"Survival. It isn't just given away. It must be taken. By those smart and strong enough to take it!"

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"Hurry it up I wanted those harpoons set up five minutes ago!" Frost ordered while the staff of the porno studio were currently unprepared for what was happening, however, due to what had happened only a few hours ago along with their boss telling them they should listen to this straight-legged hellhound.

They couldn't really say no.

"I want those cables threaded with copper ASAP! That could be back at any minute! I want a kill box set up and ready to fire!" Frost shouted while the demons rushed around him, placing his hands down on the table with a blueprint of the entire building the warbeast rubbed his chin.

'If I set up the explosives here that would provide a perfect fallback plan if the harpoons fail. Then again if the explosives fail we need those jerry cans to set up a firewall to prevent it from escaping which we could-'

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING HELL!" Dropping his hand on the table Frost huffed at the sound of the voice, turning to see none other than Velvet.

'Who let the sassy child in here?'

"You!" Frost turned away to look back at the floor plans. "HEY! I'm talking to you! Bloody wanker! What have you done to the studio!"

"Doing my job that's what," Frost commented not bothering to give her another glance.

"Your job?! Listen here mutt I need to film two more shoots today or I won't make our daily upload schedule!" Velvet screamed at him, however, the warbeast ignored her causing Velvet to growl. "You damn fucking dog look at me when I'm talking to you!"

Velvet raised her hand as it was engulfed in hellish magic, however before she could strike Frost he snapped out grabbing her wrist, he stared her down behind his mask, even though she was much smaller than Frost and he wasn't all that tall. To all who watched the hellhound hold back an overlord with such determination held their breath as it seemed Frost towered over all who stood in the room.

"I'm going to forget you just tried to strike at me. I don't care about your 'upload schedule' of fraking debauchery-filled recordings. I'm focused on something more important that could lead to your entire business being torn down. So sit down and shut up!" Frost roared swatting at her wrist. "Less you wish me to leave you so that you can be eaten alive which I'm more than willing to!"

The overlord was speechless at Frost the overlord was completely unsure of what had just happened to her. However, the warbeast turned to the workers with just a glance they all began to return to work however far faster this time.

"Damn... never seen anyone talk like Velvet like that before," Frost attention was grabbed by a new voice causing him to look up from the blueprint.

He recognized the demon in front of him, the spider-like being from the limo from a while back this time unlike the look of fear on his face sat a look of awe. Frost taps his clawed finger on the table before shrugging.

"We have met before right?" Frost asked to which the different eye spider nodded.

"You're right on that honey," The spider smiled. "Name's Angel Dust handsome,"

He watched as Angel leaned on the table in a very 'lewb' way but Frost ignored it more focused on what the fear he saw last time.

"How bad?"

"Huh?" Angel looked confused by Frost's words.

"How bad is it? Working with Val," Frost asked this time Angel got what he meant.

"It's... something," Angel held one of his arms with his other.

Frost had seen many 'vice-workers' some didn't have a choice in their line of work, however, this didn't make the warbeast feel sympathy.

"Can't get out?" Angel looked up at Frost and nodded.

"Yeah,"

"Sorry didn't mean to bring up scars," Frost threw out.

"Don't worry it's just-" Angel cut himself off. "Anyway, so what's this thing,"

"What thing?"

"The thing that's been ripping apart everyone," Angel asked.

"It's a hunter. Not just a hunter this thing was spawned to what it is. That wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't covered in natural armor and had naturally growing bone claws that can cut though steel like it was paper," Frost informed. "It's a living weapon,"

"Yeesh... so that's way Val has given you the reigns to deal with this," Angel stated which was answered with a nod.

Tapping the table again Frost hummed.

"How are you in a fight?" Frost asked in a more friendly tone than he had with Velvet.

"Just as good as in bed," Angel reached behind him and seemly pulled out a set of weapons that from seemly nowhere.

"Where did you-" Frost stopped himself. "You know what. I don't want to know,"

Angel smiled at him while Frost eyed the weaponry, he had seen a few weapons like the ones Angel was holding. Black with an almost divine glow coming from the silver markings engraved on them, he didn't know what sorcery that was used to make these weapons nor did he truly care.

