SEVERAL MINUTES LATER

''wake up hunny! Come on mox, we need to get outta here!" Moxxie ears rang as he was shook back and forth. He opened his eyes and put a hand to his head. It was pounding and he struggled to remember what had happened. As the room stopped spinning, he was able to make out Loona across the room and Millie standing beside him. His wife was pulling at his arms and trying to pull him up.

''Millie? What happened, was it loona? Oh man did Blitzo prank us?" Asked Moxxie as he was helped up by Millie. When Moxxie looked Millie in the eyes it became clear that something terrible had happened, Moxxie looked back at loona and realized what the hellhound was doing. She was using her unwounded leg to smash an angel's head beneath her foot. The anger and pain in Loona's eyes snapped Moxxie back to reality and his eyes widened. "wait….blitzo''

''Come on Loona! We need to leave!" shouted Millie as she pulled Moxxie towards the door. She grabbed Loona as well and the three ran away from the destroyed office. The grenade had hurt and slowed the angels, and Loona had somehow managed to kill two. But there was still three angels coming after them. The group didn't make it far before Loona cried out in pain and fell to her knee.

"Fucker got my leg, I…'' Loona trailed off as it became clear that she wasn't going to make it out of this. "…you two go, I'll….i'll hold them off.''

''Loona I—" Millie tried to talk but she choked up and turned away. The bruiser of I.M.P began to run again but Moxxie didn't move.

''No, get your ass up. I'll carry you if I have to." Said Moxxie as he grabbed Loona's arm and put her weight on his shoulders. The hellhound was nearly twice his size, but he managed to hold her weight and the three made it out of the office and into the street. "Which way?" Asked Moxxie as he looked at his wife and then up at loona. Loona was on her phone, struggling to type out something on social media. Her paw was bloodied and the phone screen cracked, but getting the message out was far to important to fail. As she hit send on her phone glass shattered behind them.

"wherever we are going we need to get there now!" shouted Loona as the trio began moving again.

''I don't know about y'all, but I'm so mad I could spit!'' Millie spoke with an excited anger. This was like nothing she had ever seen before, she wasn't well kept up with politics and had no idea why angels would attack them. "I reckon our best bet is to run for the hills. If we can just keep moving, we ca-'' Millie didn't get to finish her idea, and there was no sound as black blood splattered against Moxxie and Loona. A blade had been thrown into Millie's chest and pierced the imps body. It was quick for her, in an instant the light and joy Millie brought…was snuffed out. She fell and as she did everything else faded for Moxxie. He let go of Loona and ran over to his wife. He held her lifeless body in his arms and struggled to even process.

''M-millie, no….no no no. It can't happen to you. It should be me, why….'' Moxxie's breathing began to quicken as he looked down at his wife. The memories, the dreams they had, everything was gone in that one moment. There was no hope, there was nothing. His millie had been taken from him. As Moxxie tried to comprehend what had happened Gabriel stepped out from where he had been. His mask was burnt and half destroyed. The half of his face that could be seen had a wicked smile upon it.

"Yes, suffer demon. Suffer as you have, and as you will.'' Gabriel held up his hand to stop his exterminators from killing Loona or the mild-mannered imp. ''not….yet, you both deserve to suffer. So I want you to think about your companions, how existence is behind them.''

There was no noise still, Moxxie couldn't hear anything. He just looked down at Millie's cold face and began to cry. His tears dripped down onto her cheeks, and as they did Moxxie began to sing her song. "Of all the….imps in hell, it's for you that I fell….Oh Millie." Moxxie closed her eyes as he sang and in a single motion he grabbed the exterminator blade that was still stabbed in her chest. He ripped it from her and in a stabbing motion lunged at Gabriel, but he was to slow. Gabriel used his long arm to grab the blade and he kicked Moxxie back to the floor. The angel's booming laughter filled the streets as he looked at the bloodied blade.

''You dare try to taint me with the blood of an imp? No no, your kinds blood only belongs on the tip of my spear.'' Gabriel swung the blade around and put it to Moxxie's throat. The imp glanced at Loona who was pinned by the other angels, and with one last look at Millie he closed his eyes and smiled. ''yes! Smile you imp, it is time for god's judgement!" Gabriel raised the blade to decapitate Moxxie. The small imp tensed as he waited for the strike, but it never came. Instead a gunshot rang out and as Moxxie opened his eyes he looked up to see a huge hole in Gabriel's chest. The angel dropped the blade and stumbled back. Another shot rang out and Gabriel's shoulder was blown away. He fell to the floor as his angel's let go of Loona and rushed towards attackers that were behind Moxxie. When he turned to look at what was happening, he was met with a sight unexpected. Unlike his wife, Moxxie was very political so he recognized the three overlords standing before him. Velvet stood before them and used two blades to rip an angel apart when she had the angel on the floor she began to carve a face into its chest. Beside Velvet stood Valentino and he had the only living angel under his boot. He used his cane to smash the exterminator's skull and in one last shriek it was over.

