Alright! Here we got chapter everyone! Thanks so much for those that have been reading and following this story. I really hope you all enjoy this one and have had a Happy Thanksgiving where we be thankful for what we have, among them friends and family and well being alive and happy. Peace
We see a set of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots on the counter of Destiny's bar.
Red Bot: "And I tell you again mom and dad loves me more!"
Blue Bot: "No they love me more!"
Red Bot: "No they love me more!"
The two bots started to go at it till the head of the red bot went up giving off a dinging noise. We now see the one behind the little show was Destiny who chuckled at humoring itself.
It looked at the audience. "Oh what? C'mon I get bored too you know. If were not able to have fun from time to time, we'd lose ourselves." Destiny commented as the picked up the game and tossed it to the side. The sound of stuff breaking, shattering and a cat meowling in the background was heard. "Anywhoozies, lets reeeecaaap~"
A brief clip of Donner's childhood is seen showing him kill feral demons followed by us seeing Donner getting slapped by Stella.
"We got to see a little bit of Donner's past, learning about him more in the process as well as learning that mean old crow Stella absolutely hates his guts and he has no idea why. Oof, I hate to be bed with that angry crow. You'd have to pay me and get me drunk."
We now see a few clips of Donner and Octavia talking to one another followed by a few clips showing them at Howlin Moon Records.
"But on the plus side, we got to see Donner and Octavia bond a little more. Not to mention we see a very unusual Hellhound named Miguel along with his boy Rocky. Ok, recap over." Desitny is now in it's seat sitting next to the old tv on his bar counter.
"You know love isn't very easy as we'd like to think. There's always going to be problems, especially when it comes to marriage. For a successful one to work, both sides must willing to cooperate and pitch in equally for this to work. And while both sides can get hurt, unintentionally others can get caught up in the line of fire. Sometimes although not psychically but emotionally as well. If your ever in that sort of moment you have to be sure to try and talk to the ones caught in their unintentionally because sometimes, they don't know what to say."
From the sidelines a faint meowling growl was heard. *Mreeeeow...*
"Hmm?" Destiny turns over before breathing. "Oh shit. Aaaaaahhh!" A cat comes out of nowhere lunging at Destiny knocking if off the stool and begins to claw the poor thing as it was screaming while we zoom into the screen of the old tv which showed the title for the story.
Helluva Servant
Episode/Chapter 4
What The Hell is Loo Loo Land?
Right now, see hear a loud yawn followed by seeing Donner sit up smacking his beak around. His hair feathers was a mess and he was still a bit under the effects of sleeping.
With a groan he rubbed his claws against his face downwards.
The bodyguard planted his feet onto the on to the cold tiled floor below and has begun to stretch. Audible cracks and pops escaped from his back to his hands and, more so to his neck. Sighing in relief the thunderbird stood up in all his feathery glory, besides a pair of white boxers with funny looking chickens on them.
With a sigh of relief Donner glanced at his clock and saw it was only 3:00 AM in the morning. "Sheesh, it's only three in the morning? Usually, I wake up by the alarm or by Merida knocking on my door." He commented in surprise.
"But let's see...decisions-decisions..." He began to think to himself a bit.
"Go back to bed or just take it as a sign to start off the day?"
On one hand, he'd be more relaxed for the day, even if the Head Maid gets on his case about. On the other hand he could start early, maybe even continue his regimen and exercises, hopefully, without incident.
Donner hummed at his decisions before sighing. "Heck with it I might as well start it off. If there's less for me to do, maybe I can get the rest of the day off. Maybe even hang out with Octavia too. I'll just see what happens." He proceeds to go to his bathroom turning on the lights grabbing what he needed. He then stopped in front of the mirror noticing a few things standing out on his body
A few of his feathers were off in certain spots on his body, wings included. But what he noticed more was some drool slipping down his beak, to which he rubbed off from his forearm. Overall, he looks like a whirlwind came up and blew him over.
"Even though my wings are handy, it really is a hassle maintaining them at times Plus did I seriously drool when I sleep?" He asked himself while whipping himself off and started to brush his feathers. "Maybe it'd be about time for me to get these trimmed a little."
A few minutes later after getting himself groomed and washed-up Donner was now in his work attire making sure his tie wasn't off.
So far he looks prim, proper and ready for the occasion... Joy.
He then smirked gaining an idea. "Since nobodies up at the moment. I think I can take things up a little." Reaching over to a nearby cabinet he pulled out his phone that had a black casing with a little yellow electric mouse face on it including a set of earbuds.
He scrolls through his menu and found one app he wanted to use, Hellafy. Clicking it he scrolled on his options before picking one song in particular and then shuffled the rest.
(Song now playing in the background. Tower of Power. So Very Hard to Go. If you've played Watch Dogs 2 then you know where this is from.) Immediately Donner's ear drums hit with gentle instrumental tune and a small vocal as he started to bop his head to the music that was playing.
'Ain't nothin' I can say, Nothin' I can do, I feel so bad, yeah, I feel so blue' Donner hummed along with the song as he started working going down the hall and started opening up the many curtains in the palace. 'I got to make it right, For everyone concerned, Even if it's me, if it means, just me, Wants getting back'
We now see him flying up to the ceiling holding up a big duster dashing by a few places that were hard to get to too causing lots of dust to fall off going downwards in large clumps. 'Cause I can never make you unhappy. No, I couldn't do that, love' However quickly enough he sucks them up with an electric vacuum having his face covered in the process.
'Only wish I didn't love you so, Makes it so, so very hard to go, (So very hard to go) 'Cause I love you so (So very hard to go) I, I love you so.') Now we see him holding up a large bag full of meat while he continued bopping his head to the song that was playing all while he was tossing a piece to the plants that happily chomped down on their meals eating them.
'I knew the time would come, I'd have to pay for my mistake, I can't blame you for what you're doin' to me girl' We now see Donner looking in the library noticing all the books that were lying around for some odd reason confused on why it was like this.
'Even though my heart aches, Your dreams have all come true, Just the way you planned them' He shrugs his shoulders putting the earbud back in and flaps his wings miraculously all the books that were flying around went back into their shelves. Naturally Donner was pleased with how the result went. 'So I'll just step aside, I'm going to step aside, And lend a helping hand.'
He has now begun to wash the dishes in the kitchen. Making painstakingly sure that not a speck of dirt, food, or grime was on any of them, fortunately there's nothing. He'd place what he could into the dishwasher and the rest he couldn't fit manually. Even taking a quick snack in the fridge with him.
(Music ends by record disk scratch sound effect.)
But suddenly a vase came flying right into his direction taking Donner by surprise as he quickly ducked avoiding the incoming object. He proceeded to take out his earbuds and turned off his music trying to absorb what just happened. "I can't believe you slept with an imp! In our fucking bed!"
Donner narrowed his eyes at this. "It wasn't expected! I didn't have time to go to a motel!" "A motel!? Like a fucking plebian!?" He heard more yelling and stuff breaking this indicated one thing. The Queen Bitch herself was awake and from the sounds of it, Stolas wasn't on his 'best behavior' either.
Donner sighed miserably. "Sometimes I wonder why I even bother." He shook his head, mumbling to no one in particular.
Right then he turned to see Stolas nervously backing up away from his angry pissed off 'wife' wearing nothing but a red robe kicking a vase off into another direction in the process.
Didn't take long for Stella to grab something else to throw at the prince. It being an unfortunate imp servant, hoisting him up by his arm. "You want to fuck this one too?! She screeched, throwing the poor demon at Stolas who dodged him.
In the background Donner began to brew up some coffee because he knew someone else would be arriving too. Speaking of the devil, or in this case owl, Octavia came in with a very annoyed and tired expression. This showed that her mother had woken her up. She had earbuds in to block out the noise playing a song of her own. "No, of course not!" Stolas replied back as their daughter came over to Donner who gave her a small wave that she returned back and smiled a bit seeing the coffee that was being made appreciating what he did while Stella had continued unleashing her rage out onto the prince.
"You are a godman embarrassment! I'm not spending another moment looking at your pathetic! Imp! Sucking! Face!" She then noticed Donner was looking at her as Octavia went over to the table to sit down.
"What are you staring at!?" The irritable wife questioned the avian demon.
Donner did what he was taught at a young age. Kill them with kindness putting on a smile, that was fake. "Nothing Milady, I just finished up with my chore routine."
"Well quit smiling and get the fuck out of my site, you ungrateful little bastard!" Stella squawked marching out of the kitchen leaving a trail of destruction in her wake. Doesn't take a genius to guess what she was going to ranting about now.
