Sometimes, something just needs to be done. No matter the cost. Just because one is harmless dosnt mean the rest isnt. and you can't help but feel bad.
But you need to do what needs to be done, even if it hurts. I know this first hand.
I know its hard. I know. But keep moving forward so you can be better to help those before they need to do the necessary.
Its 2023 february 13th, and shiro and jane were sent to new york on a mission. Reports say many demons have been seen all over New york. New York is home to the 3rd most city filled with demons in the world. Now the number of demons has risen 11 percent and increases by 3 percent every month. This anomaly was closely observed and it came down to sending the best of the specialist to investigate this phenomenon in New york.
Shiro and Jane were invited to the main facility of the DSA which stands for the Demon Specialist Administration. There in the Meeting room they talked about how they can find the source of the problem and dispose of it swiftly.
In this meeting room there are 3 leaders of the DSA, 3 are rank 5, 2 are rank 4, and 2 are top officers of the DSA. incase you forgot there are 5 ranks, all separated into three categories; low, middle, and high rank. 12 and 2 are low ranks, 3 is middle rank, and 4 and 5 are high rank. The difference between 5 and 4 are that 5 is basically the same thing as 4 but they are rich.
"This has been a growing problem for a while now. My conclusion is someone is opening portals to the fallen realm and they are planning a attack on new york and maybe america". DSA leader 1 said. "How did you come up with that? I think there is a bigger gap in the dimensional rift that is opening even more portals in new york. We have to stop it before it spreads to other states".
DSA leader 2 said. "Yours is even more crazier than mine, mine doesn't even sound crazy". DSA leader 1 said.
"Now now lets calm down. Lets ask the specialist that humbley agreed to come here. High ranks i would like to know your thoughts"? DSA leader 3 said.
"We don't know unless we investigate, but based on my experience and im sure im speaking for every specialist here a good guess would that someone is opening portals". Specialist 1 said.
"Thank you for your insight. Any others"? DSA leader 3 said.
Shiro's hair turned from white to black, and now Kurai was in control.
"Where are the areas that have the most percent of demons raised up and whether or not the population density of demons were high there". Kurai asked.
"Manhattan and The Bronx were low population density, they were the first to start showing signs of demon population rising. Followed brooklyn and queens started a month after but only risen by 1.42 percent, my theory is the demons from other borough slipped into brooklyn and queens. Staten island has been untouched, it even has lowered sense the others have been getting higher, but as a result more citizens moved into staten island".
Kurai sits there in silence for a few seconds. Then he says this; "yes it does seem like that someone is opening portal, but whether or not this is an act of organized terrorists or a specialist gone rogue differs. We need to watch our feet while moving on in this investigation". Kurai says.
Kurais hair turns back to white, now shiro is in control.
"We have finished the groups. There are 5 boroughs and 7 officers ready. Jane and Kurai you will be sent to watch over staten island, amanda and dustin you will watch over brooklyn. Even you will watch over manhattan, lisa you will watch over queens, and bart you will watch over The Bronx. Meeting adjourned now roll out". DSA leader 1 said. FWI DSA leader 1 recently watched Transformers and now he says roll out when ever he sends people on missions. Better late than never am I right?
So they all headed to the designated post. More specifically they are investigating the boroughs.
Jane and Shiro were put in a building owned by one of the DSA leaders. It is as big as a suite but it is classified as an apartment.There are Three rooms, Shiro allowed Jane to take the master bedroom while Shiro took the other one.
"Finally, we are sleeping in the same house, apartment or whatever, but I'm here with him." Jane says enthusiastically. "I don't think he will make a move, I better give him hints. He is a specialist after all, investigating is what he does". Meanwhile in Shiro's room.
"Kurai, how are we going to figure this out, this place is low populated so we wont have much luck". Shiro says with disappointment in his voice.
"Don't worry. I made it so they picked us for this place specifically. obviously someone is doing this and sense the population decrease over here the culprit is most likely plotting over her". Kurai tell Shiro.
"Oh ya also… IM IN THE SAME APARTMENT AS A WOMEN! What do i do, is she going to do something, do i like her enough to do something? Why am i feeling this way"? Shiro says.
"That's called hormones my boy. And try not to worry about it because she doesn't feel that way. We have been friends forever". Kurai says.
The next morning…
Kurai woke up finding himself smelling a delicious scent coming from the kitchen. He gets ready and heads out to find Jane has made breakfast and set it out on the table.
"I thought i would make us some breakfast before we head out to work". Jane says.
"I appreciate it. It smells good too". Shiro says.
