DV6 Tales from the Wastes

Fall of Michael “Ash and Hell-Fire”

The angel Michael fell.

Wings torn from his back, he plummeted through smoke and screams. Fear and chaos swallowed the heavens. Hope died. Evil prevailed.

Mortal blood ran through his veins and poured from his wounds. Heaven burned behind him. The earth below was torn open, shattered, blazing with endless atomic fire. Hellish tears ripped across the globe, vomiting the damned into the mortal realm.

“The light is extinguished,” Michael whispered as he fell. “Darkness is eternal.”

Diablo sat upon the Lord’s throne. Demons devoured the souls of the good.

Then came the voice—deep, ancient, and impossibly gentle—vibrating through his broken core:

“You are wrong, Michael.”

The Creator’s light bathed him even as he plummeted.

“You were always jealous of the humans. You thought they were favored. Unknown to you, they were created to suffer… to change… to adapt. They were made to evolve.

You have only known perfection and ultimate power, unburdened by tragedy not of your own making. No, my angel… you never understood. This is their purpose. Their free will.

This is not a war. The war has already been lost. But this is not the end. The light is not extinguished. Evil does not prevail. This is their time… and they no longer need us.”

Michael opened his eyes and saw the Creator—pure light and love—comforting him as the ground rushed up to claim his life. His jealousy melted into understanding. His hate became sorrow for what humanity must endure to survive.

This is Evolution.

He turned to face the earth and his death, closed his eyes, and waited for the end.

Instead of crushing rock and dirt, he felt something soft. Warm. A fur coat that smelled of cologne, musk, and something strangely comforting.

Michael’s eyes snapped open.

A human with a massive afro, wearing a loud red-and-white fur coat and a shiny belt, had caught him mid-fall. The man grinned down at him.

Waste Daddy Adam: “Whata ta my brother! You falled the waaaay down to the low down.”

Before Michael could respond, a massive Diablo demon—swollen with stolen souls—burst from the treeline, charging at terrifying speed. Claws extended, hellfire roaring from its maw.

Michael tried to move, but his body was shattered. Yet the demon never reached him.

Adam whipped out his belt like a weapon, parrying every savage strike with casual flair. He spun the belt in a blur, deflecting the demonic fire breath. Mid-battle, he casually glanced down at Michael as if they were chatting over coffee.

Adam: “No worry, the deemos ain’t hurting no one. I got to say the nayno.”

The demon lunged for the fallen angel. Adam answered with a roundhouse kick followed by a devastating uppercut that launched the engine of terror nearly 100 feet into the air.

He turned back to Michael, knelt down as if time itself had paused, and whispered:

“My Evolution, brother.”

Adam’s voice deepened, power rippling through it. His eyes glowed with intense green energy, waves of raw strength pouring off his body.

Adam: “10th Gate… Final Lotus!”

In a blur, Adam launched off the ground, leaving a crater behind. He appeared face-to-face with the demon, his belt already wrapped around the beast dozens of times, stretching impossibly long. The demon roared and raged with hellish fire, but it changed nothing.

Adam pulled the monster into a tight hug, staring directly into its eyes as they spiraled downward at blinding speed and slammed into the earth.

When the dust settled, Michael lifted his head.

Adam walked toward him, calm and smiling. Around him walked the souls he had just freed—men, women, and children—laughing, thanking him, running and playing. Some begged him to tell stories or sing songs.

Tears streamed down Michael’s face. His despair vanished. His hatred dissolved. He finally understood.

Adam started singing a ridiculously catchy tune, dancing his way back to the angel. Michael felt inspiration, joy, and love flood his broken form.

This was Evolution.

Adam reached him, leaned in close with a grin, and said:

“The Kiddos say you the Angel from the Christmas Tree… and we gotta plug you in.”

Michael lay there—broken, confused, and deeply impressed—not knowing how to respond to the human who had just saved him.

Adam simply lifted Michael’s tattered hand and gave him a solid high-five.

Adam: “Aight, Kiddos… plug him in and let’s open presents!”

The souls of the innocent rushed into Michael’s chest. His bones cracked, splintered, and healed stronger than before. New wings—brighter and more beautiful—burst from his back.

Michael stood tall, walked over to Adam, and said with genuine awe:

“I don’t know what to say, Human…”

Adam did a little jig, a shuffle, then pulled a microphone from his fur coat and launched into his hit song “Thank You!”

The performance was pure energy. The souls inside Michael sang every line with him, urging the angel to dance and join in.

When Adam finished, Michael stepped forward and embraced him tightly. Adam hugged back… for a little too long.

Then he turned toward the distant screams, motioning for Michael to follow.

Adam: “Come on, Brother. A lot of good to sign… and we got no pen.”

The two walked off together—angel and Waste Daddy—to save more lives, free more souls, make lots of kiddos happy, and teach the world right from wrong.

Fade to Black.
