“The Erasure”

“The Erasure”

Genesis 1:1 “In the Beginning”

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

So God created mankind in his own image,

in the image of God he created them;

male and female he created them.

But they were still filled with sin.

He needed to cleanse this sin.”

It was only a mundane morning on the world of earth, a world full of sin and lies where everyone was normal. Everyone was full of sin, full of lies and hatred and most of all, uncleansed. A mundane Sunday where pastors were reading from the bible, many praying as they pray to be forgiven for even existing. They will see their savior soon enough. As the streets of Tokyo were busy with people of many kind, children, teenagers, parents and adults like young or old were not cleansed of sin, not yet at least. Suddenly, a ring of light struck down throughout what people claimed to be the heavens as people were confused, they didn’t see their god just yet at least. Archangel Michael flew above the people in the sky, his appearance confused people, scared many at best. He was only rings with an eyeball for a body, with many more eyeballs covering his body along with wings on the eyes back. Some people screamed and looked up at him, demons they were. “Do not be afraid” he said, his words were comforting for the ears of the believers, the true children of God as others were still afraid of him. ‘The people who fear me must be demons in disguise’ Archangel Micheal thought as God told him they were secretly demons, trying to taint his children. No, they were trying to taint Gods Children. As the Archangel sees over the city of Tokyo, people took pictures of him and even start to record as he doesn’t mind, the world has to see his selection. Remembering Gods words as God said ‘Pick whoever you know will spread the word of my name throughout the land as your Champion my child.’ taking Gods words by heart he scans the area and thinks, he thinks of who he can choose for his Champion. Someone who will both spread the name of the holy lord as well as be Gods sword, finally he picks as he wasn’t going to go to them just yet, not until he spreads the word of “The Cleanse”.

As Michael picks his Champion, ten people go on screen on skyscrapers as they all seem to be news reporters, with one of them saying “This is Shiroi Sakura coming from Channel 7News live here today as we have seen what looks to be a giant floating eyeball with rings around it as well as eyes on the rings, as well as what seems to be with six wings. Quick studies have shown here that angels typically have two wings but angels of higher power have more than one. Is this really an angel? Well it certainly doesn’t look like a regular one to me, maybe Kiyoshi can answer this question” The news reporter says as the male reporter starts to speak “Well Ms. Shiroi, it seems that in The Bible the angels are much different than many kinds of art, looks like we’ve been lied too” The reporter jokingly says as he goes back to a more informative voice “But it seems like the highest of all angels, Seraphim’s have this form so maybe this is the highest form of angel from this ‘God’?” the reporter jokes again as he looks at the angel and says “Who exactly are you? Are you truly an angel or are you actually an alien from another planet who took the form of some of gods highest angels?” The man looks at Micheal curiously as suddenly, as if they can all hear each other everyone on the screen looks at him, wondering who exactly he is as they finally hear the archangel speak his first words after thousands of years from being away from the human world. “I am Archangel Michael, a messenger from God but you may know me as ‘Gods Sword’” everyone looked amazed, even Mr. Kiyoshi, who first questioned him and seemed to make fun of him was a bit speechless after hearing those first words. “W…why are you here exactly? What do you want from us?” Mr. Kiyoshi questioned as he was astonished at that there was a real angel here. Suddenly, the eyeball opened with an angelic man coming out from the eyeball, as he had short blonde hair, bright baby blue eye, and lips that had a pink hue due to it. He looked like a real angel, an angel that The Bible described which looked to be in perfect detail. He dressed like a warrior, no an officer from the Byzantine Empire as he looked almost…disappointed with everyone. He utters his second words, no first real words to the humans since it had been so long. “Do not be afraid, I am Archangel Michael, I am Gods Sword and Shield, a protector to Gods followers. I am here to tell you all, even these sinners who walk this earth that you shall all be cleansed soon. Free of all sin and be able to be allowed to enter the Holy Kingdom of God. As your Lord and Savior intended.” He says as people start to get calm, as well as others discussing with their family members, peers, or even random strangers who are close by to them. They will soon see God, and God will welcome them in open arms, as they are all his children. The Cleanse was nigh.

