Time to see how well these demons can do when they have a bit of some fun, with the annual Royal Woods Astonishing Quest. Let's see what how well they can play this. Enjoy reading folks.
Helluva Loud Adventures.
(Ketcham Park. Royal Woods.)
Tons of folks have come from all around the town, to witness what could be an event that could change everything, but in truth they have done this way before some of the kids were even born, but the very reason why people say this could change everything, is because there are demons among them competing as well.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's see who the teams here are for this year's Astonishing Quest!
Albert and Myrtle, Sully and Mazzy, Margo and Polly, Rusty and Zach, Stella and Emma, Richie and Flat Tire, Dennis and Patrick, Coach Pokawski and Nurse Patti, Darcy and David, Lindsay SweetWater and Winston, Clyde and Chloe, Principal Rivers and Principal Ramirez? Wait what?
And now, these are the folks from hell who are also teaming up for this event: Lincoln and Jordan, Luna and Sam, Blitzo and Loona, Stolas and Octavia, Moxxie and Millie
And live to report this is none other than Katherine Mulligan, who goes over to talk to Lincoln. "Excuse me, Mr. Silva Hound. We wish to know, what will happen with the demons participating in this event?"
Lincoln looks to the news reporter and smiles. "Well, at least I can talk to a news reporter who isn't into beyond the ratings and insulting folks. Unlike the one in hell." Kathrine is confused by this.
Lincoln then looks to the camera. "Now, I know everyone is not gonna be amused to see a bunch of demons be part of this event, but I assure you this isn't gonna end in disaster. There might be a few mishaps, but that's a normal thing. Mostly him." The camera looks to Blitzo who waves at the camera.
"Hello people at home! I'm waving at all of you right now!" Loona pinches the bridge of her nose from her dad's words.
"Why the fuck am I paired with you again?"
The camera then looks back to Lincoln. "See, we're just as normal as a person would be on a scavenger hunt such as this. We may not look like normal people, but we're not that different from each other. We have our own standards and issues, our likes and dislikes. So, as I said: There will be some blunders and a few unexpected stuff to happen, but this has happened way too many times in each Royal Woods Astonishing Quest."
"And thank you for those words Lincoln Silva Hound." Katherine then looks to the camera. "You heard it here first, seems like this year's Astonishing Quest is gonna be as normal as last year's, but with a tad bit of demon in it, and what best demons to have than the ones here in town. This is Katherine Mulligan from Ketcham Park, back to the studio."
The Camera man then turns off the camera and he goes back to the van. Katherine then looks towards Lincoln. "Lincoln, when you said other news reporter. Is there one in hell?"
Lincoln sighs. "Yeah, and believe me when I say she is a total bitch. She is mean and has no heart at all. Her name is Katie Killjoy."
Katherine Mulligan has barely anything else to say about that. "Wow. Okay, thank you for telling me, well I should be going now." As she walks back to her camera crew, she then thinks. 'Katie Killjoy? Why does that sound almost familiar?'
Back with Lincoln and the others: Lincoln looks to his demons family. "Alright guys, you all remember what we're gonna do here right?"
"We know Linc, don't curse and don't do any rude or impropriate gestures" replied Blitzo. "We're just here to have some fun as a family and the best way to do so is by having fun with those you truly feel close as family. Right Loonie."
Loona sighs from this. "I really question why I can't be partnered up with Octavia."
"Because our dad's wanna spend more time with us. This is bloody ridiculous" replied Octavia.
"Come now my little owlet, let us not get too depressed. We're all here to have some fun and fun we shall have." Stolas then looks to Blitzo. "And remember the deal we had Blitzy."
Blitzo sighs in annoyance. "You don't have to fucking remind me Stolas, I know what the deal is and I haven't told the others about it yet, so fuck off with it and let me handle the issue myself."
They look towards Blitzo confused. Then Moxxie asks. "What?"
Just then, they hear Mayor Davis on stage and she makes the announcement. "Good afternoon everyone, as Mayor of Royal Woods. It is my pleasure to welcome all of you to this year's Astonishing Quest!"
Everyone cheers and high fives and fist bumps their partners and even look to the opposing teams with some competitive looks.
The Mayor then pushes on her keyboard making this cymbals sound. "Got this from my kids for Christmas." She pushes another key and it makes an awesome starry sound. "I like that one."
