Loo Loo Land
The scene opens to a shot of the exterior of Stolas' mansion at night, before cutting to the master bedroom where Stolas and Stella are asleep. A young Octavia's frightening voice can be heard from her room.
"Mummy! Daddyyyy!" The voice of young Octavia called them.
Stolas is roused from his sleep. He turns to Stella, who has most of the blanket.
"Mmph." Stolas groans. "Via's calling us, Stella."
"You get up." Stella remarked in annoyance, trying to sleep.
Stolas sighs and gets out of bed with the robe on him. He enters young Octavia's room, where she's hiding beneath her blankets.
"Via? What's troubling you, my owlet?" Stolas inquires as young Octavia reveals herself from the sheets.
Young Octavia's hair was short with light gray and white tips, and her hands were completely black. She wore a similar dress, pink with white stars on it, but with puffy white sleeves. She didn't wear any shoes, and sometimes wore her tiara.
"Daddy! Daddy!" Octavia sobbed.
Young Octavia climbs down from her bed and runs into her father's arms. Stolas hoists her up to comfort her.
"I had a dream! A really bad dream!" Octavia told him as Stolas yawned.
"A nightmare." Stolas corrected her.
"I was looking all over the palace, and...I couldn't find you anywhere!" Octavia sobbing, then hugs her father. "You weren't there!"
"There there, Via, it's okay. You're okay." Stolas assures her with comfort, rubs her back.
Stolas summons his grimoire to him telekinetically as he walks Octavia back to bed.
"When you're scared, and you don't know where I am, you must remember..." Stolas said as his grimoire floats over to him, telekinetically flips it open. "...No matter what happens to me, I will never be far away...from my special little starfire."
Stolas begins singing a lullaby to young Octavia.
Stolas (Sings):
It always seems more quiet...in the dark
Stolas opens a portal above himself and young Octavia. She looks up in awe of the beauty of space through the portal.
Stolas (Sings):
It always feels so stark...how silence grows under the moon
Stolas and young Octavia float up through the portal and into the cosmos, landing on a barren moon.
Stolas (Sings):
Constellations gone so soon
I used to think that I was bold
Walking across the moon, Stolas leaves footprints in the dust.
Stolas (Sings):
I used to think love would be fun
Now, all may stories have been told. Except for one...
Stolas looks down at young Octavia, and she looks back with her large, curious eyes. Her gaze shifts to a pink glow to her side.
Stolas (Sings):
As the starts to align
I hope you take it as a sign that you'll be okay
A meteor begins its descent towards a giant, pink colored star.
Stolas (Sings):
Everything will be okay
The meteor makes contact with the pink star, and begins to sink beneath the molten surface.
Stolas (Sings):
And if the Seven Rings collapse
Multiple planetary bodies begin gravitating toward the pink star, including the moon that Stolas and young Octavia currently reside on, which eventually shatters into pieces as the star's gravity pulls on it.
Stolas (Sings):
Although, the day could be my last. You will be okay
Young Octavia yawns and falls asleep contentedly against her father's chest.
Stolas (Sings):
When I'm gone, you'll be okay
Distant planetary bodies fly through the cosmos, pulled in by the pink stars incredible gravitational pull. They disintegrate upon impact and causes the star to explode in a powerful supernova just as the portal closes behind Stolas causing him to sing louder.
Stolas (Sings):
And when Creation goes to die
You can find me in the sky
Upon the last day
Stolas drapes the sleeping Octavia in a blanket.
Stolas (Sings):
And you will be okay...
His lullaby finished, Stolas left as his young daughter settles to sleep, content.
Cut to several years later, where Octavia and Antauri were jolted awake by smashing objects and her parents screaming at each other, for less content.
"I can't believe you slept with an imp, in OUR FUCKING BED!?" The voice of Stella shouts.
"It was unexpected!" The voice of Stolas argued. "I didn't have time to go to a motel!"
"A motel?! Like a fucking PLEBIAN?!" Stella yelled angrily.
Octavia took Antauri to the bathroom and give him a bath. Antauri blushed a little, but didn't mind Octavia scrubbing and cleaning him. She started massaging his hair and Antauri stretched a little since he has a sensitive spot on his head that felt good when Octavia cleans his hair.
"Does it feel good?" Octavia asks, earned a nod from the white hellhound.
Octavia smirked and kept doing it for a while longer which made him feel more relaxed. Just then, she cleaned his body a little bit more, rinsed him, and took him out of the tub, wrapped him in a towel, and dried him off. Antauri was glad that he had fur, but he has no clothes on until Octavia let him lay in the bed and put him under the covers.
