Heaven. Hell. Earth. It doesn't matter what, it doesn't matter where, and it doesn't matter who he meets. He's lived a long life, seen many things, done many things that most would lose sleep over it. For him though… Hell is just going to be another walk in the park for him. A new place for him to work in. A new place to survive. A new Hell for him to survive in.

---

Time passes as per the usual for company of assassins. After their last job of protecting royal members of the Goetia family, things settled in nicely for them. The imps of the company were knocked out during the trip to Loo Loo Land so Ajax was the one to finish the rest of the day off for their contract. It was a simple affair, going to some shops for the daughter Octavia was happy to see with thankfully no other problems that had arisen for them. With the day ending, Ajax was paid their fee and went back to their HQ.

Apparently, the others had woken up while he was gone. First it was Millie and Moxxie who woke and while Loona was bored as usual, she informed them of Ajax's work while they were out. They were relieved and opted to simply sit and wait while their resident human came back since they had no idea exactly where he was.

Blitzø on the other hand was bit louder and angrier at being left behind. He wasn't too keen on the fact they were left at the office while their newest member went on a high profile mission with members of royalty and wanted to make sure he didn't screw things up.

Of course in the middle of his rant, Ajax proceeded to walk right in and announce the mission was complete. Then Blitzø proceeded to grill him on what happened and how much did he and they screw up. The Imp's fears were for naught though as Ajax simply reported everything after the amusement park went off without a hitch, which he then proceeded to pull out the briefcase full of their payment.

Blitzø proceeded to snag the case and speed to his office in joy. Once he was gone the human pulled out some stacks of currency from the inside of his jacket and give it to Moxxie, Millie and Loona, all divided evenly based on their roles. Ajax remembers Moxxie mentioning a few times how much their boss was little greedy so the human took the prerogative to evenly split up the money for all of them beforehand. Loona was a little angry when her share was smaller than the others but considering that the human and the imp assassins were nearly killed and set on fire, she didn't have much to argue and huffed in annoyance. Moxxie pointed out that is was more than what she would usually get when their boss got the payment, which 10 times out of 10 was nothing.

Baring that assignment, the next days pass by in relatively smooth states. Because of the assignment at Loo Loo Land, and a quite vocal Stolas mentioning it over and over again, a human that is alive and living in Hell that is not sinner demon is bound to raise some questions so Ajax took it upon himself to procure himself his own form of outfit to wear when he goes out into Hell for any reason.

He wears a black jacket with a high collar to cover his neck with a grey t-shirt under it. Black tactical gloves to cover his hands, long dark grey pants with his boots for his feet, and to finish off his look is a black M40 gas mask with a mirrored visor and one filter on the left side to completely cover his head with a dark grey digital camo military helmet. No amount of skin is left exposed for others to see the distinction of him looking like a living human so that should ensure he has limited chances of any less than stellar individuals finding out about his state of being.

Of course due to the darkness of his clothing Blitzø and Loona called him moody and goth but frankly he didn't care. Just as long as he can make sure he looks as unassuming as possible given the circumstances. He hasn't had much chance to test if whether thinks he's just wearing a human disguise or not but it's not something that was his focus.

Right now he's just trying not to blow his own brains out.

"I love this song! You were a spicy little- uh- Demon with the- uh- bleach blonde haaaair! "

The group in the entirety of Imp are all gathered in the company's van, driving back to the office but the main problem is the fact that their boss in the driver seat has become so enthusiastic he is singing the same lyrics that are coming from the radio.

Very big problem is he is singing way out of tune and is grating on practically everyones nerves in the vehicle. Loona looks mildly annoyed by her fathers atrocious singing while in the passenger seat, Moxxie is covering his ears to block out the noise from the middle seats, while Millie next to him isn't as perturbed by the noise and simply has the window down with a smile on her face as she leans out the window a little. Ajax is sitting in the back of the van with his head laying against the window with his eyes closed. He is wearing his disguise getup and thankfully the gas mask offers just a bit of muffled noise to the singing but he can still hear it plain as day. He almost tries to will himself to pass out and fall asleep so he can get some peace and quiet. 'Though combining the singing with his bosses erratic driving is jostling him around too much that he can't catch a wink of shuteye.

"Thooought it might be love, but you went— Oh, shit! Fu—"

Suddenly the van begins to swerve as Blitzø shouts in surprise. The van jostles to the side before it suddenly stops as the driver slams on the brakes.

"Arh fuck!" Ajax shouts as his head smacks window of the van. He grabs his head as he tries to pull off his gas mask after dropping his helmet when he hit the side of his face.

"Ajax, are you okay?" Moxxie looks back and asks in concern.

Ajax grunts as he pulls off his gas mask and takes a few deep breaths. "Ahhhh… yeah… I think so." He mutters in annoyance as he places his hand on the side of his head where he hit the window, making sure he's not bleeding. Besides some pain, nothing serious happened. "Thanks Moxxie."

"No problem." Moxxie smiles at the human before looking back to the front in curiosity. "What happened si- sir?" Moxxie begins to ask Blitzø but notices their boss is gone.

"Hun, look." Millie speaks out, gaining their attention. Everyone in the van looks out the windows of the van and see the scene before them. Nearby in what is supposed to be their parking spot sits a pink convertible with a few demons milling about it, including Blitzø who is speaking to a tall, admittedly beautiful hot pink skinned demon.

She has an hourglass figure and a barbed spade-shaped tail with a black tip. She has two black tipped horns with a black star on each side and her left horn is slightly taller than the other.

Her eyes are hot pink with yellow sclera with a black heart under the corner of her right eye. She has long ombre-white hair with pink undertones, from lighter to darker towards the tips, and a darker pink streak down the length and across the bangs.

Her hair matches her accessorized pink fur coat, under which she wears a tightly-fitted white and black mini dress. The dress features a prominent contrasting 'X' and 'O' pattern on the chest, as well as a star design on the abdomen.

She also wears a black choker around her neck, long black thigh-highs with black high heels that have a heart motif and three X-shaped cutouts down the sides. She has a pair of round shades with pink heart designs in the lenses.

Whatever she is, it looks like both her and Blitzø have some history. "Why are you parkin' here?! This is the ONLY parking spot my company has! So take your tampon race car somewhere else!" The Imp shouts angrily at her.

"Actually, prick. It has my name on it." She points down to her name written in purple spray paint by their feet. I.M.P is crossed out on the ground.

"What's her name?" Ajax asks since he can't tell what the written name is from the distance they are in.

"That's THE Verosika Mayday." He looks over to see a slightly hurdled up Loona in the passenger seat as she answers in a quiet disbelieving tone. This is the first time he's seen her like this and isn't sure what to make of this. However from her tone and what she means, it must be a famous demon. He looks back at the conversation as he shifts into the middle behind Millie and Moxxie, who are both huddled together at the side of the van looking at the scene.

Verosika continues speaking, "I'm doing a bit of freelance for one of the infinitely more successful companies in the building…"

"No way…" Loona breathes out in awe.

"…and they wanted to have me come in this week to lead their team during spring break."

"A WEEK?! No, no, you are NOT parking here for a fuckin' week!" Naturally, Blitzø is quite angry and pissed off as he yells.

Ajax narrows his eyes as he spots a figure step out from the car and moves to the side of the car. Ajax takes the opportunity to open the side door on the other side of the van where no one can see him. He quietly makes his way outside and silently closes the door before peeking out the side to see what's going on still.

"Awww, you mad, Blitz-o?" Verosika toys with him as she removes her sunglasses and begins speaking to him in a condescending tone. "You gonna run off, leaving someone else to pay for the hotel room, steal their car and run…"

"…run three rings to Wrath and max MY credit cards on shitty horse riding lessons?!"

Both Verosika and Blitzø shout at the same time, Verosika in anger and Blitzø in annoyance.

"Goddamn it whore, you will NOT let that go!"

Ajax puts his gas mask and helmet back on.

"Choke on a sandpaper cock." Verosika insults him, flipping him the bird and walks away. Ajax glances into the van and notices Loona fearfully lowering her head in the van.

"HOLD ON!" His focus is back on Blitzø as he follows the demon and yells. "You better move that pussy wagon right now, or I'm gonna…" Ajax is already moving as the figure makes his move.

Blitzø is interrupted as a shadow falls over him. Looking back, he sees a towering muscular Hellhound behind him as it growls.

"You'll what?" The Hellhound growls out in a menacing tone.

This freaks out Blitzø as he glances around and even stutters in fear. "Or I'll… uh… uh, I- I'll call HR!" He states a matter-of-factly.

"…"

"…"

"…"

After a second of awkward silence, all three of them laugh as if it's like some sort of a sitcom.

"Anyway, meet my new Hellhound, Vortex. Unlike you, he actually does his job well." Verosika introduces her bodyguard. The Hellhound is a very large beast, having a monotone gray color scheme similar to Loona, only darker. He is extremely muscular and has a scar on his left eye with slightly ripped ears.

He also has a black fur pattern resembling a tattoo on his left arm in the shape of a wolf's head.

He wears a ripped leather jacket with the sleeves torn off, effectively making it a vest, with glowing red spikes on what is left of the sleeves. He also wears a black undershirt as well as ripped grey pants.

"Uh huh. Ooohhh scary." Blitzø teases, further annoying the hellhound at the imps nonchalant state but the imp continues. "But of course I got my own meat shield to take the hits for me. HEY JA- Ahh!" Blitzø shouts in surprise as in the middle of him yelling, he looks back and is stunned to see Ajax is already standing there in his full getup a little behind Vortex. "How do you fucking do that?!" He asks annoyed.

This causes both Verosika and Vortex to look back and see the new figure to them. Vortex taken just slightly by surprise as he didn't even notice the person come up behind them.

"What the fuck?" Verosika asks on confusion.

Blitzø steps up to Ajax before turning his back to the human and staring at Verosika and her bodyguard. "May I introduce to you the newest member of my merry little band of misfits and degenerates…-"

"Ajax." The human states his name firmly and evenly, not taking his eyes off the hellhound.

Blitzø deflates in annoyance and glares at the veteran human with a frown and crossed arms. "Prude." Just a little irked at not having the opportunity to introduce the human how he wants.

Both the human and the Hellhound glare at one another as they basically size each other up. Despite the hound being taller, Ajax doesn't show a lick of fear and stands inches away from the hound without fear, even when the hellhound growls just a little.

"Easy there Vortex." Verosika chimes in and steps forward, getting a closer look at Ajax. Of course because of his getup, they don't really know that he's a human. She steps forward in front of Ajax and casts a curious look at him. "Well now, aren't you a curious little thing." She says with a smile.

Ajax doesn't say anything to her, just staring impassively at her. Although that's what it looks like from the outside when behind his mask he looks at her confused, considering he's just a little bit taller than her by a few inches. He's 6 ft 4 inches while Verosika looks just a couple inches over 6 feet.

"Quite the getup and quite the strapping physique you have there. What are you doing with a limp dick dumbass like Blitz-o?" She asks almost seductively as she runs a hand on his chest.

Ajax makes no move that he enjoys her words, nor her touch as he remains as still as a statue, and keeps his focus.

"HEY!" Blitzø pops up in between them, making her recoil back in disgust and annoyance. Vortex growls as he very slightly bares his fangs and his claws while Ajax reaches for his pistol and his knife. "This guys on my team bitch so lay off him whore!" He angrily shouts.

Verosika sneers at Blitzø before she scoffs and walks off with Vortex keeping close to her. She glances over her shoulder as she flips Blitzø off. "Ta-ta, fuck stain." Soon enough she disappears inside the building with her bodyguard just behind her. Just before the Hellhound goes in though, he stops for a second and glances back at the group, more specifically at Ajax. Both of them glare at one another with Vortex narrowing his eyes. Without anything else, he walks in.

With him gone, Ajax relaxes his hands but still remains vigilant.

"Ugh, I wasted so much time with a bag of holes like that." His boss decides to take the moment to voice his annoyance with his former fling.

*CRASH*

Loona also takes the opportunity to kick open the van door harshly and step out. "You know Verosika Mayday?!" She asks surprised and in disbelief.

"Huh…? Oh, yeah. Her, yeah. We dated." Blitzø nonchalantly brushes the whole thing off like its no big deal.

"Was it before or after she became a pop star?"

"You dated a pop star?!"

Unfortunately, Millie and Moxxie, and Loona before, are not as nonchalant about the whole thing. Ajax though is a little curious as to how his boss of all people dated someone… like that.

"Okay, why are you all acting like that's such a shock?" Blitzø asks.

"Hellooo, it's Verosika Mayday?" Loona points out the apparent popular and well-known pop-star.

