Chapter 2
Dark red blood ran down from Andrew's blade, slowly dripping and forming a small puddle of blood near his feet. In front of him a never ending lines of demons approached him, behind him a trail of bodies and destruction. Looking up into the dark thundering sky, then around him at the now ruined buildings Andrew let loose a loud audible sigh.
"You guys just don't know when to quit do you?" Andrew muttered, slowly striding forward. On the next street two black blurs made its way down leaving a trail of blood in their wake. Finally coming to a stop, the dragonic siblings stood on each side of the ruined street glaring ahead at another mass of demons in front of them.
"Jeez you'd think they would have given up by now," Alex stated shouldering his no dachi.
"Hah demons don't have a brain that tells them to surrender," Catherine replied raising her naginata. Nodding at each other the siblings dashed forward again. Another street a dozen humans stood forming a wall of bristling spears, in the center Kevin stood his trident dripping with blood.
"COME AND GET SOME YOU DAMN DEMONS!" Kevin roared as the line charged down the street. Almost as if they were racing side by side, Andrew, Alex, Catherine, and Kevin charged down the street leaving corpses in their wake keeping pace with each other, until they arrived at the city park. A blood red gate stood in the center. Where trees used to stand only piles of ash remained, the grass turned black. From the gate demons poured forth screeching and roaring. At the entrance to the park corpses of angels lay decimated by the hordes of demons rampaging from the gate. Striding to the entrance to the park the Andrew, Alex, Catherine, and Kevin looked at the new mass of demons in front of them.
"They never get tired of dying do they?" Kevin asked leaning on his trident, his subordinates already forming a phalanx in front of them.
"If they did this would be easy," Andrew replied.
"Less talking more killing," Alex said merging with the line of Emerald Hydras. Rolling her eyes Catherine followed suit. Shaking his head Andrew moved to join them, but he heard a large crash from behind. Spinning around katana at the ready, Andrew smiled as he saw who approached. A giant wielding a war axe led a group of fourteen Phoenixes and twenty-two Dragons.
"Saqif it's been awhile, and you're as big as ever as I can see," Andrew said looking up at Saqif, as the two groups merged.
"Ha likewise, and you are as short as I remember!" Saqif laughed striding forward. Laughing to himself Andrew stepped forward.
"Bah who likes waiting?" Saqif yelled running forward to meet the demons.
"Oi, wait for me!" Alex yelled running to catch up. Rolling her eyes Catherine followed her Naginata spinning above her head. Shaking his head Andrew ran forward. The small group of subordinates running behind them. At the head of the group Saqif roared as he swung his axe as he met the first line of demons. Jumping in an arc Catherine somersaulted in the air landing in a group of demons. Spinning her naginata up Catherine sliced any demon that dare enter her circle of death. Dashing forward Alex brought his no dachi up and pummeled the demons in front of him until they collapsed. Roaring a challenge Andrew side stepped his way into the ranks of demons cutting all in his path. Soon the other members caught up and threw themselves into the fighting. The ground shook with each and every strike. The sky shined a demonic red, the sun blotted out by black clouds. Cutting their way to the gate the group finally broke through and stood bloodied and tired in front of the gate. Their group now smaller then it had been at the start prepared to destroy the gate once and for all. But as they stepped forward the gate rumbled. A demonic laugh sounded through the gate.
"Ha, ha, ha so you've bested my own army? No matter you are after all still humans," the voice rumbled, getting louder as if it were getting closer. Holding their ground the small group of survivors shuddered as the air around them grew colder, The sky turned completely black, color seemed to fade from the world, and the sun disappeared. The gate shuddered as a large form emerged a giant sword in hand.
"And so who might you pitiful souls be, and how have you come across such power, now answer me quickly before you freeze to death," the towering demon said with a sadistic smile.
