Helluva Boss- Hellhound Lincoln

by LeeGriffin

What if Millie had adopted a Hellhound son after an Extermination? Well, that Hellhound is named Lincoln, and he now has a crazy life in Hell.

16. Truth Seekers

The episode opens up to panning shots of four monitors. The first shows Lincoln and Moxxie outside Martha's house, Moxxie then pushing Lincoln's gun causing him to shoot in the wrong direction in "Murder Family". The second shows Lincoln coming out of the ocean after killing the fish monster in "Spring Broken", the third shows Millie and Moxxie French-kissing while swinging on a rope in "C.H.E.R.U.B.", and the fourth shows a shot of horses, which then zooms in past them onto Blitzo, who was caught choking on the boba pearls of his drink. Someone then points at the screen with Blitzo.

Agent One: Right there! This was the first sighting.

Agent Two: They are definitely from Hell. They must use this dark magic to cross over into our world... and they seem to be killing specifically targeted people. But, why?

Agent One: They always attack at random, aaaall over the country. There's no way to predict where they'll show up next!

A loud clattering noise is heard from outside, followed by a stock angry cat sound. The two agents immediately glance over to a barred-up window obscured by heavily damaged blinds. Agent Two makes a gap between the blinds to the outside to see what made that noise. The agents then see the source of all the racket: Blitzo, standing on a box and a dumpster while holding the dumpster lid open. He looks around suspiciously.

Agent Two: Ahhh, well... That's convenient.

Cut to Blitzo outside, standing on trash bags and holding a dumpster lid open.

Blitzo: Shhhhh! Remember, we can't be seen.

Blitzo slams the dumpster lid loudly, but then falls backwards into a pile of trash bags. Millie silently chuckles at his predicament, then walks away. Lincoln rolls his eyes.

Moxxie: Pardon my words, sir, but you're currently being the loudest.

Blitzo jumps up out of the garbage pile covered in trash; he has an old newspaper on his forehead, a half-eaten lollipop stuck to the side of his head, a scrap of paper on his horn with an old banana peel impaled on the end of it, and a used condom on his index finger, the same finger he uses to poke Moxxie's face indignantly.

Blitzo: *softly* I said shuuush your dick-sucking lips, Moxxie!

Moxxie steps away from his boss for a short moment, likely grossed out from Blitzo's condom finger, which Lincoln slaps away, as he notices a portal opening behind him. Loona is seen on the other end and Millie jumps into it, waving to Moxxie and Lincoln. Moxxie begins to walk towards the portal but he and Blitzo are suddenly tackled to the ground by Lincoln, barely missing a net being shot their way.

Lincoln: GET DOWN!

Agent One cocks his net launcher, readying another capture net. Lincoln and Blitzo look behind them and see Agent Two jump down on a rope from a building, landing in front of the portal.

Blitzo: LOONA! CLOSE IT!

Millie: Wait, no!

She tries to run through the portal before it closes, but fails. Moxxie, seeing the portal close, is distraught at first but quickly shifts to angry, pulling out a pistol in an attempt to fight off the two agents with Lincoln while Blitzo hides. He jumps off a wooden pallet to dodge both a tranquilizer dart and a capture net and prepares to fire. However, he is hit in the neck from behind by a tranquilizer dart.

Moxxie stumbles, mumbling incoherently, then falls to the ground.

Blitzo: MOXXIE!

Lincoln: DAD!

With quick thinking, Blitzo grabs Moxxie, knocking down the trash can he was hiding behind, and runs away as Lincoln runs with them. Blitzo smacks Agent Two in the face with Moxxie and keeps on running through the alleyway.

Moxxie: *slurred* I smell... *sniffs* colors...

Blitzo and Lincoln eventually reach a dead end. The agents waste no time in cornering them. Blitzo raises his gun as Lincoln growls with his claws out, ready to fight.

Blitzo: Back off, you tuxedo-wearing FUCKS!

Blitzo and the agents both ready their guns and prepare for a firefight. But just as Blitzo is about to fire, Agent Two pushes a button on her gun, causing Blitzo, Lincoln and Moxxie to be electrocuted. Moxxie is shocked out of Blitzo's grip and Blitzo and Lincoln are zapped a second time from residual charge, the former dropping his gun and going down for the count. As Lincoln falls to a knee, he looks up with a glare and a snarl. The agents are then seen through Lincoln's eyes

Agent One: *chuckles confidently* I'd like to see the suits at corporate callin' us losers now! That was pretty badass.

Agent Two: *cocks gun* Super badass!

Soon enough, Blitzo and Lincoln pass out. Meanwhile in the I.M.P. office, Millie furiously punches the wall, tears in her eyes and making vicious demon screeches, before falling to her knees devastated.

Millie: SHIT! Shit, shit, shit!

Millie wails with her head and hands on the floor. Loona stands behind her with Stolas' Grimoire in her hands, looking concerned.

Loona: You, uh... You okay, there?

Millie suddenly stands up, startling Loona into dropping the Grimoire and holding her hands up defensively.

Millie: What're you doing sittin' there?! The boys are in trouble! Open it again!

Loona: Blitzo was using a total of zero euphemisms, innuendos, or swears. That means it was serious, which means I don't open it until-

Consumed by rage and worry for her husband, son and boss, Millie grabs Loona by her shirt and yanks her down to face level.

Millie: *furious* OPEN THE FUCKING PORTAL NOW!

Cuts to a sequence of Loona and Millie gearing up for a rescue mission. Loona zips a backpack labeled "Blitzø's Emergen-C Bag" closed, an angry Millie twirls and lifts a giant double-headed axe with the 'M' in the middle, and Loona transforms to her human form. The portal opens again, and Millie leaps out and lands in a pose while Loona nonchalantly steps through.

Millie: They aren't here...!

Millie drops her axe and falls to her knees again, tears welling in her eyes. Before she can cry, Loona suddenly grabs and lifts her up, bending down to sniff the ground to track where Blitzo, Lincoln and Moxxie went.

Loona: It smells like they went this way.

Loona drops Millie into the backpack and slings it onto her back, then grabs Millie's axe off the ground, resting it on her shoulder.

Loona: Come on. Let's find Lincoln and the dumbass twins.

Loona starts running towards the screen while carrying Millie.

Meanwhile, in an unknown location, Moxxie wakes up and looks around groggily. The camera zooms out revealing that he, Lincoln and Blitzo are tied to chairs. Moxxie panics and briefly struggles to get out, until Agent Two grabs the lamp over their heads and brings it close to Moxxie's face, causing him to flinch away.

Agent Two: Finally awake, huh, little fella? *releases the lamp* Your partner and your pet have been for a while now.

Moxxie: angrily snaps at her as Lincoln growls That "pet" is my son, you stupid assuming bitch!

Agent Two: *a bit dumbfounded* Seriously? Wow. What demon fucked up your life that bad?

Agent Two was quick to rear back her head when Lincoln furiously snapped his jaws at her.

Lincoln: Better watch your fucking mouth!

The camera zooms out to reveal that not only are Blitzo, Moxxie, and Lincoln tied up, but their tails are wrapped together and chained to an iron ball.

Blitzo: And look, shitbag, it takes a lot to keep me down, alright? I took a fuck-ton of tranquilizers in the college I dropped out of. Also, I've been strapped nipple first to a car battery. So, I-

Blitzo flinches as the lamp is shined in his face by Agent One.

Blitzo: Ohhh, okay!

Agent One: Tell us, demon scum! Who do you work for? Satan?!

Agent Two grabs the light again. They begin grabbing it back and forth as they interrogate the two Imps and Hellhound.

Agent Two: How did you get to our world from the afterlife?

Agent One: Why are youse killin' humans?!

Agent Two: When did you show up here?

The two agents stop passing the lights as Blitzo interrupts them.

Blitzo: *annoyed* Okay, I'm gonna stop you right there, bitch. First of all, we just woke up from a veeeery nasty shock. And I'm still feelin' fuckin' woozy, so I'm gonna request you fetch us some coffee before we get into this. I mean, everyone gets coffee in shitty movies with scenes like this, am I right? I want somethin' iced, bitch!

Blitzo turns his head around to Moxxie and Lincoln.

Blitzo: Mox? Linc?

Lincoln: Just get me a plain black coffee.

Moxxie: I'll have a Neapolitan cappuccino, more cappu- than -ccino, make sure it's got no more than four ounces of milk; the beans won't have the right texture otherwise, and make sure they spell my name correctly on the cup-they always put "Foxy" or "Roxy"; I hate that. If you can't handle that, I'll have a Venti traditional misto. Please use soy milk, with two blond shots affogato *points foot accusatorily at Agent Two* and ristretto! I'd also love... three vanilla pumps at the very bottom, then add the coffee after, then add-

Agent One: ENOUGH! We aren't getting youse coffee!

Blitzo: Wow. I was getting massive douche chills just there, Mox. Congrats!

Agent Two: *leans up close to Moxxie's face* If we have to, we are willing to resort to torture methods to get answers outta you nasty hell beasts!

Moxxie: When you say "torture", do you mean physical or psychological? Physical seems counterproductive; we would likely tell you anything if it meant an end to the pain.

Lincoln: *looks at Agent Two* Not to mention, you would have no way of knowing what was true.

Moxxie: That too.

Blitzo: Or we might like it too much. And then you've got a whole new thing to deal with.

Agent One: *points accusingly at Blitzo* What do you mean by that?

Blitzo: Ah, you're stupid, huh? I can work with stupid. Daddy likey dummy.

