Review Responses:
Yami Luna Kitsune: Yeah, was very happy I remembered Jan Valentine's 'Viagra' comment in Hellsing Ultimate Abridged. 2 really does. Blitz. Yes, his TDF was chained up, but it is slightly more than just that. The ugly faces was a part of that meme, which is why they were ugly.
StrongGuy159: You'll see.
Bednarczykmiki: Yeah, they sure did. Want some popcorn?
Silvanium: Yep, want a poncho, we're in the splash zone.
Dktv9: Yeah… pretty much.
Kuro Okami Senpai: You want 2 to get doggy styled by a dog? Hmm… maybe for a one shot? Who wants that? Raise your hands… a little higher please?
Rejectedfish05: It goes.
Br2nd66: LOL, that's a funny way to say 'Gaara'.
Fenris Silverblood: … yes… I am confused, what about Marchosias?
Calderoneric758: We shall see.
Hellhammer: Yep.
Marshman101: Agent 2 is kinky and freaky. Moxxie in a dress is cute. Me too.
Gamelover41592: It goes deeper than you think.
MichaelTheFox: New art if you wanna take a look. It is real, and Naruto is keeping it.
Arashi Uzukaze: You want her to live… or die? Sort of confused. But yeah, she is a pastry.
Falcon800: Yep, and I love Hellsing Ultimate Abridged. It's why I gave Blitz Casull and Jackel.
Jebest4781: Yes and No, you'll see why.
Guest: …
ShadowBloodedge9396: Thank you, I was inspired by Gorillaz The Lost Chord's music video for Naruto's hallucinations and with the song's meaning, I thought it worked the best, same with… well, you'll see. Agent 2 wants that dog D. Yeah, it really has been a long while since Naruto or we have seen the shadow hound, and now it is spouting snake tail, horns and wings. Hmm…
StarDustDragonknight: (Nervous laugh) Wh-what? No, you don't say…
MisterWriter1994: Is that a bad thing? I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Animecollecter: It doesn't.
Ravage88atlas: Thank you, I did my best. Hopefully, this chapter follows up.
BMW Enthusiast: No… I don't think I'll look that up.
MEATBICYCLE: I hope this is the desired response. I did my best. When I googled DHORKS on the wiki it said they use guns and old weapons, so that's why I had guns.
Sniperbro1998: I hope you laugh at agent 2 again here. I really thought about it, but it could cause more issues for the cast, and her.
DaftMerc39: The Yautja would be gods in Wrath. Fuu won't lose them. Thanks, love the Music Video for The Lost Chord, and researched the meaning behind the lyrics, so I thought it worked perfectly, and I was looking for the best moment to FINALLY use it in this story. YES, FLCL! Maybe she does, maybe she doesn't, who's to say?
DireWolf1412: How would this end their friendship?
Nicholas: Maybe.
DevilsNeverCry: I see.
Reggad the Knife: Here, have some popcorn.
Ice: Cool.
Yenke: I'll look into it.
Blowstone: Yes. I love Gorillaz, and so does Naruto.
Rothar: We shall see.
OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR HELLUVA BOSS!

Chapter 104: Inferno and Blood
Pride Ring, Stella's Home…
Stella stood in the doorframe as she watched Stolas and Octavia putting Esther in her crib.
Stolas couldn't help but notice Esther's agitation, so he cleared his throat.
"~Close your eyes
Until the new day~"
Esther's face softened, her eyes becoming droopy from the gentleness of her father's singing voice.
"~Let the magic of Morpheus
Whisk you away~"
Esther felt a sense of familiarity and joined with Stolas, making her father's smile bigger as Esther's eyes closed.
"~To the stars in the heavens
Where dreams all come true~"
Stolas gently caressed Esther's cheek with Octavia kissing her sister's forehead.
"~High atop Mount Olympus
Zeus is watching over you~"
The father and daughter duo left the nursery with Stella.
"Dad… why did you pick that song in particular?" Octavia asked as Stella guided them out, due to their familiar visit being over. "It isn't about the stars, but Greek Mythology…"
Stolas chuckled.
"It was a cute little song from that Hercules Show Disney made after the movie." Stolas replied. "I remember watching it with you when you were tiny."
Octavia's eyes widened.
'That's why it sounded familiar.' Octavia thought as she and her father bid Stella Fairwell before they got in the car with Mr. Butler.
Octavia leaned into the car door as Mr. Butler drove them home.
