Demon Hunter J
Here's a short action story I wrote for a friend who held a contest for his fursona on FA. Note that even though this story is rated mature, it's feels very much lighthearted. I rated it as such because of the mild violence wihin it. Enjoy!

There exist strange creatures known as demons. These monsters from another realm come to Earth causing nothing but havoc. They kill and devour the populace of many places; no one was a match for those beasts. However, there was one group of mercenaries who stood a chance against the demons, and rid the Earth of them. They were known as Demon Hunters, and they had the powers to vanquish them. Among the group was the most powerful demon hunter of them all; his name was Kyuubi the Nine Tailed Fox. With all of the power he had, he could single handedly take out any demon that came in his way. However, as time went on Kyuubi and the other demon hunters had passed away; their spirits forever roaming throughout the land.
It would be assumed that without them, the demons would continue to wreak havoc all throughout the land. However, the demons had given life to their offsprings, who would then carry out their legacy. The offspring of Kyuubi was a one tailed fox by the name of J. A red fox, who wore a red shirt, a white and blue jacket, black jeans, black shoes, and a white and blue head bandanna. He seemed to be just your everyday normal fox, but he actually had the powers of his father deep within him. However, he was vastly inferior to Kyuubi in every way. It was said that the number tails on the fox showed how powerful he was, with one tail being the lowest of powers, and all nine being the highest of powers. Despite that, J wasn't at all bothered by his lack of full and ultimate power, and was just happy the way he was; enjoying life to his fullest. His story was about to begin now.
In a far off region, there was a small town that was constantly ravaged by demons. Many homes were destroyed and burned ablaze, and many lives were lost. It didn't take the townsfolk long enough to find out where the demons resided, but unfortunately for them, there was no brave or strong enough to get rid of them. So every night, the townsfolk would board up their homes, locked the doors and windows, and blocked them with the furniture they had to keep themselves safe. Daylight was only the safest time for them to go about their business.
It was here that J's story began, as the fox was just standing right out in front of the demons' base. "Oh man, I was just on vacation", he sighed and shook his head. "How did I end getting myself into this mess?" Before getting down to business, the fox began to recall how this all happened. It had all began when J was inside a restaurant; eating his meal as he enjoyed his vacation. Within that same restaurant were the townsfolk who were discussing amongst themselves of their dilemma. They were discussing the demons that continued to attack the town, and about the demon hunter who went out to kill them, but hadn't return. One of the townsfolk; a bear, slammed his fist down against the counter in his anger, and shouted out to see if there was anybody strong enough to take care of the demons. Every one of the townsfolk were silent and hung their heads low as the bear looked about, until his eyes eventually made contact with J.
Unlike all the other townsfolk, J did not have his head low or seemed to be silent; he was just enjoying his meal. "Hey, you there", the bear shouted as he walked over to the fox. He brought his paw to the canine's shoulder; stopping J from eating his food, and turning his head to face the bear. "I've never seen you around here before", he started conversing. "However, I can definitely tell that you're different from everyone here. Now, how about be negotiate something?"
After remembering the whole conversation with bear, J came out of his thoughts and back to reality. "Well, I guess there's complaining now", he said to himself. "Might as well do the good deed of vanquishing those demons." He took a few steps forward; the wind blowing through his fur as he walked in. There was nothing but silence and the place appeared to be empty. The fox looked around in every direction for a bit, and felt the urge to shout. "Hey; hello; are there any demons here?"
There was no answer to his, just more silence. J just shrugged it off and continued on walking, unaware of a couple of eyes watching from behind. The eyes started to follow right behind the fox; the eyes belonging to one of the demons. The demon rushed forward to J, and when it was in a close enough range, it launched itself to the fox. However, before the demon could even strike him, J quickly dodged the attack and counter attacked by slashing the demon with a spear he summoned. Suddenly, more demons had just came out from hiding; surrounding the fox.
