"Guys look" I look at Sixer and he is pointing into the crater. Theres a person in the crater huddled up on the round. 

"Hes Alive!" Naomi runs down the little slope and rolls him onto his back.

"Naomi be careful you don't know who that is." Just as i say that the man Grabs her by the shoulder and throws her back up and a little past us. 

"Naomi! hey are you alright" I run over and help her up, she doesn't look that hurt.

"Yea im fine" we hurry back to the other who are both pointing their rifles at the person, and we join them. "Who are you!" Sixer says from beside me. The man begins to start laughing louder and louder before it becomes uncontrollable and he starts to scream. "What the hell is wrong with this guy." Sixer says. the an screams louder and louder then yuri point down at the man. "The artifact! its in his chest." Sixer says 

"Well what are we supposed to do about tha-" just before i can finish a black shard shoots past my face scratching my cheek. 

"Kill it now i guess." Sixer says sarcastically as we all fire multiple rounds into the mans chest. I hear a pop and he falls onto his back. "Is he dead?" Naomi says as she looks closer. All of a sudden the man begins to go spastic, thrashing his body back and forth, screaming again. Before long his arm look like it explodes throwing flesh into the air, revealing a larger black scaled arm underneath with spikes, or horns on his shoulder, like armor. "What the hell is this dude." Sixer says, raising his rifle again. 

"Hold your fire, that didn't help much last time we shot it." i say as he begins to lower his rifle slowly. The man Bursts again this time his whole body popped and again more blood and skin flew into the air, showing the demon underneath. the entire body was composed of black or dark red, some of them glowing a bright orange. The head looked almost horrific, having splits all along his face. Teeth poking out all over through the splits. blood covering its entire face. It got down on all fours and screamed at us again before leaping straight on top of Sixer. I ran straight over and rammed myself into the demon knocking it off of him. then firing three rounds into its face. I turn around and notice Sixer getting back up with his helmet cracked and the armor piece on his chest had a large scratch on it. 

I help Sixer back onto his feet and we both look back at the demon. We could both barely hear the words "help. me." before it sprung up again and screamed at us. "Shit keep firing and fall back to the buildings!" We all start firing and moving back towards the building. the creature dodged alot of the shots by jumping back and forth, spinning and hopping towards us slower and slower. As we begin to pass some of the ash statues they begin to burst and slowly turn into more demons. "This is rally fucked up sir!" 

"I am completely aware, we need to get out of here!" Yuri came up and tapped me on the shoulder and then darted off with his rifle on his back, then started to climb to the top of one of the building, using the outer utilities as a ladder. I swing my rifle to my side then motion for everyone else to follow me. i grab old of a brick protruding from the wall then get a good foot placement and jump up and grab the ledge of the roof, and pull myself up. Once i was up i turned around and pulled Sixer up, then Naomi. I look back down and notice three of the demons staring back, motionless. 

"Lets go." I turn around and notice Yuri already across to another building pointing at a small cave he noticed. "Lets head to that cave and re-configure a plan."

"We didn't have one to begin with." 

"true. lets move." We begin to hop along alot of the buildings to avoid anything on the ground. I notice Yuri doing alot of flips and even adding twists to them, hes pretty damn agile.  eventually we stopped at the last building of the village. I look down and make sure none of those things are nearby before i hop down and un-sling my rifle. And quickly look around, making sure, again, that there none of them around. "we are clear, come on." The rest of them hop down and we begin to run towards the cave. the cave was in the side of a small hill, there wasnt even a slope into it. it went straight down a small rock climb was needed to get down. I pull a small green flare out and light it and drop it in. It was not even that deep literally about 10 feet down. I turn and begin to make my way down, once i got half way down i hopped off the wall and landed in the center of a larger cavern, it was well rounded out, and it didnt even go any deeper than that. "come on down!" i yell back as i pick up the flare.
