8. A Grimm Challenge (Part II)

"Millie? MILLIE!"

Static

"DAMN IT!"

That shout from the fallen angel known as Dex is what we open this chapter with. After Millie was knocked out cold. And, her fate was left unknown in part one. The male is seen sitting with his head deep in his palms while Octavia is tending to Moxxie and Balthazar. While Blitzo was sat on the bonnet of the jeep with his gun held at the ready.

Octavia, the owl they'd originally been sent to retrieve. And, was supposed to be returned home before things went south with Zerachiel's squad, is seen sitting in the front seat when a file caught her eye. With her interest peaked. She took to reading the dossier while Dex was making sure everyone was doing OK.

Scanning the pages carefully while taking into account the last message Millie had relayed to them about the creature she had encountered being weak to pure light. Octavia only stopped when she came across the entry Snow had written down himself from his own experiences centuries ago.

"What are you trying to show me, Snow?"

Stopping on the entry marked 'Grimm' within the papers. Octavia's eyes widen at the image just being a question mark. While a huge stamp of 'highly dangerous' is seen stamped on the picture itself. Something of which is seen paper clipped to the top of the papers.

After finding the paragraph she was looking for. And, with one look towards Dex after throwing him the files. Octavia took the radio and spoke.

"Bloodhound, this is Starfire. Sis, you might want to know about what you are up against."

With Loona

"Go ahead Tavia."

"I did some digging. And, I know I wasn't supposed to be snooping in your husband's rucksack. But, looking through the file I found it in the bag. According to Snow's files he had brought with him. The creature you are up against? Her codename is 'Grimm'. This, 'Grimm', is a speciality archangel that works within the shadows. And, she is a part of God's speciality black ops team that is tasked with killing high-level Devils, Nephilim and Genesis."

Loona pauses in place from where she is standing in a room on the first floor. Eric had mentioned something to Loona about these hunters that worked within, and manipulated, the shadows to their advantage. One problem. Snow always told those stories to help Evie sleep when she got fussy.

"So, they weren't just my husband's bedtime stories for Evie after all."

"Unfortunately not sis. The Grimm, as Snow has subtly codenamed her, is probably the cause of Snow's disappearance. Upon doing further reading. the powers that Grimm possesses have me worried Loona."

"What do you mean Tavia?"

Pages rustling

"I've found an entry Snow wrote on her powers and… Loona. She is the cause of Moxxie's paralysis. And, she is the cause of Balthazar's sickness. Which, in these papers, Snow has called it 'The Shivering.'"

"Is there a cure?"

"Ah, OK, this could be a problem."

"Tavia?"

"According to Snow in his files. To cure the shivering and ghost paralysis. You must bring the Grimm into a pure source of light. And, you HAVE to kill her with an angel killing round made of pure copper to the head."

Now Loona was worried. She and Millie had gone into the fight head first without any warning, or heads up, about what they were up against until now. This also meant that Loona was poorly prepared for her newly revealed nemesis.

"Bleep! I don't think I packed any copper rounds, Octavia." Loona soon slaps her head in realisation when she remembers who wrote the file about Grimm and her only weakness. "Of course, I'm an idiot."

"Sis?"

After the realisation hit her like a freight train. Loona speaks again with a new determined look on her face.

"Octavia. In the Jeep where you found the file. And, within the trunk of the vehicle. There is an ammo box marked with a label that says Grimm on it. Find them and bring them to me."

With Octavia

I looked up from the file to see Dex talking with Blitzo. Octavia whispers down the radio.

"But what if Dex tries to stop me from leaving?"

A laugh is heard from the other side of the radio before Charlie speaks.

"Octavia, you're a smart girl. Use your freaking head and figure out a way past Dex."

Once the line went dead. And, the radio was put back. Octavia gets out of the Jeep and heads to the trunk where the weapon needed to defeat the now-named enemy is inside.

The owl began to load the bullets into the German luger she had stolen from her home. Checking the batteries inside the flashlight before closing the trunk. She wasn't expecting Dex to stand behind her and say.

"What are you doing?"

Octavia jumped out of her skin at the voice catching her before her plan could take place. Hiding the copper rounds and the luger behind her back, Octavia speaks.

"Dex, you scared me."

Dex could only nod sceptically. Knowing the fallen angel wasn't going to buy any excuse the female came up with. Octavia removed the items from behind her back and held them in front of her for the male to see. What she wasn't expecting was Dex to sigh before saying.

"I heard Loona on the other end of the line ask for you specifically to bring these to her."

Expecting Dex to take the gun and ammunition from her. Octavia was pleasantly surprised when the fallen angel held a gun holster out for the female to take. Much to her shock when she did take the items. Wanting to question the male, Dex speaks.

