   The newcomers ripped through the horde of monsters easily. Their weapons were obviously MUCH more effective than mine. The beasts fell like pushovers against them.
Strangely, I noticed that they each had a different color scheme as well. Red, white, black, and yellow were the dominant colors they exhibited. I watched them for a moment, studying their weapons and apparel.

   The yellow themed girl wore a tan vest with gold piping over a yellow, cleavage-and-midriff baring shirt. Around her neck was an orange scarf and around her waist were black shorts under a belt, which from the back, resembled a pleated skirt.
Her footwear consisted of brown, mid-calf platform boots that looked like leather. She also donned finger-less black gloves.
   Her weapons, which were like two yellow mechanized gauntlets, went over the gloves. They fired what appeared to be shotgun rounds when she punched. She fought like a brawler and it was overly apparent to me that she was outstandingly strong. She sent one of the bear-like monsters flying with her shotgun powered punches.
   I would not want to go toe to toe with her in close quarters.
Her hair was loose and messy, falling down her back all the way to her waist. Its blonde color went well with her pale complexion and unusual lilac eyes.

   My gaze shifted to the black themed girl next to her. She had long, curly black hair, and her eyes were amber, complimented by a light purple eye shadow flaring backwards. Atop her head was a black laced bow. She also wore black pointed heeled shoes and stockings that started off black at her hips, but gradually faded to purple as they near her shoes.
   There were black wristbands on both of her arms, and on her right arm she wore a detached sleeve. Covering her midsection she had a black buttoned vest with coattails that exposed part of her midriff, and a white, sleeveless undershirt with white shorts. She also had a detached scarf-like collar around her neck.
   Her weapons resembled a cleaver and a katana. As I watched, the katana folded down to its handle and somehow turned into a pistol. The edge of the blade protruded from the opposite end of the barrel while folded. The girl then threw it in this form, anchoring it with a ribbon wrapped around her wrist and the trigger of the pistol. It seemed she could fire the pistol even while it swung around on the ribbon. The edge of the katana on the pistol could also cut and do serious damage with her swinging it around as expertly as she was. She was definitely dangerous.

   The white dressed girl wore a pale blue, almost white bolero jacket over a similarly colored thigh-length dress with a piece of black lace making up the neckline of the dress. The inside of the bolero was red and the sleeves turned blue as they got closer to her wrists. She also had a necklace with a single jewel and had thin, rectangular earrings. She wore white, wedge-heeled, mid-calf boots and a small tiara that resembled icicles. Her long hair was white and pulled back in an off-center ponytail. She had a very pale complexion and ice-blue eyes. She also bore a crooked scar down her left eye.
Her weapon was no doubt a rapier but it seemed to have an almost elemental power about it. It exhibited ice, fire, and other properties that were used to their full potential against the horde of demonic creatures. She fought very gracefully and with poise, leading me to believe she was of nobility.

So far each of them looked about my age, (which I assumed was about 18) if not a little younger, but the final one dressed in red, definitely looked much younger, maybe 15.
She was dressed in a red cloak, black blouse, and a skirt with red trimmings. Her entire apparel was made up of various shades of red and black, with black dominating on the main suit. The part of her clothing that stood out the most was her red hooded cloak which was attached over her shoulder with pins that resembled small crosses. Her short black hair even had dark red-streaks at the tips.
Around her waist was a belt which held large bullet cartridges in individual loops, a magazine pouch, and a symbol that resembled a rose.
She was small but she moved incredibly fast compared to the others, and definitely faster than me.
Her weapon...