"It's you?" Millie points out.

"Your not exactly Casanova or Prince charming." Ajax bluntly states.

"Who the fuck is that?"

"Ughhh." Ajax groans at Blitzø's reply as he slaps his hand to the front of his mask. Ajax isn't really up to date with much music culture so he doesn't know how popular the demon was. Though judging from the surprise of the others, especially Loona, its surprising having Blitzø be in that relationship.

"I just…" Moxxie mutters in complete confusion at the idea of the former couple as he scratches his head. "Is she blind? Suffering some form of brain damage?"

"Okay, look, you are all making this into a way bigger deal than it needs to be. I don't pry into your stupid personal lives."

Everyone immediately gives him deadpan eyes at the absolute lie he said.

"You do that all the time, sir!"

"Come on, you kinda do that."

"You totally do that." Moxxie, Millie and Loona bluntly tell him.

"You tried to sneak to one of my safe houses." Ajax states. As a military man, and a fair bit paranoid after leaving the service, he has more than a few homes and apartments to call his own and when he went to get some supplies from a few of them Blitzø just about almost snuck in to one of them if he didn't have alarms in place.

"What was sex with her like?"

And that completely derails his thoughts as Millie asks her boss with half-lidded eyes.

"Millie!" Moxxie calls out his wife's name, taken back by her blunt statement.

"Whaaaat?! It's a pop star! You'd wanna know what sex with Michael Crawford was like." She accuses her husband.

"…Touché." Moxxie looks like he was about to say something but relents at the truth.

Ajax chuckles to himself at the couple. Probably one of the healthiest and happiest couple he's ever seen, which is nice considering everything.

"Okay, look, let's just drop it! Millie, j- find a temporary spot for that truck." Blitzø orders and tosses the keys to Millie, who gleefully catches them and runs to driver's side of the van. "Okay, Loonie, Moxxie, Jaxie let's go handle this shit." He orders again and the rest falls in behind their leader.

---

Not long after the group of four step out of the elevator with Ajax taking off his helmet and mask, taking a deep breath as he does. Loona walks forward, nervously fidgeting as she does.

"Do you think they saw me? Fuck! I did my makeup shitty today!"

"You look fine Loona. You were hiding most of the time anyway." Ajax nonchalantly as he wipes his hair to pat it down. The hellhound glares angrily at the human.

Blitzø waves the human away. "Oh forget him sweety. You look perfect, Loonie! Like always." He compliments his daughter in almost a singsong tone.

"Shut UP, da—" Loona begins to say but catches herself at last second as she sees the look of adoration on Blitzø's face. She groans and shoves him away. "Urgh! Blitzø!"

Loona checks her face in a handheld mirror, stepping over her father before accidentally bumping into someone. "Oof!" Ajax looks up and narrows his eyes as he puts his mask back on but not his helmet. Loona looks up and finds that she bumped into Vortex. "Oh. Woah…" She murmurs in embarrassment, even blushing as she does and wags her tail a little as Vortex looks down at her.

Blitzø smiles at Loona before he gasps in shock and moves between Loona and Vortex, his arms out. "Hiiii, big man. Where's your bitch bag of an employer?" He asks, no doubt doing everything he can to make sure his daughter doesn't get close to the large hulking beast.

Vortex motions to a nearby room with neon pink hearts over double doors. "V" and "M" are spray-painted on the door windows, which just so happens to be across from IMP's door. "She's in her office. There wasn't room on the second floor, so they rented one here on this one. It's cheaper."

"Oh, COME ON!" Blitzø shouts in pissed of annoyance.

"Sorry, man." Votex scoffs a little and walks away to a sort of break room between the offices.

Moxxie and Ajax walk up to their boss while Loona hangs back, on her phone but glances up at the moving Vortex a few times. Ajax looks at her for a second before focusing back on his boss as the imp looks like he wants to do something drastic.

"Oh, no you don't, bitch."

Moxxie in front of his boss and keeps him back for a second. "Sir… how about you let me go in and try to reason with her? I don't really listen to what's classified as "pop genre" music, so her status to me is name recognition alone…" While Moxxie explains his reasons of a sort, Blitzø isn't exactly listening as he seems to tune Moxxie out with an added glare. "In my opinion, her music is a bit derivative of—"

"Moxxie, shut the fuck up!" The boss has had enough and just yells at Moxxie.

The white haired imp sighs and heads over to Verosika's office. "Alrighty, then." He replies and heads in.

"Be careful." Ajax adds just as the doors close. He hums in caution as he has a bad feeling about this whole situation. The ones outside of the office can't exactly see inside accurately as the windows has a sort of hazy tint to them, allowing Blitzø and Ajax to only see the silhouettes of Moxxie, Verosika and her gang of demons through the glass window.

"Hello, Miss Verosika, was it?" Moxxie begins making his introduction, "I work for I.M.P, and it is actually rather important for us to retain the singular parking space we were assigned, because—"

"Aw, look at the little one. He's got a wittle bow tie!" A smaller looking demon excitedly states as she points to Moxxie.

"Please don't condescend me, ma'am. I—"

"Want a kissy, little guy?" A taller figure, a male this time, jokingly asks Moxxie.

"A kind offer, but… I'm married."

And just like that, Ajax's heart sinks a little as a few other demons surround Moxxie, leering at him as the imp looks around at the group.

"Hey… why don't you send a little message from me back to your limp-dick… boss?" The unmistakable sound of Verosika's voice can be heard as all at once, all the demons silhouettes bare their fangs over Moxxie.

Then they attack.

"AAAHHHH! Don't touch that!" Moxxie screams as the shadows turn into one giant mis-matched and frantic shape.

Blitzø runs up to the window and presses his hands to it as he tries to see what's going on. "Moxxie, don't let her access any of your holes!" He frantically warns his fellow imp.

"Moxxie!" Ajax shouts as he tears off his gas mask and throws it to the ground alongside his helmet. He tries to get the doors open but finds them stuck. He's just about to kick it open when Moxxie bursts outwards and closes the doors behind him. "Moxxie! Moxxie, are you okay?" Ajax quickly kneels and checks the imp to make sure he's okay. The tinting of the windows didn't exactly allow them to see what it was they were doing to him but the noises alone and yelling is enough of an indicator. Moxxie himself is panting with his back against the door. He doesn't say anything to Ajax, instead in his battered and shaken state with red lipstick kisses all over his face, he walks past him and their boss.

"I… I gotta go lie down… now." Moxxie shakingly informs them, just before he collapses on the ground.

"Oh, this won't STAND!" Blitzø angrily states and steps forward. He's stopped though as Ajax places a hand on his shoulder.

"Let me do this."

"Hold on I—" Blitzø whirls around and goes to yell at his employee… but stops mid-sentence as he gets a good look at Ajax's face. From what he's known and seen before his human employee has always been calm, collected, but serious and ready when it comes to a job they are on. Followed orders, was ready and willing to go and ready to adapt on a moments notice. Thing was he always kept his emotions in check and kept to the professionalism of their work.

This time though… his emotions are not in check. Blitzø takes one look at his employee and sees him absolutely pissed off and angry. Jaw tight, lips pressed tightly together, eyes narrowed and a fire in his eyes that shows he's serious about this.

The imp takes a long look at the human before straightening up and stepping off to the side.

Ajax steps up to the door.

"Don't kill them." Blitzø speaks up, making him stop for a second. "We don't need the mess of killing a famous pop-star… and Loona would never forgive us and most likely murder us in our sleep." He adds with an eye roll.

With a single nod, Ajax opens the doors.

*CRASH*

Harshly.

Bringing his leg up, he kicks the doors right where they meet together with all his might. The wood in the doors snaps and splinters from the door handle latches not opening, sending the doors flinging outwards from the human and slams into the walls with great force, cracking the plaster wall on one side, and cracking the window on the other. The occupants inside the room jump in complete surprise.

Theirs several demons inside the room, seven to be exact of both men and women. Their appearances are typical what one would typically see when it comes to sucubi and incubi. Red and pinkish skin in different tones, curved horns, fangs, forked tails and clothing that is so very provocative for the majority of them and barely leaves much to the imagination.

"What the fuck did you do to Moxxie?" Ajax demands in a low angry tone as he points at Verosika.

The pop-star looks at him confused. "…Who?"

"The Imp." Ajax steps up right to her face and growls out menacingly in anger. She takes a step back before a look of recognition on her face forms.

"Ohhhh, the little guy with the bow. Oh don't worry about him. We just showed him just how… rough we succubi love to play." Verosika licks her lips with her long tongue. She then takes an appreciative look at Ajax's form and his rugged look. "Speaking of rough, what's a guy like you doing in a place like this handsome?" She sultrily asks as she runs a finger on his chin and on his chest.

"Don't change the subject." Ajax asks her dead serious.

This only makes Verosika scoff in a light laugh as she is unaffected by the tone. "Oh come now. That's no way to have fun now is it?" She asks before she looks down at his chest gear and a look of realization hits her for a second. "Oh that's it! You were tall dark and scary outside! What's a guy like you working for brain-dead Blitz-O?" She teases before her fingers slowly travel down south. The closer she gets to the tender areas though, she doesn't notice the slowly tightening of his fists. "Wouldn't it be much better and much more fun to be working for someone else? Someone like me." Her fingers are at the belt. "I can promise a much better time than—"

*SLAM*

"Ahhh!" Verosika shouts as the second her finger is about to touch the humans crotch, he makes his move in a rather violent way.

Ajax uses his left hand and grabs her right hand that was on him, grabbing it tightly and forcing it up to the left side of her body, forcing her arm up against her neck, including his own elbow, and grabbing her other wrist with his free hand and forcing her against the wall. Normally Verosika is used to some rough play here and there in some of her bedroom escapades but this time doesn't feel like it for the pop-star.

"Wha—" Someone else in the room shouts in surprise as the human almost lifts the succubus off the ground.

"Now you listen to me you fucking bitch," Ajax outright growls as he leans in real close to Verosika's strained face. "I don't care about your past with my boss, but—"

"Hey! Get off her you—"

*Smack*

"Cruuuugh!"

"Josh!"

One of the sucubi, or incubi more specifically, runs to Ajax and prepares to throw Ajax off but before he can grab him, and without Ajax even glancing at the incubi, he brings his right hand up, grabbing both of Verosika's wrists with his left, he hits the incubi Josh's throat with the open palm of his hand between his thumb and index finger. The demon immediately recoils as he chokes and steps back, immediately grabbed by the others of Verosika's posse he tries to regain his breathing.

"—But… don't you ever dare—!"

*Cha-chick*

*Shing*

In under a second, faster than the demons in the room could register, Ajax reaches down and grabs his pistol before pulling it up and aiming right behind him, staring at Vortex the bodyguard glaring at him.

Vortex for his part immediately sprinted to the office as he heard the shouting, where both he and Ajax are at a standoff with each other. Ajax holds up Verosika still while his other hand has his pistol aimed right at one of Vortex's eyes. The Hellhound has his teeth bared, growling as he does, eyes a fiery angry red, and his claws wrapped around the humans throat.

Neither one of them are the least bit intimidated by the deadly standoff the both of them are in.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"… Let… her…go." Vortex demands through his animalistic growls.

*Click*

The sucubi and incubi in the room flinch in fear as Ajax simply pulls the hammer back on his pistol, still keeping to his threat.

"Alrightalrightalrightalright! Cool your jets people!" Blitzø walks into the room, waving his arms around to try to give some measure of calmness for everyone and the tense atmosphere they are in. He walks up to his employee and grabs onto his outstretched gun arm, the gun barely moving from its target as Blitzø slightly peers his face into Ajax's view with a smile. "Hey soldier. Listen, love the gumption. Really great work and if I ever need to have someone scared the absolute piss, cum, shit and their souls out of them, I'll give you a call… but I'm gonna have to ask you to let the bitch go. Don't worry! I have a plan in mind that should satisfy everyone here and make things interesting."

"…" Ajax doesn't' say anything at first, simply glancing at his boss for a tense second before he lets go of Verosika. The pop-star grunts as she hits the floor on her knees, grabbing and rubbing her wrists as she does and glares at the back of Ajax but more so at Blitzø considering he was the one that effectively saved her.

Vortex calms down some and after glaring some more directly into Ajax's eyes, he roughly lets go of the humans neck. As soon as he does Ajax puts the hammer in his pistol back how it was and holsters his gun.

