These four men looked like they were Christians but one of them looked like a bulky hick or a redneck with a red buzz cut on his head. Another one was slim and had long black hair with a triangular face. The third one was tall and chubby with a goatee and a buzz cut on him as well with his beard going down to his chest. The fourth one looked of Hispanic descent that had muscles and his left eye missing with a scar over it.
"And who are you?" Asked Belmont.
"Name's Fletus." Said the leader of this gang. "Fletus McSuthers." The large man had a southern accent and a deep one too. "We all heard that the Antichrist is on the rise and we all wanna do something to stop him from causing Hell everlasting. Right boys?"
His cohorts all agreed with him in unison. Mr Belmont was rather surprised and smiled. "You all want to help out against this demonic menace?"
"More than anything." Said the Hispanic man. "We can't let the world go into loco insanity because of Satan's spawn!"
"Count us in?" Said the chubby man with the goatee.
"Anyone who is an enemy of god is an enemy of mine." The tall triangular-faced man added
"Of course!" Said Mar. Belmont. "I am always flattered to have friends that are good friends to the Lord. As long as you don't play that infernal heavy metal music. I hate it so much!"
"Nah, I'm more of a country boy." said Fletus. "
"names's Dennis." Said the tall thin man
"Robert." The chubby one added
"And I'm Paulo." The Latino one finished.
"Do come in, my new friends. We were talking about what to do with the boy. Thinking of ways to get him him out of the shadows of Hell and burn into God's holy light."
The men made themselves at home and sat at the kitchen table, and they were rather perplexed by Adam and Lute since they had never seen these angels before. "Who the hell are you?" said Fletus. "Wait, are you a demon?" he began to sound defensive.
"Relax, dudes." said Adam. "I know i kinda look like a demon because of my horns, but i am an angel. Call me Adam, and this is my friend Lute."
"W'sup?" said the subordinote of the Exorcist head
"How can you guys look like angels?" asked Paulo. "Look at you. How can angels have horns?"
"I thought Angels had halos and bird-like wings?" asked Dennis. "And you have sharp horns on your head?"
"What kind of angels are you guys?" asked Robert.
Adam had a confident look on his face, and pulled out his guitar. Playing some nice riffs and a nice solo. "We are exorcists!" Adam sang. "And we make other angels appear like shit. We bring the holy light and thwart every demons' blight!" Mr. Belmont was not really amused, given that he hated this kind of music so much with a burning passion. "We send demons to our doom, and give them a brilliant fuck you!" putting his guitar away and stopping his singing, Adam pointed: "And we mostly deal with overpopulation control in Hell. Making sure that it doesn't get overflown with evil fucked up pieces of shit that would rap your own daughter."
"Well there is no way in Hell, no pun intended," said Fletus, "That no demon spawn will ever get ahold of my little girl."
"But you don't have a daughter, Fletus." Robert pointed.
"I know, i was just making a point."
"Well enough dillydallying." said Belmont, sounding unamused at Adam's usual antics. "If you can be so kindest to not to spew any more of that heavy metal trash around me."
"I told you." said Adam while crossing his arms. "No one tells me to not play my music, man! And, i am more powerful than you, so you watch what you say to me, Belmont."
The crazed preacher realized that Adam was right. Adam and Lute were higher beings, and he realized that if he makes them angry, then he might make God angry too. And nothing was scarier than God's wrath. The pharoah of Egypt learned that the hard way with the ten plagues brought to him and all of Egypt. For that; Belmont took a deep breath, much to his annoyance, and said: "Forgive me for my... pretentious attitude." he didn't sound too happy about apologizing to the head of the exorcists.
"Much better!" Adam cheerfully said. "So, looks like you can give out the rest of what is going on right now, Mr. B."
"Right. Now listen." the preacher began explaining to his four new followers about Cody Laurent, and how he believed that he is the Anticrist that will destroy the whole world if they don't do anything to stop him from reaching the "peak of his unholy powers". the four men looked terrified by this and were more than willing to helping Mr. Belmont in tracking down, or even killing the kid. These four men were so consumed with fear about the world ending, that they would do anything to "save" it. "So, let me get this straight," said Fletus. "This kid, Cody, is the Antichrist and is trying to destroy the world and lives with a bunch of demons in Hell?"
"Yes." said Belmont flatly. "He grows stronger every day."
"If that's true." said Dennis. "Then we have to stop him, no matter what it takes."
Then they all heard Agent One clear his throat. "Aren't you gonna introduce us, Mr. B?"
"Of course. Where are my manners?" Mr Belmont cleared his throat and said: "I would also like you all to meet Agent One and Agent Two. They are the leaders and founders of the DHORK agency,
"Aren't they those secret agent Demon hunters that no one takes seriously?" Asked Robert.
"Yes." said Agent One. "But demons do exist and it is our job to save the world.
"And we have a common ally in Belmont." Said Agent Two.
While this little meeting of Evil was happening, Cody was having a nice time at the spa with Loona for a second time. And this time, Blitzo, Moxxie, Millie, Tex, Crystal, Serena, Stolas, and Octavia were with them both this time.
Not only that, but on this second visit, they all managed to get in for free due to Stolas' Royal status in Hell's nobility.
Coco and Apple were working there as well like before and it would be better for Cody since he knows those succubi a little.
The steam room was just as relaxing and serene as ever since the last time Cody was in it. Yes, so calm, so peaceful, not a single fuck in the world so long as the kid was in the steam room.
"So did you do ok at yoga yesterday?" Loona asked him,
"Yeah. I do feel more relaxed than yesterday." Said Cody. "You know what? I can't even remember what I was stressed about before.
