Episode 28: Seeing Stars
Stolas (narration): In the great expanse of the nether there exists boundless amounts of magnificent phenomenon the great brilliance of an exploding star, the nimble dance of space dust through a nebula but once every one thousand years our corner of reality is treated to an incredible sight from the deep eldritch recesses of the cosmos the tears of a forgotten colossus begin to fall. Tears made of the hopes and dreams of every living thing that never came to be. Condensed and sent shooting across the night sky in a dazzling final display. What appears to mortal beings as a meteor shower we can see for what it is: Azathoth's Tears.
Stolas has used his magic to open the portal to the outskirts of space to display with the grimoire as he has little Octavia sitting on his lap. He closes the portal as Little Octavia giggles in reply.
She then asks with a smile on her face, "Daddy, can we go see it someday?"
"Yes, dear," Stolas answers.
He then tucks her into bed as he says, "I promise, when the day comes nothing will be able to keep me from being there with you." And taps her on her little beak, "Good night my Owlette."
Little Octavia yawns and says, "Good night!"
Little Octavia tries to sleep, but she turns, wiggles, and giggles in bed for excitement for when the Azathoth's Tears to someday come.
Present Day:
Octavia is looking very happy. She gets out of bed and circles a date on the calendar. It shows her and Stolas' face, and a meteor show. Octavia is excited because the Azathoth's Tears are happening today. Octavia fully gets dressed and hop down the hall pulling her boot.
She rushes into the kitchen and calls out, "Hey, dad!"
She soon notices that her father isn't in the kitchen. Empty, except for a few boxes.
He then leans back out of the kitchen and calls out, "Dad?"
Soon, she walks down the hall trying to find him as she calls out, "Dad?"
She soon notices the foyer door is open, and soon hears her father's voice, "Yes, I know!"
Outside of the mansion, Stolas is out front on the phone with Stella, squeezing a servant in his other hand. At the same time, the Imps are loading various items in a van.
Stolas continues to talk on the phone, "It will be there shortly. Of course they're being careful!"
Octavia walks out and asks, "Dad, what's going on?"
Stolas turns around and says, "Apparently your mother can't exist somewhere for two minutes without the entirety of her possessions-"
And soon, Stella's voice can be heard screaming on the other end.
Stolas answers, "What? No! I'm not turning her against you- YES, Stella!
Through the phone, Stella screams, "-never have to see your fucking face again!"
Octavia tries to get her dad's attention "Dad?"
Stolas however, is too occupied by Stella's screaming, "Everyone…" and continues to yell over the phone.
Octavia then asks, "This is going to be done before tonight, right?
"What?" Stolas replies.
Then turns to Octavia, "Oh. I hardly think so, knowing your mother this will take all weekend."
Stolas then turns to the Imps loading the stuff, "Don't be gentle about it now! Break whatever you have to to get it all in there."
Stella screams over the phone, "What!? What did you just tell them to do?!"
"But tonight was supposed to-" Octavia tries to speak up.
However, Stolas says, "Darling, can we not talk about this now? Your mother's being a real B-I-T-C-H."
Over the phone, Stella screams, "What the fuck do you mean?!" and continues screaming.
And it appears that someone is laughing over the phone.
"Well, how was I supposed to know you can spell?! I've never seen you read!" Stolas angrily yells.
Stella continues screaming over the phone, "I'm going to take everything! Everything you own!"
Frustrated that Stolas forgot about tonight, Octavia storms into her room, slams the door, and begins yelling as she angrily topples her telescope, rips up the calendar page and throws it to the ground. After breathing after the outburst, Octavia grabs her backpack and leaves the mansion on her own.
Meanwhile, at the I.M.P office, things are kind of going crazy. Not much is new though. However, today, Loona is very furious, and is throwing daggers and sharp objects at Blitz as he ducks his head. Moxxie, Amara, and Roy are sitting on the couch and watching. The reason why is because today, Blitz has a talk with Loona. Which is why the calendar says 'Have the Talk, underlined and circled.
"Loona, honey, wait just a-" Blitz nervously says, and soon panics, "shit!"
Blitz runs backwards as Loona charges at him with a groin in her arms.
"Loonie, please, can we talk-" Blitz says, but Loona throws the groin at him, giving Blitz a black eye
"FUCK!" Blitz screams in pain,
But then says, "Uh, I mean, wow! Good throw, honey I-I'm so proud of youuuuu!"
Then Loona tackles him and they roll to the wall, missing Millie. Millie walks past them as Loona grabs the nearest picture frame and starts smacking Blitz with it. Then Millie walks past them to Moxxie. Moxxie pours Millie some coffee and passes to her. Loona takes the coffee cup from Moxxie and uses it as a weapon. Then Millie sits on her husband's lap. And the four simply sit and watch Loona beating Blitz into a pulp. Then Moxxie and Amara drink their coffee.
"What's this all about, honey?" Millie asks.
Moxxie sighs after having his coffee and answers, "Oh. Blitz finally, talk to her about her attitude with clients."
"And Loona didn't take it so well," Amara adds.
Blitz quickly runs a short distance before pulling the couch in front of him to keep his distance from Loona's wrath who is still growing in anger.
"I just think some small tweets might help you be more of a uh, people person, you know?" Blitz nervously says as Loona snarls and steps forward.
