" #$%&, I can't use my claws or access my weapons while I'm in my human disguise, but I can't take it off right now either, what do I do?! " Emma thought frantically, racking her brain for ideas to save Moxxie.
As she did, she spotted a discarded half full glass liquor bottle on the beach, next to a discarded t-shirt near the front of the stage, giving Emma and idea.
" Ms. Mayday, you need to get out of here and get to safety. " Emma said to the popstar after she jumped down from the stage and picked up the liquor bottle and T-shirt.
" But what about you? " Verosika asked with a bit of worry as she looked at Emma from up on the stage.
" I'm going fishing. " Emma said as she tore some fabric from the shirt stuffed some of it down the bottle neck.
She then pulled out a pack of matches from on of her shorts pockets, lit one up one up and set the tip of the piece of fabric o fire, then sprinted towards the fish monster.
" Be safe kitty. " Verosika thought as she watched Emma run off towards the fish monster.
" Hey fish face, remember me?! " Emma yelled as she chucked the Molotov at the fish monster, hitting it right in the gills, and setting the monster on fire.
" Raaauurr! " The fish monster roared in pain, falling backwards into the ocean as it lost it's balance.
" Get it while it's down Millie! " Emma shouted as she pointed at the toppled monster.
" Thanks Emma! " Millie shouted back, as she pulled out a black hunting knife and ran into the water and towards the down monster.
" Whoa, what the #$%& is happening here Emma? " Emma heard from behind and turned to see Blitz standing behind her with a stuffed trash bag beside his feet.
" Blitz, where the #$%& have you been?! " Emma shouted irritably as she glared at the imp.
" Huh, I've been working my #$$ off trying to win this bet and hide the bodies. " Blitz replied as he pointed to corpse filled trash bag at his feet.
" So, mind explaining what's going? "Blitz asked curiously as he gestured to the huge fish monster.
" Well that huge fish monster just appeared, attacked us, and ate Moxxie, Millie's trying to safe him. " Emma said as she tried her best to summarize the situation to him.
" Raaauurr! "
Both Emma and Blitz suddenly turned their head to the ocean, and saw Millie had pried open the fish monster's jaws open.
And was pulling Moxxie out, cutting the fish monster's tongue that was holding him, and then tossed him towards the beach.
" I gotcha Moxxie! " Emma said as she caught the drunk imp in her arms.
As she caught him, she held him bridal style and was glad he was still in one piece, then Emma saw just in time to see Millie get gobbled up by the fish monster a second later.
" Millie! " Emma yelled in horror, as she saw her get snapped up by the fish monster.
However, almost immediately the fish monster began thrashing and shaking it's head wildly, while blood was dripping out from inside it's closed mouth.
It then threw its head back as it opened it's mouth, releasing Millie, and revealing multiple cuts on the remainder of it's tongue and inside it's mouth.
However Millie was done with the fish monster, she had lacked onto the fish monster's face, and began slicing it's face up with her knife.
" I love that woman. " Moxxie said drunkenly as he watched Millie cut up the fish monster's face in a wild rage fueled slashing frenzy.
" Happy to hear, your real lucky to have a girl like her Moxxie. " Emma said as she smiled at the drunken imp.
" Wish I had a girl like that to love too. " Emma thought sadly with a frown, as a sense loneliness wash over her.
" Raaauurr! " The fish monster roared, as it flung Millie off it's face by tossing it's head back, throwing Millie high in the air, and waited for her below with it's maw open.
Seeing this, Millie dived into the fish monster's open maw, narrowly avoiding it's teeth as it snapped it's jaws shut.
A moment later, the fish monster's throat was cut open, slipping a waterfall of blood, and then the monster fell over in the water dead.
With the huge fish vanquished, Millie swam and dragged herself back to shore, tired and waterlogged, and took a few moments to catch her breath.
" Oh yeah, way to show off Mills! " Blitzo said as he cheered and congratulated Millie.
" Yeah, that was amazing Millie! " Emma said as she congratulated Millie as well ,very impressive with how she took down the huge fish monster.
