Chapter 4: She's a Demon

After traveling for several minutes through the vortex, Charlene reaches her dimension, accompanied by Amen and Ox, to escort her in case the demons try again to capture her. The young witch still manages to walk, but she is weak. Amen and Ox remain with her and the group began to walk. The two monsters look around and find that this dimension is very strange. A rocky ground devoid of vegetation, chain gray mountains on the horizon, and a very dark sky without stars. A strange mist covers the ground. In the distance, the two monsters can hear strange cries in the distance. This dimension is really sinister and strange. Amen turns to Charlene, who goes before the two monsters.
(Amen): "Tell me Charlene. Strange place to come and settle."
(Charlene): "Oh you know, I like solitude and it was a perfect place here. It's a bit grim, but over time, you get used."
The witch speaks strangely, as if she felt well here. Amen and Ox are beginning to find it curious, but continue to follow her. A few meters away, they go down a stone staircase that leads to a wooden door, lit by flaming torches hung on the sides. It looks like the entrance to a cave. There are also several voodoo objects such as skulls and tribal necklaces, hanging above the door, and one of the skulls emits smoke through his mouth. Ox turns to the witch.
(Ox): "So this is where you live?"
(Charlene): "Yes, I live under the ground I like to stay hidden in darkness."
The voice of Charlene is strange, she seems like another person and she seems to have a smile at the corner of the mouth. Amen and Ox come with her in the cave, but puzzled. The interior is a huge room, but completely empty. The only light comes from the ceiling and illuminates a large circle in the middle of the room, everything else is plunged into total darkness. Amen and Ox are advancing into the middle of the circle and stop, while Charlene stops a little further, without looking back. The two monsters are beginning to find this really fishy.
(Amen): "Well, or are your grimoires?"
The witch does not answer the question and turned to them with a look rather dark and unsmiling.
(Charlene): "Tell me, why did you accept to help Mr. Lordi?"
(Amen): "Well, because he is a good friend, a fair lord for his fellows, and also to prevent the destruction of our world."
(Charlene): "A very noble quest, but then, why help the human world?"
(Ox): "They deserve a chance to survive, and in addition, one of our friends is part of this world, and he is in love with one of ours. Our two worlds are linked now, and we need to defend them. Why these questions? "
(Charlene): "My mother always wanted to dominate the human world, by any means possible. She said it would expand our empire and reinforce our race. You could help us by joining our cause. You could have power for eternity."
Amen and Ox are quite amazed at what she said, but they suspect something to her.
(Ox): "Explain yourself, what do you mean?"
(Charlene): "The human world is not yours. You think humans will accept you someday? They are intolerant and violent. They hate and are afraid by the creatures like you and me, and all that the human does not understand, he destroys it.”
(Amen): "I know that humans can be like that sometimes, but there are also good in them. One day, monsters and humans will be in perfect harmony, and we never will do them harm. Never!"
Ox agrees with that Amen said, but Charlene pushes a sigh of annoyance and shakes her head slowly, as if she gives up. Suddenly, the room gets darker and colder air. A shadow halo begins to surround Charlene, and her skin is pale as death. Amen and Ox are amazed and wondered what happens.
(Charlene): "Well, monsters, you will never change. I would have tried to convince you, you will always stay the same."
The white dress of Charlene disintegrates and is replaced by a dark gray armor that covers the upper body, arms and legs. An arm consists by dark energy is materialized to replace the arm she had lost. Strange black symbols appear on her skin, like tattoos. Her blonde hair turn black, and have the appearance of tentacles, and a cape made of shadows appears behind her, and two black horns appear on her head. When she opened her eyes, her eyes turn blood red and his smile is became carnivorous, with sharp teeth. The air becomes cold and the darkness is more spread in the room. Charlene looks up the two monsters, and began to snicker slyly.
(Charlene): "I would love that things happens differently for once, but history repeats itself, endlessly."
(Amen): "You ...... You are a demon!"
(Charlene): "Congratulations, you've guessed! But not an ordinary demon. I am the new queen of the southern demons! You have to admit that my little plan has been successful, no?"
Amen and Ox made themselves trapped. Charlene has been spent herself for a victim of the demons, to be able to approach the monsters without attracting suspicion, and try to attract the allies of Mr. Lordi, to convince them to join her. But she had not expected that the allies of Mr. Lordi are as loyal to their lord.
(Charlene): "Mathias and Hella will finally going to pay for the harm they did to me. I'll finish what my brother started. And thanks to the attacks of my disciples, humans begin to reject and accuse the monsters. Your alliance will be broken, and this time, even the power of Mathias and Hella will not change that. The reign of eternal darkness is about to begin! "
(Ox): "Not while I'm alive!"
The Minotaur growls of anger and begins to run towards Charlene, for attack her. But the demoness remains eerily quiet. Suddenly, she pulls a dark energy sphere that throws Ox back towards Amen. The pharaoh helps his friend to stand up, and Ox growls in pain, rubbing his chest. Charlene began to giggle again, while the two monsters are preparing to attack. Ox breath of rage, but Amen advises him.
(Amen): "Stay calm Ox. If we are united, we can beat her."
Hearing this, Charlene opened great eyes and laughed, as if to mock what Amen said. Then she stops laughing and looks at the monsters with a smirk.
(Charlene): "You really believe that, right? Even with 1,000 years of additional experience, you could not do anything against me, and......"
Suddenly the demoness is hit by Ox again, and she is throwing against the wall. Charlene moaned in pain and fell to her knees on the floor. The Minotaur talks to the demoness.
(Ox):"You talk too much!
Amen focuses his power and triggers a sand storm that raises Charlene in the air, very quickly, before throwing her back to the ground. The queen of the demons rises up, groaning in pain, but with anger too.
(Charlene): "Okay, you want to play? I will show you the true power of the darkness!"
Charlene rises and spreads her arms. Her hands and arms begin to be surrounded by black lightning, and his shadow cloak begins to spread. The eyes of the demoness become red light and the room starts to shake in all directions. Amen and Ox are trying to keep balance, avoiding the debris falling from the ceiling. The whole body of Charlene is surrounded by lightning and dark energy, which winds around her body, like snakes. Then the demoness causes a gigantic lightning burst of energy in the room, pushing a deafening scream. Lightning destroys the walls, and some struck Amen and Ox in the belly, and both monsters are thrown to the ground violently. Charlene teleports herself at high speed, right next to Amen. With her fist surrounded by dark energy, she strikes Amen in the face, violently, and throws him against a wall. He falls to the ground, groaning, but fails to rise up. Ox gets up and tries to hit Charlene, but she teleports again and electrocuted the Minotaur with a lightning sphere. Ox roared in pain and fell to his knees, weakened. The two monsters are on the ground, and Charlene's power continues to spread in the room. The body of the demoness is surrounded by a dark and demonic energy, like a shield. She is invincible and untouchable. Charlene starts to giggle with cruelty and is about to kill the two monsters, in preparing a new explosion of lightnings, even more violent than the former. Despite his injuries, Ox wants to return to fight, but Amen holds him the shoulder.
(Amen): "No! She is much too powerful! We must warn others! Come!"
Ox growls of frustration and do not like to give up, but he knows that his friend is right. Amen creates a vortex towards the human world, and plunges inside with Ox, at the same moment or Charlene triggers her explosion, with all her power. The room shakes violently and giant lightning devastate the floor, walls and ceiling, throughout the room. When lightning disappears and Charlene calms herself, she finds that the room is devastated, but empty. Amen and Ox have managed to escape. Charlene growls of rage, and sends lightning everywhere. As she removes her aggressiveness, an explosion of fire appears behind her, and the flaming giant eye appears, through a vortex. The queen of demons turned, surprised, and respectfully kneels before the fire eye.
(Charlene): "I'm sorry, mother, but the monsters have escaped."
The eye starts to giggle and talk.
(Fire Eye): "Good, because by warning the others, they will spread the fear and anxiety in the hearts of their friends, and fear will make them even weaker. We have already weakened the alliance between humans and monsters. Divide and conquer. But now, it's time to go on the offensive. You are strong, my young disciple. Soon you'll be able to take your revenge, and we shall reign on the two worlds, in a kingdom of darkness and eternal death!"
(Charlene): "Finally the time has come! And we will have our revenge."
(Fire Eye):"You have been well trained, Charlene. They will be no match against you."
Charlene smiled sadistically and starts walking in darkness, to go to her troops, while the fiery eye disappears in smoke.

