    seat her coat lifting upwards but her weapon clearly visible, she began to walk into the hallways towards the front of the ship the alarms blaring louder and louder the red flashing the lights gleaming off her skin anyone in the hallways moved fast out of her way opening the doors as to not have her do it herself. As she opened the last door herself the sun shined onto the ship she was on, the loud cracking of guns and cannons can be heard the sky that was bright now filling with smoke and fire, she walked to the front of the ship topside and looked out to the ship that was currently firing on hers the ships number shined with the limited sunlight it was a USC heavy battleship, originally something for show now with a finalized working model, nine large cannons, four small cannons, and plenty in the anti air department and with armor so thick even missiles would just leave dents and scratches it was by all accounts the worlds most successful warship, the woman standing overlooking the carnage that had befallen her own ship pulled out her sword, it was not a common everyday sword but instead something straight from fiction the blade black and silver with what seemed like red lightning jumping from the blade onto the ground as she pointed it at the USC ship the sword began to light up more and more building a large amount of energy, a powerful beam of light escapes the sword shooting outwards straight at the ships tearing right through its armor causing small explosions throughout the USC ship, the light swayed back and forth a final explosion came as the ships reactor detonated breaking the ship in half, a voice could be heard from the woman¡¯s earpiece ¡°what would you have us do with the survivors ma¡¯am?¡± The woman displayed a disappointed look for a second before her response came ¡°what survivors?¡±¡­ the coms where silent for a second before a reluctant yes ma¡¯am¡­ I understand¡­ was heard over the coms network, she turned around and began walking inside walking past men going in the opposite direction holding rifles in their hands, as she entered back inside leaving the frame gunshots could be heard in the background followed by screams of pain and despair, as she was walking back to her office the loud clicking of her boots against the floors steel frame could be heard everyone else was silent allowing a echo to form around her, when she entered her office she she placed her sword onto the table it still steaming from the large raw amount of energy forced out, small sparks could be seen jumping off it, she sat down in her chair looking outwards to the screens displaying a clear picture of the floating bodies in the water some sank others floated back into the fire she created, a small decrepit smile formed on her face the sound of screams ended as her ship began to leave the frame On the reports of the battle there were no survivors listed they all went down with the ship or that¡¯s what was believed thus pushing the war closer to a end as the USCs most powerful naval weapon was now nothing more than a memory.Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

 Chapter one-Betrayal

    That salt water smell¡­ it¡¯s all too familiar I let out a deep sigh with feelings of relief and disappointment, I thought this war would make me a hero like my father but when it¡¯s all said and done I¡¯m just another nobody that served. in a rush of a moment the door slams open as a familiar figure pops out, Jacob! Hey man I¡¯ve been looking all over for you, you totally gotta see this news article we¡¯re basically hero¡¯s man! This was my close friend Chavez, we went through hell together, we always had each other¡¯s backs even if we were in the wrong¡­most of the time, he walked over to me and took a seat next to me putting his hand on my shoulder, listen man I know technically we just escorted the carrier around and did small odds and ins but come on man we get to go home in a few weeks and when we get there it¡¯s blackout specials every night! My friend was a bit of a alcoholic well honestly a big one but he had heart, hey man he said in a concerned tone you ok you¡¯ve been real quiet lately and you know that¡¯s no way to act with our new status. I looked at him with a confused face, status? Well obviously, chicks are gonna love the whole war hero act in fact I might just lead a second baby boom all by myself


