Part 1: Rise of the Devil Dog
6 AR-After Remina
He did not know how he got here. One moment he was dead, just when he had Griffith in his grasp. The next, he woke up alive and healed. He took a big breath of air in, surveying his surroundings. His armor was on the ground next to him, and he quickly put it on. He found himself in a misty, sunlit forest. Honestly, he was expecting an eternity in hell with the way he lived his life, not heaven. Than again, this may be hell, and he wouldn't be surprised if the Godhand were waiting for him to drop his guard. Hesitantly, he walked forward, looking for signs of life. Five minutes later, he turned around a tree into a clearing.
What he see's makes him pause damn near instantly.
In front of him are what appears to be a squad of apostles. Female apostles. Of course, all the female apostles he's seen in his life were ugly hideous things, not these entities of allure and sex. In fact, were it not for their horns, wings, and tails, he would not have thought of them as apostles at all. They appear to have won a battle with a group of human knights. Instead of eating the men alive, (The usual apostle victory celebration) they are, to be blunt, doing very heretical things to the poor bastards. He tilts his head, taking in the sight. That is when the monstrous women turn to stare at him. He stares back. For five seconds, the clearing remains perfectly still. Then, a sadistic grin forms on his face.

He decides that he is definitely in heaven as he stands over the shredded, torn remains of the monstrous women, covered in their blood. In his hands, he holds a massive weapon that he had pulled right out of the ground. It was thick, dark, heavy, and absolutely soaked in the blood of the women, along the men who could not get out of his way during his frenzy. Through the psychotic haze of the battle, he was able to learn a few things about this new world.
"N-N-No please your Goddess wouldn't have you be so cruel-ACK!" one of the monster women pleads before he soullessly rips her in two.
"I-I-If you let me live I'll let you feel really good-GAH!" another one whimpers before he impales her on a tree branch.
"H-H-Hey if you want to I can help you meet the Monster Lord she'd pay you reallywellohdarkgdodsno-" the last survivor begs as he beats her to death with her own tail, a black limb with a spade at the end of it.
He then stands in the middle of the blood stained clearing, blood on his muscled form and a smile on his face, before he picks up a map he took from one of the dead men. He scans it, before finding a location exactly to his liking. He honestly doesn't know why he ended up in this insane, bizarre world, but now he doesn't care. After all, with a place like "Succubus Village", why should he care?
After all, life is a waste.

Ako the Succubus ran forward, tears in the teenage succubae's eyes as her long black hair trailed behind her.
Smoke and flame obscured her vision as Succubus Village burned.

It was all so sudden. This morning, she was chatting with her fellow succubi, thinking up ideas to snatch up cute young boys, when everything went wrong.
An explosion was heard, and she turned around. Her jaw dropped at the sight. A runaway wagon was flying down the street with no driver, as though it had been pushed down a hill. It was on fire, and on top of it were spikes impaled with naked, mutilated dead bodies.
"What in the Dark Gods name-"
"I recognize some of those ladies-
"We sent them to search for human livestock, but they've been gone for five days-
"Did the Church of Ilias do this-"
But Ako just sat there staring in shock and horror as the wagon barreled down through town into the center.
Right into the Town Hall. A thunderous explosion shook the ground and sent everyone falling to the ground, as ash and soot was spread everywhere. Ako coughed as she and her friends got up.
"Have I gotten your attention yet?"
Everyone in town turned to see the source of the voice, the clear instigator of the attack. Calmly walking forward was a human. Outwardly, at least. But Ako took a second longer to look, and she found her first impression rapidly changing. He was a massive behemoth, far taller than any human had the right to be like. She remembers muscled men among those captured by the village in the past.
The abomination in front of her made those men look like shota's.
This man's muscles were hard looking, cruel, and bulging, like he could snap her in half just by flexing. The arms were encased in black gauntlets with sharp claws at the end, further accentuating his fearsomeness. He wore black armor that covered his chest, back, and shoulders, while leaving his legs exposed. However, the blood covering his similarly heavy legs made it clear that the usual monster approach to attacking would be met with swift punishment. He had a cruel smile on his uncanny face, a sadistic grin that reminded her of the look a succubus would have as she toyed with her prey.
She had that look on her face at times too.
His head was covered by a helm resembling that of a carnivorous animal, like a wolf or a bear, with his pale eyes scanning the crowd hungrily. What truly, however, drew, her attention was the man's weapon.
It was thick, heavy, dark, and absolutely soaked with red blood. She noticed some green and blue blood too, showing that this man had been killing far more than just succubi. She shuddered.
That's when three nearby guard succubi finally made their attack. They leaped at him, blades outstretched as they prepared for a lethal assault. The fact that they were trying to outright kill him instead of sucking him dry made the danger of the situation more clear than ever.
It was not enough.
The man swung his weapon ONCE.
In less than a second, all three guards were dead, their bodies crushed beyond recognition as the were smashed and pasted into a wall, through a window, and a tree respectively. The Beast in the form of a man kept his eyes on her all this time, his cruel smile widening.
A ring of fire began to surround the village, smoke hiding available escape routes.
"Finding that wagon filled with explosives wasn't easy, so was dragging those dead bodies around, but the looks on your faces are so damn worth it."
Amidst the chaos of the horrifying declaration, Ako finally found her voice. "Wh-What do you want!" she stammered out in fear.
The man grinned before stating his one and only demand.
"Run."
She did so. They all did. It was not enough.

