Who are they?~

745-400 was knocked to the wall with all the mechanical joints wrecked and some veins leaking blood. He stood up, mustering strength, and shouted, "You wrench, how dare you take away my precious blood!" In the next second, someone emerged from the smoke and dust – it was the head of 465. Following it was a barrage of punches, launching toward him with full destructive power, not even leaving a second of chance for 400 to escape or attack. "Kkaaah, what is this thing? How can it have so much impact in each punch? It almost feels like rain of large rocks!"

"Don't you dare call it yours, you fake!" she said while destroying him with punches within seconds. "Aah boss, from that voice, I guess you are here," Stark slowly muttered to himself with no vision left due to blood shortage.

No 400 tried to get some blood for recovery from nearby bodies by opening his head, which was fully made up of mechanical parts. A pipe started to come out of it, but unfortunate for him, Vel was still on a punching barrage. She grabbed the pipe, which had small spikes on it, and punched the head so hard it broke him into pieces. "Help me, 202…" he cried, and then he died.

The person with long hair, named 745, was shocked and stunned. Fear gripped her legs. "How could we die? Aren't we the chosen ones? How is it possible for a devil to kill us?" Instinctively, she tried to run away from Vel, but noticed she was not coming after her. As she was running away, she thought, "Why is she not coming after me?"

"Why are my arms not coming?" 202 wondered as her arm, with Stark entangled in it, remained behind and disappeared into the dark. As Stark fell to the ground while entangled, he could only feel and hear a few things. His face was exhausted and depressed. He noticed the sound of someone's footsteps approaching him. He grasped the person who might be the source of the sound, and it stopped. "I am sorry, boss... I... I let them all die," he said with his tight chest and hardly breathing.

Unexpectedly to him, Vel hugged him tightly. "You idiot, why do you always go reckless?" she mumbled, and tears started to flow from Stark's eyes silently. "Sorry, boss. All of them were already dead and dried before I arrived. Sorry for being so pathetic," he said and soon fainted down with tears. She stood and carried him on her shoulder and started walking the path after 202, passing the bodies of his dead crew members. She turned the remaining bodies of those two creatures into bits until they could not move anymore.

Vel's consciousness moved to her own world.

Someone was mining in a dark place with hardly any visibility, just keeping on mining. Following her, many people side by side kept mining until many of them stopped and looked toward her. "Sorry, boss. Looks like this is it. See you later," Mue said, and everyone who dropped their pickaxes started going back. "See you soon," she said with eyes full of tears but not letting them come out, and kept digging forward with the rest of the people without looking back.

Soon, 202 arrived at a place within a building where a huge mountain of dead bodies had formed. Among these, a few of her comrades were sitting on the largest one. All of them were enjoying or taking human blood through different means. Some were directly eating it, others were feeding through their claws, and one with a large number of thin needles emerging from his back directly into each body. "HMMM, THIS FEELING... It is like coming back to life," one of them said.

In all this, 202 came running without arms. "Sir, we... we need to run away. There is a—" Before 202 could finish the sentence, the second being cut her in half with one of his sharp and thin rapiers that could act as a pipe, while he was still sitting. "How dare she run away from the lowly devils, on top of that losing your mouth. If I were her, I would cut my own veins," said the person in the dark. "757-002, you should control your anger. She was our own species. What if she was about to give some useful information about the person coming behind her?" said 001, while looking somewhere else and having orangish pupils.

In complete silence, suddenly Vel emerged from the darkness, carrying a pole in the mud of blood with her eyes on the prey sitting. "I have to admit it, you are a beast under a devil’s skin," said 757-001 with his orange pupils. "So you dolls even have those things," Vel taunted him with serious eyes. "Lower your eyes, you insect," 002 shouted as someone silently walked from behind her and jumped at her from behind. She quickly turned for punching, but her punch was grabbed by his teeth. This creature tried to cut her fist for blood and applied force. As she was about to use another arm, 002 threw his rapier at her which was coming from below the belly button, which she dodged. Following her, she used the creature eating her fist as a shield. But it pierced through him and attacked her. She fell back and very quickly threw the fist, while the creature was eating it, onto the rapier, which he quickly took back. The ground broke, and one side of the creature's head was also damaged. But she did not stop there and kept hitting the ground till nothing was left of his head. "Next," she said, throwing the broken one aside it was still moving or crawling toward the blood but could not since nothing is left in him to move.

Soon, bodies were thrown all over her head. One of the remaining creatures secretly hid and threw a claw attack at her back at very fast speed. She ducked and pierced her rod through it, kicking it in the air. While she was dodging the falling bodies, she noticed that those receiving a fatal wound and with no source of feeding could not move anymore. While she was thinking, someone's hand came from the ground, holding her leg so tight with its claws that it almost resembled a human hand. "Got you," said 002 while thrusting his large rapier toward her.
