Chapter Nine

The army of Takhisis filled the valley outside the gates to Lucifer's domain. She rode on the red dragon with her king as she stared at the mountainous wall of gates. On the other side of the gates stood the army of Lucifer there were demons at least a hundred thick behind him. She could make out the survivors of the battle three weeks ago. The past three weeks were her and her generals going over more and more strategies, for this battle. He was the most powerful as he was the ruler of the underworld that had the most followers. Her gaze shifted as she looked up and saw not only winged demons but the angels of God as he had joined this battle.

Takhisis smiled, as it was a futile attempt to stave off the inevitable. She would have this realm as well! Once this realm fell, she would move up to earth and finally heaven! She would be the only God to rule here and her word would be law. She stood on the back of the red dragon behind Seth. She then jumped high above the red. As she fell, she morphed into the five-headed dragon and took flight. She hovered in front of her generals her foot soldiers at the ready her dragon army awaiting her orders.

"I HAVE COME TO CLAIM WHAT IS MINE!" She began as far as she was concerned she had won the underworld all of it when she defeated the other rulers.

"YOU CANNOT CLAIM WHAT YOU DO NOT HAVE DAUGTHER OF CHAOS!" Takhisis looked through the throng of cheering demons and displaced gods.

Her ten eyes narrowed as a demon the size of her dragon form appeared behind the gates crowded with Lucifer's demons. The demon spread its wings and took flight he though stayed behind the gates but his taunting did not cease. Takhisis scowled as he was met by other winged demons one hundred times smaller and angels with flaming swords.

"WE OF HEAVEN AND HELL HAVE UNITED AGAINST YOU DAUGHTER OF CHAOS BUT ONLY UNTIL THE CHOSEN OF CHAOS CAN COME AND REMOVE YOU FROM OUR DOMAIN!" Takhisis raised an eyebrow on each dragons' head, as again a chosen of Chaos was thrown in her face.

"YOU SPEAK IN RIDDLES DEVIL! I AM THE CHOSEN OF CHAOS THERE IS NO OTHER!" Her patience was wearing of the verbal paring.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU ARE NOTHING! YOUR SIRE IS BUT A CHILD TO THE TRUE GOD OF ORDER AND CHAOS! YOU MIGHT WIN AGAINST MY WARRIORS AND ME BUT IT WILL BE A SHORT VICTORY! FOR YOU WILL WIN NOTHING MORE FROM US!" The king of demons ended his statement with a blast of energy that signaled the start of the battle.

The demon raised his hand and a fireball the size of Takhisis herself flew through the gates of hell and hit Takhisis square in her dragon chest. She was pushed back into her circle of generals. Her body was covered in demon fire. Her screams filled the valley below as the demon fire burned as it engulfed her. The demon fire was not like dragon fire as she had in immunity to it. It burned for nearly twenty minutes as her fight to put it out finally ended her torture.

"ATTACK!" She gasped as she moved forward fighting the pain of the burns.

Takhisis headed straight for the demon Lucifer as he insulted her and had done what only Huma had been able to do before him, that was to hurt her! As the gates of hell opened, the warriors of the underworld surged forward to meet Takhisis' army head on. It was not an easy battle for either side. Winged demons and angels fought the dragon warriors while those on the valley floor fought the foot soldiers. This battle was not won or lost quickly. Unlike the first battle that lasted only a day or two this battle went on for well over a week or more.

Many times the dragon generals were hit. However, their dragon armor had protected them. Their mounts fought for their queen and in some cases ignored the orders of their riders when they felt the orders would cause harm to the Dark Queen. Kiima flew low over her soldiers directing them in their battles acting as a back up when needed. She split her fighting between the aerial battles and helping her foot soldiers.

As the battle begun to end, Takhisis pushed back the demon lord's army she moved slowly with her warriors through the gates and into the last bastion of hell that she had not yet taken. As the army followed her, the green platoon followed close behind their queen with Kiima leading them into the final stages of the war for the underworld.

Once the army of Takhisis made it through the gates, the behemoth demon sounded the retreat. This time however there was no warriors left behind for Takhisis to deal with. As she entered the throne room of Lucifer her scream was heard through the halls of hell as before he left Lucifer had not only destroyed his throne preventing her the right to sit upon it he destroyed the entire room and every room in his portion of the underworld. He had in effect preventing her from claiming her right to the spoils of the battle. For the war was not yet over.

Takhisis raged through the halls of Lucifer's underworld and with each of her five dragon heads, she destroyed the rubble left in the wake of the fleeing demon. Finally, she returned to the throne room the puddles of slag glowing from everywhere in the palace of Lucifer. There were puddles of molten rock, acid, and ice while clouds of poisonous gas and rocks of metal compounds sparked with lightening.

"REBUILD MY THRONE NOW!" The soldiers moved quickly as Takhisis sent a bolt of lightning at the crowd of her foot soldiers.

"I WILL NOT BE INSULTED OR BEATEN!" She screamed as she morphed back to her humanoid form.
