Skulduggery Pleasant oneshots

Slaughter

Requested by @ScarletBlack1301

Summary: Val is attacked and severely injured by a cult and Skulduggery kills them all.

Tw: This may make some people uncomfortable because it will be a bit gory in places so please be careful and if you dont like blood don't read this.

Third person pov:
Valkyrie played still in the hospital before at the sanctuary. Some crazy cult attacked her while she was out and up until 20 minutes ago, she only had an 8% chance of survival. Now it was up to 60%. She was strong. She would fight through this and live to kick evil ass another day. But even so, the attack was brutal. Valkyrie would have 6 new scars from this, even with magic. 3 long ones across her back, 2 sliced into her stomach and 1 deep scar on her bicep. The cult wanted to kill her slowly and painfully. Her and Skulduggery had put their leaders husband in prison for being a cannibal and kidnapping, then eating babies. The plan was to lure her into the woods and beat her to death but she managed to fight them off, before she lost to mutch blood and collapsed. She was fould 10 minutes later by a sanctuary operative.

Skulduggery was angry. He wanted blood, he wanted them to suffer like she did, he wanted to crush them. The second Vals chances of survival went up he slipped out of the room while Ghastly and Ravel were talking and left to go find their base. He had figured out who they were and where they were stationed while Val was in surgery and now it was on.

There was a small part of his brain that told him to stay with Val. She had been through a traumatic experience and would need him when she woke up. It told him that he had got lost in his anger before and good people died because of it, and that he shouldn't let it happen again. All of this was true of course but the anger in him was speaking louder that that little part of his brain. And the anger was screaming for their blood. And he was going to give them to it.

He arrived and got out of the Bentley. The place he was looking for was an abandoned where house. How cliché, he thought. He knew his time was limited. They would have noticed he was missing back at the sanctuary and there would be a search party out now. Of he timed it right he could be done and get back in time to be by Valkyries side when she woke up.

There defences weren't very organised. The procedure for a break-in was essentially all people go rushing to the trespasser and attack. To anyone else, a barage of crazy sorcerers running towards you would be game over, but this was Skulduggery Pleasant. Specifically, Skulduggery Pleasant on a rampage, and he wasn't going to let anything get in his way.

He walked in through the side entrance and, as expected, about 50 sorcerers ran towards him. He crushed the first 20 with air. Caved in their bodys. Blood flowed everywhere, and it hadn't even been 2 minutes yet. He used their blood to drown the next 10 that came (A/n imagine blood bending from ATLA and that scene from Harry Potter OOTF in the duel with Voldemort and Dumbledoor.) All of the remaining people were then thrown into walls and died on impact. He was covered in blood now but he wasn't done. The leader who ordered the attack was still there, in his office, probably unaware of the bodies that lay beneath him. Fun.

He walked up the stairs, gun in hand, and kicked open the door. Inside was a tall, muscular man. The one who ordered the attack. Within seconds, his gun was against the mans head. The fear in his eyes gave the dead man life. "I presume you know why in here, correct?" He said, his voice velvety smooth.
"Y-yes." The man stuttered.
"Then you know why I have to kill you?" A sudden rage filled the mand eyes.
"She deserved it! Putting my husband in prison! She deserved to die and you deserved to lose her! My only regret is that my people.didnt finish the-" he took the air out of his lungs. The mans face turned purple, the anger he had a split second ago turned back to fear. He fell back, clawing at his throat. Skulduggery stepped towards him and tilted his head,
"Your pathetic." He said, before stomping on the mans head.

He went home, cleaned up the blood and changed suits before going back to sanctuary. He had another hour before Val woke up and he didn't want her to worry. Upon entering, Tipstaff hurried up to him and squeaked, "The elders would like to speak to you." before running away. He sighed and walked to tje conference room.

"Skulduggery."
"Ghastly."
"Skulduggery."
"Ravel."
"Skulduggery."
"You dont get a greeting. What's this about?"
Ravel stared ant him for a minute before speaking. "We have had operatives looking for you for ages. You have changes suits, so we know what you did-"
"Ravel, it is not illegal for me to simply walk into a building and and I was attacked so was self defence. As for the leader, I went to arrest him and things got violent. Of course you can reprimand me for not having a warrant, or the proper parers to carry out an arrest but that will be the extent of the trouble I will get into. Now if you excuse me..." He stood up before Mist turned to Ravel and asked ,
"So that's it? He gets away scot free?"
"Well you heard him, he hasn't broken any laws." Said Ghastly.
"I cannot believe this. Grand Mage I demand that-"
"Madame Mist he is right. Skulduggery has not broken any laws and is free to go."
"Thank you." He said and left a fuming Madame Mist to argue with the other elders.

Bonus.
Val opened her eyes. God, it was bright in here. She turned to the side and saw she was in the medical bay. She turned to the other side and saw Skulduggery sitting there. "Your awake." He remarked.
"I am." She tried to sit up but he pushed her down. She glared at him.
"You can't leave this bed for a few days."
"Can I at least sit up?"
"No." She groaned and got up anyway.
"Will you ever listen to me?"
"Nope."
"Do you remember what happened?" He asked, his voice gentle this time.
"Yeah." Val grimaced. Then she noticed something about him. "You did something. I can see it on your face."
"I don't have a face."
"Well I can see it on your not face. Now tell me."
"Let's just say that cult will never bother you again."
She stared, shocked at him. "You took out an entire cult?"
"It was a very small cult."
"Omg Skulduggery!"
"Did you just say O-M-G in real life?"
"Shut up! Besides you can't talk Mr 'I took out an entire cult' how did you even do that?"
"Unimportant."
"Your insane."
"So are you.
"Fair." She lied back down and sighed. Her life is weird.
