The door was pushed open with great force and three huge angels forced their way into the apartment, two of the them throwing Antonin down onto the old and tattered sofa in a rough fashion. "Whoah!" says Antonin. "What is this? Is it the Angel of Death, or just Halloween come early?" "You should be so lucky," replied the third angel dressed in a black cloak, who suddenly took down the hood obscuring his face to reveal his identity. Antonin gasped: "Goddamn! Lysiel! Oh shit! What do you want from me?" Antonin was clearly upset at seeing his old rival. Their last showdown had been near the border of Norway and Russia, shortly before the Intervention. It was a bloody Adam D. Powell & Rick Davis [133] The Tunnel at the End of time affair. The NWO had lost several men and Lysiel's forces also reported some humanoid casualties, including Lysiel's young protége "Kristian". Lysiel vowed revenge at the time, but Antonin was soon afterwards re-located to Damascus, where he served a short while before returning to Arkhangelsk.