"Oof!" As well as dropping his boss on the ground. "Mmh…! Alright then." The imp gets up and wipes his clothes down before stepping up to Verosika. "Okay here's the cinch whore," Verosika glares hatefully at that, "As much of a fun show it would be to see these two paint your office red with blood and entrails," He thumbs to Vortex and Ajax, who the former stands next to Verosika and helps her while Ajax stands behind his boss, "How about we do something that's a bit more fun and a bit more satisfying for all parties involved." He proposes with a toothy smile.

Verosika gets up to her feet and composes herself a little and stares at the imp with crossed arms. "Really now? And what do you have in mind in that teeny-tiny shriveled brain of yours?" Now that her bodyguard is there the insults are freely flying between the two of them as she speaks with a confident smile.

Blitzø growls a little in annoyance before angrily stating to Verosika. "I don't like you being shitty to my employees and sexually harassing them, I'm the one that does that." He adds the last part under his breath before he focuses back on his ex. "So I challenge you to a fuckin' challenge!" He shouts loudly in confident determination. He deflates a little when he realizes what he said. "Fucking hell, I said that twice." He mutters quietly to himself.

"Oh… Is the Imp boy starting a demon duel?" A darker colored and the shortest succubi of the group asks.

"I think he is!" Verosika answers with a hint of surprise in her voice. She smirks and looks at Blitzø.

"What's the game then, Blitz-o?" She eggs him on as he asks.

The imp grunts but keeps to what he was going to say. "Every year, you STD spreaders go up topside for easy pickin's while spring break is a prime time for crime of all kinds! So I bet… you succu-bitches can't fuck as many people as we can off by the end of the day." He challenges them as he continues to glare in determination.

The sucubi almost laugh at the notion but a quick glance to Ajax quiets them down as they look at the imp in disbelief.

"Wait, you're serious?" Verosika asks before she smirks and leans in close to Blitzø's face, speaking in a low whisper, "Game on… bitch."

"Great!" Blitzø happily announces and turns around. "Get ready to lose sluts! Lets bounce." Blitzø says as he flips them the bird twice before he snaps his fingers to get Ajax's attention. The human keeps step with his boss as they make for the doors with Moxxie peering in carefully.

"Better keep your pet on tighter leash this time!" Verosika calls out one last time in a jest.

"Funny! Seems more appropriate for your guy than mine!" Blitzø calls back from the hallway, the silhouettes of their forms disappearing past a wall.

Well, almost all of them.

The unmistakable form of Ajax stops just before the wall and turns towards the window. Verosika frowns as Vortex narrows his eyes. They can't actually see the human past the outline of his form but just the fact he's staring at the window makes the pop-star uneasy a little.

It's not long that the human stays before he continues walking with the others.

Verosika sighs in frustration and runs her hand through her hair. "Fucking damnit." She growls.

---

Not even 10 minutes later the entirety of the employees of IMP are all seated in their conference room with their boss, Blitzø, standing in front of a whiteboard with an easel and some crude drawings.

"Alright, shut your assholes!" The boss loudly orders but everyone is quiet and listening. "Here's how we're gonna do this shit! First, we find a fuck ton of clients." As their boss begins to explain things, he shows how things are going to go via several dozen drawings and flipping through them like an animated show.

The stick figures of everyone in IMP can be seem together with clients of all kinds surrounding them and showering them with bags of money.

"We portal up,"

They IMP figures go through the portal.

"We have our fun murder time as per usual,"

The IMP drawings kill off human drawings with guns, except Ajax who proceeds to punch some of them and even strangle some.

"We pile all the bodies into a big fuckin' canoe,"

'Canoe?' Ajax thinks confused in his head as to why a canoe specifically. The show continues with the human bodies tossed into a canoe that reads S.S. Cum Gutter.

"We push said canoe into some water,"

Blitzø drawing kicks the canoe full of bodies away from the dock they are on.

"We light it on fire to attract the sharks and eagles 'n shit. Maybe a goose, too! Fuck it!"

Animated drawings of sharks, snakes, eagles and creatures, Ajax did see a goose. Go figure. They eat the bodies set on fire in the canoe. A large octopus then comes and chomps the entire ship and the animals.

"They come and eat the bodies, we win the bet…"

The IMP drawings cheer and the Loona and Ajax figures wear party hats.

"We rub it in that sloppy bitch's drunken whore-ass face…"

The IMP members give a Verosika drawing several middle fingers. The Verosika drawing bursts into tears as the last of the drawings run out. "Do you have… any questions?"

*CRASH*

Blitzø proceeds to throw his pointer stick through and break a window.

No one says anything at first until Moxxie speaks. "Uh, yeah. Why was that nonsense?"

"That wasn't a question." Blitzø states as he walks up to his fellow imp.

"That wasn't a plan." Moxxie retorts.

Blitzø puts a hand around Moxxie. "I'm sorry, but that was a flawless presentation of what we should do, Mox. It's not my fault you got a smooth little brain upstairs."

Ajax sighs as he already knows what this means for the bickering duo.

"A what now?" Moxxie asks confused.

"I'm callin' ya slow, Moxxie. God, why don't you learn to take criticism, you talentless baby dicked troll?!" Blitzø accuses his employee as he pokes his chest.

"Well, why don't you…" Moxxie climbs the table in anger and he points at Blitzø, "Take an art class?" He suggest, although Ajax finds the retort a little odd. Most likely from Moxxie unable to figure out a proper comeback.

Blitzø grabs Moxxie and throws him back in his chair. "Why don't you see how EXPENSIVE they are?!" He yells.

Ajax sighs at the yet again off-topic state they are in. It seems like every time they hold a meeting or conversation something derails the subject to something else.

"Hey, is there a way I can come with you guys this time?" Loona decides to say her own piece this time. Which in actuality gets most of their attention, including Ajax, as this would be the first time Loona actually goes out on one of their jobs.

Blitzø is not in the least willing to go along with it as he denies her. "Absolutely not, I forbid it. Not gonna happen. Sorry, sweetie. Spring break is no place for young, vulnerable goth girls. You know the kind of FREAKS up there who'd drool all over you!"

Almost all of the occupants in the room stare in one direction disapprovingly.

"… What? What did I do?" Ajax asks in confusion as for some reason he finds himself at the receiving end of all their glares.

"Don't worry about it, Jackie boy. You wouldn't get it." Blitzø answers with a smile as this brings everyone back to the matter at hand.

Although Ajax takes a moment to think on what that was and why. He just left incredibly confused before he sighs and goes back to listening in.

"Well, I- I can blend in with humans easy enough. Just let me tag along." Loona says.

"Blend in? How?" Ajax asks in confusion. He doesn't know how they can get her to blend in. It's one thing for the imps to go up to earth as people could just confuse them as costumed, make-up wearng freaks, wouldn't be the first weird thing that people would wear in the mortal realm. Loona on the other hand is a tall almost 6 ft furry Hellhound with digitate legs. He knows theirs people and furries that would wear fursuits but Loona would be way too… real to blend in so casually.

"Wait, say that again." Blitzø says.

"I can… blend in…?" Loona says in more of a question like its an obvious thing.

"Do you have a human disguise?" Millie asks her.

"Yeah. Don't you?"

"…"

"…"

"…"

From the silence Ajax looks around and finds all three imps looking at each other nervously as they sweep their eyes side to side.

"Wait, that's an actual thing? I thought everyone was screwing with me." Ajax comments incredulously. He remembers mention before of some demons calling him weird for his getup but he thought it was because of the suit, glasses and such, not the fact that he looks like a human. He didn't think it was in fact true a demon can disguise themselves as a legit human. Mostly because he's never seen firsthand a demon disguising themselves.

Of course the news of the imps not having human disguises does not sit well with Loona.

"You three have been screwing around on Earth this whole fucking time… without human disguises?!" She asks incredulously and pissed off, right before she turns to glare at Ajax. "And you let them?!"

"Hey! This is new information to me alright!" He shouts back at her, taken aback by the accusation when this is new to him.

"Okay, new plan!" Before Loona can get angrier at the old man, Blitzø decides to propose a new idea. He quickly scribbles on a piece of paper and hangs it on the easel. Ajax groans as it shows Loona surrounded by humans with hearts around them. "Loonie can help lure the humans to us, Jackie boy can stick close and make sure things go off without a hitch like a creepy stalker," Said human glares at his boss, who promptly ignores him. "And we'll take care of the rest. Okay, how about that?"

"Flawless logic." Millie, the joyful and lovable imp that she always is, states.

"I think you're missing the biggest issue, sir." Moxxie begisn to point out some critical information. "Isn't it crucial to have a client who demands enough kills to win this bet? We aren't just going up to massacre!"

"I got that covered, Mox."

Later…

Barely five minutes later, Blitzø, Moxxie and Ajax, in his disguise, are outside with the boss of the group putting up a ratty flyer on a pole. It reads 'Spring Break Victim, 50% Off!' with drawings of Blitzø, a dead victim and horses. Blitzø walks up to them with a smug smile. "Now… we wait."

"Sir… there is no way we are going to get enough clients by the end of the day with one poorly spelled, bad grammar flyer!" Moxxie states exasperated and tired, not even believing this would work.

And neither does Ajax. "Okay, boss, I gotta agree with Moxxie here." He states and looks closely at the flyer before turning back to the imps. "Theirs no way we're going to get enough clients. We didn't even put up other flyers. It's just the one flyer. And you hand drew it! No ones going to take the one flyer seriously on a random pole and—" He begins to rant with his arms up until he sees the even smugger smile on Blitzø's face and the surprised look on Moxxies face. They don't see it but he deadpans his eyes and lets his arms fall to his sides. "There's a line behind me isn't there?"

"Yep." Moxxie deadpan answers in return.

Ajax sighs and turns around. Over a dozen demons of different sizes and types can be seen lining up in front of the flyer, all of them giddy and looking excited at the deal.

Blitzø keeps his smug grin and elbows Moxxie and pats Ajax's back. He strolls toward the other demons. "Now, who's first?"

---

Suffice to say the employees of IMP got plenty of work for the day with their impromptu ad. The location of the bet is setup in spring break on one of the human beaches somewhere in Florida. As soon as Ajax stepped out of the portal the whole placed screamed debauchery and can already tell how things are going go to go for the beach goers, even without the intervention of the denizens of hell. So far the festivities are barely starting so most people are just walking around, relaxing and chatting but will change no doubt later when the night starts to roll in and the parties start forming.

The assassin crew is currently hiding under one of the pier docks behind some large coral-covered rocks and look at all the potential targets.

Ajax has decided to go for a simpler ensemble instead of his tactical gear. Something that somewhat matches the spring break vibe. He is wearing a simple grey t-shirt, some khaki tan pants, tennis shoes, and sunglasses. He places down a large black rectangular case against a rock out of sight and crouches next to Loona, Blitzø, Moxxie and Millie as they peer over.

"Must feel something being here on spring break huh, Jackie boy?" Blitzo states with a smile as he places his arm on the humans shoulder. Said human hums in annoyance at the name. "Bet you had some wild times around here huh?"

"I didn't." The deadpan and low tone from the huma catches their attention. Ajax keeps his look focused and forward as he scans for targets. "In my teenage years I was already in the military, so I never got the 'full spring break experience' or whatever." He sighs as his eyes slowly scan the area. "Honestly I don't see the appeal in it. Just people being drunk and stupid."

"… Fucking hell your such a stick in the mud." Blitzø states without any means of sugarcoating it. The imp has always been fond of things being playful and nice every now and again, keeps things interesting and keeps life interesting all the while, the overall seriousness of the veteran soldier is really cramping the imps style as he pushes himself off the human and clears his throat. "Alright then, here's how it is: Remember, we can't be seen, alright? And loose shots will likely cause a panic, so Loona can help with leading targets to a better spot to off 'em. You got the list, Loonie?" He asks his daughter.

Loona skims a long list in her hands and gives it a sniff. "Got it."

She closes her eyes and a flash of light blinds Ajax for a second. He grunts as he closes his eyes and brings his hand up to block the light. It only lasts for a few seconds before it dies down and he can look again.

Suffice it to say both he and the imps stare in shock at what happened. Loona has undergone her transformation to her human disguise. Her outfit has largely stayed the same except for a few changes here and there. For instance she has peach bright skin, her hair is done up and flowed to the side. She is also wearing shoes that match the similar color that her feet paws had in her Hellhound form. Not much else is different besides all that.

And yet as Ajax looks at her, he has the feeling this does not fit her look at all by normal means.

"Ohhhhh, Loonie, look at you. You look… downright awful!" Blitzø states.

