Returning to Pride after all the 'fun' he had down in Lust, a blood covered Benny Rorschach walks down the streets of Pentagram city with an evil smile on his face, Kandarian Dagger in hand as he was proud at what he achieved. No doubt would word spread fast of Ozzie's being set a place and the Prince of Lust himself in need of some serious medical attention. And as for Fizzarolli, well...he'll keep that to himself for now, as he spots three familiar figures walking over to him.

"Benny. You sure look like you had a good time down at Lust." Millie stated as Benny nodded agreeingly.

"Yeah, thanks for that little tip about Fizz. I've been waiting ten years to get back at him."

"So, what happened down here?" asked Moxxie.

"Let's just say he and Asmodeus aren't gonna be doing showbiz for a long time now."

Loona then bluntly asked "So, you killed them?"

"Almost." Benny answered. "Asmodeus is probably gonna need a new eye...and foot...and lung...and a few other things I may have ripped off of him. And Fizz? Well...I'm not even close to finishing with him. I got him stashed away for now and will have my with him when the job is done."

"Well, we should thank you, Benny." Moxxie asked. "I'm sure our boss is gonna want to hear the news about Ozzie's. And it's all thanks to you."

"Yeah...leave the part about me out of all that. I'm sure Blitzø is gonna wanna hear that I was responsible, less he get more aggravated to kill me."

Loona then replied "You know, there's something I don't get. Blitzø said he used to be part of a circus as a kid, and yet you hate clowns."

"Yeah, that was part of the Family Business." Benny said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Our father was a no good swindler, got away with pickpocketing and robbing people of their money all for some too good circus that didn't last long. I never wanted to part of my dad's life, but the day I raised a knife at him, as the day I ended up a different kind of criminal."

"An assassin. Like us." Millie said, but Benny shook his head, saying "No. Nothing like you guys. Take no offense to what I'm about to say, but I'm considered to be a real professional killer."

Moxxie replied. "None taken. We're not exactly to be called professionals anyway."

"Being an assassin like me, it's not something to be proud of. Sure, it came with benefits and helped to put food on the table, but the days I came home, battered, bruised, knife in hand and soaked in blood, my mother...my siblings...looked at me with fear, like I was some kind of...monster."

The I.M.P. members looked at each other, think about what Benny says, starting to feel a little bad for him.

"I tried my hardest to keep Blitzø and Barb away from this part of my life, and in the end, it got me killed. And I always talked to them about having options in their lives, and that they shouldn't go down the same path I did. And now, it seems in the end, they never listened to me as they've been put in the worst spots I never want to be in. I can't help but think that...it's all my-"

(Ringing)

That moment was interrupted when Loona pulled her phone and widened her eyes as she saw that it was message from her dad.

"Shit, that's Blitzø. We gotta go."

"Right." Moxxie then turned to Benny as they began leaving. "Ah, it was nice catching up to you, Benny, but Blitzø is waiting for some feedback on our hunt to kill you. So we gotta go and figure out what to tell him. Thanks again for dealing with Ozzie's."

"...If you really wish to thank me, you can start by telling me where Princess Stella is."

They paused as they remembered that his mission was kill Stella, and while there wasn't much they could give him, they figured that they still kinda owe him.

"Sorry, Benny. But we don't really know where she is-"

"But word is that she and Stolas are finally getting a divorce." Loona added, holding up her phone to show that it's true.

"Well...that's good to know, I guess." Benny said. "More likely she'll be alone...when I gut her."

The three were a little unnerved by that, but decided to just be on their, leaving Benny to wonder the city. He sure wasn't getting anywhere fast and sure didn't have an leads. What could he even do? Go and hunt down the entire Goetia Hierarchy and forcefully ask if they know where Stella is while beating them all up? When has that even worked out?

(INSERT DEADPOOL MONTAGE HERE)

A demon bird was thrown against a desk as Benny began beating them in the head. "Where's Stella?!" Benny yelled, but without getting any answers, he threw the Goetia member to the ground as one of their guards came and his him with a wooden club, yet Benny was unfazed as took that stuck and broke it over the demon guard's head before stabbing him in the gut with it. Another guard came in and shot at him from behind. The demon was shocked that he unloaded on Benny, and he was still standing, bringing out the bloody crowbar as he turned his attention towards the guard, once more asking "Where's Stella?"

Benny crossed out the name "Raum" of his list of Ars Goetia members. Don't worry, he leaves them alive, but they'll wish he didn't as parts of Raum were really messed up. That was one of the members...71 left to go if he was gonna get information out of them. But first, he looked down at his ruins shirt and jacket, realizing he cannot risk getting another work shirt ruined, he needed something else.

"I think I'm gonna enjoy where this is going." said Tom Virtue, who sipped a cup of bourbon as he watched Benny from a distance. The Imp was wearing a jacket of Black Scales and no shirt underneath as he walked to where his next target was. Caim, a President in the Goetia family was at a wine tasting when he saw his guard get effortlessly shoved out of the way by an Imp who, before the bird could react, shoved a dagger through his hand and pinned against a wall before the imp fired one of the guard's guns in the air to clear the area.

"Don't make me ask twice." Benny said, as he slammed Caim's palm and made the dagger cut through as he yelled in pain and fell to the ground, beginning to bleed as Benny pointed the gun at his head. "Where...is Stella?"

5 minutes later, he crosses off Caim's name off his list as he leaves the area with a down bird on the ground, smoking coming out of his head.

"He made me ask twice. What is wrong with these birds?"

Virtue was more than willing to help Benny's little scavenger hunt as he gave info on all the Ars Goetia members...except for Stella.

