Chapter 1: The Mask

Hellboy was chasing this Hellhound called "The Grieving". It's the same species as Sammael but it has grey skin and red glowy eyes. Except unlike Sammael, this one lets out a head buzzing screeched. Hellboy had just gotten it a couple of times but then it screeched.

Stanley Ipkiss was in bed. He was normally in bed by this time. But he was asleep holding The Mask. He must have been dreaming about the time he robbed the bank, but at some point or other, he put the mask by accident. Stanley spun around in a tornado and woke up as The Mask, wearing a yellow suit and hat. "What must I do now?" The Mask thought. "I must get out of here!" He thought. He hadn't known he had put on the mask in reality so he headed off to the museum. The same one that Hellboy was in by some coincidence. Hellboy was shooting at The Grieving when other gunshots hit it. Hellboy looked over to see a man wearing a green mask and yellow suit. "You know, thanks for the help but I don't know who you are." Hellboy told off The Mask. But what sent a chill down his spine was when The Mask tried to take something out of one of the display cases. Hellboy was going to stop him from robbing. "I know you can't go anywhere without your mask!" Hellboy yelled at The Mask. "What?!" The Mask yelled. But that mask was stuck to Stanley tight. Hellboy was going to have to use his right hand of doom to punch him and remove the mask. He finally got it. "Got it - wait a minute this isn't your mask! Yours was bright green and rubber. This things wooden and dark green." Hellboy thought. "I'm leaving you here." He told an unmasked Stanley. "I don't even know what's going on here!" Stanley tried to explain. "Yeah, don't pull that crap on me." Hellboy cut in. He brought the mask with him by mistake.

When Hellboy got back to the B.P.R.D building, he noticed he had brought the mask with. Boredom got Hellboy and he decided to put on the mask. He picked up the mask that he threw on the floor. He put the mask on his face and it tried to suck to him. The mask glew a green beam across it and Hellboy eventually had the mask on. But now, it shot some kind of tentacles out of the mask and it eventually covered all of Hellboy's face. He tried to pull off the mask with his right hand of doom, but it was useless. "Oh, crap." He thought. He then began to spin around in a tornado. "Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Craaaaaaaaap!!!!!!" Hellboy said while he spun around. He stopped soon enough. He then walked around until he found a mirror. When he saw himself in the mirror, he didn't see himself. Instead, his face was bright green, and he was still wearing his black shirt. "Huh? What just happened?" Hellboy thought to himself. "You know, I wonder what I could do with the mask on." He thought more. He stepped outside of the room and went to find Tom Manning. He was in the middle of napping in his chair when he saw a green head. He woke up and he jumped. "Who are you?" Manning asked. "You know who I am." Hellboy said. Manning took a good look at him. "You don't look like anyone I know. This is private property, sir. If you don't -" He continued. "Leave? Well, I think it's a little too late for that." Hellboy said, as he pulled out an oversized shotgun. "I didn't know I had this." He thought. Manning gasped and went for cover. "Ehh, I'll use something else." Hellboy said as he pulled out a different weapon. It was a chainsaw. "Hey, don't you see the horns, you idiot?!" Hellboy yelled. Manning did and he recognized him right away. "Hellboy, what happened to your face?!" He asked. "I put on a mask! Anyone could see that. See the red on ny hand?!" Hellboy said, as he showed him his right hand of doom. Hellboy left and Manning was left shocked at the oversized shotgun. He decided to go grab a beer when Abe Sapien went to go tell Hellboy something. He turned around. "I'm wearing a mask, Abe. I hope you aren't as stupid as Manning was to realize that." Hellboy explained. "I know it's you, Red, because of the horns." Abe replied. "Now, I have some news. When Princess Nuala committed suicide and her and Nuada went to gold, once we left, some guy wearing a big green mask like you are decided to steal the pieces, but apparently, he wasn't smart enough to hide them, so he left them for us." Abe explained. "I know of another guy with a green mask." Hellboy explained. "I got from him. He had a yellow suit, right?" He asked. "Yes, he did." Abe replied. Hellboy pulled off his mask, after some effort, and showed Abe that it was a piece of wood. "Red, I think you picked up something valuable." Abe said. "You picked up the mask of Loki, a norse night god of mischief." He explained. "He's come back once and got his mask back. But somehow it's gotten back to earth." He continued. Abe took the mask from Hellboy and placed it in a display case, next to Kroenen's smashed mask.
