The Armies of Hell

Hellish Murder

Five hellish beings walked through a portal held by stone spicks coming out of the ground. The portal rippled behind the Hellitaurs as the diplomat of the five turned towards the rest of the devilish group. "When I call your name, respond." Norga commanded.

"Norps."

"I am here, brother." The eight foot behemoth stated. He was welding the half ton hammer.

"Gruland."

"I am at your side, Norga." The demon that spoke was the one that had a battle axe strapped to his back.

"Noble and Breta."

"We are here, sibling." both black and blue armored Hellitaurs said in union.

Norga nodded his head at there response and began to observe the area. The ground the stood on was charred from the portal and seemed to have been alive at one time. Looking around from where he stood, Norga was able to tell that he and his companions were inside a forest. The forest was very quite unlike the forests back in hell, and the plant life was not demonic in any way, unlike the ones in hell.

"Brothers, we are to search the entire forest and beyond for any intelligent life. We will split up to cover more ground. If you find life sound off with a battle cry so we may come and find you." Norga stated to his fellow brethren.

Each behemoth nodded and when off on separate paths.

Gruland

The demon walked through the forest, crushing plants and branches. The more he walked deeper into the depths of the forest, the darker and quieter it got.

After a few minutes of nothing but the breath and heavy steps of Gruland, hardly audible steps could be heard through out the small area of forest Gruland was in. The few minutes was all that was needed to break the silent nature of the dark forest. Loud growls were heard through out the forest as the demon stopped in his tracks.

Turning to his left, Gruland saw three strange creatures. Each one had a muscular build similar to a Hell Lion. They also had bat wings and a scorpion tail. There fur was a mix between yellow and orange unlike the blood red coat Hell Lions had. They let out a loud roar as they slowly approached the battle axe wielding demon.

Gruland chuckled darkly at there attempt to intimidate him. Smiling, he let off a roar of his own, trumping the Lion creatures roar in loudness and intimidation. The lion creatures stepped back and hesitated, but shook of the fear and kept approaching him.

"Big mistake, creatures." Gurland said as he unsheathed his mighty axe.

The middle Lion like creature pounced towards Gurland with it's claws out. The eight foot demon turned his axe sideways and spun around. The side of the blade smashed into the skull of the pouncing creature, fracturing it's skull. The mismatched creature slide across the ground, but to only to be stopped by a oak tree.

The other two looked at the demonic creature with wide eyes as they realized that one of the own was beaten so easily. That surprised soon turned to rage.

Both creatures growled loudly before pouncing at the same time towards there hellish opponent. Gurland quickly stuck his axe into the ground and charged at the air born creatures.

Taking the Lion like creatures by surprise, Gurland grabbed both of them by there throats. Any momentum carrying the pouncing creatures forward was instantly stopped and the two, now helpless, being were carried backwards by the clawed gauntlets of the Hellitaur.

As Gurland increased his grip on the two mammals, his claws cut into there flesh causing the two animals to howler in pain. After about ten steps with the mammals in hand Gurland smashed them into the ground, causing a small shock wave through the forest.

Raising his fist into the air, Gurland mercilessly punched the creature to the right multiple times. The Lion like creature to the left was able to wiggle out of the demon's grip, but to only stare in horror as his pack mate was beat senselessly. After the tenth punch, the creature's face had completely caved in. Small streams would flow out of the open skull as a puddle was created around it.

Gurland turned towards the horrified creature with a smirk. "You and your brethren should listened to me, but you decided to be idiotic and fail to realize you had no chance in the first place, creature." Gurland said darkly.

The creature face looked as if it was about to piss it's self, but suddenly it turned to a mocking smile. Gurland raised a eyebrow at this, but his confusion quickly turned to annoyance due the, though to be dead, mismatched creature latching it's teeth around the hellish being's neck and should. The teeth of the Lion like being did not hurt or harm the demon, but only aggravated it.

"You little bitch." Gurland growled. He reached over his shoulder and grabbed the back of the mismatched creatures neck. With a strong tug, the creature was pulled off of Gruland's shoulder and was thrown to the ground.

"You foolish creature forgot about my armor." Gruland said. The creature tried to crawl away, but the demon was having non of that. Gurland shot his left hand forward. His clawed gauntlet ripped through flesh and mussel of the creatures neck as he rapped his hand around the creatures spinal cord.

The mammal screamed in pain as it's partner sat shocked at the display.

With his left hand rapped around the part of the spinal cord near the creatures head, Gurland shot his right hand towards the creatures lower neck. The claws of the black gauntlet rapped around the spinal cord of the creature, only causing more pain for the lion like creature.

Gurland lifted the creature up into the air and began to pull in opposite directions with both of his arms. The creature above the demon only cried out in pain louder and louder as it's flesh and mussel was torn apart. With on final hard tug the head of the screaming creature was pulled away from the rest of it's body.

Blood poured over Gurland. It poured over his chest, face, shoulders, and arms. The demon dropped both pieces of flesh and looked directly at the cowering feline. Feeling true terror, the fearful mammal began to run away from Gurland.

Gurland ran after the mammal, quickly gaining ground on the running animal. The demon leaped upwards with his hands above his head. A fire spiraled within his grip, but a black and crimson battle axe quickly replaced it.

Gurland swung his axe downwards. The axe cut right in between the feline's shoulder blades. The axe went all the way through the mammal's body, causing it to get lodged into the ground. Gurland kept going forwards and eventually hit the ground. Tucking his body together, the demon rolled. After the roll, he jumped to his hooves, causing him to slide a few more feet in a crouched position.

Standing up regularly, Gurland walked up to the twitching body of the mammal. He grabbed the handle of his battle axe and pulled, causing blood to flow out of the wound profoundly. After yanking the rest of the axe head out, the blood covered demon strapped it onto his back and began to walk towards the area where he killed the first two creatures.

When he reached the area, a strange sent filled his flame filled nostrils despite the smell of blood. It was coming from the north, and with curiosity getting the better of the demon, he followed his nose.
