Chapter 18: Loo Loo Land Part 3
Meanwhile, Loona begins to search around the area where Blitz is last seen, double checking when Blitz has disappeared. The others are worried to hear what Loona first concludes.
"So Loona, what's the verdict?" Drew asks.
"I've been sniffing for the past few minutes, and it's that Robotic Fizzarolli alright. He smells like sparking circuits and cotton candy," Loona says.
"Yep. That's him alright," Razor says.
"And he always has a screw loss," Randall says.
Then mutters, "No different from the real Fizzarolli."
"What was that?" Millie asks.
Randall sighs and says, "Nothing."
"But why would that robot want Blitz?" Berry asks.
"Who cares why he wants him? How are we going to get him back?" Randall asks.
"I'm sure that Robotic Fizz wouldn't hurt Blitz. I think. Either way, he's programmed to entertain guests, not hurt them. Well, I do admit, he did kind of cause a few injuries and such, but that's kind of part of the attraction," Razor says, sounding a bit skeptical.
Randall groans, "Razor, even you know that the robot is annoying as fuck. He has plenty of memories from the original Fizzarolli and even then he has a mind of his own."
"Yeah. He's not much different from the original Fizzarolli, but even he's not that much of a pain in the ass," Razor says.
"Excuse me, I think we need to focus on the issue at hand. We have to find Blitz before that robot does something to him, and I don't want to take chances," Moxxie says.
"I think he's right. It's best we find him," Drew says.
Loona finishes sniffing the area, "Well, it smells like he's been taken this way."
"Alright then, Loona, you take Razor, Randall, Moxxie and Millie to find Blitz. Drew Berry, and I will stay and watch over Stolas and Octavia," Sarge says.
"Sure dad," Loona replies.
Then says to the others, "Come on, let's find Blitz before that robot does something."
And with that, Loona rushes off to find Blitz. Randall, Razor, Moxxie, and Millie follow soon after to find him and hope he's okay.
Back to the circus tent, Blitz grows uneasy to have the Robotic Fizzarolli giving him a big grin on his robotic face and looks at him.
Confused by what the Robotic Fizz says, Blitz asks, "What do you mean I look familiar?"
"Well, you look familiar. My memory data is a little out of date, but something about your appearance seems familiar to me," Robotic Fizz says.
"I guess," Blitz says.
He shakes his head and realizes, "Hold on, you're the one who grabbed me, didn't you?!"
"Well, how else am I supposed to have a private conversation?" Robotic Fizz asks and lets out a laugh.
"You could have just asked," Blitz says with a frown.
"Where's the fun in that?" Robotic Fizz shrugs, "Besides, knowing the Grease kitty, he won't let me have the time of day to talk to you."
"Well, I guess that's a good enough reason, but it's still no excuse," Blitz says.
"You gotta relax, man. I only want to talk," Robotic Fizz replies.
"And that's it, right?" Blitz asked.
The robotic jester nods his head, "That's right."
"Okay then," Blitz replies, arching an eyebrow with a confused depression.
He then asks, "What is it you want to talk about? You said that I look familiar to you, so maybe we can start with that?"
"Right. Well, I couldn't help but notice that you seem familiar to me. Almost like I've seen you from somewhere before," Robotic Fizz says.
"I see," Blitz replies.
Then says, "However, I don't remember seeing you before. This is the first time I'm actually meeting you. I'm guessing I just resemble someone because I would have remembered someone like you. You don't seem like the forgetful type."
"Glad to know that I'm not the type to be forgotten," Robotic Fizz says.
Blitz chuckles a bit, "I see. So if you don't mind me asking, why am I familiar with it? Do I resemble someone?"
"Hmm, why don't we make it interesting. You answer a few of my questions and I'll answer your questions. Maybe listening to you will help jog my memory a bit," Robotic Fizzarolli says.
"Fair enough," Blitz answers.
"Now then, question one, is Blitz really your name or some kind of nickname?" Robotix Fizz asks.
"Well, Blitz is actually short for my real name, which is actually Blitzo," Blitz says.
"Blitzo huh, sounds like a clown name to me. Are you with the circus?" Robotic Fizz replies.
"Well, I actually used to be part of a circus. Sure I was a clown at some point, but also knife thrower, and acrobat," Blitz says.
