The portal glowed a spelling binding purple as it was being summoned. For the past three weeks, both sides had been training very hard and today was the day that would decide if Heaven was all power or if Hell was all power. Both sides were nervous and many of the demons and angels didn't want the war.
However, no one was more worried than Lucifer, the man was worried sick about his sons in Hell, but his son in Heaven was going through a huge crisis right now, due to Jehovah's barbaric training, he was become completely turned into a monster. He hasn't spoken a word to Lucifer ever since his memories were erased and Jehovah was the only person that he would talk to, or rather listen to. His eyes had lost their bright blue color and were replaced by a navy blue that was darker than the night sky.
His once jingly laughter hasn't been heard for a long time and his body was growing worse. Lucifer had watched Nowaki train for 3 days straight without food or rest. Jehovah suggested that this was 'a part of the training' and that there was nothing to worry about. Lucifer wanted to poison the stupid man, kick him, punch him, skin him and do all the terrible things that he could name. What Jehovah was doing to Nowaki right now was inhumane and a crime.
And that was not all, Jehovah had been harassing Lucifer ever since he stepped foot into Heaven. When Lucifer was sleeping, Jehovah would climb into his bed and wrap his arms around him as if they were lovers. Only a few days ago when Lucifer was trying to cook some chicken soup for Nowaki to possibly drink, Jehovah grabbed the demon by behind and that caused Lucifer to drop the entire pan of soup, making all his hard work go to waste.
And it wasn't like he hadn't been in contact with his sons at all, Lucifer had managed to find a way to send letters back to his sons without Jehovah knowing. Every night, Lucifer would summon the portal and then put a reverse spell on it, making it so that any object could go through, just not a demon or angel.
And on the other side, everything was going pretty well. Samuel's training strategies were working fairly well and even he could say that the demons were getting stronger. Misaki was able to use his powers to carry heavy objects and he was able to create a force should that protects anyone that is behind him. Shinobu was now able to burn objects and make fireballs that shot exactly to where he wanted them too. Said boy was very proud of himself and was grinning like an idiot the entire time that Samuel was complimenting him.
Misaki opened his eyes and closed them again to make sure that this wasn't all just one big nightmare. But it was real, too real. He was standing in the front row of the Hell army and in front of him was Nowaki, who was giving off a murderous aura. Misaki gulped. Samuel himself was fighting Jehovah while Lucifer will not be fighting at all. Everyone had agreed that Lucifer will be the general for both sides and order the war.
The rules of war were that no injured one should be hurt and the ones that put down their weapons and surrender will not be hurt. If either side disobeys the orders then that side will be given a penalty. Samuel had told Misaki that war was actually much like a game of sports. If the ball is in the field then you continue playing, if the ball is out then the game will be paused and then the other team will get the ball. It goes the same for war, the ball in war is the soldiers. If the soldiers stay in the battle everything will be fine, but if a soldier gets hurt then the other side will have an advantage.
Lucifer took out a scroll from on top of his night horse and cleared his throat.
"Today, April 18, 20XX marks the start of the great war that shall only be ended when one side has killed one of the other sides' officials. To those who do not know, officials are the ones in the front row and if one of them is killed then the war is over. This war shall only be taken place on the clouds and only the officials will be able to take take the battle into the orange high skies. On the count of three, I declare this war started," Lucifer said as he placed the scroll away and started the countdown.
"One," he counted as the soldiers on both sides put down the helmets on their heads.
"Two," he counted as the soldiers on both sides raised their swords.
"Three," he counted as both sides lunged forward and blood was scattered on the ground. It was a terrible sight to look at and Lucifer thought that all this was unnecessary. He may be the devil but he has some heart. The innocent people that are involved should not be and each side that wins should be ashamed of killing another. He watched as Hiroki, Shinobu, and Misaki all took on Nowaki, for Lucifer had told them about what had happened to the man.
Samuel had brought his wings up into the sky and Jehovah soon followed. Samuel smirked as he made the first move which was also the most important move in any battle. It would tick your opponent off and give you a major head start. Jehovah dodged it and then hissed, so this was how much Samuel had improved him his skills. Quickly muttering a spell, Samuel was thrown back on the ground and they continued to fight there.
"Virtutem patientiæ meæ, et qui benedixerit tibi sanguine diro occiderunt," Misaki chanted as Nowaki on the ground held down by Hiroki and Shinobu. He growled as he tried to reach for his sword but it was kicked away by Hiroki. The man tried not to look at his lover who was right now not in his correct state of mind.
