On a cool evening in Drey Metro City. Its a regular day, vehicular and pedestrian traffic dot is well lit streets, giving a glimpse of its busy atmosphere.
The city seems peaceful and calm as it should be... Then, with a soft whirring and a
THUUUUUWWW!!!
BANG!!!
The main road explodes in a series of light, flames and heat. Screams of pain and horror could be heard as people ran in fright. Many souls were lost, many wounded, but at the centre of the explosion was a figure.
It didn't look human at all; standing at about 10 feet tall with features that demons in movies could have.
It had three horns on its head, a long draconic tail and spike all over its body.
Soon the smoke cleared for the victims and the scared citizens to see what had attacked them.
"Demon!!!" A woman screamed, causing every one to run in a frightened stampede.
The demon, with its while scaly body and grey fur on its arms and neck, looked nonchalantly at the fleeing humans
"Pest, lessers really act like pests" he said looking at them scatter like ants.
The demon stretched its arm and began to gather what seemed to be magical energy in form of a ball.
"Feed me with your fear land walkers"
Suddenly, the void of space bent at his words. Flakes of reddish purple light energy began floating out of the peoples pores, forming a ball of light around the palm of the demon.
The demons face was eyeless, but its faces reaction show joy and glee. The people it harvested of the unknown lights began to fall face down to the ground, exasperated and tired, but most of all...
Happy...
A creepy smile of joy creeped on their lips. It was like they had lost all feeling of fear in their life. Some even began laughing maniacally.
"Ahhh!!! I love when they fear... I hungered for it for so long..."
Suddenly, the eyeless demons long ear twitched, causing it to look at a distance...
"Oh, human technology huh?" He thought, looking at the distance.
DRDDRDEDEDRDRDRDRDEDR!!!
The sound of chopper rotors revolving at fast speeds came from the horizon of tall high risers. The military had arrived.
Soon, streaks of light and smoke burst from the choppers, they had opened fire.
The demon did not dodge, but instead, let the missiles and large bullets hit him.
A cacophony of explosions erupted in the horizon, causing a storm of fire and smoke to cover the sky.
The choppers were followed by jets, which dropped missiles on the target.
Soon the firing stopped, the choppers running out of ammo
"Infrared scanning complete, target neutralized... All units return to base ..." One of the pilots made a call, but was stopped almost immediately.
Immediately, the pilot started choking, as if the air in his lungs was been pulled out.
"Oh sorry could you repeat that? Neutralized? Gehehehe!" The smoke cleared as the demon, which should have been destroyed by all that fire power, seemed unharmed and unfazed...
"The fact that you sent people against me means you fear me... Foolish land walkers"
The pilots in all the choppers began to choke. The jets instantly plummeted into the ground, creating plumes of explosion in the distance.
"What a man fears, he either avoids, or seeks to destroy. I am Fear!!! The fear that made you invent the lightbulb to drive away darkness. The fear that makes you create weapons to fight amongst yourselves, the fear that keeps you all searching for eternal life... I am that Fear!!!" He announced, stretching his arms out as he began swinging them. The orbs of fear energy he'd absorbed began to fly around, absorbing the fear from all the pilots, causing them to begin to laugh in joy. They lost their minds and soon began plummeting down to the earth.
The explosions of their crashes killed many more, causing terror and destruction to follow.
"This is why you all are land walkers. You were made to be limited, to be food for the princes of the air, to be fuel for us... Even your God has abandoned you, what can you possibly do to stop me... Even if he was here, there is nothing he can do to me..."
"By who's logic?"
A voice spoke out, causing all the sound around to cease. It felt like the world had become a void.
Suddenly, things began to go in reverse. The crashed choppers suddenly reassembled and then return to their original positions, as if they were going in reverse. And not only that. Everything seemed to be going in reverse.
It all went as far as to prior to the destruction of the city. It was like nothing even happened. The only difference was that, nobody noticed the demon floating in the air. It was like it never even existed.
"Wh..what..whaaat!!! Who are you? Angels aren't allowed to intervene in this world"
"I'm not an angel. And who told you they weren't allowed to interfere?" The voice spoke again
"But lord Morningstar"
"Satan, Levi, The Devil, Snake eyes yada yada... But please, stop calling him Morningstar"
"But..."
"He lied, what were you expecting?"
Soon the world changed... It was a world that couldn't be seen with the naked eye, but existed overlapping existence. In it, beings of different shapes and sizes roamed around, to and from the city. Some for help, others for destruction.
The world seemed to be more colorful than the real world, the sky bluer and more livelier
"Limbo? How did you... Who are you?"
"I keep wondering, why do you always transcend to the human realm, knowing that the heavens would intervene every... Single... Time. Like you guys make my life here so, unfun"
The demon was petrified in fear and shock. He had transcended from limbo after days of planning and absorbing miniscule amounts of Fear energy from across the veil, empowering himself slowly, before he was able to find a seam and cross the veil...
But to be stopped so easily, his plans foiled so easily and then returned back to limbo so easily, he couldn't believe it...
"Who.... Are you?"
Soon he heard footsteps. He looked to his side, a figure was just standing next to him.
He had white hair and an unusually tanned skin, but his face was hidden behind a veil of light, obscured to even his spiritual gaze.
One other factor that scared him more was the fact that this person appeared next to him unnoticed.
"For a lesser demon of fear, you sure are scared... Well, you guys do know the Father and tremble"
The demon growled in anger, rage shown from how he grinds his teeth together.
"I'll end you!" He roared, throwing a fist at the figure. But what followed made him question his abilities of a spiritual entity.
His hand didn't hit, in fact it was worse than he thought. His hand just passed right through him, like he was a ghost.
"Impossible!!!"
He threw another punch, then another... Nothing was hitting at all. None of them hit him at all, it all phased through him.
"Hah, don't waste my time, it's getting boring" the man yawned loudly, then he placed his palm on the chest of the demon and pushed slightly.
BOOM!!!
All the demon remembered was himself flying away and fast speeds. And then with a bang, he crashed into multiple buildings before crashing at the outskirts of the city.
He picked a whole pile of dirt, somersaulting in the air, before he was stopped...
Stopped by a gentle hand at his back.
"Man, even when I sent you that hard, you're so slow at crashing" the man appeared at the demons back, placing his hand on his back.
The demon made a turn and began to channel energy that he had gathered prior.
"Well, fuck you, you're dead!"
"Sure, go ahead and try."
The demon created an orb of reddish purple light and tossed it at the man, who stood their, his hands in his pockets.
The orbs gathered the air around it, as it a black hole had been formed. If this ball was detonated in the city, nothing but a large city wide crater would have been left.
But then the orb got close to the man, it's shrunk visibly, before vanishing into non existence.
The demon was shocked and mesmerized. Its attack made it a formidable powerhouse even amongst lesser demons, even the Legion feared his abilities to compress black holes.
'Weren't black holes supposed to be infinite in mass?'
"Uh, no, black holes CAN be Infinite in mass, but when they meet true power... Infinity becomes countable"
Now the demon knew he was in big trouble. This guy's was definitely an archangel at minimum... Maybe even a Seraphim.
"Who are you, state your name and title Angel of the Father"
The man yawned, bored and seemingly tired. He then pulled his white hair covering his neck, revealing a mark.
"It.... It cannot be... You're supposed to be dead... Who... How, but... How are you still alive"
The man smiled and then, snapped his fingers.
BWUUUUUMMMM!!!
A muffled explosion followed, followed by a burst of light. When the demon looked again, it's body was gone.
For the first time, it truly felt fear.
'This guy, hell is in trouble'
And so, his head and consciousness disappeared forever.