    He said this in a joking tone laughing, I joined him in in this laugh and smiled in response I was happy to see him in such high spirits I have heard stories of war changing people making them shells of themselves but Chavez carried himself throughout the bloody eight years the war lasted the sight of land on the horizon was so ungraspable it had felt like years only if it was a few months I stood up with excitement looking at Chavez, what¡¯s up dude he responded, you know, maybe a couple drinks isn¡¯t such a bad idea. Chavez looked a little surprised at my response but his smile grew from ear to ear, haha yea that¡¯s the spirit man! A few hours passed after that but we began to pull into port the cheering from the crew roared like a storm, happiness was a drug in that moment and we were all addicts before we were allowed to go and enjoy ourselves the commanding officer broke down the current situation of the war we had agreed to a armistice to work out the long term but the USC and TRI showed zero desire to continue the war and the peace terms were nearing the final stages cheers could be heard from the crew something that was rare in years past, lastly the commanding officer had a big announcement for the first time the HRM was going to be in port alongside its other allies they had usually gone back to their own home ports before or any land they acquired throughout the war to restock so the idea of them doing this was cause for celebration with all that said the duty section was assigned and luckily Chavez and I were free to roam, we got into our civilian attire after a much needed shower and left the ship it was already getting pretty dark as it was past six thirty in the evening Chavez wanted to visit this one bar he liked before we left called Valhalla I agreed and we went on our way the streets were crowded with sailors from other ships lights hung all around from lamppost to lamppost it honestly felt like a festival loud yelling could be heard from street to street old friends meeting up even the locals were seen celebrating, we made our way up the stairs and walked inside with a set goal on drinking the night away. Away from the busy streets a dark black ship sailed closer and closer to the port a woman stood tall on one of the bridge wings looking out at the busy city the glint of the city shined over against the ship, a wide sinister smile could be seen on her face she stood there with her hands behind her back in anticipation and then she spoke in a cold but commanding voice, are the others here yet? A tall reddish man stood at her side, of course ma¡¯am by your order we may begin. reports show that the sister ships around the world have also begun their assault with lady Mina taking the lead with the highest kill count at four hundred and sixty three thousand. The woman scoffed, well then I guess we have some catching up to do than, order all ships to engage on all possible targets land and sea equally, in a swift motion the red man held up a flare gun and shot it into the air the red flare lit up the now night sky revealing the large fleet amassed outside the port, the silent air lit up with the sounds of cannon fire, the comforting smell of salt water now shifted into gunpowder the shells flew through the sky smashing into moored ships and piers alike secondary explosions were common, other shells began to collide with buildings from tall towers to small homes the guns fired without discrimination and the range of carnage seemed to span for miles from the continuous fire. The large shaking of the ground shocked me as I got up from the bar stool and ran over to Chavez who was passed out on a couch, hey! Hey! Chavez get up danmit! I smacked his face which woke him up in an agitated state, what man?! The ground shook again as the situation started to set in, in a moment his look turned to concern, the ship w-we got to get back to it right away! He bolted up as we both ran outside the bar and down the stairs what we saw was something straight out of a twisted movie crumbled buildings, torn bloody bodies ranging from other sailors to civilians and even children littered the streets, fires raged high like a all consuming monster the screams of those begging for help filled the air the pure shock stopped me I was confused and horrified this surpassed any conceivable terror, we gotta run dumbass! He said this as he pulled on my arm I ran by his side we both equally confused but we understood that we needed to get back to the ship, it was not that far of a run but the collapsing buildings made navigation difficult the smell of blood and searing flesh filled the air it was past the point of nauseating when we made it back to the base gate we saw that it was completely collapsed falling on top of others who were running back we climbed over the rubble struggling at best getting Burns and cuts all over. Gunfire could be heard in the distance followed by screams of pain, Chavez pulled me into a bush as a group of tall red men ran past us and any rounds shot at them seemed to bounce off and their guns seemed to leave giant craters in those they shot at, when they seemed to pass and go past the gate we both jumped out of the bush and bolted for the ship running as fast as we could as every fiber in our body told us to be afraid of the red men we made it to the gate of the pier only to find our shipmates on watch in pieces and our once proud ship in flames as it began to sink into the ocean, we grabbed their guns and headed out the pier to see if we could find anyone else when a red man launched out from the fence he was larger and more menacing than the ones we have seen before on instinct we both opened fire on it with our pistols we got from the dead watch standers, it didn¡¯t seem to faze him as he continued to race towards us, it backhanded Chavez sending him crashing than rolling down a cement pier, Chavez! I yelled out in concern taking my eyes for the giant for a moment, its fist connected with my stomach sending me into the gate, I fell from the gate on to my chest it was as if that one hit broke all my ribs, the giant started to make its way in my direction walking slowly in a taunting manner, Chavez yelled and jumped onto the giants back with the handgun in his pocket and his knife in his hand he edged it into the giants back and lunged it into its neck, the giant yelled out in pain and blood shot out of his neck it moved its arms back and forth around his back trying to grab Chavez as much as it hurt I managed to get back to my feet and pulled out my knife as the giant was distracted I lunged myself at the giant cutting the front of its neck leaving a giant gash in its throat, with one last roar the monster let out a deafening cry and fell over to its side dead, I walked over to Chavez helping him back onto his feet, I got you brother I said hoping to comfort him from his bleeding wounds, a loud Burst could be heard in the background a large red light was moving at us at incredible speeds in the blink on a eye there was a woman with large metal wings kicking Chavez in the gut, blood shot out from his mouth as he we sent flying, as he fell to the ground I was unsure if he was even alive still but before I could react the woman spun around the bottom of her fist which felt like cold steel collided with my jaw knocking me out and slamming me into the ground blood spilling out of my mouth onto the floor, the woman stood tall before more red men came to her side, ¡°put them with the others, killing a demon should warrant a reward after all, fucking humans¡±¡­Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent.