"Stay here for a sec. I'm going to take your clothes to the laundry room and come back with some fresh clothes for you." Octavia told him as she left the room.
Antauri knows that Octavia is going to ask her parents for a new clothes. He rests in bed for a minute to stay warm.
As she walked downstairs with Antauri's clothes, saw Stella arguing with Stolas in the kitchen.
"You want to fuck this one, TOO?!" Stella screams, grabs an imp servant and violently tosses him in Stolas' direction.
"No! Of course not!" Stolas protests.
"You are a goddamn embarrassment!" Stella hissed in anger. "I'm not spending another moment looking at your pathetic IMP-SUCKING FACE!"
Stella storms out of the room, but noticed Octavia was waiting at the hallway.
"What do you want?! I'm not in a mood because of that limp dick asshole!" Stella shouts.
"I'm just wondering if you have any clothes for Antauri." Octavia told her, causing Stella to sigh.
"Bring him to our room." Stella suggested.
Stella went to the master bedroom and brought out a cardboard box of child male clothing that could fit Antauri. Octavia brought the white hellhound, who's wrapped in a blanket, to the master bedroom. Stella then looks at him and started to dress him up to see what clothing fits him. Octavia left the room for a minute since Stella was taking forever to find the right clothing for him, grabs her phone and puts in earbuds, playing 'My World Is Burning Down Around Me' to tune out as strides down the halls of the Goetia Estate. In the kitchen, Stolas noticed his daughter entering inside when he served her breakfast, which he cooked.
"Good mooorning, Octavia!" Stolas greets happily. "Did you and Antauri sleep well, my owlet?"
"Was that a serious question?" Octavia asks, annoyed.
"Um..." Stolas said, but noticed someone else is missing while places a plate of food to the table. "Where is Antauri? Isn't he with you?"
"He's in mom's room for new clothes. He doesn't have anything to change after I bathed him." Octavia told him.
"Mm-hmm..." Stolas replied with a nod, but reached his hand toward the handle of the fridge. "What's that you're listening to?"
Stolas opens the refrigerator to retrieve a massive chunk of zebra meat.
"This song is called 'My World is Burning Down Around Me." Octavia answered. "It's by Fuck You Dad."
Stolas looks down, thinking the name of the band his daughter mentioned is a hurtful remark.
"It's a band." Octavia said.
"Ohhhh! How charming..." Stolas muttered bemusedly.
Stolas grabs the zebra meat and feeds to a massive potted plant situated in a small alcove off the kitchen as he pets it. Sated, it falls dormant, closing its three eyes. Antauri arrived to the kitchen with the new clothes on that Stella picked out for him. He sat next to Octavia, who passes the plate of food next to him.
"So, you two done screaming for a day?" Octavia questioned, sipping her coffee.
"Um..."
Stella lets out another scream of anger and another potted plant is heard shattering in the distance.
"You know what I haven't done in a long, looong time?" Stolas questioned, smiled when he approached next to his daughter. I haven't taken you to your favorite place in all of Hell! Why don't we go to Loo Loo Land?"
"I'm not five anymore." Octavia told him. "I doubt Antauri would love that place."
"You always were so happy when I took you to Loo Loo Land!" Stolas points out. "What do you say we go there again, have a day, just the two of us? And I do want Antauri to come along as well, so he'll get to see it firsthand."
"I'd...rather kill myself." Octavia muttered sarcastically, but it got Antauri's attention when he heard that. "I was being sarcastic, don't worry."
"There we go! Anything but staying in this house." Stolas said. "Now, I'll arrange our security."
Stolas picks up a phone carried on a platter by his now beaten and battered servant.
"Security for a theme park?" Octavia questions skeptically while Stolas walked a few steps away.
"We are rich, and we're hot." Stolas states. "People want our money, and our bodies!"
Octavia and Antauri then starts eating their breakfast.
"Our money, maybe." Octavia said under her breath.
"I think what you're taking about is prostitutes and strippers from the streets that wanted money and pervs wanted bodies." Antauri states, earned a snicker from her.
"Speak for yourselves." Stolas remarked. "Now...I'm calling the only man who can f*** me!"
"What?" Octavia muttered in disgusted, drops her fork.
"Uh, language." Antauri berates him, again earned a snicker from her.
"Sorry." Stolas quickly apologized. "What I mean is who can protect me! Us! Being part of the Goetia family is rather valuable, you know."
Octavia groans and pulls her beanie down over her eyes.
