Chapter 2

Kira192015: Hello everyone! We're back again with chapter 2! Hopefully you'll all enjoy this one as much as we enjoy making it.

WingcommanderWhitewolf: It seemed like the first chapter was well received. Will warn in advance, there might be some themes in this chapter(like the rest of the story really lol) that readers may not be comfortable with. I mean It is Hell, the usual set of "Earthly Morals" are not exactly held in high regard down there anyways.

Kira192015: That being said, we still hope you enjoy this regardless and give us your honest feedback. It's more motivating than you may realize and it really fuels the drive to write.

WingcommanderWhitewolf: I have a recently diagnosed case of ADHD! And I'm sensitive to negative feedback, or just no feedback in general. It makes me feel useless heh. We're both working on this together, sometimes our cursors do cross and we accidentally trip each other up. But that's Google for ya.

Kira192015: But at the end of the day, we still keep doing our best. After all, you can't fret over every egg when you're making the mother of all omelets. Without further ado, let's get started!

Max sat behind Blitzo's desk going over all of the documentation, the Imp's handwriting was absolutely disgusting. Ledgers, the client records, the accounting, deposits, payroll and expenses, none of it made ANY sort of sense let alone with all the art of horses, crude pornographic imagry, affections for his adoptive daughter, and hate spiel against arguably his best employee Moxxie. He felt like his head was going to explode.

"Who… does your office work? it's absolutely horrendous." he gripped as he opened a sticky client folder that had the picture of a female demon with her file.

"Please do not tell me that's what I think it is?" he tossed the folder onto the desk, got up and proceeded to use a bottle of sanitizer on his hands. Yohana cringed slightly but ultimately said nothing as she side eyed Blitzø from where she stood.

"Oh please, like you don't have any skeletons in your closet," Blitzø said with a scoff.

"Deflecting isn't going to help your case," Yohana said.

"And to answer your question," Blitzø continued, ignoring Yohana's comment, "Either me or Moxxie does the office work. Millie's not too into that sort of thing and my sweet Loonie is responsible for taking us to and from the world of the living. Although I usually leave it up to Moxxie since he's that much of a priss about it."

I'm going to have to give that Imp a gift basket or some kind of reward for putting up with this fool for so long, Maximus thought.

"We're going to have to get this mess straightened up… I can't see how you operate your business like this, you shouldn't be functioning."

"Well, I was," Blitzø argued, "Besides, who cares so long as money's made-!"

"You're missing the point you idiot!" Maximus lashed out at the Imp's shortsightedness, his eyes glowing brightly with anger.

Blitzø recoiled and Yohana rubbed Maximus' shoulder to calm him down.

"At the rate you were going, even taking everything else out of the equation, your business would have been guaranteed to lose as much money as it gained. Which is being generous if your spending habits are anything to go by," Maximus continued, "I will be handling the management of your funds until such a time I can either enlist someone to take over or someone is hired to do so."

"Oh what!? I'll have you know I'm tremendously great with my money!" Blitzø retorted.

"Really now? Then what's all of this!?" Maximus asked/demanded as he took out a bucket full of receipts involving purchases of pony figurines, pornographic material, and other unmentionables.

"I deserve some R&R too," Blitzø said with a shrug.

"Even at the expense of your employees' paychecks?" Yohana asked somewhat scornfully.

"It's what Mox gets for bitching all the time."

I'm definitely having someone else take care of the finances. This fool is going to doom all of them, Maximus thought.

A knock on the door was heard and a Hellhound entered with some paperwork and a license at hand. Maximus nodded and took it before the Hellhound left. He looked through the information and nodded his head.

"Here's the license," Maximus said, "I've a copy as well just in case."

"So what happens now?" Blitzø asked, accepting the license.

"Now we go over your means of entering the human world, as well as the types of assignments you will receive and finally, your staffing problem." Max gently pinched his brows, "You also have several delinquent accounts that have yet to be settled. Thankfully for you, I have a solution that I think you would even love."

"And what would that be?" Blitzø asked, looking very skeptical.

"We do have an enforcer in mind." the Goetia smirked, "He may take some time to get to know you. But he's capable."

"Enforcer?" Blitzø said thinking about it, "Now that I think about it…it would be nice to have someone to take care of clients that don't want to pay up after a job's done."

"Oh he'll be more than capable of a task like that and then some," Maximus said, "Yohana?"

"I'll go fetch him sir," the Kitsune said with a knowing smile before leaving the office.

Elsewhere, in a large bedroom, there was a massive king sized bed. The blankets were a velvet color and the pillows and sheets were a violet color. Three humanoid shapes were moving underneath the sheets.

