One Mans War...One Mans Revenge.(Open)

[Night]

The sun had just gone down and the last of the humans boarded up there doors and closed there blinds hiding themselves because what was about to happen would make any human run and hide....As the sun fell and finally went below the horizon and its light was eaten by the dark it was then that demons and monsters started to appear from the shadows and from holes in the ground...from under debris of fallen buildings and from black portals leading to hell its self and even though this site was seen there was one human who would not hide...one human that would try and fill them all.

After the large group of demons appeared there was a scream and then a car came charging down a large hill and it hit a couple of the larger demons while it was obvious that the lady at the wheel had lost control"three" and then the car crashed into a building with yet even more demons in it and in seconds there was more demons in the area that could be counted"two" and the screams of the woman in the burning car could be heard as one of the larger demons got closer to save the woman from the fires and feast on her flesh himself but when the demon ripped off the driver side door there was no woman only a recorder playing back the sound of a woman screaming.." one".

Reaper pushed the button on the detonator and in a blaze of glory and C4 half of the demons numbers dropped in less than a second with many more burning from the explosion and then from a broken down building over looking the entire show head lights and overly bright roof lights of a large SUV came on and blinded the demons and then Muzzle fire of a 50cal. machine gun started to go off and its incendiary rounds tore through both sky, demon flesh and even through walls and one by one demons were dropping and then when there was only 3 human sized demons and one truck sized one the doors to the SUV opened and out of it jumped Special Unit Reaper. " Time to go back to hell...."

He reached behind himself and puled out two hand guns and then he ran forwards and he kicked a stake that was tied to a rope and the SUV he was in started to roll and it came down and ran over one small demon and almost hit the larger one but it jumped and dodged it and then Reaper hit another button that was on his belt as the SUV exploded and the blast sent the two smaller demons toward him and he slid on the ground dodging one of them that was flying through the air and the other one as it slid by he took aim and jumped over it doing a flip and he put two custom rounds one from each handgun into its head and as he landed he holstered the handguns and ran toward the bigger demon.

He ran at the demon as it roared at him and it reared back one of its long arms and sent it forward with all the claws and spiked facing forward so to stab into the human and Reaper jumped and as the arm missed and stabbed into the ground Reaper landed on it and ran up it towards the head of the demon and he pulled out a single Grenade of his own making and he took out one of his hand guns and held it in his left hand and he shot the demon in the eye of which caused it to scream and then he dove over its head and as he did he dropped the Grenade into its mouth and as he landed on the ground and rolled he looked over his shoulder and he holstered his gun and the moment the gun was locked into place the grenade went off and the demons head was gone and a weird blue fire was coming from where the head use to be and Reaper then stood and walked over to his SUV and he reached into it and pulled out another 50cal. machine gun that was within a protective case and he shouldered it as he took out a drum of ammo for it and locked it into the gun and he pulled back the loader and he was ready to kill some more.

"Damn, I just can't win!", Jack said as he wandered through the deserted streets.

Jack had gotten lost in the ruined city about an hour ago and has just been wandering since. Now the sun was down and the demons were out. Jack was quickly surrounded by three of them, two huge ones and an even larger one.

"Where do you think you going?", one of them asked.

"Well, I was getting out of this city until", Jack answered as he pulled out his magnum and fired it into the one demon's skull, "you three decided to target me for a snack."

The other two charged at Jack who pulled out one of his wings to swat them away.

"Now let me get something straight, I'm not a snack, I am not human, and I sure as hell won't hesitate to blow your friggen' heads off.", Jack shouted.

Shortly after, a large explosion was heard from the west which got everyone's attention.

"Great, looks like I have to speed this along", Jack said as he wanted to check out the explosion.

Jack transformed completely and finished off the other two with a quick two slashes to their necks. Somewhat of an impulse to attack the vital points with him. The two fell with gashes in their necks and Jack saw the others running away.

"That's that, time to go!", Jack flew up and towards the explosion only to see a single human by a SUV.

"Hey down there, is anyone hurt?", Jack said as he reverted back to his regular form so not to scare the person, using only his wings to fly down.

[Bucks23]

Kyle darted among the debris to watch what appeared to be a single human take on a whole horde of nasties. Contents he had scavenged in his worn blue backpack clunked and clanged against eachother noisely as he moved.
His big blue eyes lit up with the amazing spectacle before him, it was like it was straight out of a comic book or something. After the final explosions, Kyle whistled and tilted his baseball cap upwards at the front. "Well I'll be damned." Kyle spoke in his heavy texas accent. That fella just gone and bagged himself a whole loada' demon spawn.

