Chapter 4: The Great Battle pt. 2
Heaven's Gate - Outside God's Barrier
During The Great Battle -
Beelzebub looked at the pure whitedome encircled around his lord and knew there was no way in the known hell he was going to pierce that, hell he didn't even know if he was gonna survive THIS battle. Still, watching Rapheal squirm as his core was sucked dry was pretty entertaining. The remaining Seraphs, Micheal, Jeremiel, and Raguel were stupified, suprised at the speed in which God appeared and then disappeared, even knowing this was part of the plan set up, what was NOT part of the plan however was Lilith heading towards the group at a speed the naked eye couldn't perceive. She landed in front of the group of supernatural beings hard, the ground cracking from the pressure of her power and speed in which she landed. She had felt a power surge and seen the barrier going up and rushed to figure put what was going on.
"Beezlebub, report!" Lilith commanded Beezlebub, her black battle armor dripping red from the blood of Angels and Fallen alike.
"God arrived and Sealed Lord Lucifer and Azazel in a barrier, it's impenetrable to anybody below the caliber of those inside." Beelzebub drawled lazily, almost yawning despite being in the middle of conflict. Lilith tsked her teeth and sighed, putting the thought of helping Lucifer out of her mind.
"Well if it's impenetrable then no use in trying to pierce it, Satans! Choose a Seraph and we'll give their head to Lucifer as a trophy of war!" Lilith spoke to the group assembled by The Morning Star himself his elite group of devils whose power were close to Lucifer himself. At this point, the remaining Seraphs were readying themselves for battle, even being outnumbered they held on counting on the faith of their father to grant them the strength. Readying their weapons, Micheal spoke to the devils his wings shining bright with unrestrained power and might.
"Lilith!" Micheal spoke, his voice sparking with fury and tears threatening to spill through his solid gold helm. As the first human born of Adam and Eve, Micheal was tasked to be Lilith's guardian angel from birth and guardian angel he was. Sacrificing his physical voice to appear as her conscience he guided her through the human realm offering her counsel in her toughest times. When Lilith was approached by Lucifer first, Micheal was the one who warned her, told her through her own instincts that he was evil and corrupt but, blinded by her own infatuation and misplaced love she followed Lucifer in the dead of the night and was raped repeatedly until she agreed to become his wife and queen. Through it all Micheal watched, becoming more and more enraged at losing his first human and the first woman he was willing to fall for all in one.
Lilith heard Micheal's call and smirked, sweeping her midnight bangs out of her face she made direct eye contact with Micheal and held her hand out, immediately a green magic circle appeared and 7 large, boulder sized dragon heads shot out, aiming to explode Micheal where he stood.
"Earth Mystical Art: Heat Seeking Dragon Bombs!"
Micheal raised his hands and a pure white shield appeared, based on the name of the attack he figured they would follow him until they exploded so he should probably all have them just hit a shield and counter attack during the blast.
"Domain of Heaven!"
The two attacks met head on in a resounding boom, a large mound of dust and a crater being made below where the clash took place. In the resulting chaos, Belphegor looked at Raguel and dashed towards him, swinging his mace, Aion , in a vicious downward slash. Raguel saw this and tried to parry with a conjured light sword but was overpowered, Belphegor's strike connected with his chest and sent him shooting towards Ariq'a, Heaven's first layer.
Asmodeus never moved from his spot before he was beheaded from a magical fire whip coming at him from behind. In the dust of Lilith and Micheal's magical clash, Jeremiel, using Heaven's Illusion magic, hid himself from Asmodeus's senses until he got behind him and dropped his technique to unleash another.
"Go to the void, devil! Fire Whip!"
It was chaos all around. Micheal and Lilith were fighting in the sky trading magic spells like pokemon cards.
"Fire Mystical Art: Deaths Door!" At Lilith's command, a fire door floated in the air between them, with a wave of her hand the door opened and 300 small fire goblins shot out, each attempting to wrap itself around Micheal's body and explode him to tiny bits and pieces. Micheal clicked his teeth and summoned his light, immediately a wall of pure light appeared before him and shook with from the impact of Lilith's spell hitting. Using the light from his shield, he manipulated it and broke it into 400 perfect swords and sent them hurling towards Lilith. Lilith shook her head and raised a hand,
"Wind Mystical Art: Air Wall", on impact each arrow stopped mid-air and was suspended in the air, Lilith reached out and touched one arrow with her hand,
"Touch of Darkness." Using her connection to Lucifer by being recognized as his wife by magic itself, Lilith sent the now black and demonic energy swords back at Micheal.
"I can do this all day!" Micheal said at seeing the swords come at him, raising his hand he conjured another magic circle and released a shield.
"Domain of Heaven!"
The attacks met head on and exploded, sending Micheal and Lilith Sprawling from the shockwave. When the air died down, both combatants were gazing at each other, steeling themselves for another magical bout.
