Voooshhhh*
Clouds parted as a vessel zoomed across the sky in unimaginable speeds followed by hundreds more varying in size.
Soon it crossed a invisible barrier that melted away any corruption that stubbornly clung to the vessels as they began to land at specific locations.
Shhhiiii*
A Hatch opened as Light exited the vessel followed by Deceptica and a squad of Custodians, the Golen Giants as Deceptica calls them.
As they walked they saw a woman standing before them surrounded by rough looking men.
"Your Majesty, welcome back it's been a century since your departure and it seems you brought a friend to."
The Woman said as she smiled.
Chuckle*
"Indeed its been a while, Ophilia von Europa. How has the Kingdom been in my absence?"
Ophilia von Europa, the last Human Royal and last of the old human race standing at the height of 2.1 meters tall the average of her kind.
"It's, been quiet. The Demonic Forces have not attacked during these last hundred years, suspicious I would say. But everything else has been the same."
Ophilia said as she began to follow Light as he walked forth.
Light contemplated this. Indeed the Demonic activity around the Kingdom as been slim, normally it would be crawling with hordes of Daemons and Fallen Godlings trying to break the barrier that has been keeping the Last Bastion of Humanity protected for the last 5 millenia.
Ophilia looked at the serious face Light is making shaking her head.
"And who is this lady you have brought with you? She appears to have Demon blood in her?
Light broke from his thoughts and stopped.
"Ahem right, Ophilia this is Deceptica a Demonling of Deception and Deceptica this is Ophilia von Europa the last Royal of Man."
Deceptica looked up at Ophilia with a smile as he extended her hand with Ophilia shaking it.
"Glad to meet you Deceptica, welcome to Yvripa the last Fortress of Mankind." Ophilia said as she shook Decepticas hand.
"Happy to meet ya Giant Woman."
Ophilia looked puzzled at Deceptica with Light shaking his head as he sighed.
Flutter
Flutter
Vooom
VOOOMMM
VOOOOSHHHH
The air around them turned into a strong gale as everyone looked at the cause of it and saw a giant golden dragon land from the sky.
"Welcome back Light of Mankind! I've been waiting for you to return so we may continue this War and maybe even end it!"
Light looked at the glowing Dragon. "It is good to be back Bahamut how many Dragons are there left?"
Bahamut sighed. "I've searched the entire World and found no other of my kin left, only the dead and those turned to to Demonic Dragons. So it seems only 150 of my kin are left, most are the strongest who survived the War but there are some hatchling and eggs."
Light looked puzzled he remembers seeing many Dragons in the last century as the searched for survivors outside the Kingdom.
"Bahamut, I remember seeing Dragons during the last century, why about them?"
Bahamut lowerd hus massive head as he spoke. "Those are not Dragons! They are just inferior imitations of my Children! Nothing but mindless beast trying to be what they cannot be! They don't even have the Dragon looks, some have no frontal legs instead they have wings there, other are wingless while some don't have any limbs at all! I killed every one of them that crossed my sight, those unholy false copies."
Light nodded as he thought 'Someone passed him off'.
"Anyway what's this Demonling doing here?" Bahamut said as he looked at Deceptica, his eyes alone being the size of her torso making her uncomfortable.
"This is Deceptica a Demonling of Deception I found trying to steal my gold." Light said hiding his smile from Deceptica.
Deceptica looks as him with vains poping from her forehead.
"HAHAHAHA, What a funny encounter. Gold is worthless outside of the Kingdom, why you even took it with you and why she tried to steal it is a mystery I'd never know the answer to, must be the mortal urges that a Devine Being such as I would not understand."
Bahamut laughed as the ground quacked and the air trembled.
"So you're Bahamut the Dragon God I've heard whispers of in the Demon Realm?"
Deceptica said as she looked at the giant frame of the Dragon.
Bahamut frowned. "I am no God, I do not deserve that title nor do I have the ability to carry it. Only the Creator of Creation holds that name others who call themselves God's are nothing before 'Him'. What I am is a Devine Dragon, I once guarded the stairway of Heaven but I descended into the Prime to help Humanity."
