Hell, Imp City
"Fucking finally, can we leave now?" Loona had her face in her phone and she wanted nothing more than to be anywhere but the I.M.P office.
''No Loona! Just because the movie is over doesn't mean the fun is! After all, the fun is only halfway over when the Voxflix ends, next comes the chilling" Blitzo clapped his hands together and turned off the small tv his associates had been watching. He turned to his workers and when he got a disturbed look from Moxxie he gave the imp a playful wink. It was Fun Friday at the office and Blitzo hadn't spared any expense. Of course Millie was eating it all up, literally she was on her third bag of popcorn. On the other hand, Loona and Moxxie looked like they would rather be anywhere else. Loona was forced to go no matter what because whether she liked it or not Blitzo did pay the bills. Moxxie couldn't say no to Millie and so here they were. "We have…..board games!" shouted Blitzo as he grabbed a few games from the table behind them. Millie clapped her hands and smiled encouragingly at her husband but even with that he couldn't force a smile.
"Are you kidding me sir?'' Moxxie rolled his eyes and began to stand up. Moxxie preferred professionalism, and scrabble was the opposite of that. "We are coming into the office tomorrow; I need to go home and get some rest.''
''Oh come on Mox, it's scrabble!" Millie wrapped her tail around Moxxie's hand in an attempt to keep him there. He looked at Millie, took a deep breath, and sat back down. Arms crossed and a frown on his face, finally Moxxie nodded and Bltizo's face lit up.
''That is more like it. I thought you were going to shit on this party like always. If that had been the case well, I'll save these for later" Blitzo set a bottle of sleep pills to the side and crossed his arms. His smirk only widened as it became clear Moxxie wasn't able to go anywhere. The mild-mannered imp just glared at his boss but said nothing else. Happy with his win, Blitzo grabbed the scrabble game and set it on the table as the others turned their chairs to face it. Millie first, followed by Moxxie, and lastly Loona turned her chair to face Moxxie…..without raising her eyes from her phone. She was seeing some weird stuff on Voxstagram, specifically angel sightings. It was strange but hell was a weird place, so she didn't pay it too much thought.
''So how exactly do you play scrabble?" Asked millie as she sat up on her knees so the little imp could actually see the board. As Millie spoke blitzo took out seven tiles and tossed them to Moxxie. He did the same for Loona but once he turned to Millie he smiled.
''It's simple Mills, I'm gonna give you seven tiles and you try to make a word on the board. But don't you fucking try to make a word that isn't off the starter word!" Blitzo pointed an accusatory finger at the female imp and she raised her hands in surrender.
''Okie dokie! I'll let you guys go first so I understand it a bit better.'' As millie spoke Blitzo gave her seven tiles and then created a word at the center of the board. Once he was done he practically fell onto the floor from laughter. Loona glanced at the word and rolled her eyes, Millie giggled and blushed a bit, but Moxxie….he became rather angry.
''Really sir? That is very mature, and I'm fairly sure it is supposed to only be one word.'' Moxxie crossed his arms and glared at the board. The starter word was clearly a callout to insult Moxxie, the board read 'Spineless Jackass' in reference to what one of their previous targets had called him. That had been an interesting day for the business as a whole
''Oh shut the fuck up Mox, the rules are whatever I want them to be." Blitzo chuckled and looked at him as the group waited for Moxxie to place a word. The imp looked through his tiles and decided on a small word. 'cat' was all he could put on the board, and this got a rise out of blitzo. "nice play buddy, a solid three points.'' Blitzo slapped Moxxie's back and kept on chuckling.
''Okay sir, thank you for your input. Loona I believe it is your turn.'' Said Moxxie as he pointed at the taller hellhound. She didn't look up from her phone or pick up any of her tiles. "Do you want to pass or place a word?" Asked Moxxie as he smacked the table. Loona continued to ignore him and Millie put a hand on his shoulder to calm him down. "come on loona hurry up!"
''I'm thinking, and if you tell me to hurry again, I will shove these scrabble tiles up your ass.'' Loona spoke without looking up and she raised a hand to flip the imp off. Again the hellhound saw a weird post on Voxstagram, this time it seemed to be closer to their location. The post was a blurry video, but it looked like an angel flying through the sky. She raised an eyebrow as Blitzo stood up from the table.