As much as the tech adapts hated xeno tech, some guardsmen and even inquisitors used the forbidden weapons of the enemy against their former wielders. Hells, Frost was told about an inquisitor in the ordos xenos that used an eldar splitter rifle which it even bore a blessed purity seal by the priests of mars.

He was unsure but wished to see if he could try shooting such a weapon, I mean now he had no way of contacting the imperium what would be the harm to fire such a gun?

"Impressive looking autoguns Angel," Frost complimented. "Glad to see some here are equipped well enough. Good war gear is so hard to find nowadays,"

Putting his guns down Angel tilted his head.

"War gear? Fraking? You say a lot of weird words there Frosty. Where are you from?"

Frost shifted at Angel's question however he was not able to answer in time for the very pissed of moth demon marched in.

"What in the seven hells! FROST!" Angel's face turned pale however Frost turned his head to see Valentino walking forward with a very strange being next to him. "We didn't agree for you to turn my studio into a snuff set!"

Frost rolled his eyes behind his mask.

"You want me to kill that deathleaper right? Some sacrifices need to be made to do so," Frost pointed out while turning to the very strange being next to the moth.

At first, it looked like a normal all be it tall human however his head wasn't at all normal, for where a human head would be was a wide yet thin screen. Similar to the one he had in his room back in the lust ring, a television screen if he remember correctly.

"You Vox?" Frost asked remembering the description that Val gave him not so long ago.

"That's me and I gotta say loving the redecoration here hellhound friend and- Oh," Vox blinked looking at Frost's legs.

"Something wrong?"

"Your legs," Frost grunted, this whole leg thing was getting old. Why couldn't people here just accept he had normal human-looking legs? All be it human in general shape, they did have fur and claws on their tones but that's different.

"They're fine nothing wrong with them I've had them since I was born. Now then Val tell me you can use electric abilities similar to a psyker," Frost asked to which Vox's eyebrow lifted.

"A what?" This time all three were looking at Frost strnagly.

"Doesn't manner. You can use electricity yes?"

Vox snapped his fingers, followed by a small arch of electricity to crackle between his fingers.

"Good if you could-"

"Now hold up their fitto. I'm not one of Val's employees here you can't order me around,"

"I'm not ordering you I'm simply trying to ask you if you could aid my endeavor to save your 'business' Otherwise there will be severe damage to your company as a whole with this death leaper slowly taking down your entire business until it will target you," Frost warned while Vox stared at him.

The two stared at one another while Vox's eye began to pulse slightly followed by a smile coming to his face.

"Oh I like you," Vox stated with a smile plastered on his screen-like face.

Lifting his hands in a casual gesture Vox hummed.

"What the hell? It's been a while since I killed someone why not?" Vox huffed. "So what you got,"

"If you could I was planning on having you use your power to electrify those harpoons whenever we have it skewered you fry it making this a lot quicker than it needs to be," Frost pointed out. "However I do have a few fallback plans if that fails,"

Val crossed his arms at Frost not being taken into account for this whole ordeal.

 He was watching Vox and Frost talk about the plan he barely noticed his desk receptionist walk up next to him.

"Excuse me, Sir," The rep spoke in a hesitant voice however Val wasn't paying attention. "Valentino sir?"

At the sound of raising her voice, Val turned to the rep.

"What?!" Valentino asked very annoyed by all this.

"Um... The explosives you ordered have arrived sir," She held up a clipboard to him causing the moth to snatch it out from her hands to look at it.

"Explosives! I didn't order any- Frost," Valentino growled. "That damn mutt!"

Regardless pier to his approach to Frost the rep cleared her voice although not wishing to piss off the already infuriated demon. 

"There one more thing sir," As she said this it felt like the entire room went dim as Val began to turn his head towards the rep in a sinister manner with his eyes glowing red.

"What. Else. Is. There,"

The rep shivered at the sight of her boss almost fully demonized.

"Overlord Carmilla Carmine is here with the shipment. She wishes to speak with you,"

"Carmilla? What does she want? I've already had enough on my plate! Tell her to-"

The overlord didn't conclude his sentence as a voice spoke up.

