Chapter One (When the Levee Breaks)

"W-What does it say?" Fitz stammered, looking at the stone slate that Coulson held in his hands.

Coulson shook his head, "I don't know, it's all in Latin. I can't read it."

The strange, stone tablet read as followed, 'In superemae nocte luna plenissima, et aperientur portae infororum desolationem incipiam.'

"We find a mysterious tablet, in the middle of a crater, and we can't read what the hell it says?" Ward asked. "That's just great."

"Hold on," Skye said, placing her laptop on the side of the Holocom table. "My computer has a translating program. We can just put the stuff on this stone into the computer and see what it has to say."

"Then do it." May said. "This stone has to be important if it made that loud of a sound."

That was true, the team was stopping to refuel before heading back to the Playground when something shook the Bus. They had gone outside and not too far from them was a massive, smoking crater holding the stone slate.

After a few minutes, the translation was done.

"Alright this is what it says," Skye said. She began to read aloud "'On the night of the fullest moon, the gates of Hell will be opened and desolation will begin.'"

"Hell?" Simmons asked.

"Is it basically saying Armageddon?" Ward asked. "'Cause that's what it sounds like."

"I don't know." Coulson said. "We don't even know where this stone came from, so we don't know if this is true."

"But the gates of Hell?" Fitz asked. "What does that mean?"

"Maybe literally the gates of Hell." Coulson said. "We don't know. Maybe this is a metaphor for something else."

"Like what?" Skye asked. "I don't know what that could be a metaphor for. Maybe it's demons." she said. "Maybe demons are coming to destroy the world."

Ward rolled his eyes, "Please, there's no such thing as demons."

"Maybe, maybe not." May said. "We don't want to take any chances."

"She's right." Coulson added in. "This could be made up or true. But something like that doesn't just fall out of the sky and be made up. This needs to be investigated, before everything literally goes to Hell."


(About Five Years Later.)

Ward ran into the abandoned warehouse room, slamming the door behind him. He spread salt at the base of the door and dropped to the ground in exhaustion and the other side of the room.

'How long has it been?' he thought. 'About five years? I don't know anymore. After the gates of Hell opened and demons flooded into this world, everything went south.'

I got separated from the team about a year and a half ago. I can't find them since the world's communications are limited and it's hard to get a signal. Food and supplies are running low, I'm gonna have to make a run for somewhere else eventually to find supplies.'

Half of the world is decimated almost, and you can't trust anyone. Anyone can be possessed, that's what led this world to destruction, it caused World War Three. Nobody is safe, the only things keeping us alive is our weapons and newfound knowledge. Let's hope that it is enough.'

Ward let his head rest against the slimy, brick wall and he eventually fell into an uneasy slumber.


Everything had gone to Hell. About a week after the team had found the stone tablet, the moon had grown blood red and a massive earthquake had occurred, the gates of Hell had been thrown wide open and every single demon had escaped into the human realm.

The demons had quickly taken possession of the humans they could, a lot of them important political figures, and had caused World Ward Three by the end of the year. Half of the planet was decimated and a third of the populated killed.

There wasn't an end in sight for this mess, and the end would probably be the full destruction of the world. But not if somebody could stop it.


Author's Note: I don't own AoS, Marvel does. I decided to do another story since my other one wasnt doing too well. This is sort of Supernatural based, but won't contain any of the characters (but the chapter title When the Levee Breaksis a Supernatural episode title from season four.). I dont know if the Latin i used is correct since I used Google translate to do it. I hope you enjoy! Keep reading and PLEASE review! I have good hopes for this story! ~AwakeAndAliveSpartan.
