Police Station, Three Weeks Later...
Loona is seen sitting on the cold and uncomfortable mattress in her cell on the third week of her imprisonment in the Pride Ring. She hadn't slept a wink for the three weeks she had spent in her jail cell by herself. And, it was starting to take a toll on the young woman.
The moment her dad and Charlie came by with her bail. And, Blitzo demanded all charges be dropped. Well, did you want to be the officer to tell the Princess of Hell, who was helping pay the bail, and Loona's father no?
Loona looked like hammered shit the minute she presented herself to her Blitzo and Charlie after the officer opened the cell for the hound to exit the precinct. Much to the looks of horror on the faces of Charlie and Blitzo. Their reactions told the whole story the moment she stood before the two in the reception area. Her hair was a mess and her clothes were torn. She stunk from being afraid of showering with the other detainees. Her make-up had long since been smeared from all the crying she had been doing since the night after being framed. Now, she could add mentally unstable from not feeling safe to that list.
A hug from her dad was what she needed right now while a yawn escaped her mouth when she left the station and got into Charlie's limousine with the demons who had posted her bail.
Snow and Loona's Apartment
The minute Loona walked through the door of her home that afternoon. She never felt happier to be home and out of that shit hole she had been locked up in.
As she had explained to Blitzo, after Charlie had gone, she had been doing nothing but rocking back and forth while screaming and crying for Snow. She also want to know if everyone she cared about was okay. It broke Blitzo's heart to see his daughter turned into a wreck based on a false accusation.
Seeing everyone safe and sound before going to get a shower and some well-earned rest knowing that nothing bad had happened in her absence. Since the words of Katie Killjoy had caused this uproar. Everyone, besides her friends, the kids, Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie to run for the hills the moment the limo pulled up outside the apartment.
In her mind. She hoped Snow was doing better than she was from his hospital bed. Hoping he would wake up soon and end this nightmare for the hellhound.
Pentagram General Infirmary. Pride Ring of Hell, Sometime Later…
Song Play: Deadman Walking by Blood Simple.
The moment Snow awoke to the sound of screams outside his hospital room. He paled in realisation. Heaven had sent someone to kill him. And Snow was a sitting duck for the angels sent to assassinate him.
Quickly getting out of bed after detaching all of the wires from himself in one quick swipe of his hand down his front. Eric saw the clothes Loona had left him and quickly got himself changed into combat boots, socks, clean boxer shorts, black jeans and a grey tank top. And, after hearing three soft thumps on the bed. A gun holster for three guns?
"Oh, Loona. you devious woman."
Loona had snuck Cerberus, Mistress and Persephone into the clothes for Snow would change into when she had visited. Mainly, so the security didn't catch on that the hound was carrying three firearms into the building for a potentially dangerous patient. Placing the guns in their holsters. And, silently thanking his fiancée for giving him a fighting chance. It would soon be put into effect the moment the room windows shattered and an angel-hit squad tried to get to him. Only to be put down with three bullets in three separate skulls by Snow.
Sneaking out of the room while mentally thanking Loona that his weapons had silencers on them. Snow crouch walked his way towards the reception area. Finding six angels standing among the locals they had slaughtered. He holds his breath the moment he hears one of them say.
"Ghost three, this is Ghost one, do you copy? Did you kill Lazarus?! Damn it! They've gone dark."
Snow couldn't help but silently laugh and roll his eyes. Of course, Heaven was going to send assassins after him. They thought he was still out cold in bed from Zerachiel's attempt on his life. What they weren't expecting was said hybrid jumping out from behind the reception desk. Shooting out the lights in the hospital and, leaving the angels in the dark. They were now under Snow's mercy. And, he was going to show them they had made a mistake trying to assault him.
One by one, and with scary precision, the bodies littered the floor of the once-pristine floor of the hospital. All caused by the hybrid who is seen lighting a cigarette and walking out of the front door to the hospital. With dismembered angels left in his wake. His objective was clear now. Find Loona and the kids. And, protect I.M.P. from the angels.
Snow had to take every chance he could. If an angel attacked him. He would pump them full of lead with Cerberus, or duel-wield Mistress and Persephone to give the angels a faceful of metal. The minute he saw the one-hundred eighty-nine heading towards the I.M.P building. His pride be damned, he was not losing Loona. Not now. Not, fucking, EVER!
Grabbing the first motorcycle he could see. He had to kill a few more angels to get to the vehicle. Once he got onto it, he slammed his foot down and revved the engine to life. The moment he got it going fully and driving. He ran down every angel stupid enough to get in front of him and turning the streets red with holy blood was Snow's main goal.
Nothing else mattered. While driving the bike down the highway. Eric changed into Lazarus before charging in for the fight. The battle of The Greed Ring had, officially, begun.
Change Song: The Lost Battalion by Sabaton. (Raid on I.M.P.).
With I.M.P., Eliza, Winter and Austin
Everyone was doing their best to keep the angels out of the establishment. Austin was using an axe he had found to swing into the heads of any intruder that got close to him. Eliza had gunned down the angels from upstairs while Winter was swinging for the fences with a metal baseball bat.