"Tell me what Val?"

"Oh great... Carmilla it's so good to see you again," Val spat through his teeth not happy to see her right now.

"You're a terrible liar Valentino but I'm not here for pleasantries so you can drop the act. I'm here on the account of what I heard recently," The overlord stated to which Val pushed the clipboard into the rep's chest.

"What did you hear? I beat it's... NONE OF YOUR GODDAMN BUSINESS!" Val hissed clearly not in the best mood.

However, as he enlarged himself to a partial demon form Carmilla crossed her arms unfazed by this action.

"It's my business when you order a large sum of explosives after the rumors I heard of someone coming into your studio slaughtering your clinical. So tell me did you start a war with someone?" She stepped forward. "You may be an overlord Valentino but you know we all have rules about starting up gang wars with each other. It's bad for business,"

"Again this is none of your damn concern you fucking slut! I've had an internal problem which I'm trying to fix if SOMEONE DIDN'T GO BEHIND MY BACK AND TURN MY STUDIO INTO A SAW MOVIE SET!" Valentino roared which got Frost's attention.

However, the outburst didn't intimidate Frost but rather caused him to notice the newest overlord in the room. Moving from the blueprint he walked over and pasted the enlarged and enraged moth to the weapon's dealer.

"Carmilla Carmine?" Frost asked to which she nodded. "Frost. I ordered the ordinance I had requested from your services,"

Carmilla looked at Frost baffled at the hellhound before her, yet, she was silently impressed how a low hellborn was giving Valentino so much hardship. She did her best not to smile but held out her hand to the canine.

"Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Frost," Frost reached out a hand to take the gesture.

"Likewise Ms. Carmine,"

Valentino had other plans, for he reached out grabbing Frost's wrist.

"You don't get to ignore me, dog! You ordered high-grade explosives! UNDER MY NAME!" Valentino roared.

"It's a small price to pay for your business survival wouldn't you say?" Frost answered snapped his hand away from Val, while this time Carmilla did break a slight smile by Frost's boldness to stand up to Valentino. 

"Small price?! Why I outta!" Val reached into his coat to pull out his revolver while Frost noticed this stepping back and reaching for his sidearm as well by Valentino's action.

"Enough!" Carmilla spoke out. "If you two wish to fight don't do it while my daughters and I are present! Now then would either one of you tell me what exactly is going on here?"

"It's none of your damn business woman-!"

"Val's business is currently the target of a Deathleaper," Frost conveyed much to Val's anger while Vox was silently laughing. 

"Deathleaper?" Carmilla's brow rose at Frost's response. "Which is a what?"

"A hunter. Deadly. Intelligent. Living weapon. Extremely dangerous. I wish I could tell you more ma'am but I'm not authorized to give any more information than that the rest is need to know," Frost answered.

Carmilla looked at Frost eyeing him up and down, none of his gear was any she was familiar with especially the weapons he held. She slightly narrowed her eyes at him before nodding satisfied by Frost's answer.

"Is that why you ordered such high-grade explosives?"

"Yes ma'am,"

"And this Deathleaper is all that dangerous as you make it sound,"

"Yes ma'am,"

"So why is it attacking Valentinos and the rest of the V's then?"

"Unknown. All I know is this. After it's done here it will continue with it's rampage and who knows what will happen then it may even start to target you," Frost answered Carmilla tensed by that comment.

"You're stopping it here before it does so correct?" She stared Frost down, even though he wore a mask she studied every bit of him trying to find any sign that he was lying to her.

"Yes ma'am," She found none.

Carmilla nodded slowly and turned to her daughters.

"Have the explosives set up," The two nodded and turned to the lift.

Turning back to him Carmilla looked at Frost once again.

"I wish you luck on your hunt Frost for I don't know what this deathleaper is but-"

"AHHHHHHHH!"

The three snapped their heads at the sound of screaming they all looked up to see a demon being lifted into the air by it's head as a large bug-like monster sat in the rafts it's tendril-like( mouth sucking on the insides of the demon it had taken up. They stared at the black and purple colored monster with some of it's body glowing while it feasted on the brains of the demon. 

