Chapter 1: THE WAR
Lucifer stepped over the mangled corpses and broken wings of angels. The ground of the Garden of Eden was littered with the golden holy blood. Lucifer paid no attention it all. He continued walking stoically, until he reached the entrance into the Kingdom.
Michael was the one who was waiting for him at the entrance. "Greetings my lord."
"Greetings Michael." Lucifer smiled at Michael. "You waiting for me here...either the news is good, or we're running away."
"Oh yes sire, everything went exactly as you planned it."
"Excellent." They started flying towards the Holy Castle. "And what of God and the humans?"
"All are waiting for you, my lord."
"Oh, then we must not keep them waiting any longer. It'd be rude to keep God waiting ain't it?"
"Yes my lord."
So the both of them flew straight to the Holy Castle. Straight to the the Throne of God.
Lucifer and Michael landed on the Throne Room's veranda. Uriel and Sariel opened the veranda glass door for them to enter. Lucifer's face lit up even more upon seeing the view inside the Throne Room.
The whole room was a mess. Golden splatter on the wall, feathers strewn about, dead bodies carpeted the floor, and three figures, bounded by Raguel Enslavement Rings.
Lucifer knelled to one of the bounded captive. "Greetings my Lord. Hope you've been well."
God did not answer. He was hurt, he was saddened, he was enraged. He was betrayed by the one he trusted the most. The first of His creation. The most intelligent, the most powerful, second only to him, and Lucifer stabbed him in the back.
"I told you my Lord. The humans are nothing but bad news. And now look, because of them," he pointed at Adam and Eve, "you and you're precious angels will all be wiped from Heaven."
Suddenly, God let out a long, continuous, boisterous laugh. Which annoyed Lucifer. He stood up above God, and his voice boomed across the room. He spoke in a calm manner, yet his voice was thunderous. "I'm glad you found humor at the final moment of your living."
"No, no...there's...there's nothing f-funny...about all this." God said, amidst his laughter.
"Really? Then, what made you laugh so hard?" Lucifer was ready to chop God's head off.
"It's funny that, for all those power, all those intelligence, and you are jealous of the worker humans I created. Now, my dear Lucifer, don't you find that funny?" God's smirk might as well be a sharp, poisonous dagger stabbing right at Lucifer's heart. Because it stung like one.
"Huh. Jealousy. Well, I'm glad you managed to figure that out. Farewell, my Lord. I will always cherish your love, albeit the abundance of unrequited love from mine."
Lucifer lifted his right hand. It suddenly combusted, engulfed by black flames. The black flames began to move and took shaped. A few moments later, the black flame became a black katana. Lucifer placed the blade right at God's neck.
God was smiling. Grinning. As if goading Lucifer. Mocking him. Taunting him. I dare you to do it, God's face seemed to say. You wouldn't dare to do it. You're much of a coward to kill me. Do it then. Prove me wrong. Prove to me you're not a coward.
Lucifer wanted the mocking grin to stop. He lifted the blade high, ready to swung and separate the head from the body. Unfortunately, before the black blade descended unto God's neck, a loud explosion hurled Lucifer and the Seven Archangels away from God.
Seventeen angels appeared. They created a circle around God, Adam and Eve. Lucifer saw the angels, the upper echelon of angels chain of command. His comrades and subordinate. The nerve of these sub par existence to defy him. He was seething so much he could not speak. Moments later, he yelled out one name. "BEHEMOTH!"
Behemoth turned towards Lucifer. "Forgive me my brother, but we won't just stood watch as you killed Father."
"You fools! Why are you on the sides of the human?"
"Father wills it. And we shall abide by it."
"Then you shall die along Father."
"If that's my fate, I humbly accept. But a disobedient son, I am not."
Lucifer ordered the Archangels to attack, but even the Archangels had a hard time breaking the barricade. The angel sect leaders; Behemoth, Leviathan and Ziz, plus the three generals, the vices and the executioners, were able to stood their ground. Unfortunately, Lucifer started to gather his strength to attack.
The sect leaders knew that they were no match for Lucifer. In their battle, they have accepted themselves to die as a final battle. Lucifer used his full power to blast the barricade, along with God and the humans.
When the beam subsided, nothing was left. Uriel exclaimed in excitement. "We did it! The fight's over."
Lucifer put his right hand on Uriel's left shoulder. "I'm sorry to disappoint you brother, but it won't be that easy to kill our former Lord."
Uriel's disappointed look was apparent. Lucifer smiled and rubbed his shoulder to console him. He turned to Gabriel. "Can you detect where'd they gone to?"
Gabriel closed her eyes. Then said, "They're in the White Path, hidden in one of the planets of the Spiral Stars."
Lucifer stood in front of God's Throne. "My brothers and sisters. This is it. Our final battle. Once this is over, the world will be ours. As God intended. Eventhough he had strayed from the path, even though he had fallen victim to the humans seduction, we will correct this world to his plan. Let's go."
###
God, his seventeen angels that remain loyal to him, Adam and Eve arrived on the white frozen plain of what will later be known as Earth. As soon as their feet touched the icy plain, Adam and Eve immediately bowed down to God.
"We are so sorry my Lord. All this happened because of us."
It's hard what with all the pain of the wounds, but God managed to smile to Adam and Eve. "It's okay. I understand. You did it out of the goodness of your heart. You just acted upon your empathy and went right to Lucifer's traps."
"But...we had eaten the Forbidden Fruit."
"The only thing I worried about is that the dark energy in the fruit will taint the rest of your generations. Your child, and the child after you, will be born with evil contained."
"Then...perhaps you should kill us now?"
"Nonsense. You were tainted with the darkness, yet you chose to fight alongside me. As long as you do your best to fight the evil within, I will ensure we are free of the darkness. So that one day we may returned and reclaimed Heaven once again."
Adam and Eve bowed to God. "Thou art truly a kind and just God, O Lord."
Samael interjected. "Pardon me my Lord, but perhaps we should not stay here for long. I feel Gabriel had already detected our presence here. We should leave now, or prepare for our last stand."
God stood up and looked around. He close his eyes, and took a deep breath. As he exhaled, he opened his eyes. "No, this will be our new homes. We shall protect it from Lucifer and the archangels."
God gathered all his power, all his energy, and dispersed it throughout the planet. God's power embraced the entirety of the planet, creating a protective layer around the Earth.
"Oriens, you will go and make a defense post East." He said to one angel. The angel immediately flew to the East.
"Paymor, you'll go to the West."
"Egyn will go to the North."
"Amaymon will go to the South."
The four angels dispersed. Then he turned to the sect leaders. "Behemoth, Leviathan and Ziz will worked alongside Adam and Eve. You'll make sure the Earth will be a prosperous place for generations to come."
"Thy wish is my command, O Lord." All five spoke in unison.
"The rest of us will burrowed deep in the core of this planet. We'll create Hell. A place that can absorb the darkness, to cleanse the humans from the darkness inside them. They will be pure once again, and will join us as we reclaim Heaven."
###
When Lucifer and the archangels arrived, it was already too late. They no longer able to enter Earth. They tried their best to attack the planet. Explosive beams after explosive beams were shot, but they cannot penetrate the defense. Dejected, they left and went back to Heaven. Instead, they went and plan another way to destroy Earth.
Lucifer went and resurrect the Fallen Angels. The angels now sworn loyalty to him. Lucifer also discovered that the Djinn, a species created by God before the humans, were able to pass through Earth's barrier. The Djinn also have sworn loyalty to Lucifer, since they were put below the humans. The Djinn, although they cannot physically harmed humans, can act as medium for the archangels and Lucifer. And thus began the war to corrupt humans from God.
