Now in this Chapter I will be placing a reference to what one of the future books planned in the series and if you get the reference you will get to make a certain decision when the time comes to writing that book and its to the first person that I get the answer from good hunting

I paced the room trying to blow off some of the stress "What was that, was that who sent me me, why didn't he just kill me then or the first time he met and what in the absolute hell did that thing mean by let the games begin aaaghhhh!" in my rant I failed to notice that Hydranoid had left his bed and was now flying by my head.

"Partner calm down what's wrong" the concern in his voice was evident he hasn't seen me this terrified before "I-I saw him, the one who sent me here" he froze mid air just hovering above my shoulder just listening "he was like a shadow and when I looked at him all I could feel was pure terror" I strode to the bathroom grasping the sink looking straight into the mirror.

I turn the sink on splashing water onto my voice taking a deep breath "so what's the plan" Hydranoid asked as he flew through the door "first thing I need to do above all else is I need to get stronger or else I'm going to get bodied again and this time I won't be surviving if he decides to take me out" staring at the mirror I sigh turning to face hydranoid.

He seemed to ponder for a few moments "I guess I will have to speed up your training" all I did was nod as he sat on my shoulder. I clenched my fist "then tomorrow we begin because I have a bad feeling that this shadow is going to go after the others just because I'm here" I slowly walked from the bathroom to the bed "first thing tomorrow I have to get to I.M.P and explain what happened and then do some training and then I dunno maybe see what the backstories on some of the others here" I get into the bed and swiftly fall asleep the exhaustion of the day hitting me like a freight train.

The Next Day

I wake up to loud crashing somewhere down the hall "okay whoever woke my ass up with this Bellshilt is getting a slap to the face uuuggghh" dragging myself out of bed looking over to Hydranoid who somehow in his ball form just oozed contempt 'seems like he's not a morning person' he growls "I am going to enjoy burning whoever woke me " I put my hand out for him to sit in "calm down now come on let's find out who our desecrater of dreams".

I strode to the door in my pjs still slightly pissed from being woken up opening the door to see a trail of thrown objects "I have a good feeling this is going to be a laugh" hydranoid pipes up from my hand.

So we followed the trail that eventually led to what I now know as the lounging area and lo and behold Angel Dust and Vaggie brawling.

"What the hells going on?" wondering what the we're fighting over this time a voice came from behind me "Vaggie caught him trying to sneak into your room last night" making me jump.

'Jesus bloody christ' holding my chest it was Niffty standing next to me "Don't do that again you scared the hell out of me" she became a bit upset from what I said "sorry I didn't mean to scare you" her expression pulled on my guilt. Leaning down I wrap her in a small hug "its okay I'm sorry I have a bad tendency get a bit aggressive when I get spooked thats what happens when you get bullied for over a decade and was traumatised by horror films as a small child" I ramble as I have a moment that would have looked as if I was staring into space.

I see Niffty looking as if something was wrong with me shaking my head I recollect myself "so what's up, you need anythin" trying to get the conversation back on track.

She fidgeted with her hands and didn't say anything I was about to say something however a blur came into my vision and knocking me over. 'Okay now I'm pissed but better sort this out' breathing heavily out of my nose I grab Angel Dust and Vaggie and get them standing while being between them.

I place my hands out keeping them from going at each others throats "Ey what was that for" Angel dusts himself himself off while I'm struggling to hold Vaggie back with her lunging "let me at the spider slut-" already knowing where this was going "Will the both of you SHUT UP!" I turn to Vaggie "I told Angel that if he ever wanted to talk he could come on by" her eyes turned to saucers looking at the floor still angry but with the look of a child that's been caught with its hand in the cookie jar. I then turn to Angel Dust "and you are just as bad as you could have explained to Vaggie what you were doing and this might have not happened" he looked at me nonchalantly "eh sure if will stop me from getting to pay you a visit no prob" his tone shifting and the end of his sentence 'I'm just going to forget that bit' "okay now is this is over and done with I have to go and get something to eat. I make my way to the kitchens to go and make myself some breakfast.

As I made my way to the kitchen through the front hall of the hotel I saw the pictures hung up on the wall again 'huh looks like I missed some when I passed through last time' while the family portrait was still there the others caught me eye. Charlie was all dressed up in here demonic form while in a hug with some guy in a green suit and top hat with the frame the words "Hell School Prom" 'didnt think they would have highschool in hell she looks happier in the picture without the pressure of the hotel on her shoulders' after that thought I moved onto the next and it was a picture of Charlie with a bunch of others with the same guy in it from the last one, the picture from what I can guess is the two families 'maybe a birthday or celebration but what happened cause they aren't together anymore since she's with Vaggie?' I unconsciously rub my chin feeling my beard starting to come back making me smile.

As I went to go back to what I was originally going to do I took one last look at the picture then getting on my way.

I finally get to the kitchen and look through the cupboards and managed to find some cereal "bingo" seeing what it was though "oh now the hell came up with this pun khornflakes the more I find in Hell the more I want hot my head of something wait what am I saying Hell is made to be the opposite of paradise" but despite me giving out I poured myself a bowl of the red flakes.

"I saw what you did back there" I look behind me to see Charlie "what you mean?" wondering what she meant by it as it could have been a few things "she steps closer to me "with Vaggie and Angel while your method of aggressive negotion could be more gentle you did manage to get them to calm down and after you left apologised to each other" she has a small smile on her face that brings one to my own "I doubt that and all I did was tell them to quit their bullshit hell I was half expecting Vaggie to punch me in the face" I say as I go over to the fridge and take out the milk 'not even going to ask what this comes from'.

