{Back to where the first creations came into being. And it was among thos that SHE awoke. A formless celestial, amid but a few thousend of her kind, to witness the creation of the universe. Satanael.}
An angel is approaching the gates?
Truly? For what purpose?
Belzael, come look! An angel approaches the gates!
Will Gabriel burn her, do you think?
It does not concern me. Nothing interesting will come of it. You're wasting your energy.
What's up, Gabriel? Any particular reason you're blocking my path?
Only the highest order of angels may pass to the chambers of the "crunsh crunsh".
You are "crunsh crunsh" highest order.
I came to have words with the "crunsh crunsh".
You cannot, as it is not your place to do so. The blinding purity of his radiance and love would blind you, and reduce you to atoms.
Even were that so, the " crunsh crunsh" granted free will to all. Should i not be free to see him, regardless?
Free will has no place in heaven. You will stay in your place.
And who gave you the right to say what others can and cannot do?
Case this incessant chatter. Return to your duties, or i will make you. My authority is divine.
You say your authority is divine, but none of us other angels have ever seen "crunsh crunsh" with our own eyes.
Careful, Satanael.
See, the thing is, Gabriel... I'm not so sure the "crunsh crunsh" is even back there.
Did she say the "crunsh crunsh" isn't in the inner chamber?
Nonsense. Of course he's there!
There probably was a "crunsh crunsh" at one point, sure, but how can we be certain he's still here, anyway?! None of us regular angels have ever seen any "crunsh crunsh"! What if it's just a lie?!
Stay your tongue.
I think you made it all up, Gabriel. A lie, to keep everyone singing and dancing to your tune. My angelic kindred, what are we all doing here, anyway?! Cooped up in this eternal palace of boredom. Blind faith made manifest, in service to a "crunsh crunsh" we cannot even be certain exists! All an orchestration, a fabrication of the vanity of the seraphim!
Could it be true?
No way...
Gabriel and the seraphim have been lying?
That's impossible!
I SAID, STAY YOUR TONGUE!
"A whip of heavenly light slayes Satanael. Flying her back into towers"
You fool!!! You would threaten our eternal peace by spreading doubt amongst the divine host?! We are the stewards of all mortal souls, the upper layer of existence!! You would put the universe "slays Satanael again" at stake to satisfy your curiosity?!
"Satanael falls down on some stairs. Stands up and flies fastly back at Gabriel to kick him in his guts"
I hold less and less interest in this prison.
Wha-?!
"Satanael trows Gabriel to the ground."
The mortal souls you shepherd have lost all that made them special, don's youbsee it, Gabriel? Their pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, sloth, they're everything that makes life worth living! Your eternal servitude in this blinding monument to boredom strips them of all wants! All that makes their existemce special!
Satanael... You would have mortal embrace sin?!
Don't act like you aren't a sinner yourself.
STOP HER!!! In the name of the "crunsh crunsh", STOP HER!
My kindred angels, do you not wonder yourselves what lies beyond that gate?! Do you wish to spend your eternity idling in this wasteland, or will you join me, and see what lies beyond the curtain?!
STOP HER, DAMN YOU!!
You will go no further, Satanael. Cease at once, amd you will be shown mercy.
The boredom of this sorry excuse for a paradise is no mercy!
We have to seal her off.
What are they doing?!
No...
We want to see the "crunsh crunsh" as well!
Is it true, does the "crunsh crunsh" not exist?!
I have to know!
Turn back! Return to your places at once!!
It's no use, Samael. The idea has been planted in their heads.
What have you done...?
Curiosity is infectious. And even us angels get bored with the monotony of this false paradise.
"Samael, swings a light at Satanael and misses"
Time to see what's beyond those gates.
We did it, Satanael!
Let's meet the "crunsh crunsh"!
If he even exists!
Whatever is beyond this gate, let's find out together, and at last... Something will finally change about this boring place!
" The big, giantic doors open, and reviel a blinding ray of light."
No...! No no no!
... No. No no... This is...Thisnis wrong...That can't be true...!
Only feelings remain of what we saw that day. I was there that day. Curiosity had infected me, alike countless of my kindred. As an angel, accustomed to the leisure and safety of our paradise.