Loona smiled. "Good. And besides, you're gonna see Zakk Wylde and his boys again at the concert they invited us for free."
Cody remembered and got excited. Yes, meeting one of his all-time favorite musicians was definitely something to help him feel more relaxed. Listening to one's favorite music is good for one's mind, and soothes the savage beast as the old saying goes. "I'm ready for tonight."
"Same with me, kid." Said Tex. "Nice to have a drink with Zakk again."
"And are you ready to meet him again?" Asked Octavia.
"I am." Said the kid.
"Think he'll remember me?" Asked Cody
"How can he not remember you?" Said Loona. "He never forgets a face when he sees it." When they were done in the steam room, they moved on to the massages and Cody was feeling the nice, warm, gentle hands of Apple easing the tension in his small muscles.
"Verosika has been doing better lately." Said Apple. "She thinks about ya, you know, Cody?"
"She does."
"How can she not?" Asked Coco. "She went back into rehab for you. She stopped drinking alcohol for you."
"She hasn't been drinking after getting out?" Asked Cody, sounding a little surprised.
"Not one flask." Apple pointed.
"Good on her!" Said Tex. "I've been telling that girl to take it easy, but she never listened to me before."
"so how is she?" Cody couldn't help but ask.
"She has never been better than ever." Said Coco. "V-girl is feeling greater than a bulldog with a plastic surgery."
While she was still not considered his friend, Cody was rather happy to hear the Succubus pop star getting back on her feet.
You Made Me Want to Live by Black Label Society plays
This was quite the privilege to be in a free VIP Black Label Society concert tonight. On stage, Zakk and Dario were shredding on their axes together as they were playing a nice tune.
Stolas had never been to this kind of concert before and he was glad Stella was dead. If his wife was in a place like this, she would have a major fit like a toddler crying for her baby bottle.
A pure elitist at heart, Stella would have a nervous breakdown hearing what she would call: "peasant noise". But Stolas was enjoying every moment of this.
Blitzo was also having a good time, but he was caught by surprise by Stolas hugging him and making out with him, much to his disgust.
The imp hated it when he was being violated by the owl Goetia. To make matters worse, Stolas even used his tongue to wrestle Blitzo'.
Cody was sitting on Vortex' left shoulder so he can get a better view of Black Label Society playing their badass music to the whole audience. He wished that his parents were there to see the concert with him, but he knew that it will never happen now.
At least Tommy and Celeste were with him to enjoy this pure awesome moment in his life.
The group met them at the VIP lounge before the show, and Zakk did recognize the kid after all. But as icing on the cake, they would meet Cody ajd the gang after the show as well, for they invited the whole group to hang out with them in the tour bus again.
When the solo of the song came, Zakk and Dario were sharing solos together, which was a nice touch, and finished off the last piece of the solo together.
This concert just keeps getting better and better every minute of it, and meeting the band at Burger King a few days before was one of the happiest mistakes that happened to Cody. The concert went on for about an hour and a half and it was about eleven at night when it was over. Everyone in the auditorium exited the room, except for the gang and waited for the manager of the band to meet them.
"wasn't that awesome or what?!" Said Blitzo. "Shit ton better than the skanky shit Verosika would come up with."
"Did you see the way he was playing?" Said Moxxie in amazement
"Too bad you'll never be as good as him." Loona sang.
"Too bad you'll never have a boyfriend." Moxxie retorted
"Do we really have to go through this again?" Said Tex, becoming a little annoyed. "Put aside your differences for once."
"Ok ok." Moxxie sang. "Did you have fun, Cody?"
"lot of fun!" The kid replied.
"you glad you came here?" Asked Tommy, giving his little brother a pat in the back.
"I am, Tommy."
"Ah, there you guys are." Said the manager. "Follow me. The guys are waiting for you."
"Don't mind if we do." Said Millie. On the tour bus, the band was sweaty from all that playing and moving on the stage, and they were using sweat towels to clean themselves off.
"Hey!" Zakk recognized Cody again. "There's the little berserker!" Then the guitarist hugged the boy. "Enjoyed the show?"
"yeah! I love it!"
"How can we repay you all?" Asked Celeste. "How can we ever thank you?"
"Your thanks is good enough, man." Said Dario,
"I wish mom and dad were here to see this. They would have loved it." Cody admitted.
"Where are they?" Asked John DeServio
"They... they were burned alive when my house caught on fire."
"What?" Said Jeff in disbelief. He and the guys were also shocked to hear the kind of news.
"Oh Cody, I... I'm really sorry to hear that, buddy." said Zakk. "You ok?"
"Yep. I know it wasn't my fault. But I still have Tommy."
"Well tell you what, kid," said Zakk. "You and the guys are always part of the Black Label Berserkers. From now until the end of time!"
The kid smiled. "Thanks, guys."
"You know," said Octavia. "I wish I could have met Dimebag Darrell now. I heard you too were close."
"Me and Dine were brothers." Zakk proudly said. "He was the nicest guy I have ever met. You would have loved him, and he would have loved you, little lady."
"So you guys wanna have a drink?"
"That sounds fucking awesome!" Said Crystal. "Beer me!"
"I'll take bourbon." Said Serena.
one of the road crew got back with some nice cold drinks and refreshments for everyone to have and enjoy.
"Pardon me, Zakk," said Stolas. "Is this a cross necklace?"
"Yep. I am a motherfucking soldier of Christ."
"Oh. How quaint." Stolas looked a little uncomfortable. For even he wouldn't be safe against the power of Jesus.
