Demon City
Scourge sat in his office, thankful to have a slow night for once so he could actually relax like he hadn’t been able to do in a good while. The hedgehog had the t.v on low volume and was listening to the city news as he ground up some weed to roll up in small squares of paper laid out on his desk. He skillfully rolled up two joints and reached to take a sip from his glass of chilled wine when a breaking news report interrupted the sports segment.
“We interrupt sports coverage to bring you information regarding a highly bizarre situation occurring down town at this moment” A pink furred female fox with long blond hair announced. A good distance behind her were the flashing lights of emergency vehicles and what looked like an out of control mosh pit of mobians, all growling, clawing and biting at each other. “No one is sure what’s going on down here but it’s speculated that some kind of invisible chemical attack is causing anyone within a certain distance to lose their minds. As you can see behind me” The camera zoomed in on the chaos and then quickly zoomed out when the camera man unwittingly caught a mother slamming her own infant on the ground to stomp into a pulp before she got on all fours to begin viciously ripping it apart with her own mouth. “Holy fucking shit!” The man holding the camera was heard loud and clear and the video got shaky from his fear.
“John!” The reporter named Claudia spoke harshly under her breath. “Be professional! I want that raise dammit!” She huffed and flipped her hair. Obviously she hadn’t seen the mother devouring her own child. “As I was saying, as of yet no one knows what triggered this chaotic scene of mass hysteria bu-” Gun shots suddenly rang out and caused both the reporter and camera guy to jump. Scourge looked up at the screen at this time as he was fixing to light a spliff now settled between his lips.
“Oh my god, what the fuck!” The man wielding the camera was heard again and zoomed in to see what was happening now. The gun shots were coming from law enforcement in the crowd. They were shooting random civilians point blank in their faces, rapidly unloading clips to kill as many as possible before turning their weapons on themselves and one another. “Claudia fuck this! Fuck you and fuck your raise, we have to get out of here right fucking now!” John yelled as he was backing away from it all. But it was too late for him as something appearing spirit like hurdled towards them from the crowd of violence and right into the back of Claudia who suddenly dropped her microphone with a stunned look upon her face as a red misty aura radiated around her body. In a split second the female roared an unnatural and blood curdling noise while at the same time lunging at the camera operator. A brief scream was heard and the camera dropped before the video feed cut out.
Scourge still watching scratched his head with the unlit joint still in his mouth when the video feed went back to the studio, showing the horrified faces of the regular news anchors who were shocked and speechless. “Uh... w-we-well be back after a short break”
“What the fuck did I just see?” The purple hedgehog turned off the t.v. He knew it was possible he was just seeing things due to his inability to sleep. His life was plagued by hallucinations that could be extremely detailed at times, but this was among the most fucked up things he’d seen. He put the joint back down on the table and decided he should investigate for himself. Taking out a pair of high tech binoculars from a desk drawer, he got up and went to look out the window with them. The location was easy to find with all the flashing lights and much to his surprise he saw imagery consistent with what was just shown on the news, a large crowd in a pool of blood and guts still attacking one another to their deaths. “Chaos, what the fuck is happening down there?”
