After dinner, Cody felt proud of himself for winning the pig race. Looking at his first place trophy, he knew that it would be quite a tale to tell to his children (if he has kids someday). Too bad Tommy wasn't there to see him perform the race, but Loona probably got it on video during the whole conflict.

His big brother would be very proud of him. Another thing on the kids' mind was Chop the demon pig. He knows that he belongs in Millie's family ranch with his brethren, but it's like that pig had bonded with him like a parrot had bonded with his experienced owner.

Of course this kind of place wouldn't be a proper place for a pig, especially one that is as tall as a Great Dane. At least the demon pig was happy in the ranch with his own kind, and Cody thought that he would probably hit it off with Fat Nuggets, Angel Dust' pet, if they ever met in the flesh. Still, the boy had thirty grand left from the prize money and wondered what else he can do with it. This kind of thing would require a lot of thinking like what he would actually want in his entire life, like something that would be his lifelong dream. "I'll think of something i might buy." Cody said in his head. "I just probably need to take a moment and let it come to me."

The boy didn't notice Loona coming in as he was thinking deep on what he wanted next from this money. "Hey kiddo." then he jumped in fright. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you."

"It's ok. I was just thinking on what i should do with my prize money next." then he looked at her. "What was it like on the motorcycle?"

"Cody, it was awesome." Loona smiled. "I've never felt so free in my life. Now I can get away from Blitzo more often than i want to without him hovering over me so much. It's like I am taking a vacation from that midget. But, wanna take a ride with me on it?"

The kids' eyes widened and said: "I never been on a motorcycle before. Sure."

"Might wanna put this on just in case." Loona gave him a helmet to protect his head and they both went out in the parking lot so Cody can enjoy some time on the motorcycle with his adopted sister.

"Now Loony, try not to go too fast that the bike will go out of control." Blitzo sounded like a worried parent to her. "Satan knows what would happen if you crack your skull open."

"Shup up, Blitzo. I am wearing a helmet since you worry to much... as always." the female hellhound rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Wish you would stop being a helicopter dad over me all the time."

"Sorry. You're my daughter and I love you." Blitzo said.

Loona paused and felt touched, but she shook her head, immediately brushing off what Blitzo said to her. "Don't make me break your neck." she said in irritation. "Come on, Cody. "Let's fire the motorcycle up."

"OK." Cody smiled. He hopped on behind her in the backseat, gently grabbed hold of Loona as she put on her helmet as she revved the machine as she twist the keys in the ignition. The sound of the revving blasted in Cody's ears, but it was something he would get used to later on as he gets on it long enough. As soon as Loona got on the road, Cody was having the time of his life, and he was feeling the great, fast velocity on the motorcycle.

It was almost like a rollercoaster ride, without the straps or handles to restrain him. The best part of this was: No speed limit!

Cody was looking and smiling at the beauty (or some kind of beauty) of the Pride Ring as he was behind Loona. Many demons as far as the eye can see of many kinds. Movie theaters, some schools, a few bowling alleys. Many cars and vehicles zoomed by the motorcycle on the other side of the road. Yes, riding on a motorcycle was a blast. "You ever been on this before, Cody?" Loona shouted to him.

"No! First time!" Cody called back to her. "Mom and dad would have never let me go on this thing. Mom hates motorcycles! Tommy asked for one but she said she would never give that to him for Christmas!"

Loona laughed. "Typical mom being mom." She rode on as Cody was looking at more interesting things in downtown Pride. So many skyscrapers, so many busy roads, streets, restaurants, and other things one would find in a big city. It was a bustling metropolis down here in the Pride Ring, even if it is a place for sinners to stay for all eternity. Even the most run-down places can have some kind of beauty to them. All one had to do was look for them in the least likely of places

Loona herself was having the time of her life enjoying her new gift. With a motorcycle, she had far more freedom in her life than she ever did before. It was a perfect getaway from Blitzo when she wanted to get away from him. She drove for miles and miles and Cody was still enjoying the motion of being on the motorcycle. He knew that if his mother saw this; she would just flip out and have a nervous breakdown and scream "MY BABY!" if she saw him doing this kind of thing.

While she only had this baby for a short while, Loona was already getting the hang of this cool ride, and she felt thirsty after riding on the thing for almost an hour. At least, she and Cody stopped at a nearby convenience store not far from the apartment, and got themselves a nice drink to sip from. The thing barely lost any gas from the acceleration, in fact; this motorcycle only lost one percent of full fuel. This thing sure had good gas mileage.

After another half an hour through many parts of Sin City, Loona decided to have enough and call it a night. "I take it you like the motorcycle?"

"Like?" said Loona. "I love it!" then she hugged her adopted brother again. "Thank you. Thank you."

Cody smiled seeing Loona happy. He knew he made the right choice in this. "You're welcome."

"But still, you didn't have to give me this."

"I wanted to give you it." said the kid. "I won a lot of money in the race before."

"Feel like a winner?"

"Yeah! I never really won anything like this before. But I hope Chop is ok. He really liked me so much."

"I know. I notice that he likes you so much. But you know an apartment is not really a place for a large pig like him."

Cody sighed and nodded his head. "I know." he looked at the sky. "He belongs in the ranch with his pig family." They went back inside the apartment and had some leftover meatballs with noodles together. Yes, Cody did feel like a winner after all.

The next morning, Cody and Loona were at Dave's bar for some breakfast. "Hey there, my good man." said Dave, happy to see one of his favorite customers as always. "Did you have a good sleep last night?"