Lincoln bursts into heavy laughter as Moxxie squirms in his chair trying to hold in his laughter but laughs anyway.

Lincoln: *wheezing with delight* Nice one, Blitzo!

Moxxie: *laughing, stomps his hoof on the floor* "Daddy likey"!

Agent Two: You better stop laughin' at us!

Agent One: *grabs Blitzo by the collar* Yeah! *pulls an amused Blitzo closer* You are the ones at our mercy!

Lincoln: It's hard to resist, I'm really sorry. I mean, considering your approach so far, you've had us tied here for what, hours? And you haven't even had us confirm what exactly we are!

Agent Two: *leans down, curious* What are you?

Lincoln: *smug* I'm a Virgo.

Blitzo and Moxxie: HAH!

Agent One: Ohhhhh, a smart guy, eh?!

Agent Two: One more quip outta you and we'll shut you up!

Blitzo: Ooh, getting kinkyyyy!

Both agents recoil in shock and horror.

Agent One: WHAAAAT?! We aren't playin' into your vile demon kinks!

Blitzo: I mean, that's what it sounded like back there, you sickos!

Moxxie: *sarcastic* Please don't give them ideas, sir!

Blitzo: Why not? I know the shit you're into!

Moxxie gets an embarrassed look as Lincoln gives Blitzo a WTF look.

Agent One: Stooop! We are *leans towards Moxxie, pointing* NOT gettin' kinky wit youse!

Agent Two grabs Agent One and pulls him back.

Agent Two: Calm down, One! Don't let these monsters get to you!

The agents start to walk away.

Blitzo: Heyyyy, aren't we gonna get our phone call, bitch?

Agent One: Well, that entirely depends! Who are you gonna call? Hmmm?

Blitzo: Your fat mom, thankin' her for a fat time!

Agent Two: Nice try, demon! His fat mom is dead!

Agent One starts crying into his own arm. They don't notice Lincoln slowly using his claws to cut the rope.

---

Cut to the exterior of the D.H.O.R.K.S. building Blitzo and Moxxie are trapped inside of. Two guards armed with naginata stand outside the entrance. Four security cameras loom over their heads. Millie and Loona peek around the side of the building, looking for a way to sneak in.

Millie: This where they ended up?

Loona: I think so. Fuck, this looks intense. How are we gonna get in?

Millie sees a small vent over their heads and points at it,

Millie: Lift me up to that vent!

Loona raises her hand and Millie climbs up, opens the vent and crawls inside. She opens the side door from inside the building and lets Loona in. They sneak through the halls trying to find Moxxie and Blitzo, completely unaware that an unnamed D.H.O.R.K.S. guard can see them on the surveillance camera. The guard spits out his coffee in surprise-unintentionally soaking another guard-and sounds an alarm to alert the other guards of the trespassers.

Loona screeches to a halt. The camera zooms out, revealing a bunch of agents holding several Japanese melee weapons. An agent holding a naginata runs toward Loona and Millie and swings it at them. The girls duck, avoiding the blade. Loona jumps, swings the axe, chopping off an agent's leg while Millie shoots him twice with twin pistols. Loona throws the axe at another agent's face where it sticks. Millie climbs the agent's body and removes the ax from his head, jumps to avoid yet another guard's katana swing, then chops the katana-wielding agent in two vertically.

Loona runs into an agent with twin nunchaku and attempts to split kick him, but he avoids it. She then rolls back and jumps to avoid his strikes. An agent swings his kusarigama at Loona but Loona ducks low to the ground, allowing the nunchaku guy to be decapitated instead. Millie sneaks up to the now surprised kusarigama-wielding agent and snaps his neck, and as he falls to the floor face first Loona grabs Millie who then grabs the axe from the floor, running towards another set of three agents inside a large doorway.

Cut to said agents. One agent hits a button attempting to stop the girls by closing the blast door on them. The other two reveal their shuriken and proceed to throw them at the girls, though they miss entirely.

Millie: Throw me!

Loona throws Millie, grunting. Holding her axe in front of her, Millie flies toward the group of agents, landing with a roll just as the blast door labeled "CAUTION BLAST DANGER" closes behind her. Screams of agony can be heard as Millie slaughters them off-screen. The blast door opens back up to show Millie surrounded by dismembered corpses and blood splattered on the walls and ceiling.

Loona: *walks into the room, impressed* Damn! You're pretty agile for an old lady!

Millie: I'm, like, five years older than you.

---

Cut back to Blitzo, Moxxie, and Lincoln. Agent One yells at Blitzo while he responds by playfully sticking his tongue out at him.

Agent One: Stop insultin' my mother! She's dead!

Agent Two: Hey, hey. Let's just leave them here until they feel like talkin'.

The two agents exit the room, slamming the door behind them. Blitzo glances at the door just to be sure, then immediately tries to struggle in his bonds for a couple seconds before giving up.

Lincoln: *speaks low enough for only them to hear* Relax, Blitzo. I've already started cutting my ropes.

His claws have cut the ropes about 50 percent.

Blitzo: *grins* Nice. If we keep being obnoxious, they'll eventually slip up and we'll get a chance to get out. Let's just keep fuckin' with them until they get so frustrated, they stop thinkin' clearly. It usually works.

As Blitzo speaks, the camera zooms out until it is looking at a video feed of him, Lincoln and Moxxie, Blitzo's audio degrading to add to the effect. Agents One and Two watch them through the screen.

Agent One: Hmmm! So, the demons wanna play games, huh? Well, we can play games...

Agent Two chuckles and hits a button between "HAHA GAS" and "BITCH JUICE". As she lifts her fist away, the camera zooms in on the button, now glowing a bright green and is revealed to be labeled "TRUTH BOMB".

Agent Two: Heh! Yeaaah.

Cut back to Moxxie, Lincoln Blitzo. Blitzo is still struggling against the ropes to no avail.

Moxxie: I'm just worried about Millie. She'll be on her way by now, I'm sure!

Lincoln: Dad, just relax. It'd take an army of roided-up hippos to take her down when she's pissed off.

Moxxie: We've never dealt with the human government before! She's in danger!

As they speak, a green gas begins filling the room.

Blitzo: *suddenly angry* Do you ever honestly shut up about Millie?! It's always *mockingly imitates Moxxie* "Oh, how's Millie?" "I can't tonight. I'm hangin' with Millie!" "I'm so worried about Millie!" And she's ALWAYS... FIVE FUCKIN' FEET away from you! It's pathetic!

Lincoln and Moxxie are both stunned.

Moxxie: That... was oddly personal.

Lincoln: Yeah, no kidding.

Blitzo: *surprised* Y'know, you're right! I don't know why the fuck I just let my guts spill like that.

Lincoln glances at the floor and sees the green gas surrounding the three of them, eyes widening.

Lincoln: Uh-oh…

Moxxie: What?

Lincoln: These idiots are filling the room with some kind of gas!

Blitzo: Fuck! *sniffs* The hell is this?

Moxxie: I think it's some kind of airborne truth-telling serum!

Blitzo: Oh, you just guess that's what it is?

Moxxie: Well, uh... Just ask me something specific I wouldn't normally tell you.

Blitzo: Okay. Uh... Does Millie ever peg you?

Moxxie: *smiles at the thought* Sometimes~ *eyes widen in realization* Wait! EWW! Fuck! Why that?!

Blitzo: Heh! I knew it.

Lincoln: *glares at Blitzo* You disgusting, tacky suit wearing bastard! *flinches* Fuck! I'm sorry...

Blitzo: *gasps dramatically* How fuckin' dare you!

Moxxie: *shouts* Don't yell at my son!

Blitzo: Shut up, Moxxie! Youuu have shitty taste in music! *flinches in regret* AH, I'm sorry!

Moxxie: "Shit taste"?! *tears up* You said you liked that musical I recommended to you!

Blitzo: I lied! I left halfway through!

Moxxie: You... You said you loved it!

Blitzo: *in tears* It was awful, Moxxie! It was about ugly, horny caaaaats!

Lincoln: *thinking* This is a mess…

Moxxie starts crying hysterically. Once again, the scene zooms out into them being watched by Agents One and Two again.*

Blitzo: tears flowing Oh, God, Moxxie! I've said so many lies to you!

Agent Two: *chuckles* This is gonna be a gooood night!

View switches to a vent pumping more of the gas into the room. Cut to behind Lincoln's hands. His claws have cut through 95 percent of the rope, but the gas is making him woozy.

Lincoln: *woozy* Almost… done…

He suddenly faints as his head droops. Blitzo coughs and we switch to a POV shot. We watch as the room wobbles and distorts, changing into something else. He shakes his head and turns back to face Moxxie angrily.

Blitzo: Dammit, Moxxie! This is all your fault!

Moxxie: How is this my fault?!

A musical trill and the sound of wind are heard. Moxxie stands up, the ropes falling away from him, and he walks forwards into purple fog. As he walks into the fog, the art style subtly shifts into something more Disney-esque and Moxxie's outfit changes into something classically appropriate. Organ music begins to play as Moxxie looks around in confusion.

Moxxie: Blitzo? *coughs* I- I can't see you! God, this smells awful! What's that music? Is that you? Is this a prank? Because I swear to Satan-!

Moxxie's rant is interrupted by a figure behind him standing at an organ at the top of a staircase that slowly pans into view. The other figure appears to be Blitzo dressed similarly to Erik the Phantom from "The Phantom of the Opera". He is wearing a black cloak with a wide fringed collar as well as a mask over his right eye, turning it entirely red and imitates the white blotch normally seen on his face. The symbol on his forehead has also changed into a broken heart.

