" this is spoken"

\\ and this is said on television\\

well now lets start the story.

Bounded by evil

**********************

Victory is gained,

When the holy four are in their shrine.

Their powers never were so great,

Enemies will stand no chance.

Water in the North, Earth in the East,

Fire in the South and Air in the West.

To secure the excistance of Heaven, Hell and Assiah,

They must fight the guardians of the holy ground.

Many tried, but all have died,

When our greatest foe threatens to destroy all.

They must take the risk and face their fears,

Before the final moment comes and all break down in tears.

***********************

- Down in Assiah-

A young woman walked down the streets late at night. Suddenly she heard a noise coming from an alley. Not being able to control her curiosity she went back to check what had made the sound.

" Hello?... Is someone here?"

When she almost reached the end of the alley she saw a gigantic creature bend over the dead bodies of three men and two women. She gasped in shock. The creature heard this and turned around. He immediatly lunged at the woman, who for some reason couldn't move.

// Those black piercing eyes...//

Very swiftly the creature grew huge razor sharp nails and killed the woman with one clean swipe in the neck. It hit a main vein and the woman's blood gushed over the creature's face. Then she slumped down on the ground. The creature licked up the blood that dripped down its face. Suddenly it created a horrible sound, probably a laugh and said in a deep voice that seemed to be a mix of a growl and a hiss.

" Master... the day will come that we live on earth and the angels and demons will be ours to do with as we wish."

With a last horrible laugh it disappeard in thin air.

--next morning-

\\ ...Now to the headlines of the news.  The bodies of three men and three women were found in an alley yesterday at noon.  All were killed by a clean swipe to the neck. This brings the total of dead from the last week to 25. because there are other simular murders the police suspects that this is the work of a serial killer and advises everyone to be very cautious...\\

" Man, Setsuna don't ya think this is weird?" asked Katou

" Yeah, I do, and I can see that they were not killed by another human." Answerd Setsuna.

Katou, Setsuna and Sara were sitting on a bench close to a television shop that was currently broadcasting the news on all the screens in the window-display. After the war Alexiel's soul had left Setsuna's body forever. The same happened with Gabriel's soul and Sara's body.

" You think the angels or the demons have something to do with this?" asked Sara

" I don't know." Said Setsuna " But I doubt it."

- - In Sheol-

 Through the corridors of the palace the footsteps of someone running were heard. A figure turned around the corner and headed towards a door and quickly walked through  it . Inside the room the person saw Lucifer, his back turned towards the door. He was not even paying attention to the fact the door was open and didn't look up when the person who had just entered spoke.

" Lucifer-sama, there are again four dead"

" Damn it, you can go, Belial"

" Lucifer-sama, one of them is Asmodeus."

" What!? That is impossible. One of the seven satans?"

Lucifer turned around to look at Mad hatter. His smartass-smirk was, for once, not playing around his lips. His face looked like that of someone who was worried. In the last week nineteen high class demons were killed and now also one of the seven satans.

" Does anyone have an idea or a clue of who this might be?"

" At the beginning of the attacks some believed it was your brother..."

// Michael?... No, that's impossible.//

" But now everyone is sure that that is very unlikely."

" How is the Gehenna empire doing?"

" There have been several murders but princes Kurai has taken precautions"

" Good, you can leave"

With that he turned away again. Belial knew that the conversation had ended. She bowed, then turned and left the room, leaving Lucifer alone with his toughts.

// These things can kill one of the seven satans. This is really getting dangerous.//

- - In Heaven-

// I can't believe they made me guard the damn borders! It's not my fault if angels die...//

Michael was pulled out of his thoughts by a sound

" Who the fuck is there? Haven't ya heard it's forbidden to come out after dark?"

A figure appeard out of nowhere and jumped on Michael, causing the angel to fall on the ground.  The archangel was able to push of the creature and quickly he crawled back to his feet.

" What the hell are ya?"

The creature of course didn't answer but just lunged for Michael again. Quickly he pulled out his sword and blocked the claws of the thing with it. After fighting for a couple of minutes the creature was able to stab Michael in the shoulder and then it slashed his chest open.

// Damn it! You will not win this fight!//

Michael got back to his feet and grabbed his sword again. A little puddle of blood was starting to form where angel of fire stood. The creature grinned and again lunged towards the wounded angel who raised his sword while pressing one hand to his chest, trying to stop the bleeding a bit.

// Fuck! I'm gonna faint from blood loss if I don't finish this fast.//

Michael took a good hold of his sword and waited for the perfect moment to strike. The creature thought he had given up the fight and moved in for the kill. Michael raised his sword and plunged it in the creature, close to it's heart. He pushed the sword completly through. He looked at the creature and gave it a smirk that would've scared away the devil... If the devil wasn't his brother. The creature let out a high-pitched shriek and exploded into a fountain of blood. For a moment Michael stood there looking at the place where his attacker had been a few seconds ago. He heard the other angels coming closer to where he was standing. He even didn't have enough strenght to lift his sword, the fight really had asked all he had.  Suddenly his vision blurred, his sword fell to the ground with a loud thud and he collapsed. When the other angels arrived at the battlefield they saw the archangel. Lying on the ground, not moving. They scanned the suroundings to see if it wasn't a trap. When they didn't see anything suspicous they went to help the unconcious angel.

"Master Michael" Kamael said walking towards his superior

When he reached the battered figure of the archangel he saw his chest was rising and falling with a lot of effort. He noticed most of the blood was a very dark red, almost black.  He knew Michael's blood was just plain red so he figured the unconsious angel he had just picked up had killed one of the creatures. One of the other angels had picked up Michael's sword and started to walk towards the others. When Kamael reached the other angels he told them to go to the house of the great powers.

" I will  take him to Master Raphael."