Jane smiles and celebrities in her head. They get done eating and head out to there post patrolling the borough. Roughly triangular staten island is 35 miles of waterfront and a area of almost 60 miles, with about 495,747 people living in it, with a population density of 8,112 per square miles.
That with the population of 14872 demons wich is 3 percent of the population in Staten island, and population density of 255 per square mile. Most of these demons are small and hide in the shadows, but there are some that are big, they will eat a few people and stop for a few months, and some are binge eaters. Bing eaters like to keep eating and eating, these demons are very intelligent. It may seem impossible to cover this much ground in such a big area, but they have spells that can propel them at an average of 120 mph. Plus with the DSA having extra agents helping in each borough. Most of the DSA use magic too, but they aren't specially trained as specialists are.
Kurai and Jane split off, Shiro covering one half with 1 or 2 DSA officers every block and same goes with Jane's half. As Shiro patrols he runs into small demons frequently. Small demons are animal sized like demons. When it's one of them even a adult with no training or experience can kill these thing, but in a group they are hard to deal with, wich is why I. Big cities and even some small cities they are top priority to kill when no big threats pop up. And small demons tend to attack children and babies. That's why it is always recommended to stay with your child no matter what, especially in large cities like New York.
Shiro's hair turned from white to black, now kurai is in control. Sense kurai has wind element magic, he uses the wind to blow at him in all directions. What this does is speed up sound frequencies so they can reach him, though using this all the time will cause major problem with other people sense the wind he makes blows under 60 mph. Wind above 60 mph can uproot trees and throw cars around, so he limits himself on their, but that does not stop small object from blowing people property into kurai's face.
Kurai's hair turns back to white, Shiro is now in control.
"6 o'clock, coordinates, 21,120x and 34,320y.
Staten island is 13 miles long and 8 miles wide, convert that into feet it's 68,340 feet long and 42,240. Put that into an x and y grid then the demon is in the middle of Staten island and kurai is close to the middle.
Shiro gets there and sees a larger demon attacking a mom and a child, the child is hiding behind a dumpster while the mom is protecting her daughter with her life, she uses a fire arrow and shoots it at the demon, but at the cost of her pointer finger, but that didn't kill it. Right as she was about to fire another Shiro jumps in and kills the demon with one black flaming slash down the middle of the demon. Killing it and turning it into ash. The mother rushes to her daughter, to find her ok. The daughter cries and asked what happens to her finger. The mom said everything will be ok. A couple of police officers show up and bring them to a hospital. But Shiro left before she could say thank you. While on Jane's side she uses a radio that connect all DSA officers to it. Everytime something is reported in the radio she acts quickly and always arrives onto the scene on time. Well that's what I would like to say, but a report on the radio tells an attack at a mall by many small demons and one big demon. Casualties count 6 children 8 women and 13 men dead. She rushes over to the mall, to find it infested with small demons, the mall has been evacuated and no more deaths has been reported.
" I need back up, there are too many. Come to the mall a-" all of a sudden Shiro appears by her side.
"I'm here, let's deal with these demons quickly". Shiro then walks into the demon infested mall, all bad ass like. Jane watches in admiration, and followed him into the mall. Together they cleared the mall in under ten minutes. But as the demons cleared and the big one was killed, many bodies could be seen. The person in the radio counted 6 8 and 13. But it was more like 15, 25 and 26. This made Jane sick to her stomach. Kurai was disgusted, and Shiro who seen death of children for the first time almost fell to his knees before kurai took control.
After that they were off while the DSA officers patrolled at night, DSA leaders called a meeting and wanted to talk about the mall incident.
"What happened out there JANE AND KURAI!" DSA leader one said. "You were exposed to protect them, and now you allowed children and women to die"!
"We have an explanation for that, but one thing." Shiro and Jane stood up and bowed their heads.
"We are terribly sorry, it will never happen again". "Now you better start explaining yourselfs". DSA leader 1 snapped.
"I- er i mean we have made the assumption that this is definitely an organized attack. With how many small demons there were and 1 big demon, it was completely planned."
"Are you saying there is a traitor among us"? DSA leader 3 asked.
"No, a demon controlled this. Idk what kind of from where. Whether it's in the fallen realm or here on earth".
"How are we going to deal with this without another incident"? DSA leader 2 asked.
"We need more Specialists here, I can recommend you a 1 but that's all I have".
"Alright I'll grant you the request, I'll assign some specialists from our ranks too, though they aren't as powerful as you specialist here". DSA leader 1 says.
"Great, I promise no incident will happen again. We will figure this out".
The meeting ended, and after a few days the backup came, along with Carter.
