SOMEWHERE NOT TOO FAR FROM THE CHURCH…
RITA : We should keep going, the demons could be behind us any minute now
NUN #1 : Can’t we rest for a bit, we have been running for so long, my legs can’t take this much stress
HOLY KNIGHT #7 : It would be unwise to rest here, we should move now that we still have the chance
RITA : You’re….
Rita is about to finish her sentence when a huge explosion is heard coming from the direction of the church, the nuns and the Holy knight are wide eyed at the sight they had just witnessed with a massive mushroom smoke cloud being formed
RITA : Martha!!!!!
HOLY KNIGHT #7 : We should leave here at once, let’s go now… ( with an urgency in his voice).
CHAPTER 1
LOCATION : VICTORIA ISLAND, LAGOS CITY ( currently in shambles )
TIME : 12:00AM
DATE : 12 FEBRUARY, 2077AD
UNKNOWN MALE VOICE : It felt like a bad dream, a bright light turned into a miasma of darkness, it feels like it was yesterday or maybe it was, I can’t remember anymore, why would I want to remember anyways??... Remember the event that took the one I held most dear??... No I’d rather forget but that would make me a coward wouldn’t it??... because if I forgot then I wouldn’t be able to find her, I won’t feel the need to search for her….. A good dream turned into a terrible nightmare, why did they have to give us that mission anyways??... Going so deep into enemy territory to recover what exactly??... Couldn’t they have sent someone else??... Oh yeah I forgot the fact that we are the special team, the elite and apparently the strongest out of the bunch, but then why did we have to struggle so much and even end up losing as well, we were meant to be the strongest…… ( The voice fades for a while)
[Flashback]
……………………
UNKNOWN FEMALE : Come on Sirius, this is an important mission we can’t just back out just because we might face a few obstacles, we have to push through and match forward, OK??
SIRIUS : Yes big sister, I guess you’re right anyways.. I wonder what I was getting scared for anyways, we’re the strongest, right??
UNKNOWN FEMALE VOICE : Yes we are...( voice trails off as darkness returns)
…………………….
[End of flashback]
UNKNOWN MALE VOICE : Yeah, the strongest… but I guess we just met someone stronger, a mission to retrieve the Ark turned into a mission to survive the onslaught of demons on us…. ( The voice fades again)
[ Flashback ]
……………………
UNKNOWN MALE VOICE : I have gathered you all today for a very important mission, we gained reasonable Intel from our scouts at the border, it would seem demons have started to move back from the African continent apparently due to some unknown development but that’s actually good for us, during the last war we unfortunately lost the Ark of the covenant during a battle in the area of land once known as Namibia between a ragtag group of the chosen and Holy knights against a formidable demon armada, due to our loss of the covenant it affected us greatly due to how much it had helped us during the early part of the war. After much deliberation amongst the enclave we have decided to send you and your team in to retrieve the Ark
UNKNOWN FEMALE VOICE : How sure are you that the Ark is still there currently??...i mean it’s been years so it must have been moved already.... ( a tone of doubt in her voice can be heard by all those present in the office)
UNKNOWN MALE VOICE : You don’t have to worry about that, The Ark is one of the most powerful artefacts giving to us by the Father, apart from its awesome power it is also a holy item which is a good thing for us and also a bad thing for them ( demons) as they are unable to handle holy items
UNKNOWN MALE VOICE #2 : So that means demons are unable to touch talk more of move the Ark from where it was left during the last war??.... ( with childlike curiosity)
UNKNOWN MALE VOICE : Fortunately for us, yes… not only demons but all those with unclean hearts will immediately disintegrate from direct touch with the Ark
UNKNOWN FEMALE VOICE : Hmm, OK then if you say so but wouldn’t it be best to wait till all demon armies have been pulled out, I mean if we just barge in there like that it might not end so well for us
UNKNOWN MALE VOICE : Unfortunately no, we don’t have such luxury… We need to retrieve the Ark now and even if there are any shift in the situation over there, you guys would be able to handle it, there’s a reason I chose to send you, you all are the special team of the church, the Apostles….. ( with a tinge of pride in his voice as he spoke )
UNKNOWN FEMALE VOICE : OK then, we’ll move out at once…. ( Rising from her seated position)
UNKNOWN MALE VOICE : Thank you… I pray Godspeed be with you on this journey into the unknown….
………………..
[End of Flashback]
UNKNOWN MALE VOICE : it sounded so simple, a quick in and out mission, get the ark and return but who could have let out information regarding the mission as it seemed like they were waiting for us, what am I saying??... Of course they were waiting for us, if they weren’t ,how is it possible that the moment we got to the location of the Ark, we were greeted a few minutes later by a demon horde….
