In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form and void…

1,000,001,300 Years Later

There they are Uriel. I knew it was only a matter of time.

Do you sense that strange shift in energy?

Malik nods and replies, Yes that would be the new Samael.

A look of shock crosses Uriel’s face. That is Samael? But how did he…

I do not know. Perhaps we should go and ask.

Malik takes off toward the mountainside where Azazel and Samael were heading. Uriel shakes his head in concern. I sure hope that they answer politely. Uriel flies off to catch up with Malik.

Azazel places the small stone tablet down in front of the altar and turns to Samael. Should we go ahead and…

No we wait until he gets here! Barks Samael as the two angels are then startled by the sound of a familiar voice.

And just who are you waiting for traitor? Malik slowly descends from the air in front of them. So you swear a false promise to me and Uriel, only to be loyal to the ones who we were working so hard to keep contained.

Azazel gives Malik a confident smirk and replies, Poor Malik, always the last to know. You spend an entire epic trying to solve the mysteries of the universe, only to come to the answers after they have already been acted upon.

Malik lashes out toward Azazel, but is caught and held firm by Samael coursing with power and now looking him in the face. Now, now half breed. Let us not be too hasty. I want you to live to witness the end. So let us not begin just yet.

The end of what? asks Uriel with wonder.

Ah, the Cherubim. All of the knowledge in the universe and you still did not see what inevitable fate lies in front of you. Uriel glances at the altar and sees the tablet lying there at its base. Yes Uriel, he has returned and soon he will undo all that the Creator has done to ruin this universe by denying the proper justice and balance required. Right now he is taking care of those pitiful excuses of existence, those man creatures of which your so called father has placed such faith.

Malik shouts back in question, Why? What concern are they to him?

Samael replies with a look of anguish on his face. Because he would place them above us in the end! Can you not see that he has made us servants to these creatures? We have existed for ages and served Him with just cause and how does he repay us…

Malik interjects quickly. I have heard enough! We cannot allow you to place the tablet on the altar. Prepare yourselves traitors, your time is up!

Do you truly wish to be dispatched from this world before the new is born?

Malik’s eyes widen with a look as if death himself had just sentenced his very existence. He retreats backward followed quickly by Uriel. Lucifer!

Samael and Azazel instantly drop to one knee. Rise my friends, the time is now. Lucifer picks up the stone tablet and proceeds to place it on the altar when Malik darts toward him. He is quickly intercepted by Samael who sailing forward his hand on Malik’s throat, pinning the half breed against the side of Mt. Carphasion. Azazel joins Samael as they both extend their hands and four energy balls and direct them at Malik’s torso. Suddenly they are frozen in place as Lucifer pointedly stops to turn and look at Uriel. I cannot allow this to continue!

Lucifer smiled and shakes his head. Come now Uriel, that’s just plain cheating. Lucifer tosses the tablet in the air and grabs the Cherubim on the head with both hands. Before Uriel can react, he is turned to dust by a black velvet blast of energy.

2,150,000 Years Later

Loki flies swiftly toward his dominion on the planet of dark matter at the center of the universe. As he lands he notices his Lord and Creator, Marduk, waiting for him. He immediately drops to one knee. You summoned me my Lord?

Marduk smiles and replies, "Rise my friend. What