Stolas could only sigh as he knew that some plants and other things would have to be replaced today. He then turned to Donner with a look of confusion.
"And I just cleaned up the place." He grumbles, gesturing towards the hallway. "Whooptie do..."
"Donner what are you doing up so early?"
The bodyguard turns to look at his master, finally paying attention to something that wasn't like nails on a chalk board. "I just figured I would get a head start. Couldn't really sleep to be honest." He shrugs casually.
"Lucky you didn't have to wake up that..." Octavia said bitterly making Stolas realize his daughter was in the room.
"Good mooooorning, Octavia. Did you sleep well my owlette?"
"Is that a serious question?" She asked making Stolas wince at what she said which obviously showed it wasn't the best one to ask.
Stolas would awkwardly walk towards the refrigerator, not leaving eye contact to his young owl. "What's that you're listening to?" He asked, as he looked in the the main door grabbing what appears to be some zebra meat.
"This song is called: My Whole World is Burning Down Around Me. It's by Fuck You Dad." Octavia noticed her father's reaction, so she clarified. "It's a band." "Seriously?" Donner questioned because he's heard a lot of weird band names.
"Yeah, some of it is alright." Octavia answered his question.
"Oh, how charming." The Owl prince cringed, as he grabbed the meat from the fridge, closed the door and chucks it at awaiting maw of a plant inside of the kitchen. It swallowed it whole and is soon petted by it's owner.
"You two done screaming for the day?" She questioned drinking her mug while her father was gonna answer he winced hearing her mother scream in rage breaking another object.
"Something tells me, in her case. No." Donner said in a flat tone shaking his head in annoyance. He spent all that time cleaning and now it was all for nothing before he grabbed a nearby muffin and sat down next to her starting to eat it.
He moaned enjoying the flavor. "Mmm, so good. I wish this would take all my troubles away."
"You would." The princess jabbed.
"Can you blame me?" Her bodyguard jabbed back.
She merely shrugs before taking another handful of her cereal and eating it. Stolas chuckled at what there banter actually very pleased to see them get along. Suddenly, Stolas has just came up with a brilliant idea. "You know what I haven't done in a long, long time?" He asked his daughter, playfully. He walks towards her side and proceeds with his new topic. "I haven't taken you to your favorite place in all of hell." The prince placed his hand on her shoulder. "Why don't we go to Loo Loo Land!"
"I'm not five anymore." Octavia instantly rejected the idea while her father didn't seem to bother listening.
"You always were so happy when I took you Loo Loo Land." He mushed his cheek up against hers for a brief moment and gestured to a family picture showing him with Stella who looked happy along with a little Octavia who was smiling away. "What do you say we go there again. Have a day. Just the two of us?"
The princess definitely wasn't feeling up for this. "I'd rather kill myself." She mumbled. Though her father thought otherwise.
"There we go. Anything but staying in this house."
"Um...I'm sorry but I'm lost and so confused right now." Donner spoke up. "What the hell is Loo Loo Land?"
"Oh? You never been there before, Donner?" Stolas looks at his protector in surprise. In all his time knowing he was certain he may have went there once. Evidently not.
"Nope, that's why I'm asking. What is it?"
"Oh, well it was one Octavia's favorite places to go to when she was a wee owlet." The prince pinched his fingers down for emphasis. "She loved the rides and most especially the main attraction." Little did he know, his daughter was cringing at all of this. Most especially at that last one.
"Still doesn't answer my question on what it is." Hearing this Octavia glanced over to Donner turning off her music and taking out her earbuds to make sure she was hearing this right.
"You've really never been there before?" She asked, curiously.
"No. I don't even know what the place even is."
"Oh, you would love it their, my boy!" He moved towards enthusiastically. "It's got games, it's got rides. It's the hottest amusement park in all of the seven rings!" He explained. "You're more than welcome to come if you wish."
"Amusement Park?" Donner was still confused and now Octavia understood what was going on.
"You're not serious, are you?" The teenage owl looked her to father hoping her ears didn't deceive her.
"Why would I not be?"
"Oh for the love of..." She grumbles, bowing her head in annoyance. "You've never been to an amusement park?"
"No. I never even heard of them."
"Not a single one?
He shook his head no. "I think all my questions and my answers is already enough evidence for ya."
"Well in that case, you can come with us!" Stolas exclaimed, joyously. This time it wasn't a suggestion. "Donner, I promise you that you will not be disappointed one little bit." He claps his hands ordering the imp from earlier to grab a Victorian telephone on a platter.
"Now I'll arrange our security."
"Security for a theme park?" Octavia questioned. "Isn't Donner enough?"
"Yeah, why would you need more? With all do respect, my Lord." He asked respectfully.
"Because it's better to be safe than sorry." Stolas replied as he paced forward a bit. "Were rich and were hot. People want our money and our bodies." "Our money maybe." Octavia noted. "Speak for yourself Princess." Stolas replied with a smirk. "Isn't that right Donner?"
"Ehh..." He tipped his open palm in a kinda gesture, mostly downplaying that body comment.
"Now I'm calling the only man who can f*** me!" Stolas grinned dialing the number.
Hearing this made Octavia pause dropping a handful of cereal in the process. "What?" She was very much disturbed.
"Who can protect me. Us!" Stolas quickly corrected himself. "Being part of the Goeita family is rather valuable you know."
The princess could only groan in annoyance, pulling her beanie down to her eyes in embarrassment. Donner just simply sighed in annoyance as he took another bite of his muffin.
An audible 'what' escaped from the phone. Stolas already has this flirty charm dialed up to eleven. "Why hello, my big dicked Blitzy." At the sound of that, Octavia turns away spitting out her coffee in total surprise. While Donner had just taken one last bite of his muffin before chocking on it. Not long after spitting it out as well.
"What the fuck dad/sir!?" Both Octavia and Donner said at the same time using two different words at the last of their sentences.
The Owl Demon flinched at the sound of all three of them hollering. "Language, everyone!" He defused.
"He's seriously saying that?" Octavia turned to Donner. "After what he just said?"
"No, I'm with you on this one." Donner replied in a flat tone.
Stolas turns to talk back through the phone. "I have a special request... It's for my daughter..." Whatever his caller said definitely made the prince feel grossed out. "No! No, no, no! I'm taking my daughter to Loo Loo Land and I was hoping you brave little imps would accompany us?..." He begins to twirl the phone wire around his finger seductively. "I'll pay you... Money!..."
Suddenly the line went off but despite that Stolas didn't even seem to be bothered at all.
He placed his phone down and he was shaking enthusiastically, the owl's feathers ruffling up as he went. "Oh, this is going to be great! You two can go ahead. I'll be there shortly. Our escorts will arrive soon enough!" As he left Octavia groaned once more only this time planted her face into the table while Donner put a hand on her shoulder.
"Donner...please kill me right now..."
"Sorry, no can do."
An hour had now passed since Stolas had made the phone call for his and Octavia's 'security.' Which was odd enough since Donner was more than capable of protecting them both. But on the other hand, the extra help could always come in handy.
Although Donner knew full well who his master had called. He wasn't going to like this one bit, but in all honesty, anything was better than listening to Stella who had drove off let loose some steam to wherever she released it. Speaking of Donner right now he was in front of the palace sitting right next to Octavia playing Angry Birds like he usually does whenever he's bored.
"Oh, come on stupid birds..." Donner sighed as he continued playing. "Were supposed to be kin. C'mon fly!" His interest in his game was immediately stopped upon hearing Octavia groaning. "Hey, what's with you?"
"Hmm?" She turned to look at her bodyguard, lost in her own thoughts perhaps.
"You've been groaning for about..." He paused taking a look at a Simpsons watch on his left wrist. "One hour and twenty-five minutes which started in the kitchen."
"I don't want to talk about it..."
"Don't sound like nothing to me." Donner noted putting away his phone. "C'mon talk not your bodyguard, but your buddy Donner." He said in a humorous tone. She on the other hand raised an eyebrow at the way he said it. "Too much on that part?"
"A little bit." Octavia answered.
"But seriously though," He continued trying to get her to talk. "Is something wrong?"
"Donner I really don't want to go to Loo Loo Land."
"How come?"
"I just don't want to go." The princess said sternly, not wishing to specify.
"Well, you're dad kind of does have a point. Instead of sitting around, wouldn't it be better to go out?"
"Donner you're not listening to me." Octavia said still holding her annoyed tone. "Dad is just using this an excuse so he could hang out with that imp guy."
