Hey everyone, as always I dedicate to my inspirations, 'Clairadennisetracy,' Savannah H. 'WeIzWhoWeR,' and Mr. Olsen! Enjoy =D

The vicinity was almost vacant. Many of the women and children were evacuated to the sewers. Santiago, Jarod, and Savannah lead the militia, Darcy and Hailey guarded the archers in the back, were the main sewer entrance was. Santiago stared at Jarod and then Savannah.

"You nervous Jarod?" asked Santiago.

"I guess," said Jarod.

"We'll, how about a little wager, most killed wins," explained Santiago.

"I guess you might as well give up dude, you won't win," joked Jarod.

"So, are you in?" asked Santiago.

"Sure," said Jarod.

Santiago looked to Savannah.

"Are you ready?" asked Santiago.

"Nope, I can't say I am," said Savannah.

"If we have a competition, would you be interested?" asked Santiago.

"Um, yes," joked Savannah, "you boys should just retreat while your dignity is still manly, you're going to lose."

"Oh, sounds like a challenge," said Santiago.

Savannah blushed and looked down. Santiago looked to the entire militia and smiled, he has 500 men at his call, a strategist in the back, and his friends all around him. He looked to the ley gun flag bearer, he looked like he was older than Santiago, but inexperienced. Santiago walked up to him with a smile on his face.

"And what is your name?" asked Santiago.

A tear slid down the soldiers face.

"Draco, son of Marco," whimpered Draco.

"We'll then Draco, son of Marco, are you ready for the host's?" asked Santiago.

"My parents said that it would be an honor to bear the flag, but to me, it seems like suicide," said Draco.

Santiago looked at Jarod, Jarod smiled and nodded back.

"Mr. Alice, me and you are going to guard Draco, son of Marco, the official flag bearer of Ley gun," called Santiago to Jarod.

"With dignity and honor Captain Ramos," answered Jarod.

Santiago smiled at the 'Captain,' term. He went to the front of the line, by then, the barricaded entrance was beginning to break loose with all of the pounding from the enemy. Santiago looked towards his men, each were scared, fearing the worst.

"Men, tonight, we guard our beloved city, our wife's and children, our family and homes, raise your swords, for tonight, we fight like men," called Santiago," please be with us Mars."

Santiago resumed his position in the front, the barricade was almost destroyed.

"Ready your weapons," called Santiago.

The entire militia drew their swords and brought out there shields.

"Stand your grounds!" called Santiago.

The barricade broke loose, letting the entire host to enter and siege Ley gun.

"Hold your ground!" called Santiago.

A horn blew in the distance, the message to the archers that they were under attack. Santiago grabbed his sword and charged the oncoming forces. He jabbed a monster in the eye and hacked his head off, and ran towards the flag bearer, who was standing in the middle. Jarod and Santiago kept slicing monster after monster. Santiago noticed that the first wave was just small creatures. The next wave was empousia's, or Greek vampires. Santiago jabbed an empousia in the stomach. The rest were running really fast, or flinting, using their supernatural powers.

Santiago charged with Jarod and Draco following him. The next wave was strange soldiers that looked almost human. Santiago kept the fire in his sword and blasted five men away from him. Santiago noticed a larger soldier standing in the way of the oncoming waves. He charged the soldier, never keeping his eyes of the target. Santiago tried to jab the large soldier, but felt a sharp pain in his back.

"He's the one, let's go," said the soldier.

"Yes sir," said one of the empousia.

Santiago got up and hacked the soldier and kept charging, every step he took, he felt sluggish, and finally, when he got to the soldier, he fell to the floor, too weak to continue. Meanwhile, Darcy and Hailey kept fighting the oncoming troops. Hailey noticed that time was slowing down a whole lot. Athena appeared in front of her, as if time had completely stopped.

"Hailey, your arrogance will cost your friends a lot," complained Athena.

"Okay, again, you're not telling me anything that can help me, now if you and your nagging can go away, I need to concentrate," said Hailey.

"Well here, use this bow, maybe it will crack the surface that already exist," said Athena.

She handed Hailey a bow, with a quiver with lots of bows and two knifes.

"The arrows are unlimited," explained Athena.

"Um, thanks?" said Hailey.

Athena disappeared, Hailey was on top of the ledge, her bow and arrow already equipped, but her sword was nowhere to be found. Hailey aimed and shot the monster on Darcy, she looked up with a confused look on her face. Hailey was even more confused, she kept shooting, and every shot was perfect. When she held a sword, she felt weak, but with a bow and arrow, she felt invincible. Shot after shot was right where she wanted.

Jarod ran towards Santiago who was already passed out, he felt sharp pain in his back and fell down, thinking that he was stabbed. Savannah was already passed out next to Santiago, he felt like he was drugged. He struggled to crawl away, until he gave up and passed out, his last memory was two hands grabbing his shoulders and picking him up.

Hailey saw her boyfriend being dragged away. She looked down and realized that to jump the ledge was suicide.

"Darcy," called Hailey.

Darcy looked at Hailey, who was pointing at Jarod. Darcy yelled adding a large earthquake. A lot of the hosts were destroyed by the rocks. Any unlucky soldier was injured in the quake. Hailey fell down with the large quake knocking her down.