Loona and Millie were seen trying to barricade any loose bearing in the offices. Loona's only means of defence was when she borrowed one of the company guns to help her in the fight. She got a few good headshots off before her luck would soon run out the minute one of the specialists knocked her down with a straight right hand to the face.
Loona should have felt worried. Only, she didn't need to be the minute the angel slumped to its knees with no head thanks to Blitzo shooting the angel that had knocked down his daughter.
"Keep away from my daughter, you fucker!"
Helping her up to her feet after spitting on the corpse he'd killed. Loona couldn't help but smile towards the imp in front of her before the two teamed up to take down the other angels that had managed to break through. It was all going their way. But, how were they to know the angels had a trick up their sleeves?
"BRING IN THE VANGUARD!"
The main leader of the angels shouts. Leading to earthshaking feet quaking the very foundations of the office block. This announced the arrival of the eight-foot-tall giant that Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie had to take down in Heaven when rescuing Charlie. This time, it looked like it had been upgraded since the last one fell in Heaven.
"NOT THIS FUCKER AGAIN!"
Blitzo shouts angrily. Standing beside Loona, Moxxie, Millie, Eliza, Winter and Austin with their weapons drawn. Moxxie shouts with calm malice in her voice.
"Give it everything you've got!"
if only they knew. The moment the vanguard let out a roar, letting the seven with their weapons drawn know that it was going to charge. A spear chain made of fire impaled itself through the being's head. Splattering blood all over the angels, who were looking on in shock from what had happened to their secret weapon within seconds.
The seven demons couldn't believe their eyes either until a voice bellows.
"GET OVER HERE BITCH!"
The shout was followed by the sudden jerk reaction to the giant getting thrown back effortlessly out of the hole that was once the hotel door. This caused Loona's eyes to widen in realisation, followed by affection when she saw who had saved their asses.
End Song
There he stood in the doorway. With the vanguard head held within his grasp before throwing it at the feet of the angels. With Cerberus in his left hand, holy sword behind his back. And, his spear chain wrapped around his right forearm. Eric allowed the spearhead to hang down from his hand with blood from the vanguard pattering on the floor with every step he took.
His look became even more deranged. Unnerving even the bravest of angels or demons in the room.
Without even a look at his surroundings. Lazarus snapped his fingers and froze the angels in place in the middle of their strike. While he stood unmoving and still staring down the demons before him. The moment he snapped his fingers. The sight before everyone was one of horror at the, now, blood-covered hybrid. There was nothing left of the angels that once stood around the building. Just bloody mulch and bone dust.
Lazarus had slaughtered one hundred and eighty-nine angels without even having to move a muscle. Loona knew of Genesis's scary power from the stories Charlie had told her while they hung out.
She also remembered what Charlie said will happen if Lazarus drinks divine or unholy blood. This is shown when he snaps his head forward and his eyes turn a dark red and look at the imps, hounds and demons standing before him with a bloodlust-crazed smile on his face.
"AUSTIN!"
Austin didn't need to tell twice. When Lazarus began to attack all of them. Something had gone wrong. Normally, Snow would re-emerge from his Genesis side after saving them all. Not this time. Loona also remembered that Charlie had said if Lazarus, did drink the blood of either a demon or an angel. He would go on a bloodlust-induced rampage. Which, in turn, meant he would slaughter everything that had a pulse.
"DAD, STOP THIS!"
That didn't help, as shown when Lazarus gut punches Snow's youngest daughter in the throat before headbutting her. Lazarus wasn't expecting to deal with Eliza when she got involved in her little sister being hurt. Though Eliza was fast after being trained by her dad. Lazarus was faster.
This is shown the minute Lazarus dodges Eliza's next attack. And, with a lightning-quick pace, brings his foot crashing down into the top of the demon's skull. Sending her crashing through the ground where she stood.
Moxxie, well. He had no luck either. What with Lazarus moving out of the way of each swing of the bat? Following one of the dodges, the Genesis brings his knee crashing into Moxxie's face before grabbing the bat and taking out the imp's knees with one good swing. For some reason. He had left Millie be. Possibly, not seeing her as a threat to him.
That just left Blitzo and Loona now.
"Eric, stop this madness! I am your boss! I order you to stop!"
Lazarus chuckles darkly. Causing Blitzo to back up in fear before Lazarus responded crazily.
"Oh, you 'order' me? News flash dumbass!"
Lazarus uses this moment to charge the imp and his daughter. All the while shouting with a peal of crazed laughter on his lips.
"YOUR ORDERS DON'T MEAN SHIT TO ME!"
SMACK, CRASH!
Loona and Blitzo couldn't believe their eyes. Lazarus was out cold before them. And, their saviour? Well, it was an unlikely source. Standing before them was an angel in all-white clothing consisting of a white tank top, white jeans and white heeled boots. A tattoo of her children's names was wrapped around a cracked and decaying cross on her right shoulder. The other arm had her late husband's name on her left forearm. Blue roses surrounded that name with blood dripping from the thorns.
She may have been five foot eleven, but the minute she single-handedly took down Lazarus with one strike to the back of his head. Knocking the Genesis out cold with spirals in his eyes and tongue hanging out. She was a force to be reckoned with.
