True Bliss

Jackson and Michayla stood in front of the lake that they landed in front of when they first fell to Earth. They stared in the lake and couldn't help but notice how perfect the water was.

“Where shall we go next?” Michayla asked.

“Well I'm thinking if we take out the top people in power first then the underlings that are corrupt will probably not last long.”

Michayla shook her head. “We need people to help support our cause, we need to rally people who feel strongly about world peace as we do.”

“So we must speak out to the world.” Jackson said. “We must convince people that this is the right thing to do.”

The beautiful full moon that lit up there surroundings, suddenly became covered by clouds.

Jackson and Michayla felt a vibration from them.

“What is this?” Michayla asked putting a hand on her chest.

“I don't know.” Jackson said looking around. “Whatever it is, it's evil.”

The clouds became darker and everything became pitch black, any normal human would not be able to see anything but darkness. It would be as if there eyes were closed.

They noticed a dark figure step out from behind a tree. He wore what appeared to be black robes, a hood covered his face, and red eyes seemed to twinkle from inside his hood. He walked out in the open with great speed and seemed to smile at them.

“Hello there.” He said.

“What do you want?” Jackson asked moving closer toward Michayla.

“I'm tired of your meddling.” He said. “So I have come to kill you.”

Jackson looked at Michayla, she looked back. “Were already dead.” She told him. “How do you plan on doing that?”

Lightning started flashing from the clouds, followed by loud thunder that would have easily made a normal human deaf.

The dark figure laughed, his laugh radiated a terrible evil, the lightning started becoming more frequent.

“Do you not know who I am?” He asked.

“No, and we don't care you will not kill us.” Jackson said.. “We are angels and no matter how evil you may be, we will not die.”

“So naive.” The dark figure replied. “I have killed many angels in my time you will be no different.” He waved his hand and a bolt of lightning struck Jackson.

Michayla gasped stepping away, but Jackson looked at him unaffected.

“So.” He said amused. “You are not afraid. Well we will have to change that.”

Jackson and Michayla raised there hands, and glowing white swords appeared, they radiated a brilliant white light that pierced the darkness.

“So you are going to fight me?” He asked. “Many angels have fought me thinking they could strike me down, can you really defeat Satan himself? Do you feel special enough to have this privilege?

Jackson stared at him wondering if he was really who he claimed to be. “Why do you come and strike us down? There are many angels here on earth why single the two of us out?”

“Because you two are on a quest, and if that quest is successful then I will, lets say be very bored.”

“Well then you will just have to be bored.” Michayla said mocking him.

“You know, I was once an angel as well.” He said. “You know what the difference between me and you is? Well besides that I was the most well respected angel in all existence. I was known as the morning star, Lucifer. You know why I was an outcast? Because I discovered how to create things, and lets just say someone got a little jealous.

“You are full of shit.” Jackson spat.

“Why don't you let me teach you how to create?” Lucifer asked. “You can create an army that will follow you and share your vision of world peace.”

“You really think you can tempt us?” Michayla said stepping forward. “You are nothing but pathetic. You should not have came here, you shall meet your final end!”

Jackson tried to pull Michayla back but she continued walking toward him.

“There are many angels who think they could have defeated me, sad that they realize that they were lost forever when I destroyed them and stole there soul.” Lucifer said stepping toward Michayla.

Suddenly Lucifer waved his hand and he and Michayla disappeared from Jackson's view. He quickly turned around to see them hovering over the lake.

Jackson started forward but was awestruck and both terrified at what he saw.

Lucifer raised his arm revealed the twisted claw like appendage that was his hand, he touched Michayla's face and she screamed in agony as a trickle of pure white blood slowly traveled down her face. It glowed a brilliant white light color and eventually fell into the water.

Jackson regained his senses and started forward.

Lucifer raised his hand and a bolt of lightning struck him, which caused his knee's to grow week and collapse to the ground. He laughed triumphantly. “So you are afraid of her loosing her life and soul. How touching.”

Michayla seeing Jackson hit the ground started struggling to get free of Lucifer's grip.

“Oh my dear.” Lucifer cooed. “Why do you struggle so much? Don't you want to spend the rest of eternity with me? I'm sure after a long while you'll learn to love me as you do him.”

Jackson got up, sword in hand and flew toward Lucifer, rage in his eyes.

Lucifer laughed and threw Michayla in the water and grabbed Jackson and threw him toward a tree.

Jackson hit the base of the tree hard, he recovered stood up only to have a bolt of lightning strike him again sending him back down.

Suddenly Lucifer was upon him. “So I see I'm going to have to kill you first.” He said.

Jackson swung his sword at him but Lucifer knocked it away, it dissipated before it hit the ground.

Jackson struggled to get up and get away but Lucifer had a strong grip around his throat and held him there. He knew that he would have to use his other hand to kill him since he could not choke to death.

Lucifer raised his other hand, and Jackson swung and hit him in the face. Lucifer continued not even phased.

Jackson grabbed Lucifer's free hand trying to stall him as long as he could hoping Michayla would be able to do something soon.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw her. Michayla raised herself her sword in hand radiated a brilliant light. She flew at Lucifer who was to focused on Jackson to notice.

Michayla swung her sword into Lucifer's back.

In normal circumstances Jackson would have been totally awestruck by her beauty and her fierceness. She had a determination in her eyes that gave Jackson hope.

Lucifer turned and struck her sending her flying against another tree, but he was clearly wounded by the attack.

Jackson seizing the opportunity re summoned his sword and swung at it cutting at his chest.

Lucifer stumbled back away. “How is this possible?” He muttered to himself.

Jackson and Michayla stood up sword in there hand, they looked at each other. They were both shaken but knew what had to be done.

