The fallen.

Chapter 1

A FEW DAYS EARLIER

It was a sunny Sunday afternoon in the city of Xhar and on one of the many high rise buildings lining the sky, Celio Maybach, a young Japanese-American boy with white shoulder length hair and crystal blue eyes ,sits atop an air vent his headphones on his head constantly blasting 80's hip-hop into his ears, a sketch pad with the image of a pretty young lady on it lies on the ground beside him and his eyes were fixed on a cellphone in his hands without taking as much as a glance upward. Perhaps it was for this reason that he didn't immediately notice the sudden darkening of the sky followed by the gathering of dark storm clouds over head. He begins to hear the subtle rumbling of thunder in the skies then he lifts his gaze upward
"What the... A storm's definitely coming , it's the peak of summer ,why is a storm coming?"
His train of thoughts is suddenly broken by a massive streak of lightning approximately 15km due west , immediately creating a huge fire there
"Oh this ain't normal"
He quickly takes his sketch pad and runs toward a nearby door which leads inside the building , almost falling as he does so. Before he gets to the door ,he suddenly finds himself frozen in place mid-stride. Unable to move any part of his body at all.
"What's happening?" He says to himself before finally blacking out.

****
Hours will pass ,the thunder storm continues , wrecking most of the city who's entire inhabitants where unable to move also.
In the middle of all this chaos, thick dark clouds begin to swirl in the sky forming a vortex where thousands of volts of electricity gather , preparing to strike the face of the Earth. It won't take much longer as within a split second ,the largest bolt of lightning ever seen descends, connects the heavens to the Earth instantly , creating a huge crater and vanishing immediately , leaving in it's wake ,a thick smoke cloud which covers most of the city. Out of that smoke , marching like a pack of Spanish Conquistadors, 4 men and a woman wearing all black body fitted clothing are seen ,their faces shrouded in the smoke. They stand staring at the destroyed terrain regarding it silently until one of the men let's out a loud sigh
"Are you sure this is the place?"
The woman Snickers and leaps a whopping 67ft into the air , landing on top a roof on her knees before standing to her full height ,she says with a hoarse and sarcastic voice.
"I find your lack of faith disturbing. Indeed this is it, the location of the veil between this world and the nether"
Another of the men walks ahead of them ,out of the smoke revealing his perfectly toned face with jet black eyes on dark skin and short black spiky hair. He bears a permanent wicked grin on his face and cracks his knuckles against each other
"Well then.... Shall we begin with a hunt?"
The man who spoke earlier also comes out of the smoke. His face aside from his golden brown eyes was completely hidden by a black mask , his eyes hold absolutely no emotion and he gazes at nothing in particular.
"I don't care what you do. Be at the rendezvous point before dusk ,or there will be consequences"
The grinning man grins further and his eyes thin
"Whatever you say"
As he says this ,the other four disappear into thin air leaving him alone. He looks around at the inhabitants of the city in their paralysed state.
"A hunt won't be fun if the prey can't move ,will it?"
His black eyes Shimmer for a second then suddenly everyone in the city regains their consciousness and ability to move.
One emotion blazes through all their minds at the same time.... TERROR!
As if on cue ,they give in to pandemonium , running in all directions while screaming at the top of their voices.
He takes a deep breath and heaves a sigh of relief.
"Oh those terror filled shrieks, music to my ears"
