"Come through then Kailex… Goddess of Armageddon," Nemesis sneered mockingly, "I'm waiting…" he murmured softly from his realm. Kailex had almost thrown herself through the portal and herself alone but Lori was the only one who could talk sense into her, so she waited as her demonic races took their supplies through the portal, and themselves as well.

No humans were left behind on the island that was for sure.

Lori felt very strong as they had acquired a part of the Creed from the skeleton of the fallen guide Jadex.
But even to Kailex… the Creed was no longer a concern…

- Zero Hour - Battle of the Gods -

Nemesis laughed as Kailex had a fit over the sickness he had inflicted on Lori.

The tiger looked fine, but Kailex knew that the sickness would soon make him far from fine. But it wouldn't last long; she would have her revenge! Nemesis would die! He would cry in pain and agony soon enough!

Kailex quickly took over the closest village, they explained that these missionaries had landed on the shores close to them. What the hell? Kailex never helped those damned men with their boat!

The men cringed slightly when they saw Kailex, she had changed greatly in appearance but they knew it to be her.

"We found this beast in far off lands in our adventures and thought you might want him?" one explained to her, gesturing to the polar bear. Kailex snarled viciously and showed how grateful she was by slaying he polar bear and massacring the sailors. She grinned at the blood splattered over her shinning black and silver armour and turned away.

Snow was already thick in her spreading realm and night was now eternal, as was the season of winter.

As Kailex landed her armoured legs sunk into the snow half way up her shins, the metal grew cold, colder than a human could stand, but Kailex hardly noticed, her insanity and zeal for blood meant she no longer had any boundaries for pain…

Kailex grabbed a random villager and pulled the woman close.

Her black wings wrapped around the woman as did her arms and a pale purple light emanated from the goddess's wings. The woman screamed as she grew taller, roughly seven feet in height, the pupils of her eyes disappeared. Her eyes were now pupiless silver eyes that let off a subtle glow. Her light brown hair became dark, shimmering purple and her skin turned to a pale lavender. Her frame was slender and her features became more elven. Her ears were suddenly pointed, they were long and slender.

Intricate armour now covered her body, she was also now wearing a helmet that showed her chin, mouth and eyes.

Kailex dropped the newly made Kal-dorie and watched as she stood up. Looking down at Kailex with her pupiless silver eyes, the goddess staring back at her with pupiless copper ones.

Change the others my Lieutenant… Kailex hissed. The female elf nodded and walked to the others, doing as her Mistress wished.

- five hours later -

Nemesis was no longer laughing, he was roaring in anger as he could see that Kailex had taken over THREE of his villages. He roared in anger again as he sent out a never ending wave of mega blasts, shooting down from the heavens to keep her at bay, but in the pit of his gut he knew that it would not work.

Kailex was laughing hysterically, her eyes glowing scarlet with insanity as she watched the demons head off towards the forth village. Some were blasted away but the majority of her Kal-dorie reached the town and began slaughtering the humans mercilessly. They would add well to the ranks of the Zarinix…

Something huge struck Kailex with enough force to break every bone in her body, but Kailex knew that it wasn't any miracle… Nemesis…

You come to fight me so soon Nemesis? She taunted him. Nemesis roared at her as she changed into black dragon as well, her armour expanding and fixing itself to her leviathan black dragon shaped form. She had changed herself into a horrific twist of flesh and metal, pure evil in its most terrifyingly macabre form.

Kailex's eyes blazed with insanity the colour of hell as she roared at Nemesis, letting rip a thick shot of molten earth that was so hot it was an almost blinding white, black energy tendrils twisting themselves around the shot and making up what passed for the miniature comets 'tail'.

Nemesis managed to dodge the attack and slammed into Kailex.

The Goddess swerved in the air and let the other God smash face first into the ground, you are pathetic Nemesis… Kailex hissed, her jaws never moving as her voice sounded in his mind and all his followers, a most unnerving trait to many…

Nemesis roared as he got back up, shooting a load of flame and molten rock into her chest full force. Kailex screeched in anger, not in pain but in anger. Nemesis realised just what an effect the death of Raxshar had had on the Goddess, she will stop at nothing until I and everything else is destroyed… he thought faintly.

His Evil, as his Good was locked away somewhere collecting dust, spoke with him.

She will never stop hunting you Master… she will see you dead even if it means to sacrifice everything that the world knows… he hissed lightly. She would do no such thing!

