Standing of mankind

Demons

Demons

     As I step down the steps of the church I am greeted with a female voice from my exoskeleton suit, warning Demon. I start to ask, “Location of the De…” and my words trail off.  Standing just straight ahead and about 100 yards away from me is a massive Demon at least 7 ½ feet tall and weighing about 500 pounds of muscle.

     Demons look similar to humans in appearance except their skin is the color of gray and their blood is yellow. They also have two genders types just like us, male and female. Many Demons are the size of humans however some are much, much larger. Demons speak their own language, nevertheless for some reason it is familiar to us and we can understand them.  The bigger and the more powerful Demons have taken out much of the world’s military forces. Month’s earlier people had watched their TV’s helplessly as aircraft, vehicles, warships, and solders were destroyed.

     The demon just stands there without making a sound and stares. I can see its razor sharp claws as it grips both hands on its axe. As the demon comes at me, I stepped to one side and smash the knuckles of my right hand into his face. It just shakes its head, “Die Human” the Demon says. The Demon chuckles, shifts it weight and brings its axe down on my right side, I let it come at me. I squat in place and lash out with a kick to its knee. I whip the chain from my Kusari-gama around the left leg of the Demon. With my enhanced strength I pull with all my might lifting the Demon off its feet and into the air. I quickly pull the chain in my direction, as the Demon is propelling back towards me, I slash it across its back.  A warning comes from my suit again; I look up and see several Demons headed my way.

     I turn back towards the massive Demon who had just removed the chain from around his leg. I had injured him severely, but I cannot face him and the approaching Demons all at once. He staggers when he tries to stand and I can see where bones show through his skin on his back. He is bleeding badly but I have noticed that the blood has started slowing down. He has now gotten to one knee, “flee human while you still can”. I look directly at him, “Are you sure it’s not you who does not want to die today?”

     With nothing left to say or do, I start my motorcycle and ride off. The massive Demon is now standing tall and raises his axe above his head and yells, "Soon very soon all of you worthless humans will be gone forever!"
