Moxxie screamed, falling through the sling ring portal and landing into the snow of Antarctica on his back. He struggled to get back up, quickly treading through the tundra as he watched Doctor Strange's portal suddenly close before he could reach it. ''No!''
''Moxxie!'' - Blitzo, Millie, and Loona
''Now, tell us the reason why you're here, and we might consider bringing your little friend back.'' Doctor Strange said to the three remaining demons.
''Oh, go suck on a sandpaper cock!'' Loona responded.
'Loony!'' Blitz said.
''What? Do you really fucking expect us to spill the beans to them? And let the whole human world know about our damn existence?''
Blitzo sighed. ''Fine, you want to know who we are? Fuck it, I'll tell you. We're imps from hell. Imps who kill shitty human beings for a living. And that book you have right there? It's the grimoire. *Sigh* I got it from Stolas, after doing a transactional fucking, but it's not like we're boyfriends or anything. We're not, okay? Anyways, we use it to travel to and back because we need the fucking money as hell is a shitty shithole to live in.''
Doctor Strange, Luz Noceda, and Miles Morales both exchanged looks.
''I wish I didn't hear all of that.'' Luz spoke.
''Well, now you know.'' Blitz said. ''Fucking happy now?''
''Fair enough.'' Doctor Strange answered. He then snapped his fingers, creating a sling portal up above as Moxxie fell through, landing onto the hard floor of the dungeon. Some snow from Antartica fell on top of him.
''He answered your question. Now let us go!'' Loona said to Doctor Strange.
''They're not going to let us out, Loony.'' Blitz said. ''We're fucking stuck here.''
''But what about your boyfriend? He can save us, right?'' Millie said. ''He did it before.''
Blitz groaned after hearing the word ''boyfriend''. After what happened at Ozzie's, they haven't really talked much afterwards. And why should he? After all, Stolas only wanted Blitzo as a plaything. And according to Ozzie, he sold his life for a thrust. And he threw everything else away, his wife, his daughter, just to only have Blitz. But the question is, was it out of selfishness or was it because of love?
But that couldn't really be love. Love is what Moxxie and Millie have. Not Blitzo.
And who could love Blitz? Everyone he has ever met only resents him. And now, if the grimoire was to be lost, Stolas will hate him too.
Blitzo tightened a hand into fist as he laid against the wall of his cell. ''I don't need nobody.''
''I can do things on my own, so easily.''
''But you don't know how to do things alone, Blitzo!'' - Striker's voice
''(Laughs) This guy's a total disgrace, last I checked, your love life is a pile of shit!'' - Fizzaroli's voice
''Yet you still shove away anyone who gets too close until they resent you, for being a selfish shitty shit-fuck!'' - Verosika Mayday's voice
''You're going to die alone, Blitzo!'' - Striker's voice
''You're going to die alone.'' - Fizzaroli's voice
''Sir?''
Blitz raised his head from looking down.
'What did you tell them?'' Moxxie said. ''Please don't say you told them everything''
Blitz then lowered his head down as he did not want to look at Moxxie anymore. He didn't want to look at anyone. ''I did.''
Before Moxxie could ask why, Luz Noceda slammed Eda's staff onto the hard floor. And the red possum was teleported back to the cell where he originally belonged. He slammed a tightened fist onto the magical barrier in anger. Then, he gave up. As it was the only thing they could possibly do right now. There was no chance of getting out.
''This was all your fucking fault.'' Loona said bitterly to Blitz.
(Later, in New York City)
Peter Parker (Iron Spiderman) swiftly swung through New York City, passing above its busy streets and intersections. After letting himself gracefully fall for a moment toward a sidewalk, he released a white spider web from one of his wrists. It attached below a streetlight, letting him take a safe landing to the ground.
Passing through the walking pedestrians, Peter Parker pushed the glass door and stepped into Starbucks. He was immediately hit with the aroma of cappuccino, glancing at the baked goods and the menu that had a good number of delicious choices.
