Harry yawned as Pringles applied his daily feather cream treatments and the blue parrot boy sipped his morning tea. His Hellphone started playing the Game of Thrones theme. It was Blitz.
"I know todays supposed to be your day off but can you come in Kiddo? A client wants a member of the Ars Goetia family present and it's easier to ask you than Stolas and Andy."
"Can do boss man!" Harry said eagerly. "Change of plans today Pringles I'm going into the office. Blitz needs me for a business meeting."
"Shall I ring Vortex?" Pringles asked as he put Harry's feather creams back into his medicine cabinet. Washing his hands in the Balerion sink.
"Nah, let him enjoy his day off." Harry said. Vortex usually had a day off when Harry didn't go into the office or city.
"Alright sir if you say so. You know the rules though.
"I know I know." Harry said picking up a little button and putting it inside his shirt cuffs like a cuff link. He had to look smart for a business meeting after all.
"Isn't this your day off?" Stolas asked as Andrealphus preened his shoulders in the Drawing room.
"Blitzo asked me to come in." Harry said. "Apparently a client in Greed wants a member of the Ars Goetia present to ask some questions to and I'm the only Ars Goetia team member so he called me in."
Andrealphus and Stolas stopped their preening and looked at each other suspiciously You know our rule about Ring travel."
"I know I know." Harry raised a sleeve showing his cuff link. "And Uncle Mammon is on my Emergency Dial. Bye Dad,bye Papa." He had Pringles slip him a lunch in his backpack and soda. Before slipping it on his back and leaving with his trusted butler.
"Excellent timing!" Blitzo said as Harry walked in. "The client just said he was sending transportation.
"Oh cool is that a helicopter?!" Harry said excitedly.
"The fuck is that?" Blitzo looked out the window at some kind of device under the copters front end. It shot out and struck the wall. Then it started pulling and everyone watched in shock as the walls crumble, again.
"Satans Asscrack for fucks sake enough of destroying my walls WE HAVE A DOOR!" Blitzo shouted waving his hands in the direction of the door in the staff room.
"IMP?" A small, green Leviathan demon walked up after a walkway attatched itself to the building.
Harry quickly gave Loona his grimoire for safe keeping. "Keep it safe?" He asked.
"Got it." Loona said with a salute. She walked out of the room to go put it in Blitzos wall safe.
"Are you the transportation?" Blitz asked.
"Right this way please." The pilot said. He waved them toward the helicopter.
"Uh, sir what's going on?" Moxxie asked as he brought up a pistol.
"Oh just some rich schmuck in Greed who wants to discuss business with us at his place. Piggy back?" He asked Harry who had been looking down below nervously. He had a mild fear of heights. He took Blitzos offer and hid his face in the imps neck as they all made their way toward the chopper.
"Is this thing safe?" Millie asked after making sure Harry was buckled in safely only to find her buckle was torn.
"Don't worry, we're professionals!" The pilot said eagerly as they took off.
"Ugh, I hate this place." Moxxie said as Harry took in the sights of the Greed Ring.
The Greed Ring was essentially unregulated capitalism run amok. Corporations in Hell often settled in Greed for production purposes due to little to no unions or safety regulations for production and worker safety. Harry hadn't visited his Uncle Mammon in a while.
"I grew up right over there." Moxxie pointed to a neighborhood they where slowly headed towards. "Swore I'd never come back and - wait, Blitzo, who did you say this meeting was with?" The short imp asked suspiciously.
"Oh just some rich somebody or other who wanted to conduct business at his place." Blitz said as he observed a ring he rarely visited.
"Oh no no no no!" Moxxie said as the Helicopter landed.
Harry watched an imp he knew had to at least have a mild anxiety disorder, Coke extremely close having a complete nuclear meltdown.
"No no no no no!" Moxxie said as he was pushed out by Blitz.
"There he is! Came a familiar but more gritty sounding voice. "There's my boy! Good to have ya home!"
"Uh, everyone, this is my father, Crimson." Moxxie introduced the dapper imp nervously.
"You must be Blitzo. With the silent O." Crimson shook Blitzos hand firmly. "I've heard a lot about you."
"Really? What's Moxxie been saying about me? I'll fucking kill you Moxxie don't you Fucking test me!" Blitzo snapped.
