Blitz's P.O.V.
Should of known that blood thirsty bastard would be back! He will regret attacking Stolas as he has already dug himself a grave after nearly making me kill Moxie in our last battle. No one gets a free pass when it comes to my employees or those I get attached to. Striker has the speed and strength but, I have the cunning. I just need to survive long enough to get Stolas free so he can escape, he's more important then I will likely ever be and Moxie and Millie as well as Loona are all going forward while I seem to be unable to move on with my life. At least if I save Stolas maybe the ones I see as family will be ok.
I put on some bulletproof stuff but, as requested I didn't grab any weapons or backup despite knowing it was likely a trap however like Striker I was good to my word but, sometimes things have to be broken. If Striker doesn't keep to it things will become a blood bath. Im tired of being seen as a lowly imp and i'm going to show him that.
As I ran multiple demons stared at me and a few cursed but, I didn't care. They can eat my dust I had a person I loved needing help and potential saving. I got to the palace in minutes but, quickly slowed down as Striker had brought Stolas who was gagged and tied up while Striker had the gun that could kill royalty on his side. I could tell by the glare in his eyes that he was bitter about being beaten as his body was still covered in claw marks and bruises that covered several parts of his body. I was injured as well but, ignored it as I've been through worse.
The minute Stolas saw that I was there he had a look of disbelief and worry for my safety but, I gave him a quick thumbs up trying to reassure him then stared Striker down and said "ready for round two big man?" Striker responded with a growl and a rattle of his tail nodding "you're going to regret fighting me blitzo. Your precious prince here has a bounty on his head from a enemy that wants the goisha dead as a door nail standing up to me will just get you killed you don't have your weakling of a fighter here to distract me or your hellhound. Say goodbye!!" With that Striker runs forward at surprisingly quick speed and tries choking me out however in his haste I had already gotten behind him and grabbed his tail jamming it between two really tight rocks locking him in place and got the gun off him and tossed it far from the battlefield.
Striker hissed and thrashed around trying to get loose while I cut Stolas free of his binds and got his gag out of his mouth. In the background I heard Striker curse. I told Stolas to take cover and get as far as possible from the battle as it could get brutal fast. Stolas tried going against the orders but after I added the word please stolas nodded and responded "don't get yourself killed blitz I care about you" Stolas then left. Seeing Stolas get to safety was a relief but, I knew it wouldn't last as I had to battle with a crazed western imp with an advantage of Height and strength which was quickly cemented in my memory as with one more strong pull Striker's tail was once again free and the rocks were sent flying.
Striker's P.O.V
"Blitzo did you honestly think some rocks would stop me your dumber then I though. Just give up! You're in the way of my kill and really starting to piss me off! If you keep standing in the way I will have to kill you and I don't want to. Your fun to play with and so easy to trick. What makes you think you can save the prince when your already using cheap tricks to fight? Your a weakling just like the little imp you nearly killed."
I knew I hit a nerve saying that but, I don't give a cr*p. This mockery of a imp is just sad. How did he not die several times over? Maybe just maybe he has some skill that I haven't seen yet but it's likely just luck that he hasn't been killed. All the imps I'm surrounded by are either weak, uncoordinated, lucky or stubborn. That spitfire of blitzo's admittedly took guts to back talk me and the female was quick but blinded easily and didn't inflict the intended strike which if it had hit I would of admittedly been killed. Out of not wanting leverage I tossed her into the cellar purposly though I had been unaware about the trap but, I didn't feel great sympathy or remorse for her. Like the others she was in the way. I spared them but if they attack again their dead!
Blitz's P.o.v
He's distracted in his thoughts. It's my time to strike. While He's distracted I need to knock him out and get away . With that I lunged forward and used a hidden tranquilizer that I had brought that would knock him out for about thirty minutes. That should give me enough time to get Stolas away fully and hide the gun so Striker can't use it but the effects take a few minutes to hit so I just need to fight till then. It's obvious he won't listen to reasoning and I'm running out of ideas as I don't have weapons currently.
Striker's P.O.V
"You must be out of ideas right blitzo? A measly pinch won't hurt me. That's rather childish for an adult imp to do. Is little blitzy out of tricks? Your pathetic. I'm glad I was saved from working for your company. If this is all you have for tricks your more pathetic than I originally thought." At that I could hear blitz growl but then smile. Why is he smiling and why do I suddenly feel dizzy? what did he do while I was distracted?
3rd person P.O.V
As the tranquilizer took effect Striker started stumbling like he had too much to drink and then fell forward passed out. Blitz ran to stolas and grabbed the royalty killer up with a cloth and started running with Stolas. The two got several miles away from Striker and blitz disposed of the gun after emptying the bullets and destroyed them. The gun wouldn't be able to be found by anyone that easily. Not even Striker would be able to find it that easily. When Blitz got back Stolas simply stared at his mansion seeming uncomfortable about it so Blitz offered to let him rest at the headquarters and Stolas agreed. The rest of the night they slept together after ensuring the doors and windows were locked to ensure they had some semblance of safety and cuddled through the evening.
