The Darker Side of Life

Heretic

   I met the Prophet at the top of the Humdinger Heights. His armor was scarlet. His mask stayed the same. He had leveled the top of the building, creating a throne instead. I charged in, wielding Grimwraith. He wielded his signature spear. We clashed atop of the city.

     "You think you can stop me?" The man in black taunted. I slashed him, sending him back. I caught myself before going in for another strike. This one missed, receiving another impalement. A few strikes later and I am on the ground.

     "How!?" I screeched, getting up. I dashed through an attack. He had the upper hand, when someone wrapped him up in cables!

     "¡Bájalo, Diablo!" The Spanish Chihuahua commanded. I knew what he meant since I took a Spanish class. I used my wings and went to town on him. I stabbed him with my tentacles, but he quickly regenerated.

     "¡Gracias!" I replied before severing his left arm. Blood gushed from the wound. He teleported away, leaving me and Tracker. We heard lightning and saw a platform in the sky. I had decided I need more power to match the 

Prophet.

     Tracker zipped out of there, and I opened an interdimensional portal using my newfound power. I was in the Void, the place that is between dimensions. I looked through all of the rifts. I decided on going into a random one and hoping for the best.

     I landed in a town located next to the water. My form became more anthropomorphic. I had my black fur, two red eyes, and the scar. I was back as a Wolfdog.   I was wearing a black robe. The town was full of anthros.

     I heard a cry of terror. I looked and saw a robotic mech. This is going to be a long chapter. I ran to the mech, drawing Grimwraith. I went forth and slashed its leg, causing it to fall. There were drones around it. The were shaped like hornets for some reason.

     "Not so fast!" A voice said. It came from a blue thing. I immediately knew who it was. "Who are you? And what's your plan?"

     "Sonic the hedgehog, never thought I'd hop to your realm." I replied, confusing him. "I'm Lucifer, and I'm here for the most powerful artifact I wield."

     "You can't have the Master Emerald!" The red one said. I never really paid attention to their names.

     "Woah. I'm not here to fight." I spoke, putting my hands up. "I just here to save my realm."

     "Your realm?" The yellow fox questioned, flying with his tails."

     "Long story. Do you have a source of unlimited power?"

     "Sonic's quills."

     "Thanks!" I said before grabbing one and teleporting out of there.

     I landed in a dark cavern. I looked around. I was still a furry, great. I heard voices from above. I took the quill and put it in my prosthetic. I dashed up to the surface. I saw two thirteen-year-olds. One was a dark-haired, five-foot seven-inch, dimpled girl. The other was a five-foot nine-inch blonde.

     "No way... I'm back in my old realm." I muttered, hiding in a bush. I crept closer and saw that they were camping. I went into my Wolfdog form after some struggle.

     "Did you hear that?" The brunette asked, fear in her voice.

     "Show yourself!" The blonde commanded, holding out a stick. I leapt into their field of vision.

     "Grrr!" I growled, acting like a normal dog in this world. They were terrified, to say the least.

     "Nice puppy! Wanna treat?" The brunette offered, holding a piece of meat.

     "Naw..." I responded, making them realize I am more than normal. "But I would like some help to save the rest of your friends."

     "They died!" They said in sync. I smiled, and spoke again:

     "How come I, Hunter, is still alive?"

     "What!?"

     "They're alive!? How can we save them?"

     "You give me head scratches." I answered, coming up to them. The brunette called Julia gave me pets. "Aroo."

     "This is weird." She said, remembering who I was.

     "Lia! Get over here!" I called out, summoning my tentacles. One grabbed her and brought her closer. 

     "AHH!" She screamed as I brought her to me. She then also gave me head scratches.

     After an hour, I teleported us across the multiverse. I picked up many artifacts: the Red Crown, Seven Souls, the Dorkslayer, Nitro, the Strings, the Godbox, the lore of Kingdom Hearts, Matpat, rehpyC lliB, Zeus' Thunderbolt, the Dream Nail, and the Eye of Agamotto. 

     We arrived in on the top of that tower. I went in my void form. Having all of the power in me is tough. I summoned Grimwraith, and jumped to the arena in the sky.

     "PROPHET!" I screeched, ready to duel. He appeared in front of me, ready to dance. 

     The fight began off strong. I used all but one of my artifacts, balancing out the playing field. He wielded Tarot Cards, items that are used in fortune telling. We both landed blows on each other. We were bloody, but still pumping.

     "Give up, Lucifer." The man in the mask said, wounded from the fight. I ran and slashed his ankle, causing him to fall. A thin arrow pierced his mask, cracking it. I saw it was the two I picked up, along with the pups. I impaled the wound with the Dream Nail and went into his mind.

     I was in his mind. I was in my Wolfdog form. I saw a staircase, so I scaled it. At the top was the Scarlet King. The Prophet was next to him on his right side. On the left was a black robed man. He had a black helmet similar to the Hollow Knight's. I drew Grimwraith, and challenged the Prophet to a duel to the death.

     The Prophet jumped from his throne, ready to fight. Then the other one jumped too!

     "Prophet, Crusader, deal with him." The Devil commanded. He teleported, leaving me to this fight. 

     I charged at my foes quickly, switching Grimwraith to a scythe. I focused the Crusader first, who was very formidable. He had a shield and a Broadsword. The Prophet would also attack with his spear. 

     "I think this is your end." The Crusader said, striking with a speed unlike any normal fighter. I was impaled by the Prophet, weakening me. I struggled against the titans, doubting myself.

     "Only the King of Demons could kill us." The Prophet taunted, giving me an idea. I activated both the quill and my Mighty Crystal. I ran to the Crusader, and absorbed his power, him dissipating after. I felt my power surge, and I turned all black, with two red eyes. I crashed down, destroying the Prophet.

     I was at the arena, the Prophet holding on to his last breaths. I went full void mode, impaling him with my tentacles thousands of times. I sealed the deal by striking him with his own spear. He was still breathing. Pathetic. I went to my normal Wolfdog form and crushed his skull with my paw. 

     "I am the strongest." I muttered before falling, letting go of all of the power I had accumilated.
