Carnage Unleashed!

One of the thing Vincent was wrong about was his belief that he knew how to control carnage beasts.

Vincent had calculated that after a great battle like the one he had just had with Shiva, his carnage beasts would rest for at least 30 days before their violent urges became too strong for his toaserillas (toaster-head gorillas) to control.

In fact, Vincent had mistranslated the text about the care and feeding of humans who have been transmuted into these viscious creatures. The actual minimum recovery time was, in fact, only six hours!

So it was that not long after Vincent departed for his vacation that the beasts began to grow restless. They needed a strong, controlling mind on the other end of their leashes to guide them, and the toasterillas simply didn't have what it took.

The toasterillas tried their best, but eventually, the thrashings of the beast became too great, and the one trying to control Despair simply lost its grip on the leash.

The minute the leash end hit the floor, it winked out of existence. Despair was now free to rend and kill, and that is exactly what it did to its hapless keeper. Like a chain reaction, the other three toasterillas also lost their battle and were, in turn, disposed of.

Now the four beasts rampaged through Vincent's tower, smashing and destroying at will. Eventually, they came to the door out. It was too small to acommodate them - so they simply tore apart the wall around it until they could depart.

1. Once outside, the four beasts scattered, heading in different directions.
2. Once outside, Death and Despair headed one way, Sweetness and Light another.
3. Once outside, the four beasts stayed together as a pack.
4. Once outside, the beasts turned on each other.
5. Despite making a hole in the wall, the beasts found something was keeping them from leaving.
6. As they left, their leashes reformed, and were taken up by a mysterious man in a green robe.