"Hey!" Ajax pipes up annoyed. "I take offense to…" He begins to say until he looks around at some of the other beachgoers, seeing many of the larger portly people just being downright disgusting with food and some of the more scrawny types of people going crazy because of the fact it's Spring Break. Pretty sure he sees some guy tweaking out on whatever drugs he could get his hands on. Ajax sighs, "Nevermind." He resigns himself to the fact he's not that fond of his own people.

Now as Loona glares at Blitzo, she doesn't look awful as the imp bluntly put it, but the look she has doesn't completely fit her considering Ajax has already seen her true form.

"I am so proud. Now, fetch!" Their boss orders.

Loona sighs and walks out before she begins peering around for a target.

"Alright then." Blitzø begins to say, "While she's grabbing our target, lets get setup. M&M lets get to the alleyway." He points to a non-descript alley nearby between two buildings. "Jaxie, be non-chalant and make sure no one sees us. Okay break!" Without wasting any time or even waiting to see if anyone has anything else to add, the head boss imp beelines it for the ambush point. Millie and Moxxie follow after with a leisurely pace.

Ajax sighs and grabs his case. "Alright, we'll get setup. If you need anything do not hesitate to call—"

"Yeah whatever. Just get out of here already." Loona doesn't wanna have any of it as she brushes past Ajax, not bothering to look at him and even being short and gruff with him. She glares around the beach goers as Ajax stares at her for a few seconds. With a small grunt he makes his way to the alleyway entrance.

Barely a couple minutes later, as Ajax is leaning against the wall of the building next to the alleyway with his case behind his feet, he spots Loona walking up with an all-too eager beachgoer following behind her. She doesn't glance at Ajax, nor does the soon-to-be dead man, but he keeps his eyes narrowed and focused on the target. When they pass into the alleyway, Ajax does a quick look around to make sure no one else is nearby. Thankfully the boardwalk is largely empty in their area, so he steps closer to the entrance and peers down the alley.

Loona is leaning against the wall as the man stands in front of her. The lecherous poor sap makes grabby hand motions to grab her in lust. Ajax reaches into his jacket to prevent the jackass from molesting her—

*BANG*

But he flinches instead as a gunshot goes off and pops the man in the head. Loona looks none too bothered by it as she looks up. Ajax follows her line of vision to see Blitzø up on the roof, looking down and giving her a thumbs up.

Ajax looks at them in disbelief at the complete lack of tact or silence they did. He looks around real quick but thankfully either people were too distracted to notice, or just didn't care. He sighs and runs a hand through his hair before nodding. "Okay then." He picks up his case and walks into the alleyway.

---

The next target is walking up to Loona as she leans next to the wall of an alleyway. A slightly rotund man with glasses walks close to Loona as she waves to him, catching his attention. She smiles as she thumbs in the direction of the alleyway.

"You. Me. That dark and isolated alley. Now!" She about demands of him as she has one hand on her hip and smiling to him.

The man looks like he just hit the jackpot and takes a step towards her with a large smile on his face… but he stops.

His smile turns to a frown as he examines Loona more closely. Loona herself is looking confused and oddly at the man as he hesitates to take the bait.

Before she can try to goad him some more into the alley, he steps back and begins speedwalking away from her, leaving her dumfounded and very confused now.

"Guaah!"

Before he can get too far though, as soon as he passes another alley, a hand shoots out and grabs the man, eliciting a small cry from him before his struggles are muffled, and soon after silenced as a crack can be heard, followed by the sound of the dumpster closing.

Ajax walks out from the alley as he rubs his hands over each other and goes towards Loona. She sighs and shakes her head at the failure of her unable to get him to come with her. "Okay, what the fuck was that? He just turned around and started running away. He should have been happy someone took an interest in him." She growls frustratingly as Ajax stops in front of her and stares. She then sighs and turns around to her alley. "I don't know. Maybe he was gay or something." By this point she's not really speaking to Ajax but more so herself.

Ajax though, is staring behind her. Not at her per say, but more specifically her shadow. While the disguise was able to change the look of her Hellhound form to a human form, her shadow though still has the unmistakable characteristics of her tail, ears, and just overall her true self.

"Hmmm." Ajax hums before following after her.

What follows next is the assassination crew doing good work at their job.

A blonde man runs to Loona with a hungry lustful look on his face but before he can grab her a noose is dropped on the mans neck and is promptly strangled by Blitzø.

Next a rooftop meeting is done with Loona and a brown haired man, who leans in to kiss her but Millie comes out of left field and kicks him off the roof into a dumpster below. As he slams into the bottom, Ajax looks in and examines the body for a second and surmises the man is dead, considering the horrific angle that his neck is in. He gives a nod and Moxxie slams the dumpster shut.

Loona walks with a fat man down the sidewalk and a flower pot crashes into his head. Ajax comes out of an alley and promptly drags the man in, cursing as he does from the weight alone.

Blitzo kills a woman with a knife, Millie kills a white haired woman with a spiked baseball bat, another woman gets shot in the head.

A suave black haired man leans in real close to Loona, hand on the wall next to her head and leans in with his eyes closed. Loona looks on disgusted as she slightly leans away, her claws threatening to break free from her disguise and break it all together to rip the human apart.

The target doesn't get any though as a garrote wire fashioned from some of the dead women's hair they killed immediately chokes the man out. Human hair is surprisingly some of the toughest material out there when it gets pulled on and some assassins will even use human hair to choke out and kill their targets. The target doesn't even have a chance to scream, choking as he does, as Ajax completely chokes the man out with ease. The target struggles a little and even tries to grab onto the veteran but quickly loses his strength as the target passes away dead. Ajax, with an impassive look, keeps choking the body until he's very sure the man is dead.

*Thud*

Then lets it drop to the ground without a care. After a quick dump of the body in a dumpster with his impromptu weapon, he turns to Loona.

"Alright Loona wheres the next tar—?" He begins to ask her. She however is focused on her phone and doesn't look at him. "Loona." She doesn't acknowledge him but she does look annoyed. A trait that Ajax notices as she seems to focus on her phone a bit more.

Not wanting to delay things anymore he walks up to Loona and snatches her phone out of her hands.

"HEY!" She looks on surprised before she shouts in clear and indignant anger as she glares at the veteran.

"Focus." Ajax replies seriously and tosses her phone back. "Now where's the next target?"

"Don't you EVER fucking touch my phone got it?!" She threatens him as she gets right in his face and points at him.

"Then quit being distracted and focus on the job you insisted on being a part of." Ajax points out to her, much to his own annoyance of the girl and her attitude of him.

"Oh my fucking god will you lighten up already!" She shouts at him and looks on like she's tired of the serious attitude that the veteran is displaying, and has been as of late, towards her. "This isn't the fucking military dude. We've done this dozens of times already. It's no different then the other fuck dozen people we've killed."

"We?" Ajax questions her choice of words. "THIS is your first outing. The rest of us have been doing this beforehand and right now your fucking things up by not providing the information!" He shouts at her.

"Me fuck up?!" She shouts offendedly before glaring back at him. "You already fucked things up with Verosika and her bodyguard earlier! Maybe I would have liked to be noticed by them but then you had to fucking threaten them like the psycho you are! What kind of jackass willingly stays in HELL of all places?!" She yells and is pretty much insulting him.

Ajax grits his teeth and clenches his fists but relaxes them soon after as he tries to calm down. "Verosika and her crew assaulted Mox—"

"He didn't ask for you to step in! You just decided to go ahead and start threatening them! Why the hell are you such a freak when it comes to protecting us?! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW US!"

"…" Ajax stares at her, not making any movement but for sure he does not like the tone Loona has been taking with him. He doesn't respond to her, instead he simply grabs his case and walks past her. She continues to glare at him as he walks out of the alleyway.

Loona sighs once he's gone and runs a hand through her hair before she calms her breathing and looks back down the alleyway. She looks around to see the others of IMP but find nothing. She remembers Blitzø and the others went in order to go find some supplies to clean up and dispose of their kills. As Loona scrolls through her phone, she finds herself utterly baffled by the human in their company. Loona has predominantly stayed in Hell her whole life but has more often than not seen or even met some humans before they became sinners, like that one snot-nosed brat they had to kill some time ago. Yet something she's always known is that sinners would complain at some point or another about being in Hell and want to go back to earth and live again.

Yet for some reason the one human Blitzø and the others brought back has decided to make the office his new home stay, even sleeping in the office on more than one occasion and being ready to work and kill whoever they get as a target, without batting an eye and just not really caring.

She groans in frustration at the complications the new human has brought for them. Then again she still remembers when he brought Blitzø and the couple in when they were all knocked out.

She relaxes a little on the fact that a few times already he's saved some of their lives without hesitation.

"Fucking damnit." She grunts and leans on the wall as she begins to think on just what to make of the human employee.

Her thoughts don't stay focused for long as she's grabbed from behind.

"The fu—" Loone shouts and just as she's about to turn around she's slammed up against the wall, knocking the air out of her before someone begins choking her. The person choking her is a man and he wears a neatly pressed red shirt with some black slacks and white and black tennis shoes. His hair is black, thick and combed back with some gel in it.

He smiles creepily at her before he slams her against the wall again, hitting her head, before tossing her to the ground.

Loona coughs as she's free before she looks up at the man as he pulls out a small switchblade from behind him. She glares hatefully and angrily at the man as he licks his lips at her, no doubt fantasizing whatever fucked up things he wants to do to her.

Thing is though she's not some helpless unarmed human as her pissed off state soars to new heights, getting ready to take out every bit of frustration and anger on the man that caught her by surprise when she was thinking. As he gets closer, she pops her wrists and her eyes glow red, reverting to her Hellhound eyes.

He hesitates for a second.

She goes to pounce on him.

"Grrkkk!"

*Clink*

Loona's moment and ready to tear apart the potential rapist is stopped short as the man is suddenly stopped in front of her, even being almost held up in the air in front of her. The suspected rapist in his surprise drops his knife and goes to grab the hands that are gripping his neck.

An expression mixed of pain, surprise and absolute breathlessness as he struggles to breathe.

Amidst the mans guttural gagging noises, Loona blinks her eyes a few times, turning her eyes back to her human disguised set before she looks behind the man. She is mildly surprised that it happens to be Ajax that's strangling the man, although much to her additional surprise he is far angrier than she's ever seen him.

His teeth are gritting tightly, lips pulled back almost snarling, eyes wide that display the sheer anger in his eyes, and his breath is coming in hard and tensely. His hands are gripping the mans neck so tightly she can see the skin around his fingers bulging around them. He is also displaying his strength as well due to the fact he is in fact holding the man up off the ground by his neck.

"Did you think it was that easy?" Loona is snapped out of the veterans visage by the tone in his voice that is utterly laced with venom. "Did you think you were going to get another one? Huh?!"

"Graaak! GRuuuh! Gaaak!" No comprehensive words can be heard from the chocking man, his eyes starting to blood shot and bulge out, actually threatening to pop out of his eye sockets.

"I know you. I fucking know you! You're a target. One of our targets." Ajax begins with his voice raised before he takes on a much quieter and darker tone. "You're a fucking serial killer. You travel and kill during Spring Break. Easy time to do it. Long 'bouts of time but easy enough to wait. Drunk, knocked out girls. Even taking them by surprise. That's it huh? That's how you do it? Little to no resistance huh? That's how you fucking do it you fucking coward!" He almost hisses at the man. The target has now started to lose his strength as his kicking and hand movements are much slower now, with droopier eyes. This time Ajax brings his arms down, still holding the target, forcing his knees to bend and this time begins to curl his fingers inwards. The new movements makes the targets eyes widen as he continues to struggle in his efforts. He can't move his legs out from under him.

Loona looks on with eyes wide open and mouth slightly parted open, never seeing anything done like she is now. She quickly gets to her feet as she watches the scene before her.

"You won't touch her. You fucking hear me? You won't fucking touch a single hair on her any fucking more!" This dialogue gets Loona's attention as Ajax is talking about her.

What happens next though makes her step back a little.

Ajax with his fingers curled inwards on the front of the mans neck, he plants his foot on the small of the mans upper back. "I hope you go to hell… so I can find you again and kill you all over again." The sheer amount of anger laced into his voice can both be heard and felt as proceeds with what he's going to do.

He pulls and he pushes.

His fingers begin to dig into the mans flesh as he presses as hard as he can on the mans back with his foot.

The mans eyes bulge out immensely, blood shot as guttural strangle groans can be heard from the mans throat. His fingers desperately try to pull Ajax's fingers off him, even going as far scraping the skin on his neck around Ajax's fingers.

It does nothing however as more blood begins to pour from Ajax's fingers as he applies more pressure. He grits his teeth, clenches his eyes shut… and pulls with all his might.

