Sirius ceases his attack and rushes to where Agares had landed, upon reaching there he saw no-one, as he is about to leave he senses the presence of another and immediately takes a leap back and turns in the direction of the energy he had felt with Agares emerging from a portal with annoyance on his face
SIRIUS : I’ve never known an archdemon to fight in such a cowardly fashion, masking your presence with that portal and attempting a sneak attack is quite cowardly and I can only but feel bad for Hell for having you amongst it’s upper echelons of authority
AGARES : Silence!!!
Agares is beyond angered at Sirius comment and decides to make him pay for it, he creates a blade of pure hell flame and sped towards Sirius attempting to finish it in one strike, unfortunately his plan fell through as Sirius dodged his slash with relative ease
SIRIUS : Is that the fastest you can go??... Cause if it is, then I am really disappointed in you
AGARES : How did you do that??.... I moved at faster than light speeds and yet you just stepped out of the way like as though it was nothing
SIRIUS : news flash, FTL is my starting point when it comes to speed so unless you are running at infinity then you have no hope of keeping up with me…. ( with that being said, he creates a light blade construct and waits for Agares to come at him )
Agares charges towards Sirius again but this time Sirius doesn’t dodge but clashes blades with Agares with air dispelling from the area around them due to the collision, Sirius and Agares begin to fight in earnest but it seemed as though Sirius was having his fun with Agares as he blocked Agares’s strikes with relative ease, not bothering to hit back at the earl.
ZARA : Heavenly art : Unsightly tendrils
A dark cloud surrounds Zara and out of it several black tendrils begins to shoot out and grab demons and undead alike, draining everything from them until there was nothing else but bones
JONATHAN : Damn ,that’s nasty
ZARA : shouldn’t you be somewhere else?.... I’ve got things here, you may leave
JONATHAN : oh c’mon, are you by any means try to send me away
ZARA : yup… now be gone
JONATHAN : You hurt me to no end…. ( he says as he feigns tears)
ZARA : Are you really gonna be like that??
JONATHAN : I can understand why you’d be so serious right now, OK how about we talk when we get back to Sanctuary
ZARA : I can’t promise anything, we should focus in finding Elisa for now before thinking about any kind of romance even if it is quite tempting
JONATHAN : I’ll be back… ( moving at sub sonic speeds he gets some distance between himself and Zara before catching up with a horde that was surrounding Natalie)
Natalie was getting overwhelmed with the sheer number of dons and undead attacking her for some reason, no matter where she turned she was blocked from keeping a reasonable distance from the spawns of hell
JONATHAN : Heavenly art : Chaos
A purple wave blows over the entire area in which Natalie was meant to deal with after which demons and undead begin to attack each other and rip themselves to pieces, Natalie sees this and uses it as an opportunity to get some distance between herself and the fight, finally coming to stand beside Jonathan
NATALIE : I could have handled that
JONATHAN : I know, but I got bored so I decided to help…. You can finish it up though
NATALIE : Yeah sure, reality is often times disappointing…. Heavenly art : Erasing snap ( she snaps her fingers loudly and in an instant all demons and undead within her range of vision turn to ash)
JONATHAN : Damn girl, that’s brutal
NATALIE : Wanted to do that since but it seems they knew and tried to keep me from snapping anyways it’s over now, we should check on the others
JONATHAN : Yeah sure, let’s go
Sirius was done having fun with Agares and decided to finish his battle with him quickly, Agares was exceedingly frustrated at how low Sirius saw him as Agares could not stomach the pride with which Sirius blocked his strikes with ease albeit with the surrounding area being destroyed due to shock waves and redirected attacks
AGARES : Enough of this ( he takes a few leap back) ….. Unholy light ( a bright red light begins to shine around him as it forms a spiraling ball with its rotation whipping up the earth around him)
SIRIUS : you’ve got to be kidding me… ( chucking at Agares attempt to manipulate light )
AGARES : I have had enough of your proud countenance time for you to die
SIRIUS : Oh, quite unfortunate….. Enough ( in an otherworldly voice)
Agares stopped in his tracks and his attack seized abruptly, Sirius smirked and began to walk towards Agares with slow and calculated steps
AGARES : What is the meaning of this??