"Eh...I don't think he is."
"Well what is it then?" She glared.
Donner held out his hands in defense. "I don't know take it easy. I mean you've been spending time with me. So maybe he sees this an opportunity to hang out with you?"
"Yeah right." Octavia scoffed.
"When was the last time you two actually had fun together?" Donner questioned out of curiosity a bit concerned by where this was possibly going.
The Owl Demon doesn't say anything. While Donner has been good company, she didn't wish to disclose her personal baggage. The one of few times she was happy were the times her father took her to see the cosmos. The stars shining and glistening above the moon, both parent and child bore witness to many wonders. Now... She wasn't so sure anymore.
"Donner...can you please drop it...for now at least?" She asked not wishing to talk about it any further.
"Alright." He frowned.
Donner didn't like that answer and knew that something was bugging her right now. He really wished she would talk to him, but then again up till only a couple of weeks ago did they finally met and got to know each other. So it really wasn't a surprise that Octavia wouldn't bring everything out to the open. Not yet at least, but he just hoped that she would be alright in the long run. His thoughts were broken as they spotted a black van drive up the mansion towards them.
"Alright, about damn time." Donner said standing up as he watched the vehicle swerve parking right in front of them. On one side of the van was a cheap messy paint job showing a logo with three letters reading I.M.P.
"Sir, do you always have to keep parking like that!?" A whinny voice asked from inside of the vehicle.
"Oh, c'mon! How else would I park the van?" An eerily familiar voice escaped from the van followed by two imps coming out from the back seats of the vehicle. One had white freckles with wavy white hair that reached to his wavy black and white striped horns wearing a suit with a large red bowtie and a set of shades.
The female had short dark purple hair. She had long black eyelashes that extend past the sides of her hair. Her two black horns with three thin white stripes and grayish black hair with a white spot in the center, and a fringe that covers the middle of her right horn. She was wearing a suit as well along with torn up black pants including a set of shades.
"Maybe like a normal person!?" The whinny voice was coming from this male imp while the female imp right next to him spoke up with a very thick country ascent.
"Oh come on hun, no harm done.
"My aching neck says otherwise." He complained rubbing it.
"Ok, enough bitching Mox. We got a job to do." The second voice exclaimed loudly from inside. Upon seeing Donner and Octavia the male imp spoke up. He was the one whining from earlier. "Um...where's Prince Stolas?"
"He's just finishing prepping up." Donner replied back. "He'll be down in second."
"He better be..." Octavia muttered in a bitter tone.
"Hey what's the hold up!?" The second voice called out still in the van exiting out of the van. A very lanky demon with a pointed tail that, on the contrary, a large, pointed head with curly horns. His sclera are yellow with red irises. Much like most imps he had crimson skin with white spots covering his right eye and the tip of his tail, black and white striped horns with a small black horn between them, and subtle black markings around his eyes and tail. A heart-shaped skull symbol is located on his forehead. Much like his coworkers he was also wearing a suit underneath a torn collared coat with red buttons including a set of shades of his own.
"Your boyfriend is getting dressed." The little lady replied.
"Didn't know the circus was in town either." Donner jabbed at the taller imp before him who took off his glasses giving him a glare.
"Oh, bite me you stupid Pidgeon." The imp before him retorted back while his employee's watched this transpire along with Octavia.
"Wow, nice comeback." The thunderbird said sarcastically. "Had I known you were a comedian, I would've been left in stitches."
"Trust me you would be in stitches if things were to go my way."
"Oh yeah? What's that?" Donner questioned.
"If things were to go my way, I'd pluck ever single feather from you're body." "Hmhm." Donner confirmed he was listening to him sarcastically as he went on.
"After that I'd deep fry you." "Hmhm." "Then I'd stuff your feathers make a pillow and I'd have not only the best meal but the best fucking sleep in my life!"
As they continued doing this Octavia glanced over to the two imps raising an eyebrow in confusion. They simply both shrugged their shoulders showing they were just as lost and confused as she was.
"Uh huh, in that case you would have a problem." Donner pointed out. "Because most that try they end 'walking funny; afterwards."
"Oh..." The tall imp chuckles halfheartedly. "I'd like to see you try you bucktoothed freak."
"We've already done this before." Donner replied in a bored tone. "And as I seem to recall, you wailed like a baby back bitch."
Now that got the boss' attention. "You got lucky with that one." He defended. "If you weren't working for that rich bitch, I would put you down to my level."
"Oho, you wish. But come to think of it..." Donner paused trying to remember. "I heard one rumor saying that you mooched off your ex girlfriend using her money to start up your business and then when you dried her out you came running to my boss. Funny how karma works you fucking leech."
"What did you just call me, you skinny little pissant?" The boss glares deadly at the bodyguard. "And who the fuck told you that?"
"It's hell, there's ton of gossipers. Really nosey ones too..."
"I know what that's like..." The white-haired imp commented in a bland blunt tone.
"Shut up, limp dick!" The tall imp growled. He turns his attention back to the thunderbird. "Listen here candy pants, the next word that comes out that hole of yours I'll stick this here toy in and fire!" He pulled out his handgun.
Donner instead laughed at the part 'candy pants' mainly because it was so true but so stupid at the same time. "Ok, ok. I'll stop." He then gains a smirk. "But I gotta ask."
"Ask what?"
"How's the thing?"
"What thing?" The tall imp was confused while Donner kept his smirk.
"Oh, you know..." Donner drags on. "You seem to love holes; I'm just wondering if you've closed one in particular." He winked.
The tall imp growled at this growing pissed off before the white-haired imp spoke up. "Ok, I'm so confused right now. What in the blazes are you even talking about!?"
"Oh, he didn't tell you?" Donner looked to the duo, to which they shook their heads no. "I was hired to kill him."
"Wait...what!?" The other male imp exclaimed. "Come again?" Was the two words from the female imp, while Octavia was generally surprised to hear this.
"Hmhm. I would've finished the job too, if it wasn't for my master giving me the order to stop. A second late and he would've been zapped, like a bug."
"I had you dead to rights before you pussed out!" The tall imp chimed in.
"Nope other way around." Donner dismissed.
"Bullshit it is!"
"Bulltrue"
"Bullshit!"
"Well whatever the case, at least I got the last laugh in it. " Donner's grin grew even more. "The bullet hole on your ass is proof of it too."
That most certainly struck a nerve. "Why you inbred-bucktoothed-dick sucking-little-sonuvabitch!" The imp points the weapon at the taller creature, finger inches away from discharging.
But before he could do anything Donner easily and swiftly disarmed him zapping it out of his hand. "Oh please, you don't even know the first thing about me. One cheek wonder."
"One cheek wonder?" The female imp was confused while the other male imp was doing his best not to laugh.
"YOU SON OF A!..." He jumps up to the thunderbird, really trying to tackle him to the ground.
Donner rolled his eyes at this and jumping to the side while the imp only got a face full of concrete. Donner laughed at his misfortune. "Ooh, sucks to be you, doesn't it?"
The imp growled, slammed his fist into the ground before coming back up to strike him again before taking into the air. Naturally in frustration Blitzo tried to jump after him, however he failed because Donner couldn't be reached and continued laughing at his misfortune. "Quit laughing and get back down here you little prick!" The tall imp persisted.
"Nope, I'm good up here."
"When I get my hands on you, I'll be sure you're buried alive!" He pointed at the the flying avian.
"And the fact that you still haven't succeeded just goes to show you ain't doing so well."
"Fuck you!"
"No thank you!" Donner retorted back continuing to laugh before someone cleared their throat. They all look to see it was Stolas who was wearing a white t shirt and red shorts.
"Mind telling me what you're both doing exactly?" The older owl demon questioned.
"He started it!" The imp snitched, pointing his finger at Donner.
"Eh, more like your head of hired security tried attack me first." Donner answered in a flat tone as he descended next to Octavia. "Which if I may add was very lousy attempt."
"Oh, blow me." Blitzo exclaimed.
"Not even on you birthday worm bait." Donner retorted back.
"Bitch."
"Tampon face."
"KFC reject."
"Cheating Bastard."
"Alright that's enough. Both of you." Stolas spoke up ruffling his feathers for a brief second.
"As fun as this is, I have to agree sir." The scrawny imp commented but was actually enjoying the show.
Donner smirked glancing at the tall imp glaring at him. "You heard him."
"Just shut up already."
"Blitzo that's enough." Stolas said in a firm tone and looked over to his servant "The same goes for you Donner."
Donner stood straight and at attention. "Sorry, my Prince." He bowed.
