"Oi! Oi! Oi!" The predator called out to himself as he trekked through the dense plant foliage of the swampy terrain. The sun was ablaze overhead as the eerie cries of bloodthirsty demons echoed through the massive swamp. Ceev's goal was a very simple one: Make sure no one leaves this hellish soggy area alive. Why? Because apparently these individuals choose to upraise against the good that is the rebellion. Of course how he disposed of the trash was up to his own discretion. Maybe he'd curbstomp these individuals until their teeth lodge into their grey matter? Oh yes! Just the thought got the wolfs blood boiling. He could already hear the muffled screams of these poor saps as they gagged and suffocated on their own blood; their vision slowing fading to black as the excruciating pain and Ceev's crazed laughter would be the last thing they'd recall before departing to the life after. "Oh fuck yes!" The Wolf murmured to himself as he erupted through the last bit of the foliage. He found himself in a clearing; a clearing about twenty-five meters in a more or less 'perfect' circle of nothingness all around with Ceev being in the middle; standing on what seemed to be a protruding road; beaten path, perhaps? The swampy water seemed to go up to the ankles for those who stood within it. Despite the beckoning calls of the vicious demons, the titan remained ever so vigilant; ears, eyes, sight, and predator like reflexes at the ready. He continued his trek through the clearing and to the next patch of dense foliage...

It smelled heavily of earth as Sen's feet had trodden onto the wet grass. His eyes flitted to one side before another repeatedly as he cautiously held the crossbow. It was loaded with a single bolt ready to fly true into its final destination. The trigger finger itched as it rested in a sedentary manner beside the trigger. Each step ahead crunched the furry green of grass, bringing him further and further into the swamp. The noise was filled with the incessant sound of cicadas in the heavy atmosphere. Death is apparent in the air. The buzzing of flies over a rotting corpse made that obvious.

Sen gave it a passing glance as a bead of sweat traveled down the back of his neck with trepidation. Indeed it isn't the first time he has ever trudged through this area, but it always gave him the creeps with the lack of light. The mud squelched upon advancing as the soldier swatted away the various flies in his path. He didn't like this, nor did he ever intend to like this place when the threat of demons and the unknown will always exist here.

But that didn't mean he was completely vulnerable. After all, Sen did have his own demon to increase his chances of survival. Then there was dirty water glistening under what light existed under the groves of dead branches. Sen grimaced darkly at this. His mobility would be severely be cut down as he trudged through it. Yet, what choice did he have? After some hesitation, he slowly and carefully dropped down into the vast fluid. It was cold, but bearable for movement.

The smell of dirt was ever more apparent as he dunked down from waist below. He advanced, albeit slowly compared to land and fraught with even more risks. There would be no way to tell what was there in the obscurity of the brown swamp water and that worried him. Taking out his cellphone from its waterproof case, Sen gave one last look into the Program to view his demon's stats for a form of security at least. The LCD lighting from the electronic was a nice change from the ever dismal atmosphere of the swamp.

But it was time to get to work. With the phone safe back in the case, the crossbow wielder continued through his path with a stronger resolution to continue on this path.

"Time for work."

Irina had better things to do than risk her life getting through all this. However, she luckily was not alone in the issue, as she seemed to have an ally that was more than willing to give herself up for her. Either way, she would check her gauntlet and noticed of the four black buttons, one was white, containing the demon’s data within it that she had made allies with all those years ago. She will hopefully prove to be someone quite valuable in combat. She would press the button, allowing her demon, Ala, to come forth and appear beside her. “Interesting area we have here Master Irina. Never have I seen what lies beneath the mountains,” she said taking a few glimpses of the ground before looking back at Irina. Irina glanced at Ala for a second without changing her neutral expression. “You should probably stay outside the gauntlet more often. It could help you more than not,” she said. Ala bared her teeth, made of black smoke and turned ahead. “What about your friend?” Ala asked. Irina did not look at her, only ahead at the muddy area that lied before them. “I am sure she is quick, she will follow suit fairly shortly,” she said.

