Five years ago,
on a seemingly ordinary day at the restaurant, the unexpected blare of Charmers shattered the calm atmosphere.
It was the highest level of Charmer, indicating a serious emergency. My mother's urgent voice broke through the disorder, instructing me and my best friend, Rosie, to run towards the nearest bunker.
We had practiced emergency drills like this several times in the past two years, and although it was a serious situation, there was a hint of excitement in the air.
Being in the bunker meant reuniting with friends and spending half a day away from our regular routines.
As we sprinted towards the bunker, the cacophony of car horns and curses filled the streets. To our surprise, some people seemed unfazed by the Charmers, nonchalantly continuing on their way without a care in the world, assuming it was just another exercise.
However, even during drills, everyone was required to adhere to the law, which mandated seeking shelter in the designated bunkers upon hearing emergency Charmers. Those who ignored the Charmers risked substantial fines imposed by the town authorities.
"This is kind of exciting, isn't it?" I asked Rosie, attempting to lighten the tension as we ran.
Her face was etched with fear, and she responded, her voice trembling, "I don't know, this might not be a drill. It could be a real emergency."
Rosie and I had grown up as neighbors, forging a strong fellowship and becoming the best of friends.
But I had always harbored deeper feelings for her. She shared a similar height with me, possessed a cute face, and had the rarest light blue hair that made her truly unique.
I often found myself imagining how breathtaking she would grow to be as she blossomed into adulthood.
Devil Armies Attack: A Close Call
False Alarm?
As my mom reassured us, "Don't worry, children, this is just a false alarm," her words provided a brief sense of relief. However, she never took chances when it came to these situations.
Having experienced the devastation of a Devil Armies in her youth, she understood the immense danger they posed. Instinctively, we continued running towards the bunker, just in case.
But then, an urgent announcement pierced through the air, shattering any lingering doubts: "REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A FALSE ALARM. DEVIL ARMIES IS 10KM AWAY. PLEASE HURRY TO THE NEAREST BUNKER." Time seemed to freeze momentarily as the weight of those words sank in, and then diorder erupted.
People around us erupted into panic, their faces contorted with fear.
Screams filled the air as everyone scrambled to find safety. It was a race against time, and the urgency was palpable.
The once orderly streets transformed into a frenzied scene of desperation as people fought to secure their places in the bunkers.
In the midst of the disorder, I clung tightly to Rosie's hand, our fingers interlaced for support and reassurance.
The noise was deafening, a cacophony of cries, shouts, and footsteps echoing around us. We pushed through the crowd, our hearts pounding in our chests, praying that we would reach the safety of the bunker in time.
The air was thick with a mix of terror and determination as we sprinted towards our destination. Each step felt like an eternity, and every passing second heightened the sense of impending danger.
The once familiar surroundings became a blur as adrenaline surged through our veins, propelling us forward.
Finally, we arrived at the entrance of the bunker, a sanctuary amidst the disorder. We rushed inside, gasping for breath, grateful to have made it in time. The door closed behind us with a resounding thud, shutting out the sounds of the outside world.
Inside the bunker, a mixture of relief and apprehension hung in the air. We were safe, but the knowledge that a Devil Armies loomed nearby served as a grim reminder of the perilous reality we faced.
We huddled together, seeking solace and strength in each other's presence, knowing that the battle against the devils was far from over.

Panic took hold, and any semblance of order or organization dissolved in the face of sheer survival instinct. People became ruthlessly determined to secure their own safety, regardless of the consequences for others.
In the midst of the frenzy, acts of selfishness and desperation became all too common.
I witnessed numerous individuals resorting to using their powers and physical strength to forcefully push their way through the crowd. It was a disturbing sight to behold.
One particularly imposing brute encased his entire body in rock-like armor, barreling through the mass of people, causing injuries in his wake. He remained unaffected by the harm he caused, focused solely on advancing ahead.
Amidst this disorder, my mother's grip on both of us tightened, her hands like a vise, refusing to let go. She navigated the tumultuous crowd, determined to protect us at all costs.
The intensity in her eyes mirrored the urgency of the situation. We held on to her tightly, our hearts pounding in sync with the rhythm of our hurried steps.
The scene around us was one of pandemonium. People collided, stumbled, and fought for every inch of progress.
Injuries were inevitable as the crowd surged forward, propelled by a mix of fear and the instinctual drive to survive. The air was thick with shouts, cries, and the sound of desperate footsteps echoing through the disorder.
My mother's strength and unwavering determination guided us through the mayhem. She forged a path, deflecting obstacles and shielding us from harm as best she could.
Every step forward felt like a small victory amidst the prevailing disorder.
We raced towards the safety of the bunker, driven by a potent mix of fear and hope. The tunnel leading to the entrance loomed ahead, a beacon of respite from the tumult outside.
As we approached, our collective relief swelled, a palpable force pushing us onward.
Finally, we crossed the threshold, the heavy door closing behind us, effectively shutting out the pandemonium that raged beyond.
Inside the confines of the bunker, a momentary respite awaited, allowing us to catch our breath and gather our thoughts.
Though shaken by the disorder that had unfolded, the unyielding strength and protective instinct displayed by my mother filled me with a sense of gratitude and awe.