The young man clambered and climbed his way through the wrecked street towards the man who had just slapped a fresh ammunition cartridge into his weapon. He waved his hands in the air as he approached, trying to show he wasn't a threat, despite the shotun he had hanging from a strap over one shoulder and the machete tied to his tool belt."That was just amazin'! I ain't ever seen nothin' like that before." He noticed a shadow cross over him and peered up to see something hovering in the air above them asking if anyone was hurt. "What in the hell is that?"

[Night]

As Reaper locked and loaded he heard the words of a human speaking to him...He looked up and saw that the guy was moderately armed and from the sound of his voice was not from around here but by the looks of what he was wearing he had been around long enough to learn to survive when the demons came out so he was good in reapers book." You have never seen anything like that before probably because the soldiers that were trained to think this way are dead...but never mind that....thanks...for the applause..." He looked to the guy and then a whole 2 seconds worth before kyle had seen the shadow..reaper had seen it and he raised his machine gun to his shoulder and lowered to one knee as he aimed down the thermal scope and saw that whatever is was...was not human....and there for...could not be trusted." If you mean no harm i suggest you drop to the ground and show yourself....I will not ask again....I'll count to three...if you have not landed and shown that you truly mean no harm then i ill not hesitate to blow you out of the sky!" He has lived through before and after the fall of man...so it was no wonder he was being this strict.

[Super War Paladin Monkey]

"Ah crap, don't shoot I'm on your side. At least I think I am.", Jack sad as he landed to the ground and formed his wings back into his body, "Names Jack, and you two are?"

Jack changed his glance from each person waiting for a response.

[Night]

Reaper watched carefully as the creature landed on the ground and then he stood up straight and and lowered his gun and he slung it on his back using the strap and then he spoke calmly and quickly." Special unit Reaper.. the guy next to me i just met....Your not human...so hat are you doing here, if not to kill us?" He was a very straight forward person but that was how he was trained so it was to be expected.

[Bucks23]

Kyle watched the exchange between the other human and the flying creature that landed and proceeded to have a conversation with them. Kyle kept a wary distance from the bestial creature and found his hand wandering to the shotgun on his back. He didn't trust the non-human entity no matter how friendly it appeared to seem. Not after some of the things he had seen in this city.

"I'd say that's a darn good question fella." Kyle followed Reaper's words.

[Super War Paladin Monkey]

"Honestly, I kinda got lost in this place. And if you guys aren't here killing innocent people, I think we can assume we're all on the same side.", Jack spoke in careful tone as not to threaten the man with the extremely heavy load out.

Meanwhile, on the far side of the ruined city, Gallus was awoken from his sleep. He woke to a large group of feral demons surrounding him, in the ranks were three hostages, humans by the look of them.

"You human, come quitly or die!", one shouted.

"Foolish pests, *yawn* you really shouldn't go around waking up monsters.", Gallus said as he stretched and stood up.

Two demons charged at him and were quickly sliced in half by his large sword. He then looked at the other demons.

"Look, I'm in a good mood. So how about you hand over the humans and I won't eat you all.", Gallus offered.

"So the human is a cannible with blade?", one thought aloud.

This set Gallus off as he hated being called human.

"That was a grave mistake!", Gallus roared as he charged through the demons and grabbed the one that spoke by it's head.

The demon squelled as Gallus crushed it's skull and dropped it on the ground. He then turned to the others and smirked.

"Well, it is my pleasure to inform you that since you friend here called me a human, I'm no longer in a good mood. Your lives are now forfiet, I give you a minute to pray.", Gallus informed them before turning into his hulking form and started slaying all of them, including the humans while singing, "Dust to dust and dust once more, spare not one, not even the poor."

[Bucks23]

Kyle relaxed slightly, the tension visibly dropping from his shoulders at Jack's words. For some reason he found himself believing him, though he had always been too trusting... or so he had been told. "Well howdy fellas, I'm Kyle." He said, deciding if they were all on the same side and introducing themselves, he would do the same. His eyes shined with admiration as he watched Reaper to see what he would do. The guy was like a super being and everything Kyle would love to become. He felt the beginings of a hero worship coming on.

[Night]

Reaper looked to the creature and eyed him and then slowly spoke." If thats true then welcome aboard but i will give you a warning and i will only say it once...If you do anything that i don't like that makes me question your true intentions i will not hesitate to unload my weapon on you....Are we clear...good." He looked to the only other human there and he pointed at his back towards his shotgun." You...Kyle...What are you packing?" as Kyle answered his question Reaper walked over to a boulder and he moved it to the side and underneath was a medium sized weapon storage crate...He pulled it up and took out a key and unlocked i and he opened it up towards the two o they couldn't see what was inside and then Reaper looked up towards Kyle." Catch." He tossed Kyle a Fully automatic shotgun with grenade launcher attachment and red dot scope and then he tossed him a bandoleer/weapon belt with grenade rounds and shotgun rounds on them." if your going to travel with me then you'll need better firepower than that...." Reaper closed it and placed it back in the hole and then he put the boulder back on top of it and then he looked to the creature." Sorry but you don't get one for the reason that you have natural weapons that us humans do not." He stood up and looked to another ally way and then he pulled out a set of keys and he pushed a button on them and the cars siren beeped twice and the lights of the went on showing it was a fully armed and armored army hummer." lets go."

