You warp light around yourself to become invisible. You inhale deeply, filling your lungs with the stinging hot air around. The initial attack is the most important part of any hunt. You spin around a pillar at the entrance of the park to see a glowing red figure about a half mile away across the lawn. Emmett. Her hands are raised, and when you look carefully, the ground underneath her seems to be... moving. On closer inspection, you are seeing the movement of blood as it's drawn into her from all around the city. It's time to stop her.
Her back is to you. You adjust the Longinus in your grip to be in the perfect striking position to pierce her spine at the base of her neck. A half mile... That will take two seconds at your top speed. You grip the Longinus harder. You crinkle your eyebrows in focus. There's your prey. All you have to do is kill that thing, Ciel. You are the hunter. Now...
Pounce!
You kick off the ground with explosive force and propell through the air faster than the speed of sound. The light wrapping around you peels off as you surge forward. To anyone looking, you would resemble a golden lightning bolt. You're getting closer. Closer. Closer! You can see her back in detail now. You can see two blackish stubs where she must've once had wings. You see precisely where the Longinus will pierce through her neck. Closer. And... Now!
You hear the sound of the Longinus piercing through bone. Success!
Then you feel a force push into your stomach. It pushes absurdly hard, and propells you backwards about twenty feet. Your feet skid along the grass, kicking up dirt and blood as you glide over the pool of blood Emmett was gathering. You see what your spear had pierced. A bone wall, erected by Emmett at the last second in defense. It slowly falls apart and you can see Emmett's demonic face, pure red and full of gleeful hate staring at you, smiling. Her fist is clenched tightly. She must have punched you as a counter attack..
"Another fucking angel?" She sneers, her yellow eyes glowing madly. "Perfect, I'll just add you to my collection!" She begins to laugh. What an abrasive demon.
You stand up to full. Her punch didn't damage you, just startled you. You open your mouth and begin to say, "I am the Archangel Ciel Soliculum. Prepa-"
"Shut the fuck up, you shitty angel. I've heard enough speeches about how fucking strong you all are. Well, guess what? I'm still going to kick the shit out of you. So come on, just try to stop me!" She throws her arms up and laughs maniacally. The blood that's been gathering all around for the past few minutes quickly crystallizes. Jagged spines of red crystal jut out of the ground, starting at Emmett, and rapidly extend outward. Quickly acting, you leap into the air, just avoiding several spikes coming from under you. The park below is now a veritable pincussion made of razor sharp demonically-charged blood spikes. This will be fun, you think. Your heart begins to beat even faster. You haven't been challenged like this in far too long.
Again, you start to talk "Alright demon, now it's time to-"
"I said shut the fuck up!" Emmett shouts, interuppting you again. She folds one arm over the other and gives you the arm motion for 'fuck you'. "Like I said, I don't give a shit what you have to say." The spikes on the ground shatter, sending shards of demonic daggers everywhere. You quickly strike the air with the Longinus, leaving a trail of golden light, which expands into a transparent round shield. The shards bounce off the shield, falling to the ground and liquifing once more.
"Behind you, you fucking angel!" You hear. You turn to see Emmett in the air, having jumped up in the confusion of the explosion. With a quick motion of your hand, you conjure a golden spark which strikes Emmett in the chest, dropping her back to the ground where she lands with a large splash of blood.
"So you're a combat type, too?" Emmett grins, "That's good. I don't have to deal with any more of that bullshit illusion stuff."
Illusions? Ah, so Malachi died to her hands. How unfortunate, he was one of your star pupils.
You are floating several feet above and away from Emmett, who is standing on the ground, grinning like a madman.
Oh Ciel, what prey you've found for yourself.
