Someone grabbed Nikolai's shoulder from behind and shook him. "Nikolai! Snap out of it!" He turned to see Vladimir's concerned face, and then, behind him, the hellish background erupted into complete chaos.
'What?!'
All fifteen gates opened, and through them came a horde of bizarre, unseen monsters. Small red bodies with clawed hands tossed balls of flame that exploded on hit, tearing apart the weakest of supernaturals.
Giant, bipedal beasts with a dark pink fleshy hide and a massive mouth the size of a car dashed through their initial barriers. These massive beasts, taller than eight feet, stomped and crushed cars and trucks like toys.
Obey me!
Serve and surrender!
Cleanse the filth from this world!
'This damn voice!'
Pah!
Pah!
Nikolai lifted his palm and slapped himself twice.