New chapter. Now that the new threat has emerged from the shadows, what will happen to Mathias, Hella and the brotherhood of Lordi?

Chapter 5: The Night of the Loving Dead

The night has fallen on the human world. The sky continues to fill with threatening clouds and already the first red lightnings begin to explode in the sky. An icy wind blows in the forest and it reigns a dead silence in the area. Mr. Lordi, Mathias, Hella and Mana went to the new castle of Lordi, located in the depths of the forest of Soulaires. Mr. Lordi is at the window of his room and looks at the sky with a concerned look. He groans of frustration on seeing that the influence of the demons took power, and he fears that the worst is yet to come. Awa and Kita were called in reinforcements and joined the others at the castle. They also changed their outfits.
The hair of Awa are most long and smoother, and her face looks more aggressive, but still beautiful. She wears a long red and purple dress, ragged, but still very elegant. Her nails are larger too, like claws now. Kita's face has not changed much, but his horns are larger and thicker, and her hair is dressed like a ponytail. He changed his armor, and has now a new weapon: a katana. He looks like an alien samurai. Mathias is also very happy to see them, and the feeling is mutual. Kita is a very good friend, and Mathias considers Awa as his sister.
While the brotherhood expects the return of Amen and Ox, Mathias and Hella are gathered together in the large living room of the castle. They are both sitting by the fireplace, side by side, without saying a word. Outside, the rain begins to fall gently and the red lightnings continue to explode from time to time in the black clouds. An owl slowly landed on the branch of the tree in front of the window and lets out a hoot. Hella puts her hand on that of Mathias and turns to him, but she realizes that he is worried.
(Hella): "Mathias? Are you okay?"
(Mathias): "Yes, it's just that I'm worried about those evil phenomena. These demons seem even more powerful than those we have fought eight months ago. In addition, the alliance between the monsters and humans is about to be broken because of them. To be honest, I don't know if we will succeed this time."
Hella understands what Mathias feels for his world and the future, and she kisses him on the cheek, as if to comfort him, and she approaches him some more looking into the eyes. She is so beautiful. The firelight reflected on her face and hair. Hella put her hand gently on the heart of Mathias, as to listen to it beat.
(Hella): "We've all fear. The earth has become a world of fear, but we can put a stop to. These new demons may possess the power of eternal darkness, but we have an equally powerful thing to within us, and can overcome them: the true and eternal love, like ours."
Mathias smiled and knows she's right. As love lives, there is hope. This time it's Mathias who kisses Hella on the cheek, to thank her. The Scarbie blushed and takes something in her pocket and hands it to Mathias. A metal pendant, in the shape of a cross with a skull. What a beautiful object.
(Hella): "I made this object during the eight long months that separated us, and I wanted to give it to you when we are together again."
Mathias took the pendant and puts it around his neck. The cross shines in the light of the flames and the eyes of the small skull light up slowly. Mathias already loves this object and turned to Hella, a little embarrassed.
(Mathias): "Thank you, but I'm a little embarrassed, I have nothing to offer you."
(Hella): "You have already given me eternal love and hope, Mathias. This is a wonderful gift."
Mathias blushes in turn. While they are about to kiss with love, a vortex suddenly appears in the middle of the room. The sound of the vortex attracted the other monsters of the brotherhood, who come to see what happens. Mathias and Hella rise and stand ready, in case it would be the demons come back. But, these are Amen and Ox coming out of the vortex, wounded and weakened. The vortex closes behind them and the two monsters are fall on the ground, groaning in pain. They have several brands of injuries and burns on the body, and seem very low. The rest of the brotherhood, horrified, rushed to help them. Awa and Kita help Ox to get up, while Hella and Mana help Amen. Mr. Lordi advances to ask what happened, and puts his hand on the shoulder of Amen.
(Mr. Lordi): "Amen? My friend, tell me what happened. Who did this to you?"
The Pharaoh looks up to the Monsterman and tries to speak with difficulty.
(Amen): "It's ..... It's Charlene....... She has deceived us.......... She is a demon.... They are back. "
Amen is no longer able to speak. The others helped Amen and Ox to sit on the large sofa, so that they recover a little strength. Intrigued, Awa turns to her friends.
(Awa): "Who is Charlene?"
(Mr. Lordi): "A woman who claimed to be a witch captured by the demons, while she is one of them. How have I been so blind? I should feel it, but she had a very high power to succeed to deceiving our senses."
(Hella): "Do not be hard on yourself, Mr. Lordi. We've all been deceived in this case."
(Kita): "In any case, what she did to Amen and Ox will not go unpunished, believe me."
Kita took his katana in saying that. But against these new demons, it seems that physical strength is not enough. Mana looks how are Amen and Ox. They are still alive, but too weak for now. For successfully put them like that, Charlene must have a very strong power. Suddenly, a powerful red flash explodes like a bomb outside and lights outside by the windows of the castle. Mathias, Hella and Mr. Lordi rushes to the door to see what it is, while Kita, Mana and Awa stay with the wounded.
When they get out, the rain continues to fall, but the red flash disappeared. The atmosphere became even more cold and dark in the forest. Suddenly, the group hears a dark chuckle and sees Charlene under her demonic form, levitating above the trees in front of them. The black hair of the demoness floating in the wind and her eyes shine in the night. She is surrounded by red electricity and smiled cruelly. The group is not intimidated and faces.
(Mathias): "What did you do to Amen and Ox?"
(Charlene): "Do not worry about the fate of your friends, young fool. It's nothing compared to what I reserve to you and your love."
(Hella): "Charlene, why are you doing this?"
(Charlene): "Oh, here we go. Why? Oh I don't know. Maybe because you killed a member of my family!"
(Mr. Lordi): "What? Explain us."
(Charlene): "After years of research, I'd finally track him. I'd forgive him for what he had done, and I was ready to see him again, but you have killed him! You have killed my brother! "
Initially, the trio does not understand, and after reflection, Mathias understood what she meant and opens big eyes, with amazement.
(Mathias): "You mean ...... Nox was your brother!"
Hella and Mr. Lordi are also amazed that the young man, and Charlene chuckles but growls in anger too.
(Charlene): "Exact. Nox was my brother. When he got married and had children, me and my mother we were happy for him, but one day, he became crazy because of the ancestral cube, and after he killed his wife and his children with, I wanted to find him, but he had already disappeared. Nox had found a great power, and you were here to stop him. He failed to destroy you, but I'm going to finish what he started!"
The demoness spreads her arms and unleashes her power. She looks up at the cloudy sky and growls ferociously. Red lightnings appear around her and start hitting the ground in front of the castle. The forest floor begins to shake, and rotten hands begin to spring up everywhere. Humanoids creatures with rotten skin, distorted faces, bright yellow eyes and ragged clothes, begin to out of the ground and move slowly in growling. Zombies! An army of zombies! Mathias remembered the zombies in the supermarket eight months ago, but these ones are even more horrible and terrifying. The creatures advance toward the castle, uttering grunts. Their horrible yellow eyes shine in the night.
A zombie rushes on Mathias, but the young man cut off the head with his metal claws. Mr. Lordi hit the ground with his ax, causing a powerful shockwave that throws many zombies against the rocks and trees. Hella uses her power to send energy blades with her hands and decapitated several zombies in few seconds. But despite that, the zombies continue to move forward. Even with the head cut off, their bodies continue to move. Mathias uses the powers of the Lordi Rider to send a burst of flames and three zombies are reduced to ashes. Hella is encircled but she gives violent strikes and acrobatic kicks on the zombies who are too ready, and she stabbed them with her daggers, while dodging their claws and fangs. Several zombies jumped on Mr. Lordi and manage to make him fall to the ground. The Monsterman growls and concentrates his power. He creates a shield of darkness around him, which disintegrated all the zombies that held him.
The zombies are far too numerous. They keep coming out of the ground by groups. The castle is completely surrounded, but fortunately reinforcements arrive. Awa, Mana and Kita came to help their friends. Awa raises a dead tree trunk by telekinesis, and throw it on a group of zombies. She becomes transparent as a ghost, to avoid being caught by the living dead. Mana spreads his arms and slams hard with his hands to send a wave of dark energy, which destroys all the zombies in its wake. Kita leaped into the air like a samurai, and cut several zombies into pieces. Kita continue to cut with his katana by making its way into the ranks of zombies, while avoiding to being bitten. Mathias knows that with a single bite, he will become one of them, but he did not want to. A zombie tries to bite him in the face, but Mathias pierces the chin violently and decapitates him immediately after.
Despite all the attacks of the brotherhood to defend, the zombies keep coming by mass, and nothing seems to kill them. The brotherhood of Lordi is completely surrounded, but continues to fight. Mr. Lordi gives blows of ax on all the zombies nearby. Mathias continues to cut them with metal claws, while Hella sends other energy blades in the ranks of creatures, to kill a maximum. A zombie halved continues to crawl on the ground, groaning. The forest floor is covered with the blood of the living dead.
Suddenly, the day begins to rise, despite the dark clouds, some sun rays can illuminate. The zombies begin to roar with pain, as if the light hurt them. The creatures then return under the ground and disappear as quickly as they appeared. Within minutes, all the zombies have disappeared, and the group of monsters stay perplexed after that. Charlene has also disappeared. She has surely flees during the fight.
(Mathias): "What's happened?"
(Hella): "This zombie attack was a diversion to allow to Charlene to escape. She is surely going to reach her true army to prepare the future war."
(Mr. Lordi): "Yes, and unfortunately, the worst is yet to come. If Charlene is the sister of Nox, her hatred for us is huge. I have never seen such power in a demon."
(Awa): "My lord, we do not have the choice. To combat such a power, our brotherhood will not be enough. We need more allies."
The Monsterman nods slowly, and everyone seems to agree. Mathias advance to speak.
(Mathias): "I know I'm still a human being, but I want to help. I can not stand idly by while my world and yours are in danger. I suggest Hella and I are going in search of new allies."
(Hella): "Good idea, and during this time, you can prepare the village of Soulaires against the next attack of demons, hoping that we come before them."
Mr. Lordi seems a bit hesitant, but he trusted his friends and he accepts.
(Mr. Lordi): "You are right, and then we have to stay here for Amen and Ox. We will need all possible help in this battle, which will surely be more difficult than the last."

