A Long Awaited Visit

Hell's Bane

When you hear such words what comes in front of your mind? A Holy Knight that held a legendary sword that cuts through demons like butter? How about a very powerful figure who's gaze alone kills forces of Satan?

While these images are rather pleasant to the eye there are only a few who truly know who Hell's Bane is. Garbed in green armor forged by the Betrayer in the deepest pits of Hell, made specifically for only one individual that all demons came to know and fear.

The Doom Slayer

And right now she's trotting down Hell as if it's a walk in the park, she didn't know how long she had been in Hell but one thing's sure. It was very long, for you see Hell, while still affected by Father Time runs differently; Demons use special portals to go to different worlds and these portals allows them to stick to Hell time while being in a different world where time runs differently. For example; if a demon invasion were to happen in a world where time runs faster than Hell's time, Demons wouldn't be affected by said world's timeline and would still age normally unlike normal creatures who age faster when they travel to a world who's time runs faster or slower than their world.

This wacky explanation of science also applies to the Doom Slayer for she has noticed that despite going to other worlds she didn't age a single year, the cause of this must most likely be because of the amount of Argent energy she had consumed during her entire time in Hell, nothing much happened in Hell at this point in time with their recent defeat in planet Mars and the massive loss of Argent energy that she 'borrowed' from the wraiths using the Crucible which was then stolen by Samuel Hayden. Don't get her wrong, she's still pissed that the pile of junk dares to double cross her and she guaranteed that she would pay him back in full when they meet again.

But right now anger is not what she needed; at the moment Demons are still planning for another attack which was a great moment for the Doom Slayer to have a quick vacation.

"I think I'll visit him today," she thought out loud.

She turned around to see demons as far as the eye could see, from the insignificant like the Possessed to the Cacodemons to the strongest of the Hell army; The Baron of Hell. From a distance she could see another Cyber Demon along with a Spider Mastermind roaring at her.

"I thought already killed you guys… oh well," she shrugged.

Pulling out her Super Shotgun, she replaced the spent casings then placed new ones, with a flick of her wrist the barrels clicked back into place. Her face shifted from a smile to dead serious.

"I have a visit to go to and I don't want to be late,"

Both Cyber Demon and Spider Mastermind roared and screeched respectively as Hell's remaining army charged at Hell's Bane.

The city was bustling as always, vendors sold cheap goods on their stalls whether it be earrings or street food, a group of five adventurers, a high elf, a dwarf, a lizardman, a priestess and of course a normal human walked down the street with the Adventurer's Guild as their destination.

"That cave had more goblins than we expected!" said the 2,000 year old elf.

"But look at the bright side that's less goblins to worry about am I right?" said the reptile of their group.

"Yes, less goblins, better," Goblin Slayer said ever so stoically.

High Elf Archer glared at their party leader, "You didn't make it anymore easier, I mean seriously what made you think that powder in a closed room was a good idea!"

The Goblin Slayer didn't even give High Elf Archer a look before giving an answer, "I promised not to use, fire, explosions and even water,"

High Elf Archer gave an exasperated sigh as she raised her arms to feint defeat. The whole party knew that they had to be careful when making a promise with Goblin Slayer as it's a double edge sword. Nevertheless they finished the job and they were going to get paid.

"Don't worry, even if that explosion did hit you, you would have survived if that anvil of a chest you have has anything to say about it!" Dwarf Shaman said before eliciting a hearty laugh.

"That's a lot coming from a bearded, midget fat ass!" the elf retorted.

This useless banter continued as the Lizardman simply walked behind them and gave a tired sigh; after all using [Partial Dragon] to lift up a heavy mirror did tire him, meanwhile the young Priestess gave a smile. The group of adventurers reached their destination, Goblin Slayer opened the double doors that lead to the Adventurer's Guild.

When they entered the first thing that he did was walk up to Guild Girl and handed the paper with the bounty on goblins.

"Congratulations on completing this quest Sir Goblin Slayer!" Guild Girl said with a smile.

"Are there anymore quests regarding goblins?"

"Fortunately, that's all the quests regarding goblins; now excuse me while I give you the reward," the Guild Girl disappeared under the counter in order to grab the bounty.

Goblin Slayer was about to give a nod when a hand started to tap his armor, he turned around to see the Priestess giving her a look of confusion.

"Is there something you need?"

"Have you noticed that the entire guild is rather quiet?" said the Priestess.

Goblin Slayer looked around and true to her words it was quiet. In fact it was not only quiet but it was also tense, and for some reason it was a type of tension he was used to though the familiarity was lost on him.

"Here's the bounty, 275 copper coins and 1 silver coin,"

Goblin Slayer redirected his attention to the Guild Girl, he grabbed the bag of coins and was about to make his way towards the door when all of a sudden the Guild Girl stopped him midway. Hearing her voice he turned around.

"Is it goblins?"

"W-well it's not goblins per say," Goblin Slayer began to leave.

"W-wait, Sir Goblin Slayer please hear me out first,"

Goblin Slayer stopped and turned around; the Guild Girl gave a sigh of relief, "Apparently there's someone who's looking for you,"

"Do they have a request about goblins?" he asked.

Getting irritated with his goblin related questions she decided to get to the point lest he leaves without hearing her out, "Unfortunately no, although the person told me to tell you this: "I'm back and I hope you miss me!""

"What kind of cryptic message is that?" High Elf Archer asked.

