Angel Monarch

The night has finally arrived. Sera stood on a makeshift podium, behind her stood Faith on her left and Bea on her right. She didn't want to, but Sera insisted. She was still their leader and today they will be reminded of that!

Sera hid her hands behind her back, they were sweating and trembling from her nerves. Everyone was looking at her, she even prepared a speech, but forgot it as soon as she looked down on the crowd.

'I should still say something inspiring.'

But she couldn't think of anything motivating, so Sera spoke from her heart.

"25 years ago the world ended, but humanity changed with it and managed to survive! Now our cities were destroyed and we changed to be able to survive as well, but we didn't lose ourselves in the process!"

Sera took a second for her words to sink in. In the crowd a lot of people were nodding at her words.

"But sadly not everyone adapted the same way we did! Some became evil and in some ways worse, than the monsters we kill! They enslaved our people and tried to enslave us! I SAY, NO MORE!"

The crowd echoed. "NO MORE!"

"The day of reckoning has arrived and none shall survive! If they are slavers or just enjoying themselves and ignore the atrocities others commit around them, there is only one thing waiting for them! DEATH TO THE SLAVERS!"

"DEATH TO THE SLAVERS!"

"Tonights purpose is a rescue mission, but don't get me wrong! All of them will die, we will make sure of that. For the suffering they caused, a debt is owed and the price is blood! LET THEIR BLOOD FLOW!"

"YEAH" They all shouted with all their might, but soon a chant rose up in the crowd.

"QUEEN SERAPHINE!

QUEEN SERAPHINE!

QUEEN SERAPHINE!"

'Maybe I shouldn't have wore the crown for the speech. Wait, is Bea okay with this?'

Sera turned her head to the right and saw Bea smiling at her. She even nodded and mouthed 'Good job'. Sera gave her a smile of her own. Then turned back to the crowd, they were still shouting.

Sera raised a fist and in a second or two everyone stopped, the shouts still echoed but slowly died down. After only silence reined she shouted.

"We March!" Then she spread her wings and flew to the exit, in her shadow travelled Faith and the others came after her.

The mood became more solemn and focused. They left The Bunker and began their journey towards The Hold.

Many monster came, but they were prepared and took care of them with ease. They didn't even lose a single man on the way to the outskirts of The Hold. 'Now the first part begins!'

Sera and Bea led the soldiers to the Northeastern part of the wall. This was the least protected and the farthest from the main objectives. The first part was quite simple Sera and Bea begins killing the enemies on the wall.

The soldiers stay hidden until the second part is completed. Sera walked next to Bea, when they came near she stopped and looked at her.

"Good Luck, see you after. We have a lot to talk about."

Bea smiled and said. "Good Luck, to you too."

Sera looked at her for a second. 'Ah... fuck it.' She thought and kissed Bea. It was a quick kiss, didn't even last a second, but held all the meaning it needed. With a smile Sera nodded at Bea, then turned towards the battlement and flew at it.

When she got close enough for the guards to see her, a sword appeared in her hand. It was long and pristine white with gold lines on it. The crossguard and hilt were pure gold with white lines. The handle on the other hand was bloodred, a reminder of the weapons purpose.

Sera instantly cut two people down, before they even turned towards her. After another couple of seconds all the guards near her were dead. Suddenly an alarm sounded and more guards began pouring in towards her.

'Lets see how many they need to stop me!'

A barage of railgunfire came her way, but with one wing she defended herself. While bombarded she glanced at Bea's part of the wall. She killed a lot more people since her vines were technically ranged.

'Maybe a sword is not the best for this scenario.'

Her sword elongated in both direction. In Sera's hand was no longer a sword, but a huge lance around 6 meters in length. It had the same pattern as the sword and somehow was the same weight.

'Yes, this is better.'

She didn't just go hunting with Faith to increase both of their Essences, Sera was training with the lance while Faith was training with other weapons of her own. They became quite good by the end of it.

The railguns still shot her wing, so she used her ability and the enemies froze for a split second. Sera used the fear factor as a quick stun and after the last shot hit her she moved.

Evolved with melee weapons or transformed were coming her way but she ignored them. A bat-like creature flew towards her, but got impaled and while falling turned into a human, dead he hit the ground.

Sera flew and dodged the attacks coming her way, in a second she already hit the middle of the enemy formation. She decreased the size of her weapon, then mayhem ensued.

She stabbed a soldier in the heart, then pulled out and with the same move cut the throat of another. While the man was bleeding out, she already dodged a shot and stabbed another guard. A bold soldier wanted to stab her, but she evaded it and killed the soldier with a well placed punch.

She killed and maimed, after a minute around 20 or 30 soldiers were dead around her. Sera didn't wait and flew into the air and towards the Evolved she left behind.

'Finally, I've been waiting so long for this, killing all these fuckers!'

Sera impaled a soldiers from the air and flew on. In the air she turned and stabbed another. She went back and forth until all of them were dead. With no enemy currently near her, she went back to the wall to wait for Clockwork.

There was a shout coming from her left, turning toward them she saw a Bull of a man leading close to a thousand soldiers. Turning to the right she saw the other two Lieutenants leading another thousand soldiers.

But Sera wasn't surprised at all, she was even smiling. The reason for her mood was simple.

'Ohh Clockwork... You're right on cue!'

Suddenly every lamp, spotlight or any device on the main grid went dark. And in the dark everyone heard one sound, a woman shouting one word.

"FIRE!" With that all hell broke lose.
