what happens with those that i have no use for? They die.
Robert remains paralyzed hearing this. Claude just destroyed his world. But the humans are the ones that take action first.
Mozart: Kill us? After everything that we went through?
Claude suddenly summons his sword and charges with electricity.
Claude: Exactly...
He starts walking towards them. Just at that moment, Darwin takes out his revolver and fires all the six Radium bullets at Claude. The latter deflects each bullet with his sword. Robert is still in shock.*
Darwin shouts: Everyone! Go at him with everything you got!
Houdini claps his palms and summons tight ropes that envelop around Claude. But he breaks them with ease. At the same moment Leonardo and Amadeus starts shooting bullets at him. He deflects the all. Darwin grabs Robert's shoulder.
Darwin shouts: Come on Robert! Open the fucking gate to Earth!
Robert is still confused and Darwin starts shaking him.
Arinasa is crying but when she sees Claude, she finds her courage and claps her hands.
Arinasa shouts: AQUA! LANCEA!!!
She starts throwing spears of high pressurised water at Claude. He quickly charges electricity through his sword and cuts through the spears. Robert is still shocked.
Arinasa: Aqua! Unda!!!
From nowhere a giant tsunami appears and hits Claude, pushing him back. Arinasa uses the momentum and goes near Robert.
Arinasa: ROBERT! Deal with this later! Now, get us out of here!
Robert regains his senses and claps his hands.
Robert:*Sigillanda! Terra! Portas aperire!!!
From the ground a giant majestic gate appears. Robert opens it and looks at the group.
Robert: Go ahead. I will handle Claude, myself.
Arinasa: I don't think so!
She claps her hands.
Arinasa: Aqua! Sphaera!
A sphere of water appears around Robert, trapping him. He is heard shouting, but Arinasa pushes him through the portal. The rest of the group jumps in, Arinasa being the last one. Before she takes the leap she looks at Claude. He just escaped from the wave. She looks into his eyes. She sees only sadness and sorrow. For a moment she is confused. She is oscilating between going with the group or staying behind. She feels that something is not right.*
Claude with a sad voice: Fulgur...Ultimum chorea!
His sword becames enveloped entirely in electricity. He dashes towards Arinasa. Just when he is moments away from slashing her, she finally releases her Azymus shaped as a weapon. An elongated, curved blade appears in her hand. A sword that has a white hilt and the blade itself it's white.
Arinasa finally understanding her power, charges her sword with her Azymus. The white blade starts glowing.
Arinasa: Venus...release!!!
She clashes her sword with Claude's, creating a giant blast. For a brief moment she spots his expression. A mixture of sadness, surprise, and what's the most disturbing: he is proud of her. His love of her can be seen in his eyes. And yet, he is attacking her. Something doesn't feel right.
Claude pushes her back, and throws her into the portal. She falls into it, without managing to understand his behaviour. She sees him smiling, as the portal takes her away from the Celest City.

The scene shows Earth. Every member of the group is on the ground somewhere in a field.

Leonardo: Did....Claude just betrayed us?
Darwin quickly regaining his cold blood: It seems so.
Robert: I don't understand...what happend...why? What were we to him?
Suleyman: I'm sorry my friend...but it seems that we were mere pawns.*
Max: I cannot belive what i just saw.
Newton: It's...it's...i do not have words to describe what just happend...
Henry: He betrayed us...he used us...he tricked us...
Houdini: To think that he was only after power...
Mozart: And now what?
Arinasa suddenly gets up and with a determined look on her face talks to the group.
Arinasa menacing: I will tell you what happens now. We prepare ourselves. And we will crush him and the Celest City. That's what's going to happen!

The panel it's switched. It shows the Celest City. It's night. The top tower, gets striked by several lightnings. The scene shows Vishnu standing at the top of the tower. He is sitting down right on the edge with his legs balancing above the Celest City. Lightnings are striking around him.*

Claude while tears rolls down his cheeks: I'm sorry everyone...i'm sorry...but it had to be done...you will all understand soon...i'm sorry...
Suddenly Krishna, the leader of the Blue Guard lands near him.
Krishna: Lord Vishnu. What are your orders?
Vishnu without looking at him: Prepare the City's defences. Mobilize every warrior that we have. Prepare our full power.
Krishna: Can i ask what happend?
Claude: Michael...released a seal before he died. A sealed that should have been locked.*
Krishna: What seal, my lord?
Claude: The seal to the gates of hell. He freed Lucifer...
Krishna shocked: Lucifer?!?
Claude finally gets up and turns around. His eyes are yellow, with a three lightnings around a black iris.
Claude with a menacing gaze: Aye...and we will put him down once again!
He turns around and looks at the horizont.
Claude: I'm sorry everyone...but the truth...must remain hidden for the moment!

The end.
