The Doberman Hellhound, Joseph, was still at his guns, on grand table, bored out of his mind. He had already gone through all the songs in his Walkman and fixed up both his guns, and there was not much to do now but practically wait for this nightmare to be over. But he kept thinking to himself that this could get done a whole lot easier if he was other there, fighting. All his time on the force, out on the army, he wanted to see some action.
"I guess...that kind of thinking is what got myself killed in the first place." He thought to himself as he looked at his paw like hands. Truth be told yet again, he hated his Hellhound form. To think that this was his punishment for the sins he committed in life, stuck, in the body of the very animal that tore him to shreds on his first mission with the Alpha Team of S.T.A.R.S. He wished that there would be something to cheer him up...or perhaps, someone.
"Hey."
His head perked up to see Loona staring down at him, with a sly smile on her face.
"Oh, hey." He said before brining his head back down into his crossed arms on the table. "Your name's...Loona, right?"
"That's right. I ain't never really got yours down." Loona replied.
"Joseph. Frost. Omni-Man of the S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team, specialized in equipment maintenance. And I can also handle some dangerous good, if you catch me drift."
Loona's smiled brightened and her eyes were all flirty as she replied "Wow. So you, uh...live for the danger, huh? I can relate...kinda. The business I'm in requires those imps I was with going up top and offing a specific target."
"So...you're an assassin?" Joseph asked.
"Well, not really. Blitzø doesn't even want me getting hurt. I'm an adult, dammit! I can handle myself just fine!"
Joseph replied with a smirk "You're whining says otherwise."
"Oh, fuck you." Loona couldn't help but hold in a laugh, but not her smile. Then, she sighs. "I know he means well, and...I gotta admit, he's a good dad, but...I just wish he'd loosen up a little when it comes to me."
"...Wait, he's you dad?"
"Adopted." She clarified. "Not even that long ago though. But with or without him, I'd be fine on my own."
Joseph then brought up "Hey, if I were in your shoes, I'd just be glad someone would be willing to take care of me. I mean, my dad was...a bit of an ass-wipe, always saying I'd get myself killed one day...I hate the fact that he was right, but the point is I still loved him."
"Well...I didn't come by to ask for a lecture. I actually wanted to know if you and I...can get to know each other better."
She was walking her fingers toward him, but he swiped away his arm and moved back.
"...Hard pass." then Joseph got up to his feet. "I don't know about you, but I've been waiting 10 year to find a way out of this hole. This hotel could be my chance."
"You actually believe in what the princess is saying?" Loona asked.
"Whatever it takes...I did good in my life, and I want God to see that I can still do good now." And he was about to walk away, he turned once more to Loona and said "You might wanna think about what I've told you. Your dad's out there, fighting, and there's a huge chance he might not be coming back."
She took that in slowly. Loona didn't want to admit it, but she was actually concerned about Blitzø, Moxxie and Millie. They barely survived tne trip coming here, the wave of infected hours ago, and now, they were forced to head back to Imp City to find a cure. That's not to say she wasn't confident they'll be fine. Knowing Blitzø, she was sure that he would be making progress as of now.
In reality, Blitzø was actually almost drowning in sewer water of as right now...and it was shallow. It was a quite a deep fall, into the depths of the sewers, which seemed to go on for an impossible number of miles. While Blitzø didn't break anything upon his fall, he was still unconscious and was gargling up dirty water. And while he was out cold, he was having a nightmare about some of the many cruel things he's heard in his life.
"Does anybody love you, Blitzo?"
"This guy's a total disgrace."
"Your love life is a pile of shit."
"A reckless, heart-breaking freak."
"You're thoughtless and cruel and you'll end up alone."
Almost instantly, did Blitzø wake up, not looking happy as pieces of sewage slid off his head.
"Now is not the time for that shit." He said as he got up and wiped off some of the gunk as he pulled out 9mm pistol. Looking back up up, he saw the giant hole that he fell down from, then looked front and back to see the sewer tunnels stretching on in darkness. He sighs at the hopeless of finding a way back up any time soon.
"...Fuck. Nowhere else to go but forward then."
Keeping his gun up at all times, the imp treads slowly through the tunnels as his makes sure to be prepared for any more surprises. Surprises that came sooner than he thought, as the sounds of hissing filled the sewers, making him shoot directly in front of him to reveal the Novistador. Though, these ones seemed a whole lot different than the others. While the appearances looked just about the same, when Blitzø shot at them, their blood was all too different, looking thicker and dirtier. And as they melted away, their bodies lost their color, becoming grey and almost chunky looking. Whatever these things were, it was obvious that this was not their natural mutation. Although, Blitzø wasn't smart enough to figure that out.
