[ WP ] War breaks out between the legions of hell and heaven , humanity joins and surprisingly is winning against both

How long had it been? Three weeks? Things got weird fast and then time got weird faster. When the conflict first broke out people thought it was an alien invasion. Who would n't? The skies light up in bright white lightning and streaks of green fire splashed onto the Earth. Nations scrambled military assets and average citizens hid and waited for first responders to save them. Then the earthquakes hit. The planet opened in terrible fractures and from beneath came... things. 
 
 Smoke filled the valleys and storms swept the fields. Then the shooting. So much shooting. I'm not sure how I survived, to be honest, but I'm going to assume it had something to do with the five kids with AK47's up the street of my shack. The radio had been broadcasting under emergency frequencies, those scary tones that stop all conversations and cant heads to the side. I had heard of hyenas snagging children or pets at the edge of the village, so I knew what the growl of a beast could mean. But this sound was n't a beast. A beast is something that hunts to survive. This was the sound of a creature that lived to end life. I'd barely had time to dive under my little cot when my walls exploded and the gray skinned monster piled into my world. 
 
 The local warlords had been on a ceasefire, the UN and their blue helmets had seen that an uneasy truce would be maintained. But now... something new was consuming both factions and for a fleeting moment the villages were aligned and united against some other. I watched in stupid awe as the beast reeled back to plunge long talons into my body, paralyzed with fear, its yellow eyes gleaming with pleasure at the coming kill. Then the staccato of a Kalashnikov, and then another, and then more. The lads were charging through the hole behind the monster and laying mans ancient art of violence into its back. As if shocked by its coming demise the demon yelped and tumbled forward in a heap, it's hot body collapsing into ember dusted ash. The boys looked to me and I to them, they were from both factions of the civil war, and they were all smiling at each other and to me. 
 
 `` Come, come, there's more. You'll get yours too!'' and they tossed me a spare rifle. 
 
 And there were more. From the skies and from the ground. And when more blue helmets arrived the skies receded into the tranquil blue. And when the fire pillars of light dotted the horizon, the Earth stopped trembling. We had been told the end would come, but no one told the end it would need reinforcements. 
 
 It's strange to say, but God help us if they ever unite as we did.