SIRIUS : My authority is above all things, as long as you are under the sound of my voice, you shall listen to me
AGARES : Impossible, I shall not go down like this…. Come to me ( with a shriek that echoed across Lagos)
The sound offset Sirius and caused him to stop in his tracks and cover his ears, after the shriek calm came with Sirius wondering why Agares had shrieked like that no too long after the life-force of all of Agares forces begin to converge to Agares, entering and causing him to evolve into an even more advanced and unsightly demonic entity
AGARES ( ENHANCED) : Now you shall feel my wrath ( in a loud voice which boomed across the city they were in)
Sirius stared down Agares after which he burst into a sick laughter, Agares vexed by Sirius antics tried to smash him but Sirius leaped out of the way after which he puts up his palm facing Agares with a smug look
SIRIUS : If you think that absorbing all your forces actually helped your chances against me then I’m sorry to say but you are sorely mistaken
AGARES : I’ll make you eat your words, human scum
SIRIUS : You can try…. Heavenly art : Laser
Before Agares can react, a thin line of amplified light is shot from Sirius’s finger and cuts through him in the middle with the demon struck with shock at the speed and destructive capability of the attack.
AGARES : what the…
Agares splits into two clean halves and explodes into ashes with the area behind him getting affected by Sirius attack as well with several large explosions occurring for a couple of miles back with Sirius watching the scenery with an absent mind.
The other apostles converged at where Sirius was with none of them looking slightly satisfied by the easy victory they had just enjoyed with most looking sullen and others brooding rather loudly, Elisha sees this and tries to uplift the spirits of his subordinates by walking over to a place where he was visible to all eleven apostles.
ELISHA : I know you all are still sad over the fact that Eliza is not here with us but right now we have something really important to talk aboutARIA : What’s that ??...( she asks with others showing little interest)ELISHA : Who got the highest number of kills of course, I think I wonThere was silence for a while as the other apostles don’t respond immediately but keep to the moody atmosphere for a few seconds before the ice is brokenCALEB : Don’t kid yourself bro, I’m clearly the one who wonDAVID : Whoa, hold it right there… did you guys see me in action, I was taking down those demons like it was nothingZINO : If I remember properly you were struggling until I arrived to give you moral support ( Zino says with a few muffled chuckles coming from the group)… anyways I’m clearly the winner since I had five minions doing the killing for meSERAYAH : I don’t think it counts a
WAR ANGEL #4 : It’s BeelzebubARCHANGEL #5 : So these guys are really serious with storming heaven’s gate with everything they’ve gotARCHANGEL #6 : Urghh….Beelzebub was a tall figure with a slightly humane look save for say his head which carried two distinct horns, his hands which looked more like the hands of a monster with its scaly skin and long fingers with his legs sharing similar characteristics with his hands, his wings spanned a whooping fifty six by thirty two inches with it looking like those of a bat.BEELZEBUB : I’m honored that you all still remember me despite my changed appearanceARCHANGEL #5 : Why wouldn’t we remember, you defiant…. ( the archangel is not allowed to finish his sentence when a blade slices through his neck beheading him instantly with other angels staring in horror)BEELZEBUB : you will show me respect and not cut me off when I speak, I am not here to banter wo
Beelzebub shakes his head and widens his wings opening a portal large enough to swallow the earth and out of it several black spikes begin to fire out of it at immense speeds with Raphael hitting them away with his blade and he jetted towards Beelzebub to engage in close combat. The force, speed and intensity of Beelzebub’s rain of spikes was getting stronger the closer Raphael get but this did not deter Raphael as he then stopped in his tracks and generated an energy wave from his being that repelled all the spikes From Beelzebub and blinded him momentarily, Before Beelzebub has a chance to regain himself Raphael gives him a huge blow on his shoulder with his blade, only narrowly missing the chance to slice Beelzebub in two due to the latter’s quick reflexes which ended up saving himBEELZEBUB : We are going to keep on coming brother, we will gain access to the throne of grace soon enoughRAPHAEL : I don’t care how many because as many of you that
