Chapter Five: Rise of the accursed one

Zebrokan regained all six dragon crystals and made his wish. There, he decided to wage war on the Zhou to Jin kingdom, battling with the knights and the three tribes of the kingdom. He made a grievous mistake to hurt the one closest to Hiro.

Just then, Hiro transformed into a serpentine dragon to battle with Zebrokan, who revealed his true nature as the samaras, the evil spirit of vengeance and greed. After the defeat of Zebrokan, Hiro and his grandpa alongside with Amata and Bruce Wee journeyed to the city of refuge to find Miram who cared for Hiro during the time of war, and there, Miram told Hiro about his past lives, mother and how he was rescued, and then she handed the sword of Azriel to Hiro, his mother's sacred treasure to him.

When all seemed to be getting better, Zebrokan emerged once more to finish what he started.

Miram had died just outside the city of refuge, there Zebrokan battled with Hiro and with the help of Bruce Wee they took down Zebrokan and entrap the samaras in the sword of Azriel. With the dragon crystals no more, demons now roamed the earth once again.

Ba Jizux embarked on a journey to find the armor of God in the temple of Asherah, the goddess of perfection.

The armor of god is a powerful weapon that can put you above most of the Angels, principalities and demons. Arriving at the temple, he began his search for the armor of God.

He stood in front of the waving sea thinking all that had happened over the past years. Without a word been uttered. What is this feeling? What is the purpose of my existence? Having these thoughts inside of him as he watches the cool breeze that wave in the ocean. He wasn't far from the kingdom, he's all alone to himself.

It's beautiful isn't it? Amata asked, continuing: before grandpa and I found you, this used to be my free zone of relaxation, where I could clear my mind off of anything. Hiro turned his head to see Amata standing beside him.

Amata didn't look at him, but said, it's going to be okay, one day we will all look at this and call it the past, everything happens for a reason. She turned her head directly to look at Hiro. We should get back to the city; grandpa might be worried, Amata told him. 

Meanwhile, in Medo-Persya kingdom, a horde of demons released by king Mammon Sa into the world of man went out to cause chaos and death upon the people of Zhou to Jin kingdom and her nations.

The sky changed into red, blood moon, as it affected the entire world, gradually spreading to the four corners of the earth. 

KRAKKK!!!...

A loud thunderous sound rang in the sky. Captain Xiao Kain made his way to the king, informing him about the situation that was to come.

The king didn't seem concerned about the situation, and he gave his order to the captain. 

Meanwhile, at Bau Khan's home, captain Xiao Kain arrived. There, he met with Hiro, telling them about the king's unusual behavior, doubting that the king they once knew wasn't alive. Just then, Hiro recalled what Miram said to him before she died. But there wasn't enough proof to justify their actions.

There is war coming, a war that would decide the fate of all creations, Captain Xiao Kain said. He looked at Hiro, as he asked him: the armour of God, have you heard about it?

Hiro: Yeah! Sarakiel told me about it.

Captain Xiao Kain (soliloquy): Sarakiel... He's a compromising Angel. It can't be, why would he...

Hiro: Captain are you...

Captain Xiao Kain: Yes. Sarakiel can't be trusted. He only does what favours him.

Just then, right in their middle of their discussion... They heard an explosion, the whole city in the kingdom heard it.

KABOOOOM!!!... 

The ground beneath shook as an earthquake. There appeared to be evil demonic presence in the kingdom causing chaos and havoc.

The city in the kingdom had been devastated. The knights of Zhou to Jin kingdom battled with the demonic presence but couldn't stop it. Captain Xiao Kain, Amata, Bau Khan and Hiro were all out; Amata looked up to the sky as it was completely red, the moon turning into a blood moon.

Their powers affected all of nature, turning day into night, as demons begins to rain down like hell, descending upon the people of Zhou to Jin kingdom. A demon tried to rip a knight in half, but just then, a being killed the demon effortlessly.

Bau, captain Xiao Kain, Amata and Hiro were in shock. Standing in front of them was Lilith, a beautiful young lady, with blond hair, blue eyes, and skin as spotless as the clouds of heaven. Her smile towards Hiro was one that could captivate the soul of every man's desire. She introduced herself to them as more demons began to cause havoc on the kingdom.

Lilith told them that it had already began, the six thousand years of war had resurfaced again. She asked Hiro if he'd gotten hold of the armor of God, as Hiro replied no, telling her it was his mother's sacred treasure he has.