New chapter, and first appearance of two new monsters.

Chapter 6: Take me to your Leader

Mathias and Hella are preparing to leave in search of new allies for the brotherhood. The power of the demons has become too great, and the monsters need also larger forces to have a chance to survive and restore peace. Outside the castle, Kita and Mana have gathered the zombie corpses into a pile and burn them. Despite the flames, some pieces still fidgeting. In the castle, Amen and Ox are lying in their rooms and regain their strength. Awa will stay to watch over them while Mr. Lordi will start preparing defenses in the village of Soulaires to counter the attack of the new demons. Mathias and Hella are in the large living room and get ready to leave in the vortex. Awa walks towards them and smiled, to wish them good luck.
(Awa): "Be careful my friends. The forces of evil have spread everywhere. I do not know what you'll find, but I know that your power will protect you against the dark forces."
(Mathias): "Thank you Awa. We will make sure to succeed, I promise."
(Hella): "It's time to go."
The vortex opened in front of Hella and Mathias, which hold by the hand. They throw a last look to Awa and Mr. Lordi, which their wish good luck, then, Mathias and Hella plunge into the vortex, which closes behind them.
Mathias and Hella fly again at full speed through the vortex. They wonder where they will come. An unknown and hostile dimension, or the total annihilation? Awa was right, the forces of evil are everywhere now, and they have to be very careful. A few seconds later, the couple finally arrived at their destination. They arrive on a cold metal floor, in a dark room. They are barely arrived they already guess where they are: in front of them, behind a glass wall, they see the earth from space. The young man is amazed in seeing this. When he was a child, Mathias had always dreamed of going into space, but he never thought to see it one day.
(Mathias): "But where are we?"
(Hella): "It looks like a human space station, but it seems abandoned. Come with me, we will explore the places, maybe we'll find something, or someone. But stay near of me. We do not know what may be hiding here."
Mathias nods and starts walking with Hella in the corridors of the station. It reigns a dead silent and the only sound is that of computers still running. The station is in darkness, but even more disturbing, where's the crew? By now, he should have seen someone. Mathias did not like it at all. This situation reminds him a lot the video game Dead Space, and he hope it does not exist in real life. On some walls, Mathias and Hella can see strange marks of claws and fangs. There's also blood marks on some walls. Several rooms were ransacked and many machines have been destroyed. Whoever did this must be very strong physically, or possess an arsenal of very powerful weapons.
In one room, they saw a man dressed as an astronaut, sitting on a chair and facing a control pad. Man is turn in the other sense, and do not move. Hella approaches to him and she turns him towards her. Mathias has almost back away: the man is dead, with a hole in the head, and his skin is completely rotten, so he died long ago.
(Mathias): "Holy shit! But who could do that?"
(Hella): "I do not know, but at least we know what is happen to the crew. Look."
In a corner of the room, several other dead astronauts. All were horribly mutilated. It's a real carnage. On a desk in the hands of a dead astronaut, Mathias finds a folder and gently takes it of the hands of the corpse. He opens the folder and begins to look at the files. One of them in particular caught his attention and he began to read it.
(Mathias): "Station Report 15. August 1, 1981.
Today is a historic day in the history of space exploration. Our radars detected an SOS issued by an unknown vehicle. Later, we were able to recover a strange vessel, which seemed to drift in the space since long. The damaged hull of the ship appears that he was hit by a shot. Inside, our team discovered an unknown but highly advanced technology. And above all, inside the cockpit, we discovered the bodies of two aliens, which seemed long dead. Surely asphyxiate by the lack of oxygen. The two bodies were taken to the laboratory of the station, and scientists will examine them. This discovery marks a big day: the discovery of the extraterrestrial life."
Mathias was really intrigued by reading this, but now understands that this space station was a research laboratory. But this does not explain all the dead astronauts and the devastation of the station. Meanwhile, in the same room, Hella notices that a message was recorded on one of the computers of the station, and is still working. Curious, she presses the button and starts the message. The computer screen lights up and the video message begins. Mathias comes beside Hella to watch the video. An astronaut, terrified, appears on the screen. Behind him, screams and fighting noises are heard. The astronaut starts talking with terror facing the screen.
(Astronaut): "Hallo earth, can you hear me? Come to our rescue! It’s a carnage! Something in the station is about to kill us all! These are the two aliens that we discovered in the ship! They are come back to life, and now they kill everyone in their path! Come help us, please! What is this..... Oh no ...... Stay away from me..... Please, NOOOOO!!"
A roar is heard and a humanoid silhouette leapt on the astronaut and blood squirts on the screen. It was too fast and Mathias and Hella have not had the time to see what it is. A moan of pain is heard and the message stopped at this moment.
After viewing the distress message, Mathias and Hella look in the eyes with the same puzzled look, but now they know what happened here.
(Hella): "Whoever was this thing that we have seen on the screen, he is probably still here."
A shiver runs through the back of Mathias. Suddenly, a growl is heard in one of the corridors of the station. It's too dark to see what it is, but the noise seems closer. Heavy footsteps are heard too. Mathias and Hella will hide behind a desk and do not make noise. Few seconds after, a humanoid creature of two meters high enters into the room with heavy and slow steps. Mathias and Hella watch discreetly to see how he looks. The creature looks like some kind of cyborg, with black helmet and a black metal armor, studded by pipes and buttons. A green face with red eyes appears behind the helmet visor. A zombie cyborg. In his hands, the cyborg holds a kind of big gun with futuristic and menacing aspect. The robotic monster breathes hard and noisily, and advanced of several footsteps into the room, looking slowly around him, as to scan the room. He starts talking with a grave and robotic voice.
(Magnum): "Unknown life form detected in the room. Standard search. Destruction mode activated. Find the intruders and destroy them by any means. G-Stealer, report."
He talks like a cyborg soldier. Then, a second creature comes into the room. He has a beastly look, with a warrior armor, claws on the hands and jaw full of sharp fangs, and also antennas on her head. He almost looks like Kita, maybe he is from the same species. The man beast begins to sniff the air and turns to the cyborg.
(G-Stealer): "I detected two different smells. One of the intruders is a monster, but the other is human. They are in this room, I feel it."
This monster named G-Stealer seems to have a highly developed flair, like a predator. Both aliens are surely those discovered in the ship adrift, and who have killed the astronauts on the station. Mathias and Hella decide to come out of their hiding and show themselves to the two creatures. The man beast growls of anger, and the cyborg takes a weapon, a kind of plasma cannon and shoots. Mathias and Hella dodge the shot.
(Magnum):” Life forms detected! Ready to fight!”
(Mathias): "Wait, we are not your enemies!"
G-Stealer jumps to Hella in roaring, but she strikes him and throws the monster against one of the control panels. Magnum sends a burst of plasma with his gun, but Mathias dodges the shot by throwing himself on the side. The young man out his claws and rushes towards the cyborg. Magnum tries to hit Mathias, but the young man is faster and managed to disarm the cyborg. Unfortunately, Magnum grabs Mathias by the throat and began to strangle him. The monster has a huge force, and Mathias fears that he will break the windpipe. Seeing this, Hella want to go to help Mathias, but G-Stealer jumps again on her and she dropped to the ground. The monster tried to bite her on the throat, but she holds the jaws with her hands. With a kick, Hella successfully reduced G-Stealer and sends him crashing against a wall. Mathias hits the head of the cyborg several times, but the monster seems not affected by the blows. Magnum continues to strangling Mathias, and he turns one of his arms to a circular saw. Mathias paled with fright.
(Magnum): "Life form caught! Ready to eliminate."
But Hella comes and hits the cyborg with all her might, in the chest. The monster has made few steps back, but does not fall to the ground. Hella helps Mathias to get up, but the two monsters seem to still want to fight. Hella has had enough.
(Hella): "Enough! We do not want to fight! We're looking for allies to help us. Our worlds are in danger, and it is the fate of the entire universe that is at stake! By the power of the Monsterican Connection, we need your help!"
Hearing this, Magnum and G-Stealer have stopped and they see she is sincere. They stop to fight and want to know more.
(G-Stealer): "What? Can you explain us?"
(Mathias): "Peace between monsters and humans is threatened, we must at all costs to restore the peace, or the whole world will be plunged into confusion and war. Me and Hella we must again use the power of our love to overcome evil, but our love is not enough powerful, we need more forces."
Magnum and G-Stealer exchanged looks rather perplexed. The cyborg is speaking again.
(Magnum): "We have heard about the war of the monsters and demons. We also heard of this power, the Monsterican Connection. I thought it was just a legend, but my scanner detects that you and the female monster are in a perfect love."
(Hella): "But what are you doing in this human station?"
(G-Stealer): "I was a soldier of Mu Arae, and Magnum was a mercenary hired to help our army. I was team with him, but in a battle, our ship was damaged and we drifted in the space. The lack of oxygen eventually killed us. But humans of this station spotted our signal and recovered our ship. The scientists have surely performed experiments on us because we came back to life."
(Magnum): "But as soldiers, we thought we were captured, and we killed all humans of the station in a fit of rage. Since then, we're stuck here, but we seek a way to go in. search our allies and continue the fight."
(Hella): "Listen, one of the members of your army is still alive. His name is Kita, and he is our ally and a loyal friend. Magnum. G-Stealer. You seem to be very powerful. You say that you want to continue the fight, well, join our brotherhood. We need soldiers like you to bring peace and destroy the demons."
Magnum and G-Stealer seem a little hesitant at first glance. The cyborg looks at Mathias and Hella who hold by the hand, and senses that everything they said is true. He slowly walks towards them, and they expect the answer. He looks at them in the eyes as if he scans them.
(Magnum): "You are brave, strong, and the love between you is very sincere. I am perhaps a machine, but I also feel these things. I agree to trust you, and help in your cause."
(G-Stealer): "If Magnum comes, I come too. I do not especially trust strangers, but if the universe is in danger, it is our duty of soldiers to react."
Mathias and Hella have smiled and thanked the two aliens. Magnum and G-Stealer must prepare for combat and will join Mathias and Hella later, but they promise they will come, and the couple trusts them. The Scarbie opens a new vortex, and enters inside with Mathias.

New chapter. Mathias and Hella managed to recruit two new allies, but now, it's the first appearance of another monster.

