Helluva Nightmare.

Chapter 1: The lost pop star.

Roaming above the cold night in the lustful ring of the nine circles of hell, we change our point of view toward a small yet luxurious apartment where an young succubus with some bubble gum colored ponytail hair, was sitting and singing a lullaby for a little girl on her lap.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

How I wonder what you are.

Up above, the world so high.

Like a diamond in the sky.

Playfully tickling the child belly and happily eliciting a few giggles from her, the matriarch succubus then patiently waited for her infant to calm, and continue where she stopped.

When the blazing sun is gone.

When he nothing shine upon.

Then you show your little light.

Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Caressing the child cheek while tenderly staring at those beautiful pink orbs, that made her feel like the most precious thing in the entire universe, the mother still asked herself every time about much she got to deserve such a diamond in her life, especially in this cursed place.

Then the traveler in the dark.

Thank you for your little spark.

Has the child cutely yawned and leave itself fall in her mother arm, and be pated on the head by said mother who continued to sing with a beautiful smile that could almost be compared with an famous portrait of a women that I would not say the name, because everyone should at least know that I just put the most obvious easter egg there.

He could not see which way to go.

If you did not twinkle s-

*BAM*

Frightened by the loud commotion coming from the other side of the room, the child immediately tenses up in terror when the common sound of heavy foot step walked toward them.

?: "AMANDA!"

Brought out from her sleep with a loud gasp and an enormous amount of sweat dripping from her body that stained the already dirty old mattress that she was laying on. Verosika, a pink succubus with long smooth bubblegum white hair and two different size curved horns, was once again having one of those nightmares that she despises so much…at least much more than her newly ex-boyfriend Blitz, who stole her car and credit card one night and recklessly drive around the wrath ring to spend all of her saving, in some stupid riding horse lesson.

Having at first bashed his 'boyfriend' head on a nearby fence to properly send the message that there were definitely breaking up this time, she after that proceed to retrieve her vehicle and drive her dirty broken car toward the lust ring, to found the first decent bar that will be able to fuck her brain up in alcohol, sex, and any kind of drug that she will be able to buy with the last remain of cash she got on her, just so that she could drown and forget her sorrow for at least a moment…moment that didn't last, since the next day of her marathon of debauchery, she was cast out by the landlord of her luxurious apartment due to the multiple late rent that Blitzo have completely forgotten to pay. Having being out in the street for only consolation the collection of vinyl that she manage to grab, with the cloth on her back accompanied with an broken heart and empty bank account for a month now, she still manage to at least pull herself up by making some money has a singer in a few shitty bar or by popping up the cherry of a few asshole here and there, to finally buy herself a 'decent' apartment in a part of the pride ring that was calm enough, so that it didn't required to be 24/7 fully equipped in armor just to go at the nearest food store. Quickly giving a look at the clock loosely hanging on the wall and see that it was 7AM, she loudly sighed before moving out from her bed with an Hercules effort, that was follow up with a painful walk toward the bathroom while removing on the way her underwear to take a good hot shower.

Verosika: "Hello pride ring…ready to give me another shitty day" she sarcastically replied to the scotched calendar representing the image of the reddish chaotic landscape that was the pride ring.

Entering the shower to turning on the handle that leaved the water flow over the multiple string of hair that helped the liquid leak over her body and wash the staining smell of sweat coating her skin, Verosika (without taking notice) slowly closed her eyes at the relaxing sound of splashing droplet echoing over the cracked floor, that was soon be accompanied with the ever growing pleasant heat enveloping the room into a foggy cloud of steam that- "I love you" eyes snap open at the rethought of this fatidic night passed inside this rich Motel with Blitz, she angrily clenched her teeth before turning the handle off and snatch 2 towel hanging on the broken sink, "Fuck you…", wrapping the first towel around her body and the second one around her hair with anger fuming at each step she took to march in the direction of her bedroom while kicking on the way a coffee table to vape out a little, she then headed toward a mural closet stocking the few set of cloth she got, to go on simplest set of cloth composed of an torn up white/gray slim jean, a pair of pink/white long converse with an compressed black tank top that leaved a small diamon shape hole between her breast…I mean, she's still a succubus after all, being seductive even in an normal attire was a part of her being and job. Putting her tank top and jean first and finish up by tying her shoes, Verosika, who now was standing in front of her entrance door with an determined look in her eyes, was fully prepare to face another day in hell.

*GGGGGRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLL*

But not with an empty stomach.

