Xcalibur -A NEW WORLD- Ch. XX (A Brother's Return pt. 2: Morningstar & Demiurge)
This is Xcalibur -A NEW WORLD- Season 2: Years of War
Sisters: LINCOLN!
Ludociel/Lincoln: Thank you for buying us time. Now, time to engage in this war! I AM LUDOCIEL "LINCOLN" EVANGELINE ANDREALPHAS LOUD! PREPARING FOR BATTLE!
Maderas: Nephilim! You came! All units attack him!
All of the demon units focused their forces on Lincoln and charged at him. Lincoln remained unmoved and focused as his then readies his katana at the units. The front of the charging units is nearing Lincoln but Lincoln readies to draw his sword. It was so fast, as fast as a blink of an eye that it seemed that the sword never left his scabbard. The fog of war suddenly disappeared and the frontal charging unit halts as Lincoln then is seen holding his katana, slightly drawn from the sheath. Lincoln then clicks the katana back to its scabbard and an after effect took place, a vortex of spatial cuts that minced the frontal units to death.
Lisa: Amazing power!
Luna: Look at him go!
Lynn: Go Stinkoln!
Lori: Literally unbelievable!
Leni: Like he's so good at this!
Maderas: How!? You're still a child! You can't simply learn to harness that power in an instance! It should have taken you until you are 18 years old!
Lincoln: Thanks to the Commandments that have awoken from my sisters and training, along with some pointers from past and other Nephilims that perished peacefully or at battles, I get to learn their secrets and power. I have now controlled such power.
Maderas: Even still you can't fight alone! You'll tire yourself and I will still have enough battalions to get you!
Lucy: He's not alone, demon.
Ronnie: That's right. This Lame-o got some help! Time to clean up this diablo!
Lincoln: Everyone, go help the others. I'll deal with Maderas myself.
Lana: But…
Johnny Phenex: You heard the boy! Some of you rest, we'll deal the others!
Tommy: You did good Benny, Luan but it's my turn.
Benny: I can't get used to that costume.
Luan: Dressed… like… a hero.
Benny: Don't force yourself to talk.
The tired fighters retreated and recuperate to Lana. The members of Ouroboros fights the demons that are still at the venue.
Johnny Phenex: Burn you sons of witches, BURN! [John is engulfed in flames with his motorcycle and performs a road rash at the attacking fiends]
Irene: Purge! [Irene points her rapier at a line of lesser demons and a light beam pierced at their bodies] Graceful yet poised in the name of the Druids.
Alex: Isa! Time to clean up!
Isa: Right behind you!
Alex jumps as Isaiah slams his claymore, creating a trail of ice that freezes his foes. Alex then focused his chakrams and tosses them, creating a fiery projectiles that shatters them.
Alex: And that's how it is done. Get it memorized.
Isa: Hmph!
Lori: Thank you both.
Luna: You saved our butts teach.
Sam: Thank you so much, Isa!
Axel: Oh-ho, looks like Isa's a ladies man!
Isa: You're obnoxious.
Rivelias: Lucy, stay behind me!
Lucy: I'm with you.
Rivellias focused her spell and fired a beam of esoteric energy at a group of fiends.
Jackie Lee Chow: Tommy! Together [Wears an armor and gears with 12 Chinese zodiac talismans]
Tommy: Right behind you. [Tommy summons gears and weapons from his hero suit.] Although, I will need money to replace my inventory of gears!
Jackie Lee Chow: Just put it in my tab if there's any excess.
Tommy fires a photon gun as Jackie Lee Chow used Dragon and Boar talismans to create beams of laser and fireballs at the stronger units.
Lynn: So that what it does.
Maggie: Should we let them?
Benny: I think we should.
Daniel snipes flying demons as Alicia lanced the ground units. Taara calls forth the power of her father, Thor and summoned lightning against both flying unit and ground units.
Leni: Be careful you guys!
Dana: I think they got this. Go Daniel!
Daniel: I have to reload! Taara, assist me!
Taara: On it!
Alicia: I guess Daniel will settle with the best friend.
Oscar: On your left guys!
Oscar then used his staff to cast electrified atoms in the air, creating a lightning current.
Taara: Let me help! [Taara redirects the current to another direction which hits an approaching target.]
