Heahea city was a town known all across Alola for its hospitality. Whoever you were, where ever you came from, Heahea city would welcome you. In this town you could find shops, hotels, amazing food, cool blue water at the beaches…

…and a five-foot-nine warrior from Hell.

Needless to say, Heahea seemed to freeze for a few minutes when the Doom Slayer arrived. Everyone watched silently as the green-armoured man walked into the city, looking at the sights. Eventually, someone worked up the courage to approach him.

"Uh… Alola?" A somewhat older woman said in a nervous greeting.

"Hello." VEGA answered. "I am VEGA."

"Uh, don't take this the wrong way, but are you here to kill someone?" She asked nervously.

"No. The Slayer does not want to harm anyone. We are not from around here, and as such, we are trying to figure out where we are."

"S..Slayer? I thought you said your name was Vega?"

"No, apologies. I am an artificial intelligence program; the Slayer doesn't talk very often."

"Oh… well… Welcome to Heahea City. My name is Tammy."

In the Slayer's helmet, a map began forming, being marked 'Heahea City'. The Slayer looked around, the city seemed like the last one he was in.

"Are you hungry? Or do you need a place to stay?"

The Slayer remained silent, thinking things over. Finally, VEGA spoke for him:

"If there is a place where we could stay for the night, it would be appreciated."

"Well, in that case, there's the Tide Song Hotel, it was be the best place for you…"

"I understand that the Slayer's name and presence may make the townsfolk here uneasy. But rest assured, the Slayer is not here to harm anyone."

Tammy nodded, looking the Slayer up and down.

"Um, what region are you from, exactly?" She finally asked.

"We actually may be from another Dimension." VEGA answered simply.

"Wait, another dimension?" Tammy asked, surprised. "Does that mean you're from the Dimensional Resear-"

The older woman was going to say something, when cries of anger and shock cut her off. The Slayer watched two younger people ran by down the street. Form the glimpse the Slayer got, both of them seemed to be wearing black-and-white bandanas, gold chains and had neon colour hair. It was also clear they had just robbed several people. One of whom was a small girl.

"Yo! Clear the way gramma!" One of them shouted, running past an older woman.

"Not them again…" Tammy muttered.

"Hey! Get back here!" A younger woman shouted, both angered and saddened. "They stole my Vulpix!"

"I have to apologize… Team Skull has been an issue for…"

The older woman blinked when she saw the Slayer was gone. She turned and saw him tearing down the road at speeds no one could think was possible for a man wearing the amount of armor he was.

"Cu?"

Looking down, the older woman saw that the Cubone the newcomer had arrived with was now in her arms, looking up in confusion.

"Um…"

Outside the town, a group of Team Skull were laughing and seeing what they had gotten form their most recent raid.

"Yo, like, did you see that woman when we yanked her stuff?" One of them laughed. "I thought she was gonna cry!"

"Ay, what'd you get? All that kid had was a Zigzagoon…" Another one grumbled. "I mean, even for a beginner Pokémon the kid could do better…"

"Whoa! Check this out!" Another one said opening a bag, looking down at the bag, seeing a decent amount of money and some jewelry. "Ch-Ching! The boss is gonna be happy!"

THOOM!

The Skull Grunts jumped in surprise when a newcomer landed nearby, seemingly falling out of the sky. The Doom Slayer slowly stood up, towering over the Team Skull grunts, and his body language was clear:

He.

Was.

PISSED.

"Eh, who's the spaceman?" One of the grunts finally asked snapping back to reality.

"This is the only warning you will get." Vega suddenly spoke. "Return what you have taken, or I cannot guarantee your survival of the following encounter. The Skull grunts all looked to one another, then back at the Doom Slayer, and burst out laughing.

"Right! Right! What's the jolly green giant gonna do?!" One of them laughed.

"I'm so afraid! What's he gonna do? Pull a magical weapon out from his-"

Chk-chk

The laughter stopped immediately when the Slayer pulled out his chain gun, and aimed it directly into the small group.

