( Many many moons ago , when the Archangel's were still in their childhood years )

The unnamed G.o.d : "Mana has many forms and shows a close bond with the laws of the universe.

However mana is a crude form of fuel , and your bodies can be taught to refine this crude fuel into something much finer and much more efficient to convert to energy .

The two best ways to refine this energy is holy mana and dark mana".

The G.o.d then proceeded to produce holy mana in one of his hands while producing dark mana in the other.

Sariel : "Ooh , ooh master , can our bodies refine both the holy mana and the dark mana and make something like holy-dark mana? "

Sariel asked innocently as he clapped both his hands together.

The unnamed G.o.d smiled , he loved kids for this very reason , their curiosity seemed refres.h.i.+ng to him.

He shook his head and said " If i combine them then they consume each other until both of them die ".

Lucifer: "So which one of them is stronger , is it the dark one or the holy one? "

The unnamed G.o.d: " it depends on how you use them. Holy mana is symbiotic to life and hence is useful for reinforcing one's body.

It can heal injuries in battle and give you an extra burst of strength. Whereas dark mana is symbiotic to death , to keep it within one's body is to kill oneself however its also lethal when used as an attack ".

Micheal : " Ha , then it's settled me and my brother's will all use the holy mana and become the strongest! "

Lucifer: " But big brother Michael i want to use the darkness mana ".

Micheal: " Lucifer baka , if your big brother tells you to choose holy mana then you choose holy mana , no questions asked ".

Raphael : " Lucifer baka , Lucifer baka "

Sariel : " Khikhikhi Khikhikhi"

***********

( A millenium later , the holy war )

Lucifer : "I don't understand why you protect that old man Micheal, together the four of us can take him down , he has ruled this universe for long enough , it's time for us to take the throne now !".

Micheal : " Your arrogance blinds you Lucifer, we don't cut the hand that feeds us , we are grateful to him and will always be loyal to him "

Lucifer: " You might be a dog Micheal wagging his tail like an obedient puppy but I'm not , i Lucifer refuse to live like a dog and will claim this world for himself, starting now! ".

Darkness mana erupted from Lucifer's body at a rapid rate , countering the holy mana reinforcement around the bodies of his brother's as they were momentarily caught off-guard and weakened.

Lucifer's wings turned from bright white to pitch black and his white eyes turned to black as well with his pupils becoming a menacing red.

PHA!

Lucifer plunged a dagger into Micheals gut and the archangel spat a mouthful of blood , dark mana rapidly destroying the internals of his body as Lucifer planned to murder him in cold blood.

However contrary to his expectations Micheal held onto his hand firmly and did not allow him to pull the dagger back out as he contained him to one position and allowed Raphael and Sariel to mounth the attacks.

Micheal said " So now you turn to darkness , i thought we decided as kids that we will walk the path of the holy mana ".

Lucifer" YOU DECIDED IT FOR ME , I ALWAYS WANTED THE DARK PATH.

BUT FRET NOT BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER WALKED IT ".

The four Archangel's battled for 3 night and 3 days and in the end Lucifer was banished from heaven after suffering many injuries at the hands of Micheal , while Raphael sealed him in the underworld using his own lifeforce.

******

( Modern day )

As Micheal taught Rudra the basics of mana reinforcement, he could not help but see a trace of his master teaching him the same moves as a kid.

They were truly happy days for the archangel as the four brothers would play and learn from their master as they slowly built up their strength to ascend towards G.o.dhood.

It had been a millennia since Micheal missed Lucifer. The devil and the archangel had too much bad blood to have fond feelings for each other , but being the bigger brother Micheals heart could not help but ache at the thought that once upon a time they were indeed close.

Eventhough his heart was a mess , he mentained full concentration in Rudra's training on the surface as he guided Rudra through the basics of unlocking his true racial potential.

' You had your chance brother , this life is not too bad afterall , but you had to revolt against master didn't you? , Ruling heaven wasn't enough , you wanted to rule all three realms and then more.

If only you weren't soo ambitious, today our family would still be together '.

( Meanwhile Karna)

Karna used his brains to the fullest as after the fight for the city of Sivanthe was over he sent elites to the bottom of the river on escavation missions as over the last 40 days he brought out nearly 1200 cannons from sunken s.h.i.+ps.

Although the s.h.i.+ps themselves became worthless , karna dismantled the usable weapons from there and after running a few simple tests with the lifestyle crew and doing little modifications he transformed them into land cannons and dragged them to the periphery of the fort of Mirzapur.

Thinking, rethinking then thinking about his plan some more , Karna finally decided that blowing the southern wall of the fort apart was the best strategic location to enter and made a solid plan of attack.

For 2 days and 2 nights the southern wall of the fort of Mirzapur faced heavy bombardment as well as constant attack from the elite generals from long range , before the firm walls of the fort finally gave into the constant damage and crumpled to reveal an opening.
