Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Avian Attraction. Enjoy the 900-Word chapter. I don't own Hazbin Hotel, Viziepop and a few others do.
Nova weaved his way through the twisted narrows of the fairgrounds. He kept one hand pulling Octavia along so nobody shot her. He kept his other hand on his SMGs, making a point of exposing the guns so any would be assassins could tell.
"I feel SO safe." Octavia deadpanned as Nova stopped and chuckled.
"Hey, did you expect to need a bodyguard for a theme park?" Nova asked, pausing their walk and letting go of her arm. "Because I find this downright comical." Nova added, keeping his hands on his belt for the moment.
"No." Octavia stated while Nova hummed and looked at her for their next move.
Nova stopped to look around, his eyes full of the same mirth that he showed back at the house. Nova guessed that any potential assassins that could have showed up were currently scared off and the others? Well they were probably knocked aside by IMP and the others.
It further notified him just how much things are. How much of the fairgrounds were calling with criminals? That was a moot point, at the very least? It was moot to him considering everything and everyone in these places were already corrupted.
He turned to Octavia who seemed to count down from her previous encounter. She knew for a fact that more assassins would show up if they were nuts enough to attack them when they were caught off guard by something already.
"So, anything you want to do besides let me shoot someone?" Nova asked, tapping a finger on his beak. "I'd be surprised if we didn't deal with more in say… Let's be generous and give them 30 minutes if we're being generous." Nova added, curious as anything about what came next.
More people would come, Nova knew that more then anything. There was ALWAYS another big shot which could want the top spot. Nova wasn't much of an assassin, he didn't have the training, nor the skill and experience to be someone when they thought about it.
Nova rubbed at his chin, Octavia hummed and nodded once more. He leaned on a pole as someone's voice cut them up at the moment.
"VIA!" The voice shouted as both Nova and Octavia turned to the side, looking at Stolas as he and IMP approached them. "I heard gunshots, are you alright?" Stolas added as he turned to look around.
"Well, Nova shot someone trying to stab me to death in broad daylight." Octavia added which garnered a nod from Nova as he brushed off his weapons.
"Unless she's allergic to gunpowder or the sight of blood?" Nova asked and looked at the elder Goetia. "She'll be fine, I just don't know HOW many people are stupid enough to try and kill you. Someone was clearly stupid enough to try already." Nova added while he cracked his fingers.
Nova knew for a fact that someone was going to be break, somehow and such. Nova was going to guess that something weird would be happening soon.
"Oh, VIA, look, YOU USED TO LOVE THAT!" Stolas stated as he pointed to something while he turned to the two teenagers.
"Oh no…" Octavia said and started to back away while she grabbed one of Nova's SMGs from his belt.
Nova turned to see a cartoon clown upon a canvas of poorly drawn various colors. Nova blinked and turned to look at the princess while he hummed and tapped his sniper against his back as he did so.
"Uh… Sir?" Nova asked, grabbing the gun that Octavia held in an iron clad fist. "As much as I enjoy messing with the princess because of how fun our chaos bringing is…? I don't think she wants to go see the show… Hell, I don't think ANYONE besides children want to go see the damn show." Nova added, lowering the weapon from the doorway as he did so.
Stolas turned to see Octavia looked like she was going to be having a mental breakdown. Stolas was about to question his daughter before a hail of gunfire interrupted them.
Nova quickly dragged Octavia to the ground. He grabbed his SMG and fired it in the direction of the bullets. He cursed and looked at Stolas before looking at Octavia.
"C'mon, you limp…" One of the imps stated before Moxxie shot him in the head as Nova blinked.
"Seriously, how in the seven rings do they keep…" Nova said and turned to Octavia. "You should take your dad and find somewhere save. I'll kill these guys and find you guys later." Nova stated before leaning out of cover to return fire.
One of the imps collapsed to the ground, a hole burned in his chest as Nova pulled his pistol out. He turned the gun to Octavia.
"In case you have to shoot someone?" Nova said and offered her the weapon. "Might want to aim for whatever brains they have left." Nova joked before rolling out from behind the ledge to fire.
Author Notes
Phew. Another chapter done! I want to apologize for the chapter being short. I plan on making future chapters longer. Next chapter will be in 2-10 months and show Nova and IMP fighting the assassins and more about WHY Nova is a skilled fighter, until then? Lighting Wolf out!
P.S: Next chapter is 900-1500 words currently.