[Bucks23]

"Alright!" Kyle's eyes lit up like he was a child on christmas morning seeing a heap of presents under the tree. He held his new weapon up to inspect it and turned it over in his hands. "Filthy Demon spawn come get some!" He said and chuckled. He looked to the demon called Jack standing at his left and winced apologetically. "Uh... sorry."

He snapped the weapn belt on and dropped his old double barrel to the ground. It had been a weak weapon of self defense at best against what roamed the city. He held his new weapon in both hands and took a stance similar to what he'd seen Reaper do. He felt like a big tough hunter in a game reserve.

lets go

"Right." Kyle answered the other human's words, a look of determination on his youthful features.

The last rays of day were fading fast in the waining hours of day as it began slipping into twilight. Casting the colossal shadows of the sky scrapers that stood on top broken foundations across the city ruins. This damned city...well that about summed it up alright.

"Wrap it all up with a pretty bow and paper and gave to the devil himself." Seraph mused before he knocked back another swig liquor from the flask in hand. "Ahhh" he exhaled to sooth the burning feeling of high alcohol content. The old Merc rested his arm on his lap as he was sitting on chunk of loose concrete. Just looking over the view of the city skyline, what a depressing thing really. This must have been a real sprawling metropolis before hell literally broke loose. Not it it mattered now. Seraph was quiet a few moments up on his perch, sitting on top of one of the many run down sky scrapers that dotted the city-scape. Just watching the sun make its decent for the day.

Suddenly a loud screech broke the silence and the spastic clinking of chain links came after. He turned looked over to the side to see a rather pissed off looking demon, a long serpentine bugger with wings, all bound in heavy chains its body was coiled around itself tightly. The creature writhed against its restraints and glared at the Merc with rage filled eyes and screeching.

"You're in a good mood..." the serpent demon didn't seem to find the comment amusing as it tried snapping at Seraph. He capped the flask and put into a pants pocket and got to his feet. "So, its seems you remember me don't ya?" he began to pace around to the side. "You took something of mine and I'd really appreciate if I could have it back." he continued when the thing stopped screeching but kept its hateful red eyes on the man. The previous Seraph found himself in a run around game of tag with this particular demon, and it wasn't a friendly game either. Unconsciously the Merc reached back for the particular object in question. All his hand found was a empty knife sheath on the back of his belt.

Recognizing what he was saying the demon tore its gaze from him to a spot deep in the coil where a old handle protruded from flesh. The wound was still bleeding but only a trickle. Seraph took note and took a step forward then immediately jumping back when the over sized snake was just hairs width of snapping a leg off. "HEY!! Heeeey now...I just want the knife. Don't make me put a bullet it in head!"

The demon drew its head back with eyes still fixed on its capture. Seraph cursed to himself. He should tied that tighter. "Ok then, how about a deal? You let me get that knife outta ya and you just fly off? heh?" Sound good?"

The serpent seemed to consider it for a moment with its moth agape ready to strike again and hissing. "You could be a corpse when I take it back!" the man yelled at it. At that the thing stopped and lowered its head a bit its jaws closed. Heh, it may be a monster but it ain't stupid. It wasn't getting out of those chains and it knew it. Once more Seraph stepped forward this time the demon didn't attack, but it kept tensed. They watched each other intently and he reached for the blade handle and yanked once with no success. The serpent gave an agitated hiss yet did not strike. This time Seraph braced a foot on its side and grasped with both hands. He smirked...

In one forceful motion the Merc yanked the blade free and kicked hard with his foot. The demon tried snapping again but oddly found itself out of range and everything suddenly felt lighter. The wily old Merc had pushed it right over the edge! He looked over to see the thing plummet like a big fleshy blob as it writhed the whole way down.

"Happy trails, d*ck head. Heheheh..." the man chuckled to himself looking at the bloodstained knife in hand. Anna. He bent down and wiped the blood off on to his boot then ran his finger over the still warm metal. This stain will be a b*tch to get off...

Gazing over the cherished possession a little longer before replacing it in its sheath before standing. All was quiet again save for the faint screams and hellish howls that began rising up all over the city. At least until a faint crack broke out through the air...the Merc's head shot up and rushed over to the other side of the cracked rooftop. Seraph squinted to see a large plum of smoke and the glow of fire in the distance rising out of a crack in the buildings blocks away.