At the I.M.P. HQ, Blitzo is busy doing very important work in his office, involving crude representations of Millie and Moxxie made out of office supplies that he puppets around and speaks with. Between them is a framed photo of Blitzo with a robe pulled down off his shoulders seductively and a blower beneath his teeth. The text reads '#1 Bitch' with 'BOSS' written in red over it.
"Oh, Blitzo! You're such a good boss!" Blitzo said, impersonating Millie, now starts impersonating Moxxie. "Yeah, I really want you, sir. Me too! Let's three-way!"
Blitzo lowers his 'employees' below his desk to crotch level, looking momentarily pleasured before being interrupted by the ringing of his Hellphone.
"WHAT?!" Blitzo yelled angrily, then sips his coffee.
"Why, hello, my big-dicked Blitzey..." Stolas greets lustfully.
Both Blitzo and Octavia spit out their coffee in sheer surprise. Blitzo slams his 'BOSS BITCH' mug onto his desk.
"What-"
"The-"
"FUCK-"
"Dad?!"
"Language, everyone!" Stolas scolds, then into the phone. "I have a special request~."
"Aw...Look, I just had a chemical peel." Blitzo told him, taps his desk with his finger. "So, you'll have to find someone else's face to plant that feathered ass. Also, you better bring Antauri here. Millie and Loonie are getting antsy."
"It's for my daughter." Stolas said.
"Ah. Well, make sure she washes it." Blitzo suggested with a shrug, then places the paper crown on the top of his head. "
"No! No, no-no-no!" Stolas said, taken aback. "I'm taking my daughter and Antauri to Loo Loo Land, and I was hoping you brave little imps would accompany us!"
"We're assassins, not bodyguards, kay?" Blitzo points out in annoyance. "Don't invite us to shit unless someone's gonna die. Also, I don't think Antauri would like this place that's already a shithole."
"I'll pay you~." Stolas cooed.
"Pay me what?" Blitzo inquires with interest.
"Moneyyyy~." Stolas answered.
"Done!" Blitzo accepts.
Blitzo hangs up and accidentally slams his phone down on the desk hard enough to smash it to pieces. After a brief annoyed glance at it, he pulls out a megaphone.
"M n M, get in here!" Blitzo shouts. "We're going to Loo Loo Land!"
"Loo Loo Land?" Moxxie repeats in confusion, opens the door.
Millie excitedly smashes her head straight through the office doors glass.
"LOO LOO LAND?!" Millie exclaims excitedly with stars on her eyes.
"Loo Loo Land!" Blitzo shouts.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!?" The voice of Loona yelled in annoyance.
In Loo Loo Land, a van with an I.M.P. decal spray painted on the side pulls into a rather empty parking lot. Moxxie exits the van and opens the side door. A ver cramped Stolas extracts himself excitedly. Octavia exits the van far less excitedly. Both Loona and Antauri got out of the van from the passenger side, which it got her convinced that the white hellhound will be there. Stolas dons an apple-themed hat and gestures toward the park gate. Octavia groans and pulls her hat low over her face.
"Sheesh, apples are some serious theme here." Antauri said, raised his eyebrows. "Wonder what's next, pumpkins? Carrots? What, cabbages or tomatoes?"
Both Loona and Octavia couldn't help but chuckle of his remark. Millie also finds it funny as she scooped him up and hugs him.
"Now remember, this is work and work only." Blitzo informed him. "Me and my crew are not here to satisfy your perverted bird needs, alright?"
"Hey...Dad..." Octavia said in disgust. "Do we have to-?"
"Okay, yeah. Hold on right there, sweetie." Blitzo assures her, then turns to Stolas. "If you try fucking my little ass in that park I swear to-"
"You are so cute when you are serious." Stolas flirts, flicks his nose.
"Um, is he always like that?" Antauri asks, raised his eyebrow. "Cuz' this ain't right."
"Let's just stay out of it, kid." Loona suggests with assuring smile. "This is between those two."
"I'm literally gonna be sick." Octavia said in annoyance.
"Oh, crumbs! I knew today would be a lot!" Moxxie exclaimed. "What do you need?"
Moxxie fishes around in a fanny pack and throws out several pill bottles as he list off his inventory.
"Anti-acids? Ibuprofen?" Moxxie asks.
Moxxie shows Octavia several hypodermic needles of a glowing of a glowing, acid green substance.
"Morphine?" Moxxie finishes his listing.
"That was figurative, old man." Octavia points out, crossed her arms and walked away.
"What's that stuff?" Antauri questions, looking at the needles.
"It's nothing, sweetie, don't worry about it." Millie assures.