"Ah, I see that there are more of you pests", J said boredly. "I guess it's time for me to take you all down, right here right now."
The demons all launched themselves forward to the fox, but J wasn't worried at all. As the demons came within range, J had become serious as he kicked and slashed at the demons with tremendous speed. After taking them out, J started rushing forward to the demon's base, and in the process was fending himself off against more demons that came his way. Whenever there were demons that would attack him, the fox would counterattack by punching, kicking, or slashing them with his spear. Within the base, J had eventually made it to a series of stairs that spiraled all of the way up.
Elsewhere, the lead demon of the base was watching everything that was happening within his chamber; watching through what looked like a crystal ball. Unlike the his minions that looked like shadowy creatures with glowing red eyes, the lead demon had a solid muscular build, with horns, wings, a tail, and three eyes. He commanded more of his minions to kill and devour the intruding fox. If they were to fail and the fox came to him, he would personally take care of him; a pair of glowing eyes appeared behind him.
Back with J, the fox eventually came to a spiral staircase that leads upwards. His eyes traveled upward as he stared up the staircase, "I bet this will lead to the leader of these monsters", J thought. Not wasting anytime, the fox continued his way upward along the spiraling staircase, but it wasn't going to be easy for him as more demons appeared. The demons had appeared coming from both directions; following right behind him, and rushing to him from the front. This wasn't so much a problem for him, as J only smirked as he charged his way past the demons in front of him; slaughtering them along the way. J had made it to the top; standing right outside a pair of doors, but he didn't forget about the demons behind him. He watched as they were coming for him, and at that moment, instead of using his spear he was charging up an attack within his paws, as blue flames surrounded his paws and a blue orb of energy was charging between his paws. After charging it up enough, J had then decided to let loose his attack at the approaching demons, "FOX FIRE", J shouted as he shot a blue beam of flames at the demons; completely obliterating them.
After taking a deep breath, J pushed open the doors and entered the main chamber of the base. There right in front of him, sat the lead demon sitting on his throne as he eyed the fox. "So, I take it you're the leader of those demons I just annihilated", J spoke. "Heh, you look easy enough for me to kill." J summoned his spear into his arms again, as the demon in front of him began to chuckle. "You insolent fox; do you really think you can kill me?" J walked a few steps forward, "Like I just said, you look easy enough for me to kill", and then J began to run up to the demon. When he got within range, the fox had his spear ready as jumped toward the demon, and struck at him. However, his attack never made contact and was instead deflected by another attack. J landed on his feet and when looked back at the demon, someone else now stood in front of him. The person in front of him was a green dragon in blue jeans, brown boots, and a red vest; holding a sword as his weapon.
"What the...?" "Hehe; thanks for coming to my aid, my demon hunter."
J let out a gasp upon hearing what the demon had just said. This dragon was supposedly the demon hunter that the bear at the restaurant told him about; alive and well. However, there was something off about him; like he was being controlled. "Now my demon hunter, kill this fox that stands before us." J gritted his fangs in frustration; he was supposed to take down the demon before him, but now he has to fight a possessed demon hunter. Not too much of a problem, he just had to make sure not to hurt him too much, or kill him. There was no way J was going to be defeated right here, after he came so far.
J and the demon stared each other down for quite some time. Clenching their weapons the two ran, jumped towards one another. The both sent an attack at each other, which was both blocked by their weapon and then jumped away from each other. They then jumped back at each other again, a sent a flurry of slashing attacks at one another, which were either blocked or dodged. During the flurry of slashing attacks, J had charged up one of his fist was emblazoned with his powers, and when he had the chance he dodged an attack from the dragon, then countered by punching him in the chest. The attack connected and sent the demon hunter dragon back a few spaces; the dragon then held angry grin on his face. "What are you doing; don't let him defeat you", the demon spoke. "Hurry up and kill that fox."
