To hell, we go! (Limbus Company x OC)

Chapter 2

[K Corp. - District 11]

Danilo was reaching the border of the Nest of K Corp. which caused him a problem, he didn't have any documentation, so he settled for an alternative - illegal crossing.
He watched as the people went by and got robbed by the hooligans, while he was leaning against a lamp post and smoking, his horse off to run somewhere else. After he finished his cigarette, he threw it away and went into a manhole that leads to the sewers that are connected between the Nest and the Backstreets. He placed a piece of cloth over his mouth and nose to suppress the smell of the sewers and proceeded forward as he held a flashlight in his hand to light the way. Although it seemed peaceful, one feeling loomed over Danilo's mind - that he wasn't alone.

Going deeper into the tunnels below ground, the feeling felt bigger as he passed through what seemed to be the remains of someone, humanoid prosthetics, and soon the sound of flesh being munched on was heard. Danilo's steps were slow and careful, not to alert anything that lay in the dark. Turning around the corner, he was met with a humanoid figure that was mangled and feasted on the corpse of a K Corp. security guard. He walked to the creature while handling the war hammer in his hands, standing behind it, he raised his weapon and struck it down, the sharp point facing down and piercing through the head of the creature, killing it in an instant, not even letting a sound of pain. He stuck it down a few more times to make sure it was dead before inspecting and looting the corpse and letting it rest after he was done.

As he was walking deeper, he felt the area around him shake a bit, it wasn't like an earthquake but more like someone getting their ass whooped. After a while he found an exit and climbed out of the sewers through the manhole, removing his mask, and lifting the manhole cover, he was met with his horse staring at him before Danilo got out of the hole and got on horseback. While riding through the streets he saw on the news from a store that a town is being invaded in the Nest.

Danilo: Wars? In the City?

He stayed for a little while to locate the town and galloped to the place. Soon, he saw smoke in the distance, he was getting closer to the destination. While he was going to the town he was stopped by a few people, clad in white armor, carrying hammers, nails, and whatnot.

???: Halt there.

One said in a monotone voice while Danilo complied and stopped his horse, before getting off it.

Danilo: Who might you be gentlemen? You don't look like locals.

???: We are from N Corp. working as Inquisitors for the Nagel und Hammer.

Danilo: Uh-huh. That's all I needed to hear.

Before any of them could react Danilo pulled out his hammer and struck at the helmet of the person in front of him, sending them to the ground in an instant. The others surrounded him and tried to dispatch him.

Inquisitor: Heretic!

One of them proclaimed and lunged at Danilo, who blocked his attack and stabbed the inquisitor under his left armpit with a blade, puncturing his heart and laying him to rest.

Danilo: I'm doing good if I'm being a heretic for you.

He said with a dry voice as he placed his short blade on his belt and looked at the other inquisitors.

Danilo: Let me make this clear, I don't want to kill, but I wouldn't have much of a choice if you continue like this.

Inquisitor: Our job is to follow The One Who Grips and to cleanse the world. you are but one man.

Danilo: You underestimate the will of a single man...

Without another word he went into the offensive, attacking one inquisitor, pushing him to the ground, and bashing his skull in, while another tried to stab him in the back, only for Danilo to turn around and disarm the inquisitor and stab him in the throat with his own weapon. The last remaining inquisitors remained undeterred, but Danilo quickly took care of them just like the rest, before he set to get in the town.

When he entered the town, he was met with the sight of it burning, corpses everywhere, and trees decorated with human parts, intestines, and lots of other shit. He made the sign of the cross before venturing forth while holding his weapon tightly. Danilo saw the inquisitors doing their work of 'purifying' the heretics, by either lighting them on fire or impaling them, in return, he gouged their eyes out.

A female voice was heard from a siren, he couldn't make out what the voice said but knew it was nothing good, so he shot at the siren, breaking it and it went silent. But not soon after, he heard fighting in the area, so he ran to the location, only to see a heavily armor-clad man, with a red cape fighting against the group from the pawnshop he saw them in.

He lunged at the inquisitor and grabbed him by the back before he pulled him back and to the ground. The inquisitor dropped his sword for a moment next to him on the ground, Danilo kicked it away before sitting on his chest, grabbing a brick, and raising it with both hands.

Danilo: You insignificant-

*CRUNCH*

Danilo: -FUCK!

He repeatedly hit the inquisitor's head with the brick, the inquisitor tried to raise his hand to try and stop him, but it was of no use, only the sound of gut-wrenching sounds of bones cracking and flesh tearing was heard, Danilo only calmed down once blood splattered on his face. He let go of the brick and slowly stood up, his back facing the group, while he was looking down at the corpse. The sinners stared at him intently, keeping their guard(all but one), as Danilo wiped his face. He turned around slowly to face them, bowing his head a little.

Danilo: I apologize, it would appear that I've acted irrationally, I wish we could've met on better terms.

He stated in a more calm tone of voice and raised his head.

Danilo: Please, make no mistake, I have no intention of harming you.

???: Oh yeah? How should we trust you after what you've done to that bloke?

Danilo: Because I would've picked up a fight with you in the pawn shop not too long ago.

???: Still, I'm not-

Before the man with a bat could finish the little gremlin cut him off and exclaimed excitedly.

D.Q.: Danilo!

Danilo: Oh, hello there, Don Quixote.

The group towards her, most look at her with confused or a questioning expression.

???2: You know him, chiquita?

D.Q.: Mhm~! We've made acquaintance at the pawn shop during our mission at the casino. Ye can put trust in him, he poses no harmful intention to us.

They turn to look at me and then back at her.

???3: Well, he can indeed do a lot... but he seems reasonable. Manager, what are your thoughts?

The one with long, red hair asked as she looked at the manager, who had a clock for his/her head, that ticked in response. And a white-haired woman started to speak.

???4: Dante asks what your reason is to be here.

Danilo: To end this madness.

Dante nods and his clock ticks, before the woman from before speaks again.

???4: Dante says that you can come along with us.

Danilo: Normally, I wouldn't really meddle in someone's work. But hearing about your little action at the border... I'm in, I don't want to miss a show. And strength in numbers of course.

Surprisingly most of them let him in with open arms, while the rest look unbothered by him. But there were a few who were skeptical of him but remained quiet.
