A thick darkness envelopes the area in which Paimon and Elijah stood, the other chosen notice this and turn their attention there, they are stunned when the darkness clears and Elijah is gone along with Paimon
HAROLD : Elijah!!!!
CELIA : Where did they go??
KANE : Elijah!!!
LINCOLN : ELIJAH!!!
DIANE : No….
MARCEL : …..
LOCATION : REALM OF LOST SOULS, PURGATORY
TIME : IRRELEVANT
DATE : IRRELEVANT
[ FACTS : *PURGATORY IS A DIMENSION WHERE UNCLEAN SOULS GO TO BE CLEANSED OF THEIR SINS, DUE TO THE FACT THAT MOST SOULS ARE NOT CAPABLE OF DOING ANY GOOD DEEDS IN THIS PLACE THEY NORMALLY END UP BEING TRAPPED FOR ETERNITY.
*THE REALM OF LOST SOULS IS ONE OF THE SEVEN REALMS THE CONSIST OF PURGATORY, ITS SIZE IS ON EQUAL FOOTING WITH THE EARTH’S MOON
*THE EXACT LOCATION OF PAIMON AND ELIJAH IS THE ISLAND OF THE FORGOTTEN WITH ITS SIZE BEING COMPARABLE TO THAT OF ASIA
Paimon and Elijah appear in a dimly lit area with mist covering the place, pain and despair is almost tangible in the air with the smell of hopelessness hanging
ELIJAH : Where is this place, I can literally feel the hopelessness in the atmosphere
PAIMON : This is the realm of lost souls, one of the seven realms that make up purgatory… this is where you shall die
ELIJAH : hmm, this is quite the location you picked, almost like as though you prepared this place for such an encounter ( with a mischievous grin)…. I have to be careful, lord knows what might happen if I act too hastily ( muttering under his breath)
Paimon is vexed by Elijah’s words and it seems Cerberus felt his anger as it let out a deafening roar before proceeding to form a large ball of dark matter in its mouths, Elijah readies himself both physically and mentally for the bout that was about to take place
PAIMON : Die ( Cerberus let’s out the balls it formed after it had amassed enough dark matter to blow up a small country, the size of the balls where the same as wrecking balls as it sped at supersonic speed towards Elijah )
ELIJAH : Tch, I don’t think so…. Heavenly art : Tri-celestial stakes
Three enormous stakes appear behind Elijah and are projected towards the balls, they clash and cause an explosion reminiscent of the destructive effects of a nuclear bomb, with massive shock waves sending Elijah flying backwards, the smoke is cleared by a massive wind and Paimon still sits atop Cerberus with an annoyance on his face, Elijah steadies himself a couple of hundred meters from Paimon and sets his eyes on Cerberus, Paimon stares intently at Elijah before setting Cerberus on Elijah, the monstrous beast rushes towards Elijah with killer intent, Elijah grits his teeth at the beast lumbering towards him
ELIJAH : Heavenly art : Divine beam
He points his right hand towards Cerberus and a massive beam of light is fired from his outstretched arm towards the beast cutting it into two clean halves with the beam going on to hit where Paimon stood with a massive explosion erupting upon impact with another batch of shock waves changing the landscape even further, Cerberus is torn into two halves with blood spilling from its guts
ELIJAH : Quite unfortunate that your beast couldn’t survive one miniature blast ( with a smile on his face)
PAIMON : It’s cute that you think that such an attack would be enough to stop Cerberus ( with a condescending smirk)
ELIJAH : What are you talking about?? ( With his smile turning into a frown)
PAIMON : Why don’t you gaze upon the creature that you claim to have destroyed
Elijah turns his face to where Cerberus stood and was shocked at the sight he saw, Cerberus stood with its guts showing and it’s middle head torn apart, it begins to regenerate with another head forming thus causing Cerberus to grow in size and gain an extra head as well
ELIJAH : What the… how’s that even possible??... That was a point blank attack, yet it shook it off like it was nothing, this is turning out to be quite troublesome
PAIMON : Ha-ha, now let’s see how you fight your way out of Cerberus claws before it rips you to shreds
ELIJAH : Just you watch, idiot….