Loona angrily says, "I am a people person!"
"Not with that attitude," Amara and Roy say in thought.
She then grabs Blitz by the collar and pulls him up to her face, "If I'm so terrible, how about grow a pair and replace me!"
Just then, Blitz says, "Okay, well, maybe I- Maybe I might."
"What?" Loona questions.
Blitz turns to Moxxie who gives him a thumbs up.
Then Blitz continues in a serious tone of discipline, "Maybe I will, little missy! Yeah, that's right it's tough love time. So, now can... go... to your desk!"
Loona grows agitated and aggressively drops Blitz to the ground as she snarls and walks to the desk.
"Boy, I never seen Loona this mad before," Roy says.
"No kidding," Amara replies.
She sighs and says, "I like Loona and all, but I think her attitude could use some work."
Unknown to the group, the door to the office opens and Octavia is standing in front of the entryway. She then rolls on the floor and kneels down as her hair is used as a face mask to get into the office unseen.
Not seeing Octavia, Moxxie and Amara help Blitz sit on the chair.
Then Moxxie messages Blitz's shoulders and says, "Sir, if I may say so; you're doing the right thing. If we can't even hire a cheerful qualified receptionist, how can people trust us to massacre and mutilate their enemies for them? It's good for business."
While the others aren't looking, Octavia sneaks behind a potted cactus plant. Then crawls behind the printer. And then has her back against the wall close to a picture frame. She then notices Loona looking at her, and vice versa. However, Loona simply ignores Octavia, giving her time to rush past from behind and into Blitz's office before anyone else can notice. However, when Roy turns his head, he notices Octavia sneaking towards the office.
Roy whispers, "Amara, look."
Amara turns to where Roy is looking to see Octavia entering the office.
"Huh?" Amara says, confused.
Once in Blitz's office, Octavia removes her hair from her face, and soon searches through Blitz's desk for something. She stops and turns her head around to see a safe, and sees the large portrait of the I.M.P Crew. Octavia moves it to see a safe behind it, and a sign that reads "Blitz's stuf Do nut steel!" Reluctantly, Octavia presses the numbers on the paper, and the safe opens, revealing her dad's grimoire. She then takes the book out, opens the book, and turns it to a specific page. She looks at the page with a sad and depressed expression on her face.
She shakes it off and about to say her destination, but soon hears someone enter the room.
To her shock, she's afraid that she might have been caught. But to her relief, the ones who enter the office are Amara and Roy.
"Octavia?" Amara says, confused.
"Oh uh, Amara. Roy. How are you doing?" Octavia replies, a little nervous.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were planning to see the meteor shower with dad tonight," Amara asks.
Octavia sighs, "Dad broke his promise to go and is busy screaming at mom. Since he won't take me to see the stars, I've decided to go on my own," and looks very sad.
Seeing the sadness, Amara can see that the promise is very important to her. Amara and Roy turn to each other. They both smile and nod their heads.
Roy happily says, "You don't have to go alone, Amara and I can come with you."
"Really?" Octavia asks, a little surprised.
"Yeah. We can make this a sibling day. You, me, and Roy," Amara says.
"What about work?" Octavia asks.
"It's a bit slow today, so we're not that busy. Will you let us come?" Amara says.
"Please," Roy says.
Octavia thinks for a minute and smiles, "Yeah. I think it will be nice to spend time with you guys. I think you'll love what you'll be able to see."
"Okay," Amara says.
"Alright," Roy happily says.
She then uses her magic to levitate her and Roy's backpacks. Then they put them on. Then the two walk to Octavia.
Octavia looks at the book and says, "Take us to see the stars."
And then, the book activates, and purple pentagram swirls around her and black swirls of power streams towards the ceiling, and Octavia's eyes glow. Soon, the light catches Moxxie's attention.
Moxxie notifies Blitz, "Um, sir."
Blitz sits up as the cucumbers that's been over his eyes falls off to see the glow.
"The fuck?" Blitz says, surprised.
Blitz, Moxxie, and Millie rush to the door, but end up getting stuck. They struggle until they pop out and fall to the ground. Millie breaks her mug and uses the sharp end as a weapon. To their shock, they see Octavia, Amara, and Roy walking through the portal together. Before they can process it, the three walk through the portal and close upon entry, leaving the dumbfounded Imps in the office.
Blitz angrily raises his voice. "LOONA!"
Then Loona says, "Oh yeah, you have a visitor."
Amara is the first to open her eyes. Then Roy opens his eyes. They both sit up and feel the pain from the drop.
"My fuckin head," Amara says, rubbing the back of her head.
She turns to see Octavia blinks her eyes open as she asks, "Where are we?"
Octavia fully opened her eyes to see a blank Hollywood star. Then suddenly, someone vomits on it. Octavia slides backwards and yelps in fright. Then notices a dead body with an eye coming out. She bumps into Amara who is sitting on the body. They suspect he must have been killed when they fell on him. The girls, and Roy look up to see the portal close behind them. Octavia quickly grabs the grimoire as she stands and moves back.
She then bumps into someone, "Woah!"
The one who she bumps into is a clown who turns round and angrily says, "This is my territory bitch, take your shitty costume and get the fuck off my corner!" and pushes Ocavia, and almost gets hit by a car.
