Chapter 13

D.H.O.R.K.S.

Laundry room

"In you go." Said Gwen as she placed the last piece of dirty clothes into the dry machine. After turning on the machine, Gwen skipped over to a nearby seat and waited for the machine to finish so she can fold all the newly dried clothes. As she waited, she looked at her new outfit and smiled.

"This is quite comfortable." Said Gwen as she looked all over herself, seeing just how nicely the uniform of D.H.O.R.K.S. fitted her. She knew that it was just one of many suits made quickly, but it still was quite nice to wear. "Not as comfortable as my dress, but it's still quite nice. Oh, I should thank the one that made this uniform for me." After she finished examining herself, her mind went to her friend.

"Oh, I dear hope he doesn't get into trouble." Thought Gwen worriedly as she recalled her friends'…problem when he sensed blood. "I know I lit all the candles in our home before I left, but I can't help but worry. He told me how they're starting to lose their effectiveness and that soon we'll have to buy brand new ones. I just hope that they can hold for a little while longer. I don't want to lose this job because he couldn't control his animal side."

Meanwhile

In a cheap apartment room, a pair of yellow eyes were staring down at a T.V. It was currently on, but was just showing static. Despite watching just static, the eyes still stared at the T.V. like it was the most interesting thing in the world as their owner laid on the floor, surrounded by scented candles.

Speaking of candles, there were scented candles everywhere. From the window sills to the kitchen and even the front door, there were candles everywhere, some of which looked like they were about to run out of wax.

The light from all the candles showed the shape of the owner of the yellow eyes. Their shape was similar to the form of a classic werewolf, but there were several differences. First, their ears were more bat-like than dog-like. There was plain evidence of machinery all over their back and right arm with lines glowing green. A monstrous beast, no doubt, but within that beast laid the mind of a man. A man that was trying his hardest to keep the beast within him in check. A process that was hard to do in the neighborhood he lived in.

So much crime happened in the night. So much preying on the innocent. So much sin. And so many criminals that deserved death. He heard and smelt it all. The beast was eager to go out and hunt. To kill. But the man was holding it back through sheer force of will. So long as he didn't smell any blo…

As if fate held some twisted amusement, the figure smelt something through the powerful aromas of all the scented candles. Something metallic. Something raw. Something…primal.

Sniffing out the scent, the figure moved towards a window and opened it, despite his mind telling him it was a bad idea. Deprived of the scented candles, the figure can smell the scent unimpeded and can immediately tell what the scent was.

Blood. Meat. Human meat. The stench of death permeated his nose. It was something that awakened the beast.

Soon, the figure was roaring out in pain as piston-like objects on their back began to turn orange and his eyes began to turn red. Roaring out in pain and anger, the figure tried to control himself but failed. Soon, the figure roared out again, this time in hunger and rage. They then crashed through the window of their apartment, creating a massive hole in it, before running on all fours to where they smelt blood. Where they smelt prey.

Meanwhile

"Alright, we're done now." Said Blitzo as he looked at satisfaction at their most recent hit. The assassination of a fat-ass lawyer that screwed over their current client. Normally they would be a little more conservative given what Mordekaiser warned them some time ago, but what the heck. Overkill is always awesome to do. And besides, it's not like anyone was going to miss him. He was a lawyer.

"Yes, but we may have overdone it a bit." Said Moxxie as he looked at the blood that was everywhere, something that was done because of his wife after Blitzo told her to go all in. "Did the client request we splatter their blood like this?"

"If they did, then they got good tastes." Said Blitzo with a smile. "Now let's get the fuck back home to collect our reward and go back to spying on that Overlord slut so Mordekaiser doesn't kill us for slacking on that."

"You don't have to tell me twice, sir." Said Moxxie, eager to get back before Mordekaiser or any of his soldiers figure out what they did. Millie, meanwhile, was already out of the apartment their target was in and was waiting for the boys.

"But first let's hide the remains." Said Blitzo as he picked up the remains of their target and placed them into a trash bag. "Let's put in the nearby trash dump and get someone blamed for the murder. It'll be fun as fuck." Moxxie was about to argue with his boss about that, but Blitzo was already out of the apartment room, forcing Moxxie to go after him.

A few seconds later, Moxxie found Blitzo stuffing the trash bag of human remains in a local trash dump.

"Shh, remember we can't be seen." Said Blitzo before he slammed the dump close, making a big bang. He then slipped on a banana peel and crashed into a small heap of trash, making even more noise.

