                Part 4 of Dark enemies, Dark allies......


    Keith entered the room soon after Lucifer. He was surprised to see
what was inside. The red light shone through the room that really seemed
to go on forever. It was a little narrow, and the walls were the same
brimstone as all the other rooms except Lucifer�s throne room. Lined up
against the walls were gun racks, thousands of metal, black guns. He
could only see thousands but there were more likely millions if you kept
on going. Guns of all varieties, from handguns to machine guns.
    Lucifer picked up a small hand held a machine gun and looked it over
smiling. �You are surprised aren�t you?� When Keith nodded Lucifer began
to talk again. �Just because were in
legends with swords and bows doesn�t mean we still use them.�
    Keith looked all around in marvel at all the guns. It was amazing,
and he couldn�t with to use them. All of the guns too shot everything
down with, to kill.
    Then he realized what he was saying. He must be losing grip on his
humanity already. He looked behind him to see his shadow was only half
the size it should be. He then heard the voice of Lucifer. �It�s not
that bad. Get used to it. You�ll be here a long time, a very long time.
You are almost a demon, nothing all that big though.�
    Keith then felt a rush of rage as though he wanted to kill Lucifer,
but he couldn�t. He couldn�t give into the demon rising within him and
the falling of his soul. He had to press on against this thing, at least
until he eliminated whoever started this whole ordeal.
    Lucifer put the gun back on the rack and looked at the floor. �Do
you want to know the truth now, the whole truth?�
    Keith nodded. �I don�t care how hard it is or what it�s about. Just
tell me the truth, and only the truth.�
    �Fine, you want to know the truth.� Lucifer paused for a breath and
then began the long story. �Less then a decade ago, your civilization
was in terrible trouble. Disease, famine, crime, war, everything
possible was going wrong. Then miraculously a new government is instated
and a new religion bringing peace and prosperity. Mankind didn�t have
the skills to do that, so there�s another group behind it. A group
called the Fallen Angel�s.�
    Keith was surprised, he knew it was the truth but didn�t want to
believe it. �Who are these, Fallen Angel�s, and what do they want?�
    �Listen to the rest of the story and you will find out.� He paused
again for a breath and continued. �A long time ago, before mankind,
everything lived in the heavens. It was a place for the good and
righteous. But there were many who didn�t like this who were, evil. So
those people were banished.�
    Keith nodded. �So that was you and the demons who were banished, but
what of the Fallen Angels?�
    �There were many more then you would think that were banished from
the heavens. But there was an argument between the two leaders, me and
my sister Lilith. So then we broke apart and formed two groups, the
demon�s and the Fallen Angel�s.�
    Keith was wondering what this had to do with the part of the story
that he was involved in. �So what does this have to do with the events
of the past few years?�
    �Well the reason we split up was over mankind. Mankind had shown up
a couple thousand years before we left. Lilith wanted to enslave mankind
and retake the heavens. While I thought we should fight our own battles
and rid ourselves of the humans.�
    Keith sighed, he didn�t want to know the rest. He knew it was going
to be bad, very bad.
    �So, when mankind was in it�s greatest need, the Fallen Angel�s came
and created a government and a religion to control mankind. They had to
make it a paradise so the people
wouldn�t revolt. Your people are but tools.�
    �So how will they get mankind to help them attack the heavens?�
    �We don�t know the exact plan but we know most of it. They�re
planning to get the government in massive trouble over the church.
Probably by burning them down or killing priests. This will strengthen
the hold of the religion on the people as they rally against the
government. Once the government is overthrown, it will be replaced by
the church. Then the church will tell them that the killings were an act
of the evil ones who are trying to destroy them, that the evil ones were
controlling the government. This will make the people angry, very angry
that they will take up arms against the evil ones, or the angels as
would be a true name. Then they�ll turn mankind on us. Remember that
belief is a very powerful weapon.�
    Keith looked at all the racks of guns and wondered how many would
die. Demon�s, angel�s, fallen angel�s everyone. �The enemy�s plan is a
little over elaborate. But why don�t the angel�s do something?�
    Lucifer pulled a different gun from a rack. A long barreled rifle
that looked of master quality and very deadly. �The angel�s are
oblivious to all things outside of heaven. But when their world is to
rubble, they will have no one to blame but themselves.�
    �So when do we plan how to remove the Fallen Angel�s from my world?�

    �All in good time. We will plan within the hour. But for now, choose
any weapon you want from the racks, and it�s yours. The ammo�s by the
gun�s, and the farther you go back, the older the weapon.�
    Keith nodded and looked around As Lucifer left the room. He thought
he could take a gun and kill Lucifer but something prevented him from
doing so. It seems that I�m bound to him, I can�t escape him, but at
least mankind will live.
    And so he looked for a gun to call his own.

    Amy looked around at all the building in this beautiful place.
Angel�s walked through the streets all wearing light colors which
matched the whole scene. All the building were in light color as well as
the vehicles. Everything was wonderful as the great light of the sun
shone down on this world. Everything was perfect and from what she heard
there was no night, no darkness and no loneliness.
    The Angel in front of them looked back. �Remember, I�m taking you to
the high councilor. You must act with the greatest respect towards him.�

    Adam and Amy nodded as the turned around corners and walked down
streets of this bright world. Then an explosion was heard, to the far
left, and then another to the far right.
    The Angel spun around to see the inferno of explosions all around.
�It can�t be happening, not now. You two go find shelter, fast.� Then
the Angel ran towards the explosions with her gun drawn.
    Adam and Amy went inside a building and hoped for safety.

    Maria moved through the streets looking for those who were
destroying this city. Explosions and fire were woven into everything. No
matter where you were you could see the fires, the fires much like those
of hell she remembered of a time when she was there, along time ago.
    Then she saw them in front of her, three angel�s but now angel�s at
all. They looked much as an angel except they wore all black and had
black wings instead of white.
    Maria was infuriated and fired off all the shots she had at the
three. They did nothing as the bullets came, nothing but die. Black
blood spilled out of them as they fell to the streets. But why didn�t do
anything, why did they just die. Then once the bodies hit the ground,
they vanished into smoke.
    Maria couldn�t tell why the Fallen Angel�s would sacrifice good
troops just too do such simple damage. They could have the whole thing
cleaned up by tomorrow, and then the shadows
came.
    Great dark clouds came from no where, covering the sun and
preventing the light from coming. Then the sky turned from blue to
black, corrupted by the darkness. However they did it
was unknown but it was not as much physical damage as damage to morale
and social things. The people would become scared. Violent even. Maybe
this was their plan, a revolt from within. Only time will tell though.
    So Maria went back to check on the two kids, they better be okay,
they are very important to victory against the darkness.