"Does that feel good darling~?" said a voice belonging to a woman.

"Yeah…this really hits the spot," spoke a deeper masculine voice.

"You've been working yourself too much lately," said a third voice, also belonging to a female, "You're lucky you have us to…tend to your healing."

"Heh. When the services are this good, I suppose I am lucky aren't I?" the male asked before the door opened.

"I see you're recuperating from your training," Yohana said with a raised eyebrow and a smile as she stepped into the room.

"Hey Yohana. What's up?" said the male as he rose from the covers.

The male is a tall golden skinned demon with a bald head and horns protruding from the top and forehead. His eyes were a bright red with white irises. His frame was muscular with several scars appearing on his chest and shoulders. His ears were also pointed and he lacked eyebrows. This is Dakken, the Oni.

From both sides of him, two dragon-like demonesses appeared. The one on his left has aquamarine colored scales and yellow eyes. Her name is Katsura. On the right, she had lime-green colored scales and red eyes. Both of them caressed and held the man as their breasts pressed against his arms. Her name is Maiz.

"Maximus wants to talk to you Dakken," Yohane said, looking completely unfazed by what was before her, "He has a job for you."

"What kind of job?" Dakken asked as he motioned the women to give him room to get out of the bed.

"It involves various jobs ranging from assassinations to bodyguarding," Yohane replied as she watched Dakken get dressed.

He stopped for a moment before resuming getting his clothes on.

"You know how I feel about them," he said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"I understand, but Maximus has guaranteed you'll be paid handsomely. Not to mention this is personal for him as well," Yohane said.

"Personal how?"

"That's more for him to explain."

Dakken finished getting dressed, wearing a grey t-shirt and khaki jeans before getting his flip flops on.

"Let's get going then," he said, "I'm more or less completely healed up anyway. Katsura, Maiz, tell the old man I'm heading out."

"Hai!" both dragon girls said in unison.

Dakken and Yohana stepped out.

"So… where is this place?" the Oni asked

Yohana's response was swift, "Imp City."

"Fuck."

"Are you sure you want to go through every document sir?" Moxxie asked as he sat with a box of client files going through each and every one.

Max was not an exception, he sat at the conference table going through boxes as well, each and every file placing those that have paid up in full and the case was closed in one stack, and open and delinquent cases in the other.

"Yes, I am. Because once your new debt collector arrives he'll be needing the work."

"Debt collector?" Moxxie asked.

As if on cue, Yohana and Dakken stepped in. If Maximus had intimidated the IMP crew before, then they were definitely scared now. Dakken stared the four of them down, like he was looking directly into their souls. He then clicked his teeth before crossing his arms.

"These idiots? Really?" he asked, looking at Maximus.

"Yes I can understand your concerns," Maximus said, "But under my management they will, hopefully, be something worth investing in."

"I'll believe it when I see it," Dakken replied, "So what exactly am I doing?"

"Your job is essentially taking out clients who are unable to or refuse to pay for the services requested," Maximus said.

"You and I both know that I'm not gonna waste my time being some errand boy," Dakken growled.

"Relax. You'll also be specializing in bodyguarding whenever your 'boss,' Blitzø needs to be somewhere important," Maximus said with reassurance.

"So this is the guy you were talking about?" Blitzø said walking up to Dakken, "Hey there. Name's Blitzø, the 'o' is silent."

He extended his hand but Dakken just stared at him, making Blitzø grow more and more uncomfortable. Blitzø gave a nervous chuckle and attempted to change the subject.

"So uh…you're a pretty big guy," he noticed, "Heh. You compensating for something?"

"Depends…do you know the best technique to satisfy two dragon demonesses…at the same time?" Dakken asked.

The statement made everyone in the room go quiet and Yohana smirked. Maximus gave a tired sigh, as if a wave of exhaustion was starting to crash onto him.

"I know this will take some adjusting, but you're going to have to learn to get along," he said.

"Whatever. Let me know when I'm actually needed," Dakken said before he walked out the room, "Where the damn vending machines?!"

"Down the hall," Moxxie managed to say.

"Two?!" Loona mouthed to Millie having a hard time believing what she had just heard.

Millie looked at her, just as shocked.

"Uh…where did you get him?" Moxxie asked.

"He's a friend of mine," Maximus said, "Any other details he'll tell you, if he feels inclined."

"So what? Is he a Sinner or something like Tilda?" Blitzø asked.

"It's MATILDA you dick," Matilda growled.

"No. He's an Oni," Yohana answered.

"A what now?" Millie asked.

"They're an ancient race of demons that lived overseas, like myself. Unfortunately, their people were wiped out for unknown reasons," Yohana continued.

