Chapter 45 - The Riders of Vengenace

A alien being stands alone in a swamp. The swamp is on another planet. A place of sorrow and loneliness. And he the Devil. There standing before him a goddess. A being shrouded in black and purple. Covering her face. It says to a fellow god. The world is ending, make a stand.Then the god says run woman god I care not for you. Then he struck her down. And she turned into a stag and galloped off. He let her go.There was nowhere to run anymore.Everything is pointless. Death cannot be avoided one way or another.A samurai of pink and purple, a person of sorrow and rage. A person who promised to her dying parents that she would never stop smiling. The earth is dying. And right now nothing could be done. Earthquakes ran rampant. Whirlwinds destroyed whole civilizations. Fire erupted from the heavens. And water rose to consume whole continents. The elements were enraged. She didn't know why. The druids have never seen anything like it. She looks to the heavens and sees a person.She knew he was the one responsible. He looks at her and laughs. A being etched in her mind a cowboy. With a yellow handkerchief tied around his neck. This world will be torn apart. Not if I have anything to say about it. I will hunt you down and destroy you. You threaten the lives of innocents.He laughs and then is struck down from the heavens by an enormous force of light. Then the earth opens up and swallows him which then closes. No trace of him remains.As the dust settles she looks to the stars. It's nighttime. And says out loud.We must look to the stars. Until Planet Earth,our home , has forgiven us. She gets up and leaves. The whole population of earth heard what happened. Deep down in their hearts. They must flee earth.Meanwhile in hell. The Devil appears.And stands before him the child cowboy. He looks to him and says. It must end all of it. You will be the instrument of destruction. And then will be sent to hell as a reward. With no choice the cowboy says with resignation. With that a column of fire from the heavens. Strikes the cowboy down leaving nothing but a standing flaming skeleton. His yellow handkerchief still there. Tied to his chest as a symbol of shame. There on the emblazoned on it is the words Whore of Babylon.Meanwhile in earth among the stars. The samurai looks to the direction of the earth and she smiles one last time. One day she will return and conquer the evil elements. One day. For now though the human race must persevere. Then the rockets from all over the world lifted into hyperspace. And they all cried. With earth conquered by the evil elements. The humans called there new home Planet Terra. And populated it. It had no sentient life. But lots of wildlife. And as the nations that left earth colonized it. They eventually forgot about earth. And focused to the other planets. Only the samurai remained. Still young and beautiful. Her name was Chizuke. And she was goddess of spring. Meanwhile in Arrown trouble was brewing once again. Gods and beings have rallied to destroy the evil god Thereizdun. The god of destructive nihilistic genocide. The hooded stag returned. And she changed shape into a human. Goddess she may be she was still just a vessel for an unseen force. And purposely limited her own powers. As the unseen cosmic rules dictated. Arrown is now filled with godless abominations. Creatures from beyond the stars that can overcome even her. However it can't truly destroy her as she simply gets recreated and comes back rebuilt and resurrected. By the cosmic powers that be. However even gods feared to tread beyond the safety of the stars for it has its own rules. All of which are alien,cruel and unknowable even to mad gods. With Bat dead and the other nobles in hiding Arrown has grown into a truly terrifying place. Beings that have rallied included the Whore. Who nobody trusted. It was known that the Devil wants to destroy all of creation. And it was a matter of pride that he wished to end this upstart god who thought he could beat the Devil. At his own game. Meanwhile in the deserts of Abel a being materializes from the sand. A being who had pale skin. Covered in black leather, a red mask made of cloth covering his face except for his eyes. He had two holsters by his sides each with unusual looking guns of an unearthly nature. After awhile he looks up at the sky. Then looks forward down. Then he dematerializes into sand. Meanwhile in the deserts of Texas. It is night. There is a being resting in a ghost town. Inside a tavern. In a chair. He had red garb than the first Stranger except he had a katana and a pistol. He wakes up seeing something disturbing. A maiden. He gets up and looks. She's gone and in her place a gravestone. Martha Yao, died 1530. Was written on the gravestone. With that the Stranger gets up and whistles. And a horse appears seemingly out of nowhere appears it's eyes white and it's skin darkness. It almost seems like it's dripping. It neighs and he leaves town on the fiendish horse.In Africa there's a being with the colors of green. And he was covered in feathers of some serpent made from the stuff of rainbow. From a distant land of sacrifice and blood. But also honor. However he has lived his life away from Mexico most of his life now. But he had a rifle on his back from his time in the west. It may seem time to come back as he sees a rift in the fabric of reality. And in it he sees America.
