Chapter Text

The Pride ring was buzzing... or at least the bar Fizz and Blitz were in was. The two were drinking beers and having a fun time.

"Well, Fizz, my oldest friend, hope you're enjoying your last night as a free man." Blitz said.

"You make it sound like I'm going to prison." Fizz said with a chuckle, "I'm just getting married."

"I know, but soon you'll be gone and out of my life forever!" Blitz said, being a bit dramatic.

"HA! And I thought being married was already good enough."

"Ah, fuck you." Blitz said, "So... feeling nervous?"

"Honestly? Incredibly nervous." Fizz said, "I mean, Emily and Charlie already call me Uncle, but... tomorrow I will be their uncle."

"And you'll be great at it. Well, as great as you already are." Blitz said with a grin. "It'll be great practice for when you have a kid someday or adopt like I did with Loonie."

"I bet, though I don't think I'll ever be as good of a father as you." Fizz said.

"Hehehehe, yeah. I guess I am pretty great." Blitz said with a proud grin.

The two drank their beers.

"So how are you and Verosika doing?" Fizz asked.

Blitz had a moment where his face dropped.

"I mean… we text… like once or twice month, but… I don't know." Blitz said, "It's been a year since the anti-blitz party… it just feels like I'm not moving forward with anything."

"Which means you aren't going backwards either." Fizz said.

"And that means I'm stuck in place between decent and shitty." Blitz said with a small sigh. "Im Ditty."

"No. I think your past decent, it takes a lot to admit you faults and grow from them." Fizz said with a smile.

"You know, Fizz, let's not talk about this stuff, this is your night." Blitz said, "And I hear you're now a Great Uncle as well. How's that going? Teach the kid any slurs yet?"

"Blitz, she's eight months old, she can barely keep her eyes open for thirty minutes." Fizz said, "I've only seen her for like two days, the Queens are VERY protective of her."

"How protective?" Blitz asked as a joke.

"They could order one of their servants to execute another if they even LOOKED at Lucy the wrong way." Fizz said.

"Oh shit…" Blitz said in surprise.

"Yeah, don't mess with them." Fizz said, "Luckily I have uncle privileges that keep me safe from that... you? Not so much."

"Hey, I'm not looking to babysit the new princess. Or change her unholy diapers." Blitz said with a shiver.

"Hey, the kid is 3/4 angel, I'd say they're holy diapers." Fizz said, taking a swig of beer, "How's business been?"

"I got a few people to kill this weekend, no big deal." Blitz said, shrugging. "Got to do it alone since M and M are a bit busy with their future child."

"Kinda glad to hear about Millie being pregnant." Fizz said, smiling. "Those two deserve it, they're the definition of love."

"Yeah... which is good for you because I'm pretty sure Millie wanted to kill you after the whole Ozzie's incident." Blitz said with a cheeky grin.

"It was almost two years ago, come on!" Fizz said.

"When that woman hates you, good luck getting off that list." Blitz said, pointing at the bar counter.

Fizzarolli groaned as he chugged the rest of his beer, just what he needed in his conscious.

A brutal, potentially revenge craved soon to be mother.

He then got a phone call. He pulled out his phone and looked at it.

"Well, looks like your soon to be husband is calling." Blitz said.

"Yeah, sorry, I have to take this." Fizz said, standing up, "I'll be right back."

Fizz walked away and Blitz leaned against the bar. He pulled out his phone and went to his messages. He started typing, and thankfully Asmodues had paid for him to take a writing class. He started typing.

'Stolas, it's been a while since we last spoke and I... I'm sorry for...'

He deleted it and put his phone away. For the past year, it was the same thing, try to reach out, but never click send... he didn't have it in him to do so.

'Ugh! Why can't I just sent a simply text?' Blitz thought.

He put his head and the bar when Fizz came back.

"You good buddy?" Fizz asked.

"Yeah… yeah, just too much beer." Blitz said, pulling his head up and smiling a bit. "Come on, the night is young and we have a lot more places to check out."

He put an arm around Fizz's shoulder and the two left the bar… and Blitz tried to forget the failed text…. Stolas probably didn't want to speak to him anyway.

Chapter Text

In the Goetia mansion, Stolas was texting on his phone, trying to find the words to say.

'Blitz, it is me. Stolas. I know it's been some time since we last talked but I-' Stolas quickly deleted the whole message before trying again. 'Hello, Blitz. It's been a while since we talked but I wanted to check in to see-'

"No no, not that either." Stolas muttered as he deleted his words again.

He put his phone on the table and rub his hands through his hair (feathers?). It had been a year since they last seen each other, let alone speak to each other… Stolas had no idea how to even approach the subject of… everything. They had both made mistakes, big ones, and the two instead of trying to work it out had decided to be worse to each other. He heard the sound of the door opening and saw Octavia peer in.

"Dad, are you okay?" She asked, "You've been in here for almost three hours."

"What? It's been that long?!" Stolas said in shock, looking at the kitchen clock.

"Yeah, ever since you made dinner." Octavia said.

"Well, then I guess I've sulked long enough." Stolas said, before looking at Octavia, "You look quite ravishing my dear, where are you headed?"

"Uh... Loona wanted me to attend a party with her fiances." Octavia said, adjusting her outfit.

"That's today? Oh where does the time go?" Stolas said as he stood up. "Let me get dressed and I can drop you off."

"Dad, it's fine, I can get there myself." Octavia said, "You... seem a bit distressed right now."

"My distress aside, I'd still like to drop you off to be safe. You know how certain parts of the Hellborn population don't like our family." Stolas said.

'Especially Wrathian imps.' Stolas thought, unintentionally thinking of Blitz again.

"I mean... I guess you could." Octavia said, shrugging. "But the Gluttony ring is considered one of the safer rings."

"You never know, sweetie. Remember that Striker fellow?" Stolas said before going to get dressed. "Assassins like him can be anywhere."

'He just seems paranoid but he's not wrong.' Octavia thought.

A fewinutes later, Stolas returned shortly and led Octavia to the vehicle.

"How long the party be?" Stolas asked.

"Just a few hours, it'll end around midnight." Octavia said as she opened the door.

"Then I'll be waiting for you outside, I have nothing else going on tonight." Stolas said.

"Nothing else?" Octavia asked as they both got in.

"Nothing but a "family" gathering but honestly I never felt welcome at those. Especially with your mother still "technically" part of the Ars Goetia." Stolas said with a sigh.

"Yeah, I can agree there." Octavia said, agreeing on how Stella was a nightmare to deal with.

The ride was silent after that, neither father or daughter talking as they both just wanted to get through the ride in a way. Inly the radio being heard with its music.

"…I'm sorry, you know. About everything." Stolas said suddenly.

"Dad, it's fine. You don't need to keep apologizing." Octavia said, knowing exactly what Stolas was talking about.

The rocky relationship with Stella, the divorce, and the years of having to go between the homes of Stella and Stolas.

"You've been through a lot and in many ways it's my fault." Stolas said.

"Well, it wasn't your fault for being in an arrange marriage and trying to make it work with a squawking bitch." Octavia said.

"That's still your mother, despite it being true. I always thought that if maybe I tried harder, maybe things would've been better and you could've had a better home life." Stolas said, glancing out the window for a moment.

"I can have a better home life... I just need you to be happy for it." Octavia said.

Stolas smiled a tiny bit, grateful his daughter grew up to be a good person despite their familial disfunction.

"I promise. I will." He said as they arrived the Hellevator

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the Hive after that, seeing Loona outside waiting for Octavia.

"Octavia, glad you could make it." Loona said, helping Octavia out of the limo, "Trust me, you're going to love this."

"You think so?" Octavia asked.

"I know so. Just don't use the word "bitch" with anyone. It's actually offensive to female hellhounds." Loona said.

"Ah, okay, I prefer twat more anyway." Octavia said.

Loona chuckled at that, before seeing Stolas in the limo.

"Hello, Stolas." Loona said.

Stolas couldn't tell if she was happy to see him or angry, she had gotten really good at keeping her emotions in check, so much that you couldn't tell what her mood was in certain situations.

"Hello, Loona. It's been some time since we last saw each other." Stolas said with a small wave.

"Yeah, it has." Loona said, not waving back.

... Well this is awkward. Not doing anything other than staring at each other.

"WELL...Don't mind me, I just wanted to make sure that Octavia got here safely, you two have fun, I'll be waiting out here." Stolas said, grabbing the door.

"No, you aren't." Loona said, glaring at him.

This made Stolas jolt a bit, he figured she didn't want to see him.

"Oh, uh, well, I suppose I could leave if you-"

"You're getting your ass inside, and you're going to party." Loona said, pointing to the large building behind her, "Octavia has told me about your moping around. I'm not letting you leave until you have an honest smile on your face."

"…" Stolas could only look at Loona in surprise.

Out of all the things he expected Loona to say to him, inviting him into the party was not one of them.

"Um, are you sure that's wise?" He asked.

"Bee's motto is that everyone is welcome at her parties, no matter what ring or status." Loona said, shaking her head.

"That sounds rather nice." Stolas said with a smile.

"It is. Now come on, you need it." Loona said, easing Stolas inside, and giving a subtle wink to Octavia.

'I hope this works." Octavia thought.

Their plan was to get Stolas out of the house for a bit, in hopes that his mood might improve.

And despite it ending quickly, the hook up from the Halloween party Verosika held uplifted him. Maybe a more positive party could cause a much longer effect.

Especially when it's full of people that don't care who you are.

'Maybe dad will get lucky and hook up with a new guy here or maybe a girl if they're charming enough.' Octavia thought.

'Hopefully Stolas isn't as bad a drunk as dad is.' Loona thought.

She tries to forget that night, it did NOT seem good.

"So, what can I expect at this kind of party?" Stolas asked.

"Nothing but good vibes, fun, and camaraderie." Loona said.

"So the exact opposite of a Goetia party, got it." Octavia said with a nod.

"Now let me welcome you, to what we call… The Hive." Loona said, opening the doors.

Blaring party music met their ears as Stolas and Octavia saw hordes of hellborn demons around the inside.

Imps, hellhounds, sharks, goats succubus, incubus; nearly every type of demon from every ring except sinners were here.

"Woah." Octavia said, surprised by how big the party was.

"Oh my." Stolas said, also surprise.

"Loo!"

Loona turned and saw Bee float down next to her.

"Bee!" Loona said happily, hugging her fiancé.

"So, this must be the girl you've talked so much about." Bee said, looking at Octavia.

"Yeah, this is her. The mysterious and aloof Octavia Goetia." Loona said before gesturing to Stolas. "And her dad, who tagged along and tried to stay in the car all night."

"Stolas, huh? I've heard of you." Bee said with a friendly smile.

"You have?" Stolas asked.

"Yeah, Ozzie has spoken about you in past meetings." Bee said.

"Oh, I see." Stolas said, "Oh, where are my manners, it's a pleasure to be here, your sinfulness."

He gave a bow to the far more powerful sin.

"Hehehehe, is he for real?" Bee asked.

"Yeah, sorry about my dad. He's a bit too formal." Octavia said as she helped Stolas stand up straight.

"Nah, it's cool. Just haven't been bowed to like that in a while." Bee said before patting Stolas in the back. "Chill, dude. That formal stuff doesn't need to be here."

'Chill, dude?' Stolas thought, havung never been told this phrase before.

"Hey, Loona, why don't you go find Tex and let him know your friend is here?" Bee suggested.

Loona nodded as she escorted Octavia through the party, greeting friends and introducing Octavia to some of them.

Stolas and Bee were left alone, with the prince still a bit out of place in such a party.

"So…how do these more casual gathering work?" He asked, a little awkward.

"For starters, loosen up man. You've got nothing to worry about here." Bee said, using her power to make a drink to Stolas. "Here, this should help. I can tell you need some times to just enjoy yourself, you're very stressed… and I already know why."

"Let me guess, Blitz?" Stolas asked with a sigh, sipping his drink.

"Yeah, Loo told me everything. Sorry about that, man." Bee said.

"It was partially my fault." Stolas said, sighing again. "I treated him more like a play thing than a demo-no. Than a person."

"Really? Cuz Loona said it was both your faults for not truly talking about it." Bee said, guiding Stolas into the Hive.

"But I WANTED to talk about it…but Blitz assumed it would just be about sex again….I should've spoken up earlier." Stolas said, drinking even more.

"Relationships are complicated. It took Tex, Loo, and I a bit before we figured things out." Bee said, giving a soft smile.

"I know and I'm happy for you three but…I feel like Blitz and I could've worked it out if we talked." Stolas said as Bee brought him to a couch. "I never told anyone this, but Blitz was the very first real friend I ever had when I was a child."

"And you had a think for him ever since." Bee assumed, scratching her neck. "Well, I'm not that well versed in the art of love, but... I do think you two will work things out. From what Loona said, you two honestly belong together."

That made Stolas smile a bit, making him relax a bit as he sat down on the couch.

"Maybe but…I still don't think it could work if we don't talk about it." Stolas said.

"And I'm sure you two will, but right now, it's time to cool down and have some fun." Bee said.

To show her point, Bee snapped her fingers and created a giant buffet table full of food for everyone.

"WHOOOOO!" Everyone cheered before rushing to dig in.

"Tonight is gonna be a good night." Bee said with a smile.

"I suppose it will." Stolas said with a small grin.

Chapter Text

With the Imp boys, the two were walking towards a certain building.

"Not expecting to run a errand during the Bachelor party." Blitz said.

"I just have to drop off something for Emily." Fizz said.

"Did it have to be this big?" Blitz asked, carrying a rather large object.

"She's got a bigger taste for things than Charlie. Figuratively and literally." Fizz said, grinning.

"I doubt that." Blitz said, groaning a bit.

Fizzarolli just laughed as he remembered the first time he was invited to family dinner with Ozzie.

He never thought he'd see someone beat Bee in a food eating contest... he still wonders where the fork went.

'She couldn't have eaten it, right? That's just insane.' Fizz thought.

"Alright, we're here Fizz." Blitz said as they came to a stop.

Fizz walked up to the door and was about to knock... when a certain fallen angel princess opened it and hugged him.

"Uncle Fizz! You made it!" Emily said with a smile.

"Yeah, well, I figured I'd drop of something for you while I was in the city." Fizz said, hugging her back.

"And I'm here to help, just so you know." Blitz said, still holding the large item.

"Oh, you must be the infamous, Blitz I've heard so much about." Emily said, breaking the hug. "Nice to meet you!"

"Infamous in a good way or a bad way?" Blitz asked.

"A little of both but I prefer the good way. Let me help you with that." Emily said, going to help Blitz put down the large item.

"Thank fucking christ, thought my arms were going to fall off if I held that any longer." Blitz said, stretching his back.

"Hey, my arms are the ones fall off. That why I had you carry it." Fizz said with a cheeky grin.

"Oh very funny, Fizz. What is this thing anyway?" Blitz asked, gesturing to the package.

"Open it up and see." Fizz said to Emily.

Emily went over and opened it, revealing a LOT of muffins and other sweets that are only available in Lust.

