Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Hey guys!

Should I add songs to these chapters? I'm not gonna be like those music shits on Wattpad where they just copy and paste the entire lyrics and have the entire cast react to it, instead I'm just gonna add a few lyrics from songs at pivotal moments to show the characters are singing or the music that should be played.

I dunno, what do you think?

"Hey James," $%*#(@ said. "What do you want to do when we get home?"

They walked down the street, &#($&@ holding various books, while James walked carefree. "You wanna keep watching Full-Metal Alchemist."

"Hell yeah! I wanna see how Hughes does with all that information he got."

"..." James couldn't do anything but hold his laughter inside.

Soon, after some more talking they came across an alley-way where&I#*%(#*(%@(#)#@%*)#@

***JAMES POV***

HUFF HUFF 

I woke up taking deep breaths, holding my chest as sweat raced down my face with reckless abandon. Soon, I calmed down and laid back on the bed, getting a bit frustrated instead of scared like I was before.

I've had that dream so many times, but every single time where that alley-way was there, the dream just fizzled out and ended. I never really knew how Alicia died, my brain apparently blocked it out for self-defense and nobody ever told me how. 

I got up from my bed, getting my morning routine out of the way with a shower and brushing my teeth, but when I got out, the strangest thing happened. There was a bug on my floor just staring at me.

I was never really scared of bugs at all, but I thought bugs were supposed to go after like food and stuff, not just watch you. Maybe Hell-bugs were somehow different or something.

Without really thinking about it, I reached a finger out and tried to pet the bug which was pretty hard since they're literal bugs, but I managed to pat it on the head with a light finger tap. It didn't really react to it, and just crawled away.

…Okay.

But for now, I must wait in silence, getting my secret identity ready. By day in Hell, I am James Richardson, a new… Sinner I think it's called? Yeah, sinner that is trying to get by.

However, at night, I am something different. In the night, I roam the streets of Hell, attempting to make the people smile and cheer when I appear. I am the hope of the damned, the smile of the sinners, the hero for all of the evil.

***1 Hour later***

I AM THE ROARING KNIGHT, THE HERO OF HELL!

Yeah, it turns out I could morph my shadow armor into different forms and I finally settled on a sleek one that had a small horizontal slit in the middle to fully embrace my idol.

It also seemed like Hell was just a… Horrible place to live in. I know, shocking right? But still, it's already night-time, but it's about 1 PM. Not even winter was this bad, dude. The sun comes up at about 6 or 7 (DON'TTINKITDON'TSAYIT) and sets at lunch-time.

But, I guess it's a little bit of an advantage since I can achieve my dreams of being THE ROARING KNIGHT. I had already put the shadow armor on and made my way up to the roof of my apartment building, staring down at the bustling city.

I'm not gonna lie right now… This is pretty scary. I mean, I've never really tried to jump off of a roof before, even in full magic armor with my claw I got from drinking blue lean, but… I gotta do this.

My heart is genuinely beating out of my chest, but I'm also excited. That's it, no more thinking, no more considering the options, no more waiting. LET'S FREAKING GO!!!!

I focused my head in front of me and ran, only looking forward at the building in front of me. If there's one thing I've learned is that the power of belief is real, if you believe you can do something there is a much more likely chance that you can do it.

So right now, I believe that I can do this, I believe that I can jump across this building and I believe that this isn't a dream!

I leaped, the roof leaving my feet as I hung in the air for a few moments, looking down at the ground that could spell my doom and having a small amount of second thoughts before I erased them from my mind. I continued my arc from the air, finally rolling on the other roof with a wide smile on my face.

Alright… Let's get cooking!

I continued my roof escapades, jumping like a fat Italian plumber. To be honest, I almost fell off once, barely making the jump. Let me tell you, I thought I was gonna die, but apparently my claw has more power than I thought, stretching out a little to be able to grasp the ledge before I became a red stain on the ground.

Even though I knew I could just fall off and die, it was still so exciting. Is this how adrenaline junkies and crackheads feel? I need to hurry up and do meth in that case, cuz this is exhilarating!

Although I wanted to continue being a stupid idiot on the rooftops, there was actually something going down on the ground. It seemed like 2 guys were trying to either mug or sexually assault a purple woman on the ground.

Allow the Roaring Knight to correct this misdeed!

