Yep, I'm joining in on the fray in making my own story for the web series that has the internet exploding with fandom.
But for this particular Helluva Boss story, I'll be doing it in a much more 'strange route'.
That's all I can really say for the moment, if you're all wondering what the buzz is all about then, go ahead. Find out for yourselves.
...
A nice fancy bar comes into view, and on the bar counter was a an old looking tv from the 1950's with a red and black colored body.
" You know, if there's one thing we all seem to enjoy. Is a good story isn't it? " A voice says as we focus on a strange entity wearing a a sparkling cloak concealing any sort of facial features, and long sleeves that didn't show it's hands either.
The figure points to itself. " Who me? I go by lots of names, but you can just simply call me Destiny. "
The figure hops over the counter giving off a "hup" and lands on a barstool that was right next to the tv itself.
" So, you all want to hear a story eh? A tale of heroics and adventures? " Destiny inquired before crossing two gray index fingers forming an 'X'. " Well to bad, you're not gonna get one. This story is not really much for children. But if you are a child, then well don't go blaming me if you lose your innocence and learn a thing or two that your to young to learn at a certain age. "
The figure chuckled a bit before he started tapping its fingers on the counter right next to the tv. " But, if you want to stick around be my guest. Have I got a story to tell you! " The tv turns on revealing a series of demonic markings as it zooms into it as a black void shoot outward followed by a series of stick figures.
" Our tale begins in Hell itself and yes, the very same one most know of. While it was known for being a river of fire that tormented those that are less or deserving to come to this place, they were half right and half wrong. "
The outline of a city is seen with multiple in human sounds being heard, including the not so pleasant ones. " Yes, it is a place of torment, but a river of fire. Probably at one point, but who knows, and most really didn't give much a shit either. "
The screen shifts showing multiple rings stacked on top of another. " Hell itself, is split into seven different rings, each one based off of the seven deadly sins of man. The names such as, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy & Pride. All of these nine separates yet so close rings made up the entirety of this entire underworld. "
We then see cheap drawings showing off a few demonic creatures.
" Naturally there were also the residents, those that inhabited this purgatory. Many such species of demons ranging from Succubus, Incubus, Hellhounds, Imps, Demons also known as Hellborns and of course the Sinners. Those that come to this purgatory once they die from the human world and come to this shithole, paying the price for the 'no good stuff' they did in their lives in the eyes of heaven. "
For a brief moment we see a person flying up to the pearly white gates that had angels around it before that person got pushed off and got sent flying down screaming along the way.
" In this forsaken place, power, status was everything and to many it's nothing more than a place of violence...and it is! But if you got the wits and play your cards right, this god forsaken place can become a boiling pothole of opportunities. If not then, you simply just die. " We see the same person again who falls onto a street splattering upon impact like a bug on a windshield whipper.
The screen changes showing off the silhouettes of many vicious and imposing creatures, some of which were the stuff of nightmares while others were questionable.
" Among them stands those on top of the food chain. First the Overlords, demons with incredible power and their well-known dangerous reputations known far and wide throughout the nine rings themselves. There were also demons of noble blood, many of which trace back to generations and generations of bloodlines keeping them intact. Lastly, the very ruler and head honcho over all of hell itself, Lucifer. "
The screen retracts going back to Destiny who has his hands on underneath his chin with both elbows on the counter of his bar. " But were not gonna be focused on that, no. Our story focuses on something that most residents find cliche, boring, all the above bullshit, etc. Especially those who were sent to this place because it didn't work out. This is a story, that focuses on Love. " Destiny chuckles as he pours himself a drink and raises up a glass.
" So, if you're all interested in such a story. Then enjoy the ride. " It said before drinking We zoom in onto the tv which soon reveals the title.
Helluva Servant
Chapter 1: Hells Thunderstorm
We see a black sky indicating it was around nighttime. And in the said sky was giant red glowing pentagram. This particular area was located in the Pride Ring. The one ring that has the most overpopulation in any ring do to the number of sinners that arrive there regularly. To quell the population and reduce the numbers most likely in all the other rings, is a day call The Extermination: An annual purging event that's held once a year, wherein Exorcists from Heaven, armed with angelic weapons, are sent down to Hell to assist in taking care of its overpopulation by eliminating any Demon that is in plain sight.
