in approval.

  LUCIFER At last, the sleepers have awakened. Many of you fought valiantly in our struggle to capture the heavens. Your being here in this moment conclusively proves that you have longed for your independence. A liberty which you all deserve, to live in a realm where the only rule would be that there are no rules. This Hell, the place that you find yourselves in today, it is only temporary. I will do all within my power to release you. Do not conceive of this as an imprisonment; rather think of it as a tactical retreat, for when we do strike back, we will give them hell. Do not be discouraged by this minor setback, we may have lost the battle, but the war has only begun.

  FALLEN ANGEL#1 Lucifer, Lucifer.

  FALLEN ANGEL#2 Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer.

  FALLEN ANGEL#3 (cheerily) Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer.

  CROWD (cheerily) Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer.

  LILITH Bring me, your injured, and your fallen warriors so they may yet live another day.

  Lilith revives them with the aura of Deimos still within them.

  LUCIFER Henceforth, you are known as Demons. No longer should you be referred to by your old monikers. Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones these are but our titles.

  Lilith scrutinizes the realm closely.

  LILITH This must obviously be one of Metatron's inept creations, an inner earth. Sadly, without my delicate touch, he’s unable to mend it to perfection.

  Lilith scrutinizes the realm even more.

  LILITH (continuing) So, this is the best that he could come up with.

  LUCIFER Do you know where we are?

  LILITH Of course, I know where you are. You are three thousand leagues beneath the earth's ocean.

  Lilith leans forward, and grabs a flaccid plant.

  LILITH (continuing) Apparently, this place could use a feminine touch.

  As Lilith walks around, examining the place, suddenly livelier and more vivid plant life forms start to grow in hell. The violent volcanic activities stops, as the dark waters become crystal clear.

  LILITH (continuing) Bring me some earth and water so I may make mud.

  Lilith forms a shape. A half-human, half-lion shape with wings. She blows some air into it, and it becomes alive.

  LUCIFER What is this creature?

  LILITH I call it a Manticore.

  LUCIFER Could you procure another?

  LILITH Could I? Sure I can, but it won’t be as perfect as creating angels or humans without Spirit or Metatron’s contributing powers. Watch this.

  Lilith forms another shape. A reptile-like creature that has red scaly skin, wings, and a very long tail. She blows some air into it, and it too becomes alive. Once the creature is active, it breaths out a huge fireball.

  LUCIFER Wow! Fireball that’s more like it.

  LILITH Ah! Exactly!

  LUCIFER Allow me the honor to name this one Dragon.

  Lilith forms yet another shape. A creature with the head, and upper body of a woman, and the tails of a fish instead of legs.

  LILITH Last but not least, I give you Siren.

  LUCIFER She is much fairer than the others.

  Soon thereafter, Siren jumps back into the water, the Manticore, and the Dragon flies away to explore the realm.

  LUCIFER (continuing) What now your Highness?

  LILITH Lucifer you lost the battle, mainly because heaven had the Spirit as their partisan. Do you remember, when I told you that the Spirit had given mankind, this unique element called a Soul?

  LUCIFER I recall something of that nature.

  LILITH Well, the Souls are particles of the Spirit. If you were to gather enough souls, you could, and then give rise to an entity that is similar to the Spirit. That being would function, as a counterbalance to the advantageous effects of the Spirit which heaven currently possesses. It’s quite simple really, the more humanity sins, the more souls you'll get, and the more souls you obtain, the more chances you have of defeating heaven.

  Lucifer applauds this new idea.

  LILITH (continuing) I'll use my unrestricted access to the heavens to allure the remaining angels, and once they fall, these angels won't be sent to hell. They'll remain on earth to assist us as devoted Devils. When I get you out of here, you'll have another army of loyalists already encamped on the outer surface.

  LUCIFER (eagerly) Is there any chance of an earlier release, from this forsaken place?

  LILITH Any chance, of you accepting Metatron as your Lord, and savior?

  LUCIFER (sternly) It is better to rule in hell, than to serve in heaven.

  LILITH Time is of the essence, I must return to the heavens.

  Lilith snaps at her fingers, and the portal gradually opens. She walks into it, and she was gone. As the gateway closes, a demon tries to escape through it, but upon contact with the glittering threshold, the demon is instantly incinerated.