Amara angrily says, "Hey you fuckin jerk! You can't just push my sister like that! You almost got her runover!"
"Who asked you, you dirty little bitch!" The clown angrily says.
Amara then punches the guy in the face and knocks him out.
Amara picks up Roy and takes Octavia's hand and they run across the street. The cars swerve and come to a stop, trying not to hit them as they run across the street and to the sidewalk. On the other side of the street, Amara, Roy, and Octavia, run into a protest mob. They're holding signs that say, "demons walk among us", "God hates you personally", and "- To Hell".
They quickly dodge and then run into a gleaming gold statue of a man smiling on them. Then Octavia falls to the ground. She turns to see two ladies looking at her in shock. Frightened, Octavia quickly grabs the grimoire and scrambles into an alleyway. She sits with her knees close to her chest breathing heavily like a panic attack. Amara quickly knees Octavia and tries to comfort her. Roy also tries to help, but Octavia is still in a panic.
Meanwhile, Blitz is having a panic attack himself, "Shit, shit, shit, shit," He then grabs Moxxie, "What the fuck am I supposed to tell Stolas?!"
"Well, he seems to like you sir. Maybe he would understand if -" Moxxie answers.
But Blitz shoves him away, "Okay, my dick is good, but it is not that good, Moxxie."
Then Moxxie says, "Sir, I don't think we really have a choice."
"So, what, you just want me to call him up and be like, 'Hey Stolas' -" Blitz says, still in a panic.
And moments after, Blitz is actually talking on the phon with Stolas, "So your daughter came by, took your book, your other daughter and her little Imp brother decide to tag along, and teleported off to 'who the fuck knows where', and we have no way of getting them back, okay?! Okay! Good talk, bye-e-e-e." and then quickly hangs up the phone with a worried look on his face. And then stepping back a bit.
He turns to Moxxie and says, "Oh, that actually went better than I thought."
Just then, the doors blow up and Stolas stands inside in his full demon form and bellows in a demonic tone, "BLITZ!"
It's clear that he isn't taking this very well.
Back on Earth, Amara, Octavia and Roy are walking down the sidewalk.
"Are you feeling better, Octavia?" Amara says.
"Yeah. I'm better now," Octavia says.
"We're glad that you're okay," Roy says.
"So I'm guessing that you have never been to Earth before," Amara says.
"No. Never been," Octavia says.
Then Octavia tries to ask the people on the street, "Hey, do y- Can you help - h-how do we get ah - I - excuse me, I just need to know where we can…" she sighs, "see the stars."
However, everyone is ignoring her. She groans and rubs her eye, and pulls her beanie down.
Then Octavia asks, "So where exactly are we? I asked the book to take us to see the stars, and this is where we ended up."
"If I have a guess, I say we landed in Hollywood, Los Angeles. I'm guessing when you say 'see the stars' it must have thought you meant movie stars…" Amara begins to explain.
Unknown to Amara, a pamphlet is thrown into Octavia's face, saying 'Bus tours.' Octavia looks on the back and inside the center to see the panel 'Star * Struck Tourz" and in the bottom left hand corner "Stalk your fave celeb!"
Octavia crumbles the map close to a hug, "Yes!"
Then she makes her way to the bus to hop a seat on the Starstruck tourz bus.
"So I'm guessing we should get back before…" Amara says.
But notices Octavia running off, "Octavia?"
Then notices Octavia running to the bus.
"Where's she going?" Roy asks.
"I don't know, but we better follow her," Amara says.
And with that, Amara and Roy quickly follow Octavia to the bus.
Back in the I.M.P office, Stolas is pacing in front of Moxxie Millie, and Blitz.
Stolas is practically in a panic, "How could this happen?! Do you just let anyone waltz into your office and grab infinitely powerful artifacts?!" Then clutches his hat looking very worried, "Why would she do this? How are we supposed to find them? Where would they go?"
Loona sniffs the air and says, "Well, it reeks of urine and desperation so…" Then sniffs the area again and responds, "ugh... L.A."
Everyone suddenly looks at Loona in surprise.
Loona questions, "What?"
Soon after, the portal opens to their destination, Loona is being shoved through the portal as the rest of I.M.P and Stolas walk through.
"Alright, Loona, let's make this quick, in and out before anyone notices us here," Blitz says.
Soon notices the gunfire sounds and screaming, and Blitz looks around the alleyway that they've portaled too.
"Oh. This doesn't look much different from Hell," Blitz replies.
He brushes off his front and says, "Alright, now let's get to work, Loonie: sniff." And walks forward.
"How am I supposed to smell anything in this city?" Loona asks, and takes an old can from her hair.
"Can't you even do one thing right?" Moxxie questions in frustration.
"Can't you do anything about how fat you are?" Loona questions with a smirk on her face.
"I'm not -" Moxxie says, insulted.
But Blitz says, "You know, it wouldn't kill you to put a salad in your body every now and then."
"What?" Moxxie questions, and says feeling insulted, "But I'm not fat!"
Blitz climbs on the dumpster and tapes a picture on the lid.
"Now, first things first we're gonna do this the old-fashioned way" Blitz says, and points to the drawing. "We're gonna need disguises."
Loona and Stolas soon open their eyes as they glow, and transform into their human disguises. Millie claps her hands together happily. Moxxie is unimpressed. Blitzo looks stunned, especially since this is the first time he sees Stolas in his human disguise.