"No no no! I meant from all over. It's not often imps get to start their own businesses let alone with blessings from the Ars Goetia. Speaking of-"
Crimson looked down to the blue parrot boy who was watching the exchanges and calculating the probabilities in his head that he may need to call Uncle Mammon. So far his answers where at 50/50.
"You must be the young Prince." Crimson held out his hand. "I'm Crimson." Crimson held out his hand and Harry reluctantly shook the monster looking imps hand.
"You have questions for me sir?" Harry asked.
"I like that. Knows to respect his elders. You don't see that slot in Hell. Crimson said with a sly smile. "Business can wait. We have a fabulous dinner for you all. So come inside before it gets cold." The well dressed imp turned to open the door to his manor home and gesture them inside. Two guards standing on either side of the door. A tall, Succubus/Leviathan hybrid, the other a very large, clearly muscle silent type. When they walked inside Crimson snapped his fingers, he and the two guards went inside and locked the door.
The IMP group moved through the manor guided by Crimson. As they entered an very fine drawing room as a Leviathan shark man held out a basket and said "Phones please."
"What? Why?" Millie asked.
"No phones. Crimson doesn't like business to have any traceable records." One of the shark men said holding out a basket.
Blitz grunted and tossed his phone in first. Moxxie followed followed by Millie and Harry behind her.
Everything's on the Cloud anyway. Harry thought. Plus my Dads filthy rich.
"So, you always been a hit man Blitz?" Crimson asked as he poured some drinks. Making Harry a glass of ice and sinners blood cola.
"Oh not always, I used to be in the circus and learned a few tricks I use in my trade day to day."
"Show Business!" Crimson said in an approving tone. "Good money in that!"
"Eh not really." Blitz said. "Not when your dad blows all the circus's money on blow and gay hookers to piss off your mom." Blitzo remembered walking in on his dad plowing the behind of an imp boy barely 18 calling him Daddy as Cash slapped his behind.
"Uh, sir, why exactly are we here?" Moxxie asked.
"Moxxie, I raised you better than that." Crimson said dangerously as he lit his cigar. He blew the smoke Harry's way by accident and the boy coughed.
"Sorry sir." Harry apologized.
"Kid don't ever apologize. it's a sign of weakness." Crimson parted with some life advice. "Besides, we're waiting on one more."
"Uncle Crimson!" A shark boy came running in and gave the imp a big hug. "Thanks for the Bike!"
"Yer welcome kid." Crimson said as he patted the boys shoulder. "This is Chaz, he's my Satanson. It's my duty to provide for him in the case of his fathers absence. Luckily, such a case hasn't happened."
"Whose his father?" Moxxie asked.
"Vincenzo, my Consiglere." Crimson waved a hand forward to behind Moxxie.
"Fuck! When did you get here?" Moxxie jumped as Vincenzo fondly put a hand on Moxxies shoulder.
"He's always in the room." Crimson said. "Remember Mox? He used to be your babysitter when you where a little impling.
"Right. Uncle Vinny, how are you?" Moxxie gave the huge shark a hug and the shark returned it with a smile. "Still don't got much to say?" Moxxie asked as Vincenzo gave him a smile. He remembered being a bi curious 18 year old and how he trusted Vincenzo alone to guide him into manhood as his father would call it. Being too timid at the time to go out and explore his own sexuality himself. Vincenzo kissed Moxxies hand lovingly.
"Anyway, why exactly are we here sir?" Moxxie asked.
"Moxxie, I raised you better than that." Crimson said as he sat in a recliner and lit a cigar. "You know there's no business before dinner."
"Dinner is served." A servant said in an awful accent.
"I don't wanna do Business with IMP I need to do business with the Ars Goetia." Crimson said as he leaned on an elbow.
"Oh fuck me." Harry muttered hiding his face in his feathery hands as the Chad shark boy across the table smirked at him. "Fuck me fuck me fuck me." We walked right into this. The parrot boy thought dismally. He remembered grandpa reading to him from The Art of War when he was a toddler on his lap. You don't go to your enemy, your lure them into a trap.
"What do you mean business with the Ars Goetia? You know you coulda just contacted Stolas or Andrealphus through their staff right?" Blitzo suggested making a note to find the exits of the room discreetly. Just in case they had to get the kid outta here fast and get him somehow to King Mammon.
"Do you know how difficult it is for an imp to get an appointment with Demon royalty?" Crimson demanded. "Even if they're a successful Don?"
"Tell me about it." Blitzo responded sarcastically remembering when he had crashed Stella's party.