"Graahh!"

*SHRIK*

With one final pull, Ajax kicks the body to the ground and forces himself to take a couple steps back.

It's done.

The body lays on the ground with a red pool of blood gradually beginning to grow around him. The only sounds that can be heard are the distant sounds of the other spring break partygoers, and the ragged deep breaths being taken by the bloody mercenary.

Loona looks up, a visage of awe on her face as she sees the state that Ajax is in. His hands are almost completely bloody and stained red but the rest of his clothing is relatively clear. His breathing is hard with deep lung fulls coming in and out gradually. The human for his part is staring downwards at the body. An impassive look is on his face as almost shows no emotion to the brutal kill he just did. Eventually his breathing comes under control and he lets out one last deep breath of air. He opens his hands and small chunks of flesh, more specifically the arteries in the mans neck, splatter onto the ground. He reaches down and proceeds to wipe his hands clean on the mans shirt and pants. Once he's done he wrings his hands a little and pops his fingers. He looks up at Loona to see her staring at him. She takes a step back as the blood almost reaches her shoe.

She looks back up at him.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"… I don't like rapists." He sighs and pops his neck before setting himself straight. He turns around and makes his way out of the alley, grabbing his black case as he does.

Loona stands there as he makes his way out of the area, disappearing around the corner and continues on his way to find some more targets. Loona blinks her eyes a couple times and looks down at the body in front of her, unsure of how to react to what she heard and what she saw from him.

"Hey Loonie! We're back!" She flinches and freezes in place as the annoying sound of her adoptive fathers voice can be heard loudly and closely. The Imp comes around the corner with a roll of trash bags in his hand, along with Moxxie carrying more and Millie carrying a couple of axes. "Alright we got what we need to dispose of these shit-stains so now we just—" Blitzø stops in his tracks as he looks down at the freshly killed body. "Whoa. Now that's brutal right there. Way to put in the initiative sweetie." He hugs her, snapping her out of her earlier funk and she's about to backhand him off her but he already lets go of her. "Alrighty then! Let's start stuffing these chumps and get back to it shall we?"

"Yes sir." Moxxie unenthusiastically says as he grabs the body by the foot and drags it to the side while Millie follows him with a wide grin on her face.

Loona shakes her head and lets out frustrated sigh and looks out the alleyway as the others get to work behind her. She scans the area a little until she looks for something to get her mind off things. She perks up though as she looks at the concert stage on the beach being setup.

---

Further away minutes later, in a nearby hotel building, a couple can be seen in a room on the third floor getting to it under the sheets as they thrash about under the covers. They are so focused in their sex debacle they don't notice the other presence in the room.

*Thunk*Thunk*Thunk*

Knocking on the wall can be heard.

"Who the fucking hell is—"

*Thwip*Thwip*

"Aaa—!"

*Thwip*Thwip*

As soon as the man angrily threw the covers off, revealing his face and angrily begins to yell, a bullet to the chest and one to the head greet him. The lady he was having fun with barely gets the first set of yelling out before she too gets executed.

The shooter, Ajax lowers his gun and begins making his way out of the room, quickly looking down the hall both sides before walking out and closing the door, putting the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the handle and going. He quickly reloads his silenced 1911 pistol and holds it close to his chest as he looks at the list in his other hand. 'Loona may have been able to sniff out any of our targets, but I can at least be creative in finding some of our targets.' After walking into the hotel, a simple matter of sneaking to one of the staff members computer and pulling up the list of people in the building and finding several names that have checked in. "Alright, I got them…" He crosses out the names of the couple he just killed, a duo that pissed someone off in hell, and now makes his way to the elevator to get to the fourth floor. "Now I just need one more here and—"

"Wooooooo!"

"Yeeeaaaaahh!"

"Fuck yeah! Let's get shitfaced!"

"Hurry! We're missing Verosika's concert!"

"Not going that way." Ajax comments as he turns around when a party of people clamber into the elevator being loud, obnoxious and overall a mess. He makes for the stairs and starts heading up to the next floor. Once he makes it he's annoyed at going up a flight of stairs but is happy he's not getting shoved around by a bunch of rowdy spring breakers. "Alright, and he is over… here." A short walk down the hall and he finds the room number of what he's looking for. He pulls out his pistol and gets ready as he tries to open the door.

It's locked.

"Of course it is. No chance of it being unlocked like the last one." He grumbles and weighs his options a little. After a second or two he looks down at his getup. "House keeping is out of the question. Aah fuck it." He doesn't bother making things too complicated and leans his back to the wall next to the door handle.

*CRASH*

With a fierce mule kick, he kicks backwards into the door and breaks it open.

"What the fucking hell is—?!" A voice inside can be heard as soon as he kicks the door open. Ajax immediately moves in with his gun up and drawn. The man he's looking for is brown haired, wearing glasses and has swim trunks on but bolts to the balcony door as soon as he spots Ajax and his gun.

*Thwip*Thwip*Thwip*

He doesn't get far as Ajax puts several rounds into the mans back and head, making him slump to the floor and fall dead on the balcony. With one more confirmed kill shot to the head, he walks out to see no one else on the other balconys saw him. A quick glance over the ledge shows the pool down below. "Hm, I'll give you credit for the bold move… but you might have died anyway on the fall down." He shakes his head and holsters his pistol before staring out into the horizon, watching the entirety of the city be alive with everyone partying and enjoying themselves with the sun starting to turn to its orange haze.

Ajax takes in a deep breath and looks about. 'Hmmm, we still have a few targets to take out. I've got some, the others got a bunch as well. Provided they are still working on other targets while I was taking these ones out, we might be able to do this.' His thoughts are cut off a little when he hears the thumping and booming sounds of music going off. A concert stage was setup on the beach while Ajax was making his way to the hotel and from what the group of people earlier mentioned in the elevator, its Verosika already loosening up everyone in having all kinds of sexual fun. 'We have to be subtle, she doesn't have to. We need to coordinate and get to work or—' Ajax focuses on something before his eyes widen. "Motherfu—!" He shouts and sprints out the room, grabbing his case as he goes and shuts the door.

---

Back on the beach, things are not going as well for some folks.

"Blitzø, get the fuck out of here! You're gonna get us all into shit!" Namely Loona, Vortex and Blitzø.

Loona was looking to try to talk up the currently disguised Hellhound Vortex, who is a black man with a very short haircut and some scars mirroring the ones he has in his Hellhound form, and maybe get to know him better, albeit quite awkwardly as she tried. Her adopted father though was not too happy seeing her mingle with the enemy basically and in true father-like fashion decided to interrupt them, much to the irate ire of Loona as she glares at her father.

"I just wanted to see what was so important that you'd be distracted from your job." Blitzø calls her out on her lack of doing her job.

"Oh for fucks sake not you too." She groans as she remembers the conversation from earlier. "I already got that speech before from our psycho human war nut I don't need it from you either! I seriously can't have a break?" She asks incredulously.

"We have a parking spot on the line!"

"Hey, dude. Why don't you chill out?" Vortex tries to diffuse the angry state they are in but more specifically trying to make sure the imp doesn't attract too much attention to himself.

Blitzø isn't having it. "Why don't you stay out of it?! Okay, this is our business!" He proceeds to hold up a drawing with his tail that shows a diagram of himself killing a human equaling money and earning money equals a horse. "Literally!"

Loona groans in frustration at the actions of her father and fixes her bangs. "Fuck, Blitzø! Why can't you stay out of my face for, like, five minutes?!" She angrily demands of him.

"Because, I adopted you! And that should mean something!"

"Oh, what does it matter?! You're not my real dad! I was almost eighteen!" She reminds of when he picked her up at the pound basically.

"It still counts!"

"Well, it shouldn't! I didn't need you then, asshole! I don't, now!" She all but yells right at his face.

"…" Blitzø doesn't really have a comeback for what she said, instead he feels tired and frustrated but doesn't really want to continue this brick wall he's going up against. He sighs frustrated and turns around with his arms crossed, not saying a word to her.

Loona's anger dissipates at the action, or lack thereof, by Blitzø and feels as if she went a little too far on what she said. "Uh… Blitzo… I'm—"

"Enjoy your break, Loonie. I'm gonna go kill something!" Not wanting to be berated anymore for caring, the imp walks off looking for some poor schmuck to off.

"Ugggh…" Loona groans at her fuckup.

"Damn, girl. That was savage. You okay?" Vortext chimes in and asks, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

She blushes at the contact. "Yeah, I'm fine. He'll get over it. He always does."

"I'm glad you could stick up for yourself, at least. Mmm! Takes guts." Vortex chuckles a little and compliments Loona some.

"Thanks." She replies.

Meanwhile, Millie is trying to help her husband, who was stuffed into a beer barrel earlier ago and is now drunk off his ass.

Before she can help him though, something emerges from the ocean. Something big, something dangerous, and something terrifying.

With a loud scream, a giant horrifying sea creature bursts from the waters surface with a screech. All the partygoer humans, including the disguised succubi and incubi, all stop and stare at the creature that looks like something out of a horror book. One of its tentacles appendages comes down onto the beach and completely crushes a relaxing human oblivious to the whole thing, sending blood everywhere. This breaks the stunned state of everyone as the humans scream and run away. Blitzø at the moment was choking some poor target and continues to do so as he looks at the monster while it roars.

"Ooooh! Fish." Moxxie in his drunken state points out the obvious with no cause for concern of the behemoth monster that appeared. Especially when it wraps its tongue around him and pulls him. "Hehehe… Weeeeee…" Moxxie shouts in joy as he is pulled through the air and into its mouth where it closes its jaw.

Millie looks on in concern for a second before she looks around quickly. She spots a spring breaker with an alcoholic cocktail drink and without caring if he's a target or not, kills him with her knife. She tears a piece of cloth and lights it on fire. Without wasting time she tosses her made Molotov cocktail at the fish. The fish becomes emblazoned and quickly loses his balance. Taking her chance Millie rushes into the ocean and movies up the fishes body, slicing it with her knife as she does. She pries open the monster's mouth and sees Moxxie punching the monster's uvula, still not at all freaking out about being eaten by a fish monster. She reaches out her hand toward Moxxie for him to take it so she can save him.

*Clap*

Instead Moxxie gives her a high five. She groans in frustration before she grabs hold of him and is about to pull him out but the fish monster closes its mouth harder, forcing Millie to slip and both her and Moxxie to grab onto the fishes uvula.

"Oh come on!" Millie shouts in anger as she grabs the uvula with one arm and holds her husband with the other.

"Hiiiii sweetie." Moxxie says almost dreamily as he tries to kiss her.

"Moxxie not the time." While flattered at her husbands flattery she's focusing on their precarious situation, and wants to get ready to use her knife to eviscerate the fishes insides. But first she has to get her drunk husband to safety and—

*BOOM*

*CREEAA*

After a loud almost deafening gunshot, the teeth of the monster shatter like glass, raining amongst the two of them. The fish lets out a loud screech of pain as it recoils its tongue back behind them.

The imp couple are forced off the fishes uvula and separated. Before Millie is forced out of the monster, she grabs onto the tip of one of the monsters broken teeth on its upper jaw. She briefly panics as she watchers her husband soar through the air, arms spread open like he's flying, and she relaxes as she barely makes out him landing on their boss. She lets out a breath of relief. Her thoughts soon turn to what exactly blew out the fishes teeth before she notices something else in the distance. Narrowing her eyes a little, she notices a glint on one of the rooftops of the buildings on the boardwalk. It takes her a second to recognize it before she smiles.

"Aah! Hey!" She yelps as the fishes tongue darts out and wraps Millie up, preparing to pull her in and swallow her whole. "Oh no you don't!" She manages to reach for her knife and pulls it out. She frees her arm and prepares to stab it until another gunshot goes off, this time tearing into it's tongue and freeing her. She flips backwards and lands on the fishes top lip. She looks up and smiles at her savior.

On the boardwalk, on the rooftop of one of the rooftops, Ajax kneels there next to ledge of the rooftop. Next to him is the open black case he was carrying around, devoid of its contents, now in his possession.

In his hands is the Accuracy International AX50, an anti-material precision rifle. Using the raised edge of the rooftop he set up the bipod for his weapon. Originally he brought the weapon, one of his personal guns, as means to possibly take out anyone behind a wall, window, a long distance away but quite possibly if the target was in a vehicle. The gun is loud, really loud but due to the music, the screams of other people, and the screeching of the monster drowns out much of his gunshots. It's still loud but people are screaming and running around, hearing gunshots is probably a norm for them when it comes to spring break… plus theirs the loud monster that killed a few people so that's the pressing matter.

