A/N: Hey guys! HR is here and this is getting closer to a war inside a war, strange isn't it? anyways, i have seen Black Ops III and it looks so sick, i really admired the graphics and the storyline. Also i was stunned by the wall running. That isn't Call of Duty anymore, anyways, it is really good to see those get implemented and the gameplay i think is a lot more smooth that Advanced Warfare, partly because when you jump using the exoskeleton you will get launched into the air and the screen will shake but in Black Ops III it's like you were walking upwards. Feel free to leave review and see you all later.
Previously on Dimension Warfare...
"Guys! you better knock first or i'll-" "you better start fucking talk if you don't want to see your head rolling on the floor" Kate cutted Randall mid sentence as the other nod their head. "what do you mean?" he asked. "You know what the fuck do we mean! Humphrey is killed and neither one of you told us about the impending attack!" Alex yelled. "We did you bastard!" Rook shouted.
.
How did you don't know about Humphrey's wherabout?" Death asked sternly at the Council. The Horsemen has been asking to the Council for more than 10 minutes and still they don't get anything, not even a piece. "You better tell us or we will end you" War grumbled, wielding his sword, but halted by Fury. The Council eyes went bigger. "YOU DARE TO DEFY US HORSEMEN! REMEMBER THAT YOUR POWER COMES FROM THE CONTRACT! YOU SHALL NOT BREAK IT!" the first Council shouted, sending an earthquake through the huge chamber.
.
"I presume that they are using it to travel from one point to other, assuming that they still have it" Rook explained. "But that still doesn't explain why there are no early warnings. I thought the device were built with tracker that when one of it activated, it will show it's location and it can be remotely shut down" Alex asked. "Well, the first thing is, we never plant the tracker in it, but we did in the next one, so we can't shut it down, lucky bastard" Cross cursed. "Yeah, damn faulty design" Death snorted.
.
"So, any ideas?" the male with dark blue skin asked. "I have one, a really bad one" she smiled evilly. "and what's that?" the other male asked. "We're going frame them, with something worse, far worse than war" she told her plan. The three laughed evilly with the evil plan they come up to.
Meanwhile...
Humphrey POV
"Stop right there!" a man yelled at me from behind, once again i've been caught ane this time i don't think i can escape like i did a few days ago. I slowly turn around, inch by inch, my paws up in the air. I keep turning until i could see his terrified face. "D-don't move a muscle..." the man stammered. I just smiled at him, he can be seen trembling at my reaction. As fast as a lightning, i ran from him to the other direction into the forest nearby.
"HEY! Stop right there!" he yelled at me, but i just scoffed playfully and keep running. Soon, as if i was the most wanted person on the planet, hundreds of person, armed with halberd, axe, crossbow, riding their horse were after me. They also brought their dogs to sniff my scent while i run. "Bastard" i muttered under my breath.
I keep running through the forest and lucky me, the forest was so dense and thick that even tesun ray were having trouble to reach the soft grassy surface below. I keep jumping on a rock, sliding through a collapsed tree and run down the hill as fast as i can while trying not to broke my leg. I can hear that they had released their dog to track down my scent while they follow behind. I keep running and running until i can hear their barking. My legs begin to wobble since i haven't take a break since 15 minutes ago. I scanned around to check if it's safe and once i feel it's safe enough, i let myself fall down to the comfy green grass below while my eyes looking up towards the forest canopy.
I begin to replay my memory when i got sucked into the portal that Abaddon created which leads me to this dimension when i was battling them. I wonder if my brother and sister did survive the battle against the leader of Hell and Corruption. Either way, i hope they won the battle and both Abaddon and Absalom were killed and restoring the Balance. I shook the thought off from my head and keep looking at the forest. The morning mist can still be seen in the distance, the water droplets dribbling from leaf to leaf until it reaches the ground. A low rumbling noise can be heard in the distance, i presume it was a waterfall nearby.
What feel like hours turns out only minutes since i laid down on the surface.. I decided that i've go all my energies back so i preparing to walk again. Suddenly, i got shot up high in the air. I screamed as loud as i can. And that's when the humans appear behind some boulder with their dog, i assume that they have left their horses because the track is not suitable. I sighed in defeat,finally, they caught me and have nowhere to go. They all cheered and whistling and one of the man use his sword to cut the snare as i fell to the ground.
They quickly tie a rope around my fore leg and hind leg. They also tie me to a long but thin log as they carry me out o the woods. Million thought begin to run around my mind. What if they decide to kill me? Or even worse, try to make me as a animal attraction for the rest of my life and get mistreated by everyone?. I mentally slap myself for being such an idiot. Had i moved or did not stop for another 5 minutes, maybe, they would never caught me. But in the end, destiny had another plan.
As i being carried to the town, many people gathered around me. Some look with a frightened look while some look at me with a grossed look. I finally arrived at a large building, probably a mansion or a castle, yeah, definitely a castle. The bridge were down and we cross the bridge with a stream of river below. The door itself made by the finest oak wood, maybe chopped down from a nearby forest, probably the same forest as i try to hide myself. I then enter a hallway. The hallway was filled by the morning sun ray, bathing the hall with warmth of the sun. In the end of the hallway, i can see a man sitting on a big chair with arm holder on each side.