 Chapter two-desperation

    My head was hazy my body burned the pain felt unbearable my blood stained my clothes I felt my feet being dragged on the floor as I was being carried I was able to open my eyes barley and looked to my left and right, I was being carried by those red men and they had Chavez too it felt like we were being dragged forever the road burn tore through the bottom legs of my pants and tore parts of my shoes off I didn¡¯t have the strength to keep my eyes fully open so I just closed them understanding the position I was in, the dragging carried on for what felt like a hour when it stopped we were tossed onto the ground the impact forced my eyes open looking around I could see several people lined up, my commanding officer, the executive officer and other high ranking figures across the fleet all including others who had seemed to put up a fight the red men forced everyone to their knees then she appeared I didn¡¯t get a good look when she attacked us at first but now she stood tall in front of everyone a tall woman with long black hair a pale yet tan skin her uniform was tidy with black primary colors and shining sliver as ascents her hat looked like something a old school officer would wear, it was black and red, she drew he sword as it hit against the ground red sparks went everywhere the nerves in my body shouted danger, one of the officers broke free of their red man¡¯s grip and began to sprint away, she swung her sword at him cutting him in half, dead in a instant a red man walked up to the dead officer and put a device on the back of his head it made drilling sounds leaking blood some of the other officers held panicked and struggled but halted their protest when she pointed her sword at them the blood from the officer dripped off the blade the energy from the blade made it bubble up the red men put the machines on the heads of the other officers they began to scream from pain as they moved back and forth struggling the woman lowered her blade as I looked up at her I caught a glimpse of her face, large ruby colored eyes that glowed like the moon itself, her head shifted towards me noticing that I looked at her, the red man holding me shivered a little as he punched my head making me look down the officers stopped screaming, I initially thought they may have died but it seems the devices were done and stopped working the woman then addressed us all, humans are quite interesting, you hide your thoughts, knowledge, and dreams whilst you pray and beg for peace and yet you couldn¡¯t stop your bloodlust for your own kind¡­ don¡¯t see this as a war, that would be misleading this is a extermination of your entire species the knowledge we have just extracted from your brains will tell us whatever your species is hiding, any bunkers, military bases or anything else that interests the queen now belong to her, now that you have all served your purpose I shall personally execute the death penalty on you for being such a miserable species, she moved all the way to the left starting with the commanding officer she raised her sword and decapitated him, his head rolled on the ground all I felt was fear in this moment this was how it would all end I could hear to my right Chavez chuckle, what could be so funny in this moment? I asked in a depressed tone, you know he said I didn¡¯t think I¡¯d die like this ya know? How were you supposed to die then I asked he responded with a smile on his face, smothered by some sexy woman until I can¡¯t breathe, I laughed a little, really? That¡¯s how it¡¯s all supposed to end for Chavez? I said still smiling, can¡¯t be much worse than being decapitated, so then how was Jacob supposed to die? he asked in a hopeful tone. Well Chavez, I responded, I would have liked the slower life maybe die old surrounded by friends and family after living a good life, Chavez laughed before he took a little bit more of a serious tone, you think I would¡¯ve been there Jacob¡­ I was taken back a little by the sudden change, no doubt brother, Chavez chuckled a little before taking a sigh, well¡­ maybe in the next life¡­ our moment was interrupted by a head rolling past us when I looked up I met her eyes again, her smile soured as she looked down at me, she raised her sword I felt it cut through the wind as she raised it blood from the others dripped down onto me, maybe in the next life brother¡­ I closed my eyes ready to accept my fate, in a instant the night sky blew up with a large bright light before a voice echoed captivating all that heard it, the only thing everyone heard ¡°That¡¯s Enough¡±The narrative has been taken without permission.