"I just want you to return safely. And, I want you to return knowing you've gained an achievement to be proud of."

With a new admiration in her eyes for the male before her. Octavia is wrapped up in a warm embrace from the normally stoic male. Who, as of this minute, is the temporary commanding officer while Balthazar and Snow are indisposed? Once the two disengage the hug. Dex makes sure that Octavia has everything she needs before sending her on her way to provide backup for Loona.

Back With Loona

Medical Room

"Creep show much."

Those were Loona's first words as she entered the room that seemed too big to be inside the house she was in. Looking for Snow was going to be hard. Considering her husband that she was looking for was held prisoner in Grim,'s element within the shadows and fear. However, the facade didn't last long.

"Come into my parlour... said the spider to the fly."

With her gun now raised at the new person in the room. Loona looked up the stairs. And, there she was. Grimm, stood unmoving and staring coldly at her latest capture. Or, as Loona was soon to learn the hard way. She was to be the next victim of Grimm's nightmares.

"You."

She wasted no time and instantly unleashed her claws for the ensuing fight. The angel of the shadows began to smirk coldly. Causing the hound to instantly shiver from the cold stare she was receiving.

"I assume you are here to avenge those fools who stepped into my domain without an invitation? Oh, darling. Lazarus is alive. But, the fool knew better than to test my patience, my dear. He's not worth your bravado."

Loona tsk'd at Grim, before replying.

"It may seem so. But, do you forget that the 'fool' you are referring to? He just so happens to be my husband and father to my children. He'd do the same for me if I was in his situation!"

This made Grimm laugh cruelly. The angel of shadows still had one last trick up her sleeve to unnerve her opponent in the form of summoning Snow before his wife. The sight before Loona causes her to almost crack when she sees Snow held within Genesis suppressing chains. With his eyes lifeless with a blank stare. Loona shouts.

"ERIC!"

While Loona was still horror-struck at the sight of her pillar of strength held in chains. She was unaware of the spawns that Grimm had summoned. Upon their appearance, Grimm speaks.

"Dispose of her."

At that command. The nightmare spawns sprung to attack Loona who had to dodge the first attack before hitting the second one with a straight right hand before clawing out the next one's throat. All before turning to block Grimm's punch from out of nowhere.

"Impressive. Your reflexes are sharp my darling."

That's when the two began exchanging blows before Grimm got the upper hand by open palm striking the female in the chest. Loona retaliated by hitting a knee strike to Grimm's jaw before using a fist to punch the shadow angel in the solar plexus. Making her cough up spit before being sent flying with a forearm shot to the jaw.

"Impressive..."

Grimm says this when she is seen spitting blood from her mouth. Standing to her feet. And, summoning more shadow creatures to attack Loona. The hound manages to dodge the first three tendrils. But, she couldn't avoid the others that grabbed her and brought her towards Grimm. With a victorious smirk upon the angel's lips. Loona begins to squirm within the angel's grasp.

"… Shame I have to destroy you."

With her eyes turning red and the tendrils beginning to light up with dark holy fire. Loona began to scream when Grim used the same spell she did on Snow.

"Purgatorian Spell 767. Eternal Nightmares."

The blood began to pour like a fountain from Loona's eyes, mouth and ears while she screamed blue murder from the torture that was going on in her mind. All of her worst fears began flooding her at once.

"That's it! accept your defeat mutt! You knew you didn't have a chance against me. NOW FALL!"

As Loona was about to succumb to her fate. She swore she heard voices calling to her. Telling her to keep fighting. That was until a gunshot rang out. And, it broke Loona out of her nightmares. Causing Grimm to drop the hound to the floor. And, causing her to hold her shoulder in pain from the offending copper shell that embedded itself deep within. Causing the angel to shout.

"WHO DARES ATTACK ME!"

A smoking gun barrel is seen in focus before an owl holding said gun is focused upon. The shot soon reveals Octavia to be seen glaring down Grimm with her German Luger ready to fire another round into the angel if she made another move.

"I dare."

From where she is stood. Octavia sees her stepsister with blood dripping from her eyes, ears and nose before looking back at the angel with anger deep in her eyes. Loading another set of rounds into the Luger, Octavia speaks.

"Try to fight someone who isn't afraid of you, bitch!"

Song play: Ghost Rule by Lollia

When Grimm took off like a rocket. Octavia didn't have time to think on her feet. Because, one minute she is standing in front of her enemy. The next? She was sent flying with a straight right hand into the nearest wall of the hospital room. Causing a massive hole in the wall. And, the wind to be knocked out of the owl.

"Dammit! She's good."

Octavia says with a groan. The minute after she says this. Grimm went from in front of the owl. To behind her. Hitting her with a massive roundhouse kick which sent the owl flying out of the house.

