Helluva Loud Adventures.
"The Harvest Moon Event Part 2."
(September 21. Somewhere in Wrath Ring.)
Volcanos with fiery spheres floating above them are revealed. Blitzo lies down on the ground and looks admiringly at the fiery demon horse Bombproof as he feasts on an animal carcass. But then, he's grabbed by Loona, and with her are Lincoln, Luna, Lucy and EveLynn.
Lincoln pets the head of Bombproof and then he follows the others, they bring Blitzo to the back of the farm house. "Wait, what the fuck?"
Loona growls. "Blitzo, the whole fucking shit about you hiring that imp when clearly we don't even know shit about that guy!"
Lincoln agrees. "Blitzo, we don't know him much. The other fucking day you hired him to be part of I.M.P, wait, you asked him and he approved to be part of it, and that would mean he'd come with us to earth! We don't even trust him!"
Luna also speaks. "You may be the boss, but we are a team, and a fucking family and for some fucking reason you didn't even recall that shit! Dude, you making this choice is fucked and you're acting like a total asshole!"
Blitzo then tries to calm them down. "Guys, calm down. Now, I know where this is going and I did some thinking…. I decided not to, and I have to talk to Striker about him being part of the company. I guess…. I made a shitty mistake."
EveLynn scoffs. "Shitty mistake? Blitzo, you made one big, dumb and fucked up choice, and didn't tell any of us. That hurts, and only shows that you are by far the biggest jackass we have ever met, probably the biggest one I have ever met."
Blitzo looks down with guilt. "Yeah, I know. I was wrong, and yeah I fucking admit it. But, I promise that I will talk to Striker about this…"
Loona then throws him away from them. "You fucking better!" She then walks away, since she has plans to go into town later with her kids, Lincoln and Luna follow her and then Vark as well.
Lucy goes over to Blitzo. "You screwed up big time, you need to make this right before you lose more than just the company." She then walks away from him and so does EveLynn and they go over to check on their mom and the others if they need some help.
Blitzo sighs and he gets back up. 'I really did fucked up big time. I need to find Striker and talk to him about this fucking shit. Before I lose more than just the company.' He then walks passed the fiery horse and pets it's head and he looks for Striker, but he does see the others doing their work.
Millie beams beside her parents as her brother's load up jack-o-lanterns into a truck. Millie waves at them and runs off. Inside the cottage, Moxxie glumly walks up some stairs. Moxxie notices light shining through the bottom of a door. "Well, that's troubling."
Moxxie opens the door and peers around. He notices the light coming from a box. He walks over and sees a rifle with glowing designs in an open gun case. "Oh my crumbs!"
He runs his hand along the side of the rifle, and this does surprises the imp. "A genuine carmine crafted blessing-tipped rifle! How… How in the fuck did he get one o' these?!" But he fails to even notice the other imp, well taller imp has walked into the room and grins.
Striker leans against the door frame behind him. "Why don't you ask me, little dude?"
Moxxie is surprised and startled and he turns around and spots Striker. "Shit! W- Why do you have this... mister?! You are aware this kind of weapon can kill—"
Striker grins and his eyes glow. "…demon royalty?"
Moxxie nervously replies. "Yes. That."
"No shit." Striker flicks his wheat stalk away. "That's kinda the point." Striker runs his claws along the door. He closes the door and advances menacingly toward Moxxie with a grin.
Moxxie is now deeply concerned and suspicious about this and he backs up to the bed. "Okay. Well I'm- I'm relatively concerned by your possession of this... I'm also glad my instant dislike of you has been vali-." Striker grabbed Moxxie by the throat. "-DATED!"
Striker wraps his tail around Moxxie's neck. He tosses Moxxie hard against the wall. He chokes Moxxie on the floor as Moxxie hisses and tries to claw at him. Striker holds him down with his body weight. Moxxie glances over to see a lamp on a table.
He kicks the table and the lamp crashes into Striker. Millie hears the crash from outside. Moxxie stands up and races toward the door. He pulls the door open but Striker roughly pulls him back by his tail. Striker covers Moxxie's mouth and begins to strangle him. Striker chuckles evilly as Moxxie begins to lose consciousness. "Pathetic."