Oh… I would Nemesis… Kailex's voice nearly gave the God a heart attack, nearly. She could read his thoughts as easy as written word… I would give up anything for you to suffer… you deserve to be repaid for what you did to me… and I do not just mean Raxshar's… death… she murmured. Nemesis, despite the colour of Kailex's draconic eyes, saw that they were filled with tears. Yes, Raxshar's death had truly marked her and her mind, and marked her deeply.

Nemesis realised as well what Kailex was referring to. I might have been insane already before what you did to him… Kailex growled in his mind. But I would not have been that way had you not locked my powers and me in the Hell Space for over 50 millennia… I remember that place so well… she rasped. Nemesis felt cold, for the first time in his long, long life, he felt afraid…

The God banked and turned away to his own realm, weaving between the mega blasts as Kailex's disgruntling laughter echoed eerily through his thoughts. He would never fall to such a worthless creature as she!

- The God's Army -

Nemesis cursed his followers, none of them were fighters!

He scowled as one female came up to him, his scowl faded as he noticed her to be one of his… consorts.
Then an interesting thought came to the Evil God's mind. Kailex was demonic yes, but she still had an especially… voluptuous body…
And besides, her demonic appearance turned him on a bit, he was evil after all.

You could fight fire with fire Master… Evil murmured to him as his consort placed herself artfully in his lap, her eyes and face blank as his hand slid up her thigh. Mmm… I could do that… Nemesis grinned suddenly, the blank expression on his consort's face turning to slight fear at his own change in countenance.

Nemesis bid her away and walked calmly into his main village, his only village left. But although it was the last one he possessed, it had the same number of people in it as ALL the other villages put together, which was roughly as big as Kailex's army…

Nemesis laughed as he turned into his dragon form, his people screamed in panic as he brothe white flame down on them… but they did not die… rather, they were reborn as his demons. Nemesis roared to his army, called to the as they stood up, their varied and demonic forms awed them.

Some were like a centaur, with bodies between a gecko and a dragon with powerful legs; then a dragon in the body shape of a muscled human was mounted on the shoulders of the lower torso. Their scaly hides were made from black, solidified acid and their fearsome countenances' should bring fear to Kailex and her followers. They wielded ferocious weapons, silver tridents, black-bladed whips and many more.

Others were somewhere between wolf and reptile. Their eyes blazing white as a mane of spikes swept down their backs' leading to a long flexible tail composed of a thin but strong vertebrae covered in dangerously sharp spines. Their short legs were strong and were armed with three clawed, compact toes. The scarlet claws dripped with poison as their black teeth and draconic maw were surrounded with acrid blue flames. Every time the beasts breathed out blue wisps of flame could be seen. Their hides were thick and scaled black and red.

Nemesis named the first, more draconic demons, Harnreks. The second kind he named Garbarks.

- The Battle Of Armageddon -

Kailex had gathered her forces, all of them were following her willingly into battle. The Kal-dorie on their oversized black, sabre-toothed and emerald eyed panthers that they themselves had named Night Sabres. The Terank in thicker battle armour than they usually wore. The Zarinix were following their Mistress through the air, garbed in similar battle armour. Yet theirs were not near enough as durable or as hellish as the armour that Kailex had fused to her body…

The clouds had gathered… dark, almost black behemoths that hovered over the land for as far as the eye could see.

It began to rain, it raining heavily and hard upon the two armies, the water striking their armour so hard that it added to the rumble of many, heavy footfalls and the sudden battle cries as the two sides saw each other.

Now was the time…

Charge… was the one word that Kailex rasped in the minds of all her warriors as she drew her blade and, in one great arch pointed to Nemesis' army. As her demonic followers charged on Kailex desperately hissed another command. One, if broken, she would never forgive or forget…

Nemesis is mine, not one of you is to touch him… with a sudden thought Kailex added, even if I am losing or dying from a injury, do not aid me… she then flapped her wings and flew to Nemesis.

The God was laughing as the two sides met. A horrific clash as bones cracked and splintered, muscle ripped and twisted. Necks braking, agonised screams as their flesh burned or some other horrid fate befell them.

He noticed Kailex flying to him and grinned evilly. He drew his own black blade, his own battle armour glistening as water from the heavens pelts against his metal coated form. This was it… now was the time when all would see his victory, all would see that no one could stand against Nemesis… the God of Gods!

Not even a pathetic goddess driven mad by pain from the loss of her loved one, nothing would stop him from having ultimate power…

They met, blades clanging as they tried to outmanoeuvre the other.

