In Blackest Night

[Atelos]

The pink creature flew through the window, along with the broken shards of glass and the terrible screech come out of its mouth. Hades cringed at the abomination's horrid sound as he brought out his shield. A grim smile appeared on his face as the thing began to slice through the work desk it was perched on. It glared at the two for a brief second before letting out another piercing scream and jumping off the desk, flying towards the sorcerer. Atelos threw his shield towards the creature, hitting smack in the face. Shang Tsung had his blade out and his magic item that seemed so threatening, however his face showed relief. The sorcerer backed up towards Atelos, not long before the Spartan's fist ignited.

The creature got up and shook its head from the concussive blow, and glared its human-like eyes at Hades, its hate emanating from its body. The thing grabbed his shield with its mouth and tossed the shield aside breathing heavily before launching itself at Hades. A loud *bang* resonated through Hades ears and the creature stopped its path halfway to land at Hades' feet. Black bubbly blood flowed through a small hole that had just appeared in its head. Shang walked over and stabbed it in the neck, with his…bladed arm? The thing jittered its last attempts of vengeance upon the pair but to no avail before it gave its final breathe away. Shang's arm returned back to normal as Hades went to retrieve 'his' shield.

Shang audibly let out a sigh of relief as he joined up with Hades. They greeted each other with another smile before a loud screeching noise came outside of the window. More of those things were coming in, and Shang and Hades panicked and ran out the door. Hades kept the door shut as incessant banging started.

"Hurry sorcerer, find something to block the door!" His gritty voice whispered out, being broken only by loud bangs and screeches. The sorcerer disappeared for a second into the hallway leaving the broken god. Minutes passed and the door began to crack underneath the pressure and the screeches grew louder and more passionate. Shang returned at the absolute last moment with a metal shelf and placed it before the door, keeping those things out. The banging eventually stopped and black blood pooled underneath the door.

"I'm glad that you arrived when you did Spartan." Shang grinned as he put his firearm away.

Hades flinched and put his hands over his ears, "Looks like playtime is over Sorcerer." Hades fell to the floor, grunting in pain as the glossy look in his eyes faded. Shang turned to see Atelos on the floor.

"Spartan?!" He ran next to Atelos, pausing as if he was deciding a moral dilemma…if he was capable of that.

Atelos' eyes fluttered open and he was obviously confused. He looked around and backed away in panic.

"Shang? What in Olympus are you doing here! What happened to my regiment… the abomination?" His voice trailed off as he began to think about so many different possibilities that occurred.