She would look behind her only checking to see if her comrade was there, before moving along the muddy pathway. Nothing was in sight really, but it could not hurt to be too careful, hence why she took Ala from her nap. In truth, she was horrified of having to fight other possible summoners. She would never admit it to anyone, but she called it lucky that this friend was able to join her. She could not but get more annoyed the further she walked away from where she began however. As assuming of the ally’s abilities as she was, she had never seen them herself, and was utterly cynical of them. She had no method of proving herself unless in battle, so her opinion of her may be on the lower end of the spectrum until proven otherwise. And even then she would rather not care. In the meantime, she would be on the lookout for any demons she may be able to talk down like she did with Ala. Ala on the other hand was itching for battle. “Shall we fight them and consume them Master?” she asked. “Not if we can convince them. What I have is not only for you you know,” she said, continuing on the trek down the pathway as Ala remained silent, scanning the area for possible enemies.

The water was dyed red up ahead, as what appeared to be a decapitated arm was blowing in the murky dark waters. Though they couldn't be seen, there were four demons swimming beneath the waist deep water, gnawing on the carcass of an unlucky human that ventured too far out from the city. The underwater demons resembled that of angler fish, however their maws were elongated and could be compared to elastic by how wide it could truly become. Their body was covered in black scales that reflected the water, making them practically invisible when deep within the swamps murky abyss. They were natural predators, and thus had evolved to where this swamp was their territory, and anything that wandered into their area was quickly devoured. They usually hunted in packs of four, but were relatively weak alone. However, when together they could devour a human easily, as seen with the unlucky soul that was now being feasted upon at the current moment. They had not yet taken notice of the other coming their way, but soon would if he continued to head into their territory.

Since Ceev failed to cover the required distance, he had his own troubles. When he left the clearing of the forest, a small pack of wolf like demons were hunting in the mud area to the right of his exit. Since he was within their range, they got a sniff of the air and immediately looked his way to see him heading the opposite way and turning a corner into the brush. The three pack wolf troop would begin to follow behind like the predators they were, leaving the mud filled area and chasing their prey through the forest that they knew so well. Using the trees as cover, they followed his scent as he continued his advance until he would stop. As he stopped, the leader of the pack, that was the size of a small truck and seemed to be a offbred of Fenrir, would look towards the two smaller demons and give the signal to move forward. These two demons nodded and began to circle around the area so they could put the human between them both. The larger alpha male watched this from behind a tree, awaiting its chance to pounce on the fresh meat. Humans were a delicacy to demons, and it was rare to find them outside those tall walls of their city.

Meanwhile, a pair of fairies hovered in the tree tops. They heard the movements in the forest to turn and see a human running their way. This was quite strange, as humans had hardly ventured outside their city, and they immediately found interest in making this human their pet. Now fairies, contrary to common belief, were not as nice as the stories told. They used demons for their energy and drained them of their spirit to keep up their out bountiful supply of energy. Looking towards each other, both fairies gave a smile before hovering over the area and looking down at the human. "Human! You've traveled such a long way to get here. We can be of service to you for a small fee. Give us some of your energy and we'll let you pass." The female fairy spoke with a polite voice as she hovered in the treetops, looking down at the human below. However, before he had a chance to answer her request, the demonic wolves would attack.

One would jump at his backside, attempting to his his blind spot, and would attempt to sink its teeth into his leg so he could not run. The other tried a frontal assault, jumping up at the man's neck with an attempt at biting and ripping his throat out. The pack worked together flawlessly, and the fairies continued to hover and watch the scene below them, quite curious of the results.

A female figure would fall from the trees above, landing perfectly in the mud. The woman's head would move left and right, studying her surroundings. Seeing as no one was there around her, she would hold up her gauntlet, looking at the bracelet on her wrists with one bead. Her opposite hand would move towards said bead and her fingers would slowly pinch the small bead. A loud cracking sound could be heard before a small robotic woman would slowly fade into view, and soon after the robotic female's friend. "Master, the ball and I are ready to protect you with the powers of the wind." The white haired girl would nod her head before speaking. "I would like to inform you that this will be our first battle together. You best not disappoint me, or else I will have to release you from our conjoined contract." The demon would nod her head and the sphere next to her would make a whirling sound as it orbited Orianna. GREO would begin to exit the block, walking forward a bit, the clockworks girl would quickly follow behind her. Looking to the ground, Gramos would notice foot prints, it seemed her temporally ally had gone ahead without her. Looking to her right, Eostos would spot a small chest in the distance; knowing her speed was something like a miracle, she knew she could catch up to the girl, maybe she could go towards this chest and see what's inside. "This way." As she ran towards the chest, her feet would slam into the mud, most likely leaving huge dents in it that were unrecognizable if you were to just stare at them for a few seconds. As she arrived to the chest, she would open it. What was inside, was unknown for the moment.