"Probably a long lost lover?" Dwarf Shaman answered.

"Orcbolg, having a lover, don't make me laugh!" High Elf Archer said laughing out echoing through the tense silent guild, also to hide that tinge of jealousy in her voice.

"I-I don't think you he has any lovers, isn't that right Sir Goblin Slayer?" Priestess asked slightly worried about his answer, after all they did share a bed… alone.

"Do you remember having any lovers Sir Goblin Slayer?" Guild Girl asked although there was a tinge of cold in her voice.

Instead of the normal robotic answer that they always hear come out from his mouth, something else came out, something that put every single adventurer in the guild tense up.

"No… she's back,"

Every single head turned to face the Goblin Slayer, gone was the stoic posture that he always held instead it was not replaced with him shaking in fear. This was new to both veterans and newbies of the guild, who could 'she' be that made even the robotic Goblin Slayer tremble in fear. The deafening silence continued on with not a single sign that anyone's going to break it.

Aside from Goblin Slayer's armor rattling there was another noise that made itself known, footsteps on wood, and judging by the sound any adventurer would have suspected the wearer to be heavy but if one were to ask Goblin Slayer who owns those footsteps he would never have given an answer… no he would have ran away.

Not even a blink the Goblin Slayer did just that, with a sudden burst in his feet he ran towards the doors ignoring the voices of her party members. He was arms reach from the door know when all of a sudden a bright flash of blue hit the doorknob melting it preventing him from using it.

"Now why would you run away from me?" a voice that belonged to a female said.

Goblin Slayer froze up and turned around to face the owner of the voice almost like a rusty machine, at the same time all the heads of each adventurer turned to see someone unusual. Unlike normal armor that can be bought in the armory the adventurer they're looking at wore the most out of this world armor; the helmet didn't end with a horn or at least a ponytail instead it was a smooth curve that enveloped the whole head and the front didn't have the standard metal bars that made up the visor instead it was replaced with tinted glass that made it hard for anyone to see the owner's face, on the forehead of the helmet was a weird red mark. Anyone would have dismissed the mark to be normal paint but Goblin Slayer knew there was more to it than just a simple mark.

The shoulder pads were uneven with one ended with a curve while the other ended with a tip but both pads, the breastplate had three lines on the right pec while a red glowing dot on the left side of the pec. Both arms were encompassed with some type of cloth that had black and dark yellow lines while the entire thing was covered by the same type of armor that the shoulder pads and breast plate have, the same could be said about the legs. The armor that the figure wore, despite it being weird it was imposing, it was basically telling everyone in the group "Don't mess with me".

The figure walked down the stairs that led to the second floor and approached the Goblin Slayer. The Goblin Slayer slowly backed up but soon found out that he couldn't anymore since he was cornered, Goblin Slayer prepared himself for anything coming, what he didn't expect was a piece of paper to show up to his face.

He gave the paper a look and gave a sigh of resignation; of course she would pick this mission couldn't she have picked anything else?

-LINE BREAK-

DEMON SLAYING

A DEMON LORD HAS BEEN REVIVED IN THE OUT SKIRTS OF AMMORRHA SHOULD THE DEMON LORD BE KILLED THE REWARD WOULD BE 10 GOLD COINS GIVEN BY THE LORD OF THE TOWN

-LINE BREAK-

"Let's do this mission together, get some bonding for once," the armored figure said.

"Eh?" everyone in the guild said at once.

"What do you say?" said the armored person inching closer to the Goblin Slayer.

"Erk…"

The figure was then pulled back by the High Elf Archer who then placed herself in front of the Goblin Slayer, "W-w-wait time out! You can't just drag Orcbolg away from us!"

After that she then redirected her attention to the Goblin Slayer, "And you what does she mean by 'bonding'?"

All heads turned to the Goblin Slayer waiting for an answer; he gave a tired sigh which surprised every adventurer as they rarely if ever hear him sigh. He walked towards the armored figure and began to speak more words than what he speaks on a usual basis.

"Meet, Doom Slayer, Doom Slayer meet adventurers,"

"Yo!" Doom Slayer said raising a hand.

"Okay, now that we know her name what is she to you!?" Spearman said as he stood up from his seat with his curiosity already bursting out.

Doom Slayer looked at Goblin Slayer expectantly, despite not seeing her face he knew that she was waiting on him to introduce her to them. His posture didn't ease any adventurer at all, it was like he was insecure, and it was like he's not the Goblin Slayer they know and that set most of them on edge.

"S-s-she's…"

He stuttered… Goblin Slayer just stuttered, this might be more serious that they all thought.

"She's my big sister…"

Silence

Doom Slayer removed her helmet, short chestnut hair that reached down to her chin fell from her face, sharp black eyes locked with every single adventurer and a smile so bright they almost mistook her to be pure maiden. All in all she was every man's wet dream.

"That's me!" she said while bringing up a peace sign.

'WHAT!?"

I don't know why I made this… I was bored and I had just finished reading Goblin Slayer manga so I thought why not? Now for those of you who are confused allow me to explain.

The Doom Slayer in this story is indeed a woman. That alone should tell you this is an alternate universe, the Doom Slayer is rather energetic and cheerful while still retaining her brutality oh and also is relatives with Goblin Slayer, you can guess why… *cough* same last names *cough*

Anyways I hope you liked this one shot… I might make it into a series… I don't know you tell me.
