After another thirty minutes, Cody was still shooting the pistol given to him, and he hoped that it wouldn't make him go deaf with all the loud blasts heard as he kept on firing at the target. He felt like he should have gotten himself earmuffs like in shooting ranges so it wouldn't have to be so loud for him to endeavor. Yet again, he had been to some heavy metal concerts and he was probably used to noises like that. His arms were getting sore from all the kickbacks he was receiving from firing his new pistol and he just wanted to take a break from this.

"You're doing good, kid." said Blitzo with his arms crossed. "How do your arms feel?"

"Almost like I've been lifting weights with them." Cody admitted. "And I can't even lift those large weights. They're too heavy." the boy put his new pistol down to rest his arms, because they felt like noodles to him. "I probably need ice for my arms."

"Don't worry, it's not so bad." said Loona. "On the upside, you're slowly improving your shooting."

Cody got himself some more lemonade to drink and it always felt refreshing to him to eat these cold beverages, and just wanted to rest his arms after all those kickbacks. "I feel like I'm preparing for a zombie apocalypse." The others couldn't help but laugh.

"Kinda does feel that way." Moxxie smirked.

"But if it does happen, you would be safe and sound down here in Hell." Millie gently ruffled his brown hair. "And you would have nothing to worry about."

"I doubt a zombie apocalypse would actually happen." said Loona while nodding her head. "I know your Earth face many disasters in history like the Bubonic plague or... I think it was called the Bubonic plague." she didn't know for sure. "But you're doing good. Like Vortex said, if you ever go camping out in the wilderness, it's a good idea to have these new weapons."

Cody looked at his two axes and then his revolver. "I don't think it would be enough to take down a large meteor that might come down to Earth and destroy us all." he admitted

"That's a little morbid." said Tex.

"I'm sorry." said Cody. "it's just that, after... losing my parents it just... made me more cautious and careful about what's going on."

"It's ok, Cody." said Vortex. "You're still a kid and you should have fun with your life and live it to the fullest."

"Tex is right." said Moxxie. "I doubt the Earth would even be struck by a gigantic meteor. Chances of that are as slim as... more slim than winning the lottery."

"True. But I am moving on." Cody said. "I promise. At least, I got you guys."

"Oh come here." said Loona before giving him another hug. It made the kid warm on the inside and he really felt glad to have a new friend like her.

"Thanks, Loona. So those agents won't try and hurt me anymore, and will I see you after school tomorrow?"

"As always, Cody. As always." Loona gently ruffled his hair like Millie did before. "And i'll be waiting for you."

Cody smiled again


While listening to Miss Stacey talk about geography and the continents of the world, and she begins to talk about Africa to Cody and the other kids, and the animals that live on the dark continent, which amazed many of the kids in awe. "Africa is a very diverse continent, and has so many countries and wonders." said Stacey. "And it is the birth-" but before she can finish her sentence, there was a loud, repetative booming sound outside, and it spooked everybody, especially Cody.

"What was that?" said Tyler.

"I don't know." said a female student.

"Sounded like an explosion." said another female student named Carly.

It was silent for a moment, but then, the sound of continuing gunfire continued, making everyone scream and hide under the tables to keep themselves safe. The kids continued screaming and crying as they heard more gunshots. Cody was especially scared at what would happen next. Whoever was shooting up the whole school might come into this classroom and kill so many people. It almost made him wish that he had his axes and guns with him... almost.

A sound of a louder explosion was heard and it made everyone even more afraid. They didn't know what was going on or why this was happening in the first place. "Hey you!" said a male voice. "Stop!" then a pistol sound was heard and someone screaming thereafter.

"Can't hide from us!" another male voice said from outside.

An idea came into Miss Stacey's head, and she quietly opened the window. "Kids, here, this way." she whispered to them. "And when you get out the window, go right out of the school grounds, far away from here as possible."

The kids were still afraid but they got out of their classroom through the window and ran away.

Hard to See by Five Finger Death Punch Plays

Miss Stacey followed after them and tried to catch up to them, but then she was shot in the back, making the kids gasp in shock.