In his human disguise, Stolas is still very tall and thin, with gray hair and red eyes His clothing in this form looks expensive and outdated: a gray long puffy sleeve shirt with a dark red vest, black pants and black boots.
Remaining calm, Blitz asks, "No chance you can conjure us a couple of those, can ya?"
"Sadly no," Stolas answers, "I'm afraid without my grimoire, my powers are just a tad limited in the human world.
"What, you can't memorize your fucking spells?" Blitz questions
Stolas angrily says, "Oh, your memory's so great? And gesture to Moxxie, "What's his phone number?
However, Blitz is unable to answer the question.
"Fuck you," Blitz says, making Stolas smirks.
"Exactly," Stolas says and walks away.
Blitz then pinches the bridge between his eyes, and hops off the trash can.
Soon, everyone walks out of the alley to begin their search. Stolas yoinks a pair of sunglasses with red lenses, and places it on his head where his second pair of eyes would normally form. Then suddenly, Moxxie runs face first into a human, who looks like a rapper.
The man says, "Hey, little man, how about you check out," and pulls out a C.D from his jacket, "this demo right here? This is some premium Grade-A fire right here! Perfect for you to crank with the little lady," He then grabs Millie and pulls her close, and obviously has a displeased expression.
"Oh wow, you made this? Thank you," Moxxie says.
Soon, he and Millie walk away, but the dude follows him.
He gets in front of them and says, "Oh, hey, hey, hey, hold up a sec, you just gonna grab it and go?"
"He said, 'thank you'." Millie angrily says.
Then the Music dude puts his hand in her face, "20 bucks, man."
Moxxie grabs Millie and cries out, "Millie, we need money to pay this talented artist!"
Millie watches as the rest of their group walks past the corner without them.
"You can just give it back, Mox," Millie says.
However, Moxxie gasps and grabs the sides of his face, jumping behind the tree, crouching and holding the CD Close to him.
He holds it and says, "Millie! These artists put their heart and soul into their work! I can't just give it back like it's worthless!"
He then notices a squirrel reaching for it and hisses and swipes at it to scar it away.
"it probably is," Millie replies.
Then a woman walks past and flips a coin to Moxxie, "Sick demon costume man!"
Moxxie stares at the coin.
The woman says, "It's metal as FUCK!"
Moxxie stands up, flips the coin, "I have an ide-" Then he drops it and chases it, "oh woah, hey hey hey hey, come back here!"
He then grabs it and flips it again, "I have an idea!"
Then hold the coin in the air.
Meanwhile, Amara, Roy and Octavia are on the bus. Octavia looks up in boredom.
Amara sighs, "All the places we ended up, we had to be at a celebrity tour."
"And no closer to seeing the meteor shower," Octavia says.
"How did we end up here?" Roy asks.
"As I was trying to explain, and in short. When Octavia casted the spell, it thought she meant movie stars, not shooting stars," Amara says.
"That explains it," Octavia says.
Just then, the tour guy says, "And to your left you'll see the home of one of those influencers who thinks they're hot shit cause now they do TV shows."
The three turn to see a woman and a small child hop into the limo, while a man lays prostrated on the ground crying and begging. The limo soon drives away, leaving the man there. He then stands up and begins kissing another man standing by wearing a bathrobe.
Octavia groans and turns away, pulling her beanie down over her eyes. Roy and Amara practically gag in reply. Octavia notices the two gagging as they stick their tongues out and point their fingers in response. Octavia snickers in response.
Meanwhile, at a store called the 'Little Costume Shop of Horrors'. A torso animatronic with an eye falling out cackles. The only thing he can't cover is his skin, spikes, and tail.
Blitz gestures to himself, "So?"
Suddenly, a woman screams with excitement and shouts, "Look everyone it's Hollywood star Brennon Ragers!"
"The fuck is a Brendon Rager -" Blitz questons confused, and looks up, "Oh."
To Blitz's shock, he sees a poster that has the words 'Sweetie! I'm In the House! Guest Starring Brennon Ragers.' The man on the poster is the same one that Octavia and Amara accidentally killed upon landing. And with the costume, Blitz looks a lot like him.
Stolas looks up at the poster, "Oh dear."
In a matter of seconds, a crowd immediately mobs Blitz, trying to take pictures and begging for things like selfies, autographs, and pictures.
Blitz tries to escape as he shouts, "Millie, where are you, and your whore bag husband?!"
Meanwhile, Millie and Moxxie are signing. Couples stand together looking in love. Music Dude who gave Moxxie the $20 CD looks miffed. In fact, a lot are admiring the duo's singing.
Moxxie and Millie:
You're my lovely little monster
Even a dinosaur dressed man takes off the mask and begins to shed tears of joy.
Moxxie and Millie:
And I'll never say goodbye.
Moxxie climbs up the tree and gently pulls Millie up.
Moxxie and Millie:
I will kill for you
Until the day we die.
The crowd cheers and throws roses and money while Moxxie bows. Then Moxxie points the money he has earned to Millie. She's less than impressed.
Then Moxxie gives the money to the music dude, "And here you are, my fellow Troubadour."
"Whatever man, get the fuck outta here, you're cramping my business," The music dude say, and walks away.