" Is Mox okay? " Millie asked worriedly as she ignored their praise, concerned only for her husband's well being.
" Oh yeah, don't worry Millie, he's fine. " Emma said as she handed the drunk imp over to Millie.
" Oh yeah I'm fiiinnne, hey, hey Emma, your clothes are all wet, and you smell of beer. " Moxxie drunkenly informed her as he looked up at Emma with a goofy smile.
" Huha, yeah, I know. " Emma said dryly, doing her best to ignore the sticky feeling of her beer soaked clothes, and the strong smell of beer coming off her.
" This is funny, I'm sooo * hic * drinky. " Moxxie drunkenly said as he giggled happily in Millie's arms.
" Enjoy it while it lasts Moxxie, your in for one #$% of a hangover tomorrow. " Emma said as she chuckled while she patted Moxxie's shoulder sympathetically.
" Make sure he eats carbohydrate rich foods, and drinks water and stuff that will restore electrolytes, it'll help with the hangover. "
" And he'll aslo need some painkillers and some meds for nausea too. " Emma said as she listed stuff Millie would need to get for Moxxie.
" Gotcha, I'll take good care of my Mox. " Millie said sweetly as she nuzzled Moxxie's forehead.
" Okay, this is too wholesome for my liking." Blitzo said as he rolled his eyes in annoyance at Millie and Moxxie as he folded his arms.
" Alright, tell me we've killed all the #$%&ing targets, because we're down to our last trash bag, and I'm ready to call it a day. " Blitz said as stretched his back.
" Yeah we got them all, Lily and I mad sure to bring a trash bag for every target, the last one was squashed into paste by the fish monster over there. " Emma said as she pointed to the blood smear that was their last target.
" Great, good job team! " Blitz said with a happy smile, pleased all targets on the list had all been killed.
" Blitzo! " Verosika called out to him irritably, as she and her posse walked up to him.
"Oh perfect, if it isn't the #%&$#s! " Blitzo said with annoyance as he turned around while he rolled his eyes at them as he faced them.
" Huha, here we go again, why does he have to be so antagonistic? " Emma thought, as she signed tierdly while she shook head as she pinched her brow.
" Whatcha want Verosika? " Blitz asked irritably as he glared the popstar.
" Well, that all was handled pretty obviously, don't you think? Verosika asked smuggly as she smirked at them.
" I don't think this belongs into any of us. " Millie said as she held up Verosika's liquor flash in her hand for all to see.
" It would be a shame, if anyone found out you guys were behind a giant monster fish in the human world." Millie said with a smug smirk of her own, as she playfully jiggled Verosika's flask in her hand.
" Oh $#%&, you'd all be so * hic * so #$%&ed! " Moxxie said as he drunkenly laughed.
" Yeah, well, you three nasty #$$ gremlins will be in $#$& for not being in disguises." Verosika said irritably as she gestures at three imps.
" Hey, a human called me a possum. " Moxxie said drunkenly as he took a woobly step forward, only to fall face first in the sand like a bag of bricks.
" I am not a possum." Moxxie stated drunkenly as he looked up at Verosika, before face planting in the sand again.
" You know, we could keep this little B movie scene on the down-low if you know, agree to let us use that parking space."" Blitzo said slyly as he pushed aside as he held his hand out to Verosika.
" Fine" Verosika growled with an angry grimace as she begrudgingly admitted defeat.
" Yeah, we #$%&ing won, in your face, #$%! " Blitzo exclaimed happily as he laughed as be walked away from Verosika and her posse, while Millie tossed Verosika's flask back to her.
" Hey what's going on over here? " Lily asked curiously as Loona and her walked up to them, having just made arrived back to the beach while holding hands.
" We #$%&ing won, that's what, #$%& yeah! " Blitzo yelled happily as he raised his arms in the air triumphantly.
" So, I see you two have made up. " Vortex said as he walked over to Lily and Loona with a smile, seeing them holding hands.
