In the wrecked streets of the colony, with sound of guns and explosions, the saint was carving a bloody path through unholy creatures of hell. With red eyes and a sick smile on her face that she wasn't even aware of. A silent voice in her head kept telling her, "kill! Kill everything! Make them suffer! I want them all dead!" There she stood, surrounded by dead demons, her once beautiful clothes now drenched in the blood of her enemies. Her eyes lit up when a massive dragon emerged from behind a building. She was excited to hear the sound of something so big hitting the ground.
The dragon took a deep breath and the saint ignited her arm. Both unleashed a massive stream of fire that collided in the between them. The souls of dead demons flowed through the angel maintaining her power. Soon enough, the dragon was out of breath, and the saint threw a fire ball in its mouth before it closed. The dragon recoiled from the blast and flew up in the sky to create distance between itself and its opponent. The saint could've used any of her guns to disable its wings, but there was no fun in that, so she drew her sword and flew after the airborne beast, dodging fire as it came her way. She flew right past the dragon's head, got on its back, and with one swing, the dragon lost one of its wings making it spiral towards the ground. After crashing through a building, leaving a hole in it, with torn electric wires sparkling and broken pipes leaking water. The dragon got up from the rubble, looking in the sky, searching for its enemy. It didn't see the saint anywhere, because she had already landed, and stabbed her sword through one of its four legs. After the dragon roared in pain, it jumped and sent a wide breath of fire towards her, but missed completely as the saint was already stabbing it in another leg.
The dragon fell to the ground, still trying to fight, it opened its mouth to breath more fire, but the saint quickly sent her own fire down its throat, destroying its insides. As the dragon was rendered unable to fight, looking at the saint with the same fury as all demons look at her, still struggling in vain to make any movement that would kill her. The saint raised her sword, her face covered in blood of demons, her eyes red, the voice in her head was now saying, "This one is big! That means there's a lot of guts to spill! Make sure it feels it!" She stabbed the sword deep inside the dragon's body and relished in its screams of pain. While this was happening, a drone approached her, from which Jon tried to tell her, "You're wasting time! This demon is defeated, you need to move, now!"
He continuously tried to get her attention and was ignored as the saint kept torturing the dragon. Jon decided to try a more aggressive approach and shot some electricity in her head. The immediate reaction was that she smashed the drone with a quick swing of her arm. After which her maniacal expression turned to shock. The saint quickly stabbed her sword through the dragons' head and flew inside the building she just wrecked. She got up to one of the leaking water pipes and washed the blood off her face. Her blood soaked clothes were engulfed in a blue light and they all turned clean. On a wall of the room she was in, the saint saw a mirror. She took a second to look at her reflection. She stood in glamorous pose, spread out her wings, her eyes turned blue. Seeing herself refreshed and clean of demon blood put a more gentle smile on her face. A new drone flew near her, with Jon asking, "Have you come to your senses yet? You have wasted so much time, I have to wonder if you even care about stopping this invasion, or seeing your friend alive."
The saint approached the drone, grabbed it, and held it to her chest as if to give it a hug. Jon was confused and asked, "Is this you saying sorry? It is somewhat hard to tell when you never speak. If you are apologizing for breaking the other drone, you shouldn't worry about that, I have plenty of them. According to the pattern I've observed, the demons are not interested in the fighting, as much as they are interested in killing my staff and livestock, which is why they ignore these drones as long as I don't attack them."
The saint summoned her armor and flew into a roof of a nearby building. Jon asked, "do you still remember where you're supposed to go?" Looking at the map, the saint pointed at a large building to in the center of the colony. Jon confirmed, "Yes, the command center. You need to activate emergency defense systems. I'll give you further instructions when you get there." The saint leaped into the air and flew off.
