Nunslaughter's and Mauled's story
Andy and Brittney stood back to back shooting down the creatures that surrounded them.
“Goddamit there’s a lot of them!” Brittney shouted over the roar of their guns tearing through the demons’ flesh.
“What else did you expect when you pissed the Devil off, love?”Andy called back to his lovely wife.
She just chuckled and quickly reloaded her gun, throwing the empty cartridge at the nearest demon which reeled back, its flesh smoking from the iron, as if it had been burnt.
“Well, He was being a moron.” Andrew just sighed, shaking his head, knowing he wouldn’t be able to change his wife’s mind.
“Well, love, how do you plan on stopping all of this?” He had to ask, she’d never share if he didn’t ask.
“Why yes, I do. But it might involve some explosions, iron and lots of de-“Brittney was cut off when a demon decide to be particularly bold and managed to drag her into a group of other demons. She managed a strangled cry, calling Andrew’s name, fighting against fate and reaching for him.
“No!” Andy screamed as he jumped to grab his wife’s out stretched hand.
Unfortunately he never made it. The demons had a plan.
They meant for them to be separated. As each of them was dragged away from the other, they both saw fear in the other’s eye and shock.
Demons were supposed to be bumbling creatures that only killed and thought of nothing else.
This means they weren’t planning.
She seemed to really anger Him.
Both Andy and Brittney woke up in pitch-black darkness, nowhere near each other. But they still called out to each other.
Andy sat on the floor of what he assumed was his cell and sighed. His wife was somewhere in this mess of Hell.
Said wife was thinking the same thing, but it made her more depressed because all of this was her fault. Well not entirely her fault. The Devil didn’t have to be a complete moron in the first place. Brittney sighed before looking around, hoping to be able to finally see something. Of course , nothing showed.
“Killlll herrrrr”
Andy quickly stood up, startled at hearing a voice. The voice seemed to echo from everywhere, yet nowhere at the same time.
“Hello?” He called out, hoping to hear the voice answer back
“Helloooooo.”
Andy sighed in relief at finally hearing something.
“Who are you?”
“Noooo oneeee, Everyyyy oneeee.”
Andy paused; he had no idea what he was talking too. And it was most likely not another prisoner.
“okay,..” He replied skeptically, now not sure how to respond to this thing.
“ Whyyyy areeee youuuuu hereeee?“The voice seemed to come from inside his head now.
“Um, because we were fighting demons.”
“ Whyyyyy?”
“ Because my wife pissed off the Devil.” Wait, why was he telling this thing all of this. He couldn’t stop himself, he was forced to tell it all of what happened.
“Soooo it’ssss herrrrr faulttt?”
“No! Of course not, I let both of us get captured; I should have been able to protect her.” Andy put his head down in the overwhelming shame he suddenly felt.
The voice paused, “ III cannnn helpppp youuuu escapeee.”
Andy raised his head; the shame was quickly replaced with hope.” Really!?” Something started nagging him at the back of his mind. Why was this voice trying to help him?
“Becauseeeee Heeee putttt meeee hereee tooooo.”
Oh great, it can read minds.
“Uh, Okay how will you help me escape?” Even if he didn’t escape, he wanted to know how The voice would do it.
The voice let out a small laugh. “IIII woulddd takeee youuu overrr, IIII needddd aaaa bodyyy toooo escapeee. Heeee tookkkkk myyyy bodddy. Byyyy usinggg yourrr bodyyy weeee coulddd bothhhh escapeeee.”
Ah, well that didn’t sound too much like a bad plan.
“Um, I’ll have to pass, I’m not too keen on letting something take over my body”
The Voice paused: as if contemplating something.
Before it could speak , A blood curdling scream that sounded like Brittney rang out through the ‘cell’ he was in.
Brittney heard a similar scream that sounded way too much like Andy.
“ANDY!”
“BRITTNEY!”
They both shoot up and wildly looked around, hoping that somehow they could now see something, anything that would help them.
“ Youuu couldddd helpppp herrr, Ifff youuuu helpppp meee.” The voice called.
Andy looked around again, this time his mind set on somehow seeing the creature.
Knowing he needed to help his wife, who was probably being tortured thanks to him, he said what he never thought he’d ever say. “ Yes, you may take my body. But please help my wife! “
It laughed quietly before it launched itself at him, filling his already occupied body with its own soul.
