Thread: The Fate of the world is in our hands (Max and I)

It had been exactly four years since demons had taken control of earth. The strongest ones marked their territories and rarely ever left them. These demons were the best of the best, and gathered their weaker brethren and created armies. With the humans on the run or hiding, they began focusing their attention more on their own internal affairs. Though that didn't mean they would allow the human race to grow into what it once was again right under their nose. Most demons did kill a human on site. That or bring them to their layer. Some territories had human farms. Though it was currently unknown why demons chose to imprison and breed humans currently. Most people assumed it was just to feed their strongest. Evelynn Delacroix wanted to investigate this matter further, and more urgently help the humans who had no shelter or protection. She was a high ranking officer and one of the best bioengineered soldiers that the EHSEastern Human Settlement Council had. Of course, her request to leave the settlement to help these people was denied. Their prerogative was to have her lead the defense and watch team against any threats that may come their way. The officials of this particular settlement thought they were the answer to the all humanity's problems, and if they fell the entire human race would too. All Council officials in every human settlement was like this. They would often communicate to each other through encrypted video transmissions and one up each other in terms of what technology breakthroughs they had achieved. It was honestly sickening. Just like the demons had their eternal struggles and surprisingly politics, the colonized humans did too. Meanwhile, the defenseless nomads wandering around the continent just wanted to survive. The ones who had families were even in worse positions, watching their children fall prey to demons after wandering off too far. Evelynn had her reports of children as young as twelve being trained to fight to survive. Whatever technology break through these people wanted was none of her concern. She became a soldier to protect people, and that's what she was going to do. EHS alone had over one hundred bioengineered soldiers. They could do without her. Then there was that matter...that woman Lucia Belrose . The woman who somehow managed to forge her compatability paperwork in order to go through the DHHDemon Human Hybrid procedure. That girl had less than a ten percent compatibility rate, but still she went through it knowing that she may be taken over by the demonic cellular structure and DNA that would be placed inside of her body. Somehow, though...somehow she managed to keep her humanity. Even so, once the scientist found out what her real compatability rate was, they locked her away to study. It has been nearly a month, and she showed no signs of losing herself. Still, they didn't plan to let her go. They just wanted to put her through more experiments. Today, however, was Lucia's lucky day. Being an officer, Evelynn had access to her cell, which was a room reinforced with adamantium and bullet and element proof glass. Evelynn had a master key that she intended to use. It was night time and the security was lax in the area because she had ordered them to different posts. So when she scanned her key, the door opened and she didn't fear anyone seeing. Lucia looked up to Evelynn and grinned. To what do I owe the pleasure? She asked with a grin. Evelynn simply put her finger to her lips and then gestured for her to get up. Lucia did this hesitantly, the chains wrapped around her arms and legs rattling. When Evelynn attempted to take them off, Lucia yanked her hands away. Not these. I can use these for weapons. Evelynn gave the strange woman a confused look, but they didn't have time for this. Fine, let's go. She whispered before turning and starting to run down the corridor. Lucia followed close behind, not knowing what this woman wanted but being grateful for not being in that small room anymore. She thought she had proved that she was more than capable of handling demon DNA within her body despite her low compatibility rate. Maybe this woman saw that. She looked familiar, but Lucia didn't know her name. It seemed like they were taking every back path they could, and Evelynn knew exactly where and where not to go. She had been planning this for a month. What made it hard was Lucia, but she knew that she would be a good ally. She remembered hearing her reason for risking her humanity for this procedure. She wanted to avenge her mother, who hadn't made it four years ago. She wasn't physically capable of undergoing the bioware procedure to turn her into a bioengineered soldier, so she opted for this method instead. Evelynn finally stopped now they were outside of the building that contained their lab facilities. Since most of the guards were stationed at every exit of the East Settlement, they didn't really have much to worry about being seen wandering the underground facility. Most people were in their houses, asleep. So she went to the south exit where only one guard was stationed. She told Lucia to hide behind some stacked up supplies while she talked to him, using her authority to send him away. She claimed that he was needed at the north exit and she would take over the south. As soon as he left, Lucia ran out from hiding and she grinned. I see, we are leaving? That's fine. I've been wanting to see the outside world for a while. Good. We're going to do what God intended us to do when he forsake us...we're going to help our fellow man by ourselves. These people don't care about anyone but themselves, and I didn't go through all that pain and training just to be sitting out here and waiting for demons to come to us. Evelynn continued to speak lowly even while they were technically in the clear. The underground passage was dark, but thankfully the now AWOL soldier had planned ahead and brought a flashlight. Eventually the path began to rise as they got closer and closer to the surface.