Lilith agreed with him, telling him that the sword would do for now, but he would need the armor of God if he was going to face his mother's twin brother and his minions.

Lilith told them that the accursed ones had been released, as had the demons and that it had already begun, and was happening all over creation.

Captain Xiao Kain went in to assist the knights in protecting the citizens and the kingdom. Hiro stretched out his hand, calling out his mother's sacred treasure to his aid. 

He told grandpa and Amata to take cover, for he's going to end this. A humongous dark han blast came directly at the kingdom. It would definitely obliterate the entire kingdom if it were to make impact. As it made its way to the kingdom, Hiro used the sword of Azriel to send it up to the sky, causing a huge explosion that covered the sky and tore a hole in it, having the size of two planets combined.

Lilith fought side by side with Hiro, just like old times when she fought side by side with her sister Azriel.

In the process of their battle with the demons, Sarakiel emerged, revealing his true purpose to Hiro. Lilith asked Hiro if he wanted her to end him, but Hiro wanted to settle the score with Sarakiel alone, so Lilith left Hiro to face off against Sarakiel alone and went to settle her own score with king Sargon.

Sarakiel: It's a mistake that you survived, I should have ended you eons ago and your mother was a coward to betray her kind for a pathetic human. I see you've gotten hold of your mother's sacred treasure and trapped the samaras in it, but that'll do you no good, you don't know its full potential.

Hiro jumped into action, making the first moves at Sarakiel as he dodged all of his attacks. Sarakiel conjured his own weapon and they battled back and forth at each other, while the demons in the kingdom battled with the knights.

Each slice made by them caused havoc on the city, even vaporizing demons and innocent victims. Hiro paused for a while. He didn't want to put the innocent in harm's way. While he paused, Sarakiel punched him with great force, sending him flying miles away. He used spiral splash combined, aiming at Hiro and giving him a direct hit. He fell to the ground hurt, and was about to stand up when Sarakiel threw his spear, piercing through Hiro's chest as it extended its size of that of a watch tower castle. Hiro bled out badly.

Meanwhile, in the king's castle, Lilith made her way to the king, she wasn't interrupted by any knight. Lilith walked into the castle to see the king seated on his throne. If it isn't the betrayal of her kind, just like our sister, King Sargon said, before revealing her true nature as Cecelia, a beautiful damsel with red bright eyes and long red hair whose skin was fair in complexion. 

Cecelia, sister to Azriel and Lilith. How long have you been ruling them without their consent? Lilith asked. 

Cecelia: It's good to be the king, they do my bidding. Each and every one of them! Lucifer shouldn't have sent you, unless, he wanted me to get rid of you.

Lilith: Your reign ends here, sister.

The two sisters battled like no other, having something to be settled for ages. The battle outside the kingdom seemed to be filled with demons all over the earth. Only one kingdom seemed to be unaffected by the ongoing war, the Medo-Persya kingdom ruled by king Mammon Sa and her tribes. In Gypet kingdom, Ba Jizux had returned from his journey, not being harmed by the demons waging war upon the kingdom and her tribes, and headed straight to the king's castle.

He came with terrible news, convincing the king to send the palace guard out while they discussed privately. King Shu'ri Rah, who had been seated on his throne hoping that Ba Jizux would bring a solution to end this war, was killed by Ba Jizux silently. He took the king's form and turned his body to ash, becoming the new king of Gypet kingdom.

Back to Hiro and Sarakiel. Both kept on going, Hiro's eyes exploded wide open, completely red from the impalement of Sarakiel's spear that he'd burst out in rage to continue battle with Sarakiel. Hiro punched Sarakiel, sending him flying across town, shattering the ground beneath him tremendously.

Just as Sarakiel was about to get up, an unknown being snapped his neck, ending him in an instant. Sarakiel's body turned to bright light as it begins to fade into the light. 

Lo and behold.

The accursed one was finally free. With great speed, he appeared right in front of Hiro. On his left hand, he seemed to be holding the arm of God. The captain Xiao Kain sighted both from afar, he recognized the armor of God from the description and image from the book of ages. 

Back to Lilith and Cecelia, they battled as they talked. You can always find redemption from the Master, I'll beseech thee on your behalf, said Cecelia. You know he's the key to all this, he has the power to end it all, father couldn't understand his true purpose because he isn't his favourite son like that of Apex.