Oscar: *phew* Two fiends in one lightning stone!
Meanwhile, on top of a hills, Lincoln and Maderas are fighting. Lincoln dual wields his Soul Devourer and Ascalon to fend Maderas arcane weapons. Lincoln rapidly thrusts his two swords in intense speed that it seemed million blades are appearing. Maderas may have blocked the attacks but he is being push back little by little. Maderas is surprised of the amount of power but still on par with the boy. Maderas summon dark swords from all directions and fling them towards Lincoln but Lincoln parried them with quickness.
Maderas: As expected, this power is so immense. I must have it! Only you can dictate the fate of the universe, this Earth and our planet Dissidium! Why would our leaders would want unity when victory is near our grasp!? They fear and feel threatened when their Father left this world out of disappointment!?
Lincoln: So you know of the legend. God did left the balance of the Universe at his sons hands. All for the sake of returning order and beauty of the Old Glory. This war must come to an end by having two parties agree on equal terms.
Maderas: You knew too. You are the two parties! Angel and Demon Clan must agree on whatever fate they want for the world and the inferior races. Angels wanted order and freedom but us wanted rulership and dominance. Angels believed that humans are free and good species but us Demons believed that they are corruptible and easily swayed.
Lincoln: What you said is both true on varying humans. But if you think you're a true leader, then think again! You cannot control our destinies!
Maderas: Not until I have taken that power and became the new god like the old Demon King's idea!
Lincoln: If he's here right now, he won't agree with you!
The fight continues as Maderas summoned more swords to attack Lincoln but Lincoln dodges them as he runs towards the archfiend. Lincoln then returned his two swords to his back and reused his katana to quickly strike down the approaching blades. With how fast the strikes are, Lincoln's moves seemed to be a repeat of unsheathing and sheathing the katana.
Luna: Holy smokes, look at Linky go!
Lori: He's literally too fast to follow.
Maderas knew he couldn't take him alone. He's continued clash with Lincoln will tire him so he needed something to do to catch him off-guard.
Maderas: I, the descendant of the king of the flies, Bael Zebul will not fall so easily. Units, back me up!
Lincoln/Ludociel: What?
Daniel: That ain't good! Everyone, to Ludociel.
Lincoln is surrounded. Any move he make will be anticipated by Maderas if he is not careful. Lincoln is indeed strong but not strong enough to handle things alone. Even with the Commandment that attaches to him, without his mastery, it will be raw power without form or control. As such, it may lead to terrible results if he make one mistake.
Lincoln: Even with this power, he's willing to sacrifice so much of his army just to get me! This one is difficult.
Maderas: Hahahaha! Lesser demons will just return to Scheol even if they are killed. As an Archfiend, I can call back the fallen ones and return them to my services as I please! As such, you never stood a chance against us, young Nephilim! This is goodbye to you, I shall have all the power in the universe!
Lincoln is running out of options. He is desperate for his life. He can't just die again, as he is going to bring the prophesy to fruition! As he was prepared to meet his end… Pillars of golden light and purple darkness fell from the heavens and shaken the armada and took down almost all of them.
Lincoln: What?
Alex: Are those?
Isa: Indeed they are.
Taara: Mr. Morningstar
Alicia: And Headmaster Michael El-Shaddai!
Maderas: So the legendary brothers of the Almighty had returned. The rival brothers of origins. The ones that took Abel and Cain as their first trial! The known Demon King and Head of the Seraphs! Samael Lightbringer and Michael Demiurge!
Michael: Hmph, I'd rather stick to my Hebrew name, El-Shaddai.
Samael: I've abandoned that name. Call me Samael Morningstar or Lucifer Morningstar if you like!
Maderas: Damn it, and I was about to win.
Samael: So the traitor is among the Bael Zebul clan!? I should have known and disciplined my fallen brother's clan if this was to take place! But I guess it's my fault for abdicating the throne.
Michael: Time to deal with them!
Samael: I rebuke thee!
The demons are then bound by a dark abyssal tentacles from Samael's power as Michael cast Omega Ark Purge to smite them into smithereens. Maderas is in shock of what he is seeing.
Maderas: This cannot be happening to me!