Following his order, the dragon began to charge up an attack within his mouth. Seeing this, J decided to rush toward to the demon hunter, and try to stop him from performing his attack. Unfortunately for him, the dragon didn't need to fully charge up his attack, and fired it out at the fox. J gasped before quickly blocking the attack with his spear. After he defended himself, J opened his eyes and was shocked to see the dragon directly in front of him. Without reacting fast enough, the possessed demon hunter struck the fox, and sent his spear flying out of his paws; landing farther away from them. Caught off guard by this, J was now suddenly knocked on his back, and as he tried to get back up, the dragon kept him pinned down by bringing a foot down on his chest. As J struggled to get the foot off of him, the dragon brought his blade above the fox's head, and slowly raised it up; J started to sweat in panic.
"Now, stab your blade down through his skull."
The dragon nodded his head and brought his blade down. J saw the attack coming and knew he was done for, so he closed his eyes as he waited for his end to come. Luckily for him, before the blade could stab into his forehead, the dragon's sword just suddenly vanished from his claws; surprising the demon and the possessed demon hunter. When J noticed he was still alive, the fox opened one of his eyes and looked up. He opened his other eye as he stared up at dragon who just stared into his claws in confusion.
"WHAT", the demon shouted. "How can your own powers just run out on you? No matter, you still have the upper hand. Now finish off that fox." The dragon nodded once again as he brought his fist up, and while he did that J took the time to remove his bandanna from his head, and throw it into the dragon's face. This distracted him as he tried to remove the bandanna from his face, and stepped off of the fox. J then kicked the demon hunter in the groin, knocking him unconscious on the ground. With the dragon out of commission, J got back on his feet and retrieved his spear as he rushed toward the demon. The demon brought out tentacles from his back to attack the approaching fox, but unfortunately for him J effortlessly dodged all of his attacks, and threw his spear into one of his eyes. This distracted the demon as he tried to remove the spear from his eye, and as that was happening J had fully charged up his beam attack, and released it upon the demon.
"FOX FIRE!"
The demon had taken the full force of J's attack and screamed out in agony, as his body burned away into ashes. The demon threat had now come to end for that small town. After the demon was completely obliterated, the dragon had returned back to his normal self as he regained his consciousness; J had walked over to his aid to help him up.
"Oh man; what happened", the dragon asked in confusion. "You mean you don't remember anything that happened", J replied. "Nothing at all and for reason my groin hurts; like I've been kicked there or something."
J chuckled and sweat dropped for a bit upon remembering what he had did to the dragon. After that he explained to him what had all happened; from the demon attacks in the small town, him going to get rid of them, and killing the lead demon and saving the demon hunter. After listening to all that had been said, the dragon suddenly remembered everything that he was supposed to do, and started to freak out. He then grabbed J and quickly flew back to the small town. Upon returning back, J was rewarded with a free meal as a gift for killing all of the demons, while dragon continually apologized for not stopping the demons to bear. The bear did accept the dragon's apology but decided not to pay him, and instead gave all of the money to J; the dragon fell to his knees as waterfall tears streamed down his eyes. Being nice, J decided to give half of the money to demon hunter, seeing as how it wasn't his fault that he couldn't stop them.
"Oh man, thanks a lot, um..." "The name's J. And you are?" "I'm Natsuru; nice to meet you J, and thanks again for sharing the money." "Don't mention it; just being nice is all, hehe." "Yeah, but now I need to think of a way to owe you. Hmm..."
The dragon known as Natsuru began to think of how he can give something back in return for fox's kindness. An idea popped into his head at what he thought was a good enough reward. J was puzzled by this and then was confused when Natsuru cuffed his chin. The dragon had then pulled the fox into a passionate kiss for no real reason, surprising J and shocking the bear who was watching. After he ended the kiss, the stared at each other for a while; both of their faces red. Natsuru then started walk out of the restaurant and waved good bye to J. "See ya around J; until we meet again at some point in the future." As the dragon had left, J just stood there dumbfounded at what had just happened.
"Um...what just happened", he said.
END!