'Hm… I wonder what Gaara and Riser are doing right now?' She thought, blushing slightly as she thought of the men in her life.
Human World…
Blood-soaked Naruto's fur as he knelt next to Shino and Gaara's bodies.
He felt so numb as his world seemed to turn gray as his focus was on his friends while his family began to snap out of their truth gas induced coma as the agents surrounded Naruto.
"PUT THEM BACK IN CHAINS, AND DON'T HURT THE DOGGY!" Agent 2 ordered. "PUT HIM IN CONFIMEMENT!" Drool edged out of her lips. "SO, I CAN INTEROGATE HIM!"
"Woah, Naruto, we need to go!" Moxxie shouted as he grabbed his son, but couldn't move his son.
"Naruto!" Blitz shouted, grabbing him as the agents began to encroach them.
"Shino…" Naruto mumbled as his eyes watered. "Gaara…"
He grabbed them with his hand, trying to make them stop pretending… but no such luck as he checked their pulses.
None.
Sound began to fade as Naruto stared at the floor while Blitz and Moxxie tried fighting off the agents that grabbed them, slapping cuffs on them.
"GET THE DOG!" One shouted as a big Agent grabbed Naruto's left wrist, putting it behind Naruto's back, grabbing his right arm.
Unable to cuff Naruto safely, the agent stepped in front, standing on Shino and Gaara's corpses.
Naruto's eyes snapped.
A thick pulse of magic shout outward from Naruto, shattering the light fixtures as the building shook.
"BLITZ!"
"MOX!"
"LET'S GO!"
The imps tried to flee as flashlights were turned on.
"YOU AREN'T… where is the dog?"
Blitz, Moxxie, and the Agents turned and looked around.
Naruto had… vanished?
"We need visuals! We need…"
The speaker was silenced, followed by a sickening crunch.
Everyone turned to look down the hall, their lights and eyes focusing at its end.
With the now dead speakers crushed head with its flesh, blood, bone, and brains coating his hand, was Naruto.
Now, standing close to eleven feet tall with longer arms and torso, Naruto's head was close to hitting the ceiling as his horns scrapped it.
The agents flinched as they heard a sinister hiss, Naruto's tail swaying as it laid eyes on them, the snake head baring its fangs, saliva dripping from its mouth.
Naruto's wings, once white and angelic, were now covered in black plumage.
And to top it off, magic infused blood was covering Naruto's stump, taking the form of a hand.
Naruto turned.
His eyes.
They were red.
The agents stammered as he snarled.
The dead agent he was holding was tossed, hitting several agents, momentarily blocking the light, and when the blockage was gone, Naruto was gone.
"WHERE THE FUCK IS HE!" a scared agent screamed as they backed up, not seeing Naruto clinging to the ceiling as his tail closed the gap with their neck.
*CHOMP*
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" the agent screamed before being hoisted upward, thrashed around before being smashed into the ground, their neck snapped and bursting open as venom popped like a zit, spreading outward.
"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" the agents screamed as they dropped their gear and ran, the flashlights giving more angles on the walls.
Blitz and Moxxie watched Naruto release his grip, flip midair, and land on all fours, perfectly perched like a gargoyle.
"Na… Narut…"
Moxxie was silenced as an ear destroying roar ripped itself from Naruto's throat.
Meanwhile…
"Oh, shit…" Riser said as Fuu drove.
"What?" Verosika asked, sitting in the back with her wife, Loona leaning forward.
"There is a massive spike of demonic magic…" Riser said with worry. "I hope nothing happened to anyone."
Verosika and Loona looked at each other.
Their family had a nasty history… Naruto recently lost an arm, so their concerns were THROUGH THE ROOF!
DHORK Agency…
*Primus: Frizzle Fry: Too Many Puppies*
Naruto ran on all fours, jumping, arm out, imploding the torso of a large Agent before swiping the feet out of another, his tail biting their torso, ripping out their organs before Naruto bit a female agents head off.
"~Too many puppies are being shot in the dark
Too many puppies are trained not to bark
At the sight of blood that must be spilled so that we may maintain our oil fields~"
Guns were fired, their bullets striking Naruto, making him stammer backwards… before the bullets were pushed out of his body while steam rose from the wounds as they healed.
"~Too many puppies
Too many puppies~"
Blitz and Moxxie grabbed the closest weapons, seeing no other way but to arm themselves to help Naruto and… protect themselves.
