With Sword and Salt
By SMYGO4EVA
There was nowhere else they wanted to be right now.
Even as blood matted their outfits, their weapons brandished and ready for battle.
Absolutely nowhere.
Though monsters and ghouls were all around, they wouldn't get too close, or too far for that matter,
Both eyes open, Heinkel gripped the handles of her guns, aiming and firing right into the monster's face, blood and viscera splattering onto the ground.
Yumie wielded her most trusted sword, the blade sharpened, and she sliced across a demon's neck, separating the head from the body, a geyser of crimson spurting.
The monster was no more, falling to the ground with a sickening thud.
Heinkel smiled, and Yumie grinned, just before they straightened up and prepared themselves for another barrage of ghouls, their backs against the other.
There was nowhere else they would rather be. They were trained for this, this very fight, they knew the risks, and they were to give it their all.
Heinkel reloaded her guns, and Yumie inspected her blade, sharp as ever, not even dulled yet.
Whispering the verses they knew by heart, they were ready. They were ready, and under the banner of God, for the good of humanity, they would fight, and they would be victorious.
Yumie looked back to see Heinkel, exchanging quick smiles at each other, before steeling themselves for the battle ahead.
They would fight, and they would fight together.
