Lament of the Moon S&H - Ch.06: The First Strike - Ep06
#6 of LoM 06
Inside one of the university's photography labs, Sasuga was hiding under the professor's desk. She turned off the lab room lights and folded the windows shades, preventing any light from shedding into the room, thus eliminating any kind of shadow. She crouched under the desk, hugging her knees and shivering in fear under the darkness. "This can't be happening... this just can't be happening..." Sasuga whimpered, dreading this nightmare she was going through. She really hoped that Panja got her message and was on his way.
A few minutes passed and nothing happened. This seemed to have worked and Sasuga began to calm down, but she was still afraid to move out of the lab.
Then, someone unexpectedly opened the door to the lab. "Sas? Are you in here?"
"K-Kyle?" Sasuga reared out her head from under the desk, seeing Kyle standing by the doorway.
"There you are! Some people told me they saw you enter here in a hurry. I was so worried about you," the cat said in comfort.
"No, Kyle! Close the door!" Sasuga yelled out at the confused feline.
"What? Why?" Kyle said in confusion and didn't realize that he had let light into the room, creating a long thick shadow from his short frame across the lab. And as Sasuga feared, Onyx re slowly surfaced from within Kyle's shadow, starting from his snout horn and ending with his flat feet, much to Kyle's sheer shock. "Wh-Wh-Wh-What's the hell is that!?" the cat frightfully stuttered as he watched the big-eyed, hunched-back chameleon form before him.
"Thanks for leading me here, boy! I was getting bored!" Onyx crackled as he looked down at the scared cat and then clutched him by the neck, bringing him close to his ugly face.
"Urk! Le-Let me go!" Kyle choked as he squirmed around to break free, but Onyx grip was impossibly strong for him.
"No! Leave him alone, you fucking creep!" Sasuga cried out and grabbed one of the chairs, breaking it against the chameleon's spiky back, but it didn't even budge him an inch.
"Back off, you wench!" Onyx hissed and whipped his tail at the kirin, knocking her off to the back. "Now, how to deal with you... hmmmm..." he focused his attention back at Kyle and was examining him closely, his flaring nostrils sniffing him a bit as Kyle cringed away in repulsion with a whimper. "Hmmmm... you have a very dense amount of Maligna reeking off ya!"
"Ma... Maligna?" Kyle whimpered in puzzlement.
"Yes! Much Maligna! Enough Maligna! I can summon my precious puppies!" Onyx proclaimed pleasantly. "Come out, boys! Come play with Papa!" The chameleon raised his free hand up high and, much to Sasuga's horror; multiple Hellhounds started appearing from different shadows all around them.
"Wha... What's going on!? Sas! Help! Make him stop!" Kyle cried as he watched the Hellhounds gather around Onyx, growling and snarling about.
"Awww, looks like my puppies are little hungry. Good thing I have a little snack here to tide them over before the big meal!" Onyx snickered and lifted Kyle by the neck over the canine monsters, eagerly awaiting the command of their master to start chomping on the poor sniffling young feline.
"Oh God, no..." Sasuga uttered as she got back up on her hooves and helplessly watched as Kyle was about to become a meal for those demonic dogs. A fresh and very alive meal.