" Yeah, we have, she's my girlfriend now. " Loona said softly as she blushed lightly as she smiled at Lily, who smiled back and nodded in agreement.
" I'm happy for you two, hey let me give you my phone number, if you two are ever down to party, or for a double date, I'll give you a ring sometime. "
" My girlfriend throws a ton of hound parties, she'll be having one this weekend, and of course you can bring Lily along as well. " Vortex said as he pulled out his IPhone from one of his pants pockets.
" Oh cool, thanks. " Loona said as she pulled out her IPhone as well.
" Are you sure it'll be will be okay if I show up at a hound party, I mean I am a hellcat after all, and I've never been to one. " Lily said nervously, not sure it would be a good idea.
" Oh sure, it'll be fine Lily, there won't be no problem. " Vortex said casually as he reassured her.
" There you are, hey Tex, mind explaining where you were earlier, and why you left your post? " Verosika asked as she spotted her bodyguard recalling him missing during the middle of her concert.
" Well, I ahh. " Vortex said nervously as he scratched the back of his neck, as he tried to think of a way to explain that to his employer.
" Please don't be angry with him Ms. Mayday, he was looking for my sister who had disappeared at my request, due to them being friends. "
" That was wrong of me to ask of your bodyguard, and I'm truly sorry for the danger you were put through because of it. " Emma apologized sincerely as she walked up and bowed her head to the popstar.
" Hmm, well you did save me, so I'll let this slide beautiful. " Verosika said flirtatiously as she smiled sweetly at Emma as she took a step closer to her.
" Alright leave my employee alone you slut. " Blitz growled as he took a step towards Verosika.
" How about you mind your own business, Blitzo! " Verosika said as she pronounced the O in his name heavily, while Blitz and her glared at each other venomously.
" Actually Blitz, you hired me to assist your team with a job, and since you've won the bet, my job is finished, and I no longer work for you. " Emma said as she clarified the situation.
" Speaking of which, Ms. Mayday would you be interested in hiring me as a bodyguard for you? " Emma asked causally as she turned to the popstar.
" Huha, you can't be #$%&ing serious, I thought you didn't wanna work for her! " Blitz exclaimed in shock and anger as he heard this.
" That was when it wasn't my choice, because of your brash thinking, and after seeing this #$%&ing fiasco today, I've reconsidered. "
" Plus I've wanted to get out of the assassination biz for some time, and I'd like to have a more stable form of employment . " Emma said as she casually explained her decision.
" Also, since I helped with 1/3rd of the kills today, I expect to be paid for each one in full for my assistant Blitz." Emma said as mentally calculated the money she was owed as she looked at Blitz.
" Ugh, yeah, yeah fine, you'll get your money by the end of the day. " Blitz groaned in annoyance as he pinched his brow.
" I better. " Emma said flatly with an ominous tone as she folded her arms as she glared at Blitz.
" So, Ms. Mayday, would you like to hire me as a bodyguard? " Emma asked curiously as she turned to the popstar again.
" Oh, I'd like that very much, your hired sweety, can you start tomorrow? " Verosika asked sweetly as she smiled happily at Emma.
" That's fine with me Ms. Mayday. " Emma said causally, glad she finally had gotten permanent employment.
" Come on sweety , didn't I say you could call me Verosika, remember? " Verosika asked with a hint of a flirty tone a she smiled at Emma.
" Ah yes, you did, Verosika. " Emma said as she faintly blushed as she recalled that, and addressed her new boss by her first name.
" Hmm, now then, how about I give you a ride back with us, as thanks for saving me. " Verosika said as she of offered Emma a ride back home.
" Sure, thanks for that Verosika. " Emma said smiled at her, grateful for the offer of a free ride and a way home.
" It's no prob, alright let's get out of this place before the cops show up. " Verosika said, as she turned around and walked away with her posse and Vortex following her.
" Sorry Lily, it'd be nice if we could've worked together, but your boss is a real #$%&ing idiot. " Emma said a she smiled apologetically to her younger sister.
