Yeah, we still believe in all the things that we stood by before.
I know, to everything we've seen here, maybe even more.
I know we're not the only ones and we were not the first.
And unapologetically we stand behind each word.
Ok I guess ill give this a try.
"Are you ok my son?"
Johns eyes slowly opened. He was lying in a soft white fluffy substance and there was a old man knelling beside him."Wha?" John said. "Dont worry," the old man said, "Your safe now."
And then John remembered..
3 weeks ago he was just a normal man who owned a resturant and was in the army reserves. Then it all started. In one day massive sink holes started opening up all over the world. First in the capital citys of countrys and then in other major citys. The world held its breath as everyone waited to see what would happen next. Then after a few days, just as everyone was calming down, they came.
Demons, armys of them, flooded up from the ground and the slaughter began. At first no one knew how to fight them becuase bullets and knives didnt hurt them. You needed to carve a cross into your knives and dip your bullets in holy water. Thats what would hurt them. One by one citys fell as there almost unstoppable armys pressed on. Eventally olny a few citys were left. One of them being New York, the city John lived in. The citizens of New York managed to beat back the demons and seal the sink hole they came out of. Even with all this going on John was surprised and happy to see his resturant still getting customers. One day when John was cleaning tables a wide eyed man rushed in. "There comeing!" He screamed, "There right outside the city!" "What?" John asked but before he could get an answer the man rushed out the door screaming his message to everyone he saw. "This cant be good." John muttered to himself. "I better go get my gun." But before he could do that 3 men in army uniforms walked into the store. "Can I help you?" John asked. One of them, who John could swear hes seen before, looked at him and asked, "Are you sergeant John Sweeny?" "Yes," John answered, "Why?" The man said, "Im Major Brian Mingolelli, and command just ordered all people in the reserves to go back on duty." Brian smiled grimly, " Its time to fight."
1 hour later John and Brian were armed and on a helecopter on there way to a forward command post. "So were are we going?" John asked while holding his weapon uncomfertably. "Were going to see command. There gonna give us our orders. I forgot to ask this earlyer but do you have a cross or something like that around your neck?" "Uhh yeah why?" John said wile pulling out the cross attached to the chain around his neck. "Good," Brian said, "Leave it out of your uniform because when demons see it they lose moral and are easyer to kill. Well this is our stop. Time to go get orders."
There orders were short and sweet. And soon they were deployed with 4 more men to a forward recon position with Brian as commander. There job was to monitor and report the movements of the demon army. And if the army started to advance on the city, take as many of the demons out as they could before the position was overrun. They were "Expendable", and everyone knew it.
The first 3 days were normal, and because of that, boreing. But then the 6 men stationed at that base saw the biggest and baddest looking demon theve ever seen. "What the hell is that!?" John said. "I dunno man, but its nothing good." Said a soldier whos name John didnt know. Brain reported it in and command zeroed in on it with a satelite. A voice came from the radio, "Uhh guys we think this guy is the demons commander." "Whats his name?." Brian asked? "Well hes got many names from many differnt religions." The radio said. "You cant possibly mean.." John said. "Yes we do, to the Christian religion this man is known as Satan."
They watched Satan for a few more days, reporting every move he made to command. He seamed to be getting the demons fired up for something, something big. They spent the rest of the day wondering what it was and the next day they got there answer.
The day started out normaly. The men takeing 2 hour shirts watching Satan. Then about half an hour into Johns watch, Satan pointed his finger right at the recon post. And with a deafening roar, they charged. "Jesus Christ!" Jophn screamed. Brian rushed in. "What is it?." He asked. John was speechless and could only weakly point his finger in the demons derection. Brian looked were he was pointing and went pale. "Crap," he muttered, "Ok dont panic I'll go tell the other guys then radio command, they will send a helecopter and get us out of here."
10 minutes later the whole squad was at the windows fireing out of the house at the army of demons. "WERE THE HELL IS COMMAND?" John screamed over the sound of gun fire and roaring demons. "I DONT KNOW THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE 5 MINUTES AGO!" Brian yelled back. Then there was an explosion down stairs and demons flooded into the house. Through a daze John saw his squadmates fall one by one as the demons cleared the house. Then he heard a scream and looked over just as Brian was geting stabbed by a demon. Brian looked back at John, smiled grimly then pulled out a grenade. It exploaded flinging John across the room. He landed and was trying to get up just as a demon stepped on his chest. John looked up and found himself looking into the face of Satan himself. John pulled out his cross and heard a roar of pain. Then he pulled out his pistol and shot Satan in the head. Just as the shell flew out of the gun John heard a might explosion, felt a sharp stab of pain, and then everying went dark.
To be continued...
Well guys what do you think? Should I continue it?