"What in the bloody blazes..." he trailed off. Chaos came about every night in the streets but it seemed something was going on. The clacking of gunfire followed shortly and he strained to listen. Who or whatever were packing big guns it sounded like. Taking quick note the direction the Merc turned on his heel and made for the stairs.

This wasn't a normal occurrence for as long as Seraph had been here. He'd been here for about a couple of weeks now and he was determined to find out who was going around and shooting the place up. He'd have to be careful of demons along the way, but mostly whoever had enough balls to bring a war to them.

Slapping a clip into the AK-47 slung over his shoulder, Seraph clicked the safety off and chambered a round. Getting to ground zero would take some time.

[Super War Paladin Monkey]

Jack looked at both of them and smirked.

"Don't worry, my guns take care of things while my "powers" as you call them do the rest.", Jack said as he pulled out his black magnum, "Now where are we heading?"

Meanwhile, Gallus sat on a pile of mutilated corpses as he munched on a large leg.

"Gah, this isn't nearly as tasty as human flesh. Still, it is pretty damn good.", Gallus said as he threw the remaining leg into a large pile of bones.

Suddenly, Gallus heard what sounded like a distant beep. His enhanced hearing was made so he could could hear a pin drop 8 miles away, so what was a beep about fifty miles? Gallus smirked at the thought of what might have made that beep was living.

"Round 2, here I come!", Gallus said as he took flight and soared in the direction of the sound.

[Night]

Reaper walked over to the hummer and unlocked the door as he jumped into the drivers seat and then he yelled for the other two seeing that they were still in a little bit of a state of...wow..." Get in or would you rather walk."He put his seat belt on and he looked to his left shoulder where his special locator/motion tracker was and he hit a button on it as it started to move and it would aim to where he was looking and on his right eye was a blue reticule that had numbers and data moving across it as his special combat suit booted up and finally after having his helmet and Balaclava on he looked to the other two and nodded lightly as he started the engine and revved the engine a little and then he threw it into gear and they all took off to what would be one hell of a night in the city of the damned.

Some time passed as they drove down the mostly empty back ally's of the city...Reaper had always been in the city sense before and after its fall so he knew everything there was to know about it...its hiding spots its safe spots...everything...he had to know it all...because it was that information that gave him a huge advantage against the demons of which only came out at night and did not truly belong or live there. As the engine hummed reaper reached into the center console and pulled out an AC/DC Cd and he pushed it into the Cd slot and in seconds Shoot to thrill started playing and even though the other two would not be able to see his smile do to his mask it was what he did...because it reminded him of how it was like when he and other solders would listen to that very song before going out on some mission or sortie. The music was turned up but with the hummers windows rolled up and due to the windows controls being on Reapers side there was nothing for any of them to worry about...no noise escaped the hummer when the windows were up.

Reaper took a turn that went down a small ally and then when it looked like they would hit a solid wall in front of them the ground they were on went down all of a sudden where the road had collapsed and it went down a level and formed a ramp down into the subway area and after going down there he stopped the car and switched off the engine and the lights and then he looked to Kyle in the passenger seat and then to the back seat towards Jack." Okay both of you don't make a sound and don't move and if you have a light on you don't turn it on....." He looked forward and very faintly the sound of some kinda moving could be heard and slowly it started to get louder and louder until it was like thunder and all of a sudden thousands and thousands of flying demons started to move by quickly and some of them hit the mummer but Reaper just sat there nice and calm as if he had done this a hundred times...which he did. " There like the crows of the underworld.....they come out only at night and in the darkness they are blind but the moment they hit light they go crazy and they attack it and because there blind they use sonar like bats do...so if anything moves at all or if they see light like i said...they will attack it and if its a person caught in there wake the person will be dead and eaten until nothing is left in only seconds.....I've seen it done...." He remembered a couple of humans he had tried to save once after the fall of the city and they anted to try to make it on there own and the moment he walked out into the streets the hell crows were waiting for them. " They come out of hell at night and they take over the sky's and everything outside so when they leave the underground we go down here while they kill and eat everything up there..." He pointed up as he said that and then finally the last of the Hell crows went by and after a good 10 seconds of nothing Reaper turned on the engine and then he hit another switch by the steering wheel that started a night vision mode so that when they looked out the windows of the hummer they could see as if looking through night vision goggles." No lights allowed...so i improvised.." and with that he started to drive again going just under street level.

[Bucks23]

"Sweet." Kyle said looking out the window at their green tinted surroundings. He frowned when he thought he saw something following them but he decided it must have been his imagination. He glanced at Jack in the rear view mirror, still amazed at the turn of the day's events that has lead him to be in a car with a demon. He turned his attention back to Reaper. "So like... what are you both doing in the city? There's not many folks left to save and way too many demons to kill on your own."
