Chapter 4:
The group landed hard on the ground. Mars was the only one standing. Behind him, hundreds of Anpu marched out of a portal. Around them, demons charged at soldiers. An LAV-45 came speeding in. It's turrets firing into a platoon of demons. As it deployed a squad of Army Rangers. One of the Rangers pointed at Sophie and Marethyu and they all ran toward them. Lt. Col. Sanders got up and greeted the Rangers, asking what their mission was. After a brief exchange, he knew that the Rangers were deployed to find Marethyu and Sophie.
Mars Yelled and Anpu ran forward into demon ranks. A Predator drone bombarded the demons from above.
"God damn." Said one of the Rangers. "What are those things?"
Marethyu and Sophie came. "Anpu." Marethyu said. "You might recognize them from Egyptian mythology." As he finished his sentence a bolt of black energy flew at Mars, knocking him down.
"Angra Mainyu!" Yelled Marethyu. He stepped in front of Sanders, his hook glowing gold and red. Angra smiled and launched another bolt of black energy at Marethyu. One of the SEALs took a picture of Angra with his helmetcam. Angra was tall, about 8 ft, and had limbs of an eagle, his head was a horned reptilian head, he had a tiger tail and black eagle wings. The bolt of energy collided with Marethyu's extended hook. The Rangers and SEALs fell down while Sanders sprayed at Angra, who was flying towards Marethyu. A silver spear pierced Angra's neck.
"AAAAARRRGGHHH!" Angra screamed as he flew to the side, golden fluid flowing from his wound. He pulled the spear out of his neck and growled. A Humvee came speeding towards, it's 50. Cal lighting up the night. Angra shielded his face, and then jumped at the Humvee. The Humvee flipped, the gunner falling to the floor. Angra dug his claws into the Humvee and threw it at Sophie.
Mars had suddenly appeared in front of her, catching the Humvee. He set it down gently, and the Rangers rushed to help the men inside while the SEALs opened fire on Angra. Marethyu charged at Angra. His hook was bright red. The rest of his body was a blinding gold. Angra leaped. Angra's eagle fist had a black aura, and collided with Marethyu's hook. There was a moment of silence, then a sonic boom. The human soldiers and demons covered their ears and fell, while the frightened Anpu broke rank. Angra was deep in a crater. Marethyu was kneeling in front of Angra's unmoving body. Sophie ran to help her brother while Mars got the Anpu to regroup. Two A-10 Warthogs flew in, ripping through demon ranks. The humans cheered and Tanks pursued the fleeing demons. Several Anpu went into the crater to retrieve Angra's body. Mars walked over to Sophie and Marethyu. The latter could barely stand.
"That power, you just killed Angra with one punch," he said. "I've never seen anyone kill an elder with a single attack."
"Yeah?" Marethyu looked at Mars. "That attack nearly killed me. I need to eat"
Sophie chuckled. "You and your appetite."
The SEALs and the Lt. Col returned to Sophie and Marethyu. "The SecDef wants to see you too again, and your new friend" Sanders eyed Mars.
"We're flying all the way back to the Pentagon?" Sophie asked.
"No," Sanders said with an agitated voice. "He's on video call in that tent the Rangers set up."