[ FLASHBACK ]……………….LOCATION : SOMEWHERE IN THE HEART OF NAMIBIATIME : 2:02PMDATE : UNKNOWNMALE VOICE #1 : Hey Eliza, we found it, the Ark is over hereELIZA : We might have a real problem on our hands at the momentFEMALE VOICE #2 : What’s going on cap??... ( referring to Eliza)ELIZA : The church got really wrong information, the horde that dwelled here never left, they only went into hidingFEMALE VOICE #3 : Oh no….( Staring at the massive darkness in the distance)SIRIUS : It won’t be long before they get here, we have to hurryMALE VOICE #2 : Not everyone is as fast you and I, Si, keep that in mind… what do we do, cap??ELIZA : As it is we are surrounded, Zino seal away the Ark… we can’t afford to lose it now, the rest of you clear a path so we can get out of hereZINO : Alright…… The First sealing thunder : Seal
UNKNOWN MALE VOICE : Yeah, I hate myself for leaving her there, my big sister and the only one that cared to bring me up with love was most likely dead now and….. (a knock is heard)UNKNOWN FEMALE VOICE : Hey Sirius, how long are you gonna stay in there sulking??.... It’s been a week since Eliza left, we need youUNKNOWN MALE VOICE ( SIRIUS) : Leave me alone, Aria… I really don’t wanna talk to anyone right nowUNKNOWN FEMALE VOICE ( ARIA) : You don’t have to talk, Jonathan spotted a horde heading towards our location, Elisha is calling for a meetingSIRIUS : I’ll be there shortly.. ( with reluctance in his voice )ARIA : Good…. You don’t have to worry, Eliza is a strong woman, I’m sure she’s OKSIRIUS : Yeah.. I guess you’re rightMAKESHIFT MEETING HALLELISHA : Hey Sirius, glad you could join usZINO : Was wondering how long you’re gonna be sulking for
SERAYAH : Fighting you guys can get really annoying…. ( she says as she took down a couple of adversaries with a swipe of her blade)Serayah rushes forward cutting left and right with her blade with little effort being wasted downing the demons that stood in her path, she stood still when she realized she was surrounded on all sidesDEMON #5 : What are you going to do now, scumDEMON #6 : Die like the scum you are… ( several of the demons around her create sharpened poles made out of hell fire and proceed to throw it at her)SERAYAH : Tch, not on your life….. Heavenly art : Embodiment of the seraph – first formBright flames come down from the heavens and engulf Serayah in a bright blaze that disintegrated all the poles hurled at her and caused the demons surrounding her to go back a bit, a minute passes by with the demons getting curious to what had happened but it’s not long before the fla
The battle is spread across the island as the apostles use Agares and his forces to let off pent off steam, the intensity of their attacks affected the landscape with numerous explosions erupting around the island from the places which the apostles fought. Agares stood afar watching the battle unfold with the apostles destroying his forces with little or no difficulty at allAGARES : Tch… these humans are quite the challenge to overcome, I wonder why I was chosen to take out such a troublesome bunchSIRIUS : Agares!!!!... ( He yells as he charges towards Agares with immense force, ripping apart everything in his path)Before Agares can react, Sirius lands a blow that launches the earl a few hundred meters away, causing destruction to the earth as he flew past and causing a massive explosion at the point of impact where Agares had stopped with the earl coughing at the force of the blow, Agares manages to get up to his fe
Sirius ceases his attack and rushes to where Agares had landed, upon reaching there he saw no-one, as he is about to leave he senses the presence of another and immediately takes a leap back and turns in the direction of the energy he had felt with Agares emerging from a portal with annoyance on his faceSIRIUS : I’ve never known an archdemon to fight in such a cowardly fashion, masking your presence with that portal and attempting a sneak attack is quite cowardly and I can only but feel bad for Hell for having you amongst it’s upper echelons of authorityAGARES : Silence!!!Agares is beyond angered at Sirius comment and decides to make him pay for it, he creates a blade of pure hell flame and sped towards Sirius attempting to finish it in one strike, unfortunately his plan fell through as Sirius dodged his slash with relative easeSIRIUS : Is that the fastest you can go??... Cause if it is, then I am r
ELISHA : I know you all are still sad over the fact that Eliza is not here with us but right now we have something really important to talk aboutARIA : What’s that ??...( she asks with others showing little interest)ELISHA : Who got the highest number of kills of course, I think I wonThere was silence for a while as the other apostles don’t respond immediately but keep to the moody atmosphere for a few seconds before the ice is brokenCALEB : Don’t kid yourself bro, I’m clearly the one who wonDAVID : Whoa, hold it right there… did you guys see me in action, I was taking down those demons like it was nothingZINO : If I remember properly you were struggling until I arrived to give you moral support ( Zino says with a few muffled chuckles coming from the group)… anyways I’m clearly the winner since I had five minions doing the killing for meSERAYAH : I don’t think it counts a
WAR ANGEL #4 : It’s BeelzebubARCHANGEL #5 : So these guys are really serious with storming heaven’s gate with everything they’ve gotARCHANGEL #6 : Urghh….Beelzebub was a tall figure with a slightly humane look save for say his head which carried two distinct horns, his hands which looked more like the hands of a monster with its scaly skin and long fingers with his legs sharing similar characteristics with his hands, his wings spanned a whooping fifty six by thirty two inches with it looking like those of a bat.BEELZEBUB : I’m honored that you all still remember me despite my changed appearanceARCHANGEL #5 : Why wouldn’t we remember, you defiant…. ( the archangel is not allowed to finish his sentence when a blade slices through his neck beheading him instantly with other angels staring in horror)BEELZEBUB : you will show me respect and not cut me off when I speak, I am not here to banter wo
Beelzebub shakes his head and widens his wings opening a portal large enough to swallow the earth and out of it several black spikes begin to fire out of it at immense speeds with Raphael hitting them away with his blade and he jetted towards Beelzebub to engage in close combat. The force, speed and intensity of Beelzebub’s rain of spikes was getting stronger the closer Raphael get but this did not deter Raphael as he then stopped in his tracks and generated an energy wave from his being that repelled all the spikes From Beelzebub and blinded him momentarily, Before Beelzebub has a chance to regain himself Raphael gives him a huge blow on his shoulder with his blade, only narrowly missing the chance to slice Beelzebub in two due to the latter’s quick reflexes which ended up saving himBEELZEBUB : We are going to keep on coming brother, we will gain access to the throne of grace soon enoughRAPHAEL : I don’t care how many because as many of you that