"While Vaggie can be intense she means well we've had so much pushback against our hotel that she's protective of me and it" her explanation brought the events of the day before when I well in simpler words went batshit and tried to hurt her "I-I'm sorry about what happened yesterday, I may have been in a bad place but that's no excuse so I wanted to apologise for it" not being to look at her without feeling guilt I finish making my bowl only to feel Charlie hug me from behind.

"We all make mistakes sometimes" I started feeling flustered not expecting the hug "uhh thanks Charlie but can you let me go because my cereal will start goin soggy" she let me go out of her scarily ironclad hug finally letting me get to my breakfast "oh and Vaggie wants to talk to you later" surprising me 'wonder why her of all people wants to talk to me' "thanks Charlie oh yeah before I forget to tell you I'll be heading out to talk to my boss about what happened yesterday in a bit" she listens just nodding as she walks out the door 'how the Devil and the Queen of succubi made someone so innocent amazes me' I lift my spoon and eat my cereal.

Once I finished my cereal I went back up to my room to put on a disguise after realising that going around hell without one was going to get me killed as a human I imagine would garner a lot of unwanted attention but I couldn't find anything that would work so now I'm left with the one person I know that uses a lot of makeup 'Angel Dust'.

A little time later I stood outside Angel's door 'god please don't make me regret this' I knock on Angel's door "who is it?" his voice came from the other side of the door "it's me" the door opens revealing Angel in shorts and a loose shirt "hey handsome what do you need?" he leans against the door frame "I need some help with a disguise to go into the city" his face lights up as he quickly grabs me dragging me inside.

He moves as fast as lightning applying face-lift and makeup however it was NOT PLEASANT all the powers kept making me cough "hold still I'm nearly finished ya big baby" he complains as he's finishing up on my disguise 'well this brings me back to my musical theatre days. He finishes up "not too shabby if I say so myself" he steps back to observe his work in the mirror to which I had to agree no one would know I was human like this "thanks Angel I owe you one for this" he smirks rubbing a hand down my chest "ill remember that now I have to get changed unless you want to watch me" he huskily says while bending over bringing and embarrassed redness to my face "it's okay I have to get to work anyway" I turn and leave the room to get out of the situation "your loss" he shrugs as I leave the room 'I should not have have told him about my bi curious stage if I knew this would happen I wouldn't have damn well told him' groaning my frustration I got my shit together to which I got the shit scared off me when Hydranoid spoke up from inside my "Angel Dust seems awfully eager" laughing at me "not a word or I'm not giving you a brush down tonight" he shut up almost straight away as weirdly like the show bakugan liked getting toothbrush scratches who knew.

The disguise seemed to be working as I made my way to the office of I.M.P I couldn't help but admire the city as for the murderers and the scumbags of the world hell would be paradise 'just like the old saying as above so below' after another 20 minutes until I saw the building '"finally phew I'm gonna need to find a faster a way because fuck me I hate walking" I walked through the entrance then take the elevator up to the right floor.

As soon as the doors opened I came face to face with Verosika 'for fuck sake why is God doing this to me' crying internally I hoped that the disguise would work. However her sadistic smile said otherwise. "nice disguise at least you aren't stupid enough to go around like last time without one" okay now this bitch is getting on me nerves even though she had a point "you want something Verosika or are you going to tease me all day.

She just laughs in my face "Yes I do to remind you of our little arrangement this Friday my office her at 6 don't be late" she strokes my chin when she enters the elevator as I leave it 'the sooner I'm done with her the better' after what felt like an age and the amount of crap I went through the office door of I.M.P.

I see Loona at reception "oh hey its you Blitzo was wondering what happened to you yesterday" she says surprised to see me putting her phone down "that's actually why I'm here do you know where he is" she just gestures with her thumb to down the hall in the office "thanks" she goes back to her phone.

I find his office knocking on the door pushing it open as it was for some reason unlocked to see the disturbing sight of Blitzo imagining a fantasy that was extremely blatant "let's threeway" his phone rings causing him to put his stuff down his trousers and sees me standing in the doorway still processing what I witnessed "hey newbie just a minute" he puts the phone to his ear answering it I left the room for decent as its rude to listen in on someone's phone call.

I could see that Moxxie and Millie were at the water cooler talking and instead of standing sound like a stick waiting for Blitzo I'm going to go and say hi "hey guys how's it going" they turned and were shocked to see me "what happened you didn't come through the portal yesterday?" Moxxie asks putting his drink onto the nearby table "thats what I'm here to explain but fair warning it's a bit of a long story so I waiting for Blitzo to finish up, how did it go yesterday with the mission" Moxxie instantly looked uncomfortable with regret plastered on his face but proceeded to tell me the story about the insane family they ended up killing "Mm0ox trust me I may not be the nicest of people sometimes but those people were monsters that needed to be put down" I shook his shoulder trying to give him some measure of comfort he just nods his face unchanging.

"We're going to Lulu Land!" before I could even turn my head Millie did her best impression of a rocket and blasted straight into the glass of Blitzos office door 'I feel like working here is going to be interesting' they all just started saying or rather shouting Lulu Land until Luna told them to shut up 'yep she's got some major anger issues "your coming too kid Mox will give you the deets on the way" he gestures for me to follow them down to the car park.

I get in the back of the van with Moxxie and Millie getting comfortable as I looked around the van I noticed a LOT of posters of ponies and horses 'someone either has a fetishism or really into horse riding' putting my hand on my knees I get down to business "so what are getting up to"