''Well you all look like you're having a blast. I'll go grab us some drinks. I saw dave just a few minutes ago, that lazy bastard never works early. Buuuutt him being here means he just loaded the vending machines. So it should have all your favorites. Let's see….loona loves her fruit punch just like her old man, millie….you're a grape gal, and Moxxie is…..coke ughhhhh.'' Blitzo rolled his eyes and made his way towards the door to the buildings hallway. "Imagine liking fucking coke, what a complete and utter-'' There was a thump against the door and blitzo tilted his head in confusion. "that you out there dave?" Asked Blitzo as he opened the door. An imp's corpse slid to the floor Infront of him and Blitzo's eyes widened. "What the fu—'' he was cut off as a blade pierced his side and knocked him back into the I. small room of business. The other employees were all shocked by the scene. Blitzo clutched his side as black blood dripped all over his clothes. ''shit….'' Muttered the imp as he stumbled away from the entrance. His employees looked on in horror, still shocked by the scene as Blitzo fell to the floor. The black blood soaked the floor as an eerie silence fell upon the I.M.P organization.
''S-sir?" Mumbled Moxxie as he looked down at his boss. It began to dawn on them what was happening as the shock slowly died away.
''what in tarnation!" Shouted Millie as she began to stand from her chair and go to his side. As millie rushed to help her boss the beings who hurt him stepped into the office space. They were tall and slender angels dawned in armor similar to exterminators. Loona was the last to react because she had been looking down at her phone, and her reaction seemed the most cynical. instead of yelling, crying, or even laughing Loona just took a picture of the angels. Once the picture was snapped, she looked down at her adoptive father and anger boiled up inside of her. That anger found a target when the group of angels stepped forward and looked down at the group of demons. In a moment the angels had the small hell made creatures surrounded. The largest and brightest angel crouched down so he was eye level with the group. Millie, who was beside the wounded Blitzo and also the closest to the angels, looked up at the creatures as tears ran down her cheeks. "Why did you do this?!" shouted Millie as she held blitzo in her arms.
''Shhh, quiet Mills, you're yelling in….m-my ear.'' Whispered Blitzo as he struggled to stay awake. Millie looked back down at her boss and a pained smile reached her face.
"Sorry boss, I'm like a bull in a china shop.'' She stroked Blitzo's face and hushed him so he would save his strength. While she was trying to help him, an angel raised his hands.
''Do not cry my foul creature of the void, your suffering is at an end, for soon you shall be slain by a holy being.'' The angel known as Gabriel raised his exterminator blade but before he could cut down Millie, shots rang out and he dropped the blade. Moxxie had a pistol in his hand and the barrel had a stream of smoke coming off it. Tears streamed down his eyes and his hand shook as he held the weapon. He never thought he would be face to face with an angel, and he was afraid. His fear was gnawing its way out of him but with Millie on the line he had to push it back down. The imp was still sitting behind the table, the scrabble game in front of him, and he fired the gun again this time till its magazine was empty. The angels beside Gabriel snapped into action but Moxxie's attack had given both Loona and Millie enough time to come to their senses and they struck first. Loona used her animalistic rage to turn into her true demonic form. She practically doubled in size, and now on all fours, jumped at the angels. Although they were the elite death squad of god himself, an enraged hellhound was strong, stronger than they could handle in close quarters. Not to mention that millie had stood up and turned one of the office desk chairs into a club, using it on the angel closest to her. The angels weren't ready for imps to fight back with such competence. Gabriel clutched his chest and backed away as another of his crew was nearly ripped in half by Loona. "You dare challenge the lord our god!" shouted Gabriel as he raised his exterminator blade and threw it at Loona. The blade pierced her bicep and she howled in pain. As she went down the other exterminators were able to best both Millie and Moxxie. One grabbed Moxxie while he attempted to reload his pistol and another kicked Millie which knocked her back to the floor. It seemed the fight was over and all the workers of I.M.P were doomed to fade into nothing. "You foul, pathetic, monstrous creatures. I will smite you into nothing….personally." Gabriel's voice was dark and malicious. He held out his hand and another angel gave him a blade. Moxxie tried to crawl towards Millie but as he moved an angel stepped on his chest and kept him pinned down.
''Hey gimpy!'' a voice called out from behind Gabriel and when the angel turned, he was faced with Blitzo. During the fight, the imp had struggled to keep himself alive and reach a group of weapons, specifically grenades. ''loona, you are in charge of keeping my horsie safe. I love you.'' Said Blitzo as he released the handle and pulled the pin on the grenade. Before Gabriel could move the room lit up and everything turned white.