"Sir, you're the only one making noise." Said Moxxie while his wife giggled at their boss.

"Oh shut your dick-sucking lips, Moxxie." Said Blitzo as he glared at his employee while poking at him with a sock-covered finger, making Moxxie cringe in disgust. Millie, meanwhile, was at the newly formed portal that Loona made and was about to go through it when she, along with everyone else in I.M.P., heard a loud howl.

"The fuck?" Asked Blitzo upon hearing that. He then turned to his adoptive daughter, who was confused at hearing the howl. "Loona, did you bring anyone in the office while we're gone?" Before Loona can make an insulting remark, a large figure suddenly landed behind Blitzo, growing and baring its fangs at the Imp. Turning around, Blitzo saw the figure and gulped.

It was massive. Easily over three meters in height. It had dark blue fur with muscles that put even Vortex, Verosika's bodyguard, to shame. It had raggedy brown pants and that was the extent of its clothing, allowing the Imp to see the metal augments all over the hellhound-like beings' body, one of which was an impressive set of metal claws on its right arm that put the lefts' natural ones to shame. It also held two piston-like objects on its back that were glowing red. The same color as the figure's eyes, which were looking directly at Blitzo as the figure's teeth bared down at him.

Before Blitzo could even say anything, the figure grabbed him by the throat and slammed him straight into a wall, making a big hole in it.

"Sir!" Yelled out Moxxie in concern as he saw this happen. He then brought out a pistol and was about to fire it when the hellhound figure grabbed Moxxie by the throat as well. Being brought before the figure's face, Moxxie had just enough time to whimper before the figure extended out its metal claws and rammed them straight into Moxxie's abdomen. Moxxie heard his wife scream out in horror as the figure ripped off a portion of Moxxie from his abdomen, taking his shoulder and left arm with it. As Moxxie screamed out in pain at this, the figure tossed the Imp away from him as he focused on both Loona and Millie, both of which were stunned at what just happened. Roaring out, the figure was about to charge towards the two females when Blitzo grabbed him from behind, catching it off guard.

"Loona!" Yelled Blitzo as he struggled to hold on as the monster tried to shake Blitzo off. "Grab Millie and close the portal!"

"Wait no!" Yelled Millie when she realized what Blitzo just said. She tried to run in to help the boys when Loona grabbed her and dragged her into the portal before closing it. With the portal now closed and his prey gone, the monster focused on Blitzo. Slamming him straight into the wall again. Doing it multiple times until Blitzo finally let go. Once he did, the figure looked at the broken Imp along with the one bleeding out.

Blitzo's spine was damaged from the multiple slams into the wall. His left eye was swollen shut, and his legs felt like they were on fire. Despite all that, Blitzo still fought on. Spitting out some black blood, Blitzo looked at the figure, eyes still red.

"That all you got, you piece of shit?" Asked Blitzo, not going down without a fight. In response, the figure opened up its jaws, revealing sharp teeth, before biting down on Blitzo's neck. Before the Imp could do anything, the monster began to bite down hard on the Imp while also slicing and cutting the Imp to piece, splattering blood everywhere. It was about to finish the Imp off when it was suddenly electrocuted. Roaring out in pain, causing it to drop the mauled Imp to the ground, the figure looked to see two D.H.O.R.K.S. operatives firing their guns at it. It tried to go after them, but they soon fired a net at him, trapping him as it wrapped him up into a ball, which then electrocuted him as well. Eventually, the figure lost consciousness, which allowed the D.H.O.R.K.S. to move in.

"Hell yeah." Said one operative, the male, as he smiled. "Not only did we get two demons, but we also caught ourselves a werewolf. The boss is so going to be happy with us."

"Yeah." Said the other operative, a female, with a smile as well. "You think he'll give us a raise?"

Meanwhile

Millie was currently slamming her fist into the wall of the I.M.P. office while tears were flowing freely down her face. She wanted to go back to the alleyway where she last saw the boys and teach that monster that attacked them a lesson for hurting her Moxxie. She'll rip it into tiny pieces and make it slow as possible for every inch of flesh that it ripped off Moxxie's body. But she couldn't. Not when Loona was refusing to open the portal. Eventually, she stopped punching the wall, and began to just cry, slumping to the floor in agony.

Loona, upon seeing this, couldn't help but speak up.

"Uh…you okay?" Asked Loona lamely. That caused Millie to go up and glare at her.