Blitzo: *speaking in a deeper octave than normal* IT IS NO PRANK, BITCH!

Moxxie: Heyyyyyy! Why do you sound like that?

Blitzo (hallucination): Because YOU, my precious little bitch boy-

Moxxie: Stop it, sir!

Blitzo (hallucination): -are tripping *echoing* BAAAAALLLLS!

The shiny organ pipes act as a spotlight and points at Moxxie, who flinches. He then grabs a candelabra and ascends the stairs, beginning to talk-sing.

Moxxie: No! What?! How could this be?
I've never tried acid, shrooms, or DMT!
It's a bad trip! Oy, gevalt!
Of course, Blitzo, this would be your fault!

Cuts to a close up on hallucination Blitzo's gloved fingers as he plays the organ. The camera goes back to Moxxie, who starts singing normally.

Moxxie: My lungs are full of honesty
Would you promise me that you won't judge?

Blitzo (hallucination): Yes, biiitch! *dramatically plays his organ*

Moxxie: Not trying to divulge too much,
But, I'm in too deep. So, first of all:

He points accusingly at hallucination Blitzo.

Moxxie: FUCK YOU!

Blitzo (hallucination): Whaaaat?!

Moxxie: *talk-singing* This is just typical!
Well, two can play at this game of dismay!
'Cause if you're here, causing frustration,
I'm torturing you in your hallucination!

---

Moxxie's coattails transition the scene to inside Blitzo's hallucination, where he finds himself sitting on a chair in a strange, formless wasteland made of ink. Stalactites made of ink drip in the foreground. Blitzo's art style has shifted to be similar to early animation, presumably rubber hose. He is also now wearing a clown outfit and the symbol on his forehead, as in Moxxie's hallucination, is now a broken heart. Four globs of ink in pink, black, brown and red float around him in swirling motions.

Blitzo stands up, almost falling over backwards from the softer terrain. The red glob becomes a six-eyed monster and screeches at Blitzo, dripping a bunch inky sludge on him. He looks at his hands, now coated in the red ink. He sniffs and licks at it before the ink monster comes up behind him screaming. Frightened, Blitzo stumbles and falls backward into the black ink ground. The ink monster lands and morphs into a version of Moxxie drawn a la the plan segment from "Spring Broken" that speaks in a British accent with old-timey audio quality. All the while, gloomy rock music plays in the background.

Moxxie (doodle): I simply follow your orders! It isn't my fault that your orders are as nonsensical as a sun tanning bed left out on the cold, rainy porch of a fresh April shower!

Blitzo: Why are you talking like that? What the fuck does that even mean?!

The doodle Moxxie begins shifting between doodle and real Moxxie, his audio changing back and forth accordingly.

Moxxie (doodle): I am simply speaking Satan's plain English! Perhaps you should crack open a dictionary some time! And then maybe you can understand half of the frivolous things I carry on and on about on my many rants about-

The music gets louder while being accompanied by a high-pitched tone, drowning out doodle Moxxie's words. The camera zooms out as Blitzo looks up at the three other ink glob creatures circling around them.

Blitzo: *to doodle Moxxie* SHUT UP!

---

Cut to Lincoln as he wakes up. As he groggily stands up, he finds the chair he was on is now a large crystal. He looks around and sees he's in a whole cave of dim crystals, each one reflecting him. Even the floor was made of crystals. He looks around in confusion as he starts walking in one direction, when…

Female Voice: *off-screen, whispering* Lincoln…

Lincoln's ears perk up as he turns around and follows the direction from where the voice came from. He finds himself in a ring of 12 large crystals, and as he steps in the center of the ring, the crystal floor under his feet faintly glows orange.

Lincoln: *surprised* The fuck…?

As he stares at the floor and backs up a bit, he bumps into one of the crystals surrounding him. He turns around and looks up at it… but instead of reflecting him, it was showing Lynn. As if things couldn't get any weirder, the crystal displaying Lynn lights up red as she looks down at Lincoln with a grin.

Lynn: Hey, Linc!

Lincoln lets out a startled yelp as he staggers back. Behind him, another crystal lights up a light blue color and displays Lori, causing him to look.

Lori: Jeez, literally no need to be so jumpy, Lincoln.

Lincoln: *shocked* Wh-What… what's happening?

Another crystal lights up a teal green color as Leni appears in it.

Leni: *smiles and waves* Hey, Lincoln!

Another crystal lights up purple as Ronnie Anne appears in it, and the one next to hers lights up a dark green and her brother Bobby appears in it.

Ronnie Anne: What up, Lame-O?

Bobby: Hey, bro!

Lana: *off-screen* Get out, bitch!

Lola: *off-screen* I was here first, bitch!

Lincoln turns and sees another crystal lit up half murky green and half pink, with Lana and Lola in their respective colors trying to push each other out. Lana gets the upper hand and pushes Lola out, causing the crystal to turn an entire murky green, while the crystal next to her turns pink and Lola appears in it.

Lola: *growls as she stands up in her new crystal* Fuck you. *Lana smirks and flips her off*

Lucy: *appears in a crystal that turns black* Both of you calm the fuck down. Your bickering is annoying.

A female Hellhound, about 20 years old appears, in a crystal that lights up purple. Her outfit and demeanor just screamed rock-n-roll, and she had dark brown fur and hair with dyed purple streaks, the tip of her tail also dyed purple. Her eyes were also purple instead of the standard red.

Luna: Luce's right, dudes. Linc needs to get the gist of what's goin' on.

Another female Hellhound, about 19-years old with light brown fur and hair in a ponytail and yellow eyes instead of the standard red, appears in another crystal as it turns yellow. She had a grin on her face like she just told a funny as hell joke.

Luan: Luna's right! We need to make things "crystal" clear for him!

The other Hellhounds groan as she laughs. Lisa appears in one of the last two empty crystals as it lights up green.

Lisa: *sarcastic* Very funny, Luan. Very funny.

In the last crystal, a male Hellhound the same age as Lincoln with brown fur and black curly hair, as well as blue eyes under black rimmed glasses, appears as the crystal turns blue.

Clyde: Phew, sorry I'm late.

Bobby: No sweat, Clyde. We were just about to start telling Lincoln.

Lincoln: Telling me what?

Lori: Well, let's get the obvious question out of the way. You literally are not tripping like your father and boss are. You're just unconscious.

Lincoln: So this is like a dream or some shit?

Lisa: Not exactly. This is more like you standing in your own mindscape, and everything here is real. Also, my name is Lisa, *points to the Hellhounds that Lincoln doesn't know* and that is Luna, Luan, and Clyde.

The three of them wave (Luna throws up the sign of horns) at Lincoln.

Lincoln: Then… how the fuck are you guys here if this isn't an acid trip or a dream?

Ronnie Anne: It's a mental link all the Zodiac Hellhounds have.

Lincoln: … The what now?

Lynn: Lincoln… what we're about to tell you is gonna change everything you know.

Cut back to Moxxie's hallucination.

Moxxie: Why do you hurt me so?

Blitzo (hallucination): I knoooow!

Moxxie: Why must you push your friends away?

Blitzo (hallucination): *harmonizes* I push my friends awaaaaay

Both begin talk-singing.

Moxxie: Why does it seem like a recurring theme
That you alienate with your toxic routine?

Blitzo (hallucination): I don't know!
Eventually, everyone goes!

Moxxie: Cause you're thoughtless and cruel,
And you'll end up alone!

Cut to a close-up of the hallucination Blitzo's mask covered eye looking back at Moxxie, seemingly shocked by Moxxie's accusations.

---

Cut back to Blitzo's hallucination again. He is now standing motionless while the remaining ink creatures swirl and drip in the air above him.

Moxxie (doodle): *off-screen* Admit it, my dear boss; you don't know what you are doing half the time... and you depend on me and the missus to manage your foolish flights of fancy!

Blitzo: I don't need you! I can do this shit on my own SO easily!

The brown ink creature grabs him by the neck and throws him on the ground. It then morphs into Striker, who speaks with Blitzo's voice in a Southern drawl.

Striker (hallucination): But, ya don't wanna do things alone, Blitzo!

More brown sludge grabs Blitzo and tosses him up into the air, then the grey ink creature morphs into a rubber hose version of Fizzarolli, who also has his voice.

Fizzarolli (hallucination): You tried the solo act, it didn't work out so well! *distorted laugh*

Hallucination Fizz winds him up and throws him to the ground. Blitzo coughs as the pink ink creature lands on the ground, morphing into a hallucination of Verosika Mayday and taunting Blitzo in his voice as well while crawling towards him seductively.

Verosika (hallucination): Yet you still shove away anyone who gets too close until they *voice gradually becomes warped and distorted* resent you for being a selfish, shitty, shit fuck!

Blitzo sees a staircase forming from the ink behind him. He pulls hallucination Verosika's hands away from his face and scrambles to it. The stairs transform into pristine white stairs with golden railings. Blitzo runs up the ink-covered stairs as shiny, glowing white feathers fall onto the stairs and dissolve the ink away. Blitzo trips on some residual ink and looks up, seeing Stolas sitting on a throne at the top the stairs getting fanned by two Blitzo silhouettes.

Stolas (hallucination): *voice-over* Are you afraid to love people, Blitzy?

The fans flap and transition into a close-up of Stolas, who grins at Blitzo. Blitzo begins to climb the stairs on his hands and knees. Two of the glowing feathers fly onto his wrists and turn into golden shackles, while his clown costume turns into his normal suit with a flash of light.

