High above the air, Vegeta and Michael were heating up as white light coursed over their bodies, turning into what was a sparring match, into a brilliant display of fireworks.
Sweating from exhaustion, Vegeta floated to the ground, "Well Michael. That was pretty fun. Finally, I am getting used to having this amount of strength. Ha! Before you know it, I will surpass you even."
"We'll see Vegeta." spoke Michael, with a hint of a grin on his face, "Your training should have moved you further than this by now. I had hoped that it would have doubled. So far it has no where come near that. Regardless of how much power you think you have, the darkness that lies ahead is in every way superior to you."
"Which reminds me Michael. How do you know this darkness so well? What are you so afraid of anyway?"
"Vegeta, at one time, I had fought it, him rather. I nearly lost, but managed to drive him out of heaven. Angel's fought angels.....it was a great civil war, worse than you can ever imagine."
"So tell me about it"
".....Another time......We must get back to your training....."
"Dammit Michael! Realize that though I am a servant of our God, I am not your puppet, nor am I yours to order around! I will work as I want when I want! Tell me what's going on THEN we continue training."
"12,000 standard human years ago, Heaven was at peace. During this time, there was no such thing as sin, sin hadn't, nearly couldn't enter most of our minds. The very thought of disobeying God was repulsive to all of us. All of us except one, his name was Reladiance, the Lord's favorite. God had blessed him with everything, and a power far above any other angel. Reladience was the most beautiful of all God's creature,a rare Archangel, and the music he made, well, it was INCREDIBLE. Every standard earth hour, he would lead the angels in chorus, worshipful praise of He who made us, Alethueo, God. It was a glorious time to be alive. Then came pride. Pride and ambition began to enter into Reladience's heart. He changed...and became something else, an abomination. He became, Mephistopheles. He foolishly believed that he could take the throne of Alethueo. He subtly drew angels to his side for a mass rebellion. One third of us in the end joined his side, to begin war with the Almighty God. It all began the following "day." Many of the Seraphim, our choir angels, gathered to sing praise, yet Mephistopheles was not there. An odd thing, then everything became war. Countless angels attacked the throne. I and several other Archangels held back most of them. Then came Mephistopheles to fight me. We fought back and forth, swords clashing,he was gaining the upper hand rapidly, until, by some miracle, I experienced a sudden burst of energy and repelled him, throwing him down to Earth. I assume that this power came from God for it also was unlike anything I have ever experienced before. Now Mephistopheles threatens to return, and he has nearly doubled his power since. God has no fear, but I however, do fear. I fear that he could take over all of this universe. God promised him long ago, that he would be prince if he could best Him. That is why we need you Vegeta, because with every new worshiper Mephistopheles gets stronger. All ready his followers number beyond human comprehension. Upon all of this, Mephistopheles has managed to find the fallen angels, now called Demons. After the fall, Mephistopheles took on another name, Mephistopheles. You are being groomed to bring draw away his followers to the Light that is God. That is your mission. Now let's move on with your training.
"Hmph. This should be interesting."
And so the training continues as the evil of Mephistopheles draws closer. But will Vegeta be ready when the time comes? And what of the Z Team. How will Earth's protectors guard against such a powerful force?
:::Unknown:::
The air was perfect, if you could call the atmosphere air even. The ground has speckles of ash everywhere however, making it seem odd that anything could feel perfect at all. There was a darkness about, an evil, foul feeling that could not be shaken. And in the midst of all the smoke and ashes pouring forth from that which cannot be seen, a throne of gold, pure effervescent gold. And on that throne, sits an evil power,,,,,
"Baarak!" Screamed the nasty looking warlord, Mephistopheles.
"Yes m'Lord." yelped Baarak.
Baarak was of the impling class of demons. A small cowering creature that had no strength, but great cunning. Still, brute strength is what ruled here, and as such, Baarak was a servant. Still, a servant to the Lord of the Underworld.
"Baarak, kneel before me. Chant my name. Praise me and give me glory."
"Yes lord."
"Baarak, aren't I the king of kings? The lord of lords?"
"Yes lord."
"Was it not I who own the air and land of this universe? Is it not I who control what goes on here, in MY domain?"
"Of course! You are the highest. You are to be praised! You reign supreme over that foul Alethueo."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
"Well, I was just-"
"THAT NAME IS NEVER TO BE SPOKEN HERE! EVER! IT IS AN ABOMINATION. THAT ACURSED BEING! HA! BUT IT WAS I WHO KILLED HIM. IT WAS I WHO DESTROYED HIM AND TOOK THE LIFE OUT OF HIM. I WHO HAD CAPTURED HIS SOUL."
"Well....you didn't exactly capture it, remember what happened-"
"NEVER SPEAK OF THAT HERE."
"Well, I was just speaking the truth lord. That He did manage to-"
"TRUTH?! AHAHAHA! Truth. I AM THE TRUTH! I AM THE WAY. IT IS ME WHO GIVES LIFE AND TAKES IT AWAY! NOT THAT EVIL PEACE OF SHI-"
All of a sudden, a great noise arose, a clap of thunder, as a dark legion of menacing and foul demons, came approaching the throne.
"Sir, we have been under heavy attack from the front lines. The Enemy is to strong.", Spoke a worn General, wearing a dark and torn cloak. Thousands came in behind him, forming ranks and order similar those to the Roman Army.
"To strong? TO STRONG?" Mephistopheles took one glance at the cowering General, and in an instant, the former leader of Mephistopheles army was gone, and all that was left was a pile of salt.
"Commander Leviathan!" ,called out the Dark Lord.
A being of tall stature, strong posture, and a toned body stood up. He appeared as a dark shadow, without mass, yet with form.
"Yes....my master. I am here to serve you."
"You,Leviathan, are now General of my armies. Do as I say, and you will be awarded, succeed and you will live like a king,a god. Fail, and receive death, Fail continuously, and you will be given everlasting damnation in the Pit."
"YES LORD! I WILL. I SWEAR IT!" Spoke a somewhat intimidated Leviathan.
"Excellent. Listen to me. Gather the armies. Put a third at critical defense positions within our territories. The rest, I want you to take to this location."
The Dark Lord waved his hand as an image appeared, showing a dark crescent symbol surrounded by a star which became encompassed by a circle, it is known as the Megloc or "Gateway".
"Place them there, and DO NOT MOVE."
Rushing off with the armies,Commanders,Lieutenants, and other ranks, Leviathan disappeared in a distance as cracks of lightning began to take form all over, a red mist settling in.
"Yes......Yes.....NOW IS THE TIME! Now is when YOU 'Lord of Hosts' will FEAR ME! I will rule! The End of Your time has Come at long last! Now, the universe will know the power of me, Mephistopheles."
"Yes,m'Lord." Spoke Balaak, down on his knees, cowering,shivering with fear.
:::Elsewhere:::
"Did you feel that Gabriel?"spoke Michael, solemn and serene without a hint of worry or wear.
"Yes. It is quite strong isn't it Michael? He has become much stronger since the last Great War. The forthcoming one has me somewhat worried. What if he does it. What if Mephistopheles actually manages to overthrow the King?"
"It will not happen. Alethueo has foreseen the end of it. Do not doubt Him. That as we all know leads to an area that dare not be visited again. It is true, that his power has grown, and yet, I am confident that even you and I could fight this Beast alone. A long battle it will be, remember, the Weeks have almost begun. Let us stop worrying and begin to prepare for the battle ahead. Gabriel, blow the horn..."
