As Javal swings his sword at Danae’s shoulder he is surprised to see her duck and avoid his attack completely. He was even more surprised to see her aim a blow to his kidney. Normally he’d be down to tank due to his armor but that was not an option right now and he’d like to survive this battle a little longer. He barely had enough time to cast a single spell, the only thing he could think of was to not get hit.
Suddenly just seconds before Danae hits him his entire body liquifies (1) into the water and spills to the floor his form changes into the shape of a snake who slithers on the ground and back to his previous point in the battle.
His water serpent form then jumps into the air and reforms back into his regular form he stands for a bit trying to gain his breath, “I think that’s the first time I’ve tried that, that’s a odd feeling”.
He shifts his focus back to the fight and says, “Let’s try that one more time”, and charges back at Danae however with a different strategy in mind.
He slams both of his feet into the floor and they are suddenly coated with ice (2) giving him increased speed he then sprints towards Danae and attempts another attack saying, “Javal Style: Slash (3)”.

Theres quite a few things that Danae is learning in this fight. First of all, Javal is an incredibly aggressive combatant, someone to hit something until it stops moving. While that can be a good way about doing this, it's perhaps not the best against somebody who does the exact same thing. Maybe it's time to ramp up the pressure.
As her foot hits nothing but water, Danae is momentarily impressed. Very good way to counteract that. However he's still seeing this as a friendly spar, and while that is the case, he should be seeing it as actual combat. For this is a time to practice and improve.
As Javal reforms, Danae pushes her offensive, charging forward and leaving no quarter. For someone like Javal, it is perhaps normal for him to meet somebody on his own terms. Danae is curious as to how he'll keep up with someone coming at him, instead. Meeting Javal as he begins his own charge, she heads her own push by pointing her halberd forward, aiming the spearhead directly at Javal and thrusting forward, utilizing his own increased momentum against him.
Javal has made his own attack, as well. Now that Danae has sadly overextended herself, she has no choice but to take this attack. She is happy with this outcome, except that doesn't happen. As Javal's blade swings downward, a translucent woman appears1.
Frankly, the woman is stunning. Long brown hair, emerald green eyes and a face structure that looks to belong to a warrior. As she appears, she is holding her own katana, raised and prepared to block Javal's oncoming attack. The blades collide, ringing out in a metallic clash that can only belong to something like this.
"You're being hasty, my dear." The woman addresses Javal in a soft, sweet voice. With that, she vanishes, but an odd feeling saying that she will be back can't exactly escape ones mind.
Danae herself? She looks taken aback by the womans appearance, but also renewed with even more vigor. She morphs her thrust into a slice and pushes her offensive. As her swing concludes, she continues the halberds momentum, hoping to give Java a good whack across the jaw with the shaft of her weapon.

Javal is completely caught off guard as he sees his katana slash being repelled by some sort of strange warrior spirit surrounding Danae, herself armed with her very own katana.
“Who is that?”, he stutters in amazement as she disappears, “No it can’t be”, he says with a confused look, he has no time to react to Danae’s attack and as a result as he is still moving forward he suddenly is hit by the shaft of Danae’s weapon and feels a large sharp pain in his jaw.
“Crap I let myself get distracted”, he says taking the brunt of the shaft’s blow he quickly touches the weapon with his free hand coating it with cold energy (1) hoping its decreased attack would help him in the battle.
Javal coughs blood and grits his teeth charging once more with his blade although with a smirk on his face as he nears Danae once more he holds his katana in one hand and holds his other hand in his jacket.
As he continues charging and nears Danae he takes out his other hand from his pocket and sends a small cloud of snowballs (2) over his opponent he slashes Danae once more (1) at first hoping his attack would hit with the distraction.