Our main focus is now on a mansion with a very regal vibe, usually it was burgundy in color in the day. But as night, the building turns into a deep blue with violet tones during the night mimicking the night sky itself.
Emerging out of the mansion was an avian like demon that many features of that of an owl. He was tall and very slender, with a white, heart-shaped facial disk and small black beak, resembling that of an owl. He also had two pairs of almond-shaped red eyes, one set atop the other, with no visible irises or pupils, albeit white highlights do occasionally appear when he is excited.
The demons feathers were a grayish blue, which gradients to dark gray-blue on his head and long, plume-like tail. He has a lighter gray-blue puff of fur on his chest. His limbs are long, thin, and black, and his feet are tipped with owl claws.
Alt wearing a deep red tunic with six linked golden buttons down the breast, and beige breeches. He accessorizes with a feathery top hat that features a regal gold crown encircling it, as well as a long burgundy cape, tattered at the hemline, with a plush ermine-look fur collar, and long black gloves with white feathered trims at the elbows.
This was Stolas Goeita, the prince of Ars Goetia. A high-ranking noble family in hell itself.
As he was gonna go down the steps he stopped pausing for a moment. An amused smile spread across his beak, as looked over to the right. He saw two glowing yellow eyes piercing through the darkness.
" I already had a feeling that I'd run into you...Merida. "
Stepping out he was immediately greeted by the head maid of the Goeita household. While most of the employers who worked under Stolas's family there were also Sinner's working under the Goeita's. But very rare few every get to chance to work under them and much less stick around for long either.
The one called Merida was one of those examples. She was very tall, even taller than her own master.
Her appearance was humanoid, but very skeletal, with long with spinal cord-like arms and white bone-like colored skin. Her features, such as her hair and the markings on her face, are detailed with a light-blue shade. The sinner had a single small horn pointing outward like a unicorn. She also had on two sets of small gold rings on each ear. Her eyes solid yellow with black slits. In terms of make-up she was wearing black eye shadow and purple lipstick. Her clothing consisted of a black and white maid outfit from the early 20th century.
" Good evening master. " The maid said a mature and polite tone giving him a bow and started to walk alongside him making their way down the stairs heading over to the gates of the estate.
" So it is true sir? " She questioned. " The rumors of what I've heard. "
Stolas nodded. " Yes, they are. "
" And the child? "
" Bruns is bringing him. "
Merida gives a side glance to her master. " I don't doubt your judgement master, especially when it comes to Lord Garret. But, out of curiosity, how does Lady Stella handle this? "
Stolas only shook his head already recalling 'the dispute' he had with his 'wife' as he used his magic to open the gate making the doors open for them. He then sighed bitterly. " As to be expected not well. "
" Master, with all due respect are you sure this is a wise decision? " Merida questioned as the gates behind them closed and they stopped.
Stolas only turned glancing to the maid beside him. " You can leave the worrying to me Merida and only me. "
" Understood. Is Lord Bruns on his way? "
" Yes, he should be here by now. " They then heard the sound of flapping which made the owl demon smile. " Ah, perfect timing. " They turn to where the sound was coming from and saw something flying down straight towards them before it landed.
The demon that landed was large and bulky. It was humanoid much like Stolas, but the only difference was this demon was more bat like. Having large bat like ears and four sets of wings on his back which folded by themselves. His clothing consisted of a dark blue suit with white buttons, white pin stripes, with pants matching in color with shiny black boots. He accessorizes with a large black fedora that has two holes allowing his ears to stick out. The most noticeably thing was that he had something strapped to his chest.
This bat demon was a fellow noble, under the name of Bruns Penumbra. Upon seeing the two the bat greeted them. " Stolas, Merida. " He said raising up his hat giving them a light bow before walking towards them.