"So, here's how the quest works: teams will get clues that will lead them to locations where they have to complete challenges. The team that finishes the last challenge first, will win…." She then unveils what's under the tarp. "The key to the city!"
Everyone else is shocked from this and Zach faints. But then the mayor covers it up. "Nah, just kidding. The winning team gets this trophy, it's bedazzling! Also, I would like to welcome our first ever other worldly guests who are also part of this!" Everyone claps seeing the demons and some of them wave to them.
The demon crew wave back, though Blitzo yells out. "Let's win this thing people! Yeah!"
"Now, before we begin, does anyone here have any questions?" asked Mayor Davis.
Stolas raises his hand. "Yes, are there going to be obstacles that could bring serious harm?"
The Mayor is confused by this. "Umm, no. None of the obstacles are dangerous."
"Well that's good, I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to my sweet little princess." said Stolas as he hugs Octavia, and then slowly strokes his daughters head feathers.
"Dad, stop it! You're embarrassing me." said Octavia in annoyance, she'
"Well, with that being said, you all have your first clue. On your marks, get set…" She pushes the key but it makes a fart sound. "Whoops, that's not it." She pushes the right one and it makes a horn sound. "Go!" Blitzo laughs at the fart sound and so does Moxxie and Millie.
Everyone begins to read their letters and the clue inside: You're first challenge is easy to master, if you're handy with a blaster.
(Lazer Maze.)
Everyone is already inside and everyone is going to work trying to score some hits onto each other, but I.M.P. seems to be doing the most with their shots. They sneak around the place and land some ambush attacks and to the demons, it feels like another day at the job.
Lincoln and Jordan are back-to-back and they shoot anything that comes out, and Lincoln even blasts at Millie. "Sorry Aunt Mills! Nothing personal!"
"No problem sugar, the aim was good." The Moxxie is hit by Loona.
Stolas and Octavia blast anything that moves, then Stolas sees someone aiming at his daughter and he jumps in the way for her. "Noooooo!" He gets hit and falls to the ground.
"Dad!" Octavia goes to him.
Stolas coughs and looks to Octavia. "I did this, for you… Octavia… Go on and… Avenge me!" Then he closes his eyes and sticks his tongue out.
She just looks to her dad with an unamused look. "Dad, these aren't even lethal, you can get up now." She then blasts at Dennis and Patrick who are about to ambush her. "Seriously, stop acting like this."
Lincoln and Jordan take cover and they see Blitzo is on the ground. "Blitzo, why are you lying down?"
"Oh, well I got hit. Which means I'm out" replied Blitzo.
The two kids look to each other confused and then back to the imp. "Blitzo, this isn't an elimination thing" replied Jordan.
Loona blasts away at Clyde and Chloe. "That's what I told him, and yet he wants to stay like this for some fucking reason." She then spots Sam and Luna, and that Sam failed and blasted her partner. "What the fuck is going on there?"
Lincoln and Jordan see this. "Huh, I guess Sam isn't good with blasters" said Lincoln. He then blasts Rusty. "Sorry man!" He then blasts Zach and blasts Emma who was trying to blast at Jordan.
Later: They all come out with their next clue, and they overhear what Luna and Sam are saying and it shocks them to know she's not good with Lazer maze or shooting or dodging from things coming her way, but I guess that's normal. "Well, at least we all made it out at first place" said Moxxie. "It made sense wince we're good with weapons."
"What does the next clue say?" asked Loona. They all read the next clue: How now, brown cow, don't take a lakin', you'll win this round unless you're chicken.
"So, we're gonna go and get some chickens?" asked Mille.
(Bumpkin Farm.)
They all arrive to the farm and all of them are given the instructions from Liam and with that being said they go into the coop and see the chickens, lots of chickens. Loona raises her tail up to avoid anything on the ground.
"So, we have to get eggs from this place and win?" asked Loona. "Sounds simple enough."
"Well, things would be easier if my wife was here, she might lay more than a dozen" said Stolas. His daughter sighs in annoyance from this, but Blitzo finds this humorous.
Moxxie and Millie have a head start and they get as much eggs as they can, but three eggs hatch into chicks and this makes them coo at the cuteness of the little guys. "Wait, do these still count?" asked Moxxie. They decide to put the chicks into the basket with the eggs.