Chapter 7: Kalmageddon

In the dimension of the new demons, Charlene joined her troops, hidden in the shadows, looking forward to the time of the attack. Their red eyes gleaming glow in the dark and their growls are heard. On the rocky ground, Charlene creates a sort of giant pentagram, with her dark energy arm. Then, the great eye of fire suddenly appears behind her. The demons back off frightened, and Charlene turns to the fire eye and greets it with respect.
(Charlene): "The vortex will be ready soon. I will create the last symbols to activate it, it will not be very long. If all goes as planned, the vortex should lead our troops in front of the village of this young human named Mathias."
(Fire eye): "Perfect, but I must warn you. Mathias and Hella are going to explore the distant dimensions, looking for new allies to help them. They must not return alive from this expedition, is that clear?"
(Charlene): "I'll take care of this, personally."
(Fire eye): "Good. For the moment, everything goes as planned. Our attacks against these humans filth worked well. The humans will tear each other, and they accuse the monsters of our attacks. The alliance will soon be dead, and this death will announce our rebirth."
Charlene cruelly sneers and agrees with the fire eye. This one disappears in smoke, while Charlene remains with her army of demons, in the darkness. The demonic queen makes grind her claws, and with a predatory smile, she sneers by knowing in advance the way she will treat the couple of Monsterican Connection.
(Charlene): "Soon Nox, my brother, you will be avenged."
**********
Meanwhile, Mathias and Hella are again through the tunnel of the vortex, side by side. In their first trip, they were in a gloomy space station, where they met two new monsters which are become their allies: Magnum, a cyborg zombie very strong and with a lot of futuristic weapons, and G-Stealer, a alien humanoid, pretty wild but powerful and agile. These two monsters are a good start and they will be useful to fight the army of Charlene. But for the second trip, Mathias and Hella do not know where they will land. The trips in the vortex are always dangerous, especially when you're not sure where you want to go. But Hella chooses to listen to her mind and let it guide her, she knows that her instinct will make the right choice.
The tunnel opens into a new world and the couple enters inside. This time, they are not in space, but in a rocky plain sinister, with some dead trees. Mathias and Hella watch this new world, with astonishment. The sky is red, and clouds are dark. Apart dead trees, there is no plants or any form of life. Mathias did a footstep and heard a crack under his foot. When he looks down, he realizes he stepped on a skull. He swallowed.
(Mathias): "What a nightmarish landscape! Who could live here?"
(Hella): "In my opinion, not someone happy. There are many worlds, and some are still unknown. This one seems dead for hundreds of years. I do not see who could survive here."
Mathias is agrees. This dimension seems to have been devastated by a cataclysm that destroyed all life. The couple began to walk north, but the immense plain seems to have no end. For several hours, Hella and Mathias walked, but they find nothing. A rocky desert, endless and lifeless. Later, the sun begins to set, and they decide to stop for a rest. Hella lighting a fire, because the temperature is very cold. Mathias finds a small lake and wants to drink some water, but the water has a strange reddish color. He dips his finger and tasted the water, but he spits out immediately.
(Mathias): "Yuck! It's horrible! The water has a taste of rust!"
(Hella): "Nothing should be edible in this dimension, that's why there is no life."
Too bad. The couple decided to get some sleep before hitting the road. But when the sun goes down and the moon appears in the sky, strange noises are heard in the air. Mathias and Hella listen attentively and they wondered what was going on. Mathias and Hella get up and head cautiously behind the small hill near them. On the other side, they see strange tracks that go in a straight line towards the north. Tire tracks. The ground appears to have burned under the traces. Something happened here, few hours ago. But who, or what? So, there's life in this dimension, but it is a good news, because Mathias and Hella do not know what kind of creature could live here. Hella kneels to touch the trail, but she withdrew her hand quickly. The ground is hot. A rotten meat smell begins to invade the air. In the distance behind another hill, one red and strange light begins to appear and appears headed for the couple. A motor sound is heard. A powerful unknown roar is also heard in the distance and resonates in the air. Mathias and Hella had never heard a sound like this, but it is really terrifying. Hella looks carefully and seems to see flames emerge from behind the next hill. Her look changes and she takes her dagger and speaks to Mathias without turning to him.
(Hella): "Mathias, go and hide, now!"
(Mathias): "But what ....."
(Hella): NOW! "
Her voice was authoritative but not angry against the young man, rather protector. Mathias obeys and returns towards the campfire, in running. When he arrives, he hides behind a rock and waits with some anxiety. What was that red light? And why Hella seemed so worried? This does not bode well, thinks the young man, but he obeys to Hella and remains hidden. Several minutes passed, and the silence seems to income. It's quiet. Too quiet. Suddenly a roaring engine sound is heard and an explosion of flames sounded behind the hill. Mathias sees a figure projected into the air from the other side of the hill and crashed to the ground several meters away from him. It's Hella. Mathias rushes to see if she is okay. The Scarbie groans in pain and rises up with the help of the young man.
(Mathias): "Hella, you're okay? What it was?"
(Hella): "I'm fine, but I've never seen this before. I think we are dealing with a Rider."
Mathias looks at her and seems puzzled. A Rider? What is that?
(Hella): "Mr. Lordi told me about these monsters. They are neither alive nor dead. They roam the worlds in search of souls to devour. Riders have lost their humanity. They feel no pain, no fear, nor death. Some claim that these are the soldiers of the grim reaper."
A powerful terrifying roar reverberates in the air and something emerges from behind the hill. The shape leaped into the air with a powerful engine noise, and lands on the floor, at several meters of the couple. A kind of black motorcycle with a skull-shaped hood with horns. Small flames out through the eyes of the skull and through the pipes of the motorcycle. The motorcycle has spiky and rusted plates. It looks like a motorcycle of hell. And on the vehicle is sits a truly terrifying monster, which turns slowly his head to Mathias and Hella.
He is tall, dressed in a black leather suit bristling with spikes and chains, but the most terrifying is his face of living dead, with gray skin and rotten, and dirty long white hair, and a look of killer. It's a zombie biker. The monster gives off a horrible smell of sulfur around him. When he looks at them in the eyes, Mathias and Hella feel a strange feeling, as if the death glare pierced them and scrutinizing their souls.
The biker down from his motorcycle and stands face to Mathias and Hella while remaining calm. In his hand he holds a long metal chain. Under his feet, the ground blackened as if it was burning. Then he starts talking with a deep, dark and inhuman voice.
(Kalma): "Who are you and what are you doing in my territory? Speak, before I devour your souls."
(Hella): "I'm Hella, and here Mathias, my boyfriend. We are the couple of the Monsterican Connection, and we are on a mission to find new allies to fight the demons and restore peace between monsters and humans."
The biker changes of expression when he hears this, and seems less hostile to them, and spoke again.
(Kalma): "So the legend is true. The power of love between a human and a monster is real. And even the great war has reach this lost world."
(Hella): "But who are you, and why did you attack me?"
The biker growls and turns to look at the red sky before him.
(Kalma): "My name is Kalma, and I have lived here for hundreds of years. Once I was human, but I forgot how I died. I know I woke up here like a zombie resurrected. I don’t remember of more details. I don't even remember of my real name. This world is called Tuonela, and it's a place out of time, or the souls of the dead wander for eternity and I pass my time to hunt and devour them. I felt your presence when you arrived. I heard about the war that ravaged Lapland, but I never paid attention. And you say you need help, right? And why should I trust you?”
Kalma pointed his finger towards Hella in saying this, and his voice starts to become aggressive and threatening. Hella remains calm and do not try to be intimidated. Then Kalma turns to Mathias.
(Kalma): "And you, human? Why risk your life for someone who is not even like yourself? Why take part in a war which initially was not concerning you? Are you sure this is fate you wanted?"
Mathias remains brave and nods to that response. Kalma seems to try to test them or frighten them. His dark gaze pierces the souls and seems to scrutinize them to try to guess their secret fears. Mathias advances to talk to the biker.
(Mathias): "Listen Kalma. Hella is not like me, but I love her with all my heart, and she loves me for what I am. Our love has managed to destroy the first demons, but their power grew and we need more help. Can you help us?"
Kalma turns and begins to chuckle darkly. This seems make him fun, even if it's no laughing matter. Then he turned back to the young man.
(Kalma): "You have courage to talk to me like this, and without trembling. But we, Riders, we are never concerned about the wars. I do not see why I should help you, then that's not my fight."
(Mathias): "But you are from this universe!"
The young man said this with a loud voice and without fear to the zombie biker. Hella is not surprised at the reaction of Mathias, and is agrees with him. Kalma turned to Mathias with a look rather upset. No one had ever stood up to him like that. Kalma advances towards Mathias and stops right in front of him. Hella remains calm but cautious, and Mathias looks at Kalma into the eyes, staying brave and not looks away. After a few seconds, Kalma sneers, and puts his hand, friendly, on the shoulder of Mathias.
(Kalma): "Yeah, you have a great courage, for a human, and I admire this. You really have to love Hella and your world to take such risks. My heart is made of dust and ash, so I can not feel feelings like love, but you, Mathias, you're right. This is not necessarily my fight, but it's also my world, and I am also concerned as you and Hella. So be it. I'll help you to save your world. I still have to prepare myself. I will join you later."
Mathias and Hella are happy of the answer of Kalma, and re-enter the vortex to continue their mission, hoping to succeed before the arrival of the new demons on the earth.