Once in the open grounds of the house's yard. The shadow sped back towards Octavia. Jumping in the air and landing a ground punch, which Octavia had the where with all to dodge before doing an on-the-floor spin kick. Sending Grimm back before using her gun to try and hit the speedy angel.

In her effort. Octavia received another jaw-rattling right hand before Grimm used an open palm strike to send Octavia up into the air again before jumping up to meet her and hit her with multiple kung fu kicks at the speed of light before using another spinning side thrust kick to send Octavia into the dirt below.

"This is what you pissants send to fight me with? A little girl?"

Crawling from her crater, Octavia coughs up blood before angering the angel by smirking in defiance at the angel trying to mock a member of the Goetia royal family.

"This girl?" Coughs up more blood violently. "I can still resist and kick your holy ass into the dirt."

Standing up in defiance. And, the pain she felt be damned. The two different beings collided again with a right hand meeting right hand before Octavia gained the upper hand with a knee strike to the nose before turning it into an axe kick to the back of the head of a kneeling Grimm. Sending what she assumed was the angel straight into the ground below. The real Grimm hit the owl with a huge clothesline with enough force. It sent Octavia into the dirt below before dropping onto her spine with a missile headbutt. Causing her to scream in pain.

After this assault. Octavia was picked up with little effort and thrown aside into the dirt. Leaving the owl wide open for Grimm when she is seen lifting her hand with beam charging.

"SHADOW SWORD."

A massive beam soon erupted from Grimm's right hand and caught the injured Octavia unaware in the blast.

"Bullseye."

What caught the angel off guard, however, was Octavia had done the splits and had avoided the huge energy wave coming towards her in the nick of time. The minute the owl stood back up. She noticed multiple Grimm's around her. Each with their own soulless and dead smile before the real Grimm herself stood before Octavia.

The owl soon realised she couldn't move from her standing position when looking at Grim in pure terror. The shadow angel smirked before walking towards her and whispering in her ear.

"This is the end for you."

With that said. The clones still stood there. Making Octavia worry even more when Grimm raised her hand. And, in one swift motion, snapped her fingers.

End Song

Silence…

EAR SHATTERING SCREAM...

With a twitch of her hand. And, with the feathers of the cut and gashed body of the owl falling to the ground in a heap next to her stepsister. Loona found herself rousing from her stupor with blood in her eyes. Once she saw Octavia she lay unmoving with blood drenching her and tears in her eyes from the pain the owl felt. Loona lurched upwards with a sit-up. And, once she is fully stood, she stares down an unsuspecting Grim.

She breathed heavily after her surprisingly quick victory with a sadistic smirk on her face. When the two beings locked eyes. Grimm's smirk turned to angered anguish when she saw a now angered Loona standing in front of the fallen owl. This sight leads to Grim shouting.

"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BREAK MY SPELL!"

Song Start: Infinite by Tyler Smyth and Andy Bane (Loona Vs Grimm Round 2).

Without warning. The first attack went to Loona. as the hound, being crazed and all, ran right through Grimm's attack and levelled the shadow angel with a straight right hand into Grim's mouth. She sent her flying which soon followed with Grim trying to mount her offence by dodging the pummelling from the hound in mid-air. Until she dodged one hit to land a backflip kick counter to Loona's head.

That shot didn't seem to phase the berserk hound. This is shown when Loona finds herself charging down the angel with a huge spear tackle before slamming her down onto the ground. And, grabbing her by her hair and with 6 huge swings, threw Grimm back into the house.

House

Staggering to her feet. Grimm soon noticed the Loona coming towards her with a charge. Thinking quickly, she thought she could jump over her to avoid the charge of the berserk female. How she wishes she'd known it was a bad idea.

"Where're you going bitch?!"

Realising she'd been caught. Grimm was slammed face-first into the ground of the hallway of the house before being brought back up to her feet with one clean hook from Loona. Grimm went flying face-first into another room. But, she still had no time to recover. Not only had she just got to her feet. Loona, with one swing, whilst channelling her inner Lazarus Snow, landed a headbutt square on Grimm's nose before swinging her fist around and landing six strikes to the face before using her legs to break free of the tendrils that were now trying to hold onto her by using one of her attacks.

One punch from Loona had now sent the angel of the shadows flying back through the walls of the Asylum room's main treatment theatre. Only managing to stop herself with her tendrils. Seeing the smirk on her angered opponent. Grimm shouts.

"You think you're being cute mutt?!"

While blood drips from her. Loona walks into the treatment theatre, hell fire now burning all around her as she picks up Grimm by her front. And, looking the angel in the eye. She says with a smirk.

"Bitch. I'm adorable."

