Chapter 1
Cody woke to a red morning with the bright light of the pentagram shining through the window blinds. He sat up rubbing his eyes before groaning as he stretched. He was wearing his black pajamas with red flaming skulls on them. Cody felt a little groggy as he walked over to the porch to gaze at IMP City. Hell was truly another world with all its eerie and demonic features. Only in Hell would buildings and skyscrapers have horns and evil-looking eyeballs. In the sky were hellish birds flying only to be eaten by larger flying demonic birds. Occasionally there were some normal flying demons, some sinner demons, and some succubus & incubus demons.
As Cody leaned on the railing looking at Hell's morning, he remembered when he first got here. He woke up in Loona's bedroom and thought he had died and was sent here. The memory gave him chills thinking about it. How strange that now he wasn't afraid – well less afraid. There were still plenty of demons that scare Cody, but he need not worry. His friends protect him, one of them is perhaps the most badass Hellhound in all of Hell and she'll do anything for Cody. Thinking about Loona gave Cody relief and happiness.
Speak of the devil, no pun intended, Loona woke up from her bed as well. She was wearing her Sevendust T-shirt with the Cold Day Memory album logo on it and her dark grey pajama pants. She scratched her armpit while letting out a big yawn revealing her sharp dagger fangs that could rip heads off. Blitzo wasn't up yet so Loona felt it was safe for her to be close to Cody as she hugged him from behind and Cody held her arms relishing the moment. Loona's fur was smooth and nice against Cody's skin. It felt so wonderful that Loona had adopted Cody and Loona never felt so happy to have Cody as her adopted son.
Loona planted a long gentle kiss on the side of Cody's face, "Whatcha doing kiddo?"
"Just checking out the morning. It's kinda pretty, in a scary kind of way," Cody said.
"I guess. If you don't mind the demonic crows eating each other."
"It's no picnic, but it's not like what people say it is down here."
"Yeah, zealots are a bit-ah I mean, a pain."
They continued to gaze at the red morning together. Cody playfully made shadow puppets with his hand using the wall of the apartment. Loona even joined in as Cody made a bunny rabbit with his fist and two fingers as ears while she made her hand look like a dog eating the bunny. They both made funny noises imitating cartoons like dog and rabbit.
"Ah! That's my ear!" Cody playfully said.
"Mmm, tasty bunny. Munch-munch-crunch-crunch!" Loona laughed.
They laughed some more as Loona squeezed Cody a hug from behind and then tickled his face with her tail making Cody giggle. Then she eases up to let him spin around to hug her back.
"You want some waffles?" Cody asked looking up at Loona while still hugging her.
"Absolutely," Loona answered, "Wait, do we have enough eggs and milk?"
"I think so."
Loona checked the frig and there were still some. Cody mixed the ingredients in the bowl as Loona got the waffle iron ready and set the table. As they got the first waffle ready, Blitzo came out of his bedroom wearing just his boxer shorts and was shirtless. He yawned and cracked his neck and arms as he stretched.
Blitzo groaned, "Ah, fuck me I'm groggy as a—"
"Blitz!" Loona called out firmly.
Blitzo's eyes were wide open and he saw Cody was up.
"Oh crude, I'm sorry. I have to keep reminding myself not to swear in front of our kids. Sorry Cody," Blitzo said.
"It's okay. Did you sleep okay?" Cody asked.
"Yeah, I slept like a log. That smells good."
"We got one ready. You can have it."
Blitzo smiled with his eyes sparkling, "Aw thank you, Cody."
"Wasn't that your waffle Cody?" Loona asked.
"I was gonna sprinkle a little cinnamon in my waffle," Cody answered.
"Oh okay."
The waffles were delicious. Hot, fluffy, buttery, with warm syrup savoring each bite. They didn't do much that lazy Sunday except enjoy their time off before having to go to work tomorrow. Cody was playing Super Smash Bros Brawl on his Wii Switch with Blitzo while Loona was texting on her phone. Cody didn't have school tomorrow since it was a teacher work day. Since I.M.P. was getting busier and busier with clients, they need more assassins. Which is why Blitzo told Cody about his new hires.
"You found two new members for I.M.P.?" Cody asked while pausing the game.
"I sure did and since you don't have school tomorrow, I was hoping you'd swing by the office to meet them," Blitzo replied.
"You sure about that?" Loona questioned.
"Yeah, it'll be fine. Plus, they're fans of your rock band."
Cody tilted his head sideways, "Say what now?"
"Yeah, they saw you, Crymini, Loona, Moxxie, and Vortex play at Lucifer's party and Ozzie's. Also, they're very pleased with your suggestion of disposing of Sheryl Leach. So they'll probably want your autograph."