"Oh, right." Moxxie said, chuckles sheepishly.
Moxxie discards the needles into a nearby baby carriage, where a baby imp happily reaches out to play with its dangerous new 'toys'.
"But she said it was literal." Moxxie said under his breath.
"Woooooow! I haven't been to this place since I was a tot!" Millie said excitedly.
A large letter falls off the sign of a nearby ride, crushing the teenaged imp underneath.
"You've been there before?" Antauri asks, confused.
"Yup!" Millie answered. "It hasn't changed a bit. Ohhh! LOOK! It's Big Woobly!"
Millie gestures toward a hideously malformed animatronic dinosaur, which opens its mouth and lets out a terrifying, demonic shriek. Antauri growls at the animatronic, brings out a knife and about to lunge at it, but Loona manages to grab hold of him.
"Whoa, easy there, kiddo. You'll get to kill someone when you're on a mission." Loona told him, then turns to Octavia. "Sorry, he gets angry easily."
"I can tell, he's feisty with a scrappy remark." Octavia said with a giggle.
"That is...deeply upsetting." Moxxie comments.
"Oh, come on! It's fun!" Millie protests. "You've never been there?"
"No." Moxxie answered. "Theme parks always disturbed me, especially the mascots."
The parks mascot, Loo Loo, appears out of nowhere behind Moxxie and the hellhounds.
"Well, hey there!" Loo Loo greets them, making Moxxie jumps in terror.
It also got both Loona and Antauri spooked, but the white hellhound doesn't take kindly for that as he stabs him instinctively with his knife, killing the mascot. Millie gasped and quickly took Antauri away while Loona, Blitzo, Octavia, Stolas and Moxxie follows her.
"How can you like this dump? This place reeks of garbage molded with rotten cheese and incorporate shame." Antauri points out.
"He's not wrong." Octavia agrees with a snicker.
"And you made your kill here, kid. Nice work." Loona praises the white hellhound.
"I love this place! My parents would bring me and my siblings here when they could swing it." Millie explains. "Money-wise."
Moxxie looks over to see a worker wheeling a wheelbarrow piled to the brim with money into a nearby giftshop. The two imps approach the window, where novelty cups and stuffed apples are for sale. The cups appear to cost at least 29 souls per.
"Yeaaaah. The prices do seem rather criminal." Moxxie points out. "I mean, that much for a novelty cup that you use one time?"
"Cause it's Loo Loo Land!" Millie shouts excitedly.
Blitzo takes a swig from his novelty cup.
"Listen to your hoe, Mox." Blitzo told him, but thought of an idea. "How 'bout I take the first watch while you two have a little fun?"
After Blitzo took off his sunglasses and winks, Millie thought of a ride she wanted to try.
"OOOOOH! We gotta do my favorite ride!" Millie shouts with a big grin, lifts her husband up and ran.
"Oh, yeah? Wh-which one?" Moxxie asks nervously.
Cut to a shot of a lone imp riding a roller coaster named 'The Lawsuit' that suddenly plunges off a sheer 90-degree drop at incredible speed while also on fire and with its rider hanging on for dear life. The coaster violently plunges into a tunnel in the ground.
"Oh, crumbs!" Moxxie whimpers in fear.
Then, Moxxie vomits into a trash can after having left the ride. A vomit-covered family walks by in the background, glaring disapprovingly at Moxxie. A massive dragon-like creature from a nearby petting zoo looms overhead, also glaring at Moxxie.
In another part of the park, Stolas, Octavia, Loona, and Antauri walk along the path, as Blitzo takes up positions all around them with his rifle, on the lookout for any danger. A group of imps creep up behind the booths, ropes, knives, and pitchforks at the ready. They quickly scatter as Blitzo looks in their direction.
"Seems those imps are onto us." Antauri said, sniffing the air when Loona nods with an agreement.
"Learned from Loona?" Octavia inquires curiously.
"Yep, I taught him what hellhounds can do." Loona told her. "Millie and fatty taught him how to use guns, and how to fight in combat. And let me tell you, he made 5 kills."
Octavia was surprised and impressed of Antauri's kill counts which happens to be 5 humans, but he killed a mascot which it'll be his 6th kill.
"So, that music you listen, was it heavy metal?" Antauri asks, earned her attention.
"More or less." Octavia answered. "What about you?"
"There's a human song I used to listen, it's called Metalingus. I think I have that." Antauri answered, taking out his phone and searching the songs.
He muted the volume while playing that song. As soon as they heard the beat, Octavia and Loona's eyes widened and they actually began to smile. The three of them began actually singing together as they listened to the music.