 Chapter 6 first strike

    the angels yet powerful are stretched thin across the world we were a lone force of fifteen going against a estimated three hundred fifty as we made our approach the scene came in to frame there were fallen over raisin towers probably the first thing targeted to try and stop reinforcements but the broken buildings and fire the scent of blood and ash stained the air. We hovered over to ongoing battlefield for a moment to strategize and think clearly on our objectives, Gabriel looked concerned but also stern he was well aware of our situation but also understood giving up what little earth had remaining to the demons was out of the question he didint look as if he was planning how to win but instead how to mitigate losses while pushing them back far enough to form a frontline ¡°Jacob Chavez hit them from the left flank and push inwards we are using formation revolving door¡± copy said Jacob and Chavez as they flew east they cocked back their rifles and began to unload upon the demons below each shot of the heavy rifle kicked back on them but the result it had against the demons was outstanding these weapons far outranked that of human technology. When there was noticeable breathing room we pushed downward to the ground and unsheathed our swords and got into a ready stance, three additional angels flew over to support as we began to push forward the blade we had trained so long with cut through the demon hoards like butter becoming for familiar with the resistance of the demon body on each strike this feeling we both felt was not that of happiness or rage but instead redemption after being treated like toys by the demons before we were now real threats and we could tell by the looks they gave us I swear I will make one hundred demons pay for every life they stole back in Yokosuka we cut down swabs Chavez shined making it look easy but it was difficult for me, the mix of human and demonic body¡¯s that littered the ground felt too familiar to what I saw at first contact some of the faces even looked familiar it made me uneasy, maybe if we had deployed sooner, jumped into action faster, maybe there would be less dead here it angered I should have saved them, it¡¯s my job, and yet I failed again. with one last stab I stood upon a pile of demons they looked like they were falling back defending a building they had a few humans hostage, Chavez jumped behind cover but I felt something deep within me, I wouldn¡¯t allow anymore good people to be taken by these dammed demons, I hustled over the cover and charged using my artificial wings to pick me off the ground a little before I heard a loud bang, my shoulder it hurt badly, my blood began to bleed into my white uniform I jumped back behind cover holding my shoulder, I breathed heavy the adrenaline and pain mixed together gripping onto my shoulder made it hurt even more, Chavez ran over and set down a medical box before taking out a blood stim and injecting it into my chest, he looked down at me, ¡°your a fucking idiot sometimes¡± he removed the stim and dropped it to the floor before using the barrier as a stabilizer for his rifle, Gabriel flew over landing next to us, ¡°squad two report¡±. I got hit but still manageable, they have four human hostages inside and have advantageous positions, how the rest of the team? ¡°Multiple casualties we are down to eight our reinforcement request was already denied, at the moment we must finish the mission with only squads one and two¡± copy sir, I steadied my rifle on the barricade and aimed down at the demons the sight I saw the scope made me sick, they were not hostages just final sacrifices, all four hostages laid dead in front of the building brutally dismembered, I clenched my fist before opening fire.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
