The rock blew into bits. Some pieces got lodged in Gary's skin while Iren was blown back into the cold wall. Gary reached for his guns and fired. He had done this so many times that this action was a natural occurrence to him, repeating over and over again. Again it didn't flinch. The more bullets got lodged in its head, the angrier it got. It finally occurred to Gary that this must the Fallen Angel of Rage. The beast charged forward, shaking the entire room. Gary managed to get out of the way just in time but it occurred to him that he wasn't the real target, the beast wanted Iren instead. She must have done something to piss these Demons off but what was it? None of this mattered now. Aiming down the barrel he shot the creature in the back of the head. The beast turned around.

"Your fight is with me freak show," Gary said.

The beast charged once more at Gary and again he dodge out of the way. He's was fighting an impossible war. How could he go up against that? He needed to formulate a plan quickly. The beast suddenly phased in behind him and let off a burst of energy that blew Gary back towards Iren. He got up slowly massaging his back. The creature stomped its feet again shaking the whole room and charged yet again. The creature slammed into the wall and when the dust cleared, Gary and Iren were gone. Gary lay on the floor not to far from the beast firing his bullets one after the other. Iren was on top of his body and slowly came too. She turned her head to see what he was firing at and was met with the Fallen Angel of Rage again. She extended her hand and Gary's bullets became shrouded in a aura that pierced the demons spike horn. A few more shots fired and the spike shattered revealing a flesh like goop that was black in color. The Demon lost its balance and fell to the floor with a thud forcing Gary and Iren off each other.

"There! You see that?" Iren said as she pointed toward the black goop. "That's the demons' nerve residue."

"Nerve residue?" Gary asked.

"Behind it should be its brain."

"Let me guess, we need to blow it up somehow?"

"Or shred it."

Gary reached for his bag and pulled out what looked like a pipe bomb. He then reached down again and pulled his dagger from its sheath. He ran straight up to the colossal creature with one thought in his mind. The creature slammed its arm into the ground forcing tentacles with carnivorous teeth at the end to try and devour Gary. Iren sat there watching as Gary risked life and limb to kill a Fallen Angel. She wished she could be as brave as him but there's a very fine line between bravery and stupidity. No matter, she still had to help him. After all he was the only she had left. Iren released a barrage of energy blasts that sliced though the carnivorous tentacles and cut a clear path for Gary. Gary jumped on the beasts head and sliced though the black goop with his dagger. Taking the pipe bomb is hand and threw it inside the demons head. He jumped off and waited by Irens side, slowly counting down the seconds until the Demon was no more.

"5…"

"4…"

The Demon got up and started to charge toward Gary and Iren.

"3…"

"2…"

The Demon came closer and closer.

"1…"

Gary could feel the Demons breath. It reeked of death, bloodlust, rage, anger, hatered. He was now close enough where he could feel its devilish aura. Right in front of his face. Then before even a bead of blood fell from his face the pipe bomb went off. The Demon was no more.

"Weird, I thought Fallen Angels were tougher," Gary said breathing a sigh of relief.

Iren walked toward the dead demon.

"That's because this wasn't a Fallen Angel."

"It wasn't?"

"It bears a resemblance to Rage but this one was just an ordinary Demon."

Gary spotted to yellow eyes that stared right into his and then disappeared. This peaked his interest. He put his dagger away and pulled out one of his magnums. He then proceeded to walk past Iren who was still rambling about.

"They must've stationed this Demon here for something, probably to guard, but who or what?"

Iren looked around for Gary and spotted him walking away.

"Oh well that's nice. Walk away and leave a girl alone, again!!!" Iren screamed at him as she ran toward his side.

She waited for a response from him mainly a witty comment but he was silent, eyes only focused on the road ahead of him as they entered a cave.

"Hello are you feeling ok?" Iren asked.

"I saw something," Gary said as he walked along.

"Something?"

"It had yellow eyes and ran away from me. That something just may be the answer to my prayers."

Gary started to run chasing down this culprit. The cave grew darker and darker as they turned the corner. Gary switched on his flashlight and held out his gun just in case something lunged at him. The same darkness that comforted you while you were asleep was not your greatest fear in this altered world. Step by step, closer and closer, they could hear sobbing, tears striking the ground below. A survivor maybe? Gary could do nothing but hope. Forward, tears grew louder, fear became more apparent beyond the reach of the light. Closer and closer until the light came and cast itself on a farmiliar face. A face that Gary could not forget. His gun on her forehead ridden with sweat was his girl.