(A/N: Look it up on Google and search for Alter Bridge Metalingus. It's good song and a theme for the Rated R Superstar, Edge.)
Antauri, Loona, and Octavia (Sings):
I've been defeated and brought down
Ahhhh
Drop to my knees when hope ran out
Ahhhh
The time has come to change my ways
On this day, I see clearly
Everything has come to life
A bitter place, and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all, leave it all behind
Yeah
I'll never long for what might've been
Ahhhh
Regret won't waste my life again
Ahhhh
I won't look back, I'll fight to remain
On this day, I see clearly
Everything has come to life
Bitter place, and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all behind
On this day, it's so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance, to chase a dream
Another chance to feel, chance to feel alive
Fear will kill me, all I could be
Lift these sorrows, let me breathe
Could you set me free?
Could you set me free?
On this day, I see clearly
Everything has come to life
Bitter place, and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all behind
On this day, it's so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance, to chase a dream
Another chance to feel, chance to feel alive
Eventually, the song ended and Antauri turns off the phone.
"Not a bad song, Antauri. You know, you're ok." Octavia said with a smile, pats his head.
Stolas smiled at that sight, seeing her daughter gets along with both Antauri and Loona while listening to the song. He noticed Blitzo is next to him.
"You know, it's quite thrilling to see you on the job, Blitzey." Stolas flirts, strokes his horn.
"Save it, bitch. I'm working." Blitzo growls, but turns to Antauri. "And kid, that's a cool song."
"You both need to get a room." Octavia and Loona said at the same time.
"Hey, I am not a day-hooker!" Blitzo retorted.
A woman walking nearby with her baby glares at Blitzo before continuing with a huff.
"What? I just said I'm not one, prude!" Blito said, flips her off.
"Oh! Look, Via!" Stolas said with a gasp.
Stolas points excitedly at the circus tent. A demon mother is struggling to pull her crying son into the tent.
"You used to cry such tears of joy at this show!" Stolas states.
"Oh no..." Octavia said with panic.
Cut to a flashback to Octavia as a young girl, as she is pushed against the stage by an excited crowd of imp children, as Robo Fizz sparks and cackles maniacally leering at her, who soon breaks into tears. A younger Blitzo is seen in the background tending to a food cart, dressed and painted as a clown, scowling.
Cut back to the present.
"I hate that fucking clown." Blitzo and Octavia said in annoyance.
Pan to Stolas, who's been captured and hoisted aloft by the crew of imps from earlier. Stolas' arms are bound and his head is covered by a cloth sack, and the imps are pointing various weapons at him.
"Oh, Blitzey~!" Stolas called him, unconcerned. "I need my bodyguard, please!"
One imp jumps to try and skewer Stolas with a pitchfork. Blitzo quickly brings his rifle to bear while Antauri quickly brings his throwing knife, shooting the imp in the torso while throwing a knife at the second imp in the head, splattering Stolas' head with blood. The other imps quickly scatter.
Octavia, Loona, and Antauri enters the big top and finds a seat. Blitzo carries Stolas in, head still covered in the blood-soaked sack, sets him down, and walks off to take position. Stolas makes no move to remove the sack, until Octavia annoyedly rips it off her father's head.
"Hey-hey-hey-hey-heyyyy, Implings! It's me, the Robotic Fizzaroli!" Robo Fizz greets the crowd with a glitching and sparkling voice. "Shipped from Big Ozzie's factory to bring you a wonderful show celebrating Loo Loo Land, spelled with 'O's', to avoid lawsuits! H-H-H-H-H-Hit it!"
Robo Fizz has an appearance similar to the jester demon but with key differences, such as pupil-less lime eyes, neon color scheme, and the lack of a demonic tail. He wears a jester cap with bells, lime ruffle with a black collar with bells below, and a happy face on one shoulder and a sad face on the other. The outfit has red and dark teal stripes with a yellow trim at the bottom along with neon hearts. His limbs appear to be more like tentacles than proper jointed limbs, able to flex and bend far more than normal joints could. On posters and ads, it's shown that he has a forked tongue, striped teal and black. He speaks with stutter often sparkling indicating that he's in a state of disrepair, or is of shoddy craftsmanship.
Stage lights turn on and point at Robo Fizz as he begins to dance and sing a song of the same name as the park.
Robo Fizz (Sings):
Loo Loo Land, Loo Loo Land!
The curtains open to reveal Robo Fizz's band, Fizzaroli n' Friends, composed of various hideously decrepit animatronics, including Big Woobly on guitar.
