Hello everyone! As many of you know, I have my own Hellsona as well! But I have yet to written an origin story for her! *gasp* I know! How awful! But I don't wish to dedicate a full story for her. Maybe just a small short story.
But this story is also a Thank You Gift for an_undead-gamer_45 for his work "The Exasperated Assistants Club"!
So without much further ado, here is my origin story, A Sinner's Delight!
Chapter 1: Hell of a Start
Somewhere in the Russian Forests
It was dark. Snow harshly blowing through the night sky. Other than a cry of a snow owl, the woods were deathly silent. Yet the silence was cut off by a reeved engine from a snowmobile. Said vehicle jumped over the snowy hill. It landed roughly, but it didn't knock the driver off. Shortly after it landed, another came almost immediately after. The first driver glanced back, let out a string of curses in mother language. The increased the speed of their snowmobile, doing what they can to maneuver in hope to lose their assailant.
Yet they couldn't shake the other person following them. Unable to escape, the driver decided they might as well face who was chasing them. They quickly swerved the vehicle around, coming straight for the other person! Seeing what the first person was doing, the second did what they could do to move out of the way. Unfortunately, the first had jumped off theirs and tackled the second to the ground. For a few moments, the two wrestled in order to gain dominance. It ended with the first as the winner. Once the victim was pinned down, the winner pulled down their face mask and goggles, to reveal a woman with brown eyes. She pulled off her stalker's own face coverings, revealing a male with piercing green eyes and a red scruff goatee.
"Well, well! What a surprise! If isn't my favorite spy, Rasco!" She reached into her coat, holding up a sack. "Were you planning on taking these from little ole me?"
"Those belong to Russia!" He snarled at her.
"Are you sure? Because they're in my possession. So by that logic. They're technically, mine."
He kicked her off, causing her to cry out in surprise. Once the weight was off of him, he made quick work of gaining the upper hand. He tried to pin her, but she rolled out his grasp. She quickly scrambled up, taking off running into the woods. Rasco cursed, pursing after her. As they were running, they did the occasional combat. Kicks, punches, flips, anything to either slow the other down, or capture them.
As they were running, the female ended up skidding to a stop. She had arrived at a dead end. A cliff. She cursed, looking back to where Rasco was fastly approaching. She stepped back, quickly lurching forward when she felt the edge crumble under foot. She scowled. Fuck. She was stuck.
"As a member of the Russian Government, I arrest you for espionage, theft, murder and a bunch of criminal behaviors including calling the Embassy's leader a "coconut-shaped dunderhead puppet!" which he found very offensive!"
She giggled.
"Aw, and here I thought he liked my terms of endearment."
"Enough chit-chat! You are under arrest! You are heading to the Gulag!"
"Oh, I would love to, but I got plans with my little brother. So, I'll check you later, Rascy!"
Gathering up her courage, she stepped off the cliff. Rasco swore as he ran over to look over the cliff. Knowing what he did, he followed her. Thankfully for the two of them, a river was at the bottom of the cliff. As the two were falling, he made himself more aerodynamic to get closer to her. Once he was in reached with her, reached for her, only for her to send a punch to his face. Another fight ensued between the two of them in the air. It was only ended by the two of them hitting the water. And even then, they still continued their battle.
Eventually the two were washed up onto the bank of the river. The female panting, the fight slowly taking it's toll on her. She wasn't the best swimmer, and the fight in the water took a lot out of her. Seeing that she was exhausted, Rasco took the opportunity to pin her and cuff her. She blinked in surprise, then starting letting out a string of swears at him. Damn him! Damn him and the rest of the Embassy!
In a locked interrogation room, the woman was tied up in a chair. She had been listening to the guards outside of the door conversing. She knew of the camera in the corner of the room, which she managed to temporarily blocked for a few minutes. Long enough to drop some quick dissolving pills into the two glasses of water. Pills that she specifically created with her brother. It was only to be used in emergencies, but she knew that they were going torture her for her brother's evil plans. Not on her watch. She'd rather die than give up her sibling. And that's what she was going to do.