I take away the shadow armor from my feet, managing to drop down behind the two without making a sound while they still harass the woman. One of them was closer to the woman than the other, leaving the one in the back completely vulnerable.

I sneaked up behind him and grabbed him by his neck, choking him on the ground while the woman watched but made sure to keep her attention on the first guy. It was at this moment that I realized one thing… I don't know how to knock someone out by choking.

Shit, am I killing him? I decided to stop choking him and instead, just try punching him in the head a lot. "Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep." I say, until it looks like he's finally knocked out…I hope.

Unfortunately, it looks like the main guy is finally realizing why his buddy isn't responding to him anymore as he looks back and sees his boyfriend on the floor, knocked out. Before he could even react, I used my claw, enlarging to the point where it's the same size as the dude and swatting him into the wall.

I tried to be as gentle as possible, but I just made him into one of those loony-tunes characters that were just flat on a wall. Oh well, it looks like he's still breathing so I'll take it.

I turned my attention to the woman who was currently looking at me like I was a monster. "I-I'llgive you my money, okay? E-e-even my body." 

…What?

"Please do not fret, random woman, I am not here for your money, nor your body. I go by many names, but the one I will tell you right now is my alias as of today. I am… The Roaring Knight." I said, rifling through the two dudes' pockets while speaking.

I don't see her reaction, instead, going up to the next wall and running up it while using my claw as a sort of hook to puncture into the wall to help me climb up.

After that, the night wasn't that bad to be honest. I stopped a few more muggings, an assault and even a robbery of a store. On the way across the roofs, I also saw this big golden clocktower that had a countdown for a few months. I personally don't know what that means, but I ain't gonna worry about it.

I was feeling pretty tired, but before I decided to go back home, I saw one more crime that I decided I'd take care of. A whole group of 5 dudes was giving this pasty white spider-woman a hassle.

One thing I've neglected to mention is that literally everyone here was thicc as hell. The woman I saved earlier, this spider-woman, even the guys that were a little feminine had more than a little butt to them.

Is it gay to like femboys? 

I don't really care, I got a job to do.

I drop down behind the thugs, this time not even caring to make myself hidden. One thing I've learned over the night is that nobody can normally hurt me. Punches will only hurt the person punching me more than me and bullets just reflect off of me, so instead of going the Batman route of stealth, I'll just be a juggernaut.

Y'know, when you're basically invincible, the fights aren't really that exciting, just a minute of breaking noses, and knocking people out to be honest. It took less than 2 minutes to have all of the thugs knocked out cold with only me and the spider-woman remaining.

"...'Ello Governor." I've been trying to mix up my greetings. 

"Who the hell are you?" She asks.

"I am the Roaring Knight and your savior for the time being… I am also the one who is running through these guys' pockets." I say and when I get a good look at her, I notice that she's carrying a bag of white powder in her bottom set of hands.

Speaking of hands, for some reason she's got pink gloves on her bottom set while her top set are just bare save for fur. I'm not one for fashion, so I guess it's supposed to go with her white suit with pink stripes, but I dunno.

"Alright, whaddya want?"

"...What?"

"C'mon, don't act dumb you saved THE Angel Dust. Whip your dick out and let's get this over with." She seemed annoyed and bored at having to do this.

""Ma'am, I do not know who you are and although the offer is very tempting, I don't want a blowjob from a random woman."

"Okay, 1. I'm a guy–"

…That's not a dealbreaker for me at all.

"2. Holy shit, you really don't know me? I'm the most famous pornstar in Hell for crying out loud." 

"I got here like a week ago."

"And you haven't watched porn? What do you even do with your freetime?"

"I don't know, dude, not be a gooner?"

"Oh my God, I'm not having this." He says, digging in his back pocket before pulling out a small box. "Look, here's my thanks for you saving me. It's a stack of DVDs of my greatest hits." He walked over to me, placing the box in my hands before putting his upper hands around my face.

"Don't be a stranger, short, dark and handsome." He said before putting a kiss on the cheek of my armor, sauntering out of the alley with a sway in his hips.

…I'm only 5 '7, it's a very average height!

Ignoring my unfortunate boner, I climbed back up to the roofs, almost beginning my trek home with the box before all of a sudden, a black ticket slapped me in my face.

Rip me harder ;)
