Eliya laughed. "Oh please. You flatter me. If I were Michael, those monsters would have been ground to hamburger meat in seconds and cast into the flames of Gehena. No, I am the Angel Eliya, the delivery angel. I have come to deliver mankind from its one-sided fight from the beasts." He lifted into the air. "My power is limited, and so are the ways in which I am allowed to help. For example, I am not cleared to help in the repair of the city. That much is something man must do for himself. But I will help in battle against the monsters."
"Sure thing Eliya. The Interior Union will pay for the destruction of Sydney. But, judging from your magic, you seem to be able to help with the waters. Well, I guess as an agent of God it'd be your duty to care for the environment. Am I right?" The operator continues.
"Gah, I hate Magic." White Glint arrogantly says as the LYNXE's depart and land on the nearest aircraft carrier for repairs.

"Magic, heh, I guess that is the word you humans have decided to use for it," said Eliya. "Well, actually, my primary function has to do with protecting humanity. I'm cleaning the water for your own good. If that stuff got into the atmosphere, it would end up killing more people than any monster attack. This stuff is not to be trifled with. That's why I can't let you humans get your hands on it either." He looked up into the sky. "My job is done here. I must take my leave. I'll returned when I'm needed. Go with God, sons of man!"
"Wait Eliya! Do you have time for a review? We could use the extra bit of info on our allies, provided you're okay with that." The operator asks of him, obviously eager to learn more on the angel.
"Just let him go. I'm sure the dealings of angels are more important than us mere mortals." Shinkai comments.

"Sorry! No can do!" chirped Eliya. "I an only allow you to know so much. Don't worry, I'll be back. See you all later!" With that, his image blinked out of their sights and out of all of their detection equipment.
It was as if he was never there to begin with, save for the freshly purified water. It was so pure in fact that human pollution had also been removed from that area for the time being.

"Um... okay..." White Glint mutters.
"Alright, let's get out of here. We'll send a clean up crew to fix things up a bit. Good job everybody." Suddenly a loud cacophony of cheering can be heard within the ships. Finally it seems, their work is complete. "God be praised..."

Eliya wasn't really gone, not completely. He was out of reach to the humans and their instruments, yes, but he was still looking down upon them. He searched the hearts of the fighting men for one who was worthy to reach out to. Having an angel speak to a human was no trivial matter. He needed to find the right human.