Coming out from a local store with two plastic bag full of frozen food and cheap beer, Verosika who was grumbly munching on a 'borrowed' croissant discretely taken from an imp Karen complaining about the price of the multiple articles that this store was selling for an hour straight, she then took a quick swing of the beer she was holding in her other hand before tossing it aside after gulping the last drop, guess the breakup have made her an alcoholic, welp one problem at a time I guess, "First I become a mega popstar, then I will work on my addiction problem".

Verosika: "Stupid bitch, good thing that this hellhound whooped her ass" gulping the remaining taste of snack and beer stick on her pallet, she annoyingly frowned at the two remaining soullar and penny stocked inside her poor wallet, "Fuck my life" she swore before showing it back into the-.

*Woosh*

?: "Thanks again slut!" happily cried a hooded rabbit red sinner with the wallet of Verosika in his hand.

Shoved aside by this thief, the young succubus who was just about to scream and run after this guy to teach him a lesson, immediately abandoned the idea after seeing that he was already far away, "Bah, a few bucks his not worth the effort, plus I got a performance for tonight so I should be refuel in no time" standing up to wipe out the dirt on her ass and resume her way back at her apartment with the two groceries bag lazily hang in both hand at each passing hours, she decided to take a quick pause on an nearby bench to wipe out the accumulated sweat pouring down from her forehead and at the same time pop out another beer for the heat that was slowly going up with the few stray of light following the pentagram above, "Man, all this for a fucking breakfast…" she thought while taking a small sip and let out an satisfying groan at the freshly beverage sliding in her throat, "Fucking Blitzo, when I'm finally done with the shit that you put myself in, I will-" cut-off from the numerous fantasies of torture session that she was thinking for her ex-boyfriend. A wet and squishy sound dripping from her two bags, made Verosika rapidly put her bag down and constate to her fright that the multiple groceries that she has just bought for the day, have been completely crushed or break to a point where it was starting to create a disgusting paste of food together, "Fuck! Must be because of that bastard earlier" putting a finger into the paste to taste it and pray that it was at least comestible, she immediately spited out at the spongy and bitter texture, "Lucifer fucking dammit!" mentally screaming while feeling a twitch from a vein threatening to pop out at any moment, she then furiously kicked her now ruined food and beer aside-.

Verosika: "HAAAA! FUCK!" loudly screaming in pain before falling on her ass to clutch at her leg, the succubus then saw to her horror the numerous glass shard stuck in her left tibia, "Forgot about the bottle…GNNN dammit that freaking hurt!" wiping the tear of forming between the corner of her eyes while trying to overcome the pain to retract her leg and grab the biggest shard, she took a few breath of preparation at the following action that she was about to do "On 3…1…2…3" rapidly pulling the first glass that only leaved a few droplet of blood drip on her jean, she slightly wimped before tossing the remain aside and continue again with the rest.

Minute passed before the last shard was finally pulled by the succubus, who after that took a nearby rag that was clean enough to be used has a makeshift bandage. Wound cover with the blood loss stopped, Verosika then shakily stood up and limply walk at an nearby bench and take a breather for what had just happen…Breather that didn't last long since she was suddenly drenched in some oily water caused by a truck speeding on puddle. Hungry, dirty, and without any money (or wallet) on her, Verosika was just about to explode and lash out at anything alive or non-alive around, to only drop on her knee and start to silently burst into tear at the pressure that those numerous harsh weeks have giving her, "I'm so tired…I just want one good thing for today…just one good fucking thing" has a gush of wind suddenly brushed a piece of news-paper into the face of the crying succubus, she then took the news-paper off her face to crush it into a ball and randomly throw in a random direction, were it landed beside a table full of strange item. Attention grabbed by the unwatched goods leaved on display, she sniffed a little before wiping out her tear and ruined makeup and curiously walk to take a look at the multiple artefacts, statue, necklace and other exotic stuff that were either to fuck up to understand nor too damage to put a form or an utility at them, "the hell his that?" she thought before taking notice at an sign board place aside.

Hello citizen of hell.

It is I, Master Obnoxious owner of the exotic shop 'Le clin d'oeil', have the infortune to inform you that our estimate establishment will soon be closed and moved elsewhere in the pride ring, and by doing that I can't unfortunately not bring all the most pleasurable nor strangest item with me…to put it simply you bunch of morons, just take whatever you want, and leave nothing for my wife.

Bisous.

