Special Chapter

Chapter Thirteen: Killers and Tyrants

A cold gust of wind blew through the night air, a single man with blood covering his face was attempting to run through the snow.

It was the southern province of Gusteko, close to the border with Lugnica.

The man brushed sweat off his face as he continued running for his life. His breath was ragged and pain was easily shown on his face. He was nobleman from that provence, he had just learned a rival family member had placed a hit on him for monetary gain.

A small yellow sphere of light was floating around him.

It was a earth spirit that was contracted with him. It was floating around in an erratic manner.

This was due to the man's condition. His left arm was cut off. He used his remaining hand to hold onto his wound.

His black hair was nearly covered in snow, his golden eyes squinted as he tried to put up with the pain. He wanted to survive. He had to…

"Ah! You got pretty far."

He stopped dead in his tracks as he turned around. He saw a figure slowly moving towards him. He panicked as raised his hand toward it.

"El Dona!"

A large rock flew out from the ground and launched itself towards the figure.

The mysterious figure spun out of its way and charged at the man. Once again he raised his palm and fired several more pillars.

She dodged every single one as he continued. Eventually being only a few feet away from him. She smiled as she relished in the idea of cutting into him.

But he screamed, as he once again raised his hand.

"UL DONA!"

A large dome of rock surrounded him and stopped her blade.

Elsa slightly frowned at this.

"You are much more troublesome than those guards you hired."

She thought back to the six guards the man had hired in order to protect himself, and how much fun it was to slice open their stomachs. The color of their bowels still etched into her mind. She was ecstatic.

"Now then, we should finish this off and see those nice bowels of yours, right?"

She then walked around to the opposite side of the dome. She then glanced over and gave a joyful smile.

"Okay! You have a shot now."

Something landed at the spot where she stood. It was a grenade.

The explosion caused the rock formation to fall apart, seeing her chance she dashed forward and spun in the air with the blade still in her hand. The man looked down to see his stomach sliced open. His bowels slowly slipped through his wound. He fell over to his side and began to wail in horror. The pain was extreme and his mind could not function properly, the small spirit hovered around him for awhile, only to disappear suddenly. He looked up and saw a man standing there, alongside Elsa. He wore a strange orange and dark blue armor as he pulled out a small knife from his pocket.

"Dammmmmn youuu…"

They were his last words as a knife impacted his skull, killing him. Deathstroke reached down and pulled out the knife he had just thrown, covering his glove in blood. He simply sighed at the sight.

"My first spirit user, and he turns out to be this weakling."

"Yes, I do apologize for that, usually they put up a good fight."

"The moment I cut off his arm, he almost started crying and ran away."

"But you did seem to enjoy yourself fighting those knights earlier."

"Sure, but that was coincidental. They weren't supposed to be there, all that screaming just drew them to us."

"Fufufufu. But in all seriousness I'm glad we got this job done."

She glanced over to the dead man, staring at his bowels. She gave a blissful smile as she began to walk away. Deathstroke not far behind.

"I heard Meili had a job yesterday."

"Yes, but sadly I heard she failed…"

"Hmmm, the Boss won't like that. Maybe I should put in a good word to her."

"No worries, she'll forgive her. That girl never really fails, so her first time shouldn't be too bad."

"Well alright then."

"But still, we're all very impressed with you. Twelve confirmed kills and you only started two days ago, fufufufu."

"It's nothing. Money talks, and in that case I like to talk and walk."

She stopped as she faced him. She placed a finger on chest moved it down against his abdomen. She looked up at him and looked at his eye.

"I can see it's more than that."

"..."

"...Right?"

She moved her finger away and placed her lips. She then turned around and began walking again.

"Now then, let's get to the next job."

"...Right."

"Fufufufu!"

Deathstroke caught up with her as they began walking away into the distance, leaving the corpse of the man they hunted down behind.

Elsa The Bowel Hunter and Deathstroke The Terminator disappeared into the shadows of the night.

In a vast forest hidden away from sight, a small village was burning to the ground.

There were rumors of a rogue group of fiends going around the Vollachia Empire, attacking villages and annexing them into a new territory.

This "rogue nation", one with no true legitimacy of being even called an empire had come to call itself GRODD.

The villagers were gathered around in a small circle, surrounded by men in armor. In the distance they could a large battle ensuing in the forest nearby.

Trees were falling all around them and and the very earth was caving in at their attacks.

A large man with large bronze arms and legs, picked up a tree and stared at his opponent with a serious look.

This man was part of the Nine God Generals, a group toting the nine strongest individuals in the military.

He was Moguro Hagane. A steel human. And the 8th strongest general. Sent to investigate the emergence of Grodd and his army.

Ahead of him was his opponent, a large beast with golden armor and a large axe in one hand. Dripping blood from his mouth.

This was Gorilla Grodd.

"Foolish human! You should have taken my offer, you would have saved yourself from a cruel death. Now I'll just chop your head off with your own weapon!"

"I don't think you'll be able to. When you're at death's door, I hope you think long and hard about the senseless deaths you've caused!"

"Their deaths were not senseless! They were sacrifices of my birthright, the right to rule with indomitable power and raise a nation where I am to be king! KING! ME! KING GRODD!"

"You maniac!"

"Hahahaha! Come then strange human! Get over here and die for your new king!"

Grodd gripped the axe and raised it over his head. He smiled at him and roared wildly.

"Become a sacrifice for the Empire of Grodd!"

Grodd charged at him, Moguro spun the tree in his hands and attempted to stirke him. Grodd jumped in the air and swung the axe down, causing it to get stuck into the tree. Grodd took advantage and landed his feet on the trunk of the tree and slammed his hand towards Moguro's face. He dodged and threw the trunk away, Grodd jumped off and rolled onto the ground. Moguro tried to chase after him, only for the trunk to suddenly fly back and strike him from the side.

Grodd then ran to him on all fours, his eyes glowing bright blue. Moguro was able to grab the axe from the floor and was about to swing.

"HUH?!"

He suddenly realized he couldn't move, he tried with all his might, but could only twitch his body. He then ate a solid punch to the face, his teeth flying out and a massive amount of blood spilling out. He then clawed his face, ripping pieces of it out. Grodd growled as he sent telepathic images into his head.

"URRRAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Moguro screamed in utter pain as he began to fall to his knees. Grodd gave a vicious smile as he stared down at the powerful opponent.

"Your mind is not easily controlled, but it can still be harmed I see. Just as well."

"D...Damn...you…."

"A shame really, you were very strong. You would have had your uses."

Grodd then snatched away the axe from his hand and lifted it over his head. Moguro leered at him, with tears forming in the corner of his eyes. But they were tears of blood. Horrible veins popped on his forehead and his throat started to become inflamed.

"But Grodd keeps his promises…"

The villagers were then moved over to the forest as they met up with the rest of the mind-controlled army.

A random soldier looked over to the forest.

"Welcome back Master…"

Grodd then moved out of the forest and into view, with the decapitated head of Moguro in his hand.

The villagers shrieked in horror at the sight. They could not believe one of the Ning God Generals had been killed. Grodd was amused by this. He then bit into the head and began sucking into the hole where his skull would be. He ate the contents inside, as looked over at the villagers. He chewed thoroughly and smiled at them.

"Welcome to the Empire of Grodd. Prove to me your worth."

He began to laugh as he threw Moguro's head into the fire of the burning village. The army now having conquered new territory for his desires.

Word quickly spread of Moguro's death, leaving the country in a state of panic.

Though a hero had arrived in this new world, so did the evil he fought against. And it would continue to harm the innocent, unbeknownst to him.