He also wear a gold crown so i think he is the ruler of this town. The soldier who carry me stops and lay me slowly on the ground beside them. They then bow to before him, left arm resting on their left hip while their right hand holding a sword. "Long live our King! King Pariah!" They called their King's name. As soon as they said that, i felt a sharp pain on my head. I then plunged into a memory that i even didn't know exist.
A/N: Because Humphrey's memory was erased when he made the contract with the Charred Council, he didn't remember anything before he fell through the hole. The only thing that he remember that he got sucked to the portal Abaddon made. Don't worry, he'll regain all his memories again slowly ;)
Inside Humphrey's mind...
I woke up to see myself, surrounded by humans that i even don't know who the hell are they and how the hell i know them. One of them then charged to me and grab me by my neck. "Why the hell did you left me?!" He yelled at me. Then the whole thing crumbles down as it changes, now i stand beside a destroyed an obelisk like monument.
"Climb it Humphrey!" A voice yelled at me. I begin to climb as he was instructed. And to my surprise, my arm changed to something i didn't know. My left arm transfromed into a claw with some glowing red tendrils and my right arm have a long and sharp blade and again with tendrils attached to it. I climb and launches myself higher to the monument. A countdown then heard through a thing that emitting voice. "30...29...28..."
Whatever he was counting for, i take that as a bad sign. I begin to climb it faster and thanks to that strange power, i can do it faster. For once or twice, i would take a quick glance away from the monument tip. I found a horror that is so bad and sickening that i almost threw up. I was climbing a monument, around it, buildings were caught on fire or get destroyed by bullets. Loud scream nd roar can be heard and i even need to laid my ears back so my ear drums wouldn't exploded. It was a complete chaos, a horrible thing that no living creature wants to live through it.
I regain my trance and notice that the male voice had counted down to 18. I cursed loudly and as fast as a cheetah i climb upwards. "11...10...9..." his counting voice really makes me irritated but again, i need to do it. I finally reach the top and suddenly i lost control over my body. I could only watch as i pull a long red tube and pop it, creating a large green smoke as i swish it around. A flying thing then fly passing me to the night sky. I watch as the same green smoke can be seen in the distance.
Then i returned into the castle, with Pariah standing in front of me.
Pariah POV
"Long live our King! King Pariah!" They called me, but suddenly, the gray wolf start to groan in pain. He begin to rocking side to side violently. I was worried that he might stressed out or he might want to leave. "Untie him!" I ordered. One of my soldier nodded and quickly hurried. But before he could arrive, he have break free and he is clutching his head with both of his paw. I was amazed how strong he was. It is really painfull when you have to snap the rope in your wrist, sometime it could make you bleed. But he is not bleeding, not even a scratch.
He begin to growl in a venomous tone and scream with pure agony. He then release his paw from the side of his side and stare at me with his dark crimson red eyes. I was surprised and startled, i swear, for my entire life i've never seen something as scary and frightening as that. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU LEFT ME?!" he shouted real hard that the glass window shook. He begin to wandering across the hall while screaming.
He suddenly stop moving,not even an inch. The aura is now even darker and scarier. We don't know what will he do if he make a move. He keep staring at the light brown ceiling and i can see clearly he even didn't blink. He suddenly begin counting down on something. "30...29...28..." and it begin to worry me. He continue to climb the wall without tiring himself as if he has unlimited stamina.
He stops dead in the track again and didn't move for an inch. One of my soldiers were aiming for his forepaw that is clinging to the wall with his crossbow. I quickly tell him not to do anything that might going to hurt him, or us. He after a good long 10 seconds starts to move again. "17...16...15..." he keep counting. He continue to climb to the ceiling relentlessly. I move so i am directly below him. He shifts right for 2 foot before stop moving and now he's suspended on the air with only his claw helping him to keep him from falling 12 meters.
When i thought things had gone well, he, out of nowhere, release his grip from the ceiling and diving head first to the floor. My first instinct is to run and catch him right on target, sending us tumbling and rolling around the silk red carpet with my soldiers wathing in anxiety. He then open his eyes and i notice it has changed from scary dark crimson eyes into a heartwarming deep blue icy eyes. I can feel that his heart is beating fast and he is panting from his little 'experience'.
Humphrey POV
"Are you okay?" He asked me. I didn't know what had gotten me. It was something, that i can't describe. Pariah is still looking at me witha concern face so i reply "yes i am okay, thanks" and got up. He let a small chuckle escape from his mouth and i can see that his soldier are surrounding both of us. "Lower your weapons guys, he's friendly" Pariah said. They at first hesitant, that i might kill them but they obeyed nonetheless. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Pariah, king of Alberta" he introduced to me. And in an instant, the same feeling engulf my head again.
But this time i manage to fight back the power, thus keeping me from harming anyone. "You seems like have a very serious problem with something" he tell me while scratching my head, i purred in response. "Yeah...i don't know what is wrong with my head" i said while rubbing the back of my head.