"Now, let's by on our way, shall we?" Stolas made his way to the van with his daughter in tow including Donner. As they were going Donner flipped Blitzo off and he turn flipped him off grumbling underneath his breath picking up his gun.
"If he wasn't working for him, he'd be dead. Arrogant prick, talking down on me. Oh, I'm already hating this fucking job."
"Well sir don't forget you accepted it and our company needed it." The white-haired Imp pointed out. "Also, sir, is what he said true?"
"Moxxie I fucking swear if you bring up me getting shot in the ass I'll rape you and your wife before killing you both."
"I'd rather you didn't, sir." Moxxie glares.
A little while later after taking a detour the van made it down to the Greed Ring. Once they arrived in a very empty halfway full parking lot the door was opened by the Imp Moxxie allowing Donner to exit out first before motioning the noble demons inside to come out. Naturally Stolas was excited as he stepped out while Octavia on the other hand wasn't so thrilled about this one bit.
Stolas proceeded to put on an apple cartoon hat waving his daughter to come on and follow him.
Octaiva groaned putting her beanie over her face tugging onto her coat.
"So...this is what an amusement park looks like..." Donner commented as he walked with her gazing at the place they arrived, he saw a handful of rides in the distance with one of them being a rollercoaster and a Ferris Wheel as well. He also read the sign reading Mammons Loo Loo Land, and at the very end of it one of the three O's was barely hanging on including a weird looking clown that had a stretched arm over the entrance holding a 'welcome' sign. "It...looks ok...I guess. "
"Trust me, kid. You'll love it here!" The enthusiastic Imp, Millie replied. "C'mon, Mox!"
As much as the thunderbird wished to know more. He couldn't help but overhear Blitzo talking to his master. And he kinda wished he didn't hear another word out him.
"I can't believe I'm back here..." Octavia muttered and Donner heard her. "Why's that?"
Octavia looked at Donner, in all honesty she really didn't want to talk about it. Especially with these three weirdos guarding the three of them, most especially that taller one. Lucifer knows why.
"So...when was the last time you were ever here?" "Not long enough..." Octavia replied bluntly. "So you've never been to an amusement park? This your first one?" "Yeah, first time."
"Well you'll definitely be in for something." The princess stated oh so sarcastically.
As they entered they heard Blitzo speaking to Stolas as he was walking next to him. "Now remember, this work and work only. Me and my crew are not here to satisfy your perverted bird needs. Alright?"
"Hey, dad do we-" Octavia tried to ask her father a question only for the hitman to interrupt her. "Okay, hold on right there sweetie" The tall imp points his finger at the owl prince growling, "If you try fucking my little ass in that Park I swear to-" Stolas leans down, playfully poking him in the nose. "You are so cute when you are serious." "I'm literally going to be sick." Octavia said, feeling repulsed by this scene before her.
"Oh crumbs. I knew they'd be a lot. What do you need?" Moxxie asked as he reached into a phanny pack. "Antiacids, ibuprofen, morphine?" He asked pulling out pill bottles and lastly a few needles. "That was figurative old man." Octavia said as she continued walking making him nervously chuckle. "Oh right." He was about to throw the needles into a baby carriage until Donner stopped him. "Hey-hey! What the heck are you doing?"
"What?" The white haired imp looked at Donner confused.
"Your gonna pour those in a baby carriage?" He motions to the very thing itself with an infant imp inside. "What's wrong with you?"
If Moxie's eyes didn't already pop out of his head, they may just as well when he realized what he just did. "Oh no! My morphine!"
Donner shook his head as he caught up to Octavia. "Stupid."
"Well hey there!" A voice said and they heard Moxxie screaming making them turn around to see an apple mascot? "I'm Loo Loo, welcome to Loo Loo Land!"
Donner raised an eyebrow at this. "Huh?"
"If y'all get hurt here, just try and sue us!" The ugly apple shamelessly states.
"What the hell?" The bodyguard couldn't help but say.
With an excited gasp Stolas leans down to his daughter. "Look Via. It's Loo Loo." He said motioning to the apple.
"I have a question." Octavia said which got the apples attention with one of his eyes falling out. "Well ask away little girly. Ayup! Ayup! Ayup!"
"Is it true that this place is just a really shameless spin off to Lucifers far more popular Loo Loo World?" She asked with a smirk while her father got a worried expression.
"...No." Loo Loo answered.
"Spin off?" Donner was confused by what she meant by that. "You lost me there."
"Someone ripped off one of the amusement parks here and claimed it was original." The princess answered. "Quite frankly, this place reeks of insecure corporate shame.
"Oooh, ok so basically, this place is a rip off." Donner understood where she was going at with this.
She placed her hands in her coat pockets, nodding her head. "Yeah. Very unoriginal by the way."
Stolas nervously laughed at the scene his daughter was making before taking her head. "Why don't we go check out the rides?" He took her along. "Come along Donner." "Ok." Donner proceeds to follow them. "That chicks creepy huh?" Loo Loo asked before Donner glanced over as he was walking giving him a death glare freaking him out. "Whoa! That dude is even scarier!"
"Yeah, wait till her dad tries to diddle your holes." Blitzo followed the trio, irritably. "And the other guy tries to electrocute you alive." He added.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Loo Loo asked turning Moxxie and his wife.
"Don't talk to me!" The marksman glared at the mascot, poking him in the suit. "I know you a pervert under there." He would then grab his wife dragging her along to their boss
"Yeah..." The apple sighed dejectedly. We now see Stolas holding out a white t shirt the same one that he was wearing trying to convince Octavia to get a matching shirt. "I don't want that..."
"Oh come on, Via. I know you loved having one of these when you were younger." The older demon waved the shirt teasingly.
"And I say it again. That was then this now. Plus...that shirt is..." She gagged. "Hideous."
Stolas frowned a bit at this as he put the shirt back on the stand. But then pulled out a Loo Loo plushie close to it. It would've looked cute if it wasn't looking like a dog torn it up and has God knows what kind of stains on it.
"Uh...Donner what do you think? Would like a shirt?" "I guess, but I don't feel much for that one to be honest." Donner replied as he was drinking from a beer cap.
"Careful with that, my boy. Wouldn't want you to get sloppy." He masked his disappointment with a cheeky comment.
"When did you even get that?" Octavia questioned making the male avian demon stop drinking from his newly acquired item.
"I have no idea. Nor do I know what this thing is. But I love it. " Donner commented with a smile as he continued drinking from the straws. "Whoever invented this thing was a genius."
"Or a complete idiot." She said.
"Eh don't matter to me." Donner replied with a shrug. "I could get used to this."
"Assuming nobody spiked it." Octavia pointed out.
Donner gave her a flat look but dropped whatever he was gonna say and changed the subject. "So, in terms of rides what would you two suggest?"
"Oh, I know!" Stolas cheered. "Via loved the Loser when I took her to it." He pointed at the vertigo set overhead
"Ok." Donner was fine with it while Octavia groaned a bit.
"Why me?..." The princess grumbled.
...
The ride was done, and Donner commented on how it was.
"Well, I have to say, it's not as fun as actually flying. But I can see the appeal." He shrugs, with a small smile.
"My head feels like it almost fell off..." Octavia noted.
"Ah, it couldn't have been that bad." Donner brushed off. "At ninety-miles-per-hour?" The princess looks at her bodyguard funny.
"I fly at match 50 Octavia. That speed is only little to how fast I can go." Donner reminded before pointing over to a tower drop ride in the distance. "What's that?"
"What? The Dump?" She questioned.
"Really? What kind of name is that?"
"The kind that should've been condemned a long time ago." Via snarked
"How do you ride it?"
"Well, you just strap in and hold on for dear life." She shrugs. "That's assuming they even fixed some of them."
"Wanna go to it?"
"Do you really want to?"
"I don't see why not."
"Fine." Octavia sighs. As much as she doesn't want be here, the least that she could do is let him have some fun. Even if she knows it's trash.
...
We now see Donner holding up a photo showing Octavia screaming while Donner didn't even flinch a bit he was totally calm. "That was fun."
"Speak for yourself, I almost thought that thing was going to break." She stated, wabbling a little from the ride.
"I would've saved you if that ever came to be." Donner said.
"I bet you will," She smirked, playfully punching his arm. "Mr. Knight in Shining Armor."
"Any ride you want to go on?" Donner questioned.
"I'm down for it."
(Que the Montage: Inserting background music. Miss Kobayashi's Dragonmaid Do Not Let It Go Down)
We see the rollercoaster begin to raise up to the ramp. "So is this that moment where everyone screams?" Donner questioned.
