The Burning saint: Ascended

What happened to earth.

Standing knee deep in the dead, the saint was looking at her map, searching for her other weapons. From the drone flying next to her, Jon explained, "We lost contact with Earth approximately 11 years and 3 months ago. Once a year we sent a ship in hopes of learning what happened, we lost contact with them too. after four attempts we stopped sending ships, it was presumed a suicide mission, there was no use wasting lives on it. The guns you use, they have design common for human weapons, they even use the same kind of ammunition..."

The saint Jumped into the air and flew two blocks to the south and landed on the roof of a building her map directed her to. From a door leading inside, she was shot, her armor cracked slightly, and in return the saint fired back with a hail of bullets. The demons were behind cover, so the bullets she fired only hit a wall, but it prevented them from shooting back. This gave the saint enough time to run up to the door they were hiding behind, kick it in and knock down the demon behind it. The saint stabbed her sword into the demon still standing, taking the rifle out of it's hands and using it to riddle the downed demon with bullets. The sword stabbed through the demon's spine, when she pulled it out, the demon fell on the ground. Seeing it still making an attempt to fight, the saint made sure to cut its head off to kill it properly.

The map was pointing two floors down. A moment earlier, while still flying, the saint saw another cargo ship, it was crashed in the side of the building. That was where she was going as she descended the staircase. She opened a door leading into the hallway of the floor with the crashed cargo ship and immediately several hellspawn sprinted towards her. Because of the narrow hallway, they had no way of getting around her and died quickly from being filled with metal, but there were smarter demons left standing behind corners at the end of the hallway, with guns in hand ready to shoot as soon as the saint entered their line of sight. She threw a fire ball between the them, the ones caught in the explosion were blown to bits, the rest were disoriented and before they knew what was happening, they were shot dead.

She entered the crashed cargo ship. The back of it was hanging out of the building. In its cargo hold, she found the crate that contained the weapon she was looking for. A drone, controlled by Jon Ming, entered the airship. Seeing that the saint had located another one of her weapons he said, "This assault rifle has a strong resemblance to the famous Russian weapon, AK-47. I asked you before, where did you get these weapons, I don't think you understood that I only wanted you to confirm my fears. So just look at this drone, and to answer my question, nod for yes and shake your head for no. Did the demons invade earth 11 years ago?" The saint looked at the drone, her helmet disappeared revealing her face, she didn't make any motion with her head, yet she was refusing to look at the camera.

She didn't get to answer properly because in that moment, the sound of a wall breaking down outside of the ship caught her attention. The saint ran to the cockpit to look out of the front window. Another wall broke down somewhere in the building, this time it was louder. It was a clear indication something was coming closer. Then a wall in front of the cargo ship broke down and the monster that crashed through it let out a furious roar. The saint opened fire with her newly acquired weapon and the ogre covered its face with its arm while rushing towards her. It rammed the ship full force, pushing it out of the building with the saint still inside. After crashing into the ground 3 floors down, within the wreckage, the saint was buried under piles of metal.

The ogre didn't have enough, it wanted to see a corpse, it jumped down after her, and started digging through the rubble, trying to find its prey. It felt an aura emitting from the wreckage, an aura that any demon hates, it knew it was the saint. The savage demon lifted a piece of metal to reveal the winged woman pinned to a wall by a pile of cargo crushing her arm, and with her armor damaged. The saint raised one of her guns to shoot, but her arm was grabbed by the ogre. It tried to pull her up, but because she was stuck all it did was break her shoulder. Unable to pull her up, the demon punched the saint in her chest, slamming her back into the wall behind her, breaking what was left of her armor and some of her bones. It immediately prepared another punch, but it was interrupted by a quick stream of flames shooting out of the saint's eyes into the eyes of the ogre. While the demon was blinded and yelling in pain, the saint used the last bit of the energy she had to melt the metal pinning her to the wall. With both of her arms broken, she ran past the ogre to get out of the wreckage. As soon as she leaped out of what resembles the front window of the cargo ship, she landed on a hellspawn whose head she kicked off before it even saw her. With the demonic energy flowing in her, she quickly healed her broken shoulders. The ogre broke out of the wrecked ship blindly swinging its arms. Not wasting time, the saint continuously shot the demon in the head with her assault rifle until it was dead.

The saint quickly ran inside a nearby building, cleared out the room, and killed any demon that followed her. She saw a camera in the corner, she walked up to it, and waved her hand. After receiving no response, her glove disappeared from her hand and she tried to rapidly tap on its lense. Jon responded, "I'm here, what is it?" The saint looked into the camera, not saying anything. Jon was not sure what she wanted and asked, "Do you want to continue our conversation?" The saint nodded and Jon asked again, "So then tell me, did they invade earth ten years ago?" Her answer was to step away from the camera, pressing her wings and back against the wall behind her and having her head hang low. Jon realized it was hard for her to deliver awful news like that, he sighed and said "I see..." Jon went silent for a moment as the saint tried to hold back her tears.

After a period of silence, the saint opened her map to look for her last weapon. Jon brought up something he thought might be important, "The man who brought you here..." The mention of him caught the saint's attention this time, "He was dressed in what looked like medieval armor, he didn't tell us his name, unless you can tell me what it is, I will refer to him as the Templar, because he was wearing armor of seemingly religious origin. After he delivered you to us, he told us to find a way to fix you, not making it a priority was the first of my many mistakes." Hearing about the Templar, the saint quickly soaked her arm in the blood of a dead demon, and with it she drew a word in a foreign language on the wall.

It took a moment for Jon to figure out what it meant, he said, "Right, your first language must be Italian, just like his. So you're asking asking where he is." The saint nodded and Jon answered, "He went back to the demon portal, he was trying to hold off as many demons as he could from getting to the colony, we sent a drone to follow him, but it was destroyed in the middle of all the fighting, the templar was alive the last time we saw him." The saint opened her map, and tried to look for the demon portal, Jon tried to reason with her, "I understand he means a lot to you, but I advise you to retrieve your last weapon before you make your next move, I saw him fight, he has superhuman capabilities, he has the skill to fight to his full potential and he has the will to take on any odds, I believe he can hold on until you have helped me save this colony."

The saint looked at the map once again, she slowly took her sight back to her current location, and from there she found the location of her final weapon. Knowing how eager the saint is to find her friend, Jon said, "Our survival rests on your shoulders. This is a delicate situation, there is no more room for error, I cannot take any more unnecessary risks, if you die, every human still alive in this colony will die as well. That is why I need you to be fully armed before we proceed, I am greatful for your cooperation."