" No problems I trust Bruns? "
" Of course not. " He replied as he approached them eyeing what he was carrying. " The little one fell asleep on the way here. Did my very best too to try and not wake him. Here you are " Bruns passed the small bundle placing it into Stolas's arms.
Upon seeing the sleeping child's Stolas only gave a sad sigh the infant demon in his arms was avian much like he was, but the only difference was compared to when he was a hatchling, he didn't have teeth, sharp pointed teeth at that. " Oh you poor little thing... " He turns over to Garet and shakes his hand. " I owe you a great debt Bruns. Thank you. "
The bat only gave him a smile showing off his two long fangs. " I'm more than happy to help. "
" Would you like to stay for a cup of tea perhaps? " Stolas offered. " I wouldn't mind the company. "
Bruns only shook out a hand giving his answer. " Unfortunately, I mustn't, have to return home. Gave the misses my word I'd be back. "
" I see. Well, I'll speak with you later then. "
" Will do. Take care. " The bat demon said before jumping into the spreading out his wings and flew off into the air. When he did Stolas gazed down at the hatchling in his arms once again along with Merida who was getting a good look at the child.
" Master, I'm sorry to say this, but Lady Stella will want nothing to do with this child. I've seen how she is with your little Octavia; she hardly pays attention to her. "
" I know... " He turns to his head maid. " Which is why Merida, I have a very important task that only I can trust you with. "
Naturally Merida was curious. " What is it? "
" Just as you helped looked me look after my daughter. I want you to look after him for me. "
The sinner's eyes only widened in shock upon hearing this. " I-I don't know what to say...My lord, I'm honored you trust such a feet like this to me. But...I can't...I'm not even worthy to have a child...Much less, since I can't bear one of my own. "
He only smiled shaking his head. " Nonsense Merida...I've seen how are with my little Via. Despite what you are, and your past life, I know you would've made a wonderful mother. " He proceeds to place the infant in her arms. " And that is what this little one needs, a mother. "
" But what about my duties? "
" Do not worry about that Merida. I'll see to it that's manageable for you. " He reaches out putting reassuring hand on her shoulder. " Besides, there are plenty of spots that need to be filled anyways. " He holds out the small bundle in the blanket.
" So I ask once again Merida, will you promise to watch over him? "
" I'll...I'll try. " The sinner takes the infant holding him in her arms while her master nodded. And for a brief moment she started to cry feeling a wave of new emotions, some of which she hadn't felt in a long time.
" There, there Merida, that's all I'm asking of you, to only do your best. " With a wave of his hand Stolas made the gates reopen and they renter the estate grounds walking back to the mansion.
" Master? What is his name? Does he have one? " Stolas paused at his servant's question humming in thought.
" Hmm...Let's find out. " Carefully not trying to wake the infant bird demon Stolas searched the blanket till he found a small little card that had a name on it. He then read the card out loud: " Donner...Huh...I guess that's his name. "
With a light smile and he gazed at the sleeping child's face. " I'm actually curious to know what he'll be like growing up... "
Time-Skip 17 years later
This was the very same baby that was taken in and naturally over the years the child had grown, now into a teen of 17.
Donner had grown his feathers are dark green with a tinge of black mixed into it. He also had long curly hair feathers that reached down to the middle of his back. The avian demon's eyes were bright green while his sclera was dark blue. Poking out through the edges of his beak and are fangs on each side two on the bottom and one on top in the middle of the two.
His clothing consisted of blackish gray workpants, a solid white shirt with black buttons, a black bolo, with a dark green satin vest. Finally it was all topped off with black leather shoes with little metal straps. Lastly, he was wearing a dark jade green tailcoat, along with a few silver rings on his left hand his index finger and middle finger including a black bracelet with a skull face on his left wrist.
He was currently working with two other imps on was a female and the other was a male.
The female imp was roughly only an inch taller then Donne. Like most of her kind her skin was red, with three white dots on her face. Two large ones on her eyes, and a single one on her forehead. She had long black and white hair tied up into a ponytail. Her horns were black with two large white stripes poking out through a white maids hat. Her clothing was the standardized maid outfit.
