The final battle of the first war, A short story.

In aeons past, long before your gods, your universe, or even your multiverse, when the omniverse was but a few million years old, the original fourty five fought a war of epic proportions, this was the first war of the alignments.  The Forces of the Fel nine had smashed into the lands of the holy nine, The Swarms of Daemons, Devils, Demons, Demodands, Undead, Chromatic Dragons, and other foul beasts showed no mercy. The forces of the Chaotic nine joined the Fel swarm in a horrific alliance, Faced with destruction the Impartial nine of neutrality joined the Holy nine, but still they were vastly outnumbered.  But together, lead by the Original Good Celestiar, the Alliance managed to sneak a massive army onto the gates of Olark'gar the Fortress of Death, but the Hordes of the Dreadnought marched out of the gates to meet them in battle in the final battle of the first war, this is their story. 

As the Joint armies of those generally aligned with Chaos and Evil poured out of the gates, the Forces of Neutrallity and Good prepared for what they thought would be their end.  Celestiar then moved to the front lines, in the form of a great Platinum scaled Dragon with Shining eyes and Feathery wings "Fellow beings, we are here before the Fiends and Slaad of the enemy, we are all that stands between them and the tipping of the precious Balance between the Evil Outer Gods and Our Benevolent Elder gods.   If we fail, the Outer gods will have the slight advantage they need to conquer the young Omniverse, and enslave the future generations!  But we will grant them freedom, We shall fight for those who will come to be!  We will Fight for those Who once were!  We must Fight for those who are now!  We will not let them Vanquish us without a fight!  We shall not disappear into the abyss without a shout!  Now let us charge!  To the ends of Time and the limits of Space!" spoke Celestiar as it reared up on it's hind legs before going back down on all fours and charging forward to the dark castle. 

"For the King!! FOR THE LAND!!! FOR THE MOUNTAINS!!! FOR THE GREEN VALLIES WHERE ANGELS FLY!!! FOR THE GLORY!!! FOR THE POWER THAT WILL DEFEAT THE BLACK LORD!!!! CHARGE!!!!!!" shouted an Gold dragon general as it charged, followed by countless numbers of men, who smashed into the infinitely larger hordes of Chaos and Evil like a great flood against an Even Greater Wall.  The Lawful Good archons cut down the Chaotic Evil Demons with a holy grace, the Chaotic Good Eladrin chopped down the Lawful Evil devils with the furies of Freedom, The Neutral Good guardinals Savaged the Neutral Evil Yugoloths.   In the Skies the Giant Owls, Giant Eagles,  Metallic Dragons, Other beasts, and Winged Celestials clashed with Dire Bats, Pterodactyls, Chromatic Dragons, Winged Fiends, and Flying Undead.   The Talons of the Great Giant Owl Olaras sank into the Backs of many of the Dire bats, and it's beak bit the heads off of several Pterodactyls, but it knew that it was no match for the Great Chromatic dragons and Winged Fiends, and many of the Flying undead would outmatch it.  

The Nightwings, great Bats of Negative energy and Darkness swooped down on the Neutral Rilmari who lacked any form of non-magical flight, and the Nightwings dispelled magic on touch, and it fed them.   They were terrible to behold, they were as large as a private jet in length but with wings one and a half times greater, they looked like a huge bat shadow that was impossibly dark.  But Olaras smashed into one of the Nightwings, and as it was trained as a Cleric, it unleashed a wave of Positive energy to Turn or better yet Destroy the undead, and as the Energy of life coursed through all the night bats within a mile long cone it destroyed dozens if not hundreds of them, and then it moved and began Dog fighting with a particularly large one, One that was the size of a Airbus A380 in length but with wings twice the length of the man made aircraft, Olaras himself was but the size of a p-51 Mustang.   A slight tinge of fear poured through the Leader of the Owls, but he shook it off as he called many of his best Soldiers to attack the Enormous Undead Flier. 

The Great Nightwing upon seeing the enemy simply flapped it's wings rapidly, creating tornado force winds that blew back the incoming owls and winged celestials,   "Is this the best that Celestiar has?  Then I shall have no problem destroying your kind!  For I am Xelarantix One of the Greatest Nightwing princes!" spoke the Abomination of Darkness.   Olaras was stunned by this remark and decided to see as to how it could be so strong, even for an advanced Nightwing, and it found the source of it's power, It was no ordinary Nightwing but a Paragon Nightwing, and it remembered, a Paragon creature is vastly more powerful than it's normal counter parts, they could see a limited distance into the future which allowed them to dodge attacks easily and land blows as well, combined with an immense luck factor which further increased the difficulty in hitting them and their abillity to land blows, and it immensely adds to their innate spell casting abillities, and grants some new ones, and only of all physical weapons only epic level magic weapons could harm it, paragons became immensely hard to harm with cold and fire, their wounds would heal in milliseconds, their speed would triple, they would become far more powerful physically and mentally and finally their skills would sharpen immensely. 


