The Darker Side of Life

Decay

     The pups screamed as I looked down. My jaw was melting, leaving the steel jaw. I looked at my body, and it was slowly decaying. I could not speak, because my jaw was decayed. I was rotting by the second. 

     "Come on! We need to help him!" Marshall called out, trying to lift me. Chase helped him, and the duo carried me to a bed. I felt my tail fall off. I used morse code to tell Ella what to do.

     An hour later, the Fallen Souls, Julia, Lia, Marshall, Chase and I gathered in a room. I started "chanting". A rift opened up in the floor. Everyone jumped in except for Marshall, Chase and me.

     "I guess this is goodbye." Marshall said with a tear in his eye. Chase shook my paw. I jumped in, and what I saw was bad.

     "I'm not losing you!" Ella called as she grabbed my paw. The rift was sucking us in. Ella fell, and Everest, Skye, Chase, and Marshall tried pulling us up. I think Marshall slipped, because they fell in too!

     I got up. I looked around. I saw that I was in my original realm. Ella was next to me. I looked and saw I was unclothed. I used some quick thinking and made myself a skirt thing using bark. I made Ella a dress out of leaves before she woke up.

     "Still got Wolfdog ears." I muttered as touched my head. I had my tail as well. Ella woke up a few minutes later.

     "Where are we?" She said, a little dazed. I hugged her and explained what happened. She nodded, understanding what is going on. 

     "We have no way of returning home." spoke as I summoned Kurayami. I also equipped Grimwraith. Ella summoned Naruku, and equipped Abyssal Storm. We trekked through the forest.

     We found the rest of the PAW Patrol that fell through the rift. I informed them of what happened. I also got them clothing made of leaves.

     "We should find some of your old friends." Everest piped up.

     "Good idea, Eve. Then we can stay with whoever we find." Marshall agreed, leaning on Eve's shoulder. I shifted my tentacles into a right arm to replace my prosthetic, which did not make it through the portal.

     We were bound through the forests of Michigan. I was in lead, clearing a path. I heard voices not too far from us. We found that the Fallen Souls, in their human forms, had found my old class. I jumped into a tree, ready to strike.

     "So, I opened the door, and we ran!" Archie said, lying about how they escaped. "Hunter didn't make it out."

     "Really?" I called out, dropping to his level. I had Grimwraith readied. I swung it around, and then... "I'm back, and ready to take the dub!"

     I charged, summoning wings to my aid. It appears he lost his powers, because he was running. "I'm totally dead!"

     "What the heck is happening!?" A five-foot ten-inch preteen said.

     "I'm back! And I have some tricks up my sleeve!" I called back, summoning ONI Blasters and surrounding the group. "Kurayami, capture Arch-Angel."

     "Finally, a good hunt." The demon replied, charging in his wolf form. He captured him within minutes.

     I dropped down and put away my blade. "So, lads, how's fricking life?"

     "I-I-its f-f-fine, I g-g-guess." A blonde chick stuttered. "H-h-how's y-y-yours?"

     "It'll be better when your dead, Lillian!" I retorted, impaling her with my tentacles. I ripped her body apart. I threw her body away, Kuray feasting on it after. "Bully me for several years, see what happens."

     "Please don-" Another one started. I decapitated him using Grimwraith.

     The same preteen from before finally spoke up. "Finally. He was very annoying."

    "I know. I've been waiting to do that since I gained my powers." I replied, feasting on the body myself. I was a demonic being, with demonic tastes. "Hey guys, you can come out now!"

    "Lucifer, are they going to hurt us?" Ella asked, clinging to my arm. "If they try, we'll kill them!"

    "No. They would have to be stupid, which most of them are." I replied as I petted her head.

     "Where is Skye and Chase?" I asked the Dalmatian Anthro. He pointed east, then kissed Everest. "So... That me- Oh right there!"

     Someone had snuck up on me and started petting me. My tail wagged uncontrollably. I let out a small moan before snapping back to reality. 

     "Emma, my good old buddy pal good friend buddy chum pal, I have a favor to ask." I said to the girl who petted me. She was six-foot exact. She was a darker tan skinned, brunette.

     "OH CRAP!" A voice yelled from the sky. I looked up and saw a rift, and an African American preteen fell from it. 

     "Zuma, you idiot!" I called out as I flew up to save him. I caught him and landed. "Why on Earth did you think that was a good idea!?"

     His face went beat red when he realized he was naked. "I was twying to wetuwn youw Mighty Cwystal!"

     I handed him my skirt thing and put on the clothes the preteen was wearing. "Next time, pack clothes."

    "Okay." Zuma agreed, nodding. His stutter left, and I activated my Mighty Power. The pups did the same, and we charged up. I turned back into my Wolfdog form. The pups changed back as well. 

     "So, Emma, can we stay at your house?"