"Eeeeeeeeeeh!" Emily squealed loudly, making Blitz and Fizz cover their ears.

"Motherfucker! She's so loud over cakes?!" Blitz shouted in pain.

"You get used to it." Fizz said.

"Uncle Fizz, thank you! I have been craving pasties from Lust for weeks but I was too busy with work to get them!" Emily said, smiling widely. "Oh I can't wait to dig into these."

"Try to save some for everyone else." Fizz said as Emily picked up the pastry display all by herself.

"I will, I promise!" Emily said as she brought them inside. "Come on in!"

They went inside the hotel.

'So this is the Hazbin Hotel I've heard so much about.' Blitz thought, looking around the interior.

He didn't see anything that really popped out to be honest. It all just looked fancy and well maintained but the lack of employees was noticeable since only one guy was at the front desk and a single maid was cleaning the den.

Emily placed the sweets on the bar.

"Got some good stuff, Husk." Emily said, "Straight from Lust."

"Yeah... I think I'll pass, who knows how many are cum filled." Husk said.

"Cum filled?" Niffty asked, raising her head.

"Oh don't worry, all of these aren't cream filled and if they are, it's normal cream." Fizz said, leaning on the bar. "I know Emily is asexual, so getting her erotic pastries would just make her mad."

"Thank you, Uncle Fizz." Emily said as she grabbed a muffin and ate it.

"And I've seen the videos online, I don't want her coming after me." Fizz added.

"What videos?" Blitz asked.

"UGH! Why is that video still up?! And it's not that bad, I just ate one things by accident in my sleep!" Emily said, holding her finger up.

"Emily, you were sleep walking and ate HALF A CAR!" Fizz said.

"… your point?" Emily asked, tilting her head.

"You are half s fucking car in your sleep?!" Blitz shouted in shock. "How is that even possible?!"

"She's a glutton. Literally." Fizz said as Emily pouts.

"I am not." Emily said, before grabbing a bottle of Vodka, "I just... never actually needed to eat in heaven, and want to know what I've been missing."

"Never needed to eat? Like anything?" Blitz asked.

"Nope. And get this, when she first arrived, she ate out an entire buffet restaurant." Husk said with a grin. "Even ate a chair."

"It was very tasty!" Emily argued.

"It was Mahogany, kid." Husk said.

"You know, I have a lot of paperwork to deal with, so I'm just going to head to my office." Emily said, drinking from the vodka bottle before looking ag Husk, "Oh you son of a bitch."

"What?" Husk asked, smirking slightly.

"You filled this with water." Emily said, holding up the "vodka" bottle.

"It's healthier for you." Husk said.

"Do you even hear yourself! I know forca fact you drink 5 bottles of rum a day!" Emily said, throwing and smashing the bottle against the floor.

"I've got it!" Niffty shouted, rushing over to clean up the broken bottle.

"See and that's why I don't want to see you drink so much." Husk said, pointing at Emily with his tail. "You're a bit of a hot head."

"She must just be cranky, being hungry all the time could do that." Blitz suggested.

Instead of replying to them, Emily just walked away while giving double fingers.

'Wow, she used to be an angel? Heaven has some pretty low standards.' Blitz thought.

"Well, we should probably go before she gets hungry." Fizz said, "Come on, Blitz, like you said, the night is young."

"Su-Wait, what do you mean "before she gets hungry?" She eats people too?!" Blitz said in shock.

"No…maybe." Fizz said, walking to the exit. "I don't know."

"You don't know?! Fizz! FIZZ!" Blitz said, running after him.

The two imps walked away from the hotel.

"Are you going to answer me or are you just going to let me have nightmares?" Blitz asked.

"I'll tell you after we get to our next stop and relax. Emily doesn't just go around eating people." Fizz said.

"Oh thank Satan on a stick." Blitz said in relief.

"At least... not actual flesh." Fizz said, stroking bis chin. "She goes for organs."

Blitz looked at him like he just grew a second head.

"FUCKING ORGANS?!" Blitz shouted in shock.

Fizz could only laugh at Blitz's reaction as they called for a taxi.

"So, while we wait, how about you tell me your plan to add to the royal infant army." Blitz said.

"I mean, that wouldn't be for a while." Fizz said.

"But you're still planning right?" Blitz asked with a grin, nudging Fizz. "I can just imagine a tiny you juggling in the crib."

"Don't be ridiculous, man. That's too young to be juggling." Fizz said with a chuckle.

"You gotta start 'em young. You know, like walking... or smoking." Blitz said.

"-_- Don't even joke about that. No daughter or son of mine is going to be a filthy smoker….at least until their 18th birthday." Fizz said, crossing his arms. "This may be hell but there has to be standards."

"I have yet to see those" Blitz said.

"No, you don't have those. Or at least not many." Fizz joked.

"Well, you're not wrong. I'll give you that." Blitz said, crossing his arms before he got a call on his phone. "Who the fuck is calling me? I specifically said tonight was a call free night!"

Pulling his phone out and without looking at the number, he answered the call.

"What?" Blitz asked, clearly annoyed.

There was a solid ten seconds of no answer when he decided to end the call.

"Fucking spam calls." He muttered, putting his phone away, "Sorry about that Fizz."

"It's fine, can't really do much about them anyway." Fizz said, shrugging.

(Line break)

In Gluttony, Stolas looked at his phone after Blitz hung up. He released a breath he didn't realize he was holding.

'Why didn't I say anything?' Stolas thought, feeling ashamed of himself.

He sighed and put his phone away. Maybe he would get the courage to speak next time.

Chapter Text

The next day was more of a mess than the previous day. Why?

Because it was the day of the wedding and both grooms were in a nervous wreck.

"Fizz, calm down! Your makeup is fine." Blitz said, helping his friend.

"But what if-"

"Fizz, that guy has fucked you in the ass for years, I don't think he'll care what you look like." Blitz said.

"I know but I want everything to be perfect for him! It's not everyday or every century that one of the Seven Deadly Sins gets married!" Fizzarolli said.

'Okay, that's true but still.' Blitz thought.

"Didn't he tell you that nobody is perfect?" Blitz asked, "Which means I don't think he'll care if everything is perfect? As long as he has you, I think he'll be happy."

"I know but-"

"No butts except yours sitting down and drinking some water to calm down." Blitz said, taking the make up brush and giving Fizz a water bottle from a gift basket he got. "Here. Wet your whistle."

Smiling from his friend, Fizz took the water and drank it to calm down.

'He's right. I'm overworrying. I'm sure Ozzie isn't even close to as nervous as I am.' Fizz thought.

... Oh wrong he was.

(LIne Break)

Asmodeus was constantly fixing and undoing his tie, just to do it again.

"Ugh, this isn't working!" He said, very upset.

"Hey, uncle Ozzie, how about you just... calm down?" Charlie asked, walking over, "I get you're nervous, I was the same way when Vaggie and I got married, but you need to keep your heads on straight."

"It's hard, Char, this isn't just a wedding... it's more." Asmodeus said, "I am literally binding myself to him for the rest of eternity. I just... what if something goes wrong and we have to deal with a bad memory to start our marriage?"

"Don't worry, I've had security doubled just in case. Nothing will ruin this wedding and make it a bad memory." Charlie said with a smile.

"I'm just so nervous." Asmodeus said, tapping bis hoof nervousl. "I... what if-"

"No! No what ifs." Charlie said, wagging her finger. "As Queen of Hell, I am ordering you to not panic."

"... I don't think that's how that works." Asmodeus said, his hoof no longer tapping.

"Well, luckily for you, I do know what will." Charlie said, walking over to a stroller, "Holding your little grand niece."

Charlie held up little Lucy, now eight months old, wide eyed and happy to meet everyone.

"Awwwww!" Asmodeus said, taking the baby in his arms, "Who's the most precious and adorable demon in all of hell! Is it you? Yes it is."

He used a finger and tickled Lucy's stomach, making the baby giggle.

"Aw, you're so cute." Asmodeus said, "You're like a little lamb... in fact, I'm going to call you that. Little Lamb. That way everyone will know how adorable and innocent you are."

"Eeeeh. Hehehehehe." Lucy giggled, liking the nickname even if she couldn't understand it.

And Asmodeus couldn't understand how one newborn and her giggling could make all of his worries melt away in seconds.

"I think she likes it." Charlie said.

"I'm glad because I wouldn't stop calling her that even if you said not too." Asmodeus said with a chuckle.

Lucy then noticed Charlie and reached for her.

"Oh. Looks like someone wants mama." Charlie said, reaching out for her daughter.

"I almost don't want to let her go but I have to or else you might kill me." Asmodeus joked as he handed Lucy back to Charlie.

"Don't worry; I'd just hit you. As for Lucy, I guess it is her feeding time." Charlie said, glancing away. "If you don't mind, I'm going to go to the bathroom so I can feed her without this being awkward."

"Don't worry, I get it." Asmodeus said, waving his hand. "Even being natural, I get that breast feeding a baby in front of family may be a little weird."

"Thank you. Somebody understands. Vaggie sometimes wants to watch." Charlie said.

"I'm not surprised by that either." Asmodeus said with a small grin.

"I know, she loves my boobs, but still." Charlie said as she left for some privacy.

Asmodeus went back to looking in the mirror.

His suit was clean, his tie was straight, and his large amount of hair was perfectly done for today.

'Okay, it's fine, you've been together for years already... today is just the day you seal that love forever.' Asmodeus thought, 'You can do this.'

To help him calm down and assure himself this was real, Asmodeus pinched his wrist to painfully force the fear away.

"Okay! You've got this, it's time to marry the demon you love." He said as his two tattoos nodded.

A few hours later; the guests had arrived, the doors were closed, and the organ music was being played.

And Charlie, having gotten her marriage license, was ready to get her uncles married.

"Are you still nervous, uncle Ozzie?" Charlie whispered to him.

"Yes but I can handle it. This is a happy day." Ozzie whispered, anxiously tapping his hoof/foot on the alter.

"Don't worry, anyone wants to mess with this, then I'll have Vaggie stab them." Charlie whispered.

"Hehehehe, thanks." Asmodeus said, finding it oddly calming.

"Just remember, when you have a kid, my name works for both genders." Charlie said.

"Hm, I'll think about it, we're a while from that though." Asmodeus said with a smug grin.

"I got time." Charlie said, also smug.

They both laughed as the doors opened, revealing Fizzarolli with Mammon guiding him down the aisle like a father would.

For some reason... this was Fizz's idea. No one really understands why.

'Thank god dad isn't here.' Blitz thought, watching Fizz give Mammon a happy smile.

(Buckso is an asshole just like Crimson.)

"Oh I'm so happy for ya, mate." Mammon said.

"You're only saying that because I'm paying you to do this." Fizz whispered.

"Also true but I'm genuinely happy for you and Ozzie, Fizz. You both deserves each other." Mammon whispered, being honest.

'Especially with all the shit I gave you both in the past.' Mammon thought.

"Huh... maybe you do have a heart." Fizz whispered.

"A heart of gold." Mammon joked.

He and Fizz chuckled from this as they reached the alter, the sins nodding to each other before Mammon moved to his seat.

"Well, guess it's time to get started then." Charlie said, opening an official demon marriage book.

Everyone took their seats as Charlie assumed her full demon form, clearing her throat to begin the ceremony.

"I would like to welcome you all here today, to witness the marriage of Asmodeus and Fizzarolli." Charlie said.

Both grooms gazed at each other lovingly as the crowd watched with smiles of their own.

"Before we have them recite their vows, if you have an object to this union, please speak now so I can throw your ass in the dungeon until the end of time." Charlie said with a sweet smile.

'She's definitely her father's daughter.' Asmodeus thought.

'Of course she would do that.' Fizzarolli thought with a small chuckle.

Nobody said anything, mainly cause Vaggie and the security guards had their hands on their weapons if anybody did try to speak against the wedding.

"Good. Then let's move on." Charlie said as she turned to Asmodeus, nodding for him to be the first to give his vows.

'Okay... you can do this.' Asmodeus thought.

Asmodeus took a deep breath and gazed at Fizzarolli.

"Fizzy, when I first met you, I believed love was just a pitiful excuse for lust. Just a spark to ignite a flame or a false emotion that people say is real. I can safely and genuinely say that old me was a fucking dumbass." Asmodeus said.

This got some laughs from the guests.

"You are the best thing to ever happen to me, and I would love nothing more than to wake up every morning and see the demon I call a husband." Asmodeus said.

"Awwwwwe." Everyone let out.

"Now that's some vows." Blitz whispered with a nod.

"Yeah, and it wasn't lustful." Loona whispered back.

'Why did I have to go next, I just want to kiss him right now!' Fizz thought.

"Beautiful, truly beautiful." Charlie said with a nod before looking at the imp demon. "Fizzarolli, please give your vows."

"Well, it's going to be hard to top that." Fizz said.

"Topping isn't necessary in this sense. Just speak from the heart." Charlie said with a soft smile.

"Well, Ozzie, you have done more for me than you'll ever know." Fizz said, looking at his metal arms. "You not only gave me the ability to move again, but you gave me the ability to love again."

"It was always there, Fizz. I just helped you find it again." Asmodeus said.

"Regardless, the love you gave me is like an endless anniversary. It makes me feel I could fly to heaven and flip them off before flying back." Fizzarolli said.

"Sounds like something my dad would do." Charlie mumbled under her breath.

"Ozzie, my life with you has only become more like heaven and I just know that nothing could ruin it for us." Fizzarolli said.

Charlie smiled and started looking through the book.

"Okay, now we... and they're already kissing." Charlie said, looking back up to see them already kissing. "Okay, whatever, as queen of hell, I pronounce you two married!"

Everyone stood up and clapped/cheered for the two.

'Well, that was easy.' Charlie thought, closing the book.

"Alright, people, let's bring this cheer to the dining hall. We've got plenty of drinks and food for everyone." Vaggie said before pointing at Mammon. "Even you."

Everyone laughed at the "big boned" sin of Green as he rolled his eyes whole Charlie walked oved and pats his back.

"It's Bee and your sister you should be saying that too, those two combined can eat three whole rings clean." Mammon whispered the Charlie.

"Uncle Mam! That is rude, it's true but rude." Charlie whispered to him.

"The truth hurts sometimes, Char. That's just how it is." Mammon said as he patted her back and walked to the dining hall.

With the newly maried couple, Asmodeus carried Fizz the entire way.

"Time to throw the bouquet!" Fizz shouted happily as he threw his flowers into the crowd.

"CATCH IT!" Someone shouted as the ladies frenzied for it.

Surprisingly, it landed in Emily's hand. She wasn't even trying to catch it. She looked at the flowers for about a second before feeling disgusted and tossing them at the group.

"Ugh! Marriage for me? No thank you!" Emily said as she covered her hands in fire and acted like she was washing them in a sink.

Charlie walked over to vaggie and smiled at Lucy in her arms.

"Your auntie isn't a fan of romance, is she?" Charlie asked, playing with Lucy's bird feet, "So cute."

"Ehehehehehe." Lucy giggled, reaching for her own unique feet.

"You think Lucy will find love someday?" Vaggie asked.

