Echo's near supersonic fists struck a band of the humanoid shaped beasts that made the mistake of running at Maximilian.

The last punch left such an impact that sent a ripple through the entire beast, before it splattered into sludge on the street in front of him. Maximilian stood there, without a change in facial expression. A squad of Agents armed with ACR rifles ran on past him, and a black pick up truck with a NEST logo. The truck stopped, and they dropped the gate, revealing a chainlink fence, and other supplies to build an impromptu bulwark out of sand bags, and other supplies. The Agents quickly set up the fence with the help of their Metahuman agents, and the bulwark they had established was quickly manned with 50. caliber machine guns to cut down droves of the beasts. No matter how many there are, they won't last long against [i]these[/i]. 

"Zone three has been secured." Maximilian spoke into the comms. "How are the other zones, coming along?"

"Well, Maxi," Sonya said, looking through the scopes of her rifle, safely on the rooftop. She spied Helena, Maria, Adam, Leon, and a [i]lot[/i] of Rank & File, facing an entire [i]horde[/i]. A massive horde of the Purple-Eyed beasts that filled the street that they were charging down. The Agents raised their rifles, and opened fire, and in Adam's case, he summoned his own Echo and started punching down rolls of them. Sonya saw a really big one in the rank, and aimed down her sights. She took a shot, and it stunned the beast, leaving a oozing hole in it's flesh, before she pulled the trigger a few more times and put the damn thing down. No matter what they did, more showed up. 

"... Not looking good at all." Sonya said. "They keep coming! Gonna need a miracle here!"

"Keep at it, I'm on my way!" Maximilian shouted, as he took to the skies. Agents should be able to hold the fort here.

".... Yeeeeeeeeah. Easier said than done, Maxi." Sonya said to herself as she aimed down the sights. The creatures were going down, but more were popping up just as they were cut down. "Oh! Gots me an idea!" Sonya said in the comms.

"Yeah, was waiting for someone to say that." Leon said, as he aimed down the sights of his revolver, and pulled the trigger. Only staggering one. [i]Oh boy.[/i] Leon said to himself as he pulled the trigger again and only stagger it again. "Definitely room for improvement on our end."

At this point, Adam had to call back his Echo, and use him to strike down the Purple-Eyed demons that were approaching them. With his high-speed strikes, Echo was capable of killing most of them in a single hit. Other ones needed a little bit more before going doing.

"Alright, Helena-" Before Sonya could even get the last syllable of her co-worker's name out of her mouth, the Supersonic replied, 

"What do you need?" Helena replied, finding it real hard to concentrate between shooting down these demons, and talking to Sonya. One had pierced the defensive line, being a demon that was [i]incredibly[/i] bloated. It raised one of it's fat hands up into the air, and was about to bring it down on an unsuspecting Agent - but Helena flashstepped and pulled him out of the way. In a literal instant, they were out of the way, and the beast merely broke concrete. The Agents focused all their fire on it, before they went back to shooting at the wall of monsters heading towards them.

"Grab some grenades, and drop 'em in the middle of their charge!" Sonya shouted, before she took a shot at one of them was getting past.

Helena nodded her head. It was an idea. A good idea, to say the least. She grabbed the grenades that were hanging off her vest and took towards the skies. She pulled the pins one of the grenades, before she flashstepped. Dropping it from the air, it exploded in the middle of their ranks. Before doing it again, managing to thin them out for the defensive line. Helena flashstepped back when she ran out of grenades.

"Great job!" Sonya said.

Before the team could pat Helena on the back, another problem arose. A hole in the ground not too far away arose, and a massive creature broke out. It was humanoid... and huge. It stood at least twenty feet tall. Massive, muscular, arms, and almost disproportionate legs. It had fleshy armor around it's body, and gigantic claws. It's mouth was wide, and had enormous teeth that seemed to form a endless abyss into it's maw. It took two steps, and looked at the line.

"Oh, that's not good." Leon said.

The large demon let out a roar before it charged through the ranks. Slashing, bashing, and throwing, aside any of it's fellow demons that got in the way. Sonya immediately fired a shot at it's legs that nailed it right in the knee. Which made it stop for a moment, but it's blood lust was insatiable. It kept going, despite the barrage of bullets it received from the agents. It breached their defensive line, and with one mighty swipe of it's claws, it managed to toss a group of NEST Agents.

Sonya at this point was just hammering it with bullets. Yet, it was still standing. They must be throwing the extra tough ones at it.

