Helluva Loud Adventures.
"Welcome to New Orleans part 2."

(December 12. Somewhere in New Orleans, Louisiana.)

The day is set and made, and right now the whole team is gathering what they need, to face the threat that they seek to take down and see the cause.

Lincoln checks his hellhound claws and then he puts on his fingerless gloves, then he grabs some guns and even an assault rifle, and then he grabs the chains he packed, and it has a steel rose shaped claw on the end and he smirks at the way they look.

Luna has her dual pistols ready and she even has some knives and just like her brother, she also checks on her own claws if they are sharp enough and Lucy is checking on the daggers she has, and grabs her spell book from Harriet, and Delilah is armed with some guns and she checks her combat skills for close engagements, since she did go to karate classes back when she was alive.

Velvet opens her other bag and she smiles at the weapons she packed, axes, swords and a large knife. She even packs smaller knives and has them hidden in her stockings, and Loona grabs the duffle bag with guns and she even has her own dual pistols locked and loaded.

Lillian even grabs her pistol and then she grabs her combat knives and some pepper spray and a taser, and she hands one to Lucy. "A fail safe emergency weapon, kid." She then grabs her camera, recorder and some snacks in her bag. "Alright, let's roll on out of here, folks."

They all nod and then Lincoln takes a moment to look to his phone. 'Soon, they'll see the message and then they might inform the Radio Demon and his beloved.' He then follows the others and then they take they're leave from the apartment, they need to get some answers.

(An old plantation, somewhere south of the country.)

We now go to this old plantation far from the City, and the crew headed there is already sneaking around. Loona uses binoculars and she scouts the area. "Nothing, no guards and nothing else. Also, some voodoo doll warnings."

Lucy sees this as well. "Those could be marked as cursed artifacts and meant to take down anyone going near, but they look withered away, which means they are not strong or dangerous, much."

"Still dangerous." velvet then grabs something from her bag, a potion. "Fire in the fucking hole!" She throws the potion in the vile and it hits the ground and blows up, and then the green mist enters the dolls and they turn to ashes. "Curses, cursed up."

Lincoln then growls. "Let's move!" They then race towards the place, and they look around for any traps. They rush forward and see no other dolls or traps and it looks like the place has had a little too much plant life growing around, and hasn't been tended to for a long time.

They see the plantation itself looks all busted up and not well maintained, almost like this is poor management and cleaning. "Dudes, something doesn't seem right" said Luna. They all go to the side of the large doors and they see that the door is not locked, and Lillian gives the word.

"We kick it down on three..." They all stand back. "One... Two..."

"Three!" Velvet kicks it down and then she swings her giant sword around and she yells. "Where's the sugar and the cinnamon?!"

Lillian is confused and she looks to Delilah. "Sorry, she's crazy and delusional and another reason why she is..."

"An Overlord?" They all see someone walking down the halls, and he doesn't look like the figure they seek. "Yeah, you know I kinda figured when someone else would be here, and I sensed such sinner and demonic presence when the portal magic showed up, and you're all them folks from Royal Woods, Michigan, right?"

Lincoln then asks. "Gerome H. Killarn I presume?" He then readies his pistols.

"Yes, I am. But there is no need to pull that up kid, I don't think I am the same... Not anymore." The man then shows himself and they are shocked by what they see.

Gerome H. Killarn.
Current state: He looks like he is now 89, and frail, wrinkly and yet able to walk, but with the use of a cane or walker. He is wearing white and blue striped polo, brown pants with a brown belt and black shoes. The hair on him is gone, but he has some hair on the sides of his head.

"In the flesh, the elderly flesh." Gerome then takes his pills and drinks his water. "So, welcome to my home and I am amazed at how you shut down my traps and cursed dolls, I didn't have the time to change them... In fact, I don't think I ever will. Come on in, I don't have anything to serve for snacks, just my tea."

All of them are confused and they follow the old man, but they keep their weapons with them, and they see the living room he has contains a lot of stuff and most look stolen. But they see on the walls are portraits of so many things that he has done, and the friends he had made and lost.

Lincoln then sees the portrait on the fireplace, the one of Alastor and Lady G Valentine and then he asks. "So, what the heck is this doing here?"

Gerome sits on his chair, and he sighs. "My biggest regret and mistake. Hell, I know I did that to get my revenge and make sure they would never meet, to have their Happily Forever Hellbound or something that they keep jabbering about."

Delilah then asks. "So, you were trying to keep them apart, even after they were separated. Wait, did you kill Alastor?"