With the hit across the jaw connecting, she is about to push harder, her will steeled and resolve certain. She isn't expecting what Javal has in store, however.
First, he throws snow into her face. Where he got snow in the desert is beyond her, but nevertheless, it works. The snow distracts her for just long enough for Javal's slash to connect, running a nasty cut across her chest. Danae takes a step back, quickly assesses the damage and deems it not sufficient to warrant a surrender. With Javal's first proper connected strike, Danae smiles.
She charges back in, cautious but deadset on putting Javal on the backfoot. With her experience with her Halberd, she's learnt quite a few.. non-traditional tactics. As she pushes forward, instead of taking a swing, she plants the spearhead into the ground and uses it to push herself off the ground like a pole-jumper, and by utilizing her upper body strength, she holds herself up long enough to essentially dropkick Javal without the dropping part.
It appears that Javal was unprepared for this and, the momentum that was behind Danae, on top of her strength and weight seems to be slightly too much for Javal to keep balance from and is thrown to the ground. However, Javal was not entirely unprepared. With a quick tap on Danae as he goes down[1], Danae suddenly stops falling. And with a flick of Javal's wrist, a wall of ice appears under Danae[2], pushing her upward.
Reacting quickly, Danae swings her halberd at the ice wall, holding the end of the shaft. The blade digs deep into the ice, catching and providing her a way to descend without having to wait for the first spell to wear off. She yanks herself downward, prying her halberd back out before swinging it down with great force, the blade crashing into the hot sand mere inches away from Javal's head. Sand flies into the air, landing around them both.
It takes a hot second, but the first spell wears off and Danae's feet touch the ground again, Danae panting but with a great smile across her face. "Do you yield?" She asks. The translucent woman appears again and kneels down to Javal, looking at him sweetly.
"She's a determined angel, this one. You fought very well, I'd say."
Danae looks at the woman, who looks back at her with a warm smile. She stands up, walks to Danae before planting a gentle kiss to her cheek before walking away, vanishing once more.
Despite Danae's seeming nonchalant attitude, it doesn't take a genius to see that Danae is suddenly at risk of crumbling for some reason. There is a look in her eye that is an odd mix of happiness and fear. Danae is trying her best to not let it show, however.

Javal smiles widely as he sees that his blow landed on Danae making it his first successful attack so far. Javal gets ready to block a retaliation attack from Danae using his katana and braces himself for a halberd strike. He is completely caught off guard as he sees Danae plant her halberd into the ground and launch herself straight at Javal with a fierce kick.
Javal is quickly dropped to the ground and feels a sharp pain in his chest. He looks down and notices an already forming bruise, “That’s gonna hurt in the morning”, he thinks.
He was about to jump back up seeing his counterattack worked before suddenly seeing Danae’s halberd next to his head.
As Danae swings the blade into the floor some sand gets in Javals mouth he coughs loudly and swallows it, “Delicious” he says as he tries getting back up.
He coughs up a combination of sand and blood and gets up. He smiles about to shake Danae’s hand and surrender seeing as Danae is leagues ahead of him in terms of experience and skill. Suddenly Javal hears a loud whoosh behind and feels hands on his shoulder, he turns back and is surprised to see a familiar face draped in a white robe, it’s his celestial patron, Uriel.
She smiles at him and whispers in his ear, “Do not give up so easily my chosen you still have so much to show her. Show her that I did not choose wrong in my champion, give it everything you have”.
She then smirks over at Dane and winks at her before suddenly filling her champion with her healing power (1).
She then disappears into the air and leaves the two back in their previous battle.
“She’s right, I have to truly give this my all I won’t give up until I’ve truly been beat”.
He then touches his abdomen and activates his tattoo summoning another pair of arms at his side.
He arms himself with a lightning spear, and his katana, he holds his other two hands-free and charges forth at Danae.
He throws the lightning spear (2) directly at Danae’s chest and charges even quicker still using the power of his magically enhanced feet (3) to go for another katana slash aiming at Danae's chest hoping that the lightning spear manages to hit or provide a distraction for his attack.