[Shadow Hound]

Awww is it weird I wanna hug him? He seems kinda unhappy too somehow, like I got a sad vibe from him too (hugs Kalma)
But yay mythological references you know I actually completely forgot about tuonela. I might make that a world in my monster tamers series
-Amari the hellhound

[Ghostrider93]

As Kalma is a living death and he lives in a kind of hell for centuries, I wanted to show that he has lost all his humanity, even if it still has a bit to the bottom of him.
If you want hug him, you can.
Kalma is yours, Hella is mine.

[Shadow Hound]

You can have her. Kalma is mine ^^ (hugs) he just needs some love is all and I will freely give it. Though he is a zombie....eh who the heck cares hes awesome ^^ (hugs him some more).
And I dont really mean to be nitpicky and I really mean this in the best way possible. Theres one big thing thats kinda getting to me about this story: lack of other character development. I get it that this is mostly about mathias and hella and thats cool but what about the others? You see these two grow in their love for one another and you see some comradery between the others but we really dont know what their ambitions are or what they're gonna do when all this is over. Im not saying do a full blown character study but a look, even a peek into their minds would actually be a breath of fresh air. What do they think? How do they feel? And most importantly what do they hope to get out of all this? I mean this in the nicest way possible and not really a criticism but more like a tip. Makes the story a little more appealing to the readers so everyones happy ^^
-Amari the hellhound
P.S.: holy crap that was the most analytical review ive ever read for anything!

New chapter.