Sitting at a table, near to the large glass windows that showed the busy life of New York, was the Calamity Trio. The great defenders of Amphibia. ''Hey Peter!'' Adult Marcy waved happily. Iron Spiderman turned around from the sound of his name.
''Oh, hi guys!'' He spoke. ''Hi Marcy, how's that new superhero webcomic you've been working on?''
''Because it's great so far, I'm on the chapter where Tony dates your OC.''
''Oh, it's doing fine.'' Adult Marcy giggled.
''Speaking of Tony, how's the Avengers doing?'' Adult Sasha wondered.
''Oh, well, just doing typical superhero stuff. Peter Parker answered. ''Tony is working on this new project. Apparently, Doctor Strange has told him that we've received new visitors.''
''(Gasp) were they frogs?'' Adult Marcy asked.
''Uh, no.'' Peter Parker answered.
''Aww.'' Adult Marcy exclaimed, slouching against her seat with disappointment.
New visitors? If it certainly isn't frogs, what else could it be? Aliens?
'Where can we see them? Do you know?'' Adult Anne asked.
Then, a sling ring portal opened in the Starbucks, surprising everyone.
Doctor Strange stepped out, approaching Iron Spiderman and the Calamity Trio. ''Follow me.''
(Inside Doctor Strange's Sanctum.)
''What you are about to see is something otherworldly. Miles and my former apprentice managed to capture them. Whatever you do, do not try to get close and ask these creatures where they're from. They are unreasonable. Filthy. And extremely impolite.'' Doctor Strange said.
''Okay, but who is exactly them?'' Sasha asked Doctor Strange.
''They're imps.'' Doctor Strange answered.
The girls stopped in their tracks. ''What?''
''Are you talking about demons from hell?'' Marcy wondered.
Doctor Strange turned to Marcy. ''Why yes, yes, I am.''
Sasha and Anne then exchanged worried looks.
''I've read about them once from the bible.'' Marcy said. ''But never have I thought that we would be able to actually meet them in the flesh.''
''Well, consider this to be your first time.'' Doctor Strange said.
He snapped his fingers, opening a sling ring portal for the Calamity Trio and Spiderman to step through. They were immediately taken to the center of the dungeon. Marcy saw the imps and their hellhound in their own separate cells. ''*Gasp* Oh my god, they're so cute!'' She spoke, placing her hands onto their cheeks as her eyes sparkled.
''Dafuq?'' Blitz uttered.
Marcy ran to Moxxie, who in reaction, quickly moved all the way to the back of his cell.
''Marcy, stop.'' Anne said.
Marcy got all close to the magical barrier, pressing her face cheeks against it. ''Aww, aren't you just a handsome little fella?''
A nervous smile then appeared on Moxxie's face.
''Marcy, stop it.'' Doctor Strange said frustratedly.
'*Gasp* Oh my gosh, the hellhound is so adorable.''
Loona blushed, her ears quickly moving back as she scratched her neck in embarrassment.
''Marcy!'' - Anne, Sasha, and Doctor Strange
''Yes?'' Marcy turned with a grin.
''Can you maybe tone it down a bit?'' Anne asked with a nervous smile.
''Yeah, these things can be dangerous.'' Sasha then said.
''Uh, excuse me lady, we are not just things, okay?'' Blitz responded, standing up.
''Yeah, we're imps, who can do a pretty fuckin' good job of kickin' ass!'' Millie added.
''Oh, well, if you do such a ''great job'', then how are you all trapped in here?'' Sasha gestured to the entire dungeon.
''Well, uh, fuck you too.'' Blitz said. He then sat back down and crossed his arms.
''Wow, they're so rude.'' Anne said.
''Yeah, at the least the frogs didn't curse a lot.'' Marcy added.
'You guys meant with talking frogs?'' Luz Noceda asked.
Doctor Strange sighed. ''You know what? Forget about the demons. There is something else we have to talk about.''
''And it's something about a book named the grimoire. The demons managed to travel from Hell to here. They've been using it to commit their atrocities across the earth realm.'' Doctor Strange said.