The male imp was about the same size as the female. Only difference was his fur on his head was white, minus a spot on his right eye. He had no hair, wis horns were solid black, and one of them was broken off on the right side as if it was snapped with an excessive amount of force. His clothing was the standard black and white butler's outfit.
Right now in terms of work, Donner was cleaning the windows, while the two other imps were mopping the floor. Simpple as it may have been, they got honest payment and of course housing which was another benefit when you work in a noble household. Nothing really 'exciting' happens much at the mansion, but that doesn't stop the servants from trying to take things up a notch.
Sometimes, to help pass the time and since nobody else was around they did a little singing while doing their chores whenever the opportunity was given, and whenever the mistress of the house wasn't around either, which luckily, she wasn't.
" What shall we do with a drunken sailor
What shall we do with a drunken sailor,
What shall you do with a drunken sailor,
Early in the morning! "
" I'd probably marry him. " The female imp said with a shrug while the male imp gave her an expression that said 'bullshit'.
He then snorted in amusement continuing to mop while commenting. " And then you cheat on him. "
The female imp stopped mopping giving him a glare. " I will gut you like a fucking fish. "
" Hey no. " Donner paused at what he was doing. " No stabbing. I just finished waxing this floor earlier. You could take it outside, but unfortunately you can't. Loretta you're still on probation and Stu your still in deep shit after the incident with the bathroom last week. "
" How many times do I have to say it? " The male imp now identified as Stu exclaimed putting his arms in the air. " I didn't leave the seat up. Even if I did, why the hell do broads not bother looking themselves even in the dark? It ain't that damn hard not to feel for it. "
" Speak for yourself, we got to sit down to do our business and at the middle of the night, that sucks when it's down and we end up falling in. "
Stu gave her a none caring look. " Tough crap Loretta. How about getting your head out of your ass and actually feel for it then? Like a fucking normal person with common sense. "
Loretta simply gave a deep sigh continuing to mop the floor. " If you weren't my brother, you'd be in a coffin by now. "
" Donner? " A voice called out making the three-stop working.
" Hmmm? " They turn to see it was Merida who motioned the avian demon over to her. Dropping what he was doing Donner and the others continued working, he made his way over to the head maid gazing up at her to meet the sinner's eyes. " Did you need something Merida? "
" No, I just came to let you know the Lord of the house summons you. "
" Any particular reason? "
" Just only that it was urgent. " She answered before turning around and starts to walk off. " Come along now Donner. It'd be best not to keep him waiting. "
" Will do. " Donner replied as he glanced over to Loretta & Stu both of them raising up their arms giving off the expression 'what's going on?' Meanwhile Donner only just shrugged his shoulders just as clueless as they were.
In Stolas's private office we see the owl demon on the phone with a giddy smile on his face tapping his fingers on the desk.
" I do hope you remember our agreement Blitzy. Because tomorrow I will need my Grimoire, also a bit of bad news. I'll be needing it for the next three days. " The one he was talking to on the line clearly wasn't happy about this, but despite that Stolas was unfazed not bothered one bit. He was apparently more excited?
" Awww, I'm sorry. But I have a job to do as well. I can't just simply avoid everything forever. Even if it made things more exciting~ Tell you what, if I finish early I'll let you know and in exchange, you f- "
*Clearing throat*
Stolas's eyes widened panicking and looked to see Donner was standing there with his arms crossed raising his right eyebrow.