" Hey it's alright Emma, I understand, he's not all bad though, he's just got some, or more like a lot of screws loose, but he does keeps things lively. " Lily said with a light chuckle.
" Hey, I'm right #$%&ing here you know. " Blitz said irritably as he folded his arms in annoyance, as the two disguised hellcats casually talked about him right in front of his face.
" See ya later Emma. " Lily said as she smiled to her older sister.
" You too Lily, and you treat my sister right Loona. " Emma said as she smiled at the human disguised hellhound.
" I will. " Loona said a she smiled at down at Lily, who smiled back as well.
" Good, see you two later. " Emma said as she smiled at them, happy for the both of them,before she turned and caught up with Verosika and the others.
" Hey thanks for helping me back there Emma, and glad to have you on the team. " Vortex said with a smile as he walked beside her.
" Of course, your Lily's friend, and you did help me after all, so that makes you a friend to me as well. " Emma as she smiled up at him.
" Also, do you think I could go to that party you mentioned to Lily and Loona, I've never been to or invited to a hound party before either. " Emma inquired as she looked at Vortex curiously.
" Sure thing, also I think my boss have a thing for you. " Vortex as he exchanged numbers with Emma, recalling how Verosika had acted towards Emma since she meet her.
" I doubt it, it's probably nothing more than typical playful teasing to her. " Emma said flatly as she pocketed her phone in one of her shorts pockets.
" I don't know about that, I've seen her playing around with others before, but she seems to regard you differently, hope that's not awkward for you. " Vortex said as he looked at Emma.
" Like I said, it's probably nothing. " Emma said dismissively at the idea, as she followed Verosika and her posse as they left the beach.
" It's probably nothing, besides I won't fall for a pretty face and sweet words again, not after last time. " Emma thought bitterly with anger, as she recalled something unpleasant.
" Ugh, can't believe she #$%&ing joined that slut and her gang, oh well. " Blitz said as he signed heavily before he quickly got over it.
" Come on everyone, let's go back and park our fat #$%&ing car in our fat #$%&ing space! " Blitz said excitedly as he head towards a open portal on the sand Millie had opened.
Once they were all back in the I.M.P office lobby, Lily and Loona shed their human disguises and returned to their true forms.
While Millie took Moxxie and carried him to the lobby coach, who was fast asleep after passing out from all the alcohol he drank.
Alrighty, now , I know its been a long #$%&ing day for all of us, but before anything I've got company announcement to make. " Blitz said as he got everyone's attention focused on him.
" Thanks to the killing we've made today, pun intended, we've made a $#%& load of money, and showed up that drunken slut! " Blitz said happily as he recalled the angry look on Verosika's face as she relinquished the parking spot to them with delight.
" And since I know today was #$%&ing rough for us all, everyone gets the rest of spring break off! " Blitz dramatically announced happily as he did jazz hands for effect.
" Oh wow, thanks Blitz, that's really nice of ya. " Millie said cheerfully as she smiled
" Your welcome, now I've gotta go inform all our clients of our success, transfer Emma's cut, then we can all go home. " Blitz said as he began headed into his office.
" Hey Millie, what happened to Moxxie. " Lily asked as she saw the passed out imp.
" And why does he reek of beer? " Loona asked as she could smell the strong scent of it coming off of him.
" Oh he fine, just a bit drunk is all, he got caught by some partying humans and got locked in a beer keg. " Millie said nonchalantly like it was nothing.
" $#%&, did you kill all of those that saw him? " Lily asked with concern as she looked at Millie.
" Oh don't cha worry Lily, the humans thought he was a possum, so there's concerned about. " Millie said cheerfully as she reassured the hellcat.
" They thought he was a possum, sheesh, just how drunk were they? " Lily asked, as Loona and her chuckled at the thought of Moxxie being compared to a possum.
" I'd say they were pretty drunk, I mean look at him, how could anyone mistake my handsome Moxxie with a varmint? " Millie said as she smiled at her sleeping husband.
