Chapter - 4.5: Stray Hunting (II) & Voices From The Beyond
/*CAW!-"Monster!"-CAW!-"Incoming!"-CAW!*
Not letting me anytime to think, a crow called out to me, making me whip away my drool.
" Can't a guy get his moment?"
/*Boom!*/
" I guess not."
/*BOOST!*/
Rushing through the former Intact wall is a mixed breed Alien hyena thing retaining snakeskin with spikes shooting out of Its back, possessing red fur on Its back and tail.
" BLOOD!"... Warhammer?
" BLOOD!" Jumping on the dead body of the motherfucker, the Alien hyena thing started eating It and drinking Its blood from off the floor.
' Thanks for the free kill~'
/*Shoosh!*/
Right when I said that, It stopped Its meal and backflipped around to me with Its shark-like teeth, growling.
' Nevermind.'
" Bad person! Bad BLOOD!" It roared out as It lunged at me, ready to cut my throat open with Its lizard-like nails.
" You follow Khorne as well?" I asked, sidestepping the stray Devil.
" Grrr!" Hoping off a wall, It growled tastefully and hatefully.
Sliding under It, I smiled.
" I take that as no."
/*BOOST!*/
" Grrr!" Getting even more maddening, the Stray Devil jerked Its body at me. A speed far faster than the last.
" Suck It." However, already having some power stored back, I punched In the Devil's face, earning a bloody cry of pain and roar of anger.
" Bad Person! Bad BLOOD!" Screeching, Its body grew bigger and more potent In strength.
Having enough of my shit, It appeared In front of me, claws shining In blood-lust.
' This is going to hurt!' Knowing I can't do anything, I blocked.
/*BOOST!-Boom!*/
Coincidentally when I was punched flying once again, Ddraig voice boomed out. So when I landed, I barely felt anything, other than a body ache and a few light purple bruises on my arms, getting thrown at a pile of destroyed rusty metal.
" This is fun." Joker smiling again, I ran at the Devil who was shaking Its hand In pain.
" Grrr?!"
" ARGHHHHH!!!"
Yanking Its right arm off with a hard pull, the Devil let a blood-filled howl and cry, rolling the ground In otherworldly pain.
" Now we're even, right Steven?" Kicking Its body Into the rusty pile of metal, I laughed, as I threw Its arm behind me.
" I didn't hear, you?"
" ARGHHH!!"
/*BOOST!*/
" What?" Stomping on Its cheat, cracking It, I chuckled.
" ARGGGHHH!"
" Not.Loud.Enough."
/*Crack!*/
" REGHJH?!!"
" There you go." Maybe breaking Its limbs was probably too mu-...
Nah, It was good enough.
" I guess, you had enough."
Gripping Its head, I rapidly pulled It out of Its body with Its spine, predator style, with a chant.
" BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!"-" Embrace your hunger, your lust, your desire. The universe is ours for the taking!" Unknowingly, I shouted in unison two different chants, of two beings that hates each other guts. Why? No idea.
/*Splat!*/
Spattering and raining blood, I laughed. Why? Because this fight was dangerous and Fun! And that is all that matters to me. I'm maybe a tiny Battle-junky, just a tiny bit.
[" You good, Yuu?"] Ddraig's soft voice woke me up.
'... Yeah, I'm good.'
[" Are you sure?"]
'... Honestly? I don't know.' I was taking my stress out of dying and everyone I ever loved dying, wasn't I?
[" I'm here for you, Yuu."]
' Thanks.' Like a spell, my racing mind calmed down, and my joker smile left my face... Truly, I am thankful.
Honestly done with everything, I started walking out the building...covered In blood.
[" I'll advise you to stay here till dark. Then you can walk back home."]
' Whatever...' Plopping on the grass field, I closed my eyes. Likewise, having no use for the Booster Gear at the moment, It disappeared.
' Wake me when the night is upon us.'
[" You got It, Yuu. Sleep well."]
' Mhm...' This was the last I heard, taking off to the land of dreams.

" Ah, you're awake. Good, good. Just in time." A voice, swinging from a mouth-watering contralto to a pleasant bass whispered suddenly in my ears. It sent shivers of pleasure and revulsion down my spine, yet it froze the blood in my veins.
" Ah? So he's the one that connected to us all. How Interesting." A deep, chilling voice rumbled from all around me. It felt like blood-thirst, rage and war. It made my blood race like a battle-hymn. My heart thundered with the need to rip and tear, to bathe myself in the blood of my enemies.
I opened my eyes and immediately wanted to claw them out of my skull, yet I was unable to move, to look away.
The landscape… it was hard, no impossible to describe.
There were fleshly, half-rotted mouths on the floor/ceiling. Men, women and children, who were little more than slabs of brutalized flesh and offal were being tortured in unspeakable ways. Their screams of agony/ecstasy were echoing in the purple, pulsating void all around us. Directions were shifting in a way that simply made no sense, up and right left and down.
" What did you do, bird brain?" Another male spoke. The voice sounded like decay, like the moans of the deadthly sick.
"This wasn't according to plan." Another voice. Inhuman-Wise-Amused-Interested. It constantly changed in tone and timbre, it held the promise of things to come.
" You think?" This was different. The voice made my very soul ring with confidence I've never known. It held calm radiance, filing my heart with hope.
" How amusing, a shard of all of Us." The Male/Female thing laughed from behind me, the very substance of the sound making me flush with desire.
" He's one of mine." The bright voice spoke, disregarding the interruption.
" Yours? No." A flutter of feathers. Many birdlike eyes formed in the twisting madness around me and staring into my soul.
" Then he isn't one of yours either." The light sounded amused.
" Not yet." The voice was all feminine, soothing, seductive, arousing. It's sheer presence made me scream as my mind was bombarded with visions of carnal pleasures that no sane man would ever dream of in his deepest nightmares.
" Don't break it yet." The constantly changing voice admonished, while the thousand eyes continued to stare into me.
/*ZZZZZ!!!*/
" Nevermind, we broke him already." Was the last I heard, upon blacking out.
