STARS

BATTLE AND BANISHMENT.

Loud went a bugle held by Devil. With it came the battle every demon in the universe had wished to fight in. But many of them would have the opportunity of fighting the likes of Michael and his chiefs today. Out came many demons from the containers of Antares. Close to 'innumerable', they were indeed much. At first when the bugle did its job, Lucifer and his companions including Devil broke out of their hiding place and engaged Michael and his companions in battle. But at the front of the throne house, the chiefs who were still contemplating whether to break into Alpha's home or not suddenly found themselves trapped as they were the first target of the released demons which were like hundreds of swarming locusts. More of Solars' fighters noticed this and quickly went to their aid to help them fight their way out of the swarm. It worked, but the mighty angels were frustrated. They were scattered. They were with no idea of were to start from and fight because demons now flew everywhere in heaven just aiming to disorient and not necessarily fight the angels as they knew that would be suicide. Michael and his troop on their own part managed to contain Lucifer and his cohorts from breaking out further and giving more commands to the demons who scarily flew all over heaven.

Then the worst thing happened. About 600 thousand Solar warrior angels with no indication suddenly formed a fighting formation and violently headed to destroy Michael and his troop. In a split second, Michael with his brave warriors found themselves fighting on two fronts, facing enemy and friends at the same time. They were grossly outnumbered but they fought on, even with more of Solar's enemies gaining grounds against Michael and his troop. Michael as well as his companions found themselves surrounded by both former enemies and newly discovered foes. He didn't believe his eyes when he saw his close friend Lucifer taking sides with Devil and even fighting by him. He even thought it as a dream when more of his subordinates change their alliance and began to fight him and his troop.

The cowardly demons were still flying all over the place just to distract the angels from noticing that Michael was in trouble. They fell for the distraction as all other angels chased any demon he could find to slay. But Ezer discovered this trickery and immediately took 400 thousands warriors with him to rescue Michael and his remaining troop as he saw that they were falling by the sword.

The help came in time especially for Michael as he was loosing strength. They managed to push Satan and his loyals towards a point were more angels could join in fighting off their chief invaders. It was c*****e. Many Solar angels fell that day and almost all Antares guardians that came for battle fell too. Demons were not exempted as most of them too fell for the superior might of their enemies.

Then with a great appearance of a thousand lightenings, the greatest of all warriors showed up. The Lord God of hosts. The mighty God. The ancient of days. The creator of the best Domain. The one who will rule all according to the prophecies and will defeat the greatest evils in the universe. The Alpha and Omega. He came out of the throne house and with the deepest cry, he said.

"Oh Devil. Without fear of my wrath, you have come to my place and desicrated it with your foul presence. You old enemy of mine. Now I will show you that my name is Jehovah the greatest."

Every fight came to a stand still as all beheld Alpha with his awesome might and brightness. Without delay all Solar fighters rallied around Alpha waiting for a command. He was surely their number one soldier,

Lucifer tried all he could to hide his face in shame from Alpha, but that wasn't possible. Alpha gave Lucifer some intense stares that immediately shook the betrayer from within. In all these, Devil wasn't deterred. He still walked up to the space between Alpha and His faithful and his own group, who by now were now clustered together, no more flying like reckless birds, but came together to act as a united and stronger force.

By now a battle line was drawn but with the bold Devil in-between the face off, with no fear at all he said.

"Alpha, you are a big liar. To yourself and to your subjects. You think you will one day rule the universe? Well, as long as I'm here, there will be no ruling for you. I don't fear you Alpha. My masters might fear you, but believe me, I know the prophecies like the back of my hand and I know your weaknesses. Where it will hit you most. Mark my words, this is not the last of me."

With anger, more intense than the light around Him, Alpha rushed towards Devil. He grew massively in size as He moved. But as wise as Devil was, he immediately pulled the frightful Lucifer to stand right in front of him to mediate between him and Alpha. Seeing the one that once brought joy to the whole of heaven, Alpha stopped His attack. With tears in His eyes He said.

"Lucifer...my Lucifer. After all I have done for you. Giving you a gift that everyone wants. Lifting you up from a low ranked angel to the third in command in heaven. Lucifer I had more plans for you but it's all thwarted by your foolish pride. Now I have no choice but to reject my own whom I created to be very great. I just can't kill you. I don't want to. Instead, you will be punished for trying to overcome your king. From now henceforth Devil and Lucifer are one. I call you Satan. In one being but with different opposing minds always struggling with each other but with evil as the prevailing force. You will be cast into earth to live with your loyals until I am ready to properly punish you all. You will have the ability to change form. You will still have your powers, but as time goes by, your powers will become limited. I send you all down. Now!!!"

Devil and Lucifer miraculously merged as one being and with no control, all of Solar's enemies both demons and angels alike all fell from heaven.

'I beheld Satan fall from heaven like lightening and all his host followed after him. Was entering earth a grave mistake? Did my father do something really wrong here? Earth was still very young and still not corrupted. With no doubt, the introduction of Satan into earth would spell doom for the inhabitants. Especially for man who was made in the very image of my father. But still He knows everything. This can't be a mistake.' Jesus thought while looking from the top of Alpha's throne room.

Jesus was nearly correct in all his thoughts. Even though Alpha knew everything, He always had a way of manipulating factors to dance to His tune. This time, His anger took the better part of Him to make Him send His biggest enemy to the best mortal place in the universe. Although He realized that this wasn't good, and then had a thought that Devil also wanted this to happen, it was too late. Satan and his followers had landed on earth with a great painful fall. But then Alpha thought. 'I'm God. Nothing can get past me just like that. Satan wants earth, he will get earth really well. It's time for a new story to begin. The story of man.'

There was celebrations in heaven after the fall of Satan and his followers to earth. This was after the mourning for those who died in the short battle. But everyone rejoiced for victory against the enemy and every other angel that went into hiding came out rejoicing. They praised God endlessly. Scorpii was later sent to a prison in his own Antares after a trial by all other Gods of Milky way. Antares was given to Alpha to control.

Every event that just happened would shape the future in many ways. But when the demonic lords heard of Devil's defeat and banishment, they surprisingly rejoiced too. Devil was now in a special location to make them victorious.