While clashing swords together, she continued: Mother had no choice but to leave, she couldn't bear with father's shenanigans and you know it within you, no matter how hard you try to please him, he doesn't get satisfied with our work. 

Lilith: That's where you're wrong sister. That's why we have him, our sister's son could end it all. I believe in him; why can't you do the same. 

Lilith continued to battle with Cecelia with everything in her disposal. Cecelia fell to the ground. You can still join the part of righteousness and be free, Lilith told her. Cecelia stared directly at Lilith's eyes. You know he sees all, he sees through you and I. My loyalty is to him and him alone. And do you feel it, brother is free from the bonds of Raphael, said Cecelia.

Cecelia: And with the armor of God, the precious son of our sister can never stand it power.

Back to Hiro and the accursed one. He looked down at Hiro, his eyes just like the eyes of his mother, Azriel and then looked at his hand to see that he had the sacred treasure of Azriel. The accursed one introduced himself to Hiro, 

Accursed one: I'm Azazyel, twin brother to Azriel. 

Hiro was speechless. Yo... You... He stammers, you're my mother's twin, he said, incredulous. It seems she handed my gift to you, it shared a unique bond between us as family, Azazyel responded.

Azazyel lifted the armor of God up to the heavens as he uttered, "divine wrath". A huge bolt of heavenly lightning clashed right at Hiro, who used the sword of Azriel to protect himself. The power of divine wrath was felt across all nations of the world as it destroyed most parts of the city in the kingdom.

Azazyel stood right in front of the blast as Hiro used the sword to protect himself from the lightning. The lightning strike subsided as Hiro's clothes were torn in pieces. Just then, Hiro jumped up in midair and used his knee to hit Azazyel's face, sending him backwards a little.

Azazyel gave a deadly smirk and a slight groan, while using the armor of God to strike at Hiro as he used the sword of Azriel as a shield that sends him flying into midair. How did you get out of your imprisonment, Hiro asked. Isn't it obvious, it's the armor of God. It's the only thing that could free us, responded Azazyel. 

Hiro: Us? What do you mean by that?

Azazyel charged towards Hiro as he struck a fist punch against his face, sending him falling to the ground with impact. The shockwave was felt remarkably. Just then the captain was seen running back to the library to retrieve an item, as Lilith was about to go and assist Hiro in his fight. Cecelia, being on the ground, got up as she transformed her sword into a hellish whip to draw back Lilith to the fight, finishing what they started.

KABOOOOM!!!...

Azazyel and Hiro gave it all they had. Azazyel told Hiro that if he could join him, he'd spare the lives of everyone that he loves and would put an end to this madness. Azazyel went on further telling Hiro that he reminded him of his twin sister, only more fragile than she ever was.

Bau Khan and Amata could see the fight from a distance, where they were attending to the wounded in a secret chamber that was protected by the mages magic.

Meanwhile, other kingdoms and tribes seemed to be battling with the demons. The main course was upon the Zhou to Jin kingdom. Captain Xiao Kain, being inside the library, headed straight to the library artifacts, where he saw Morris. Morris knew why he was here, as he handed him the broken dragon crystal. But how? How did the pieces get back together, captain Xiao Kain asks.

Morris told him he figured a way to put the dragon crystal back together by following the instructions in the book of ages. He told the captain that the dragon crystal could only send the demons back to hell and that the accursed one could only be killed with the armor of God or be sent back to his imprisonment.

Meanwhile, Cecelia and Lilith were still fighting. Battles raged between families, Lilith vs Cecelia, Hiro vs Azazyel. A huge blast shattered part of the castle and sent Lilith flying in midair, where she regained balance. Just then, Cecelia joined her, transforming into her horrifying demonic form with wings. They both continued their fight.

Azazyel charged towards Hiro to speed blitz him with the armor of God, causing him to bleed immensely. Just then, he was about to kill Hiro with the armor of God. He used the sword of Azriel for defense, triggering his rage, and again his eyes turned red and into those of a dragon. I can feel your rage coursing through your veins, said Azazyel. 

The battle was tremendous as the battled out of the kingdom. Cecelia and Lilith were still on their fight as the battle in midair. Cecelia used everything at her disposal with great impact towards Lilith. 

Meanwhile, captain Xiao Kain who had the dragon crystal in his possession was about to summon the spirit of Azriel and make his wish. At the same time, Cecelia sighted the captain about to make his wish, and aimed at him as she threw a conjured weapon towards the captain, but Lilith counteracted it with her "divine spear". Demons began aiming at the captain, angry at his having sent them back to hell. 