"Yep." She answered just as the ride goes down igniting the ride with green fire as they held up there arms screaming away as a photo was taken capturing the shot of them.
We now the two in a hall of mirrors walking down a hall. "What do these do?"
Turning to look at her protector, she almost snorted at his reflection. It made him look like he fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch of the way down.
"What?" He looks to puzzled. He attempts to look himself in the mirror but Octavia hollard 'Wait!'. He looks back to her as she pulls her phone out and took a picture of him and that goofy look on his face.
Donner then smirked in response noticing something else sticking out. "Looks like someone sure put on a lot of weight." He teased her getting a confused look when she looked at reflection it was like she had become a turkey, the very biggest one at the store. Naturally she blushed in embarrassment as Donner laughed. "Ha! Who laughing now?"
"If you think that's funny, take a look in the mirror."
Donner looked at the one she was talking about and saw his face and her face was upside down. "Ok, even I gotta admit that's pretty funny."
Octavia was pounding her knee in laughter at all of this. "We look ridiculous!"
We now see Octavia up against a set of railings. "What am I supposed to do?"
"Just do a pose. Any pose." Donner replied holding up his phone getting ready for a camera shot. Octavia sighed exasperatingly but complied. The princess crossed her legs, leaned back against one of the railings, crossed her hands under elbows and looked up to her left at nothing in particular.
"Aaaand right there." Donner said with a smirk confusing Octavia who turned to hear the sound of excited screaming but wasn't able to react to getting splashed with water from a water ride.
She pulls her beanie off, glaring daggers at the thunderbird. Didn't take long for to start running towards him. "You utter shit!" She screeched.
"Oh no-no-no!" Donner laughed as he ran away from the angry owl before slowly backing up. "Wait-wait-wait! Mercy? Mercy?" His only response was a quick nut shot. "Ooooh!"
"Oh, I'll show you mercy!" She then proceeds to hit him with the wet hat.
Despite this and shielding himself he still laughed. "Still funny..." Donner said in a strained voice while onlookers were laughing as well watching the scene unfold.
(Montage end)
After drying off Octavia and going on a few other rides of her choosing as a form of apology we see them eating hell's own variant of a hot dog making their way through the park. "You know, even though these things could've used a bit more sauce & toppings there not half bad." Donner said with a mouthful.
Eh, who knows." Donner replied gobbling down the rest of his snack. "So any other ride you feel interested on going next?"
"Maybe something lax, I guess." She replied, taking time with her food, unlike the thunderbird.
Donner hummed looking around the area before spotting something that caught his eye. "What about that one?" He asked pointing to a giant shiny wheel in the distance
"Oh, they actually fixed the Ferris wheel?" She looked up at it in mild surprise
"Is that what it is?" Donner asked earning another surprised look from Octavia.
"Are you kidding me?" She looks at him perplexed. "Never once had you heard of a fucking Ferris wheel?"
"No. I only seen them in movies, and video games. But never really bothered finding out what they were called." Donner replied still keeping his eyes glued to the ride itself.
"I know you never been to a theme park, but I never knew you were this clueless." Octavia ribbed.
"That's because I wasn't raised like a normal child should be." Donner said and immediately the owl felt a bit guilty upon saying that. While they both grew up in the palace, they lived two completely separate lives. So it had to be the reason why he's never seen these sorts of things before.
"Hey, you want to go on it?" Octavia asked and only got a nod in response back from Donner who started walking towards it.
She ditches her snack and follows him to what's quite possibly the most tamest and, ironically, the most safest ride in Loo Loo Land. While not many give it much thought, especially if they called it the Pussy Wagon, it's not bad for casual guests.
The ride starts and by now they were high up in the air and they were glancing outside and saw the views the greed ring had to offer. "Huh, so this how it feels to be high up in the air without the use of my wings. Kind of weird." Donner commented.
The ride starts and by now they were high up in the air and they were glancing outside and saw the views the greed ring had to offer. "Huh, so this how it feels to be high up in the air without the use of my wings. Kind of weird." Donner commented.
"And not as likely to kill us compared The Loser." Octavia added her two cents.
"I guess that's why it feels calm right now." He said looking outside. "Although this place is a crap hole, this is nice."
"Yeah." She nodded looking out as well. Octavia could probably see the city out in the distance. And in a way he was right, despite how terrible the conditions are at the park she never had this much fun here in a long time. Especially without her father hovering about. 'Speaking of which, where did he go?' she peers down hoping to see some sign of the feathered fool. A six-foot-tall owl in small clothes can't be that hard to miss, right?
"Octavia? What was it like when you first came here with your parents?" Donner asked snapping her out of her thoughts. "You don't have to answer that, but I'm just curious."
The princess thought about this one carefully. While she did have fond memories of the place, not all of them are something she likes to talk about. Then she finally answered. "To be honest, it was different from how I remembered it."
"Different?" Donner was confused. "How? I remember that photo in the kitchen where you, your father and mother actually looked happy together."
"I mean, yeah, they were happy." Octavia shifted a little. "It's just that... I remember my mum buying the place for a time, mostly to keep it in good condition. Dad definitely loved to bring me along some of the rides I could go on. That one time I was there was probably when they were this happy." She smiled sadly. "I really wish they could stay that way. But I know it won't happen...never again." She bows her head low, sniffling a little bit. "I used love coming here... Now... I don't even know anymore."
"What about the rest of the Goeita family? Don't you get along with them?"
The girl shook her head. "Not really. My uncle always has I high opinion of himself, grandpa I hardly ever hear from. Really not a lot of people put much thought to me beyond a 'precautionary heir'." She scoffs in a mocking tone.
"I don't understand how that can be...You have something that I want, but it isn't it and it's not what it should be.." "What it is?" "A family..."
"Yeah, well hell doesn't always have nice things. If you wanted a family, you'd be better off." Octavia sighs bitterly.
"That's just it you know yours...I don't know mine." Donner said.
Octavia looks up to the green avian, recalling their last conversation. Why would anyone leave their own child behind, especially to put with this one big fucked up family of hers? Truth be told it has been bothering her ever since Donner told the princess. People die often here but throwing babies?! Just... Why?
She knew why was born in the first place after learning the hard way it really hurt when she found out, but to not to know where you came from. That was a feeling she couldn't understand at all. "You know sometimes I often wonder...if my parents ever loved me...what they were like...I sometimes ask myself what would it be like if I wasn't here? But somewhere else? Anywhere...All I can do right now is just...live in the moment despite how dire it can get."
"You should never have to put up with this." Octavia stated. "Besides, take it from me, I've been living moment to moment and it's not getting any easier. The least any of us can do is move forward. Not for anyone, except you." She pointed to him. "Besides you've got help from some of the staff, Merida, even Barbs. They've helped you through all of this, haven't they?
"They have and I'm thankful for that." He then moves his hand over to his chest. "But even then there's always a empty spot."
"Well, maybe you should-" she stands from her seat but doing so caused the cage to tilt a bit. She slipped and fell, with Donner just managing to catch her from his seat.
"Gotcha." He quickly pulls her in. "You, ok?"
"Yeah." She breathed. "Sorry."
"Don't be."
Despite how far he has her, Octavia can see how close Donner's beak was to her's. "Umm... You could let me go now." The princess blushed turning her head to the right, eyes still on her protector.
"Oh, sorry." Donner realized what he was doing and let her go. He then noticed that outside they were now at the very top and right now the Ferris Wheel paused.
"Umm..." She tried to say something, but she was mentally running circles over what has transpired. For the life of her she just might've forgotten it.
"You know just now, I kept my word." Donner commented.
"What?"
"I said I'd save you and I did."
The Owl Demon couldn't help but snort at that. "You're such a dork." She playfully, bumps his shoulder with her below.
"Maybe...You know, I'm actually having fun right now."
"That's good." Octavia smiles at her protector. While she wasn't really enjoying most of it, it's nice to know Donner has a chance to enjoy all of this. 'Maybe dad had the right idea.'
She then gained an idea of her own and sat down next to Donner confusing him a bit. "Um...what are you doing?" He asked as she brought out her phone.
"Just relax." The princess told him as she snakes her arm behind his shoulders, pulling him closer to the frame.
She took a photo and checked it out to be sure if she got it right and she was pleased with the end result. "I don't get it."
Octavia chuckled a bit. "I did because right now this is has been fun and I want to remember it."
"Here." She forwarded the photo to his own phone. "Something you can remember too."
