Of Angels and Demons: A New Generation

Last Salvation Company

"Can you both cut it out? You're giving me a headache and you're both creeping out the new recruits." I hear a man grumble from behind us. I quickly look back to see a man with curly blonde hair staring at us. He's sitting in a chair with his legs crossed, almost upset to see Moxi and I. "Fallyn, Attira, introduce yourselves properly." He says quietly as he closes his eyes. The man and woman in front of me quickly stand up straight and perfectly still. The man steps forwards. "My name is Fallyn Marris, I am second in charge for this group. I am 25 years old and humbly welcome you both to the Last Salvation Company." he says loudly and clearly. As he finishes speaking, the woman takes a step forward. "My name is Attira Helbas, I have been in this company for almost a single year. I am 21 years old and I ecstatically welcome you to the Last Salvation Company." She says proudly as I hear the man behind us stand up. "My name is Lastis Corrigan, I am the Captain of this team. I am 22 years old, and I expect you both to carry your weight." He says coldly. Moxi and I quickly stand up. "My name is Moxi Almathross, I am 17 years old, and I just really hope to have fun while I'm here." Moxi says carelessly. Lastis quickly shoots Moxi a dirty look. "Uh, my name is Malick Necrum. I am also 17 years old." I say as Lastis walks up to me. "And your reason for joining the DAHC?" He asks calmly while staring at me coldly. "I was sent here as a punishment for making Raven from the DAA mad. Or, more truthfully, I'm guilty by association because Moxi is the one who pissed him off." I say with a smile as Lastis looks at Moxi. "You made Raven mad? And somehow you survived? Then I'd say you are both lucky." He says as Moxi laughs. "Lucky my ass, he's a defender of earth, he wouldn't lay a hand on a human." Moxi says confidently. "If you're in a company, you aren't so much a human anymore." Lastis says as I feel a hand on my back. As I look over my shoulder, I see Attira feeling my body. "He's very strong, even though he looks weak. I can feel his individual muscles quite clearly. You, Malick, have a very defined physique." She says as she bites her lip and stares at my back. "So, are they always this weird?" I ask Lastis as he sighs. "Sadly, yes. But they are excellent fighters." He replies as I look at Fallyn, who has closed his eyes and started sleeping standing up. "FALLYN!!" Attira yells as he jumps up and sticks to the ceiling. My eyes widen as I see his fingernails have grown out into almost 2-inch-long claws and have dug into the ceiling a bit. "Fallyn, what are you doing?" Lastis asks from behind me. "Sorry, I guess I got too bored. Just get on with the orientation already." He mumbles as he drops to the floor. "Right." Lastis mumbles as he starts walking towards a door. "All of you, follow me." Lastis says as Moxi and I quickly follow behind him. He leads us through a series of rooms and then outside. As we exit the building, I see a large grassy area. "This is where we will test you. We have to make sure you weight the squad down." Lastis says as he crosses his arms. "You both will be doing 2 on 1 fights. Both of you will fight Fallyn, then Attira, then lastly me. As long as you can land a hit on each of us, we'll know you can at least hold your ground." Lastis says as Attira sits on the grass beside him. Fallyn stands in front of us and puts his hands in his pockets. "Start whenever you're ready." Latis says as Moxi sprints towards Fallyn. As Moxi starts attacking him, I run around behind him and throw a punch at his shoulder. As he starts to side step, Moxi and I throw kicks towards him, pinching him between us. He jumps off the ground as I see Moxi smile. "Predictable!" Moxi yells as I duck. Moxi punches him in the stomach and he gets knocked back a few feet. Fallyn lands on his feet and dusts off his stomach. "They aren't bad." I hear him mumble as Attira stands up and smiles. "I'm going to fight back, just to touch that body of yours." Attira says while staring at me creepily. I quickly recoil in disgust and fear then shiver a bit. "Here I come!" She yells as she runs toward us. As she throws an overhand punch toward me, I try to roll out of the way. As I get back to my feet, she already has her hands on my shoulder. "Ooh, rugged shoulders. You feel sculpted, you must work out!" She says as I swing at her in a mild panic. While she's dodging me, I see Moxi jumping towards her from behind. "So cute." She says as she drops to the ground. I see Moxi's eyes widen slightly as he falls onto me and takes us both to the ground. "Act injured." I hear him whisper as he starts to roll off of me. Without thinking, as he rolls off of me, I forcefully dislocate my right shoulder. As I lay down on the ground grunting in pain, I see Attira looking at me with a hint of shock in her eyes. My shoulder heals and the pain goes away, but I keep acting like I'm in pain. As she runs over to me and sits next to me, I look at her. "Let me see your shoulder." She demands while staring at me. I move my hand away from my shoulder as she reaches for it. I quickly use my right arm and grab her wrist as she gets inches from my shoulder. "Game." I say as she laughs. "Really? Why would grabbing my wrist make me think you've won? You just used a dirty tactic." She says while smiling. "Take a look at the situation you're in." I say as I her eyes widen. As she jerks her head to look back, Moxi's fist stops an inch from her face. "Carelessness on the battlefield will result in injury." Moxi says as I do a kick up and land on my feet. "Alright Lastis, your turn to lose." Moxi says as I smile.  I thought that this company would be stronger than this. I think as Lastis pops his neck.