(Update to this so my friend set me some art THE SAME TIME I POSTED THIS XD! So here is a model to get you the general idea however the one in this picture isn't 1-1, the one in the story possess dark purple carapace with black crown plate)

https://youtu.be/wj0ts9gwvbs

The whole floor stared at the creature as released on the dead demon in it's grasp hitting the ground with a flop, liquidized grey matter dripped from it's tendrils as the large beast stared down at them. Val was the first to move this caused the beast to hiss like an unholy cicada with it's tendrils flared out revealing the sharp teeth hidden under it's tendril maw.

All of the unprepared defenders panicked, raising their guns at the living weapon however their bullets did nothing to harm the beast as it leaped down from the rafts. It's weapon arms swung wildly slicing through a dozen demons in a single strike. It's movements were to fast for most to keep up with, for the next moment in a single move, the tyranid ripped a demon with it's talons while using it's blade arms to impale two demons next to it.

In three moves this beast had already killed a fourth of the room causing all to panic while it turned it's head to the rest. Frost raised his hellgun forward and opened fire at the tyranid however even his advanced weapon only seemed to tick it off. The las bolts danced on it's hardened carapace as it watched him strife across the room, it took a stance to once again leap.

Just as Frost wanted it too.

"HARPOONS NOW!"

Nothing...

Frost's eyes widen at the realization that the harpooners weren't at their post!

This allowed the assassin to take into the air ready to pounce on him, yet Frost slid across the room to a push cart leaping on top of it with a frag grenade in hand. Pulling the pin the cart sped across the room with him on it cooking the explosive, in a second later the nid rushed at him talons at the ready.

Getting off the push cart the warbeast vaulted over the rails leaving the grenade behind on the cart that was soon turned to scrap metal. A second later the anti-personal device exploded under the leaper's belly, this too wasn't enough to harm it. 

Just enough to distract it.

Climbing onto it's back Frost only had a moment to spare until he was ripped to pieces, taking that moment he shoved a sharp piece of rebar into the left eye of the leaper. 

It howled in pain at the sneak attack before the creature rose to it's full height throwing Frost off it's back. Holding it's face as it ripped the rebar out it turned to Frost it's tendrils twitching with rage ready to rush him.

Fortunately for Frost, the attack was halted by the appearance of a harpoon.

The metal hook ripped through its right weapon arm, straight through its less armed joint causing more damage than it would have if the harpoon hit the armored frame of the beast.

Looking up from his where he was Frost looked to see a smiling face looking at him from the harpoon's placement.

Angel Dust had saved his tail.

Giving a playful salute towards Frost which the warbeast returned in kind, the deathleaper however wasn't in such a mood. Turning towards Angel Dust it hissed ready to pounce however it was faced by a wall of bullets by the sudden appearance of Carmilla's escorting bodyguards.

The overlord who was in pure shock at what just happened in two minutes turned with horror to see her daughters returning with the explosives. The leaper in no mood ripped it's arm off and spirited at the reinforcements, even with only one weapon arm it made mince meat out of the bodyguards.

The weapons dealer rushed forward to defend her kids leaping in the air with her weaponized high heels but the leaper quickly noticed this swatting her out of the air like a bug. Seizing it the moment it pinned her letting it's tendrils expand roaring in her face causing the overlord to scoff at the smell of it's breath.

"Mother!" Carmilla watched in horror as her daughters rushed to her aid.

However, the leaper saw the glint in her, and if it could smile it would have.

It lifted her into the air before impaling her to a piece of fallen rafters while turning to her daughters, still alive Carmilla could only watch while the creature ran for her children. 

Unable to do anything but watch...

She watched as the warbeast once again got on the creature's back this time he was unable to get back on the creature's neck. The Leaper annoyed by this second attempt kicked and rolled trying to get Frost off.

Able to kick him off Frost hit the wall behind him as the leaper roared.

It had enough of this game.

Crawling over like a roach on speed, the leaper grabbed Frost by the collar of his armor and lifted him to it's tendril face. However, it flinched upon seeing the revealed face of Frost who stared back with disgust in his eyes.

