This is supposed to be a crossover, but I couldn't find the category for Shadows of the Damned. But yeah, hope you enjoy it.
The rain continued to drizzle down on the dimly lit street as I walked towards my kill. I began to brush at where I got clawed, and noticed that my favorite jacket and shirt had been torn to shreds. As I groaned, I pulled them both off and tossed them in the nearest dumpster. A small part of me began wishing that people could see me like this. I mean, don't get me wrong, demon hunting is dangerous as jobs get, but the benefits of the physical activity have begun to pay off, if you catch my drift.
I approached the demon, which had the head of a bull and the body of a man. He was attempting to slowly crawl away, leaving a crimson trail behind him. I stepped on his neck and he had a small spasm. He looked up at me, and began to chuckle.
"Heh, this is almost funny enough for me to be truly amused," his voice growled up at me. "The story of Robbie Shapiro has been whispered in fear amongst my people, but you looked more like a toothpick after a meal."
I pressed my weight on his neck, causing him to cough violently. Sure, I took that kind of joking in school, but I swore that I'd never take it from the Damned.
"Well, now you know," I said. "It's not about how I look, but it's about how I use my equipment, and my equipment is…" I paused to smirk, and pointed my revolver at his temple "…much bigger than yours."
He looked up at the barrel, the skull smiling back at his pain, and glared at me. "You think that you can point that pet gun at all of demonkind, and end us with a simple squeeze of the trigger?" he asked. "Your quest is truly that of a fool. Kill me now, and another will replace me. And another, and another, AND ANOTHER STILL! Give up now, and your death shall be less painful, and possibly quicker. This warning is my final gift to you."
His red eyes burned into my own, and I pointed my gun away from him. "Why, thanks a lot," I joked. "Don't forget to wrap them, and make sure that you get seven more gifts. Hanukah's around the corner, asshole."
He let out a weak laugh, his mortality slowly overcoming him. "Joke now, Demon Hunter, while you still have vocal chords," he whispered. "Oh, and I almost forgot. How are your friends, Shapiro? Are they having fun listening to your stories of the hunt?" I began to feel the heat in my face as he let out a loud laugh.
"FUCK YOU!" I shouted, as I pointed my gun flush to his temple and pulled the trigger. A fountain of blood burst up, and splashed over my face. I wiped the chunks of brain and flesh off my glasses, and saw his limp body lying on the street.
"Hey, you know that we got to get rid of this lug, right?" I heard the voice of Rex say. I looked at my gun, and saw it transform into a flaming skull with demon horns. Rex then floated up to my eye level and gestured to the corpse.
"You're acting like this is my first hunt, Rex," I said to him, grabbing the demon by the ankles and dragging him to the closest back alley. "And what do you mean, 'we'? Last time I checked, I'm the only one with arms and legs here."
"Man, you are the demon hunter, not me," he snipped as I opened the dumpster. "I'm just the gun!"
As I dropped the body in the filth, I brushed my hands and looked up at Rex. "Well, why don't you make yourself useful, and be a gun now?" I asked. He nodded, floated back towards my hand, and transformed back into the revolver. I aimed it at the body, and began to charge it. As the heat radiated from it, I lined up the sight just right, then shot a ball of pure light at the corpse. When it connected, its body was engulfed and dissipated, leaving nothing but teeth, the skull, and a few bones behind.
"There you go, one demon gone, and I get some more ammo," Rex said, as the bones began to gravitate towards him.
"So that's why you call that gun 'The Boner'," I said.
"Yeah, it's kinda funny like that," he chuckled. "Besides, I heard you say that joke about your 'equipment'. I think you're starting to get with the program."
"Whatever," I said, letting the rain wash the remaining blood off my body. "The rest of the blood shouldn't be there if the rain keeps up. Let's go home."
As I walked back into my apartment, I noticed the familiar silence that hung in the air. I then watched Rex transform back into his normal form, and floated towards the puppet he "possesses". He entered the body of it, and I watched as Rex brought the dummy to life. I sat down in front of the TV, and he hopped up to the spot across from me.
"So, can we watch The Real Housewives of Northridge?" he pleaded.
I rolled my eyes. "We're checking for any breaking news that might lead us to another hunt," I told him. "You know, missing women, arson, mass murders."
"Dude, you need to take a break," Rex said. "Bull Head was right. You can't kill all of the Damned, at least not by yourself."
I shook my head, as I focused on the TV. Luckily, there was no bad news, so I shut it off. "Rex, you heard what he said, right?" I asked him. He nodded. "Then you remember what he said about our friends. That means other demons could know about them."
"Aw, man, you don't know that," Rex assured me. "Demons are regular buttholes. They say just about anything to get you distracted. Then they eat your arm like a turkey leg."
"They can try, and they will meet the same fate as that bitch from tonight," I said, rising from the couch.
"I can't believe that you are actually a badass, cursing and killing demons," Rex said, shaking his head. "Then we go to Hollywood Arts, and you become my loyal lap dog."
"Whatever it takes to keep everyone from getting suspicious," I said. "Speaking of school, we should get some sleep. Don't want to be late again."
Rex nodded, hopped off the couch, and walked with me to the bedroom. I picked him up, and placed him in a makeshift bed. I went back to my bed and tried my best to find sleep.
Well, here's to hoping this catches on as a good story, and it makes Robbie look like a badass.
Please read and review, because I do plan on making more chapters, and I would like some direction on where I need improvements (Fights, dialogue, character development, etc.)
I'll update as soon as I can, but it might take a little while between.