Looking through the scope of his rifle, he looks at Millie to see her smiling at him. She even gives him a small salute before she tightens the grip on her knife as once again the tongue tries to grab Millie.

*BOOM*

Again, Ajax fires. From the previous shot he did, a large chunk on the middle of the tongue was blow out from the side when he freed Millie. This next shot though completely tears off the remaining chunk of tongue flesh on the other side, making the fish monster scream eve louder as the tip of its tongue is blown off. As Ajax cocks the bolt handle on his rifle and loads a new round in, Millie smiles devilishly as she does a backflip off the lip of the fish monster and dives into the fishes throat, knife in hand. Through the scope Ajax watches as the fish convulses from getting torn apart from the inside out.

Wanting to end this or at least do more damage, Ajax fires again at the fishes teeth, breaking more them and preventing it from closing up completely, guaranteeing Millie has a way out. With one final shot, he lines up his crosshairs on the fishes eye and fires.

The round sails through the air and tears into the fleshy organ, a large splattering of blood and white viscera exploding from the creatures eyes, making it scream once more, this time blood splattering from its mouth before it stares to fall limp, and eventually stop moving.

*Ch-chik*

He loads another round in and carefully examines all around the creatures body as it slowly begins to sink, looking for any movement of any kind. He smirks as he spots Millie swimming away from the fish corpse and back towards the shoreline. With the threat taken care of, Ajax pulls up his rifle, folding the bipod up, and quickly begins disassembling the weapon to put back in his case. As much as the public and civilians are freaking out, him running out with a sniper-rifle in the middle of the streets is not a good idea.

---

Back on the beach things start to calm down once people realize the fish monster is gone but many had already fled the beach and concert stage.

Only the Hell residents stay on the beach as they get their bearings.

Millie makes her back onto the beach, tired but otherwise unharmed.

"Ohhhh, yeah, way to show off, Mils!" Blitzø calls out and shouts to the female imp.

"Is Mox okay?" She quickly asks as she shakes the water out of her hair a little.

"Oh, yeah. He's fine." He answers with a roll of his eyes and hands the drunken imp off to Millie.

Millie holds Moxxie in her arms as Moxxie grins with a dopy expression. "Thiiiis is funny. I'm sooooo… drinky." He drunkenly states. Millie hugs Moxxie, happily laughing.

"Ooookay, this is too wholesome for my liking." Blitzø almost gags at the lovey-dovey scene in front of him.

"Guys!" A gruff voice calls out to them. Blitzø and Millie look up to see Ajax sliding down the sea wall before grunts as he lands on the sand and jogs up to them. "Is everyone alright?"

"Oh yeah yeah we're good. Just your average fish monster fucking things up as always." Blitzø sarcastically states.

"Thanks again for the sniper support hun!" Millie compliments the human. "Really great work. Go ahead and thank him Moxxie." She shakes Moxxie a little so his head leans back and angles to look at the human with a slurred smile.

"Thaaaaaaank- Bleugh." Moxxie slumps forward and groans. He doesn't hurl or anything, just groans and slumps in his wife's arms.

"You're welcome." Ajax smirks at them and nods, glad to see that they are okay. He places down his case and groans at the aches his body is feeling after the days hectic assignment.

"Blitz-o."

"Oh fuck." Ajax groans at the suave voice that speaks his bosses name. A voice he wasn't exactly happy with before.

"Oh, perfect. That must be the whores!" Blitzø not-so-subtly states out loud.

Behind them that walked up is Verosika and her entire crew, with Loona and Vortex a few feet away watching the two groups meet.

"That was handled rather… obvious… and loudly… Don't you think?" Verosika states with a victorious grin on her face.

As much as Ajax is annoyed with her, he can't help but agree with the fact that the whole monster appearing, and the means in which Millie and Ajax took to kill the creature were not in any way subtle whatsoever. As much as Ajax was hoping his gunshots would have been muffled from the chaos, theirs still a high chance someone would have at least called the police to swarm the scene. While the groups are annoyed at each other, Ajax makes it so to keep his senses on alert in case he hears and sees the police.

"I don't think this belonged to any of us." He looks back at the conversation and sees Millie toss what looks like a flask towards the head succubus Verosika. She looks annoyed at the item before she passes it to her short statured fellow succubus. Milky he thinks her name was. "Would be a shame if anyone found out you guys were behind a giant monster fish in the human world." Millie subtly threatens her.

"Hahaha! Oh, Satan! You're gonna be so… FUUUUCKED!" Moxxie taunts the pop star as he drunkenly laughs about.

"Yeah, well… you three nasty-ass gremlins will be in shit for not being in disguises, and for bringing a human along as well!" She shouts and even points to Ajax. The human though simply hums at the accusation but knows at this point its her trying to put the blame on them.

Moxxie then proceeds to take a step forward and faceplants into the sand. He uses his arms to prop himself up a little. "A human called me a possum. I am not a possum!" He declares and faceplants again.

"No one accused them of being demons." Ajax starts speaking his two cents on the matter. "As Moxxie said, they just think he was a possum and everyone was freaking out more over the giant fish monster YOU made than anything else." He makes sure to emphasize the screw-up that Verosika did. While she was berating the imps for the lack of disguise, the fact her drink caused something on earth to transform to the scale it did was no less a massive screw-up. She growls at that as she glares at Ajax.

"Y'know, we could keep this little B-movie scene on the down low if you agree to let us use that parking space." Blitzø straight up blackmails her as he grins at her.

"…Fine." After a moment of thinking and pretty much swallowing her pride, she agrees.

"WE FUCKIN' WOOOOOOON! HAHAHAHAHA!" He laughs triumphantly.

"Fuck YEAH!" Millie shouts as well.

"IN YOUR FACE, BIIIITCH!" Blitzø continues to rub it in.

While Ajax is not as enthusiastic as the others in their victory, he still smiles and nods at the win.

"Come on, let's get out of here. Tex!" She scoffs at the loss before calling for her bodyguard. While Vortex talks to Loona, Ajax lets out a breath of air at everything is done.

"Oh hey." Ajax gets his allies attention. "Do we still have to finish the contracts or do we just forget them?"

"Fuck no!" Blitzø yells at the human. "The integrity of our reputation will be fucked if we flake on them so even though we get the sweet satisfaction of winning against the skanky whore over there," He rubs his hands together before he waves to Verosika, who hisses at him in reply. "I still want us to get paid. So let me just look at the list here." He pulls out a long list of names that almost hits the floor and even puts on some of those small granny reading glasses as he looks at the names. "Okay, we got him… then we got her… bashed their brains in… you choked him out," He points to Ajax. "Snapped his neck… shot, stabbed, crushed, decapitated, disemboweled… Oh wait we didn't get- Wait… wait wait, no he's done. Loona tore his throat out." Ajax raises an eyebrow before looking towards Loona, who for some reason looks downtrodden and sad and slowly walks towards.

"You okay?" He can't help but ask Loona once she gets close to them.

She lets out a breath of air frustrated and crosses her arms. "Nothing. Just... sucks." She grumbles.

"Oh… I'm sorry to hear that." Ajax apologizes to her.

Loona blows some hair out of her face before sighing. "Whatever. Let's just go."

Whatever's got Loona sad really hit her hard. Ajax nods to her. "Sure. We're done anyway."

"Cool… and I'm uhhh… sorry."

"What?" Ajax asks confused.

"Nothing!" She quickly backtracks what she said and walks past him.

She thinks Ajax didn't hear her but with her back to him, he smiles. He heard her just fine.

"Come on, Loonie Tooney and Jackie Boy! Let's go back and park our fat fuckin' car in our fat fuckin' space!" The portal back to their office building in Hell opens up and Millie drag her husband in before Blitzø hops in. Ajax and Loona are about to go in but Blitzø jumps up once more and mockingly flips the double bird past them. They both look to see Verosika growl in anger before she and her crew make their way to the boardwalk.

"Well this was a hell of a day." Ajax comments as he takes note of the destruction about. Pretty sure he also sees some sharks eating away at the sinking fish monsters corpse until its gone under the surface.

"Yep." Loona mumbles.

Ajax chuckles for a second before sighing. "C'mon, lets go before the police—"

"FREEZE!"

Ajax stiffens up and grabs onto Loona's arm and immediately looks around.

"PUT YOUR HANDS UP, YOU SICK DEVIANTS!"

Thankfully the command wasn't for him. Both of them lookup to see Verosika and her crew with their hands up and over a dozen cops and law enforcement personnel aiming their weapons at the crew.

"Oh boy." Ajax groans as he sees the cops now starting to swarm the area. "Was only a matter of time before they got there. We better go too before they decide to question us."

"… Dude."

"Hm?" He looks at Loona. She stares at him before looking down. He follows her gaze and sees he's still holding her arm. "Oh, sorry." He lets her go and gives her a small apologetic smile. "If the cops had spotted us I wanted to make sure we were gone before they could catch us."

"Yeah yeah." She rubs her wrist before looking back at Verosika and her crew and she sighs.

"Come on." Ajax steps closer to the portal.

"Hold up. We aren't going to help them?" She quickly asks before he goes.

This makes him stop. "I don't like the cops anymore than you or they do but we can't afford to get caught with this mess. Plus we both know they wouldn't lift a finger to help us if we were caught."

"So?" She quickly asks as she gets right up to Ajax. "C'mon I'm sorry about earlier but we just can't let them get hauled off by the fuzz. You don't wanna be in their shoes and neither do I at the moment. Besides, we're still going to work in the same building once they get out. At least if we help them out now we can try to make things less awkward and crappy at the office." She explains as best she can to him.

Ajax hums at the thought. Frankly he doesn't want to deal with the police as he said, he's also not fond of Verosika and her crew for what they did to Moxxie… but he also knows how much Loona likes Verosika and Vortex, and she is right that they are still going to work closely together. After this bet is done both sides are going to be pissed at each other no matter what.

He groans and pinches the bridge of his nose. 'At least we can somewhat smooth things out to make sure our daily lives aren't completely fucked.'

He looks at Loona.

"…"

His resolve cracks with a groan.

"Goddamnit."

"HEY! What's the hold up?!" Blitzø grabs onto the edge of the portal and pokes his head back out the portal and looks at the two of them. "Well?!"

"Change of plans: we missed a target. We'll be back." Ajax informs him as he picks up his case with both hands.

"What?! I checked the list we got—"

"Hold onto this for me will you?"

"Wha- Oof!" Just as Blitzø goes to complain, question or what have you, Ajax tosses his gun case to the imp boss. Blitzø reflexively grabs the case but this makes him let go of the edge of the portal and he falls back into the office.

"We'll call when we're done!" Ajax shouts into the portal before it closes up. With their way out closed, he lets out a breath of air and gets thinking on the next plan. "Follow me." Ajax orders and moves towards the dock they hid under earlier with Loona right behind him. 'I don't think she realizes she gave me the human equivalent of puppy dog eyes.' He thinks as they move.

Once they make it to the dock, they head to the other side and climb up the seawall until they are on the opposite of the dock from the police. With their vantage point they can see just what they are dealing with.

And it isn't good.

"Well shit."

"Second thoughts?" Ajax asks Loona.

"Somewhat… but we're still gonna get them out of there."

There are dozens and dozens of police officers and law enforcement personnel scattered all over the area. Police cars and even some police vans are setup in front of many of the stores on the boardwalk. The men and women in blue uniforms are already grabbing dozens of beach and partygoers and putting them into handcuffs and getting ready to cart them off. Riot police are even in the area and one of their armored vans is being used to hold Verosika and her crew they manage to spot them just barely getting loaded in. Apparently Verosika is still a popular name on Earth so what better place to hold someone famous for questioning and transport than in an armored truck.

"So… you got a plan?" Loona asks him.

He doesn't immediately answer her before he responds. "Get to the alleyway closest to the back of their van. As soon as you see and hear the signal, get them out once its clear and to the alley. We break line of sight and we can pull out easy." He tells her before he pushes himself up and makes a break for it.

Loona looks in surprise at his form as he books it from her. "What?! What signal?!" She whisper shouts to him.

"You'll know it!" He replies and makes it around the corner of a building before she can ask anymore.

She looks incredulously at him before she groans. "What is with him and that vague bullshit?!" She questions to herself in frustration and starts making her way to her position.

---

Meanwhile, inside the armored van.

All of Verosika and her crew lay slumped in their seats, hands cuffed and overall depressed at the situation they are in.

"Are we really going to have to suck some of these pig dicks?" Milky groans as she slumps lower in her chair with a pout. "I reeeeaaaaallllly don't wannaaaaaa." She groans loudly.