" I don't know, but I'm just glad his fine, well he'll be super hangover tomorrow, but I'm glad he'll be fine. " Lily said as she smiled at Moxxie.
" Yeah me too, anyway I saw you two holding hands back there, you two finally hooked up? " Millie asked curiously as she smiled at them.
" Ahh yeah, wait so you knew I had feelings for Loona, since when? " Lily asked curiously as she looked at Millie in surprise.
" Oh darling, I could tell from the start, it was obvious from the how you were around her. " Millie said sweetly as she smiled at Lily.
" Though I'm mighty surprised that you didn't see it sooner Loona, since you two spend so much time together and all. " Millie said as she looked at the hellhound curiously.
" Oh lay off, I know now. " Loona huffed as she turned her head as she folded her arms and walked off to her desk, feeling embarrassed because Millie was right.
" Well I'll go take Moxxie and head to our office, give you two new lovebirds some alone time. " Millie said cheerfully as she winked at Lily, as she scooped up Moxxie effortlessly.
" Thanks Millie. " Lily said as she smiled at female imp, grateful to have some alone time with Loona.
" No prob sweety. " Millie said as she as she scooped up Moxxie effortlessly and held him bridal style, and headed off towards their office.
" Huha, what a awful day it's been. " Lily said as she walked over to Loona's desk and pulled up a next to where she sat.
" Yeah, it sure was. " Loona said in agreement as she pulled our her phone and browsed the internet.
" But a least it wasn't all bad, right Loonie? " Lily asked as she smiled up at Loona as she sat down beside her.
" Yeah, it wasn't all bad Lily. " Loona said as she leaned over and kissed Lily's right cheek, smiling as she saw Lily blushing and smiling after she did.
" Hey Lily. " Loona said as she glanced at Blitz's office door sadly before she turned to Lily.
" Hmm, what's up Loona? " Lily asked curiously as she looked AR her and noticed hehe shift in her mood.
" I know this is sudden and all, but could I stay over at your place for a bit, things between me and Blitz are a bit, awkward right now. " Loona said as she recalled the hurtful things she said to him.
" Oh sure Loona, I understand, you can stay over as long as you want. " Lily said happily as she smiled at Loona.
" Thanks Lily. " Loona said as she smiled thankfully at her hellcat girlfriend.
" Of course, but do you think you should tell Blitz though, I don't want to make things even worse between you two. "Lily said worriedly as she looked up at Loona.
" Don't worry about it, he'll get over it, he always does, plus I'd rather not tell him, he'd probably try to find out where you live again anyway. " Loona said as she frowned as she glared at Blitz's office door in annoyance.
" Yeah, I do not want that happening, especially from what I've heard from Moxxie. " Lily said as she recalled what he told her of the many times Blitz snuck into in the imp couple's house.
" Did you know he hid inside their fridge, and snuck into their bedroom and watched them sleep, for who knows how long? "
" I've infiltrated targets homes to assassinate them, I've even killed targets in their beds before, but he just watched them sleep, talk about creepy. " Lily said with a grimace, feeling disturbed and creeped out by the thought of being watched well she slept.
" Yeah, and I'd rather him not bother us, he'd probably #$%&ing never leave us alone if he did find out. " Loona said with annoyance as she could already imagine it.
" Yeah, alright I guess it would be best not to tell him after all, I'd definitely rather he not bother us on our time off. " Lily said with a bod of agreement.
" Yeah, I couldn't come over to you place before, because of Blitz always #$%&ing trying to find out where you lived. "
" So I'm looking forward to finally seeing your place, where do you live anyway Lily? " Loona asked Lily curiously, having never heard her speak of her home before.
" I'd rather not say while we're here, plus I wanna surprise you. " Lily said as she looked at Loona with a playful smile.
" Alright, I'm looking forward to it then. " Loona said as she smiled back at her.
" Me too, so when do you want me to drop by your place and pick you at, or do you wanna head there right after we get off work? " Lily asked curiously as she looked at Loona.