"Come on babe! We have to catch up to Blitz before -" Millie says and turns, but she rams her face first into a poster.
And an Art salesman says, "Ayyy, Wanna buy some art?"
Moxxie grows excited again, "Wha? YES!"
Moxxie becomes excited to see the different art, keychains, and other stuff. Millie facepalms at Moxxie's response.
But back to Blitz's situation, the crowd has grown since the incident started. Soon, the piling crowd surrounds Blitz and practically picks him up.
Blitz screams, "I'm taking this out of their pay!"
Just then, a black truck drives by and comes to a stop. Then a group of agents jump out to break the commission. A man then blows a whistle and holds a diploma in his hand. Finally, they let Blitz go and he drops to the floor.
Blitz looks up to see a man with a light blonde ponytail, wearing a black shirt, beige pants, a yellow vest, black shoes, and glasses. Turns out, the man is the producer.
The producer approaches, thinking Blitz is Ragers too, "Mr. Ragers, we've been looking everywhere for you. You were supposed to be on set an hour ago!"
And two agents walk up and pick Blitz up by his arms.
"The fuck are you talking about?" Blitz questions.
"Your guest spot on…" The producer says, and eats a fruit snake, "'Sweetie! I'm in the House!' We're taping tonight, now hurry up and get in the car!"
"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not going anywhere with you, jizz-biscuit!" Blitz refuses and flips him off.
"Very funny, Mr. Ragers. Now get in the car," The producer says.
Then tries to lure him with a fruit snack, "Come on boy, come on."
Blitz then angrily rips his arms away from the agents, "Get your fucking hands off me!" but is soon caught again and is picked up in the air.
Blit screams, "Loona! Stolas! A little help here?!"
Soon, the fake ears Blitz is wearing has fallen, as a man who drops his baby catches the ear. This leads the crowd to have an altercation, fighting over the ear.
Stolas tries to push through the crowd and calls out, "E-excuse me, sir. I'm... Mr. Ragers' agent, and I don't believe you can just-"
But an agent walks behind Stolas, cracks his neck, and grabs him from behind.
"Oh! You are strong!" Stolas comments.
Soon, Blitz and Stolas are thrown into the back of the car. Blitz growls his way back out, but the doors close before he can escape.
"Blitz, we don't have time for this. The kids could be anywhere. They could be in danger," Stolas says in deep concern.
Seeing Stolas' worry, Blitz says, "Don't worry, I'm on it."
Then Blitz breaks the windows with his horns and spots Loona punching his way through the crowd.
Blitz calls out, "Loonie, go find Via, Cowgirl, and the squirt! We'll catch up soon!
Loona flips him off angrily.
"Yeah! Way to be a team player, sweetie!" Blitz says, giving Loona a thumbs up.
Then sits down and says to Stolas "They're in great hands."
Back at the tour bus, it comes to a stop and Amara, Roy, and Octavia walk out of the bus. Annoyed, Octavia rips the pamphlet in half.
"I take it you don't like the tour," Amara says.
"Not at all," Octavia says.
Amara then picks up Roy and places him on her shoulders.
"Come on, let's go," Amara says.
Soon, the two owl girls and little Imp walk down the sidewalk, not noticing a crime scene, walking above a corpse.
"So what do we do now? And please, no more tours," Octavia asks.
Soon, the girls stop to see a sign titled "Star Owl: Souvenir Shop." The girls and Roy are amazed by it.
"Wow. that is so cool," Amara says.
"I know," Octavia says, and takes out her phone, and asks, "Wanna take a selfie."
"Sure," Amara and Roy answer.
Soon, the three take a picture and Octavia types on her phone. They soon walk down and slowly stop to see the shop. Octavia is even more amazed to see what's inside.
Amara turns to Octavia, "Wanna go inside?"
"Sure," Octavia says.
Soon, the three walk into the store.
Sometime later, at the Starstruck Studios, the agents are carrying the resisting Blitz, doing everything in his power to try and escape, but to no avail, and is dragged in by the back collar of the shirt he's wearing. And the paparazzi are around him.
Soon, Blitz is thrown on to a chair in the makeup room, and soon, the workers are putting his makeup on.
The producer walks over and says, "Let's get him ready! He's on in five!"
"What? 'Five' what? I-I can't be on a sitcom!" Blitz quickly sits up.
Blit is then smacked in the face with a powder pad for makeup.
Soon, Blitz is backstage with Stolas, holding the water bottles.
The producer walks in and says to everyone in the room, "Should've had an ego crisis before signing the contract."
"I-I-I, whoa, I don't even know the fucking lines, idiot!" Blitz angrily says.
"Well, that's why God invented teleprompters!" The producer says.
They soon see an actress smoking a cigarette, a child actress sniffing cocaine, and a guy on a teleprompter that says, 'GOD KILL ME PLS', before breaking down and electrocuting the guy on top of it.
"Shouldn't he rehearse, or something?" Blitz questions.
"No can do, we're live in 10, 9-" The producer says and walks away as he counts down the stage.
Blitz soon begins to hyperventilate, "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, I-I... I can't do this. No, not again. I-I haven't performed since-"
But Stolas says, and approaches Blitz, "Blitzo, if your performance on stage is half as good as it is in bed…" He then leans close to him, "You'll leave them breathless." and strokes Blitz's face.