"Where's Stella?!" Was the same question Rorschach kept asking every member of the family he went after, and beat to a near inch of their life. "Where the fuck is Stella?!" He yelled, throwing Prince Sitri over an office table. None of the royal guards were able to stop him as he easily made short work of them. That's not to say Benny didn't have a little fun on this hunt, as he chased one Goetia member he brutally crippled down the street with a slow moving mehicle.

"Heh, heh, heh. Y-You're about to killed by a street sweeper!"

"Where is Stella?" He said to a female demon he threw at a stack of boxes. But she tried begging her for life as he brought out the knife. "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?" And then, another demon grabbed him behind, until he grabbed her off of him. "Little...spider monkey!"

He also got Marquis Amon while the demon was in the can and he didn't get anything out of Princes Sitri when slamming his head against a door. "Where. Is. Stella?!" He asked, until he heard a crack from the prince's skull.

Back to the those two girls he dealt with, he asked Virtue if he should really hit them. "It's a little confusing. Is is sexist to hit her? Is it more sexist to not her? I mean, the line gets really blurry." He asked before pointing a gun at her head.

"¿Dónde está la señora?" He asked in spanish one time while he was beating up guards. He did get close when he finished up with that Goetia member with the street sweeper.

"TELL ME WHERE THAT FUCKING BITCH IS, OR YOU'RE GONNA DIE..." But it turns out sweeper didn't go that fast since the Goetia member was still pretty far away. "IN FIVE MINUTES!"

And...he crossed Andras off the list. Later on, he was sitting at a bar, downing an ale

"Two days straight, over 20 of the Goetia and not a single one of them gave any whereabouts on Stella." Benny grumbled as he shared a drink with Virtue and the I.M.P. Team. "How could not even one of them give me a single clue about her?"

"Maybe it's because you kept smashing their faces when and not even getting them a chance to talk." Moxxie said bluntly before getting elbowed by Loona.

"Look on the bright side of things, Benny." said Virtue. "You, crippling a portion of her family is bound to get her attention. And once she's frightened, she'll easily come to you."

"That can't be guaranteed though."

"Well, given how you've dealt a blow to them all...or more accurately, several hundred, there is still one more Goetia member who I believe would be more than willing to spill the beans on his dear sister."

This intrigued Benny as took a look at a picture of who Virtue was talking about. Tall, blue colored...everything and with a drink in hand. Of course, why didn't he think of before he went all "Merc with the Mouth" on all those bird brains?

"Andrealphus. Should've figured as much my search would lead to him." Benny stated "Alright. Let's go see what that tipsy little pea-brain has to say about you-know-who."

For dramatic effect, Rorschach jams his dagger into the picture of the demonic blue bird.

Speaking of the woman in question, her Royal Ass-ness Stella was finishing up, clearing Stolas' manor of any of her belongings. She and her now former husband took it upon themselves to decimate and destroy anything their now shattered marriage.

"And that the last of it." She said, giving her luggage to some servants. "Pack these up with the rest, and try not to rubbish them. They're worth more than your life." She sighs before speaking to herself. "I thought Stolas would never have the stones to even try and break it up with me. But now that he has, it'll make his demise much sweeter."

However, just as she took one last glance at the manor, the TV suddenly flickered on in its own, revealing a revealing a News report...regarding the Ars Goetia.

"For the last two days already, somebody has been targeting the Ars Goetia Royal Family, seeming to go up the Hierarchy with every assault." Say the report, Tom Trench before his Co-Worker, Katie Killjoy retorts "Wow. Whoever's stupid to go against a Royal Family has a major death wish."

"I'd agree with you, Katie, but seeing as the assailant left his victims battered and bruised, and even in an death-like state, something tells me this guy knows what he's doing."

"Oh please, it couldn't all be that fucking bad. Let's hear from some of the Bird Bitches how it went for them."

Stella was shocked to see many of the Goetia's most finest and even most feared Family Members...hooked up to monitors, their faces covered in bruises and bandages, same for their body. Some even look traumatized as they were muttering something about pain and a...monster?

"He came in so fast. The next thing I knew, I was having my face smashed in."

"My wings...he ruined my glorious wi-ACK!" That bird's beak cracked.

"It's hard to believe that a demon as low as an imp was able to carry out so much pain and suffering!"

"An Imp?" Stella asked with widened eyes.

"He came at me with a knife. I swore I've seen that blade before. Melted my skin like was snow on a hot poker."

"That little shit was a freak of nature! Killed all my guards, left me crippled and bleeding out into the streets!"

"He made me watch as he killed my beloved pet, all while he was asking that same stupid question!"

"He kept asking to me, 'Where's Stella? 'Where's Stella?' I don't even know who that bitch is?

Stella's eyes widened when she heard that, making her take a step back as she realized that she was now being targeted for assassination.

"He was talking about Stolas' wife! And I don't even know her that well."

"If he'd stop trying to kill me, I would've talked!"

"Whatever reason why he wants Stella's angry bitch...I'm sure it's for a good reason and that she deserves it."

"I'm not sticking out for that angry, choking, crap throwing whore! She'll get what's coming to her!"

"That demon could do whatever he wants with Stella the moment her gets her! Satan knows she's had it coming!"

Now they cut back to Katie and Tom, the former of the two a little wide eyed and the latter looking a bit unnerved by all that.

"Wow. Okay. Looks like Princess Stella's gonna have her hands full with a single demon that's out for her blood." Katie says. "Too bad for her that no one's wishing her luck. There will be more on that story soon enough."

And with that, the TV turns off on its own. This is clearly an Omen to Stella that something she's done wrong has come back to haunt her. That demon will stop at nothing to ensure her days are numbered and she had no one to blame but herself...or does she? At this point, she could only put the blame on the one she despises the most.

"...SSSSSTOOOOOOLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSS!!!"