Moxxie (hallucination): I believe your subconscious is trying to tell you that you simply cannot fathom proper intimacy, but... also crave it as well. It's rather unfortunate, sir, considering it's often how you treat those who stand by you... such as myself.

As hallucination doodle Moxxie is talking, Blitzo is almost to the top when another feather slaps onto his throat, turning into a golden shackle attached to golden chains while also cleaning the ink off his face and returning him fully to his normal art style. Stolas pulls on the chains, pulling Blitzo close to him and grinning mischievously. Cuts to the bottom of the stairs where the Striker, Fizz and Verosika hallucinations are gathered around doodle Moxxie as he monologues. They then turn back into inky sludge again and flu off. Doodle Moxxie then turns into a semi-normal Moxxie, looking quite feminine while wearing a purple dress and holding a fan in one hand. His audio quality also returns to normal.

Moxxie (hallucination): Are you worried I may have enough of it one day as well?

Blitzo: STOP... FUCKING TALKING, ALL OF YOU!

Hallucination Moxxie gets angry and closes his fan as he dissolves into gold dust and blows away.

---

Cut back to Lincoln's mindscape, where Lincoln is standing in the center of the Zodiac Hounds in the crystals.

Lisa: You see, Lincoln, there is one hierarchy in Hell that is not talked about publicly. It's well known but never talked about because it was incomplete until now. The Zodiac Hellhounds.

Lori: They're a group of thirteen Hellhounds that are chosen at birth to be granted extraordinary power and latent potential to rival the Sins themselves.

Lincoln: Thirteen Hellhounds… So you're saying… *looks around at the entire ring* … we're all the Zodiac Hellhounds?

Luna: Hit the nail on the head, dude!

Lynn: Damn right!

Lincoln: Then which Zodiac am I?

Lola: You said it yourself.

One of the larger crystal walls displays Lincoln talking to Agent Two earlier.

Agent Two (memory): *leans down, curious* What are you?

Lincoln (memory): *smug* I'm a Virgo.

Blitzo and Moxxie (memory): HAH!

Lincoln: … I was only saying that to those dumbass agents as a joke, I didn't expect it to be legit.

Lisa: I'm sure you're also aware of the… Hellhound Bloodlust?

Lincoln looks towards one of the crystal walls, which was now displaying him in his Hellhound Bloodlust viciously murdering Spade's whole mafia, then him fighting Striker, then mindlessly fighting off his friends until Octavia calms him down. Lincoln grimaces at seeing him as a mindless beast.

Lincoln: … Yeah… I'm aware of it.

Lucy: It's capable of turning even the purest Hellhound into a mindless monster, only capable of being calmed down after exhausting themselves.

Lincoln: What does this have to do with the Zodiac Hellhounds?

Leni: Because we're like, the ones that are capable of easily controlling it.

Lincoln: *surprised, but skeptical* … I had absolutely NO control the three times I used it, so I'm not sure if I believe that.

Bobby: Well, that's because you haven't had a catalyst that allows you to regain control while retaining the power. It just disappears after you regain control.

Lincoln: So… you guys all have control?

Zodiac Hellhounds: Yep./Oh yeah./Totally!

Clyde: And we're gonna help you gain control, Lincoln.

Cut back to the D.H.O.R.K.S. interrogation room where Blitzo and Moxxie are drooling, locked in their respective trips, and Lincoln is just knocked unconscious. Agents One and Two look at them from behind the glass, drinking soda and eating popcorn.

Cuts back to Blitzo's hallucination, where Stolas turns into gold dust and blows away. His throne and its feathered surroundings also meet the same fate. The unseen hallucinations begin taunting Blitzo.

Stolas: *sing-song* You're going to die aloooo-one!

Fizzarolli (hallucination): You're gonna die alone, Blitzo! laughs

In the sky above, all of the ink creatures swirl together. The gold dust that was once Stolas and his throne ascend and join the multicolored vortex above. Blitzo is surrounded by a tornado of golden feathers, which surround and stick to him. The hallucinations keep repeating, "You're gonna die alone, Blitzo!". Blitzo is covered in feathers until his arms are bound together and his mouth is covered. He opens his mouth in a silent scream, tearing the feathers away.

---

Cut back to Moxxie's hallucination.

Blitzo (hallucination): Whyyyyyy, Moxxie, whyyyyyy,
Have you held your true feelings insiiiiiide?

Moxxie: *sets candelabra down on a table* I am scared of rejectioooooon

Blitzo (hallucination): Whyyyyyy, Moxxie, whyyyyyy,
Do you have Millie put it in your buuuuuutt?

Moxxie: It gives me an erectio- Heyyyy!

Blitzo (hallucination): Noooooo need to hiiiiide
We accept your true feelings, so promise meeeeee

Moxxie: That I can dooooo *begins walking towards the stairs*

Both: *harmonizing* To be truuuuue

Blitzo (hallucination): The world is your anus, so peg it with honesty

Moxxie: Ohhhh...

Moxxie walks up to hallucination Blitzo and joins him in playing the organ.

Blitzo (hallucination): I've been a jackass, it's truuuuuue

Moxxie: You've been a jackass, it's truuuuuue

Blitzo (hallucination): But soon as we're back as ourseeeeelves...

Both: *harmonizing* I will be a better friend
Than I was before

Moxxie: Be better at speaking my miiind, aaaaand...

Both: *harmonizing* Togetheeeeer
We can begin to become...
Fiiine

The two hallucinations finally end as Moxxie and hallucination Blitzo smile at each other.

Cut back to Lincoln's mindscape as he clenches his fists, then turns and starts walking towards the edge of the circle of crystals.

Ronnie Anne: *notices* Hey, where are you going, Lame-O?

Lincoln: *looks back* As much as I appreciate the help, I have bigger things to worry about now. My dad and Blitzo are still tripping, so I probably need to wake up soon.

Lynn: *as Lincoln starts walking again* Well, suit yourself. Just know, once you control the Bloodlust, you don't need to live a life of-

Bounty Hunter: *steps out of the shadows before Lincoln, sickles drawn* Fear.

Lincoln: *backs up in shock* You?!

Bounty Hunter: *stops next to Leni's crystal* I do LOVE the smell of fear. *sniffs the air in content* It's intoxicating.

Leni: *confused* It is?

The bounty hunter slams his sickle into Leni's crystal and shatters it, cutting her from the mental link as the crystal stops glowing.

Bounty Hunter: *walks to the next crystals, which are Luna and Lisa's* Sorry to crash the party with your fellow Zodiacs, but… *chuckles menacingly as he twirls his sickles* … I'd prefer we talk alone.

He shatters the two crystals before they can say anything.

Luan: Jeez, way to "shatter" my expectations! *laughs* Get i-?! *her crystal gets shattered next*

Bounty Hunter: *walking around the ring of crystals* You claim you don't have any idea why I'm hunting you, kid… And I'll admit, you're right on that. *shatters Lori and Bobby's crystals as he walks by them, then stops and looks at Lincoln* But the truth is… I've been watching you since the beginning. Every day, every minute, every second…

He then lifts one of his sickles, showing some claw marks etched in it.

Bounty Hunter: … and every single death that took place in your life. Whether one of your victims or even… your parents, I was there to witness all of them.

Lincoln stares with wide eyes as the bounty hunter runs his finger from mark to mark, seeing the marks of Spade's mafia, Martha and her family, the victims from spring break… and his birth parents.

Bounty Hunter: Each. Frivolous. End. *suddenly disappears in the shadows* But you… didn't even notice me. *appears between Lana and Lola's crystals* Because, "Wrath's Hellhound LAUGHS in the face of death", right?

He swings his sickles and shatters both crystals, then approaches Lynn's and puts his hand on it.

Bounty Hunter: But you're not laughing now. *pushes Lynn's crystal over and shatters it*

As Lincoln stands there, shaking in fear, a horrifying realization hits. It finally all made sense why this bounty hunter kept showing up the way he did.

Lincoln: You're no bounty hunter… *eyes widen in dread* You are…!

Death: *behind Lucy's crystal as it cracks* DEATH!

The cracks in Lucy's crystal form a skull over the wolf's face before the crystal shatters. Lincoln staggers back, the fur on his neck and arms standing up.

Death: *slowly walks towards Lincoln* And I don't mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or poetically, or theoretically, or in any other fancy way. I'm Death. Straight. Up. And I've come for you, Lincoln. *brandishes his sickle*

Lincoln: *shaking and stuttering* B-But… I-I'm still alive!

Death: *chuckles* Y'know… as much as I love the smell of fear, I'm not a fan of people like you. *rests his sickles on his shoulders* The kind of people who always live in fear because of their past instead of moving forward… It's absurd! *points one of his sickles at Lincoln* And YOU are the worst example, considering you keep fearing the same fates that befell your birth parents will happen to your current family. *lowers his sickle* So, why don't I do us both a favor and end your fears… by ending your life?

Clyde: Y-You can't do that!

Death: *tosses a sickle at Clyde's crystal, cracking it as he holds a finger to his lips* Shhhh, don't tell! *Clyde's crystal shatters*

Ronnie Anne: LAME-O, RUN! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!

Ronnie Anne's crystal shatters from a sickle getting thrown into it, as Lincoln finally works up the courage to make a run for it through the cave of crystals.

Death: *calls out* Go ahead! Run for it! Makes it more fun for me. *bolts after Lincoln with a growl*

---

Cut back to the D.H.O.R.K.S. interrogation room, where the unconscious Lincoln starts to sweat and grits his teeth in fear.

Cut back to Lincoln's mindscape as he runs through a narrow hall of crystals that start changing red, with Death's face appearing in each one as he laughs menacingly. Lincoln sees an exit and makes a mad dash for it… when Death roars and manages to grab the back of his vest.