Welp that's convenient, guess someone actually listened to her pleas after all. Humming in interest over the item standing in front of her, the succubus then nonchalantly shrugged before proceeding to snatch every object that seemed valuable, "Guy said to don't leave anything for her wife, guess I'm making the favor for him" having started with the smallest one like the necklace, small statue and stone that seemed to slightly bright on the touch, she then moved on the biggest one by grabbing first a strange golden halo incurved with sapphire, and continue on some sort of red and black BDSM suit were the name ' ' was marked on the torso, "Should be good, hope I can make a few bucks with those thing".

?: "Make us whole…"

Dropping the suit and halo at the sudden voice whispering in her head, the lustful demon frantically looked around to found the source of this strange voice, until her eyes lay upon a strange double-helix miniature obelisk carved with some alien inscription all over. Titling her head while eyeing the artefact left and right, Verosika couldn't but stop to feel an unease yet fascinating energy emanate from this strange thing, "Meh, could still use it has a dildo" she shrugged before extending a hand to grab it. Has her skin barely touched the surface of the statue, she immediately recoiled in pain after feeling one of the surfaces slightly leave a small cut of her fingers.

Verosika: "Ouch…" sucking on the small cut to prevent it to bleed out even more, her eyes then drifted back to the statue with contempt look, "Little son of a bi-".

*WHOOOOOSSSSHHHH*

Blinded by a powerful beam of reddish light going up into the sky, Verosika who have instinctively closed and putted her hand in front of her eyes to protect them, slightly squinted them to see that the little statue was the source of all of this.

?: "Make us whole…" whispered the same voice into the succubus head, a little bit louder and demanding than earlier, "Make us whole Verosika…".

Mouth slightly hung open at the mention of her name by this strange voice, she was just about to ask who this was, until a strong burst of wind attracted her toward an rift slowly breaking up the reality just above the artefact. Her foot strongly planted before failing to stand her ground at the ever-growing attraction sucking her little by little, Verosika then desperately tugged her claw on the ground.

Verosika: "SOMEONE HELP!" she cried, finger slowly losing his grip over the small pedestrian crossing plate, "PLEASE ANYONE! SAVE M-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!"

Has the succubus faded inside the breach who closed after that, the monolith who momentarily hummed for a moment, brutally started to distort and explode with a sound of horrified scream over the spilled blood of the host that they dimed perfect to corrupt.

He didn't know how many times have passed since the crash of their ship nor the invasion, weeks? Months? Maybe years? How could he guess now since the time itself was barely distinct among the wall of this forsaken bunker that Isaac Clark, last member of the rescuing team of the Ishimura, could call home. Clad in his usual engineering suits just in case that something important could potentially happen today, he was really glad that him and Jhon were able to found one of those suits inside this old engineering complex, not only that it was an suit that was extremely polyvalent and properly equipped with an enormous amount of bag and pouch that could contain enough equipment to arm himself to the teeth, it also served him has some sort of souvenir that reminded him about the good old day…were everything was normal and simple, "More simpler than today at least" sipping on a cup of coffee while cautiously welding a small plate of steel on his helmet to cover up the small dent and claws mark scratching it, he then turned around to fiddled with an radio and radar installation to check upon the potential sign of life that was still lingering the planet…If there was still someone alive out there.

Isaac: "*Sigh* Christ…" Finishing on the last welding detail, he then turned his blowtorch off before leaving itself lean against his chair with his eyes closed to appreciate the silence and 'meditate' over the occurring shit that had happen, "Almost got blown up during the crash, got eaten alive by a necromorph bear before being take out from his belly by John, discover that we are the last remaining human in this region that isn't a complete lunatic and maybe the world, got my plasma cutter being molten by a puker…"

?: "And don't forget about that damn brethren moons looming over us"

Isaac: "That too" turning around to greet his last and probably only remaining friend Jhon with a smile, he slightly nodded his head to salute him, "Good sleep?"

Jhon: "Nightmare" he responded with a tone that could say that he was used to this kind of thing, "Anything?" he asked, readjusting his red boxer while heading toward the fridge to take out a can of milk with a box of cereal.

Isaac: "Dead…Has always" he sadly replied before taking another sip from his cup, "To be honest, I have a massive guest that we might be the last living thing on earth now"

Sitting on a couch to pop the lid and pour the synthetic milk into a bowl where his cereal was already awaiting him, Jhon then mixed the thing before taking a spoon and go for a first bite.