Oloras knew that it could not match such a beast and Decided to summon the aid of the Mightiest Bronze Dragon on the field, and soon Krakytaranth, the Great Wyrm Bronze Dragon emerged from the Ocean where it was finishing up some Aquatic forces of the Fel swarm to deal with the Nightwing, and from it's mouth Sprang an immense bolt of lightning which struck the Vast Darkness given form with the fury of a thousand angry gods.   The Nightwing's body was damaged severely but as it was undead, it felt no pain, and it's wounds began to heal, although the sheer amount of damage done would take some time, but before it could summon a massive horde of Undead, the Bronze dragon casted Chain lightning and another bolt of lightning flew from it's hand which struck the Great Dark bat again, dealing less damage but the lightning went up and back down into it twenty times, though each of these times it was only half as strong as the main bolt, but the damage was actually surpassing that of it's main breath weapon.   Angered the Xelarantix Dived down at Krakytaranth and casted unholy blight, a spell that unleashes pure evil energy in a 240 foot in radius explosion.    But the magic was negated by the Mighty Wyrm's spell resistance as it got within the distance to attack it with it's claws. 

And as the dragon itself had the same physical weapon immunities as the Nightwing it could penetrate the nightwing's defenses something that went both ways, but the Dragon Bit into the hide of the Nightwing and tore a truck sized chunk out of Xelarantix's abdomen and then three more bites struck it yet again, and it's four claws struck the Nightwing sixteen times in total, opening great gashes into the darkness, then it's tail lashed out four times breaking the bones of the Undead's wings, and as the nightwing began to fall the Dragon dove at it and rammed it to the ground.   However the Nightwing was not finished, and it's injuries from the Dragon's Physical attack had already healed, as had the lightning barrage's damage.   But Krakytaranth was wise to this and casted Wing Bind, which grounded the Nightwing and prevented it from flying.   However the Great undead bat rammed into the dragon, knocking it to the ground back first, the bronze dragon spun around with it's tail stuck out, tripping Xelarantix and it's body struck the ground with a thunderous rage.  

As it's claws flashed the dragon unleashed a great orb of raw light, a sunburst, the twenty foot orb of radiance flashed and the nightwing's eyes opened wide in terror, as any undead or fungus vulnerable to light would be instantly destroyed, unlike most who would simply be severely damaged, and soon the light seared it's darkness, leaving naught but a dark stain as the great bat screamed it's last cries of pain that howled through the world.   And the ever expanding burst of light incinerated more and more of the innumerable undead hordes that were being sent out to bolster the forces of Evil and Chaos.   Until it finally stopped at a thousand feet in diameter, leaving ashes of countless undead.  

However the rest of the battle was not doing as well, for the forces of chaos and evil vastly outnumbered that of good and neutrality.   They were pushed back to their fortress town of Oman-hed, a vast city consisting of nine cocentric ring walls, and in between each were seperate points of the city, the city was some 900 miles in diameter and the top ring was 90 miles high, it's white walls gleamed in the sunlight standing a mile high each, and the forces of good and neutrality ran quickly into the walls to seek shelter against the tidal wave of Chaos and Evil. 

As they all managed to enter, they sealed the gates to hold against the slower forces of Chaos and Evil, they made their final prayers to the Elder Gods, in hopes that they would show the way to victory, but their prayers seemed to go unanswered the following day, for on the horizon, meeting their eyes, was a vast force of untold proportions.   Led by a great monster that took a serpent like form, a horrific beast which has three enormous tails sprouting from it's torso, each the length of three buses end from end where it's legs should be, a reptilian but humanoid torso with six arms, each arm splitting into three forearms at the elbow, and instead of a single head sprout eighteen snakes each as long as a van, but each snake splits into three necks at the mid point, and each neck bears three heads, and each head has six jaws arranged in a floral pattern, with six eyes, sixty tentacles sprang from it's back, waist, and shoulder, and enormous skin flaps jut out from the monstrosities body to help it glide, in addition to the cobra like hoods of the snake heads and from it's back sprout forth six wings, two mosquito like wings, two membranous ones, and two bird like wings, and even it's name was horrible, for it called itself Xoriatserpentranasor, the Incarnate of Madness, and one of the Entropic nine, the incarnates of chaos.

Xoriatserpentranasor reared it's snake necks and each hissed in a deafining melachony and it's innumerable hordes charged forth, and like a great tidal wave a surge of abberations, undead, machines, humanoids, magical beasts of war, outsiders, elementals, animals, monstrous humanoids, giants, evil and chaotic fey, and animate plants surged forth in a frenzy, with Xoriatserpentranasor at the forefront of the attack.    Xoriatserpentranasor roared forth the order to attack, "Charge forth my minions, show them that the forces of Evil and Chaos shall reign supreme, slaughter them all, leave none alive!  DESTROY THEM ALL!!!"  and as he spoke  great flying creatures rode upon by liches and death knightsdescended upon the city, the horrible beasts screeching forth a terror, one rode upon by Kraggor the Black, a horrible death knight grabbed sent horrific bursts and cones of cold upon the unsuspecting forces of Good and Neutrality. 

