"What about Darkhold? Who the fuck is that?" Blitzo asked, sticking his elbow into Moxxie's skull to rest on him.

"Well, you see-

Out of nowhere, music started playing loudly making the demons look at each other. Stolas chuckled loudly and reached into his pocket. He pulled out his phone and frowned a little bit.

"I have to take this Blitzy," he said, leaning down, giving him a quick peck on his forehead.

"Eh- gross Stolas! The fuck!"

Stolas switched back to the blonde human form named Agent Three and walked off, answering the phone.

Agent One and Agent Two came back in after Stolas left the room. The two of them looked a little wary of the four demons but they made no comments upon standing beside them. The two humans stood there trying to be civil and composed but that just wouldn't do.

Blitzo leaned in towards Agent Two giving her a mischievous grin. She cocked an eyebrow at him, leaning away from him into Agent One's personal space.

"You wanna- ya know…. Compare?"

"Compare what?" she asked, looking skeptical.

Agent One made a face.

"Compare notes on dick size."

"Excuse you?" she hissed, her cheeks trying bright red.

"I mean come on. I know you had to hit that at least once!"

Agent One stepped away, looking uncomfortable.

"Hit- what? Who are you talking about?"

"My man Stolas. You fucked that blonde guy right? The way you got all happy to see his ass and all. You hit that shit and hit it hard didn't ya?"
"Sir- I don't think that's a good idea since we were just fighting to the death not that long ago!" Moxxie hissed loudly.

"Come on- what were you two? Fuck buddies, friends with dirty benefits- dating maybe-

Agent Two was fuming now and shaking with rage and biting her lip hard enough to make it bleed.

"I hit the demon part, I just wanna know how the human part fucks to see if it's similar-

"Sir-

"YOU ASSHOLE HE'S MY BROTHER!"

"Ewww that's fuckin' kinky-

BBBBBBBZZZZZZTTTTTTT

Everyone jumped as Agent Two tazed Blitzo into the ground, bright red like a tomato and snarling like an angry dog.

"ASSHOLE!"

"Blitzo!" Millie cried, slapping her hands to her face in shock.

"That was all him this time. I tried," Moxxie said, holding up his hands in defense.

Loona looked up from her phone for a few seconds and rolled her eyes.

"That was definitely all his fault."

Blitzo continued to twitch on the ground while Agent Two went in a corner to herself to cool off.

"Holy shit," Agent One breathed under his breath.

"Hello?"

"Prince Stolas."

"Ah, yes? Can I help you Council?" Stolas asked, leaning against the wall with his free hand in pocket.

"We're shocked to see you out of retirement. What has occurred?"

"You mean you don't know yet?"

"Don't know what you speak of your highness."

"Darkhold is back and you all promised we had rid of coldfire magic and everything else to do with it. The rest would be left in Hell and hidden…. So how in the hell did he show up again?!"

No response.

"You had no idea-

"I'm afraid not."

"What do you plan on doing about this? You already failed in separating me from this human body!"

"I am sorry Stolas. We all are."

"What is the plan since you neglected to pay attention!"

"We can work with you to fix this-

"Oh, you want me to fix this? Again?"

"We have no choice. We apologize your highness."

Stolas groaned, feeling annoyed. He had accepted that he had to keep that human body and so he refused to use it until this happened. It was annoying and not even Stella knew about it and neither did Octavia. Sometimes it would pop up when he sneezed occasionally but it had never been an issue.

"Can you go to one of the control rooms and input your password?"

"Yes."

Stolas pushed off the wall and stormed toward room 1-M. He locked the door after he slammed it shut in a rage. He placed the phone down and started typing. Two of the screens lit up showing the members of Council. The shadows stood motionlessly on the screen but it was a live feed.

"You may hang up now."

The prince had to resist the urge to throw the cell phone. He hung up and shoved the phone into his pocket.

"Get to the point."

"We were unaware of the coldfire magic. We were following these demons."

The three other screens lit up showing clips of I.M.P killing and jumping through portals. Stolas watched closely but most of them were legit videos of Blitzo. If Stolas didn't have blood pressure issues then he sure as hell did now. He rubbed his temples, cursing under his breath. The Council waited for the prince to say something. It was obvious the demon prince was in distress.

"Blitzo is my…. Companion."

There was no other way to say it for now. After Stella left, Blitzo almost treated him like a boyfriend but there was no way to label it right now. He didn't want to stress how important the tall imp was just in case.

"Ah. You were aware of what they were doing?"

"Yes. I allowed them to conduct business. You don't recognize the grimoire?"

The shadows moved finally, glancing at each other.

"We apologize Stolas."

"You can see the coldfire magic on those look-alikes! These ones are genuine but Agent One and Agent Two showed me coldfire videos and even the imps were able to identify the imposters so you apparently need to train your people better!" he snapped.

