War of the Holies

by Artemio Saguinsin

  “ I know there are living creatures in this planet. We will find them.” Satan said.

  While they were set to deploy themselves for a search they heard sounds of earth movements somewhere. They were alerted and curiosity kept them silent to see where the sounds were coming.

  “ Living creatures? They don’t look like human beings .” Bajal said.

  “ Yes. They are living creatures . They call it alien creatures.” Satan said.

  “ They have more advance technology than the humans had on earth. Their flying vehicles are far more distinct than the earthlings before.” The Prison Master insinuated.

  “ Yes, they existed billions of years before the earth was

  They have been going to and fro the Galaxy millions of years.” Satan said.

  “ What shall we do with them Master?” Bajal asked.

  “ We will get along with them and see what we can do for them.” Satan replied.

  “ Do you think they would see us since we are spirit beings?” Bajal asked.

  “ Yes. They have advanced perception and optical superiority.” Satan said.

  They went through the inhabited premises of the alien creatures and the sight of the highly-advanced civilization underneath amazed them. They were halted by what looked like the security personnel that were apparently armed with advanced weapons .They spoke to them in their language which they understood.

  “Where are you from?” asked one of the alien security staffs.

  “ We come from a distant galaxy and we have come to settle in this planet.” Satan said.

  “ You are too many. You are a different creature. You have no place in this planet.” An alien said.

  “ No. We will inhabit this place.” Satan continued.

  “ This is our planet and you can’t dwell here or else we will fire.” An alien warned.

  “ You can’t do that to us. We are immortals!” he exclaimed.

  The security alarmed the other security that promptly arrived at the place fully equipped with their weapons. They began firing at them, but Satan and his cohorts since immortal spirits were not even harmed and they were only shaken and bounced from their position when loud blast struck them.

  However, Satan and his cohorts had the power to hold physical objects that they were able to overpowered the galactic beings. Some of them perished in their struggle when their weapons were used against them. The beleaguered and stunned galactic settlers escaped for their safety.

  Satan and his followers were able to seize the settlement of the galactic beings and totally drove them out. The galactic beings that looked like shaken abandoned their settlement and went to find their own escape to their authority.

  “ This will be our realm and I will be your Master and to all the inhabitants thereof.” Satan pronounced.

  And Satan and his cohorts established their realm in the settlement abandoned by the galactic beings. On the other side of the planet was the central authority of expelled settlers. In their language, the incident was conveyed to the alerted authorities.

  “ Alien creatures invaded us. They are invincible and immortals. Our weapons that are highly-advanced in the entire galaxy for generations did not work for them.” One of the survivors exclaimed.

  “ What do they look like?” asked Oryx-Z, the Supreme Commander asked.

  “ They are in the substance form but the shape of humans from the dead earth. They could hold objects but light beams pass through them. “ the survivor explained.

  “ Prepare for war ! We are in danger !” the commander exclaimed.

  Oryx-Z ordered a battalion of warriors to proceed to Satan’s established realm. Using their armed-space craft the defenders promptly flew to the place and in few seconds they surrounded Satan’s place.

  “ They have returned, Master. In full battle-gear.” Bajal said.

  “ Check who’s their superior.” Satan ordered.

  Bajal and the Prison Master flew out of the realm to observe the warriors.

  “ The two of them are coming out ! Get ready !.” Kryp-1, the commander of the battalion warned.

  As the two approached their space craft, the galactic warriors began firing at them. But in their dismay and frustration the powerful light beams only passed through them and hit the rocky surface of the planet that blasted them. Kryp-1 ceased firing.

  “ Any hostile attempt to harm us is futile. We have not come to retaliate nor harm you. We are here to find settlement.” Bajal explained.

  “What do you want from us. This is our planet and you can’t stay here.” Kryp-1 said.

  “ Who is the superior commander here?” asked the Prison Master.

  “ I am the commander.” Kryp-1 replied.

  “ We would like to talk to you and your superiors for a peaceful settlement.” the Prison Master said.

  “ We will tell our Supreme Commander your demand.” Kryp-1 replied.

  They returned to the central command headquarters and informed Oryx-Z of the demand.

  “ It’s useless to fight those creatures Commander. They want to negotiate for settlement.” Kryp-1 said.

  “ How powerful are they?” Oryx-Z asked.

  “ They are really invincible. They are immortals.” Kryp-1 replied.

  “ Our civilization and technology have been existing before the dead earth and other planets in the galaxy existed. Our technology is far more advanced than any existing ones in the entire galaxies. Why did you not use them?” Oryx-Z insinuated.

  “ How do you assess their weapons? “ he added.

  “ They have no weapons . Our struggle will only be futile. You can see them for yourself. We will only suffer if they use our weapons against us.” Kryp-1 continued.

  Oryx-Z viewed the incidents that took place on the screen and proved to himself what he saw.

  “ They look like creatures without physical body. They are called on earth spirit beings. Yes, they are really invincible and immortal. ” Oryx-Z said.

