Peter and Adri were still stunned by the loss of everyone they knew when they heard boots coming in their direction. They knew it wasn't anyone coming to help, it was whoever had killed their friends and family coming to finish the job. Adri looked for something to do some damage in return with. All she could come up with was part of the ceiling she took up like a shield, she hoped to block some of the incoming fire to get close enough to do more. Peter just resigned himself to his fate, his only worry was the volume of history he carried was the last of its kind for the worship of the fire god.
Their executioners arrived, and said little. Adri charged and the ceiling panel was able to deflect some of the bullets before it was punctured and she was gunned down. Peter upon seeing his last friend die screamed and charged forward, he too was met with bullets and died slightly behind Adri, a tribute to never being able to keep up with her. The men confirmed both deaths and were on the way out when a woman in a red suit appeared. They who had never seen the Fire God mistakenly believed she was someone who had been missed by their scans and they opened fire on her, which did nothing. The bullets drilled through her clothing, but did not seem to affect either.
"What are you?"
"The god of whom you have murdered my followers." The men laughed.
"Right whatever force field you have bitch it'll fail with enough..." Their leader didn't get to finish, he was burned from the inside out, The Fire God thought little of these insects, even less so when they didn't give her the proper respect. The rest of the men for all the good it did opened up on her. She killed them with all the effort of swatting a particularly annoying fly. The troops dealt with The Fire God approached the bodies of her last disciples. So many of her people had been killed, so many followers lost, and she cared little. But this, whatever this was, upset her. These followers had mainly just wanted to believe. The large one in front of her even carried a volume of her history, he had shielded it so that it might survive when he would not. She reached down with her power, tapped into something she normally did not and brought them back to life. They looked surprised about being alive, and then shocked when their God herself stood in front of them.
"I'm sure you two have some questions."
