Huh, first time I posted two chapter so close together. I do not lay any claim to any beings in this story, but if I did...

"Paul? No! You can't be dead! No! NO! NOOOOO!" he gave a mournful howl before red filled his vision. Those humans would pay!
All action stopped as a howl was heard, and a few seconds later, something shot out that extinguished all fires. It was then that a black blob shot out of the orphanage before shooting down and slamming on the ground, throwing up dust that clouded their vision. The next thing they knew, a horrible scream was heard, and as the dust cleared, a monster was shown. A giant wolf, easily six feet with wings and blood-red eyes stood over one of those whom had started the fire, and on his back was Paul. As officers with guns took them out and got ready to fire, it looked up. Blood covered it's muzzle as it glared at them.
"You killed Paul" it's voice was deep and powerful with a hint of sorrow.
"That Freak..." it pounced, slamming into the teenager and easily holding him down.
"That so called Freak, human, was my friend! I do not care if it was an accident. Throughout his time here, no one helped him. No one cared that he was in pain. Whenever they were reported, no one looked into it. Well, now I am your Judge, Jury and Executioner. On the matter of his abuse, physical, mental, spiritual and magical, I declare the entire town guilty" as he spoke, blood-red runes appeared around the entire town while the moon above glowed a blood-red colour.
Oh no! He can't! A beam of white shot down, alerting a man in red.
"On the matter of his negligence, I declare the entire town guilty" more runes appeared.
Upon seeing the glow, North sent out the warning, summoning four others.
"On the matter of manslaughter on my friend, I declare this entire town guilty" more runes, and a bubble formed around the entire town.
"What is it now, North?" Bunny demanded.
"Manny is here" a light shone down, and a shadow formed.
"Hallows"
"Your sentence, immediate execution"
It was a slaughter. No one, old or young, male or female, adult, teenager, or child, survived as Hallows' mind snapped. Looking at what he had done, he looked at the blood that covered the ground, saw where the humans had tried to escape, only to hit his barrier, and he growled as he saw a child trying to run. No one would live!
Tooth gasped before pointing at the globe, for lights were just vanishing; they knew where to go.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean..." he grabbed the bully's tongue.
"You and your gang loved to harm him. Well, time for you to feel pain" and he gave a sudden tug, ripping the tongue right out.
Coming out of the Tunnels, they could only stare at the blood that covered everything. Hearing a scream, they ran or, in Tooth's, Jack's and Sandy's cases, flew, to the sound and could only watch as Hallows destroyed a teenager. His ears pulled back, and he turned to look at them, a tongue in his hand, making Tooth go green.
"Hallows! How could you?" she asked.
"They kill Paul! They deserve death!" and reaching down, he eagerly ripped out the teen's throat before shooting to the side. Landing by Paul's body, he picked him up, only to dodge a boomerang. Turning, he snarled at Bunny "You have almost every child, I only had one, and he died, thanks to those things! No more shall Halloween be a night of trick or treating. No more shall it be a night of fun. From now on, it shall be a night of horror. You'd better be ready; I shall be throwing everything I have into it. I shall scare all, fear shall run around the world, and you'd better hope that I never use my full power" he shot off, leaving the Guardians behind, stunned at this change.
Going to his original home, a cemetery in Britain, hidden in a forest of which he and he alone could enter, unless given permission, he gently placed Paul down. He felt as if something was telling him something.
'Don't! You'll kill many!' he looked up and glared at the moon.
"You didn't do your job! I know for a fact that you are the so called Guardian of Children; explain why one was killed on your watch! All shall pay for his death, all!" he went to an empty spot and began to dig, using his paws to easily dig through the earth. When he reached about six feet, he jumped up and looked at Paul. To think that he had to... bury his one and only believer! A new rush of anger filled him up, but he quickly crushed it. Burials are not for anger, and he could always summon Paul. Picking Paul up, he jumped back in the hole and gently lay him down before jumping back up. The Gateway glowed, and Paul appeared.
"I'm... dead?" he asked.
"Yes, but why? Why did you have to die?"
"It was them, the bullies. They ignored your warning and I woke up with them next to me. One of them smirked before dropping the match of which set something on fire, but while I escaped, the fire went out of control. I'm sorry!" Hallows hugged him.