The sudden appearance of Uriel catches Danae off guard, but she is also not at all surprised. "Oh, you sly sonofabitch, Uriel." Danae says with a smile, getting a wink in response before the Archangel vanishes again. Danae backs up, readying herself.
Activation of a graft, pulling out a spear and promptly hurling it at Danae was mildly surprising, but in the end, somewhat easy to deal with now thanks to a certain someone. The woman appears again, inserting herself into the path of the spear and swinging upward, causing the spear to enter a vertical spin and land in the sand head first[1].
Truthfully, no matter the result of this battle, Danae will believe that Uriel chose correctly. Javal may be hasty and most definitely needs some work, but he's got the determination to make it. Danae is kind of hoping he wins. That's not to say Danae is going to go easy, oh no no, Danae is going to give Javal the beating of his life and show him exactly what an Arch Angel can do, fallen or not.
This does mean she'll play dirty, however. Bending her own rules a little bit, she fires off a Purity Bolt into the sand beneath Javal, kicking up sand and newly-cooked glass into the air and promptly into the face of the charging Javal. Next, she meets Javal half way, swinging upward with her halberd hoping to rake across Javal to punish his charge.
Twisting with the upward motion of the halberd, she turns her back for a split second before planting her boot into Javals chest again and following through with a swing. Lugging around such a heavy weapon can be seen as tedious and over the top, but Danae has found that there is a lot of utility in swinging around such a heavy weapon.
First of all, using the weight for her advantage makes it easier for her to bypass blocks through brute force alone, the adamantine head pushing almost every obstacle in it's path. Secondly, it's weight acts as a good counterbalance to Danae's own, allowing her to do wild shit like acting as if her weapon was a pole and putting her entire weight onto the weapon to 'dropkick' somebody, and promptly swinging it into the ground as Danae falls.
There is utility in everything, and Danae has long since learnt the vast majority of tricks and tactics such a weapon grants her.
Danae continues grinning widely as she has the best damn time she's had in a good while. Seeing Uriel again, no matter how brief was also rather nice. This also proves to Uriel that Danae has not begun to fall down the hill of expertise when it comes to combat. So both Javal and Danae are showing off to Uriel. Isn't that ironic?

Javal is astonished but also really excited to see that warrior woman surrounding Danae again. He is bummed to see that his lightning spear was blocked and landed on the sand across from their battle as he continues to charge forth with his katana.
Javal swallows the sand that Danae kicked up, “Delicious” he yells once more although feeling some of the kicked-up glass make small cuts across his chin and neck. He simply braces himself and continues to rush through not caring about the damage he has received so far.
He proudly takes the halberd strike across his chest and smirks, completely astounded by Danae’s ability. He quickly casts the only defensive spell he could think of as Danae did some sort of strange turn around expecting it to be a feint he casts Glacial Wall (1) and suddenly a large ice wall comes in between Javal and Danae.
He stands back up and smirks expecting Dane to do that halberd strike crushing the ice wall like she did before he lifts his second right hand that's glowing with green light. Suddenly Danae is trapped in a three-room (2) house.
Javal then lifts his hand and summons his lightning spear (3) at him for him to throw straight through the newly made house hoping to hit Danae.

Javal's cries of sand and glass being 'delicious' frankly confuse Danae, as she can't quite pinpoint if he's being sarcastic or not. She is 90% sure he's being sarcastic, but she has seen weirder crap over the years.
With her upward strike successful, she attempts her follow through, to where her foot meets ice. A good play by Javal, Danae has to admit. To add to her surprise, she gets completely sectioned off and isolated. For now, she decides to wait. Which, unfortunately for her, was the wrong move.
Piercing through the wall of ice is an oh-so familiar lightning spear.
Danae loses track of time. Moments, seconds and minutes blur, becoming indistinguishable from one another. At some point between Javal throwing the spear and now, it's managed to fly into Danae's stomach, gliding through skin, muscle and organ alike with ease, coming to a halt in Danae.
The ice wall crumbles, and Javal sees Danae fallen to a knee, the long spear stuck in Danae, a massive amount of blood pouring out from the opposite end of the spear and blood being coughed up. The sight isn't pretty as her hands linger around the shaft of the weapon, her own halberd long since fallen in the sand next to her.
Danae coughs, spitting up more blood that ends up coating her lips and chin. Despite everything, she hasn't stopped smiling.
"Ow." She says weakly. She chuckles lightly, wincing slightly before looking over her shoulder, seeing the spearhead, dripping with blood. "I don't know if she will be more pissed at me or you," She mumbles quietly to herself.