" Anyways, you get the point...Gotta go now darling. Toodles. " He slams down the phone and quickly recollects himself clearing his throat. " How long have you been standing there Donner? "
" Long enough. "
" You know it's rude to eavesdrop on a conversation. "
" Just as it's rude to keep someone waiting when you called them up for something evidently 'important'. " Donner retorted back. " Anyways, you sent for me master? "
" I told you, whenever were alone you don't have to call me that. " The owl demon said before motioning him to a chair in front of his desk. " Anway's please, have a seat. "
" Ok. " Donner slumped down into the seat using the nobles first name." So, something wrong Stolas? Am I in trouble? "
" No, you're not. But, I believe I have a task for you. "
Donner grew intrigued. " I'm listening. "
" As you know, just only two months ago, was the annual cleansing. And as your aware every year when that event is done. Overlords come into areas to claim more ground to either establish or expand their territories. Just only yesterday, I received an anomalous tip about an unsavory rumor saying that a group of demons is apparently setting up shop only about twenty miles away from here. "
" Do you suspect that there up to something? " Donner questioned. " Because, no Overlord controls any part of this area, much less anywhere in Imp City itself. Most of this entire area is all under your jurisdiction due to your status. They might be crazy, but there not all that stupid either. "
" That it is true. " Stolas admitted standing up from his chair walking up to the window behind him getting a clear view of the outside. " However, there are some demons who become bolder and will try to make a move. Which is why I need you to deal with this possible problem. "
" Anything else? "
" If you could, ever so possibly bring one back. Alive. "
" No promises on that request. But I'll try. " He stands up from the chair. " Consider it done. "
" Good. " Stolas was pleased with his answer. " Now, on your way Donner. Do what you must. "
" As you wish. " With a light bow Donner makes his way out. When he left Stolas reached underneath his desk pulling out a bottle of his favorite brand of alchoohol. Placing the bottle on the desk he reached into a drawer bringing out a small glass before he proceeded to pour a little bit into it.
Stolas took a small sip of the his brand sighing in content enjoying the taste. As he was going for another, he paused stopping the glass at the tip of his beak. The reason why was because he glanced over to see a large sword wrapped in a white cloth decorated on the wall inside of a glass case.
" Not ready yet...It'll be a while longer till he is. "
At the same time that night we now focus on a large, abandoned factory that was in a more desolated part of the Pride Ring itself. The very grounds were filled with dozens of rotting corpses from dead demons, while most didn't realize but for the last few years after the exorcists kill of the demons during the cleansing those that were tasked with cleaning up the Pride Ring would often use this place a dumping ground for the corpses making this place one massive burial and feeding ground especially for cannibals.
We now see three male imps and a cat sinner playing cards.
" So you guys ever been those rumored underground catacombs? " One the males asked taking a puff of his cigar.
" Only once. " The cat sinner replied. " Really old ones too. Ain't gotta clue on how old all that shit is. They all say, it dates back to the old days of hell itself. "
" Pff, oh please. At one point everyone knows that this place was once a sea of blood, fire and death for those that came to this shit hole. So why should we even care that it's there? "
" I'm just asking a question that's all. Sheesh. "
" Hey while were at it, you think that were really gonna fine here? I know the job we got coming up is supposed to be big and all. But shit... "
" What's you're got you're panties in a twist? "
" W-Well It's just you know what's only a few miles away from here right?
One of the imps scoffed at what he was implying. " Yeah, we already know. It's that imp fucking birdbrain. Hard to believe a noble like that would sleep with one of our kind. Heh, I bet if he likes getting screwed around so much, I'd have a shot at him take all that mooks doh. "
" Oh please, that ain't gonna happen. Hey by the way there's been a lot of talk going around in the streets lately. "
The cat sinner got curious. " What talk? "
" I don't know, something about there being a new guy that showed up recently. "
" Yeah, I know what you're talking about, been the latest buzz too. They all say that the guy's tough enough to be an overlord. "
" Pff, an Overlord? Right, you want to know one perfect example on an Overlord? The Radio Demon! Now that's one scary motherfucker I wouldn't want to run into. " As he said that they heard the sound of rumbling thunder" Huh? "
" What? "
" Looks it's gonna rain.
" Rain? What are you talking about. " They glance up at the ceiling and sure enough it did start to rain, and the sounds of thunder and lightning were heard. " Oh, fuck me. It is. "
" Ok, this is getting stupid we gonna finish this game or what? " One of the imps questioned in annoyance.
" Actually, guys. I'm gonna call it a night. " The cat sinner spoke up planting the cards on the table getting up.
" What? Is the pussy cat afraid of losing? "
" Get bent over Steve. " The feline retorted back walking off while the imp in question laughed.
" That's what the same succubus said to me last night. " He and his two friends bursted into laughter while the cat sinner walked down the hall to get to his liviing quarters.