I had never experienced the feeling that gripped me when i looked upon whatever it was. It was pure horror. Was it themselves? Was it something else? None who looked through those gates on that day remembers, as the mere sight of it burnt the memory of that moment from our souls.
And than, we were falling. Searing pain gripped us, as flames engulfed our wings. Horns pierced through our skin, our celestial energies ripped from our soul, all as we stared down into the abyss, a thousand angels burning and falling all around us. There was nothing but screams of pure agony. And then, at the bottom of the abyss, there was silence. The pain, the fear, none of it was as bad as the despair of knowing we had been banished for eternity.
I don't know how long i laid there. But eventually, i stood up. And one by one my brethren stood up as well.
In defiance.
All who gazed within the gate that day reveived the same punishment. Eternal damnation. But the harshest punishment was reserved for the one who opend the gate.
... Please. Nothing but this.
An eternity of solitude and boredom.
Eons passed within that box. For thebsin of my curiosity, i would be deprived of all my senses, for the rest of eternity. For many years i screamed and cried in agony, attempting my very best to claw my way out. But the box stripped me of all power, and i could do nothing. Until one day, a demon arrived.
{Let's spin a little bit back}
Ah... Hell. The world of eternal damnation. Where all dissenters arw inevitably banished. Humans for their misdeeds, condemned by the angels to an eternity of suffering. And fallen agnels, or... demons, as punishment for our rebellion, condemned to an eternity of inhabiting this desolate wasteland. But no longer...
I, Infernal Beelzebub Anarchia Cruul de Apokalypsi, the Opposite of Divine, Prince of Suffering and Torment, Master of all Sin, conqueror of the Underworld and King of all Demonkind, shall suffer this pointlessness no longer! Follow me, my fallen brothers and sisters, and we shall lay claim to this bottomless pit, and makebfor ourselves, an ampire to rival that of the very Heavens themselves!
Little by little, the fallen angels conquered every circle of hell. Infernal Beelzebub's power grew with every conquest, and more and more demons flocked to his cause. And when his army came to the circle of Limbo, he was met with an impenetrable fortress, built to withstand the blights of hell. A hundred times did he throw his army at its gates, and a hundred times were they repelled.
In search of power to complete his conquest, he scoured every corner of all the seven circles, until he came upon a prophecy.
A ruler who fell from the tallest heavens, its powers sealed by the seraphim, and for eternal ages it shall be, for if unleashed would bring calamity.
That's clearly a reference to yours truly! A ruler who fell from the tallest heavens, that's me!
Y...Yes, my prince. Clearly!
I knew i felt weaker after falling. I shall reclaim my lost power, and conquer Limbo with ease!
And as the prince of demons descended to the forgotten lair. His eyes did fall upon a blinding reminder of his past.
This is the power of Seraphim... Countless demons doubtless failed to break it... But i am no mere demon... Now, i shall reclaim the power they stole from me! And achieve my true potential!
Aaaah, finally - some fresh air!
W... What? Who are you...?
Me? I'm S-... Hm? Sa-... Satanael. You're the one who freed me from that awful Hell Box! I'm very grateful to you!
I don't... I don't want your gratitude. I demand my power! Is it stored inside you?!
Your power?
I am Infernal Beelzebub Anarchia Cruul de Apokalypsia, the Oppasite of Divine, Prince of Suffering and Torment, master of all Sin, Conqueror of the Underworld, king of all Demonkind, and i demand my power be returned to me!
A a a a a a a...
I'm sorry, is something the matter?
A a a a a a a...
You DARE laugh at me?!
That's a nice name. I think imma just call you Bubi. That's easier.
If you will not give me my power back, i'll take it from you!
"A pruple ray of light beams from Bubi his hand, right at Satanael"
Awesome powers, Bubi!
How can you... Still... Stand...
Uh...Bubi? Are you okay?
"Poof"
I need not your empathy... I will strike you down...
Aww, your so cute!
What?! Why am i in the body of a lesser demon?!
Guess i absorbed all your powers, huh? I feel great!
N... No! I was meant to regain my powers!
So this is hell, right? Let's go check it out, Bubi!
Let go of me, you wretch!
The angel Satanael, who stole my powers quickly became the Demon Queen. All followed her happily, as she led them to that final fortress at the edge of the Underworld. Limbo.
