Michael and Dominic : The Untold Story
--------------------------------------

Narrator : A long time ago, in a Heaven far, far away...

<scene>
Scene of pretty-pretty Heaven, all Disney-style and cute.
</scene>

Narrator : ... there was a time when two Seraphs could entwine their coils in peace ...

<scene>
A private cloud: Dominic does an artistic sway out of his hooded cape, and wriggles across seductively to entwine coils with Michael in what is undoubtedly X-rated erotica for Seraphim.
</scene>

Narrator : ... until the Fall.

<scene>
Shot of Michael hefting huge serrated blood-dripping axe, and looking mean enough to give even Beleth herself nightmares.
</scene>

Narrator : After the War began, there was no place in Heaven for lovers...

<scene>
Dominic, in black leather studded gear, veils his face with a wing. "Michael.. my love.. I always fear that you care more for your axe and for your rivers of blood than for me."
</scene>

Narrator : ... or on Earth ...

<scene>
A muscled Michael (in leather loincloth with axe) embraces a blonde Dominique (in white lace) in a shot that could serve as a cover for a Gor book, but she is struggling, resisting him.
</scene>

Narrator : ... or anywhere in between.

<scene>
Lonely shot of scantily-clad Dominique weeping in the Marches.
</scene>

Narrator : And then came the Woman...

<scene>
A blazingly nude female Gabriel hovers above her volcano, making an appealing gesture towards the watching Michael, who is making definite bedroom eyes in her direction. Dominic, nearby, declaims, "Heretic! You have sinned against Heaven!"
</scene>

Narrator : ... and the Malakite.

<scene>
A dark-winged and earnestly gorgeous Laurence kneels before the cloaked Dominic, in a servile posture. "I only yearn to be shown the way to virtue, to honour, to serve my Master..."
</scene>

Narrator : Until love turned to hate.

<scene>
Several Secret Police style Malakim restrain a chained Michael, amid a very dark and severe angle shot of the Council Spires, while Dominic reads off a list of charges. "... heresy, pride, sinful vanity..."
</scene>

Narrator : And all they could do, in the end, was hurt what each other loved...

<scene>
Michael and Laurence duelling, Michael with axe and Laurence with sword, against a windswept landscape. Michael forces Laurence down on one knee: Laurence has interesting rips in his leather clothing and is bleeding artistically.
</scene>

<scene>
Dominic proclaims, "And you, sinners, shall be stripped of your Forces, reduced to the filth that you are..." Attractively naked Servitors of Fire and Creation and Flowers are shown being lashed to stakes, beaten, and otherwise tortured.
</scene>

<scene>
Michael, whetting his axe, against a backdrop of Servitors of War preparing weapons and engaging in target practice on chained Dominicans and the like.
</scene>

<scene>
A fiery, still-nude Gabriel kneels, pleading with Dominic, who is turned away from her, his cloak blowing back to show black dom gear. "I beg of you... they say that I am insane, but I'm not! But I feel the pain of my Servitors... spare them, please, I'll do anything..."
</scene>

Narrator : ... till now it's Holy War.

<scene>
Bloody slaughter in the Marches, between Michaelites and Dominicans.
</scene>

<scene>
Shots of Michael and Dominique in the early days, both in Seraphic and human forms.
</scene>

<scene>
Laurence, looking out over the walls of Heaven, a single tear trickling down his cheek.
</scene>

<scene>
Shot of a set of chains, hacked apart by a really big battleaxe.
</scene>

<scene>
Screen goes black.