"~Too many puppies are taught to heal
Too many puppies are trained to kill
On the command of men wearing money belts that buy mistresses sleek animal pelts~"
Naruto grabbed two agents, smashing their heads into each other, making chunky salsa out of the blood and bone.
Blitz stabbed a smaller agent.
"I fucking hate Melee." He angrily shouted as Moxxie bludgeoned an agent's knee cap.
"SAME!" Moxxie shouted in agreement. "I want my GUNS!"
A lightbulb went off over the heads of the imps.
"~Too many puppies
Too many puppies
Too many pup-pup-pup-pup-pup-pup-puppies
Too many puppies~"
Agent 1 and 2 were sweating bullets as they were in the control room.
"How much longer?" Agent 2 asked as she took nervous glances toward the door as the building shook again.
"Just a… NOW!" 1 shouted as the screen pinged, he grabbed a flash drive. "Good, we have all of the evidence we need to prove to the government…"
"We are needed!" 2 exclaimed with happiness.
The building shook again, more gun shots and screaming was heard.
"We need to get out of here!" 2 mentioned as 1 pocketed the flash drive.
"~Peanut sat on a railroad track
His heart was all a flutter
Along came the train
Toot, toot, peanut butter~"
Naruto slashed the torso and throat open of another three agents, blood and viscera covering and soaking his fur as he continued to rampage.
Taking another all-fours charge, Naruto gored three more with his horns, throwing them off and through the walls as he grabbed another with his magic hand, slamming them into the ground, collapsing it falling through it.
"~Too many puppies with guns in their hands
Too many puppies in foreign lands
Are dressed up sharp in suits of green and placed upon the war machine~"
"WHERE ARE OUR GUNS!" Blitz shouted as he searched the armory, Moxxie fending off agents by himself, taking steps backward as they started to swarm him.
"SIR, THERE'S TO MANY!" Moxxie hollered.
Blitz looked around, and then smiled as he found Los Lobos, Casull, and Jackal.
"~Too many puppies are just like me
Too many puppies are afraid to see
The visions of the past brought to life again
Too many puppies, too many dead men~"
Agents 1 and 2 ran through the facility, doing their best to avoid the demons as their goal of proving their worth was more than their base, their comrades, and their lives.
…
Okay, maybe not that last one, but it was important.
"Good, we're clear…" 1 said as he gestured 2 follow him.
2 stared down the hall…
"Oh, yeah…" She said as she realized he had been talking to her.
Agent 1's eyes narrowed behind his glasses.
"You still want the dog demon?" he asked her, walking behind her.
"Well… yeah… wait, I mean…"
Agent 2 felt a foot embed itself in her stomach, knocking the air out of her, collapsing as 1 removed his foot.
"Since you love dogs…" he said before turning from his partner. "Stay here and become his chew toy."
He walked away, leaving 2 to fend for herself.
"W-w-wait…" She huffed, reaching out, but collapsed to her side as she was in pain.
Meanwhile…
"Sir, we should just let Naruto continue." Moxxie said, though he was genuinely concerned for his son's condition. "We should get Gaara and Shino's bodies out of here."
Blitz paused.
They had returned to the scene of the murder, sadly, the corpses were covered in blood.
"Yeah, you're right. Naruto wouldn't want them to get caught in the crossfire." Blitz said as he leaned down, grabbing Shino. "Come on, get the red-head."
Moxxie nodded and grabbed Gaara as another chilling roar from his son on the lower floor shook the building.
"Hey, found a window." Blitz said as he grabbed Jackal, using it to smash it open.
Reapplying their human disguises, Blitz and Moxxie with the corpses jumped from the third floor, landing on their faces as they heard a car pull up.
"Dad? Fatty?"
"I'M NOT FAT!" Moxxie hollered in anger as he shot up, but felt his heart leap into his throat when he saw Fuu get out of the car.
Blitz's asshole tightened so tightly that if Stolas was in him, his bird-dick would have been cut off.
"Where's Naruto? Gaara? Shino?" Fuu asked as she looked around, Leviathan and Nuada on her back.
"Oh… crumbs…" Moxxie said as his stomach became a DEEP pit.
"What?" Loona asked before her eyes widened as she realized who were with Blitz and Moxxie.
"Oh… no…" Riser said as he felt anger pulsate in his veins.
"Fuu… get in the car…" Verosika told the woman.
Fuu ignored Verosika's attempt to get her in the vehicle.
