Lex Luther had not been having a good day...
Several of his previously hidden bases were left smouldering craters and ruins. Hundreds of his best men and metahumans had been shredded, their corpses arranged across nearby mountain tops or piles of bodies, wooden poles and tree branches impaled into their rear-ends.
Blood pooled across these bases and mixed with the water. Wild life had taken to the corpses like carrion as rats gnawed upon the fleshy remnants that other predators could not get at first. The worst about this entire scenario was the fact that all of his research material, blueprints, plans and technology had been incinerated alongside the somewhat precious lives of his followers.
"Damn thing!" His hand slammed down upon a plain command console before an electromagnetic, magical and Kryptonian containment system.
His breath misted as the cold thrumming of electricity passed behind the Vibranium walls. The material was almost as good as Adamantium, yet that particular treasure was nigh impossible to fully make. Shaking his bald head in an effort to scatter the random thoughts, he looked down at the console and quickly examined the message he was receiving.
"What do you mean the password is incorrect!?" He groaned as he furrowed his brows, his mind working through the multitude of highly complex passcodes he used for all of his secret projects. Many were highly indecipherable to the normal person, consisting of letters, numbers, symbols, ancient runes, pictograms and even specific answers to certain questions only he would know... Yet he soon found what he wished for, his mind sliding across the several answers as his fingers slid along the screen of the console.
A positive dinging followed his correct answers as a his lips crawled upwards. "Yes! Hopefully that can get-" His voice was cut off by the reverberation of an explosion, the entire room vibrating with energy as the Vibranium slowly turned purple. Glancing back in nervousness he felt another violent energetic burst.
With a desperation that had clung to him, until he had reached this console previously, he finished entering his password. The console lit up completely green as the vault room before him finally unlocked the outermost layer of protections for this being.
"Oh... You beautiful thing, you'll be my freedom from this crimson-loving menace!"
His voice carried a relieved undertone to it as he watched the yellow-range form of something menacing reveal itself. Claws raked out from its fingertips whilst horns sprouted from numerous angles across its body. Its musculature was ominously packed with power, power that even mortals could understand from just a single glance... Skin clung to the muscle like paper would to water, the consistency closer to rock and stone than the analogy would allow however.
"WARNING: Apocalypse is not to be awakened except in extinction-level scenarios." A female voice blared through the room as the first layer of protections were peeled away.
"I'm going to die to a retarded version of Dracula, I think that justifies it..." Lex rolled his eyes and scoffed, his voice whispering out on mock frustration as he himself had implemented this warning.
Below the blaring warning on the screen a large red button sat, the casing completely closed off by glass as the remainder of the buttons lacked their previous glow. He knew that if he chose not to press this button that the protections would come back into effect within a singular minute. That was all the time that he had left himself with to deliberate on the usage of the abomination behind a previous defeat of Superman.
*CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP*
Clapping emanated from behind him, a similar sound to that which he had heard from previous security recordings... Luther gulped before exhaling and slamming his hand down. He would die if he didn't, and at least in this way he could possibly escape the carnage. If not, then he would have taken a monster out for all of humanity... One way or another.
He slammed his hand down through the glass panel, feeling glass shards dig into his palm as the red button underneath it squished into the electronics below that would immediately release his singular chance at continued life.
"Oh...! How dastardly evil of you! A button to solve all of your problems, and a big red one as well." Luther almost hissed at the throbbing in his hand but quickly abandoned tending to it in favour of running to a nearby doorway.
"You're running as well! I thought a monologue was in order?"
Luther winced as his hand hit a DNA scanner, his eyes tracking Alucard as he slowly stalked down the hallway, his duel guns hanging in his hands and twirling as shadows consumed everything behind him.
"You'll die vampire! I just won't be here to witness it!" The door slid open abruptly and Luther threw himself through, the darkness consuming his vision as he sprinted for the closest exit he could manage. He had a long way to go if he wanted to be safe from the conflict between these monsters.
...
"Hey! We were just starting to bond... I really felt a connection, I mean, you even added the monologue on just to be kind!" Alucard called after the weedy little peasant he'd been pointed at.
Freya was great fun sometimes and since she'd asked so nicely, he'd been having a blast. I mean, impalings, blood, viscera, decapitations... It was all so exciting for him. If only Integra could offer walks like these he'd have fucked her into the dirt as soon as he had the chance.
"Come on baldy... At least make the attempt to stick it in me... I may even like it if you try hard enough!"
Only the sound of running met his supernatural senses as another door opened and closed behind his fleeing prey. He came to a slow stop and exhaled slowly, adjusting his red-tinted glasses up the bridge of his nose.
