Paimon rushes towards Elijah and both men continue their battle with renewed vigor, both men keep on exchanging blows with Elijah keeping pace with Paimon and his onslaught, Paimon tries to punch Elijah but success in hitting the ground causing a crater with Elijah going behind him and connecting with his side using his feet, Paimon is seen struggling to get back to his feet has he begins to crawl away with Elijah following closely behind
PAIMON No, not yet… it can’t end like this, I won’t defeated by a mere mortal!!!!
ELIJAH : Tch… Heavenly art : ball of spiraling light
Paimon turns to face Elijah but is greeted with a close range attack has Elijah moves towards him with immense speed and connects the ball in his right hand with Paimon’s guts, The attack is massive has it sends a huge amount of energy through Paimon and destroys the earth behind him with Paimon screaming at the impact and immense pain caused by the attack having a direct hit
ELIJAH : I guess in the end it didn’t really matter that you were an earl, although I should thank you for underestimating me so greatly
PAIMON : …..
ELIJAH : Now go back to the hellish kingdom you crawled out of
Elijah pulls his hand from Paimon to reveal a large hole at the area his attack had connected with Paimon, Paimon coughs and falls head first into the ground has his body began to turn to dust
ELIJAH : Rest in pieces
UNKNOWN FIGURE : Well, well, well, would you look at that… you actually defeated an earl of hell all on your own, that’s indeed a huge feat
Elijah stops in his tracks has he heard the voice and turns to see who had spoken
ELIJAH : Who’s there??
UNKNOWN FIGURE : Oh my, forgive my manners… I completely forgot to introduce myself
A dark figure drops down not too far from where Elijah stood, when the figure arose Elijah could finally make out its physical appearance; the figure was quite humanoid with a few alterations like having a horn protruding from the middle of his forehead, also there were horns protruding out of his elbows with his skin having tiny bumps throughout, his irises where red, his nails seemed like those of a wild beast with a wicked smile on his face…
UNKNOWN FIGURE : My name is Draco, I am a member of the NAMED
ELIJAH : Draco??... I don’t think I know you and what the hell is the Named??
DRACO : Oh you do know me, I go by another name actually, The Dragon of Christian lore, the one who pulled down a third of the heavens, ring any bells yet??
ELIJAH : Wait what ( with shock in his eyes)
DRACO : No need to be so shocked, I watched your battle with Paimon and I must say I am impressed… it’s quite a shame that I just have to end you here, I would have loved to see you grow stronger, but then orders are orders…
ELIJAH : I’m not going down that easily ( regaining his composure)
DRACO : I would have it no other way
Elijah charges towards Draco and they clash with an explosive force….
[ FACTS : *THE NAMED ARE A SET OF THE MOST POWERFUL DEMONS IN HELL, SECOND IN POWER ONLY TO THE PRINCES OF HELL, THEIR POWER IS SO GREAT THAT THE MOST POWERFUL OF THEM ARE CAPABLE OF CHALLENGING THE AUTHORITY OF THE DEMON PRINCES, THEY DO NO CARE MUCH ABOUT TITLES AND SO DO NOT BOTHER THEMSELVES WITH IT, THEY ARE DANGEROUS AND POWERFUL TO SAY THE LEAST… SOME MEMBERS OF THIS FEARSOME GROUP INCLUDE; THE DRAGON, THE BEAST OR 666( SIX), LILITH, ABADDON, BABYLON, GOG AND MAGOG, MEPHISTOPHELES etc….. ]
AT THE CHURCH
More explosions has the battle raged on more intensely, the church seems to have been covered on all sides by large concrete walls has the Holy knights seems to have rejoined the action seeing that the chosen were having a field day with the demon army; Diane mauls through the army with relentless force, wielding two icicles which she used like blades to cut down demons that stood in her path, the battle had spread a wide area in front of the church, the area spanning a small city even…
The demon army is beaten back to the point of their generals having to consider retreating, but soon enough the battle comes to a halt at the appearance of a darkness in the sky, it took the shape of a dark cloud before finally parting to reveal a portal within it, an object falls out from the portal and lands but too far from where the chosen had rallied, soon enough they realize that it was not an object that had fallen at all but the lifeless body of Elijah with hole where his heart was supposed to be, the chosen are awe struck at the sight of their vice captain laying lifeless on the ground with the Holy knights trembling in fear, before anyone can speak another object comes out from the portal but that soon turns out to be Draco flying above them with his dragon wings outstretched at full length
DRACO : Well hello everyone, I really was shocked when I was awoken from my slumber to come and assist you lot but I never realized that this humans channeling divine power would actually be so much of a threat to summon a member of the Named to help out, anyways I’m here now which is quite bad for every single human that is still in this vicinity, I’ll give y’all a chance to run before I attack
HAROLD : Elijah….. Are you the one that did this to Elijah?? ( staring at Draco with rage in his eyes)
DRACO : Unfortunately yes, he was a fine warrior… such a shame he had to meet such a pitiful end
HAROLD : Thank you for being honest, now I’ll make you pay with your life….Heavenly art : aegis
Harold covers himself with the lightening shield and launches himself towards Draco at near light speed but Draco easily dodges his punch and lands a kick on his own, which launches Harold a neat two hundred meters away from the battlefield, the other chosen driven by anger, sadness and grief immediately attack Draco from all sides with Draco finally having to land so it would be a grounded battle, the fight goes on for a little while with the Holy knights and demons backing away from the intense battle.
The chosen stand around Draco heaving from exhaustion but it would seem as though Draco had not been touched neither had he tried to actually fight back
DIANE : Who’s this guy??... We attacked him all at once yet he hasn’t suffered a single scratch neither did any of our attacks touch him, it almost seems like he’s toying with us for the fun of it ( muttering to herself with heavy breath)
DRACO : I would be quite disappointed if that’s all the members of the church’s elite fighting group known as the chosen can offer in a battle against me, I mean Elijah put up more of a fight than you lot, I guess I realize now why he had to relocate his battle with Paimon from this battlefield, he was worried that you’d get hurt, that’s quite sad actually…. Anyways now that you all have attacked without success, it’s my turn
A huge surge of energy from Draco blasts the chosen back with extreme force, the chosen struggle to get to their feet but their luck seems to have fun out has a large stake rams through the chest of Diane, killing her instantly
LINCOLN : Diane!!!!
CELIA : No…
A blue streak is seen from afar moving towards Draco’s location at supersonic speed, Draco readies himself for a clash as Harold turns out to be the reason for the streak, both clash with Harold getting flung back at the sheer force of the collision
DRACO : This is getting boring…
HAROLD : How dare you kill our friends??.... I’ll make you pay with your life ( rushing at him with renewed vigor)
The chosen completely lose their cool and attack Draco with murderous intent from all sides…..
THE CHAPELNUN #1 : Congratulations Mrs. Creed, you’ve giving birth to a bouncing baby boyMARTHA : Thank you… can I hold him please??NUN #2 : Of course ( has she hands over the baby to Martha)MARTHA : He has his father’s eyes but I do wonder where he got the white hair from, I know it’s not from my family tree ( she says amidst a tired laugh)MIDWIFE : You should lay down to rest now, we would be leaving shortlyThe women are about to continue their little chatter when the building they are in begins to tremble with immense force, Martha sits upright in bed has the trembling continuesMARTHA : What exactly is going on out there… ( with a tensed look on her face)NUN #1 : Lord held us… ( she does a sign of the cross across her face )A holy knight barges into the chapel covered in blood with exasperation on his face, the nuns and midwife are struck