Jhon: "You take your time Sherlock, guess the case his solve then" he jokingly replied making his friend softly laugh at the grim joke, "But more seriously I…didn't wanted to break your hope so …"

Has his already sour mood dropped even more at the possibilities that his friend was suggesting, Isaac couldn't but actually accept that he and him, were probably the last specimen of a species that hasn't been completely eradicated by a true living nightmare than most couldn't even comprehend, resist it, or barely fight it back.

Isaac: "Yeah…But you know me now, I'm an entitled man" he chuckles before finishing his coffee and walk toward the dishwasher to put the mug inside, "Beside…I think Nicole would want me to keep trying".

Jhon: "You still thinking about her" he asked, despite the fact that he already knew the answer.

Isaac: "Everyday…Everyday"

While the ex-soldier watched his friend go back on his desk to check upon the radar and his other gadget, Jhon could only munch silently with an frown of concern about the mental state of Isaac during those last few weeks…Or maybe it was month…Or year, "Gosh, we really need to found a new functioning computer…or maybe a watch" since the fall of humanity, at least that's how he personally called the arrival of the brethren moons on earth, Isaac have lately been more depressive and distant about everything around…Even him despite that he was hardly trying to hide it, "Fuck, how am I supposed to help him, I'm a soldier not a psychiatrist" angrily gulping the last cereal sticking around the border of his bowl has a way to take out his frustration from his incompetence, he then pushed himself up from the couch to follow the same example than Isaac and move in the direction of his quarter to prepare himself for another day of horror, "I really wish something good happen for today, could be a change of pace for the both of us".

Fully cloth and equipped with his red special force suits and a double barrel shotgun that he have found under the counter of a bar a few weeks prior, he just could not keep the thing away from now on since that it have save him multiple time from a few close call, but also due to the numerous modification that Isaac have put on it, that it could almost make this old antiquity a pure sci-fi like shotgun capable to put most of their modern weaponry into shame, also the ammunition could easily be found and crafted so it's a win-win in his repertoire, "Wonder if Isaac could make the thing more lighter?" entering back into the living room, slash kitchen, slash workshop and slash laundry room, Jhon was slightly surprise to see his companion frantically run around to grab his equipment with a face of pure joy yet fear at the same time.

Jhon: "Woah!" he expresses while dodging the engineer who almost bumped into him, "Jeez, are you alright Isaac? You look like a kid who just saw Santa"

Isaac: "I'm great! Extremely great even! But we must move now!" he cried while looking inside the multiple drawers placed up and down from his crafting table, "Where did I put those damn cutter battery?!"

Jhon: "Hey, slow down man" putting a hand on his shoulder to calm his buddy, he then handed him the battery that he was looking for, "You leaved them in your room- But can you explain to me what's happening now?"

Battery snath from Jhon hand, Isaac immediately used it to reload his newly crafted plasma cutter holstered around his waist, he then rapidly jogged toward his helmet to place it on his head and leave the mechanism strap itself from the rest of the suit.

Isaac: "The radar detected something not too far away from us" voice almost muffle by the helmet covering his head, a low hum followed with a loud pressurized hiss pitched up at the activating intern system inside.

Jhon: "Wait…You mean that-"

Isaac: "There still someone alive out there" he finished his friend question first, making him widen his eyes in shock.

Jhon: "Go in the truck, I'll get the key".

Maybe something good will finally happen today.

Pain was the first thing that Verosika felt when she slowly felt herself regain consciousness at the sudden…Thing that have happen.

Verosika: "Uuuugggggghhhh" standing on her four while massaging her head, she could already feel the multiple ache stretching the fiber of her already sore muscle that-, "*URKCH*" mouth cover with her hand at the nauseous sensation building up inside her stomach, she quickly scrambles toward a nearby bin in order to puke out the alcohol and few remain of food that she just got from this morning, "Fuck-*URKCH*" Vomiting a second and third time before spitting out the remain of bile staining her tongue, she weakly pushed the bin aside to fully stand up and finally take a look at the surrounding, "What in the flying fuck?".

Stood in the middle of what could be appear to be some sort of small store fill with an numerous amount of abandoned shelf full of old dusting product, going through to the various canned food, and the other…most advanced shit that the lustful demon has ever saw, "Where am I?" marching toward a shelf to grab a can of soda and take a look at the product slogan, her brow slightly frowned in confusion after seeing that it wasn't a thing made in hell, "Sun Cola?...am I on earth?" she mentally questioned, no demon would ever name his product after the first thing that the old fart above created. Putting the soda back at his place and walk toward the exit while avoiding the multiple scattered food or thrash around, the succubus who arrived in front of the dirty cracked glass door, grabbed the brass handle to open it and-.