In the face of adversity, her unwavering presence had guided us to safety, reminding us of the power of love and determination amidst the disorder of a world under siege.
Ariel Devils Attack
"Ahhh..." The air was filled with the piercing sound of screams and shrieks as I turned my head to look behind me.
My heart dropped as my eyes beheld a horrific sight—a swarm of Ariel Devils descending from the sky, swooping down towards the helpless humans within the crowd.
The once chaotic scene on the ground became even more nightmarish as the Ariel Devils unleashed their fury upon unsuspecting targets. Their devils forms, a grotesque combination of wings, claws, and fangs, struck terror into the hearts of all who witnessed their approach.
The crowd scattered in panic, desperately trying to evade the merciless onslaught. disorder ensued as people frantically ran in all directions, their only goal to escape the clutches of these airborne beasts.
But the Ariel Devils were relentless, diving with deadly precision, their sharp talons and vicious bites rending flesh and shattering any semblance of hope.
With each passing moment, the cries of pain and anguish grew louder, mingling with the flapping of wings and the guttural screeches of the Ariel Devils.
The once vibrant streets had transformed into a battleground, where the very survival of humanity hung in the balance.
I clung tightly to my mother's hand, fear gripping my heart. Her face mirrored a mix of determination and concern as she shielded me and my friend Rosie from the onslaught as best she could.
She guided us through the disorder, her instincts honed by a lifetime of hardships and perseverance.
As we maneuvered through the terror-stricken crowd, I caught glimpses of the Ariel Devils in action. Their attacks were swift and brutal, leaving trails of devastation in their wake.
Each dive carried with it a torrent of destruction and a gruesome fate for those unfortunate enough to be within their reach.
The once vibrant and lively cityscape was now a battleground, its streets stained with the blood of the fallen. The desperate cries for help were met with the haunting screeches of the Ariel Devils, a chilling symphony of terror that engulfed the senses.
In the face of this overwhelming disorder, I felt a mixture of helplessness and determination. We needed to find safety, to reach a place where the Ariel Devils could not reach us.
With every step, we pushed forward, propelled by a relentless will to survive.
The echoes of the Ariel Devils' relentless assault reverberated through the air, a constant reminder of the peril that surrounded us.
But we pressed on, driven by the hope that within the disorder, there might still be a glimmer of salvation, a chance to overcome the darkness that had descended upon us.
Safe Haven
"I heard my mother's urgent voice, and she began to pull us towards the nearby bunker. Along the way, I attempted to contact my father, but the absence of a signal filled me with worry.
Sensing my concern, my mother reassured me, "Don't worry about your father; he's in a separate bunker at the hospital." Relief washed over me, knowing that he had a designated safe place.
Turning my attention to Rosie, I saw the fear in her eyes. My mother, ever compassionate, sought to comfort her. "Rosie, there's a bunker near the bank.
Your parents will be safe," she said, her voice filled with reassurance. Rosie, struggling to hold back tears, nodded in response, finding solace in her mother's words.
In the midst of our desperate retreat, a bone-chilling sight unfolded before us. A devils creature, resembling an eagle, swooped down from the skies with terrifying speed. It ruthlessly tore a man in half, carrying off the upper portion of his body.
The scene was horrifying, and the echoes of screams filled the air. Blood flowed freely, staining the ground in a macabre display. There was no time for contemplation as more of these creatures descended, ravaging the unsuspecting victims.
The realization dawned upon us that if an Ariel Devil had made its appearance, it would only be a matter of time before the surface-dwelling devils joined the onslaught.

This armies surpassed anything the town had faced before. The ground quaked beneath us, a foreboding tremor signaling the approach of the surface devils.
Panic and desperation consumed the faces of those around us. There was no room for hesitation.
Driven by survival instinct, individuals resorted to drastic measures. Unleashing their powers without hesitation, they fought and defended themselves. In the frenzied struggle, injuries were sustained, and lives were tragically lost. It was a stark and heart-wrenching reminder of the brutal nature of survival.
The silhouettes of the advancing surface devils came into view.
Scarlet Stallions and Spiked Cats dominated the front lines, their menacing presence striking fear into our hearts. Amidst the disorder, a voice commanded us to move, but before we could react, an attack struck from behind, sending us sprawling into a corner.
Thankfully, it was a wind-based assault, leaving us with minor injuries. "That despicable person!" I cursed, my anger flaring in the face of such callousness. However, my mother swiftly admonished me, reminding me to mind my language.
Gathering our resolve, we pushed forward, our legs propelling us to escape the impending danger. With every step, the danger loomed closer, but our determination burned bright. The safety of the bunker beckoned, offering a sanctuary amidst the disorder, and we vowed to reach it, no matter the obstacles that lay in our path.
The Devil Armies
The Attack
As my friends and I strolled leisurely along the path, enjoying each other's company, a sudden piercing cry pierced the air, jolting us from our carefree state.
Our heads turned towards the source of the sound, and our eyes widened in terror as a colossal snow-white eagle-like devil materialized before us.
Before we could react, the devils creature swooped down with terrifying speed, its razor-sharp talons snatching my friend Rosie, plucking her from the ground as if she were weightless.
Gasps of horror escaped our lips as the creature effortlessly carried her away, her frightened cries fading into the distance. We were left stunned, the shock of the moment paralyzing our bodies and minds.