  “ Commander, their Master called Satan is waiting for you for a talk.” Kryp-1 said.

  “ Let me think first.” Oryx-Z replied.

  “ If we fail to meet their demand they will, for sure, a big threat for our civilization.” Kryp-1 added.

  “ Okay, I will talk to him for the sake of our civilization.” Oryx-Z said.

  After a few minutes, together with his adjutants and high ranking officials of the planet they proceeded to Satan’s realm.

  “ We are amazed by the advanced technology and civilization that you have established in this planet, Commander Oryx-Z.” Satan said.

  “ Why do you want to settle in our planet while there are lots of planets out there to conquer and inhabit? Ours is the tiniest planet in this galaxy.” Oryx-Z asked.

  “ We are fascinated by the dazzling beauty although tiny, it is attractive and suitable for habitation.” Satan added.

  “ From what planet did you come from?” Oryx-Z asked.

  “ Dead planet earth.” Satan replied.

  “ How do you call your planet and yourselves? “ Satan asked.

  “ Kryptor. The inhabitants are called Kryptorion. This is a known planet in the galaxy.” Oryx-Z replied.

  “ You survived the annihilation?” Oryx-Z asked.

  “ Yes. Obvious?” Satan added.

  “ How did you do that?” Oryx-Z continued.

  “ We are spirit beings and immortals. Now you know about us. I would suggest that we live together in harmony in this planet. “ Satan said.

  “ If not?” Oryx-Z asked.

  “ War is inevitable and destruction will come upon this planet like what happened to earth. We will seize the entire planet for us. That is a fair deal. Give us a chance and we will live peacefully.” Satan insinuated.

  Oryx-Z looked confused and worried. Momentarily, he conceded to Satan’s demand.

  “ To live like settlers in this planet and feel confident and comfortable with one another, we would be happy and comforta
ble to be transformed to a physical body like you.” Satan asked

  “ What ? But how would you do that? ” Oryx-Z exclaimed.

  “ We can simply enter into the body of your dead ones.” Satan asked.

  “ That’s impossible and risky for our security. How can we identify you by then ? It will create confusion to our society and the entire civilization might be terrified if they see their long dead or newly-expired loved ones are back to life ” Oryx-Z complained.

  “ What is more confusing, to get along with the settlers in this kind of image or in your likeness?” Satan asked.

  “ But how can we avoid social confusion and terror?” Oryx-Z asked.

  “ You have the technology. Why not apply them to modify the appearance to be more credible and confident?” Satan insinuated.

  “ Let me check about it.” Oryx-Z

  When the negotiation was completed, Satan and his cohorts were accompanied to the morgue of the settlers.

  “ Pick your choice among the dead ones and check if it fits your desire.” the Morgue chief said.

  “ That would be fine to fit first before we proceed to the laboratory for modification.” The Prison Master sighed.

  “ Master, I was impressed and I never thought you were able to think about this kind of strategy.” Bajal said.

  “ This will mislead the angelic seekers from capturing us. It would be safer to be like the inhabitants of this planet than remain as is. We would easily get identified by them and seize us.” Satan explained.

  “ Lucianus, my servant, pick your choice that fits your taste.” Satan said.

  “ Yes, Master. I am still looking at the right one. Some of them are already damaged.” Lucianus said.

  “ As much as possible take the freshly-expired ones. They do not have damage.” Bajal said.

  While they fit their bodies, they all passed through the modifying process in the laboratory for proper retouching and improving their physical appearances. Each one had his mark in the forehead for proper and quick identification visible to them alone and the key people in the administration.

  “ We will begin our activity in this civilization with dissimulation and incognito. I will remain in my realm while all of you will deploy to mingle with them. You will do the things they do as you learn many things from them and later on we will gradually influence them with our advocacy.” Satan said.

  “ Master, how many settlers are there in this planet?” Bajal asked.

  “ You got an astute question, servant. There are more or less six million settlers that are scattered in different locations in this tiny planet.” Satan replied.

  “ How did you know that Master?” Lucianus asked.

  “ Did you doubt my power, servant?” Satan asked.

  “ No. Master, I was just impressed and stunned by your intelligence.” Lucianus replied.

  “ In fairness with you, when we got into the laboratory, I found a computer terminal and tried to peek at the statistical data of the population.” Satan said.

  “ You’re great and smart, Master.” Lucianus said.

  “ Try to use whatever technical gadgets and communications available from their means. Now, go and keep in touch with me.” Satan said.

  Each one of them deployed and had each own path to execute their motives. Bajal went to see the military headquarters and meet the high ranking officers for military exposure particularly their weapons that were capable of destroying a planet and their advanced space craft with an incredible speed.

  Lucianus trod his way beneath the modern city to check the archives and antiquity of the Kryptorion civilization.

  Meantime, Bajal had been talking with the Kryp-1 about the military warfare of their planet.

  “ We were often attacked by cosmic enemies from other stars in the galaxy before but we were able to survive and as we struggled we were able to drive them away.” Kryp-1 said.

