INT. HEAVEN – THE CHAINS OF VERDICT – TIMELESS
The Hall of Judgment is empty now. Only Gabriel remains, still bound to the center by burning chains. His wings dim like dying embers. The Seraphim's light has faded into distant stars.
He looks down — through layers of Heaven's glass — into Hell. The Testament's Gate still glows faint beneath, where the 32 survivors kneel in the dark.
Gabriel (quietly): Thirty-two left... stubborn to the end.
He exhales, the faintest smirk curling his lips.
Gabriel: Heaven calls it judgment. I call it imbalance.
The chains pulse, draining his power. His halo flickers.
Gabriel: So, if balance must break... I'll break it myself.
He closes his eyes. Energy bleeds from him — not light, but something deeper, a fusion of faith and defiance. The sky above cracks, and his voice thunders across all realms.
Gabriel: —OPEN.
EXT. HELL – THE TESTAMENT'S GATE – SAME TIME
The sealed gate explodes in radiance. Golden light burns through stone and blood. The survivors shield their eyes — Arven, Grace, Cassian, Kairo, Kwame, Sofia, Dimitri, Elias, Viktor — all trembling as air floods their lungs for the first time without torment.
Arven (shouting): The gate—! It's opening!
Grace: Impossible... who—?
Kairo (realizing): Gabriel.
Wind howls. Light engulfs them. Their bodies disintegrate into white ash — vanishing from Hell.
INT. HEAVEN – THE CHAINS OF VERDICT – CONTINUOUS
Gabriel's power surges outward. The glass of Heaven fractures, the chains melting from his wrists. His voice echoes through eternity.
Gabriel: I release them.
Michael (off-screen, furious): GABRIEL! STOP!
The Seraphim's brilliance flares above him, fury shaking the heavens.
Seraphim Council: Cease, Messenger! You defy your sentence! You open the path forbidden since Creation!
Gabriel (smiling): I was never good at silence.
He raises one burning hand toward the void beneath him.
Gabriel: Rise, humanity. Your trial is not over yet.
The heavens rupture. The gate between realms tears open — not just for souls, but for everything bound beneath.
EXT. EARTH – SKY ABOVE THE RUINS – DAY
Thunder cracks across blue skies. A rift of gold and red tears open. The 32 survivors fall from the clouds like meteors — crashing into ruined cities, forests, deserts, oceans.
They awaken one by one. Soil. Air. Earth. Real air.
Grace (gasping): We're... back?
Arven (looking around): This can't be real.
Kwame: It's the surface... the real surface.
Then — the sky screams.
From the same rift descend shadows — countless, endless. The Demons of Hell pour through in black rivers, wings of ash spreading over the sun.
Cities crumble. Mountains split. The Sigils themselves follow — colossal, wreathed in infernal light.
Kairo (drawing his sword): No...
Sofia: They came with us—!
Cassian: The Sigils—! The first three! They're not dead!
The world trembles. Lightning and flame rain down as millions of demons manifest across the planet.
INT. HEAVEN – HALL OF JUDGMENT – CONTINUOUS
The Archangels stand in chaos. Trumpets sound. The Seraphim burn brighter than stars.
Michael: He did it. He opened the Gate!
Uriel: Hell is bleeding into the mortal plane!
Raphael: The humans will die!
Camael: It's forbidden to interfere again! It violates the Trial's Law!
Zadkiel: Then the Law must break. If Hell walks Earth, we must descend.
Michael clenches his fist, fury and disbelief etched across his face.
Michael: Damn you, Gabriel... you left us no choice.
EXT. EARTH – NIGHTFALL
The survivors watch the skies tear apart. Fire rains across cities. Demons pour endlessly. Yet amidst the chaos, a streak of light cuts through the clouds — faint, golden.
Dimitri (in awe): The angels... they're coming.
Arven (gritting his teeth): Then it's war. Again.
INT. HEAVEN – GABRIEL'S CHAINS – FINAL SHOT
Gabriel stands at the edge of Heaven, body fading, wings charred, eyes alight with defiance.
Gabriel (laughs softly): What now, Heaven?
He looks down at the burning Earth.
Gabriel: You wanted silence... now listen to the world scream.
The light swallows him completely.
Heaven's order shattered.
Hell's gate undone.
Humanity stood between gods and monsters once more.
And above it all — the fallen messenger smiled.
