Rough Landing

When they were sucked through, it literally felt like they had entered a machine full of many needles. It hurt! Then they were spewed out.

Flanagan had many fractured ribs. Cetera came next hard and landed right on top of Flan.

“You alright, Sam? “Flan asked using the new name. It began to clear up too, his mind. He didn't feel so fuzzy in the noggin.

“I think I broke my ankle,” Cetera said.

“Cas, if he still has those powers, will be able to heal you,” Flanagan replied. He then looked around. “Speaking of Cas, where is he?”

They then began to call around. “Tiel!”

“I will be sending you to help My lost angels. You are not to reveal yourselves. Here are your instructions,” the Lord said handing them a piece of scroll.

“Michael will be joining you shortly, but you will not recognize him in the temporary form he will be using. He will reveal himself when it is time,” the Father reported. They then flew off away from Heaven and into the dimension Tiel, Flanagan, and Cetera had just come out into...

“Are you boys alright?” Tiel said coming over to them now. Right away Flanagan felt something was terribly wrong. Tiel did not look good and his nose was bleeding. He then collapsed. They raced over just in time for Cetera to catch hold of him.

“Oh Cas... Cetera, he doesn't look good,” Flanagan said. Tiel lost consciousness then and his nose dripped worse with blood.

“Flan, we have to get him to a hospital!” Cetera honked.

Someone then raced over to them. “Is he ok? Has he been hit by a car?” the man asked.

“Hit by a what?” Flan replied. Yoha, who had been sent by God, then checked Tiel's neck for a pulse. He then got on his cellphone. Cetera just looked at it. Was communications device?

“I need an ambulance,” Yoha said, then told them where he was.

He laid Tiel onto the ground and placed his jacket like a pillow for Tiel's head. He placed his hand upon Tiel's chest and took his vitals. Yoha could feel the life of this angel slipping away.

“The ambulance will be here shortly. Do you know what happened to him?” Yoha now asked. Flan didn't know if he should tell the truth or not. “He just collapsed right in front of us and his nose was bleeding. His ears too,” he said.

“Might be a possible aneurism. I'm a medic. I'll do what I can till help arrives. He's going into shock,” Yoha spoke. Flanagan and Cetera, plus Tiel knew at least what that term meant and that Tiel could die.

Soon within 5 more minutes the ambulance pulled up. Yoha showed his identification then to the driver, that stated he was a medic and could help in treating Tiel.

“Great, my other partner had to go home sick so I was solo today,” the other medic who came from the back of the medivac spoke.

He bent down to the patient. “What's his name?” he asked. Yoha looked to Cetera and Flanagan.

“Oh, his name is Castiel,” Cetera said. The medic began to shake on Cas now. “Castiel, I'm Frampton Peters. Can you hear me? Cas?” he spoke.

“I got no response from him while waiting. If anything, his condition is worsening,” Yoha told him.

“Do you know what's happened to him?” the paramedic asked next.

“It might be a brain aneurism,” spoke Yoha. That did not sound good to Cetera.

The paramedic began a thorough check of Tiel now. “Pulse is very weak. I can barely get a BP,” the medic spoke after taking his blood pressure. Yoha was already in the process of starting Tiel on a central line.

“Good. I need to find out his blood type,” the medic spoke. But Yoha knew Tiel's blood was a tad bit different than the natives of this planet. Once he got into the back of the medivac with Tiel, he planned to draw some of his blood himself.

Just then Flanagan noticed that Tiel stopped breathing. “Cas?” he horned. “Hey, he's stopped breathing! Do something!”

“It'll be OK, sir. I'm already on it. I'm preparing to put a breathing tube down his throat, so try not to panic,” the medic said. He then got an airway tube ready to insert.

Yoha saw that Flanagan looked so scared. “Hey, it's alright. We'll take good care of him. I promise. You two just relax and let us do all the work now, alright,” he said.

The medic established the airway and hooked up an ambu bag. Yoha began to squeeze on the bag as they lifted Tiel up and placed him onto a stretcher. Flanagan felt like he could throw up, or pass out. Whichever came first. Seeing his commanding con-rad like this. The concept that Tiel could be dead real soon really began to hit him.

While Tiel was being rushed to the hospital, Yoha gave him the much-needed blood. He acted like he'd found the bag with his type of blood but Yoha had really gotten it from God Himself. It had appeared in the container which had the cold plasma bags kept. Yoha also gave Tiel some medication through his IV tubing to help stop the bleeder.

Yoha had to help Flanagan. He had to place his head between his legs. He was feeling mighty woozy.