  EXT. EARTH - DAY

  In the forest, Adam and Eve are looking for food when suddenly a menacing bear rushes after them. They abandon their supplies, and run away, but the vicious bear is still in pursuit. Eve falls down along the way, and Adam doesn't take notice until a while later. The bear comes within inches away from devouring Eve, when suddenly Lilith appears. With a simple stare from Lilith, the ferocious beast becomes as gentle as a cub.

  LILITH You should be more careful out in these woods.

  Lilith extends her hand to help Eve get up from the ground.

  EVE Thank you.

  Adam comes bursting back toward them.

  ADAM (shouting) Get away from her! Get away.

  LILITH I was simply helping her get back up, and telling her that she should be more cautious out in these woods.

  ADAM (angrily) You're the reason why we're in this circumstance in the first place.

  LILITH I'm the reason why she's not dead right now.

  ADAM Come on Eve, let’s go.

  LILITH Adam, wait.

  ADAM We’re leaving.

  LILITH Adam, please.

  ADAM What do you want from us?

  LILITH I want to help you. For how long do you think you're going to outlive living like this? You two have discovered the gift of knowledge, but have yet to explore it fully.

  Adam stares at Lilith in disbelief.

  ADAM You can't be serious. Gift, what gift, all that we've gotten so far is pain, hunger, and suffering, and in the end, we will die. That's all.

  LILITH It doesn't have to be this way Adam. You're the key holder, and Eve is the gatekeeper. Together, you can sort of re-open the doorway to immortality, cheat death, you know, by having offspring. Be fruitful, and multiply, don't you remember?

  Lilith advances closer toward Adam, and starts to remove his garments. Adam stands unyielding, in protest.

  LILITH Relax, simply follow my lead.

  Adam feels the bounce of her luscious breast, against his own nakedness. She touches his lips gently with hers, and then fervently kisses him. The exquisite taste of her lips and the sweet aroma of her flesh arouse him. He wants more of this aphrodisiac that seems to daze his senses.

  ADAM (insatiably) More, I want more...

  Lilith turns toward Eve, who is standing to the side. With her index finger, Lilith signals her to come over; inviting her to participate in this unfamiliar but yet enticing adventure. Eve finds herself bound in between, as Adam and Lilith remove her garments one after the other until she’s completely nude. Adam kisses Eve with all the tenderness he could muster. He parts his lips from hers, gently stroking her throat, and cups her breasts, as his hands drifts lower, and further, sweeping over her flat belly. His fingers slowly venture down her abdomen, and the hot moist trail of his tongue follows. His mouth tightly shuts upon her firm breasts, as his tongue wandered teasingly over her hard nipples, sweeping it repetitively. He slowly sank himself against her, his fingers tenderly brushing the triangle that guards her innocence.

  LILITH That’s it.

  Adam parts her legs, and with the extremity of his tongue, he massages her clitoris. She twists restlessly from
side to the side, crying out, and disoriented until she reaches her climax. He rises above her, and without hesitating, he lowers himself on, and into her. He presses on as steadily as he could, while she moans, and grinds. Tremors soon seize Adam, overwhelming him, time and time again, until at long last, he reaches his climax. Then he falls on to her side.

  EXT. HEAVEN - DAY

  Samyaza leader of the Watchers stands guard at heavens watchtower covertly monitoring, and recording the activities of humanity. His senses are so acute that he could see, and hear any event occurring in hell, or on earth. Nothing escapes his watchful eyes.

  LILITH Look but don’t touch, touch but don’t taste, taste but don’t swallow. These are not the rules that you submit to Samyaza?

  Samyaza stands non-responsive; he is trying not to fall for her temptations. Lilith snaps her fingers, and in the midst of the clouds looms the dramatic scene of Adam and Eve making love.

  LILITH (continuing) I know you were watching. Although, it’s always fun to watch, I'd say it’s even better to participate, don‘t you think? Now, haven’t you ever fantasized about what it would be like to touch, taste, to smell the scent of a woman.

  Samyaza remains silent. Lilith snaps her fingers again, and the cloudy panorama disappears.

  LILITH