"It was not your fault, but the world will suffer for what those humans did to you"
Screams ran through the streets. Gunshots were heard. Groans and moans made all flee while the moon glowed an angry red. Hallows charged forth, destroying everything he found, putting fear into their hearts while a red barrier stopped them from running. Horror, it seemed, let others see him, and boy was it fun! Giant spiders the size of buildings wrapped up many, the very dead walked the streets while Hallows, he eagerly went wild, not killing anyone, but destroying everything, cars, buildings, all their hopes and dreams beginning to vanish.
One by one, lights on the globe went out.
"We must do something!" Jack stated.
"Jack, it's nearly his day! Too beat him..."
"We have to try! Jamie is in danger!" he would not lose his friend!
"And in other news, the very dead seems to be rising! No one knows how, or why, but all show the exact same thing, a winged wolf" the camera showed the very dead and Hallows charging forth, destroying things.
"Harry..."
Charging forth, the red moon making many scream in fear, he was just about to attack someone when ropes shot out and wrapped around him. Growling in rage, he turned and glared at Bunny who smirked.
"Hello, mate"
"Bunnymund. Why are you here?" he demanded.
"Ye're threatenin kids" Hallows growled some more.
"Some of them killed Paul! If all kids must suffer, Bunnymund, so be it" he struggled on the ropes, but nothing he did helped.
"Yetis made those" he heard North state, and looking at him, Hallows glared at North.
"Let me go!" he ordered while people started coming out. A child gasped.
"Santa, Santa!" the child ran to North who hugged the child, something of which made Hallows roar in rage. He deserved believers, not them! Red energy began to slowly glow around him while his red eyes went as black as the night. He howled as power literally exploded from him, sending out a powerful pulse that easily destroyed buildings. The very earth cracked as everything within a mile was thrown back as if a giant had hit them. The ropes burned as a small amount of fire, the very fire of which killed Paul, ran over his fur of which stuck out in points while streaks of blood red flowed over his fur. His wings changed, for while they were still black, they changed into more like what one would expect a demon to have, bat-like wings with almost horn-like structures at the ends of the joints while his strength physically went to almost insane size, almost like that of a bodybuilder, and curved horns grew out of the top of his head, reaching out sideways and out before curving in, just missing to touch the other above his eyebrows, about thirteen centimetres above his head before curving and the points touching, looking almost like a halo while an orb of fire appeared in the middle.
"Begone, demon! Leave this place that..." he turned and looked at the speaker, a priest, before his shadow seemed to stretch. Out of it came pitch-black dogs with glowing red eyes that walked on their hind legs, and with a grin, they shot out while the priest could only watch.
"Hallows, please! Paul wouldn't want this!" he turned and glared at Tooth.
"And what do you know about my friend, Tooth?! Nothing! He was killed by humans, all because he was so called abnormal!" he turned and, with a roar, he threw his hands out. Nothing happened for a few seconds until the church erupted in fire, but she went in front of him.
"Hallows, listen! What happened was not..."
"All people who follow their kind of text are responsible for the murder of many magicals and non-magicals, all because their god said so. Well, now I pass judgement on all! All shall suffer for the murder of my friend. I already destroyed those responsible, and now, I shall destroy all they hold precious to them" Jack went in front of him.
"Hallows, this isn't like you!" he stated.
"And what would you know, Jack Frost? You were not born the moment winter first began, yet the moment the first festival for the end of one half of the year and celebrating the beginning of the darker half of the year, I was born. I am over two thousand years old, Jack Frost, while you, you are only three hundred! Never have I been seen outside my power, unless I wanted to, and Paul was the first. As my power spreads, so does my power increase, just like you and the others, but as mine increases, yours grows less. I am sorry, Jack, but all will suffer" his eyes glowed a bright, fiery red before he was gone, his little dogs vanishing as well.
Months passed, and it was fairly common to hear screams while Hallows' power grew with every day. Forget his one day, slowly, his power increased so that, combining it with how much his power returned by, and he had a nearly infinite amount of power, but there were close calls. Because he was believed in, even if it was through such ways as spreading fear and horror, people could touch him, and through that, so could their weapons. It was a small price to pay, really, to destroy every weapon they used. His dogs or, as some started to call them, Hounds of Hell, especially after the one time they might have set a farmhouse on fire by summoned fire, went around and made sure people did as told. A new Dark Age was here, with Hallows as king.