Light looked confused this is the first time Bahamut gave a backstory of himself as little it is.
"What it the Prime you spoke of?"
Bahamut looked confused at Light who asked the question.
"You do not know of Prime? Nor of the rest of Creation?"
Light shook his head. "Isn't the Universe Creation?"
Bahamuts expression changed from confusion to amusement.
"HAHAHAHAHA, you who is the manifestation of Mankinds good doesn't know of Prime and Creation? HAHAHAHAHA I will not tell I want to see the look on your face when you find out."
Everyone was confused, what does Bahamut mean? And why is he laughing so hard?
"Umm I've been thinking and want to know the answer for this but what is this War you're talking about? I've been on Terra for a century and saw no signs of War."
Deceptica said as she looked as everyone who looked at her as if they are looking at a hermit who lived under a rock this entire time.
"Have you not noticed? The land within the barrier is pure and clean while outside is rotten and cursed?" Ophilia asked Deceptica.
Deceptica thinks for a while as her eyes lit up.
"I Indeed did notice that here it's more colorful than outside but honestly I don't see the difference, the outside looks identical to the Demon Realm so I never thought that I left it in the first place until Light said I'm on Terra."
Ophilia looked at Deceptica with pitty. To think that Deceptica grew up in such a hellscape.
"Well if you don't know how about I tell you once we reach the HQ?"
Deceptica nodded at Ophilias suggestion.
As they arrived at the HQ Ophilia took Deceptica to a table and began to speak of the Origin of the War.
"So it began 5 millenia ago, when the Federation of Mankind was 500 plus Systems strong, humanity was rapidly growing and expanding into the Orion Arm."
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
5 Millenia ago, 83 Millennium before Anastasias birth.
Humanity has reached a new height. Inside the Special Labaratorium many bright minds shouted in joy. The reason? They have unlocked the secrets to FTL Technology.
"Congratulations everyone, now Mankind can grown and expand our territory in the name of the Most High God!"
Shouted a Scientists as his colleagues Shouted in return.
"This day will be knows as The day Mankind ushered a new Era!"
If you they knew what happened next.
-The Grand Parliament of the Federation-
An Emergency Meetings was called as all members of Parliament came to attendance.
"I've called this meet to discuss a grave matter. Observation Stations have spotted that our territory is beings surrounded by what seems to be a 'Horde of Darkness' rapidly approaching us." Spoke the President of the Federation.
Everyone was quiet, no one said anything.
"What we are looking at is an invasion, an invasion of Demonic Origin. I henceforth order the Federal Armed Forces into Maximum Deployment and removing all restrictions levels on our Forces. We are facing and existential crisis may God help us all."
Following that moment all Military assets were deployed as all levels of armaments went to the contact zone.
Normally it would take thousands of years for a Spaceship to reach to outer territories but humanity has short range teleportals that thanks to their Dark Energy Reactors could be spammed and teleported to their destination. Humanity just unlocked the secrets to True FTL travel but its still in prototype phase.
Soon the Fleets of Humanity waited for the Horde as they saw it swallow entire sky's full of stars while approaching at speeds exceeding FTL speeds.
Then came the moment knows as The First Shot.
BOOOOOMMM
VOOOSHHHH
SHIIINNN
The Ships fired their weaponry at the horde vaporizing massive chunks but to their shock the horde got even bigger.
The Ships fired their Hyper Bombs that could turn Planets to glass, their Nova Cannons that could force a star to collapse, their Anti-Matter Guns and Magnetic weapons but nothing worked.
Soon the Horde made contact and they clashed.
BOOOM VOOSH IIIIINNNNG BOOMMMM
Squadrons of Fighters torn, Dreadnoughts split in half, Carriers bloated to bursting.
The Fleet Admiral Ordered for all ships to self destruct as not to let the men on board get corrupted as a act of mercy.
That moment the Galaxy Shined the brightest as the ships claimed Star Systems and Hordeds with them to death. Space collapsed for a moment as the ever-growing horde shrunk in size.
