1 So it begins

The trees rush by with sounds of wind passing by at high speeds. Four figures with black tattered hoods drop from the trees faces obscured by shadows made from the cloth. A teenage boy and girl skid to a stop, the two teenagers identical twins the boy with a mesh shirt black camo-pants tucked into six inch combat boots. The girl despite the weather wore a parka with white fur in the hood and arctic camo pants. Both their feature rugged caramel skin with white hair and sunken eyes thanks to years on the run, are confronted by the four hooded beings. All parties panting and gasping for air the boy let's out a grunt of exhaustion and panting through words the boy says

"Damn it not again! We don't have time for this Angel. Looks like we'll have to fight through again."

Angel nods and takes a fighting stance one hand balled into a fist with her palm layer flat against it the boy taking his own stance by unsheathing the sword on his back making the metal sing as he placed it in front both hands holding it in place. The hooded remove their hoods to reveal angular head horns just barely bigger than nubs above the eyebrow line. All is quiet the group of demons and the two teens in place studying who would make the first move. The demons charge forward with sickles and broken half swords in hand. Angel conjures an ice katana moving her palm slowly from her closed fist frost cooling the air around it. Angel's twin is the first to intercept in and Angel follows his lead. The first demon rushes the boy.

The boy slide-tackles the demon the force of opposing forces makes the demon sickle in hand tumble through the air. Angel conjures fire kunais with her left and throws them straight at the demon's head hoping for a quick easy kill, with no such luck In mid-air, the demon positions himself to face Angel the demons cheeks swell spits water at a high velocity steam rises and surrounds angel and the demon.

The other demons run toward the steam. The boy uses his sword as a barricade to block the other three demons. "Your problem is with me." The boy yells with conviction revealing a mischievous grin

The boy forces the demons back, they skid to a stop and surround the boy. A bold demon rushes forward without a second thought quickly side steps drives his knee into the stomach and follows up with a sickening elbow to the head crumbling to the ground. One of the two remaining demons rush the boy from behind as he resets his stance he falls to one knee and thrusts the sword behind him sinking he blade deep into the demon blood running down the blade pooling onto the floor.

The force of the demon being impaled clears the steam surrounding Angel and reveals her enemy suspended a pained expression in ice. Angel releases and exacerbated sigh seeing the carnage around her looks at her brother

"Virgil, what did you do?"

Virgil deflects and parries the last demon with his sword not putting in much effort looks over to his sister "You know just fighting demons. Same things that we have been doing all day"

Virgil thrusts his leg outward kicking the demon just below the knee causing it to fall heavily onto the floor Virgil thrusts his sword into its heart. Blood gushes out of the wound as Virgil removes his sword. Angel simply shakes her head teasing her brother

"So violent! Can't you spare one every now and then."

As they banter back and forth five hooded figures reveal themselves from their hiding spot in the shadows. To which Virgil responds

"Are you serious?! We have no time for this crap!"

One of the figures takes out a pistol and shoots fire bullets at the twins. Angel steps in front of her brother throwing her hands down to the dirt below them creates an ice dome. The shield holds strong for a couple hits the dome vibrating with every impact

"Okay Angel we can't just sit here all da-"

He was unable to get the last syllable out as the fire bullets break through. One passes by Angel and heads straight towards Virgil. He slices the bullet in half at the last second simply putting his sword in front of his face letting the bullet cut itself. The bullet splits igniting the trees to the twins following the shrapnel giving the assailants just the opening they need for advantage one of the cloaked strangers thrusts a hand out creating a white light around Angel and Virgil. Shocked by the strength of the light Virgil loses his grip on his sword letting it fall.

Angel sees this thinking

"Damn not the sword…"

As the sword plants itself tip first into the dirt she eyes the group of cloaks in front of them

"Like he said, we don't have time for this! Release us!"

"Shut up."

The last thing Angel and her twin saw was tow green stones making a beeline towards