Javal braces himself holding all four of his arms in a defensive formation to block Danae’s expected retaliation attack. This woman was crazy strong. Everything that Javal had thrown at her had completely bounced back and left him in an even worse position than when he started. He wasn’t used to being on the defensive and having to counteract his opponent's offensive moves. This made him impatient and acted more reckless; every halberd slash and attack from Danae just stoked Javal’s inner battle hunger. Slowly throughout the battle his desire to win and prove himself as Uriel’s champion control him more and more with every move.
He waited for a second expecting to feel the brunt of Danae’s foot or her halberd’s power but as he glanced over to the other side of the wall he made. His eyes and heart sink to the floor as he sees Danae on the floor holding her wound caused by his very own lightning spear, “Noooooooo, nooooo what have I done, what have I done? Nooooo”, he runs over to Danae’s side starting to tear up, “I’m so sorry I thought you would have retaliated as you had before”.
Javal begins tearing up more and more before saying, “Please I can fix this, I can heal you”.
He then holds his hand out summoning a small water bubble (1) and he then touches Danae’s wound with it causing it to heal slightly stopping the bleeding at least.
Suddenly behind Javal appears a smirking Uriel, “I told you he was tough, he just needed a little extra push”. She then touches Danae’s wound filling her with her healing power as suddenly her wound is completely healed (2).

"Nono, don't you start crying on me, man. I've lived through worse shit." Danae laughs and winces again, and like a complete lunatic, grabs a hold of the spear imbedded in her and begins pushing it through her. It's an agonizing process, and not at all fun to watch, but it's over quickly enough as the weapon falls to the sand. The water bubble stops the bleeding, and Danae takes a moment to breathe.
"That, was a really good throw, very nicely done." She says between breaths, smiling widely. She's about to hit herself with a healing spell before Uriel beats her to it. Danae gasps as her wounds knit closed, and pink flesh that once housed the spear is very quickly covered by tattoos reclaiming their righteous home on her skin.
Seeing the true extent of her tattoos through her cut up clothing isn't difficult. Her skin looks completely black in some places, only a select few areas showing even a hint of white skin underneath the rippling tattoos that seem to almost flow over her skin like water.
Danae's concern still lies with Javal, however. While only mildly wounded, he doesn't seem to be doing very good emotionally. Danae straightens herself out and places her hands on Javal's shoulders, looking at him in his eyes. Danae's piercing blue eyes almost feel like they see into Javal's very soul, but yet it doesn't feel intrusive. Almost calming, somehow. "Breathe. I'm perfectly fine now. You fought brilliantly. Rough around the edges, sure, but you did better than I thought you would. Here,"
Danae reaches into a pocket and pulls out a small, clean cloth and hands it to Javal. "Here, clean yourself up." Danae smiles warmly before standing up, moving to be in front of Uriel who is a couple inches taller than Danae. An odd feeling, but a familiar one.
"Four hundred and thirty years, Uriel. Four hundred and thirty years and this is how we reunite. My lord, that's hysterical. You healing my ass after your chosen fucking impales me." Danae laughs at just how unsurprised Danae is. She takes a deep breath before smiling kindly to the Archangel. "It's good to see you again, truly. I don't think Jalkrieth will be all to pleased to find out you've found me. Is he still a pompous prick?"
Jalkrieth is the Archangel that spearheaded Danae's divine punishment. Danae has held resentment for the man since even before her rebellion against Solaris and the light domain, and is the primary reason why she rebelled. A dark time in her life. Despite that, Uriel always seemed to remain on her side, even if she fought against her during her rebellion. She was there when her wings were taken and when her weapon was used to remove them, and during it all, held a telepathic link to Danae, supporting her.
She owes a lot to Uriel. A fact she will never forget.
Suddenly, the translucent woman appears again, and opens up by smacking Danae on the shoulder repeatedly. It doesn't hurt, per-se, but the feeling is there and her mind is largely filling the gaps on what should be happening.
"You fucking moron! You could have died, and I would have done all this for nothing! Be more careful you dumbass!" The woman practically yells at Danae, continuing to smack-not-smack her. Danae, nevertheless, retreats from the smacks faster than she did ever in the combat with Javal.
"Ow! Hey it's not like - Stop it! It's not like I could see he was about to skewer me!"
"You should've known!"
"What?? I- Quit it! Agh, please, quit it, I'm sorry!"

