Prologue : A bloody battle

{ AREA JUST OUTSIDE THE CHURCH'S GATES }

The sky is red with blood and black clouds makes the scenery more scary than it already was as the battlefield was covered with bodies and fire.

The area is in complete chaos has both demons and knights clash with murderous intent. It was clear to see that the knights were losing badly, being beating by the far more superior demon warriors that were not taking prisoners…

***************

"General Aaron, we are taking a beating, the enemy is too strong… we need to retreat if not we'll all be killed."

A holy knight yells out from amidst the chaotic battlefield

"Hold your ground soldiers, if we fall then every single civilian inside the church would fall with us…."

The general is not allowed to finish his sentence before a fireball is sent flying his way.

He is unable to move out of the way on time, he puts up his shield to provide some form of protection but then there is no impact. He puts down his shield and is immediately gripped with happiness at the figure in front of him

"Kane!!!!"

The general exclaims.

"General, I did not expect you to be so unaware of your surroundings…"

Kane remarks with a smirk as he stood in front of Aaron with his right palm raised upward with the fireball floating just inches from his palm.

He sights the demon that had launched the ball and immediately sends it back flying with great force, the demon manages to dodge it with anger on its face.

Kane is grinning from ear to ear as he plants his feet in the ground, the demon charges at Kane with deathly intent but Kane seems unmoved.

Before the demon can make contact with a punch to Kane's face, Kane grabs it's fist and lands a blow of his own, blowing the demon's head clean. The hellish creature drops dead to the ground with blood spluttering all around....

"Who else??"

Kane remarks with a smirk.

"The chosen have arrived!!!!!!..."

Several knights yell out in unison as they saw what happened.

The arrival of Elijah and his crew at the battlefield was immediately greeted by cheers all around as the knights hailed their arrival with joy

"The chosen are here now, there's no way we are gonna lose now."

A knight says with an assurance.

"You unholy creatures better prepare yourself for a whole lot of ass whooping."

Another knight remarks in a loud voice.

"Go get them sons of bitches…."

Yet another knight remarks.

"Don't be so vulgar, we are on holy ground…"

A knight cautions in a stern voice.

"Sorry bout that."

The knight remarks with an awkward smile as he placed his hand at the back of his head.

**********************

Elijah stands from atop the church fence to view the surrounding area. There is a visible worry on his face, same with his companions as they surveyed the bloodied landscape.

"This might not be as easy as we thought it would be."

Harold remarks with a worried look on his face.

"Tell me about it… this is by far the largest company of warrior demons we've seen thus far, I wonder who's leading them."

Celia chips in, sharing in Harold's worries.

"That's exactly what I'm worried about, which demon is so powerful as to be leading so many legions at once."

Elijah remarks, clicking his tongue.

"We should be wary, let's take care of this quickly."

Lincoln adds with the others nodding in agreement.

"Hey what are you guys waiting for?? ... get down here so we can end these bastards already."

Kane yells out from the battlefield.

"Tch, Fall out!!"

Elijah orders with the others obliging his words.

Elijah and his companions engage in battle and almost immediately the tide of the battle changes with the demons starting to lose the upper hand.

**************

Elijah drops down and is immediately surrounded by several demons on all sides, with the dastardly creatures sizing him up as they circled him with blood thirsty looks in their eyes.

"I need to finish up here quickly so I can be able to see my son as he is being brought into this world, please be safe Martha.....

.... Heavenly art – flashing lights."

Elijah says as he dropped into the battlefield.

The demons surrounding Elijah are immediately blinded by a bright light emanating from his being. Elijah takes advantage of this handicap and immediately attacks the dastardly creatures with a light blade construct.

"Heavenly art : Blade of light."

Elijah remarks with a blade made of light forming in his arm. He uses the blade to cut through his opponents swiftly in one omnidirectional swipe of his blade.

Several shrieks emanate from the demons as they are cut down, blood spluttering all around.

More demons attack him and he is forced into serious combat. He cuts through a fireball the shape of a boulder and blocks the weapon of a demon before him, he engages the demon for a while blocking it's strikes before finally disarming it and cutting it through its stomach into two clean halves.

***************

Harold streaks past Elijah with lightening emanating from his body, he puts his hands up with two fingers facing a large group of demons heading towards him.

"Heavenly art – Raging lightening storm."

A massive amount of lightening bolts fire out of his raised fingers and destroy the group of demons before him, causing a massive explosion and leaving a massive trail of blood while also destroying the earth as well.

More demons come hovering around him in a show of hostility prompting Harold to form a sword of pure lightening which crackled to life in an instant.

"Who's first??"

*********************

Celia creates several earthen projectiles from atop the church's fence and begins to hurl them into the battlefield, crushing several demons in the process.

Fifty two demons taking notice of her attacks come rushing at her but are stopped by Lincoln, who envelopes his body in a dark flame like substance.

"Heavenly art : devouring flame."

The dark flame comes out of his being and attacks all fifty two demons that had come at Celia consuming them in the process, leaving nothing but ashes in it's wake.

Celia looks down at Lincoln with an upraised eyebrow with Lincoln responding with a smirk.

"You know I could have taken them on myself, you didn't need to do that."

Celia remarks.

"Oh c'mon, not even a thank you…. That's not very polite."

Lincoln retorts still with a smirk.

"Mtch..."

Celia turns away from Lincoln and puts her attention back onto the battlefield, creating more boulders and letting them fly with relative ease.

Some of the demon generals stood from a distance watching the encounter with disgust.
