Author's Note: I have decided, with much thought and debate, that I won't be adding lemons to this story. I'm sorry to those who wanted to read it, but I'm standing firm on that. But before we start, I'm going to answer a question for ReadingBeta. I didn't mention the superpowers because it's supposed to add a layer of mystery. The powers were very much hinted at and will be expanded upon in the episode Five plot. Now let's begin!

Last time on Xandar's Helluva Adventures, Xandar got a surprise visitor, Loona. After much heartfelt emotions and anger, the two decided to take a one way ticket to bone town. Now, Xandar and Loona are an item and the I.M.P receive a visitor/new client in the form of the mad inventor Loopty Goopty. But that's not all they have to worry about.

Chapter Fifteen: C.H.E.R.U.B Part 1

One Month Later

Xandar's P.O.V:

I was lying on the ground, bleeding heavily. I looked down at my stomach and saw what looked like a shotgun wound. I heard an evil laugh. It sounded oddly feminine. I didn't recognize the voice. As I lie there bleeding Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie were staring at me in fear.

"Shit, shit, SHIT!" Blitzo shouted in horror. "Why Xandar!? Why him!?" He demanded.

"Why else? He ruined everything! He's just a pathetic human!" The voice cackled. She sounded snobbish and cruel.

I heard a howl. I turn to my right and see Loona punching an obscured woman. "You-stupid-BITCH!" Loona roared still punching the person in question. The cackling fills the air. I look at Blitzo and before I realize what I'm doing I say, "Looks like this is it, huh?" I smile and close my eyes.

"Xandar!"

"Xandar no!"

"Brother!"

Xandar...Xandar...Xandar, wake up!

My eyes open and I gasp heavily. I take a few deep breaths and begin to cry shaking. I then feel a hand on my shoulder, caressing it lovingly. I turn my head and see Loona. She was braless and staring at me in concern.

"What's wrong Xandar?" She asks worriedly. "You were writhing and crying. Are you ok?"

I sigh. "I-I'm sorry Loona...I don't know what that was about." I was still shaking. She hugged me tightly and shushed me as lovingly as possible.

"It's ok Xandar. You're ok." She pulls from the hug and gives me a light kiss. "Do you want to talk about it?" She inquires. I nod my head. "Go on," she replies softly.

"I saw myself die. You were there. So was Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie too! They were all looking at me afraid. I was bleeding, it looked like a shotgun wound." I pause and try to remember anything else. "You were punching someone. Though I couldn't see their face." I finished.

Loona looked at me thoughtfully. A bit of her hair fell into her eye and she moved it. "Was there anything else?" She asks after a moment. The cackling. Oh God, the cackling.

"The last thing I heard was other people calling for me. They knew I was dying. But there was this evil laugh. I c-c-can still he-hear it," I cry again. I grab Loona and hug her, sobbing my eyes out.

"It's ok Xandar," Loona said again, comforting me and holding me. "I will never let anything happen to you." She finished confidently. After a few minutes of us holding each other. She sighs. "Would you like some breakfast?" She asked with a smile.

"Yeah," I reply. "Breakfast would be good."

ZZZ

The smell of eggs, toast and bacon filled the air. I was frying the bacon while Loona cooked the eggs. The toast was still in the toaster. I looked at her as she cooked. God, she's beautiful. And to think we've only been dating for a month!

As she cooked the eggs, she had a thoughtful look. I think about asking her what's wrong, but I decide against it. If there is one thing I've learned, it's to tread carefully and only ask questions when necessary. Judging by Loona's concentrated demeanor and cooking a pan of four eggs, she doesn't wand to be bothered. I respect her wish.

"Xandar?" She asks after a few minutes. "Could you grab a few plates and forks?" She inquires.

"Yeah. No problem," I reply and walk to the cabinet to grab some plates. As I'm grabbing the items I think back to the dream. The I.M.P and Loona being there made sense...but why did I hear Octavia?

I debate it for a moment but decide to forget about it. It's probably just the oddness of dreams. I can't focus on dreams. I have job to focus on. Wait! What time is it!? I check the clock, it read 9:30 AM. Shit!

"I know it's late," Loona says snapping me back to reality. "But, we need to make you feel better first. Blitzo will understand," she says looking into my eyes. "Besides we need breakfast," she adds. "I love you Xandar." She smiles. I sigh contently, any thoughts of the dream fading.

"I love you too Loona," I reply smiling as well.

Normal P.O.V:

In a place with golden gates that can only be described as heavenly, there is a small town. The town is called "Cherub Town." Out of nowhere, an angel wearing a yellow shirt with red overalls and blue shoes flies in. He also has light pink hair styled into a cowlick.

"Well howdy! I'm Cletus!" The angel introduces himself happily. "Welcome to Heaven! Guess you did something good to get here, and good people deserve to give loved ones special blessings!"

At that moment two other Cherubs appear. The first one was a sheep wearing an all blue suit, with the exception of a silver bowtie. The other is a sheep as well. This one wore an all yellow dress with a pink hem. She also wore a pink bowtie.

They then began to sing. Awww, heavenly, isn't it?

Collin: Does it make you want to cry?

Keenie: When your loved one has to die?

Cletus: Does it hurt you through and through?

All: When your face is turning bluuuue?

Collin: Well, luckily for you!

Keenie: There's something we can do!

