Helluva Loud Adventures.
"The Truth from Stella Ars Goetia."

(February 3. Ars Goetia Palace, Far from Imp City.)

The portal from earth opens and coming through are: Lincoln, Luna, Loona, Blitzo, Moxxie, Millie, Lucy and EveLynn and they look around and see the palace. "Alright, whatever the fuck Stella Ars Goetia wants, we should see and hear this through" replied Loona.

"I don't think this has something to do with the letter I left her for us to talk about" replied Blitzo. "But I hope it is, though I didn't wanna have this talk with everyone else around."

"We won't know unless we go inside and hear what she has to say" replied Moxxie. They all head towards the palace and then they knock on the door and an imp opens it for them, and so they walk inside and they spot Octavia leaning against the wall and she sees them and smiles.

"Good to see you all, now my mum is waiting for us. Come on, my dad is also with her right now." They all follow Octavia and then Lincoln asks.

"Auntie Octavia, do you know anything about what this is all about?"

Octavia sighs and she tells them. "I am in the same fucked up not knowing boat as you folks are, I mean this seems a little off for my mum to have a meeting with the rest of us. The last time we had this get together meeting, was during December, recall that one?"

Blitzo nods. "Yeah, the day I had to break it off with Stolas and make sure that I can get the chance to make things right with my ex, and a heads up I plan to go on a date with her next week and I am so fucking prepared for that shit."

They all make it to the large meeting room place, and this is not the dining room and they see Stolas at his chair, and then his wife on her own chair and they stand up and Stolas speaks. "Greetings and welcome my friends, welcome to our humble domain and please take your seats so we can get this settled with."

They all take their seats and then Luna asks. "So, we're all here." She then looks towards Stella Ars Goetia. "So, what the heck are we all doing here? You did sent a message to our mom to have us all come and hear what you gotta say and we're all ears, Mrs. Ars Goetia."

Stella can see all of them looking towards her and then she speaks. "First, I wish to say. Blitzo, I do not hold anything against you anymore. After what you spoke to us last year during late December, I am grateful that you spoke those honest words to help us repair what was shattered."

"I know that family means so much to you, and as it does for me and my husband and Octavia. I do not seek any hatred or anger, and that we are both on good terms... But, the damage from before may have sparked something I did in order to make sure what caused it was gone."

All of them are confused hearing this and then Lucy asks. "What do you mean? Also, why are your words sounding like tons of pain, and regret?"

Stella then speaks. "Everyone, I was the one who hired Striker to assassinate my husband!" She then has some tears and covers her mouth.

All of them remain silent and Loona stops moving her tail around, and Stolas is confused, and so is Octavia. Then EveLynn chuckles and snickers. "Alright, alright. Wow, good job there, Mrs. Ars Goetia, I mean what in the heck of all things would you wanna hire someone like Striker?"

Blitzo also snickers. "Heck yeah, I mean an assassin such as that prick would be hired by those who hate... Stolas..." They all remain silent, and they look to Stella with utter disbelief. "No, you were the bitch who hired Striker to kill Stolas?! He also tried to kill us when we tried to stop him!"

"The scars of that fight are still on us" replied Millie.

Lincoln sighs. "Oh you have gotta be motherfucking kidding me!"

Stolas then asks. "Ummm, I do wish to be informed. But what on earth are all of you talking about?"

Loona then explains. "During the Harvest Moon Festival, we met Millie's folks and then we met their hired helper Striker, and he seemed like a normal cool imp, but then it turns out he is an assassin hired by someone to kill royalty, such as you."

Moxxie then speaks. "I tried to stop him, but he overpowered me and then Millie tried to stop him and he took us both down and had us stuck in the basement where Millie took a bear trap to the leg."

EveLynn then speaks. "The rest of us tried to fend him off, and he even managed to overpower myself, Blitzo and Lincoln and then escaped before Loona could get him, also we fought him inside of a building which was facing the stage where you were sitting and showing everyone the harvest moon."

Lucy then speaks. "The son of a bitch got away and we have had some encounters with the royalty assassin imp, and he has a hatred upon us for trying to stop him, and he doesn't like it when he can't get the kill. He's been an annoying prick for some time."

Stolas and Octavia are surprised to hear this. "Mum, what did you do?"

"Dear, why would you..." Then Stolas realizes why she did this. "Stella, you hired him to kill me for my actions, am I correct dear?"

Stella wipes away some tears. "Stolas, I did that because I was angry at what you have done to yourself, to me and to the family. I mean, I know the Ars Goetia name is a name to be held with upmost above all, but that didn't matter to that fact you made me feel like shit and that I was nothing!"