*CLANG*

Spinning around at the sudden sound of metal clattering against the tiled dirty floor of the place, Verosika then slightly gasped in fear at a sudden shadowy figure jumped between the many shelf lingering the place to finally land on a corridor too observe the succubus with his green bright orb for eyes, and slowly approach her with an discrete yet powerful step, that bring such an imposing presence that the only thing the young woman could do is fearfully press her back against the door while nervously sweating and tremble with her eyes close at the monster aproachi-.

?: "*Meow*…"

Eyes widely snaped open to dumbfoundedly look at a white cat affectionally rub his head at the succubus right leg, she would have found the gesture very cute if she hasn't been scared from the little dude earlier.

Verosika: "Christ on a stick" she breathed in relief before kneeling down to gently caress the small animal, "I almost soiled my pant because of you, little motherfucker" she affectionally cooed, trying her best to not squeal at the purring sound that the cat was making at each caress.

?: "*Meow*"

Has if the loud whisper of liberty screamed for him, the cat softly stood on his (cute) little paw to gracefully jump on a cashier counter, give one last look at Verosika, and jump inside a broken vent tube to continue his solitary adventure in this world, that the young women was now sure that it was the mortal realm, no animal like that will be able to survive the hot and harsh climate of hell…maybe in the pride ring- but anyway, it was not the time to ponder on some stupid question.

Verosika: "Not the type to be attach, huh" she talked to the vent were the little feline got away, "Yeah, your damn right" she sadly smiled before turning back toward the door and open it to explore the outside world.

Forcefully pushing the rusted door with her shoulder that leaved a loud creaking sound echo in the empty street of what appears to be a small rural town cover in a brown and yellow fog that was awfully smelling like an ending afternoon of a extermination day, Verosika, who was closing the store door behind, carefully walked the stair Infront of her to wander around the empty street of…whatever that town was named, with a hand over her nose to slightly overcast the bad smell that seemed to become even more worst at each passing building and abandoned futurist car lingering the road, "Since when the human have those kind of car?" she questioned while admiring one of those grey sci-fi vehicle before resuming her walk that randomly leaded her to a small news-paper kiosk that seemed to have seen better day, if the disregarded news and trace of blood on the side was an indication to take on.

Verosika: "The hell happen here?" she asked out loud, voice muffled by her hand.

Taking a look on the counter to find a few disregarded human bill and coin around, her interest was more taken on what appear to be a half red mask respirator that she quickly snatched and placed on her face to finally breath without smelling this horrible odor every second, she then grabbed a new-paper that was clean enough to read the actuality of today.

Earth Government Colonial Alliance News.

November 23th, 2516.

Verosika: "WHAT?!" doing a double check on what she was reading, the succubus, who was left speechless, didn't how to process his, "But-but- what?! How?!- It must be a joke-YES! It's just a prank created by this dickhead of Blitzo, that's it!" crunching angrily the piece of paper in her hand to toss it over her shoulder, she then smugly crossed her arm while looking around, "Okay! Jokes over now, I know you are behind all of this Blitzo! Ha ha very funny, now cut it out and come out…" standing still for a few minutes, a little drop of sweat slowly started to drip down from her forehead at the uncomfortable silence and wind whistling between the abandoned street, "BLITZO! I SWEAR TO FUCKING MAMMON THAT IF YOU DON'T COME OUT! I WILL CUT OFF YOUR DICK AND SHOVE UP SO FAR UP YOUR ASS THAT YOU-!"

*STOMP*

Turning around at the loud stomp resonating behind her, she almost screamed in fright at the monstrous deformed humanoid creature painfully crawling on the ground while using some sort of bone like claws sprouting from the palm of his hand.

?: "Haaaaaa…HAAAA…Haaa" desperately pleaded the monster while weakly trying to strike the succubus who easily side step the attack with a laugh.

Verosika: "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Okay, I have saw a lot of bad costume in my life, but that's just take the cake now! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" walking over the fake monster while kicking him in the chin for trying to stab her again, she then slightly crouched beside to grab his head in both hands, "Alright Blitzo, let me see that stupid face of yours so I can properly beat you up" eyes closed while strongly griping on the side of the mask, she was momentarily confused that the costume didn't-

*CRACK*CRUNCH*

Balance lost at the sudden loss of grip from the mask that she manages to take it off, the young women then slowly opened her eyes…to actually see that she just tore off the entire head of the creature.

