The Hellish Invasion

The Hellish Invasion was a century-long conflict between the Kingdoms of Heaven and Hell that took place mostly on Earth. The war took place over a century, from 2012 to 2112, and signified a turning point in Mankind and Supernatural species' relationship.

The Conflict

Prelude

In 2012 the first portals from Hell opened on Earth without warning, bringing forth legions of invaders with seemingly no just cause or drive except their thirst for blood. Almost immediately the armies of Heaven arrived to defend Humanity and fight back against their Hellish rivals.

Deployment

Supernaturals, formerly hidden among the Humans of Earth, revealed themselves to the world and joined the battle on behalf of Humanity. At their helm were the Heroes of Old, perhaps the most famous group of heroes in galactic history.
By 2040 there came a third party in the mystic forces of the war; Purgatory. In his absence Daniel Almis had unlocked the ancient realm and harnessed its powers, directing its endless armies of souls to try and bring a swift end to the war. After many battles the immense power became to much for Dan, forcing the Heroes of Old to step in and defeat him, sealing Purgatory away safely. Dan once again retreated, adamant he could discover an end to the war before his brother.

The Engagement

Over 50 years into the war, the Heroes of Old split in half due to a 'civil war' amongst them. The two brothers Daniel Almis and Ven Almis failed to agree on almost anything, leading to a violent confrontation that nearly killed Ven. Afterwards Dan left the group, taking some of them with him, and leaving the others to continue fighting the war alone.
In the year 2112, the Heroes of Old finally discovered what had caused this ongoing conflict. The Second Seal in Heaven's tombs had been broken, meaning the Horseman of War was free. Quickly they summoned the Horseman beneath Heaven, confronting him as a united force. The Heroes of Old, the Human military, and the Angels of Heaven all faced the Horseman in a long, tiring battle, but eventually prevailed and defeated the cruel entity. Upon its defeat the portals of Hell began to close, sealing off the realm and ending the 100 year war.

Aftermath

The Hellish Invasion left Earth ravished by its battles, yet inspired Humanity to advanced greatly in terms of unity and technology. By the 2300s, they became a star-faring civilisation, ready to expand their horizons into the galaxy, and also accept the presence of their Supernatural neighbours who had protected them throughout the war.