Robo Fizz (Sings):
Everybody sing along with the Loo Loo Land!
Robo Fizz goes around pointing and gesturing at various demons in the audience. Stolas looks excited when Robo Fizz gets to him, but this is short-lived as Blitzo pops up and points his rifle at Robo Fizz, who dashes back to the stage.
Robo Fizz (Sings):
Ev'ry boy, Ev'ry girl, Ev'ry woman, Ev'ry man loves Loo Loo Laaand!
Platforms in the stage rise up in time with the music.
Robo Fizz (Sings):
Loo Loo Land, Loo Loo Land!
Everything is beautiful at Loo Loo Land
Ugly children holdin' hands in Loo Loo Laaand!
Robo Fizz grabs various imp children out of the audience and wraps them up in a big hug, before jumping up and tossing them away. Most of the children into the bleachers, while one soars behind them.
Robo Fizz (Sings):
Everybody's friendly
Robo Fizz hugs Big Woobly so hard that its neck breaks a bit more than it already been.
Robo Fizz (Sings):
And nobody is mean
Robo Fizz dashes over the two-headed, banjo playing bear animatronic and slaps it in the back. The animatronic then squirts a stream of oil from its bigger head at the face of an imp in the bleachers attempting to drown out the song with music from his phone.
Robo Fizz (Sings):
No copyright infringement's ever seen
Robo Fizz dumps a gasoline canister onto a large stack of cease and desist papers, lights a match, and setting the whole thing ablaze.
Robo Fizz (Sings):
I have a dream
(He has a dream)
I'm here to tell...
(He's here to tell)
About a magical, fantastic place called Loo Loo Laaaaand!
Octavia and Loona were sitting and absorbing the musical with disgusted boredom. Antauri didn't like the music, which he'd rather get out of Loo Loo Land and never come back.
Outside, both Mille and Moxxie walk along a row of game booths, when they are addressed by one of the vendors. Millie gleefully yanks Moxxie over towards the booth.
"Hello! Hello! Step right up and win a thing!" Carnie Imp called them.
"Oh, look, Moxxie!" Millie gasps excitedly. "A THING!"
The 'thing' in question is some sort of purple stuffed penguin creature with imp horns, wearing pink overalls. The stuffed animal is labeled with a tag that says 'THING'.
"Oh, you like that thing?" Moxxie inquries curiously.
"YEEEEESSS!" Millie answered. "I don't really know what that thing is, but I want that thing!"
"Ahhh..." Moxxie sighed with relief, smugly. "Finally, something I can handle.
Moxxie takes out some money and hands it to the carnie.
"Okay! One game, please." Moxxie politely said.
The Carnie Imp rolls his eyes and uses his tail to hand Moxxie a pistol with a cork projectile in the muzzle. Moxxie doesn't even line up the shot, instead looking at his wife as he effortlessly hits the target right in the bullseye. Unbeknowst to Moxxie, the target barley moves. He makes a 'ricochet' noise with his mouth and blows the black powder smoke clear of the gun, pleased with his marksmanship.
"Ohhhh! Strike one, little man!" Carnie Imp said with a smirk, crossed his arms and leans against the wall.
"But, I hit it!" Moxxie complains.
"Hmmm, I don't know what to tell ya, buddy." Carnie Imp said with a hum. "The target, see? It didn't go down. So, yeah...! No go, bro."
Moxxie growls in anger, and fishes another bill out of his pocket. He grabs the pistol and fires another cork, hitting the target dead-center. The target doesn't budge.
"The Heaven's wrong with this thing?!" Moxxie grunts, slapping the pistol in annoyance.
"Oh, man. A real shame, I tell ya." Carnie Imp taunts, mockingly cries.
Moxxies hisses in anger as he slaps another bill on the counter.
"Another!" Moxxie growled.
Back to the Robo Fizz show, Stolas is gleefully clapping to the music while Octavia has thrown her head back in torment, banging her fist on the seat next to her. Both Loona and Antauri were annoyed of that song.
Robo Fizz (Sings):
-body sing along with the Loo Loo Band!
Ev'ry boy, Ev'ry girl, Ev'ry woman, Ev'ry man loves Loo Loo Laaaaaaand!
The show ends with a small pryotechnic display as Robo Fizz cackles maniacally. The bear animatronic faceplants onto the stage and falls to pieces.
"Ah hohohohoh ho ho ho ho ho, how deightful!" Stolas said, claps and cheers even harder.
Behind Stolas, an imp armed with a kris dagger rises from beneath the seats ready to stab him, but Loona decapitates the imp with her claws taking its head off. The imps scream in absolute fear and run away.