"We'll get into looking at it, your highness. You are correct…. We only saw the demons but we didn't pry any further than that- only considering coldfire was supposed to be gone."

"What are you going to do about this? Your people attack what is mine and a good bit of your people were slaughtered. What do you plan to do about this?"

"We can take all the videos of your companions down and use them to study our files."

"My biggest issue hasn't even been addressed yet."

The Council fell silent.

"If the videos were only under your possession, how did Darkhold find out about them? He would have to have dozens of videos to make sure they were exactly alike to place blame on my people."

"We can investigate and find out if there was any unofficial footage of them. We'll give you a call."

"Fine. Goodbye."

The screens all flickered off at once.

"Agent Three."
Stolas turned around to see Agent One standing there alone. Stolas' eyes were glowing red with rage.

"For what it's worth- welcome back. We did miss you after all."

The prince gave him a small smile.

"Thanks One."

Stolas switched back to his original form, fluffing out his feathers. He walked over to Agent One and held out his hand. The dark haired man shook it with a smile.

"I mean it…. Thank you, old friend."

"Of course."

X
"Hey, you ok old man?" Loona asked, kneeling beside her adoptive dad.

"Ugh…. that was one strong ass taser. Fuckkkkkk."

Loona snorted with a grin on her face. Millie glanced over at Agent Two who looked highly uncomfortable. She wouldn't look at them after all the things Blitzo had said.

"So, um…. Agent Two."

The blonde woman's head snapped to the side to stare at her.

"What?"

"What does D.H.O.R.K.S. stand for exactly?" Millie asked, trying to clear the tension.

Moxxie gave her a weird look. Agent Two went to open her mouth to answer when Stolas walked in as Agent Three.

"Demon Hunting and Occult Research Kill Squad."

Agent Two straightened up seeing him.

"What's going on now?" she asked, placing her hands behind her back.

"Get everyone in here."

Agent One nodded, "Allow me. Agent Two, stay here with Three."

It only took a few minutes for agents to filter in, creating a sea of black suits. Stolas leaned in closer to Agent Two.

"After this, you and One need to try for a white suit. You've done more than enough to earn it."

Agent Two smiled and nodded.

"We'll see."

Stolas smirked and glanced back at Blitzo who looked uncomfortable with all the agents in there.

"Don't worry Blitzy. You four are in the clear for now."

"Um, thanks Stolas."

The prince gave him a slight nod and turned around, placing his sunglasses on.

"That's everyone…. Who is left anyways," Agent One said, taking his place by Agent Two.

"Thank you, One."

"Front and center everyone!" Agent One said loudly.

The room became dead quiet.

"We have new orders everyone. This is a high priority now and we have to track down all coldfire items, magic and creations. Agent Two will lead the research team on the videos that have been captured. We will leave no room for error. Agent One will lead the other team, tracking down the places they have been to find out if there is a pattern."

He looked over at everyone.

"If you come across Darkhold, do not engage alone. Send your location so we may act appropriately. Is this clear?"

"Yes sir!" they said loudly and in unison.

"Our ultimate goal is to destroy anything coldfire. Anyone who tries to keep any of it will be taken care of by me, is that understood?"

"Yes sir!"

"Holy shit, that's kind of hot," Blitzo said to Millie who snickered.

Agent Two gave Blitzo a dirty look.

All the agents divided up and left the room to leave the five demons alone once more. Stolas switched back to his normal form. He ran a black hand through his feathers looking a little tired and annoyed. He definitely looked older than any other time Blitzo had seen him.

"What do we do now?" Moxxie asked, taking Millie's hand, "Should we go back home?"

"Actually…. I wanted to ask and if it wouldn't be too much trouble," the prince started.

"Fucking christ," Blitzo muttered.

The owl demon gave him an exacerbated look before continuing on.

"You may continue your normal everyday work but I would like your assistance on this… I have an odd feeling that I will need extra help on this."

"How can we help your highness when we know nothing about your issues with Darkhold or coldfire magic? All we know is it mimics imps so far and you were dragged to Earth because of it."

"Yea, you haven't told us shit for us to even discuss if we want to or not!"

Stolas ran a hand on his favorite's imp's horn.

"If I tell you, it stays between us. It's a hidden secret…. Something my family isn't too proud of and even Stella knows nothing about it."

Even Loona looked slightly impressed.

"OOOOOO give us the juicy details!"

A weird clicking noise filled the room. All five of them turned to see Agent Two with her taser gun again with a pissed off look on her face. Blitzo snapped his mouth shut and crossed his arms.

"Thank you Agent Two," Stolas said with a sly smile, "Is everything ok?"

She only nodded and leaned against the wall.