The Deathleaper stared a Frost as if it...

"ANGEL!" Frost shouted while the leaper turned to where he was shouting to.

"Sayonara hentai face!" It watched as Angel Dust lifted a device in his hands and pressed it.

This caused the Deathleaper to realize what he was holding and quickly looked down at it's back.

The explosives that Frost had ordered were placed around it's lower back while the warbeast shielded his face with his armored limbs.

A micro-second later the explosives went off exploding in a fire of pure white.

This sent Frost flying across the room into a pile of discarded sex stained bedding which they provide for a soft landing. 

Smoke and dust filled the air while everyone present had their ears ringing from the blast.

Grunting Frost rose and grabbed his head, his brain felt like it was tossed through a red ork trukk and thrown back into his skull by a ork nob. Yet he rose biting through the pain and waved his hand through the dust.

"Damn, that was loud,"

Frost huffed reaching down and picking up his hellgun that was beside him lifting it.

While the cloud of heavy dust began to settle Frost saw that he wasn't the only one standing.

Angel Dust helped Carmilla from her impalement having the overlord lean on him, while Val rose from his hiding spot with vox. Leaving the warbeast to stand next to the overlord's two daughters with a handful of surviving demon defenders.

"Did we kill it?" Angel asked while Frost looked around unable to see it's remains.

The blast had blown out a chunk of the wall and part of the building leaving Frost to wonder.

Did it escape?

 He was wrong.

Like a spider, the Deathleaper rose from a pile of debris it was under and reached for Clara, one of Carmilla's daughters. It had it's lower second completely blown off and it was now missing one of it's lower arms and it's surviving weapon limb and had been mangled. However, using it's last working limb it grabbed the young demon and wrapped it's tendrils around Clara's scalp pulling her to it's mouth.

In a quick action, Frost dropped his hellgun and pulled a chainsword from his pack swinging the revying blade down between the tendrils. The machine's spirit was delighted to be finally used once again as it easily tore through the purple flesh of the Tyranid. It screeched in pain as it's tendrils were cut from its body but Frost wasn't done yet. 

Side stepping he used the momentum from his swing to bring his sword back up and then back down on the right eye of the tyranid. The teeth of his chainsword roared in delight as it cut through the black crown on its head into purple flesh and then into it's brain.

For a good minute, Frost kept slicing through it's skull until the death leaper's body stopped moving and went limp like the demon it had drained before.

Frost huffed while his chainsword had it's fill of the green toxic tyranid blood it was now caked in. The warbeast pulled on the blade to pull the sword out but the damn thing got stuck, Frost tugged and pulled until he lifted his leg putting on the tyranid's shoulder to get better leverage.

It still would come out.

So he gave his sword a quick rev slicing itself free.

Flinging some blood off Frost stared at the Deathleaper before him while Angel Dust with Carmilla went over next to him. Clara hugged her mother while the overlord returned the gesture, Angel looked towards Frost.

"It's it dead now?" 

Narrowing his eyes Frost drew his slug pistol and fired into the exposed skull of the Tyranid assassin. Mag dumped hot liquid metal into it's carved brain matter Frost was not done, for good measure, he lifted his chainsword and brought it down on the neck of the tyranid severing the head from the body. 

"Had to be sure," Frost commented while Angel Dust simply elbowed him in the side with a smile.

Frost return the smile however it quickly faded when he laid eyes on Vox and Valentino, he huffed pissed at the two who hid for most of the fight. turning to the surviving jerry cans Frost got a thought.

Walking over he grabbed two of the cans and returned to the corpse held Carmilla's attention.

"What are you- It's still not dead?!" She spotted the two cans but Frost shook his head.

"It's most likely dead but I have to be sure. Pitty I was hoping to get a trophy out of this but having an excuse to burn this thing in Valentino's building is worth it," Frost poked the top off while looking at the two V's who were preoccupied talking with one another.

Angel whistled with his head turned as if to say 'I ain't seeing anything' allowing the warbeast to pour onto the Tyranid's remains. Carefully he picked up the mangled head of the Tyranid while it dripped with molten metal away from the gas-covered flesh. Dropping it, Frost reached to his belt grabbed his lho-stick pack, and pulled out one to smoke.