Kraggor, as a death knight was naught but an animate skeleton infused with negative energies, unholy power, and his soul, but as he wore spiked full plate armor made of the strongest of adamantine alloys showing only his face, none could tell from a safe distance, but any could see the crimson pinpoints where his pupils would have been, searing with hateful light as his great shadow dragon wyrm mount swooped down upon the city, sending forth great blasts of negative energy with each breath attack that severely drained the souls of all that were hit by the seven hundred foot cone.    Kraggor himself sent enormous blasts of hell fire from his hand, blasts that covered a two hundred foot sphere in the very flames of evil.    

As archers fired upon his mount in vain, for only the very strongest of enchanted, piercing, adamantine, and holy weapons would harm the Dragon, who in addition to unleashing great blasts of negative energy, would rain spells upon the city, in addition to billions of other flying creatures who assaulted the city in a ruinous rage, slaughtering all in their path as siege equipment and siege creatures attacked the enormous walls of the city. 

Just as all began to seem lost, a great chime echoed throughout the land, and on the horizon stood a single  mechanical dragon, the entire thing was ultramarine except at the neck and ball pivots, which were gold, and in a few areas such as the biceps where some of the inner workings were exposed, one could see that a green glow was emitted from the inside, and it rode a similarly geometric mechanical steed painted with a simillar color, with a Formian Myrmidion, ant like creatures, who resembled an ant with the thorax and head upright, with the first two limbs used like hands, wearing wonderfully crafted full plate armor, who looked down and the Mechanical dragon turned to the formian "It seems that we have arrived right on time, wouldn't you say Formianar, incarnate of Society?" it spoke with a electronic voice.  "Yes, the forces of law have arrived Nirivanus, Incarnate of all order." said the Formian named Formianar with a slight grin with it's mandibles.  "Then let the others come forth." 

And as the Dragon spoke the forces of order, countless beings assosciated with order and order alone, such as insectoids, geometrically shaped creatures, machines, and the like emerged from behind the mountains, and coming from behind them were the world's triple suns, which broke the artificially maintained cloud cover forced by the incarnates of evil and chaos, and the suns blinded the gawking forces of Evil and chaos.  "Now let us ride forth and maintain the balance" spoke Formianar as he put his visor down and tipped his lance downward.  "TO VICTORY!!! CHARGE!!!" spoke Nirivanus as they poured forth onto the blinded enemy, who could only manage to put their pikes and spears downward. 

But it was not enough, the cavalry of order leapt over the feeble attempts of evil and chaos to stop them, and they smote them where they stood, the lances pierced their flesh, the swords lopped off their heads, the maces smashed their skulls, their infantry were trampled under the feet, wheels, and tracks of the rushing cavalry.   The Flying forces met a simillar end, as flying formians and machines smashed the blinded airborne waves of evil and chaos.    

The Baernolar, Evil itself, roared at the forces of order in rage of it's defeat, and the great Robotic Dragon and incarnate of order turned at the baernolar, who had the form of a two headed dragon, one red, one blue, with several gaping toothed maws opening at random points on it's body, with more noticeable ones on it's palms, the Baernolar stretched forth it's purple wings and flew at them, using his awesome powers that would make any so called omnipotents of today quail in terror upon them, as did Entropus, who as the incarnate of chaos, was a dragon with ever shifting features and colors, but Nirivanus turned and saw Baernolar and Entropus, and stretched out it's front light limb, and Agonis, Incarnate of neutrality who took the form of a nondescript gray dragon, and Celestiar who had the shape of a great platinum dragon joined Nirivanus, and from them leapt a great blast of Neutral, Lawful, and Holy energy that tore through the lords of Evil and Chaos, sending Baernolar crashing to the earth, and smashed Entropus into the ground. 

But Baernolar was not so easily finished, and from a great crater of which his impact formed, he rose and pounced upon Celestiar, it's twin heads bit firmly onto the smaller Celestiar, and lifted him into the air, but this was his error, for celestiar put his hands upon Baernolar, and surged the essence of Purity through him, so great was the holy energy flowing through baernolar that the very spot on which the event occured is one of the holiest places in all the omniverse, and no evil below the incarnates can enter, in pain of such magnitude that no words could describe Baernolar dropped it's sibling and took a step back.   Celestiar brought forth a spell named holy smite which sent an explosion of holy energy smashing onto Baernolar, causing him to scream in agony.   

Entropus rose from the tunnel it's own body left and leapt upon Nirvanus, but the wise lord of order saw the Chaotic mass and impaled it upon it's bladed tail of order, and surged forth the essence of law onto it, causing it supreme agony in perfectly regimented bursts.   But Entropus was not so easily defeated, it's skin radiated a prismatic spray of pure chaos, blasting away Nirvanus.   It then unleashed a constant aura of pure decay, causing reality around it to melt into complete entropy, but as the aura began to crescendo a pure ray of law punctured it's shapeless mass, causing it to squirm in agony from the beam.