Millie appears behind Striker and stabs him in the back with a knife. Moxxie collapses to the floor. A feral, enraged Millie stabs Striker repeatedly in the back. She leaps onto his back and holds the knife at his neck. Striker slams Millie off against the wall, breaking her arm. A bleeding Millie collapses next to Moxxie. Moxxie reaches his hand towards Millie.
Moxxie weakly speaks to his wife. "Millie…" Striker grabs both of them by their hair and tosses them into a cellar while no one even notices. Millie cries out as her foot gets caught in a bear trap.
Striker chuckles at this. "I'd kill y'all, but I feel like there's more leverage with your rodeo clown of a boss if I don't! Plus, you little things ain't worth the cleanup."
Moxxie runs up the stairs, but Striker closes the cellar doors. Moxxie tries to push the doors, but they won't budge. Moxxie then looks worriedly to his wife. "Millie!" Moxxie runs down the stairs to Millie, assessing her. "Oh, Satan!"
Millie then tries to comfort him. "Moxxie, I'm fiiiine! I got worse than this during the flower tufts at my brother's weddin'. But I caught that fuckin' bouquet, and it was fuckin' worth it! You just have to get out there, and fuck up that brownnosin' cocksucker for me!"
Moxxie has some worries. "But I can't break through it. I'm not strong enough."
Millie places a hand onto his hands. "Not with your hands, baby. Use what you're good at."
Moxxie is confused. "I'm not good with my hands?"
Millie raises an eyebrow with an unamused expression, and this makes Moxxie realize. "Ohhhh. Right. Yeah. Yeah."
Moxxie pulls out a pistol and fires a hole in the door. He pushes the doors open, but he looks to his wife. "I… I probably should've used this earlier, huh?"
Millie chuckles, but then she looks serious. "I love you hun… but for fuck's sake!"
"Mom! Dad!" They see Lucy and EveLynn go to them, then Lucy goes down to the basement and she helps her mother. "We were wondering where you guys were, the rest of the family have went to the town for the reveal of the Harvest Moon. What happened?"
Moxxie then tells them. "Striker happened and he plans to kill Stolas!"
Lucy looks to them. "I can handle mom, EveLynn, dad…. Go fucking take down that asshole." She helps her mother with her wound. Moxxie and EveLynn nod and they take off, but then EveLynn grabs the nearby sickle and brings it with her, they got an imp to take down and possibly kill.
(The Center of town.)
Stolas is on stage. Stolas magically flips through the grimoire and then he speaks to the imps all over the town. "My dear commoners of the Ring of Wrath! I, Stolas of the Ars Goetia, hereby curse this year's harvest with the glow of the true Harvest Moon!"
The clouds swirl as Stolas creates a portal. The portal reveals a glowing orange full moon in the sky. The crowd oohs in wonder and Lincoln and Luna look in awe, and they feel like howling, but Loona smirks and she stops them.
Loona then brings her two kids away. "Come on, let's not make a scene…." She stops when she sees Vark rubbing his butt on the ground. "Well, he did." They then head off someplace else, and not notice that Lucy's demonic wyvern is roaring at the sight of the moon.
Striker chuckles darkly as he aims the rifle at Stolas' forehead. A click is heard behind him. Blitzo aims his flintlock pistol at him. "Uh, excuse me? The FUCK?!"
Striker turns around and looks to the boss. "Bliiiitzo! I thought you were still at the ceremony!"
Blitzo is not amused by that. "You thought I wanted to stand around with a buncha hillbillies excited about corn n' shit with a thirsty owl on stage?!" He then recalls. "Also, I was looking for you to say, I don't think I.M.P would hire ya. Also because I made the wrong choice and should've told the others, family matters after all."
Striker stands up and snickers. "Huh. And now you seem disappointed in me. Also, the whole I.M.P thing…. I never wanted to fucking join anyway, just wanted to keep you unaware of what I gotta fucking do." Striker leans by the window and grins.
Blitzo is still not liking this. "Yeaaaaah. Well, I'm not a fan of someone I offered a job to about to off my easiest lengthy ticket to Earth behind my back, and also I don't like it when someone tries to shoot the guy who helped make my company for what it is, and not because I get to fuck with him."
