This story follows the life of Y/n, a sinner who has been in hell for some time and has become a prominent mercenary. While he works as a mercenary, he still adheres to a strict moral code that nobody can figure out. He has only ever gone after Hell...
I wake up to my alarm going off, it's only four but thieves won't wait for you to get your beauty rest. I get dressed and and ready for the day, "Another day another pain in the ass." I grumble as I head to my office to quickly check some tapes of what happened when I was sleeping. We had all our staff back so everything was pretty much covered. I did see that Vulcan seemed to be rushing around like a madman for a few minutes before leaving the facility again and returning a hour and a half later. "Looks like my amico is in some trouble."
I head out and start to make my way outside. 'Vulcan can wait for now, I should make sure everything is still working on the perimeter as needed. As I'm walking I notice something glint in the distance on the top of a apartment building, "Merda!" I duck down as a shoot just barely goes over my head. "Who the Hell is that?!" I begin running back towards the entrance as a second shot goes off and I feel a sharp pain in my chest. I almost fall over, but if I do that I'm as good as dead. "Fucking bastardo!" I barely make it inside and seal the door as a second shot clipped my left leg.
"Fucker!" I fall to the ground and feel my strength start to leave me. I look over at the button for the alarm, 'I can't reach it-Oh wait!' I pull out my sidearm and shoot the alarm causing it to go off. "Okay, I just need to rest my eyes for a second..." I close my eyes and start to drift off.
(Third Person POV)
Y/n heard some gunshots and then the alarm went off. He got up from his breakfast and put on his helmet. "THE ALARM WAS TRIGERED AT THE FRONT GATE! ANY AVAILABLE UNITS MOVE IN!" one of the officers blasted over the radios. Y/n easily outran everyone else and arrived at the front door first. His eyes fell upon Sebastian's motionless form, "Oh fuck no, I'm not done with you yet!" He falls at Seb's side before pulling out a RUSH vial and plunging it into Seb's chest.
Y/n leans his ear towards Seb and can hear his breathing start to return to normal. "*sigh of relief* You don't get to leave me like that amico." Suddenly an explosion echos through the facility as the front door is blown open. Y/n managed to pick up Seb and jump out of the way, but a piece of debris lodged itself in his left shoulder. 'FUCKING SHIT! Stay quiet, analyze the situation...' He turns to look from behind a desk at the whole that was their front door.
(Y/n's POV)
I see at least a dozen silhouettes appear in the smoke as they approach me position. 'Fuck this isn't good. The others should be here in twenty seconds, just need to by a little time.' I toss out a flashbang and the group becomes disoriented. I then rush out and take down three with my knife before hiding behind a pile of rubble. "W-what the fuck-THREE DOWN! LOOK ALIVE!" 'Damn they adapt fast.' I toss another flash and get four this time before joining Seb again, the bastard is still sleeping at a time like this.
The group then formed a circle with their backs to each other as they slowly backed out of the building. 'Not so fast.' I throw my combat knife at one of them to grab their attention, "FIRE!" 'Guess that worked!' I quickly dive to the side before pulling out my pistol to shoot two. I grab one of the remaining two and use him as a shield as I shoot the other. "Okay, now that your friends gave us a little privacy, tell me who sent you, how many, and where-" I'm cut off as a sniper shot hits me in the side through the open door.
"Fuck!" I hit my hostage in the back of the head and drag us to cover as more shots ring out but luckily miss. "So snipers too eh? Cacas." Just then I see others arriving from down the hallway, "Vulcan! What's happening-?" his question is cut short by a sniper shot to the head. The others quickly take cover, "Damnit! Talon's dead! Any injuries?" "None sir!" The group now consisted of twenty one, counting me and the security chief of team Charlie. I didn't count Seb because he was still unconscious.
"Vulcan, What is going on?!" the chief shouts out to me. "Found Seb bleeding out, he's temporarily stable but unconscious! Team of twelve hostiles attempted to enter, eleven dead one unconscious and captured! Sniper fire coming from outside, number of remaining hostiles unknown! At least one sniper!" The chief nods before tossing me some kind of tablet, "That is connected to a remote sniper on the stock exchange building 250ft to the left of us. Use it to find and eliminate that damn bastard before he kills anymore of us!" "Yes Sir!"
'This brings back memories.' I turn on the tablet and establish a link. "Son of a bitch..." I can see roughly a hundred more hostiles closing in on the front door from the front. "We're going to have company Sir! Roughly One hundred hostiles on foot approaching the entrance!" "Just take out that sniper! One problem at a time!" I readjust the remote sniper and follow the shots to find two sniper nests on a apartment building directly across from us. "Vale fuckers." my first shot passes through the head of one of the snipers. The other attempts to flee but I hit him in the back through his heart.
"Snipers down Sir! Hostiles sixty meters and closing!" "Don't worry friend, they're mine." I feel a hand on my shoulder as Tom suddenly appears beside me. "You sure Tom? They appear to be trained well and have some angelic arms." He just laughs, "Where would the fun be if I couldn't die?" He then begins to morph into some twisted looking shadow monster that was roughly eighty feet tall as he exited the building.

"Lassen Sie diese Jagd reichlich sein!" 'Of course he's fucking German.' I watch as Tom envelopes the troops in his shadow. At first silence fills the air, then screams and cries and gunfire all erupt simultaneously. "Those poor bastards weren't expecting The Nightmare of Leipzig." The chief muttered behind me. I just watched as the shadows receded showing Tom standing in the middle of a now empty courtyard. No bodies, no blood, no trace whatsoever that they were ever there.
"Das war ein wirklich kostliches Fest!" 'He ate them? He may have missed out on the world wars but it sure doesn't seem like it.' Tom then turns towards us with his usual mischievous smile, "No one breathes a word of this, understood?" Everyone just silently nods not wanting to be his next meal. He then faded into the shadows. "To think that prankster was The Nightmare himself...I once put him on latrine duty for throwing a pie at me." the chief was still coming to terms that Tom was The Nightmare of Leipzig. I heard of the name before, he was known to be quite unforgiving when he first arrived in Hell. Look at him the wrong way and you were a dead man.
"Shit! Get Sebastian to medical right now!" I rush back to Sebastian and pick him up before rushing off to the medical wing. "Keep breathing you bastard!" 'RUSH should keep him stable for another thirty minutes before it wears off. I really should make another batch. After the last one I made I was at twenty, now nineteen, and if these battles keep happening I'm going to need more.' I make it to the medical wing and the doctors take Seb from me before wheeling him off to surgery.
I then feel a buzz in my pocket and pull out my phone, it's Carmilla. "Hello Miss Carmine." "You don't have to call me that." "I'm on the clock so it feels more natural. What did you call for?" "I heard that a alarm went off at your facility, what happened?" I take a breath and recount all that happened from finding Seb on the ground, to Tom being The Nightmare of Leipzig and wiping out the attackers.
"That is certainly troublesome. How is Sebastian doing now?" I sigh before answering, "He's currently in surgery, I won't know for a bit." I could hear the concern in her voice, Seb was a old and trusted friend that she didn't want to lose. "Make sure he gets the best care possible. I'll have someone make preparations for some repairs to the facility, as well as some security improvements." "Understood." "And Vix?" "Yeah Miss Carmine?" "Stay safe." I smile a little, "I will, and you should do the same." "Alright, goodbye Vix." "Goodbye Carmilla." I hang up and wait anxiously to her about Sebastian's condition.