"Heh… he can't take all of us!" One of them stammered out, trying to hide the newly-found terror that was threatening to wet his pants.

The Slayer activated the mobile sentry modification, and the chain gun changed into its triple-barrel form.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me…"

"Scyth!"

The Slayer felt something like a sword slash across the back of his armour. The attack hit him with enough force to make him stumble forward slightly. Whirling around, the Slayer saw another one of these… Pokémon? Was that what they were called? Whatever. This one stood on its hind legs and seemed like a giant insect, with two sharp blades for its hands and wings on its back. The Slayer quickly switched for his shotgun and racked a shell, one-handed.

The insect creature shot forward faster than the Slayer would've given it credit for, and slashed at the Slayer's chest.

It had no effect.

There was a slight scratch left behind, but it didn't even begin to damage the Slayer's armour. The bug pokémon turned around, a prideful look on its face, expecting to see the Slayer on the ground… In reality, it stared dumbfounded at the man who didn't seem to even notice the attack.

CRACK!

With a thunderous sound, the Slayer fired a shotgun blast at the Pokémon, his anger overtaking him now. The Pokémon shot up into the air, clearly frightened by the sudden attack. But the Slayer wasn't ready to let it go. Switching to his plasma cannon, he began firing a barrage of plasma blasts at the flying bug. Scyther was now on the defensive, ducking and weaving, trying to escape the attack it had never seen before. All the while, the Team Skull Grunts were staring in absolute disbelief.

"How… who is this guy?!" One of them exclaimed.

"Don't know. You gotta go!" another one shouted, shoving the bag into her arms.

"What?! Why me?!"

"Do you wanna stay here and try and deal with this guy?! Run!" The other Grunt shouted, making a very good point.

"Slayer, I understand your anger." VEGA was now trying to get through to the Slayer. "But these animals are not acting of their own malicious intent. They are merely following the orders that the humans are giving to them."

This caused the Slayer to pause for a moment, understanding what Vega was getting at.

"Incapacitation is a good idea, but outright murder isn't." VEGA continued. "If possible, attempt to restrain or knock out these creatures. Killing them is not the right course of action!"

Scyther had realized the attacked had paused, and came back down for a rushing slash, aiming for the head this time. However, what the pokémon (and those watching) weren't expecting, was for the Doom Slayer to hit the flying pokémon with the butt of his plasma cannon. Scyther crashed face-first into the ground and skidded a good distance before stopping, rendered unconscious. The Slayer turned to the remaining grunts and pulled out his super shotgun.

"Where is he keeping all these weapons Dawg?!" One of them shouted in abject horror and disbelief.

"Who cares?! Let's take him down to Skull Town!" Another Grunt yelled, throwing a pokéball at the Slayer. When it opened, a giant four-armed creature looked down at the Slayer.

"Champ." It growled, cracking both sets of fists.

The Slayer seemed to be swapping weapons, and the Machamp didn't waste time, it grabbed the Slayer and threw him into a nearby cliff face, making a decent sized crater form where the Hell Warrior impacted.

"Woo! Is that all you got!?" One of the Grunts yelled victoriously.

"Activating Berserk Mode." Was heard in response.

"I really need to shut up…"

Without warning, the Doom Slayer rocketed from the cliffside towards the giant pokémon. To its credit, it didn't turn and run, in fact, it seemed to be bracing for a fight. However, the Machamp wasn't prepared for a powered-up Doom Slayer running at full speed to run directly into him. The Slayer did just that, and kept running, now holding the Machamp as he kept his unstoppable pace before slamming him into another cliff wall. Without any regard for its safety, the Slayer began wailing on the four-armed creature with his gloved fists. Despite several extremely powerful punches to the chest, and even a nasty right hook, the Machamp kicked the Slayer back and began tearing chunks of rock off of the cliff face and started throwing them at the Slayer. The Slayer shot two of them out of the air with his shotgun, and punched the third one into pebbles. To the Slayer's surprise, while the pokémon had clearly taken damage, it wasn't down for the count. In fact, it seemed to be enjoying the fight.