Striker then spits his stalk. "Blitz, come on. You know, the two of us are superior than most of our kind. And you were so above suckin' on a disgusting, rich, pompous Goetia, only to sneak topside for scraps and work for bitter sinners, who could care less who you are, when you could be slaying Overlords."
"Hell, you could be slaying overlords alongside your grandkids and showing everyone who the boss is, and of course with me tagging along, I am a skilled assassin just as you are, compared to these yuppies in this shithole, plus you could show off what else you can do on earth as well."
Striker walks around Blitzo. Blitzo's eyes move and he appears conflicted. He aims his gun as Striker moves in the shadows. "Why struggle to run a business that is rigged against you with some horny bird beak bastard rich fuck? When you could partner up with me and kill... the unkillable?"
Striker pins a frightened Blitzo against the wall. "Starting with the one that treats you like a plaything?"
Blitzo grins in lust. "Ooh, that's kinda hot."
Striker snickers. "We could be the most dangerous beings in Hell, Blitzo."
Blitzo: Wow. That was a good fuckin' pitch.
"Been workshoppin' it. "Striker moves Blitzo's gun away."
Blitzo grins with his eyes glowing. "Y'know what? Fuck it. I'm in. Striker grins, but then he hears another click.
"Huh?" Moxxie appears behind him with Striker's rifle. Also, EveLynn is there and she has a sickle and she removed her red jacket and is wearing a red shirt with white sleeves and the I.M.P logo on the front and back.
Blitzo chuckles and smiles at them. "Took ya long enough, Mox! Ha-HA! Wow, you should've seen your dipshit face! Also, nice fucking weapon, kid!" Blitzo looks down to see Striker holding the knife in his other hand from behind. "Wow... Woah, okay. Cliché much?"
Striker points Blitzo's pistol at Moxxie. Moxxie blocks the bullet with the rifle side, and then EveLynn tries to slash him, but he makes her trip and then throws her towards Moxxie. "Oh, you daddy fucker!" Blitzo bites at Striker's arm."
Striker yells from this pain. "AAAAGH!"
The fight begins as Blitzo elbows Striker in the face. They exchange blows, and Striker slams Blitzo into Moxxie, both of them falling to the floor, but then EveLynn grabs onto his back and she managed to strike him on the shoulder with one of the sickles. "Fucking kid!"
Striker then grabs EveLynn by her ponytail and he throws her to the wall, but she gets back up and throws the other sickle, but Striker catches it and he kicks her in the gut and she goes down to the ground and he uses the sickle to pin her arms. "Stay out of this kid, you'll live longer."
"EveLynn!" Moxxie sees the rifle on the floor and reaches for it. Striker pins Moxxie's arm down with his boot, and this makes him yell. "AAAGH!"
Striker snickers at this. "You dumb fucks lost the upper hand fast, huh?"
Blitzo smirks. "HA! You seem to have forgotten something, fucko!" Blitzo whistles several times for Loona, and the kids.
(Outside.)
Loona is on her phone, and then she sees her son walk towards him and even Luna. "So, what did you guys do today?" She then puts her phone away.
Luna smirks. "Well, I showed them what I can do with an acoustic and the folks were dancin' like a rodeo was made, but then they all got aggressive when some imp was flirting with another and then the other dude and then… Well, I backed away from that wrestling match of a bar fight, and it wasn't even in a bar. Also, I think we should skedaddle before a fire starts, someone has a fiery horse in the fight."
Lincoln explains what he did. "Well, got away from that imp chick, again. Also, I told some of the imps what I did and they also have heard the news and they don't seem to see this as a big thing, and just replied that an overlord dies and gets replaced and it doesn't matter. They don't seem to care, and I can understand that… You guys heard that?"
Luna also hears this. "Sounds like, Blitzo?"
Loona sighs. "Yeah, does sound like it? Probably wants us to talk to him after what he did, you can run ahead and check kiddo. We'll be right behind."
Lincoln nods and he takes off on all fours, while Loona and Luna head there as well, but then they see Lucy and Millie, and Millie is wounded, and even her family sees this. "What the fuck?!"
(Back with the others.)
They all wait for something to come, and even EveLynn stops struggling the sickle off of her and also waits, and then Blitzo realizes. "Ugh, fuckin' damn it, Loona."
