Stratford Siege 36

The entirety of Stratford was engulfed in a red, ever-expanding beam; John watched from a kilometre out as the glow was blinding.

John turned back as Ruven was already gone.

...

Slyas crushed the head of a green demon with piles of bodies around him, "Alright, this is getting too out of hand. Has anyone found Dunston?" He looked around as 10 gunmen were around him.

Elijah was first on the radio, "Negative Commander. We haven't seen a glimpse of him-" Suddenly, it was cut off, "John, Yosuke and Jette refused to give his location; they know I just couldn't go one against three."

Slyas smirked, "It's tragic, we'll get Dunston another time, prepping evac." He turned to his men, "We are getting the hell out!"

...

Ren spoke, "So what's your goal?" Dunston spoke, "Return to HS9 and confront Ruven." Stefon nodded, "Vice Commander, when that happens, we will not get in the way, sir."

...

"That Damn Bastard!" John said whilst rubbing his burst and bleeding eardrum. His ear started to heal slowly as the red flash got closer before evaporating away. He watched as the Demon Prince grew in size from 6 metres tall to 400 metres tall.