"I'm sure of it. After all, I do want to be a grandma someday. But for now let's just enjoy our little adorable baby." Charlie said.

"Agreed." Vaggie said as they headed to the dining hall.

Chapter Text

A few days after the wedding, Blitz was in the living world, trying to line up a sniper shot. But his mind was elsewhere.

'After this, I am going to finally call him and stop being a chicken shit!' He thought, reminding himself again that he needed to talk to Stolas about their relationship.

Soon, he had the target in his sights.

"Perfect. Just one shot and it's all over." He whispered, slowly pushing the trigger.

But for some reason, Blitz was struggling to completely push it down.

His finger seemed to freeze, almost like a miniature stroke had prevented him from even moving.

'What are you doing? Pull the trigger! End it!' He mentally screamed at himself and forcibly pulled the trigger.

BANG!

The bullet went flying as the target turned to it, somehow changing into Stolas before Blitz's scope gaze?!

"What?! No!" He screamed in horror as he watched his own shot tear through the head…

...

...

...

...and that's when Blitz woke up.

-End of Dream-

"GAH!" He let out, breathing heavily as he looked around his bed room.

The one that he gave to Loona after adopting her before she moved out to live with Vortex and Bee.

He brought his knees to his chest and just held them close. He really had no one to turn too right now. Fizz and Asmodeus are away on a honeymoon, Moxxie and Millie are busy getting ready for their son or daughter to arrive, and as stated earlier, Loona had moved out. Blitz reached over and grabbed his phone, before scrolling to the S contacts. His thumb hovered over Stolas' name… but he couldn't press the call button. He closed his eyes and scrolled down further before clicking on call. He put the phone to his ear and waited.

"Blitz." Someone said.

"Hey, Verosika… I… I hope you're doing okay." He said with a pause.

"Doing okay, Blitz, but what about you?" Verosika asked him.

He got quiet after that question, not even his breathing could be heard over the phone.

"... I... I don't really know." He admitted.

"What? What do you mean you don't know?" Verosika asked, confused and a bit concerned.

"I mean…I don't know. I don't know if I'm good or bad or shitty or whatever. I think I feel…empty inside and that scares me." Blitz said with a frown.

Verosika sighed.

"Listen, I felt the same way after you left me." Verosika said, "Make no mistake, we are not friends, we are still far from it... but I do know what it's like and I can help."

"Please don't say therapy." Blitz said with a tiny groan.

"No... that doesn't really exist in Hell." Verosika said, "I'll be over when I get back to Hell."

"Back in- Oh! I remember. You're on tour in the human world again." Blitz said.

"Yep! Still a famous pop star to humans." Verosika said with pride.

"Well, enjoy your tour." Blitz said.

"I will and like I said, I'm not your friend but try to get some more sleep. Trust me when I say that staying awake too long after a nightmare is not a good thing." Verosika said.

"Wait, how did you-" Blitz said in surprise.

"We're not so different, Blitz, remember that." Verosika said, before hanging up.

"Not so different, huh? Heh, didn't know you are a comedian too, V." Blitz muttered, putting his phone back.

He laid back down and looked at the ceiling.

He really did try to go to sleep but he just wanted to take some time to calm his heart down first. He could feel it pounding like a drum, so eratically and violently from his nightmare.

Him, killing Stolas? No, that wasn't right. Even though they "broke up," Blitz would never want to kill him.

He let out a sigh and and got out of bed, he wasn't getting back to sleep tonight.

"Might as well get something to eat and watch some trash TV." Blitz muttered.

He went to the kitchen and opened the fridge.

"Okay, let's see what I've got." Blitz said, looking over what he has. "Lunch meat, week old takeout, some diet beer, random fruit, cereal, wrapped up leftover wedding cake…"

He decided on having the diet beer and take out, walking to the couch and sat down in darkness for a moment before turning on the TV.

'Let's see what early morning trash tv is on.' He thought as he opened the diet beer.

Basic infomercials and other scams commonly seen on TV in hell, at least in this part of the city. He let out a sigh and kept flipping through the channels.

"Boring, boring, boring, boring." He said, "Ugh, nothing even remotely decent on."

After nearly 20 minutes he turned the TV off. He let out another sigh and rubbed his hands over his face.

"Might as well head to the office and do paperwork or something." He said, closing empty takeout and setting his empty beer done.

He got up, threw his trash away, went to shower, get dressed, and drove in the middle of the early morning to IMP.

One good thing about Imp City, it wasn't really full of Sinners, they were located in Pentagram city or one of the other smaller cities in the Ring. This meant that traffic wasn't much of a problem, despite Hell's population problem. He easily got it there in just under 45 minutes.

Arriving in his usual spot, Blitz got out of the van and walked into the building.

It was quiet, kinda peaceful, but that's not good for Blitz, as it resulted in him being able to think more about his nightmare, his failed relationships, just everything.

His fear of Stolas dying or being killed because of him…just like how his mother was killed in the circus fire years ago.

His hands were literally started shaking at the thought of it right now!

'It was an accident. A stupid, STUPID accident. You didn't mean it, you couldn't have meant it!' He thought to himself, still feeling such heartache and pain from that day years later.

Fizzarolli understands it was an accident now but the rest of his family didn't see it that way.

Not his sister, Barbie Wire, or his FATHER, Cash Buckzo.

He wishes he knew where Barbie was, maybe if they had a real talk they could patch things up. Was he being optimistic? Sure, but when you had so much bad shit happen to you in life, what else can you have but optimism? Without it, Blitz would've probably shot himself in the head years ago. He opened his office door and went to his desk.

"Might as well try and get this shit done." He said, sitting in his chair and grabbing a pen.

He got to work on the large stack of paperwork that he's pushed off. Things that needed to be signed, things that needed his approval, future client details, all that kind of stuff.

'Man, I really need to thank Oz for those spelling classes, I can't believe how bad I used to write., Blitz thought, remembering his pendmanship and spelling was like that of a fucking 6 year old. 'Fucking embrassing for an adult imp.'

As Blitz was working... someone with a knife was quietly approaching IMP. They slowly opened the door and made their way over to Blitz's office. They kicked the door open and... Blitz wasn't at his desk. The would be assassin tilted their head as they slowly walked in before suddenly having a wire garrote wrapped around their neck!

"Nice try, but you have to wake up earlier than that to catch me off guard." Blitz said, appearing from behind the door!

The assassin began to get choked by Blitz, before reaching up and hitting Blitz in the eye, making him let go. The assassin then charged at him with the knife. Blitz dodged the attack and grabbed the assassins wrist, before kneeing his elbow, making him drop the knife. Blitz then kicked it away and chopped the throat of the assassin, making him gasp for air. Blitz used this as a chance to tackle him, sending both of them crashing into the desk.

Both of them quickly stood up, pulling out guns and aiming at each other!

BANG!

Both fired and dodged the bullets, with the assassin pulling out another gun as Blitz jumped out of his office and shut the door behind him!

'Gotta get to the armory and outgun this bitch!' He thought, getting up.

The assassin kicked the door open and tackled Blitz. The two began to wrestle for control.

Blitz could match the assassin in strength but with the guns in both their hands, he had to use his tail to try and get them away from the assassin as they rolled into the lobby!

They rolled into the wall, knocking pictures off the wall. Blitz headbutted the assassin, making him dazed for a second, which gave Blitz enough time to get up and tackle the assassin into the wall on the other side of the room. Blitz held him by the neck and began to punch him in the head. He dropped the guns, but that gave him the opportunity to grab Blitz by the neck and choke him. Blitz tried to break free from his grip, but the assassin was making that hard to do.

The assassin began to push Blitz towards the front desk, which only helped Blitz, as that let him grab a vase and slam it against the assassins head. The assassin let go as shards of ceramic get stuck in his head. Blitz then grabbed the assassin and started slamming his head against the desk, making blood stain the desk. The assassin then punched Blitz in the stomach, making him cough up blood. Blitz let go after that, which allowed the assassin to grab the knife and stab Blitz in the stomach. Blitz felt the pain and fell to his knees... but then he smiled and looked at the assassin.

"You missed... every... organ." Blitz said, pulling the knife out and holding it in his hand, "Round two, cock muncher."

The two ran at each other and Blitz swung the knife, only for the assassin to dodge and punch Blitz. Blitz stumbled and held his jaw.

"Okay... now I'm pissed." Blitz said.

He threw the knife, hitting the assassin right in the shoulder. Blitz then tackled him into the fish tank, sending glass and water everywhere. The assassin grabbed a shard of glass, straddled Blitz, and tried to stab Blitz. But Blitz held the hands of the assassin, slowly moving the hands away, before flipping over so Blitz was on top and began to push the shard towards him. This repeated several times before the assassin grabbed Blitz by a horn and slammed him against the wall. Blitz dropped the shard and the assassin moved behind Blitz and put him in a choke hold. Blitz put his feet against the wall and pushed back, knocking the assassin and himself into the meeting room door. The two went into the meeting room and the assassin hit the table. Blitz reached and pulled the knife out of the assassins shoulder and stabbed him in the eye. The assassin let go of Blitz, which gave Blitz the chance to grab him by the back of the head and slam him onto to the table, pushing the knife deeper until he went limp. Blitz fell to his knees and let out a breath.

"... Damn... I need to call in the others about this." Blitz said, pulling the knife out of the assassins corpse.

When Loona, Millie, and Moxxie arrived, they were in shock at the state of the office. Two broken doors, water and glass all over the floor, blood staining most of the room. It was clear a fight happened here.

"SATAN'S BALLS! Look at this place! It's even worse than I thought!" Millie said, slapping her head.

"It looks like a mini tornado tore through here." Moxxie added.

"Where's dad?!" Loona asked, looking around for Blitz.

"I'm here." Blitz said, walking out of the meeting room with the assassin's corpse under his arm., "Trying to think of how I'll tell Fizz about the vase he got me. It was a thoughtful gift."

"Blitz, forget about the vase! You're bleeding!" Millie said, gesturing to the blood on Blitz's clothes.

"Relaxed. I managed to stop all the bleeding and patched myself up. Gonna need a new first aid kit, though." Blitz said, holding the area where he was stabbed.

"Any ideas on why this happened?" Moxxie asked.

"No, I originally thought about asking the prick that attacked me, but it occured to me during our fight... he was silent, even through the most painful attacks..." Blitz said, walking over and dropping the body, "I had a feeling something wasn't right."

He opened the corpse's mouth, revealing that their tongue had been cut out.

"Whoever sent them here... did not want them to talk in the event that they failed." Blitz said grimly.

"So whoever did something like this must've been paying them a lot of money to do this job." Moxxie said with a frown. "A literal double edged sword."

"Yeah, but first, we have to get this place cleaned up, we have no leads to this, and clients to kill for." Blitz said, holding his head, "...plus I might have a concussion."

"I'll get you an ice pack." Moxxie said, walking to the kitchen.

"I'll check the janitor's closet down the hall for cleaning stuff." Millie said, walking down the hall.

"And I'll berate you for getting into a fight." Loona said.

"I wouldn't have it any other way, Loony." Blitz said with a smile.

Even if their relationship was better, Blitz always thought Loona's insults and berates were a form of tough love.

"Seriously, though, who would want you dead? A disgruntled client?" Loona asked.

"I don't think so, we have a 98% success rate... and we killed the two percent when they wanted a refund." Blitz said, shrugging. "Try not to think about it right now, a lot just happened."

"But what if it happens again?" Loona asked as she guided Blitz to sit on the lobby couch.

"I'll be fine, I can handle another failed assassin." Blitz said as Moxxie came back with an ice pack.

"Regardless, we should still be careful. If whoever hired this assassin could target you, they could target all of us." Moxxie said.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to Fizz and Oz when they get back from their honeymoon." Blitz said, taking the ice pack. "I'm sure they'll have a way to find whoever did this."

"I'll ask Bee to help too." Loona said as she took the ice pack and put it on Blitz's head.

"You should take it easy, it might help you recover faster." Millie said.

"And don't fall asleep with that concussion, just sit there and watch whatever videos you have in your phone while we clean up." Moxxie said.

"Yeah, yeah. Okay, dad." Blitz said sarcastically but he gave a small smile as he relaxed and let his crew clean up the office, grateful that they still care about him.

Resting om the couch, he tried clearing his mind and surprisingly nearly being killed had gotten him to forget about his nightmare.

Amazing what the assassination business can do for a guy.

But now the big question weighed on his mind... who sent this person? He didn't want to think about it, but he couldn't help but think about it.

(Line Break)

A phone was slammed down in anger.

"That fucking worthless bastard failed!" Stella said.

'And after all the money and time I wasted on finding them because Striker was unavailable!' She thought.

Stella growled. Not only did she have significantly less funds, but she had no ways to kill that damned imp without revealing herself.

"If I had my own allies, maybe I could get my revenge." Stella said, thinking about it.

Stella could always count on her brother and possibly Striker, for the right price, so that's two under her belt. But who else could she recruit?

Using a computer in the mansion library, Stella began to look for anyone that knew of the annoyance known as Blitz. That's when she came across an old news article about a circus burning down.

"Hmmm, what do we have here?" Stella said as she clicked on the article and saw a picture of the family that owned the circus.

One of which looked like-

"That little homewrecker! This is his family circus?" Stella said in surprise as she quickly reads the article!

She got an idea. Surely the former owner of the circus, Cash Buckzo, hates his son after ruining his business.

And Stella was sure he would be MORE than happy to get revenge on his son for the "right price."

Stella smiled as this could work out better than she thought it would.

'As the old saying goes, three heads are better than two.' Stella thought before going to find a servant.

And soon, she'll be able to end that annoying prick.

Chapter Text

A few days later, Fizz walked into IMP, after receiving a phone call from Blitz. He didn't know what the issue was, but Blitz sounded serious.

"Hello? Blitz? Loona?" Fizzarolli asked as he walked into the office.

He heard movement from Blitz's office, then a thud, then Blitz swearing, before the door opened.

"Fizz, glad you came!" Blitz said, cleaning his shirt off. "First, I would like to say, sorry the vase you got me got broken. Secondly, someone sent an assassin after me."

"The vase bro- What do you mean an assassin was sent after you?!" Fizz asked in shock.

"I mean some guy in dark clothes came in, tried to kill me, we fought, and I ended up smashing the vase against him when he tried to choke me to death." Blitz said simply.

Fizz grabbed Blitz by his jacket and shook him.

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE VASE!" Fizz said, "ARE YOU OKAY!?"

"I'm fine, guy was a rookie." Blitz said.

"He managed to stab dad and give him a concussion." Loona said from her desk.

"Again, a rookie." Blitz said as Fizz let go of his jacket.

"Rookie or not, more might come for you, Blitz. I don't see how I can help if this is why you called me, you know I'm not a fighter." Fizz said.

"You're not, but, you and Oz have connections. We need help trying to find anything that can track back to the buyer." Blitz said.

"Like what? If he was a past customer or purchased as Asmodian crystal?" Fizz asked.

"Something like that, yeah. I can guess Oz's sex toy operation keeps files on their customers. Even if they're one time customers, right?" Blitz asked.