Down below, Belphegor was seething at the loss of his fellow devil, now looking at Jeremiel, as he hoisted Aion across his shoulders.
"You will pay for my kins life with your blood filthy angel!" And rocketed towards Jeremiel, intent on knocking his head from his body but,Jeremiel was ready, manifesting a light spear to block Belphegor's strike. The two entered a dance of blades, never giving the other room to make a mistake or it would cost them their life.
Slash!
Cut!
Slash!
The devil and angel jumped back from each other. Jeremiel's body bruised and battered from Aion, angrily heaving to keep his exhaustion in check. Why was he so tired? It had to be that weapon, otherwise he would be able to effectively fight longer.
"What weapon is that, Devil? Jeremiel asked, his voice heavy from exhaustion and dripping sweat from under his bright gold helm.
"This is Aion!" Belphegor grinned victoriously, proud to have an instrument of death like Aion in his grip. "It uses my core to cut the life force of my opponents! That exhaustion you feel is from having your life literally be cut short!" Belphegor finished with a booming laugh, his grin almost savage now. "A little more and you won't have enough energy to stand!" He then raced forward with a heavy downward swing, "Only at my feet will I then have you beg for your life!" and just as Jermemiel conjured another spear to block, the pure white dome beside them exploded.
Gabrielle vs. Leviathan -
During The Great Battle -
Leviathan leveled another water sphere and shoot at Gabrielle, clipping her wings and causing her to falter slightly in the air slowing down, giving Leviathan the time to finally catch her. With her strength being augmented by demonic power Leviathan raced towards the dazed Seraph and hit her in the spine with a crushing 2 handed blow.
"Demon Power Strike!"
Gabrielle curved around her fist from the force of the strike and shot towards the ground, dust picking up where she landed. Giving her no breathing room, Leviathan but both her hands together in a praying motion and a 40ft wide ocean blue magic circle appeared behind her. Gabrielle looked on from the ground, readying herself for death as her spine was broke in numerous places from the strength of Leviathan. Suddenly, Raguel appeared before her and grabbed Gabrielle and teleported them into the kitchen of a house in Ariq'a, hearing Leviathan's yells of rage all the way from Heaven's gate.
"Raguel? What are you doing here? You're supposed to be fighting the Satans? Where's Remiel?" Gabrielle asked her brother, her voice laced with concern from her brother and pain from Leviathan's back breaker. Raguel looked worse for wear, his armor in pieces and his face bruised from being caught off guard by Belphegor's Aion.
"Don't worry about me, you get yourself fixed up then we'll search for Remiel." Raguel told Gabrielle, looking at the bruises forming on her face from crashing at the ground at high speed. Gabrielle was just about to start her self healing spell, she heard a soft groan coming from the front of the house. Opening the door and seeing her brother in a crater of the destroyed part of the street she immediately ran to him. Raguel, seeing Gabrielle suddenly run out to the street went outside to see what wrong and saw Leviathan flying at basically mach speed from outside the gate to his current position. Trying to warn his sister he shouted out, "Gabrielle watch out Leviathan is coming from the gate!" At hearing this Gabrielle looked up from her brother just in time to catch a literal flying right hook from Leviathan.
"You can hide little Angel," Leviathan said, her tone savage and nasty from the chase Gabrielle took her on. Putting her hands in a praying position, this time 3 40ft large ocean blue magical circles appeared behind her. Raguel sprung into action the moment he saw her, coming up from behind her using his blade, Excalibur, he swung downward hoping to cleave Leviathan right down the middle. Leviathan in response clicked her teeth and with her demonic energy coating her hand caught the blade within an inch of her face. "You Angels seem to like your blades," inspecting the blade she gave it a once over look deeming it a little to bright for her taste. "it'd be a shame if one were to.." putting more pressure in her grip, the blade began to crack where her hands touched, "..break it." She finished with a maniacal grin on her face, the sword breaking into seven fragments with a pulse of her demonic power. Raguel's heart started to race as his Holy Sword was broken right in front of his eyes, with a fast swipe and a quick 1-2 punch he was sent crashing into Gabrielle, who had just started to gain her bearings from Leviathans right hook. "Now that you're all here!" Leviathan looked at the 3 exhausted and pained Seraphs before her, delighted in seeing their horrified expression at the 3 large scale magical circles behind her. Leviathan floated off the ground and pushed both her arms forward.
"Leviathan Clan Art: Hell's Ocean!"
Immediately, 3 huge waves of black water shot out at the 3 Seraphs, The waves of black magic destroying everything they set their sights on. Gabrielle and Raguel watched as the wave came closer to them both too exhausted to put up any defences. Leviathan cackled in the air delighted at seeing Heaven fall, basking in the destruction of all things pure and good. Leviathan floated in front of Gabrielle lifted her by hair and held her body up to the direction of the waves, giving her no choice but to see her impending doom. Gabrielle could do nothing but pray to her father "Protect me Father." And just as the wave of death was gonna hit Gabrielle, the dome at Heaven's Gate exploded.