As a ripping sound was heard, it snaps back to the D.H.O.R.K.S. interrogation room as Lincoln snaps awake with a gasp, panting heavily. Now that their respective trips have worn off, Blitzo and Moxxie wake up, having also heard Lincoln's gasp. Blitzo glances up to see that the truth gas is no longer being pumped into the room.

Moxxie: *concerned as he sees Lincoln having a panic attack* Lincoln?! Lincoln, hey!

Blitzo: *looks at Lincoln, concerned* Aw fuck… Lincoln, c'mon kid, deep breathes.

Lincoln's breathing starts to slow, and his fur begins to loosen up. Sure enough, his panic attack goes away and his head drops as he lets out a long, weary groan.

Moxxie: *worried* You okay, Lincoln?

Lincoln: I'm... *lifts his head up and glances at Moxxie* ...fine, Dad…

Blitzo: *worried* A nightmare cause your panic attack, kid...?

Lincoln looks down at his feet, hesitant to say anything... until he finally speaks up.

Lincoln: *quietly* ... Death is after me...

There was a beat of silence as the two Imps looked shocked.

Blitzo: *a bit skeptical* Okay, did that gas screw your head up? Cause I thought you said that De-

Lincoln: *cuts Blitzo off, angrily* I'm not kidding, Blitzo! *tears form in his eyes* The fucking physical embodiment of death is HUNTING ME DOWN AS OF THIS VERY DAMN MOMENT!

He turns away from a stunned Blitzo as he tries to calm himself, his tears running down his face.

Lincoln: *voice breaking* He's after me because I keep living in the past... afraid that I'm gonna lose the people I love like I lost my birth parents on that day... Mom, Dad, Via, Stolas... even you and Loona... I'm afraid I'll lose you all, and that bastard Death is after me because of it!

He drops his head, crying softly as Moxxie glances at his adopted son with loads of pity. Blitzo does the same for a moment, but his face then twists into a stoic frown.

Blitzo: ...So what? *Lincoln glances at Blitzo* Lincoln, I've lost enough shit in life that I could've just gone to a damn grave and cry my life out. Am I doing that now?

Lincoln: *sniffles* ...No-

Blitzo: *cuts him off* Exactly. To make up for whatever shit I've lost in the past, I go all out in the present, keeping what's close to me alive and kickin'. That's what I do, and that's what you sure as hell should do.

Lincoln was stunned by Blitzo's words, and so was Moxxie. They had never known that Blitzo had lost something before, except for the few times he mentioned his former job at Loo Loo Land or when they found out he used to date Verosika.

Blitzo: So when you see Death again, you better shove all that fucking fear into your gut and use that damn love of what's close to you to kick his ass! Get me?!

Lincoln stares at Blitzo in a stunned silence, but then smiles.

Lincoln: Okay... thanks, Blitzo.

Blitzo: *smiles* Now, you think you can get back to what you were doing?

He gestures to the rope Lincoln was cutting. The Hellhound nods and gets back to work.

---

Cut back to Millie and Loona walking up to a three-by-four 12-digit keypad. Millie walks closer and sees that the 1 button is the only one that shows any wear, while the other buttons are untouched.

Millie: Try 1.

Loona presses 1 five times. The door slides open, revealing a reception desk. The girls look at each other in affirmation and run inside. Millie vaults over the desk as the door slams shut behind them.

---

Cut back to the room with Lincoln, Moxxie and Blitzo. Lincoln has almost finished cutting his ropes, and all three are silent for a moment.

Moxxie: Sir, do you remember what you said to me after my first day with the company?

Blitzo: ...Not really.

Moxxie: I remember. You told me I did a good job and that you were proud to work with me. I feel like you wanted to say something more judgmental, but... you said that because I needed it... And it helped.

Blitzo: Look, I'm hard on you, because I know what you're capable of, Mox. You care too much about what everyone thinks except for... me, because, y'know, my opinion is correct, *Lincoln rolls his eyes at this* but just... keep doing a good job. 'Kay? You shoot 'n kill good, you escape things easy... you can be strategic and cold-blooded when you need to, aaaand don't expect any more compliments; I'm maxed out.

Moxxie: Thank you, sir.

Blitzo: You know my name... Use it.

Moxxie: Thanks, Blitzo.

As Lincoln finally snaps his ropes off, he, Blitzo and Moxxie suddenly look up as they hear a muffled pounding coming from the ceiling. Millie crashes through the ceiling, landing with a superhero pose.

Moxxie: *excited* THERE'S my Millie!

Lincoln: *excited* Mom!

Millie runs over to the three and begins to untie the rest of their binds.

Blitzo: Impressive work, Mills! How'd you get here all by yourself?

Millie, Moxxie and Lincoln have a tender reunion but are rudely interrupted when Loona smashes through the one-way window using Agent Two as a makeshift battering ram.

Blitzo: LOONIE?!

Loona: Get your asses out here before MORE FUCKERS SHOW UP!

Loona throws Agent Two at Agent One as he stands behind her in shock. She crouches, wolf ears sprouting from her head, and leaps, having instantly reverted to her Hellhound form as she lands. A wolf howl sound effect plays as she lands. She drops her backpack and Blitzo and Moxxie grin maniacally at each other. Moxxie pulls out twin submachine guns while Blitzo brandishes his trusty flintlock pistol, flicking the hammer. Lincoln pulls out a black and orange pair of spiked knuckles. Agent One weakly presses a button, setting off an alarm. The I.M.P group turn as a few disposable mooks drop from the ceiling holding Japanese weapons, before even more cartoonishly slide in from the sides and encircle them. The I.M.P. group hold fighting poses, ready for a smackdown.

Blitzo: Ooookay, I've had one too many emotions for today! Guys... *turns to Moxxie and Lincoln* Let's fuck these fuckers up!

Moxxie and Lincoln give evil, toothy smiles and nod. A fluid fight scene starts as one agent attempts to strike Blitzo with the sickle end of his kusarigama, only for Loona to catch it in her mouth and yank hard, throwing the wielder across the room to hit an agent with a katana. A female agent attempts multiple strikes at Loona with her naginata, but Loona deftly dodges and, with the kusarigama sickle still in her mouth, stabs the agent through the throat. She releases the kusarigama and grabs the chain in her hands while running, wrapping it around another agent's neck and yanking hard enough to decapitate both him and the agent with the sickle end in her throat, sending both their heads flying.

As the two agents' severed heads fly, Millie jumps and twirls in the air with her axe and goes for an agent wielding a katana. He tries to block but is unsuccessful as the axe easily breaks through his sword and he is cleaved in half, splattering blood and brain matter around her. Millie sees an agent with a two-handed sword running toward her, so she runs up to him and dismembers him in two quick swings. She uses her axe to deflect incoming shuriken and swings at their thrower, but he backflips away as another agent with a sword runs at her. She jumps and flips in the air and lands with a pose, then briefly clashes with the sword-wielding agent before taking off his entire lower half. The shuriken thrower makes a second attempt, but he is easily cut down. She then happily runs off while spinning her axe as the agent she dismembered earlier is seen helplessly flailing his bleeding stumps.

Lincoln: *grinning sadistically at the agents surrounding him* I've been waiting all day for this!

Digging his claws into the ground, Lincoln rushes forward and severs a few of their heads right off with a dual claw slash. Scaling upward while dodging bullet fire from agents wielding some uzis, Lincoln spirals downward from the ceiling and while skidding on a knee, thrusts out his fists, the knuckle spikes piercing through the chests of some agents before sending off a deadly shockwave that blasts the bodies of some other agents around them into gorey pieces. Slowing to a stop, he stands up as many more agents quickly surround him, brandishing out their weapons. Lincoln simply smirked before going into a handstand with both hands and extended the claws from his feet before beginning to spin his body and legs around violently, transforming him into a deadly Hellhound blender that ripped the agents to bloody shreds.

Cut to a dolly arc shot of Moxxie and Blitzo firing on a multitude of agents coming their way. Blitzo discards his flintlock pistol and reaches for the backpack.

Blitzo: Mox! Cover me!

Moxxie: Yes, sir!

Moxxie unloads his submachine guns in a wide arc, before disposing of them as Blitzo hands him two golden revolvers that he uses to great effect. Blitzo, meanwhile, pulls out a vicious-looking knife and runs off, stabbing one agent to death while decapitating another.

Blitzo: EAT! MY! ASS!

Blitzo pulls out his phone and takes a selfie with the agent's severed head before throwing the head to the ground. Moxxie fires his revolvers until they're spent, then he viciously beats one agent to death with the butt of one before discarding them. Blitzo picks up a demonic pump-action shotgun, fires off a shot, then hands it to Moxxie, who blasts two more agents with it. Blitzo shoulders the backpack so it sits on his chest. He and Moxxie turn to each other and nod before running in opposite directions, Moxxie making a demonic hiss as he does.

Quick pan over to Loona as Blitzo joins her. He slithers up into her hair and shoots an agent with a crossbow. One agent swings at her with a sword but she counters with a roundhouse kick to the face. As Blitzo jumps away, Loona turns and delivers a powerful uppercut to the jaw of another sword-wielding agent, sending him into the air. An agent with twin sai comes at her and she crouches down before leaping towards him, biting down so his entire head is in her mouth. She briefly shakes him back and forth before throwing him and grabbing another agent by the face, slamming him to the floor. Blitzo hands her an energy rifle of some sort, which she fires at a few agents.

Loona: DIE, MOTHERFUCKERS! *looks down at Blitzo* What?