Yeah, we like to keep things organized." Fizz said, nodding.

"I figured and if you want to see his face, we still have the body in the back." Blitz said.

"…You were going to chop it up and dump it somewhere, weren't you?" Fizz asked blankly.

"Yeah. That's about it." Blitz said with a grin.

"Of course." Fizz said as he rolled his eyes.

The two brother imps walked to the back room of IMP, full of various wooden tools, hazmat suits, and cleaning supplies they needed to chop up bodies and dispose of them in a ditch somewhere.

"…It scares me how often dedicated you are to this line of work." Fizz said to him.

"Hey, I just like to be thorough and ready." Blitz said as he pointed to the assassin's corpse on a table. "Such as for guys like that."

"Yeah." Fizz said, looking over the body. "Uh, I'm going to call Ozzie, because I have no idea how to get that to the Lust ring without raising suspicion."

"I can help." Blitz said.

"NOT the assassin way." Fizz said blankly, pulling out his phone.

A quick speed dial and pause before he spoke into the phone.

"Hey, Babe, think you can come over here?" Fizz asked, "There's been a... issue that could use your help."

"What kind of issue, honey cake?" Ozzie asked from the other end.

"Well, and I need you to believe me on this, a POTENTIAL past customer has tried to kill Blitz and ended up being killed himself." Fizz said

"... I... see." Asmodeus said slowly.

"Yeah, I know it's a lot to take in, sweetie." Fizz said, scratching his head.

"I'll be there soon." Asmodeus quickly sald.

"What? You're coming here?" Fizz asked in surprise.

"It's easy then trying to get that body to Lust, isn't it?" Asmodeus asked.

"Yeah. I guess." Fizz said.

"Just have the body ready. I can at least be able to recognize it by the face at least, hopefully it's not fucked up too much." Asmodeus said.

'Thankfull its not.' Fizz thought, glancing at the body again.

"Alright, I'll be waiting with Blitz and his crew." Fizz said as he hung up and rubbed his head. "Not how I expected today to go."

"Me either but that's life in hell, unpredictable." Blitz said, walking out of the room and coming back to Fizz with two drinks. "Some coffee while you wait?"

"Thanks." Fizz said, taking a cup.

"So, how was the honeymoon?" Blitz asked, making small talk.

"Wonderful and that's all I'm saying." Fizz replied.

"Oh come on, Fizz! You still haven't told me who's the top!" Blitz said, nudging his brother.

"And I never will." Fizz said, grinning.

"Oh come on, buddy! Tell me! I already know a demon like Asmodeus is HUGE but what are his tastes? His favorite positions? Tell me!" Blitz said, almost begging.

"See that's the thing, you're assuming he doesn't enjoy EVERYTHING." Fizz said, with a smile.

'I mean he IS the Sin of Lust, Ozzie enjoys doing and taking just about everything sexual.' Fizz thought with a blush on his face.

-Some Time Later-

A portal opened in the lobby and Asmodeus stepped through.

"Well, I hear this place has been a bit of a rough house." Asmodeus said, looking at Blitz, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, no need to worry about me." Blitz said.

"No, you're wrong. I do need to worry." Asmodeus said, "You and Fizzy are basically brothers in all but blood, and since Fizzy is my dear husband now, that make you family as well. I care about my family."

'Especially since Fizz told me how Barbie feels about Blitz.' Asmodeus thought.

"Oh! Well, thanks. It means a lot to hear that from you." Blitz said.

"I'm only speaking the truth." Asmodeus said, "Now, about this body."

"It's in the back. Better to keep it from prying eyes, it's bad for business." Blitz said as he waved his hand around.

Blitz walked to the back room, with Asmodeus following him in a smaller form.

"You know, I will never get used to seeing you small ." Blitz commented, glancing at Asmodeus in smaller size.

"It does feel a bit strange to me as well." Asmodeus said.

'Being in smaller buildings is always a hassle when you're a Sin. I don't see how Bee can stand being so small all the time?' He thought.

Once in the backroom, Asmodeus saw the body.

"Damn, you sure beat him up good." Asmodeus said, looking over the corpse.

"If you talking about his missing tongue, that was done before he attacked me. Nobody wanted him to talk about what happened here or if he failed." Blitz said

"Well then, it's likely that this isn't the first time someone has hired someone to take care of someone they don't like." Asmodeus said.

"Like I told Fizz, this is the assasination business. It's not pretty." Blitz said as Asmodeus looked over the face of the corpse.

He hummed as he pulled out his phone, going through the records of his sex toy operation to find a customer that matched this man's facial features.

"Hm... I'm not seeing anyone that matches his description." Asmodeus said, shaking his head. "I might be able to call Belphegor to do an autopsy and see if she can find anything that could at least pinpoint which ring he's from. That might narrow down a search radius."

"She can do an autopsy?" Blitz asked.

"She might seem drugged out of it and sleepy all the time but she IS the most skilled medical and surgical demon in all of hell." Asmodeus said.

"Okay, that's a fair point." Blitz said.

'I guess chopping up and ditching the body is pointless now.' Blitz thought.

"I'll go call her." Asmodeus said.

"Fizz is in the break room if you want to see him." Blitz added.

"Thanks." Asmodeus said, pulling out his phone as he walked to the break room.

Heading back to his office, Blitz fell back into his chair.

"It's not even 9 and I'm ready for this day to be over." Blitz said.

His intercom came on, making him groan as that meant their first client of the day was here

"Alright... just think about the money." Blitz said, taking deep breath.

He got up from his desk and went out to the lobby, seeing Moxxie speaking with the client.

"Alright, Mox, this the new client?" Blitz asked.

"Yes, sir. This is her." Moxxie said before introducing the client to Blitz. "Ms. Rita, this is my boss and owner of IMP, Blitz."

"Nice to meet you, what prick needs to be killed?" Blitz asked, quickly shaking hands with the woman.

"Oh you won't believe it! It was totally crazy!" The sinner woman said.

"Oh, now this I gotta hear." Blitz said, leaning against Loona's desk. "Proceed."

"It was crazy! I was just sleeping and enjoying my night at a somewhat nice hotel when I heard this eerie noise." The woman said as Millie brought her some tea. "Oh, Thank you."

"I thought tea could help calm your nerves." Millie said.

"It really will. Now back to my story, I got up to find out what it was and suddenly... wham! My head gets cut off!" Rita said, slicing a hand below her head. "And the last thing I see is someone standing over my bed!"

"That would explain how your head is sort of floating right now." Blitz said, gesturing to her head.

"Right? It's completely crazy! I don't even understand how I can eat, drink, or breath right now!" Rita said before sipping some tea and "swallowing."

"It's hell magic. It doesn't always make sense. Anyway, where is hotel that you were killed exactly?" Blitz asked.

"It was called the One Star Wo-"

"Wonder." Blitz said, remembering that hotel. "Yeah, I've overheard a couple of sinners talking about dying there... huh..."

"Something wrong, Sir?" Moxxie asked.

"I think... I might know what might be doing it, but I can't be certain." Blitz said.

"Does that mean you won't take my case?" The woman asked.

"Oh no, we will. I'll just need to get some "out of office" help for this one." Blitz said.

"Who?" The floating head woman asked, tilting her head.

"When there's a problem with a hotel, you call someone that runs it to fix it." Blitz said, "Is Fizz still here? I need him to make a call for me."

Chapter Text

The portal to the human world opened and Blitz drove the van through. They got out, wearing human clothes and wigs, Loona was in her human form, and their special guest got out.

She had brown shoulder length hair, chestnut colored skin, a small amount light freckles, and her outfit was the same as always.

"So, this is Earth." Emily said, looking around. "Always wanted to come here."

"It's not as great as it looks in some parts, but it is nice overall." Millie comments.

"We're very glad you decided to come, your Highness." Moxxie said, feeling slight fear from the daughter of Lucifer being here.

"Oh, you can just call me "Emily."" Emily said, shrugging. lI don't really do the whole royal thing unless I am trying to make people afraid, or they piss me off and I stop being nice."

"Good to know. Now does everyone know the cover story for this?" Blitz asked.

"We're a family on a road trip and we need to stay at this hotel for the night." Millie said before gesturing to herself and Moxxie. "Moxxie and me are the married parents."

"Loona and Emily are our daughters and Blitz is uncle James." Moxxie finished.

"Precisely." Blitz said, snapping his fingers.

"Here's hoping this works." Emily said, patting her shirt clean.

"Don't worry, our plans work most of the time." Loona said as they approached the hotel. "You'll see when we get inside."

The One Star Wonder, written in flicking and mostly broken lighted letters above the doorway.

"It's not what's inside the hotel I'm worried about ruining the plan." Emily said, looking at the sky and scowling.

'I bet Sera can see me right now since I'm on Earth.' Emily thought.

Little did she know it was actually her father looking down right now. He was confused as to why she was there with a bunch of imps, but he trusted Emily.

'I'll have to ask about this later during my next visit.' Lucifer thought before going back to work.

Back with IMP plus Emily, they entered the hotel and found it to be instantly appalling.

'Oh this just hurts me! If I ran a hotel this bad, I'd kill myself!' Emily thought.

'Alright, crappy and creepy hotel. Check. Now where's the front desk?' Moxxie thought, glancing around.

"There's the front desk." He said as he found it, motioning everyone to follow.

Looking at a book, the man working the desk hummed a bit before the bell was rung.

"Oh! A customer." He said before looking up, revealing his white skin and balding head with glasses. "Oh! Customers! Welcome to the One Star Wonder! Where it's a wonder how we still have that Star. My name is Rolando, how may I help you today?"

'I'll say you can help me.' Emily thought, pulling out her phone, 'How does my hellphone work even here with zero bar?'

"Hello, sir. We're on a family road trip, so we'd like some rooms for the night." Moxxie said, perfectly assuming the "fatherly" persona in a matching disguise. "Do you have some available?"

"Oh, certainly!" Rolando said with a nod, "Though, please be careful, as you can see we're going through some issues right now."

"What sort of issues?" Millie asked.

A roar of thunder was heard as the light flickered for a moment, making everyone jolt.

"Sorry about that. The storms have been causing some power issues, not to mention it's caused some of the guests to be all kinds of paranoid." The front desk worker said. "It's hard to run a business in these conditions."

"I bet." Emily commented, crossing her arms.

"Em." Loona said, nudging her "sister."

"Anyway, we've got a few rooms available they aren't connected or anything, sorry about that." Rolando said as he pulled out some room keys.

"It's fine, I trust these girls." Moxxie said.

"But the boys in this place better not get any ideas!" Blitz said, playing the role of "Uncle James."

They grabbed the keys and walked away, with Emily noticing every flaw with this place.

'These stairs are done bad day from breaking, that wall has excessive water damage, and that no smoking sign was painted on the wall... what hotel doesn't allow smoking anyway!?' Emily thought.

Smoking was a pleasure that everyone could enjoy, inside or outside. Why would a hotel be so stupid as to not let people enjoy a nice cigarette inside of their room?

'I hate this place even more now.' Emily thought.

A phone rang and drew their attention, turning to see it wasn't even connected to the phone line.

"Okay, that's just creepy." Loona said.

"Let's just hurry and get to our rooms before we get to business. This place screams "fishy" and I mean FISHY." Blitz whispered.

They all made it to a pair of connected rooms, opening the door between them to talk, as Emily opened her suitcase and revealed her angellic steel sword.

"So, there's definitely an issue here." Emily said, grabbing the sword.

"Heaven yeah. I could smell it, literally." Loona said, groaning as she rubbed her nose.

"So, what are we going to do?" Moxxie asked.

"We play this safe and search in groups. The one who killed our client might still be in this place." Blitz said.

"Got it." Emily said with a nod.

"M and M, stick together and search the north half. I'll go with Loona and the princess to cover the south half." Blitz said to them.

"Got it." Millie said, holding a katana on her shoulder.

"Let's get this done. The longer I'm in this crappy place, the more I want to stab something." Emitl said before pausing for a moment. "...I'm spending too much time near Niffty."

"Who?" Moxxie asked.

"A short, red haired, cyclops maid with a lady boner for killing insects. She was in the last commercial for the Hazbin Hotel." Emily quickly explained.

"Eh, we don't really watch commercials for your little hotel thing." Blitz said, shrugging.

"Figures but let's focus." Emily said as they all left the room and split up into their teams.

Once on the north half of the hotel, the husband of the duo holding two guns with silencers while the wife held her katana at the hip. Both stealthy moving down the hallway in search of clues.

"Keep your eyes peeled." Millie said.

"Always. Nothing will get past me." Moxxie said, keeping a sharp eye out.

A rat suddenly ran past them, making the two imp groan in disgust.

"This digusting place gives me the creeps." Millie said.

"Don't remind me. That phone from before still freaks me out. I don't know how people can stay here". Moxxie said as they passed a picture of the front desks man, which followed them with its eyes.

Coming to a halt, Moxxie noticed something off about it as he looked back and saw the eyes look straight.

'Someone is watching us right now.' Moxxie thought as his trigger finger was getting itchy.

"Millie... throw something at the painting." He whispered.

Nodding, Millie reached behind her back and pulled out an emergency hatchet before throwing it at the painting!

SHINK!

It slices through with ease, revealing a hidden room in the other side instead of a wall.

Moxxie jumped in, holding his guns out as he aimed for anyone that was inside but the room was empty.

"No one's here but they were." Moxxie said.

"And who ever it was, they weren't human. I can smell it." Millie said, smelling the air. "This place reeks of food from hell."

"Yeah, we should tell the-"

He was cut off as a pair of glowing eyes formed in the shadows and tendrils suddenly draffed them into the darkness.

"AAAAAAH!" They screamed as a new voice chuckle sinisterly.

"I think you little creatures should have a time out." A voice said.

Meanwhile in the south side of the hotel, the other three were walking through the dining room while still in their human disguises.

"Ugh, even their dining room is shit." Emily muttered in disgust.

The room was covered in cobwebs, utensils were covered in rust, and there was a bunch of cracks on the walls.

Yet people were still eating their food and talking in the room without a care in the world!

'Even I wouldn't eat anything here. Food or object.' Emily thought.

"Ugh. The smell is even worse here." Loona muttered, covering her nose.

"Well, the sooner we find what's going on, the sooner we can leave." Emily said.

"You heard, the princess. Let's sniff around." Blitz said, more literal for Loona than him or Emily.

"Ugh." Loona said, but started to sniff around.

'I can't get down and sniff like normal or else I'll stick out, so I have to just sit down and look like I'm just ordering some dinner.' Loona thought as she walked around, looking like she was searching for somewhere to sit.

Eventually, she found a spot in the corner. Perfect place.

As she went to the table in the corner, Emily went to the bar to see if they at least had decent booze in this trash hole.

'Cheap gin… better than nothing I suppose.' She thought.

Sitting on a stool, she called the bar tender.

"Can I get a cup of gin?" Emily asked.

"Aren't you a little young for alcohol?" The barkeep asked.

Emily picked up a knife and stabbed the counter with enough force that the counter cracked.