Back to Azazyel and Hiro, they battled all the way, Hiro came with full force towards Azazyel, hitting him with everything he had.

Azazyel kicked Hiro so hard that it sent him shattering a whole mountain with ease. Using the armor of God, Azazyel conjured meteorites from outer space to shower down on Hiro.

Hiro dodged as he destroyed most of the meteors in his path. Coming at full speed, Azazyel slammed Hiro's face into the ground forcefully and pounced on him like a bug, grabbing his face, lifting him towards him. Hiro was out cold, so Azazyel reached out to kill him, but an immense aura with great han surrounded Hiro.

Azazyel tried impaling the armor of God through Hiro's chest, but Hiro vanished within a blink of an eye. His eyes closed, Azazyel seemed surprised about what Hiro did. He knew that "divine power".

Azazyel charged towards Hiro to strike a hit but missed uncontrollably; he tried all kinds of different attacks and conjuring but continued to miss. 

"This power, this aura, it's immeasurable 

It's divine and unique, this is remarkable

This is no doubt the divine God's blue".

All my attacks are useless against it, not even the armor of God can counteract it, complained Azazyel. 

Meanwhile Cecelia headed straight to the captain who was fighting his way off the demons. Grandpa, I see the captain, Amata said. He's with the dragon crystal, but how, Amata wondered. We need to help him, she added. One of the mages answered, it's dangerous out there, and we're all safe here. Amata argued as she successfully made her way out of the secret chamber. Grandpa couldn't let her out of her sight, so he went along with her. 

Cecelia landed right in front of the captain, about to devour him, but just then, Lilith emerged as Cecelia back slapped the captain, separating him from the dragon crystal as it slipped from his hands. The dragon crystal rolled its way to Amata's foot and she picked it up. Cecelia set her eyes on her. Rushing at full speed trying to kill Amata, Bau Khan used a han blast to push her aside. Lilith confronted Cecelia once more, giving her one last chance to change her ways.

She refused as Lilith without hesitation beheaded her. Amata then used the crystal to summon Azriel's spirit as she made her wish to send back the demons that were terrorizing all of creation back to hell. With her wish granted, all demons were sent to hell from all over the world.

Amata then asked Lilith if the dragon crystal could work on the accursed one, and in their moment of discussion, a shock wave was felt all over creation. That must be Hiro, Amata said, we need to help him. 

Lilith led the way. Azazyel and his attacks were no match for the divine God's blue. 

They all arrived at the scene, Bau Khan, Amata, Lilith and captain Xiao Kain. The battle between Azazyel and Hiro was tough, each slice and dice changed the atmosphere into harsh and normal state, shattering mountains and their surroundings, causing shockwaves all over that could be felt around creation, causing winter changes and summer changes.

Hiro kicked Azazyel so hard that he fell beneath the earth, deep down. What are we going to do, this battle is above us, we can't stop him, asked captain Xiao Kain.

What about the dragon crystal, replied Amata. 

It's of no use, it won't be of any use to us against Azazyel, said Lilith. In other to defeat Azazyel, Hiro needs to become one with his inner self. He needs to put on the whole armor of God, Lilith explained.

After the death of Zebrokan, king Mammon Sa released hordes of demons into the world, meanwhile, Ba Jizux embarked on a journey to retrieve the armor of God in the temple of Asherah. With the demons been released, they caused havoc upon creation once more. Sarakiel on the other hand faced Hiro in an epic battle. Just then, the accursed one known as Azazyel emerged once again, killing Sarakiel the compromising angel.

Azazyel and Hiro battled against each other, and their battle continued to grow stronger.

A huge blast was felt within miles away.

Azazyel and Hiro were going all out, Hiro seemed to be having the upper hand against Azazyel, but with the armor of God, Azazyel was still no match.

This is not the power of Han; this is divine God's blue, Azazyel said, as he stopped for a while. Hiro was calm; his eyes were open, his pupils blue and his irises faded with blue as well.

Not every supreme being possess the divine God's blue. It's only passed down to a few of us and can be taken away. While I may not be one of the lucky few, perhaps my sister is, said Azazyel. What I do, I do it for a reason, I don't expect you to understand but the powers of the heavenly realm will not succumb and only the violent one's taketh it by force, Azazyel said.

Hiro: What are you talking about?