Some of the others in her crew adept at all kinds of sexual activities voice their annoyance with the situation and are not happy with the way things are going. True they are succubus and incubi and like sex and foreplay but only when they want to, not that they have to in order to get out of a crappy situation they are in.

"Yes yes I know it sucks." Verosika groans along with her friends. I don't like It either but we're gonna have to do something to get out of this shit." She sulks for a second before she slams her fists into the side of the van. "HEY!" This makes her crew flinch at her sudden action. "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO US! We were just playing a concert damnit!"

"Quiet!" A reply is heard from the outside along with some thumpings on the side of the vehicle to accompany them. "We already have witnesses that say you were encouraging and participating in an orgy in public! We know spring break can get wild but that's against the fucking law!"

"Grrrraaah!" Verosika groans one last time and hits the wall before slumping back in her seat. She growls a little in anger as she remembers why they got in their situation to begin with. "Fucking Blitz-o you piece of shit. Just had to fuck things up again." She hisses at the name. She sits herself up and blows out some air in frustration. "What else can fucking go wrong?"

*BOOOM*

All the occupants jerk in surprise as what sounds like an explosion goes off nearby.

"What was that?!"

Vortex stands up and presses his ear to the side of the vehicle and listens to what's happening. "… Huh."

"Tex. What's happening?" Verosika quickly asks him.

"Hmmm, hard to say. But right now the police are going crazy and theirs a lot of orders being thrown around. The helicopters are bugging out and most the police are heading away from us. Hold on… I can hear a set of footprints near us and—"

*THUNK*

All the captive demons in disguise turn to the door as someone slams into it and begins working on the lock outside. Vortex moves to the front and assumes a fighting stance and gets ready just in case.

When the door opens open, the occupants are surprised to see Loona standing there. "C'mon! We don't have long!" She quickly informs them quietly and waves to usher them out.

"What are you doing he—"

"I said get the fuck out of here!" She whisper yells to one of the incubi, scaring the hell out of him and forcing him to hug the other next to him in fear. This gets them all in gear and quickly shuffle out. "Alleyway! Move!" She whisper loudly to them and points to the closest alleyway. All of the demons quickly make their way towards the entrance to the nearest alleyway in the open. As Verosika and Vortex are in the open, they look down the boardwalk and see what's got much of the cops attention.

A little ways away they spot the burning wreckage of a car and all eyes are on the destruction, including the choppers overhead as they search around that specific area. It also makes them realize that the police didn't completely abandon their posts near the armored van, just that most moved to the front of the vehicle and are staring at the fireball in front of them. With the cops so close they all book into the alleyway and quickly break line of sight.

They don't stop though as Loona quickly leads them down a few more twists and turns between more buildings until they have enough cover around them, including some extended roof awnings above them. Once they are done running everyone stops and breathes out breaths of air in relief at no long being confined in police custody.

"Everyone made it?" Loona quickly asks them all as the various members of Verosika's crew hug each other in joy.

Vortex quickly looks around, doing a headcount and nods. "We're all here. We made it. Thanks for busting us out of there." He thanks Loona.

She blushes a little in response and wipes a strand of hair behind her ear. "Don't worry about it. But I wasn't the only one to—"

"How'd it go?" Suddenly they gruff voice of someone they all know or hear of speaks up, the imposing figure of Ajax steps out from around one of the corners.

Almost immediately many of Verosika's crew, including herself, tense up and stare at the human. His first impression on them has not exactly gone away in the short time they've been away from each other.

Loona doesn't notice their tense states and nods to Ajax. "No problem at all. Went in, opened the door, got them here, simple."

"Good, good. Last thing we need is getting into a shootout with the police."

"No kidding." Loona smirks before she looks at him curiously. "By the way, what did you do to make your distraction?"

At Loona's question, Ajax smiles.

---

Couple minutes ago…

Ajax peeks out from corner of a building, spotting the police all over the place and looking for any sort of opportunity for him to get their attention elsewhere. It doesn't take him long to find his target of opportunity:

A lone police car on the edge of all the units.

He smiles and ducks back into the alleyway. He walks by a dumpster and spots some beachgoer sitting against a wall nearby and lighting up a crack pipe with a bic lighter. He walks up to him, the guy oblivious to the world around him as he gets high. Ajax snatches the lighter from his hand.

"Hey! What the fu—!"

*Smack*

It doesn't take much for the veteran to grab his head and slam his head against the wall. Not enough to kill the poor bastard but enough to knock him out, give him a headache and leave his body slumped sitting against the wall, the still smoking pipe in his hand at his side. Ajax passes by the dumpster and scoops up an old dirty splotched rag laying on the ground. He subtly flinches at the crusty feeling of the rag but presses on as he quickly looks around for anyone to see him. To his luck most of the police are focused inwardly and towards the beach for any law breakers and such. He crouch runs towards the police car and quickly places himself next to it. After a quick look to make sure no one saw him, he is about to get to work.

Just before he does, he notices something very peculiar about the car he's next to.

They forgot to lock it.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" He groans at the incompetence and gently opens the passenger side door and rummages inside. One set of handcuff keys later and a police issued Mossberg shotgun in hand, he closes the door with his knuckles carefully and gets back to his original place.

Sliding his way to the back of the car, he opens the gas tank lid and promptly begins stuffing the rag inside as much as he can until he's got enough left to complete his plan. Once its done, he takes the lighter and goes about to try to light up the rag.

It takes several tries for the lighter to actually light up and quelled his growing annoyance to break the damn thing. If it didn't light up he was going to consider breaking it and using the light fluid instead. But he doesn't have to so while he waits for the rag to light up, he peaks over the top of the car and keeps an eye out for more eyes in his general direction.

Luck is still on his side because as soon as the rag catches on fire, no one sees him as he books it back to the alleyway. As soon as he's back in cover he takes several long breaths as he tries to calm his rapidly beating heart. A quick look back to see the rag still burning and no one near the soon-to-be fireball, he smiles and begins making is way deeper into the alleyway.

"… Ow… what happened?"

*Tap*

The druggie Ajax knocked out earlier begins to regain consciousness as Ajax tosses the lighter back into his face, making his groan at the light hit. Before he can figure things out,

*BOOOM*

The car explodes.

He flinches a bit at the loud explosion but is too drugged out to really care as much as he resumes smoking. By that point Ajax has already disappeared into the maze of alleys.

---

"It didn't take much to force their attention elsewhere." Ajax shrugs as he finishes recounting his actions earlier. He places the shotgun down against the wall and pulls out a couple handcuff keys. "C'mon, lets get you all out of those." He tosses the other one to Loona and they go about opening up the cuffs from the demons in disguise.

When Ajax walks up to them most of them flinch as he grab the cuffs and begins fiddling with the locks but he ignores their scared states and focuses on freeing them alongside Loona. However Ajax intentionally skips Vortex as he unlocks their cuffs.

"Yo." Ajax looks at the disguised Hellhound as he holds up his cuffs. "You really gonna leave me in these?" He asks with a raised questioning eyebrow at the human.

Ajax smirks and continues freeing the others. "Like you need me to get you out of those flimsy things."

"…" Vortex stares at the human for a few seconds before he smirks and nods. "Alright then, you got me." Without much effort, Vortex pulls his wrists away from each other snaps the metal holding the cuffs together, then he proceeds to grab cuff rings around his wrist with opposite hands and snap them off too.

Needless to say this left of the crew members shocked at his ease.

"Wait, this whole time you could have freed yourself and then us?" Verosika asks in disbelief, to which Vortex nods yes back to her. "Well the hell didn't you do something when we were all getting cuffed in the back of the pig mobile?!" She asks loudly and annoyed.

"Appearances, and your safety." It's Ajax that answers instead of Vortex. All eyes are on the human as the last of Verosika's crew is free of their handcuffs. With the task done he looks to Verosika to answer her. "As soon as you all were about to leave the beach, you were immediately ambushed by over a dozen police officers and law enforcement personnel including helicopters and taken into custody. While Vortex could have fought back and possibly won the fight, there is absolutely no way this would have been done quietly, your real identity's and forms would have been found out and plastered all over the news. It would have also come at a high risk of putting you and your friends in danger."

Verosika looks skeptically at the human before she rears around and stares at Vortex for clarification. He shrugs and smiles nervously. "Sorry boss but he's right. While giving blowjobs to the entire police department may not have been an option that you all would have liked, it was the safest option I could go with to make sure you were not going to get hurt at all." He apologizes to her. "I'm good… but I can't take on a dozen guns aimed at me all at once and guarantee your safety at the same time.

Verosika looks at him annoyed for a few seconds before she sighs and wipes her hand down her face. "Fucking damnit this was a fucking mess." She grumbles before she crosses her arms in annoyance. "Should have never accepted that stupid challenge." Despite her annoyed and pissed off state, she manages to recompense herself with a hand wave through her hair. "Well, I guess we owe for busting us then. So… thanks."

"Ohh! Yes! Yo-your welcome. It was our pleasure really." Loona makes a poor attempt at hiding her gushing state at the popular pop-star she is a fan of.

"Hmm, well I know you are," She smiles at Loona before she frowns as she turns to Ajax. "You though, I have the feeling you aren't."

Ajax doesn't say anything but just shrugs back at her.

She sighs and closes her eyes with a shrug. "Whatever. It's done at least." She then looks at him and smirks a little before stepping closer to him. "I don't suppose you reconsidered my offe—"

She stops talking as her attempt to place her hand on his shoulder is interrupted by Ajax grabbing her wrist with one hand. This makes her freeze and everyone else freeze up, except one.

Loona and the rest of Verosika's crew, after tensing up at seeing Ajax grab the pop-star, look at Vortex and see what he's going to do but remains standing where he's at, staring at the two with an impassive look.

Ajax doesn't continue holding onto Verosika long as he soon lets go of her but has annoyed look on his face. "No. I didn't. Listen. We're going to be stuck dealing with each other while your in the same office building as us. Whatever beef you have with my boss is between the two of you. Let's not make our daily business lives a living hell." He answers, then he gets a questionable look. "Well, more hellish I guess. Let's not fuck things up anymore than they already are for both sides." He tries to placate and ease the tension between the two groups after everything is all said and done.

"Hmph!" She scoffs and steps back, rubbing her wrist as she does but Ajax knows it's a simple farce as he didn't put enough pressure to actually hurt her. "You did save us from a very suckish time with the disgusting police pigs… so I guess I'll do what I can to… ease things off you guys." She tries to offer with a small smile. "But no promises!" She suddenly shouts and points an accusatory finger at Ajax.

He smiles and nods. "That's all I can ask." He suddenly frowns as he looks up. The others all freak out and press themselves up against he sides of the building as a helicopter goes over them. Ajax isn't worried as he stands where he is, the roof coverings blocking the helicopters line of sight and theirs no sign of the policemen on the ground being close to them, not with the amount of turns and movements they all took. "Speaking of police, we better get out of here. Loona!" The Hellhound tenses up as he calls out her name and waves her to him as he walks down the alley. "Let's get out of here!" She nods and sprints to him as he pulls out his phone. "Pleasure doing business with you!" He calls back with a hand wave as he speed dials a number and they turn a corner.

With that, the crew of sex demons and Hellhound bodyguard are alone and staring at the duo that just left.

"…Wow." Josh mutters in astonishment, the events of the day catching up to them.

"You can say that again." Milky replies.

"Wow."

"She didn't mean liter—"

"Forget it." Verosika calls out, shutting down the conversation and preventing them from getting into an argument. "Get a portal going and get us out of here before we're caught again."

"On it." While the others get to work in getting their way out, Verosika sighs before she turns to Vortex and gives him glare.

"You know, you haven't exactly been on your game today when it comes to protecting me you know." She states to him. "I can forgive the first two time, the first one being you weren't even in the same room as me, and the second with the cops because your reason made sense. But right now, here, you just stood there as that human grabbed me." She lays down the facts for him with her voice getting a bit of an annoyed edge to it. "So can you also explain to me why I should keep you on as my bodyguard after just now?" She asks with her arms crossed and an eyebrow raised questioningly.

Vortex stares at her for a second before he takes a deep breath of air through his mouth before he exhales through his nose. "As you know boss, I'm a Hellhound. On top of having the ability to catch the scent of any threats that come close to us, we have the animal instincts to know when what is a threat to us or not." He glances down the alley where the human and hellhound left. "The first time I met that human, in the parking lot, I didn't even notice him at first until he made his presence known. He's good… really good." He narrows his eyes as he remembers that encounter. "In the break room, as soon as I was in front of him again, my claws on his neck and his gun in my face, I could feel it basically. He was very, very angry… but I didn't sense an announce of fear at all in him when I could have easily tore his head from his body." Soon his expression begins to soften as he looks back at her. "He was a threat then, but right now… their was nothing." This gets Verosika to look at him curiously and confused. "Boss, he was serious before about his threat against you but this time, I think he was he just making a point instead of outright threatening you. Did he hurt you?" He quickly asks after he's done explaining. It wasn't so much asked out of concern but more so for clarification when Verosika was grabbed a minute ago.

