True cross academy stood high and mighty in the city. The towering structures and futuristic updates made it striking, like a space station or something from a science fiction movie. True Cross Town had neon signs plastered on their walls, street markets flooded the alleyways and the slums have made a resurgence. The economy failed after Satan took over the world, now it's just a fact of life. Demons roam around freely, some kill just for fun. The exorcists have turned into the police at this point. One exorcist took out a pistol and shot a shapeshifter in the face. Blood splattered on the ground as it began to dissolve. This was life. This was the future. A Future that never was.
In a back alley a boy was getting beat up as he was on the ground. Three older kids began to kick his stomach and punch his face. Soon the boy had bruises and a busted lip. "That'll teach this fucker. Let's go get some noodles" The leader of the trio Ryo said as his lackeys followed behind.
The boy got up and wiped his nose and face. He spit out a wad of blood and he pulled a tooth out. That's been happening a lot since he has cavities, many of his teeth are falling due to decay. But since dentists aren't normally a thing in the slums he doesn't care. Bad hygiene is a staple in the slums, people die from diseases, health issues, beatings, murders and assault. It's a never ending shit show waiting to happen.
Elsewhere above one of the skyscrapers in downtown a woman was standing on top scoping out a building. She had sunglasses that worked as a camera and a scanner. "Luke, I've found the target's permission to engage" She said over the intercom. She was a senior class exorcist specializing in guns. She is a dragoon class. It was a bit when her partner Luke got back to her.
"Okay Asaki, you have the go just not cause a ruckus like you did last time. I had to take the heat for your recklessness. No one likes an airhead in their team" Luke said over the comms as Selene grunted. She always hated getting lectures from Luke. She's 23 years old and she can do what she wants.
At this point Selene stood up on the ledge and looked directly at the window she was going to jump into. She had a plan and execution all in place. Selene was known to be good with guns and she knows how to throw hands also. But this was her first attempt to jump across from a building. Parkour really wasn't her strong suit.
Selene leaped off of the ledge as the wind sprayed in her face. Her long black hair swayed in the air as she was crossing the large ravene. She saw cars and people below her like ants. So this is what it's like being so high up. Suddenly she shoots the window in front of her as shards of glass shatter forward to the demons.
Selene shoots two of them in the head as their heads explode with blood and flames. The guards began to fire their guns at her as she twirls her body and begins shooting. The bullets penetrate them in a spiraling motion as their bodies start violently shaking. Blood began to fill the walls and carpets as their corpses were riddled with bullet holes. She lands on the table and begins shooting the demons in the face one by one, all exploding into blood and flames.
Selene then notices a sword come near her direction as another demon this time more ferocious. Selene flipped over as the sword struck the table, breaking it in half. "I always love a good sword fight. Bring it bitch" She says as she pulls out her retractable holy water infused blade. Sharper than any steel on earth and can kill any demon in a single slash. Thus the demon swung his sword in a diagonal direction as Selene countered it with a loud bang.
Metal upon metal was hitting each other as the paint on the walls began to ripple. Selene started to twirl the sword in her fingers as it began a rotation. This was her signature move. The twister. The twister violently spun like a weed wacker as it sliced up everything in its path. The demon was walking backwards as she let go of the sword as it disappeared. The demon smirked as if he won. But Selene wagged her finger as she backflipped in the air as the sword was coming straight at the demon. It pierced his chest as he was pinned to the wall. Selene landed on the carpet and began to walk over.
"Demon. Why are you here? Meddling in human affairs?" Selene asked the demon. The demon coughed up blood.
"You don't know, do you? A war is coming, a war you exorcists cannot win. It's kind of funny hearing you of all people talking about human affairs. When you yourself aren't exactly human either"
"What makes you say that? I'm perfectly fine"
The demon laughed in her face as he was laughing so hard he coughed up more blood. "You're a nephilim. Angel and demon blood resides in you. Your father is the key to this all. Your lineage. You have more demon in you than human girlie" The demon said
"My father??? My father is a human and that will always be the case. He was tested by the true cross. Stop lying before I slit your throat" Selene said as he pulled out a sharp knife also infused with holy water.
"There are secrets that are hidden in plain sight. Revelations that will alter the course of history. Revelations that will alter you. A war is coming Selene, you cannot stop it. It. Is. Inevitable." He said as he began laughing harder as Selene slit his throat then and there.
Blood was leaking from his neck as he burned slowly on the wall. Selene pulled out her sword and seathed it in the holster. Selene walked toward the broken window as the sound of the true cross arrived. The moon was out as it shined directly at her face, she was feeling conflicted and distant. As if she was possessed. A nephilim? Angel and demon? My lineage? A war? All of this doesn't make sense. "Guess I have a lot of work tomorrow. But ... .I do have a bad feeling about this" Selene said as he sat on the ledge and stared up at the sky.
War is coming.