''Looks like the tip was right, good work velvet darling.'' Said Valentino as he swung his cane back and forth.

''Sure thing daddy! I know how much you love angels.'' Said velvet as she jumped up and used the angel's blood to paint a smiley face on the wall beside them. ''You and voxy always go to heaven without me, so I haaaddd to get in on this.''

''velvet, val, come on. We have work to do.'' A staticky voice sounded from behind Moxxie and he turned to see the TV overlord Vox standing over Gabriel with a huge high-powered rifle in his hand. "velvet, deal with any social media about this situation. We don't want god thinking we did this. Val, grab the goods.'' Valentino nodded and began to tear the pieces of armor off the dead angels. Moxxie and Loona remained on the floor just dumbfounded that they were in the presence of these overlords. Loona was amazed that her plan to alert someone had actually worked. Their thoughts were interrupted as a cough erupted from Gabriel.

''How dare you, do you know what go—'' He was cut off as Vox put the gun to his skull and pulled the trigger. In an instant gabriel's head was red paste on the concrete.

''Loona, are….are you okay?" asked Moxxie as he shook his head and began to calm down. His panic attack and the shock were subsiding. Before Loona could respond Velvet skipped over to them and pointed a knife down at the imp and hellhound.

''What about these two voxy? Should I kill them? Oh I love the fight in a good hellhound. They can be so wild sometimes." Said Velvet as she tilted her head back and forth. Her sinister smile saw right through Loona and Moxxie, it was clear how powerful she and the other overlords were. Before vox spoke Valentino joined Velvet and looked down at them. His look wasn't sinister, but more lustful. It made Moxxie quite uncomfortable.

''Hmm I hate to waste goods like this. A traumatized imp and a wounded hellhound? Well cuties like that could fetch a good price back home. Demons could want them vox….i know I do.'' Valentino winked as the TV demon walked over and pushed both velvet and Valentino away.

''Leave them be, we aren't killing them, and we aren't taking them. Now grab these angels gear and get going.'' Vox glared at the other two overlords and they didn't try to challenge him. When they were a good distance away vox crouched down so he was on the level of Loona and Moxxie. "I don't know what you two did to piss off the man upstairs. But it isn't going to stop, you are both dead. I'm not leaving you alive because I'm nice. If I let val take you then we become a target and if we kill you here, well I refuse to do god's work.'' Vox stood up and snapped his fingers. In a few seconds velvet, vox, and Valentino were gone and the two I.M.P employees were left alone.

''Moxxie, I am so sorry….millie" Started Loona as she looked her coworkers corpse. She and Millie hadn't seen eye to eye, but Loona had seen her as a friend. Moxxie didn't respond to her, instead he stood up and held his hand out. Loona looked up at him and grabbed hold of the hand he offered. He helped the wounded hellhound up and when she looked at him again his eyes were dark. Any sense of joy or sanity was gone from Moxxie. He knew he was dead, but he wouldn't go quietly.

''We hurt them, we hurt heaven loona.'' Moxxie grabbed her arm and looked up at her. "You and I, we will make god hurt.''

''Moxxie, I am hurting to. Blitzo, he….'' Loona trailed off as she looked back at the office. "…how are we going to hurt god?"

''Like Vox said, we are dead. So we do what we can with the time we've got.'' An evil smile reached Moxxie's face as he thought about what they could do. "We use the Grimoire, we go to earth, and we kill as many humans as we can. That is what caused this right? One of our targets went to heaven and told god about us. So we kill as many humans as we can. We cause a panic." Moxxie began to laugh, it was a strange mix of his panicked state and his calm attitude.

''Moxxie, what about….your views on innocence?" Loona asked with a nervous quiver in her voice. She never thought she'd be afraid of Moxxie, but the way he sounded now. It was crazy.

''That all changed when they killed….Millie.'' He walked over to his wife and picked her up. Moxxie carried her in his arms and a few tears streamed from his eyes as he began to walk towards the I.M.P office. "Millie was my heaven, they took that away from me. So I will try to take it from them. We cause a panic in the living world and in heaven! We will make them hurt, are you with me loona?" Moxxie stopped and looked back at the hellhound. Moxxie wasn't going to hide in some hole and wait for his death. He wanted revenge and he was going to get it whether Loona helped or not.

''Why the fuck not." Loona shrugged her shoulders and limped after Moxxie. Together they were going to rock every plane of existence.