Blitz nervously gulps to the sound of that.
Then Stolas begins to push Blitz, "Now, hurry up and wow them, so we can get back to finding the kids." And pushes Blitz onto the set where the lights haven't turned on.
Stolas happily calls out, ""Break a leg, darling!" And quickly closes the door.
Soon the lights go on faster before Blitz can respond, and looks towards the studio audience.
The producer shouts, "Action!"
Blitz soon finds himself in front of a live audience who is observing him, and he's looking very petrified.
Soon, a Male actor says, "Well, if it isn't our neighbor, Ronnie. You feel that earthquake earlier?"
Blitz looks towards the stage crew looking as distressed as he is.
Stolas whispers towards him, "Say something…"
The teleprompter turns on and appears with the lines Blitz is supposed to say.
Still petrified, Blitz tries to say his lines, "Oh, yea? Yeah. 'That was just my wife rolling out of bed.'"
Stolas turns to the audience nervously, who are unresponsive at first, but soon laughing instantly. Blitz then smiles at their reaction, but doesn't notice the sign indicating the people to laugh with a bit of static.
And Blitz continues, and sounding more enthusiastically, Yeah, yeah! Yeah, and then that bitch hit her head on the way down and shattered her skull!"
The sign continues to read 'Laugh,' but no one is laughing, except for Stolas, who finds it humorous.
Blitz continues, "There's blood everywhere... pee in her pants…"
Stolas continues laughing in hoots, and the audience begins laughing seeing the 'srsly, laugh anyway. Soon, Blitz is less nervous and winds up at Stolas, causing the prince to blush immensely and chugs a bottle of water down.
Meanwhile, Loona is sipping coffee as she turns on her phone and go an app called, Sinstagram.
Song:
Don't wanna do what my daddy told me to
On the edge, tryna to see a brand new view
Soon, Loona stops to see the same 'Star Owl Souvenir Shop' Roy and the girls have seen earlier.
Song:
Whoa, and I like that
Loona then takes a selfie and uploads the picture to her account.
Song:
Sick and tired of just wasting all my time
You know what? Think I'll go commit a crime
Loona then begins to look at the updated photos, but then spits her coffee to see a selfie photo of Octavia with Amara and Roy on her account. Mainly because she unexpectedly finds a trail of their previous whereabouts.
Song:
Whoa, and I like it, yeah, yeah, yeah
Loona quickly goes to Octavia's account and sees another selfie photo of them of a building. And it reads Gothchk17' 3 Likes. Found cool looking castle, it reminds me of home…"
Song:
Oh no, whoa, whoa, and I like it
Loona looks at the photo again, and actually remembers where she has seen it. She turns to see the building from Octavia's picture, which proves that the three have been here.
Song:
Wanna see the sights
Be a troublemaker
Loona begins to think about what Blitz needs her to do, and knows that the three are out there. She clenches her coffee and tosses it to the ground to begin the search.
Song:
Turn out the lights, get in a fight
Live on long, I'm not a faker
Loona soon begins her search and starts at the building. She then looked at her phone and went to the other location from the photo. A round ball that reads 'Starstruck' on it. However, she sees that they aren't here.
Song:
I'm a product of a broken home
I know that I can't make it on my own
Loona then stops at the next location, and notices three kids wearing the clothes they're wearing. When Loona rushed over to them, it turned out to be three different kids who looked like them from behind.
Song:
My story, I will write it
Going off the radar and I like it
Loona continues to look through Octavia's Sinstagram and searches at all the locations the three have been today. Time has passed, and Loona arrives at the latest spot in the latest photo, the observatory. She then begins to approach the building and really hopes they'll be there.
Back at the studio, the live broadcast continues. The audience seems either bored or mentally scared. Stolas is also looking troubled.
Blitz continues with his acting, "Oh, Uggie! You've gone and done it again."
Soon, it reveals that the little pug dog, Ruggie, seems to have urinated on the set's couch.
Blitz says, enthusiastically, "That's the fifth couch this year!"
The audience continues laughing due to the screen advising it, but it shows that many of them are struggling to do so. One of them is laughing out of insanity, and then passes out while foaming at the mouth.
"You know, maybe it's about time I found," BLitz says and boops Uggie, a small pug, on the nose, "you a new home, one that could put up with your attitude."
Soon, Blitz takes out the leash as the other actors appear on the set.
Just then, the child actor comes forward and says, "I could take him, Mr. Ronnie! I'd be happy to adopt old Uggie and give him the attention he needs!"
And soon the family comes together, the spotlight centers only them, and cute animals surrounding them. The audience responds "Awww."
Suddenly something comes over Blitz and looks at the little dog and the leash he is holding that is attached to the dog's collar.
"Yeah... yeah, m-maybe, you should adopt…" Blitz says, and sounds uneasy about it.
Looking at little Uggie the dog, Blitz suddenly remembers something from his past a few years ago.
Years Ago:
Blitz is looking at some cell that is full of small and young Hellhounds, one of them has a resemblance to Uggie.
"Aww, they're all so cute. And they're... " Blitz happily says, but then sounds depressed, "Sad."
Truth be told, Blitz is at the Hellhound adoption center to adopt Hellhound. He is with the Adoption Center Manager.