It's February 20th, 2023. The radio is very quiet. Too quiet. No reports have been sent in and everyone's on their post, no one is missing. So why, why is there nothing happening. No demons whatsoever.
"Something seems suspicious here," Shiro stated. "Don't you agree Carter"?
"Yeah you're right. It's never this quiet in a big city like this".
"Lets just keep patrolling". Shiro said,
All of a sudden they here Jane screaming and calling for back up. As we try to jet over there to help, a bunch of small demons crawl out of a man hole. In a split second all the streets were in chaos. Demons everywhere, killing and eating people. And shiro is standing there in shock and fear. He dosn't know what to do.
"Hey! KURAI! KURAI! SHIRO"!! Finally Shiro snaps put of it.
"We need to get the people to safety!" Shiro proclaims. "Top priorities are women and children"!
As they killing the small demons and bring people to safety, Many bigger demons show up. About twenty of them, there being lead by one city level destruction demon. These demons are called the catastrophic.
"Carter! Call state of emergency!" Shiro yells. "Request as much reinforcements as possible"!
"Right"!
Carter then jetted at the top of an apartment building, reached in his pocket for a specialist receiver. With the specialist receiver there is a number pad going from 0-9 in that order. Three buttons, the first button says City E, the second one says State E, the third one says National E.
Cater pressed State E, then he pressed 1, 0, 0. What this did was send his location, and the amount of specialists needed. When he pressed it the specialist receiver showed 4 more signals that were sent out the same time the evasion started.
It's February 22nd, 2023. It took 2 days to evacuate most of the citizens out of New York in all five boroughs. The request still hasn't been approved, and Shiro, Jane, and Carter along with 4 other specialists were searching for survivors. Many men, women and children died during the evacuation, and they are still dying even now. The streets are filled with thousands, maybe even ten thousands of small demons, and we still haven't taken out the catastrophic demon. We only managed to take out 7 of the bigger demons. Luckily this is only happening in New York. No where else is enduring all this pain and suffering.
Shiro is dashing across the top of the buildings, searching for survivors. He heres a ladies scream. He followed the sound to the middles of a street where a family of three is being surrounded by small demon. The father is protecting them from the demons. He uses Earth magic, and seems to be doing pretty well, but his finger tips are starting to turn to dust. He is using too much magic. Shiro swiftly swoops in and does a magic spell called. Raging Black flaming surasshu. He completely demolishes the surrounding demons.
"Quickly before more come back! You don't have a lot of time"! Shiro yells.
Shiro Brings them up on the closest building waiting for a rescue helicopter.
In History, something like this only happened once, and that was over one thousand years ago. And it happened simultaneously all over the world. All of a sudden these demons just crawled out of black puddles from the ground. Even some humans came running out of there screaming for help. Millions of people died. After 20 years the demon population was under control. Demons still come out of those black puddles but not as much. A man Named Jake Bringstone showed us advanced technology. He was from the world these demons came from. He even made a book. It's called The Fallen Realm.
Jake is a big piece of our world history today.
The city of New York was in complete chaos. Many specialist came to help, but the request for 100 specialist is still waiting for approval, now it is Jane, Carter, and Shiro's responsibility to protect the innocent, survive, and reclaim new york.
Carter made the 8 spruce building as a safe zone and a pick up for survivors. All the entrances are covered in a liquid that last for days and demons will not go near it. It's called mimosa pudica, it has a low toxicity rate to humans but demons despise it. Because of the plant still being toxic researchers haven't found a way to use it to cure cancer.
Specialist and others trained in a similar profession has been deemed as a survivalist. The survivalists look around new york for any survivors and bring them back to the 8 spruce building.
These methods were brought to everyone's attention by Kurai, though kurai never came up with the idea himself, he took the idea from a game he used to play, it was called crying night or something like that.
It's February 24th, 2023, it is shiro's job to go hunt for the catastrophic demon, while looking for any survivors. The theory is, if the catastrophic demon was killed, the small demons will stop crawling out of those black puddles. Carter helps kill the bigger demons, and Jane helps control the tower. Right now survivors are being transported via helicopter on top of the 8 spruce building to hospitals and damaged home agencies.
The sounds of people screaming in the distance, explosions, demons grunting and growling. Shiro quickly follows the screams. But only one out of five people died. He was too late and could only save one person. Shiro has been using a lot of magickuels for days now, and is almost at his limit. He has to take a break soon or hell turn to dust.
