Of Angels and Demons: A New Generation

Ayumi Vs. The Generals

"What, no! Stop!" I yell as I roll out of the bed I'm on, finally noticing I'm not in Last Salvation's base. "Where am I?" I ask as Daive, Cherry, Nixon, Sheeva, and Vale all glare at Ayumi. "Can you all cut it out and explain to me what's happening?!" I yell as Vale looks at me. "Don't trust her, she's using you." Vale says as Ayumi balls up her fists. "I'm using him?! You are all lying to him! You are keeping him from the truth!" Ayumi yells as she grabs me and teleports outside. "Malick, they want me dead, please allow me to end them." Ayumi says as they appear behind her. "I give you permission to defend yourself, but don't kill anyone!" I yell as she sighs and stands up. As I look behind her, I see everyone wielding their own weapons. Daive has a large sword, Cherry has two daggers, Nixon has his guns, Vale has his longsword, and Sheeva is wielding a large, silver scythe. Ayumi quickly summons a short sword and holds it straight out to her side. In the blink of an eye, the landscape changes. Chunks of earth ripped from the ground and flung high above me. Small hills and chunks of forest around me seemingly disappear from reality. Flames stretch large into the air as shockwave after shockwave echo for miles around us. "So, this is the strength of generals?" I whisper to myself as I see Ayumi blocks all of the generals at once. Cherry and Daive are blocked with one hand, while Nixon is pinned under Ayumi's right foot. She's holding Vale's blade between her teeth and holding Sheeva's scythe with one hand. Time seemingly freezes as they all stare at each other. As Nixon raises his gun and takes aim at Ayumi's face, a shot of blue energy comes from behind me and knocks everyone away from each other and leaves a thirty-foot crater. Ayumi and the generals quickly look past me as I do as well. A woman with long silver hair coming down to her knees is staring at all of us. She has a black and blue suit with ornate metal pieces, high-rise black boots, and a metal chain on her hip. "Little brother, what is this?" She asks as Nixon appears at her looking terrified. "She was a threat to society! She was going to kill everyone!" Nixon insists as she slaps him. Nixon rips through several miles of a forest where she slapped him. "To me, it seemed you all instigated." She says as she vanishes. A loud blast causes me to look towards everyone else. Sheeva is on her knees, with a large hole through her stomach, with that woman standing behind her. "I gave up my position to you?" The woman says as she teleports to Ayumi and pats her shoulder. "Sorry, they seem to be tense. Not all humans are as ignorant as these." The woman says as Vale quickly gets on one knee and bows to the woman. Cherry and Daive quickly do the same as she stares at them. "I'm not coming back to the DAHC, but feeling all of the general's energy in one place, fighting. My curiosity was peaked." She says as Sheeva heals and stands up. "Sinclair, your strength always impresses me." Sheeva says as Ayumi teleports to me. "Malick, I'm glad you were not hurt." She says as she smiles. I watch as Sinclair scolds all of the generals. "But his energy spiked beyond what we could explain!" Daive says as Sinclair kicks him several hundred feet away. "Kai's energy almost grew six hundred thousand times in one day, yet someone else growing a few thousand times stronger is hard to believe?" Sinclair asks as she quickly looks to me. She teleports to me and kneels next to me. "I apologize that their carelessness has put you in danger." Sinclair says as Ayumi laughs. "Malick was in no danger, I was protecting him." Ayumi says as Sinclair looks at her. "You seem to be very strong; I never quite caught your name." Sinclair says as Ayumi looks at her. "Ayumi Tiamat." She says as Sinclair looks her up and down. "I don't remember you ever being around Kai, so where did you come from?" Sinclair asks as Ayumi looks at me. "I am following Malick, for we are sworn to mate." Ayumi says as I blush and look away and fumble over my words. "I never. I don't recall ever saying that I would one hundred percent do what you say." I say as Sinclair chuckles. "As amusing an answer as that is, it didn't answer my question." Sinclair says as I hear a click. Ayumi and I look up to see Sinclair pointing a gun at Ayumi's face. "I have sworn to defend Kai's ideals in his absence. If you plan to harm any humans, I will kill you." Sinclair says as I get forced to the ground by Sinclair and Ayumi's energy. "I will only hurt the human race if Malick instructs me too." Ayumi says, not even reacting to the gun aimed at her face. "Is that so." Sinclair mumbles as she aims her gun at me. "So even if I kill him, you won't hurt the human race? Since he did not tell you to?" Sinclair asks as Ayumi vanishes and reappears with Nixon in her arms. She has her nails pressed firmly against his neck. "You kill Malick, I kill your brother, then you, then this world." Ayumi says as they glare at each other. "I don't mean to intrude, but." A familiar voice echo around us. As Sinclair and Ayumi blink, a man quickly has Sinclair on the ground. "Was there really any need to antagonize these people?" The man says as his long blue hair blows in the breeze. "Sorry, Velon." Sinclair says as Velon looks at me. "Hey I remember you; you were the kid who picked a fight with Raven." Velon says as he lets Sinclair stand up. Ayumi lets Nixon go as I stare at Velon. "How many unbelievably strong people are there?" I mumble as everyone looks at me.
