The spiderlings started to make their way inside the building where we were for a moment there was an awkward silence like something really bad was about to unfold. Then those void spiderlings from the end of the world outside started to make their way inside and our other escape was blocked by skeleton soldiers. The Spiders there looked hungry, well looked probably isn't the right word. Like at all. Since, ya know they have metal face plates for actual faces and yet anyone even my human self could sense the hunger coming from them.
"Kreeeeeeeeee, You humans look so delicious to me. I wonder just how your blood will taste when I suck the juice from your body. I love human blood so much more tasty than cows blood. Wouldn't you agree sister?" The lead spiderling said. The spiderling itself was just as big as the wolf if not bigger. It was 12' in height and about
"Oh Yes, I would most certainly agree with you dear sister, the blood of a human is just delicious for a spider. They're like little flies waiting to fall right into our trap and be drained of all of their life energy."
"Of course sister, these people are a plague on our world and their population must be reduced. I see no harm in eating a few tasty morsels."
The spiders crashed the party by digging ostentiably digging a hole the size of a horse out of the wall and plowing right through. The damage that was done to the building was phenomenal but the other walls still held together. Which I suppose says something about the old archetecture of that time period.
"Cool, what the hell is that, more entertainment for the party. Is this some type of costume party, well I got to say whatever that thing is it looks pretty cool. Maybe, some type of CGI? Hey, are they shooting a movie?" One of the party goers says.
"Hey look at that thing with it's metallic looking body, do you think it's some new type of fancy animatronic. I knew that this city was known for the film industry but I didn't think that we would see some of that shooting done right here." Said in man in his mid twenties.
"I warned you." Said Confidence, "You need to take your friends and go to the summoning circle that's waiting for you?"
Summoning Circle, Like the type of circle that's used for summoning spirits and demons? I mused. Are we going to another world? Like in one of those isekai shows that are all the rage these days? Now if you're wondering how a werewolf is able to watch isekai shows. I thought that they were all lumberjacks that lived in the woods or something along those lines...
I'm sorry to say you are quite mistaken. I was a huge watcher and reader of isekai shows and stories back before I got isekaied myself and found out what I was. Like anyone of my age back then I was ostentiably a nerd.
"Yes, a summoning circle just like in those old jrpg games, Like Summoner's Midnight and Log Dusk Online, we need to take you to a place where you can level up and get used to your new abilities safely without the constant threat of invasion from the void army." Confidence said to me.
There's no way we can be chosen ones or even adventurers what do you think this is? Anime? DnD? A JRPG? I told the wolf thinking back at it as hard as I could. I was seriously not in the mood for this and seriously what did this wolf think we were some rag tag group of orphaned children who could just get up and leave to go adventuring in another world. We were all adults, we had jobs, lives and responsibilities here in this world.
"It's the reason I was here in the first place, you and your friends are very special to this world the world we are going to and the universe as a whole. You are the only ones that can save the entire multiverse from the threat that Void Chaos and the void demons pose." Said the wolf lowering it's head as if bowing to reverence at me and my friends.
"You know sister, these tasty looking humans don't even seem to know that we're about to eat them. That means that their blood won't be all tough and ruined from fear but supple and juicy just like you like."
"Oh yes, sister, for sure. I'm so sick of sucking blood from humans that are ruined by fear. Their blood tastes so bitter... so metallic... these humans are too stupid to be afraid of us. Not like those in the other worlds we conquered."
"Sister, I can taste them right now and boy do they smell heavenly, can't I just have one little bite, I haven't had anything to eat for so long now. I don't think I remember the last time I tasted a human and it's not like they NEED the blood when they join our army."
Just like that a void spiderling descended upon the humans of the nightclub and one of the females who were commenting on the spiders looking cool got their blood sucked until they looked like a deflated wet balloon of skin and bones. She was somehow still alive but that wouldn't be for two long.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
With that the spiders started to attack some of the patrons of Heaven Rouge and all hell broke loose. While there were at least 500 people within the nightclub this didn't make up for the amount of carnage that was occuring.
One patron had been cut in two by one of the follower spiders large limbs, many had been rammed by the lead spider's large body and quite a few had their blood sucked and their nutrients devoured by the third void spiderling.
"Holy shit, those things are monsters genuine monsters. And they want to eat us. They want to eat us all" One of the female patrons screamed.
"Oh no, unh-uh. I did not sign up to be monster chow. I have a wife and kids at home to take care of. Plus, I'm too handsome to become monster chow." The African American bouncer said.