Donner took it out and checked for the photo smiling, he was touched by what she did. "Thank you."
"Anytime." Via smiled. Too Donner it wasn't just her usual sarcasm or her being funny, she was truly being genuine about it. Affectionate even.
But suddenly she noticed something out the corner of her eye, all that affection disappearing but was instead replaced with irritation and a bit of anger.
From a distance she could see what looks to be your father, hogtied and blindfolded. Multiple imps running away, while that guy is carrying him around like a prized turkey. He wasn't even moving at all; he wasn't even trying to do anything at all. He was deliberately letting himself get in harm's way to that Blitzo could kill them and he was enjoying every single second of it. "That son a bitch..." She muttered underneath her breath.
"What?" Donner turns to look at what she's glaring at of course the smile on his face dropped like a ton of bricks. "Oh, you've gotta be kidding me..." He groaned.
"And just when I thought he actually wanted to spend time with me..." Octavia said now feeling like an idiot for falling for the whole ruse or even the slightest possibility. "Unfucking believable."
Donner rubs the edge of his beak, sighing irritably. "Look, how about we worry about something else? It's going to be a while before we come back down." He suggested.
"Fine..." Octavia sits back down crossing out her arms. "I'm sorry to ruin the mood Donner, but now I just want to get out of here soon as possible."
"It's okay," He says calmly. "You know what's funny?"
"What is?" She asked.
"Even though I've never been to any of these places, I almost pictured myself going there as a kid." He chuckled lightly. "Who would have thought this would happen?"
"I used to see pictures of some of them, but not a lot of folks at the palace talked about them."
"What here at amusement park?"
"Yeah." He nodded.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd assume the twins would wanna burn it to the ground." Donner chuckles again.
"I'd gladly pay them to do it." Octavia commented. "I hope this place burns."
"Ouch. Tough crowd." He gives her a toothy grin.
"Wouldn't you?" "I would yeah." Donner replied giving them both a light chuckle.
"Would be nice to go to one that isn't a walking deathtrap." He added.
"Pretty sure the human world and in there standards it would be."
"Well in that case, remind me to be very polite to him later. I could probably take you there, maybe even teach you to get a glamour."
"Glamour?" Octavia was lost when he said that. "What?"
Donner snaps his finger as electricity and light formed around his body.
He had now gained a human form. Only difference is compared to his normal form, his hair was now solid black. "Tada."
"What?!" She gasped an awe.
"Don't you have one?" Donner asked in confusion. "A bunch of demons can do it. Your dad can too."
"No, I honestly didn't see why I needed one in all honesty." She answered. Looking captivated by how white around his blue eyes and how drastically different he looks. If that's how humans looked out there, she would be curious to see what it's like.
"Seriously though you gotta show me that." She requested.
"Well it was Merida who taught me, maybe she could when she has free time."
"That would be so cool!" She smiled. "Mind if I, um..." She tries to ask holding her hand out, hoping to have a feel.
"Uh...yeah. Sure." He held out his hand at this odd request.
She carefully placed her hands on his face. Caressing the smooth skin, gliding over his ears and to his nose. Even in human form you can tell it's a little bigger than normal. But not enough to stick out. Everything down to his skin, hair, even his teeth looked so real. It was bizarre!
"This is so weird..."
"Uh...Octavia I know your curious...but now this is getting even weirder..." Donner commented feeling heat rushing to his cheeks and quickly she snapped out of it.
"Oh shit, sorry!" She flinched back, blushing herself.
Donner reverted back to his human form and just like that they realized that they stopped once more. "I think the ride is over." He spoke up.
She turns to look and sure enough the door has opened up. She sighs, knowing what this will mean. "Alright." She said and she was actually enjoying it too.
Donner stands up from his seat and leaves the cage, but not before turning back and holding his own hand out for Octavia. "C'mon," Donner said. "let's make sure nothing too crazy happens."
"Yeah...I know." She said taking the hand stepping out and immediately they were greeted by Stolas with Blitzo next to him.
"Sup, lovebirds." The hitman nodded. Meanwhile a still blinded Owl Demon was sitting down in front of him.
With a sigh of annoyance, the imp takes the blindfold off of him. "Oh, Octavia hi. I trust that you and Donner are having fun?"
She just simply walks right past the three. Not really in the habit of talking to him, least of all to that little red asshole.
Donner sighs as he follows her earning a confused and oblivious look from Stolas. "What?"
"Let's just go." He said simply. Blitzo shrugs as he lifts Stolas up, who's still tied up, following the pair.
...
Minutes go by and we see the noble demons and their Donner eating another snack, only this time it was a sandwich while Stolas was holding a balloon meanwhile Octavia's mood seemed to get better a little bit.
"How many times have you eaten today?" She asked.
"Hmm, this would make number 6. I can't help it, I'm hungry." He replied with a mouthful.
"Donner you really shouldn't talk like that. It's impolite." Stolas noted while nearby Blitzo was being a bit dramatic on the bodyguard thing popping from one place to another.
"Oh, my bad." Donner swallowed what he had.
"So, any who how have you been enjoying your day so far at your first amusement park?"
"It's ok, the rides are ok too. Although they could've been better."
"That's for sure." Octavia agreed as nearby Blitzo came up behind a bar counter holding his rifle making a mess at a nearby bar counter followed him continuing to act like an imbecile. Evidently, he just wanted to complete this job and receive payment by any means necessary.
"How about you my owlette? Been having fun?" Octavia glanced over to Donner who finished the last of his sandwich.
"I think so..."
"Wonderful." Stolas then leaned back wards graving a finger on one of Blitzo's horns. "You know it's quite thrilling to see you the job Blitzy." He said turning his head around.
"Save it bitch. I'm working." The imp wasn't interested.
"You both need to get a room." Octavia commented bluntly and this struck a nerve to the imp.
"Hey I am not a day hooker!" The moment he said that Blitzo got a glare from a passing female imp with her baby right behind. "What? I said I'm not one prude!" He flipped her off.
"Could've fooled me." Donner commented.
Suddenly Stolas gasped in excitement. "Look Via!" He pointed forward to a circus tent where an imp mom was dragging a kid who protested clearly not wanting to go inside. "You used to cry such tears of joy at this show!"
Octavia's eyes widened out in fear. "Oh no..." This was the very thing she was hoping to avoid coming here and immediately had flashbacks of when she was child.
"I hate that fucking clown..." Both she and Blitzo for some reason said in unison.
"Oh Blitzy~" They all turned over to Stolas who was once again captured by Imps with his hands tied as a sack went over his head. "I need my bodyguard please~"
But Blitzo could even react a sudden bolt of electricity zapped the imp about to stab Stolas electrocuting him and the others holding the owl hostage disintegrating into dust letting Stolas drop down to the ground. Naturally surprised by this, Blitzo and Octavia look over to see Donner holding out his right hand shaping his finger like a pistol, the tip of his claw was emitting steam. Holding up to his beak he blew it away.
"Let's just get this over with..." Octavia said in annoyance before going towards the tent with Donner right behind her while Blitzo carried Stolas inside. They didn't waist to take their seats, looking around Donner noticed that this place was like halfway full of mostly kids as he sat down behind Octavia while there hired help put Stolas down next to his daughter before he walked off while she took the sack off his head.
Purple spotlights were now seen converging onto the stage focusing on the curtain. Soon we hear a robotic voce stutter.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Implings! It's me, the Robotic Fizzarolli!" Emerging from behind the curtain was demon. Or rather a robot that resembled one. Its appearance was similar to the jester demon but with key differences, such as pupil-less lime eyes, a neon color scheme, and the lack of a demonic tail. He wears a jester cap with bells, a lime ruffle and a black collar with bells below, and a happy face on one shoulder and a sad face on the other. His outfit had red and dark teal stripes with a yellow trim at the bottom along with neon hearts.
Multiple random signs came out of nowhere pointing at the machine but every time he spoke and moved a part of his body it would spark indicating that he hasn't had a tune up in a long time. "Shipped from Big Ozzie's factory to bring you a wonderful show celebrating Loo Loo Land, spelled with Os, to avoid lawsuits!" He holds up a sign showing the difference and the actual contract he was talking about and turned around snapping his fingers. "Hit it!"
Donner watched as this very, very, very godawful performance was beginning. Literally, this was just bad, just as much as the robot before him. The animatronics used had also seen better days, they looked like they were barely holding together. He watched as this robotic monstrosity interacted with the kids and now he was beginning to understand why Octavia hated this thing.
This freakin robot most definitely terrified her as a kid and he couldn't blame her, he'd probably feel the same way if he saw on this thing performances as a kid.