"Ugh! I can't do this anymore!" Octavia shouts furiously as she stormed off.
"Wait-Uh...Octavia!" Stolas called her with concern, following behind.
Both Antauri and Loona followed behind them while Blitzo cycles his rifle, and prepares to give chase after his charges.
"Mua ha ha ha ha hoho-oh! Is that Blitzo my sensors spot up the-e-e-e-ere?" Robo Fizz asks with a laugh, crosses his arms. "I bet the kiddies are still running away from you, huh?"
"The 'O' is silent now!" Blitzo remarked with a scowl, stops running and turns to Robo Fizz.
"A-A-Awwwww, just like your audience always was when you to-told your lazy jokes here!" Robo Fizz taunts, laughing.
Blitzo removes his visors and throws them on the ground as he continues his argument with Robo Fizz.
"Bitch, I make more money killing people than you do being a cheap-ass robo ripoff of an overrated sellout JESTER!" Blitzo shouts angrily.
"Oohoohoo! Someone's salty! Real or not, though, people lo-o-ove me!" Robo Fizz mocks. "Does anybody love you...BLITZ-O?!"
"No. But, I'm really good with guns now." Blitzo said with a smirk, slams a new magazine into his rifle. "Dance, bitch!"
Blitzo switches it to full-auto and opens up to Robo Fizz, who cartwheels out of the way of the incoming rounds. Robo Fizz rapidly spins like a wheel rolling up the stairs to where Blitzo is. He coils himself around Blitzo like a snake, before using his own momentum to launch him through the top of the tent.
"Ohhhh, FUCK MEEEEEEE...!"
Outside, Wally Wackford rolls a cart of lit torches in by the tent.
Wally is a carny-like imp with muted crimson skin, curled black and white horns, a pointed tail, white hair, and black eyes with yellow sclera. He also has a long curly mustache. He wears a white shirt, gray vest, black bow tie, white pants with gray stripes, and black boots.
"Torches, I say, I say! Get you inconvenient torches here!" Wally announces.
Blitzo lands on the cart, scattering the torches everywhere which light the big top on fire.
"Owww! I say, OWWWW!" Wally shouts in pain.
The green fire very rapidly spreads to all corners of the park. Burning and melting animatronics flee the tent as Robo Fizz cackles and spins his head with demonic glee at the destruction.
Elsewhere, the carnie imp as the shooting gallery holds 600 souls of Moxxie's money, with Moxxie himself glaring at him with seething anger.
"Wow! Man, you're really starting to make this sad." Carnie Imp mocks with a smirk. "Y'know, if you suck, you suck! Guess you won't win your honey here a prize..."
"Let me try!" Millie suggested.
Millie grabs the pistol and fires a cork at a target, which misses wildly. The Carnie Imp grins mischievously, and presses a foot pedal in the booth, which causes a target to fall down.
"Ohhhh, look at that! Lucky shot, baby." Carnie Imp said as he pressed the soul at Moxxie's side of the head while Mille clapped with glee.
"Are you kidding me?!" Moxxie complains. "You-you-you charlatan!"
"Hey, uh, get lost, pipsqueak." Carnie Imp said, pushes Moxxie aside and stares at Millie. "I'm talkin' to the lady."
The Carnie Imp leans toward Millie and makes a seductive purring sound at her. Millie immediately recoils in disgust. In the background, Blitzo and Robo Fizz continue to do battle against each other as the fires spread. Blitzo is thrown up into the air by Robo Fizz and comes down through the roof of the shooting gallery, crushing the Carnie Imp under him.
"OWWWW! Oof! Augh!"
"Sir?!" Moxxie exclaims surprisingly.
"Ohhhh...Hey, guys!" Blitzo said, dazed as he quickly shakes the daze off of him. "You should probably go, uh, make sure Stolas is okay. I've got some unfinished business to take care of."
Blitzo draws his flintlock pistol, cocks it, and fires at the now burning Robo Fizz. The impact of the bullet spins Robo Fizz's head around, but when he spins his head back, he's revealed to be unharmed by the shot, having caught the bullet in his teeth. He then spits the bullet out.
"Oh, what a mouth!" Blitzo states with an impressed smirk.
Blitzo immediately grimaces when he realizes when he just said. Until, both Loona and Antauri tackled Robo Fizz down to the ground as they work together when the white hellhound started pulling his head, ripping it off while Loona throws it into the sky.