Tiel was soon rushed into an emergency room in the big citadel city on a planet known as Vegros.

Another Angel was waiting there. Cyrus Azeekiel Hiracia. He was the attending doctor at the time. He knew Tiel was on the way. He was ordered by the Throne to do whatever he could to keep the undecided angel alive. Tiel had given up a lot to keep his comrades safe. God was not giving up on him. Not by a long shot.

Tiel was placed on a vent. The bleeder was too deep inside his brain to be able to surgically fix but the injection that Yoha had given seemed to help stop the bleeding. It was beginning to clot. But Tiel had lost too much blood and because of the transporting himself and his two comrades physically here to this dimension, it severely weakened him. Tiel had slipped into a coma.

Cyrus did all that he could around the clock to help keep the angel alive. But he also sensed that the transporting spell did not take and they would be sucked right back to the dimension of chaos. He wasn't sure what would happen. If Tiel would be strong enough even to take the abrupt trip back.

He knew Cetera and Flanagan should be fine. But Tiel needed longer to heal than the time allotted them. The substance or should I say the residue left by this transaction was in their cells, from the last dimension, too strong, and Cyrus wasn't sure he could find a way to dissolve it out of their bodies. Cyrus got real busy trying to find a solution to this problem. No way was he going to let this kill Tiel.

By that next day Tiel was still on the vent. He looked so pale. Flanagan was scared they would lose him. Cyrus didn't want to have to tell them the truth but knew he and Yoha had to. So, they sat the boys down and told them who they really were. Flanagan broke down.

“I knew only God could help him. Tiel has such a good heart,” Flan sobbed.

“So, where do we go from here? We sure don't want to return to that dimension where we'll all lose our memories and identities,” Cetera spoke.

“Well, I'll tell you what has to be done. You two Angels go tell God He has to fix this. On our terms, not His,” Flan outburst. He watched the machine breathe continuously for his best friend.

Cyrus took Flan's hand. “God understands how you feel, son. Just trust Him. Go to the chapel and acknowledge that He's the Lord. Tiel can't right now being in the coma, but he sure would be relieved if you two did,” Cyrus told him.

That only made the anger come out of Flanagan again. Cetera was afraid it would. Flan was STUBBORN. Even at the cost of Tiel, he felt Flan just would not budge.

“No sir! You can tell God where to go stuff it, if He lets Cas....” Flan bellowed and he then couldn't say more. He began to sob again. Cetera sighed.

Cyrus got busy in the lab with the 3 blood samples from Tiel, Flanagan, and Cetera, to try to find a way to neutralize the residue that was encoding all their cells and quite frankly, pull the 3 undecided angels back into the chaotic dimension.

Cyrus found a special crystal. He used a device to track down anything that would react to the residue in the 3 angels' blood. He had found the crystal in the lab. It would work.

All he had to do was create a necklace with it and it would block the residue signals and keep the portal from opening, that would suck them back through. But the crystal wasn't big enough so it would only be strong enough for one angel.

Of course, it was anonymous. Tiel was given the necklace. Flan placed it around his neck. He took his hand. “You have to stay here, buddy. You'll be fine. This is a nice world, Cas. You'll be able to get a doctor's job. This is a real nice hospital. You'll save many lives,” Flanagan then began to cry. Cetera sighed.

“Are you ready?” Flan asked Cetera, impatient. The clock was ticking down and soon the portal would reopen and force them back into chaos.

“Yeah, just a minute,” Cetera replied. He then went and hugged onto Tiel. He was still in a coma breathing with only the ventilator. “I'm going to miss you, Tiel... You have a good life here and trust God, OK,” he said.

“Hurry up Sammy!” Flan said referring to their new identity. The portal opened and they were then just gone.

Amistis Star and The Seaside Hotel

Michael went into the intensive care unit where Tiel was. It broke Michael's heart seeing this once strong and vibrant Arch Angel now reduced to this.

Michael took his hand. “Hey Ti. I don't know if you can hear me or not, being in this coma, but we're all rooting for you back in Heaven.” Michael then sat. He sighed. The vent whooshed on and on. Cyrus then came in. “Thanks for the help Michael, we were running out of time and I knew he would not survive being ripped away from this dimension in his present condition. He almost didn't survive coming here,” he told him.

Michael now stood. He had been the one who placed the crystal in the lab for Cyrus to find. It was the only thing now keeping Tiel from being transported back to the dimension of chaos. If he wore the necklace he was safe.

“How are Flan and Cetera? Do you know if they made it alright?” Cyrus asked.

“They made it. But they won't have long until the chaos of the illusion takes them. At least
