Kimetsu no Yaiba: DOOM

by Bit-By-Bit Studio

After Samuel Hayden’s epic betrayal, the Doom Slayer is transported away and finds himself in the Taisho period. He later learns that demons have plaque the natural splendor of this odd, yet familiar world. His perpetual torment continues as he strides to eliminate the demons that prey on the innocents. Only this time, he won’t be doing it alone.

There was a flash and everything was painted in blue while traced in shadow. Shot out in the containment field, two electrical chains shot and wrapped around both of his wrist, holding him tightly. Bawling both hands to a fist he fights against the chains as they pull him up. Try as he might, the attempt was futile as they only tightened. Before he could struggle anymore, he paused and became alarmed as he heard metal clanking on metal.

Said clanking drew his attention up towards the bridge. A tall mechanoid stride slowly towards him with its head held high, clapping his mechanical hands together once it reached him. The man's eyes narrowed into slits as he watched his former acquaintance come closer.

"You've won - it's over. You stopped the invasion and closed the portal," Samuel said, standing before him but keeping a safe distance. He gave a quick glance before returning his gaze back down to the Slayer. "But it's come at a price - Argent, VEGA, this entire operation. You see, I've watched you work, come to understand your motivation." He continued talking. "You think the only way is to kill them all, nothing behind, and you may be right. But we can't just shut it all down. Without Argent Energy, it will be worse. I can't expect you to agree."

One mechanical hand raised. Violently it shook, telepathically snatching the artifact from the Slayer's grasp.

"But with this we can continue our work."

The Slayer's eyes narrowed more as he stared intently at Samuel, rage swelling inside of him.

Samuel continued. "I am not the villain of this story. I do what I do because there is no choice."

"Re-routing tether coordinates… Complete."

The computer system announced. The power supply to the energy field was fully restored and it began to dissipate. Samuel stood there proudly staring at the countdown on the teleporter.

"Our time is up." He looked down at the Slayer, seeing him still restrained, struggling to break free of his bonds as he spoke. "I can't kill you - but I won't have you standing in our way," Samuel declared. Shooting out from the handle a bright crimson blade, pulsing with unrefined energies of Hell, decorated carelessly with the arcane symbols of Hell itself. "Until we see each other again."

Samuel Hayden turned away, starting forward to the bridge with the Crucible, leaving the trapped Slayer alone, chained to the containment field. As Samuel disappeared behind the doors, the Slayer's world flashed from blue to white light and trace with shadow. Before said world faded in black.
