Chapter 51: New World

Aiden noticed Tywin's army traveling along the Goldroad, upon learning that they were attacking Kings Landing, he couldn't help but smile. His plan had worked out perfectly, his allies would have time to prepare for when the winner of the throne was determined which could take several years.

The lion and the stag will have to fight over the throne before they could think about turning their attention to the Targaryen alliance. This may even pull Dorne into the war or have them side with the Targaryens once again, it all depended on how the winner handled the Prince and Princess of Dorne.

Tywin was sure to keep the marriage agreement between Joffrey and Arianne if he won, the only issue he saw was with Stannis. Aiden knew the man was stubborn, which is why he gave Shireen a bracelet and a statue that was a teleportation device. He didn't want the girl to be used as a pawn by her father now that she was healed.

'I will definitely have to make regular visits to little Shireen, she needs to know how to use the statue to escape if she desires it. Maybe I should meet both her parents, let them know she is under my protection. She is a distant relative to the Targaryens after all. Maybe I should gift her a dragon, I could force a bond even if she doesn't have enough Targaryen blood to do on her own, but that may cause more trouble in the end for her. Many families will want her hand in marriage for the wrong reasons should she have one, maybe I can gift her a pet like I did the others instead, that way she has protection.' Aiden thought as he began to head back north.

He and Dacey had a date set up to visit the Vale together, when he told of his plans to check the situation with the Vale and Dorne, she requested to join him. She had not been able to travel further than the Riverlands and wanted to see the other kingdoms.

Aiden had agreed to her wishes, he wasn't going there to fight anyway, plus he did enjoy spending time with her. She wasn't the only one he had become attached to, Val and Ygritte too had began to grow on him. Like Dacey, they were strong willed and assertive women, he noticed he felt attracted to such qualities.

They both had basically staked a claim to him, which did work in his favor, this had stopped many other Free Folk women from trying to "steal" him. Both women were known throughout the camp, many didn't want to be on their bad side. But it did cause a few issues with some men who had their eyes on both girls.

Aiden didn't mind that kind of trouble since that was much easier to deal with than the alternative.

As the days past on the planet, out in space Aiden began to make headway towards a planet. He detected a vast number of life forms on the planet, not only that but they seemed to be much more technologically advanced than Planetos.

He felt a darkness over the world, a world that was slowly being corrupted. In his excitement of finally being able to see to a new world, Aiden picked up speed even more. He was trillions of light years away from Planetos. He hadn't realized that not only was he speeding thru space at multiple times the speed of light, but he was also teleporting vast distances due to his powers.

Finally arriving near the planet, Aiden stopped just outside the atmosphere to take in the sights of the planet. He saw they had high rise buildings, large cities full of cars, boats and airplanes.

It was a modern world, still very far from kryptonian standards, there was a lot of pollution, he also saw wars being fought in some parts of the world, but overall it was peaceful. He could see the citizens of this planet were also humans.

Using his ability to gain information about the planet, he learned that the inhabitants called their planet Earth, he also learned that humans weren't the only residents of this planet. In fact the planet wasn't as peaceful as it seemed on the surface.

It was actually a battleground for two opposing forces, both forces hid in the shadows as they fought little skirmishes, taking out each others agents that walked amongst the humans. The humans had no idea this was going on, but it was still effecting the world subtly. Corrupting it slowly.

Aiden flew down to the surface, he knew he couldn't let things continue as they were, if he didn't do something, than all life on the planet would be lost. Neither side cared for the human lives, both sides actually wanted the humans to die, they were after their souls so both sides were enemies to life.

As Aiden made his way down, in a dark alley in a major city, many police cars had the alley cordoned off to keep passerbys from entering the crime scene.

A old brown car pulled up to the scene, a short fat brown haired man and a tall skinny blond man with glasses exited the vehicle at the same time.

The fat man pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his trench coat, lit the cigarette and took a few long draws as he studied the surroundings.

After taking everything in both men walked to the alley, as they approached the police tape a young officer in blue stopped them.