"Mmmmm…" Verosika hums as she rubs her wrist but shakes her head as she confirms he didn't in fact hurt her when he grabbed her wrist a little bit ago.

Vortex smiles at that. "Then, as long as we don't try to antagonize or harass him and his friends, I think we'll be alright." He walks past Verosika, heading for the others as they finally manage to get the portal open.

As the others quickly begin making their way in, Verosika sighs through her nose and chuckles a little to herself. "Quite the employee Blitzo." She says, not putting as much emphasis on the 'o' as usual. She makes her way through the portal with one last comment for herself. "Quite the employee you have."

---

The day of killing that IMP had was over and done with. Some hours have passed for the group. All employee's are back in their office with Blitzø in his office calling their clients and letting them know the targets are down. They had a lot of targets so the head imp is particularly annoyed at the sheer number of calls he has to make.

Millie in the main foyer area and is going down the list of their targets, double checking their numbers so they didn't miss any.

Moxxie is lying on the couch with a bag of ice on his head, an uneasy and almost queasy look on his face. So far he hasn't hurled his stomach contents out and is just trying to keep his headache down with the bag of ice and calm himself so he doesn't throw up.

Loona is as per usual at her desk and idly scrolling through the computer, her phone next to her on her left with the grimoire to her right. Ready to be used.

"So," Millie speaks up to Loona, putting down the list and asking the Helhound. "Where is Ajax exactly? He didn't say anything when you guys came back?"

"Goddamnit." Loona groans as she looks away from her computer annoyed. "Look, I already told you: I don't know. We got here to hell. We made it. All was good, then for some reason he decided he wanted me to send him to another place on Earth and didn't even elaborate why. So sorry that I don't know where he goes to everywhere on earth all the time!" She sarcastically apologizes loudly.

"Ughhhhhh…" Moxxie groans as he rubs the bag of ice over his face for a second. "Please… can you lower the volume please? I've got a bad headache and my head is killing me."

"YOU KNOW—!" Loona begins to shout at the imp on the couch with her teeth bared.

*Ding*

Her phone dings, shifting her attention to it. She completely abandons the yelling she was going to do to make Moxxies life miserable and looks at the message. "Well speak of the fucker." Loona comments as she gets up, grabs the book, and walks to the center of the room. Millie looks on curiously as Loona begins setting up the portal. Once the portal is formed, Moxxie gently moves the ice pack and peeks one eye out to see what's going on.

Loona leans towards the portal to look out when Ajax doesn't immediately walk through it.

"Heads up."

Loona jerks back as something is pushed through the portal. A small dolly is pushed through the portal and wheels into the room until it stops in the center of the office room. Loona and Millie look at it confused. It's a small metal four wheel dolly with a few cardboard boxes stacked on it. "Watch it." Ajax steps through the portal carrying a plastic grey case half the size of a regular briefcase in hand. "There we are." He states as the portal closes behind him.

"Whoa. What's all this?" Millie asks as she walks up to the boxes, looking at them curiously.

"Well Millie," Ajax begins to say as he places the case on the corner of Loona's desk and walks over to the boxes. "I have noticed beforehand that our means of stabilizing and fixing ourselves up medically is quite limited. So I was able to get in contact with a buddy of mine and was able to procure some much needed medical supplies that we need in the event that any of us are in dire need of some medical attention." He explains oh so eloquently and opens up the top most box. The equipment and supplies he got is pretty much everything one could think of when it comes to most standard injuries, lacerations and gunshot wounds.

Syringes for injections, morphine, surgical tubing, adrenaline shots and epinephrine, IV drips, medical-grade alcohol, IV bags, empty blood bags, painkillers, saline, and so forth. Adding onto that he also acquired several tools and items to help with minor surgical procedures, such as extracting bullets from a body, including a few textbooks to help in learning that general information. It's not perfect and while it would be better to have a licensed doctor to help when its needed, the regenerated abilities that some of the demons seem to have means they just need some basic items or procedures to make sure the healing process is a smooth transition.

Ajax has trained in dealing with intense trauma injuries in the field so he should have a general idea on how to treat the others should they need any serious medical help. Plus since his occupation in the past was focused on gunshots, close quarters combat and even possible shrapnel from explosives, his current occupation will fit that means of getting injuries of those type.

While he does have some medical supplies in storage, they are at least a little bit old and he wants to make sure his fellow employees are equipped with the best and most up to date setup he can get.

"Moxxie heads up." The imp with his peeking eye was able to spot the small pill bottle and water bottle thrown at him. He quickly gets up, knocking the ice bag off his head and catch the items with both hands, making him wince as rubs the side of his head. "Aspirin for your headache. It may not be able to help with your hangover but that should help a little with your headache at least."

"Ohhh thank you!" Moxxie shouts and rips the cap off the aspirin bottle and downs a few pills followed by a large swig of water. As much as the medicine is a welcome aid for him, the sudden ingestion starts making him queasy again. He groans as he lays back down and attempts to ease his nausea with small sips of water.

"Holy shit this is a lot." Loona comments as she picks up a small vial of unopened morphine and looks at the liquid inside. She smirks as she gets an idea, "You know, theirs more than a few people down here that would pay—"

"No."

Loona snaps her gaze at the human as he organizes some things while Millie looks at some of the medical tools inside the boxes. "Oh come on man! If you could get this stuff easily for a steal then we can sell them off at a way higher price and make a fortune—"

"I can't get anymore of these." His next words stop Loona in her explanation of their supposed opportunity. When she doesn't speak up and both she and Millie are looking at him, he sighs and rubs his face. He grabs a bottle of painkillers and pops a few pills into his mouth and swallows, the days events starting to catch up to his aging body. "I know a guy who owed me a favor. I called him up with the list of supplies and he provided post haste. How he got them I don't know and I don't care… but I'm pretty sure he didn't exactly pay for these himself from a legal company." He groans but shakes his head at the thought and straightens himself up. "So if I want more from him, I need to pay extra for his goods." He turns to Loona and stares at her. "So no, I can't make a fortune."

Loona narrows her eyes at him before she scoffs. "Hmph. Whatever man. Just trying to find something to help us." She waves her hand off nonchalantly and heads back to her desk.

Ajax stares at her for a bit as she surfs the internet. He walks up to her and grabs the case he left on the corner of her desk. "Maybe not… but I know I can help you directly." He states, getting her attention again.

He holds out the case for and she takes it, albeit curiously and also confused. "What is this?" She asks annoyed at being bothered still and opens the case on her desk.

Her confusion is ever present as she sees the inside is a soft foam-lined case with several syringes, vials, and pill tablets. It takes her a second to look at the contents and contemplate what they are. 'What the fuck are these? Drugs? Party favors? Stuff for a good time?' She questions but quickly dismisses the idea. 'Nahhh. The way he is, pretty sure he's not one to partake. But what are these then? None of this looks like meth, or coke, or angel dust, or—'

"Before you had asked for the cure for Syphilis. Well, there you go."

"…" She doesn't even process the words he said at first. Her thought process was derailed and now she's trying to figure out what he said exactly. "I-… what?" She asks dumbfounded.

He nods again and waves to the case and its contents. "If someone got Syphilis then within the year they could get it cured easily as it was still early on. However longer than a year and it requires several routine injections of antibiotics and medicine. The instructions are also in there so give it some time and the syphilis will be cured from them." He answers nonchalantly to her.

Loona doesn't say anything at first, just staring down at the case with a slightly open mouth before she stiffens up and quickly closes it before giving Ajax nervous smile. "Oh! Yes yeah this is good! My uhh… my friend will really… really appreciate this."

Ajax stares at her for a few seconds back before he smirks and nods. "That's good. Glad I can help her." He walks back to the other supplies of meds he got but not before he waves back at Loona again. "We got plenty more meds so if for whatever reason it hasn't cleared up, let me know and I can setup more."

"Th-thanks." Loona stutters a little her gratitude. "For my friend!" She reiterates it again loudly and surely.

"Sure." Ajax replies cooly as he helps Millie unload some stuff.

Loona for her part slumps in her seat at the embarrassment before eyeing the case some more. She grabs hold of it and smiles before she quietly begins making her way out of the room.

She tries to be stealthy but Ajax smiles some more once she's out of the room.

"That was sweet of you." Millie comments with a smirk to him. "Helpin' her out like that."

Ajax chuckles at the compliment from her before he sighs and nods. "Yeah, I thought it was best. No one deserves to have that."

"Despite her usually yelling at you or ignoring ya'?" She asks curiously a little.

Ajax takes a moment to think as he remembers most of the time she either dismisses him or just ignores him. He also remembers the few moments where she's actually nice and thanks him when the situation called for it. "She's a bit rough around the edges… but she's good. She's good." He tells her with a small smile.

The day was a hell of an undertaking for them, but they did, plus more.

---

Quite the Spring Break adventure I'd say for many people involved. Was a little excited for writing this chapter as it gave me a few ideas for Ajax to show some more of his ingenuity as well as his more violent tendencies, just to show that while he's a professional, he's still human with quite the slew of emotions set deep within him. He does what he can considering everything. Not to mention now that he's got them some much needed supplies for any of their more violent adventures.

Coldblue2015: Thank you for the review. Quite the idea you got for Ajax and I like your thoughts on it.

As for your questions:

1) Can we expect Ajax soul to be growing powerful due to his exposure in Hell and kind of getting pumped with Hell Energy to make him as powerful as Overlord? It's possible but so far we don't know everything that's going on in Hell or what influences it has for people. I like to slow my writing down for some shows in progress just in case we get more information that could help or hinder some ideas. With new Helluva Boss episodes being released and the new Hazbin Hotel show soon to be released around the corner, we're going to soon get plenty of new information, entertainment and lore.

2) Will we expect Ajax to travel into Pentagram City to see the Princess of Hell trying to create a program to redeem sinners? I've dabbled in the idea of Ajax visiting their particular hotel. Don't know when exactly but it's a possibility.

3) How likely is Ajax going capable of Materialize Weapons or use Hell Energy as form of weapon, when he becomes a Sinner? If he does become a sinner, that might be a pretty fitting power for him to have. War, combat and fighting are his life's work so abilities that would allow him to make or form weapons would be pretty appropriate for him.

4) Any chances Ajax will piece it together quickly that Striker working for Stella and due to Ajax professionalism will warn Stolas as client/sponsor to IMP organization? That's one possibility that could happen for him. Although during their first interaction suffice it to say that Ajax and Strikers interaction is not going to go exactly how one would expect.

5) Is there a chance Verosika Mayday and her Succubus/Incubus crew Lustful-Effects will influence Ajax or just give Ajax memories of past relationships he had has young man? I think the current chapter that was read on this will answer this particular question.

6) Given that Ajax lives in the Pride Ring in Imp City, can we expect Ajax to deal with Hell yearly Extermination Day and survive that? Oh that's pretty much a given. They didn't do whole lot with Extermination Day and suffice it to say that is going to be quite the time for Ajax to deal with when it comes down to it.

Boss Teal: Don't know what you mean but hope you like it still.

Ultrautahraptor: Good review. Thank you for your words. I'm glad to see that the work I've done and put into Ajax were well received. As it stands theirs plenty more work to be done for this story and plenty more time and ideas to put into it. Always got more stuff cooking up to make the lives of Ajax and the rest of IMP that much more interesting that's for sure.

And you're a little right about Loona. While it is a bit cliché to have romances setup for Loona since she is so very popular and practically everyone's favorite 9 times out of 10, that's just how things are when it comes to very popular characters and you'll more often than not find so many stories shipping Loona with who knows how many characters. I thank you for your words and I hope you continue to enjoy my work and I hope you manage to find a story out there that properly suits your tastes.

Guest: … Okay. Don't know why you decided to add an entire bio and information for the SCP Foundation. Great bit of fiction lore there but not sure why you got that here.

Thank you all for continued support. This is story is coming along nicely and I'm liking how this story is shaping up and how the show series itself is shaping up. Always fun to see more of their episodes as things are uploaded. Go ahead and fave, follow, review, whatever you wish. Have fun reading everyone but most of all, have a great day each and everyone of you.
