On an unusually calm day at the office, Danny was eating glaze doughnuts and looking at his phone in the break room. He was about to text Tucker, but he heard something behind him.

"What the fuck?"

Danny turned around to see Loona looking around the cabinets and fridge.

"Um, what's wrong, Loona?" said Danny

Loona turned to Danny. She ran and grabbed him by the collar. "I can't find any booze around here."

"So what?"

"So what? I need something to drink."

Look, you can handle a day without chugging beer down."

"Fuck no, that's not going to happen, and you're coming with me."

"Where?"

"To the mall."

Loona dragged Danny to the IMP van, and she drove off to the mall. Loona drove recklessly down the streets, dodging other cars and avoiding hitting trash cans.

"I can't believe there's a mall in hell," said Danny

"It helps with adding other stores that this shit city couldn't afford to build."

"And we're going to the mall to get more alcohol?"

"Yeah, the mall has the best liquor in town."

"Can't you just do this yourself?"

"I need an extra pair of hands."

"You have a problem."

"And you need to shut the fuck up, and I don't have a problem."

Danny rolled his eyes as Loona made a sharp turn and ran over a homeless imp's shopping cart of cans.

The two arrived at a packed parking lot near the mall. Danny got out of the van and saw Loona heading toward the mall, fast on her feet, making Danny catch up.

"Can you slow down?" said Danny

"C'mon, you are walking like a girl," said Loona

"What?"

"Pick up the pace."

Loona then started to run, and Danny ran after her all the way to the entrance to the mall. Loona opened the door, and she and Danny walked inside to see the mall turned into a battlefield with demons shooting each other and explosions going off. Then, the two dodged a rocket that was flying straight toward them, and they jumped into a kinky clothes store.

"Is this mall supposed to be an actual killing floor?" said Danny as he tried to ignore a hanging gimp suit

"No, it's not," said Loona. Then, an imp messing his left leg crawled to the store, and Loona grabbed him and left him up. "What's going on."

"Everyone is trying to get to Moe's World to get to Dante's Wonder Taste," said imp

Loona dropped the imp and was speechless; Danny approached her.

"Loona?" said Danny

Loona had a determined look. "I'm getting that fucking booze."

"What's so good about Dante's Wonder Taste?"

"It's the best booze in hell, and it makes you so drunk from one drop of it."

"Woah."

"Exactly. That's why I'm going to get it."

"But you don't have a weapon on you."

"I'll improvise." Loona rushed out of the store

I hope this ends well, Danny thought

Danny went after Loona again and saw she grabbed a Uzi from a demon and shot him. She ran to the east side of the mall. Danny tried to keep up with her, dodging gunfire and explosions while blasting demons with his ice and shadow powers. Then Danny saw Loona for a moment, then a frog in a ridiculous top hat spit out a grenade that blasted him into another demon, and they both ended up behind a half-destroyed kiosk.

"Uh, my head," said Danny as rubbed his head on the ground

"A grenade would do that, you,"

Danny looked up to see a tall demon girl who was older than Danny but younger than Loona. She had dark orange skin and platinum blonde feathered hair. The demon girl wore an outfit that was a mix of ringmaster and magician, with a bright and glittery red ringmaster coat, a black top hat, a red eye mask with white lenses, a golden bowtie, white gloves, black stockings, and boots.

The older demon girl grinned and looked at Danny up and down. She asks Danny.

"So are you after Dante's Wonder Taste?"

"No, I'm just trying to get it to my friend, who also wanted it."

"I'm guessing it's that hellhound."

"Yeah."

"Hm," the demon girl said as she rubbed her chin

Look, I've got to go catch up with her."

"Hold up there, Whitey; you're going to need a weapon." the demon girl took off her hat and pulled out a double-barrel shotgun

"Um, no thanks. I don't use guns."

The demon girl laughed and said, "You're funny."

"I'm serious."

Then the demon girl used the shotgun and shot over the shoulder without looking at an imp with a dagger.

"Alrighty, then, let's find your friend together."

"Why are you helping me?"

"Hm, there's something about you that interests me." looking at Danny up and down again

Danny felt uncomfortable, and he ran off to find Loona. As he went back into the warzone area of the mall, Everytime he looked around, he saw the demon girl killing imps and demons

What's up with this girl? Danny thought

He took cover behind a wrecked show car with no sign of Loona, and the demon girl appeared right beside him.

"Man, that was fun," said the demon girl

"Look, um, who are you?" said Danny

"Glad you ask. I'm GloriaVegas, and what's your name?"

"Danny."

"Ah, what a fine name for an odd boy like yourself."

"Odd?"

Then Danny heard Loona shout, "Die, mother fucker, die."

"Excuse me." Danny then saw Loona chopping a demon's head off with a hatchet.

She was one store away from Moe's World, with a massive demon trying to get in. He noticed Loona was getting closed to the store, so the big demon pulled out a mini-gun and was about to gun her down. Danny blasted ice at the demon's head, and fell to the ground.

Danny ran to Loona with Gloria behind him, putting away the shotgun.

"So you caught up," said Loona

"No thanks to you," said Danny

"And who's your new friend?"

Gloria introduced herself, "Sup, I'm Gloria, Hellhound."

"It's Loona, and you want Dante's Wonder Taste."

"Yep, and excuse me."

Gloria clapped her hands and disappeared for a moment, then came back with a clear bottle that was shaped like a teardrop.

"Now I'll give you a sip, Loona, if you do me a favor," said Gloria

"And what would that be?"

"Give me Danny's phone number."

"Wait, what?" said Danny

"Hm…done."

Loona quickly pulled out a pen from her pocket and wrote on a nearby wooden bench. Gloria took the picture.

"Don't I get a say in this?" said Danny

"Sorry, but no Danny," said Gloria, who boop his nose

"Now give me a sip of that," said Loona

Gloria opened the bottle, and Loona took it and drank a quarter of the drink, and her leg began to wobble. Gloria grabbed the bottle as Loona began to fall, and Danny caught her.

Danny's concern, he asked Loona, "Are you okay, Loona?"

"Have you ever *hiccup* fuck a dragon and licked paint," said Loona

"Wow, she's drunk," said Gloria

"Damn straight." Loona laughed before mumbling random stuff

"Great, now I have to deal with this getting back to work," said Danny

"See you around, Danny." Gloria disappeared

Danny sighed as he picked up the drunk Loona, as he had to get back to the van and through a still war-torn mall. Danny wondered what in the past life deserved this.