SERAYAH : Fighting you guys can get really annoying…. ( she says as she took down a couple of adversaries with a swipe of her blade)Serayah rushes forward cutting left and right with her blade with little effort being wasted downing the demons that stood in her path, she stood still when she realized she was surrounded on all sidesDEMON #5 : What are you going to do now, scumDEMON #6 : Die like the scum you are… ( several of the demons around her create sharpened poles made out of hell fire and proceed to throw it at her)SERAYAH : Tch, not on your life….. Heavenly art : Embodiment of the seraph – first formBright flames come down from the heavens and engulf Serayah in a bright blaze that disintegrated all the poles hurled at her and caused the demons surrounding her to go back a bit, a minute passes by with the demons getting curious to what had happened but it’s not long before the fla
The battle is spread across the island as the apostles use Agares and his forces to let off pent off steam, the intensity of their attacks affected the landscape with numerous explosions erupting around the island from the places which the apostles fought. Agares stood afar watching the battle unfold with the apostles destroying his forces with little or no difficulty at allAGARES : Tch… these humans are quite the challenge to overcome, I wonder why I was chosen to take out such a troublesome bunchSIRIUS : Agares!!!!... ( He yells as he charges towards Agares with immense force, ripping apart everything in his path)Before Agares can react, Sirius lands a blow that launches the earl a few hundred meters away, causing destruction to the earth as he flew past and causing a massive explosion at the point of impact where Agares had stopped with the earl coughing at the force of the blow, Agares manages to get up to his fe
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 faceSIRIUS : 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 authorityAGARES : 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 easeSIRIUS : Is that the fastest you can go??...

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. ( She remarks with a worried look on her face)SAMSON : Truth be told, we had no idea that was what he w
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

DRAKE / SHADOW KING : I can’t believe it ( He remarks with a mixed expression of shock and interest on his face )… he destroyed my shadows in one hit, quite impressiveSHIVA : I had warned you that your gamble would not tiled the results you intended, master ( She says matter of factly )DRAKE / SHADOW KING : Oh please be quiet Shiva, do not talk in such a foolish manner. 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
