《Darkest Hero》Fight Like Hell part 2

.
News had spread fast about the invasion as satellites high above in orbit and the few helicopter pilots crazy enough to get close to the city started streaming out the events unfolding for the world to see. Churches, temples and other places of worship the world over were filled with terrified people praying and hoping for salvation at what they perceived as the end of the world. One foolish reporter however was running for her life through the city, a camera in hand as she fled from a persuing swarm of demonic zombies.
She knew this was likely her end but she'd be damned if she wasn't going to report on this! "T-this is reporter Kristi Kang live from Yueii prefecture, we've b-been invaded by demons! T-there seems to be civil war going on too!" She gasped as the IMP trio of imps sprinted around the corner firing at something behind them. That something quickly revealed itself to be one of the bull demons that had taken out her car earlier if the chunk of tire hanging from its front teeth was an indication. "If you're seeing this send the military or something!" She shrieked as one of the imps barreled past her and fired at the oncoming demonic zombies.
"Alrighty human, let's get you out of here." The feminine looking Imp with a futuristic looking rifle grinned at her revealing a gap between her two front buck teeth. "Lucifer's girl contracted us to save humans in the city from the ferals. HONEY STOP MESSING AND BLAST THE FUCKER!"
"I'M TRYING!" A shorter imp snapped back as he tried and failed to hit the bull demon in anywhere other than its heavily armored face.
"WOOOOOO CAINE YEAH BABY! TAKES ME BACK TO COLLEGE DAYS!" The red and white spotted imp cackled as he unloaded several rounds into the zombie horde that had been chasing Kristi Kang through the city for the past ten minutes.
"C'mon. UA is doing evacuation so the heavy hitters don't have to worry 'bout civilian casualties." The female imp explained as she grabbed the reporters arm and started to tug her along. "BOYS MOVE YOUR ASSES NOW!"
"HOLD ON!" The red and white imp snapped waspishly while the shorter imp quickly rushed after them, more than willing to abandon dealing with the bull like demon to someone else.

"Let's go!" The short imp squeaked fearfully as they fled in the general direction of UA. Kristi gasped loudly as their path was blocked by another of the bull like demons, it's stubby nose snorted at the air and it's eyes narrowed into pinpricks. The imps opened fire upon it only for the amunition to plink harmlessly off of it's skull. The creature snarled loudly, pawing at the ground with its thick legs before opening its mouth and roaring as it charged forwards right before the ground around it was torn up by a large impact kicking up dust and obscuring the creature. A loud meaty thump was heard along with a strangled snarl of pain.
Shakily Kristi pointed the camera at the impact site and was shocked to see a green armored individual covered in scars stand up, absently stomping down on the creature they had landed on, pulverising it's skull. They looked around, left fist clenching as the right toted a gun large enough that it could house an adult curled up within its confines.
"R-right uh w-w-we should get her t-to safety." The buck toothed imp stuttered fearfully.
"W-who is that?" Kristi stuttered nervously.
"The Slayer." The red and white imp whispered nervously. "You don't fuck with this guy he was the one who killed the Satan of his old reality and kicked god in the balls, he's like Kratos on steroids."
The man, now identified as the Slayer barely batted an eye as they lifted the mutilated corpse and ditched it at the zombies that had followed IMP and the reporter. The impact of the heavy demon crushed several of them into meaty chunks and pinned three to the ground in the process. The imps ducked down fearfully. The Slayer paid them no mind, turning his attention to the large demon in the middle of the city before glancing down towards the cowering group and spoke a single raspy word. "Pamu."
"M-move? Y-yeah we c-can m-m-move." The female imp stuttered fearfully before grabbing Kristi by the arm and dragging her to the side. The other two dove to the other side allowing the Slayer to pass unhindered by them on his bloody swathe towards the largest demon in the city.
"I think I just crapped myself." The red and white imp whispered to themselves.
"Gross Blitz." The short imp uttered.

