SummerAngel92: Okay everyone; enjoy this new chapter 'Hounds of Hell'.
Chapter One: Hounds Of Hell
A tall dark figure dropped on the ground silently. Hawk-like gold eyes search around for any danger lurking about. None now but should still be very cautious.
Iria Morgan idly took a cigarette stick from her pocket and putting it between her lips. She did not use any lighter, merely click her fingers and fire appeared at the tip of her forefinger. Lighting up the cigarette, she shakes her fingers to extinguish the fire.
She glanced at her watch before muttering a curse. "Damn, where the hell is he?"
There was loud music playing nearby. Following the source, she found a club near by. The club name was 'Love Planet'
'What a lame name…' she thought when both she and her partner received the assignment.
Speaking of her partner, where in hell was he?
"Yang better be here or else…."
"What did I do this time, mom?" A voice asked from behind.
Startled, she spun away, drawing her sword and held the sharp end against the person neck. The person squeaked.
"Mom, it's only me!" The person steps out from the dark.
"Yang? Is it you or a shape shifter? " She questioned, menacingly.
"It's me! Honest!" The person yelped as the blade was pressed hard against his neck.
Iria looks at him suspiciously before deciding to test him. "What are you?"
"A Dark Angel." The person groaned.
"Who are you working for?"
"The Dark Watch."
'Hmm…' "Who do you hate most?"
"Nicknames like cutie or teddy bear." He grumbled.
Iria smiled and chuckled. "You are definitely Yang." In addition, she lowers the sword from his neck. "So, what took you so long?"
"The Dark Watch sent me to investigate a spirit portal in the pacific. Bloody bastard thinks I can breathe underwater."
"You are one of the best." She pointed out.
"I'm not water spirit. They should have sent a sea dragon to do the damn job." Yang muttered.
"So how did you do it?" She asked curiously.
He grins suddenly. "Swipe one of them pills to breathe underwater."
"If they found out…" She sighed, shaking her head.
"You mean, IF they found out that is." His grin faded as he looks at the club. "So that's the place?"
"Yes."
"Looks pretty normal to me…" He frowned. Suddenly there was a loud screaming from within and something from the inside is toss outside.
"Not for long…" She muttered and runs toward the 'thing'.
Both stopped dead in their tracks when they saw what it was.
It was a body. The body lost an arm and there was a large gash on its chest. The poor person was amazingly still alive but barely. Yang rushed to him and bends down.
"What happened?" He asked gently.
"A...hu...ge...mon... ster…." He coughed a mouthful of blood and his body went limp, eyes wide open with fear.
Yang quietly closed the man's eyes and stand up. Iria glanced at him. "What did he say?"
"It's Cerberus alright. Let's go." Yang said eyes on the door, filled with determination.
She nodded. Both ran towards the door. Yang's weapon was a katana and a gun. His right hand is holding the katana and the other a gun.
"Ready?"
"I'm born ready." Yang growled
"Be careful." She slowly opens the door and peeks inside. All she saw is red.
'Pray it's not blood…'she thought, grimly.
Opening the door wider, she was fully correct. It was blood.
Almost everything is cover in blood. "Oh bloody hell…" Iria heard from Yang.
"This place looks like there had been a blood war in here."
"Yeah…." Yang perked his head up, ears catching a sound. "Huh? Iria, can you hear that?" Yang asked.
Crunch Crunch
"Sounds like….munching?" She whispered. The color drained from Yang's face. "Oh shit…"
Yang and Iria found where the crunching is and both were horrified at the scene.
A large animal was munching on something. Beside it is a corpse of a woman. Her eyes are bulging out, her body, bent in a painful angle and half of her lower half was gone.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Yang gagged.
"Hush!" She hissed. Too late, the creature heard Yang. It lifted its hairy head towards the two. Its mouth was soaked in fresh blood and they knew what it was eating. It was a woman's leg.
The ugly creature tossed his head back and howled. It slowly turns towards them and advance forward at them.
Suddenly a large figure pounced from nowhere and on to Yang. It was also an exact replica of the other one except this one had no blood on its mouth.
It looks very hungry.
Yang was able to stop those sharp canine teeth from sinking themselves on his body with his katana but the hound was heavy and it landed on top of him, trying to bite away the katana.
"Yang!" She is about to help Yang but the hound with blood swiped a paw at her. She dodges it and swings her sword at it.
Yang struggles against the heaviness of the creature that pinned him down. The only thing that kept it from biting him was the katana.
"Get off!" Yang snarled. With amazing strength, he pushes the creature back.
The hellhound howled in anger and lunge at him. Yang quickly fired at the right eye. It staggered back, howling in pain. He used the chance to finishes it off. He lunges his katana at the hellhounds head before yanking at back. The hellhound roared and fell to his side. It move for a moment or two and finally stopped. Yang would have cheered in joy if it were not for Iria situation.
Iria was deflecting every swipe that it dishes out but the hound was stronger than she is. She tripped over a corpse and fell on her back. She looks up at the hound in fear and anger.
If the hellhound could grin, it would. It prey was defenseless. The hound is about swipe at her but someone else shielded her.
It was Yang.
Blood trickled from his back. There was a horrible scratch mark on his back. His leather trench coat and leather shirt was dripping with blood.
Yang spun around and the katana pierced through the monster's heart. It staggered backwards while glaring at the katana. It looks at them for a moment and howled. It exploded into a shower of dust. The katana clattered on the floor when it did.
Yang winced and dropped to his knees.
"Shit! Yang, are you okay?" She asked, worriedly.
"I'm…okay. I think." He grimaced in pain. "How bad does it look?"
Iria checked the wound. "Pretty bad. You're bleeding all over."
Yang got up weakly. "Guess I've got to get a new trench coat." With that, he collapsed into her arm.
"Yang!" She gasped. She quickly put his arm around her neck while grasping it tightly, the other, around his waist. 'He needs to be treated immediately.'
She grabs her sword and Yang's katana before glancing around. 'There should be a portal here somewhere…Aha!'
A portal was at the corner of a booth. "So this is where they appeared." She said. She looks at a couple, dead obviously. "Too bad they died like this. They looked like a cute couple." She said, sadly.
She wasted no time. Dawn is coming and so will the police. "I hope no one saw them or us…" She walked into the black-purple swirling portal and it disappeared as soon they went in.