"Clam down, he's just afraid... NAH! FUCK THAT! COME BACK HERE AND FIGHT ME YOU LIMP DICK SON OF A BITCH!"
His yell sundered what little peace had been left in the hallway before. A large vault at the end of the hall boomed with an all encompassing might. The metal, which was something that even Alucard had a little issues with tearing through, dented outwards. A fist's impressions was left as the metal screeched outwards and another explosive sound ushered out.
"What's this...? You left me a present Lexy!? HAHAHAHAAHA" His laughter bubbled forth from his lips as his eyes gleamed red. His previously dangling guns leaping upwards to point towards the vault as another fist impression burst out from the handle-section.
"Ooooh! I CAN FEEL IT! This, this is like fucking the fear turkey... BUT WAY BETTER!"
The extended metal bruises across the outer surface of the vault suddenly silenced. Soft murmurs of feet on metal met his ears, muffled by the sound-consuming quality of the materials themselves... His fingers tickled the edges of his triggers as he watched the vault, enraptured.
*SHHHHKANG*
Through one of the indentations clawed yellow fingers burst forth. Knuckles curled around bending Vibranium as if it were play-dough in the hands of an adult. A putrid stench wafted forth from the newly created hole as Alucard peered into the darkness...
An urge to laugh nearly consumed him but was met equally with surprise as the dark abyss that was the inside of the vault quickly was filled with bright golden light. The abyss was watching back, and it was angry.
What was once a vault now exploded through the entire hallway. Vibranium and several other materials all shattered like crystal under immense pressure. Fragments whizzed past Alucard as his cloak and incorporeal darkness consumed them. A single shard sparked against his face, a small line of blood drooping down his cheek before the wound was gone. His tongue exited his mouth and licked at the singular granule of blood, his eyes alighting in primal ecstasy.
"OOOOOHHHHHHH! F-FUCKING PERFECT!"
The form of an abomination emerged before him. Nearly as sickly as his soul with the colour of its skin. Almost as perverted in its size as the thing under his pants was... Its golden eyes met his equally as the almost primordial face snarled in disdain, anger and hatred. He'd disturbed its nap and now it was out for blood...
"H-hold on a minute here big guy... Gonna need a moment to recover!"
The hulking sixteen foot tall aberration growled with all the bass of a mountain range rumbling as its figure vanished and appeared right in front of the ancient vampire.
"Now hold on-" Alucard's voice was cut off as he was punched through, his body forced to turn into a black cloud of vapour. Hundreds of eyes sprouted from the darkness that was his soul, all of them staring down his newly discovered prey. His body hurriedly reformed several feet back as he finished his words... "NEVER MIND, WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS!"
Gun shots decimated the space between them as they fired off at the speed of sound. His eyes tracked the shockwaves that passed through the air, the menacing form of his playmate slowly shifting in the slowed down perception of time that his senses allowed.
The first bullet missed skin, striking one of the protruding bone-like horns upon the abominations body. Several others impacted but with minuscule effect, the skin tearing at first, only to be met with even harder resistance before they became useless... The fucking thing was evolving as he fought it! He realised it too late however as another fist slapped all of the bullets off course and slammed into his darkness once more, scattering him all over the room before he reformed behind his playmate.
"Now, now big guy... The sun's gettin real low!" The monster twisted with a speed beyond mortal means, its free hand slapping backwards with a tumultuous implosion of sonic waves and atmosphere.
With a twisted grin Alucard vanished and reappeared in close proximity to his playmate's extended hand. His hands coiled around the girthy, thick, arm like a snake arounds its prey before he planted his feet into the Vibranium floor below. A vague grunt collapsed from his throat as the metal tore asunder from the weight and depth of his physical power and the momentum of the abomination before him.
In an instant an earthquake rocked the entire facility off of its foundations, dozens of walls cracking and crumbling as the immense density of the monster and Alucard's strength shook the surrounding landscape as if two titans from myth were playing basketball over the mountain range.
Dusting his hands off he moved his head forwards to follow the long tunnel that had been bored out from his physical display. A low whistle escaped his lips as moonlight faintly dappled at the exit, a distant skidding explosion being the only evidence of his enemy's position.
"Hehehehehe, HAHAHAHAHAAHA. You better not be dead yet... Otherwise-" He was cut off for the second time this fight as his arm broke and splintered into hundreds of fragments. Blood popped through the room as his head summersaulted through the air, his eyes tracking the presence of the living apocalypse given form. It was roaring in frustration and anger as the arm that had grabbed slowly repaired itself, the purple bruises receding to a more sickly green hue.