Lincoln and Jordan manage to get some eggs, and so does Loona and Blitzo. But then they stop and look to Stolas. "What the heck is he doing?" asked Jordan.
Octavia sighs. "My dad has a way to reason with them." They all see Stolas and lots of chickens going to him as he whispers to them through chirps and all of them blush and he manages to get more than a dozen eggs. "This is so overrated."
But then Luna freaks out when she bumps into one of the hens and she lands onto Sam, and they lose the dozen eggs, but then Stolas hands them a basket. "Here you go, we have too many already."
Later: They all head out and they hand the eggs to Liam. Liam does notice the thousands of eggs from Stolas. "I said a dozen, how the heck did you get this many?"
"Oh my boy, I have my ways" said Stolas. "Now, what is the next thing on our objective?"
They all read what the next clue says: Feeling restless? In a rut? Then come over here and shake your butt.
(Werk it Dance Studio.)
As they are now in the building Lincoln speaks with his demon family. "Guys, I know this is a dance studio, but no inappropriate dance moves. Just stick to what the instructor says and we won't get into some trouble. Got it?"
They all agree, but then they look to Blitzo and Stolas. They both sigh in annoyance. "Fine."
Then the instructor comes and he gives them instructions and through this they all begin to follow his steps and try to control their own personal urges on dancing they're way, because there are kids there who do not wanna ask what they're dancing style is!
As they dance, Loona notices Sam is having a hard time and she falls and lands onto Luna and also onto Lincoln and Jordan. "What the heck?!"
"Wait, so she can fall over and we can't?" asked Blitzo.
Later: They all finish the task and Sam tells them that she isn't good with dancing, which shocks them. "That's a joke right? Because it's not funny" said Blitzo.
"How the hell are you not good at dancing?" asked Millie. "You got two legs and feet and whatever your momma gave ya, you just gotta strut your stuff and move to the beat and that's it."
"I did not see that coming" said Lincoln. Sam chuckles nervously and they all read the next clue: You're muscles ache, but don't you stop, you're challenge is to reach the top.
(Blue Bells Camping Ground.)
Obviously they all reached the top, though Lincoln looks to Pop-pop. "Pop-pop, why are you scared of this? Who the heck can beat an entire marine core in paintball and make them run for their lives?"
Albert then hears this. "Me! Albert Willard!" He then scales the wall with great speed, and he even carries Myrtle. "Let's go sweetheart!"
"Wow. For an old guy he's got some backbone" said Blitzo. The demons along with the kids then head back down with the clues in their hands. Luna is able to do this, training with I.M.P has made her good at rock climbing.
"So, do we read the next clue now?" asked Millie.
"Right after a bathroom break!" said Jordan as she heads to the rest rooms and the others also follow. They could use one too. Some of them don't need to and just talk to each other.
"So, what the heck do you think Blitzo and Stolas did as a deal?" asked Luna.
"No clue, but whatever it is, might not be good. This could also be tied in when we saw his phone in the woods and heard….. Whatever shit Stolas said" replied Moxxie.
"I don't like this guys" replied Lincoln. "Blitzo seemed pretty upset with what it is. Could be an affair."
"We won't know until we get answers from either Blitzo or Stolas, now I need to go and take a leak." Loona also goes to the restrooms and waits in line.
Later: They all walk down the street and read what's on the letter: Mail that burger back to sender, try something healthy from our blender.
(The Organic Juice Store.)
As they are inside, they are given the task to taste everything in their new Earth Warrior Challenge, which doesn't seem to sound well for most of them. But Sam, Blitzo and Stolas are eager to try this and same with Millie. "Let's see what we got" said Blitzo.
Sam manages to drink it and get the guesses right, but then she hears the others spit out what they drank and also barf what they drank. "Who drinks this shit?!" said Blitzo as he vomits it.
But Stolas is still standing. "Hmm, there seems to be a tad taste of… Organic wild mushrooms, how exotic indeed." He then looks to the man. "I'd like to try something else, this is really good."
Later: They all walk out with the letters to the next clue and they are not happy. "Sorry guys, I guess the whole organics juice is not you're thing" said Sam.
"Ya darn right it ain't!" said Millie. "What the heck was in all of that stuff and why the heck would they make it?"
Moxxie sighs. "Humans these days are just odd when it comes to whatever they come up with."