Blitzo: I am just so damn proud of you, Loonie! *hugs Loona's face and kisses her cheek* Bye, sweetie!

Blitzo slithers off of Loona, who growls angrily at his affection. She then bites down on another agent's head and throws him.

Quick pan back to Blitzo. An agent carrying nunchaku runs at him but is blindsided and knocked away by the agent Loona just threw.

Loona: *to Blitzo, off-screen* Watch out!

Blitzo turns to see Millie cut down two more agents with her axe and twirl it with a flourish.

Blitzo: Hey, Mills!

Millie: Hey, Blitz! Just one sec!

Millie jumps and swings, decapitating one agent. She cuts a leg off of a female agent holding sai, relieves a male sai-wielding agent of his lower torso, then twirls her axe to completely eviscerate an agent holding a straight sword and poses. Blitzo appears to the side with the backpack still strapped to his chest and offers Millie a pump-action shotgun.

Blitzo: Do you need a gun or anything?

Millie: Nah, I'm good!

Millie spins to the side, taking off the lower legs of a female agent with kusarigama then eviscerating her. She swings her axe as leverage for a leap onto another female agent, wrapping her legs around her neck and decapitating at least two more agents with the axe. Millie severs the leg of the agent she's held onto, who then collapses before Millie begins strangling her with her thighs. Blitzo appears to the side again, this time offering a bottle of water.

Blitzo: How about some water?

Millie: Sure!

Blitzo squeezes the bottle, squirting its contents into her open mouth.

Millie: Ahhh. *snaps the agent's neck* Thanks, Blitz!

Blitzo: *throws the bottle away* No problemy, Millie-Billie!

As Millie runs off to murder even more agents, pan to Lincoln as his fist slams through one agent's skull, blood splattering everywhere. Lincoln hurls the body at more charging agents. Moxxie rolls into frame as Lincoln picks him up and has him stand on his shoulders. Lincoln reveals his claws as Moxxie shoots down two agents, before Lincoln grabs the two bodies and slams them into incoming agents like pillow sacks. Moxxie leaps off Lincoln's shoulders and shoots one right through the eye, and Lincoln pounces on one that was about to stab Moxxie with a katana. He bites out their neck and spits the chunk of flesh into another charging agent's mouth, causing them to choke on it. Lincoln grabs their head and breaks their neck, before ripping their head off and hurling it like a fastball, hitting one female agent so hard, the head takes the place of her heart and lungs, which are launched out of her back.

Blitzo: Ooh-hoo! Way to be brutal, Linc!

Lincoln: *grinning* It's my specialty!

He grabs an agent that was trying to sneak attack him by the face and slams it into the wall, before running and violently dragging his face along the wall and leaving a streak of blood and face chunks. Blitzo pulls out a submachine gun and a shotgun. Cuts to a close-up of him with a sadistic smile and lightly glowing eyes.

Blitzo: Now, who wants some quality time with Daddy?

The camera zooms out to reveal more agents ready to kill. Blitzo spins his guns, runs at an agent with sai and leaps on him, firing at five agents with his shotgun before blasting the one he's grabbed onto. He leaps off and frontflips, killing two agents with the submachine gun. Once he lands, he pulls a spiked baseball bat out of the backpack strapped to his chest, trips an agent with it, then beats him in the stomach with it. He pulls a grenade out of the backpack and uses the bat to hit it away into a group of hapless agents.

Blitzo: FOOOORE!

The grenade explodes. Cuts to Agents One and Two attempting to flee the building. Blitzo's grenade explodes, and they duck and cover their heads in fear. They then see the corpse of an agent hit the floor, a femur sticking out where his leg should be and his katana falling down and impaling him in the chest.

Agent One: Good God, Why are we only usin' weapons from Japan's Edo Period?!

Agent Two: *grabs Agent One by his suit* Hey! The Edo period was badass, and you know it!

Agent One: Dammit, you're right.

Agent Two: LOOK OOOOUT!

Agent Two pulls Agent One down to the floor with her as Loona turns around firing her energy rifle at more agents. She fires at agents offscreen as Agents One and Two pull themselves along the floor towards the exit. They are stopped by an agent's freshly severed head landing in front of them, courtesy of Millie. An agent with twin nunchaku runs at her only for limbs and blood to spatter, one nunchaku-wielding arm comically flying up to the ceiling like a helicopter before falling to the floor. The agents turn and pull themselves another way as Loona shakes an agent back and forth in her mouth.

Lincoln rushes forward while spinning his arms around in a helicopter-esque fashion to slash many agents in front of him rapidly, turning them all into bloodied, sliced up body parts. One agent comes running towards him while drawing back a claymore, but Lincoln carves open her chest with his claws, leaving her heart and lungs exposed. He then pounces on his victim, ripping her throat open before tearing out her heart and crushing it in his jaws. Cuts to Moxxie standing on a pile of agents, blasting agent after agent with his shotgun and screaming bloody murder. He flips one agent into the air with his tail, causing him to spin, then he blasts him away. More agents run at him, only for Moxxie to flll them with buckshot.

Moxxie: Biiitches!

Blitzo: suddenly appears next to Moxxie Hey, Mox!

Startled, Moxxie drops his shotgun and it lands on its buttstock, accidentally going off but hitting an agent in the crotch. The unfortunate agent weakly reaches a hand up at Moxxie.

Blitzo: Ohhh, wow. Really goin' for the dick there, ain't'cha?

Agent: *weakly* Help...

Blitzo: Here, I got it for ya.

Blitzo takes out the knife he used earlier and stabs the agent.

Blitzo: Now, hold this.

Blitzo places the backpack in Moxxie's arms and pulls from it a comically oversized rocket launcher appropriately named "MY DICK".

Blitzo: Oh, yeah! I'm gettin' hard holdin' this motherfucker!

Blitzo fires a rocket labeled "PUSSY DESTROYER" and gives an evil laugh. The rocket flies toward a group of agents on the other side of the broken window and explodes, causing both Millie and Loona to flinch away from the flames while Lincoln doesn't even flinch from it. Millie's axe is also blown out of her hands by the blast. Moxxie then comes into view.

Moxxie: Oh, crumbs! Is everyone okay?

Lincoln: *grins* A-OK, Dad.

Blitzo jumps on Moxxie.

Blitzo: WOOOOOO! How's THAT for demon scum?!

Cut to the broken window. Blood is dripping from the few shards left in the frame. Pans over to Agents One and Two hiding under a desk. Agent Two nods at Agent One, signaling him to hit a red button next to him aptly labeled '"RED BUTTON". This sets off an alarm and causes the entire screen to be tinted red.

Blitzo: Oh, shit! C'mon, fam! Let's blow this cocksicle joint!

Lincoln: Say no more!

Blitzo and Loona run for the exit. Millie and Lincoln hoist Moxxie off the ground and they join the rest of the group.

Loona: HEY!

Before they can leave, the doors close in front of them. A set of iron bars lowers in front of the doors, then a garage door closes further down, then a large steel door clamps down, lasers activate outside of it, and bathroom doors close outside of that, the vacancy indicator switching to "Occupied".

Subtle fade back to the I.M.P. gang as they beat against the door.

Lincoln: AH, FUCK! *starts ramming the door with his shoulder*

Moxxie: *to Loona* Quick! The book!

Loona pulls Stolas' Grimoire out of the backpack and attempts to read it.

Loona: Shhhit! I can't... I can't read the spell in this light! I can't see dick! *looks around worried as Lincoln gives up ramming the door*

Blitzo searches himself for more weapons but comes out empty-handed.

Blitzo: Well, shit. Looks like we've milked this weapon tit dry, and now we're out of badassery.

Lincoln: *growls* Well, that's just fuckin' great...

The silhouettes of Agents One and Two slide menacingly into view.

Agent Two: Ha! You demons aren't goin' anywhere now! Haaa!

Before the two agents can do anything, they begin noticing strange happenings around them. The I.M.P. gang's shadows growl and morph into meld into two hideous beasts. Two screens suddenly turn on and flicker, rattling around aggressively before turning off, showing the agents' reflections. In the left screen was also a red four-eyed silhouette, and in the right screen was a pink two-eyed silhouette. The agents are startled as the screen breaks off of the wall and falls at their feet and slides away. Two more screens then break off of the wall while the rest shudder and display static.

Stolas: *from the shadows* Who daaares threaten... my impish little plaything...

Octavia: *from the shadows* ... and my little Hellhound?

Agent One: Who said that?!

The agents look at the floor, where two sets of bird-like footprints appear coming towards them. Another monitor bashes Agent One in the face, removing his shades and knocking him to the floor. He turns to look at Agent Two.

Agent One: Agent Two?

Cuts to Agent Two. Her head is spasming, her eyes (the left now red and the right now pink) wide and mouth slack in shock and horror. Around her dead bodies stand up, eyes completely black and empty. Agent Two tries to stop her head spasming with her hands but fails. The black-eyed bodies kneel. Agent One stands back up, his shades returned to his face, and attempts to approach Agent Two. She removes her own shades and her head twists around "The Exorcist" style to look at Agent One. She now has sharp teeth, bloodshot eyes, and her mascara has formed sharp streaks down her cheeks.

Agent Two: *speaking in Octavia's voice* What's the matter, demon hunter? *now in Stolas' voice* Never seen a REAL demon before?