Its eyes turned back to the tunnel. That was a mistake, a juicy one at that...
"Oh, buddy... You thought that had killed me...? How cute!" Shadow wrapped every ounce of blood and limb that had splattered out, grasping it and merging it back together like a carpenter repairing a marionette doll.
His head snapped upwards as the darkness all gained tentacles and limbs of their own. The scarlet of his eyes took on the qualities of fire as the flames of war were unleashed from their restraint. "Restraint Level 0, unlocked..." The faint voice-over echoed through the ruined passage as the undead digits of numerous hands grasped at the throat of the abomination. Fetid, puss-filled, nails clawed at the open wounds on his play mate's injured arm. Tentacles of pure fear and reviled darkness wrapped around its feet all whilst it raised its head in the attempt to not be leapt at by suicidal Christian priests.
The victory was short lived unfortunately as the several hundred corpses all exploded into flesh and gore, their limbs misting the air with blood. The tentacles struggled and strained against the abomination as the skin of this playmate was slowly thickening. Gold light that had once radiated from its eyes now turned into vibrant arcs of electrical lightning, sourced seemingly from the sun. Apparently the small jaunt out into the moonlight had actually aided his enemy...
"OH! WHAT A CUCK!" A seismic pulsation followed as the monstrosity cleaved the entire mountaintop off, the chilly winter winds of the Alps cascading down into the space as the darkness of night coiled around Alucard like a cape.
"Fuckn JESUS, why don't yah just go and verse Superman you giant fucking dildo!" A grim smile sullied his face with its presence as the abomination coiled itself with solar lightning, its form enlarging somewhat. The landslide caused by his attack was currently burying half of a village community in the lower alps, the entire range of mountains rumbling as it did so.
Alucard didn't waste his time however. Instead, he focused all of his attention on calling out his hell hounds. Monstrosities met Abomination within seconds as the three-headed dire wolves snapped at the ankles and forearms. For the first time in the battle blood was drawn from the playmate as its eyes rankled in utter fury. "Oh shit! No fury like a woman's SCORN!" He dodged the discarded head of one of his familiars as the other two snapped their three jaws into the sickly yellow flesh once more.
Teeth snapped as they too were then shredded into putty. "You killed Martha!!! You BITCH!" Alucard channelled all of his rage and created an upside down cross with his guns. The sky proceeded to alight in flame as an unholy light flickered through the sky and wreathed the ground around the abomination.
Hell's flames made corporeal in this moment, scorched all life within several miles as the snow melted and burnt into vapour. Animals immediately emaciated and withered under the touch of the flames before their corpses turned to coal and sunk into the quickly smelting ground. Black wisps of ash and ichor flared upwards and clasped onto the form of Doomsday, the monstrosity crying out in torment as it was shackled with all of the tortures of the deadly sins and hell itself. Billions, no, trillions, of souls cried out in the gaping maw that was the newly torn portal into hell as the chains of pure, unadulterated, evil hoisted the undying monster into the greedy tooth-filled maw of unending pain.
Bestial roars filtered through the deluge of tormented wails as it struggled upon hell's insidious claws. Yet that is all it could do... Struggle, for these were not something that evolution could provide an answer for... These were beyond life, this was the realm of death and suffering.
With a tragic but anticlimactic pop the portal closed and Alucard lowered to the snow below. He huffed into his hand as the flames of hell bathed his right arm, cooling down only after several minutes as the snow from distant mountaintops slowly whistled their way through winds and landed over the currently barren terrain.
"T-that, was, FUCKING FUN!!!" His yell echoed into the atmosphere as a red cape slowly fluttered in the distance, an 'S' painting the man's uniform before he sped away with a speed faster than a soaring bullet.
...
Meanwhile, in Los Angels...
"Ooo! Spicy... Someone just summoned a portal from hell."
Mazikeen rolled her eyes as her boss shivered in his fancy pompous suit. He was always like this and it grew tiring... Especially when it came to matters of hell. Never did he ever want to go home again, and she knew she would be cursed to follow his guidance so long as god's favourite little shit wished it.
"Whatever..." She slammed back a whiskey bottle, the entire thing emptying in moments as the Devil himself smirked towards her.
"I bet it was good old Drac! No one knew better than him how to throw a welcoming party..." She rolled her eyes once again before turning to the side, noticing a new hunk of a man for her to straddle and fuck into death.
"Yeah, whatever... I'll be back later."
"Oh? Just make sure he isn't dead by the end of it Maze." She grit her teeth and shattered her glass over the floor, her eyes boring into the young man's.
"We're fucking, right now!" She growled the command and the man simply followed her, his nerves shining through in the way he followed her.