"We should knock him out for now," Hiroki said as he watched Nowaki struggle in his grasp. It was painful for him to look at the one who used to hug him and shower him with loving kisses like this. Misaki took the man's idea and then put a sleeping spell on Nowaki. Immediately the light was knocked out of the man and he was asleep on the ground. They sighed and then decided to go and help the other demons. Akihiko and Miyagi were currently fighting the members of the royal council of Heaven.
Uriel and Raguel were fighting Akihiko while Michael and Gabriel are fighting Miyagi. Everything was bloody and soon, about ⅓ of the angels and demons were dead. However, none of the officials were dead yet. Lucifer was watching from the highest cliff of the battlefield and was getting worried. At this rate, someone would really die. He hoped that everyone would defend themselves well and soon get tired.
"Ugh!" Miyagi hissed as Michael's sword went through his shirt, barely slicing his rib cage. Shinobu lunged forward and knocked Michael out in the head. He was about to stab his sword into the angel for hurting his lover until he was stopped by Miyagi who had a stern look.
"There is no need for you to kill," Miyagi said as punched Gabriel who was trying to sneak up on him from the back. The angel fell to the ground with a thud with blood coming out of his nose. Akihiko walked over with Misaki who was panting. They had just finished with Uriel and Raguel and it seemed that everything was going well.
Samuel was still fighting with Jehovah, who was starting to get annoyed. Samuel never really used his sword to fight him, he used his sword to dodge every one of his attacks and every time Samuel dodged one of his attacks, a smirk was slapped onto his face. It was as if he was waiting for a moment to strike and while he was doing that, he was teasing the commander angel.
"You imbecile, all you can do is dodge my attacks," Jehovah hissed as Samuel smirked and flew higher up into the now darkening sky to avoid another attack.
"At least that proves that your sword skills are not good enough to kill me," Samuel shrugged as a flew towards Jehovah at light's speed and placed the sword at his neck. Jehovah narrowed his eyes and then elbowed Samuel into the stomach, causing the demon to choke and fall to the ground. Akihiko and Miyagi tried to go help him, but since they were both the commanders of the war, others were not allowed to interfere.
From the cliff, Lucifer watched everything. Every motion, every move, he was able to see everything. He was able to see….Nowaki? The blue-haired man had recovered from the spell and was now getting up from his sleep. He had his sword in his hands and he was walking towards Hiroki. Lucifer widened his eyes and then flew down.
However, he was not quick enough as Nowaki stabbed the sword into Hiroki's back, with black blood oozing out. Hiroki coughed for a few seconds, not knowing where the pain came from until he turned around and saw Nowaki with his hands on the sword handle, breathing heavily. Misaki gasped and then ran over to his brother.
Nowaki breathed in and out, trying to get some air into his lungs and then everything went white. When he opened his eyes again, he had regained his mind and when he saw what was in his hands, he realized that his worse nightmare has become true.
"THE WAR IS OVER, I REPEATED OVER!" Lucifer yelled into the battlefield and everyone stopped. Samuel widened his eyes and so did everyone else. They never thought that Hiroki would be the one to die.
"Hiro-san!" He gasped as he quickly withdrew the sword and he placed his hands over the wound. He muttered spells and spells as tears fell from his eyes and Hiroki's face becoming whiter and whiter.
"No...please don't leave me," Nowaki cried. Everything was like the simulation, everything. Why had he done this? Didn't he promise that he would never hurt the man? Jehovah flew down and then looked at his eldest son, this was his fault. Jehovah gulped, what had he done? He was supposed to be god and protect everyone, demon, angel, or human. Yet he created this war and now thousand of demons and angels are dead. One including his own son, his flesh, and blood.
"Move," Jehovah said as he made way through the crowd and kneeled in front of his son. Hiroki's face was trembling and his mouth was red with blood. Nowaki held the man's face in his hands and embraced him.
"Hiro-san, everything will be fine, please d-don't close your e-eyes," Nowaki said as he hugged Hiroki. Said man was feeling everything drift away. His eyesight was becoming black and his breath was slowly ceasing. Hiroki managed a small smile and then whispered something into Nowaki's ears.
"I-I love you, N-Nowa-," before Hiroki could finish, his breath was taken away and his breathing stopped. Nowaki felt the body in his hands grow cold and he stopped. Everything was over. Nowaki let the body go and he looked at it. He had done this, he used the sword and killed Hiroki. Nowaki scanned the battlefield and then spotted a sword, he reached for it and was about to stab himself when….