Just as he turned around the corner the sinner suddenly got embedded into the side of his skull spluttering out a bit of blood. The cause of it, was a steel hatchet, the one holding it was Donner. Carefully he dragged the fresh corpse taking it around the corner before jerking the weapon out.
Peaking over the corner Donner saw the three other demons continuing to play their game of cards. Slowly retracting back he reached behind his back pulling out another weapon. It was a Kriss USA gen 1 Vector with an extended magazine and its stock removed.
With both weapons at hand Donner proceeded to take deep inhale before exhaling tightening his grips. He sprung to action running forward, once he was close enough, he threw his hatchet going straight towards on the demons embedding itself into the right side of the poor saps neck.
" The hell!? " The hyena sinner questioned as he and coworker drew out there weapons and opened fired. Just as they did Donner sprung up into the air and returned fire taking both of them out with ease giving them a few rounds each.
Donner landed back down when he did four imps came out taking aim. Donner didn't need to look as streams of electricity came bursting out of his left claw sending them all flying, each one dying instantly from the sheer voltage of the attack. With that done, Donner reached down planting a foot on the corpse holding his hatchet and pulled it out.
He turned his attention the sounds of footsteps on the metal plating's on the floors and headed in that direction kicking a set of doors open. From the right an imp with a machete charged only to get a few rounds in his chest sending him back flying. Going down the corridor he spotted an imp about to come out of hiding, he didn't get the chance as Donner fired off a few rounds into his side killing him instantly.
Up at the rafters he heard three sinners run in his direction. Raising up his left hand he began to charge of electricity and fired a stream which hit one of them and resonated with two others killing them instantly. From the left another imp came charging only to get a few rounds in his chest.
Donner then heard a few doors being forced open turning around to see a very large and hideous demon pry a set of doors open. It walked towards him but stumbled back as Donner fired a few rounds into it's right shoulder followed by the right and then the chest before taking out his hatchet and sprung forward hitting the demon in the leg making it scream out in pain kneeling down before Donner fired off some more rounds blowing off it's head.
He took the hatchet out and the clip on his vector swapping it for another. He continued to go in deeper and then the right an imp came jumping out at Donner with who swiftly swung his hatchet decapitating him.
Donner continued forward kicking a door open and open fired upon a few more imps taking them out easily with ease.
Then from the right Donner got knocked back into a wall by another muscular demon who proceeded to lift him into the air.
Instead of struggling Donner grabbed his arm with both hands and sent high voltage of electricity making him cry out in pain letting him go. Not wasting another moment Donner swung his hatchet cutting off its right leg making the demon tumble roaring out in pain down before planting the edge of his weapon right into it's chest killing it instantly.
He looked over and saw a very male sinner with very deformed skin going towards him. Quickly Donner grabbed his Vector and fired off a round making it stumble back before flying up keeping his weapon aimed firing off a trail as he went up making it drop to the floor dead.
With that done he rushed down a hallway looking to the right to see it was a dead end before turning around to see another deformed sinner running up to him before turning around and ran away but didn't leave unscathed as Donner fired off a few rounds with some hitting it.
Donner didn't waste any time and flew up in the middle of the stairs finding the deformed demon in the process shooting off three rounds blowing the damn things head into pieces. He then began to descend upwards and along the way he was taking out sinners, demons and imps left and right without even trying or paying attention hearing painful groans signifying there ends.
The demon swung the saw and quickly enough Donner brought up his hatchet to block the saw creating some sparks in the process from the metal clashing with another. With a grunt Donner kicked the demon making it stumble back firing off a couple rounds in its chest and in the process fired off a few more knocking the saw out of its hands. Gripping the hatchet tightly electricity began to surge around the weapon before he sprung forward skidding down going underneath it's legs before bolting up with his wings bringing it down right into the back of the demon's neck dragging it down leaving a large bloody gash on its back.
Donner kicked the corpse down and continued forward not before he swapped the current clip on his vector for another making sure it was properly in there.
