Humans are Demon Slayers

Things were not going good on planet Shoosth IV. Things could be described as ‘Going to Hell’ and quickly.

A few weeks ago, vast portals started to appear in scattered locations around the world and demons started to appear from them. The locals were trying to combat this demonic invasion but with very little success.

The demons and their beasts that were coming through were very tough and took a lot of damage before dying and while the military forces were firing at them, the demons were spreading further and further into the local areas around the portals.

Governor Trevot was in despair over the invasion and all the loss of life of the people under her protection. She had sent out a request for any help to anyone who was listening on GalNet but she didn’t expect to hear anything for a while, if at all. Demon invasions were bad news and most of the time the planets were lost no matter how much the defenders fight.

Suddenly a communications techs signaled that there was a message coming in and at almost the same time, the spaceport monitor signaled that they required the governors’ attention.

Trevot called the com-tech to come over while she spoke with the monitor. The monitor showed that there was a bunch of ships on route to the planet and the com-tech handed over a transcription of the message sent to them.

‘Attention planet Shoosth IV and governor Trevot, we have received your request for aid against a demon invasion. Initial forces are on their way to help out and report on the current situation. More substantial forces will be sent with specialised equipment and weapons as soon as we have the reports. Take care and keep fighting, help is on it’s way’

Trevot was shocked that anyone was coming to help them and a slight hope was born. “Direct them to the spaceport and get them down asap. We will meet them at the landing pads.”

Trevot was waiting with a few of her military advisors as they watched a collection of blocky ships started coming down to land. The closer they got the larger they became and more details started to appear. These ships appeared to be not just heavily armored but massively armed as well.

Trevot was watching the largest ship open up a massive cargo bay and the crew started to unload vehicles and cargo in a swarm of movement that reminded her of an insects nest after being disturbed.

A few of the crew broke free and started walking towards Trevot and her advisors. As they got closer, Trevot found she had to look up at their faces that were poking out of their massive power armor suits.

“Good morning governor Trevot. We are the Terran Demon Hunters quick reaction force and we are here to help figure out the magnitude of this invasion and start fighting back and stop the demons in their tracks.”

“Thank you for responding. We were losing hope that anyone would come to our aid. What do you need?”

“We need maps of where the portals have appeared, a list of the various demons and beasts you have seen and how we can cooperate with your forces fighting them. Once we know what we are going to deal with, we know what we need to bring.”

“Hey Major, where do you want the Holy Water placed and which ship has our chainsaws?”

At this the human Major turned back to his crew and started yelling orders at them. ‘Holy Water? What was that?’