Javal struggles to even let out a small chuckle before continuing to tear up as he finishes Danae’s wound as much as he can.
Javal can’t even bear to look at Danae as she takes his spear out of her and his weapon falls to the sand.
Javal stays silent and doesn't even look at Danae, preferring to look at his spear that caused this mess before shifting his gaze to the sand itself.
Javal reels back as Danae places her hands on his shoulders before finally letting himself look at her straight in the eyes, her piercing blue eyes. As Danae looks closer into Javal’s soul she may see someone or something else looking back at her alongside Javal.
Javal tries to breathe in and out and calm himself trying to take in Danae’s words and clean his eyes with her cloth.
Uriel herself seems to be in good spirits as she laughs lightly, “Sorry sister I’ve been a little busy in heaven as well as not picking a champion for a very long time ever since him at least. Heaven has been chaotic for the past hundred or so years since you left, especially with the god's death. We’ve been running around like a chicken without a head. Raphael has been in the library for centuries at this point refusing to let it just be while Michael and Jalkrieth have been pining to place themselves at the top of the hierarchy with Michael aiming to be a new god and Jalkrieth the butt-kissing snake he is following his orders like a damn dog”.
After Javal has calmed himself he gets up and walks over to Danielle and Danae and bows all the way planting his head in the sand, “I’m so so sorry Danae I promise to make it up to you in whatever I can".
He then moves his head in the sand to face Danielle and says, “I am so sorry Danielle for hurting Danae the way I did. I shall do anything I can to repent for my actions”.

Looking into Javal's eyes was largely a way to recenter him, but she was slightly taken aback when she almost felt like she wasn't looking at only one person. Her eyebrows furrow ever so slightly as she keeps a mental note to ask about it later. Perhaps Danae is simply seeing things after being skewered, who knows. She turns to Uriel, still milling over what she saw.
"I am so very not surprised by any of that. I am surprised that you decided to take a chosen, though. Good choice." Danae says, smiling before the onslaught by Danielle.
It goes on for a few minutes, with Danielle scolding Danae endlessly, only halting completely in it's tracks as Javal kneels and profusely apologizes. Both Danae and Danielle are stunned into silence before they both turn to look at one another, then back down to Javal.
Danae, not overly comfortable with the whole bowing thing, kneels down and just grabs Javal by the shoulders, standing him up and dusting him off, all before lightly smacking both cheeks and flicking him on the forehead in quick succession. "First of all, don't bow like that, I'm not in any way superior to you, nor am I a celestial anymore. Second, I've already forgiven you, and you don't need to apologize. Lastly, lets just get introductions out of the way: Javal, this is Danielle, Danielle, this is Javal. I would say you should shake hands but.. There's a slight incorporeal problem. Kinda."
"You can make it up to me by never bowing to me again, that is awful."
"Seconded. I'm also not too pleased you impaled my wife with a spear, but she doesn't seem hurt anymore so.. No hard feelings."
Bowing was never something that Danae enjoyed, being the one to bow or the one being bowed to. It always felt mildly demeaning either way somehow. Suddenly, Danae has a thought and stops for a moment to think. She turns to Uriel, and in fluent Celestial, asks a question she's been wondering for some time.
"Uriel, what happens when I achieve redemption? Am I given a choice to remain or return, or is that choice made for me?"