As this horror freak show continued on both avian teen demons made their own faces. Octavia was clearly annoyed and pissed off with this while Donner had a blank face feeling the same way she was. Yet for some weird reason Stolas was totally enjoying it.
"How...the fuck...is this is a kids show?" He asked leaning down to her ear.
"I ask myself the same thing..." She whispered back. "Donner, please knock me out."
"I would, but your dad would probably kill me...Which I think I wouldn't mind in this case."
Five minutes later...
Much to Octavia and Donner's dismay the show had continued on and this was starting to become torture. The female owl demon held her head back slamming a knuckle down trying to vent out her frustration while Donner was trying block out the noise before falling off his seat going sideways. Finally the show was done and Stolas was happily clapping showing he very much enjoyed the show.
"Ohohoho! How delightful!" From behind a random imp holding a knife was about to strike the noble until his head was blown off by Blitzo's sniper rifle. "Oh my...What good aim you have Blitzy."
Finally, this was the last straw, she put up with going back to this stupid theme park, getting forced to go to the one thing that scared her as a kid and her father's constant flirting despite her being around? She finally had enough and groaned crying out in annoyance.
"Gah! I can't do this anymore!" Without much warning she stood up from her seat and stormed off much to Stolas's shock.
"W-Wha-? Octavia!" He went after her and this evidently snapped Donner out of his state.
"Huh?!" From where he was sitting Donner shot up glancing around and cursed at himself now realizing that he'd just lost them cursing to himself. "Shit!" He quickly got up out of the tent and darted off outside. If things weren't bad enough freakin tent suddenly caught on fire! Imps were running for their lives including the cheap animatronics that were coated in flames destroying their outer bodies even the robo fizz.
Ignoring the robotic clown Donner started to look around in every direction however he didn't see them so gaining another idea he flew up into the air to get a better view. He then began to soar over the park, his enhanced vision in full of effect.
"C'mon...C'mon...where are you?" Suddenly he spotted who he was looking for he spotted Octavia running right towards a fun house that resembled Lucifer himself. "Bingo." He starts to descend down towards them
At the same time too Stolas had just entered the fun house looking for his daughter. He looked around at the different doorways not sure which one to go through. Then from behind an imp with long sleeves jumped up behind him putting his arms around his neck. The owl got irritated by this. "Um...I think I'm supposed to be bodyguarded here!" Stolas called out and as the Imp put one of his sleeves over the owl's beak. But before it could make a bullet went through its skull. The one who shot the imp was Donner.
Stolas groaned whipping his shoulder. "That's better, where is Blitzy? Not that I don't appreciate it Donner, but he's my knight in shining armor." Upon hearing this Donner frowned in disapproval and Stolas noticed this.
"As far as I'm concerned, he's off cowboying up that clown bot." He scoffed. "But is that really on your list of priorities, my Prince? You'r daughter runs off and your still thinking about that?"
"What?" Stolas was confused by this, especially because he had never seen him like this before. Donner proceeded to take in a deep breath before exhaling. "I apologize in advance for this. But it seems like, this the only way for you to have regain some sense."
"Donner? What's the matter?" The prince asked. It was one thing for his own daughter to run off, but for his own bodyguard to berate him. He is genuinely puzzled.
Without even time to react and it seemingly slowed down Donner slapped Stolas across the face much to his shock, as it echoed. The Owl Demon doesn't say a word. To dumbfounded by the situation to process anything other than feeling for where the boy slapped him.
"Just stop..." Donner lowered down his hand sighing a bit shaking his head. "Sir, I know you just wanted to spend time with Octavia, but you hardly did that at all today..."
"But... But I was... I thought that..." Stolas stammered. Looking to where his daughter may have ran and back to his assistant. Normally he would reprimanded him for such a blatant attack, but the owl demon couldn't think.
"You only did for a little bit." Donner cut him off. "Instead, you had her with me so you could continue your fribble with Blitzo and getting rescued by him...that's the whole reason you brought me along, isn't it? You used me for your own agenda."
"No, why would I even... I would never do that to you, Donner." The prince tried to defend.
"A part of me believes that...but you did... You unintentionally did...Do know how it felt when I saw Octavia's face when she saw you with him? In your own little fantasy world? Like nothing was wrong? That was heartbreaking." He looked at him with a sad expression of his own using his master's name. "Stolas...I might not be able to understand why you did what you did or what you see in him...but I feel that you haven't taken into full account what your actions bring..."
Realizing what he's saying, Stolas bows his head in shame. And sat by the stairwell to the entrance. Many times, Stella would squawk about his infidelity, anything about him long before the affair. Octavia would lock herself in her room, she wouldn't talk unless it was a certain occasion. But now Donner, of all people, pouring all that on his face. It stung. "I... I didn't mean to hurt any of you." Stolas mumbled.
"I don't need be the smartest being to know that you love Octavia with every fiber of your being...but I don't even think she knows...At least deep down I think one part of her does." Donner sits next to him. "Stolas, you've been hurting for a very, long, long time. But so is she, Octavia is hurting just as much in her own way...Th-The way she is, and with what your wife does, all those arguments she acts so used to it... that's not right, she doesn't deserve any of that."
"I know..." The prince nods solemnly.
"Donner, I'm gonna be honest with you...I know I shouldn't be, but I feel... envious...of you."
"Envious?" Donner was surprised to hear this. "I don't understand. I'm just your servant and your an Ars Goeita. Why?"
"Because you're free to do what you want." The older bird stated. "While you work within the palace, you can decide what to do with yourself when it's all said and done."
"But sir, you're part of an important role to Hell itself."
"And where's the freedom in that?" He finally turns to look at his servant. "You were raised to be the best, yet you were given decisions on how you want to go about it. I never had that choice! Never once has anything gone my way! Everyone has decided my fate for me and I can't have a small semblance of control over it!" The Owl Demon sighs slowly, "What's good as a role when you cannot decide the outcome."
"I can't even make Octavia hardly smile anymore... That's what I'm most envious about you for. In only a whole month you've made her smile more then she has in years..."
"I...I don't know what to say..." Donner was surprised to hear this. "I was just...doing what, you assigned me to do. The moment you placed me as her bodyguard, I'm not just supposed to protect her from harm, but also look after her wellbeing, shouldn't I? I was...doing what I thought was the right thing to do. I'm sorry if I make you feel that way."
Stolas closed his eyes, sighing once more. "Don't be. I'm very much glad that you are doing just what I wanted you to do. I can never ask for a better soul to ensure that my daughter is safe, Donner. Don't ever apologize for that."
Donner smiled upon hearing that before smacking his cheeks standing up. "Sir, I think it would be a good time that we focus on finding your daughter now. But, this time try talk to her as way to say that you do care."
Stolas stood up as well. "You're right. I'll go and find her." He would go forward towards the halls of the fun house, stopping briefly to look back at his young compatriot. "Could do me a favor and watch the entrance? I won't be long."
"Eh, I'll be nearby. I'll let you two be alone though." He nodded and with that done Donner cracked his fingers coating them in electricity. He then turned to the audience/readers. "I'll give you all a small break."
Much like a movie where your FastForward we see Donner killing a whole bunch of imps with ease, either cutting them away with his hatchet or just zapping them away until we see him dusting off his hands. "Well, that's that." He turns around to see his master carrying his daughter in his arms.
"I think we're ready to leave now Donner. Enough 'fun' for one day."
"I can second that." The thunderbird agreed while nearby Moxxie was riding on a hell dragon fighting Robo Fizz with Blitzo before the beast ate him. "You ok now?"
"I'm fine Donner. Sorry for worrying you."
"Nah, that's ok. Today was fun, but I never want to come back here again."
"Feelings mutual." Octavia agreed with her bodyguard as they stopped at the entrance while behind them the entire amusement park was now in flames.
"You know Donner next time we could try another place. One far better than here." Stolas commented as he looked to his daughter. "So what would you like to do now?"
"Oh, can we go to Stylish Occults?" Octavia requested. "They sell weird taxidermy there."
Stolas hummed at that request. "Ooook?"
She chuckled the way he said it giving him a smile. "Thanks dad. You're ok sometimes."
"Thank you Via. Thank you." Stolas returned the smile as they both touched heads, embracing each other, Donner smiled at this sight too. But then the sound of an explosion and multiple screams ruined it as he stepped aside allowing Blitzo to fall with his two employees' close by.
"Way to ruin another good thing sir..." Moxxie said painfully to his boss while a cat was dragging away Millie.