Robotic Fizz chuckles, "So you were like a circus star?"
"I kind of was, until I met my uh, friends, kind of retired and worked at their company with clients, accounting, kind of simple stuff," Blitz says.
Robotic Fizz laughs and says, "You're one odd Imp, but you seem pretty interesting."
"Uh thank you," Blitz replies, confused.
Then asks, "So, you think you can tell me about who I remind you of."
"One more question: I heard you say something about you wondering about a birth family, care to explain to me about it?" Robotic Fizz replies.
"Oh," Blitz replies. He turns his head away and says, "That's kind of a difficult subject to talk about. And I don't really know so I'm not sure if I could share it, or if I can explain it."
"Oh, but you want to have some answers, right," Robotic Fizz says.
"Um yeah," Blitz says with a nod.
"And I can't answer if you don't answer any of my questions, especially since it's these last little questions," Robotic Fizz says, and lets out a cackle.
Blitz bits his lips and doesn't really know what to do. He wants to know what this robot's game is, but he can't get answers unless he's willing to answer the robot.
Meanwhile, Stolas decides to take Octavia to the fun house while Sarge, Drew, and Berry are with them to keep guard. As the two are riding in the apple cars, Stolas can't help but notice that Octavia is having a depressed look on his face.
Reluctantly Stolas asks, "Octavia, is there something wrong? Are you… not having fun?"
Octavia sadly sighs and admits, "Not really. I kind of did, but… I didn't even want to come here.
"I'm sorry, sweetie. I- I thought you loved it here," Stolas sadly says.
Octavia says, "When I was a kid, and my parents didn't hate each other. And my dad didn't stop worrying about an Imp he barely knew."
"I'm sorry, Via. I'm sorry for... everything... happening right now. I know it's a lot I uh- I should have listened," Stolas says, sadly.
Then Octavia says, "I just want to go home, but home doesn't even feel like home anymore. You ruined it."
Then Stolas says, "You need to understand, your mother and I... I just-I felt- she's always been... I haven't been-we weren't in..."
He has trouble knowing what to say to her.
He places his claws over his face and says, "I'm sorry, I- I- I don't have the words."
Octavia remains silent for a minute.
Then in concern, Octavia asks, "Are you going to run off with him? And leave me behind? Go away where... I can't find you?"
"What?" Stolas says, surprised.
Then pulls Octavia into a hug, "No! No, no, never. I'd never do that. Never."
Octavia can't help but smile as tears come down her face.
"I promise, as soon as we find Blitz, we'll be leaving here. You were right. You are too old for it anyway," Stolas says.
Octaiva wipes the tears from her face, "Alright."
Octavia remains silent a little, and asks, "Dad, what exactly do you like about Blitz?"
"Huh?" Stolas says, confused.
"What do you like about him? I mean, you kind of kissed him, even if the first one was Randall's doing, but you seem kind of interested in him," Octavia asks.
Stolas sheepishly giggles and asks, "Was I being that obvious?"
"Pretty much," Octavia replies with a chuckle.
"Well, I'm still learning about him, but he seems kind, hardworking, and considerate, and he is rather honest. Of course, it's kind of difficult to say, but Blitz is different," Stolas explains.
Octavia thinks for a bit and says, "I guess you're about that. Blitz is different from other Imps."
"He sure is. More than I can actually imagine," Stolas says.
Octavia chuckles, "Yeah. I can tell that you like him."
"I guess I do, it was also rather sudden," Stolas replies.
Then Octavia asks, "Do you think he'll be okay?"
"I do hope so," Stolas answers.
Somewhere in the park, Loona is still searching for Blitz with the others of her group close behind.
"How's it going there, Loona?" Razor asks.
"Blitz's scent is getting stronger, so it means that we're getting close to where he is," Loona says.
"Good to hear," Razor says.
"I'm worried about, Blitz. Are you sure that robot won't hurt him?" Moxxie says, concerned.
"I'm sure that robotic jester won't do anything to hurt him, Mox. In case he does, I won't go easy on him," Millie says, and brings out a gun.
"Easy Mills, we don't want to cause a scene before something happens," Razor says.
"Maybe Millie won't, but I don't mind making a scene," Randall says.