"Slayer, this creature appears to have a body structure much akin to a human, try targeting it's brachial nerve."

The Slayer jumped back as the pokémon rushed forward again. VEGA highlighted a spot along the pokémon's spine, and the Slayer punched it, hard. The pokémon flinched, then fell to its knees, then fell forward.

"I… he… what IS that thing?!" One of the grunt's blinked, completely dumbfounded by what he had just witnessed. If the Slayer wasn't angry before, he was pretty angry now. Even VEGA knew he wasn't going to be able to calm him down, and these 'Skull Grunts' were most likely going to die painful, violent deaths.

"It's not done yet! An'I'm through playin' around!" The largest of the remaining group declared, unclipping one last pokéball and throwing it. "Steelix! Finish this!"

The Slayer looked up at the gigantic worm-like creature that appeared. At first it reminded him of a Summoner, but then upon better inspection, it looked like a giant steel snake.

"Whoa, J-Roc." One of the grunts said in surprise. "You sure you wanna do this? That thing just punched his way through the last two dudes we sent after him…"

"Don't worry, Steelix's got this." J-Roc smirked. "And once he's down for the count, whaddya think his armour and weapons'll sell for?"

"This seems like a really dumb plan…" Another one of the grunts muttered.

Steelix reeled back to its full height and roared down at the Slayer. Using its giant tail, it slammed it into the ground, creating a powerful shockwave that threw the Slayer off balance. The Steelix then side-swiped him with his tail, pinning the Slayer against the cliff face.

The Slayer was using one hand to keep the full weight of the tail from crushing into him, and was reaching for something with the other. He looked up and down the creature's tail, thinking like he did with Pinky's, there was plenty of armour, but always a weak spot.

Steelix narrowed its eyes as he began pushing inwards, slowly beginning to crush the Doom Slayer… then howled in unbelievable agony and reeled back, twitching spastically. Looking down in shock it saw a large chunk of his tail… that was missing. The Slayer stood on the chunk of tail, holding a bloody chainsaw, and pointed it at the Steelix. Wordlessly issuing a challenge. Spinning around, the Steelix unleashed a furious roar and charged straight at the Slayer, who began running towards the Steelix.

"Is… he can't…" One of the Skull Grunts whispered.

"Is he really gonna…"

"No way!"

"Even legal?!"

"Mom come pick me up, I'm scared…"

At the last second, the Steelix opened its massive jaws to try and swallow the Slayer whole. There was a forceful impact, followed by a blinding cloud of dust and debris and the sound of something being damaged hard… but no one could tell exactly what it was. When the dust died down, there stood the Doom Slayer, holding the Steelix in place by its jaws. The jaws that weren't being held by the very angry warrior form another dimension hit the ground in utter disbelief. Even the anger in Steelix's eyes was gone, now replaced with a mixture of 'Excuse me, what?' and 'I am so very, very, very, screwed.'

"Are you KIDDING me!?" J-Roc shouted, watching in absolute disbelief at what he was watching.

The Doom Slayer narrowed his eyes behind his mask, and twisted the jaws he was holding. He wasn't intending to kill, but he needed to disorient the huge creature. His movement had enough force to flip the Steelix onto it's back, causing it to cry out in confusion, and began wiggling in a desperate attempt to re-aligning itself.

Having had enough of this, the Slayer walked to where the end of the creature's tail used to be and grabbed on, then began to lift.

The Skull Grunts couldn't tell what was happening, but their confusion turned to abject horror when they saw Steelix begin to spin. Not in the way they would spin to dig tunnels mind you, spinning like a helicopter blade. The Doom Slayer had grabbed the end of the Steelix and was spinning him around at speed that threatened to create a small tornado. Finally, the Slayer let go and threw the Steelix towards the water, and a long wail of disbelief was heard as the titanic steel pokémon crashed into the water, causing a large wave to crash down on it, and the Steelix was knocked out.

