Infinite Inferno: The Nexus

"Aww...I'm shakin with joy. Can't say I'm not surprised though, didn't know you and the new hound had a relationship. Well, eh" Climbing up Coal's fur to Join me HB grabs a shaggy clump of infinite black fur in his small hand, "Leds go then. Tellem to head for the nexus, soul bonds work the same in hell as they do on Earth. He'll understand you."
I furrow my brow and pretend to know what the fck he's talkin about. "Look I gotta ask first."
"Ho boy...here it comes."
"You're a movie character. You Ron Perlman in a mask or...? A lunatic demon with a fan fetish or what? "
"I'm not a character, asshole. I'm the real thing. Mush the mutt and I'll tell ya the story."
Would you turn that down. "Hah hyah!" Coal bolts forward witha black streak of lightning in his wake as they streamline through the abyss in no time. "So?"
"You a science man?"
"What you think?"
"Me neither. Wish I was though. In science there's a theory, if the universe is infinite so are the realities. If the realities are infinite than any story, book, movie, camp tale you ever heard happened or wil happen at some point in time, somewhere in the universe of universes. "
"So you're sayin you're one of those Universes Hellboy, the real Mccoy."
"Nah that's the blue furry bastard. He went up. Heaven and Hell differ in one major way. Heaven? It's separated just like Universes, a heaven for each universe. Hell."
Coal slides to a stop tearing up a bridge of cold grey brick
"So...everything evil that ever was or will be, in any universe. Is down here roasting. "
"Yer not as stupid as you come off. That's right. The Ol, 'Infinite Inferno' grows with the universes and the sinners. Like a Boa."
HB slides off the ass of Coal and looks up, "I hate to tell ya but your world is gone. Dissapeared for reasons above my pay grade. But there's another one, Ripe for the pickin."
Now I'm suspicious. I only saw some of the movie but enough to know he's not made by my brand. "Why are you helping me?"
"Same reason American's go to the desert for two years. orders. Your boy Surkit, he's in front of the gate waiting for you."
He pulls a cohiba from his pocket and lights it on his flaming crown "To put it flat, your an anomaly. A chink in the universal chain. If you two are allowed to occupy Hell, nobody knows what the prolonged effects are. "
"Why's that...?" Coal's rearing now like a wild bronco, like I said he's smart. He's not interested in being in Hell anymore than me, or you would.
A ruby smile spreads across his lips, "That's for you to find out now ain't it? Now: Rules."
"When you get topside you'll be human again. If you die you'll come back here, you come back here you'll get sent back topside. Only it might not be the same universe. So treat the second chance like it's your last." He smacks Coal on the ass with a cigar roasting in his mouth, getting kicked like a mule before the hell hound Dire wolf runs head long with it's forked tongue out towards Surkit's back as he stands contemplating in front of a luminescent gateway. The dog rams him and the three are sent riding a blue tunnel sky bound.