?/Verosika: "HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" they both shrieked at the same time, with the exception that one was screaming in pain while the other in fear, "WHAT THE FUCK!" Verosika panickily cried before accidently throw the still screaming head away in an nearby street.

Shocked beyond her core while looking at her hand cover by in some sort of sluggish red and brown blood dripping down her finger, Verosika didn't get a moment to register what just happen when another creature, who seemed to be much more aggressive and in much a 'better' shape than the other one, suddenly fast walked from the fog.

?: "RHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!" roared the monster before lurching itself toward the succubus.

Verosika: "Ho crap!" with her instinct taking over her body, the young demon clumsily rolled aside at the last moment to avoid the pair of bony blades that almost impaled her head. Grabbing a discarded wooden plank to stood up with it and hold it like baseball bat, she bravely stood her ground with an afraid yet prepared expression.

?: "GGGRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Dodging down a savage left swing that cut off a few strings of her pinkish hair, she dashed aside to avoid the second arm of the monster and-.

Verosika: "HYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAA!" loudly roar to the top of her lung and brutally swing her improvised baseball bat at one of the creature blades, who immediately shattered upon the impact just like her makeshift club, it still wasn't enough for creature to be stop nor stunt so that it couldn't come back at the charge by grabbing our young demoness with the second pair of arms sprouting out of his dangling intestine, "Ha! Get of me!" she screamed while desperately struggling to push his attacker, who suddenly opened his mouth and-, "GHAAAAAAAA!" savagely bite on the little and ring finger of the succubus, "You motherfucker!" rushed by a surge of adrenaline that brought enough strength for Verosika to yank out her hand and uppercut him hard enough to send it fly a few meter away, she watched with horror at the now two missing finger on her left bleeding hand, "GRRRRR!" stomping her way toward the dazed creature laying on the ground, and tear off a nearby traffic sign in the way with some murderous intention in her fiery pinkish eyes, she menacingly lifted the panel high above her head and-, "*Bonk*" smash the creature head, "Go *Bonk* Fuck *Bonk* Yourself *Bonk* You *Bonk* Fucking *Bonk* Piece of *Bonk* SHIIIIIIIITTTTT! *Bonk*Bonk*Bonk*Bonk*Bonk*Bonk*" hammering the monster for a few good minute before harshly catch her breath, she then spitted over the mashed cadaver who's head was lifelessly dangling left and right from the few remaining string of nerve attach connected to the spine, "Go to hell!" letting the panel fall from her grasp, she painfully clutched and winced at the state of her injured hand, "Shit…now I can't get married" she though with a dark chuckle and cry at the grim joke that slightly made her feel better…if only momentarily.

?: "RRRRRHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Sighing exasperatly at the roaring sound behind her, Verosika who once again grabbed her 'weapon', turned around to face the next opposant who wanted a piece of her, "If they want this ass, then they better give me one helluva show" she bravely though before taking a stance that immediately deflected with the courage at the incoming horde slowly emerging from the fog.

Verosika: "…Nope" disregarding her makeshift clud while sprinting for her life in the opposite direction, she really gave a hard though on how much of a stupid bitch she can be sometime, "They better give me one helluva show, you and your big mouth Verosika" the succubus mentally mocked herself before taking a hot turn and jump over a wooden fence.

Hardly climbing the barrier due to the pain caused by the two-missing finger and multiple injuries that made the whole effort even worst, the sudden sound of groan and numerous running footstep surely did gave a help for the demon to push herself over her limit that, in another rush of adrenaline, made her push on her arm to tilt her torso over the barrier and fall on her feet and continue to run between the tight street of the neighborhood, while taking every few minute a quick turn every now and then when one of those monster tried to jump on her from above or by coming out of the sewer, "Hofuckhofuckhofuckhofuckhofuckhofuckhofuckhofuckhofuckhofuck" jumping above an half destroyed fence while kicking away a door leading inside an old restaurant, she then quickly close it behind while at the same time put 2 or 3 table to barricade it and finally catch her breath at this intense session of cardio-.

?: "Gggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…"

Slowly bringing her head up to see 3 dog like rotten fleshy spider growl at her with the remain of a decomposed devoured human body behind them, she nervously putted her hand in front of her has a sign of piece.

