//------------------------------// // Grimstone // Story: Nights: Discharge // by Tunefulsubset72 //------------------------------// " AAAAAAHHHHH" Chrysalis screamed as she trembled with her decapitated arms in front of her. Then as she continued to scream the tops of them began bubbling only to spring to life as her new hands seconds later. " That's new," Grimstone said in a impressed tone. " You learn a couple of things when your body parts get lopped off multiple times." A gasping Chrysalis commented. " Let's get this over with just give her back and you get to keep your head on your shoulders this time." A very bored Grimstone ordered. " No it's time we finish this once and for-" Chrysalis began giving her speech before she was interrupted by the sound of cloth being torn to pieces only to look down to and see I shallow five clawed slash mark in her pants. " The next cut won't be so shallow." Grimstone said in a very annoyed attitude. " How dare you?" Chrysalis yelled as she charged Grimstone with her blade hands flailing. However her attack was to little success. As soon as she reached him he disappeared and then next appeared on the tip of her blade. " Is that all?" Grimstone said laughing as he grabbed the blade in one of his clawed hands and snapped it in half. Chrysalis let out a gasp of pain as she was being lifted and slammed into the ground repeatedly. " Please no more." Chrysalis managed to let out after the pummeling she took. " Oh now the iron queen begs for mercy?" Grimstone said as a twisted sadistic smile over took his face." Sorry your majesty but I don't know the word mercy after what you did to me." After he let out the last word a cloud of white mist enveloped him. Once it cleared out he was covered in scars from various tools. The most gruesome was the one above his right eye. It lead from the top middle of his forehead all the way to his temple. " Now time for me to repay you!" He yelled as he got ready to slash her face to ribbons. " Please don't do it...." A small and tired voice let out. I looked up and realized that Green Song was behind him and hugging his waist. "Song get away from him." I muttered out as loudly as I could. " Kid you don't know what you are doing." Grimstone said loudly as his claws got closer to Chrysalis's face. " Please." Song said as tears began flowing down her face. After about fifteen minutes of contemplation Chrysalis exploded into a puff of black mist. After this the only thing I could remember was seeing Song pass out and I soon followed. " Ugh my head." I said as I woke up in my bed only to hear talking downstairs. So naturally I decided to walk down and see what was happening. When I got downstairs I saw Spitfire, Green Song and a mysterious figure in the kitchen which was completely dark. " Uh what happened?" I asked in a drunken manner. " Well you see after you two passed out I was freed and Grimstone and I tended to your wounds as the neighbors helped clean up the yard." Spitfire said in a calm voice. Her cheeks had little streams of where tears had flowed. " Sit down Nights I need to tell you and Song something." Grimstone said demandingly. I didn't want to listen to him, but he did save our lives so I owe that much to him. After we all sat on the couch next to Mom he came out of the light in front of us. Suddenly he was enveloped in a bright crimson red mist. After the mist lifted I had not expected that he was our savior. " Crimson?!" I said loudly as I looked at him shocked. " Yes it is me." He said nonchalantly." It's time for me to tell you all the truth." " The job I was on before I got home was a assassination on Chrysalis. I was told by my employer that she was raising an army and I had to stop her. When my team of four and I got there we were ambushed by her minions. I was the only one left the rest of my men were killed gruesomely. So I was taken before her in a dark room so I could be her little guinea pig. After a couple days of torture I started hearing voices and little did I know that it was actually Grimstone trying to let me enter my body and use it like a vessel. So I agreed and I passed out. When I woke up I was standing over Chrysalis's decapitated body." He said calmly. " I never meant for my business to intervene in our life and I truly am sorry for this. I had no intention of letting you see Grimstone like this." Crimson said as he started getting angry. " Spitfire we need to go see Hank now." Crimson said as his face grew stern. Spitfire nodded. " Wait how do you know Hank Henshaw?" I said as I felt like I missed something important. " It's simple you don't think I only had one person try to hire me as a hitman before do you?" Crimson said as he grabbed the keys and headed towards the door. "Who's the guy in the kitchen?" I asked Crimson as he was about to open the door. "A....Friend?" Spitfire said as I gave her skeptical look as the figure stepped out." He's from Gotham." She said as I noticed the figure had a bat like helmet." I'm pretty sure you know who he is." "I'm Batman." Batman said as Green Song came out of her room, then noticed Batman." Sleep well?" "And I thought my life wasn't strange enough." Song said as I rolled my eyes." I'm just going to...(thud)." Green Song said as she fainted. "Oi vey." I said annoyed as I walked over to her and picked her up." What next?" ----The future---- Need to go back in time a girl in her mid twenties thought to herself as she ran through the ruins of the once known as the Crown City. "Can't let Him find me." She said quietly as she ducked into a ruined house as she pulled out a Communicator." Green Song to base, anyone there?" "Glad to hear from you." A voice said from her communicator." Any luck?" "I got it." Song said sadly pulling out a gem." I'll be back soon." "What about the rest?" The voice asked as Song sighed sadly." He showed up again, didn't he?" "Ender, Melodia, and Tremoring, all dead." Song said as tears started forming in her eyes." We need to stop him." "HOW?!?!?!?" The voice shouted as song quickly turned down the volume." Dark killed every superhero and former villain that stood against him, Even cri...." "Please don't mention dad." Sing said interrupting the voice." At least he had a chance against Dark before he died." "I understand." The voice said." Anyway, what's your location?" "I'm in an old house on West street." Song said as she peeked over the rubble." To be exact my old house." She said sadly." Red Wolf?" "Just head down the street then take a left." Red said as Green Song ran down the street." And you'll see our base." "Got it." Green Song said as lightening started flashing." Oh no." "What is it?" Red asked as the lightening started turning purple." He's here isn't he?" "What do you think?" Song said as clouds started moving In a circular motion." He's zoning in on my location." "GET OUT OF THERE!!!!" Red yelled as the clouds and lightening struck behind her knocking her of her feet." Hang on, I'm on my way." "I'm almost there." Song said groaning as she got up as the clouds dispersed." Don't worry." "Hello." A voice said from behind her as she gasped." Guardian." "He's here." Song said quietly into the communicator." Dark Nights is here." she said facing Dark, who wore a black gi with red, and his hair was a very dark blue." I may need that help."