"Want to see what I can do to your head?" Emily asked.

The bartender nearly dropped the glass he was cleaning before quickly putting it on the counter and pouring Emily a glass of gin before adding two cubes of ice!

"Here you are, ma'am!" He said with a fearful and high pitched tone.

"Thank you." Emily said, picking up the glass.

Taking a simple sip, Emily felt like she wanted to vomit but didn't.

'Oh my god, this is the fucking worst gin I have ever tasted!' She thought as she managed to put the drink down. 'I bet Husk's body is rolling in his grave... actually, does he have a grave or did they just toss his body in the ocean?'

As Emily was thinking of Husk's mortal body, Blitz was exploring the "salad bar" of the dining room and pretending to make a salad as he looked around.

'Ugh, I've seen less toxic things in Greed's polluted lakes.' He thought, glancing at the salar bar.

Still, Blitz made a salad as he gazed around at the other residents in the hotel. They looked normal enough while seemingly enjoying the food they were eating.

'Yeah, this is strange, this place has had literal people murdered and these people are here like its normal.' He thought, 'Either they aren't aware or are choosing to ignore it.'

After finishing his salad, Blitz walked over to sit alone as he pulled out his phone and pretended to eat.

'Mox, Mil, have you found anything?' He texted to Moxxie and Millie.

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

They didn't responded.

'Okay, that's concerning.' He thought.

He then texted Loona and Emily, whose number he just got, to ask them if they got any idea if they know what happened to the married couple.

'I don't call or text them, so no.' Loona texted.

'Nope.' Emily texted.

'Wow, big fucking help.' Blitz thought blankly as he put his phone away and just decided to look around for anyone that looked suspicious of murder. 'If I'm lucky enough, the murderer might just come to me.'

BOOM!

A roar of thunder was heard as the light flickered, making everyone in the dining hall pause.

'Add shitty electrical to the list of things in this place that suck dick.' Emily thought.

Emily finished her glass as she groaned, pushing it for more.

"Got any tonic for this gin?" Emily asked the bartender.

"I'll have to check with the kitchen." He said, pouring Emily more gin.

He went off to the kitchen while someone walked up to Emily.

"Hey, girl. Drinking alone?" Someone asked, sitting down next to Emily.

"Yep. Wish I had better gin though." Emily said, drinking more.

"Well, perhaps I can-"

"If you try flirting with me, I will set your dick on fire more than the seven STD's you already have do." Emily said.

The man was surprised by this as Emily went back to her drink.

"Oh!…So, you're gay?" The man asked, still surprised.

"No, I just don't care for romance." Emilt clarified.

"Bad experience?" The guy asked.

"Never interested. I'm ace, dude." Emily said, waving him away. "Now piss off before my uncle kills you."

"Uncle?" The man asked.

"Him." Emily said, pointing towards Blitz.

The IMP boss glared like an overprotective uncle and pulled up his shirt, revealing his gun.

This scared the man as he almost peed himself and got up quickly.

"So sorry to disturb you! I'll be on my way!" he said before briskly walking out of the dining the

'Fucking prick.' Emily thought as she reached over bar and grabbed the gin bottle, pouring herself more before a child went up her spine.

A familiar chill she got whenever a demon tried to kidnap her.

She looked around, but saw nothing.

'An invisibility spell?' Emily thought, sniffing the air a bit to try and find the invisible person again.

She didn't like this one bit as she pulled out her phone, texting Loona and Blitz that she was going back to the room and somebody would be tailing her.

'This place sucks.' She thought.

Leaving the dining room, Emily put her hands in her pockets as she waited for her invisible Peeping Tom to try anything with her again.

She made it to the room's hallway when she felt something.

'There you are!' Emily thought as she summoned her sword and swung, knocking back the invisible demon without killing him.

"I knew someone was watching me, so going off alone was the best choice to draw you out." Emily said, approaching where the "person" crashed.

"Very smart." The invisible demon said, "I can tell you're more than just some demon."

"Same to you. Not just any demon can come up and camouflage themselves to kill humans." Emily said, putting her sword on her shoulder. "Now give up and let me kill you... I promise I'll make it quick."

"Hehehehehe. Kill me quickly? Little girl, you have no idea who you're dealing with." The demon said before mking himself visible, revealing himself to be Rolando from the front desk.

Only in his true form as an infestor demon. Tall and spindly, resembling an eel, with grayish-turquoise skin, silver-ish light green fins, yellow eyes with no irises or pupils, and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

'The creep from the front desk? Didn't expect that.' Emily thought.

"I could say the same to you." Emily said, going into her full demon form.

(Full Demon Emily talking: Bold)

The fishy investor demon must not have known who Emily was or didn't care since he blindly rushed at her with his claws ready.

Emily blocked it with her sword.

'By his appearance, he's from the Envy Ring. They don't usually come here unless they have a valid reason.' Emily thought as she swung her sword, making the demon duck back to dodge.

Before she could attack again, he scratched/slapped her across the face and right into a wall!

"Hehehehe. Sorry about the love tap." The envy demon joked with a chuckle.

"Okay... now I'm mad." Emily said with glowing red eyes.

Emily pulled herself out of the wall, growling as she stabbed her sword into the ground. Snapping her fingers as a ball of hell fire came to her hand and threw it at Rolando!

"Whoa Nelly!" He let out as he ducked, letting a wall catch on fire. "Hey! Watch the wallpaper, this shit isn't cheap!"

"This sorry excuse for a hotel is the definition of cheap!" Emily shouted, throwing more fireballs.

Rolando continued to dodge as the hotel hallway burn with flames and the smoke wafted up towards the sprinkler system.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

The fire alarm and sprinkler system went off, making everyone in the hotel jump up in shock. They, except Blitz and Loona, rushed out of the hotel while Emily and Rolando continued fo fight.

But sadly for Emily, she was fire and the fish demon thrived in water.

"Oh yeah, that's the stuff. It was getting a little stuffy in here." Rolando said as his skin and clothes got wet. "Now the fun can really begin."

With a single step, he appeared in front of Emily in a flash and kicked her in the stomach! Knocking her back into the wall!

"UGH!" Emily grunts in pain, glaring at him as she stood up. "Alright, show me what you got!"

Even outside of water, fish demons from Envy can move as fast as a bullet. But Emily going to back down yet as she rushed at the eel demon.

Throwing a punch, Emily's arm was grabbed and she was thrown into another wall.

"Sloppy, sloppy, and you think yourself an assassin." Rolando said before gathering water and turning into a tidal wave!

Emily took a breath and blew a stream of flames, clashing with the wave as steam quickly filled the hallway around them.

"I'm FAR worse than that." Emily said as she called back her sword and ignited it in hell fire, ready for the envy demon's next attack.

"How cute." Rolando mocked as he attacked with punches and kicks, making Emily block and dodge them in the water and hellfire covered hallway as the flames kept spreading.

"Give up, you bastard!" Emily shouted.

"Never! This job is too much fun to quit!" Rolando shouted.

"Is this a job or are you just killing because you love it!?" Emily asked.

"Why not both?!" He yelled, biting down on Emily's shoulder.

"AHHH!" She screamed.

'Always... the same... FUCKING... shoulder!' Emily thought, thinking back to when Valentino bit her shoulder.

Grabbing his neck, Emily knees him in the balls several times as the demon groaned in pain!

She then forced him against the wall, holding her sword against his neck.

"Alright, asshole, time for answers!" Emily said, pushing the edge against his neck. "Where is Millie and Moxxie?"

"Is that what they're called? Don't worry, you'll see them soon." Rolando said, grinning.

The envy demon suddenly submerged into the floor, becoming a black liquid as he pooled around Emily's feet.

"What the hell?!" Emily shouted, gazing at the floor.

The black liquid began to slither up her legs, making Emily grunt to try and step out but it somehow was sticking her to floor like glue!

"Get off of me, you creep!" Emily shouted, blowing fire breath at her own legs.

That didn't stop Rolando as he dragged into the floor. Gone from sight, with only his light laughter filling the halls.

Chapter Text

Meanwhile with Blitz and Loona, they were still in the dinning room. And since all of the human evacuated the hotel, they could be in their demon selves as they tried to contact their allies.

"I don't like this." Loona said.

"Yeah, no word from Mox, Mil, or the princess. This is bad." Blitz said as he pulled out his gun. "This shit is getting real. We need to find them, NOW."

"Then let's go." Loona said.

They left the dining room and explored the halls, the hellhound taking the lead as she sniffed for clues.

"Somehow, the sprinkles are making the air in here easier to stand. I can almost smell something" Loona said.

"Think you can follow it?" Blitz asked

"Yeah, but I'm going full hound encase this fucker jumps us." Loona said as she got on all fours.

"Good idea." Blitz said.

Blitz watched as Loona grew in size, becoming as big as a hellhorse as her hands turn into paws like her feet. She gained more canine proportions, and her fur became much messier with two additional, smaller pairs of eyes appear under her original eyes. Seeing she was big enough to ride like a horse, Blitz jumped into her back as Loona took off running and followed a foreign scent she found.

"Smells like Cigarettes, beer, and depressed optimism. Definitely Emily." Loona said with a nod.

"You can smell depression?" Blitz asked in surprise.

"Yeah. Though I pick it up from you WAY too much, dad." Loona said, a little concerned.

"…We can talk about that after we finish this job." Blitz said quickly.

"Oh, trust me, we are." Loona said, still concerned. "You're letting out much more than usual."

'Damn it, Loonie. Why did you have to pick up THAT from being with Bee?' Blitz thought.

About a minute later, they stood before a wall or possibly a fake wall.

"There. Soemthing is behind here." Loona said.

"Is it wood or is there a switch?" Blitz asked, getting off of Loona.

"Wood." Loona said, sniffing the wall.

"Shit. Well, then I guess we'll just do this the hard way." Blitz said, pulling out a knife.

He ran the blade along the fake wall until it hit a hidden edge, finding a door. Blitz then used the knife to wedge it open.

"Mox? Mil? Princess?" Blitz asked as he looked inside. "You in here?"

"Em? If you can hear me say something." Loona said, also looking inside.

The inside of the room was pretty dark and silent, making Blitz pulled out a lighter to see what or who exactly was inside of the room.

With the flame lit, the imp and hellhound could finally see their missing trio. Bound by ropes and gagged in the room, unconscious by the looks of it as all of their weapons sat on a table.

"Shit, he knocked them out, good." He said, before turning to Loona. "Loona, let me know if someone is coming. I'm going to get them free."

Loona nodded as she stood guard outside of the fake wall, allowing Blitz to go inside and untie the trio.

Before slapping them all awake.

Emily, regularly being slapped awake, simple looked up.

"How long was I out?" She asked simply after taking off the wrap around her mouth.

"No idea." Blitz said, removing the gag from Millie and Moxxie. "But I think it's time for nap time to be over."

"Ugh, my head feels like a barrel of monkeys are jumping around inside." Moxxie said, rubbing his head.

"Can you shoot straight?" Blitz asked.

Moxxie shook his head and blinked, seeing his vision was clear enough.

"Yes but I'll need to focus just a bit." Moxxie said as he got up and helped Millie stand up. "Are you okay, Honey?"

"No, I'm pissed off. That fucking infester got the drop on us with that pussy sneak attack." Millie said, holding her head with a scowl.

"I had a feeling it was an infester. Knew I should've done this alone." Blitz muttered.

"Absolutely not. Do you have any idea how dangerous infester demons are, especially if they literally get into your head?" Moxxie said, pointing to his own forehead.

"Yes, and that's why I should've been the only one to do this. My mind is fucked up enough as it is, I can take it." Blitz said, pointing to his own head. "Besides, you know how I feel about Millie being in the field."

"What? Why?" Emily asked

"Nothing./She's pregnant." the three imps said at the same time.

"Guys!" Millie said angrily to them.

"And she refuses to accept maternity leave." Blitz said, shaking his head.

"Wow, that is insane." Emily said, looking at the female assassin.

"Screw you! I'm not sitting on the side saddle while these two have all the fun!" Millie said as she got up and reclaimed her weapons. "I'm a Wrath imp, proud and strong! Baby or not, I will get shit done until the baby comes out! No sooner!"

In the hallway, the lights suddenly began to flicker. All of them were put on guard as Loona caught the scent of someone, growling as she searched for him.

"Come out, you fucker." Loona said.

"Hehehehehhee, you little it's are just so tenacious. It's adorable!" Rolando said, revealing himself from the shadows.

"I don't pull this often, but as Princess of hell, I demand you give up!" Emily aid with authority.

"Princess?" Rolando asked.

"Princess Emily Fucking Morningstar!" Emily shouted as she revealed her true form. "And I'm going to make sure you die for what you've done today."

"Ugh, you? You're no princess! Hell, the queen is barely a queen worth her crown!" Rolando said, having no respect for Emily's status.

"Satan's balls, you Envy demons really have no respect for any other race, do you? Bunch of fucking Karens." Blitz said, rolling his eyes.

"In that case, you can die right now!" Emily shouted as she summoned her sword and ran at Rolando.

Rolando jumped back from a swing as Loona slapped him with her tail, sending him into the right side wall!

"You can't take all of us!" Loona said.

"Especially if you need cheap hit and run tactics!" Moxxie said, grabbing his guns and firing at Rolando.

The infested dodged them as Millie rushed in with her katana, slashing at Rolando as he dodged her attacks but his clothes were getting cut.

Blitz then started shooting hs gun as Rolando dodged those bullets too, before Moxxie got him in the knee while Millie kicked him in the face!

"Take that you son of a bitch!" She screamed.

Emily then rushed in and kicked him in the balls, making Rolando a scream in pain before she punched him in the jaw!

"That's for my shoulder, asshole!" Emily shouted.

'After this, I'm taking a trip to Envy and straightening out these uppity fish! Screw what aunt Levi says!' Emily thought as Loona tackled Rolando to the ground.

She tried to bite down on him but Rolando moved his head several times to keep from being killed!

"Get off me you BEAST!" He shouted, unleashing a pulse of magic to blast Loona off of him!

"Ugh!" Loona grunts as she hit a wall.

"You low class imps think your assassins?! You're nothing, lower than maggots!" Rolando shouted a he stood up, sending another pulse of magic that sent Blitz, Moxxie, and Millie back.

Emily stood her ground and crossed her arms from the wind that picked up from the pulse.

"Cute." She said, before cracking her knuckles. "Now it's time to dish out some fucking royal punishment."

Emily burst forth and threw a punch, making Rolando dodge and threw a kick, which Emily blocked before grabbing his leg!

"GRR!" She growled as she slammed her elbow down, breaking his knee.

Rolando screamed as he fell to the ground, holding his leg as Emily held up a fireball.

"Time for a fish fry!" Emily shouted.

Rolando hissed in pain as he glanced at the imps and hellhound, having one more trick up his sleeve to keep from dying.

The very trick that made him an "Infestor" in the first place as he chose his target!

"You!" Rolando said as he turned in black liquid and slipped away from Emily!

"HEY!" Emily shouted at him.

