Ultimate Jonah Hex #2
The Devil in The Rain pt. 2
Hex unloads the final five shots from his gun. Hex's eyes widen with a tinge of fear as the creature makes its way toward him.
"Hell's reign on Earth,
begins with your death on the hearth,
blood stains,
become growing pains"
"I ain't dyin' here today. I'm sending you back to hell. And you don't got to worry I ain't meant for this world long I'll chase you through every damn circle of hell." Hex watches as over the table the body of Warren begins to twist and become deformed. The man's skin blackens and is replaced by a orangeish hued scaled skin. Bones crack and reset; Hex watches as two horns begin to protrude from the now deformed skull. The eyes give off a hellish red glow that just exudes pure power. The feet begin to crack next as they make way for hooves that clack on the wooden floors of the cabin. Leathery wings emerge from the shoulder blades. Even bunched up Hex can tell they are truly massive.
"Taste the fear,
your future is clear,
Hell's Gates call,
waiting for your soul to fall."
Jonah glances around the room searching for anything that would help him take down a demon; now in full control of Martin Warren. Hex sees the pantry with canned goods from before the bombs were dropped. The demon's steps echo through the cabin. Hex grabs for the knife on his left hip and throws it at the demon missing on purpose. As the knife buries its tip within the flames of the fire-place re-lit by the Demon's own presence Hex watches as the blade begins to glow. There is only one way to fight a demon and that's with its own hellfire. Hex lunges across the room rolling to avoid the devil's flames. He crosses the room in two bounds; burning himself as he pulls the blade from the hellish flames. Hex smells his own flesh char instantly as he touches the heated weapon.
The Demon turns as Hex slashes and connects with a blow that tears much of the man's chest to pieces. The Demon finches as the red-hot steel rips through its chest. The Demon lets loose a howl that would scare some of the creatures lurking in hell. Hex begins to turn for another swipe as the Demon unhinges Warren's jaw and locust swarm from its mouth. Hex swats at the pestilent horde as the air fills with the beating of wings.
"Follow this path to your doom,
as your soul becomes mine to consume."
The Demon's words overpowered the beating wings of the locust. Hex grabs a piece of wood from the fire-place sending the swarm scattering by swinging the torch the hellfire made the tiny bugs dissipate into ash. Hex turns to face the monstrous force that has spewed forth the locust. Hex pulls out his knife and holds it to the torch as the steel grows hot with hellfire. Hex lunges toward the hideous beast slashing it across the face with the knife. The Demon cries out in pain as Hex's knife sears its skin.
"There's plenty more of that, Warren!" Hex shouts as he slashes the demon again across the chest. Hex quickly flips the blade into the hellfire ti reheat it. Hex shoves the blade through the Demon's stomach dropping it to the ground. Black blood oozes from the wounds left by the knife.
"Friend is foe,
you'll never know,
till all is lost,
at a painful cost.
The bull turns,
the futures burns"
Hex pulls the Plasma Grenade from his waist, "Awh shut up!" Hex grabs the demon's jaws and unhinges them, "Open wide." Jonah inserts the plasma grenade into the demon's mouth. Hex cuts poor little Kelly down.He turns and kicks open the door carrying the delicate little body.Calling General over to him. Hex sits the cold body on the horse's neck. He turns to the demon who lies in a pool of his own blackened blood, "I'll find you when I get down there for what you did to this girl and for the rest of them. You won't be able to hide from me either. When you get back to Hell go and cower in the deepest darkest corner of the lowest most cold circle of Hell. I'll find ya." Hex pulls the pin of the plasma grenade. Hopping up on General he rides off as the cabin first implodes upon itself before being sucked into the Nexus.

Tallulah rose to her feet at the quiet knock on the front door."Who is it?" She calls out as she picks up the shotgun that Jonah had instructed her to always keep by the door. "We're looking for Jonah Hex. We got a job for him." Tallulah checks to be sure the weapon is ready to be fired as she constructs her response to the intruder who clearly didn't have a job for Jonah especially since his freelance days were over since Turnbull had placed him on a retainer. "You have about five seconds to get away from my door; if you really had a job for Jonah you'd know how to get a hold of him."
"Ma'am, we just need to speak with Mr. Hex and we will be on our way." The man doing the speaking was doing his best to hide his accent, but he was clearly from below the border. Jonah had spent time down there in the past, but that was one area where he'd refused to tell her anything about. "Five...Four...Three..." The door flies of its hinges as the Mexican leader kicks it off its hinges. Tallulah is sent flying and drops the shotgun as a result. She begins to crawl for it as El Papagayo grabs her by her foot, "Not so fast chica. We have much to do before my old friend Jonah Hex arrives." She turns and looks into the eyes of the Mexican Bandit with a massive scar running from his right temple to the left side of his upper lip. He is flanked by two other bandits each wearing a black bandanna covering the top half of their heads with slits in them for eyes. Each has a red fist tattoo on their neck as does the leader.
"Get the door back up I want Hex to suspect nothing he is the most dangerous man I have met in my life he is not to be taken lightly."
-------------------------------------------------
The familiar glow off New Turlington comes into sight. The rain has kept up all night and washed out the mutant rattlers which now litter the road side. General carefully picks his path as Jonah shots the head off of the venomous creatures. Jonah saves the last round for the bell as he approaches the gate. The gatekeeper John Henson stops him. "Heya Jonah a couple of gentlemen stopped by looking for you about thirty minu--" Hex cuts him off. "What kind of fellas were they John?" A hint of worry and anger are heard through Jonah's voice.
John stammers, "Three Mexican fellas... th-th-they said they had a job for ya so I just pointed them in the direction to your place."
"Goddamnit, John. Get Kelly's body to her parents." Hex hands off the cold body of the Saunder's girl to the gatekeeper who has to stop from gagging at the sight of the poor dead girl. Hex pats General on the neck, "we got to go! Fast as ya can boy." General takes off through the now abandoned streets. General hooves hit the concrete sending out an endless echo that is only drowned out by the occasional clap of thunder. Hex jumps off General as the horse comes to a halt at the apartment. Hex pulls out his guns as he races up the stairs. Hex kicks in the door as he reaches the top of the steps. His eyes lock on to Tallulah as he enters the room El Papagayo holds a knife to her throat as she says, I'm sorry, Jonah." Papagayo presses just a little harder on her throat to tell her to be quiet.
"Drop the weapons, Jonah. We have much to discuss before we set off for Mexico. By the way by order of the Legion of Mexican states you under arrest for crimes against our nation."