Kailex screamed, her lips pulling back over her monstrous teeth as Nemesis laughed at her 'futility' as he mockingly called it. She delivered powerful blows, but Nemesis always blocked them, slashing at her as well but only striking metal like herself.

The two immensely powerful deities fought one another, knowing that one was going to have to die in this fight and neither planned for it to be them to fall. Kailex would make sure of it… she'd already made her decision…

Nemesis laughed, swinging at Kailex head, his grin disappeared when Kailex tilted her head sharply to catch the blade with her bladed left horn. She grinned insanely behind her helmet and flicked her head backwards, twisting at the same time as the blade left Nemesis' hand. Kailex laughed as she swung at Nemesis, expecting the blade to go straight through metal, flesh and bone.

However, the God had moved swiftly away. Kailex had had enough of the way mortal's fought.

They both changed into their solid dragons, but Nemesis had a disadvantage, he had no armour bolted to his hide and did not have insanity adding to his strength. Nevertheless, he was not about to stand down from a Goddess, a female.

Now they truly battled, battled each other like the great behemoths they were. Two black leviathans dog-fighting in the air in an effort to slaughter the other, both roaring, hissing and screeching as they either missed or struck.

Nemesis slammed his giant clawed paw into the side of Kailex's metal coated head. His claws raked against the mixed alloy of adamantium and silver and sparks burst forth, Kailex laughed, once a smooth but deep sound, her dragon's laugh was now throaty and guttural.

I pity your futility to hurt me Nemesis! she laughed as they continued to fight. Nemesis only response to this was an enraged roar. How dare you! You are nothing more than a lower being! I am the lord of this world! I alone will slay you as easily as a slew your worthless excuse for a lover! at the mention of Raxshar in such words Kailex was driven further into her insanity.

Her eyes, blazing already like the very core of the Hell Space itself, filled with a primal fury that made Nemesis feel cold. A mental image flashed through his mind, he knew what exactly he had seen, an inadvertent prediction…

You will NOT defeat me you pathetic excuse for a Goddess! he roared.

Kailex roared back, twirling in the air, a blade on the tip of her right wing sliced over Nemesis left eye. He roared with pain as a redness blurred his vision. Something thick and rounded slammed into his shoulder, Nemesis knew if it had slammed into his head that it would have been much worse.

There was a club attached to the end of her tail in her dragon form.

Nemesis dived at Kailex, she roared, meeting him high up in the air as their armies fought each other far, far below them in the raging storm. The two behemoths were so high that their wings were starting to brush the clouds. Kailex would have felt slightly light-headed, but she couldn't be bothered less, she was too focused on Nemesis.

Kailex latched her claws onto his scaly shoulders, her hind feet digging into his hips and scraping away scales. She grinned insanely and roared, a fount of white molten earth shooting from her black maw and smashing into Nemesis' face. The God roared in pain, trying desperately to fling the Goddess from her as scales sizzled to nothing on his draconic face.

The commander of the Terank, named by Kailex herself as Jaren'alk, roared in triumph as he caved in the head of another Garbark. He used quick but affective magic against the Harnreks, their acidic hides proving to melt anything that came in contact with it; including the Garbarks and their own weapons if they weren't careful. However, they made up for lost weapons with their own bodies, being made from living acid definitely had its morbid advantages.

Jaren'alk was actually the second commander, as the first one, named Xarfrenk had been killed in the first with Lethys, some how human had stabbed him in the back of his neck. Kailex hadn't even noticed the change in commander. Jaren'alk had enjoyed fighting with his spear, the skull of Lethys mounted on it, but it had been destroyed by one of the Harnreks.

The bull-faced Terank bulled his way through the Garbarks, slaying them by cleaving them with his double-bladed war axe, smashing their skulls in and many other fates befell the opposing demons. Jaren'alk smiled grimly as he briefly looked to the sky, the rain landing hard on his face and helmet as he saw the two leviathan's fighting as savagely as the demons below them did, if not more so.

Jaren'alk roared again as a Garbark jumped at him, it screeched with bloodlust, clamping its jaws down on his left forearm, his right wielding the axe. The Terank yelled something incoherent at the other demon and swung as best he could at it. The blade buried itself in the Garbark's ribcage and it unlatched itself from the Terank's arm.

