Decay

"Holy Shit" Damon woke up, rubbing his head. Leroy looked down at him with a confused expression, "...Bro...your eyes-" Leroy was interrupted by Damon, who immediately shot up and looked in the reflection of a nearby car window, "What the fuck did he do?!" Damon screamed. His pupils now resembled a neverending spiral, "I-We-YOU!!! YOU BETTER HAVE AN EXPLANATION!!!" Damon yelled, stomping towards Nifty.

She simply giggled, "it's a gift from Alastor!!" She informed him. "Gift?! But it's not even Christmas!!" Damon yelled, "I'd like my old eyes back" he demanded. "Knowing Alastor, he probably ate it up already" Husk said, smoking a pipe nearby.

"Hey Big D, you received a gift from an Overlord...just accept it" Leroy pointed out.

"Ugh, fuhgeddaboudit!! What now?!" Damon asked. "Well...If you plan to meet with Aztech, you'll need backup...someone STRONG!!!" Stef explained, "and we know just the guy!!!" Nifty exclaimed.

"Nearly a millennium ago, there was a demon who simply goes by the name 'Decay', this was long before Alastor was even born!!!" Nifty said excitedly, "Decay was the instigator of the 'Pride Day Massacre', where he slaughtered hundreds upon hundreds of sinners and imps, even some Goetia Demons!!!" Nifty chuckled.

"So he's really old then, and he's incredibly powerful?" Stef asked, "then how come I've never heard of him?" She questioned.

"That asshole turned down the role of Overlord, claimed it's too much work and paints a target on his back...either way, the fucker may have been powerful five hundred years ago, but he's nothing compared to the Overlords in power nowadays" Husk stated.

"Decay is such a gentleman!! You'll like him" Nifty jumped up and down in excitement, "come on now!! We're wasting precious time" she dashed towards a nearby van, carefully picking the lock and unlocking it.

"What kinda place is this?" Leroy asked, peeking out of the window. They had parked in front of a large dark red building, "This is where the most classiest and important people in Hell hang out, all the Goethals and people like Zestial visit this place all the time" Stef explained, "I'd rather hang out at a regular bar, at least the people there don't pretend to be sophisticated fucking aristocrats" Husk growled.

Upon reaching the front door, a skinny man with a half burnt-off face blocked the main entrance, he must be the bouncer. "My Apologies, But y'all don't seem like VIP to me" The bouncer stated.

"We're friends with The Radio De-" "Guess What?" The bouncer interrupted, "I don't care!!! You can be friends with Lucifer himself, and you still won't be entering this door!!" He stated

".....so what should we do now?" Damon asked, Stef was ready to draw her bow but Leroy stopped her, "We can't be drawing attention to ourselves!! We've still got a mighty high bounty on our head" Leroy reminded.

"Let us in, ya strutz, I've killed guys who are bigger than you!!" Damon stepped forward. The bouncer looked at Damon, and upon making eye contact, the bouncer's expression changed to confusion and fatigue, "....Y-Yeah sure thing" The bouncer said, quickly getting out of their way.

"What was that?" Leroy asked. "...He must've been intimidated" Damon said with arrogance, strutting through the entrance.

"Now where's this 'Decay' guy?" Damon asked. "Hmmm" Nifty scanned the area, there were many intimidating and well-known demons in the building, "Holy shit!! There are celebrities in here" Leroy shook Stef, "Can you ask them to sign my sunglasses?" He asked her, "...N-No!!" She shoved his hands away, "What? Why not?! I'd do the same for you" Leroy stated. "..." Stef crossed her arms and looked away, "Fine" she muttered. Leroy immediately pulled her away, leaving Damon, Nifty and Husk on their own.

"Oh!! There he is!!" Nifty exclaimed, leading the way.

Damon's eyes widened in fear as they approached a table with a terrifying demon wearing a trench coat, he wore a straw hat and his eyes were bright red, he carried a large scythe and his face resembled a skeleton. "Um...you must be Decay..." Damon muttered, his voice shaking.

"....what?" The demon tilted his skeletal head in confusion, "my name's Joe" the demon stated.

"Wrong table pal" Husk pulled Damon away towards another table nearby.

Damon was left confused when he saw Decay, sitting in front of them was a small 3'5 figure, his body resembled a tiny white mushroom and he had a silly face, his hands and legs were also quite small, overall he was not what Damon expected.

"Nifty darling!!" Decay exclaimed in an innocent and cartoonish voice. "Hiya Mister Decay!!" Nifty gave him a big hug.

"I've brought some friends over!!" Nifty told him. Decay looked up at Damon and Husk, "HoHoHo!! Hullo again, Husky!!" Decay laughed in a goofy tone. "Hello again, dipshit" Husk frowned.

"And you..." Decay turned his tiny body to face Damon, "I've seen you before...on wanted posters!! You look a lot uglier in person, I must admit!!" Decay cackled, hugging himself as he laughed uncontrollably at his horrid joke.

"Oh boy, anyway what do you need, ya sweet lil angel?" Decay looked at Nifty. "My friend here needs a favor from you, he recently angered Aztech and I'm afraid soon enough, Aztech will get his revenge on him" Nifty stated, "Please help him!!" She said with a puppy dog eye.

"Why, I love helping people out!!" Decay said as he struggled to stand up, "I'm real experienced, I know every tips and tricks when it comes to Assassinating poor helpless fools!! I will help you, and in return you can help me with something I have been working on" Decay exclaimed, "Let's shake on it!!" He suggested, raising his small hands up towards Damon. "It's a deal" Damon grabbed Decay by the hand and shook it, sealing the deal...