Moxxie sighs, "Let's just focus on finding Blitz and get out of this park."
Soon, Loona stops and says, "I think I got the exact location, Blitz and the Robotic Fizz's scent is strong."
"Well, where are they?" Randall asks.
"In there," Randall says, and points to the large circus tent.
"I know that circus tent, it's where the circus performance happens sometimes. Robotic Fizz also performs there as well," Razor says.
"Well then, let's go inside and get Blitz out of there," Loona says.
And with that, everyone rushed towards the tent to help Blitz.
In the circus tent, Blitz is very reluctant and has no choice but to tell the Robotic Fizzarolli about his family.
Blitz sighs and explains, "If you really want to know, it's because I was actually adopted when I was a baby. I was found and raised by a family. A normal mother, father, and have an older brother and sister. Of course we also live with our aunt and uncle, and cousins, and we traveled in a circus for a long time. We were pretty happy there, but sadly there was an incident that caused the death of my father, brother, and sister. My mom died a few years later. I lived with my uncle and his family and my uncle was in charge."
"Huh, talk about a long, brief story. So how do you meet your friends?" Robotic Fizz replies.
"Well, we met during our travels and explained a few details to me, and I decided to return from the circus and be with them. I've been with them for a while," Blitz says.
Then says in his mind, "I just hope he buys it because I'm not sure if he'll believe me. And I don't want to mention that my adopted family are humans."
"And that's it, right?" Robotic Fizz asks with a big evil grin on his face.
Blitz gulps nervously and answers, "Um yes."
"Quite interesting. You say that you're adopted, but from the looks of it, the family who raised you is probably an odd family, and yet you now stay with Grease Kitty and his buddies," Robotic Fizz says and laughs.
Blitz crosses his arms with a frown, "Is it really a problem for you to know about my living situation? And my family happens to be a great family."
"Oooooh, looks like someone is getting a bit salty, but a deal is a deal. Like I said, the memory in my database is a bit rusty, but I can tell you this, you have a strong resemblance that the real me knew. They even have the same heart mark on your forehead," Robotic Fizz says.
Blitz eyes wide open in shock, "What?" and asks, "And what do you mean by the real you?"
Suddenly, someone calls out, "Blitz!"
Blitz and Robotic Fizz turn to see Razor, Loona, Randall, Moxxie, and Millie entering the circus tent and rush towards him.
"Guys!" Blitz says relieved.
The others rush over as Blitz rushes to them.
"Are you okay Blitz?" Millie asks.
"You're not hurt are you?" Moxxie asks.
"I'm okay. He didn't do anything to me," Blitz says.
Just then, Razor glares at the Robotic Fizzarolli and angrily says, "Hey, what's the big idea of kidnapping Blitz like that?!"
"What?! I didn't exactly kidnap him. I just decided to take him somewhere to be alone to talk," Robotic Fizz says.
Razor turns to Blitz, "Is what he's saying is true?"
"Um yeah. It's true, and he asked and said some weird stuff," Blitz says.
"Like what?" Randall asks.
"Well uh, he said that I resemble someone that the real him knew," Blitz says.
"What?" Loona asks, confused and dumbfounded.
"Like I'm going to believe everything he said is true," Razor says, still bitter at the Robotic jester.
Robotic Fizz laughs and says, "Well, I can't say for sure, but you know what I find funny is that I had to drag this little soft Imp alone because he is protected by the Grease kitty and his group of bodyguards." And begins laughing.
Blitz glares at him and says, "This Grease kitty happens to be my friend. Are you really here just to talk to me or just using me as an excuse to insult us?"
"Well, it looks like someone has become very salty. But if you like to know those Imps who might be your bio family, I suggest you talk to the 'Original Me.'" Robotic Fizz and begins laughing. "I'll have to wish you good luck because his boss Ozzie in the Lust Ring might not make it easy. Perhaps you should talk to your bodyguards to help you find him."
Razor viciously glares at the robot as he continues laughing and clenches his fist in anger.
"Alright, I just have enough of you trying to fill Blitz's head with your nonsense," Razor angrily says, and brings out his rifle, "I'm going to turn you into scrap metal."
He points to Robotic Fizzarolli and shouts, "Dance, bitch!"