"Everyone on their assignments?"

"Yes sir."

"Thank you."

The prince turned to face his demon companions.

"It has been watered down through the years to protect our family so even almost all the secrets are hidden from me as well but….. Eons ago, a member of the Ars Goetia of demon royalty some time after they rose to power…. A member of my family decided to meet up with a heavenly member- some say it was an angel…. Others say it was something almost close to God himself but it always ended up the same way.

"Some say my ancestor was looking for a way out of Hell. Some say they were looking to overthrow Lucifer and others say they had fallen in love from afar…. Whatever the reason was, it wasn't good. I don't know if it was a way to unite those in Heaven and those in Hell or what it was for but they tried to create a new magic combining the powers of Heaven and Hell. I suppose God didn't want the two planes to come together for a reason but the biggest one was when coldfire was created, it nearly destroyed both planes."

Stolas sat down, looking up at the half destroyed ceiling.

"The clash of power created an even worse version of coldfire. They made it as stable as they could. I had heard they had tried different measures of powers almost like a recipe but the biggest thing was that heavenly powers were always more powerful than hellish powers. I'm not sure what measure there was between them but the most common rumor was they used half of each creating coldfire. Apparently it was stable for a bit until the powers tried to override the other…."

"That sounds troublesome," Moxxie said quietly.

"Oh it was. My ancestor took all the blame apparently. That's all I had heard on that… that's what caused some of them to think the two were in love. I suppose the punishment on the heavenly being would've been worse than any punishment my ancestor would've gotten. The worst part was that pieces of it landed on Earth. The family members at the time were divided on the matter but they had managed to find most of it. At least until Darkhold had gotten his hands on it. Coldfire isn't something humans should be able to use but they can for whatever reason."

"How did he get it?" Luna asked, placing her phone in her pocket.

"I have no idea. I don't even know what he wants to use it for. I was told before that only those who are descendants of the creators can wield it. I heard from someone else that they had to be certain demons or angelic beings. Like I said, there weren't any straight answers. No one here knows either. That's why I was pissed when I was pulled from my home. Apparently coldfire requires the use of Goetia demons. I fear he may drag Octavia into this. I do not want that."

The prince looked at I.M.P.

"I do a lot more than working on coldfire issues with Darkhold though. I've taken care of zombies, witches and even vampires. You would be amazed at the things that live here but humans fear them so they hide away from the public eye. Humans are silly little creatures but then there are some that rise above that…. Like the humans from D.H.O.R.K.S. of course."

Stolas stood up slowly.

"Agent Two…. you can leave. You four, find the break room and stay in there for a short bit. I'll come get you when I'm ready."

"Yes sir."

Agent Two left then I.M.P followed after. Stolas walked out a few minutes after everyone else left. He needed the time to walk alone. Too much has happened today and he needed a break. He rubbed his temples and went down several halls until he found his old locker. It sat alone of course. It was protected by his own magic that no one in D.H.O.R.K.S. could break it.

His hand glowed bright blue and the locker swung open.

Stolas pulled out a cyan colored box and opened it. It had been a bittersweet feeling, holding the box and opening it again after all this time. Inside was a worn out jutte and Kan'ei Tsūhō rolled up in a dark blue cloth. He opened it up to see the worn out owl symbols on it.

Bittersweet indeed.

He walked down the halls with the cyan colored box in his hands, switching back to the form of Agent Three in his signature white suit. He found the break room where Loona was shaking the vending machine and Blitzo was using his tail to steal snacks. Stolas pursed his lips at first before smiling.

"I see you're getting something to eat. Wise choice."

The four of them froze. It was still weird to hear the prince's voice coming from a human body.

"What's in the box?" Blitzo asked.

"Ah, my sweet Blitzy…. It's something I thought I would never use again."

Stolas placed it on one of the breakroom tables and opened it. The imps peered in but Loona stayed in her seat with her phone in her paws.

"What are those used for?" Millie asked with a curious look pointing at the coins with owls.

"Ah, I would need a volunteer for a demonstration."

"Oh-

Blitzo shoved Moxxie forward, "He will!"

"Oh, yes. Moxxie, could you stand against the wall please?"

The small imp nodded nervously. He did as the owl demon asked. It was like a flash of lightning with how fast he moved. The coins embedded into the wall, making an outline of Moxxie who looked a few shades lighter in the face.

"Oh! My siblings did that kind of thing to Moxxie all the time but with knives!" Millie said with a grin before grabbing Moxxie from the wall.

Stolas grinned, "Ah yes. The coins can be deadly if used correctly but it definitely hurts and you can stun someone with them."

"That was definitely hot as fuck," Blitzo said looking at Stolas.

Stolas chuckled, " Well, this is more for you to see once the ball starts rolling."
