Push It To The Limit

United Nations Secretariat Building, Manhattan, New York.
March 5st
10:20  PM

I was walking as fast as I could. A long corridor, then to the right, a little further ahead were the bathrooms, I knock on the door with a little rhythm, the person on the other side unlocks the lock, I quickly look around that no one else is around and I enter as soon as possible to close the door. Inside the women's bathroom was Xian with a dagger in her hands, next to her a quite muscular man was tied to a chair, he was quite injured, his clothes stained with his own blood.  The young girl ran the knife lightly across the man's face, making a new wound. 

"That man deserves it!"  the demon spoke.
"I like what she's doing, she has the spirit"
"I like her, I wouldn't mind sharing my husband with her"
"She has a really good body that Cesar would have like to have in his collection"
"Quick! force her to be part of the Harem!"

"Lisa shut up!"

"Lisa?"
"Who is Lisa?" Xian asked.

"Forget it, today I've been saying so many names that I'm getting confused when I speak"
"You the idiot over there!"
"You know what I want to know, talk now!"

"Fuck you!"

As soon as Xian heard his reply, she kicked the chair where the man was, causing him to fall to the ground. She got on top of him and thick to punch his face repeatedly. She later raised him back to the chair and hit him again with the dagger. 

"None of us three want to be in this the rest of the night"
"Speak now!"

"Bitch" said the man while spitting on me.

While I was still processing what just happened. Lisa's upper torso came out of hiding, a metal stake in each hand and she drove them into the man's knees. On her face, you could see her demon nature smiling at the ways she was going to continue torturing the man to death. I couldn't afford to lose him, I needed to get something out of him, so I took the girl by the arms to stop her before it was too late. 

"Stop, I still need him alive!"

"Fuck"
"Ok, I'll leave it to you for now, but if he does something again I'll drag him down here" Lisa threatened the man as her figure deformed horribly and laughed as she stepped back into my shadow. 

Of all the times she has done that she has never done it in such a threatening and horrible way as now. It was clear that she had done it with the intention of terrorizing the man.

"What the hell was that thing!" The man had thrown himself back trying to get away from me as he spoke.

But he was not the only one, Xian had seen everything too, and like him, she was surprised and scared too. She was by the sinks with her dagger in front of her trying to protect herself from Lisa.

"What you just saw is your future if you don't give me a damn answer!" Seeing that he was on the verge of collapse from the scare that took me, I took advantage of the situation.

"Boss was what just happened!"
"Didn't you see what came out right below you?"
"That was not human!"
"My family has experience in taking care of them for generations, I could  tell my grandmother to reserve a day for..."

"The one I need to speak to is him, you shut up"

"Did she just casually mention that her family has experience hunting monsters?"
"She might be of more help than I thought!"
"We need her to end up married along with "Darling" too"

"And you also shut up, you already have me annoyed too!" I shouted to the ground.

"I'm sorry"

"Okay, it's true that they paid me a lot in exchange for hurting you."
"The pay was pretty good and you didn't seem like an important person compared to President John"
"I thought it would be easy money, but all the money in the world is useless if things like that exist"
"They are also supposed to pay me an extra bonus if I managed to give information or open the vault but the system is too complex"

"The president, what plans did you have for him !?"

"I swear that he was not in our plans, nobody had the courage to be the number one enemy of a country like the United States!"
"What is the use of having all the money in the world if you are not going to be calm for the rest of your life?"

"The orders, who gave them !?"

"He mentioned that he was an acquaintance of yours, a certain Wilhelm, Vilhelm, Williem or something like that"

"This man got too talkative after meeting me, I wonder why it will be"
"I'm sure no one can resist my beauty like the rest of those damn men"
"Can I finish killing him?"

"Who else is working with you!"
"How many of you are left?"

"Do not know"
"I thought he was the only one"
"Surely they did not tell me so that I would not compromise the mission"

"I don't believe it"

"It's the truth!"
"I swear, I don't know anything else!"

"Xian, you take care of the rest, I don't have time for this"
"Don't make me come back because next time I'm not going to stop her"

Xian who at all times was in the corner of the room came out and got close to the man again. But this time she didn't look like a professional assassin trying to get information out of her enemy, she was as scared as he was, they both seemed quite confused.  But I really had no time to waste, there was too much to do to be questioning an idiot who knows nothing. 

I returned as fast as I could to the crisis room to continue monitoring progress at the Empire State Building. It had been hours since the Thunderdome operation began, but the great number of casualties and great enemy resistance in the place has made that gained ground in the skyscraper is a real pain.  It is incredible to see how brave the soldiers have been and how brutal their efforts have been in order to fulfill their mission.  I got back to my station and turned the monitor back on.

"What floor are they on now?"

"Dad and the others are right now going up to the 51st floor" Charlotte, my granddaughter answered me on the other side of the monitor.

Next to her were also my daughter Maria and Momo wearing her very peculiar costume. All of them were from the safety of the base created in the port of the city, behind them you could see a lot of soldiers going in all directions 

"Is there any other information regarding the portal?"
"Does it really exist and is it under the hands of the Empire?"

"Well leaving out whether they have it or not, the most difficult part of a portal is the high energy consumption necessary for it to work, because it's something so high that humans wouldn't normally be able to allow it"  Momo replied.

"Hell this could be bad"
"Remember the blackout in the city went in the afternoon"
"New York has three different power plants to supply the city"
"And all three power plants have been under enemy control at some point" I mentioned.

"Even if they had all three power plants they still need at least a full year to have the level of energy needed just to start it up"
"As I said, that's something that humans couldn't afford because of its cost of turning it on"

"If it need for so much energy, how are you able to use it normally for the day-to-day?"

"Well there are different ways to achieve it, the first would be that our technology is the most advanced that exists, so for the angels not at all difficult to achieve"
"There are also hundreds of materials that humans have not discovered that could produce or store the necessary energy"
"In addition, our portals can even work with magic, it consumes a lot and is not available to anyone, but for example, it was Tamamo who gave enough energy to the portal through which she and Cesar returned to earth"
"It only took her to touch a crystal for thirty seconds to make it work for two days"
"But well, Tamamo is Tamamo"