"And here I thought these things couldn't get any more nasty..." He said before looking to see that the tunnels were practically filled to see a lot of chunkiness. The smell of decay, waste and leftover mutagen was everywhere.
"I wonder if I can get infected by stepping into this..." Blitzø said, pondering on whether he should step into the disgusting sewer. There was nowhere else dry enough to walk, so it was not like he had much a choice. As he waded through it, something big came up...well, big enough on one side. A human sized abomination, barely having any skin around it's body, which had giant tumors on it's back and left arm, looking ready to burst and any second, and it's elongating face looking like it can split into for parts of itself. It's most distinctive feature was its blobs of a left and leg, which it was forcing it to limp. It slowly made it's way to the imp, who backed up and wasted no time firing.
"Oh, you gotta be kidding me!"
Firing at the giant tumors at where would be its shoulder blade, Blitzø seemed to only be making it angrier as its face opened up and reveal a more grotesque snake-like head, which was coughing up what looked like pieces of meat, which soon began to slither their way towards the imp who was forced to back up more as he could barely shoot them all.
"Come on! Drop, you fucking piece of sewer crap!" He said as then brought out his rifle. The giant tumor on its arm had finally burst and revealed a bulging eyeball that was staring right at Blitzø. The creature soon submerged itself into the water, and before Blitzø knew it, he was grabbed by its blobby as it opened up its head in order to gouge down on the imp.
"Alright, you slimy fuckwad!" He screamed while bringing out a hand grenade. "Suck on this!"
Shoving the grenade into the mutant's mouth, Blitzø pried himself off its hand as moved away as fast as he could as the creature exploded in front of him. Now, with that out of his way, the imp pressed on as the sewers seems to clear up of any more crap.
"Hope that's the last of those damn things." Blitzø growled as he walked on. Little does he know that it wasn't gonna be the last. As he continued down the tunnels, suddenly coming out of a nearby sewer pipe was a briefcase with a note attached and...covered in mold.
"YOU'RE GONNA NEED THIS."
Slowly opening up the case to make sure it wasn't a trap, was Blitzø now had in his hands was a unique gun. It appeared to be a submachine pistol, who's main body resembled a VZ61, but had the modifications of a tommy gun. Pulling the clip to see that it was loaded, the imp cocked the gun and aimed it.
"Not bad. Definitely come in hand."
Now with that settled, Blitzø continued through the sewers as he soon reached a steel door. But he was unaware of what had been eyeing him throughout his perils, something that made to wait before following after its pray. Walking through the tunnels, the imp saw the floor was grated, letting the water flow beneath his feet. To him, that was a relief as he was sick of having to wade through all that garbage. He saw how there was some near by room that had some control panels, generators, but most importantly right now, ammo, and he was gonna need a lot of it, what with his new gun and all. But as he was about to come out...it hit him. By 'it', I mean giant slimy tail with a metal pike at the end, stabbing him through the arm before wrapping him up and throwing him against a door. Next thing the poor imp new, the silhouette of a female demon came down and pinned him to the ground, and he barely process the barrage of razer sharp claws cutting away at his face before the creature gave out screeched and jumped off of him. Blitzø barely had time to process what just happened before the demon grabbed him and then threw him at a wall before slamming him against it, making them both go through the wall and into a drainage chamber where there was plenty of more room for a far fight.
Pulling himself together, Blitzø got up to see who exactly he was dealing with. And it left him wide-eyed.
"Oh, of all the goddamn luck."
Verosika, but she was heavily mutated by the plaga parasite, with her hands, feet and tail now black with raptor-like claws, her eyes glowing red and her mouth malformed into mandibles that could split open four different directions. She had been stalking and attacking Blitzø like a natural predator, but she still appeared to be very aware of what she was doing.
"Uuggghhh...Blitzo, be honest with me." She hissed through some heavy breathing. "Do you...ever have second thoughts...about us?"
Blitzø merely glared as he replied "I do sometimes...then, I remember how much a bitch you are!"
That set her off as she lunged at the imp, wanting to rip him to pieces as he ran away from her and fired while doing so. But it didn't seem like his gun was phasing her that much as she was closing in.