"Where is Shino and Gaara!" Fuu asked, more worried for Shino, and it showing in her tone.
Blitz and Moxxie looked at each other.
"Where are they! Where is Shino!" Fuu demanded, grabbing the male imps.
Sounds of something hitting the ground from falling from their arms, Fuu looked down, her orange eyes dilating as they shrank, dropping them both, and collapsing as she shook violently.
"Where is Naruto?" Loona asked Blitz as she and Verosika helped Blitz and Moxxie up.
"Inside… seeing this…" Blitz motioned with his eyes.
"Naruto transformed, he is rampaging inside, killing everyone." Moxxie explained.
Riser took a deep breath.
"Get everyone in the car, wait for my call incase of emergency or… if I can take care of it myself." Riser said with unsure confidence.
Inside the Building…
Blood, saliva, tears, and sweat covered Naruto's face as he heaved.
He sniffed the air, wanting to find agents 1 and 2.
It was their fault Shino and Gaara died.
It was their fault they were involved…
It was… Naruto's fault.
It was Naruto's fault that his friends were targeted.
It was all his fault, and now their blood was on his hands.
His hands trembled as his facial features softened.
His nose caught the scent of 1 and 2.
Growling, Naruto took off, barreling through any and all agents who he saw.
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" a now dead agent exclaimed as they went through the wall into the breakroom, striking the juke box.
*Blondies: One Way or Another*
Naruto growled as he smashed through a wall, seeing agent 2.
She gasped when she saw him, her love of dogs starting to overwhelm her desire to live as Naruto closed the distance.
His eyes roaming over her.
She was violently shaking until she steeled her reserves.
"Fuck it…" She threw her arms out, no defense. "GIVE ME A HUG AND A WARRIORS DEATH, YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD!"
Naruto backhanded Agent 2, breaking several bones from the strike and due to hitting the walls, hitting one of the important support beams.
Blood spurted from her wounds, but life was still within her.
"L-love… dogs…" She coughed out, a bright smile on her weather-beaten body before passing out.
Sniffing the air again, Naruto recentered himself on finding 1.
He ran through the remnants of the building, closing in on the entrance, skidding to a halt when he entered.
Agent 1 was gasping for air in the corner of the room, standing at the entrance was Riser.
"Naruto, snap out of it!" Riser shouted at his friend.
Naruto growled, starting to circle Riser, who followed his lead.
"You are better than this, Naruto!" Riser continued. "I know what happened, but this…" he gestured to the building and then Naruto's blood matted fur. "This isn't you!"
Naruto snapped at Riser.
Riser's face scrunched in annoyance.
"Fine, you leave me know choice…" he said, putting a blue tooth in his ear before he motioned his hands in front of him.
Naruto, sensing danger, lunged toward Riser, hands aiming to rip off his arms.
Flames erupted from Riser's back.
The flames spread out, taking humanoid shape before it condensed.
"Magician's…" Riser shouted as his feathers moving from the power of his magic. "RED!"
The flames took more detailed shape.
Magician's Red appears as a humanoid figure with a bird-like head. It has a muscular upper body and its feathered legs are sometimes covered in burning flames. Its arms have claws instead of nails and it wears dark bracelets on both of its wrists as it wore Arabian styled shoes.
A bird like cry rippled from its throat as it maneuvered itself to block Naruto's grab, dealing a swift kick upward to Naruto's chin, sending him backwards onto the floor.
"This… this is something I couldn't have done without you…" riser gasped as Magician's Red kept its guard up. "If you hadn't… shown me Stardust Crusader's, I wouldn't have decided to use this stand to compensate for my physical weaknesses in combat!"
Riser took a deep breath as Naruto got to his feet.
"NOW, COME BACK, NARUTO!" Riser screamed, hoping desperately to bring his friend back.
Naruto growled before he thrust his right hand forward, the magic-infused blood that made the false hand shot out like a serpentine whip, avoiding Magician's Red, grabbing Riser by the chest, and pulling him in.
Magician's Red guarded its owner when Naruto punched Riser, its flames burning Naruto's left hand to a crisp, his fur completely singed, claws melted, and the smell of burned flesh filling the air.
Not that it bothered Naruto as Riser hit the wall, gasping from his back rattling in pain.
'Shit…' He thought as he hit the ground, Magician's Red catching him before it began to fade slightly due to lack of concentration. 'That could have killed me if I didn't block it… even if it was feeble.'