"I'm Jamael by the way, I know it's no time for introductions but since I said something like that I kinda feel like I need to introduce myself. That other one is my best friend Carlton don't worry Mr. Wiseman we'll protect you from the monsters." The black bodyguard of the producer and studio executive said with a wink.
"Well, that certainly isn't like any trouble I've ever seen." Said the caucasian bodyguard "I'm not sure we got the chops for that, seems way over our pay grade." Continued Carlton.
"Come on Carlton, we need to protect Mr. John." Said Jamael making it full clear that he intended to fight to protect their boss. The mani in the golden suit who's name was apparently John something or other.
"And who the fuck is that?" Said Carlton "Why would I stick my neck out for a John? I don't know a John." Carlton said all franctic. He unlike Jamael was in no mood to deal with monsters today. Not to mention spiders had always been one of his phobias and they sort of freaked him out.
"You know John, at least I call him John, maybe you know him as Mr. Joyce. You know, the guy we's was hired to protect?" He genuinely did not know how Carlton someone who had apparently worked for their boss just as long as he had "I mean unless you's dont's wants that pay raise in which case I'm more than happy to take that from you."
"You wouldn't dare do something like that would you? After all this time you reveal yourself to be a snake Jamael." Said Carlton.
"I still have to pay you back for the little prank you did to my person last week." Said Jamael, his eyes filled with that "try me" expression that you see too often amongst friends that have known each other for a long time.
"You're not taking my paycheck and that's final." Said Carlton extremely furious at what Jamael had just playfully threatened
"You know what" said Jacques, "I'm not too happy these spiders think they can kill all of these people and you know what it's us men. We are supposed to be the protectors. Well let's get our ship in gear and protect these women and people who can't protect themselves.
"Aren't you afraid?" Alex said "I mean I'm not afraid if you're not but for some reason I'm not afraid of these monsters. I've always wanted to play the hero, just like in my JRPGs and just like in the isekai light novels and litrpg books I read. I think I'm ready to take them on if you are Jacques."
"I know I really don't like it when monsters think they can just come in here and wreck up the place. And you know what? I'm not in the mood to deal with some monster bullshit." says Monroe, Monroe was always something of a leader and he was showing off that part of him in a crisis.
"Protect them, you're the only ones who can" Said confidence. And for some reason as she said that all worry, all reason that I might have been scared of the monsters despite the bloodshed that might have occurred to me vanish. In that moment I was a leader and I was a protector.
I strode up to the stage to make my speech to everyone around me hoping that they would listen if they did in fact listen to me the 500, now maybe 300 of us vs three spiders, I was sure in my heart of hearts that we would be able to take them.
“Now if I might have everyone’s attention. Men, those of us in the ancient past, we used to be warriors. And in those times we wanted to we needed to protect the weak the down trodden, back in those ancient times when the women were gathering berries and the children were learning how to do domestic work and probably their homework… You know what men did. We were out there we fought.” I didn’t know what I was saying, I didn’t know what had come over me but part of me knew that if we were to get out of here we needed to rally our troops.
“Yes, that’s right on the money, we are men we fight to protect the women and children at home. That’s our duty. It’s our biology, it’s the reason we’re even alive. And some people might have forgotten it… but I sure as hell didn’t.” Said Carlton full of renewed energy and vigor. As if a few moments ago he wasn’t just cowering away at the monsters.
We fought not only for our survival but we fought for our food, we fought to defend our families and yet you weak cowards can’t even fight to defend the women here tonight by some spiders who look like if we fought back with our strength in numbers.”
“Yeah, ain’t no spider is going to take my woman, ain’t no spider is going to harm my woman. We have enough people to fight back. What do we do when we see spider mother fuckers coming in here eating and killing everyone like we they’re personal snack.” Said Jamael.
“We kill them.” Said Carlton.
“Yeah, kill them, kill them all. They’re nothing we’re humans we’re the dominant predators on this earth.”
“Let’s show these spiders that us humans aren’t to be messed with! What will we do?”
“Kill them!!!!” Said the entire room with a single thunderous and booming voice.
Just then the skeleton army came through the door. Everyone grabbed anything they could, chairs, chef knives, silverware, I took the microphone staff and made a make shift spear out of it. Some of them took out their guns and decided to show what good marksmen they could be. When the skeleton army appeared an collective force of about 20 or so, we could see in their eyes a collective expression of “Oh Fuck.”