The liquid/Rolando moved rigg past Loona, slipping under Moxxie, and splitting into two around Millie before diving right into Blitz's eyes!

"Blitz!" Millie shouted as the leader of imp collapsed, his eyes turning pitch black before he passed out on the floor.

"Sir!/Dad!" Moxxie and Loona, who changed back to normal, shouted as they rushed to check on him.

'Shit, this is bad! Ghosts might not exist but possession does!' Emily thought as her and Millie went to check on Blitz too.

The imp demon groaned as he slowly opened his eyes.

"Blitz, are you-" Millie was pulled back as Blitz swung at her!

"Everyone get back!" Emily shouted as she pulled Moxxie and Millie back. "That's not Blitz anymore."

"What?! What d-" Loona was punched in the face, knocking into a wall by her own father.

"Infester demons take over the host." Emily said, glaring at "Blitz."

"Hehehehehe and what a host have I got!" Rolando said, controlling Blitz as he stood him up.

"Let him go!" Loona shouted.

"Hehehehehe, or what? You gonna hurt the only father that actually cares about you, despite all the shit you put him through?" Rolando/Blitz mocked with glowing, pointing to his head. "It's actually impressive how much shit this imp can go through without having a massive breakdown! I mean his despair alone is like a giant buffet and it tastes miraculous!"

"You don't know anything about my dad!" Loona shouted at him.

"Hehehe, I know everything about him now!" Rolando/Blitz shouted as he attacked Loona, making her block his attacks. "And you wouldn't believe the kind of things he doesn't say about you guys!"

Suddenly, he kicked the legs out from under Loona.

"UH!" Loona let out in shock before being punched to the floor!

"Like how he wonders if he was ever a good enough father or if he should've left you in that orphanage!" Rolando/Blitz said before blocking a kick from Moxxie.

"Don't listen to him, Loona!" Moxxie said as he jumped back, pulling out a collapsed baton. "He's just messing with us!"

"Oh! The little man thinks he has big coconuts!" Rolando/Blitz said as he began fighting Moxxie, blocking/dodging the baton. "He's always thought of you as worthless. You're the biggest mistake in his company!"

'Don't listen to him! He's just egging you on!' Moxxie thought to himself, being punched in the face before blocking a second punch and kicking Rolando/Blitz back.

But Rolando/Blitz dodged it and hit Moxxie with a back elbow.

"You were never good much in a real fight! That's why you always rely on your crazy bitch wife to be the muscle for your wimpy ass!" Rolando/Blitz mocked as Millie glared at him. "Go ahead, try and fight me without hurting your unborn child."

Millie almost rushed in as Emily pulled her back, stepping forward herself.

"Let me. He doesn't know anything about me, so I won't be bothered by his bullshit." Emily said, popping her neck bones and smirking.

"Oh so the little glutton wants to fight again!? Ha!" Rolando/Blitz said, relying on Blitz's memories from his talks with Fizz about Emily.

"Yeah I'm a glutton and proud of it!" Emily said as she charged at him.

"You're really proud of being a fallen angel among the worst Hell has to offer?" Rolando/Blitz asked as he dodge a punch but was kicked in the stomach!

"Falling to Hell was the best thing that ever happened to me! It opened my eyes, let me see things that were hidden from me previously!" Emily said.

Her movement was wild and her swings were brutal, she wasn't going to hold back on Rolando/Blitz for several reasons.

One of which is that beating Blitz up is the only way to knock Rolando out of his body.

Another... Emily is filled with a lot of anger, and she doesn't hold back.

"What would you old friends in Heaven think if they saw you now?!" Rolando/Blitz shouted as he blocked most of the punches.

"Like I give a fuck what any holy fuck thinks!" Emily said as broke through his defense; kicking his throat, punching his ribs, and kneeing him in the chest as Rolando/Blitz stumbled back in pain. "You can't do emotional shit to me, bitch!"

Rolando/Blitz had his back against a wall as he tried to think of something to throw Emily off so he could escape! But he glanced around and saw Loona, Millie, and Moxxie blocking both ends of the hallway to prevent his escape.

"Go ahead. Try something." Moxxie said with a grin.

"Mainly, get out of Blitz!" Millie shouted.

"NOW!" Loona said with a loud growl, hating how her father was being possessed right now.

"Make me." Rolando/Blitz said before he was suddenly kicked in the balls, making him scream in pain in Blitz's body as he falls to his knees!

"Wrong answer! And I can assume Blitz can handle this kind of punishment but can you?!" Emily shouted at him as she grbbed him by the neck.

"She's right! Blitz can handle a lot of punishment, physically and mentally!" Millie shouted.

"He's a lot tougher than you think!" Moxxie shouted.

"So buckle up, you ugly motherfucker! Cuz this is going to hurt!" Emily shouted as she punched Rolando/Blitz across the face. "I am literally going to beat the shit out of Blitz! And you're the shit!"

Emily begain wailing down on the demon, enjoying it immensely as if she's on the ultimate drug trip and mercilessly beating Rolando in Blitz's body as the envy demon was suffering greatly.

Imps were breed to be tanks, durable and with stamina to last. It came with being one of the lowest class of hellborns, but envy demons were VERY fragile. Magically, they were powerful but physicall, they were not.

And Emily made sure to use that to her advantage.

"Ugh! Ah! Wai-UH-T! Sto-PUH!" Rolando/Blitz grunted out between each hit, begging for mercy.

"Get out of Blitz and THEN I'll stop!" Emily said with a spinning back kick to Blitz's face. "Because I have a whole lot of energy! I can literally do this all day!"

'All day?!' Everyone thought in shock, shivering as they imaged being beat down for at least 12 hours straight.

"So what will it be?" Emily asked, punching Rolando/Blitz in the nose.

"Grrrrr! Damn it!" Rolando shouted before "puking" black sludge to the floor, making Emily release Blitz from the wall.

"Now to finish this." Emily said as the sludge tried to run as Rolando reformed but Loona grabbed him by the neck!

"You are not going anywhere!" She shouted, growling in his face. "It's payback time!"

Something Millie was more than happy to help with as she stabbed Rolando through the stomach and kept him against another wall!

"AAAAAAH!" He screamed as Millie punched his throat! "Ugh!"

"I'll show you what a crazy bitch wife can do!" Millie shouted in rage, beating the shit out of Rolando.

Something everyone just allowed as Loona and Moxxie went to check on Blitz while Emily watched.

"Dad, you okay?" Loona asked.

"Ugh... define okay?" Blitz said, hissing in pain from the beating he endured.

"Are you still you, sir?" Moxxie asked.

"Then yep, I'm still me. Despite the fact Emily just tried to crack my nuts open." Blitz said, wincing as he held his crotch.

"Well, I had to do something to get the infester." Emily said, shrugging.

"Still." Blitz said with a wince. "I think I need an ice pack or something."

"We can take you to the Sloth ring after this." Emily said.

"Thanks but I think I just need the ice." Blitz said as he turned to Millie still mercilessly beating Rolando. "So, what about him? Do we kill him quick or just let Millie keep doing what she's doing?"

"I'd say just let Millie keep going, she seems happy." Moxxie said.

"Even as she's literally clawing his eyes out?" Emily asked, pointing to Millie.

"Yep." Moxxie said, being reminded why he loved her so much.

Her ferocity, her bloodthirstiness, and the way her hair looked when she was putting an asshole in his place.

'I love that woman so much.' Moxxie thought.

"Yo, Mox, less horny more helpy." Blitz said, struggling to stand up.

"Oh! Sorry!" Moxxie said as he went to support Blitz with his arm over his shoulder. "Since the hotel is mostly empty now, let's get you to the kitchen for some ice."

"Great and damn... that girl needs to join a soccer team or something." Blitz said about Emily as Loona helped him walk too.

"My sport is more competitive eating." Emily comments, still watching Millie beat Rolando to death.

For the next several minutes until Rolando was finally dead and Millie's mood was much better than before.

"Today was a great day." Millie said as she stood up and walked away from the corpse that used to be Rolando, barely bothered by the blood ll over her body but the sprinkler system was dealing with that.

'Hmm, should I burn him to ash or just eat him after cooking him a bit?' Emily thought, gazing at the body.

Chapter Text

After dropping Emily off, the group headed back to IMP.

"Blitz, could we get a few days off after that mission?" Moxxie asked with a sigh, glancing at his relaxed pregnant wife.

"I was going to suggest a week." Loona said, still concerned about Blitz's mental state.

"Yeah, sure, whatever." Blitz said without thinking.

He didn't say it but Blitz needed a break himself the most after what he went through while Rolando was controlling his body.

Once they arrived at the building, Blitz went into office and plopped down in his chair with a heavy sigh. Reaching for a drawer, he pulled out a hidden bottle of booze.

"Cheers to my fucked up life." He said before ripping off the cork and drinking it.

A drink that could only dull his emotional pain for so long acts all the mistakes he was just reminded up.

His life in the circus, the accidental fire that killed his mom, Fizz losing his limbs, breaking up with Verosika, his fallout with Barbie….

"I am SUCH a fucking mess." He said, slumping in his chair.

Knock knock knock.

"Dad? Can I come in?" Loona asked from the door. "Please?"

Wondering what his daughter wanted, Blitz shrugged as he put the bottle on his desk. Maybe she would be asking if she would be getting paid during the week off, even if she was a rich wife to the sin of Gluttony.

"Come on in." Blitz said.

Loona opened the door and walked into the room, holding two mugs of hot cocoa in her hands.

"Figured you could use something sweet after today." She said.

"I have blueberry tequila." Blitz said, holding up his booze bottle.

"Something sweet and NONALCOHOLIC." Loona said, setting the mugs on the desk and taking the tequila.

"Sometimes alcohol is the only thing that can help." Blitz said, reaching for it.

"Normally, I'd say yes, but I'm not that dumb teenager anymore." Loona said as she pulled the booze away and pushed a mug to him. "Go on, drink up."

Blitz sighed as he grabbed the mug and took a sip of the hot cocoa.

"Hmmm, pretty good." He said woth a hum.

"I'm glad you like it." Loona said, leaning against the desk. "So…can we talk bout the mission?"

"I'd rather not." Blitz replied.

"Please do?" Loona asked, giving Blitz the "puppy dog eyes."

'Dont give in.' Blitz thought as he went quiet.

He didn't want to talk about it, like he REALLY didn't want to talk about it, but her eyes were just so adorable. So innocent, which was ironic at the same time since Loona was far from innocent; it was taking everything in Blitz to not look into her eyes and just give in to her demands.

"T-that won't work on me." Blitz said.

"Please, dad?" Loona asked, fluttering her eye lashes.

"The only thing this did was bring up memories I don't want to remember." Blitz said, glancing way.

"Then maybe we can talk about them?" Loona asked, making her lip quiver. "Please, daddy?"

"GRRRRRRRRRRRR FFFFFFFFFFFine." Blitz said with a groan.

Loona grinned as she moved to sit on his desk and waited for Blitz to start the conversation.

"I didn't have the best life." Blitz said, with a sigh. "In fact, I think the mere idea of being near me causes people pain."

No it doesn't, dad." Loona said.

"Yes it does, Loonie. I caused a lot of pain to a lot of people and a few of them that a that meant something to me, got hurt the most." Blitz said, visibly becoming depressed.

"... Not me." Loona said, making Blitz look at her, "You didn't ruin my life, you saved my life."

"Maybe but I'm sure someone would've-"

"NOBODY was going to adopt me from that place. And even if they did, they would've just kicked me out when I turned 18." Loona said as her ears dropped. "You took me in and despite all the issues I had, trust included, you didn't give up and keep caring for me. You saw something in me that made you want to help me."

"... I saw myself." Blitz admitted as he had a small flash back when he glanced at Loona, seeing the scared young hellhound crying in her room/cell while cradling into a ball once again. "I saw someone so sad, angry, and alone that it must've been hard to trust anyone. When I looked at you... I saw myself in the aftermath of my family's circus fire."

"Really?" Loona asked.

"Yeah." Blitz said, sipping more cocoa. "Just shows what one mistake can do to ya. And I ruined the lives of so many people, that I was hoping maybe I could save the life of at least one person before it was too late."

"And you did. Not just with me but you saved Millie and Moxxie too." Loona said with a smile.

"How?" Blitz asked.

"Because there was no future for any of us until you brought us together, and you made something of us." Loona said with a smile.

"Maybe you but I'm sure-"

"Millie was a lone, angry hit woman trying to make a name for herself and Moxxie was a wimpy mafia son that didn't even want to be in the mafia." Loona said, having read their personal files long ago. "If it wasn't for you, they'd either be alone and miserable or dead. Plus, they'd have never meet and gotten married. Every your self hatred can't deny that you've had a positive effect on them."

"Yeah…I guess." Blitz said, sipping his mug again so Loona can't see his smile.

"More than a guess. Not to mention you help all of the sinners that give us business find closure for those that wronged them. Petty or not." Loona added, sipping more of her cocoa. "You should be happy about all the work you've done and no matter how muc you've been pushed down by the world, you still continue to keep going."

"I'm basically a cockroach." Blitz jokes.

"Hehehehe, yeah but you're the best cockroach I know." Loona said with a smile. "And... I don't know what I'd do without you."

"You really mean that?" Blitz asked.

"With all my heart, dad." Loona said with a smile. "Whatever that guy showed you, life will never be worse than what you've been through. You've risen above that."

'And if you ever fall, I'll be there to raise you back up.' Loona thought as Blitz smiled happily at her.

"Thanks, Loonie. I needed that." Blitz said, his depressing state nearly completely gone.

"It's not that you needed it, it's that you deserved to hear it." Loona said, finishing he cocoa. "I'm going to head back to Gluttony, will you be okay on your own?"

"Yeah…I'll be fine, Loonie. I promise." Blitz said with a nod.

As Loona left, Blitz allowed himself to breath easy and finish his cup of cocoa.

'My life…it's fucked up but I'm glad, cuz it wouldn't change how good it is right now for anything.' Blitz thought before remembering a certain owl that he still had feelings for. 'Almost, anything.'

Chapter Text

Blitz entered his apartment and fell face first onto the couch.

After a long day of work, he was ready to take a long and well deserved nap before ordering something for dinner.

Hopefully he wouldn't have... that dream... again.

"I better not have that dream again." He muttered before shutting his eyes and falling asleep.

He in fact… did have the dream again.

'God and satan fucking damnit.' Blitz thought as he leaned up in his dream.

It seemed as of late whenever Blitz had even a moment of peace in his sleep, life just decided to fuck him over and make him relive his worst memories.

He just expects the worsee as starred at the ceiling of his dream.

'And he should be coming in three…two…one…' Blitz thought as he pointed to the entrance.

Which was slammed open by an adult imp.

"Blitz! Wake your ass up, it's time for practice!" Cash Buckzo shouted, waking up his son.

"Morning to you too, asshole." Blitz said with a glare, looking down to see himself as a teenager once again.

'I fucking hate this.' He thought.

"Don't sass me, boy! Now hurry up, Fizz and Babrbie are waiting on us!" Buckzo said, leaving the room.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming." Blitz muttered, getting up and not bothering to shower since it was just a dream/memory.

