Re-doing first couple of chapters because I just don't like them :p

Summary: Before legends were written, and humans walked the Earth, a war has raged between Heaven and Hell. This had occurred once the Lord and Lucifer had been branded with those names. Though many do not know the reason why this ember of war ignited, they also do not question thy rule.

Life is not an exception. Death on the other hand takes his time at a leisurely pace. Both of their protectors worry for them. Jane is Life's protector, although Jane would rather call Life by her other allies; Amy. She is a pink rosy angel, but has a short temper. While Amy rather do her work, Jane would rather play some game.

Tails is Death's protector, but calls him Sonic. Though he takes his time and views nothing of importance, he can sometimes be fast in mind and quick on his feet. Though Tails sometimes ends up covering for Sonic, they still call each other brothers.

Even with what seems to be a very peaceful existence, no one could fathom why the war was still into place. This is, until another God stepped in; changing the war into something far more simple and with less casualties. Who would've known Sonic and Amy would have rather given up life and death instead of playing this 'game.'

pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp pppppppppppppqppppppppp

Amy's P.O.V.

"Amy, I'm bored." Jane cried from across the room. "Nothing fun has happened recently and your battle with Death is soon approaching."

"I understand that friend, but I must follow my destiny. Soon Life will die and Death be reborn. If I don't take extra precautions now, everyone here will be in danger. "

"But Amy, that means you won't be able to be reborn!" she complained. "Even through all of the life's I've been through, I like the one the best! I'm going to miss you if you die, so why don't you take a day off an play with me?" I sighed and looked at Jane with tired eyes.

"I value your opinion Jane, but I am not able to fully recognize it. Friend, if I were to experience this fun and play with you, will I not be able to confide with my fate? If I were to regret and turn around at the last moment, that would also mean the end of me." This argument was not going to end with me losing. It never did.

Either it was the tone of my voice or the weary look in my eyes that Jane decided to drop the argument.

"I understand." She muttered with a defeated voice. Her voice quickly changed into a motorized monotone voice. "It is now 10:45a.m. Heavens time. You should make your way to the Holy Shrine to meet with the God of Life." I nodded and left my room. On my way to the shrine I attempted to minimize eye contact and avoid conversation amongst others. I wanted to keep this "little to no connections" I had until my fated day.

As I walk into the Shrine, My gods assistants greeted me. My God did otherwise.

"Shall I have you to a new teacher on manners? Or maybe you have just forgotten to knock?" The God of Life smiled at me. Of course I did not want to go into schooling again.

"My apologies. I was lost in mind and overlooked that simple task. I said warily but with a smile. I tired implementing the word simple just in case he was actually considering on me retaking classes again.

"What might be on thou mind?" He asked.

"Essentially, my protector and I had a small argument. It was relatively easy to seize and end, so we will continue our day with no more disputes."

"Yet you were unable to remember such simple etiquette, so it must have been more to this quarrel ." I caught that he had emphasized the word simple as did I a moment ago. Smiling at me, I knew he wanted me to explain. Without sighing, I explained to him.

"My protector asked me to play with her again today. I had to clarify the reasons on why I could not have been taken away from my studies for such trivial matters." My God did not smile at my response this time.

"Life, do not take my words lightly and listen to these wise words. Though you have an important duty to carry, do not consider you carry that weight on your own. Thou protector is your shield yet also your comrade. She also carries thy fate and witnesses the struggles thou have face. Now considering your studies, I will have you to 2 mornings till eve's of Jamie's biddings. You may not now know, however, the many objects around you may come in need in the future."

"Yes my Lord." I frowned but agreed. My God was almost certainly sending Jane a message at this moment of this matter. This was going to be a though 2 days.

"Now, for what I have scheduled you for." He started. "In regards to your previous duties, there has been a change."

"A change? I am afraid I do not understand."I was suddenly very anxious and held my breath. Did Hell suddenly take a different course of action? Were my few days left limiting?

"The God in the midst of Heaven and Hell has announce a new plan in this warfare." I exhaled.

"The Amid God?"

"Correct. Thou, thy God of Death and I have been gathering for the past few millenniums to discuss on how to end this pointless struggle. We had many proposals, however we have decided to take this course of action."

"Wait, but I cannot comprehend what you are trying to explain to me."

"In time I will be able to explain to you, but for now I will simply put it as, a 'contest.'"He smiled at me once more.

:.:.:.

Sonic's P.O.V.

As soon as I woke up from my nap, I could hear the wailing of crows and screaming of humans passing on to Hell. Nothing could compare to sleeping near the Gate of Hell. Before I knew it, someone was walking towards me. They looked up the tree at me and greeted me.

"Just woke up from a nap?" Tails asked. I jumped down.

"Yeah. So what's up? What's the time?"

"It's 12:45p.m. Hells time. You haven't been sleeping for that long." He told me. "Anyway, I came to tell you something for the Death God." Just hearing that name made me want to punch a tree. It was probably the same reason why He didn't just call me in, in the first place.

"What is it?" I asked in an annoyed tone. Tails rested his arms behind his head.

"I'm not exactly sure, but apparently you need to play this game with heavens tops dogs before the Gods make some final decision on something."

"That's very vague." I responded.

"Yeah, I guess in two more days we'll get more info or something." He said while shrugging.

"Anything new in this place and I'll be damn grateful!" Hell was enormous, but with little things to do. On top of that, my God didn't let me travel out a lot. Considering that I am a devil myself, of course I challenged his rule, but I won't lie on how damn scary he can get.

"Be careful what you wish for. I'm not looking forward to this, and it'll probably be too noisy for you anyway." He said turning, about to leave.

"What, you tryin' to challenge me?" I stepped forward.

"Sure. I guess. 50 rings says you're not going to like what happens. And just to say, I only know as much as you do, so there are no rabbit holes." I held out my hand and he shook it.

"Deal." I said.

So maybe this chapter is just meant to be short. It is just the opening, so maybe it'll be okay. That or I should just not use the old chapters as a reference. Anyway, sorry for the long intro. I actually cut it short 'cause I realized I would be restating some of the things the later chapters already say. so... review maybe? Hope you enjoy the rest of the story, I'm only re-doing a few more chapters.
