"How long to take back the city? I'm...not sure on that either. They won't give in without a fight, I will tell you that much."

Bzzarro's antennae drooped and he sighed loudly. "I know...." He said. "If I go back to help, I'll be branded a traitor to the cause and killed. But if I sit here, my conscience is going to kill me...."

Yosef came running downstairs, explaining about the several airforce fighter jets and BlackHawks headed for the city. Ignis turned the television on, in hopes of seeing it on the news.
Surprisingly, there was a news chopper in the air, filming the destruction and firefights.

Bzzarro focused on the TV, hoping to catch any good news himself.
"We're here live above what remains of New York city...." A brave anchor started. "Just a day into this catastrophe, and you can already see the destruction. Just...Oh my god.....It...It's just hard to believe that only a few days ago this was a bustling metropolis...."

There was auto cannon, machinegun fire and explosions all throughout the city as the army moved to take back New York.
Ignis watched it too, and Yosef informed them of the US army forces around. Ignis knew he did not need to take any precautions since he was far enough away from New York he and everyone else would be safe.

Bzzarro sat and watched intensely, hoping to god that nothing bad happened to the news reporters.
"You can see the carnage here already, barely into the city now. Down below us the search for any survivors is on and....Oh...oh my god....What the HELL is THAT!?!" The reporter screamed as the camera panned out and onto the fuzy image of one very large demon fighting off several Venatus special ops men.

"The military is too short staffed to handle this. They're going to try and save important cities.. then the rest..." Ignis explained. "If any of them show up here, we'll refuse to leave..."

Bzzarro ignored that comment, rocking back and forth nervously.
The helicopter suddenly shook violently. "Wha--what's going on?!?" The reporter asked, completely losing composure on camera. The helicopter shook again, soethign was wrong. "Oh lord what is that thing!?!" Some winged demon was in view from the camera, and it was ramming against the helicopter, trying to knock it out of the air.

Ignis wanted to see if Bzzarro could take it, if he was to stay around them he would have to put up with stuff like this. Yosef just kept quiet.
Venatus infantry and armor were too busy trying to protect themselves to assist the news chopper, something that would most likely lead to future skepticism.

Bzzarro sucked in a deep breath, obviously uncomfortable. "I can;t do anything about it, I can;t help...." He mumbled to himself, trying to keep from doing something stupid.
The helicopter pulled up and away from the demon, who screeched and went after them.

Ignis eyed Bzzarro, noting how uncomfortable he was. "Many will die... but many more demons will die after..." Ignis explained.
Some soldiers attempted to shoot the demon down now, a complicated process because of the helicopter.

"I know.....That is all it is, it is carnage. They...They're just going to keep fighting each other until the one side can stand no more losses...."
The demon rammed the helicopter once more before a bullet ripped a long slash in it's wing, and it plummeted to the ground, screeching the entire time.

"Welcome to human race..." Yosef simply stated as he continued to watch the television. Luckily, Jeschi was on guard duty.
Haiyato finally came down to see what the commotion was all about.
The soldiers scattered to avoid getting crushed.