He smiles at me and help me up stand on all fours. "So would you mind telling us all where were you come from and how you'd end up here?" Pariah asked, rather curious and intrigued about my origins. I chuckled at his question and before i answer it, i decide to tease him.
"Do you really want to know? Because i have this...kind of feeling that you were not going to believe at what i would say" i pointed out. He just groaned and put his hand on his forehead. "Yes i really want to know!" He practically yelled at me for being excited.
I smiled and told him and his soldiers to sit in front of me. "Okay, so at first i was just an ordinary wolf from a dimension far from here. The dimension called Darksiders and i am a wolf that can talk in my kin called the Nephilim. We are living an harmony until that fatal day" Humphre stopped and recall Absalom's decision of attacking Heaven.
Those thing would never be erased from his memory. It has been attached for eternity. "My oldest brother, Absalom was enraged when he hear that Humans are going to have Heaven to reside while we don't have home, not even a realm. So with that planted in his mind, he set one and only goal: to prevent Humans from residing in Heaven and made it as our home.
Pariah and his soldier start to shift their body forward, indicating that they are interested to my story. "So while the others support his mad idea, me and my brothers War, Death, Strife and my sister Fury didn't. We all think it is just a foolish attempt to take Heaven as our realm. When they all departs to battle the angels in Heaven, we didn't. Instead, we fled and made a contract with beings bestowed with unimaginable power. We call them the Charred Council."
I vividly remember the day when loyalty exchanged with power. The power that will help us to slay our own kin.
"We sworn to be loyal to them, in exchange, they transformed us with an unimaginable power. They transformed us into the Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They then tasked us to aid Heaven and slay our own brothers and sisters. We battle for days and weeks, killing them mercilessly. We are all brutal and savage but none can compare what my oldest brother Death did."
I recalled the day when Death take the title of the Kinslayer as his. Hell, he murdered at least more than a hundred thousand Nephilims.
"He is savage, merciless, furious, cold hearted, killing machine. He is later known by many beings as the Kinslayer. After we manage to kill all of them, only one and only remain. Our brother Absalom. Death incapacitated him. Absalom then apologize to us and Death try to help him back to his feet. But suddenly, he got dragged by a dark force that we never see before. He was consumed by his own greed and the force later known as the Corruption with him in the center"
The agonising scream Absalom made as we watch him helplessly being dragged down into a void of darkness.
"We mourned and continue with our lives. Until the EndWar come, where Abaddon, the general of Heaven become a backstabbing piece of shit turn his back on his own soldier and become the Destroyer. We were once again being deployed to help Heaven forces once again. We battle against the forces of Hell on Earth and we gain many victories. But then, one day, that day, we encounter a forces that is unexpected before...".
The day when i met the forces of the Corruption with it's familiar leader, our brother Absalom.
"It was the Corruption army. Their savageness and brutality were matched with the Destroyers army, only outmatched by their leaders violence. We were outmatched at first, suffering many casualities and streaks of losses. But we regain our footing and fight back and manage to gain some crucial victories."
I then remember the last battle where we led an attack right to the heart of their army where Abaddon and Absalom awaits us.
"We later take a full frontal assault to the heart of their army and determined to end this once and for all. We the Horsemen slice and dice our way through the hordes of bloodthirsty enemy where Abaddon and Absalom watch us coming. We then battle them. It was an even attack and we start to gain more control, but then, fate has another plan for me. I was distraced by an attack and Abaddon seize it. He makes a portal and push me into it. Sending me to this world where i reside and now inside your castle. The end" i finished my big and long story.
When i was finished, i didn't hear any clapping, not even a single one. Instead, i found a bunch of people had slept in front of me and snoring quietly. Only Pariah stays awake to the end. "Well seems like your story is a good bed time story" he commented after having a look on his sleeping soldiers.
"Yeah, maybe i am a good story teller" i said to myself. He then motioned me to come with him to the front door. "What about your soldier?" I take a glance at the motionless laying bodies. "Don't worry...i'll let them sleep for now" he snickered.
We then flung the door open where his peasants are waiting. Murmur and whispers are thrown at eachother. Mostly is how i could speak human language and why i am not hostile to them. "My friends! Today we have found another miracle from nature! A wolf who can talk! Do not see him as a threat, see him as a friend, an equal human, literally."
Everyone laugh at his little joke.
"Let him have a normal life like us" He moves on. "Tomorrow i will give him some task to convince that he is helpful and friendly. For now, return to your own home" he ended his speech as the crowd disperse. The sun had just gone down from the horizon as moon ascending through the sky.
I then return to the castle with Pariah on my side. "You better get some sleep. Get ready for tomorrow" he informed me. I nodded and proceed to the room that presented to me. The room as one king size bed with oak wood as its frame. There are four tall poles around the bed corners and a transparent sheet spreaded from pole to pole. The window gives a breathtaking view to the two mountains just a few miles from here.
I slowly lay down at the super soft bed. It's like i've drowned into a bucket of goose fur. I take a look to the shining moon one more time before falling asleep quickly.
A/N: Yeah! It's finally done! Hope you guys enjoy and happy new year everyone!
Have a great day and see you all later...
