In contrast to Mao’s situation, Bella’s demons wait for the perfect opportunity to attack instead of rushing her. Bella hasn’t transformed her flaming silver arms back to normal not only because she still feels like she’s in danger, but it’s also because she hasn’t felt this much power and strength since she was a queen. It gives her a strange feeling in her body, unlike anything she’s felt before. A feeling that she ignores for the most part.
The demons notice oddities happening in her body and get an idea. They attack her one by one from the shadows without trying to do damage and retreating after one attack. Bella uses her new powers on them but never manages to land a hit.
“Afraid to get hit by a girl?” Bella smugly asks.
Her rage builds, and her shins and feet turn into the same flaming silver as her hands. Part of her skirt burns away, but not all of it.
“You’re going to pay for making me this way!” Bella says as she goes after the demons.
They are now actively attacking Bella with several of their attacks landing and cutting off the middle part of Bella’s dress.
“My dress!”
Her anger builds, and she focuses it so that she gets another power that gives her enhanced sight in one eye. Now she’s able to punches and kicks the demons into mush in an instant. She takes out at least ten of them before they stop coming.
The devil then appears to her in human form and says, “Bella, Mao isn’t worth your love and affection. I have all the power and attention you crave. Allow me to show it to you.”
Satan touches Bella’s face and she sees what she could have. All the kingdoms on earth could be hers. The people, their love, and their sex are on offer and all she has to do is say yes. She wouldn’t have to try to be a good person anymore. People would praise her for doing nothing for anyone while spewing what she believes is right. Bella smiles as this vision is given to her, but then a flashback interrupts it. A flashback of Mao’s reign as a tyrant and her part in making him into a good person. She never put her needs first back then even though she constantly thought about it as his queen. Her main goal was the protection of innocent people which is still what she strives for.
“I don’t know if I could ever thank you enough, Bella,” Mao said as an old man, “You saved me. You helped this old devil become a good man and you saved so many lives that would’ve been killed without your intervention. I love you so much, my queen. My jewel.”
“Bella!” the Mao in the present screams as he takes care of the last demons that were attacking him.
Bella snaps out of the devil’s trance and punches him away from her and into one of the many thick trees. Satan’s touch has burned half of Bella’s face and her left eye is now completely red. Mao reunites with Bella, but she recognizes how she looks right now and pushes him away.
“I’m sorry I fell to temptation,” she says, “I’m not the same beautiful wife you loved. Just look at me.”
“Bella,” Mao says as he holds her hands in his human form, “Your beauty wasn’t the most important of you. I didn’t even care when you act hypocritically every now and then. Your flaws, your mistakes, and your looks don’t matter to me. I love all of you and I always will.”
The couple kisses before Satan dislodges himself from the large tree and readies himself to fight them. Mao’s effect on Bella has given her a pair of sharp golden wings. Mao and Bella then smile at each other before Mao transforms to fight the devil. They come at him with their combined force and overwhelm him. Even though he hits them directly a few times, they get up and continue their assault which ends in one final punch by the both of them. Satan’s human body starts to rapidly decay and sink into the earth along with his entire force of demons that came along with him and the forest, which was also a being.
Mao and Bella are now by themselves in a garden that is so beautiful that you could call it Eden.
God comes to them and says, “You’ve done your part in this world. There’s no longer any need for you to be here. I have other sons and daughters here that will carry out my will and more of my children will come to aid them.”
“You’re firing us is what you’re saying?” Mao asks.
“Hahaha. In a way, yes. You’ve earned your rewards in heaven several times over especially you Mao. Don’t think I forgot about you, Bella.”
Bella asks, “But will I be accepted like this?”
“Of course you will. You don’t think Mao accepting you as you are was his original idea, do you?”
Both God and Bella laugh, but Mao just sheepishly smiles. God stretches His hands towards them and they ascend body and soul into Heaven. Their long journey is over now. A journey full of suffering, blood, and death, but also a journey full of love, saving, and redemption.
If a tyrant and his queen could change themselves and the world, then what’s stopping the everyday man or woman in doing the same? God blesses everyone with gifts that can change the world. All you have to do is accept it and you will be His child. The journey will be tougher than living a normal life as the devil will be after you, but it will be worth it. And you will be making a positive difference in the world that you could not accomplish on your own.
Fiat mihi secundum verbum (Be it done unto me according to Thy Word)
Fin (The End)