Lincoln: Time to put you to sleep! Forever!
Michael: We'll back you up!
Samael: Time to punish!
Lincoln charges his Ascalon with power and Michael holds his sword of light while Samael readies his blade of darkness. The three then rushes at Maderas and unleashes their powerful thrust attack. This creates a explosive pillar of both light and darkness that will be seen from a distance.
Lincoln: Did we do it?
Michael: I don't think so.
Samael: Can't die the first time!
Maderas was barely unscathed by the attack. Although he took major damage, wasn't enough to kill him. As he stood there, there was a barrier shattered by the attack that took his punishment for him.
Maderas: Still alive… damn that hurt.
Lincoln: Why you?
Samael: Ludociel, get back!
Something suddenly crashed landed at Maderas's front and appeared before them. A group of individuals with such malevolent aura forming from them.
Maderas: Damn, took you long enough… Gromory, Vulak!
Claire Vulak: Sorry, chief but we were caught to something within our own guild.
Roxanne Gromory: Forgive us of our tardiness.
Maderas: Hahaha, now then. I thing we've tested them enough… We will have to retreat for now.
Roxanne Gromory: So that's the Nephilim! I gotta say, he's cute. Too bad we are enemies at this point.
Lincoln: Oh, so you can resist my Commandment's power. Then you are another Archfiend.
Samael: Not just any Archfiend, they are a ragtag group of incredibly malevolent beings in some of the clans. The ENDERS!
Roxanne Gromory - second eldest princess of the Gromory clan of the 72 Goetian demons. The rogue princess.
Claire Vulak - a mad female head scientist/alchemist and rival sister of the current heiress of the Vulak clan of the 72 Goetian demons.
Adolf Hitler - Der Fuhrer of the Nazi's revived as a dismembered demon. Killer of Hebrews and known tyrant during the world war. Former human.
Gilles De Rais - former companion of St. Jeanne d'Arc that committed horrible crimes after her death. Transmutated into a demon filled with madness. An evil wizard.
Nero Claudius Augustus Caesar Drusus Germanicus - aka Nerun Quesar, the Former Roman emperor. A tyrant and murderer of Christians, dubbed as the anti-messiah due to his name being equated in Hebrew as the number of the beast of Babylon. Was once a human.
Lu Bu - A Chinese warrior and betrayer of factions/peace. His constant treachery and violence lead to the alliance of different factions to eliminate him. Formerly a Dragonite race (demi-human).
Mephisto - aka Prince of Lies or He who hates Light. He is a deal maker demon that lost a bet against God and Michael from taking an alchemist named Faust.
Morgana le Faye and Mordred le Faye Vi - Knightly twins from the subbranch of Camelot Templars that were killed by an accusation of witchcraft and cursing fellow Templars. Made a deal with Maderas in exchange for a second life.
Samael: So only two members of the Goetia joined Maderas afterall. The rest are just revived members of a different clan from ancient history.
Michael: While there are defector of other Goetia clans, the main concern are those two who were once heiresses of their clans.
Maderas: As much as I want to overstay my welcome, I'm afraid I must go.
The ENDERS vanish along with the remaining armada as they are exhausted from the fight. The other members of the Ouroboros then tends to the heroes that help fend the place from getting conquered.
Lincoln/Ludociel: I have a feeling they would return.
Michael: that's why we regroup and hire more fighters in this upcoming war. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but I must help the fellow members get their revenge against them.
Michael points at Rivelias, Alicia, and Daniel. Lincoln wonders what did the ENDERS do to them, only to be told that they will tell soon. Once the the heroes have recuperate, Lincoln decided to join the Loud sisters and finally the family is complete again.
If only it was that easy. If only it was out of good terms. If only it was only to reunite rather than prepare… for war.
-To Be Continued-
AN: ENDERS are here and most of them are revived villains of history that are transmutation into evil, malevolent beings. There are other "benched" members of ENDERS but we'll get back to that. But for now, I will leave it at this. As for the reasons why some members are having a deep hate against some members of the ENDERS, I'll do it in the next chapter including on how will the parents react on Lincoln's return and recruiting allies.
For now, I hope you enjoyed. Leave a like, review, and/or follow. God bless, stay safe, and Peace/Shalom!