The Skull Grunts (who had now accepted they were going to die) stood in silent horror as the Doom Slayer approached them. He looked down at one of them, seeing the belt of stolen pokéballs, and in a single movement, ripped the belt (and pants) off of the Skull Grunt, leaving him standing in his Pikachu boxers. He looked to the other three and in one swift move, knocked the heads of the two against one another, knocking them out, then staring down at J-Roc. Even with the helmet covering his face, J-Roc felt the fury emanating off of the Doom Slayer. The Slayer tapped something on his wrist, and two words appeared holographically.

Never. Return.

"Activating Haste." VEGA said as the Doom Slayer tore off in the direction of the one other Skull Grunt who had ran away earlier, with the bag of money and other pokéballs.

"Uh… J-Roc?" The one other conscious Skull Grunt spoke up. "I know we gotta tell the boss about this… but can we just leave out the-"

"Yeah. Yeah, we'll leave that out."

Meanwhile, the female Skull Grunt who had taken off a few minutes ago was moving faster than she ever had before. She had heard the cries of her teams pokémon… and they weren't victorious. She kept running down the dirt path, genuinely terrified by whatever had found them. She made the mistake of casting the briefest of glances over her shoulder.

"OH, C'MON!" She cried in disbelief.

Running at unnatural speeds, was the Doom Slayer, chainsaw in hands and blade revving. The Skull Grunt kept running, but didn't see the tree root until it was too late. Crying out in surprise, she flopped forward onto the dirt ground. In the few moments it took for her to turn herself over, she saw the towering figure standing above her.

"Alright! Alright! You win! Please! Don't hurt me!" She cried out. Throwing the bag at the newcomer. It hit him directly in the helmet and fell to the ground. The Slayer watcher her, seeing that she was defenceless and trapped.

R-R-RI-I-IP!

The Skull Grunt winced, afraid that was the sound of her limbs being torn off. But she didn't feel pain, she didn't hear weapons loading. In fact, there was nothing but silence. When she finally opened her eyes, she saw that the tree root she was trapped under had been ripped out of the ground, freeing her foot. Looking up, she saw the Slayer walking away with the bag, most likely heading back to Heahea City. She breathed heavily, before seeing something written in the dirt.

If I see any of you ever again. You will NOT survive.

"Krystal!" A voice yelled. Looking up, Krystal saw her friends running up, two of them seeming dazed, J-Roc seeming like he had been scolded by Arceus himself, and Vinny…

"Vinny? Where are you pants?" Krystal finally asked.

"Uh… The space guy took em'…" Vinny awkwardly admitted. "We speak of this to no one."

Back on the path to Heahea City, the Slayer looked at the belt with the red-and-white balls attached in confusion.

"From what I've gathered, these devices are used to contain Pokémon while they rest. However, I cannot begin to understand how such a small device could contain a creature…"

The Slayer wasn't paying attention, he was looking at one of the balls and pressed the center button. There was a red flash and a small blueish-white fox-like creature appeared on the ground.

"Pix?" It said, looking around in confusion. It seemed skittish to begin with, then looked up at the Doom Slayer and seemed to have a panic attack.

"Vulpix!" It cried out, running a few feet away and hiding behind a rock. The Slayer blinked, realizing this was going to be a bit of an issue, and walked over to where it was cowering. Slowly, the Slayer made a few images in the sand, not knowing if this creature could understand words. When the Vulpix looked up, it saw what looked like a building, with arrows pointing towards it. Next to it was a stick figure, and a small stick animal. There was a plus sign between the two, and an equals sign showing the city again. The tiny fox creature looked tentatively at the image, then at the Slayer, who slowly held it's hand out. The Vulpix seemed to get the message and climbed onto his hand. Shakily sitting down. Opening the stolen bag, the Vulpix climbed in, and since the Doom Slayer didn't know how the pokéballs worked, he decided this was good enough. The Slayer continued his way back to Heahea City, where a sizable crowd had formed at the outskirts. Looks of shock, wonder, disbelief and fear were noticeable on the crowd.