"How did you find him?" Moxxie asked.

"As stated before, most of the details are for him to divulge," Maximus said, "But we did find him with several mortal injuries and took him in for healing. He's technically been under my care ever since."

"Well he better be good at his job, otherwise he's off the team," Blitzø said.

I think him quitting on his own is more likely, Moxxie thought.

"Now that that's out of the way," Maximus said, "It's time to give you your Transition Wristbands."

Maximus gave the IMP crew four wristbands, prompting them to put them on.

"These will provide you with human disguises when you're in the living world," Maximus said.

"Uh. I've got a disguise already," Loona said.

"Show me," Maximus ordered.

Loona rolled her eyes before entering her human form. Loona's humanoid form is largely identical to her hellhound form, albeit human. Her eye colors are inverted, as she has white sclera with red irises. She shrinks down from her demon form, appearing to be of average height compared to most humans in this form and somewhat slimmer than normal.

She retains the same outfit as before, but with the addition of black knee-high socks and high-top sneakers and black lipstick. Her choker also loses the spikes, and in place of her torn right ear, she now has two earrings on each ear. Her head is shaved on the right side.

"Very good," Maximus said with a nod, "That being said you're keeping that wristband. I worked too hard on those for it to be thrown away."

"Alright alright," Blitzø said, "Oh fuck! Forgot to give that guy the list!"

"I'll get it!" Moxxie said, scrambling towards the desk.

He then handed it to Blitzø before the latter went to find Dakken. He sees him eating some chips and a soda.

"Hey big guy," he said, "Got a list of people I need you to…take care of."

Dakken didn't say anything and just kept eating his chips. Blitzø was getting irritated by this point.

"Look bud, I don't care if you look like you just got out of prison, I'm not going to put up with this silent treatment bullshit," he said, "I get enough of that from my daughter!"

"She probably finds you as annoying as I do." the Oni snorted.

"Hey! Only my sweet Loonie is allowed to give me that kind of sass!" Blitzø said, getting in his face.

"So you let your daughter walk all over you?" Dakken asked mockingly, "Hmph. How you expect any respect is beyond me."

The Imp bit his lips in annoyance, "Look just do your fucking job, get the money those fucks owe us, if not you rip their spines out their ass as a warning not to fuck with us again. They'll regenerate since we're not killing him with blessed shit, but the pain they will fucking remember."

"I know how Sinners regenerate," Dakken said, snatching the list, "I'll get this shit over with."

Dakken stepped outside, with Blitzø simmering.

In a small apartment building, a purple, one eyed demon named Leslie was typing furiously on the computer.

"Losers…f*ggots…r*tards…kill yourselves," he muttered.

He was cut off when his door flew off of its hinges and smashed against the wall. He turned and saw Dakken step inside looking at the list.

"Leslie Nicks?" he asked.

"Y-yes?"

"You owe IMP money," Dakken said, "Either pay up or I beat the shit out of you."

"B-b-but I don't have the money!" Leslie said, looking everywhere, trying to either find a weapon or a means to escape.

"Really? That's unfortunate," Dakken said stepping towards him slowly.

The Oni cracked his knuckles before Leslie shouted.

"THE MONEY'S UNDER THE BED IN A SAFE! I WAS SAVING UP FOR A CHANCE TO GET INTO VALENTINO'S CLUBS!" he shrieked.

"Go get it. Now," Dakken said in a firm tone.

Leslie scrambled to go get it and came back with the safe a few seconds later. He unlocked it and handed Dakken all of the cash. Dakken counted it and took the amount that was owed, giving the rest of it back to Leslie.

"Pleasure doing business with you," he said before making for the exit, "You're gonna want to call for someone to fix that door."

In a hotel room, some giggles were heard that sounded kind of masculine. Two shapes were moving under the covers of a bed.

"Ace…that tickles," Josh said.

"Oh? How about this?" Ace replied.

This resulted in a moan from him.

Before the two could continue their bit of fun, the door to their room was smashed open. Both of them shrieked in shock as Dakken stepped in.

"Josh and Ace," he muttered as he looked at his list, "Says here you two hired IMP to kill someone who called you both f*ggots in the human world."

"W-what?" Ace muttered.

"Th-that was two months ago," Josh added.

"Well, two months is two months too long for you two to repay your debt," Dakken said, "Either pay up or that bed isn't the only thing getting broken."

"W-w-wait!" Ace said, "It was my idea! Please don't hurt Josh!"

"B-babe," Josh muttered with shock before he started tearing up, "No! Take me! Don't hurt Ace!"