"What the fuck are you doing!?" Demanded Millie. "The boys are in danger! We need to go fucking help them!"

"Help them! Against that thing?" Asked Loona incredulously. "Did you see the size of that thing and how easy it took down both Blitz and your boy toy!? No way am I going to open a portal back there with that thing out there. That thing will kill without even trying. I say, before we do anything else, we get either that rich fucker to help out us or go find Mordekaiser and explain what we did. Otherwise, we're just going to get ourselves kil…" Loona couldn't say anymore when Millie grabbed her shirt and glared at her.

"Open the fucking portal now!" Screamed Millie as she pulled Loona closer to her, rage in her eyes. Scared after seeing Millie this angry, Loona did what she asked, opening a portal exactly where the last one was. After she grabbed a massive battle-ax, Millie went through the portal while Loona went to grab a backpack of emergency supplies that Blitzo had in case something like this ever happened. Once she got the backpack, she transformed into her human disguise, which was a punk teen with her hair all over on one side of her head. Loona then followed Millie and saw the carnage up close.

"Whoa." Said Loona upon seeing the carnage. She wasn't able to get a good look at what happened as she was a bit far away from the bloodshed, but this place looked even worse than before. Millie, meanwhile, looked around for the monster and the boys horrified at what she saw. Blood everywhere and Moxxie's arm and shoulder on the ground, spilling out blood. Seeing the flesh, Millie went over to it and kneeled at it, tears forming in her eyes. Soon, she began bawling her eyes out.

"That…that monster must have eaten them." Said Millie as she grabbed Moxxie's arm and embraced it, crying all the while. "Why wasn't I there to stop that fucking thing from doing this? Why Moxxie!? Why the fuck did you leave me!?" As Millie continued to cry, Loona, feeling a bit bad as well as being a bit sad as well, though she would never admit to it, tried to comfort Millie, but stopped when she smelled something.

"Hey." Said Loona as she began sniffing some more. It was a bit weird but she could have sworn that she was smelling both Moxxie and Blitz's scent coming out of the alleyway. Eventually, she got out of the alleyway and still smelt their scent along with three others. "I got something. Moxxie and Blitz scent is coming from here." Upon hearing that, Millie went over to Loona's position quickly, hope in her heart.

"They're alive?!" Yelled out Millie in hope that her Moxxie was alive. Loona continued to sniff before saying yes.

"Yeah." Said Loona as she sniffed some more. "Barely though. I also got the scent of two humans and another I can't pinpoint. Got to be that monster that beat the shit out of the dumbass twins."

"Well, then let's go!" Demanded Millie. If Moxxie was still alive, they got to rescue him and Blitz. And also get revenge on that blasted monster for hurting them so much. When she got her hands on that monster, it'll wish it was never born.

"Whatever." Said Loona as she grabbed Millie before running towards the direction where Moxxie and Blitzo's scent was coming from. As she ran, she couldn't help but be afraid for her adopted father. Much as it may seem like it, Loona didn't actually hate her adopted dad. He took her in when he didn't want to. He tolerated her behavior, even seemingly encouraging it by not trying to discipline her whenever it got out of hand. Gave her a job at his cruddy business and was always supportive of her decision, like when she didn't want to go to crudy college or get those sex toys when she had that phase in her life. All this, combined with his generally weird personality, made Loona love her adopted father, though she would never admit it to anyone, Blitz especially.

When she saw that monster hurt her adopted dad, she would have jumped into the fray to kill it if she wasn't so afraid of seeing it take him down so quickly. This time, she wouldn't freeze up. She would find and kill that bastard for hurting her dad. And if it killed him, then it was going to have a slow death. As she ran, she prayed to Lucifer and Satan that Blitzo was fine. She didn't give two shits about Moxxie, though she didn't say that out loud in fear of Millie massacring her for it, she just wanted Blitzo to be safe.

Meanwhile

D.H.O.R.K.S.

"Excellent work, agents!" Yelled out the buff man that recruited Gwen into their ranks as he looked at the two Imps that they caught, both barely alive, as well as the massive beast that was filled with so many anesthetics that even a fully adult Hippo couldn't wake up for days. "This will be definite proof to the government that we aren't a bunch of loons and that demons and other mythical creatures exist! You two definitely deserve a promotion for this!" Upon hearing that, the agents smiled.

"That's great sir!" Said the male agent. "But, uh, do we get a raise?"

"And do we get to have some more cool gadgets as well?" Asked the female agent. The buff man, obviously their boss, was about to respond when they heard a loud roar.