''Atrocities? Like what?'' Anne asked.
''Murder.'' Doctor Strange answered. ''They've been killing people.''
The Calamity Trio then exchanged horrified looks.
''I've been trying to understand the spells in the book. If I am able to use the grimoire, I might be able to send them back. And then, the book will have to be destroyed.''
Blitz raised his head, his eyes widening.
''Until then, keep a sharp eye on anything out there. I don't know what else might plop out from the depths of Hell.''
''Oh, you can count on us, Mr. Strange.'' Sasha then said, hugging her two best friends.
''Oh, I hope so.'' Doctor Strange said with a brief smile.
(Later, night fell upon New York City.)
The Calamity Trio, wearing their superhero suits, walked through the dead sidewalk with Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and Luz Noceda. The witch, of the Boiling Isles, kept an eye out as she hovered just above the superheroes on Eda's staff.
Anne Boonchuy wore a white vibranium suit, with A's on her shoulders, a letter standing for Avengers. And on the front of her suit, was the name of Sprig, spray-painted in blue.
Sasha also wore a white vibranium suit with a pink phoenix showing from the back. Her shoulders also had the letter A's, and the front of her chest showed two pink dual-wield swords crossed together.
For Marcy, she wore a white vibranium suit, the back of it showing a green dice. And on the front of her chest, were two green arrows crossed together.
''Do you see anything yet, Luz?'' Miles Morales looked up.
''Not as of yet.'' She responded.
Wind passed through the hanging traffic lights of the empty intersections. The heroes walk past closed stores, approaching a nearby alleyway. A sudden flash of red casted out of it, grabbing everyone's attention. The Avengers quickly rushed to it, turning the corner as they quickly stopped from what was in front of them. A red portal had opened on the dead-end wall.
''Is that what I think it is?'' Peter Parker asked.
''No, there's no way they've escaped.'' Miles Morales said.
Then, someone stepped through the portal.
Striker, with Green Goblin standing on his left, and Killmonger standing on his right, stood at the end of the alleyway as the red portal closed.
''Give up Blitzo.'' Striker said.
''Who's Blitzo?'' Miles Morales asked.
''Gee, I don't know, some fuckin imp who owns a business killin' folks in the living world.'' Striker said.
''He must be referring to those demons.'' Marcy said to Anne and Sasha.
Luz Noceda stepped forward. ''What's your reason being here?''
''There are bounties on the I.M.P employees and their boss. They have something they do not own, and, their boss managed to shame the entire goetia family over a relationship he has with their prince, Stolas.'' Killmonger said under his mask.
''And a debt must be paid.'' Striker added, flicking away the wheat straw he had in the side of his mouth.
''So, if Ya'll were to be so kind and step aside, we'll be on our merry way to get the stupid little imps and their grimoire.''
''And maybe then, we might decide to spare you.'' Green Goblin spoke.
''Well, you're not getting them.'' Anne said. From a sword holster around her waist, she pulled out Tritonio's ancestral blade and pointed it at Striker. He chuckled for a bit. ''So, the human girl got fight in 'er. I can respect that. Alright, you want to tango with us? Let's tango.''
Striker then pulled out two bless-marked guns from his leathered holsters. He took a step back as the two supervillains ran toward the heroes. Luz Noceda charged forward first, placing an ice glyph onto the ground. Its symbol quickly glowed bright blue, forming an ice sheet over Killmonger's feet. She swiftly slides against it under him to his back, swinging Eda's staff across his legs causing him to fall and land onto the ice on his back. Miles Morales leaped up, swinging down a kick onto Green Goblin's masked head. He stepped back from the hit, screaming as he lurched forward at Miles for another attack.
Iron Spiderman quickly fired both shots of web toward Green Goblin's legs, pulling them forward causing Norman Osborn to lose his footing and fall to the ground. The eyes before his yellow shades widened as Anne jumped at him with both hands holding Tritonio's sword. He dodged, quickly rolling over to his side as the blade violently impacted the concrete. As the Green Goblin stood back on his feet, the heroes noticed Striker running out of the alleyway. ''He's getting away!'' Luz Noceda cried.