Cody couldn't help but blushed and feel proud of himself at that. His name was floating around in all rings of Hell. Not only is he the only living human to come to Hell without becoming a sinner demon, but also he's a bit of a rockstar. However, with celebrityhood comes both love and hatred. Which is what Cody feared.
The next day
Cody and his friends all waited in the office meeting room for Blitzo and his new employees to arrive. Vortex was sitting next to Millie & Moxxie and across from Loona and Cody.
"We're getting new guys for I.M.P.?" Vortex asked.
"Apparently," Millie answered.
"It's about time. We've been jumping in and out of portals to different locations to kill targets that I almost forget where I am," Moxxie complained.
"Yeah, but who are they?" Vortex asked.
Millie and Moxxie shrugged.
"Blitzo didn't say their names," Cody said.
"He only said that they're fans of Cody's. They saw us perform at Lucifer's and Ozzie's," Loona added.
Vortex and the others smiled.
"Really?" Moxxie asked.
"Maybe we should be an official band," Vortex said.
"Totally. After all, you guys are performing at the Battle of the Bands tonight," Millie stated.
Cody shrugged, "Maybe. If we could avoid the drugs and drama that they always show in music and singer movies like A Star is Born and others."
Loona rolled her eyes with a scoff, "Oh my god, you have no idea how right you are. It's comically how much that trope is used in movies."
"Yeah, rise to fame, then for whatever reason, they get depressed, do drugs, lose touch with reality, romance drama, blah, blah, blah. It's just UGH!" Vortex agreed.
"Tell me about it. It's like—"
Before Moxxie could finish that sentence, Blitzo burst open the door abruptly startling everyone.
"Guys, I want you to meet our newest members of I.M.P.! Meet Shadow and his girlfriend Kimi," Blitzo stated loudly.
The two demons walked into the office meeting room. A male Hellhound and a female succubus demon. The Hellhound Shadow was big, muscular, and strong but not as big as Vortex. He was taller than Loona but shorter than Vortex. He was wearing black cargo pants, and a sleeveless hoodie that showed off his big strong arms, and his ears were sticking out of two holes in his hood. He had black fingerless metal knuckle gloves with metal armor gauntlets that had three sharp spikes like the Batman from the Dark Knight. He had a big demonic katana sword on his back with shuriken and kunai knives on the front of his torso vest and the sides of his hips. There was a big bowie hidden behind his back. His fur was all black and his eyes were bright white on his pupils on all red eyeballs like most Hellhounds. He looked like a really cool demonic Hellhound version of Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden.
The succubus demon Kimi was slightly shorter than her boyfriend Shadow. She was athletic strong built. She was wearing a black cowboy-like trench coat, dark grey jeans, a flaming skull T-shirt, and knee-high combat boots. She had a black and grey cowgirl hat with her horns sticking out two holes. Like most succubus and incubus demons, she had red eyes with yellow eyeballs. Her skin was bright red as were her slightly curved horns, but the tips of her horns were black. She had a scoped lever action rifle and a tactical pump action cruiser shotgun on her back. There were two Hell-style 1911 pistols on her thigh holsters with pouches on her hip full of pistol magazines. She had two cross bandoliers on her chest, one full of ammo for her rifle and one for her shotgun. She had both a knife and machete with her as well.
These two mean serious business, they're not messing around. Cody and the others couldn't help but stare and feel intimated by them. Cody gulped and scooted his chair closer to Loona.
"Shadow, Kimi, allow me to introduce the rest of the team. The cute couple over there is Millie and her husband Moxxie. The big guy over there is Vortex, the beautiful perfect one is my sweet baby Loona," Blitzo introduced.
Loona groaned a growl while rolling her eyes, "Shut up Blitz."
"And finally, the one that you wanted to see—"
"Cody Laurent. The live human boy in Hell," Kimi finished.
They both walked up to Cody to get a better look at him. Loona instinctively put down her phone and got in between them and Cody. She wasn't growling yet but she was ready to defend him. Cody stuck close to his adoptive mother. Kimi smiled as she looked at Cody while Shadow folded his arms. Kimi spoke in a subtle southern accent like Millie.
"Now Shadow, tell me. Is that the cutest most adorable thing you've ever laid eyes upon or is that the cutest most adorable thing you've ever laid eyes upon?" Kimi asked.
Shadow had a rich distinctive deep and somewhat scratchy voice that sound almost exactly like Steve Blum.
"It's easy to see why Verosika Mayday kidnapped him," Shadow answered.
Cody rose his head up over Loona's shoulder, "You know about that?"
"Everyone knows about that. Everyone knows you. There are a ton of happy demons after what happened to Sheryl Leach. Which by the way, pound it," Shadow stated and then held his fist up for a fist bump.
Cody hesitantly fist-bumped Shadow.