Chapter 8: Magistra Nocte

While Mathias and Hella went exploring the distant dimensions, seeking new allies for the Brotherhood, Mr. Lordi and Awa oversee operations on Earth and prepare defenses around the village of Soulaires. At the request of the Monsterman, the village was evacuated and its inhabitants were refugees in the neighboring town, at several kilometers. Defense walls should be built around the village to prevent the army of the new demons to advance. But is that walls can stop them? To help in this task, Awa has used her powers to summon an army of ghouls, who began building the walls of defenses, with the help of Mana, Ox and Amen. The Pharaoh and the Minotaur have resumed their strengths and wanted to help too.
Awa joins Mr. Lordi on the roof of the town hall, and observes the operations with him. The young vampire countess seems anxious and Mr. Lordi has noticed and turned to her.
(Awa): "I'm worried about Mathias and Hella. We may have been wrong to encourage them to go exploring isolated dimensions."
(Mr. Lordi): "It was their own choice, and I trust them. We must continue to believe, and our confidence will accompany them to the end. Their power and their strength will protect them, they have always done."
Awa smiled at Mr. Lordi and continues to hope. Kita arrives on the roof of the town hall and comes in front of Mr. Lordi and Awa. He seems worried and did not stop to look at a small virtual screen integrated on his armor wrist.
(Awa): "What is happening Kita? You look worried."
(Kita): "I was on patrol around the area to try to identify possible infiltration attempts by the demons, and my detector spotted abnormal climate changes in the sky, just above the village."
The three monsters look up to heaven, and indeed, the clouds are becoming larger, and red lightnings are becoming numerous and unstable. The sky turned red and it's as if he was spitting fire. Mr. Lordi observed the phenomenon and frowns with a growl of worry.
(Mr. Lordi): "I had not seen this phenomenon for centuries. It usually occurs in the concentrated energy use, in order to open a portal."
(Awa): "What kind of portal?"
(Mr. Lordi): "I don't remember. But this tells us one thing: This is not just an invasion. Charlene plans to open a portal above Soulaires. I don't know in why, but it's certainly a very bad omen for us and humanity. We will have to stand ready at the appropriate time. This world must not suffer the same fate as ours."
*********
Meanwhile, the big mission continues and should certainly not stop. Mathias and Hella have found a new ally in Kalma, a zombie biker really sinister with a cold stare, but that seems fair and honest, even for a monster like him. For now, the couple of the Monsterican Connection was in a creepy space station and a dead dimension. So, what is the rest of the program? Mathias and Hella will soon to find out. But during the journey into the vortex, they also think to their friends and the invasion of Charlene. What will happen if the demons manage to...... No, they do not need to think about these things, do not be destabilized by fear and stay focused on the mission. The vortex opens again and the couple arrives at its new destination. Mathias is really starting to get used to traveling in the vortex, but he knows he must always be on guard. The world of monsters is vast, but it can also be very dangerous, especially to humans.
This time, Mathias and Hella are arrived in a strange room, whose walls and floor are covered with plates of rusty metal. Several other corridors are scattered around them, and lead to other rooms that also seem sinister. It reigns a big heat, as if they were in a forge. The couple approaches of a guardrail and looks down. Flames burn continuously at the bottom of a rocky pit. It almost sounds like hell, or they are in a dimension that does not further. In the distance, they hear disembodied and sinister screams that resonate in arising corridors or some remote rooms. Hella is not impressed, but Mathias is a little uncomfortable, but it does not show and stays brave. They decide to go in one of the corridors and explore the next room. The only sounds heard are gas leaks coming out of large pipes hanging from the ceiling, and also the sound of small explosions of flames in the pit. Mathias and Hella know they have nothing to fear because they are too high for that the flames could reach them. The next room or they come is even more sinister: a torture room. The ground is impregnated with dried blood. The majority of the instruments of torture are rusty and do not appear to have been used for a long time, but nevertheless, on a wall, several corpses were crucified with nails to the hands and feet. The bodies are decomposed, but the pain must have been excruciating for them. Mathias and Hella advance towards another body lying on a metal table, and has several cuts all over the body. But when they approach, the corpse comes back to life before them and moaned in pain. Mathias and Hella are surprised. He grabs Mathias by the shirt and told her about a weak and suffering voice.
(Man): "Please........ Help me......."
(Mathias): "Who did this to you?"
(Man): "The ........... Warrior with the iron mask ......... we can not escape her....... She comes from hell......You will die here....."
The man gasps for a few seconds and dies in front Mathias and Hella. "You will die here," was the last sentence of this man, and it continues to resonate in the minds of Mathias. The young man looks Hella in the eyes, which is just as surprised as him.
(Mathias): "I wonder who is this warrior from hell with an iron mask whose he spoke."
(Hella): "Some legends tell about warriors from an ancient age, who should return from the afterlife to haunt the dimensions, and become powerful and ruthless guards. We are probably in the territory of a guardian."
The guardians are very powerful monsters, and one of them would make a valuable ally for the brotherhood. Mathias and Hella decide to continue exploring the grounds and try to find this warrior. Mathias noticed that above some fire pits, creatures crawling on the walls. Creatures-like emaciated corpses without eyes, a dirty and rotten skin, and utters little strange cries. These creatures are blind and can see where they going by the sounds, such as ultrasound of bats. This place is almost similar to the strange world of Silent Hill, a horror movie that Mathias watching it on television a few years ago. This place is like a kind of hell, or all sorts of creatures can live, or die. In seeing the creatures, Mathias has a lump in the throat and feels uncomfortable, and stays close to Hella, who remains calm. In the next corridor, they notice that the walls are covered with brands, such as traces of blade. There are also some traces of dried blood on the floor. Noises are heard at the corner of the corridor, as if someone knocked on the metal with a hammer. Mathias and Hella arrive in a slightly smaller room, which looks like a forge as in the middle ages. Dozens of weapons are hooked on the walls (swords, axes, spears ......), and in one corner, a tank filled with molten lava in boiling. But in the back of the room, they saw a dark figure in forging a sword, on a workbench. They are too far away to see her well, so they decide to approach, but with caution. The creature does not seem to have seen them. But when they are closer, the creature slowly rises up the head and without turning to them, begins to speak.