"Shit it Moxxie or I'll be revoking your health care!" Blitz snapped.
"Sir, that's one bandaid and a shot of scotch one every six months." Moxxie deadpanned. "Caine I gave Millie my last one because they got cut from the glass you tried throwing at Verossica which just hit the door."
"Shush!" Millie hissed nervously, never taking her eyes off the Slayer as he trudged past them, loading a large green sphere with darker green rings encasing it into the breach of the weapon. With a whirling hum the weapon sparked to life, green energy crackled up its frame as a green glow emanated from the barrel. The Slayer pointed the weapon in the general direction of the large demon rampaging in the middle of the city and pull the trigger.
A crescendo of beeps and crackles filled the air before a burst of steam saw a large green bolt shoot forth from the barrel of the weapon. A few moments later it impacted the side of the massive demon, rending flesh and bone armor from its arm with an explosion of green light. It howled in pain and anger as the Slayer sprinted off towards the creature, already loading another shot as he did so.
"W-we need to go before they notice us." Moxxie gulped nervously, tugging at the reporter's arm before noticing the camera. "Uh....is that live?"
"Y-yeah." Kristi stuttered.
"Fuck." Blitzo groaned as he facepalmed. "Stolas is going to kill me then lucifer is gonna resurrect me and Lilith will kill me."
Izuku sighed with relief as the last civilians were escorted out of the tunnels Cementos had made, most of 1A had been put on rearguard duty while 1B had been sent along with 2B to protect the civilians. There was no 2A since Aizawa had expelled his entire class the year before so there was no backup for those guarding the tunnels. Occasionally a demon managed to weave it's way through the gun emplacements and other defences that had been set up and got in close but it was usually very swiftly cut down by either one of the present cenobites or Vaggie's spear. Charlie was trying to help Aizawa co-ordinate IMP, Alister, Daisy and the Slayer.
"What the fuck?" Mina uttered while looking skyward. Many of 1A quickly looked up, expecting something more horrible than before when they caught sight of a shimmering amber barrier covered in native american various symbols encasing the city in a dome.
"Is that an anti-weird barrier?" Vaggie asked with a raised eyebrow. "Who in Caine's name set that up so quickly?"
Snipe could only stare blankly at the large muscular creature before him as it picked up yet another struggling feral imp by the throat. The demon snarled as it tried to swipe at the Nomu, its claws falling shy of their target. Without batting an eye the Nomu flipped the demon so it was face down and plunged it's fist into the Imp's rear end before with a swift tug it pulled the creature's intestines out. It twitched in agony as it let loose a loud shriek moments before the Nomu drove it's skull into the ground killing it.
Snipe shuddered fearfully as he eyed the trail of carnage the Nomu had left in its wake. So many bodies. "Hey uh, that big Nomu thing just wiped a bunch of em Imps." He spoke into his earpiece.
"Yeah, it's been doing that all over the city, try to ignore it." Aizawa's groaned of resignation was his response. Snipe's eye twitched bellow his mask before he quickly checked how many more bullets he had left, no sense in letting some lab grown monster out preform him after all.
Of all the horror it had inflicted upon those who witnessed it's trail of destruction, the Nomu remained unaware, all it knew was it was Mr Squishy, the little one demanded it trip the demon's butts out and the little one don't lie. With these facts in mind it continued on with its objective, nothing else mattered but making the little one happy.
Bakugo groaned in pain as he sat up and looked around, wherever the hell he was sure as fuck wasn't the sports stadium or wherever the fuck that hero killing bastard had them flung to.
The area looked more like a garden had been tended to with a can of green spray paint and a gardener on acid than anything. Looking up it was now that he noticed the short fat guy looking at him. "The fuck are you?"
The short balding man with black hair and brown eyes smiled softly as he gave a soft chuckle. "Oh, I'm Danny DeVito, so anyway, welcome to hell."