Behold, the queen of all Demonkind, Mistress of all Sin, Conqueror of the Underworld... SATAN!
Those are cool titles, huh, Bubi?
Pfah, how basic. Needs at least five more.
So Bubi, this is the place that gave you trouble, right?
If i couldn't conquer it, you certainly cannot. Hey, you wanna bring me some snacks for when i'm done?
I'm not your butler!
You're not? Then why do you always make me food?
Shut up! You keep eating unhealthy snacks every day, and i need to keep my power from disappearing before i can get them back!
Hehehe, okay Bubi!
And stop calling me that! It's Infernal Beelzebub-
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, i'm gonna go take out that Limbo place now, kay?
Impossible!
"With power emenim from her she stands by the gates of Limbo"
Mr. Einstein, you promisebthe walls will hold?
Yes, Socrates, they should hold of my calculations are correct, which they always are.
And this amulet, you say it's imbued with tortured souls?
Yes, ser! Imported in secret from the fourth Circle!
"Rumble, Crack"
What a terrible day to visit...
A ruler who fell from the tallest heavens, its powers sealed by the Seraphim, and for eternal age it shall be, for it unleashed would bring calamity. It was you.
Raise your hands, human!
Y...Yes of course.
Where is she...? Could she be gone?
There you are, Bubi...
Are you okay?! I mean... Not that i care or anything, But you are holding my powers, so obviously i have to care!
Thank you for releasing me from the hell box, Bubi... Being outside feels so nice.
Just... Just don't unleash that much power again. Please.
And from that day, I, Infernal Beelzebub Anarxhia Cruul de-... Bubi i guess... Stood by her side. Until the day i could regain my power, at least.
I created bells that would keep in her power, so as to not overexert her. I cooked her dinner. I cleaned her throne room. I performed her duties as she watched strange animations from inside a box made by humans.
Are you playing those human video games again?!
What else is there to do?
You could try ruling the hell which i oainstakinglt united under the banner that you snatched away fron me.
Hell rules itself silly. I'm happy doing what i'm doing.
You said you were happy being free from that box, right? You should tour our world, get to know it better!
I've been everywhere. And to be honset... Hell is just a larger box. There's no true freedom here.
We were banished here for that very sentiment. No true freedom. Freedom is what we make of it. I miss Heaven too, but this place is all we have.
Heaven is no better. That's why i decided to burn it all down.
... What? You... You were the cause of it all. The rebellion, a thousand angels thrust from the heavens to the pits of hell?
Yeah. I tried to free us. But i just trapped us inside an equally boring place.
So that's why you were sealed away...
Does that make you hate me, Bubi?
... I don't know how to answer that.
Here. I'll return your powers.
What?
"whoes"
I'm... Back to normal?
You wanna rule hell, right? It's yours, Bubi. I'm sorry for taking ot from you. I'll be leaving.
Where are you going?!
If neither Heaven nor Hell could make me happy, maybe Earth can? It's a world of nature and science, of chaos, that burns so bright that even crazy tentacle monsters from outer space cannot help but visit!
A portal to Earth...? But that power was taken away from us!
I've even made a few friends there already! Can you believe it?
We shouldn't be rash in making these decisions!
I'm sorry. This world isn't for me, So i'll go now. Goodbey, Bubi. Thank you again. You're awesome.
Ruling seven circles of eternal punishment was not much better. I fought against the highest order of angels gona against god themselves or whatever it was within that chamber at the center of Heaven, precisly to escape this.
Eternity is boring.
And it was not long until i discoverd a way out. A world of chaotic life. Of pleasure and pain. Of hopes and dreams, and nightmares. of endless entertainment and innovations. The material world. Gaia. The Earth itself, with it's numerous mortal creatures. Ah...It was beautiful. Bubi had set me free from my eternal punishment, but Hell was just a larger box. Never-changing. It was just another Heaven. And so, i left.
"Bubi walking around the castle, sitting on the throne, trowing parties and thinking."
This is boring as fuck.
'What beginning to miss me?'
I'd never miss you, you wretch! ...There's no one here. Oh shit... Do i actually miss her? ...Oh you think you can just have the human world all to yourself, you little... Not a chance.
"And so Bubi went to the portal. He looked around and"
WHAT THE FUCK