(Enary): "Well, well, well...... Intruders."
Mathias and Hella are ready. The creature stops to work and turns to them. She is a woman, great is strong, with long blond hair, white skin and wearing armor. Her face is hidden by an iron mask with spikes, but her gaze is that of a killer. She is a Valkyrie, a guardian of Valhalla. The female warrior growls of anger and clenches her fists.
(Enary): "How dare you enter my world? You are hurry to die?"
(Hella): "Listen, we're not here to threaten you. We have come to ask for your help."
But the Valkyrie sneers and makes appear a large sword in her hand before to leap toward the couple. Mathias and Hella leap to the side, and the female warrior hits the ground or they were one second ago.
(Mathias): "Stop! You must listen to us ......"
(Enary): "I, Enary, guardian of the Valhalla, I only listen to myself!"
Enary? So it’s her name. She does not listen and tries to decapitate Mathias, but the young man lowers his head quickly. He felt the blade of the sword rubbing the top of his hair. The warrior tries a new attack but this time Mathias has countered the attack with his claws. The Valkyrie is surprised, but she did not give up. With a furtive attack, Enary hits Mathias in the face and propels him on the ground. The young man is almost stunned. Hella comes to Enary, with her daggers, and a duel starts between the two female monsters.
Hella dodges all the blows of swords given by Enary but the Scarbie will not attack, she simply to defend herself. Enary manages to strike Hella with the handle of the sword and throws her against a wall. Enary prepares to skewer Hella, but Mathias arrives and disarms the Valkyrie very quickly. Hella hits Enary and knocked her to the ground. The Valkyrie rubs her face but can not rise up because Mathias threatened her with his claws.
(Enary): "Okay, you defeated me. Now you will kill me, right?"
(Mathias): "I will not kill you, I just want you to listen to us."
Enary does not understand. She seems almost disturbed to not die like a true warrior, but she agrees to listen. Mathias helps her to rise up and gives him back her sword, hoping she will not try again to attack them. But Enary puts her sword in her sheath attached to her belt, and listens to them.
(Hella):"Enary, this dimension is not the Valhalla, obviously. So what a guardian like you doing here?"
(Enary): "Formerly I was a great warrior, one of the best. But one day I was killed in a fierce battle, and with all the heroic actions and brave I had done during my life, I was sent to the Valhalla, worthy to become a guardian. With my violence and my passion for fight, I committed barbaric and cruel acts, unworthy of my rank, and I lost my honor and my dignity to the other guardians. I had to isolate myself in this lost dimension and since, I'm alone. And you?"
(Mathias): "My name is Mathias and I am with Hella, my only true love. We are on a mission to the future of the entire universe. The demons came back even more powerful and threatening to invade my world. Their power is too great, and even our power can not contain them. We need help, like you, for example, to help us win the war and keep the peace between both worlds."
The Valkyrie turned and stroking the blade of one of her swords hanged on the wall in front of her, with a look of nostalgia.
(Enary): "There was a long time I did not participate in a war. I heard about the Lapland War, and the battle that took place eight months ago in your world, human. You have defeated the first demons with the power of love which unites a monster and a human, the Monsterican Connection."
Mathias and Hella nodded together, and Enary sneers again.
(Enary): "For my part, I never believed in the power of love. How can love it stop the war? But you seem to be very close."
(Hella): "You are strong Enary, but something bothers you, I feel it. You were a guardian of the Valhalla, banished by her brothers and sisters because of your aggressive temperament, and today you looking for a way to regain your honor. We can help you with that, by joining our cause. You can do this for us, but above all, do it for yourself."
The Valkyrie listens carefully, but seems to hesitate a bit. Enary seems to be the kind of warrior to not want help and want to solve her problems alone. But given the circumstances and the proposal rather honest, she makes a decision and turned to Mathias and Hella, without a smile, but with a dark and determined look.
(Enary): "I have always considered the humans as weak and inferior, but by seeing you, Mathias, I realized that I was wrong. Hella, you talk like a true warrior, wise and respectable, and I can only bow before this wisdom that I do not have myself. I'll help you, but before all, I do it for myself and my honor."
Enary accepts to join the fight. The Brotherhood grows, and his power too. Good, more they will be many, and more likely they are to help their friends and to defeat Charlene. Mathias and Hella are happy to the answer of Enary, who takes her weapons and preparing herself for the battle. The vortex opens again, and Mathias and Hella enter inside.

[Shadow Hound]

Yay more to read so happy I'll be honest I think writing enary is gonna be hard for me to do when the time comes.
Sorry if I upset you with my last review
-Amari the hellhound

[Ghostrider93]

It's okay, no problem, you did not upset me . I admit I'm focusing a lot on Mathias and Hella and their relationship, being one of the central points of the trilogy. I also admit that I did not really developed some characters as some people can hope, but I try my best to give them as much importance in the saga. I don't want to neglect characters.

[Shadow Hound]

But this story is wonderful and I love it to ribbons. One thing I do like is the frequent updates. I'll be honest I get impatient with myself while writing my chapters and they take too long to finish, even though I know the finished chapter will be worth it. I also wish other people besides me commented on this because it really is good
-Amari the hellhound

[Ghostrider93]

Thank you very much , but it seems that only you noticed and like my stories, for now.

[Shadow Hound]

Well there could be others reading and not commenting some will do that.

New chapter. After recruiting new allies, Mathias and Hella trying to enjoy a bit of respite, together. But unintentionally Hella goes back into a past she would have preferred to forget.

