This Devil May Cry

Chapter 7

"Mamon brought more and more evil and corruption. The rotten souls fueled the kingdom of darkness. His power had grown tenth fold and it was only a matter of time until he would have overthrown the kingdom of light. His influence flourished on earth. It would all be his again soon, he could smell it.

"The angels initiated their own battle this time. Both sides fought with everything they had, the humans were in peril once again. But their prayers were going unanswered, they had been abandoned. Those humans who were loyal to the light fought alongside the angels. The blood stained white wings of the Angels flew through the air like comets. Humans fell left and right, most of the ancient angels who had sided with Mamon in the beginning were killed. Mamon was holding his ground however, only crying internally for his fallen brothers and sisters. He was ready for the contract to be broken.

"The humans screamed for the creator, and were met with silence. They were not aware that they had been abandoned. The Angels only whispered good thoughts to them to encourage them to fight. It had become personal, the humans were just pawns in the battle. The Angels wanted to wipe out all the demons, they wanted to wipe out the reason for their creators speculated abandonment.

    "Heads flew and bodies littered the battle field. Evil was winning, Mamon was winning, the battle coming to an end. Two trusted angels were the only ones that were still alive by Mamon's side, the rest were demons. Mamon who stood tall above them all, his sword raised high and slashing through the bodies. All the centuries of being oppressed were to come to an end.

 "Ariel, the one commanding the angels, confronted Mamon in battle. Both held their ground. Covered in blood both beings were the epitome of true warriors. Ariel seeing that fate was not on their side made one last blow. He shone his light on Mamon and for a moment he blinded him, that was all he needed. Ariel stabbed his hand through Mamoms chest and with the last of his strength he ripped the gift of creation from him. A thunderbolt was herd throughout the battle field and Mamon fell down. He let out a roar realizing what Ariel had done. He lunged at Ariel with rage.

    "He thrust a deadly blow to Ariel and the angel fell. Mamon ripped his wings and held them up for everyone to see. The battle was won. The Angels spread their wings, and flew. They retreated in defeat, leaving behind their human followers. With this last death Mamon had broken the contract, free to roam the earth. But Mamon did not feel victorious, he had suffered a great blow.

    "With the power of creation not in him anymore, he could not give birth to his devils. His hatred had turned from the humans to the Angels. He went back to his underworld and plotted against the light. He had warned the rest of his brothers and sisters that this would be a possible outcome one day, but they did not heed his warning they cast him out instead. Mamon's last two surviving brothers comforted him but to no avail. 

"Everything Mamon had predicted had came true. He had to find a way to build his army back up to wipe out the rest of the Angels. He was not going to let them get away. He entered into a deep sleep in his underworld. Healing from his wounds and plotting for when he awoke he would have a great plan.

"The humans still prayed and they still did the devils work. Mamon's and the creators influence still flowed through them. Angels would come down from time to time to help the humans from the demons, but they had mainly become toys and instruments to feed their egos. Without the creator no more Angels could be birthed, they were the last of their race. So were the surviving demons, Mamon could not birth anymore devils. Both races were at the brink of extinction. 

"Both demons and angels hid from each other not able to afford any loses. Mamon became solemn and bitter. He had enough of the wars, he was tired of it all. He wished for the day before the humans tainted his kingdom. But those days were long gone. Mamon no longer wanted to be part of the chaos, he went into a deep slumber hoping to wake up in a new world. He slept for centuries. HIs name forgotten to the humans who had once aided him as well.

    "Finally Mamon awoke. The world had changed since he last saw it. The balance was gone, humans were exterminating themselves. For the first time, he felt completely indifferent about them. All he once fought for was obsolete, for all he wants now is for the old world he was born into to thrive once again. He wants us to roam the earth as before, before the creator got bored and created the human race. Although he did not care about the human lives on earth he knew they could still be used to his advantage.

    "Mamon created a ritual, one where humans could summon his powers for their own personal gain. Through this ritual one of his devils would be summoned to guide that humans into the battle field. He would share some of his power with the human, making them only a half demon. This was the only way to get more soldiers, he had found a loop hole through the one thing he had once hated and despised. Humans. Eventually through time, the half breeds gave in fully to the dark side and lost all their humanity.

    "Those who fight for him will be given immortality. We will be the last ones standing, finally wiping out all our enemies and going back to the ancient times. This was what Aums was trying to do, he wanted to summon me in order to gain power and immortality. But, he got into a little accident and instead you summoned me, by accident or not you are stuck with me from now on till the end of time."