"Josh! I won't let you get hurt because of me!"

"I can't let you take all the blame! We promised to stand up for each other when we got together, and I intend to keep it!"

Dakken was listening to this with a complete deadpan expression.

"So…can you pay or not?" he asked the two incubi.

"Wait! We know Verosika Mayday! She's super SUPER rich! She can pay up!" Ace said.

Dakken just stood there staring at the two of them before speaking.

"Who's that?"

"Wait…you don't know Verosika Mayday?" Ace asked.

"She's the number one Pop Star of Hell!" Josh added.

"I don't listen to pop music," Dakken said, "Can she pay now? Otherwise someone's ending up in a body bag."

"I-I'll call her right now!" Ace said, scrambling to get his phone.

Not too long afterwards, Ace and Josh were able to pay as Verosika moved money over to their bank accounts. One trip to an ATM later and Dakken had the money. The two incubi offered some other services but he quickly shot them down. Several more trips later and Dakken, now covered in blood, stepped into the IMP office.

"I'm back," he said, tossing the money, which was in a couple large folders, right in front of Blitzø on his desk.

Blitzø looks over the money before Maximus ends up snatching it. He started counting it himself and nodded his head.

"Good job," he told Dakken.

"I'll be outside if you need me," he said as he walked out of the office.

Blitzø was back to sulking and growling.

"Ugh…fine. He can fucking stay," he said, "But I don't give two titty fucking shits if he's got trust issues. There's only so much shit I'm gonna put up with!"

"Strangely enough, you both have that in common," Maximus said.

Blitzø's phone started ringing before he picked it up.

"WHAT!?" he shouted.

"Hello my big dicked Blitzy~" said Stolas on the other line.

Maximus and Blitzø looked at the phone with disgust.

"WHAT THE FUCK STOLAS!?" Blitzø shouted.

"Language everyone," Stolas said, "I have a special request~"

"Aw... Look, I just had a chemical peel. So, you'll have to find someone else's face to plant that feathered ass," Blitzø said, making Maximus fight the urge to fry him.

"It's for my daughter," Stolas replied.

"Ah. Well, make sure she washes it," Blitzø said before Maximus had enough.

He snatched the phone before speaking into it.

"Stolas, what do you need?" he asked irritably.

"Oh hello Maximus! Me and my daughter are going to Loo Loo Land, and I was hoping Blitzy and his group could accompany us," Stolas said.

Maximus was about to deny his request but took a moment to think.

This could be an opportunity to see how they operate with the adjustments in place, he thought, I could also have some of my troopers accompany them for some extra assurance.

"We will be there," Maximus said.

"Excuse fucking me!?" Blitzø said, "Since when did I agree to that!?"

"I'll give you five hundred thousand souls if you shut up and deal with it," Maximus said with a sideways glance.

"Oh. Well why didn't you just say so?" Blitzø replied, his attitude taking a complete one eighty.

"Oh thank you so much!" Stolas said, "I really appreciate this Max. Octavia will be so happy to see you!"

"We'll be on our way," Maximus replied before hanging up and giving the phone back to Blitzø.

Said Imp grabbed a megaphone and spoke into it.

"M&M! Saddle up! We're going to Loo Loo Land!"

Moxxie and Millie entered the office.

"Loo Loo Land?" Moxxie asked.

"Loo Loo Land!?" Millie asked excitedly with stars in her eyes.

"Loo Loo Land!" Blitzø shouted into the megaphone once again.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Loona shouted from outside.

Before Maximus could stop this from escalating, Dakken kicked the door open, growling with his fists clenched.

"If I hear one more fucker shout in this office, I'm burning it to the fucking ground," he threatened, his eyes glowing.

"*Sighs* Calm down Dak," Maximus said, "I need you to go with us to help guard my cousin and his daughter."

"...fine," the Oni replied.

This… is going to be the death of me.

AN

Kira192015: Yo! Hello again everyone! Thank you all for your patience as we get this chapter out. Hopefully the next one will be out soon as well.

WingcommanderWhitewolf: Ok AN time, to clarify. The inspiration for Dakken and Saki are more closely alike to Tekkan not, Mortal Kombat. While YES there is fighting and sparring eastern demonic pantheons, might include some west europe demonic pantheons for flavor as well. Please don't assume what will happen based on the past, no matter how potentially accurate.

I will admit though, Kira did surprise me with collecting from Verosika's crew, that was from left field and it leaves me wondering what they have in mind for "Spring Break."

Kira192015: Yeah, I wanted to throw in a curve ball since I've got something special planned for that little crew. Still working out the details on said plan, but it's a plan nonetheless. XD