As Archangel Michael spoke, people were confused as most didn’t think God would cleanse all sinners himself, some were terrified as they thought they were going to die, and some who were believers of God were joyful as they could finally be with their Lord and Savior. “God has made me, eleven other Archangels, and his six Seraphim’s to pick the person to become our ‘champion’ a becon of light who will uphold Gods order and spread the name of our Holy Lord.” as Michael uttered those worlds, many people started to try and convince him to be their champion, some prayed, some yelled out for Michael while others even resorted to violence to get the archangels attention so they could be picked, it was simply chaos. Michael however was stumped, he wanted to pick the holiest out of Japan but didn’t know who, as those who were did not believe in God but most believed in Buddha. ‘They aren’t worthy of being my champion anyway’ Michael said, trying to calm himself as he sighed and picked someone, the one who he thought was the holiest out of them all. “You” the archangel said as he pointed to a middle aged man who was trying to get to work “You are chosen to be my champion, what is thy name?” Michael asked as people were envious of the man, chosen by an archangel himself instead of them. The man sheepishly says “Juurou Ayumu…” the archangel felt bad for the man, he was scared out of his mind but he was a true believer of god, even if nobody knew. A sword then appears in the archangels hand as he flies to the man, his wings shining with light as people look in pure awe. He reaches the man as he touches the ground and holds up his sword to him saying “I have chosen you as God has chosen me Juurou Ayumu, I am your sword and shield, your protector from evil as well as sinners.” He then bows down to him and holds his sword for him to pick up. “I am archangel Michael. You are Gods child, will you take that role and help me cleanse this land filled with sin?” He asks as he keeps his head down. The man looks nervous but picks up the sword as he feels almost confident but relieved as he says in a monotone voice “I will carry out Gods plan and cleanse the sinners of the world.”

*“Father, are you sure about this?” Jesus looks concerned as he looks at his father who was dead set on this ‘cleanse’ “I am perfectly sure of this my son.” God says, a shining orb of light that Jesus was used too as he’s seen him for his entire life since he died and was reborn. “What about Satan and Lucifer? Do you think they’ll be angry once…” Jesus stops himself as he’s unsure on what to say next. “Once ‘The Cleanse’ arrives?” Jesus whispered ‘The Cleanse’ as he was still unsure about this new saying. “My son, I am sure they will understand and besides, I’m planning something big for our believers, we will make my perfect kingdom.” But before he could say what it was, a few angels bursted in the room as they looked injured, one of the angels wings was on fire as one said ”My Lord! Lucifer and the princes of hell have broken into heaven! They’re killing everyone and have even killed many of our guards! What’s happening?!” the angel says in pure panic as Jesus and God hear a voice, the voice of Lucifer “God, if you don’t come out of your castle I will kill every single angel in heaven with my bear hands!” Jesus looked terrified as Lucifer sounded angrier than ever had before, Jesus comes out as he carries God as the white orb doesn’t move, he seemingly knows what he’s doing as they finally come out of the Holy Castle and into heaven as the clouds seem weak. Lucifer is at the entrance, his long light blonde hair rises along with his light blue eyes fuming with anger as he looks anything from happy as he tries to calm down but can’t and says “God! What do you think you’re doing?! First you banished me, Second you killed my wife Lilith, and now you’re trying to cleanse the earth of sin?! I thought we had an agreement!” He says as God simply says “And I have sadly broken it as I have a better plan for humanity Lucifer, and that involves getting rid of all sin.” Lucifer almost stabbed god with his blade when Jesus stopped him saying “Do not start this Lucifer. Not in Gods Holy Kingdom, you’ve done enough damage as it is.” He says coldly, he obviously didn’t like Lucifer at all as he says “Settle this peacefully or I will intervene.” Lucifer looks enraged but manages to calm down as he says coldly “Look what you’ve done now, are you happy with yourself, God?” he says with a snarky voice as God simply says “Yes, very happy.” but this made Lucifer all the more angry as Jesus had to intervene again and say “Father, why exactly are you ridding the world of sin in the first place?” Jesus asked, curious as to why his father would do such a thing “You see my son, the world needs to be cleansed of sin in order for our Holy Kingdom to form, a perfect kingdom in which everyone will follow my order.” God says calmly as Lucifer raises his blade again and says “I will not let this happen God, it happened once and I stopped you before, I won’t hesitate to stop you again.” he says as the pure white orb which was God looks at him and says “Come at me then, Lucifer.”*

*As both gods fought, even though they were both powerful people, it was clear Lucifer was no match for the likes of God as he easily defeated him with Lucifer being speechless. ‘It must be his influence making him more powerful’ Lucifer thought as he tried to stand up but was commanded by God to kneel as Jesus held God in his hands, the orb looks at Lucifer as he coldly says “The plan will not fail. There is nothing you can do about it but watch as I rid all humans from sin and bring my children into the New Holy Kingdom where all sinners even you demons will be reborn as worshippers and my children. Maybe even…you can be my most beloved angel again Lucifer.” God said as Lucifer was fuming but couldn’t say anything due to Gods word as he was then taken to an observatory of the world, where he is destined to watch humanity be cleansed and there was nothing he could do about it. “Now watch Lucifer as I cleanse Earth of all sin as my subjects have finished the selection process of picking their champions.” God said as a beam of light comes out of the pure white orb, slowly engulfing other the planets until earth was left, as earth was so tiny compared to how big the light was. “No…I won’t let this happen”* Lucifer said as he charges up something, it wasn’t to attack God but it was to protect Earth as darkness engulfed Earth with light engulfing it as well, Jesus looked shocked as Lucifer felt God wasn’t even surprised with this action. “It is useless to reason with you Lucifer. Until we meet again.” God says as Lucifer passes out, he felt happy to know that at least he put a stop to this…