"You okay?" Antauri inquires, kicks the Robo Fizz's head away.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just peachy." Blitzo answered as the imp was about to take the chance on killing Loona from behind, but Antauri throws his throwing knife right in the head, killing an imp.
Loona turns and notices a dead imp collapse down to the ground, turns back to Antauri.
"Nice throwing, kid." Loona praises him. "So, I guess we're even."
Antauri nods with a smile.
Elsewhere, Stolas is still running after his daughter.
"Octavia?" Stolas called out.
"Just leave me alone!" The voice of Octavia shouts.
"Octavia!" Stolas shouts.
Octavia runs into a building called the 'Fun House.' Inside, Stolas is confronted with a surreal room of eyes, tubes, spikes, mirrors, and disembodied hands. He goes further into the room, looking around for where his daughter could have gone. A shadow appears behind Stolas, as a random imp jumps upon his back.
"Umm, I think I'm supposed to be bodyguarded right now!" Stolas said in annoyance.
The imp covers Stolas' mouth with his shirt sleeve, but is suddenly shot in the head and falls to the ground. Moxxie and Millie appear in the entryway, she's having just shot the imp with a pistol.
"Ugh, that's better." Stolas grunts, wiping imp blood off of sleeve with annoyance, then turns to Millie and Moxxie. "Where is Blitzey? He's my knight in shining armor, not you little ones."
"He's, uhhhh...busy." Millie answered nervously.
"Being a fool." Moxxie finished her sentence, extends the Thing to his wife, much to her excitement.
"What kind of fool?" Stolas inquires with his eyebrow raised.
"The 'everything is now on fire' kind." Moxxie answered, reloading the pistol.
Disinterested, Stolas leaves the imps, effortlessly dodging between two swinging pendulums, and heads down a tunnel into an adjoining room. There, he sees Octavia riding in circles in apple-themed rail cars, crying.
"Octavia..." Stolas said sadly.
Stolas discards the Loo Loo Land hat, which in response to his emotional state has gone from goofy grin to a sad frown. Stolas approached to his daughter, sat next to her.
"I take it you are...not having fun." Stolas said.
"I didn't even want to come here!" Octavia told him, crying.
"I'm sorry, sweetie. I...I thought you loved it here." Stolas states.
"When I was a kid and my parents didn't hate each other...and my dad didn't flirt with some...weird red dickhead the entire time." Octavia replied, sniffled.
"I'm sorry, Via." Stolas apologizes, while try to find the right words. "I'm sorry for...everything...happening right now. I know it's...a lot. I, uh-I should have listened."
"I just want to go home...but home doesn't even feel like home anymore...You ruined it." Octavia said, crying in tears.
"You need to understand...your mother and I...I just-...I felt-...She's always been...I haven't been-...Ha-...We weren't in...I'm sorry, I-I-I don't have the words." Stolas said, trying to explain, but failed.
"Are you gonna run off with him? And leave me behind? Go away where...I can't find you?" Octavia questioned, cried.
"What? No! No, no, never." Stolas answered empathically. "I'd never do that. Never. I think it's time to leave this place. You were right. You are too old for it, anyway."
Stolas carries Octavia out of the Fun House, as an imp grins maniacally in the space above the drop-ceiling, looking down on him. The imp drops down and flicks open a switchblade. Stolas immediately turns around, eyes glowing brightly. The imp immediately turns to stone and is knocked over by a pendulum. Outside, the park has been reduced to pandemonium as dusk falls. The three imps and the two hellhounds were waiting at the front entrance when both Stolas and Octavia leave the park gates.
"Where the fuck have you been?" Blitzo questions in annoyance. "Oh, good, you two made up."
"That was some fun." Moxxie adds.
"So, what would you like to do now?" Stolas inquires, turns to her.
"Oh, can we go to the Stylish Occult?" Octavia suggested. "They sell weird taxidermy there."
"Hmmm, okayyy..." Stolas said reluctantly, causing Octavia to chuckle.
"Thanks, dad." Octavia thanked him. "You're okay, sometimes."
"Thank you, Via. Thank you." Stolas thanked her, then turns to Blitzo. "So, Blitzey, you want to hang sometime later?"
"Maybe next time. I just want to go home and get Antauri to bed early." Blitzo told him as he and the others went inside of he van.
At I.M.P. HQ, Antauri was laying with Loona for the night. Loona started to like him as his own child, and she'll never forget that he saved her from the imp back in Loo Loo Land. However, Loona isn't the only one, Millie, Moxxie, and Blitzo were there for him and cared about him as well along with Stolas, Stella, and Octavia.
That's it for the 6th chapter.
