Hell

       "Block higher!" I yell and receive a nod from Eryk, who is busy training the new recruits. Another hour of training passes. "You all have served the Ghouls for a year now." Eryk says to the rookies that passed the first year of training. "Now it's time to make a choice that will affect your life. Do you wish to stay with the Ghouls or leave and live your lives free of this group." Eryk says then points at me. "We have trained you and we will continue to train you if you choose to stay but know that if you do stay there will be attempts on your life." Eryk says then waits a minute. Out of the 50 rookies that passed the year of training more than 30 left. I look over the crowd. "You 15 who stayed will now be moved to the veterans building and face a ceremony tomorrow. Be ready for anything." I say. After all the new recruits leave. I turn to Eryk to see him talking with the leader of the Ghouls. He is a 5'5" man with white hair and is never seen without a mask that covers most of his face. "... they will try to attack again. It's only a matter of time." The leader says. "Send Nick, he seems to be able to handle himself in public and Ken if they attack I want to be notified immediately." Ken nodded and walked away. "What was that about?" I ask as I hug Eryk. "The usual. They still think they own this city." He says with a smile. "Those damn Ravens will not give up will they?" I say referring to the syndicate named Deaths Ravens, one of the most feared and hated in this area. "Yeah, they really don't like the Ghouls being here but enough of that did you notice something was off with one of the newbies?" He asks as he gives me a quick kiss. "The one who seemed to be watching everyone in the veteran group with interest? He could be the spy we heard about from Nick?" I ask. "No he seemed to be after info on the graduation, not how we train." I look over his shoulder to see smoke coming from the direction of the college. Then Ken runs to us and says, "Problem." Eryk teleports us three to the college where the students run to us. "They are back, help us!" Eryk looks over their shoulders to see a smoking crater in the ground. "What happened?" He asks. "They attacked with rockets!" "Rockets? Where in the hell did they get rockets... " Eryk is cut off as we turn to see a rocket heading for us. He quickly teleports us to the cafeteria where a bunch of students look in horror at us, but when they realize who we are, smile a bit. "Where are they shooting from?" Eryk asks. "Outside in the courtyard." The student's answer and I look over to see smoke covering the entire yard. "All of you stay here, that includes you and Ken." Eryk says and disappears. Then calls me a few seconds later. "Easiest way to do this. Put me on speaker and tell me where they are." "Fine but never do that to me again." I say and he laughs. I see him walking into the smoke and I hear explosions rocket the field. "What was that?" I ask. "Mines, and lots of them." He answers. "Can you last against them?" "If I had a tank yes." He says. "Your sarcasm is appreciated." I say. "FUCK!" He yells as I see him jump out of the smoke. "What now?" I say. "They have a tank." "You must be joking." I say as I see a tank roll out of the smoke. "No words." I say. "So you are the Crimson Satan, don't try to deny that fact only you would be able to dodge a rocket." A voice from the tank says. "So what if I am?" Eryk asks. "You will surrender to me and Deaths Ravens and disband the Ghouls. If not I will fire a shell at your location and at the school." Eryk laughs and says, "You really need to hear yourself. I will not surrender and you will not bomb that school." The voice laughs. "Ow well I tried." I saw a shell exploded on Eryks position. The tank's hatch opened and a man climbed out. "Looks like I win." He walks towards the smoke as if to lift the body out of it, but an armored hand that reminded me of a claw shot out and the smoke cleared to reveal Eryk fully armored out, not scratched. "You win? For you to do that you would need to kill me." Eryk says with a laugh. The man pales as he realizes Eryk is alive. "How? That was a high explosive shell designed to destroy tanks. HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?!" I hear the man scream. "I am not a tank and I am in armor so hard that tanks look like tin cans."