The dead bodies draw Stolas and Octavia's summoning circles around Agent Two in their own blood, which is now dripping from their eyes and mouths. She chuckles maliciously, eye twitching and nose bleeding. Agent One looks on in terror as Agent Two's head whips back to its normal orientation. Her eyes have rolled back. She throws her head back and vomits two different shades of shadowy sludge and feathers. Demented laughter can be heard in a variety of voices. Agent Two and the I.M.P. gang watch-Loona snapping a photo-as the shadows coalesce into two demonic, shadowy owl monsters. One was black and red, the other was black and pink. The shadow beasts approach the two agents, screaming and roaring at them as they huddle together out of sheer horror. The demon beasts' essences pull back and turn into Stolas and Octavia, looking at the agents with disdain. The younger Goetia turns away from them and clicks a button, shutting off the alarm and the red light as well. The series of doors is heard opening off-screen. Stolas and Octavia walk up to the gathered I.M.P. group., stopping in front of Blitzo and Lincoln.

Lincoln: Via?

Blitzo: Stolas? Wha-... A- Wh- Hold on, how did you know that we needed help?

Stolas: I have my ways, darling.

Octavia: *approaches Lincoln* Are you alright? Nothing's broken? You're not bleeding?

She softly caresses Lincoln's cheek as he rests his hand on hers.

Lincoln: Yeah, I'm okay, sweetie...

Octavia: *softly* Mm. Good.

Octavia suddenly grabs him by the collar of his shirt and pulls him in roughly, adopting a sharper, angrier tone, which admittedly startled him.

Octavia: How the FUCK... did you get caught by humans?! You PROMISED ME you would be careful up here!

Stolas: *just as angry as his daughter* You know, if you *boops Lincoln and Blitzo's noses* get in trouble, I get in trouble! WE... *grabs Blitzo's cheek* don't want that!

Moxxie pulls Stolas's hand away from Blitzo's cheek.

Moxxie: They... caught us off guard, your highness.

Blitzo: ...Yeah, you two can unclench your bird-pusses.

Lincoln: It's not gonna happen again. I promise... and I'm not breaking this one.

Octavia: It better not. *a bit sternly* In fact, you better guarantee it. Okay? *Lincoln nods at her, and she looks down with a worried sigh* I just really worry about you, Linky…

Lincoln softly strokes her hair as she looks back up at him. He gives her a warm smile, and she smiles back.

Stolas: Luckily for you... most don't believe the word of the demon-obsessed lunatics.

The camera pans and cuts to Agents One and Two holding each other, shaking in fear.

Stolas: *off-screen* They are seen as kooks!

Cut back to Stolas giggling and looking rather pleased with himself.

Stolas: Kooks! Such a silly word! *claps his hands together* Now! Let us all return!

As he goes to open a portal, an eerie whistle fills the room as Lincoln's eyes go wide and his face goes pale.

Loona: *everyone stops and looks around* The fuck is that?

Even Agents One and Two snap out of their fear-induced states and look around. Lincoln, his breathing and heart beat beginning to increase, slowly turns his head towards the large room of dead D.H.O.R.K.S agents. As the lights flicker on and off, the cloaked figure of Death appears, slowly drawing out his sickles as he whistles his tune.

Moxxie: *he and Blitzo look stunned, then look at Lincoln* Son… is that…?

All Lincoln can muster to say is:

Lincoln: It's him… He's here for me...

Dragging his sickles along the ground and kicking up sparks, Death then swings his sickles up and ignites a ring of crimson fire that surrounds him and Lincoln, knocking everyone else back.

Octavia: *sits up* Lincoln!

Lincoln is left frozen where he stands, glancing back as he sees he's truly trapped in this ring of fire with Death.

Death: *pulls back his hood* I've enjoyed the chase, perro. *grins at Lincoln* But I think we've reached the end now, you and I.

He spins his sickles and causes them to scrape against each other, letting out a spark. Lincoln steps back in fear, getting a bit closer to the flames. It was like he was stuck with a choice: either let Death kill him, or burn to death in the flames. He could tell these were the types of flames that even most demons can't survive. Hell, even Stolas could be burned by them, hence why he and Via can't just run in and bail him out.

Death: You gonna take the coward's way out? Run away with your tail between your legs? *spins his sickles again*

Lincoln looks back at Death, sweat dripping down his face and soaking his fur.

Death: *reaches to his back pocket* Or are you gonna FIGHT?!

He then tosses something to Lincoln's feet. As it clatters across the floor, Lincoln looks down and sees the knife he left behind on his first encounter with Death. Death had held onto it for this very moment.

Death: *spins his sickles* Pick it up. *Lincoln looks up at him in fear* C'mon, PICK IT UP! *spins his sickles again*

As Death keeps spinning his sickles, Lincoln looks back down at the knife as moments of his begin to flash on-screen, including:

3-year old Lincoln hiding in the sewer during the Extermination, the moment he met Octavia, and some of the other moments from the last time his life flashed before his eyes, which causes him to tightly close his eyes.

But then… more moments began to appear.

He and Millie shaking hands with Blitzo on the day he hired them. The moment he met his extended family in the Wrath Ring for the first time. He and Octavia talking with Vortex and Lynn in their human disguises. Him fighting against Ronnie Anne and Lana in the Harvest Moon Festival. Moxxie and Millie's wedding, where he was the best man. Him shaking hands with Charlie Morningstar as she excitedly welcomes him to the Happy Hotel, with Vaggie, Lori and Leni standing nearby. And finally, Lincoln and Octavia's date, where the two share a loving kiss.

Lincoln's eyes snap wide open as a single tear runs down his face. Blitzo's words from before ring out.

Blitzo (voiceover): You better shove all that fucking fear into your gut and use that damn love of what's close to you to kick his ass!

He was right. He could not be afraid anymore.

Death: *off-screen* What's the matter? *cut to him as he grins* Life flashing before your eyes?

Cut back to Lincoln, his hair casting a shadow over his eyes, before a smirk forms on his lips. Behind him in the flames, the silhouettes of I.M.P. and the Goetias could be seen.

Lincoln: Yeah. But y'know what? *looks up* I'm okay with that. It's helping me remember what I'm fighting for… because I'm done running from you.

Cut to the flames as Moxxie and Blitzo look on, their eyes widening and Blitzo smiling. Lincoln kicks his knife up to his hand and catches it, spinning it around in his hand, before pointing it at Death.

Lincoln: YOU AND ME. LET'S GO, RIGHT NOW!

Cut to Death as he looks surprised at Lincoln's reaction, before chuckling with a grin.

Death: This is gonna be fun. *spins his sickles one last time*

With a snarl, he charges at Lincoln with his sickles drawn back. Lincoln charges to meet him halfway with his knife drawn back. The two jump at each other and clash blades, causing sparks to fly. As they land, Lincoln skids back and stops himself from going into the flames. He charges at Death and blocks each attack with his knife as the two engage in a close fight. Due to his smaller size compared to Death, Lincoln is much more agile, but Death is still stronger.

On the other side of the ring of fire, I.M.P. and the two Goetias can only see the silhouettes of Lincoln and Death fighting as Lincoln backflips out of the way of Death's sickles stabbing into the ground. Cut back as Lincoln blocks Death's sickle with his knife, then pushes it back and hits Death in the face with a strong kick to the face that sends him flying back. Death skids across the floor, hardly hurt from the attack as he wipes the black blood from his lip with a smirk.

Death: Bien. *stands up* Muy bien. (Translation: Good. Very good.)

Death slams the handles of his two sickles together and combines them into a double-ended glaive that he spins around with a cocky smirk. Lincoln's eyes widened in shock at seeing this. Before he can truly process this, Death charges and slashes at him. Lincoln just barely leaps back, only to get grazed across the stomach by the blade as his shirt and vest get torn. Death then goes for a downward stab that Lincoln manages to backflip away from, but at the cost of his vest getting a heavy cut down the back. Death then slams the handle of his weapon into Lincoln and sends him tumbling back across the ground as his knife flies from his hand. Lincoln props himself up with his elbow as he coughs up black blood, while Death walks towards him, eyeing the dropped knife and clicking his tongue in disappointment.

Death: *looks at Lincoln* You really gotta stop losing that, perro.

He then spins his glaive and goes to take off Lincoln's head… but that's when a shockwave suddenly knocks him back. He stops himself with his weapon and looks up. The spectators' eyes widen in horror as they realize what happened.

Millie: No, no, no! Not now!

Loona: Not again!

Cut back to Lincoln, now surrounded in a black and red aura with frizzy fur, extended claws, sharper teeth, and bloodlust filled eyes. His Hellhound Bloodlust had reawakened, and Death… just smirked at the sight.

Death: *smirking* Go ahead. Let loose all you want, Lincoln. *cut to Lincoln as he growls viciously* All wild dogs run right into death when their instincts blind them.

Lincoln starts to walk towards Death in his blind rage. Cut to Octavia as she can only think of one way to get through to Lincoln without being able to reach him. At the top of her lungs, Octavia screams through the flames.

Octavia: LIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNCCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLNNNNNNN!

Lincoln's eyes widened and his growling stopped upon hearing Octavia's voice. His bloodlust filled eyes look down to his feet as he sees the necklace Octavia gave him on their date, before it flashes back to that very moment.

Octavia (memory): It's like a sweet little memory, to recall how I never left your side and helped you get through all those horrible memories you endured. I always wanted to see you happy and terror-free, and like hell I want that to stop now.

It snaps back to Lincoln, under the influence of the Hellhound Bloodlust, fighting off everyone in the Harvest Moon Festival in a blind rage, until Octavia hugs him tightly and causes him to freeze up.