But it didn't stop them. They continued to attack from all directions. The Galatic North, South, West, East, Top and Down. Humanity couldn't see the distant stars anymore only the Horde.
Soon they reached the First Planet, it fell in two Terran Days as the courageous Men and Women tough to death taking their enemies with them.
The Planet knows as Galatin fell turned to burning wast in the cold space as the horde passed it.
Planet after Planet. System after System fell humanity was losing hope, in this hope came desperation, prayers of salvation of anger of rage.
BOOOOM
Another Planet choose to detonate their stationed Hyper Bombs not wanting to fall to corruption.
Some sent their citizens to the inner territories for refuge as the brave men and women fought without fear.
The War showed progress, the Horde was slowing, humanity was gaining traction. The minds of men made new wapons, new ordinance, new ships. Humanity made 10 ships from each one that fell in combat. A hundred men came in place of a singer fallen man.
The once thought infinite horde wasn't infinite at all, just unfathomably large.
And just as Mankind was about to push back the got stabed in the back.
The Godlings, Terra first children and protectors of mankind betrayed them. Corrupted by the Darkness as they went insane from the prayers of humanity who in their long years since the Exile from Eden began to fall to the Arch-Enemies falsehoods.
The Inner Territories burned as cities flattened, continents shook.
Terra became a warzone.
The Horde pushed through the weakness and claimed the Outer and Mid Territories, soon it descended to the Inner ones.
A Captain of a Oblitirator-Class Dreadnought ordered a full strike against a Godling.
"Full Strike on God-Class entity received. Entity Ouranos Target acquired. Firing."
The Dreadnoughts batteries fired at Ouranos as it strikes him in his chest.
"Ahhhh!!!"
He screamed even though sound can't pass in space.
Ouranos who was mad in his eyes regained his mind for a brief moment and in that moment a single tear fell from his eye.
In his last moment of clarity he pulled all nearby Godlings and Daemons to him and screamed out.
"FORGIVE ME CREATOR!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM
He blew himself up as an act of defiance against the Enemy and took his Fallen Brethren with him.
Many Godlings who were strong enough to resist it for moments took that path.
Osiris, Ra, Susanoo, Quetzalcoatl, Thor, and many more took their life's in defiance. Others were not so lucky.
The War continues as Space groaned and Time whimperd.
The effects of the war spread out as it destroyed sectors of space within the Orion Arm and the Persius Arm.
Any civilisations that existed there no longer do.
Soon only the Sol Systems remained. Humanity on its last legs finished their most technological achievement, the Dimensional Storge. Here they stored all their knowledge and technology for the future generations should the here fall. Then they put it deep inside the core of Terra only to come out when it detects humanity not fallen.
Then came the Horde of Daemons.
The Observation Stations fell. Pluto was shattered into chunks as its core floated in space.
Neptune and it's Moons swarmed as the colonies and water foundries destroyed.
Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter sufferd the same.
Then came Gaia the citizens of Gaia fleed to Terra. What then happened shook Humanity.
The Horde ignored Gaia, due to no humans presence. It made it clear the Horde wanted nothing more than the total extinction of Humanity.
The Twin Moons of Terra Luna and Lunar got ignored as the Horde landed of Terra.
First came the Western Continents as they crossed the Strait connecting it to the largest continent. From there Humanity lost ground.
But as all hope was lost the World Tree that at of the Northern most point Shined and covered the Yvripian territory of the largest continent, From Albion to Mesopotamia from Iberia to the Ural mountains. The Horde couldn't get pass the barrier, the World Tree was to strong.
It's been 28 years since the First Shot, Quadrillions Dead, entire Systems gone of the Galatic map. Sectors scared.
Terra Dying.
Since then it's been 5 millenia of stagnation. Humanity degraded. What used to be normal Human became a rare occurrence known as the High-Human, Humanity splintered into branches. The Elves, Dwarfs and Humanity that staid 'human'.
The High-Humans came together and formed the Government of the now new Yvripa Kingdom.
But all that prayers came together and formed into two beings one of pure light and other of pure dark. The light came and became Light.
The Dark? No one knows.