So he didn't say anything else and just went with the flow and hoping this nightmare would end abruptly as he went to the big top tent.

Where his younger, teenage, innocent, and all of their original family marks/limbs siblings were waiting.

"Hey, Blitzo! Hey dad/Mr. Buckzo." They said.

Blitz gave a short wave as he knew what was coming.

"Alright guys, let's get into position one." Buckzo said as he clapped and took his place as ring master.

They nodded as they went into position one.

"Ready, dad!" Barbie said.

"Ready to go!" Fizz said with a thumbs up.

"Ready." Blitz said, having no emotion in his voice.

"Then it's showtime!" Buckzo shouted with a grin, waving his hands in the air.

Blitz was hoping this dream would end before the nightmare came as they did the routine from the high ropes, swinging from bar to bar as they did tricks in the air.

And Blitz knew what was coming up next.

"Alright gang! Big finish!" Buckzo said, pulling out a whip from somewhere.

Blitz winced at the sight it, he had no pleasant memories of that whip. Either from seeing the animals (mainly horses) getting whipped or from Buckzo threatening them to do better with it.

'Here it comes.' Blitz thought.

They all took to the bars and swung to each other, letting go and spinning in the air towards each other.

And then the nightmare began.

'First Fizz holds his hands out to catch ours.' Blitz thought, watching dream Fizz grab both their hands while in the air.

Using his tail to hold onto the bar as they swung around, only for the ropes to suddenly snap.

And all three of them began to fall, with Fizz and Barbie being the first fall while Blitz had to watch from falling slower than them.

Blitz just waited, he knew what came next. He's had this nightmare so much that nothing about it could even phase him anymore.

'And 3…2…1…' he thought as he saw his sister and brother hit the floor, bursting into guts and blood as he landed on their corpses. 'Right in cue, brain. You fucking bitch.'

He then stood up and wiped the blood from his body.

And here comes dear old dad.' Blitz thought as Buckzo ran over.

"BARBIE! FIZZ! NOOOOOOO!" He screamed in horror, falling to his knees. "My kids!"

'Bet you'd be thrilled if it was me, you dumb fucking bastard.' Blitz thought.

Suddenly, Buckzo glared at Blitz and stomped towards him!

"You! What did you do?!" He shouted as he pulled out the whip.

"I didn't do anything. The ropes broke on their own." Blitz said calmly.

"Bullshit!" Buckzo shouted as he lashed the whip at Blitz, making him dodge it by a hair as he steps back. "YOU SABOTAGE THE ROPE! YOU KILLED THEM!"

He lashed at the whip again as Blitz dodged.

"Why would I do that!?" Blitz yelled.

"Because you've always been jealous of them! Wanting to take the spotlight!" Buckzo shouted, lashing the whip again and Blitz dodge.

Please, if I would try and kill anyone... it would be you, you worthless piece of shit." Blitz said with a glare.

"Excuse me?! Don't talk to your father like that!" Buckzo shouted, whipping and hitting Blitz in the face cheek! "I brought you into this world and I will sure as satan take you out of it!"

"Then try it, motherfucker!" Blitz shouted back. "I've been wishing to be taken out of this world, a world I never wanted to be brought into!"

Buckzo didn't seemed to care what he had to say, just continuing to whip Blitz, covering him in shallow marks.

Having experienced worse, Blitz didn't even whimper from the nightmare pain.

"That all you got, dad?" Blitz asked sarcastically.

"Grrrrr!" Buckzo growled before lashing the ground, igniting the whip on fire.

"Oh, fire, wow." Blitz said, unafraid and rolling his eyes. "Imps are fireproof, remember?"

"This is hellfire dumbass!" Buckzo shouted.

"Oh really? Guess what, I've already been lit on fire before." Blitz said, crossing his arms.

More times than Blitz could count honestly but that didn't matter in a nightmare. Nothing painful in here could phase him.

"I'll fucking kill you!" Buckzo screamed as his voice became more demonic as his eyes turned black.

"If I wasn't successful, then you never will be." Blitz said, yawning a bit. "Mayeb try something else besides this boring whip shit."

Suddenly, the circus transformed into a gladiator arena full of countless weapons and with a roaring crowd of demonic fans.

All of which looked like people Blitz has wronged or people that just hate Blitz in general.

"... Okay, this is new." Blitz said with a pause.

'My nightmares have turned into torture chambers, prisons, and shooting ranges with me as the target but never a gladiator arena full of the people that hate me.' Blitz thought as he looked up at the balcony, where the master of the arena was watching. 'Wait, is that dad? Why is he up there?'

The gladiator door opened, revealing who he'd have to fight.

And it shook Blitz to his very core.

"No….No, it can't be." He said in horror, slowly walking backwards. "Mom?"

Covered in fire, skin literally melting off the bone, the "zombie" mother of Blitz glared as she wore pitch black batle armor on her arms, legs, and chest woth a black loincloth around her waist.

"ROOOOOOOAH!" The flaming nightmare mother of Blitz roared, making the crowd cheer as Buckzo raised his hand.

"Behold! Our champion has returned to claim another victim! Tilla the Slaughterer will paint the arena in blood once again!" He shouted to the crowd, pointing towards Blitz.

Who began to breath heavily and hyperventilate at the sight of seeing his mother like this.

'Mom? Fight? Us? N-No! No! I could never fight mom!' He thought as Nightmare Tilla charged at him.

"ROOOOOOAH!" She roared, grabbing two swords from the ground and a mace with her tail!

Thinking face, Blitz picked up a sword and held it defensively as she attacked him!

"No! Mom, stop!" He said, blocking all of her wild attacks.

But Nightmare Tilla didn't lisfen to him, eithwr ignoring him or acting like a wild animal, she kept attacking with the blades and mace. Even flipped and spinning around Blitz with shocking acrobatics to try to kill him!

'Shit! She's even better than I remember!' Blitz thought, blocking upwards, backwards, and from the sides as fast as he could.

Looking around, Blitz saw a shield buried in the dirt and rushed to it, making his nightmare mother follow.

He picked it up and held it close, using it to block the attacks from Nightmare Tilla as the crowd roared in amusement, shouting slurs and slander against Blitz.

"Kill him!"

"Rip his throat out!"

"Shove that sword up his ass and tear it out through his spine!"

Blitz tried his best to block the voices out. It was the same thing he did in his other nightmares but these seemed more ferocious, louder and more defined as Nightmare Tilla broke her swords again his shield.

"Oh thank Satan, she's-" Blitz was knocked back roughly by the mace smashing into his shield! "AAAAAH!"

"Roooooah!" Nightmare Tilla roared as she discarded the broken swords and picked up a spear.

She lifted it up and went to stab, slash, or bash Blitz's shield. Chipping and cracking it away bit by bit.

"Mom! Please just-" Blitz was knocked back again!

"SHUT UP, YOU LITTLE BASTARD!" Nightmare Tilla screamed at him.

With a powerful swing, Nightmare Till knocked his shield away, before she stabbed Blitz right through his stomach!

"GUH!" Blitz gasp in pain as the crowd cheered for Nightmare Tilla. "M-Mom!"

"You ruined everything! You destroy our circus! You maimed your brother! You made out Barbie in a mental hospital!" NightmareTilla shouted, pushing forward and forcing Blitz to slam into a wall! "I can't understand why you keep living like a parasite after the fire! You should've been the one to die! You DESERVED to die!"

"... ... ...I know." Blitz said softly, crying a bit.

Why he cried was from the emotional pain, not caring about the physical pain as Nightmare Tilla moved closer.

"You were the biggest mistake I have ever made my life." She said with a hiss.

"... Then just fucking end me." Blitz said softly.

This actually made Nightmare Tilla flinch as she stopped before him, looking him in the eyes.

"What did you just say?" She asked.

You say I was a mistake... Correct it then!" Blitz yelled with a glare.

The crowd became strangely silent as the "mother" and son stared each other down.

"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! DO IT! DO IT ALREADY!" Blitz yelled at her.

Nightmare Tilla still seemed to hesitate as she let go of the spear and brought the mace to her hands, holding it up and ready to bash his skull and brain in.

But that was when he woke up from the nightmare. There was no gasp this time, only a small blink as if he woke up from a normal dream.

"…What the literal fuck as that?" He asked himself.

'I'm getting really tired of this shit.' He thought, wiping some sweat away.

Looking at his phone, Blitz saw that barely an hour had gone by since his nap.

You know what? Fuck it! Sleep is for the weak anyway!" He said as he jumped off the couch.

Using his phone, Blitz called his favorite delivery place for dinner. It was run by probably the only person that he's never pissed off, so he knew it was reliable.

"Hello? Yeah it's me. I'll have 2 orders of my usual. Actually, make it 3 orders." Blitz said into the phone before hanging up.

With that dealt with, he moved to do something else.

"Now I need a shower to wash off this damn nightmare funk." Blitz said as he could smell himself.

Why nightmare sweat made someone smelled so bad, who knows?

Loona might know after being around Bee for so long but she's not here right now, so Blitz will put that question aside for now.

Chapter Text

A few days later, Blitz headed to Lust to hang out with Fizz.

It was a nice day off that they both could use to catch up and talk. Maybe even go see a show.

Besides, out of all the rings, Lust is one of the nicer and calmer rings. No one really fights, or risks getting shot, or anything close to that. He lost count of how many times he's nearly been killed just stepping foot into Greed.

'That Wild West fucking place is too crazy even for me.' He thought, entering a good bar that would be good for him to meet with Fizz.

He sat down at the bar and waited for Fizz.

"What can I get you?" The bartender asked Blitz.

"A gin and tonic with a hit of lime juice and hellfire cinnamon." Blitz said.

The bartender got to work on that when Fizz entered and sat at the bar.

"Whatever he's having, I'll have a double." Fizz said with a grin.

"Double huh? Long work days getting to you?" Blitz asked with a grin.

"Well, we're working hard on the new club in the Pride Ring, so I'm spending a lot of time there." Fizz said, scratching his head. "The commute alone might kill me."

"You ever thought of you and Ozzie moving to Pride then?" Blitz asked.

"Out of the question. Lust has been my home for years and Ozzie's for even longer. Plus, lewd as it may be, it's the most peaceful and safest place to raise a child." Fizz said as the bartender served them their drinks.

You still talking about that?" Blitz asked.

"We've decided that we'd try in a few years." Fizz said.

"And who will be the mom? You or Oz?" Blitz asked, sipping his drink.

"That's something we'll deal with later." Fizz said as he took a sip of his drink, jolting a bit from the surprising mix of lime and cinnamon.

"I can just imagine what your kid would look like." Blitz said, putting his drink down.

"Neither can I but I'll love them all the same as any parent would…except Buckzo. He showed unfair favoritism." Fizz quickly added.

"I know." Blitz said blankly. "If I ever get the chance, I may kill that bastard."

"Wow, really? I mean I get it but you'd want to kill him yourself?" Fizz asked.

"The best kind of revenge kill is one you do with your own hands. Makes it "taste" sweeter, so to speak." Blitz said, drinking some more. He doesn't deserve to live anyway. He's one of the people that kept me from you after the... accident."

"Yeah, he did and it was the reason I started hating you. I stupidly thought you didn't care enough to come see me after causing the fire." Fizz said, feeling a bit of guilt.

Blitz let out a growl.

"Typical fucker. Swear to Satan, if it's not one things it's another." He muttered. "Wonder how that fucker is doing now?"

"Probably with a new circus?" Fizz asked.

"Like that bastard could afford that." Blitz said with a hand wave.

'Not sure what he did with all the stuff he made me steal from Stolas but he probably burned through all of it years ago.' He thought as they both finished their drinks.

"Moving on from me, how have you and IMP been?" Fizz asked.

"It's been something, especially with one of my assassins being pregnant and refusing maternity leave." Blitz said as he ordered another round.

"Well, you know how stubborn wrath ring imps can be." Fizz said, "Remember when the circus went there and-"

"I'd rather we not bring up the Farming incident." Blitz said blankly.

'I still don't know if that was Millie's farm or not and I'm too scared to ask her right now.' Blitz thought.

"Here you go, two more gin and tonic with lemon and hellfire cinnamon." The bartender said.

The two took their drinks.

"So, how's the married life treating you?" Blitz asked.

"It's even better than before actually." Fizz said with a smile.

"I'll bet." Blitz said, grinning. "Shame you got tied down, the bachelor life is rocking!"

"You'll find someone." Fizz said.

"Don't read in between the lines." Blitz said quickly.

"Come on, Blitz, you can't let your fear hold you back." Fizz said, "What about trying to give it another go with Verosika?"

"After the shit I pulled with her? I'm lucky enough to still be her friend, much less her boyfriend." Blitz said, taking a big swig of his drink.

"Well, after what happened between us, I thought it was impossible to even be in the same room as you without wanting to... well anyway... if you can fix this friendship, maybe you can fix that relationship." Fizz said.

"Yeah, maybe." Blitz said.

'But that's not the relationship I want to fix right now.' Blitz thought as Stolas came to his mind for a second.

"So, other than the assassin business, how's life been treating you?" Fizz asked.

"Not bad. Maybe get a pet since it's been kind of lonely since Loona moved out." Blitz said.

"Empty nest syndrome huh?" Fizz asked.

"I wouldn't put it like that but I guess." Blitz mutters.

"Hey, there's no shame in it. I'm sure all parents feel that way." Fizz said, patting Blitz's back.

"Excluding my old man." Blitz said.

"Yeah, not that dick. Moving on, maybe a pet is a good idea. I know some-"

"Don't say Chihuahua." Blitz said, interupting Fizz.

"… we'll, I'm out of ideas." Fizz said.

"Yeah…unless you can get me a baby horse." Blitz said.

"Im not doing that." Fizz said quickly.

"Oh come on!" Blitz said.

"Blitz, you managed to raise a late teenage hellhound into a great woman with a husband and wife. But a wrathian horse is an entirely different thing." Fizz said with a straight face.

"I was good with the horses at the circus." Blitz said.

"Most apartments barely allow pets under certain conditions. You think a HORSE will be allowed?" Fizz asked.

"The Pride Ring doesn't care, it's different there." Blitz said.

"Tell me that again when they have to clean up or smell horse shit like I did that day." Fizz said blankly.

"You're still on that?" Blitz said, rolling his eyes. "Come on, I said I was sorry years ago!"

"I know but the smell still haunts me to this day. I can't even look at a horse without getting trauma flashbacks." Fizz explained with a haunted look.

"Trauma club." Blitz said, raising his glass. "Nice to know I'm not alone in that club."

"Yep. But let's not talk about that, let's change the mood." Fizz said, chugging his drink. "How about a drink off?"

"Oh ho ho, you're looking to lose?" Blitz asked, grinning playfully. "I don't mean to brag, but I did beat Beelzebub in a drinking contest once."

"You don't know how much I can handle. I don't tell Ozzie EVERYTHING I do." Fizz said with a grin of his own.

"You are on mother fucker!" Blitz said as Fizz slammed a fistful of bills on the counter.