Azazyel: Maybe it's time I bring back old memories. 10,000 years ago. Our parents, whom you may come to know as God and Goddess of creation, before the creation of life itself, while time may not seem to exist out of existence itself, well it suddenly does except for the humans. To them it can be 4.5 billion years or more. This was before the time of the earthly parents. 

Azazyel: Yahweh, who goes by many names, is vastly overpowered and so is Asherah the goddess of perfection. And in their divine powers they brought us to life and everything that ever existed there is. But mother saw that father in his great power was unquestionable and without doubt does whatever he pleases, this was the time our brethren was created as well.

But we were unique amongst all creations of our parents. Me, myself and I (smirks), Azriel your mother, Cecelia, Metatron, Uriel, Michael, Gabriel, Lucifer and of course you, Hiro. Or, should I say Bimeathest?

Hiro looked shocked and terrified. He was confused as his eyes turned back to their normal state. Could this be true to what Azazyel was saying? Was Hiro amongst his parents' creations? Azazyel continued, telling Hiro: you were the one who caused the war in heaven, tricking Lucifer, Metatron and others. But you died in the process, father killed you but somehow a mother's love exceeds all. I was there, I saw it all happen, mother had great plans for you, and from that moment on her will was done without father's notice.

Father could no longer trust us, his children, entirely, after the rebellion in heaven and the banishment of our brothers, father had to put Gabriel and Michael in charge. 

Azazyel: I mean what the hell were you thinking? That you could surpass our parents. But no, but somehow you were reincarnated and came right through from my sister. I saw all that she did, and after the creation of mankind, the first man and woman. We could no longer trust mankind, for if a supreme being of pure uniqueness could defy father what won't the mortal flesh do? That's were Lilith came in, she was never part of us, she defied her husband, not fully submitting to him. So Yahweh took care of the rest. Banishing her and there she was encountered by demons only to have her revenge upon the sons of man. Luckily for her she met Azriel who rescued her from total damnation, I guess Dad was a bit power drunk if you ask me, but mother raised her as her own and here we are. Isn't it one happy family reunion?

Hiro asked Azazyel, what was his plan after all? And why was he in need of the armor of God? Azazyel told Hiro that if he killed him, he could reunite all of creation the way it was, and that he and his minions who were cursed by the creator could find redemption once again and restore all things to the way they were.

Lilith, Bau Khan, Amata, and captain Xiao Kain could hear all that Azazyel said, and were in shock, but Amata still believed in Hiro, her faith in him was enough to see that Hiro wasn't the same as he had been in his past lives.

Azazyel turned towards Lilith to see Amata.

His eyes widened as he spoke: Mother of all, could this be? No it can't be, said Azazyel, trying to figure out each possibility and event at that moment. He was slowly approaching Amata. Bau Khan was in his position of defense, ready to protect his grandchild even if it could cost him his life.

Hiro immediately grabbed Azazyel's tie, but Azazyel used his "based momentum" to push Hiro aside with great impact. He reached right in front of Amata, staring directly at her eyes, about to reach out to her. Then, Lilith punched Azazyel but he didn't budge, and backhanded Lilith, sending her away from their presence.

Mother millennium in exile, you finally called us home, Azazyel said while raising up his hand where he held the armor of God towards the heavens as thunder clashed against the sword.

Azazyel didn't hurt Amata, but instead he pointed another direction where lightning struck, revealing the 200 accursed ones.

They're here, said captain Xiao Kain: the accursed ones. Azazyel walked in their direction as they knelt before him.

Go! And take dominion over the earth. Let father know that we can do a better job of perfecting humanity. Says Azazyel. Any of our fallen brothers, those so-called demons stand in our way, end them permanently. Then one of the accursed one said, as it is said let thy will be done.

So they took off to conquer all of creation to bring down those who defy the laws of the accursed ones. Hiro stood up to challenge Azazyel once again and in their battle Azazyel used the armor of God to defeat Hiro, piercing through his chest and penetrating his heart. Azazyel left Hiro to die with the impalement of the armor of God.

Amata, Bau Khan and captain Xiao Kain rushed towards him, captain Xiao Kain tried to remove the armor of God but couldn't; it was too heavy to be lifted by a mere mortal. Lilith, on the other hand, secretly departed from their presence. Just then, the cloud of heavens became dark and bright at the same time. And with the death of Hiro, heaven once more would come to the aid of mankind.