Striker snickers. "It's a damn shame, Blitzo. We might actually've made a good team... Ah well."
Blitzo then sees something outside the window going from roof to roof and he grins and then looks to Striker. "In your wet dreams, you honky-tonk GOAAAAT!"
Lincoln smashes through the window and uses his claws to knock away the bullet. "Fucking traitor of an imp, I knew you couldn't be trusted!" The boy growls.
Striker snickers and hisses. "Yeah, good observation, overlord!" He lunges at the boy and the duo clash on the floor, with Lincoln punching him in the face, and Striker tries to strangle him with his tail, but this just angers the boy and he notices something, he knocks away the rifle and it shoots the sickle off of EveLynn. She then grabs her sickle and attacks.
EveLynn goes onto the back of the imp and he struggles holding both kids off of him, and he even grabs his rifle again. Blitzo swings his foot under Striker and trips him. Blitzo kicks Striker away, causing him to drop his rifle, which Moxxie grabs.
Blitzo races toward Striker and knock his head with a lamp, and then EveLynn slams the lamp onto his head again and Lincoln sweeps the legs of Striker. But Striker lands punches at Lincoln's face and swipes his tail at him, but the kid dodges and kicks him away.
Blitzo uses his tail to toss Striker to the side. Moxxie fires a warning shot near Striker's head. Blitzo and Moxxie close in on Striker and Blitzo pulls out his pistol. But then Striker grabs a pistol from under the bed and he shoots the ceiling and Blitzo is covered by debris.
Striker then grabs EveLynn by her throat and he uses his tail and he throws her across the room and she's knocked out, then grabs Lincoln by his leg and slams him to the wall, but then the boy tries to slash at him, only to be shot in the left arm and he yells from the pain.
Blitzo sees this and his grandson is shot in his left foot, and then Striker steps on it and points the pistol to his head. "See, this is what fucking happens when you team with the strong and look weak, and this kid has been…." But Blitzo gets himself out of the debris and he tackles Striker and punches him.
But then Striker kicks him in the groin and then pins him to the wall with his pistol pointed to the boss's face. "I still think it's embarrassing. You're wastin' a lot of potential relyin' on a weak little—"
Moxxie fires a shot near Striker. "You gonna finish that fucking sentence... pard'ner?"
Striker hisses at the imp. "Vermin." He then sees EveLynn get up and she has a sickle ready to attack and Lincoln stumbles and he manages to get up and he pulls out a pistol from his jacket.
Moxxie snickers and readies to shoot. "Who's weak now, BITCH-?!" Moxxie gets slammed against the wall as Loona opens the door and enters the room.
Loona is not alone and Luna is with her. We're here, what?" But then Moxxie drops the sniper rifle and it shoots the pistol off of Striker's hand and it drops and shoots Lincoln to his other leg and he goes down. "Lincoln!"
Striker narrows his eyes and uses the distraction to kick Blitzo's face and then he knocks EveLynn away before she attacks and he even dodges Luna going after him, Vark tries to engage, but he makes him bite onto the bed. He heads toward the open window. "Maybe you'll get me next time... Blitzy."
Striker escapes through the window. Blitzo points his pistol outside, looking at the celebration in worry.
(Later in the day.)
All of them are ready to head back home, Loona and Luna tend to the wounds that Lincoln took, and thankfully they brought some of the healing potion Velvet made and it's gonna be a long while till he is back on his feet, so he needs crutches or a wheel chair.
Blitzo sees this and feels bad for what happened and also helps, and he's also pissed at what went down when Striker attacked and tried to kill them. EveLynn and Lucy also help out.
Meanwhile, Lin checks on Millie's arm and leg and she seems unhappy and so is her husband. Moxxie struggles to fit clothes in a suitcase, then EveLynn helps him. "I can't believe you let him trap you, Millie! Haven't we taught you better?"
Millie is annoyed by this. "I was seein' red, Ma! And he was slippery!"
Lin scoffs. "Excuses! You're better than that, Mildred!" Moxxie closes the trunk and marches over to Millie's parents. So does Lucy and EveLynn.
"Y'know, she protected me." then Moxxie drawls. "And maybe I'm not a strong beefy dickhead," then he speaks in his normal voice. "But Millie has the strength enough for both of us! You two are getting on her case about being hurt by a psychopath you hired?! Shaaaaame on you!"