Uriel nods in response to Danae’s remark and starts chuckling holding her hand to her mouth trying not to stop her laughter from rising as she sees Danielle scold Danae.
Javal is surprised to see Danae stops him from bowing, hit him, and let out an “Ow that hurt, I deserve that”.
Javal listens intently as Danielle and Danae just want to move on, “Once again I’m sorry I should’ve been more careful. In the future I shall keep this in mind when fighting other friends. Can we just move on and act like everything was before?”.
Javal then waves at Daniella and attempts to shake her hand before finding out that she is indeed incorporeal and just phases through.
He then turns to face his benefactor Uriel who seems to be speaking with Danae in another language.
Uriel responds to Danae’s question by saying, “That choice is yours, darling. Once you receive your redemption you can do what you want whether that be stay here or return to heaven with the rest of us. We’ve seen that us archangels can do both, seeing as our brother Gabriel does that all the time, that gluttonous fool”.

"Mhm, yes you do." Danae confirms, smiling. She chuckles as Javal asks to return to how things used to be, very amused by the insinuation.
"You're acting like you did something that will never make me look at you the same again, big fella. It's in the past, I don't give a damn. You think someone like me calls it quits when she gets impaled? Nah, that would be a shitty way for me to go."
Danielle chuckles as Javal tries to shake her hand, finding out for himself that you can't really interact with spirits. "That is such a weird feeling. Bleh."
As Danae and Uriel start conversing, Danae looks conflicted as the answer she's given. It's exactly what she wanted to hear, but mortality is a scary subject now that she's faced with the choice. She takes a moment to respond, speaking hesitantly once she does.
"I'm.. I don't think I want to go back, Uriel. I mean, come on, Jally-boy will want my head the second I return, and who knows, a few eras into the future, I might incite yet another rebellion, and curse myself to this shit again.
"I've been thinking on this for a long while, and honestly? I think I just want to move on. Once I get my skin cleared, it's donezo for me with anything angelic. I hated seeing Danielle grow old without me, and I hated burying her. I think I don't want to go out in a blaze. A quiet life and a quiet death, I think is best."
"So yeah. Jalkrieth won. I don't give a shit anymore. Thank you for answering, Uriel."
Danae turns from Uriel and stretches before picking her halberd back up, slinging it onto it's rightful place on her back. "Gods, I need a fucken drink after that. Unless you're keen on impaling me again, Javal?"
"Don't you even joke about that, Angel."
Danae chuckles lightly, picking up her chest piece and looking to Javal. "Reckon I can give you some pointers. Willing to hear me out?"

Javal holds his gaze at Danae firmly, A sudden flashback in his mind occurs back to his childhood when he had just beaten his captain in a sparring match. And remembering the kind smile his captain had on his face as he calmed Javal down it looked exactly like Danae’s look right now.
He begins to straighten himself back into his normal Javal attitude, remembering his captain’s words, “Don’t look back at the past to remember, look to the future to forget”.
He then proceeds to mumble them to himself and stands back up to his regular height, “You’re right Danae although I am still sorry about what I did. Stuff happens and I can’t change that I just have to move on and be better in the future”.
Javal shakes his head as he feels the strange feeling in his hand and says, “Sorry about that pretend that I shook your hand in a show of respect Lady Danielle”.
Uriel stands behind her champion and listens to Danae’s conflicted answer to her own, “You don’t have to come back up to Danae if you don’t want to. I won’t force you or beg you to return. God knows that I would love to just hide away on this plane from all of the chaos up there. As for our good friend Jally-boy you’re right he’d probably have your head on a spear the second you arrived back up so it's for the better. I’m happy to see that you have found peace here with such a wonderful partner”, she says pointing at Danielle.
Uriel then waves her hands and whispers in Javal’s ear, “Continue on my champion I shall see you another time”, and she then turns to Danae once more to give her goodbyes, “Farewell my sister I’m sure we’ll see each other some other time my dear. Know that I shall always be there looking out for you whenever you need me".
Her form then dissipates into white light before suddenly she is gone with no traces of her existence but a single gold feather that dissipates into the air.
Javal sighs loudly before saying, “I could also use a drink and no I am not keen on impaling you once more”.
His demeanor changes back into the same one that was present when Danae first met him, one of excitement and wonder as he says, “Oh yes please I’d love to hear battle advice from you Danae you were just amazing back there”.