Stella then has her feathers ruffled and she is getting pissed off at the memories. "You slept with an imp, you would never acknowledge me in the morning as we always did! You kept this affair for so long away from me and all started when after that whole fucking trip to fucking Loo-Loo Land!"

Stella then has some tears. "And every time you thought about that fucking imp, you made me feel like I couldn't be loved by you anymore! You casted me out over an imp and made me feel that I was nothing and worthless to you! I felt... I felt like I lost... My love for you, because of..."

Stolas then goes over and he comforts his wife, and the others can see just how far this affair that Stolas and Blitzo had went, and the imp boss is confused and has tears of his own. Stolas also has tears knowing this and he can feel Stella embracing him and sobbing.

Blitzo and Stolas now see, that the cause of their affairs has led to something far worse, so far that Stella went to hire an assassin to kill Stolas, but only to end up having that assassin defy and become an enemy towards the family and crew of I.M.P.

Soon, Stella stops sobbing and she departs from the hug with her husband and Stolas wipes away her tears. "My dear, I understand why you did that and... Even if it did go down as you planned, I would understand why you did that. Because I can see now that what I did along with Blitzo hurt you."

"I thought my actions were making Octavia feel hurt, but I didn't know it hurt the most for my dear wife. I should've seen this, but I didn't. I was clouded and blinded by my sexual affairs with Blitzo that I was unable to see what I have truly done... And... And I am sorry for what I did and I forgive you, Stella."

"I promise that I will make it up to you for all I have done and for not making you be the one true love of my life, and I thought you would only uphold the Ars Goetia name, but now I see the truth that you care about me and our daughter... I am truly sorry for all I have done and I still and always will love you, my dear Stella."

Stella sheds some tears and she shares a small and yet passionate kiss with her husband, and then Octavia goes over and she embraces her mother, to which Stella returns the embrace. Then Stella sees the others not looking at her sternly, but with concern.

"Look, everyone. I am sorry at what had happened, and I regret hiring that imp to be part of this ordeal. I feel like a total fool, but I was angry and sad and didn't know what to do with everything when it all went to bullshit for Stolas and myself for a long, long time."

"But I managed to contact Striker and I told him to steer clear of Stolas and that the bounty was off, he did sound pissed off hearing that and he said he wanted to finish the kill. But I chose to pay him in double the original price and he agreed to not come after Stolas."

"Though, I am not sure about his ordeal with the lot of you. I wish I could've told him not to go after you all, but after he agreed he hung up and when I tried to call him again I couldn't get him anymore. Striker is now in the dark and though he got his cash as I promised. He hasn't been seen since and I don't know where he is anymore."

Lincoln thinks about this. "He doesn't wanna be tracked down by you ever again because he wants to cut off all ties with the client, a dang fucking clever move from that assassin and quite effective too. Also, I think it's because he knows we talked to you about the truth from Blitzo and his words."

Luna also sees this. "He doesn't wanna have a troubling ordeal with the Ars Goetia and wants to proceed with his job and killing us when he has the chance. Oh fuck."

Loona then thinks about this. "But he can't get to us because we don't reside in hell anymore, and he doesn't wanna take down our allies because it would spark a conflict with our other friends who would go after him. This is an assassin personal conflict, where everyone else stays out of it."

Moxxie then looks to Stella. "We understand your anger, and we forgive you. But this ordeal we're having with striker has nothing to do with you. This is an assassin's problem, and no one else. We can handle this."

Stella sees that all of them forgive her and understand, she then sees Blitzo. "Blitzo. I just..."

"No, I should be sorry. I went too far with Stolas and our affairs, and we should've seen this shit coming. You are not to blame here, this is all on me and Stolas and I don't wanna have you two get caught in this fucked up ordeal we have with Striker." Blitzo then stands up.

"We're done talking here, and I won't hold this against you, Stella. I am glad that I broke it off with Stolas and I just wanna make sure that your family is gonna be doing well and not having disputes with us, for the sake of both of our families and the futures we all wanna see through."

Stella understands and she has some stuff to talk about alongside her husband and daughter about her other fucked up plans to get revenge on Stolas and he would understand and so would Octavia, because they know how hurt Stella's heart was ever since Stolas and Blitzo had this damned affair with each other.

The team of I.M.P then take their leave from the place, and they need to think about what has gone down and also ask Tannins if perhaps she can track down this imp named, Striker. Because this conflict is an assassins vs an assassin business and no one has to be involved.

To be continued in the next chapter folks!

A/N: Now they know the truth and now they understand why this has gone down, but it is only a matter of time before I.M.P has another clash against that damned assassin, named Striker! I do hope that some of you enjoyed reading this whole new chapter of this story folks!