Octavia (memory): *tears in her eyes* Please, Lincoln… Calm down… Take a moment… Just… breathe… *voice breaks* Please…

It then snaps to two years before, when Octavia and Lincoln reunited in the Wrath Ring. A smile forms on Lincoln's face as his tail starts to wag, before he hugs Octavia. Octavia's eyes widen for a moment as her face gains a slight red tint, before she smiles and returns the hug.

Lincoln (memory): *whispers* Thank you, Via... That means a lot.

Octavia (memory): *whispers to him* You're welcome.

It then snaps back to their date as the two split from their kiss as they lovingly gaze into each other's eyes.

Octavia (memory): *smiling* You're amazing, Lincoln… I love you so much…

Lincoln (memory): *smiling as his tail wags* I love you too, Octavia…

It zooms out to present day, Lincoln's bloodlust eyes wide, before closing. Cut to his teeth, which are still bared viciously, as he closes his mouth and takes a deep breath through his nose. Cut to Death as he stops approaching, his eyes widening in shock. The black and red Hellhound Bloodlust aura around Lincoln begins to shrink and calm down, his fur becoming less wild but still sticking up. He leans down and picks the necklace back up, holding it close to his heart. His lengthened claws start glowing orange like they were heated up, and the Virgo Zodiac symbol appears on his chest as what remains of his shirt and vest burn to ashes. His aura, which is much calmer and gentler compared to before, glows the same orange color, and his eyes then snap open as they retain their normal look, but now with red irises instead of the usual white. He has finally gained true control of his Hellhound Bloodlust, retaining its power and then some while also being in control of his actions and mindset.

Death: *cut to him in shock* No… *growls in rage* NO!

He runs at Lincoln and swings his glaive at Lincoln, but Lincoln flips over the weapon and the larger Hellhound with the same nimbleness and reflexes he has in his regular state, but now amplified to the highest degree as he lands right by his dropped knife. Lincoln takes a second to process this new power in surprise, looking at his claws.

Lincoln: *her voice echoes a bit as he speaks* Whoa… that's new. *picks up his knife with a smirk as he faces a stunned Death* I like it.

Cut to the watching onlookers from Hell. Octavia's already wide eyes widen more as a smile forms on her lips. Blitzo grins, before holding his hands up to his mouth and shouting:

Blitzo: C'MON, LINCOLN! KICK HIS FUCKING ASS TO HELL AND BACK!

Octavia, Moxxie and Millie look at each other, smile and nod, then look back to the flames as they shout as well.

Octavia: KICK HIS ASS, LINKY!

Moxxie: YOU'VE GOT THIS, LINCOLN!

Millie: SHOW THIS FUCKING ASSHOLE WHAT YOU GOT!

Loona: *holding her phone and recording this* BEAT HIS ASS, LINCOLN!

Lincoln roars as he blitzes right to Death and swings his knife and his claws, now having the Grim Reaper on the defense. Lincoln drags his glowing claws along the floor and kicks up some orange flaming embers into Death's face, blinding him briefly. Death roars as he swings his glaive at Lincoln, but Lincoln flips out of the way and lands on the weapon itself, then slashing it in half with his knife as he backflips away. Death looks at his broken weapon in shock as Lincoln lands on the ground, slightly cracking it. He then runs at the Grim Reaper, who quickly grabs the dropped sickle, and goes for a downward slash. Death blocks the knife with both sickles as his eyes are reflected in it, then shoves it back. Lincoln gets sent flying back, but then jumps up and propels himself off the ceiling towards Death, the very same move he attempted in their first fight. But instead of going for a stab, he then fakes Death out by kicking him right in the face and sending him flying back as he drops his sickles. Lincoln lands back on the ground, breathing a bit heavily as one of Death's sickles rests at his feet. He puts his foot on it, then kicks it over to Death as he tries to pick himself up. The sickle stops right in front of him as he stares at it, while his other one had landed by him before.

Lincoln: *points his knife in Death's direction* Pick it up.

Death looks up at Lincoln in surprise, seeing he's doing the same thing he did to him the first time they fought.

Lincoln: *glaring at Death, the silhouettes of I.M.P. and the two Goetias behind him* I know I can never defeat you, Death. And maybe I will end up losing everything again one day. But no way in Hell am I ever running from you again. I'm done being scared! I'm done mulling over the past! And I'm done fearing psychopaths like you! I'm never gonna stop fighting to protect the life I have now! Whether they're under attack by you, that fucker Striker, that bitch Stella, WHOEVER! I don't care! They'll have to go through me to get to them!

Death glares back at Lincoln with a low growl, before slowly picking up his dropped sickle and standing to his feet. He slowly walks up to Lincoln as the flames burn around them. When Death is right in front of Lincoln, he leans down and growls in Lincoln's face. Lincoln doesn't flinch as he glares back at the Grim Reaper, matching his intensity. Only Death's growls are heard as the two glare at each other, when…

Death: *growls more aggressively before turning around furiously, shouting to the ceiling as Lincoln just looks confused* ¡¿POR QUÉ MIERDA JUGÉ CON MI COMIDA?! (Translation: WHY THE FUCK DID I PLAY WITH MY FOOD?!) *groans and looks back at Lincoln* YOU'RE RUINING THIS FOR ME! *gets in Lincoln's face again* I came here for a scared little brat who didn't know how to stop living in fear of losing everything again!

Lincoln stares at Death, not saying a word. The Grim Reaper's anger subsides as he sighs.

Death: But I don't see him anymore.

Lincoln sighs out as his new power disappears from him, his appearance returning to normal. Death sheathes his sickles as he looks down at Lincoln.

Death: Live your life, Lincoln. *turns away from Lincoln* Live it well.

He walks away, stopping at the edge of the flaming ring he created.

Death: *looks back at Lincoln* You know we will meet again… right?

Lincoln: ... Yeah. *smirks* I'll see you then, old friend.

Death, with a slight smirk on his face and newfound respect for Lincoln, whistles his tune as he walks through the crimson flames, which then disperse to reveal he's disappeared, as the entire ring of fire disappears too, revealing I.M.P. and two Goetias behind Lincoln, who turns around to face them as he puts the necklace in his pocket. Relieved beyond belief, Lincoln's parents and girlfriend run up to him and tightly hug him. He returns the hug without hesitation, smiling as he does.

Blitzo: *steps up with Loona and Stolas* Gonna be honest, kid… when you said Death was after you, I just thought you were being melodramatic or some shit.

Lincoln: *deadpan for a second, but then smirks* Of course you did, asshole. *his smirk fades as he looks at everyone* Guys… I'm sorry that I made you worr- *Octavia presses a finger to his lips*

Octavia: *smiling* Linky, you don't need to apologize.

Loona: Yeah, Lincoln. *smirks and puts him in a headlock* We only worry because we care, dipshit. I know I give you a lot of shit, but you're like the little brother I never wanted.

Lincoln: *chuckles* Fuck you too, Loona.

Lincoln elbows Loona's side, making her let go as she flinches, but chuckles and flips him off, which he returns with his own.

Stolas: *claps his hands together* Now! Let us all return, uninterrupted this time.

Stolas opens a portal back to the I.M.P. office.

Moxxie: Yes, please. I'd like to get back to the correct hellhole as soon as possible.

Moxxie hops through and helps Millie through, Loona walks through looking at Stolas' Grimoire, and Stolas picks up Blitzo in a bridal carry.

Stolas: Am I going to get any thank you for the rescue, Blitzy?

Blitzo: Well, I suppose you should. Want me to fuck your brains out tonight?

Stolas: Very much so. *leans in for a kiss*

Blitzo grabs the back of Stolas' head and pulls it back, causing him to blush.

Blitzo: Alright. But, you're keepin' quiet, or I'm usin' those bear traps.

Blitzo runs a finger down Stolas's face as he shudders with obvious pleasure, his feathers fluffing out.

Stolas: Ohhhh, please do~

The two of them partake in a French kiss. As they walk off-screen, Lincoln and Octavia follow behind.

Octavia: Ugh… since that is going on, mind if I-

Lincoln suddenly sweeps her off her feet as she lets out a startled yelp, landing in Lincoln's arm as he handsomely smirks at her. In her POV, Lincoln appears over a romantic background

Lincoln: You know you don't need to ask that, right, Via?

About as red as an Imp's skin, Octavia nuzzles against Lincoln's chest, also realizing it was still exposed because he was shirtless, making her go even redder.

Octavia: I love you, Lincoln…

Lincoln: *smiles and kisses her forehead* Love you too, Via.

The portal closes behind them. Agents One and Two watch as they leave.

Agent Two: ...So, what now?

Agent One: *excited* What now?! *walks off-screen* We finally got the evidence we needed to be taken... seriously!

Agent One walks over to a computer, pushing some rubble away before typing on the keyboard. Five monitors go from static to showing security camera footage of the events of the last few minutes. The first three monitors show footage of the I.M.P. crew slaughtering agents, the fourth shows Stolas and Octavia rearing over the cowering Agents One and Two in their demonic beast forms before transforming into their normal forms, and the fifth shows Lincoln and Death's intense fight. Notably, all three of the monitors showing the I.M.P. crew are green while the footage of Stolas and Octavia is red with a cracked camera lens, and the fight between Lincoln and Death is glitching and cutting to static every so often while also being red. Agent Two walks up and the two agents put their shades back on, smiling confidently.

Agent One: Nobody in corporate is ignorin' this. *chuckles victoriously*

The five screens go back to static one at a time, starting with the footage of Loona, followed by Millie, then Blitzo and Moxxie, then Stolas and Octavia (both of who could be seen staring into the camera), then lastly Lincoln and Death staring each other down as Death growls.
