Chapter 33 - chapter 33

Grytal Nimbu was just an average demon grunt on Mars, toiling away in obscurity. He spent his days doing menial tasks around the demonic bases and temples. Grytal was a lowly class 3 Sargant, the lowest of the demonic hierarchies. He dreamed of one day rising through the ranks and gaining respect from his fellow demons.

But one fateful day, everything changed. Grytal was summoned to the courtyard of the main temple. There, he saw a group of his fellow demons tormenting a small rabbit creature. It was Doom Guy's pet, Bunny. The demons, drunk with power and cruelty, brutally slaughtered the poor creature right before Grytal's eyes.

Grytal wanted no part in this heinous act. He stood back and watched in disgust as the demons laughed and taunted the terrified rabbit. After the gruesome deed was done, Grytal slipped away unnoticed, his stomach churning at what he had witnessed.

A few days later, the demonic base was attacked by a lone human warrior named Doom Guy. Consumed by rage over the murder of his beloved pet, Doom Guy was a force of nature, tearing through demons by the dozens. Grytal soon realized this vengeful marine was targeting the same demons who had killed the rabbit.

Grytal knew he was in deep shit. Though he hadn't participated in the rabbit's killing, he had been there and failed to stop it. If Doom Guy saw him, it would likely mean a horrible death. Grytal tried to stay hidden, but the marine seemed to have a personal radar for demons.

As Doom Guy rampaged through the base, Grytal found himself face to face with the vengeful human. Doom Guy glared at him with cold, murderous eyes, his plasma rifle pointed directly at Grytal's head. The demon grunt slid to his knees, begging for mercy.

"P-please, I didn't kill your wabbit! I swear I had nothing to do with it!" Grytal whimpered, his warnings flickering in terror.

Doom Guy stared at him for a long moment, then slowly lowered his gun. "You're telling the truth. I can see it now. You were there but you didn't help them."

Grytal let out a sigh of relief, thinking he was spared. But then Doom Guy spoke again, his voice cold and dripping with malice.

"While you may not have directly killed my sweet Bunny, you still stood by and did nothing to stop it, class 3 scum. You are just as guilty. Any demon involved in this will pay the price. Say goodbye to your pitiful life."

With that, Doom Guy opened fire, reducing Grytal to a smoldering heap. As the demon felt his life force ebb away, he realized the horrible irony - he was killed by a human for a crime he didn't even commit. The last thing Grytal Nimbu thought before his spark faded was:

"Why are demons so fucked?"