Gerome looks to her confused. "First off, I did not kill Alastor. He was my good friend, and we both were in the whole killing other folks stick. He had a hard life and so did I during childhood. Now, I did keep Alastor and Georgia from meeting in hell, something I did because I was upset."

"I guess you can say, I was jealous of them and they're love, and no... I didn't love her, sure I was attracted, but I was just so annoyed. She took my best friend from me, she took my partner in crime and he always stuck by her, and so I didn't want them to meet, even in hell. That idea came after I heard of Alastor's death."

Then Loona asks. "Then, this whole thing you had was to just keep them away so you would meet him in hell one day?"

Gerome nods. "Yes, it is true. Surprised that you guys got your answers? I kinda knew you'd wanna know, I figured after the whole news about the demons and sinners in Royal Woods, and then I saw that Alastor, my good friend is there and looking more dashing as ever as he did long ago."

Lillian then asks. "So, Alastor was like a brother to you?"

Gerome nods. "Yes, he was. I did what I had to, after he died. I wanted to meet him in hell, so we can rule it together and do whatever the hell we want, but things went south bad real fast, because of the curse I inflicted onto Georgia and Alastor. A damned curse that would, keep them away. But it broke."

Lucy is confused. "Wait, what? How, how did it get broken?"

Gerome then explains to them. "It was many years ago, around the 1920's, and that time when Alastor died. I knew Georgia would try something dumb, and so while she went to kill so many people to find the murderer of Alastor, I was dabbling in my own studies and I found one. I made a deal with an overlord. Apparently, one overlord that folks can summon for a reasonable bargain."

"The deal I made, is that he will keep Georgia at bay and kept someplace else, and in return, I would sell my soul to the sinner and then become his servant for all eternity, but I had a plan to one day counter his plots and be freed, but then he made a loop hole after Lady G's sinner soul was sent to Lust Ring and not Pride Ring, and that loop hole was... Was..."

"Living for as long as it takes" said Luna. "So that this overlord can get the drop on ya one day and then send you to hell?"

Gerome nods. "Indeed. So, he kept watching over me and waited for the time to strike and send me to hell, and all I have been doing was living my life and killing folks I didn't like, and I kept making my voodoo magic stronger than before and keeping myself safe and sound."

"I can't age and heck, no one can kill me either, this was the damned loophole curse I was stuck in, but then came the moment when I began to age quickly, and steadily, and that meant that the overlord was dead, and that the curse was shattered and that means Lady G and Alastor could meet again."

Then Velvet recalls. 'Huh, I guess this shit was my doing. I did slaughter some Overlords after the fall of Val and Vox. Dang, looks like I had a hand to play for Alastor and Lady G to be together. Awesome! Alastor owes me fucking big time for this shit!'

Loona then puts her guns away. "So, we won't do anything ruthless to this old fucker? Damn."

Lincoln goes over and asks the old man. "Do you regret what you did?"

Gerome nods and he sheds some tears. "Y-Yes, I did... I do regret doing what I did, I just... I finally understood what it meant, when I fell in love and then... Then I lost her, to rape and even though I did find the rapist and killed him, I was just... Nothing felt the same, and I wanted to apologize to my two old friends, for what I did. I regret everything I have done. I hoped that one day, I could have the chance to apologize to Alastor and Lady G and accept what punishment they have for me... I am just... sorry."

They all look to the man crying, and they can see that every other portrait of his friendship, that was proof enough that he regrets what he did and this is something Lincoln needs to inform to the Radio Demon and the Hell's Canary.

(Moments Later.)

The group walks out of the plantation, and then they all think about what has gone down and then Lucy speaks. "Looks like Alastor and Lady G will be told about this, and then we'll need to see what they have to do about this stuff, right?"

Loona sighs. "We're not so sure, but we're gonna need some proof about this. Because we still don't know what the hell they're gonna do when they do make it to this man's house."

Lillian then shows them all the recorder. "I recorded the whole thing and not one detail out of place, and by the time we make it back, we can be able to make a copy and then you guys can have one. I wanna know what the Radio Demon and Hell's Canary are gonna do, I have heard about that lady."

Delilah smirks. "Well, we're gonna need to make it back to..."

"If you all make it back!" they see two figures they know and hate. Agent Number one and Agent Number two, the leaders of the organization known as D.H.O.R.K.S. "We're here to take you all down for good!" They both have shock net guns.

Agent Number one then speaks and shoots her weapon, but Velvet dodges and it goes into a bush and someone is shocked and coming out is one of their own and he is shocked and down. "Well, that's shit!" said Luna. She then shoots her pistols and the gun of Agent Number one is destroyed.