Verosika: "Calm now boys…I know your all-good boy-HOLLY SHIT!" diving aside at the first dog lurching toward her, only to fail and impale itself on the leg of a broken chair, she rapidly scrambles on her four to run under a pile of table, but couldn't done it in time since she wasn't fast enough for the other two animal to grab with their jaw and tentacle the shoes of the succubus, who turned on her back to kick away the two mastiff dragging her, "Get your filthy jaw of my shoes, you disgusting mutt!" damn, I hope it wasn't racist against the hellhound…anyway back to the story. Managing to free her left leg and kick away the first dog while doing the same with the second one, she then crawled on the ground to grab (by accident) a nearby femur that she used has a way to keep those rabid animals at bay, "Back off!" she screamed while widely swinging the bony truncheon around to stave off the beast…beast that seemed to suddenly calm down and look with interest at bone that Verosika was holding. Confused by this sudden turn of situation, the young succubus carefully shook the bone in front of the monster and confirm to her small amusement that they actually wanted what she was holding if the wag of their tail was a confirmation, "Ho you want this?" she playfully yet fearfully taunts them, receiving in return a positive distorted bark from the 2 dogs, "Welp, go and fetch it!" tossing the bone at an open window and make the two canine joyfully bark at the flying object while jumping outside, Verosika then rapidly took this opportunity to get up and run in the kitchen restaurant to leave the building via the emergency door that she strongly shut behind, "Fuck" she whispered while hyperventilating in her mask at what just happened, "Got really lucky this tim-ha fuck me" having thanked her good star for a moment, she immediately taken back all her word after having turn around to see a pack of those humanoid monster stand in front of her.

?: "RRRRRRHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA!"

Sprinting once again from her new pursuer, the chased was then follow up by a series of multiple turn, jump and sometime effraction in other building were more of those creatures were taking residence, for at least a few hours. Defenestrating herself through a window of an old bricked building and discover that some of those things were coming in different shape and size that made them faster, dangerous, or-.

*BOOM*

?: "WWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA!"

Destructive, the succubus quickly pushed on her leg while looking at the corner of her eyes during her run with a look of pure horror and terror at the giant slab of rotten meat breaking down the wall of the building she just escaped from. Breath becoming even more raged accompanied with her muscle becoming more tired over the excessive effort endured, the eyes of the succubus suddenly lighted up in hope at the view of a dense forest just outside of the city, "Okay Verosika, you can do this" forcing on her burning leg to take a last turn and join the main road of the city, which seemed to be a bad idea at the first view, it turned out to be an excellent initiative since by doing so, most of the monster (especially the big one) couldn't rapidly take the turn, resulting by clumsily make them slide on the ground and pile on one another or in the better case for the demoness, impaled or be crushed at one another with their own claw or weight. It also slightly slowed them down by the tight way caused by the numerous car that barely gave an access for the remaining monster, for only exception of a few who just jumped on top of the car roof, "Dammit, they don't know how to give up for fuck's sake" easily passing between the labyrinth of vehicle due to the advantage of her small frame, she finally manages to arrive at the exit of the city, but was forced to hop over the road at the view of a barricade blocking down the road. Rolling on the ground to attenuate the fall while wince in pain at the injurie on her hand and leg before refocusing back at the current situation and run inside the dense forest with the hope to sow her pursuer and maybe find some help, she really hoped to damn Satan itself that 911 existed in the human realm, and that it can be easily summoned. Pushing a few branches and bush aside to made her way in this environment, she momentarily took a break by taking off her mask and vomit on the ground the excessive effort she just made since the biggening of this chase, "Shouldn't have skip cardio in college" coughing a few times while spitting out the few strings of saliva dripping from her lips, the succubus then putted her mask back on before continuing her way to-

Verosika: "Shit!" losing her foot due to a small puddle of mud that made the demon slip and fall on the side, Verosika then to her discontent and pain, rolled down a hill to crash in a pond fill with oil, blood and dead body, "*GASP* *Cough*Cough* Raahh *Cough*" head out of the nauseous murky water while rapidly swim out of the pond and disregard her now ruined mask, "Here I thought that this day couldn't be any fucking worst" has fate came to answer her rhetorical question with a loud roar follow up with multiple owl that made their presence known in the distance, she then slumbered her shoulder, "Go fuck yourself destiny".

Frantically looking in every direction over the cacophony of roar surrounding her, she was barely able to register and dodge the monstrosities suddenly lurching an attack from a bush, which resulted by a successful deep cut on the left succubus eye.

?: "RRRRHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA!" victoriously roared the monster who was then violently sent away by a spartan kick from the succubus.