  “ Are there any more enemies that will attack at any moment in time?” Bajal asked.

  “ It’s unpredictable, but by means of our super galactic radar that detect any approaching enemy at a great distance in the outer space, we are able to prepare and repel them.” Kryp-1 explained.

  “ Your saucers are incredible.” Bajal said.

  “ Yes, they are highly-advanced and could travel at a great distance in the universe and to any visible stars in the galaxy. “ Kryp-1 said.

  “ Did you visit the planet earth before?” Bajal asked.

  “ Exactly, yes. We frequented earth and we had established a city beneath the ocean beds but abandoned it when we detected a great risk of explosion below and above brought by natural causes.” Kryp-1 added.

  Meantime, Lucianus had been able to access into the museum of archives and antiquity of the planet.

  “ I am an alien visitor in this planet. I am moving using the dead body of your fellow man.” Lucianus explained.

  “ I know because you have the laser mark in your forehead. We had been informed about your transformation and acceptance in this planet. We have known you thru our system monitor.” The female custodian replied.

  “ My name is Lucianus in our planet of origin. How shall I call you? “ Lucianus asked.

  “ Hylex1010. What happened to your planet earth?” she asked.

  “ It has been destroyed and disappeared in the space.” He replied.

  “ Destroyed by your enemy in the outer space?” she asked.

  “ No. It was a long story but it was brought by natural causes and the flares from the sun.” he replied.

  “ How long is your civilization now?” Lucianus asked.

  “ We have been existing for a billion years and we are the present generation of our clan.” the female custodian replied.

  “ Are you distinct from any other creatures in this planet?” he asked.

  “ We are the sole race ever since our civilization existed and no other races exist in this planet.” The custodian replied.

  “ That’s why it’s obvious that all your features here are almost similar. I notice that the female is distinct from male in that the male has pointed ears while female has rounded ears.” He explained.

  “ You’re exactly correct.” She replied.

  “What is the life span of inhabitants in this planet?” he asked.

  “ We count our life based on the cycle of the planet around the galaxy. Our planet revolves around the center of the galaxy of big stars. It takes a hundred light years to finish the cycle and after that we see the transformation of our body into a weak and old appearance and finally we die.” She replied.

  “ How do you survive here? I don’t see any vegetation nor water but purely mountainous rocks?” he asked.

  “ Rocky mountains are our source of everything. As you can see, we all live beneath the rocky mountains and we have established our civilization under them. We take tablets us our food. Our body does not have water but green substance coming from the tablet we take. It takes time before we replenish them again. Our body system is remotely different from the body of humans of earth.” She explained.

  “ There is no day and night in your planet?” Lucianus added.

  “ None. The stars and the moons keep shining our planet. We don’t sleep as what the earthlings do. Our system is designed to keep moving all the rest of our lives.” She replied.

  “ Have you been visited by other creatures out there?” Lucianus asked.

  “ Yes. Our enemies attack us by surprise They are fierce and savage enemy. They want to seize our planet because they need the mineral resources that will keep them alive. Their planet is deficient with our precious rocks that they need in order to survive.” She said.

  “ Are they advanced that your civilization?” He continued.

  “ Yes. But their technology is not so far from us. They are more destructive because of their numbers.” She added.

  “ But how do you multiply? Do you have family and children?” he asked.

  “ M
ale and female here who like each other to be partners bear children. If we want to have children we both lay in the production tube or capsule and the process goes there. On the separate tube, we find our young one getting formed.” She explained.

  “ How about in your civilization before? How is the process ?” she asked.

  “ On earth before, male and female fall in love with each other before they get together.” He said.

  “ What is meant by fall in love ?” she asked.

  “ It is the feeling that both male and female feel that they like each other to live with for life.” Lucianus explained.

  “ In our planet we also have feelings but we’re not oriented in intimacy for life because our principle that we live for is to multiply so that there will be more to defend our race and civilization. After one male that produced for us, it will take a quarter of light years before we get to find another mate that will produce for us again.” She explained.

  “ How do you feel you like a male as your partner?” he continued.

  “ We talk to each other and tell that he is still young to copulate and want you as your surrogate for young ones. Then, if a female wants him and agrees to procreate, then the process goes on. ” She replied.

  “ After you have copulated with each other what happens next?” Lucianus asked.

  “ The male partner will stay behind for sometime while they both want each other to procreate but if one doesn’t want to continue, then they parted ways.” She replied.

  “ You have the feeling of love, but how about hatred or anger ?”Lucianus added.

  “ What is hatred or anger ?” she asked.

  “ The feeling that comes within you that you dislike or you want to hurt others physically.” He explained.

  “ Yes, we hate our enemies and we like to terminate them. That’s exactly the feeling that we feel or the feeling that comes out within.” She replied.

  The intimate conversation was terminated when the red signal from Lucianus accessory blinked in the same way that the red signal blinked from the accessory of Hylex1010.
