Attack on the Church (Gottheit)

The attack on the church was an event that happened right after Issei Hyoudou awakened his new Sacred Gear in the story Gottheit Retold.

## Prelude

3 months before the battle at the church, Raynare was on a mission to kill Issei but over time she came to respect and love him and left the group of rogue Fallen she had been with to live with Issei which caused the other Fallen to change their plans.

With the original plan down the drain, the three decided to fake being friends with his parents but while it worked well with some magical help with his parents, they had to keep reapplying the magic to Issei and Raynare before they killed Issei and his parents, burned down his house and kidnapped Raynare.

As Issei lay there dying, he awoke his Sacred Gear which is when he met the Biblical God which told him he was her successor and would lead the world to peace.

After his talk with his predecessor, Issei awoke to find himself no longer in his burnt house and as he finalized plans within his mind to head to Heaven, Gabriel appeared, having felt a sudden urge to go to Kuoh at that time and during the talk that came afterwards, Issei realized to his horror he almost forgot about Raynare and rushed to the church to save her with Gabriel not far behind and after he convinced her he wouldn't back down from his plans, she followed him into the church.

## Battle

Issei kills Freed Sellzen as soon as he breaks down the doors into the church and also surprising Gabriel as she easily recognized the crazed priest, and they easily find the hidden stairwell leading down where the rogue Fallen were at. When he got down to the hidden floor, he realized that one of the Fallen was not there and had to have been dealt with by Raynare who was on the ground unconscious by a cross with a girl he didn't recognize hanging from it.

The Fallen were surprised to see him but tried to play it off as they were close to finishing their goal of getting Asia's Sacred Gear out but Issei and Gabriel ended their lives and the rogue exorcists with over 200 Light Spears between the two instantly taking them out and ending the battle.

## Conclusion

2. Raynare Forgiven by Issei and turned into a Reborn Angel.
3. Asia Argento given a second chance in life by Gabriel as she was given the Two of Hearts card. Excommunication officially lifted not long after once it was looked into by Raziel. While it's a slow process at first, she's welcome by the other Brave Saints once they learn what actually happened.
4. Issei's identity is hidden to Heaven's populace outside of the Seraphim and their Brave Saints decks and he slowly begins the process of taking over Heaven's System before returning to Kuoh to finish studies and open back up the church there.