Verosika: "HA! Son of a b- FUCK!" screaming in agony at her new wound, she almost panicked when she couldn't saw anything before quickly breath in relief after seeing that it was just her own blood blinding her left vision. Focus back on what's in front, she was then pinned down on her stomach when a…baby monster with tentacle sprouting from his back, jumped from behind and savagely scratch her back and bite at her neck with enough force to draw blood, "GAAAAAHHH! Get off! Get off!" frantically moving around in a desperate manner to remove the creature, she finally manages to get a hold on one of the tentacles to yanked out the thing and spin around to take enough impulse to throw the little rotten infant in the pond where she just felled in, "Good riddance" she venomously replied with a smile at the drowning creature.

Feeling her world spin so much around that she could only fall with a weak breath against the roots of a death oak standing beside with her breath slowing down and strength fading from the important blood loss, the young women who desperately tried to move her leg or any part of her being, could only fail and bitterly laugh at such a desperate move, "It's the end" she grimly though with a silent laugh and sleepy eyes, "I'm going to die here" while such a way of thinking wanted to be crushed out by the more resilient part of the demoness, she could only sunk deeper in desperation when three blurry figure, that could easily be recognize has the monster, walked out of their hiding spot to crudely walk toward the dying succubus, "Shit…to tell that I won't have the chance to be a mega popstar over those looser in hell…Shame" Not wanting to see what's coming next, she peacefully closed her eyes and let herself comfortably fall against the tree that will probably be her tomb, "Still, I just wished to make you proud mom…" falling unconscious has the same time that a creature walked in front of her to lift up his bone blade and get the kill.

*BLAM*

A sudden detonation echoed like vibrant sound of thunder that made the necromorph close to the women explode like a gory pinata and make the other two so confused, that they didn't even register the moment where they were swiftly taken down by a silent rain of precise plasma shot, cutting through their limb like a hot knife passing through a butt of butter.

Isaac: "You could have waited for me" annoyingly remarked the engineer, before stomping his boot inside the torso of an injured slasher to finish him off, "We are a team now, remember".

Jhon: "Well 'partner', you should try to keep up then" he playfully retorted while reloading his smoking double barrel, "Because without little missy there would have been- what the hell?"

Eyes now focused on their…pink…injured stranger, they surely were not prepared that their new guest would be…not very human.

Isaac: "I…I…"

Jhon: "His that an alien?"

Isaac: "Huh…Maybe- I don't know"

Jhon: "What d'mean you don't know? Your supposed to be the alien expert!" he dramatically screamed.

Isaac: "Jhon, I may have fought the necromorph for a long time, but that doesn't mean that I know all of the fucking species in this god damn galaxy" he replied with exasperation.

Cut in their argument by a distant blood curling scream that made the two tenses up and point their weapon in all the direction, the both then looked at the injured creature before looking at one another with a definitive choice.

Isaac: "We will see what she is later, cover me" getting to work after seeing his friend nod in confirmation and crouch beside him, Isaac who by good reflex brought a few circular containers of medigel, pierced with his thumb the lid and spread the sticky fluorescent substance on the wound that he immediately covers up with a rag of bandage stocked in his other pocket.

Jhon: "Did you at least check her pulse? I don't want to be the downer but-"

Isaac: "She's alive, I can literally see her chest going up and down" he cut him off before using the last container of supplies on the laceration covering the woman back, "Okay, she should be stable now, but she still needs some proper treatment" he explained while putting an adhesive bandage on her left eye cut.

Jhon "Copy, I'll take the lead"

Leaving Isaac gently take the strange woman in a bridal style position before walking deeper in the forest to join their vehicle and carefully put their new unconscious guest on the back seat. The two survivor who were still shocked about this strange…yet good encounter, still didn't knew on how much their fortune will change for the better and most of all the worst.

*Angry yet happy squeaking suspicious noise* I made it! the story that i have been dying to publish for so long. A dead space crossover with helluva boss. HA! Didn't saw that coming, huh people?

No, more seriously, i was originally going to continue the next chapter of beyond hell, but when i replayed dead space and finished to platine the remake a few days ago, i could just not contain the multiple idea poping up in my head for such a storie, and so here it his (side note: why is anybody tried to crossover those two universe? I'm genuily curious).

Other thing before i go, this time i will surely continue on the next chapter of beyond hell (i know that some of you are pointing your bolter and lasgun at my face for such a delay) and then i will go back on this storie and follow up with the other one to keep up a little, also try to found and review the few easter egg that i putted here and there (migth be a hint for another crossover...maybe).

Anyway, have a good day/nigth, don't forget to review and leave a critics but don't flame up, see ya.