The manager says in a deadpan expression, "Maybe you could adopt this one here. Quite a strong lad, he'll be perfect for whatever work you want to use him for."
Blitz and the Manager walks to the next hall to see the next Hellhound to recommend. However, Blitz is disgusted by the Hellhound's face.
Blitz steps back and says, "Ugh! No, I'm not looking for no ugly wonker, heh. I need something that's more family-friendly,"
Still deadpan, the manager says, "A gift for the wife, huh? No problem. We have a nice selection for other hounds."
The two continue to walk down the hall, but Blitz stops for a moment at the cell in front of him.
He points his finger and asks, "Who's that?"
Inside the cell is actually Loona at a younger age and is texting her phone. She is in a cell with another young vicious Hellhound, holding a bat full of bloody nails. He appears to want Loona's phone, but she growls at him angrily.
"Oh, her? That's just Loona. What a nightmare. Serious attitude problems." The manager says.
The younger hound is soon thrown against the cell bars. Loona pants furiously and crawls back in her space. Soon, Blitz begins to observe Loona, and how her anger slowly turns into sadness.
Not listening to the manager saying, "She'll be out of our hair next month when she ages out. Good riddance, if you ask me. She'll never amount to anything much.
Loona continues to scoot back on her bench, holding herself as she begins to shed tears. Blitz's mind flashes between a sad Loona, and a sympathetic Blitzo.
Current:
Remembering the day he has adopted Loona, Blitz becomes emotional, "No. No, no, no, you can't have her! She's mine, and I love her!" As he takes the little pug in his arms for a hug, refusing to let go.
Soon the sign that says 'Laugh' changes to 'Awww?' and the audience replies. Stolas however, looks confused.
The child actor says, But, Mr. Ronnie, you gotta let me have the puppy. You just gotta!" and tries to reach for the pup.
Blitz hisses her, preventing her from touching Uggie.
Then angrily screams, "Don't you touch her, you little anal fissure!"
The child actor steps away from the scene as the audience laughs, which made Blitz offended.
Blitz angrily shouts, "Oh, you think this is funny, assholes?!"
Blitz points to the child actor who's trying to walk away from his outburst and shouts, "She's not fit to be a mother! I saw her doing lines of coke in her dressing room!"
Seeing Blitz is breaking out of character, the producer signals the agents to try and deal with him.
Even the grown female character tries to calm him down, "Now, uh... Ronnie. I think maybe you should-" and tries to take Uggie from Blitz.
But Blitz refuses, and smacks her off of him, and her wig falls off her head as well, revealing a bald head under it.
Blitz continues to cry out, "No! You can't have my baby, bitch!"
Soon, the agents begin to corner Blitz, so he pulls out his pistol against them. Soon, the signs above exclaims, "Oh, shit!"
Blitz screams on the top of his lungs, "I'LL NEVER GET RID OF HER!"
More people including security begin to pile on top of Blitz, so he shoots several of them in the head, but finds himself trapped within the crowd.
Stolas tries to approach Blitz as he calls out, "I'm coming, Bliiiitzo!" He tries to reach him, but is pushed by the crowd, "Excuse me! Would you mind?!"
Stolas tries his best to move through the crowd and rescue Blitz, but he is pushed back. Fed up with this, he grabs his water bottle, and pathetically throws it across the studio, and it hits the producer, but the acid in the water spills all over him. That causes his body to burn his skin severely. He ends up causing him to knock down the teleprompter, which reads 'Let it burn' in red and puts the lights out for a moment. Stolas is able to get up and push back by the crowd and almost falls into the raging fire. Then gets accidently pushed back from the crowd and almost falls into the flames. But then, Blitz is able to catch him by the arm in the nick of time.
Determined, Blitz says, "Now, let's go find our daughters."
Blitzo still has his gun in hand, and his pink shirt is ripped in half. An explosion bursts behind him highlighting his toned figure as Stolas blushes in response once again. Then the two run out of the studio to go find the kids. Still the studio continues to burn and smoke rises coming from the fire.
Meanwhile, at the observatory, Loona is looking around as she looks at her phone to find the spot where the picture was taken. She suddenly comes to a halt at the staircase, seeing Octavia crying as Amara and Roy try to comfort her. Soon, Loona walks over to them as she reverts back to her normal form, alerting the others.
Loona says, "Hey."
The three turn to see Loona.
Octavia wipes her tears and says, "Hey."
"Hi Loona," Roy says.
"Hey kid," Loona says.
Then Amara asks, "Hi Loona. How did you find us?"
"Your sister's Sinstagram," Loona says, holding out her phone.
Then shows the three pictures and says to Octavia, "Nice pics by the way."
"Oh, thanks," Octavia says, and sniffles in sadness.
"You okay?" Loona asks.
Octavia soon begins to explain, "Can't believe I was so stupid. We spent all day looking for a place where I could see some dumb meteor shower." And soon begins to cry, "And all I get is…" and gestures to the smoggy sky, "This!"
Loona, amara, and Roy look at the sky.
"Yeah, smog's a bitch," Loona says.
"Yeah. It sure is," Amara says.
Loona brings out her cigarette and lighter. She tries to light it, but no flames come out. Octavia taps her shoulder to get Loona's attention. She snaps her finger and a small purple fire comes out of it. Then lights up Loona's cigarette. Loona takes a smoke, as some smoke gets into the two owls' faces.