" Hmm, how about we head there now, but first we need to stop by my place so and I can grab some clothes and some other stuff. " Loona said as she began mentally making a list of what she needed.
" Alright, let's go tell him we're heading of so he won't freak out like he did at the beach, if he asks we'll tell him were going to hangout like we usually do. " Loona said as she thought of an believable response if Blitz did ask.
" You know you don't have to come right, I can go can in tell him myself so you don't have to. " Lily offered as she recalled the argument the two had on the beach.
" Oh I'm coming with you, knowing Blitz he'll probably give you a hard time since we're dating, and I'm not letting him do that to you. " Loona said with a serious face and tone.
" Thanks Loona. " Lily said as she smiled gratefully at the hellhound, happy to see Loona cared about her so much.
" Of course Lily, your my best friend and my girlfriend, I'm not #$%&ing going to let him, or anyone mess with you. " Loona said as she looked at Lily with a caring smile.
" So how about this, you come along while I'll talk to him so you don't have to, sound good? " Lily suggested curiously to Loona.
" Sure, that's fine with me, I don't really feel like talking to him right now anyway. " Loona said causally, not sure what to say to Blitz after all she said to him at the beach.
" Huha, alright let's get this over with so we can get going already. " Loona said as she got up and stuffed her phone in one of her shorts pockets.
" Hopefully this will be quick and we can be on our way. " Lily thought as they began headed towards Blitz's office.
" Hey Blitz got a sec? " Lily asked as she knocked on the office door, before she opened the door and Loona and her entered the office room.
" Oh hey Lily, Loona, I'm still busy texting all our clients, so what's up? " Blitz asked curiously as he put his phone down on his desk.
" Well me and Loona have are gonna head off now, since it's already past closing time. " Lily said casually as she informed him.
" Oh $#%&, it is. " Blitz said in mild surprise as he looked at the time on his phone.
" Yeah, so me and Loona are gonna get going, see you next Monday. " Lily said as Loona and her went to head out of the office.
" Hold up, there's something I'd like to chat with you about Lily. " Blitz said as he before she could take a step.
" Huha, #$%&ing seriously? " Loona whispered under her breath as she sighed and pinched her brow in annoyance.
" Uh, okay, so what's up Blitz? " Lily asked causally as Loona an her she turned to face him,
" So you have feelings for my Lonnie, huh? " Blitz asked curiously with the same tone he used with Vortex as he glared at her, sounding like a protective parent.
" Blitz, stop it. " Loona said sternly as she glared at him with her arms folded, already getting irritated with the tone Blitz was speaking to Lily with.
" What I'm just curious, she did say she did back at the beach. " Blitz replied in his defense as he looked at Loona, unfazed by her angry glare.
" Ahh yeah I did, I do have feelings for Loona, we're actually dating now. " Lily informed him nervously, hoping Blitz wouldn't disapprove of her.
" Huh, repeat that. " Blitz replied as his faced scrunched up into a irritated frown as he turned and glared at her more intensely.
" Ah, me and Loona, are dating? "Lily repeat slowly with a nervous tone as her ears flattened a bit at seeing his reaction.
" Wait a #$%&ing sec, dating when did this happen?! " Blitz exclaimed in utter surprise at hearing this.
" J-Just today actually. " Lily admitted nervously, as her tail slightly wrapped around her legs, while her ears flattened against her head even more.
" Alright that's #$%&ing enough, leave her the #$%& alone Blitz! " Loona growled angrily as she stepped in front of Lily protectively.
" I'm just-"
" I don't #$%&ing care, your not going to talk $#%& to her, she's my girlfriend, #$%&ing deal with it! " Loona snapped at Blitz furiously as she cut him off.
" Come on Lily, we're leaving! " Loona barked angrily as she grabbed Lily's hand, and stormed out of Blitz's office with her angrily, slamming the door behind them as they left.
" #$%&, that could've went better. " Lily thought sadly, as she walked beside Loona as she held her hand as they left the I.M.P office and headed to the elevator.