ELIZA : what??... End the war, how does my power help to do that?? And why exactly am I the one that gets to do that, I mean can’t the Father just snap his fingers and everything is back to normal??GABRIEL : It’s not so simple, Eliza, the Father can’t interfere in such a direct manner before the appointed time, it would go against his word and as it is known, his word is absoluteELIZA : What the hell are you talking about??... So many people have died and he won’t do anything all because his word are more important that the lives of his creation?? Is that what you are saying??GABRIEL : Be careful of the assumptions you make, else you be struck dead for blaspheming against the FatherELIZA : Threatening me like that won’t change what I feel or what I’ve seen, people died in the most painful and gruesome way possible, Gabriel…. Six billion people are dead and instead of you to give an answer for why the Father didn’t stop this a long
LOCATION : THE SIXTH LEVEL OF HELLTIME : IRRELEVANTDATE : IRRELEVANT[ FACTS : Hell is an entire universe comparable in size to Heaven. It is filled with fire and brimstone and coursing with everything evil, wrong and negative in all of existence, created to keep Lucifer and his minions captive until the appointed time when they would be brought before the throne of grace and judged, humans that end up resident there are unfortunate souls that succumbed to the devil’s whims and got dragged in with him thus hell was never created for humans and it is only due to heeding the words of demons do human souls end up there suffering eternal torment. Hell is divided into six levels with the first to the fourth level housing low level demons up to the rank of low archdemons, the fifth level is home to the Named while the sixth is the dwelling place of the demon princes as well as the dark god Lucifer, intensity of flames in hell increase as one goes deep
"And what exactly are your opinions??” Belphegor asks gruffly, “You lot have been underestimating the human race since time immemorial and every time they end up proving you wrong, I think it’s time you take this seriously, cease the attack on heaven and concentrate your forces on destroying humanity completely else they be your downfall” Six replied calmly.“Pfft you give the humans too much credit, do not belittle us by making us carry out conquests on those humans” Mammon remarks proudly, “There is a reason why you are the weakest of the six, you don’t think things through and you think you are worth something just because you are a member of the princes” Six says in a condescending manner, “What did you say??... How dare you speak to me like that??” Mammon asked flaring up at what Six had said.“Unfortunately that is the truth, whore” Six replied which causes Mammon to lose it and move swiftly towards him and grabs him by the neck, “I’ll kill you!!!” Mammon yells and

DIANA : Which is why she is acting so aggressive towards us. That I can understand ( Diana says with her eyes fixated on the general)ARTHUR : I never would have thought that this was the reason for her attitude. She must be really scarredALEXANDER : I’m sorry for your loss, General. I know it must be rough having to deal with the fact that your own daughter secretly resents you and the fact that you support the church even after everything that has happened. ( He asserts in a calm voice)GENERAL MULLIGAN : Don’t get me wrong, Alex. I still question the Father every night asking why he would let Miranda die in such a gruesome manner but in the end I guess her beliefs rubbed off on me ( He remarks as he then took his seat)ALEXANDER : I can understand. May I ask a favorGENERAL MULLIGAN : Yes anything. What is it ( He replies as he regained his composure)ALEXANDER : I would like to have a chance to prove to Ele
GENERAL MULLIGAN : Ahem. As I was saying. I can understand just how fatigued you might feel. With the amount of responsibility on your shoulders, it’s a wonder you haven’t broken down. For so long this war as been going on. So many have fallen trying to protect what remains of humanity. That responsibility alone is enough to break a man. So I say thank you for all you have sacrificed to protect humanity. Because of men like you, humanity can rest easy hoping that one day we will be free.ALEXANDER : That us a dream I would like to see fulfilled as well and I know that with the blessings of the Father, that dream will soon become a reality.ELENA : Oh please. Do not lump in humanity’s survival with that made up being you choose to follow ( Elena remarks in a condescending tone )ALEXANDER : Sorry what do you mean by that??ELENA : I said that you should not lump in humanity’s survival on a being that doesn’t even exist.ARTHUR : Hmm, ar
ALEXANDER : A human drawing powers from hell who calls himself the Shadow KingALL OF HAVEN’S REPRESENTATIVES : The shadow king?? ( Speaking out in unison )ALEXANDER : Yes. We came to this realization after we had defeated the undead army. We were triumphant in the first battle but then he introduced himself via a cluster of dark clouds which helped to show that he has mastered the dark powers quite well. After an exchange of words, he summoned an army of shadows to test our mettle in battle. It took me a while to realize it but our opponent is quite the strategic kind. No matter whom the opponent is, he would rather try to gauge his opponent first before he does anything else. A tactic which he has already employed twice.COMMANDER KELLER : This might prove to be quite troublesome if you are right and we truly are up against a strategic mind.