Black combat boots hit mud as Tex finally made his way through the swamp. No demons so far, well that was a good thing, though he was getting a little anxious. He did not like a boring outing into this hostile world, if he wanted to be bored, he would have taken up wall duty. No, he wanted to feel what the cowboys felt as they rode across the Wild West. Adventure, excitement, shoot-outs, and perhaps a little romance here and there. It's the Wild West after all, who knows what can happen. You had to keep your wits about you at all times, lest you die with a bullet in your brain or a tomahawk in your back. Tex would adjust his cowboy hat and give the scenery one last look before pressing a few buttons on his wrist.

Suddenly a tall female figure faded into view, she stood well above an average human height, wore a white fur dress, and held a rather grim looking scythe. Her other rather curious features involved silver lizard like eyes with slitted pupils, and scales that adorned her forehead and neckline. The demon looked around before finally looking down at the human that summoned. The Texas Ranger offered her a warm smile, before simply saying, "Afternoon, Priscilla, are ya' ready fer' another day of adventure?"

The demon, now known as Priscilla rose one of her eyebrows appraising Tex for a moment before replying, "Surely thou hast not summoned me to ask such a simple inquiry?" The cowboy would shake his head at her question, and gesture to the area around him. The half-dragon followed his gesture and observed the clearing around them. This place had more humidity and it was hotter than the place she was exiled to, it almost made her uncomfortable, however her dragon blood made such temperatures rather trivial. After taking in the environment she looked back to her summoner.

"Any of this here look familiar ta' ya'?" Tex would ask his companion, who merely shook her head.

"Thou hast forgotten that I have been exiled for many years. Why dost thou inquire about such information?" Priscilla asked Tex, who looked around, and scratched the back of his neck.

"Intelligence gatherin' of course, get a feel fer' the environment." At this point, Tex could have sworn that he saw the faint trace of a smile on Priscilla's lips, but he knew better. Priscilla's heart was as cold as the place he found her in.

"Thou hast the mind to seek advice or information? Surely you jest?" There was absolute seriousness in her voice, and Tex just sighed a bit. Why did he form that pact with her again? Oh right....because she is really powerful, that's why.

"Why yes, Ah' do have the mind fer' such things, n' Ah' ain't that stupid, reckless, but not plain dumb." Tex shot back, granted Priscilla's face remained as passive as it was before, causing Tex to sigh once more. "Look, Ah'll call ya' if Ah' need ya'. Fer' now, just hold yer' horses. Sound good?" The Texas Ranger asked. The wielder of the Lifehunt merely nodded, before fading away to...well wherever she went until she was called. Tex sure didn't know, but there was one thing he knew. Some other military personnel were around here somewhere. He already found one of them, which was good as now they were together. Help is always appreciated to say the least, especially when they were in a hostile environment like this.

The Texas Ranger drew "Western Enforcement", his revolver, and "Old Reliable", his bowie knife before deciding to press forward, keeping his eyes and ears open for anything that might be hostile to him. He discovered a clearing, perhaps a small lake of some kind? Whatever it was, he had no other real way to go. Considering how everything wanted to kill them in this world, he would not be surprised if there were any man eating fish in the water before. He searched the surface for anything, his first look did not see anything, but his second look...he thought he saw something. He held up his hand, signaling for the other person to stop, "Be careful, Ah' think Ah' saw somethin'." He would say loud enough for his ally to hear him. He then took a step into the lake, keeping his eyes open for any danger. Though part of him smiled...finally some action!

It was time to just let it ride!

It smelled badly of nature, it was something Sen didn't mind so much as he was getting used to the odor. His body shivered from the cold depths of the swamp that had concealed his body up to his waist. He could hear various sounds of birds chirping and silencing themselves at the most random times. He had been careful to hid behind every bit of vegetation he could find as the threat of demons were high. Hiding behind a tree, Sen stopped himself as he held the scope of his crossbow to his working eye. Nothing seemed to be of interest...