"Pix!" The tiny fox creature cried, jumping out of the bag and running over to a woman who happily picked up the Vulpix and held it close.

"Thank you…" She said with tears in her eyes, her voice conveying a thousand thanks.

The Slayer looked down at the reclaimed items and set them down, kicking them slightly forward. Slowly, and still nervously, the townsfolk came forward, finding what was there's and taking it. A few of them watched the Slayer, who simply looked back, but it was impossible to tell if he was looking with disdain, indifference, or relief.

"Thank you, Vega, and thanks be to your friend." Tammy said, walking up to the Doom Slayer. "Are you hurt?"

"The Slayer is fine." VEGA answered. "There was some sort of iron snake that took a minute to find it's weakness, but the Slayer is fine."

At the mention of 'Weakness' Tammy seemed unsettled.

"Please tell me you didn't kill any of them." She said quietly. "The pokémon were simply acting on what they were told to do, and Team Skull… they're trouble makers, but-"

"The pokémon are alive." VEGA answered. "The steel snake is missing part of its tail, but it should heal in time. The others were knocked unconscious, and Team Skull knowns not to return here. The feats they witnessed should be enough of a warning."

"Well, I can extend that thanks of everyone here in Heahea." Tammy smiled, feeling relieved. "If there is anything we can do to ever repay the favor, do not hesitate to ask."

The Slayer nodded, and looked down, seeing the tiny Cubone standing next to him. He picked up the small pokémon and put it back on his shoulder.

"You said there was a hotel nearby, correct?" VEGA asked.

"Yes! The Tide Song Hotel." Tammy nodded. "A friend of mine runs it. He would be happy to accommodate you."

"That would be appreciated." VEGA answered. "The Slayer has traveled farther than you could probably understand, and despite him never acknowledging it, he needs to rest."

Tammy swore she heard the Slayer grunt, as if to say 'Ha, ha' or 'Shut up'. However, she decided not to question it.

"Of course, follow me." She said leading the slayer towards the hotel. As the two left, loud cheers for the masked hero rang out from the crowd. No one even knew the masked man's name, but they were grateful for his actions nonetheless.

"Those idiots have no idea what they may have done…" Darkrai mentally scowled as he flew through the skies above Ula'ula Island, looking for the Doom Slayer. While he wasn't sure if the Slayer knew, he had managed to peek inside the Slayer's mind, and saw the horror and carnage that followed him on his bloody conquest through hell. He didn't believe the Slayer would commit such heinous acts on innocent people, but he had a bad feeling that if agitated, the Slayer wouldn't hesitate to, as his mind had put it 'Rip and Tear, until it is done'.

"Those symbols… those markings… I swear I've seen them before…" He mused as he floated down, hiding in a tree and looking below, listening in to see if anyone was saying anything that could lead him towards the mysterious newcomer. "Until I find him, I can only hope that for the safety of these islands, he is able to find some sort of peace…"

At the Tide Song hotel, the Doom Slayerlooked around the room he was given. Cubone had wandered off, and seemed to be eating some beans, happily munching on them.

"I understand your paranoia Slayer, but it is highly recommended that you rest for some time." VEGA persisted, and the Doom Slayer finally gave in. He walked over and sat on the bed.

CRACK!

The bed which was originally maybe a foot off of the floor was now on the floor itself. The legs having given out under the weight of the praetor suit. The Slayer reached to take his helmet off, but paused, clearly nervous about something. However, he eventually removed it, setting it on a nightstand next to the bed, and gave into his exhaustion. He hadn't slept in… he had no idea, even since he was dug up, he had been moving non-stop. Maybe VEGA was right, maybe he did need some sleep.

"Goodnight Slayer." VEGA said, before a small light on the helmet dimmed.