Then fires at the robot, but Robotic Fizzarolli cartwheels out of the incoming round, and spins towards Razor as he continues to fire at him with his rifle. Then he coils himself around Razor, and launches Razor into the air and through the top of the tent.
"Razor!" Millie cries out.
Outside, an Imp, named Wally Wackford, is walking by with a cart of lighted torches right beside the tent, "Torches, I say, I say! Get your inconvenient torches here!"
Then Razor crashes onto the cart, scattering the torches everywhere.
Wally screams, "Ow- I say, OW!"
With that, one of the torches lands beside the tent, and the fire spreads very rapidly and begins to set fire to the whole part. In the tent, Blitz and the others watch as the fire begins to break out.
"I think this will be a perfect time to get the fuck out of here," Loona says.
"Agree," Randall says.
The others nod their heads in reply and run out. Razor however is still trying to fire his guns at the robotic jester, but is not making it easy for him.
Back at the fun house, Stolas, Octavia, and the others walk out as Blitz and the others run towards them.
"Blitz, there you are," Berry says.
"What happened?" Drew asks.
"Uh, it's kind of a long story," Blitz says.
"And where's Razor?" Sarge asks.
"Well the Robotic fucker made Razor so mad that he decided to go all trigger happy on it, and caused a fire at the circus tent that will end up spreading to the park," Loona explains.
Suddenly, they hear a loud crashing sound close by and turn to see one of the prize booths. The group rushes over to see Razor.
"Razor?!" Moxxie asks, surprised.
Dazed from the crash landing, Razor says, "Oh, hey guys! I see you found Sarge and the others. I think it will be best for you guys to get out of the amusement park."
Suddenly, the group hear robotic laughter and turn to see Robotic Fizzarolli walking towards them as his robotic skin begins to melt from the fire.
Then Razor takes out his guns and says, "I got some... unfinished business to take care of."
Sarge sighs, "Alright then."
Then turns to the others, "Let's hurry out of the park before it goes out in flames."
Agreeing to the idea, the group begins to make a run towards the exit with their belongings. Razor draws out his pistols and fires his guns at the robot. Robotic Fizzarolli's head spins around, but stops to reveal he has caught the bullet with his teeth, and spits it out.
"That mother fucker," Razor says, bitterly.
Then Robotic Fizzarolli cartwheels fast and speeds towards Razor, luckily he dodges out of the way. Then the booth explodes sending flying flaming toys all over the place and catches other venues on fire, including some of the rides. Just then, some of the animals from the petting zoo escape and some are either getting burned or on a rampage. Razor continues to fire his weapons at the robotic jester, but is not making it easy for him. Just then, a giant dragon-like demon grabs the robot, tosses it in the air, and swallows it whole.
Confused, Razor says, "Well. I guess that's been taken care of. I better go find the others."
While the fight is going on, Sarge is able to lead everyone out of the amusement park and to the van.
"Is everyone here?" Sarge asks.
"Everyone from Razor, we're all here," Randall says.
Octaiva looks at the burning park, "Well, we were planning on leaving, but that was kind of quick.
"I have to agree," Stolas says.
He then turns to Octavia and asks, "So, what would you like to do now?"
"Oh, can we go to Stylish Occult? They sell weird taxidermy there," Octavia says.
"Hmmm. Okay..." Stolas says, reluctantly.
Octavia chuckles with a smile and says, "Thanks, dad. You're okay sometimes."
"Thank you, Via. Thank you..." Stolas says.
Just then, Razor rushes over and is kind of out of breath.
"Hey Razor, are you alright, man?" Randall asks.
"I'm alright. Now let get the fuck out of here before someone see the mess," Razor says.
Agreeing to the idea, everyone hop in the van and drive back to the Pride Ring before anyone notices. Glad to know that I.M.P Crew and the Royal owls are able to get out of the amusement park and back to Pride Ring safety.
Later in the night, Blitz is lying in his bed, not being able to sleep. Mimmy, his little kitten is sleeping next to him on a small pillow. Blitz is unable to get over what the Robotic Fizzarolli has told him from his mind. He has to wonder, does he really have a family in Hell. If he doesn't, whoever the original Fizzarolli is, he's not in this ring, and this Ozzie is not going to make it easy for him.