Riser wasn't much of a fighter, but this was an important matter.
"Hey… Loona…" Riser coughed out as he pressed his blue tooth ear piece. "Yeah… sorry… I'm not enough… call…" He coughed a few times. "Call Stolas…"
"But you said…"
"I know… he'll understand!" Riser yelled before he used Magician's Red to grab the snake that attempted to bit him, pivoting to swing Naruto through the air and sending him down the hall, burned snake now being in the air with burned flesh.
Riser got to his feet, standing at the hall entrance, between Naruto and the entrance door as the berserker got up.
"I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor." Riser quoted Lord of the Rings as he forced himself to stay standing, Magician's Red behind him, standing tall. "The dark fire will not avail you, Flame of Udun!"
Naruto got up, his wings spreading as far as they could go as the snake hissed.
"Go back to the shadow." Riser continued, Magician's Red's fire beginning to get turned up in heat.
Naruto took a step forward, defying Riser's demand, intending to get past him to kill Agent 1.
"You Shall Not Pass!" Riser shouted as Magician's Red prepared to fight.
Naruto lunged, his wings beating with enough force to gore Riser with his horns, but Magician's Red blocking it enough to only cause flesh wounds.
"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" Riser repeated as he pivoted, Magician's Red shoulder throwing Naruto into the ground.
The force cracked the ground, sending both Riser and Naruto under ground into the sewers.
Magician's Red faded completely, leaving Riser unprotected as Naruto grabbed him, and began punching Riser as they fell.
However, Riser's healing kept him alive, slowly draining his magic reserves until, they hit the ground.
Sounds of sewage going through pipes and all that filled the air with the unpleasant smell.
Riser yelled in pain as his body healed itself with weaker healing flames.
This was by choice as he stood up, reforming Magician's Red as Naruto pushed himself up.
Naruto held out his current right hand, magic beginning to spin in his hand, blood from the false hand mixing into the Rasengan, giving it a red hue.
Riser saw this and Magician's Red prepared to attack.
'I don't have much experience using Magician's Red in battle, but,' Riser thought as Flames began to rise from Magician's Red's wrists. 'I can at least try this!'
Naruto lunged forward once more, thrusting his attack forward as Magician's Red's flames formed an Ankh.
"CROSS FIRE HURRICANE!" Riser shouted as Magician's Red arched its arms and swung them forward, sending the attack forward.
The Flaming Ankh and the Bloody Rasengan collided, a purple summoning spell appearing as the magic within the flames and spiral sphere erupted.
A bright light covered the entire room for the barest of moments as the rotation of the Rasengan spread the fire of the Ankh outward, setting the room on fire.
As smoke began to fill the room, Riser was gasping as he stared at the back of Stolas.
Before Stolas, was a perfectly petrified Naruto, caught in motion of his attack.
"Lor… Lord Stolas…" Riser coughed as Magician's Red once more faded.
He felt woozy.
Stolas caught Riser.
"Come on," He looked from Riser to the Statue of Naruto. "Let's go home."
Thirty Minutes Prior…
Two screams filled the air as new sinners plummeted to the ground of the Pride Ring.
They hit the ground, dust now hanging in the air, groans following it.
Two people approached them.
"Hey, Chomei, that one looks like you."
"Oh, Shukaku," Chomei replied with sarcasm intentionally irritating his friend. "That one looks like you."
"Fuck you, Chomei!"
Chapter 104, DONE!
Been watching the Hercule's tv show that was made in the late 90's recently, and there is a scene where Zeus and Hercules sing to Cereberus. That is the lullaby Stolas and Octavia sing to Esther.
Yikes, Naruto really did go over the deep end, not hard to see why, he did see his friends die in front of him.
Love Primus, if you are able to, definitely listen to the song.
I wanted to have a scene where Naruto pins someone to a juke box, and with each punch, it changes songs, but eh, would have been funny thought.
Yes, finally, got to show off Riser's new power: Magician's Red from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 3: Stardust Crusaders.
Yes, Riser quoted Gandalf, but it was more of a way to buy time to allow Stolas to get to Earth.
Man, Stolas straight up turned Naruto to STONE… eh, talk about being stoned, am I right?
…
I'll see myself out.
Hm, wonder who Shukaku and Chomei were talking about?
…
It's Gaara and Shino.
What else… Oh, new art posted, enjoy!
If you enjoyed the chapter, leave a review, even if you hated it because it helps me become a better author.
