Helluva Loud Adventures.
"From Striker's attempt."

(June 26. The Hazbin Hotel, Pride Ring. Hell.)

This is where they are now. Lincoln, Velvette, Blitz and Loona. They explained to Charlie, Vaggie and Alastor of what went down the previous day, and they chose not to bother with having Moxxie, Millie and their kids involved, since they are on vacation.

Stolas and his family are not there of course, they're back where they live and for their own safety too.

Velvette is eating some cookies, and then Niffty shows up with two more plates, and all of what went down bothers Charlie. "So, where is Stolas now?"

Blitz explains. "His palace, the whole place is on fucking high alert and preparing for what might come. He said that if some other assassin tries to get him, then he'll open a portal for his family and himself to escape to earth. Sounds like a pretty good evacuation plan to me."

Lincoln sighs. "We thought we finally got Striker, but no! He got away again, he has gotta be the one problem who always seems to know how to slip off from our clutches. He's worse than Rodney."

Velvette then drinks a glass of milk and then speaks. "Chances he might be at some other hideout, and I heard that Lucifer is putting Wrath Ring on high alert, and sending his demons to find any other hidden mine shaft or something for wherever Striker is."

Blitz snickers. "She said shaft."

Lincoln then speaks. "The whole plan, was not just to kidnap Stolas. After the rescue, he explained that Striker was hired to kidnap both Stolas and then me. Whoever the fuck hired him, wanted me as well. He knew we would come after him, and so... God fucking damn it, I wanna beat the living shit out of that imp and watch him slowly fade to ashes!"

Loona then tries to calm down her son, because he's starting to get all pissed off and showing some hellhound features. Vaggie then asks. "Well, did you guys inform Lucifer of this?"

Alastor then interrupts. "Allow me, please. Now, I did overhear from Harriet last night. She told me that Lucifer and Paimon Ars Goetia are going to raise the head bounty of Striker. Both are truly in desperate need to send that ruffian of a cowboy to wherever he will be tormented."

"The other reason is because of what he has been harboring, those blessed items he had to use for the whole kidnapping of Stolas has truly angered the lord of hell himself and Paimon as well. Stolas' incident with Striker is now growing in words throughout the ten rings. His actions have awoken the other pillars of the Ars Goetia after all."

This surprises them, and then Loona speaks. "That would mean, all Ars Goetia members are also going to keep a close eye on who hired Striker, or when he might be seen again. We might have the upper hand, and if they catch Striker we can try and speak with Lucifer, to let us finish him off."

That one makes them feel calm and happy to know, since they all have beef with Striker, though Alastor just wants to watch the torment of the cowboy imp assassin.

Then Lincoln speaks again. "Also, Stolas said that they will be spending one month on earth next month. For their own safety, they're palace will remain empty but well-guarded. We still don't know when or where Striker will come next. We just need to be prepared."

They all agree to that and feel sorry for what went down the other day, but then Charlie has something else to ask. "Hey wait, where the heck is your sister, Luna?"

This makes them feel a bit concerned, and then Vaggie asks. "Wait, what the heck happened to Luna? Did she get involved the other day?"

"No, I believe she did not" replied Alastor with a grin. "Apparently, she was busy with something else alongside her mother and grandfather, am I correct?"

They nod, and then Loona speaks. "We brought her to Sloth ring for her hellbies shot since she is of that age now. It was just myself, Lunes and Blitz. We tried to calm her down and have her now freak out, but she was strong and put up one helluva fucking fight, and we managed to stop her from turning the doctor into a chew toy."

Blitz then speaks. "I swear, she is ten times worse than my Loonie was back then when she needed her hellbies shot, and she almost mauled me and the doc. At least things are alright again, and Lunes is back home and calming down thanks to Sam. But we are afraid of one thing..."

They all look to Lincoln, and this makes him realize. "Oh fucking shit."

Charlie speaks nervously. "Right, he's kinda more powerful and dangerous. You guys need to make sure that he doesn't do anything horrific when it's his turn." They can all agree on that one.

But for Alastor. "I truly wish you have informed me of what had gone down with Luna, I would've loved to be there and watch the madness and chaos unfold. Truly entertaining."

Velvette snickers. "Well then, Radio Demon. Wait till this kid is of the age and out of High School, then you can see him deliver the beat down and savage attacks on his hellbies shot." Loona and Blitz wish she didn't say that.

As they continue to talk, Loona has a text message and she sees what it is all about.

Client: Vanessa Rosenberg.
Was in her mid-30's, and lived her life of drugs and almost got an overdose. She eventually gave up and tried her best to change to being a religious woman. But then someone, a maniac broke into th church on a Sunday, and began killing everyone there, including Vanessa. She died hearing the murderer yelling "There is no God" and she knows who the killer is.

Target: James Franklin.
A deranged lunatic, psychopath and drug addict. He calls himself the religion killer, and has evaded the cops for a long time for the many murders on people at holy and religious gathering events. He is insane and wants to spread his belief of no god to everyone, this guy is a delusional atheist. Vanessa Rosenberg knew him long ago during her drug addiction times, and he is the reason why she stopped, he almost overdosed her.

Results: Kill him in the most brutal way possible, and ensure his demonic soul dies as well. Show him that there is an afterlife, and that he'll perish.

Loona then puts her phone back into her pocket. 'We can deal with that shit later, and then do the gig tomorrow.'

(Somewhere in Greed Ring.)

We go to the mansion, of Knolastname, and here we see Crimson at the meeting room, and he is not alone. "You let them escape?"

Striker, a little bruised and bandaged up and pissed off. "Wasn't easy trying to take down the hellhound human kid, since he had an overlord friend with him to try and make me bite the dust, and also those sinner sisters showed up." He then yells. "You think I'm some kind of invincible asshole to risk myself to fight an army?!"

Crimson growls. "And here I thought someone with your talents was an assassin/bounty hunter, but it looks like I've overestimated what you said you could do."

Striker is shocked to hear this and he is ready to kill. "Why you little two time mother fucking son of a fucking horses bitch!" He pulls his guns out, and so do Crimson's bodyguards.

Then someone else speaks, while drinking some cold tea, it is Andrealphus. "Now, now. Lower you're weapons, Gentlemen." They do so, because there is ice forming on the table, and they don't wanna anger this demonic bird. "What happened, that was a setback, and also another way for us to learn. Clearly there are other ways to get what we want."

"Nothing has changed. The plan is still in motion and play. We can learn from this, all we need to do is be patient and we will get what we want. Striker will get paid, I will be rid of Stolas and Crimson can have the hellhound boy and use him to kill his son, and everyone else. We just need to be patient, and not go against each other. We are clear on this my friends?"

Crimson smirks. "Sure, whatever you say boss bird."

Andrealphus is confused. "Please, do not call me by that name. It sounds, racist."

Crimson scoffs. "Whatever."

Striker then speaks. "Just as long as I get paid, and we'd best come up with something if we're gonna finish them off. I can't go anywhere near Wrath Ring anymore after what went down."

Andrealphus speaks again. "Then let us put our heads together, and figure this out." They then discuss to each other of a new plan, but unbeknownst to the other, there is betrayal in this team.

Andrealphus wants Lincoln as well. Crimson wants to kill Andrealphus and Striker. Striker wants to kill Lincoln, and all three have a plan for when the plan works, and they get what they want, and then see who will stab the others in the back first.

"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"
A/N: a big thanks again to "Marvelomac1010" for the concept and the client and targets for tomorrow. Though, I had to make some major changes to this concept since everyone is of course on high alert for Striker. I hope that you all enjoyed reading this new chapter folks!