"This is a restricted area. NYPD personnel only."

Both men then pulled out their badges, the fat man spoke first, "No shit, that's why we are here. I am Detective Sam Burke and this is my partner Detective Maximillion Williams, we got the call about several bodies. So what do we have?"

The officer checked the badges and let the two men in, "Well it's a bloodbath, I ain't ever seen anything like it. It's like they were torn apart by a wild animal."

"A wild animal? Here in New York? Highly doubtful. You guys haven't touched anything right?" Sam asked as he took another puff of his cigarette.

"No. We got the call about half an hour ago, they said they heard screams and gun shots, myself and two squad cars responded, whoever or whatever did this was already gone by the time we arrived. No one came out of the alley since we arrived, we called you guys as soon as we saw the bodies." The officer stated.

"Alright. Well you and the other officers go knock on the doors to all the rooms that have windows facing this alley, get statements from everyone, maybe someone saw something. We will go check out the crime scene." Sam said as he dropped his cigarette onto the ground and crushed it with his foot to put it out.

Both men walked into the alley, the smell of iron, piss, shit, and vomit got stronger as they entered the alley. The scene they came upon was like a horror movie, blood and body parts were everywhere, any normal person would vomit if they came across the scene. The first responders had done just that when they came upon the scene.

Sam lit another cigarette and studied the scene as his partner studied the bodies, careful not to disturb the scene.

"So what do you make of it Twitch?" Sam asked as he began to try to recreate the scene in his head.

"I can understand why they thought it was a wild animal. Judging by the clothes the victims are wearing, they were homeless, probably been living in this alley. Judging by the blood splatter, the suspect should be covered in blood." Twitch said as he pushed his glasses up to the bridge of his nose.

"Suspect? As in one person did this? We got four bodies, hard to believe that one person was able to do all this in a short amount of time." Sam stated as he scrunched his brow in contemplation.

"Definitely one person. The wounds are all consistent among the victims, the weapon seems to be a sword. See here, it cut clear thru the bone, so they definitely had some strength, probably looking for a male in his mid to late twentys." Twitch said as he pointed out several body parts.

"A sword? Who the hell uses a sword now a days? So the shots were defensive." Sam said as he approached several bullet holes in the wall.

While the two detective's processed the scene, high above them on a rooftop overlooking the alley, a shadowy figure was looking down at the scene, its eyes glowed a dark green color which eminated a green gas. A long red cape billowed in the wind.

The figure lept across the alley to another rooftop, it moved with inhuman speed, as if it caught the scent of what it was tracking, the figure moved with purpose as it ran and jumped from rooftop to rooftop.

Lightning flashed across the sky, as if heralding the rain that would come. Just as the figure was about to leap to another building, a green portal opened right under its feet causing the figure to fall through it before it could catch itself.

The portal dumped the large muscular figure into another alleyway, the figure groaned from the tumble but a noise brought it's attention to a large ass with short legs dangling out of a dumpster.

"Ah perfect, pizza!" A muffled voice broke the silence of the otherwise empty alley.

It watched as the figure pushed himself out from the dumpster, a short fat clown with a white and blue painted face, wearing black pants, a white tank top and black leather jacket landed on the ground in front of the dumpster holding a pizza box.

"Hungry? I'm famished." The short clown stated as he walked over to the dark figure and dropped the pizza box in front of himself and sat on the ground.

As he opened the box, three slices of old pizza that had maggots squirming all over the slices were seen within the box.

"Ew, anchovies! Seriously, what kind of depraved individual gets anchovies on pizza?" The clown said as he picked off a few and threw them over his shoulder.

The figure with green eyes watched in disgust as the clown grabbed a slice, and began to eat the pizza, maggots and all with glee.

"You know, I been watching you." The clown stated as he chewed the pizza. "Your not living up to the deal. Your supposed to be slaughtering innocent people for your master, not befriending hobos."

"Get away from me you freak!" The figure kicked the clown, causing it to roll backwards several times only for it to end on his feet.