It reached for an Agent, but Helena flashstepped in - however, she wasn't fast enough, and the thing grabbed her like it was nothing, and held her up in the air. That's when RAVEN stepped in and started working extra hard to save her. Adam's Echo started a barrage of punches directed at it's arm, while Sonya was shooting it some more. With one decisive strike, Adam punched through it's arm, and it fell off, dissolving as Helena flew off.

However, it kept going. Madly swinging it's remaining arm. It raised it's arm in the air and let out a mighty roar as it slammed it down. Every Agent got the hell out of the way. On impact, it sent out a shockwave that crashed the asphalt underneath it's feet. Adam's Echo quickly flew up, and punched the damn thing in the jaw, and it staggered backwards, before unleashing a quick volley of fists that kept it off them.

Because, while they were dealing with this thing, the rest of the army caught off. They were getting overwhelmed, and the big tough target here didn't help one bit.

"Oh no." Sonya said, worried. "This is no good."

"... Which is why I'm here, yeah?" Maximilian said through the comms as he dive bombed the scene. Echo in front of him, he rained grenades under him towards the beasts. They exploded just as Echo's first blow was dealt to the beast's face. He hit with such a force that it was launched to the ground with a massive shockwave, and a ripple that was sent through it's body. While it was on the ground, Echo raised his fists up into the air, and utterly unleashed a barrage of fists to it's head until it was nothing but paste. The creature then dissolved.

"Hey, thanks." Leon said as he ran up, and started shooting at the demons. "But, we got like, five hundred more to worry about."

"Oh? That?" Maximilian said, as he turned halfway, and faced the army like it was nothing. "Send in the Calvary." He said.

On cue, five Helicopters came flying over head. Black, and sleek, armed with the NEST logo. Underneath them they were armed with containment foam sprayers. When they flew over the demons, they sprayed them down with containment foam, effectively trapping them with the carpet bomb of foam. Leaving only a few stragglers that could be easily dispatched with NEST weapons. They quickly flew over the entrance they were using... and sprayed it shut.

"Alright, Eagle-one is moving out to a different sector. Good luck RAVENS." One of the Helicopter pilots said before they disappeared.

Sonya hopped down from the roof, and stood next to Maximilian with her hands on her hips. Smiling wildly. "Oh?" She said, as she closed her eyes and put her fingers on her earpiece, "Sector five has been secured!" She said.

"Hey now," Leon said, turning his head towards Sonya. "We still need to put up the fences, and the guns, and shit." He said. "Hey, wish we had Agent Vuhong here, she'd be a heavensent right now. Wink wink." Leon laughed.

Rank-and-file Agents ran by and started putting up the fences, and establishing a defensive position.

"I just got off the phone with her, she's heading here now." Maximilian said. "Even though I'm still disgusted with her actions... we could use an Agent like her right now."

"If she'll help, that is." Sonya cheerfully said.

"Agents, set up explosives to get rid of these." Maximilian said, and the Agents quickly ran off to get the explosives he said. He quickly put his finger on his ear piece. "Grue, how many more sectors do we need secured?"

"Five more. Sector one, seven, ten, nine, and zero, are not secured." Dana said. "You best get to work, they're really hammering it on us."

"Alright, we're on our way...." Maximilian said. "Agent Swarm Queen, Agent White Leopard, how are the relief centers going?"

Around the NEST Headquarters, the Agents were establishing a safe zone, and a relief center for people injured during this disaster (Which is reaching the hundreds - with many more dead). They took position in the various buildings around NEST Headquarters (Most of their owners didn't care), and when they were running out of room, they set up tents, and various other places, so that people could get medical attention. The largest center that they managed to secure was the New Eden Hospital. A hospital that wasn't too far away from the NEST Headquarters. They were pouring injured in like a flood.

Nikki and Savannah were, predictably, on guard duty just in case they make a hole there.

The first to answer was Savannah, who was outside the New Eden Hospital doors. In the frigid rain. "Everything's going great - people are on their way, and only a few small ones managed to slip through the cracks." She nodded her head. "We took care of them."

"Alright, keep it up. We'll have the whole area secure in no time." Maximilian said. "Praetorian out." He faced the rest of the RAVENS. "Let's get to work. Sector seven is the closest." He started flying towards the next zone, followed by Helena and Adam.

"... God damn it." Leon said as he ran after them. "Why can't ya'll walk for once? Always flying!" He complained.

Before Sonya could hop off after them, she thought about someone. She pressed her earpiece, and spoke to a special RAVEN, "Heeeey, Agent Sawyer." Sonya started off. "How crazy is it? I ramble about you getting experience, and then you find yourself in the middle of a potential apocalypse! What are the odds!?" She said, awkwardly laughing. "So, where is your position? Mind lendin' us a hand?"