"Prepare to lose, you two bit assassin!" Fizz said.

The bartender chuckled as she pulls out several shot glasses and poured booze in all of them.

"Good luck." she said as she took the money.

From that point, their night descended into a full on booze off. Shot glasses , full glasses, flaming shots, flaming glasses, hard seltzers, wine coolers, spiced wines, lite beers; EVERYTHING alcoholic was on the table for Fizzarolli and Blitz to drink just so they can try and outdo the other.

And the two of them had passed the point of being drunk HOURS ago.

"I think you guys have had enough?" The bartender said, taking Fizz's debit card after he ran out of cash money.

"Not… until… he… loses." Fizz said, wavily pointing at Blitz.

"Fuck you!" Blitz said, pointing in the opposite direction of Fizz.

"Rightttttttt, I think you both have lost." The bartender said, pouring them both their last drink.

She also made sure to send a message to Asmodeus, because these two were WAY too drunk to last five seconds outside.

"We ain't lost til one of us passes out! Now let's keep going!" Blitz shouted as he grabbed the drink and chugged it.

The bartender made sure to get that message out fast.

'Is the money really worth it anymore?' She thought as Fizz chugged his glass too.

"Ha! Beat that, Blitz! You-You can't beat me this time like all the others!" He said drunkly.

"That's... what you think!" Blitz said, his eyes actually spinning from all the booze. "I've been the drink champ since we were teens! I can outdrink you any day! Barkeep! Another round!"

"Sure…" she said, pouring non-alcoholic booze this time. "Here you go."

Fizz and Blitz took the glasses, chugging at the same time before they paused.

'... Did they just die?' The bartender thought, looking between them. 'They don't look like they're breathing!'

Suddenly, both of them dropped their glasses and collapsed on the countertop. Silent for a few moments before they both snored loudly, finally sleeping off their drink off.

"Oh thank Satan, they're alive. Asmodeus would've killed me if they croaked." The bartender said as she cleaned up the broken glasses.

With these two passes out, it sure would make it easier to clean and allow the other patrons to enjoy the rest of their time in the bar without their drinking contest to ruin it.

It didn't take long for Asmodeus to arrive... they are in Lust after all, it would be weird if it took longer than a few minutes.

"Thank you for calling me." Asmodeus said to the bartender.

"If there was anyone that could deal with this, it would be you." The bartender said.

"As a Sin or as Fizz's husband?" Ozzie asked.

"Mainly the first and congratulations on your marriage." The bartender said with a smile.

"Why thank you, now if you don't mind, I think I need to get these two back to my tower." Asmodeus said with a smile.

"Go right by ahead. Your husband paid for everything with cash before using his debit card." The bartender said, handing the card to the sin of Lust.

"I expected as much." Asmodues said with a sigh.

'I wonder exactly how much did they drink exactly?' He thought as he picked up Blitz and Fizz, exiting the bar. 'Better get the coffee ready for them.'

Entering his limo, Asmodeus set Blitz on one of the seats while holding Fizzarolli in his arms like a baby. It would be good practice for when they actually had a baby in the future.

"Driver, back to the tower." He said.

"Yes sir, Mr. Lust." The driver said, pulling away from the bar.

Asmodeus had a feeling this would become a common thing when Blitz and Fizz hangout from now on.

Chapter Text

Blitz groaned as he woke up, rubbing his head from a massive hangover from last night.

"Ugh... oh Satan that sucking hurts." He muttered.

Leaning upward and rubbing his eyes awake, Blitz saw that he was NO in his apartment anymore. He was in a very stylish apartment with a gentle pink light over everything.

"Damn... I see why Fizz likes it here." Blitz said, figuring out where he was quickly.

"Thank you." Asmodeus said, wearing a giant whitish pink robe, as he brought two cups of coffee into the den. "I take pride in my inferior design as much as my work in lustful toys."

"Guess so and I guess Fizz and I overdid it, huh?" Blitz asked as he pieced that Asmodeus came to get them after they passed out.

"That's an understatement." Asmodeus said as he offered Blitz one of the coffee mugs.

Something the imp graciously took and drank from deeply.

"I also put some painkillers in there to help with your headache." Ozzie added.

"Thanks. It's already working." Blitz said, sighing in relief.

"I'm actually surprised you're awake already, you two had to of drank at least half the bar to be passed out like that." Asmodeus said.

"Fizz obviously never told you how much shit I've down and what I can endure. Especially college before I dropped out." Blitz said, drinking more coffee.

"He never even told me you went to college." Asmodeus said.

'I mean, I thought he was just running his business on grit, luck, and a prayer but he actually has education in business practices?' Asmodeus thought.

"Yeah, I went to college but it was brief." Blitz said.

"How brief exactly?" Asmodeus asked.

"I don't know…semester? Semester and a half?" Blitz said, barely remembering. "College really wasn't my thing."

"It's not for everyone." Asmodeus said, siping some coffee before changing the subject. "So, how has your business been going?"

"Good. We haven't been shut down yet." Blitz said.

"How are you friends? The married couple?" Ozzie asked.

"Also good but Millie is preggers and she refuses to go on maternity. Too much wrathian pride." Blitz said.

"Ugh, don't get me started on Wrath." Asmodues said, rolling his eyes. "I don't understand what Satan does there sometimes."

"Make the imps there his bitches. That's why I'm glad to be born in Greed." Blitz said.

"Anywhere is better than Wrath." Asmodeus said, "Though personally, I think that Lust is the better ring, not much actually happens here."

"Fizz said the same thing. Perfect place to raise a kid too." Blitz said without thinking.

Asmodeus chuckled.

"Ah, I have a feeling I know what you two were talking about." He said.

"Yeah, so are you nervous about it?" Blitz asked.

"That's an understatement. I'm terrified but also excited about having a kid." Asmodeus said as he finished his coffee.

"Well, whenever you have one, remember to tell their favorite uncle when it happens." Blitz said.

"Mammon?" Ozzie asked before seeing Blitz's sour face, chuckling. "Sorry, I just had to do that."

"That's a terrible joke." Blitz replied.

"Oh come on, you know I don't mean that... I'd sooner lose my power than let my kids near Mammon." Asmodeus said.

"Probably because he'd exploit or spoil them rotten?" Blitz asked.

"Yes." Asmodeus and a now awake Fizzarolli said as the former walked into the room.

"Ugh, I haven't had this bad of a hangover since that one time in the circus where I tried to escape from a tank full of beer." Fizz said, rubbing his head.

"I LOVED That trick by the way. 10/10." Blitz said with a grin.

"I didn't. I felt like a jackhammer was drilling into my brain for three days.' Fizz said blankly.

"Well, it seems like you had a very fun night." Asmodeus commented.

"As fun as a flaming kidney stone." Fizz said.

"I can attest to that. It is fun." Blitz said.

"Sure it is. Try not to get that drunk again, I got a little worried Fizzy." Asmodeus said.

"Blame him." Fizz said, pointing to Blitz.

"Oh no! You suggested the drink off, not me." Blitz said before his stomach growled. "Speaking of suggestions, what's for breakfast?"

"I could always-"

"NO!" Blitz and Asmodeus said at the same time.

Fizzarolli's cooking was NEVER to be allowed. EVER.

"Ugh, you guys suck." Fizz said with a pout. "Fine, I won't cook but I want breakfast burgers!"

"I just don't want the place to burn down, I spent enough getting the kitchen renovated." Asmodeus said, "Don't want it to get ruined."

"And I don't want my taste buds to be violated again." Blitz said blankly.

""I'm not THAT bad!" Fizz said.

"Fizz, last time I had anything you made, it tasted like chicken." Blitz said.

"So?" Fizz asked.

"It was fucking water." Blitz said chopping his hands forward.

"Chicken water?" Ozzie said in confusion.

"Yep. Chicken water." Blitz said. "I still have no idea how he even managed it."

"Can we just stop talking about it and make breakfast?" Fizz said as he crossed his arms.

"Okay, Froggy." Asmodeus said as he picked up his husband and carried him into the kitchen as Blitz followed them.

Looking around the ridiculously large mansion as well.

"Damn, this place is huge." Blitz said, glancing around.

"Best part of being a sin is living in a big house." Asmodeus said with a grin.

"I get that but not even Bee's place." Blitz said as he looked around at the wall art.

"Well, sometimes I am a bit lustful in showing off." Asmodeus said with a grin.

"Yeah he does. Like a beautiful peacock." Fizz said, scratching Asmodeus' chin.

"Fizzy, not in front of your friend." Asmodeus said.

"Please. This is too mushy for me, I think I'll about to vomit again." Blitz said, holding up a hand and looking away.

"One day, you'll grow up." Fizz said.

"Ah, fuck you." Blitz said, rolling his eyes.

'At least I can cook, clown boy.' Blitz thought.

"Well, this sure is nice to see." Asmodeus said as they reached the kitchen. "You two really act like brothers."

"Of course we are. His family took me in when I was young, we don't need to be blood related to be family." Fizz said.

"Ah, the love of family is truly a beautiful thing." Asmodeus said, "And I don't mean in the incestry kind of way either. You two have been through so much and you still are brothers. I can barely stand my family when we have a meeting."

"All families are different. You can't pick the one you're born into." Blitz said as he sat at the table.

"I know how that feels." Ozzie said as he set Fizz at the table with Blitz and began cooking all of them "breakfast burgers."

"So, good thing you found someone that actually knows how to cook." Blitz said, "Otherwise you would've starved to death."

"Not true. I know several good take out places. Plus, I don't have to worry about my weight anymore because of Mam." Fizz said with a smile.

"You'd get sick of take out. Trust me." Blitz said.

"He's right." Asmodeus said. "Nothing can beat a nice home cooked meal."

'Even weird breakfast burgers like this.' Asmodeus thought.

"He gets it." Blitz said, points to Asmodeus.

"Whatever." Fizz said, stretching his arms and grabbing the newspaper.

"Can I get half that?" Blitz asked.

"Yeah, I don't like the sports section anyway." Fizz said as he handed Blitz the sports section of the newspaper. "Never really took you for a sports guy."

"Eh, I like to make bets and sometimes the losing teams have funny sad photos." Blitz said.

"I should've expected that." Fizz said, rolling his eyes.

Ozzie chuckled at their back and forth before adding some salt to the breakfast patties; which were a mix of sausage, bacon, and eggs.

"So, your cooking as good as they say?" Blitz asked Ozzie.

"Best among my siblings. Unless you count Bee but she just uses magic to make food and that has absolutely no nutritional value." Asmodeus said, flipping a breakfast patty in the air. "I prefer the old fashioned way. Food made with love."

"That sounds CORNY but I can't deny the results." Blitz said as he remembers his mom home cooked meals made with love.

"No you can't." Ozzie said, putting the finishing touches on the burgers and moving the plates to the table.

Setting the papers down, Blitz and Fizz saw three breakfast patties for each of them on fluffy pancake buns and a bottle of syrup at the side.

"Huh, so THIS is a breakfast burger." Fizz said in surprise.

"It is now because the amount of burgers you eat a day is getting concerning." Asmodeus said.

"What are you, a doctor? And how do you know exactly?" Blitz asked as he put some syrup on his sausage-pancake-egg patty.

"Nope, I am an observant husband, I notice these things." Ozzie said.

"A curse that I love yet dread at times." Fizz said, already eating some of his own breakfast burger.

You are honestly rail thin for what you eat." Asmodeus said, looking at Blitz.

"I got a strong motabliza." Blitz said as he took a bite of his breakfast burger.

"Metabolism." Asmodeus is corrected.

"Same time." Blitz said with a mouthful.

Asmodeus rolled his eyes at this as he ate his own breakfast burger.

'Still illiterate and he doesn't care.' Ozzie thought.

But hey, he runs a successful business, so maybe he didn't need it.

Breakfast Burgers, original(?) recipe:

Chapter Text

Meanwhile in I.M.P., Blitz strolled into his business' office space

"Alright, people, what's the agenda for today?!" Blitz shouted for anyone to hear.

"Really... nothing." Loona said, looking at the computer. "There's no client right now."

"Really?" Blitz asked.

"Nope. Just been me looking at files while the married couple do inventory." Loona said with a shrug.

"Well, I'm sure something will come." Blitz said with a shrug.

"Yeah but until then, there's some paper work Mox put in your office." Loona said.

"Huuuuh. Alright." Blitz said with a sigh.

Blitz headed to his office as Loona went back to her "computer work."

Which was actually looking at social media or VoxTube videos.

'I am literally paid to do nothing. Best job ever being the boss's daughter' Loona thought with a grin.

-Blitz's Office-

He closed his door and sat at his desk, gazing ag the stack of paperwork waiting for him like his daughter said.

"Really hope someone comes in soon." Blitz said, taking the first paper off the top.

Paperwork was the least favorite part of owning a business.

But it was the most important part, so he sucked it up and did the paperwork….at least half of it so Moxxie could have something to do after inventory duty.

Though, Blitz's body saz going on autopilot as his mind was currently elsewhere. Thinking about….love…..once again.

Much to the bitter, stinging pain within his heart.

It began to annoy him, VERY MUCH.

How his thoughts always wandered back to the only demon that could love him in all of hell.

Stolas of the Ars Goetia.

But to Blitz, he ruined that. He kept thinking Stolas just saw him as a sex buddy or just a form of stress relief but...that was never the truth.

The royal bird demon actually loved an idiot like him and Blitz couldn't believ it until it was too late.

'If it was meant to be, a sign would've told me it was meant to be.' Blitz thought as he sighed again.

A call came to his phone, making Blitz jolt up as he turned to it.

"About damn time, I was about to be depressed again." Blitz said as he answered the phone. "Yello? I.M.P., who can we kill for you?"

"Hello….Blitz." A familiar voice said, making in Blitz nearly drop the phone.

"Striker?" Blitz asked before slowly growling, "It's been a while."

"Yeah, it has. I know there's still some bad blood between us but I hope we can push past that." Striker said over the phone.

"And why exactly is that? I made our business model perfectly clear back in Wrath. We here at I.M.P. only assassinated HUMANS targets, not demons. Sinner, hellborn, royal; no a one." Blitz said, holding up a finger that Striker couldn't see.

"I know, Blitz, and I've come to accept that. Tough as it was to swallow for a guy like me but I have." Striker said over the phone.

"So what do you want? You gotta a human that pissed you off somehow?" Blitz asked rudely.

"Something like that, yeah." Striker said.

"Well tell us who and where they are. Even if you tried to kill us, you're still a paying customer." Blitz said, even if he didn't quiet believe Striker.

Luckily for you, they're in the Pride Ring. Not too far of a commute." Striker revealed.

"I'll take your word on that." Blitz said, pulling out a pen and paper. "Now, that address."

On the other side of the line, Striker grinned as he gave Blitz the location of his target.

'Jusy as planned.' Striker thought.

"Happy hunting, good buddy." Striker said, hanging up the phone, "You'll need it. Hehehehe."

He was looking forward to Blitz getting his just desserts, pulling out his favorite gun and going back to polishing it before he called Blitz.

"This is going be fun as manslaughter." He said to himself.