"Woah there buddy ol pal. You say I'm the freak, you look in the mirror lately? Those homeless are so sweet, they'll take anybody in, including a freak like you Spawn. Maybe you can meet a nice homeless woman, raise a bunch of homeless kids." The clown stated as he moved back towards the pizza.

"What the hell do you want?" The figure stated.

"Right to the point, I like that, I really do because it's not what I want, but what does hell want to do with you. It is time to get real. A deal is a deal and Malebolgia, my boss and yours, delivered on his end. You got to see your wife, what was her name, Wanda, hmm such a sweet tasty piece of ass." The clown said with a smile.

"Your about two seconds from wearing that smile around your ass." Spawn said angrily, his eyes began to glow green as he began to stand back up.

"Yeah, yeah just make sure to kiss me first alright. It's business now big boy, you got the uniform and the attitude so lets get to it." The clown said as he began to eat another piece of pizza.

"What?" Spawn said as he grabbed his head, trying to make sense of everything.

"Your a Hellspawn, the earth is ready to burn and your the guy with the match, I'm here to make sure you do the job RIGHT." The clown said as he finished the last piece.

"I don't have time for this. I got my own problems." Spawn said as he began to walk away, he was tired of dealing with a crazy lunitic clown.

"You don't just turn your back on your obligations. What, you think your too good to be a Hellspawn? You should be on your knees thanking Malebolgia for the privilege of being a ranking officer in hell's army." The clown said angrily.

Spawn turned around, looked at the very short clown and replied, "You should be on your knees thanking me for not killing you where you stand."

"Yeah right, I don't think you know who your dealing with, but it's time you found out." The clown said as he began to pull up his pants and do some warm up exercises.

"Listen here fat boy, I've had just about enough..." Spawn shouted back but was stunned by what began to happen in front of his eyes.

The clown began to change, "I'm not the Vindicator, the Victimizer, the Vaporizer, or the Vibrator... I am the Violator!"

It was as if his skin began to rip as he grew taller and thinner, now instead of a five foot six inch tall overweight balding man, now he was an almost eight foot tall bipedal demon with a large head with two sharp tusks coming from the sides of his head and a single curved horn on the top that curved forward like the two side tusks.

It's bottom jaw protruded far beyond the upper jaw with many sharp teeth and had long arms and legs with sharp elongated claws. It had large red eyes that had honeycomb lines all across the lenses of the eyes. It's body was elongated and thin.

"You will feel some paaaain, but I know you can hear me." The creature said, telepathically to Spawn.

"Argh, get out of my head!" Spawn said as he grabbed his head in pain.

"No, its how use children of hell communicate, through telepathy." The creature stated back.

Spawn groaned in pain, his head felt like it would pop at any moment, quickly reaching to his waist, he pulled out a MAC-10 and began to fire at the creature, unloading the clip entirely into the monster to try to get it out of his head.

However Violator continued to move forward, unaffected by all the bullet holes that riddled it body, "It's time for some training." With that Violator attacked, stabbing Spawn thru his chest with its long claws.

"Argh!!" Spawn shouted in pain as he grabbed the claw and kicked off Violators chest, this allowed him to launch himself off the claw that impaled him. He fell to the floor in pain.

"What are you?" Spawn exclaimed weakly as the hole in his chest began to heal at a rapid pace.

"A creature far superior to humans, a true native of hell, something no Hellspawn will ever be." Violator said telepathically. It watched as Spawn started to reach for his gun.

"Fool, you cant rely on weapons, that's not why he chose you. There's something in you that Malebolgia senses, something evil there inside you. There are rules to follow, it's my task to make sure you do. Consider this a friendly reminder, get with the fucking program." Violator dashed forward to attack again.

Just before he clawed Spawn again, a figure in a black suit with a large red S on his chest, a red cape fluttering behind him appeared in front of Violator and grabbed his claw, stopping it completely.

"Found you. Damn your one ugly son of a bitch."
