The Andre Miller Saga

Andre Miller 34 The Reunion

Z minus 30

"To any of the celestial warriors above who can hear me I call upon them to pass a message to general of the 1st host Prolanacle I require his aid and council."

One of the celestials who were flying by peeled off in a different direction and disappeared into the distance.

Andre headed back into the house, Prolanacle would make his presence known when he was ready. "Well, we've got 30 days to get ready for a full-on demonic incursion. This is going to be a running fight with very few breaks for who knows how long. Does anyone have any ideas?"

"I don't suppose we can do a champion fight with Prolanacle?" asked Conroy.

"Not readily, no. I'm going to talk to him shortly but they would have to accept, and that is something I don't see them doing. Fontaine wants revenge so she's going to draw this out into as protracted a battle as she can. We're about equal in numbers right now, and the celestials outclass the demons by quite a bit. So that's not where the problem is going to come from. She'll be able to come at us from all sides if she wants to, she just has too much area to work with." Answered Andre.

"How about we cut the head of the snake and take out Fontaine?" asked Tilly.

"That's an option I'm seriously considering, but we'll only get one shot, then she'll pull everything in like a turtle and possibly attack sooner."

"What about challenging her to personal combat?" said Frankie.

"Again, a possibility, but she's a normal non-magical human. She got a few infernal deals but I'm betting those are for money and power. If any of us were to fight her we'd be at a massive advantage, which she'll try to avoid."

"If we find her on the field, I'm taking the witch out personally, advantage or not." Said Tilly with venom dripping from her words.

"Well, we should launch a preemptive strike, elementals to mess with her everything, as we did before." Mentioned Caleb, "Only take it up to maximum. Short out everything in the office, pop tires, fry car electrical systems, screw their phones to all hell, the works. Hire a major earth elemental to shake the hell out of the building."

"Yeah, we might as well get a jump on that. I'm not on board with the earth elemental, there might be civilians in the building, and even if they are dealing with infernals, they might just be suckers. But the rest of it, fire for effect." Andre replied. "If it does come down to a force versus force I want to draw them to the no man's land in between Tarrant and Pinson. Minimal civilian casualties."

"We're going to do everything to avoid that though right?" ask Conroy.

"Absolutely dad, if we can take this out with minimal violence then that's the route we're going to take." Said, Andre.

"Andre of the House of Miller, you asked for my presence and I have come." Said Prolanacle from the backyard.

Andre walked out into the yard and did a formal bow, "General Prolanacle I greet you, my friend. Ms. Fontaine has called off the truce and ceasefire and given us the ultimatum that she wants all of the celestials out of the area in 30 days or it's open war. I expect she will add the surrender of my group to her demands at some point. She's still after Frankie and I." Andre went on to explain what his group had been discussing.

"It is a likely thing that she will not have one demonic champion, but several. She won't accept a direct challenge because it gives us the power. The same would go for challenging her directly. While I abhor underhanded tactics, the use of a sniper may be a prudent choice given the circumstances. Your idea to launch a full elemental attack is wise, to deny the enemy of resources is a basic tenant of war. I would double your wards to prevent her using infernals to accomplish the same." Said Prolanacle.