Thrust kicking the angel in the face. And, sending her against the decrepit hospital equipment with a huge crash. Loona stood tall and spoke.

"You cannot win, Grimm. Do me a favour and just give up before I stain Heaven with your blood."

After that was said, the two collided again. This time, thanks to Grimm's anger at being humiliated, neither one was able to get an upper hand on the other. As fist met fist, kick met kick and forearm met forearm. The advantage soon swung back into Grimm's favour when she managed to push Loona back with a one-inch punch. This was soon followed by an axe kick to the back of the hound's head before the angel continued with her offence with a straight left hand followed by a right hook to the jaw of Loona. Leaving the female reeling from the barrage. Leading to an observation Grimm soon pointed out.

"Strange. From every hit, I land on you. You seem to get stronger."

Grimm says this as she is seen pummelling Loona while noticing the flames of the hound's hellfire getting brighter instead of dimmering from the shadow angel's assault.

"You're right, Grim. I was waiting for you to attack me. Just... so I... could do... this!"

The angel realised too late during the exchange that, while they were talking, Loona had raised one finger against Grimm's chest. Causing the female's eyes to widen in fury at being outsmarted.

"Time to die bitch!"

A shotgun blast-like punch shot straight through the angel's chest. Leaving nothing but her beating heart showing. With, a blank expression Grimm fell to the floor in a heap. With enough breath left to speak, Loona says.

"It could finally be over."

During Grimm's fall backwards in what seemed like defeat. An undetected tendril impales Loona from behind and through her chest. Making her cough up blood from her throat before, she should be dead, Grim stood before her with a new viscous smirk upon her features.

"Did you enjoy beating on my decoy? Now, I have you, exactly, where I want you."

All Loona could do was stay motionless before Grim walked unharmed towards her and grabbed her by the throat when speaking.

"You were a worthy adversary Hell hound. Now, it's time to put you to sleep... permanently."

Out of the corner of Loona's right eye. She noticed something. No, someone, slowly stirring. Making her eyes widen and then turn her head to face Grimm with a smirk. Noticing the Hound wasn't giving her the satisfaction of squirming within her grasp. Loona speaks.

"My time is not up yet."

Removing herself with a backflip from the tendril from her chest. And, after kicking Grimm straight in the chin on the way up. Whilst also breaking a hole in the roof to allow the light in. Grimm could do nothing but scream at the holy light assaulting her vision.

"HEY!"

While screaming in agony from the inpouring of light onto her being, Grimm screams at the owl who is leaning against the wall with her gun raised. And, with it pointed right between the angel's eyes. Octavia utters.

"Lights out bitch!"

BANG

With a pained breath leaving Octavia's body before passing out again. This time within Loona's arms. Octavia rested peacefully knowing she had escaped death once again. This time, thanks to Loona overcoming the shadows to win Snow and Millie's freedom.

End Song

Back With Dex

Resting with his feet on the front seat and his hood over his face. Dex is startled awake when the radio sparks to life and Loona's voice is heard over the airwaves.

"Bloodhound to Tech. Dex do you copy?"

Scrambling into a seating position and waking up everyone asleep in the Jeep with the fallen angel. Dex doesn't get the chance to answer the hellhound when a fully awake Balthazar answers the hound.

"This is Fallen Blade. Welcome, back Bloodhound."

Later

Once Millie sees Moxxie standing awaiting the two left standing that had fought the shadows and won. And, with a nod from Snow. Millie had never run as fast in her life as she did to leap into her husband's arms and smother him with kisses at seeing her beloved alive and kicking. If you look at the right time. You could see Blitzo was tearing up at seeing his daughter, stepdaughter and son-in-law walking towards him. He couldn't hold back his pride any longer. Ignoring the questioning looks he was getting from the others. He ran and hugged the male and females limping towards him.

Loona couldn't help but smile while watching Snow carrying Octavia on his shoulders back to the jeeps. Once Octavia was safe within Dex's arms. Loona spoke to the tech expert.

"When we get back to Hell, Dex. Treat her well. She was a badass today. And, she's earned her rest."

With a nod and a smile towards the hound. Dex places Octavia carefully into the backseat of the jeep which, at the moment, only had Moxxie and Snow in the backseat of the vehicle. Once the vehicles were ready. The cars took off to the resting place for the night.

Deserted Motel

With Snow and Loona

Looking out over the balcony with his hound towards the night sky above them. Snow's eyes were laser-focused on the next objective while Loona was cuddled into his side. After hearing Millie and Moxxie getting busy earlier. Snow knew, deep down, that Moxxie needed to get all the sex he needed before tomorrow.

Why?

Because the team would make their way onwards towards their next stop on the road to Angel's Peak and come one step closer to killing Zerachiel. Once and for all.