The young commander ripped his axe from the Garbark and swung again, this time the axe blade struck it's head…

The Kal-dorie were rushing around on their giant cats, swiftly cutting into the foe and retreating, quickly using magic then slicing into the foe again. The Zarinix swooped down on the opposing demons, picking up ones that were neither Garbark or Harnrek, and pulling them high into the air, and up out of sight. It was then followed by horrendous cries and screams as the figures fell from the skies…

Kailex laughed like the insane beast that she was, she had opened up many cuts on Nemesis' body, he was bleeding, but so was she. Three times had one of his claws hooked one of her giant plates, in her dragon form the plates mimicked the scales that went down her underside but then did not mimic the scales covering the rest of her body.

Nemesis had torn the plates away sharply, leaving only two spaces open for attack. Her right shoulder, which was bleeding anyway as the plates were bolted and welded to her hide, and there was another open space on her back.

The God himself had injuries on his giant body. His hips had been cut into, scales had fallen away. His forearms were badly scratched up and Kailex had melted away more scales on the base of his tail. The scales of his face were melted away, leaving his face very open to another attack, he had been smart enough not to go near enough for Kailex to hold him in the same position until he used his secret miracle attack on her…

Kailex lunged at him again. Nemesis roared with laughter and cast the miracle, a bright white flash shot at Kailex and her open jaws and swiftly slid down her throat. The Goddess roared with pain, feeling like her body was on fire from the inside out. She had convulsions and fits, her wings stopped moving at she plummeted down out of sight.

Nemesis hovered in the air, roaring in triumph. NO ONE SHALL DEFEAT ME! he roared.

Something heavy collided with his back. Nemesis now roared in surprise as he was swiftly taken to the ground. The earth rushed up quickly and Kailex released her grip just as Nemesis was five metres above his own army, he landed was a colossal and resounding crash. Kailex roared mockingly at him as she flew over head, her tail swinging low and beat once against his bleeding shoulder.

She flew up higher into the clouds…

Nemesis raised his head off the ground, he roared in anger, seeing that Kailex had made him crush the majority of his army, they were now at a disadvantage. Nemesis raised off the ground, he brothe fire and the crushed ones and they pieced back together, now running towards the enemy again as corpses.

The God flew up through the air, Kailex was no where to be seen, but her scent was everywhere.

My Temple! he thought, suddenly realising where she was. He flew fast to his temple, seeing her dark shape as he tail suddenly slammed into the side of his temple. The tall building toppled over, that was it… Nemesis fell from the air, his physical and magical strength draining from him.

As he crashed into the ground he changed back to his human form, and for the first time in his life… the Evil God cried. He sobbed into the muddy ground, pain wracking his body enough to make him pass out, but Kailex was forcing him awake, keeping him in pain and not giving him the release of sleep.

She landed next to him in her human form.

You cry now Nemesis? she asked softly, but Nemesis knew that she was mocking him. He felt her fingers trail along his jaw and he opened his eyes, looking at her as her dragon wings spread out over his body and herself, shielding them from the rain. You are dying Nemesis… she stated coldly, as you should be…

Nemesis screamed at her and reached up, grabbing Kailex around her waist; he pulled her to the ground. Kailex hissed, jerking her head to the left, her bladed right horn sliced into his face. Nemesis roared in pain but pulled Kailex closer, if he was going to die why shouldn't she?

As he cast the spell, making Kailex's armour glow white hot, burning her flesh even more than it had when she had first worn it, Kailex opened her mouth wide, for the first time for months she spoke. "No! Raxshar I am sorry!" she screamed. "But I killed him! He is no more now!" she screamed again, her insanity so great that she believed she could see Raxshar himself standing in front of her…

Lori knew something bad had happened, in the pit of his stomach he knew something was wrong. He incinerated another Harnrek, he then leapt into the air, his form shifting but staying the same size as he turned into a grey and black scaled dragon with glowing violet eyes.

He glided over the land, over the two armies… until he saw the two specks of colour on the ground, not to far from the ruins of Nemesis' temple. Lori roared in anguish as he realised who the two figures were. He swooped down, landing near and changing into his much more human sized form with the Greek white skirt.

Lori ran over to knew that Nemesis was dead, but what about his Mistress?

The tiger creature knew that tears were going down his face as he gather her in his arms. Her head lolled backwards and he removed her helmet, the skin was burned badly, third-degree burns, maybe even worse…

Her eyes were closed and the eyelids had somehow not been burned away to nothing, her horns were charred and twisted out of shape and her wings and tail were burned terribly. Lori knew without further inspection that his Mistress was dead.

The Goddess of Armageddon was dead…

Fin.