MEANWHILE BACK AT THE CHURCH
HAROLD : Heavenly art : lightening spear
Harold forms a lightening spear in his right hand and hurls it at a gathered group of demons, the attack decimates the demon group is was hurled at with it also causing a massive crater at the point of impact, more demons gather around Harold and attack him simultaneously
HAROLD : Shit… Heavenly art : Aegis
A lightening barrier forms around him repelling all the enemies attacks with ease, with a wave of his hand the barrier forms into a lightening armor greatly enhancing his speed, strength and agility, he moves at supersonic speed and attacks the demons gathered around him with murderous intent, he clashes with them and begins to cut them down with relative ease
HAROLD : We need to finish up here so that we can go after Paimon and Elijah, who knows what condition Elijah must be in…
CELIA : I hope he’s alright… Heavenly art : Rock warriors
Celia summons an army of stone warriors to assist her in cutting down her adversaries has she mauls down the enemy with fury in her eyes
DEMON GENERAL #1 : These humans are mad, how can they be dealing such damages to our forces while they take no damages, it makes no sense ( with shock on his hellish face )
LINCOLN : Heavenly art : all consuming flame
An enormous wave of black flames erupt from Lincoln and wipes clean every single demon in his vicinity over a hundred meters radius around him, he coats himself in the flame and rushes forward for more encounters, none of the attacks thrown at him by the demons seem to be working has the flames encompassing him seemed to be eating their attacks
LINCOLN : Try all you want, you lot ain’t gonna hurt me with such measly attacks…. Heavenly art : devouring skin
The battlefield is thrown into more chaos has the chosen fight even harder so as to be able to provide assistance to Elijah wherever he may be…
ISLAND OF THE FORGOTTEN ( PURGATORY)
A large explosion can be seen has Elijah battles the hellish creature, Cerberus, Paimon floats above with a smile on his face has he looks upon the battle hoping that Cerberus tore Elijah to pieces. Elijah dodges the assault of Cerberus tails on him has he hops from one place to the other
ELIJAH : I have to do something about this monster before I run out of energy… Heavenly art : Holy sigil of light
A bright light flashes behind Elijah forming a circular sigil behind him with runes circling around the edges, Cerberus attempts to blast Elijah with its dark matter balls but is unsuccessful has a large beam of light is fired from the sigil behind Elijah which wipes out everything in his view with even Cerberus howling from the impact
ELIJAH : Did that work??
Cerberus stands with enormous scars on its being, three of its heads had been completely destroyed and it’s body was torn to pieces with Elijah seeing it’s internal organs, it’s not too long before Cerberus starts to regenerate with its size increasing even further
ELIJAH : Damn it, that didn’t work as well, how am I supposed to defeat something that just gets stronger no matter how I injure it……( he trails off has an idea comes to mind)
PAIMON : Now you see that your attacks are futile, give up and die already.. ( he says has he bursts into a sinister laugh)
ELIJAH : Not yet, I’m not giving up just yet ( with a smile on his face)…. Heavenly art : Mirror reflection + duplication
Elijah creates two extra duplicates of himself and rushes towards Cerberus without a care in the world
PAIMON : you must be really desperate to think of launching a head on assault…. Cerberus rip him to shreds!!!
Cerberus begins to charge towards Elijah as well, as it is about to make contact with Elijah, he moves out of the way, his duplicates moving in opposing directions
ELIJAH : Heavenly art : flashing lights
A blinding light from Elijah outs off both Cerberus and Paimon has both are blinded by its shine, by the time they regain their sight, Elijah has surrounded Cerberus from all three sides
PAIMON : What the….
ELIJAH : Heavenly art : Big ball of spiraling light
DIANA : Which is why she is acting so aggressive towards us. That I can understand ( Diana says with her eyes fixated on the general)ARTHUR : I never would have thought that this was the reason for her attitude. She must be really scarredALEXANDER : I’m sorry for your loss, General. I know it must be rough having to deal with the fact that your own daughter secretly resents you and the fact that you support the church even after everything that has happened. ( He asserts in a calm voice)GENERAL MULLIGAN : Don’t get me wrong, Alex. I still question the Father every night asking why he would let Miranda die in such a gruesome manner but in the end I guess her beliefs rubbed off on me ( He remarks as he then took his seat)ALEXANDER : I can understand. May I ask a favorGENERAL MULLIGAN : Yes anything. What is it ( He replies as he regained his composure)ALEXANDER : I would like to have a chance to prove to Ele
GENERAL MULLIGAN : Ahem. As I was saying. I can understand just how fatigued you might feel. With the amount of responsibility on your shoulders, it’s a wonder you haven’t broken down. For so long this war as been going on. So many have fallen trying to protect what remains of humanity. That responsibility alone is enough to break a man. So I say thank you for all you have sacrificed to protect humanity. Because of men like you, humanity can rest easy hoping that one day we will be free.ALEXANDER : That us a dream I would like to see fulfilled as well and I know that with the blessings of the Father, that dream will soon become a reality.ELENA : Oh please. Do not lump in humanity’s survival with that made up being you choose to follow ( Elena remarks in a condescending tone )ALEXANDER : Sorry what do you mean by that??ELENA : I said that you should not lump in humanity’s survival on a being that doesn’t even exist.ARTHUR : Hmm, ar