"Also, you singing at Lucifer's and Ozzie's was lit! Speaking of which, can we have your autograph?" Kimi asked with an innocent smile holding a photo of her and her boyfriend Shadow at Ozzie's where Cody and the others were playing in the background.
"Hah! Called it! Knew it by the nose!" Blitzo sang.
"Oh, um," Cody turned to Loona and she eased up.
Cody signed his signature in silver ink maker and both Shadow and Kimi smiled excitedly. They even took a few selfies together with Loona and she shared them on her Sinstagram and sent them to her friends. After that, they got to business.
"Alright, now that we all know each other, let's get down to business. We got a long list ahead and our clients are willing to pay top dollar. M&M, here's the rest of the names to scratch off the list of the corporate a-holes polluting the environment," Blitzo stated handing them a file.
Then he handed Vortex a file, "Vortex, the names of people wanted dead in L.A."
Finally, he turned to Loona, Shadow, and Kimi, "Loona, we're gonna roll with the new killers here. Show the ropes, how we roll, etc. Oh! Also, we have a special treat today and this one target is for everyone. All hands on deck for the platinum hellish slow painful death like Sheryl Leach. Vortex, drum roll please."
Vortex used his hands to tap on the table making a drum roll.
"Our lucky continent iiissss – Martin Shkreli!"
Everyone's eyes widened with surprise while Cody only raised his eyebrow in confusion.
"Martin Shkreli?! The Martin Shkreli?! We're gonna kill that asshole?" Millie asked with pure enthusiasm.
Blitzo gave a big smile, "Yes Millie-Billy, we are."
Millie cheered, "Yee-fucking-haw!"
Moxxie sided, "Hell yeah!"
"Guys! Easy with the swearing. A kid is present," Loona said in a serious tone.
Cody glanced at everyone, "Who's Martin Shkreli?"
"One of, if not, the most hated men in America. You want a total douchebag? This guy is unique in terms of being a douchebag," Vortex answered.
"Why? What'd he do?"
Loona turned to him, "Oh nothing, except he lied to investors, committed fraud, and worst of all, he raised prices for a drug to treat HIV . . . by 5,000% and he wasn't sorry about it at all."
Cody's eyes widened and his jaw dropped, "5,000%? Are you serious? For meds that treat HIV?"
"Yes, it's no joke. This guy is low. Like down in the gutters low," Moxxie added.
"So, it's gonna be a pure pleasure when we all get our hands on that lowlife," Vortex said flexing his hands like he was ready to claw his eyes out while smiling with his razor-sharp fangs.
"But first, we need to take care of the rest of the people on this list. Shadow, Kimi, it's time you show me how good you two really are," Blitzo stated.
"You got it, sir!" Kimi said confidently.
"We're on it," Shadow said cracking his knuckles.
"Wait a minute, what about Cody? We can't take him with us," Loona pointed out.
Everyone's smile disappeared including Blitzo's. He groaned a sign while rubbing his eyes. Stolas and Octavia were busy with royal demon stuff, Crystal and Serena were both at work, and Cody had a teacher workday so he couldn't go to school.
"Uh let's see," Blitzo said thinking, "Maybe we could—"
Before he could finish that sentence, a black and red portal opened up, and in walked in Alastor the Radio Demon. He was wearing his usual elegant red suit and bowtie while smiling that haunting and scary smile.
"What the? Alastor?" Blitzo called out surprised.
"Greetings and salutations. I hope this isn't a bad time," Alastor spoke in his transatlantic accent.
"What are you doing here?" Loona asked giving him a stern look.
"I'm here on behalf of Princess Charlie," Alastor before getting up close to Cody's personal space, "You, my dear boy, have been invited by Charlie! She says she has something for you regarding your performance at the upcoming Battle of the Bands."
"She does?" Cody asked.
"Quite so my lad!"
"Oh, well that solves our problem. I can hang with Charlie for the rest of the day until you guys get back."
Loona slightly shook her head while looking away, "Cody, I don't know."
"Come on Loona. It'll be fine. He'll be with Charlie at her hotel. I don't think there's anywhere safer than there," Blitzo assured.
"Yeah, plus Vaggie will be there. She and Charlie will keep her safe and Alastor will keep the hotel safe," Millie assured.
Loona sighed, "Okay fine."
Loona turned to Cody, "If anything happens, something goes wrong, you need me, call me. You understand?"
Cody nodded, "I will. I promise."
"Good."
Loona pulled him for a hug and kissed his head. Blitzo and M&M went "Aww" while Vortex smiled. Loona rolled her eyes at everyone and groaned before giving them the middle finger, but she smiled when Cody kissed her on the cheek. Loona used the Grimoire to summon portals to the destinations of all their targets while Cody took Alastor's hand and followed him into his portal leading to Charlie's hotel.