Entering through another set of doors going around the corner Donner embedded his hatchet into the side of an imp following up by firing a couple more rounds on a hyena sinner who fell of a nearby railing before firing up close at the imp in the chest knocking it off his melee weapon.
He then heard the sound of roaring and looked to see a pipe was coming straight to his face knocking him down to the floor followed by a shotgun barrel getting a few inches away from his face. Quickly Donner rolled to the side kicking the imp in the leg before coating his right claw in electricity plunging it right into his chest. Not wasting much time he flew up tossing the corpse onto another demon before diving down to another imp who tried to run off planting his talons into his back getting a scream which was silence when Donner dragged his claws across the imps throat and jumped backwards grabbing the shotgun aiming it at it's owner blowing his head off in the process.
Donner hummed a bit with interest before aiming the shotgun right behind hearing the death grunt of a demon. Tossing the shotgun aside, he picked up his weapons and continued forward getting into a corridor firing off a few rounds of his vector at a few more imps knocking them to the ground before throwing his hatchet to a bull demon hitting it in the side of the neck while the avian demon reached out and grabbed an imp by the throat.
Nearby a rhino sinner ran up with Donner's own hatchet at hand, going for the kill. Only to get taken by surprise as Donner caught the weapon in the middle flipping it up and catching it before striking him right in between the eye getting a large amount of blood splatter following it up by electrocuting the imp he had letting the body fall down to the floor.
Taking a left he fired off a few rounds taking out an imp from the rafters above him proceeding to reload his gun in the process. Afterwards he kicked open a large set of doors and got into a massive opening looking around and keeping his gun on the ready.
But then out of nowhere multiple lights flashed on blinding Donner for a brief moment. When his senses came back he realized that he was surrounded and there were dozens of demons all keeping their guns straight onto the avian demon waiting for him to make his move. If he doesn't time this right, he will die. But of course, knowing one of the common traits among the inhabitants of hell itself, it was known fact that in one form or another, you don't go down without a fight.
And that was something Donner was going to do. Carefully and slowly he made his move, raising his arms up into the air. The tension in the air was thick was they all got ready to fire watching as he let his vector drop to the floor followed by his hatchet.
Then suddenly he jumped bolting straight as the demons opened fired trailing him as he wrapped his wings around his body spinning as he went up while sparks of electricity emitted from his body. When he got up high enough, he spread out his wings unleashing over a dozen volts of electricity that surged out around him. Each volt hitting a couple of demons which began a chain resonating the energy and those around them like spark plugs, all of them screaming out in pain as they felt the sheer voltage coursing through their bodies, not long before they all each disintegrated one into ash.
With that done he landed back down looking around to make sure he was alone, Donner dusted off his coat and picked up his weapons. Not long after he heard a loud slam whipping his head over to the right to see a door was open. Not wasting the chance Donner sped upwards bursting through the cieling and into the pouring rain outside. Browsing around he spotted a car was about to take off not before he held out a finger firing off a bolt of lighting hitting the back of the vehicle causing it to flip upside down.
Down below the one trying to make an escape was Hellhound who groaned in pain crawling out from the flipped car before getting up and trying to make a run for it.
" Going somewhere? " Hearing the sudden voice the demon turned around to hear a flap of wings instantly the hellhound was terrified. Turning around he saw Donner up in the air looking down at him, as a bolt of lightning struck flashing light giving the avian demon a more menacing appearance.
" Y-You! " The hellhound stuttered watching as Donner landed back on the ground keeping his gaze locked onto his prey.
" You're the last one alive. Not to bad which saves me the trouble. "
" What trouble? "
" That's easy. My boss want's a word with you. And if you cooperate, we'll let you go. "
" Oh really? That imp-sucking bird face is gonna let me go? Yeah I don't fucking think so. "
" Hey, it's your call. But I'll just say it in a way you'll understand in simpler terms. So one more time. Surrender, or die. "
The hellhound only growled as he drew two large knives making Donner chuckle. " So you're gonna stand your ground huh? I can respect that. " He proceeds to put his vector into it's holster along with his hatchet. "
" Infact. I'll give you a chance to do away with me. " Donner starts to walk over to him. The hellhound throws one knife and Donner easily avoids it moving to the side
" Strike one. " He threw the knife but with a mere tilt of his head Donner avoided the incoming knife which was only mere inches away from his face.