"So I summoned IMP to my home on the off chance they where involved with the Ars Goetia in some way when I learned of your business mode."
"Chaz here is the son of my Consigliere." Crimson waved a hand to the young shark boy sitting next to the humongous shark man sitting quietly at Crimsons right. "I need an inside connection to the Ars Goetia and the heirarchy of Hells Rroyalty. I'd like to arrange a marriage contract."
"Dad are you insane Harry's only 11!" Moxxie protested angrily.
"I mean, I suppose royalty does accept arranged marriages all the time but Prince Stolas values honesty more than-" Millie started before Crimson interrupted her.
"I'm gonna make Prince Stolas and King Paimon and extremely honest offer they can't refuse." Crimson snapped his fingers.
Harry tried to bring up his hands to gather his magical power but was grabbed by the tall shark/imp hybrid with wings as he was muzzled and tazed at his neck. His sapphire feathers singed by the electricity as he tried to press something under his clothes. A tracking beacon fell out of his sleeve where his cuff link was, blinking under the table from his sleeve as he was hoisted over the demons shoulder.
IMP held their hands up as sharks burst into the room with armed with rifles and tommy guns.
"Now, your all gonna stay for the night and we'll arrange the contract in the morning. I have your room all prepared. Nighty night."
After pushing the three imps into a single room and shutting the door. A metallic barrier rose to lock them inside. And rose from the window as well.
"Dammit dammit dammit Satanfucking dammit we walked right into this trap!" Blitzo cursed as he punched the barrier until his knuckles bled black blood.
"Blitz! Here!" Millie rummaged through her bag and found a first aid kit.
"He took our phones when we walked in. Dammit I should have seen this coming! Raaaah!!!"'Moxxie roared as he toppeled over a bookcase.
"HEY! YOU DESTROY ANYTHING UP THERE YA PAY FOR IT!" Came Crimsons shouting from below.
"Is this why you've never told me about your family before?" Millie asked as she wrapped Blitz's hand up.
"Look I don't like talking about this part of my life for a lot of reasons. Mostly to protect all of you." Moxxie said to Millie as she hugged him tight.
"I'm sure Stolas and Andy have some kind of safety precautions in place but SATANDAMMIT why did we let this schmuk confiscate our phones?!" Blitzo said as he fiddled with a plate of the door with a screwdriver he found in the room trying to pry it apart to tear it off.
Harry blinked and Crimson was smirking at him.
"Ya know kid ya haven't apparently learned this lesson of life in Hell yet." The imp said as he took Harry's chin in his hand looking into his hand. "Trust no one."
"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die, there is no middle ground." The blue parrot boy responded as he spat in Crimsons eye. "I hope your ready for what's coming."
"You obnoxious Little piss stain!" Crimson punched Harry in the eye hard making him cry out in pain. "Gag him." He snapped his fingers and he cawed in rage as he was gagged. He was tied with Blessed Rope to a chair. He wasn't getting out of this anytime soon. He was sure they'd searched him and took the small switchblade knife Vortex gave him. For emergency purposes of course.
"Do it." Crimson ordered someone behind Harry and Harry grunted as he was stabbed in the neck with a needle. He felt sleepy
Harry blacked out.
Harry woke the following morning. His eye where Crimson punched him was swollen nearly shut.
"There's the man of the hour." Crimson said while giving his trademark smirk. "It's your engagement day. Second best day of yer life!" He poked Harry's side jokingly while Harry muffledly said he would disembowel him. "Come on!" He snapped his fingers and the tall hybrid shark carried Harry over his shoulders to a garden. Harry looked over to see Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie tied up in chairs at a table. Also with blessed rope.
"Oh my Satan." Millie said looki mg at Harry's swollen eye.
"Eh, he ran into a door. Clumsy kids." Crimson said to his shark minions who all smirked and nodded.
"Oh you are so fucked when Stolas or Andrealphus gets here." Blitzo said angrily.
"Like those flamboyant owl faggots have any real power over me." Crimson snapped back. "And remember, He held a blessed knife to Harry's neck."I still have the Prince."
Harry whimpered in fright. His coworkers had never heard him make a noise like that before.
"Ahem." A shark man dressed as a lawyer with a briefcase smirked.
"Boss what is this?" Came a deep voice. Vincenzo had come out with Chaz.
"Just shut your mouth Vincenzo and sign the satandamned papers or I'll have your jaws put on display!"