“ Finally,” Andy heard himself say “ a new body, not as strong as my old one, but it’ll do.” Andy felt power seep through his hand as a flame appeared in it. The voice laughed through him and sent the fire off in a random direction. The fire collided with metal, which melted from the magically enhanced heat.
Andy’s body walked calmly through the flames, The voice must’ve used magic again.
“ My name is not The Voice” Andy’s body said, slightly annoyed. “ It’s Abadonn.”
“Okay” Andy thought, “ That doesn’t sound too evil”
Abadonn just laughed and walked through the halls, seeming to look for Andy’s wife.
He stopped at a large ornate door, grinning at it like a madman.
“uh, Is this is where Brittney is?” Andy thought to Abadonn.
“Nope!” He said gleefully.
He burst into the large room where, Andy could now see, sat the Devil himself.
The Devil looked like a normal human being, He had raven hair which was short and had that just-got-out-of-bed look, from it stood two small horns. His face was impish, and his skin had a reddish tint to it. He wore a black suit that fitted His form too well. His claws that substituted for fingernails tapped absentmindedly tapped away at the throne He sat on. He looked really disinterested and unsurprised when he saw Andy’s body walk in.
” Hello Abadonn” His voice was silky and somehow sounded red.
“Hello, he fell for it.”
“ I can clearly see that.” He walked towards Andy’s body and smiled while he looked into its eyes.
“Let him speak. I’d like to hear his voice when we do all of this.” He paused. “Your wife right now is worrying about what happened to you. She somehow heard a scream, a scream that sounded a lot like yours.” He chuckled , as if he made a joke. “You see, I’m rather annoyed you two had the nerve to walk in here and then proceed to insult me. And I really,, truly want your wife dead. Sooo I found a way to torture you and kill her all at the same time!”
He waved his hand off to his side and Brittney appeared. She held a sword in her hand and a slightly confused look on her face.
“ Brittney!” Andy shouted in relief.
Brittney saw him and smiled with the same relief and tried to run towards him only to be thrown back.
Andy tried to scream for her, but Abadonn had taken over his voice again.
The Devil smirked and grew close to Andy, whispering in his ear. “You’re going to kill her. Your body will be the weapon that ended your wife’s life. She will die thinking you killed her. How’s that for a moron?” He walked back to his throne, throwing one leg over the side and smiling wickedly at him. He waved his hand, a signal, and Andy’s body moved towards his wife.
Brittney slowly stood up, being thrown really hurts. Like a lot. She groaned and finally stood and saw her husband walking towards her. She smiled in relief again, till she saw his sword pointed at her and a not so pleasant look on his face.
“Andy?” She called.
He just smiled at her. “Hello Brittney.” His voice sounded different somehow, it was just a little…. off.” The Devil over there offered me a wonderful job, but with one condition.” He smiled at her again and she got immediately what the condition was. She held up her sword and threw her overflowing emotions away; they would only get in the way.
“ Andy, why?”
He sneered at her “ because he offered me something ten times better then yo- No, I lo- Shut up!” She stared in confusion as she saw him arguing with himself, like some sort of gollum.
“ I love her!” Andy was trying to fight for control, but was slowly losing. Abadonn was way too strong. Abadonn took control of the arms again and raised his sword high , to strike down Brittney, whose eyes grew wide.
“NOOOO!”
The resulting scene shocked everyone, well everyone but the Devil.
Andy somehow took control of the arms, but he couldn’t stop the fall so he directed it somewhere away from Brittney. Unfortunately that place was his body. He choked on the blood rising in his throat.
“ Heh, I saved you.” He said while smiling at his beyond shocked wife.
He slowly fell over, while Brittney crawled over to him, holding his head in her lap “Nononononononno” she kept repeating it like it would bring him back, like it was a magic word.
“ Please stay with me, Please!” she begged hoping he would magically stay.
“ Kick him where it hurts, love.”
His last breath was used to smile at her.
Brittney stared at him in plain shock. She felt empty. Just empty.
Her mourning was interrupted by clapping. She looked up and saw the Devil clapping from His spot on the throne, a small, mocking smile playing on His lips.
“ How touching, I nearly cried. Might make it into a chick flick movie, it’d probably make millions”
She was so drained emotionally she couldn’t even glare at him.
“ You planned all of this?”
He laughed at how weak she sounded, “ Of course! Not too shabby for a Moron!” He snarled.
“ My finest moment yet. Now let’s return you to your world so this lovely moment can fester in that pretty little head of yours.” He waved His hand making her reappear in her home, where she finally broke down.