"Got one more?" Angel asked while Frost nodded handing the spider one and offering the overlord a stick however she turned it down.

Grabbing his light Frost burned the tip of his then turned it over to Angel who took a drag out of his lho-stick but began to choke up.

"What the shit? What in this?" Angel asked not familiar with the taste of dried Grox-grass.

"Dried herbs," Frost plainly stated while taking a drag from his while blue smoke was exhaled from his nose.

"Frost," Carmilla grabbed his shoulder.

"Hm?"

"Thank you for saving my daughter," The overlord thanked to which Frost nodded.

"Happy to help ma'am now then-"

"FROST!" Valentino's voice roared. "This shit show is all your fault you ruined my studio, trashed my crew, and blew a fucking hole in my wall! What's the big idea!"

Frost walked forward grabbing his lho-stick.

"Listen here Val. We were jumped by surprise completely unprepared that wasn't what I had planned however it was YOUR crew that weren't at their posts whenever the tryanid was in place leaving me to improvise," Frost then turned to Vox. "AND YOU! WHERE THE HELL WHERE YOU WHEN ANGEL HARPOON THE LEAPER? We agreed you would use your electrical abilities to shock the hell out it but you were nowhere to be seen!"

"Hey! We TALKED about it there was no agreement I would risk my neck for this plan of yours! and besides, we killed it anyways,"

"You did nothing. Angel and I did! Now Val you make good on our agreement or burning your studio down will be the less of your worries,"

"Burning my studio? What are you-"

Frost threw his still-lit Lho-stick on the death leaper setting it into a blazing inferno.

"My employer will expect that call very soon," Frost walked forward past Valentino who was wide eyed at the flames stopping at Carmilla's second daughter who held Frost's head gear.

Handing it to him Frost smiled taking the piece of armor and exited via the lift.

-

(Later)

Carmilla stood under the studio watching as hell's fire department attempted to stop the fire from spreading to any more floors leaving her to smile. That hellhound was either really bold or stupid to mess with the vs but she didn't care the mutt was good in her book.

"Mother," Carmilla turned her head Clara. "I think you should see this,"

Her brow raised she slowly began to walk due to her injuries but held firm not to show weakness in a the public eye. Walking over to the truck they brought the explosives for Frost, it was clear to see something had crashed on it and was now covered with a tarp.

"What is it?"

Clara lifted the cover and Carmilia peaked under what was hidden.

She only smiled.

"Call the weavers I have a task for them,"

(Meanwhile with Frost)

Opening the door to the house Frost stumbled in, to his surprise the place was almost silent usually it had a part or 'something' else going on. Only the sound of the downstairs TV was on, Frost walked forward seeing Verosika on the couch watching that soap opera.

"Lady Mayday,"

Her head snapped towards him while he walked behind the couch.

"Frosty! How did it go?"

"Mhph," Frost plopped down his head looking up at the ceiling.

"That bad?"

"Yeah but Val is going to get you that contact of yours," Frost commented.

"When did he say,"

"He didn't,"

"But how do you know he will?" Verosika asked.

"He will," Frost closed his eyes.

"Tired?" The succubus questioned with Frost answered by nodding his head with his eyes still shut.

"Give me a minute I just need to rest my eyes,"

"Take your time," Verosika said with a smile returning to the tv.

For a good moment, Verosika and Frost sat in silence while the show played out between them when a question came to her mind. Verosika turned back to Frost to ask her query but the warbeast was already sloughed over lightly snoring, The succubus then got an idea.

Gently she grabbed Frost's shoulder and gently pulled him down letting his head rest on her lap, watching her how while she gently petted the sleeping canine.

HOLY SHIT! THAT WAS A LONG ASS CHAPTER!

Longer than I had planned but still more for you guys.

I hope you enjoy it because it took me about a week to write this.

I'm sorry there weren't as many gifs and pictures as the last fight but you can only do so many that could match up with what was going on in the story. Or there wasn't any timestaps for the music but I imagine you cans can use your imagination.

Now then the part where I'm getting excited for Frost meets QUEEN B!