''Do one of you heroes want to play football?'' Green Goblin asked playfully. He then pulled out one of his pumpkin bombs from a pouch of his suit. Eyeing on his target, he turned one on with a click. ''Here girl, catch!''
At that moment, it was almost seemed slow motion as Norman Osborn threw the pumpkin bomb at Marcy. The bomb got close to her, exploding outward into shrapnel and creating a green fiery explosion. Marcy was sent back into the air, hitting the ground and rolling over to the edge of the sidewalk. She lied there unconsciously with parts of her suit burnt from the bomb.
''Marcy!'' - Anne, Sasha
The girls rushed over to Marcy, taking their arms to hold her up from the ground.
''Marcy? Marcy!'' Anne cried. ''Wake up! Please wake up!''
Killmonger battle-cried as he slammed a tightened fist onto the ground. A golden energy wave burst out from his suit, sending the two spidermen and Luz Noceda into the air. They hit against the walls of the alleyway, falling back to the earth's surface.
''No, no, no, no'' Anne said. ''No, Marcy.''
Tears then fell down to Anne's cheeks and mouth. The girls broke up into sobs, hugging their best friend as they sat close to the sidewalk's curb.
Green Goblin and Killmonger slowly approached the Calamity trio as they stepped over the heroes.
''Get up and die with honor.'' Killmonger said. He then revealed his vibranium claws.
Anne tightened her grip over Marcy's body, her pupils suddenly turning bright blue.
''Anne, your eyes.'' Sasha said with a gaped mouth.
(Back in Doctor Strange's dungeon…)
''So, this is it, huh?'' Moxxie said. ''the end of our business?''
'It's not the end of our business, Mox.'' Blitzo said. ''We'll just have to, uh, ask Stolas for help.''
''But I thought you two weren't in speaking terms.'' Moxxie said. ''And what about the grimoire? I don't think he'd be too fond of the idea that we lost it to a fucking wizard.''
Blitz sighed. ''I don't know. I'll think of something once we get back.''
Moxxie rolled his eyes. ''You know, sir, sometimes I wonder why I picked this job.''
''What the fuck is that supposed to mean?'' Blitzo said. ''What? You don't like fucking working for me?''
'It's not about the job. It's you and Loona.'' Moxxie said. ''Ever since I first got in there, I had to put up with you and your daughter's shit.''
Loona revealed a raised middle finger.
''See? That's the fucking crap I'm talking about.'' Moxxie said.
''Well, okay Karen, I run a business in Hell. Quote on quote.'' Blitz said. ''So don't fucking judge me.''
''Oh, I have every right to judge you.''
''You don't fucking know a damn thing about me.'' Blitzo said.
''Oh, but I know everything that you do, that pisses everyone off.'' Moxxie responded back.
''Moxxie.'' Millie said. ''Please stop. This isn't helpin'.''
''No, Blitz deserves to hear this.''
''Especially after what we're going through right now!''
''And after the fucking fact that he told everything about us!''
''Do you realize, sir, that this potentially puts us in a very dangerous situation?''
''Why did you even tell him about this fucking information in the first place?''
'Because I did it to save you.'' Blitz said.
''What?''
''Because I did it to fucking save you!'' Blitzo said.
The dungeon grew silent for a moment.
''I didn't have any other fucking choice. You were in danger, and I couldn't suck up the fact that I would have ended up being responsible for letting you die. After letting everyone else down in my life.'' Blitzo said.
Blitz then wiped the tears away with one arm. 'I'm sorry, Mox.''
Blitz sighed. ''I'm sorry, Loony.''
''Dad...'' Loona said tenderly.
''And I'm sorry, Millie.'' Blitzo said.
Blitzo then laid onto his side inside his own cell.
''We'll think of something, Blitz.'' Moxxie said.
''Yeah, maybe Stolas will understand.'' Millie added. '' That's if he doesn't try to kill us first.''