Beezlebub vs. Rapheal -
During The Great Battle-
"You're still alive right?"
"Get me off this filthy contraption and fight me devil scum!"
"Yeah you're alive."
"Where are you going devil? Unhand me and feel my might!"
God, Lucifer, and Azazel Inside the dome-
During The Great Battle-
Lucifer looked around the dome inquisitively, wanting to know what magic this was to not only hold him, but contain his magical energy to human levels.
"What is this barrier, Old Man?" Azazel asked god, his eyes also wandering over the semi-sphere erected around him containing his energy.
"Well originally the plan was to have my Seraphs enter and feed me enough power to fight you both after my battle with the 2 heavenly dragons.." his clawed gauntlet glowing at the mention of "dragon" "..but the dragons took all my energy so I made this to talk to my wayward sons." God finished, a light smile on his face.
"Well human levels or not.." Lucifer summoned a Sword made of Primordial Darkness, its demonic power humming with energy, "...this won't be enough to stop me from killing you." Lucifer finished, his face was serious, ready to throw down with his maker.
"You're not gonna kill me son you're a couple eons too early for that im afraid." God said easily, his voice tired and exhausted from the mention of battle. Azazel looked at god closely, peering over his form to the tears in his robes and the blood running down the side of his face.
"You're dying already aren't you?" Azazel questioned god, dematerializing his armor, confident in knowing the answer to his question.
"Yes my son, I was already weakened from the Fallen, I underestimated the Heavenly Dragons power and by my estimate will perish in about 1 minute." God told them calmly, still grinning easily.
"Then why don't you just croak already you old man? Why entrap us in this barrier." Lucifer asked God, sealing his armor, his tone filled with annoyance at finding out he wouldn't be able to personally kill God.
"Because my sons..." God suddenly moved faster than both their eyes could follow, grabbing them both the hem of their shirt, "...In my last moments I realize I wasn't a good father, I never disciplined you like I should have and that's my fault." What followed was an ass beating from the biggest can of whoop ass ever made. God held nothing back punching and kicking his 2 sons before any of them could react, while the barrier held those 2 to human levels, God was every bit as powerful as he was before entering the barrier, beating their asses with all his godly strength.
"ugh!" Lucifer was sprawled out on the ground, his form a black and blue mess from the strictly physical punishment given to him by his father, his brother Azazel, was the exact same; Looking just as bit as blue as Lucifer.
"Now that we got that out the way, here's whats gonna happen, because I won't be there Human's will have no innate power, you will lend me yours and I will make Sacred Gears and entrust them to the humans, so they can make their own faction with their own leaders to guide them." God said patiently, waiting for his sons to recover from their beating.
"Why would I do that? What the hell is a sacred gear?" Azazel mumbled to God, bleeding from his mouth from the ass beating given to him by God himself.
"Oh my son I wasn't asking." Walking over to the 2 downed leaders, he took one hand from each and placed it on his non clawed hand.
"BOOST X 10!"
Multiplying his own power and the power he's receiving by 10 God casted his last spell.
"Lost Soul Art: Sacred Gear Birth!" With those words uttered the space around him exploded into white and spread throughout the entire world. The evil souls that god spent his last day retrieving would be sealed into a sacred gear most attuned for it and reincarnated with a human who would be able to use it to its maximum potential (in theory). God looked at the fading gauntlet at his hands and smiled, it was all over now.
After God's spell (and the dome exploding) Lilith rushed towards the place where the dome was and immediately seen the downed form of her love. Micheal, not to far behind her, sped up and raced to the downed form of his father, who was slowly fading from the bottom up.
"My son.." God coughed up blood, his life force getting weaker and weaker as time passed. "Tell your siblings I lo..."
"Its ok Father.." Micheal interrupted, his voice tight with pain from seeing his father die right in front of his eyes. "Its ok Father, just rest." Offering his father his widest smile, his eyes burning with tears.
"Fallen Move out! Meet at Freevan! Kokabiel shouted out, Flying by and picking up his lord before anyone could react. All Fallen Angles spread their wings and flew back to the underworld, awaiting their new orders.
"Devils Retreat! All devils retreat! Lord Lucifer is down!" Lilith screamed out, picking up Lucifer's body and making a magic circle teleporting directly to the Phenex Clan Hospital, she hoisted Lucifer on her shoulders and looked at Micheal. "This isn't over." She said and teleported, the devils all using their own teleporting circles to get back to the underworld. Micheal never responded, only focusing on his father.
"Before I go Micheal remember this, I am always with you.." God strained his arms and pointed hard at Micheal's heart, forcing an anguished cry from Micheal as he cried at the unfairness of it all. "I'm always here Micheal, always he..", and as God faded from Micheal's arms, Micheal looked around at the destroyed Heaven's Gate and the destroyed village of Ariq'a and cried. A sad, painful cry.
