It All Started with an Apple. Subtitled: Lucifer's forbidden fruit

Chapter 35 Micheal, Gabriel and Lucifer

Michael and Gabriel stand before their father in heaven humbly yet unsure as he finishes telling them how these dark Lords came to be. Neither understand how or why he kept this from all of them these all these irons. From the beginning they were kept from the complete truth of the beginning of time, kept in the dark as these powerful creatures were contained to the night by the light of the day. Both want to question him but free will is not allowed, instead they await God's will and word on what to do next and how to do it. His words bring fear to them when he finally gives his order. It becomes clear that Lucifer is planning to lead Asmodeus and his army into heaven and to God. As their father's powerful light fades- his voice becomes distant Michael stands from his knee and faces Gabriel with a troubled yet determined look in his eyes.

"I will never allow Asmodeus or Leviathan access to our father. I will take their heads and Lucifers. Gabriel, we must alert the others and prepare them for the battle of our existence. I will take the Northside of heaven you take the South and spread the word, be ready as I will be ready for them." Michael commands.

Gabriel nods his head in understanding- knowing now was not the time to ponder on brotherhood. He like Michael and all the angels had a responsibility to protect God and the light. He watches a few fleeting moments as Michael spreads his golden wings wide then disappears in a flash to gather the other warrior angels. With a few deep breaths he then extends his own magnificent wings and sets forth to prepare the others.

"Raphael, Ariel, Azrael, Chamuel, Haniel, Jeremiel, Jophiel, Raguel, Raziel, Zadkiel, and Ramiel, today we fight to protect our father and all of heaven. We fight a force as strong as God our father. We must not let these creatures defeat us- you, myself and all the angels here must fight together here and now!" Michael chants, the sword of justice and deliverance held high in his mighty hand. All of heaven cheers in agreement with their own swords held high- wings extend in unison- all prepared to fight to the end.

Meanwhile just beyond the entrance to the heaven Lucifer, Asmodeus and Leviathan stand together in armor with their own swords of fire and death. Behind them stands thousands of fallen angels and djinn ready to perish in the final war with God and his light. There was no need for chanting or speeches because each knew the importance of the battle and the result if they failed. All eyes and pupils fall to Lucifer as he closes his immortal eyes and extends his massive wings. The concentration- determination etched on his hardened face is enough to ensure success in destroying the shield of protection standing between them and their destination.

Lucifer gathers up every inch of his strength and power as he stands before the force field that keeps heaven safe from enemies. His eyes shut-still seeing all that exist before and beyond him. His wings tremble from the intensity of his powerful mind and its gathering of energy. His entire being becomes one huge mass of destruction to the point his hands and knees are shaking- trembling as many lost souls would tremble and cower before him in fear when they are sent to his fiery pits. He hesitates a few lingering moments before his eyes fly open and he sends forth a massive energy ball of pure fire and ice- shooting forth from his very core. The force field is severed utterly and instantly. With a mighty roar his lion, alongside Asmodeus and Levithan's wolf and Panther lead them all into heaven.

Doves and sparrows cry. Ravens crows squawk as the battle rages on. Steel against steel sending sparks of fire into the skies. Angel and Djin falling to their death with each powerful thrust of the others sword or spear. Death and decay mingle with nature and beauty, each trembling as they try to outdo the other. Gabriel watches with sad eyes as his fellow angelic comrades both fall and defeat. He feels guilty and agonized due to both God and Michael's demand that he stay out of the battle and only observe it from afar. His troubled eyes watch as first Ariel and then many of the others fall to Asmodeus and Leviathan's massive blades. They observe as his wayward brother Lucifer slaughter several with no mercy or regret.