ALEXANDER : A human drawing powers from hell who calls himself the Shadow KingALL OF HAVEN’S REPRESENTATIVES : The shadow king?? ( Speaking out in unison )ALEXANDER : Yes. We came to this realization after we had defeated the undead army. We were triumphant in the first battle but then he introduced himself via a cluster of dark clouds which helped to show that he has mastered the dark powers quite well. After an exchange of words, he summoned an army of shadows to test our mettle in battle. It took me a while to realize it but our opponent is quite the strategic kind. No matter whom the opponent is, he would rather try to gauge his opponent first before he does anything else. A tactic which he has already employed twice.COMMANDER KELLER : This might prove to be quite troublesome if you are right and we truly are up against a strategic mind. ( She remarks with a worried look on her face)SAMSON : Truth be told, we had no idea that was what he w
GENERAL MULLIGAN : I call this meeting of Haven’s leaders and the representatives of the Holy knights to begin. Since you all so formally introduced yourself. It would not be good if we did not do the same to get ourselves acquainted, Don’t you agree commander ( He remarks with Alex obliging)ALEXANDER : I see no reasons why I should object so please go aheadGENERAL MULLIGAN : Alright then. I am General H. Mulligan. Commander in chief other Armed Forces and also leader of Haven. Nice to make your acquaintance.COMMANDER STANTON : I am Commander R. Stanton. High commander of the Armed Forces and second in command to the general in the leadership of this great nation. ( He remarks with a salute before casually taking his seat again)COMMANDER E. KELLER : I am Commander E. Keller. Second in command of the Armed Forces and assistant to the general.DR. ALLAN : Dr. A. Allan. Head of medical services in HavenM
Alexander and the thirteen warriors stood at the gates with several prying eyes setting sights on them as murmurs flew round, some where in awe of the presence of the knights, while others questioned the reason the knights had gathered in the capital on such short notice fearing for the worse as they spoke. Sounds of vehicles are heard coming from a distance after which a number of vehicles come to a halt close to where Alexander and his men were waiting. A couple of military men come out of the vehicles after which General Mulligan and a suited woman come out from the same vehicle. Alexander sets his eyes on the lady with Mulligan and is taken aback by her beauty; She wore a black suit jacket on top of a purple blouse with a black corporate skirt and black heels to match, her hair shone a dark brown color and was tired in a horse tail style. Her eyes were covered as she wore shades and a beautiful emerald necklace hung around her neck.Alex has his eyes on the lady for

DRAKE / SHADOW KING : I can’t believe it ( He remarks with a mixed expression of shock and interest on his face )… he destroyed my shadows in one hit, quite impressiveSHIVA : I had warned you that your gamble would not tiled the results you intended, master ( She says matter of factly )DRAKE / SHADOW KING : Oh please be quiet Shiva, do not talk in such a foolish manner. Of course my plan yielded results ( He remarks with a smirk as he rose from his seat)SHIVA : What do you mean?? ( She asks a bit upset with how Drake had addressed her)DRAKE / SHADOW KING : Listen carefully; yes I do admit that my plan to see the thirteen in action so as to be able to gauge their abilities was not a complete success but there is no way you can call it a failure as we were able to get a sneak peek at nine artilleries which is just as rewarding, don’t you think??

MEANWHILE BACK ON THE BATTLEFIELDAlexander is seated atop his horse, stationed at the middle of the battle with the ground on which he stood raised a bit higher than the surrounding. Alex stares intently at the battle before him as he rummages through his thoughts, he doesn’t draw his sword neither does he make a move as he shifted his gaze towards the dark horizon. He tightens his grip on his straddle before finally setting himself at easeALEXANDER : Enough!!!! ( He yells out at the top of his lungs halting the attacks of the knights as his voice echoed across the battlefield )…. Retreat!! ( He orders with the Holy knights staring at him wide eyed at his order)HOLY KNIGHT #7 : Did the commander just tell us to retreat or am I hearing wrongly?? ( She asks in surprise)HOLY KNIGHT #9 : You aren’t the only one who heard that, what the hell is the commander thinking?? ( He questions as he held onto his weapons)ALEXANDER : Fall b
Arthur runs through a cluster of shadows, wielding Excalibur in hand as it glowed with a golden hue. The creatures were repelled by the light and could not take a hold of his as any attempt ended with a shaped creature burned to a crisp. Arthur does not care for the small fries as he runs towards something much bigger; a shadow monster the size of a sky scraper was moving onto short and he knew that it would pose a serious threat to the knights if it got into the battlefield. The monster notices Arthur’s dash and sends more shadows his way but Arthur slices through it with one strike of his blade as he leaps into the air and sends an arc of energy straight at the creature, his attack does so much as to cause the creature pain as it screeched in a loud voice upon impact but it didn’t slow it’s movement as it soon recovered from the blow and reached out for Arthur who was still in mid airARTHUR : Shit!! ( Arthur exclaims as he attempts to
