The angel ran through the door that lead him to the world of the mortals. Equipped with his usual bow and arrows, he jumped down and allowed the Power of Flight to take over. He felt his cool rush of air in his face, and the loops and twirls that occurred in his stomach from the adrenaline of flying. However, he realized that this period of peace was too long, and looked around for a bit. That was odd...there were no enemies.
“Uh, Lady Kyouko? Where are we?” the angel asked, slowing down at the goddess’ command. Said goddess responded to him quickly, her analytical voice resonating in his head.
“I’m not sure, to be honest,” the goddess admitted. Naegi could tell that she wasn’t lying. While an abundance of people could decode the goddess’ true feelings from the nearly emotionless tone of her voice, Naegi could. “I might’ve opened a door a bit farther to our target than expected.”
“You can say that again,” Naegi replied, looking around warily again. “There are literally no Underworld or Forces of Nature troops here. It’s kinda weird.”
“Weird is an understatement,” the goddess responded. “I’ll take you down to get a closer look, alright?”
“I hope it’s nothing worrisome,” the angel said as he started his descent.
“I hope so too, but I’m getting any promising visions,” the goddess replied. “All I foresee is major bloodshed, and a general hopelessness throughout the entire area...”
Naegi heard the goddess make an ‘mmhm’ in reply as he parted through the last veil of clouds to see...chaos. The angel’s face paled as the Power of Flight allowed him to pause for a bit, and Naegi could tell that Lady Kyouko was just as horrified as he was. Buildings were up in flames, screams of women and cries of children and shouts of men rang throughout. From what he could see, some figures carrying crowbars and guns were the ones wreaking havoc. It was all...horrible. Hopeless...despairful.
“W-What happened?” Naegi managed to ask as he stayed still in the air.
“I don’t know, but...it isn’t good,” Kyouko said, her voice shaking slightly. “The humans...what have they gotten themselves into?”
Naegi was about to respond when a figure caught his eye. A figure standing on top of a large vehicle, shouting from a megaphone. The figure was small and feminine, dressed in an array of black, white, and red. Next to said figure, hidden in an alleyway, was a someone cocking a gun...right at the person with the megaphone.
“Lady Kyouko!” Naegi called out, staring down at the figure. “Get me down over there!”
“On it,” the goddess responded, allowing the angel to fly to his desired location.
The angel swooped down, the goddess guiding him to dodge enemy fire. He clenched his jaw, shooting down any obstacles in his way, making sure to not hurt the humans. After all, he was fighting the Underworld, the Forces of Nature, the Aurum...it was all for the humans. So why would he be shooting at them? It wouldn’t make sense.
Naegi glanced at the gunman pointing his rifle at the female perched on top of that van and leaned forward, trying to go faster. The goddess must’ve noted this, as she gave him a burst of speed. The boy opened his arms as he got closer, eventually capturing the young lady in his arms and flying up. He let out a small yelp as a bullet whizzed by him, barely missing his pure white wings. That was too close for comfort. However, there was no time to dwell upon that, his gaze turning to the young lady.
“Are you alright?” he asked, his eyebrows furrowing in concern.