Lucy also agrees. "You made this shit go down, you two hired some imp you didn't know much about, and I get that you didn't care because of this country life, also I am regretting ever coming back here!"
EveLynn then speaks. "Also, you do realize that if this did happen, then suspicion would be raised and then an outbreak of war would go down and…. Well, Wrath wouldn't last long in a fight against a massive royal demonic army." She crosses her arms. "Also, I don't wanna come back here, either."
This makes Lin and Joe surprised, and almost speechless.
Lucy then talks again. "By the way, you two going at our dad like that doesn't make you two look like good grandparent figures for us and is just as annoying as that prick boss when he spies on them. He is a good dad, and because of his choice with our mom, they took us in and I wouldn't have gotten the best family and reunited with former family!"
"Our mom is strong with her own skills, and she manages to make better ones to ensure she can do the job right, and even I make my own skills in fighting and not go for the all-in offensive like they do. We have our own things that make us unique and not the same as anyone else's."
EveLynn also nods. "His strength is not from his muscle, it's through his brain and I for one look up to him at the way he can tactically make something as possible as my former brother over there. I relied on strength, but the brain helps too and both win wars, not alone to win but they'd end up dead, like how you would be one day."
The parents of Millie gasp hearing those words, from their own human grandchildren and Millie is amazed. Moxxie smiles hearing this. "Thanks girls." He then looks to the parents. "Well? Anything to say to me and my daughters?" He also crosses his arms alongside Lucy and EveLynn.
Blitzo hears this and now he's rethinking his weird ways when it comes to spying his employees, and he can feel the glares from Lincoln, Luna, Loona, Vark and Edmund, and even the demonic wyvern growls at the farm family, he also likes Moxxie.
Joe glares at Moxxie, curtly nods and leaves. But he does look back at the girls, and he feels disappointed with himself, and even his wife feels distraught from the words of the girls she called her grandkids, like she lost a big chunk of fucking trust.
Millie is surprised by this. "Wooow! He nodded! He's never acknowledged your input before!" Millie stands up on crutches and walks away.
Moxxie then asks. "Soooo, is that progress?"
Millie nods and she looks to Lucy and EveLynn. "And you two, thank you for saying those words and talking back to my parents, also we're not coming back here. I promise." They all walk back to their vehicles and they drive off with Edmund flying high in the sky.
They don't know that Joe and Lin come back outside and watch them drive off, and both feel guilty for what they did, and they need to talk to them again, and apologize for what they did. They now see that Millie has her own life and is doing her own thing, with the imp and kids she loves.
(Many hours later, somewhere else.)
We got to a sign that reads "Hideaway Motel Vacancy. The Guy That Tried 2 Kill U Def Isn't Here." Striker is on a bed, talking on the phone. "Huh... I failed to kill the target at the festival. But don't worry, ma'am... It won't happen again."
(Ars Goetia Palace.)
Stella drums her fingers on the table. "It better not! I want this cheating prick dead! I don't care who you have to go through! MAKE IT HAPPEN! I want him dead!"
Stella is sitting at a dinner table with Stolas and Octavia. Stolas is reading a book called "Imps in the Sheets", and Octavia looks to her mother with concern. 'She tends to say these things, I know they don't seem like a legit thing, but I worry about her.'
Stolas does pause from reading and looks to his wife in concern, but Stella is furious. She then hears the voice of Striker on the phone. "Understood." She then hands up the phone and goes back to dinner.
(Back with Striker.)
Striker twirls the gun in his hand. "I'll get him next time." Striker chuckles evilly as he turns off the light. His yellow eyes glow in the darkness to rattlesnake hisses.
To be continued folks!
A/N: That ends the whole "Harvest Moon Festival." I still have to wait till I see the next episode, and that might be the big comeback of a lot of enemies Blitzo has faced, and it could get intense as it might be accommodated into this story, it's gonna be awesome.
Also, I am grateful for the help from "Texasranger1996." He came to inform me of some stuff that could work out, just as the previous chapter, and then we have the date he setup for the whole thing. Thanks again man. Leave a review and tell me what you all think of this folks!
Date made: 8/1/21 – 8/2/21.