Fear overtook as she ran through the burning village. She had not worn any clothes today, and she was regretting that decision as hot ash struck her every few seconds. She smelt blood as the evil man ripped and tore at his victims. Some succubi tried to fight him. They were crushed into red dust. Others simply ran. He simply responded by throwing whatever he could at them. Rocks, branches, even other succubi. The lucky ones died from the sheer impact. The others met a curb stomp to the skull or a black club to the spine. Ako ran forward as fast as she could, the screams of her dying friends and the laughter of the black dog of death behind her. She selfishly hoped that he would remain distracted while she ran to the home of the only one she thought could help.
She was at the place now. She forcibly kicked the door open, the heat of the growing fire on her back. She called out. "Chief! The village is under attack!"
At the top of the stairs in the Chief house, the leader finally appeared. The Succubus Chief, despite her high position, wore a humble red soothsayers outfit, one popular with many succubi. She had blonde hairs and red eyes, rather common traits for most succubi. She had a classic witches hat, and had a bust that made Ako feel envious, especially compared to her own rather flat che-Now wasn't the time to be thinking about that.
The Chief nodded, completely serious. "I know, I saw everything through my upstairs window. I managed to contact some of our fellow succubi with a spell. After we escape, we'll meet them at another village." Ako was dumbstruck. "Can't we just take this guy out?" The Chief sighed, clearly unhappy about the situation too. "My niece, I don't think any of us can take this man on in our current state. We'll need to regroup at the second village, the one where the Purple Sabbath occurs. We have to retrain our warriors and rebuild our numbers before we can hope to fight him. We'll call the Monster Lord if we have too. Right now, fighting that freak is a suicide mission." Ako accepted this with hesitation. She was about to speak up when she heard the worst possible thing she could have in this situation.
Someone knocked on the entrance door.
"Little pig, little pig, let me IN BEFORE I BLOW THIS HOUSE DOWN."
The Chief's eyes widened."Ako, get up here quickly!" She didn't have to be told twice. She ran up and followed the Chief up another flight of stairs into a room. She heard the house shake as the entrance door was blown apart by a tremendous strike. Mad laughter followed her as the Chief desperately locked the door. The Chief got a confident look on her face. "He can't get past the door enchantments-"
A heavy fist punched through the door. The grinning face of death peered inside. The Chief opened another door, and Ako quickly followed her into a big hallway just as the black hound at the door finally broke it down. The Chief finally opened another door, and she and Ako ran inside as the dark murderer calmly walked towards them in the hallway.
"Game Over dinnertimeturkeys!"He confidently taunted. The Chief pressed a switch on the wall, and the ceiling collapsed onto the man, who just smiled as he was buried. The Chief triple locked the door behind the both of them. They panted. Ako worked up the nerve to talk. "That oughta hold him down for a good half hour-" the killers black weapon pierced through the door, knocking it down. Ako turned around- and saw no other doors to escape through. A sinking feeling enveloped her heart as she back away, tears in her eyes.
She didn't want to die.
The Chief defiantly placed herself in front of Ako, ready to fight. "You'll have to go through me first-"
"Thanks!"
Cheerfully, he reached forwards, two of his fingers held out like scissors. Like a flash of lightning, he brought the two digits down on her head.

Ako stood numb with horror as the Chief's head seemed to explode in a shower of red and pink. Too shocked, she was unable to dodge when a clawed fist found it's way onto her throat.
"Have you ever played SKIN THE CAT?!"
Laughing and smiling, Wyald proceeded to do what he did best.

Five minutes later, he walked out of the room, a skip in his steps, a smile on his face, and blood all over his hands and head. Wyald hefted his heavy black wooden club over his shoulder as he exited the Chief's house, searching for new victims.
In this world of monster girls, Wyald was truly at home.
By the time he was finished, the entire population of Succubus village was destroyed, save one.

The nine year old succubus ran as far as she could, holding onto her scarf, her body encased by a black cloak that was a bit large for her size. She could remember mommies last words before the scary man snatched her up. "Run! Run as fast as you can! Run until you can't see this village behind you anymore!" And so the little one ran until her legs couldn't take it anymore. Sitting down on a stump of a tree, the young succubus took a moment to breath. That was when the sheer enormity of what had happened finally caught up to her. Pressing her hands to her face, she sobbed uncontrollably, having lost everything. She seemed to cry for hours, because when she was done, it was night outside and the moon shined in the sky.
"Why are you crying?"
The succubus immediately looked up. For one terrifying moment, she thought that the evil man had found her. Luckily, this was not the case for in front of her was another girl. She was wearing a simple brown tunic that had seen better days. She had pointy green ears, along with similarly colored skin. Her green claws, tail, and scaly feet instantly revealed the girls draconic heritage. Slung over the girl's back like a sword was a tree branch. However, to the succubus, the most striking feature of the young dragonkin was her golden eyes, and her fiery red hair. The girl tilted her head and spoke.
"I'm heading to a place called Gold Volcano. Care to join me? We can talk on the way." Rubbing her eyes and sniffling, the survivor got up and joined the girl. As they walked to their distant destination, the succubus began to open up to her, and they began to make conversation with each other. First, they spoke each others names.
"Alma Elma"
"Granberia"

A/N:
I'm so sorry for not doing this earlier. Basically, my old account was linked to my High School account which was deactivated when I graduated. Shit!
Luckily, I have a new non-school account, and I'm ready to give this nightmare factory the continuation it deserves.
All feedback is heartily appreciated.