...until he saw something that caused him to grimace. Four of them, Sen almost missed their figures as the lens of the scope nearly swept past the figures in sleek black. But it was mostly the blood that oozed on the black surface that really ticked him off. He recognized their forms, the memories of seeing people being eaten made him shudder up his spine. And even more so as the soldier saw them already feasting on a fresh corpse who had the misfortune to be eaten by these demons.

They weren't really that dangerous alone. Perhaps annoying given their appearance that can blend with the water. But when there's four of them, it's a whole different story. Quietly, Sen knelt down enough for the water to envelope his whole body except his head. He had to keep his presence as small as possible, and this included his complete appearance.

It was time to go. There was no way he would risk fighting them at this point. He was at a strong disadvantage here. Outnumbered and the environment was way too unsuited for him. Slowly he moved back as the shrubbery of vegetation kept his presence and appearance concealed from their eyes as the soldier remained furtive. Not that they probably would care as they're finally having their fill of human meat in their stomachs.

His breath was shallow and quiet as Sen moved away from them. Their figures grew smaller as Sen retreated away more. The soldier made constant use of the vegetation to conceal himself while moving out of their lines of sight to increase his chances of concealment. And soon he was far away enough that they wouldn't come after him since the soldier has never entered into their lives once. They would all live from this ordeal... or so what Sen thought.

Julie was already geared up and prepared for the mission as arrived at the location that Tex was at, just a minute or two afterwards. Julie looks around and began to ponder his current actions, this was a swamp alright, and being on the floor would be hard for him to maneuver around. “I need to get off of the ground…” Julie said quietly as he presses a button on his watch, summoning his demon partner Kaizer , and materializing his knife in one hand. His cameo in this particular situation was light green with small streaks of brown, matching the green terrain of the area they arrived in, and making it even more effective to hide there once he arrives. The captain Tex already noticed the enemy, and he needed to be ready as well. “Kaizer, Icarus wings…” KAizer simply nodded as he used his ability to grant Julie flight temporarily, keeping him out of the water and 12 inches above it, along with his demon. Julie then acknowledges the Captain ahead of him. “Orders?”

On the way, Irina would look behind her to notice GREO, the ally she had mentioned to Ala before beginning her adventure down the muggy path. GREO had a demon of some unknown origin wandering with her, which she paid little mind to. From what she heard, she seemed to be able to hold her own, though she herself had not battled with her on the field, so only time would tell. Irina opened her mouth to acknowledge her presence, being the least she could do, however GREO has almost immediately turned to the other direction that was originally available to Irina and went down that pathway. Irina would have said something, but she seemed to not go far and open up some sort of chest, which bothered her. How she did not notice that chest and just went forward like a fool was beyond her, and GREO went a few feet and found it off to the side. Ala was snickering, as if guessing Irina’s disdain towards this moment. Though it would be fairly obvious since she took a small moment to look at GREO half waiting, half upset that she found her treasure. Irina would turn to Ala with a frown, and Ala would stop snickering and just look forward. Hopefully GREO was going to be merciful and share it if she could, especially if it was money. She could use some gear as well.

Nonetheless, she knew GREO was rather quick, and could probably catch up with the two of them. With that in mind, she chose to continue on ahead down the muddy pathway, her feet deep into the mud which was around her ankles. It was rather annoying to be in this environment, alone at that. She could only imagine the people that may be here on their own, as this place was silent as night apart from her and GREO’s stepping into the mud. “Any grasp of this area you can manage Ala?” she would ask her demon ally. She found herself easily willing to talk to her demon, as she was perhaps like her, though less serious and more demonic. Ala was one of her only companions outside of the obligations to the Cult she had. Ala would move ahead as she walked, looking around as if scanning the area ahead. She would return to Irina. “A fork leading down the mud, or turn into the forest, though I can see a demon in the forest,” she said. Irina did not find herself not much higher than average speed, and would rather not risk that. Maybe GREO will go down there if she sees something. She would turn down the muddy path and continue on.