"Worth it...That slutty...toy clown...had it...comin!" He commented before fainting Stolas only sighed at this turning over to his servant setting down his daughter.
"Donner would you kindly bring their vehicle over here and drive us to our next destination?"
"Say no more I'm on it." Donner commented as he went to retrieve the van.
A couple of hours later.
We now see Donner enter his room sighing a bit in relief upon entering. Without much effort he gets out of his work clothes and a split second he changes into some pajamas with a night cap resembling a panda's face and crashes onto his bed
The teenage avian demon sighs loudly into mattress. "What a day..." He turns over to gaze up at the ceiling in boredom. After, finally, leaving the remnants of the burning Loo Loo Land and having to put with the moronic perpetrator as they allowed the father and daughter to go that Stylish Occults, Donner finally allowed himself to breathe. A very long sigh escaped from his beak once more.
He then brought out his phone and began to scroll through the photo's that he took while spending time with Octavia and going on the rides. One example included a photo of him and her riding a rollercoaster raising their arms in the air as they were going down. After that we see a photo showing their reflections in mirrors that made their reflections all weird looking, they got a bunch of laughs in that hall.
The third one was of him trying to eat ice cream next to the brooding owl girl. He chuckles at this. Because right after he took the shot the frosted treat fell from the cone smudging his feathers, his shirt and his crotch. He definitely caught her giggling, when he was done getting the ice cream off of his clothes.
Another photo came to view showing a photo of Octavia posing by a ride. Only for another photo to come into view with a whole bunch of water splashing onto her, with another showing her dripping wet. Before the next showed him running taking a selfie as he run from the angry owl laughing. He had never seen her so mad, but the whole joke was worth it, he was sorry though and helped her dry off.
The other was on a wooden cutout of the apple with an axe and some cliche victim in a slasher flick. Octavia took the axe, while Donner was the victim. He put on his best scared face, so dramatic with his expression, even if he felt humiliated laying down like that. The princess sure got a kick out of that one.
The next photo defiantly to him was funny. It showed Octavia holding back her laughter laughing because Donner had the idea to make an afro out of cotton candy and he a big smirk all proud about it. While it was funny, he still ate the treat but had to rinse off his hair feathers afterword's.
Another photo came up showing him and her riding on something that was like a yoyo, the kind that spun them around as they went up and down. Donner winched a bit at that one because he nearly threw up on Octavia, but she simply said it was a form a payback for the water ride prank.
Then he stopped and paused at the next photo that was shown. It was the same one that Octavia took on the Ferris Wheel. The very same one where she insisted, taking it and shared it on his phone right before her mood soured upon seeing her father playing damsel in distress. Out of the many times he took those pictures, this one felt like the most peaceful of them all. No troubles, no drama, just Donner and Octavia alone to each other. It just felt, nice.
His eyes softened a bit, recalling that moment humming in thought. 'It is a nice photo. Plus, she has one of her own. I wonder if Octavia thinks the same thing?'
He gently puts the phone beside him as he leans up from his bed. His mind trying to ponder the question he asked himself. 'Hell, I wonder how she's holding up? I mean she seems okay, I just don't know what to do.' Donner's face start to frown.
'Hell, I wonder how she's holding up? I mean she seems okay, I just don't know what to do.' Donner's face start to frown.
'I could just ask her straight up. But then again, I wouldn't want her feeling like I'm trying to be nosey. Maybe I should wait if she feels like talking about it.' He shakes his head at that. 'Moments like that, are only time you feel a human being before they die. They just do what they can and enjoy what they have.'
He glances over to the window nearby continuing to go over his thoughts. 'Maybe I should go do something tomorrow, maybe go see how Miguel is doing. No, wait! I've got work tomorrow.' He started to growl at himself. 'In times like this I really wish could have some time alone.'
Donner proceeds to over to the window and opens it gazing at the night sky and the giant glowing red pentagram that was there. 'Is it true though? What I said to Octavia? That I'm not just a monster thirsting for death. I'm a demon, a hell born, that doesn't even know who his parents were, and...I'm also a just a teenager, like she is yearning for certain aspects I don't have... I'm also...' He pauses a bit in confusion. 'What's this emotion I'm feeling? I feel like I'm a brighter place. It's hell, so how could it be?' He leans down to the window smiling a bit. 'Oh, I get it. I'm feeling happy...But there's that other feeling... it's just been bugging me for a little bit since I arrived back home.'
He closed the window and hopped back into bed. 'I don't get it...this all happened the moment I saw...' He paused feeling his mind going blank for a split second. 'the photo...'
The thunderbird falls on to the bed, bouncing up a second as he reached over and turned it back on again. Looking at picture on the phone, Donner took in every detail from the rusty seat, the stupid grin on his face and even that cute shine in Octavia's beautiful pink gemstones... Wait, what?
He shoots up straight like a rocket his eyes full of panic. 'Oh no! No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no!' He smacks himself. 'C'mon Donner no, you can't seriously be doing this!'
"C'mon you stupid bird! You're supposed to be protecting the princess not... Whatever the fuck this is." He said, as he dropped his face into the bed.
He groaned shoving his face into the pillow. 'What the hell would Stolas think if he knows what I'm thinking right now?' A cheap drawing replica of his master appears in the background. "You're thinking what of my daughter! I'll be sure to turn you stone!"
'Wait, what am I thinking, Stolas wouldn't be like that would he? I know Stella would. She'd kill me on the spot. What about Merida what would she say?' A cheap drawing of the head maid appears over him. "Donner you should know better than to those thoughts. I'd very much advise you to be rid of them."
'Ok, not her either. What about...Miguel?' A cheap drawing of his closest friend appears. "Are you fucking crazy!? You gotta death wish or something!?"
He grips the pillows edges and shoves his face into it screaming out in frustration making a few sparks emit from his body.
"Damnit all to heaven! Why is this happening to me?!" He screeched through the pillow. Suddenly a stray bolt hits his phone, accidentally overcharging the battery, sparking up the device. Hearing that Donner frantically looked at it, realizing what he has done. "No! Shit!"
Much to his relief the phone was just fine. "I really need to find someone to talk about this to...But who? Should...I just pretend it's not there?" He groaned. "No, that ain't gonna solve anything...Wait...what about Barbs?"
"Out of everyone down here, I feel like he might know what to do." The avian demon contemplated.
"He is my mentor after all, I'd have to try and call him up when I get the chance. Hell, even try to at least talk to him. He always usually has something to say. Aside from Merida, he's the only other demon I trust. Aside from Octavia, but...right now I don't think it's a good idea to be part of this problem. Whatever it is." He then yawned loudly stretching his arms before heading to bed.
We now see the old tv zoom away from the screen as were now back in Destiny's Bar where the whole place was wreck. We also see Destiny itself sitting on its barstool and behind him were two large black words.
"Heyo everyone, I trust you all enjoyed the show? Once again, we get to see bonds deep even further. Plus, Donner now seems to start be going through a dilemma. But what kind?" Destiny chuckled a bit the way it said that. "I'm sure a majority of you have probably already guessed it, but let's be sure to keep to our seats and see how things play out. Wouldn't want to ruin this story now do we?" Desinty then hops off it's barstool.
"We all know that for the good stuff to come, it's gotta build up before something beautiful happens. It's just how it works. Anywho, I better cut this short, because I gotta clean my place. Adios everyone, see you next time." As Destiny was about to begin cleaning up the mess it stopped finally noticing the two words on the wall spelling out.
CATS RULE!
Destiny tilted it's head in confusion. "Where the fuck did they learn to spray paint?"
To be continued
Ok, now the next story I'll be working on will be Mysterious Magic, and a big shoutout to Pyrojack25 for helping out writing out this chapter.
Now replying back to reviewers
Gamelover41592. Thank you.
The saiyan boy. Much appreciated.
Tao Solaricx3. C1. Well you didn't have too, but no less it's very appreciated. C2. You'd have to point out that one to me in a P.M or something on that one there. C3. Happy to hear you are enjoying the story dude.
Marbelled Gold. Hey I found it funny myself and figured he'd have to be terrible at something to make it funny. Funny enough too, Howlin Moon Records is based off of Dimple Records which was an awesome branch until they decided to close down the business. I swear you can't find such bad ass places like that anymore. As for Destiny I feel ya, I love messing with him. As for 'main cast' I believe this'll answer your question. As for the next chapter your gonna love that one because it'll include 'the last one.'
King of 2211. That's ok dude as for Stella oh yeah she'll get something, as for her no. Not even close.