"Damn kids."
Looking at the demons before her after moving a few long strands of her pure white hair out of her face. She gazes upon the two groups before her with a smile and says.
"You're welcome."
Sometime Later. The Next Morning
When Snow had finally awoken from his slumber with a pain running through his neck to the back of his head. He awoke to a pleasant sight at the side of him. A cooked breakfast with orange juice was awaiting the hybrid the moment he woke up.
His memories of the past half-hour were foggy at best. All he saw the moment he got out of bed, after devouring his food in a single second, was a clean-up crew taking the mulch away from the angels that had tried to purge the office building.
That would feed quite a few orphans after the bloody massacre that had happened last night. His thoughts were soon pushed to the back of his mind the moment a knock on the door, and a woman entering the room, made him turn his head to see who it was. His eyes widened in surprise the minute Cassiel entered the room and greeted the hybrid before her.
"Good morning, son. How are you feeling today?"
Snow couldn't believe it. His mother stood before him and asked how he was. This led to Snow hugging his mother tightly and crying into her chest. Leaving Cassiel to smile lovingly at her little boy and hug him back deeply.
Snow hadn't seen his mother in neigh on eternity. he had always assumed she had taken her own life the moment his father died. But to see her, and be able to hug the main woman in his life, next to Loona, again. Snow felt complete again.
The moment he pulled away from the hug. The mother stroked her son's white hair and spoke softly. Oh, how Snow had missed this.
"Look at you. My baby boy, all grown up and handsome with two beautiful daughters, a son and a bride-to-be as well. I've missed you so much, my little Snowball."
"I've missed you too, momma. I thought you were dead after dad died in the purge. What happened? Where did you go? Why turn up now?"
Cassiel couldn't help the laughter that escaped her lips. Her little Snow, always the curious one. Something his father noticed he inherited from Cass herself when he was just a baby hybrid. With a ruffle of her son's hair. Cassiel replies warmly.
"Worry not my baby boy. I will answer all of your questions in due time. First, tell me all about this hound you're with. You certainly know how to pick them."
Snow's cheeks flushed in embarrassment. Getting over the shock. He began speaking in detail about what Loona was like from every last detail. Minus the mature-rated stuff, of course. Cassiel couldn't help but listen intently to every detail regarding her newly discovered, soon-to-be, daughter-in-law.
Living Room
"So tell me, Cassiel is it? How did you manage to find your son in Hell during this, impromptu, assault?"
Moxxie asks with a hand under his chin while the elder and her son are seen scarfing down food like they haven't been fed in a while. Eliza, Winter, Austin and Loona could only sweatdrop at where Snow got his big appetite from. The minute Cassiel finishes the food she has in her mouth. She manages to speak.
"Oh, it was too easy. The minute Snow uses Lazarus to fight after I specifically warned him to only use it in life or death situations!"
A slap to the back of Snow's head from his mother nearly caused the snow-white demon to almost choke on his food. Luckily, Loona was on hand to help her fiancé by bringing up the food that had lodged itself in his windpipe. The moment the saliva-covered concoction of the food that had been Snow's mouth hit Blitzo in the face. Everyone let out quiet laughter at the imp's misfortune. The minute it died down. Cassiel continued.
"When I heard my Snowball was alive and living in Hell after what had happened on earth. Well, I originally felt ashamed that my son was walking amongst the bottom-feeding, shit-heaving, dirty little fuckers that happen to be in Hell. But, the moment I saw who he was intended to. My mind changed. And, I told myself, 'Well Cassie, not everyone in Hell is that bad'. Plus with my late husband, Snow's father, being a demon. My views had to change, and fast."
Millie took a sip from her drink. Once it was back on the coaster on the coffee table. She spoke.
"Ah must say, Cassiel. You've given us one helluva teammate to work with. He's one of the company's best!"
Cassiel nods. The moment a sad sigh escaped her lips. Eric asks.
"Mom?"
Cassiel holds her index finger up to indicate for Snow to just give her a minute before she spoke.
"Sorry. It's just, your little friend said the same words your dad said to me years ago, that's all sweetie."
With the mood noticeably lowered around the table. Cassiel soon perked up and spoke loudly. Startling everyone there.
"Enough about me." She turns to face Loona who is seated next to Snow at the table. "Loona, dear. would you like to spend the day with your future mother-in-law? I'm interested in learning more about you from your lips. I feel Snow's explanation didn't do you the justice you deserve."
"Sure? I mean, it would be great to finally spend time with the angel that gave birth to my future husband."
Snow, while Loona was saying this, was making motions behind his mother to tell her 'NO!'. Cass soon caught on after dragging her son down to her level by his tank top's front. Not even blinking, or looking in his direction. She asks lowly.
"Something you don't want your darling to know Snowball?"
Snow quickly shook his head in a hurry before scurrying away to help his daughters and son try and rebuild the office. Loona had never seen Snow move as fast when she knew him. Despite the glowing look on Cassiel's face. Loona knew she would be in for a wild ride in the morning.
Snow did try to warn her.