GENERAL MULLIGAN : I call this meeting of Haven’s leaders and the representatives of the Holy knights to begin. Since you all so formally introduced yourself. It would not be good if we did not do the same to get ourselves acquainted, Don’t you agree commander ( He remarks with Alex obliging)ALEXANDER : I see no reasons why I should object so please go aheadGENERAL MULLIGAN : Alright then. I am General H. Mulligan. Commander in chief other Armed Forces and also leader of Haven. Nice to make your acquaintance.COMMANDER STANTON : I am Commander R. Stanton. High commander of the Armed Forces and second in command to the general in the leadership of this great nation. ( He remarks with a salute before casually taking his seat again)COMMANDER E.

Alexander and the thirteen warriors stood at the gates with several prying eyes setting sights on them as murmurs flew round, some where in awe of the presence of the knights, while others questioned the reason the knights had gathered in the capital on such short notice fearing for the worse as they spoke. Sounds of vehicles are heard coming from a distance after which a number of vehicles come to a halt close to where Alexander and his men were waiting. A couple of military men come out of the vehicles after which General Mulligan and a suited woman come out from the same vehicle. Alexander sets his eyes on the lady with Mulligan and is taken aback by her beauty; She wore a black suit jacket on top of a purple blouse with a black corporate skirt and black heels to match, her hair shone a dark brown color and was tired in a horse tail style. Her eyes were covered as she wore shades and a beautiful emerald necklace hung around her neck.Alex has his eyes on the lady for

Of course my plan yielded results ( He remarks with a smirk as he rose from his seat)SHIVA : What do you mean?? ( She asks a bit upset with how Drake had addressed her)DRAKE / SHADOW KING : Listen carefully; yes I do admit that my plan to see the thirteen in action so as to be able to gauge their abilities was not a complete success but there is no way you can call it a failure as we were able to get a sneak peek at nine artilleries which is just as rewarding, don’t you think??

MEANWHILE BACK ON THE BATTLEFIELDAlexander is seated atop his horse, stationed at the middle of the battle with the ground on which he stood raised a bit higher than the surrounding. Alex stares intently at the battle before him as he rummages through his thoughts, he doesn’t draw his sword neither does he make a move as he shifted his gaze towards the dark horizon. He tightens his grip on his straddle before finally setting himself at easeALEXANDER : Enough!!!! ( He yells out at the top of his lungs halting the attacks of the knights as his voice echoed across the battlefield )…. Retreat!! ( He orders with the Holy knights staring at him wide eyed at his order)HOLY KNIGHT #7 : Did the commander just tell us to retreat or am I hearing wrongly?? ( She asks in surprise)HOLY KNIGHT #9 : You aren’t the only one who heard that, what the hell is the commander thinking?? ( He questions as he held onto his weapons)ALEXANDER : Fall b
Arthur runs through a cluster of shadows, wielding Excalibur in hand as it glowed with a golden hue. The creatures were repelled by the light and could not take a hold of his as any attempt ended with a shaped creature burned to a crisp. Arthur does not care for the small fries as he runs towards something much bigger; a shadow monster the size of a sky scraper was moving onto short and he knew that it would pose a serious threat to the knights if it got into the battlefield. The monster notices Arthur’s dash and sends more shadows his way but Arthur slices through it with one strike of his blade as he leaps into the air and sends an arc of energy straight at the creature, his attack does so much as to cause the creature pain as it screeched in a loud voice upon impact but it didn’t slow it’s movement as it soon recovered from the blow and reached out for Arthur who was still in mid airARTHUR : Shit!! ( Arthur exclaims as he attempts to
