Their aid will prove most timely, I am sure. And speak of the Devil...err, Devil's underling, Belial decided to crash the party as well. You take Baal, I will take Belial.
Belial: Fools! Just because you have destroyed Mammon does not mean you have won! You were lucky in defeating him, but your luck will soon run dry. None of you will set one foot on the Ninth Level! A thousand Pletherian warriors will not save you now.
HDS: It is fortunate that you are not a prophet, for your predictions are quite false. The time has come to remove you from the cosmos.
*In an instant, battle is joined. HDS calls forth another cold wave, but the demon's hellfire is too strong to be doused. Belial calls forth a storm of fireballs which impact against HDS's cloak, pushing him backwards but doing no damage.*
Belial: RAAAAAAAAGH! Die, worm, die!
*Belial produces a massive hammer and slams it down on HDS. Conjuring a shield of pure darkness, HDS blocks the strike, shattering the hammer. HDS chants in a toungue not spoken for a million years and summons a swarm of dark birds. The birds circle above Belial and kamakaze dive into him. The demon stops some, but many impact, dazing the beast.*
Belial: Dark magics? How can one on the side of light use dark magics!?
HDS: I would not be called His Divine Shadow if I did not dabble on both sides of the spectrum. Now, to unlease a power I have not used in a very long time.
*HDSc closes his eyes. Swirling lights surround him, growing brighter and more numerous with each passing moment. HDS opens his eyes and they are filled with stars.*
Belial: What is this!? I sense pure cosmic energy, like that seen at the beginning of everything. How can you produce it!?
HDS: I have lived long enough to have been alive when there still existed pure cosmic energy. I learned how to create it. Because I can control the darkest of shadows, I can combine the pure cosmic force with what existed before it. Darkness. The combination will mimic the great explosion that formed the cosmos. You cannot survive it.
*HDS floats towards Belial. The demon frantically launches fireballs and calls forth lesser demons the attack. All are destroyed before they even impact the swirling energies. HDS reaches out, the balls of light concentrating at his left hand. Dark, swirling clouds begin to appear around his right hand, concentrating themselves about it.*
HDS: Now, die.
*HDS reaches forward and pierces the demon's hide. He brings his hands around the black heart of the beast and, with one swift motion, brings them together. The swirling light and dark collide, and all the level goes white.*
Belial: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*A wave of energy, a perfect copy of the moment when the cosmos was born, spreads from the demon's black heart, tearing his body and unholy soul to shreds. The wave consumes a large number of lesser demons before suddenly reversing and plunging back to where it spread from. The light fades, and Belial is gone, not even a speck of ash left. HDS slowly floats to the earth and the stars fade from his eyes.*
HDS: The deed is done. The demon is slain. I must stabilize the area, for it has been reborn and is as it was when it was first formed. It must be synchronized with the surrounding level. I can rejoin the fight afterwards.
*HDS stands at the epicenter of the wave and begins to hum. The air, still rippling from the blast, slowly begins to calm.*