"Uh yea sir." The well meaning but terrified father sat his boy next to Moxxie. "Please, don't hurt him." He begged Moxxie.
"I'd never hurt your family Uncle Vinny." Moxxie promised. Struggling in his bonds.
"What's going on? Why does the Prince have a black eye?" Chaz asked in distress. "Why are you guys tied up? Ow!" The blessed ropes stung him as the shark boy tried to untie the IMP crew.
"Your dads got his fins tied to his dick over this deal Crimson has in mind apparently." Blitzo said as he watched Vincenzo sit opposite Harry and Crimson.
Everyone suddenly heard rage filled CAAAAWWWWWs throughout the entire ring. Everyone looked up. Then they heard a crackle. Everyone looked to the 30 foot tall garden wall.
BOOM!!!!
Stolas and Andrealphus in full demon form are noticed by the sharks closest to the debris. They turn and run before a frozen breath from Andrealphus' peacock form shrieking as it threw its head forward. Running it stomped several minions before picking up a pleading imp up in his beak, throwing him in the air and chomping him in half as he came down into his mouth. He ran off to terrorize more guards as Stolas glared down the aisle to see his son tied to a chair and Crimson holding a knife to his hand as he held a contract in hand.
He roared. And flew down the aisles towards Crimson and the heat from his rush burned several sharks away to ashes. He roared again sat Crimson and turned into his everyday form.
"Ddy." Harry said, muffled.
"Give me my son." Stolas said in extreme anger. His second sight eyes flashing angrily.
Crimson, in shock and awe, untied Harry, removed the gag and held him up bridal style to the tall owl man.
"Daddy!" Harry said again, in fright as he snuggled like a child into Stolas' plumage.
"How dare you, how FUCKING DARE YOU?!" Stolas shouted as he held Harry like a baby to his shoulder. "As if I would EVER permit a disgusting mafioso like yourself into this family!"
"It wasn't me your highness it was their idea!" Crimson pointed at Vincenzo and Chaz who looked betrayed.
"You know there's a special circle here in Hell for Betrayers Don Crimson? I hope you enjoy your time there and use it to reflect on your life." Stolas pointed up and Crimson looked up to see an angry peacock demon with a freeze aura around his mouth.
"HAaaaaaaa!" Don Crimson screamed as Andrealphus chomped down on him halfway, throwing him up into the air as he screamed in agony and gulped him down to stew in his stomach acids for days before he finally passed. Andrealphus finally collapsed in on himself and appeared as his everyday form as well joining his husband.
"Mmmnmnmnm." Andrealphus said rubbing his full belly. "Jolly good fun. We should crash engagement parties more often my darling." The ice peacock said with a kiss to Stolas' cheek. "Is Harry alright?" He asked as he petted the parrots hair gently while the boy snuggled into his Dad.
"He's terrified." Stolas said. "And oh my dear his poor eye." He showed Andrealphus Harry's black eye.
"Let's get him home."
"Uh, a little help please!" Blitz shouted and they looked over to see Blitz, Moxxie and Millie tied up.
"Mmm i don't know Blitzy, I find the sight of you all tied up like this absolutely titillating." Stolas said huskily before wincing as he was bitten on the shoulder by an upset Harry.
"Mmm I do as well. But dearest we really should get them all home, Via and Loona are worried." Andrealphus said as he helped untie Moxxie and Millie before moving onto Blitzo and slapping his ass as he stood up.
"Whoops, hand slip." Andrealphus said huskily.
"You only get one. Tell him Stols."
"Apparently everybody gets one." Stolas said as he made a portal to IMP offices and a Portal to the palace to put Harry in a bath and then bed.
"Exacty. HEY!" Blitz jumped as Millie walked past with a smirk. "The fuck?!" Moxxie walked past holding Millie's hand as they walked through their portal together. "My ass is not a walking target!" The imp protested as he walked through with Stolas, Andrealphus and the young Prince. Moxxie quickly ran back to hug Vincenzo who was sitting with Chaz both unsure of what to do now. Vincenzo was shocked at first but hugged Moxxie back and patted his butt fondly before he ran back through the portal.
To Be Continued...
as Chaz was no longer Moxxies age I gave him a different shark to crush on.
I hope you enjoyed this new chapter! The way I pictured Andrealphus' pure demon form was a snow aura covered peacock monster that looked more like a natural peacock. Just giant and with Andrealphus color patterns.
