A report on what had happened from what Tannins had planned back in hell during their hunt for that slithering son of a bitch, and a business endeavor between imp and fireman in motion. Enjoy reading this newly posted chapter folks!

Helluva Loud Adventures.
"Failed mission and business."

(April 16. Royal-Hela Outpost, outside of Royal Woods.)

We see Lincoln, Luna and Loona, and joined by Lady Ace as they go to the main lab of Tannins and they see her tinkering on something she is inventing. "Tannins!" yelled Lincoln, Tannins appears from above her invention. "What happened?"

Loona then speaks to Tannins, sternly. "You informed us that the whole thing failed."

"We wanna know, how the heck did it fail?" asked Lady Ace. She seems kinda ticked off.

Tannins comes down, and she uses her robotic tentacle backpack. She then wipes her face, and she removes her welding mask and then she puts on her glasses. "The hunt for Sir Pentious was a bust, and we failed the operation to remove him."

This does surprise them, and then Luna asks. "Wait, but you placed a tracker on his escape pod before he escaped back to hell!"

"I am aware of that, and how it all could've happened. But it all didn't turn out as we planned." Tannins then shows them the recording. "And this is what had happened." They all see what had happened.

(Recording.)

The FelHounds from Lucifer, and the Droidekas from Tannins arrive to an old observatory which was owned by an overlord from the early 80's, and they break the doors and windows, and then they open fire and send some missiles. Afterwards, the FelHounds are sent inside to track down the target.

But when they all go inside, the place is empty and everything looks like it was removed immediately, and then they scan the area for any signs of anything, but they do see some dead Egg Bois, and then the main screen turns on.

"Hello there, miserable idiots! You all thought that you could catch me?! Well, you will have to try harder than that, fuckers! Because I knew about the tracker, one of my Egg Bois saw it and I knew that you would all try and hunt me down!"

"You will never find me this time, because I have managed to make the greatest getaway of all time and now look at all of you, looking for nothing! I have destroyed all evidence of my whereabouts and there is nothing you can do to find me now!"

"My evil and diabolical plans to take over Royal Woods and all of Michigan will not be stopped, and I will win and you will all lose! Tell Lady Ace, that I said hello and goodbye! We will meet again, but for now... You should all run, before it's too late! Ahahahahahahaha!"

The screen turns black, and then the building shows some explosives are all over the place, and so the FelHounds and Droidekas scramble and get out of there.

The building blows up and only a few FelHounds and Droidekas escape, and even the one with the camera attached and then it falls to the ground and goes offline.

(End Recording.)

Seeing that, surprises them and then Tannins looks to the others. "Lucifer was outraged to know of this, and that means Sir Pentious is still alive and hiding someplace else. Who knows when he will resurface and come after Lady Ace and Royal Woods again, for now we must be prepared for what is to come."

"Dude, he was one step ahead?!" said Luna in shock.

"This cannot be good, this guy is just gonna come back" replied Loona.

Lincoln growls. "Like a cockroach who just won't die. Fuck."

Lady Ace sighs. "Well, I'd best take off and continue my patrol, chances he might come back early than expected." Lady Ace takes her leave, and so does Luna and Loona, they need to know if Lori, Leni, Charlie and Vaggie are aware.

Lincoln then asks Tannins. "Was there anything else I need to know?"

Tannins nods. "Joyce Granville's plan to remove Honicutt farms have been foiled. The farm is saved and she has been reported. Chances she won't be doing this for some time, and tell Liam of this so his family will be calmed."

Lincoln nods. "Thanks Tannins." He then takes his leave, Tannins looks to the screen and she is still trying to figure out, where is Sir Pentious now?

(Somewhere in Chicago.)

We go to the local bar, called Molly's, and Blitz is here and he shows Hermann the map of the town of Royal Woods, and he shows him the location. "This bar here, well it is still there but all empty and with nobody else around. I can setup Molly's there."

Hermann smiles hearing this. "Sounds good, but I wanna see this place myself. When can I come and check the place out?"

Blitz thinks about it. "Well, I am gonna be busy tomorrow. Perhaps, when you aren't doing your fireman shift, then I can take you along to Royal Woods and see how it's going."

"Now you're talking my language, blitz." He then shakes hands with Blitz, the others see this and they know nothing good can come from this. Mouch ignores them and goes back to his drink, but some of them have always wondered what does Royal Woods look like, and perhaps see how their fire department works.

This gives Cruz an idea, to speak to Boden about this. Meanwhile Verosika is sitting not too far and she is sitting next to Stella Kidd, and then she asks. "Are you alright with those two talking about this other bar idea?"

Verosika nods. "Yeah, I wanna know where this shit goes down. I am supportive of Blitz and his ideas, and we haven't even spoken about this to the others, yet. But we will and we need to know what the hell they think about it."

"A family opinion, good choice" replied Kidd. She then goes to meet with her friends, the paramedics, and then Verosika sees that she has a text message and she sees what it says.

Client: Sasha Mone.
Former prostitute turned trapeze performer and she became very popular, but then she messed up an act and this caused her ringmaster to e enraged and forced her to fix her mistake by doing the routine over and over again, but when she threatened to quit, she was fed to the lions.

Target: Ivan Sorvino.
A Russian Ringmaster who overworks his performers and abuses the animals that are part of this traveling circus. He will kill those who screw up, and he wants his circus to be popular whatever the costs may be.

Results: Kill him brutally or turn him into the authorities and reveal all that he has done.

Verosika is surprised to see this, and she knows the others will wanna get involved, and then Severide walks by and sees this. "Wait, I think I know this traveling circus."

Verosika is surprised to hear this. "Really?"

Severide nods. "Yeah, they're headed for south of Chicago, saw the commercial." He then goes to get a drink alongside Gavin and Capp. Now, Verosika has a plan on how they can make this happen.

"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"
A/N: Well, Sir Pentious wasn't caught and who knows where the fuck he is now, and it looks like Molly's is expanding beyond Chicago, and thanks again to "Marvelomac1010" for what comes next. I hope that you all enjoyed reading this newly posted chapter folks!