More screaming, he follows the screams, he's too late, screaming, he followers to screams, he's too late, again and again and again he can only save so many people. Then he hears a completely different scream. Its the sound of a fierce war cry, but it isn't human. It sounds like a pack of lions all roaring at the same time. He follows the sound… Then he sees it. It's a catastrophic. This giant demon, that's at least 16 feet tall, teel skin, black veins, dark yellow eyes, it's yellow teeth are showing and it's lips are gone. It so skinny you can see the bones through the skin. It was completely different from the demon at the specialist graduation.
"Shit! I need to call back up now"! Shiro thinks to himself. He pulls out his radio and request back up for a catastrophic. He waits for back up wich should take 10 mins. Then all of a sudden a young blonde lady screams in terror.
Shiro hesitates. "Shit! Im no match for it alone, ad back up wont be here for a while." Shiro thinks to himself. "But i have no time"! Shiro leaps into action, he draws bot of his swords and aims for the demon's neck. But the demon is too fast. In the blink of an eye it pops up behind Shiro and strikes. Shiro blocks hoping to redirect the flower. He gets sent flying to the ground infront of the woman, creating a giant pot hole in the ground.
"It's too fast! I can't take her to safety, and one wrong move it'll kill me. I just need to hold out till more get here". Shiro thinks to himself.
Shiro gets into a defensive stance, being ready for any attack. The demon who has it's back facing Shiro side eyes him. All of a sudden the demon appears in front of shiro, going for the kill.
Shiro redirects its attack and slashes upwards with his left sword. The demon gets cut across tis chest and jumps back. It screams like a siren voicing a warning call. Instantly the demon heals.
Then charges for another attack. Again and again the demon keeps attacking, and all Shiro could do was block, every one. No openings for a counter.
The the demon gets a cut on Shiro's arm. It stops to lick the blood on it's finger tip. Smiling while doing so. The moment his blood touched the demon's tongue, it freezes.
"You are father's". It mumbles. It sharply looked at Shiro, pops up right behind him. Shiro tries to turn around as fast as he could but the demon gets a hold of both his arms. While the demon is holding both of Shiro's hand with one arm, it's other arm descended backwards, the thrusting into Shiro's heart. Shiro grunts in pain, screaming his life out. His heart starts beating faster, and dark purple veins pop up around the finger that's penetrating his heart. Shiro wiggles, kicks. But it's useless. As Shiro hangs there helplessly, the back up finally comes. Carter comes from behind, imbues his sword with fire magic. "Crimson strike"! He completely slices it in half, then proceeded to quickly cut off it's head, killing it.
Shiro drops on the ground, and starts coughing really hard. The hole heals up, and the veins disappeared. No traces left. The blonde woman and Shiro we're brought to the 8 spice building.
Within a 3 days Shiro recovers. He wakes up on a hospital bed in Staten Island.. The blonde woman was sitting besides him, she is asleep.
Shiro sets up, and puts his hand on his head.
"What happened"? He asked.
The blonde woman wakes up, and she gets ecstatic and hugs kurai.
"Your that lady from yesterday." Shiro said. "I never caught your name".
"My name is Shelby. Could I ask the name of my hero"? Shelby asked.
"My name is Shhiro fenikkusu. Its nice to see that your safe." He said with a bright smile on his face. " I have to leave now, people need me and i have demons to slay". He says as he struggles to get up due to lack of magickuels.
Shelby stops him and lays him back down.
" Please rest." she said with worry. " you don't have to worry, for the days you were past out the Many specialists, over hundreds came and killed all the demons in new york city".
" What? H-how long was i out"? He asked.
" You were out for about three days, a woman named Jane has stayed behind to wait for you to wake up". She explains.
"Where is she"? He asked.
Shelby smiled with a soft but heart broken look on her face,
" Just after waking up after a life threatening incident, you are always worried about other people instead of yourself aren't you." She says as tears flow down her face. " That just who you are huh? I'm glad i met you". She says before going to get jane.
" Why was she crying?" He thinks to himself." I hope she is ok".
She felt sad because she thought she had feeling for jane. Even though they just met she was saved by him, therefore she fell in love. But she is oblivious to his feelings.
Jane walks and and jumps on shiro.
"Im so glad to see you awake." she cried, "Don't do that to me again"!
Shiro stands up, and starts walking to the door. Jane tried helping him walk to the door.
"No i got it, thanks though". He says
Shiro and Jane were expecting him to be a little limp, but he was walking normally.
"Wow! I Feel great!" He thinks to himself, "im so much lighter and i feel stronger".
Shiro and Jane return to Coeur d'alene Idaho. They gave a report to the main office and went back on normal mission. After a while, They found a new status agent, sense amelia went missing and betrayed the specialist. they needed a new one.