Alas, they were too scared to even look back at her and ran faster than ever to avoid the gunshots.

Cody looked back to see his teacher down and tried to help her get back up, but more gunshots were heard and he had no time to help her out unfortunately.

As soon as everyone got out of the school. Cody was panting and he made his way into a nearby convenience store to catch his breath. "Hey, hey hey, what are you doing out of school?" said the clerk.

"There was... a school... shooting." Cody said. "Made it out of there alive."

"What?" the clerk sounded shocked. "A shooting over at the school?" he picked up his phone to tell the police about what was going on.

For Cody, he picked up his phone and called Loona. "Loona? are you there?" asked the boy.

"Hey Cody, what's going on?"

"A couple of guys are shooting up ky school!" Cody exclaimed. "Oen of them shot Miss Stacey!"

"What?!" Loona looked shocked herself. "How did this happen?"

"I don't know, but I got out of there."

"OK kid, hang tight, I'm coming over there. Let me get the book." she hurried to where the novel was and got it.

"Hey hey hey, where's the fire here?" asked Blitzo

"She's just probably going to get herself another vanilla coffee in the human world." Moxxie scoffed

"Fuck you too, Moxxie." Loona said, finally finding the book. "Some fuckers are shooting Cody's school."

"What?!" everyone said.

"Yeah, I need to find him." Loona said. She transformed into her human disguise, so did Vortex, and the imps got themselves some cheesy disguises since they couldn't magically transform into humans like Hellhounds can. The portal was opened and they were back in the human world on the outskirts of town. They went near the city to find a bunch of kids running down the street, crying and screaming at the top of their lungs.

"This is so not good." said Tex. "We need to find Cody."

Loona picked up her phone again to call her friend. "Cody? where are you?"

"I'm at a Circle K on Marie Antoinette drive." the kid replied.

The demons went around the area to find the street and the convenience store to find Cody sitting on a bench inside the place. "Cody!" said Loona, running up to hug him. "Thank god you're ok."

"Loona, I don't know what happened."

"It's ok, it's ok." the female hellhound soothed him. "We can take care of those shooters for you." The demons realized that they should get out of the convenience store to not have any witnesses find out about Hell, and went behind the building so possibly, no witnesses can find out. "Yeah, i mean, the world doesn't need another tragedy like this."

"Whoa whoa whoa, we don't want to risk our... secret being given away to the police." said Blitzo.

"But... there are my friends still in there." said Cody, begging.

"Look, we know that there are still some of your friends in there," said Moxxie. "but we don't want to get in trouble with Satan. It's bad enough that those demon hunting agents found out about us, but the police finding out?"

"Maybe it won't be like those agents. I mean, it's only just a few guys." said Vortex. "Granted, i know i wasn't there when you guys were fighting D.H.O. , but Loona told me how much of a wild ride that was."

Loona looked at Cody again, still looking like he was begging his demon friends to save everyone in his school. "You know what, It's only a few guys like Cody mentioned." the female hellhound noted. "I mean, if we fought those agents, we can fight those shooters too."

Cody smiled and hugged Loona. "Thanks Loona. I don't want anyone else I know to... go down too."

"Yeah, fuck it." said Blitzo. "Cody is our friend and we have to help him out."

"Ooh! more goons to kill." said Millie. They all rushed to where the school was, and a couple of police cars were already there to try and stop the carnage. The cops seemed to be inside the school to stop the Hellish event, and more gunshots were heard.

"Drop your weapons!" said an officer.

"Come and get us, coppers!" said one of the shooters.

Author's Note

I hope this doesn't offend people, but I wanted something exciting to come up. And here is a special message. We all know about the horrible shootings like this that happened over the years. It's not the guns that are the problem, it's some of the people crazy enough to do something like this. The kind of people that deserve to be locked up in the funny farm for the rest of their days, or get themselves lobotomies for doing something crazy as much as shooting up a public place. You can play your part to prevent such tragedies from happening and make sure crazy people like these ones can never do such atrocious acts.