A minute or two after the pills successfully dissolved, the door opened. Perfect. Now she and whichever agent drank the water, they'd both die. If she was going to leave this world, she was taking someone with her. She looked over to see the same agent that was chasing her earlier. Rasco. Despite being tied to the chair, she leaned back in it. Smirking.
"About time Rascy. I was getting lonely."
"Apologies, but you'll be less lonely in the Gulag once we're finished with you. Give up your brother, and we might go easy on you."
She hummed, tilting her head like she was thinking. After a moment, she looked back at him.
"I would love to do that, I really do, but you see, I can't. After all he is my darling, sweet baby brother."
"You aren't even related."
She continued on, ignoring his statement.
"And I would hate to see that disappointed look on his face. It'd break my heart, knowing that his beloved big sister made him cry. You understand, don't you Rasco? Oh wait, I forgot. You're an only child, aren't you? A pity. I mean sure, my brother and have our disagreements, but in the end, he's still my younger sibling. I just can't betray him like you all want me to. All because you don't agree with his... creative political differences."
Rasco scowled at her.
"He is an evil scientist using marine wildlife to try and take over the world."
"Exactly my point."
He gave a small groan, rubbing his temple. He reached over to one of the glasses of water, and took a drink from it. She did a small smirk with it. Once he was finished, she nudged to the other glass of water in front of her.
"Would you be a dear and let me have a drink. My throat is getting dry and these pesky handcuffs are in the way."
She batted her eyelashes at him. He rolled his eyes at her, but did grab the water for her, allowing her to drink. Once she felt the liquid go down her throat, she knew that her death was sealed. Now she only had three minutes until the poison takes place. Once it does, both her and Rasco would no longer be part of the living world. Death would soon embrace them. Unable to contain herself, she started laughing the moment he sat the cup down. He raised a brow at her.
"What? What's so funny?"
Once she calmed herself down, she looked up at him, a smirk on her lips.
"Oh, we've just been poisoned. I saw we got oh... three minutes? Well, two for you."
His eyes widen.
"You what!?"
She leaned back in her seat once more.
"Yep. Poisoned. Oh. And there's no cure. My brother and I made sure of that. Special tablets made with poisonous plants."
"You bitch!" He snarled at her. "I hope you rot in Hell for this!"
"I'm looking forward to it." She retorted. "And if I'm going to leave this earth, I'm taking one of you with me. You should be honored. I know you've been chasing me for my beauty. Too bad for you, I don't feel the same."
He was about to say something else but he was caught off by starting to choke and foam at the mouth. Watching the agent struggle to survive was very amusing to her. Instead of watching the life drain from his eyes, she leaned her head back on the edge of the chair.
"See you in Hell, fuckers!" She declared.
Her final words.
She gasped as her eyes snapped open. She looked around her surroundings. She was surrounded by building. Wait... that couldn't be right. She should be in Hell, right? Like, burning fire and brimstone Hell? Why was she in a city? She moved to stand up. As she did, she noticed that her arms had reddish fur and her hands... they were paws! She gave a small yelp in surprise.
"Why do I have paws!? And fur!? The fuck happened to me!?"
She looked around for a reflective surface. She noticed a shop across the street that had mirrors in the window. She quickly ran over. As she did, she noticed that she was too short to see herself! Desperate for a visual of herself, she looked around and found a garbage can. She quickly moved it over to the window, climbing on so she can finally see this new form that she had taken. She gasped at her new form. She was a small puppy! Or well... She had large brown eyes that resembled a puppy's, along with her body, with floppy ears with black tips. But her tail was long and semi-bushy, like a squirrel's.
She looked around to find some place that could explain to her what the fuck was going on.
There was tons of people of different varieties walking around. She was actually surprised that life(afterlife?) was pretty much like Earth's. Though what she knew about Hell, which wasn't much given that she wasn't religious growing up, was that Hell was for all the worst people in the world. Or anyone that didn't fit the "Godly" way. Welp, her brother was in for a shock when he arrived. Or he might relished in how it was.