The three humans turned to see, to their shock, the massive wolf-thing awake and starting to fight its constraints.

"The hell! We pumped that thing full of anesthetics!" Yelled the male agent as he saw the werewolf fighting to free itself. "No way it can be awake now!"

"Doesn't matter!" Yelled the boss before pointing to the male agent. "Agent one! Pump more drugs into that thing before it gets free." He then pointed to the female agent. "Agent two! Get more restraints on that thing once it's unconscious again! And get a doctor while you're at it! We can't let those two demons die! They're out evidence along with that monster thing!"

"Roger." Said Agents one and two before going to get supplies for their assigned tasks. As she was running down the halls, agent two realized something.

"Wait. All the fucking docs are out on vocation!" Yelled agent two before slapping herself in annoyance. "Argh. The one time we actually catch some paranormal stuff and this happens." As she was thinking about what to do, she heard some joyful humming from the laundry room. Curious, she went inside and found their latest recruit folding clothes while she hummed a beautiful tune.

"And with that, the clothes are all complete!" Yelled Gwen as she folded the last batch of clothes, placing it on top of a tall tower of clothes. Giggling to herself at the tall tower, she was about to start carrying it out of the laundry room when she noticed agent two. "Oh hello, fellow agent! What can I do for you?"

"Uh, nothing." Said agent two as she straightened her suit a bit. Even though she was out with her partner when this girl was recruited into D.H.O.R.K.S., she heard everything about her from a friend. Truth be told, the girl creeped her out a bit with her seemingly natural blue hair and those weird pupils of hers. Not to mention how her voice echoed when she was so close to her. Regardless, she was a member of D.H.O.R.K.S. and she was going to treat the weird chick with some manner of respect. Especially since she seemed to have done all their laundry without much complaint. "I was just walking down the halls when I heard you're humming."

"Oh, did you like it?" Asked Gwen with a smile. As much as Agent two liked it and would love to strike a conversation with her, the agent really needed to get going.

"Listen, not to be rude, but I got to go. I need to get more ropes, metal bars, and maybe even a steel cage to keep the werewolf we caught contained." Said Agent Two. "Bloody thing just woke up and it's fighting its restraints. If we don't get more soon, that thing will get free and probably go kill us all." Upon hearing about a werewolf, Gwen blinked in surprise.

"A werewolf?" Asked Gwen. "That's amazing. How did you acquire such a thing?"

"Got lucky." Said Agent two as she went towards the exit. "Bloody thing was fighting a couple of demons, allowing us to nap it and those devils it was fighting. The bloody thing doesn't look like a typical werewolf, I'll say that. Got this weird piston stuff on its back and a metal claw prosthetic on its right hand." Upon hearing all that, Gwen widened her eyes in horror. They couldn't have captured her friend. Could they. As Agent two was leaving, Gwen left the laundry room to go find her friend. Knowing where the interrogation rooms were because of a tour she was given of the facility before her final interview, Gwen looked through them all until she found the one where the supposed werewolf was. Upon seeing it, she gasped out loud as Agent one and her new boss were injecting it with a large syringe filled with anesthetics. The werewolf thing tried to fight back but was slowly losing the fight because of the number of drugs they were pumping into it.

As it lost consciousness again, Gwen couldn't help but think of her friend, her only friend, being handled like a beast by her new boss.

"Warwick." Thought Gwen in sorrow as the now named Warwick lost consciousness.

Meanwhile

I.M.P. office

At the I.M.P. office, Crucian was looking at the empty office. He decided to check up on the Imps after they told Mortem about Rosie staying in a hotel in Imp city and he found them not spying on Rosie. This caused him to go to their office to demand why they weren't doing their assigned job and to see if whatever excuse they had will be sufficient enough to stay Mordekaiser's wrath. Needless to say, as he looked at the empty office, he could only think up one thing.

"They're all in so much trouble for this." Thought Crucian before he left the office to tell Mordekaiser of I.M.P.'s latest fuckup.

So how would people feel if I make Stolas lose to a fight between Warwick and Gwen? Or make them lose to Stolas but be saved by Mordekaiser at the last minute because Stolas would probably not let Warwick live for what he did to Blitzo while Mordekaiser would be interested in such a being for his armies, which will also probably lead to them fighting. What do you guys want? Also are there any other champs you guys want? I'm willing to hear people out if you guys want your favorite champ in this story and have a good enough reason to add them in.
