SPOILERS No the black soul was destroyed at the end of the first Prophecy... Satan got to take Gabriel to hell (and of course, tried to take Thomas and the chick too)... In the beginning of episode II Satan brings Gabriel back to earth (Satan cameo not played by Vigo Mortensen iirc -- which I thought was a good role for him in the first film) and makes the comment that there's not room in hell for both of them... which is kind of cheap a cheap lead-in for the 2nd film in which Gabriel tries to prevent the birth of a nephilim (half-angel) by gutting the woman carrying him. Same motivation as the first film -- he's jealous of humans and wants things back the way they were "when he loved us (angels) best". At the end of Prophecy II Gabriel receives the revelation that while God hasn't talked to him (or he hasn't heard) for a long time, God does talk to the Nephilim's mother, who tells Gabriel what he's saying... which is "fall". Gabriel falls off of ... what I think is a painter's scaffolding... where he'd cornered the woman and lands back-first onto a metal pipe which protrudes through his chest. Gabriel however is still not dead -- one of the other angels (Michael I think) places his hand over the angelic script on Gabriels neck and announces that Gabriel is to become human. I don't remember the line verbatim, but this leads into Gabriel's comment to Sophiel (the Spy of Heaven who's allegiance is unclear from bliblical texts) in Prophecy III that "we become what we fear". It becomes apparent that after becoming human, Gabriel (who retains his eternal memory) has been protecting the Nephilim (Gabriel: "You are the message, and for the first time in a long time, I get to know what it is!") until a crazed blind man shoots him "to death" on behalf of Sophiel who then has to come to earth to do the job himself (because you have to tear the nephilim's heart out). The nephilim, Daniel wakes up in the morgue after being shot, followed by lots of being chased by Sophiel who recruits Daniel's girlfriend. She's still in love, he doesn't care, just wants Daniel dead, it's an estranged relationship between the 2 of them. Daniel normally wouldn't care that God wants him to perform a task (since he believed God had abandoned us), except that close to the end of the film she's fatally wounded and the only way he can save her is by destroying Phyrrial(sp) (the Whited Sepulchur - "pure light of heaven") who's come to wipe out the human race to start over -- it's uncertain from the dialogue if his intent is like Satan's to replace God or if he merely thinks that he can accomplish what Gabriel wanted this way. Gabriel is responsible for informing Daniel what his options are when his girlfriend is wounded. After daniel destroys Phyrrial (on a messa in the same reservation where the dark soul was destroyed in the first film), of course his girlfriend is healed and Gabriel is returned to God's graces and becomes an angel again... I remember there being a good short narrated monologue at the very end of the last film but I don't remember the words.