"Nice trick," Amara says.
"Thanks," Octavia says, and still upset.
Loona then sits next to the girls on the ledge and says, "You know, your dad's really worried about you."
Octavia scoffs and says, "Right! That's why you're here instead of him. He couldn't be bothered to keep his promise, and now he can't be bothered to come and get me himself. He'd rather spend his time just screaming at my mum. Why does he hate her more than he loves me?" And sniffles in sadness.
A long silence between the group until Loona extracts her cigarette and exhales.
Loona sighs and says, "Sometimes... sometimes it's not as simple as that. This kind of shit gets messy, and everybody's got issues, especially dads. And sometimes they fuck up - well, all the time. But, that doesn't mean they don't care."
"Loona's right. I know things haven't been easy for us, for all of us especially with everything that's happened. With what's going on with our parents, and me practically being back in your life after so long. But I can tell that dad still cares for us," Amara says.
Octavia asks, "If he cares, where is he?"
"He's somewhere down there," Loona says, pointing to the city.
"He's here?" Octavia asks, a little surprised.
"Really?" Amara asks.
"Looking for three," Loona answers, "I mean…" and smokes her cigarette once more, "try to cut your dad some slack."
Loona continues to light up her liger and a flame finally lights up.
She looks down at it and says, "He may not always get it right, but... he's trying."
And looks at her lighter with a sticker of the I.M.P logo.
Then gives Octavia a smile, "That's more important than you think."
Octavia looks at Octavia in surprise, until she notices a light shining on her face. All of them turn to see the light coming from the moon as the smog clears up. All of them stare at the moon and are amazed by the sight. Loona then turns off her lighter and throws her cigarette away.
Loona stands up to do a few stretches.
Then turns to Octavia and asks, "You ready to go?" and extends her hand to Octavia.
Instead, Octavia gives Loona the grimoire and says, "Yeah."
Loona then gives her a hand once more, and this time, Octavia gives her a hug, which Loona returns the favor. And soon, the two are holding hands.
Somewhere close to the Starstruck Studio building, it continues burning while police cars and fire truck sirens are heard. Distance away from the studio, Blitz and Stolas are running down the street as Blitz looks up a map on his phone, and writes the location 'Not Topic'
"Now, if we could just find where…" Blitz says, and prepares to turn to cross the street.
But a red portal appears in the opposite direction, catching their attention.
Loona walks out of the portal first, much to Blitz's relief, "Loona!"
With her hand still in the portal, Loona walks out with Octavia close behind. Amara and Roy walk out of the portal as well.
Blitz is very relieved and rushes to Loona, "Oh, Loona, my sweet baby girl! I'm so sorry, I'll never replace you no matter what you-" but cut off when Loona furiously kicks him in the groin, causing him to wince in pain as he falls to the ground.
"You're good," Loona says.
Stolas painfully looks at Blitz, until he notices Octavia, Amara, and Roy.
Octavia has her head slightly lowered as Amara and Roy give her a smile of support.
She then says, "Dad... I'm so sorry."
Stolas runs up and hugs them as he reverts back to his demon form in relief, "I'm just relieved you all are okay!"
Then turns to Octavia, "But, what would possess you to do such a thing, Via? You know I haven't taught you spells like this yet."
"I just wanted to see the stars you promised," Octavia answers.
"The stars?" Stolas questions.
But soon gasps in realization, "Azathoth's tears! Oh, no. Oh, my dear sweet Via. I am so-"
But then Octavia hugs him and says, "I know, dad. It's okay, you're here now."
Stolas then returns the hug to Octavia. Amara and Roy watch with a smile to see the two are able to work things out. Loona watches happily as well, until she notices Blitz has gotten up and tries to hug her, and responds by smacking him with the book with a smug face.
Suddenly, she notices a faint glow in the sky. Everyone looks up to see several fireworks exploding in the sky.
Loona records this on her phone and asks, "What the fuck is that?"
"My acting career," Blitz answers.
The fireworks take off, Stoles, Octavia, Amara, and Roy watch in awe.
Octavia gasps happily, "Look at that one! Did you see that one?"
"It's so amazing! Fireworks!" Roy happily says.
"Yeah," Amara says.
Amara then turns to Blitz and asks, "Hey Blitz, where are Moxxie and Millie? I figure they would be with you.
"Who the fuck knowns," Blitz answers.
To where Moxxie and Millie are, Millie is on the phone texting Blitz in the alley, and she's standing in front of the portal that leads to the office. Soon, the portal to the I.M.P office opens giving them access back to Hell. And it's revealed that Moxxie is carrying a full bag of art paraphernalia.
Moxxie struggles to pull it as he says, "Art is heavy!"
Millie soon enters the portal. But before Moxxie can enter the portal, he is stopped by another music man, wanting to sell him a CD. Moxxie approaches to pay him for the demon. However, Millie has enough and throws a knife, killing the salesman before Moxxie can pay for it. She then grabs the demon and throws it into the street. She then grabs Moxxie by his shoulders and turns him to where the portal is.
She then points to the portal and demands, "March, mister!"
Moxxie begins to sadly walk to the portal, but for a short while. Millie ends up carrying him effortlessly into the portal, leaving the bag behind.
