"What the fuck…" Nick Fury said as he and the President watched Layla and her sister literally kill the Devil. He knew it wasn't the actual Devil, of course, but it might as well have been! Red skin, horns, goat legs…it had all of the stereotypes down to a T!
Next to him, the President was recalling the DEFCON 2 status. The President let out a long sigh. "Of course, the Devil rises up from Hell during my Presidency! I'm sure the other party will just love to use this against me in the next election if news of this ever gets out…which it will."
Fury agreed while grimacing. Those temperature fluctuations were so extreme, he had no doubt every advanced country on the planet with satellites in space had seen something of that fight. Not to mention that a fifth of Scotland was now a hellish wasteland…
"Wait, something's happening!" The President said, and Fury looked back at the screen. A massive surge of some kind of green energy started rolling across the landscape! Everywhere it touched, the landscape returned back to how it should have been!\
Fury was stunned at what he was witnessing. That was some Deus Ex Machina shit right there! "Did they just fucking turn back time!?" He exclaimed!
…
"Did you see that, Brother? That was amazing!" The overzealous genius princess of a certain hidden kingdom exclaimed. They had been watching their hidden satellite feeds of that entire battle from start to finish.
"I saw, Shuri…" Prince T'challa said with some trepidation in his voice. He was down in his sister's lab getting his new Black Panther suit refitted when the Wakandan Satellites picked up a disturbance. At first, T'Challa assumed that a nuclear blast had finally been detonated, and the rest of the world was about to kill each other. What he wasn't expecting was for the most famous supernatural being on the planet—and her sister—to be fighting what he assumed was the Devil himself.
The battle that took place was one of titanic proportions. T'Challa once assumed the nation he would one day inherit was the most powerful force on the planet. Today, he was proven wrong. Whether it was the Fallen Angel Layla, the Devil, or the Archangel Gabriel, T'challa knew that it would have only taken a single one of those beings to completely level his beloved kingdom….
"It's too bad even our satellites couldn't pick up any audio from that fight. I would have loved to know what they were saying." Shuri lamented as she spun in her chair. "I really want to go and meet the Angel. Now more than ever! Too bad mother and father won't let me." She finished with a pout.
"It is better this way, Shuri. Wakanda has never exposed itself and father doesn't want our kingdom exposed to the outside world." T'Challa said.
Shuri shrugged. "Eh, it probably already has been. You forget brother, there are a few christians in our kingdom. Not many, but some. And the number of believers has actually been growing since the Angel exposed herself to the world. If it's true that the Angels or the Christian God can hear prayers…then they would definitely know about the true Wakanda…" Shuri elaborated. Shuri herself wondered if Wakanda's own god, Bast, was even real at this point… Generations of Black Panther's claimed she was, but then again they were all pretty doped up on the purple flower whenever they claimed to see her in the spirit world.
…
In the spiritual world connected to Wakanda, a giant Black Panther goddess was shaking in anger and fear. She was angry that she was losing followers to a pantheon that had left their world over a millenia ago–and was now back. She was afraid because that pantheon was terrifyingly strong. The panther goddess knew that had it been her fighting Belial…she would have been instantly killed by the Demon. The power that the two Angel's displayed when facing him was mind boggling towards her. What was worse was that Bast knew that accursed Pantheon had numerous other beings with just as much power!
Bast knew that a meeting of the Godheads Council was going to have to be convened soon after a public battle such as that! The other Gods on Earth were already unhappy that an Angel had returned and so carelessly outed the supernatural world to the humans en masse.
…
There was a certain Pantheon that was completely unaware of the Earth shattering battle that had recently taken place. They were too busy panicking as their Head God was currently throwing a massive tantrum. A precious item of his had been stolen and he threatened to plunge the world into war unless the thief was caught and the item was properly returned to him!
"Where is my Master Bolt!" Thunder streaked across the skies of Olympus as Zeus–the King of the Olympian Gods–raged with fury! He would have his Bolt returned to him or else the world would once again know his wrath!