Chapter 9: Dark Memories

In the human world, the situation becomes critical. More and more people are beginning to make manifestations and claim that the monsters leave the earth and never come back, accusing them that all that happens is their fault. The alliance between the two worlds is about to being broken completely, and demons are prepared to succeed in their plan. Kita, Awa and Mana are in the house of Mathias, and when they see the news on TV, they are not reassured. The alien starts to think.
(Kita): "I sincerely hope that Mathias and Hella will come back very soon, the situation becomes untenable."
(Awa): "I trust them, they will succeed."
(Mana): "It would be better. If ever our alliance with humans is broken, the demons will have no trouble to invade our worlds one by one, and destroy them all."
*********
Meanwhile, the mission of Mathias and Hella was a success: they managed to recruit four powerful allies to help them: Magnum, a very powerful cyborg and gifted to futuristic weapons. G-Stealer, an alien of the same race as Kita, but wilder. Kalma, a zombie biker, who has really dark powers. And Enary, a Valkyrie, expert in the use of melee weapons. With such allies, the Brotherhood will strengthen his power, that's for sure.
Mathias and Hella have give appointment to all their new allies, in Lapland. When the couple arrived in Lapland by the vortex, they are in the middle of a snow-covered pine forest. Mathias feels a certain sense of nostalgia. He had not returned in Lapland since the day or he and Hella have bound forever eight months ago. What a strange feeling to be here again. Hella turns to him.
(Hella): "You are not cold?"
The young man slowly shook his head. Mathias and Hella begin to walk on a rocky but clear ground. The snow started to melt slowly in some places and the climate is a little warmer. Several feet away, at the bottom of a crevasse, several humanoid creatures similar to ghouls with gray and dirty skin, eat the corpse of a dead reindeer. Blood spurts everywhere and the fangs of the creatures tear the flesh like paper. The creatures have not seen them, Mathias is a little worried by seeing them, but Hella is not worried about these monsters.
(Hella): "These are crawlers. They are blind, but they spot their prey through the noise. They live underground, but at night they come out to hunt."
(Mathias): "They look dangerous."
(Hella): "They are, but don’t worry, the crawlers are intelligent creatures. They know who we are and what is our power in the world of monsters."
When the couple passes before the crevasse, the crawlers hear them and raise their heads toward them. But instead of attacking, the creatures bow with respect, as if they felt the power of the Monsterican Connection in Mathias and Hella. "It's really incredible," Mathias thought. The couple walks away and leaves the creatures to their meal. Mathias and Hella continue to walking on the rocky path that overlooks the valley and to a corner of the path, the snow-covered valley stretching out before them. Away in the middle of the great valley, they can see a frozen lake, and the stars are reflected in the ice. With the dark sky, the stars and the northern lights, the landscape is beautiful and Mathias contemplates with fascination. Hella holds him by the hand and looking at the landscape with him, and also smiled. Slowly, she puts her head on his shoulder and stands close to him. Mathias puts his arm around the waist of Hella and continues to look at the northern lights in the sky of Lapland.
(Mathias): "This place is really beautiful."
(Hella): "Yes, it is. If we want to keep it that way, we must stop Charlene and the demons."
Mathias knows she's right and nods slowly. Then, they saw several creatures in the distance, walking in the plains. Mathias is stunned: a herd of mammoths, supposed to have disappeared since prehistoric times. The huge creatures advance slowly in the snow, and one of them pushes a powerful trumpeting that echoes in the valley. The Lapland remained so long isolated from the rest of the world that some creatures that humans think missing, continued to exist here, away from humans and their impact on nature. The young man can not believe what he sees and is amazed. Hella and Mathias look the Mammoths which continue their way into the valley, and then, the couple decided to move somewhere else.
Later, Mathias and Hella arrive in another place of the forest, and in front of them, a ruined building which appears to have burned in a fire. For Mathias, it means nothing, but when Hella sees this building, her look change, as if she had seen a ghost. Mathias turns to her and wonders what she has. Hella begins to walk without a word, and Mathias follows her, worried.
(Mathias): "Hella? What happens?"
Hella did not respond and continues to walk. She stops among the ruins, with Mathias, who still does not understand. The Scarbie contemplates the ruins, with a sad look and almost terrified.
(Hella): "This place ........ I remember....... This is here that I'm born as a monster!"
Mathias opened wide eyes, and gapes. Hella had not returned in this place since she had destroyed it by triggering the fire, eight months ago when she has meet Mr. Lordi for the first time, and she hoped never to return here. They begin to walk among the ruins, but there remains not much. Yet Hella looks around her and seems to remember each piece as they were, before being destroyed by the fire. Hella remembers several components: tubes, the operating table, the experience of living dolls, Ruiz..... . She also remembers more distant and painful memories when she was still human, the day she was kidnapped by Ruiz, locked for years in a dark and cold cell, tortured and finally killed for being cut and transformed into a living doll. All these flashbacks in the mind of Hella, and this pain that she feels again in her heart. Mathias looks at Hella remember her past, but seeing her so sad, he feels sorry for her. It is true that Hella has never talk about her past, and may be for a good reason. On the ground, the Scarbie finds a piece of paper torn and half-burnt, but she can still read something readable on it. "Scarbie Project."
Seeing that, she sheds tears of sadness but also anger, and she crushes the piece of paper in her hand. Mathias approaches her and hugs her with love. Hella smiled to find some comfort, but she seems to blame herself.
(Hella): "I'm sorry Mathias. I should to tell you about all this."
(Mathias): "You do not have to be sorry Hella. If you do not want to tell me is that you had a good reason, and I understand. But, if you don't want to live with this past, you must to talk about it, to get rid once and for all. I know you can do it. Nobody should live with his most painful memories, otherwise they will destroy you. But I do not force you, the decision is yours."
He kisses Hella on the cheek in saying this, to comfort her. The Scarbie smiles and wipes the tear running down her cheek, then she thinks that as Mathias is her love of always, she owes nothing to hide him, and decides to tell him about her past life, when she was still human. They are both sitting on a large rock. Hella sits next to Mathias and begins to tell him everything, trying to forget that pain. To encourage her, Mathias holds her by the hand.
(Hella): "I was created by a mad scientist named Ruiz. His goal was to create human size living dolls, with rubber and human limbs. Twelve other girls were killed by this madman, and I was the thirteenth victim. I'm the only one who survived. When he brought me back to life with one of these infernal machines, memories are come to my mind, and I have felt hatred towards him. So I tortured and killed him as he did with me, and I've started a fire to destroy any trace of this man and what he had done. Then I though that I had no purpose in life, but at the same time, I was convinced that I had to find someone in my life, someone who could love me for what I am, and together we were destined to do great things. After, I met Mr. Lordi, and he told me all about the power of the Monsterican Connection, and that I will always have someone with me, to love me. And then I met you. And after that, you know what happened."
Hella talk about her past with difficult, but she starts to feel better, as if the pain had disappeared of her body and will never going to return. Mathias felt hatred for this man named Ruiz, but he did not show it in front of Hella. The Scarbie would wish to never remembering this horrible and painful past. She hugs Mathias in her arms and smiled to the young man, who did the same.
(Mathias): "I'm proud of you Hella. Ruiz deserved what happened to him. He was the real monster, and not you. By telling your past, you have allowed your mind to purge itself of this pain that haunted you since those eight months. I too thought I would never find love, but you are came in my life and since you've saved me, I have never stop loving you, and I will never stop. I love you Hella, and I want to live with you for the rest of my life. Our power has defeated Nox and we will do everything we can to defeat his evil sister."
(Hella): "I love you Mathias, and I know that together, we will succeed. I have no memory of my childhood and my life before my kidnapping and my rebirth, but even if I became a monster, it changes nothing. At first, I thought that with my appearance, I'd stay single forever, without purpose to my existence, but I met you, and that's the best thing that ever happened to me."
The young man wraps his arms around the size of Hella, for that she to be close to him as much as possible, and looks at her into the eyes, with love.
(Mathias): "You'll never be alone Hella. Never."
She smiled and blushes. Mathias is pleased to see Hella smiling again and be rid of this burden. This will make her stronger and further strengthens the link between it and Mathias. She gives him a kiss on the right cheek, then Mathias puts his lips to those of Hella, and kisses her with love. Hella locks her arms around the neck of Mathias to hang on, and the young man puts his arms around the waist of Hella, to maintain her close to him. During the kiss, the bond of their connection is strengthened even more and gets stronger, as if preparing for battle that will coming. After the kiss, Mathias and Hella decide to continue watching the northern lights in the night sky of Lapland, and enjoy this little moment of peace.
