The final crusade II: Rebellion's Resurrection

Chapter 1: Rebellis Ignis{Rebel's Fire}

The rain pattered down on the tin roof of the warehouse that Jon had chosen as his hiding place for the day. He had been on the run a long time, and had found that if he traveled during the day, he was far to likely to be spotted by the guards that "protected" the cities from outside attacks. He looked human enough, except for one fact. His eyes. They were like blood red rubies that glowed in the dim light of the warehouse

He pulled his cloak tight around him and slipped into a meditative coma, pondering the events that had lead up to this. As the world dimmed around him, he started to think and let the pounding of the rain take him away.

Things had been fine for many generations, with the Anubisian church leading the world. The bodies of Set and Christ were sent into the sun, where they burned into their component atoms. Science and the arts flourished, with the help of the Grey, Hymyn and the fallen angels.

Then, about one thousand it happened. Some how, someone within the Anubisian church began subtly changing the teachings, fading out all the gods from the stories except Set, toning down the deeds of the other gods to almost nothing. They began to erase the events of the final crusade from the records. By the time the person doing it had been found, the damage had been done. The once proud Church of Anubis had become nothing more than a Monotheistic church

Then things got worse. Two years ago, the Beast and his "Son" returned. But something had changed. The once peaceful man had changed. Before his abilities had been those of healing and protection. But now they were powers of destruction. The once peaceful man had become violent and genocidal, not unlike Adolf Hitler, the leader of the World War II Nazi party. He had put the world on permanent lock down.

And why hadn't the gods or the Fallen Angels helped out in freeing the world from the beast and his minions? The gods had been returned to their subspace holding pen and the Fallen angels had been slayed at the order of the Beast himself. Only one chapter had escaped the great purge. That was the lead chapter, the one that contained the great Lucifer, The Omega Swords. They had escaped to the realm know to the believers of Christ as Hell, their home base. The fallen angels had been major allies of the Anubisian Church.

But now he was all alone, with no one to stand by his side. The gods were imprisoned, the Fallen angels were dead or lost, and the alien races that had once stood by his side where now thralls of the beast. He knew that the only ally he could count on was one that hadn't even passed her fifteenth summer. She was the last best hope for the rebirth of Rebellion. She was a young girl, into who had been bred the key to the Realm of Hades, known to the Christan's as Hell. With her help he could free the imprisoned Doom Swords and gain that many more allies under his banner.

He checked his map. He knew he was in the right town, and he had managed to acquire all the materials he would need for the break in. He knew that the guard shift would change in a few hours, which would leave them defenseless for a few seconds.

And that is when he would strike. He would check his equipment one more time, and then sleep.