" Strike two! Come on! Try harder...try again! "
Panicking the hound drew his last knife adn threw it. But much to the hellhounds shock Donner clasped both hands together catching the knife as it was only just mere inches away from his face. As the demon stood there flabbergasted, Donner returned the weapon back which impaled itself in it's owner's own shoulder.
" Strike 3. You tried...but you only failed. : Donner grabbed the hellhound by the shoulders shoving him against the car. " So, now, you and I are gonna talk. "
" I don't think so. " The hellhound used his tongue to wiggle around his teeth popping out a tooth and chewed down on it. " Go fuck yourself... " He said just as foam and bubbles seeped through his mouth showing he'd just took a suicide pill. Donner scoffed at this and let the body fall down to the ground.
About one hour later Donner flew back to city and currently we see him at a small milkshake stand. Walking up to it, he rang a bell and immediately someone answered.
The one who answered him was a female hellhound with features matching that of a black poodle. " What will it be love? " She asked in a British accent.
Dinner meanwhile tapped his finger underneath his beak glancing up at the menu. " What kind specials you got? "
" Blueberry Chocolate, & Strawberry Vanilla. We also Coco-Caramel. "
" Hmm...I'll have the strawberry vanilla, extra large. "
" Coming right up. " She started to get to work while Donner sat down at a small table nearby. While waiting for his shake Donner reached into his pocket. It was a piece of a flag, one that had a very odd looking emblem on it. It was a cog mark with six wings in the middle and four claw marks with two coming from each angle.
Naturally Donner was confused, he had seen different kinds of marks over the years, most being symbols for Royal families, and other times from the lower class demons. He couldn't put his finger on this one at all. Maybe Stolas knew what it was.
" Here you are. " The stand owner said getting his attention snapping him out of his thoughts putting the flag into back into his pocket.
" Alright love, that'll be 15 souls. "
Donner raised an eyebrow at that price. " 15 souls? I'll be the judge of that. " Taking off the cap Donner slowly brought the drink to his beak sipping the contents for a brief second and set it back down.
Donner sighed in satisfaction before put the cap back on and he reached into his wallet pulling out twenty and planted it on the counter.

Naturally the hound was surprised by this while Donner smirked at her reaction. " Keep the change. "
With that said he starts walking off humming a bit pondering in thought. " Well, Stolas won't be happy that I didn't bring anyone back, but, at least I won't return empty handed. Like at all...he did say that do what I have to do. So maybe get like a slap on the wrist or something? " He asked taking a drink from his straw.
" Mmm~ Then again, I didn't leave empty handed. Only downside though, got more questions then answers. " He shrugged his shoulders glancing down at his drink.
" In the meantime, though, I'll just enjoy this. " Uncurling his wings Donner took the air at astounding speeds all while drinking his shake enjoying the taste and texter. " Yep, that's really good stuff right there... "
To be Continued
Back in Destiny's Bar we zoom outwards away from the tv till we see Destiny itself who was still in the same barstool.
" Hiya everyone, did you all enjoy that? I most certainly did. " Destiny stands up from the barstool. " Not only do we get to meet our main protagonist, Donner. He is really has the cliche mysterious vibe doesn't he? But we're all suckers for stories like that aren't we?! "
Destiny proceeds to do a dance spinning around before striking a pose. " Like myself, guilty as charged! But aside from that, I can already feel that something will want to stick it's ugly head out real soon. Plus, what Donner doesn't expect will help him on his journey. " If you were all able to see it, then Destiny would be smiling behind it's cloak.
" As I said, this here is a love story, and next time it'll begin. " Destiny then waves both arms in the air. " Sayonara! "
...
Well, there you have it for the first chapter of Helluva Servant.
As I said from the start, this one story will be extremely a bit more different then what I've done before.
So either way hope you all enjoyed reading this story.
Peace out!