"That's not gonna weaken us!" said Agent Number two. "Everyone, all agents. Get them now!"

They then see that some more agents appear from the trees, bushes, over the walls and under the grass, and a nearby goat explodes and reveals agents and they are all once again armed with... Well, this looks familiar, Weapons from the Japanese Edo period.

Lillian is confused. "You guys know these folks?"

Loona scoffs. "Yeah, we know who these assholes are. These dumb fuckers are none other than the same demon hunter fuckers who got their asses whooped by us last time, and then we got help from royalty." she then pulls out her Scythe from her duffle bag.

Lincoln smirks. "Well, this seems all too fucking familiar!" He then shoots two of the agents. "Let's take them down!" They all nod and all of them make the attack on all the agents.

Luna dodges some incoming katana strikes, but she makes them trip and she shoots them both on the heads, and then she slices the heads off and she throws them and this stuns the other two agents coming, and then she goes in and slices their heads off with their own katanas. "Too easy!"

Lucy dodges some of the attacks and she uses her book and the three agents are floating and they're weapons also float and stab them so many times. Then she throws her knife and it impales a woman who was gonna throw her shurikens. Then Lucy goes over to get the dagger back. "This is nice."

Delilah closes her eyes and she outmaneuvers all the agents and she stabs them back with the katana she grabbed, but then she grabs the kunabo from one of the agents and she slams a lot of agents and even breaks they're heads with such brute force and in the end she stands atop a pile of dead agents, crane style.

Lillian is just shooting with her pistol, and then she steps aside and she stabs one of the agents on the face and he screams in pain. "Sorry, but you went near me." She then kicks him away and the man tosses his katana and it hits another agent and they're both dead. "Huh, did not see that one coming."

Velvet, well she is snickering and her eyes are glowing. "All of you, against one little me? Now, this is a fucking good fucking time!" She then spins her axe around her and the agents going in to attack have their heads sliced off, then Velvet spins and begin to move like a top around the fight. She keeps ripping through so many agents, then she leaps into the air.

"Here comes, Velvet!" She slams her axe to the ground and she slices off the head of an agent, but she pierces right between the agent and he is sliced in half, and so are the five agents behind him. Velvet snickers and breathes heavily. "I wanna fucking kill you all!" She then laughs maniacally and she charges with her large knife, and all the other agents run for their lives, while some try to fight her.

Loona and Lincoln both tag team, and so Loona trips one of the agents and she shoots him in the head, then Lincoln goes over her and shoots two more coming to attack her. Loona then grabs the chain from one of the agents and then Lincoln throws his own chain. They both grab onto the agents they have on the chains. "Get over here!"

They pull hard and both duck down and then use their claws to rip their heads off, and then Loona bites off the head of another agent and then she throws a katana at another, and Lincoln goes under an agent and he uses his guns and shoots from below and then he kicks a rock onto the face of another agent and then he bites onto the agents neck and rips her head off.

But then Loona pushes her son. "Watch it!" She even dodges the incoming shock net. "Fucking assholes!" She then charges at one of them, and they both go melee with their own katanas, but then Loona ducks and Lincoln comes in and punches them both in the face.

Loona then grabs the back of their pants and she gives both Agent one and Agent two one helluva wedgie. "Like it? Then get fucking lost!" She then ties them together and she spins them around above her, and then she throws them away and the duo hit the nearby water tower, hard.

But then they see more agents are coming. "You have gotta be fucking kidding me?" said Lincoln. "Well, looks like we got one helluva fucking fight on our hands."

Luna then readies the submachine gun she brought with her. "Fucking hell yeah, brother."

They're all ready to fight, but then the metal fences around the walls are now beginning to come to life, and they become large and sharp metal hands and then they grab the rest of the agents and they begin to impale them, the ground then deploys spores that are poisoning the agents and they soon get killed.

The others are confused seeing this and the rest of the agents are freaked out and then Agent one yells. "We're getting fucked, everyone retreat!" The helicopters arrive and they all make it to the choppers and fly off, but then the metallic hand grabs one of the trees and throws it and the chopper is hit and explodes on the ground.

The others are confused and then Velvet asks. "What the fuck just happened? What was all that shit about?!"

They then see the one who did all of this is at the door. "Gerome?!"

The old man smirks. "You're welcome, also tell Alastor and Lady G about me. I understand if they don't wanna see me again, now get the hell off of my property." He then goes back into his home and all the bodies of the agents are sucked into the ground.

All of them didn't see this coming, and then Lillian asks. "Should we say that we're grateful for helping us?"

To be continued in the next chapter folks!