Lucifer suddenly screamed, his voice sounding inhuman and pure evil.

Lightning struck Jackson and Michayla.

Jackson fell to the ground on his knee's. He felt a tingling sensation all over his body.

Michayla stood unscathed by the lightning.

Lucifer laughed. “My what a change in scenery this is. I have not seen such fierceness since I battled Victoria.” He seemed to trail off in a long lost memory.

Michayla took the chance and lunged at him.

Lucifer reacted quickly grabbing her and pushing her down face first into the ground. “How pathetic.” He said his voice becoming more dark. “One of you is so afraid of losing the other that it shows, but you dear why are you not afraid? I almost killed him but yet you remain fearless.”

Michayla did not respond, she struggled and eventually turned to face him. She lifted her legs and kicked with all her might at him.

Lucifer was sent backwards and he stumbled and fell.

Michayla quickly got up and swung her sword at him.

Lucifer rolled out of the way, but not fast enough as the sword nicked him in the shoulder.

Michayla noticed dark blood ooze out of him where his wounds were, he seemed to be growing weaker with every successful strike.

“This is impossible.” Lucifer said trying to get up and regain himself.

“You picked the wrong fight.” Michayla told him. “You should have known better.”

Lucifer got up and stared at Michayla.

Michayla stared back and seemed to sense what appeared to be hesitation.

Suddenly Lucifer laughed, “I don't think so.” He held out his hand and a black sword appeared. “Want to fight me at my own game?” He said mockingly.

“With pleasure.” Michayla charged at him.

Lucifer parried her first attack and swung at her.

Michayla blocked with her sword and grabbed his shoulder wound.

Lucifer let out a cry and fell over.

Michayla was taken aback by this action, she recovered and started for the finishing strike.

Suddenly he disappeared Michayla looked around only to see him hovering over Jackson who was for some reason still trying to get up.

“Now this ends.” Lucifer shouted. He raised his hand. He looked around as if expecting something to happen. He stared in the direction of the lake motionless like a statue.

Michayla started toward him.

A lightning bolt came down and hit Lucifer exploding the area.

Michayla cried out as Jackson was sent further back into the forest and Lucifer landed hard against a nearby tree which was nearly destroyed when he hit it.

“I know what you want!” Lucifer cried out.

Michayla stopped wondering if he was talking to her.

Lucifer looked toward the sky. “You protect these fools until you get them back! Well they have been a nuisance to me and shall pay for there treachery take them all! I'll start anew with these two.”

Michayla was confused and then a brilliant light appeared deep inside the lake. She turned mesmerized as brilliant small white lights floated up from the lake toward the sky.

“Know this! I will collect them again.” Lucifer yelled behind her.

The lights looked like snowflakes flying up into the air. They radiated a brilliant white light.

Eventually the light inside the lake died down, and Michayla watched as the last little light seemed to linger a little before it to vanished into the clouds.

“Now It's time for you to die.” Lucifer said.

Michayla turned around and was surprised at what she saw.

Lucifer stood in brilliant white armor, his sword which was black now a combination of red and pure white. A hood covered his face but instead of red eyes illuminating from deep inside, they were an icy color. His wings were spread wide and looked truly magnificent. They were a combination of red and white.

Michayla realized that the red was from the blood of humans, and the white was the blood from angels.
She also felt a surge of energy flow through her that she did not have before.

“We start from the beginning.” Lucifer said. “Only this time you die a lot faster.”

Lucifer felt a sting coming from his chest. He looked down to see that a sword pierced him.

“Not if I can help it.” Jackson said behind him.

“I don't think you can help it.” Lucifer said leaning back against Jackson allowing the sword to push further into him. He then turned his head so he was staring directly at him.

Jackson tried to push the sword and cut him more but Lucifer disappeared. He quickly turned around only to be kicked hard in the chest. He flew past Michayla and skipped across the lake like a rock before he stopped and fell in.

Michayla looked at Lucifer determination in her eyes. “I'm afraid you don't understand that the power of heaven is on our side.” She said to him.

Lucifer laughed. “Is that so? Well does the power of heaven tell you how to kill me?”

“No.” Michayla said. “But it does tell us how to beat you.”

Jackson appeared at her side.

Michayla took his hand and they both disappeared.

Lucifer looked around sensing they were close by. “So you are going to play games? I enjoy a good game.”

“Then you'll enjoy this.” They said in unison.

Lucifer looked up, but Jackson appeared in front of him and swung his sword cutting a hole in his abdomen.

Michayla appeared behind and sliced a hole in his back.

Lucifer quickly reacted taking a swing at Jackson, but Jackson and Michayla quickly grabbed each others hands and wrapped there wings around Lucifer.

Lucifer was being pushed down, he could tell they were somewhere high above the lake. His sword flew from his hand dissipating in the wind.

Jackson and Michayla grabbed on to him and pushed him down flying as fast as they could.

Lucifer cried out as he started bleeding from the wounds that were inflicted upon him.

The dark clouds below dissipated as Michayla and Jackson slammed Lucifer hard into the ground creating a small crater.

Lucifer spun knocking both Jackson and Michayla aside and flew up in the air, only to fall hard again as he landed on his knee's “Damn you!” He shouted. Putting a hand over his wounds.

Jackson and Michayla got up and started toward him.

“This is not over!” Lucifer shouted. “I will strike again when you least expect it!” Lucifer wrapped his wings around him. “I am still in power!” He shouted one last time. “I am the morning star!” Then he disappeared.

Jackson grabbed Michayla's hand and they embraced each other. They turned to look at the horizon, where the sun was rising. They also couldn't help but notice a star above the horizon as well, it shined brightly and slowly disappeared as the sun rose higher into the beautiful blue sky and the sweet smell of morning filled the area.