Cletus: We can help keep them alive,

All: So you can watch them thrive.

"What's this annoying shit?" Xandar asked with a grimace. While he did like musical numbers, he absolutely despised ones that sounded preachy.

"Target practice!" Blitzo announces pulling out his trusty flintlock pistol. Xandar smirked. It was so much like Blitzo to do something this interesting.

Cletus: So sit right back,

All: And let us bless a sooooul for you! Oh we, are the C.H.E.R.U.B.!

At that moment Blitzo fired his pistol at the TV causing it to explode. Xandar whooped joyously with a fist in the air.

"Nice one, B!" Millie praised. Blitzo smiled genuinely at Xandar, who gave him a thumbs up. Millie smiled at Xandar as well.

As Blitzo continued with his "target practice," Xandar pulled a locket out of his pocket. It was round and silver and had a heart design in the middle. He opened it to reveal a smiling woman with raven hair and glasses. Xandar felt a tear fall down his face and he sobbed lightly.

"Hold on a sec," Blitzo said turning his attention from the TV to Xandar. "What's uh...what's wrong buddy?" He asked Xandar who hid the locket. "What do ya got there?" He asked intrigued.

"It's uh, nothing." Xandar lied. He felt embarrassed. There was no way in Hell, literally, that he'd tell them about his secret locket.

"Sir?" Moxxie began. "May I ask we refrain from asking Xandar personal questions?"

"Eh, the fuck do you know Mox?" Blitzo replied. Moxxie raised an eyebrow and muttered "of course," under his breath.

"So what is it?" Millie asked interested.

Xandar sighed. "If I tell you, do you promise you won't laugh?" He asked seriously.

"Of course not!" Millie replied happily.

"Well, that depends," Blitzo began, "is it embarrassing or something?" Seeing Xandar's hurt look he added, "I'm just kidding Xandar! Lighten up!"

Xandar sighed and pulled out the locket. Blitzo stared at it in awe, Moxxie was curious and Millie smiled. "That's a pretty locket," she commented. Xandar smiled in response.

"Thank you," he replied. "This locket contains a photo of my mom. She told me that, even if we were ever separated...she'd be with me."

Blitzo had a sad look. Almost nostalgic. "May I see it?" He asked. Xandar read Blitzo's face to see if he was lying. Upon finding sincerity, he handed the locket to Blitzo.

Blitzo opened it and he felt a warm sensation upon seeing the woman. "Is this your mom?" He asked voice barely above a whisper.

"Yes," Xandar replied. "She's a kind woman. I miss her...so much." Blitzo felt a teardrop causing a surprised look from Moxxie and Millie and a shocked gasp from Xandar.

"Are you ok?" Xandar asked Blitzo who quickly wiped away the tear.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Blitzo lied. He handed the locket back to Xandar quickly. "Now, let's get back to target-" he began only to be cut off by a loud rumbling.

Loona, who was asleep in a chair jolted awake. "Guys," she began nervously. "Do you feel that?" She inquired. It was so loud that the building shook.

"Shit," Blitzo began. "Is that a Hell Shake?" He asked worried.

"That's possible?" Moxxie asked skeptically. Xandar raised an eyebrow at this. He lived here for four months and NEVER heard of Hell Shakes.

Millie grabbed Moxxie nervously. "Alright!" She said trying to ease stress. "Don't panic Moxxie!" She demanded.

"I'm not panicking, because Hell Quakes don't happen," Moxxie said making air quotes for emphasis. However, his statement fell on deaf ears as Loona grabbed him and started shaking him.

"Stop getting hysterical fatty!" She yelled before slapping him into the wall. In that moment a ball of wires appeared knocking the wall onto him. The wires unfurled revealing a scientist.

"Do not fear!" The scientist with a cliche evil mustache and top hat announced. Xandar's jaw dropped.

"How and WHY shouldn't we fear?" He inquired in annoyance. The man regarded him. He was about to address him when-

"You could've just used the front door dude," Loona interrupted in frustration. "It doesn't need to be this whole thing."

The man seemed taken aback. "I am eccentric and therefore must do eccentric SHIIIIT!" He explained waving his arms for emphasis.

Blitzo smelled the air and then smelled the men before cringing in disgust. "Ugh, this old fuck REEKS of the living world," he stopped upon seeing Xandar. "No offense."

Xandar chuckled. "None taken," Xandar replied. "I'd actually say the same thing. He has that...stench to him." It smelled like mold and unwashed socks.

"Wait a minute," Blitzo thought aloud. "Did you just die?" He asked seriously.

"Yeees," the man replied. "Moments ago in fact! And that's what bright me heeere!"

Loona rolled her eyes. "Again, the door would've gotten you here fine," she reiterated only for the man to hush her with a finger.

"Shut up dear furry!" He insulted. Loona growled and was about to attack when Xandar grabbed her shoulder. Upon feeling his touch she smiled.

"It's ok," Xandar soothed. "He's just a weird old fuck."

"Yeah," Loona sighed. "Thank you Xandar." Upon hearing the conversation Blitzo cleared his throat. The two hellish love birds turned to him.

"This is not just any old fuck!" Blitzo announced. "This is Poopsie-" he began.

"LOOOPTY," the man seethed.

"Right! Right, Loopty Goopty!" Blitzo introduced nervously. "And has he got a job for us!" He added cheerfully.
