Hell's Earth Part 1: Hell Come

Chapter Seven: Lambs to Slaughter

          The throng of people gathered outside of the Vatican praying relentlessly as they had witnessed the most unholy of acts and perversions both on TV and in their own streets. The pope came out onto the balcony and addressed his faithful followers. "You the humble and obedient people of God are now being called forth to rise up and oppress the oppressor. To vanquish the fallen and bring this age of darkness and despair into the guiding light of the Lord our God! We his people must stand against this vile creature and all that is unholy! Just as he has brought slavery into our world, we will bring freedom and redemption. Arm yourselves children of God! Now we fight for the Holy Father!" Several men began handing out an array of weapons ranging from R.P.G. replaced with Holy Water filled grenades to military grade assault rifles with silver engraved crosses on the bullets. The Pope went outside and performed the last right on the holy warriors to bless their path to heaven and be called by St. Peter. They knew by God's grace and protection, they will triumph or with and for the Holy Father!" Satan saw the rebels coming even before they began rallying against him. "These lost pathetic souls will soon know their mission is damned to fail! I will squash this rebellion now!" Satan opened the door to the run-down medical facility and injected the last bit of serum into his patient. Just like Draonai, his transformation was long and excruciating but he had quadrupled the serum that Satan gave to Draonai and increased his transformation tenfold. His wings broke through the steel gurney. His tail pierced the ceramic tile and concrete slab under the building. His bonds snapped as his muscles continued to increase in size. His horns were like serrated twin edged knives. He also injected the other patients both male and female adults and children alike. This was war and playing fair was never in the plan. The true Satanic loyalists were more than willing to become part of Satan's grand legion. He injected some of them with DNA from Adam, Eve and Lilith along with his own. He reserved these vials for the darkest and monstrous atrocities committed by the criminals that were going under the syringe. They began to shape-shift into permanently twisted beings of hellish disfigurations. Some looked like snake demons crossed with a Minotaur. Other's resembled twin headed birds on top of turtle bodies. The creatures broke free and stormed out of the clinic. People ran for their lives as the creatures burrowed, slithered, stampeded or flew towards their impending targets. Hundreds of thousands of the demonic creatures filled the streets, air and seas. Satan stood in the doorway and laughed maniacally. His laugh echoed through the streets and joined the chaos of the blood curdling screams that filled the city. Tanks and hummers with fifty caliber machine guns attached to rotating turrets roared into action along with several jets ranging from Italy to America and everyone in- between. Forces on the front lines checked in as Generals from across the globe began setting their battle plan. Twenty four hours was not a lot of time to raise a rebellion but it's all the human race had. Armageddon was on the horizon. It was three thirty pm. Thirty minutes to the twenty-four-hour mark. Mount Sinai was as fortified as it could get. Satan and his hellish legion were waiting for the opposing forces to arrive. He knew from the lack of responses that he the wall of tanks and military grade hummers. The weapon systems in the vehicles were locked and loaded. Helicopters were prepping for departure full on ammo and fuel. The jet fighter pilots received the word and quickly came screaming over the mountain. Satan led his army as he flew the sky while some charged on the ground and others followed behind him. Draonai continued monitoring the vital signs of the humans still going through their transitions. More of the demons she created with the serum were kidnapped, children. The adults were enticed by promises of grandeur, wealth and sex while the children were taken by any means necessary and not just from Las Vegas but all over the globe. Each vial of serum Draonai placed into the human body had a different effect. Some demons turned out much like her and others were bat-like creatures with four sets of hands and wings. They were the harvesters of children. As soon as each transformation finished, she sent them out with the same message. "Destroy the human resistance!" Tears welled up in her eyes as she seemed the only one who retained a majority of her humanity. Dracuel flew next to Satan as his only general. This was going to be a war like no other. Draonai burst into tears as the last of the newly born demons charged out of the demonic clinic. This seemed to be the end for all sentient beings that would soon experience pain, torture, and death or complete slavery of the mind, body and soul. Anger began to replace remorse and hate replaced regret. She was now determined to fix what was created but had no idea how or where to start. She suddenly became wide eyed as her thoughts became deathly silent. She waited for the explosion to end her life. She closed her eyes but after several minutes, nothing happened. Apparently Satan was preoccupied with the looming war. "Now I can focus on this explosive implant!" She took the shock paddles apart from the defibrillator and began splicing the wires to deliver a localized electric shock through them. She then powered the machine and set aside the paddles. She lifted her right hand up to her neck and with a quick swipe, sliced through her skin and muscles. Her talons hit her neck bone. This was crucial part. Her wounds were already healing and she had to act fast. Using her left hand she reopened the closing wound and then broke her neck. Her head and body fell to the tiled floor but she remained conscious. Blood and spinal fluid gushed from her decapitation. Her hands frantically felt for and found the collar attached to her neck but it was too tight to pull. She took hold of the defibrillator paddles and quickly yanked them off the wires which were fully charged and arching, she stabbed the wires into her neck bone. The electricity traveled through her severed neck and hit the explosive collar. The sensors overloaded and fried the circuits. The collar dislodged from her neck and flowed through the small incision. She remained conscious just long enough to cut the wound wider and allow the collar to hit the floor. She passed out shortly after. Satan Gave his last demand as the armies stood face to face. "You will be forgiven and all will be forgotten if you stand down! I will grant every carnal desire if you pledge your allegiance to me and worship only me! If not then your death will be slow, painful and I can assure you eternally!" The army stood strong and silent. The jet fighters continued to circle until Satan gave the command. "Your deaths will bring me great satisfaction! Feed on the blood and bones of these heretics my children! They will regret denying us!" All at once the armies clashed. Bullets and explosions shook the land and echoed through the mountain terrain. The jet fighters launched their missiles and rained down machine gun fire on the demonic horde. Satan took hold of the first tank barrel and bent it facing the tank as the tank tried to fire; the round exploded inside the barrel and killed the tank crew. The tank sat still in the fight as flames and smoke filled the air. Infantry men unloaded entire clips into the demons only to find themselves impaled, devoured or crushed. The gnashing of teeth against bone could be heard over the radios. The children demons now known as Imps were no less merciless. Most of the fighters who ran across them froze instantly. They tore off limbs, shoved grenades down the soldiers' throats and even gouged out eyeballs and other organs. The first wave of fighter jets that tried to push back the flock of demons were met with Imps leaping off the demons. As the Imps began ripping apart canopies to get to the pilots, the flock of demons dived to the ground below to join in on the ground assault. Satan had taken measures so that the children he had created in his own image were from the families of both the men and women that were fighting resiliently in the air and on the ground. The men and women had tears running down their face as they recognized the hellish offspring as their own. It had taken a great deal of time and effort to con the babysitters or family members of the kids to remove them from the home and use them in his genetic splicing procedures. However, to see his efforts rewarded was well worth the work. Heads were twisted off shoulders as the Imps drank from the skulls like a goblet. Others charged at the troops while some held down their prey ripping off gear using their teeth and claws, others began munching on the first set of fingers and toes as they became visible causing their prey to scream and eventually die from slow and steady blood loss. Satan headed off one of the fighter pilots and tore off the wing sending the aircraft and pilot crashing into the ground. A giant fireball filled the sky. More lives were being lost as Satan continued his relentless campaign of brutality. Soon the last remnants of the world's armies were killed or trying to retreat. Some not wanting to suffer at the hands of the demons committed suicide.