"I don't see what the problem is." They all look to Stolas who is drinking one of the organic juices. "This isn't half bad and I even got one for your mother in case she wants one too."
Octavia is dumbfounded by this. "Gross." She then looks to the letter. "Alright, let's get this whole thing done with." They all read what the next clue is: Tie the knot and castaway, the winds at your back, so don't delay.
"We're going sailing?" asked Lincoln.
Luna is wide eyed hearing this. "What?"
(Tall Timbers Creek.)
All of them have made it and are ready to set sail. "Alright, so do we all know what we're doing?" asked Jordan. They all give her a thumbs up, though Blitzo accidently gives her the fucks up and he switches back a thumbs up.
"Sorry about that."
They all begin to cast off, though they notice Luna and how uncomfortable she is with this. "Luna, are you okay?" asked Lincoln.
"Never better bro." Luna then goes over to help Sam with the Boom, but then it turns into chaos and they're launched off the boat and all the way to where the clue is.
"Are we supposed to do that too?" asked Blitzo.
Later: They all make it to the end of the lake and they all go to help Luna. "What the heck was that about? How could you screw up so badly?" asked Moxxie.
"Lay off her asshole!" said Loona. She goes to her daughter. "You feeling okay?"
Luna sighs. "Sorry guys, but sailing is not my thing." She looks down with some sadness.
Sam then places her hand onto her shoulder. "Hey now, don't be like that. There are some things we're good at and some we're not good at. Just be glad we all got to this together."
"She's right, even though we might not win, at least we all had fun right?" said Octavia. All of them agree, though Blitzo and Stolas seem to be less than optimal with that question.
They then read the next clue: One last challenge and then you can gloat, this astonishing quest ends on a sweet note.
"Sounds like we're baking" said Millie. "This should be good, or sweet, or bitter!"
(Larry Berry Bakery.)
With everyone and every demon now there, they all get ready to do one last thing for the winning prize and that is to make an apple pie.
Stolas and Blitzo put on a baking hat and apron. "We've got this in the bag Loonie, there's no way anyone can beat my cooking skills" said Blitzo.
"Then we'll have to see who is the best father and daughter team today Blitzy" replied Stolas. Both of them look to each other with competitive looks. Their daughters look away from this, this is just crazy even for those two.
Everyone commences with their baking, though Luna and Sam fail and it turns into a mess. Then after a few more minutes of fast baking. The Mayor hits the horn key.
"Spatulas down folks, it appears we have a winner! Moxxie and Millie manage to make theirs first and bonus, they're pie is delicious!" She then hands them the trophy. "Congrats you two."
Moxxie and Millie look to the trophy and smile. "And I thought being Employee of the Month was sorta good, but this seems better" said Moxxie.
"Oh, Lucy is gonna be so happy for us!" said Millie. "I wonder how she's handling in the hotel."
Everyone else claps for them, but Blitzo is shocked out of his mind. He then looks for the nearest restroom and makes one helluva swearing storm in there and luckily no one can hear him.
Clyde and Chloe go towards the imps. "How the heck did you make your pie so fast?" asked Chloe.
"Oh truth be told, I just helped out with some of the things needed, it's actually Moxxie here who is good with cooking" replied Millie.
Moxxie chuckles. "Well, I am good with the spatula when I'm in the kitchen." They continue to interact with each other. While Loona, Lincoln, Jordan, Luna, Sam and Octavia talk to each other.
"Tomorrow we talk to Blitzo on the deal he made with Stolas" replied Lincoln.
"We need answers and we need to know what the fuck was the deal about and what did he bargain on" said Loona.
"We can have it in the meeting room, only then can we actually get some words from the dude" said Sam.
"I'll also see what my dad has to say, then call me and tell me what Blitzo said as well" said Octavia.
Sam and Jordan are confused by this. "Can someone tell us what the heck is going on here?" asked Sam.
"Yeah, what does this have to do with your weird demon grandpa?" asked Jordan.
Octavia is confused and she looks to Lincoln, Luna and Loona. "When was Blitzo ever a grandpa?"
To be continued…
A/N: Well, congrats to Moxxie and Millie. They won and now they can celebrate back at I.M.P and Blitzo has to tell them the deal he made with Stolas, soon. We're also closing in for the concert of Lilith and her band "RESIST" but it could also be a surprise for someone's incoming birthday too. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Date made: 11/3/20.