"Well...I'd be more than welcome to take you back." She growled. "I'd treat you better than anybody else would."
"That's laughable! Like you could ever satisfy me!"
He just making her madder as she crawled up the walls and leap towards him. He could barely dodge her attacks as he continued to unload his guns on her, but the bullets were practically going past her, it was like her body was half liquid.
She was merely walking towards him now as she yelled out. "I didn't here you complaining every time we were to together! Don't make me the bad guy here, Blitzo. It was you who broke my heart!" The imp was forced to back up some more, but there was no where to even go. That it, until he saw the a liquid nitrogen canister behind and got an idea as Verosika was now in front of it.
"Well...I guess that's just my NATURE!" He yelled, kicking the canister off its pipe as it spread all of the liquid nitrogen around the place, and mostly around Verosika, who then screeched and hissed as she felt her body's temperature lowering fast. Blitzø took this as his chance as pulled out his new gun and opened fired on the mutated Succubus, who could barely and was now starting to feel pain from all the shots she was taking. Then, for good measure, Blitzø had laid down a roundhouse kick at her, putting her on the ground, but not for long. Pretty soon, did she break out of her icy shell and let out a growl that was a bit too monstrous, even for a demon like herself.
"This fights going nowhere fast." Blitzø said to himself as he was forced to continuously avoid Verosika's attacks, almost like a video game. Strange isn't it? Unfortunately, he saw no other liquid nitrogen canasters around the drainage chamber. So his only chance of beating Verosika now was to either shoot her till she drops or sent her down the drain, and how hard could that be? Very, as she clearly had the advantage of using the area around her and with the ability to climb up the walls, sending her down would be prove to be a challenge.
"Must be tough being in your position!" She yelled crazily, chasing Blitzø like a tiger while even avoiding some shots he was firing. "You couldn't even save that infected simp of an employee you had!" Now she was making him mad, as her mentioning Moxxie, in his state, drew a whole lot of concern. He has to know if he made it out okay, and that's why he had to finish this fight quickly. And to do that, he saw a closed sewer pipe and this forced him to allow Verosika to get him. Pinning him once more, Verosika readied both her claws and her mutated mouth to rip Blitzø apart.
"Now...I hope you enjoy this, Blitzo...Because this is the last time I'll ever treat you right."
"Yeah...I'd hold my breath if I were you." He said simply as he shot at the closed pipe, which caused it suddenly burst. They were both blasted with sewer water, flinging them into the main drain, but Blitzo was quick to sink his natural claws into the solid concrete, landing on the other side...with Verosika still latching onto him.
"If I'm going down, I'm taking your limp dick with me!"
Pulling out his flintlock, Blitzø pointed to her head and shouted "Like hell, you will!" And with the pull of a trigger, did he shoot Verosika in the center of her head as she had let go of the imp was sent plummeting down the drain. Blitzø pull himself back to the platform and looked down at the drain once more, sighing.
"Not one of my better relationships..."
And with that, he pressed on through the sewers. They were getting insanely dark, and piles of garbage were once again piling up and making it harder for Blitzø to get anywhere. But it wasn't just garbage, it was like this kind of black mold...and it was moving. Pretty soon, Blitzø stopped in his tracks as all he saw in front of him was pitch darkness and mold blocking his path. He had the sense that he was being watched yet again. And it was then...that he heard a child laugh.
"Heheheheh..."I've been waiting for so long... I'd make a much better daughter than that dog. Please won't you stay with me...forever?"
Suddenly, the mold moved and wrapped around Blitzø's arms, stretching them out and making them unusable. Though he tried to struggle, it was all in vain as the mold kept wrapping around him from his feet and rising his body.
"Argh! What is this shit!"
Soon enough, coming out of the darkness...was a little girl with pale skin, black hair, a grey dress and boots. She was slowly waking up towards the pinned imp, who was scared and confused by what was going on.
"Hey, little girl! You think you can get me out of here?!"
"Oh, don't worry, it will all be over soon...daddy."
Blitzø was left confused and horrified as the mold engulfed and little girl smiled at her catch...
Well, you guys wanted Eveline to show up, and here she is with Blitzø under her grasp now. Now you can stop asking for her. The idea of Blitzø being infected by the mold was an idea at the making of this story. Glad I went with it, and can only hope I can make it progress the right way.
If any of you have any ideas for what should happen next, I'm all ears. Who's next to be focused on and who else should be introduced? Don't say Ethan, 'cuz he's technically already here.