She could see plenty of sings saying "Hell" or "You're in Hell."
Like, no duh. But that doesn't really answer the questions that she had. She took a breath to calm herself down. It's fine. Everything is fine. New environment. Adapt. She can adapt! She looked around when she saw a winged tabby cat. Cautious, she made her way over to them.
"Uh... Hello? I'm new here... and... I'm hoping if you can give me some information?"
Was she foolish to just ask for help? Perhaps. The worst that could happen was that they attacked her. She maybe now small, but she still has her training!
"Uh... Hi. Can I ask you a question real quick?"
The cat's nose curled in disgust.
"If it's to ask for money, drugs or sex. No."
The newly arrived hybrid blinked in surprised, which shaking her head.
"No, no, no! Not that! I swear! I just... I just arrived here and was just wondering what the fuck are we supposed to do once we arrive here? In Hell?"
"Survive. Find a job, find a place, and try not to get killed."
Okay. Simple. But don't jobs normally require like an ID or some shit?
"Okay... but don't jobs require a lot of stuff? Like an ID or something?"
The feline sighed. This dog or whatever they were was asking too many questions.
"Look, here in Pentagram City, if you're desperate enough, just go into a place, ask for a job. If they're decent and willing to help you out, good for you. If they're sleezy and desperate enough, you can offer to suck their dick or eat them out."
The newly arrived sinner nose curled in disgust.
"Ew!"
The cat shrugged.
"Hey, you gotta do what you got to do."
The pup hummed, thinking over her options.
"What about if I create my own job? Like be an assassin or something?"
"If you can manage to get equipment and advertise your services, good for you. Can I be on my way now?"
"Where do you work at?"
This caused the taller demon to pause. She looked down at her. Eyebrow raised in suspicion.
"Why?"
"Is your place fully staffed? I'm sure I have skills that are useful to you."
There was a bit of silence. The cat sighed, her wings dipping down.
"I just got enough money to open a cafe. But I haven't been able to find a building, let alone hire anyone."
The pup's eyes lit up. She can handle working in a cafe! She and her brother have always been avid coffee drinkers! Plus she wasn't that bad of a baker as well!
"I know how to fix all kinds of coffee back when I was alive. Not to sound too braggy, but I did some undercover work for my brother as a barista. We also own personal barista at our home."
The mention of her brother caused the hybrid's ears and tail to droop in sadness. Her brother... how was he taking her death? Would he be okay on his own? Was he grieving for her? So many questions and she wouldn't know until he arrived down here with her. Maybe she should've just thought of a more well out planned to escape? Or maybe her little brother would've sent some help to rescue her? Or they could've thrown her in a cell then make her escape? Not likely. They probably would've killed her anyways.
Seeing how depressed the smaller sinner had suddenly gotten, the winged cat sighed. She couldn't believe that she was going to do this. But she had to admit, this newcomer wasn't as bad as other people that she had encountered. After doing a quick mental debate, she relented.
"I... guess I can help you out. I got a spare room since my last roommate got themselves exterminated. And you would save me from a lot of paperwork..."
"Really!?" The hybrid wagged her tail. "That would be amazing! Thank you so much! Is there going to be rent? Because I can do what I can to make some side money through my old days as a Con-Artist to pay the bills. Or do some assassination jobs, too."
The two started walking as they continued talking.
"I guess that'll be alright. Do you like animals?"
"I love animals! I mean... a bit ironic that we are ourselves, but pets, absolutely!"
The feline chuckled.
"That's great to hear. I can explain the house rules on the way back. What's your name by the way? Or what new name would you go by? I'm Cybra."
The smaller sinner paused. She hadn't thought much about her name. And it would be rude not to give her new friend/roommate one. Plus she didn't want to change it should her brother ever arrived.
"Chey Maria. Spelled C-H-E-Y, but sounds like Shy. It was the name my nano, father, gave me before he went missing. He never told me what the full version of Chey was."
"Chey. It's a nice name. I think we're going to get along pretty well."
The two sinners smiled at each other.
"I do too, Cybra. I do too."
