Darkness Approaches

The Rage of the Djinns

The battle broke out full scale.
Demons versus Humans, Angels, and now the djinn.
Fire, water, air, earth, and other elemental djinns fought the demons on a fierce battle.

Flames, lightning bolts, frozen water, and all sorts of other spells cast on demons were very effective indeed.
Angels with spears and shields attacked from the sky, giving them air superiority.
But there were also flying demons that came in waves of hundreds.
The battle was a back and forth clash of titans, struggling for control.

Some of the Djinn unlocked the chosen powers, giving the humans an edge over the battle.
Some of their powers varied from pure power as warriors, to Necromancy, or elemental spell casters, just lime the djinn.

However, there seemed to be no limit to the number of demons emerging from portals where the seals used to be.
Sebastian suggested Gabriel should perform rituals at the locations and create new seals, as there was no end to the demon army.
Eventually Gabriel agreed and took off to create new seals at the designated locations.
Sebastian suggested to Donovan to go with him.

Meanwhile, as powerful as the djinns were, they were suffering losses.
Twister, an air elemental djinn called for blaze attention.
- Blaze. I told you it was a mistake allying them fools.
The darkness is too powerful.
Let's retreat.
- Retreat? Are you mad? The Djinn do not retreat.
- Blaze, I know that look, I know you can destroy this entire galaxy single handed, I urge you leave this battle for the time being.
Storm jumped in the debate.
- We are trying to save the planet, not destroy it.
"Storm is right" Said Tidalwave.
- You are all djinn, you are free... so do as you will, I am staying.
- Fine blaze. Then stay. We are leaving.
Blaze stayed in the battle, while the others fled away back to their hideout.
The angels noticed it, but kept on fighting.
"Coward Djinns"
One of them shouted.
Blaze now enraged flew over to Sebastian.
- We have suffered too many losses... where is the girl!?
Demanded Blaze.
I'm going to put an end to this.
He flew over to Rioko's location with intention of purifying the girl by fire.
When he got there, and was about to summon the purifying fire, Hades appeared right above the girl. Gliding with open arms and Dark veil wings.
- No one... but no one harms my child.
You, Crimson of all should know this race is not worth it.
Look at yourself. Reduced to working with God's rejects.
You are much better than this.
You, more than anyone should know that it is time to purify this world... so why impede it!?
You know you want it. I can see it in your eyes. You... fire and destruction. You want it... see? She's ready too... you wanna burn this world to ashes. Together, with combined forces, we can create a darkfire ritual. The perfect cleansing ritual.

Uriel flew down as quickly as possible.
- Blaze! Don't listen to him.
- He's right!
- He's screwing with your mind.
Don't you see that's what he wants!?

Blaze shook his head and flew away in rage... as far away as he could.
Hades started laughing.
Uriel drew his sword and shield and dared hades to a fight.
Sebastian joined him shortly after.
- You should be dead.
- Haha. I'm hades. I told you... I cannot be killed.
- We shall see.
Said Uriel.

Hades ignored them and instead ordered the girl to initiate the ritual.
Rioko started screaming in a fury and rage, as the pure hatred took over her entire being.
The Dark veil began to come out of her, engulfing everything around it in darkness.