"I did, Dave." Cody replied.

"Here you go, little man. Belgian waffles with butter, and some bacon on the side," said Dave kindly. "Just how you like them." then he looked at the disguised hellhound. "What about you, Loona? You want anything to eat?"

"Just a cup of vanilla coffee."

"Got it, sugar."

"And please don't call me that." Loona flatly said

"Oh, sorry." Getting the kind of breakfast they wanted and sitting down in a booth near the entrance, they enjoyed the food and Cody took a sip of his apple juice. As Cody was eating, Loona got a phonecall from Blitzo.

"What is it?" she sounded annoyed

"Good news, Loony! Stolas has a special arrangement for us."

"What kind of arrangement?"

"It's a surprise." Blitzo said.

"Whatever. See you in a while." then she hung up. "Hopefully not too soon."

"You still hate him, Loona?"

"How can I not hate him? He's an annoying creep with nothing better to do than to spy on peoples' personal lives for a living." she rolled her eyes in annoyance on how much she cannot stand her own adopted father (most of the time). "Good thing I have a motorcycle now, so i won't have to deal with him so much." she felt her stomach growling. "Shit. I should order something after all." she said in her head before ordering herself a ham and cheese omelette with extra ham and some hashbrowns on the side. "Thank you, Dave." she said before giving him a tip.

She ate her breakfast in a very fast and rabid fashion. But, it was no surprise to Cody since Hellhounds can be ravenous eaters, even in their human disguises. Nothing like a simple breakfast to start the day. Nothing could go wrong for these two. Or... so they thought.

Loona felt her stomach growling and needing to use the bathroom, she said: "I'll be right back, kid. Let me know if something happens."

"Sure, Loona."

Just sitting and drinking some orange juice, the boy patiently waited for Loona to to be done with her delicate business. Suddenly, Mr. Belmont came in the diner, much to Cody's annoyance. "Ah, hello, Belmont." Dave didn't sound too happy to see the town preacher. "What can I do for you this time?"

"Hashbrowns with mashed potatoes." the priest said. As he was waiting for his food, he caught a glimpse of Cody pretending to look at the menu so he wouldn't have to make contact with him. Belmont had a hardened look on his face and sat in the booth. "Hello, Cody." he said, keeping his cool. "My apologies for intruding, but i want to talk to you."

"Uh, sure, Mr. Belmont." said Cody. "What is it?"

"Well, i would like to know exactly what you are, child."

Looking confused, Cody asked: "What do you mean?"

"Simple:" said the priest, trying to be polite. "the fire in your house, the tragedy of your parents, it can mean one thing."

"What's that."

"You," he pointed his right finger, "are the Antichrist of the prophecy."

Now Cody looked even more confused. "What are you talking about?"

"It's not ordinary that a house can just catch on fire." said Mr. Belmont. "You somehow managed to accidentally set your house on fire with your powers while you are sleeping."

"That is just crazy!" said Cody, finding it hard to believe.

"Crazy? Or the truth?" said Mr. Belmont. "The Antichrist is the very person that will bring Hell everlasting and Armogeddon to Earth. My new friends told me about your little... misadventures, Cody. I know exactly what is going on."

Looking very worried, Cody's eyes widened, and his heart was pounding. "Friends?"

"Yes." said the priest flatly. "Now, i know you never asked for any of this, it just happened. But I have to help the Earth from eternal Hell. I have to do the will of God. For the greater good of mankind."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, you got it all wrong, mr. Belmont. "I'm not the Antichrist."

Some of the other patrons looked on at what was going on. "Sure, you may not realize it, but you are." Mr. Belmont got off the booth. "I will save the world from your evil powers."

"I'm not evil." Cody said

"What is going on here?" said Dave, with Selma next to him.

"This child is the Antichrist. The one that will bring eternal doom to us all."

"Ok, do you know how crazy that sounds, man?" said Dave. "Cody the Antichrist? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard."

"Yeah, this boy is as sweet as peaches and nectarines!" Selma agreed.

"So he looks." Said Mr Belmont. "But this child is the son of Satan." He pointed at Cody again. "The Antichrist that will bring Hell on all of us according to the Old Testament."

"What's going on here?" Loona came out of the bathroom. She looked unamused to see the same bitter man from Burger King before. "Ah, it's you."

"You!" Belmont pointed at her. "You are one of the unholy demons I have heard about. There is no place for your kind on Earth. My new friends told me about you and your cohorts. Many people do not see your charade, but I know very well of the truth!"

"What are you talking about Captain Crazy?" Said Loona

"The Antichrist being friends with demons. It all makes sense."

"Antichrist?" Loona said. "You mean Cody? That is just fucking ridiculous."

"No. the boy is the very thing that will bring damnation on mankind!"

"Ok, Belmont, you need to get out!" Said Dave. "I don't need you to scare all my loving customers."

Narrowing his eyes, he said: "you all are fools." Before leaving, he looked at Cody. "Do not think this is over, Cody. I will save you, and everyone else. I'll be watching you." He even gave him the "I'm watching you" gesture with his fingers in front of his eyes before leaving.

"You ok, Cody?" Asked Loona

"Yeah, just confused."

"Don't mind him." Said Selma. "Mr. Belmont is just a reincarnation of Jim Jones, and a fanatic.

"Can we give you anything, son?" Asked Dave, "like some ice cream?"

"No thanks. But I would like more apple juice."

Dave smiled and snapped his fingers. "Coming right up, little man."
