Helluva Loud Adventures.
"The Dream Alternate: 13."
(I.M.P Headquarters, Imp City. Pride Ring.)
The date now, is around December 1 and panic is brought forth as all demons and sinners in hell are running for their lives, while the 666 news are preparing for the aftermath of what is to come, the announcement was made, at an unexpected time and the cleansing is about to commence and tons of demons scramble to hide.
Most are willing to die and not be there anymore, but some wish to slaughter the exterminators coming, and they are armed for this shit, but chances they might not survive. If they are lucky enough, then they might live to tell the tale of their fight with one of god's angels.
But a vehicle is driving fast down the high way. A lot of other demons are getting hit and the driver is unstoppable and prepared to keep going and not stopping, and the driver if Blitzo. "Move aside or get fucking killed!" But then he is handed the swear jar and he places two bucks inside. "Damn it."
Loona is in the backseats and she is holding all of her adopted human kids, to make sure that they don't get loose and fall off if they crash. "Blitzo, how far?!"
Blitzo then nearly rams another car. "We're not too far, hang on shortcut!" He makes his way down a one way street and he runs over a sinner and then an imp. "We have to make it, and fast!"
Lori is confused and sees Moxxie and Millie with their guns and looking to the sky for any signs of trouble and then she asks. "Mommy are the angels gonna come and take us away?" This also concerns the others and Luna hugs Lincoln close and Leni does the same as she hugs Lynn.
Loona sighs. "Everything will be alright, we won't be taken by them and if they do come for you girls, then I am going to tear them all in half!" She then calms down and hugs her children and they return the embrace, and this cute scene makes the others awe.
But then Blitzo continues to drive like a mad demon, and he uses his tail to take a photo of this moment. Leni looks out the window and she sees the chaos going on. "This place is so scary, are they all gonna be alright mommy?"
Loona sighs. "We're not sure, and we cannot be able to help them all. All we can do is get to the palace."
Luan then asks. "You mean, we're gonna be in a castle, mommy?"
Loona cringes and so do the others and then Blitzo speaks. "Well, it isn't a castle. But royalty lives in there, and they're kinda good friends of ours. Well, Loonie's friend knows us, and the other guy... Well, that's a whole different story." They continue their drive and they have to make their way out of the city and for the palace.
Then Luna asks. "Mommy, what about Velvet?"
Loona doesn't know how to respond to that, but she explains. "Velvet is gonna be fine. She might be brave, but she knows when not to mess with angels. She's gonna be okay, and we will see her again. I promise you all." She continues to hug her children, comforting them in this dark moment for everyone in hell.
(Ars Goetia Palace.)
We now arrive to the palace from which one of the royal demons reside, the Ars Goetia family, and the family is waiting by the gates for the arrival of their special guests. Stolas, Stella and Octavia.
Stolas Ars Goetia.
Stolas is an anthropomorphic owl demon. He is tall, with an owlish beak and two pairs of narrow red eyes with no visible irises or pupils. He has blue and dark blue feathers with white and gray accents. He has a tail of blue feathers with darker blue tips that reach his feet, and a lighter gray-blue puff of fur on his chest. From the neck up, his feathers fade from blue to darker blue, and his face stands out in a white heart shape.
His arms and legs are black, and instead of shoes, his limbs are tipped with owl claws. He is often seen wearing a feathery tophat with a regal gold crown on its front. He also wears a red tunic with six golden buttons, gray trousers, and a plush burgundy surcoat with a white fur collar and puffed striped sleeves.
Stolas appears to be narcissistic, decadent, exigent, and has a regal quality about himself. His house appears quite large containing many pictures of himself along with his clothing around him and he complains of being lonely. Also not unlike the refined aristocrats of old, Stolas engages in extramarital affairs with those of lower social class, such as the imp Blitzo, without apparent concern from his wife. However, in contrast to his normal regal behavior Stolas has a disturbing quality of becoming extremely profane and graphic when discussing his sexual interests. It is unknown if this is a general trait that he displays with all whom he discusses his sexuality or solely a facet of his relationship with Blitzo.
As with many demons, and the denizens of Hell in general, Stolas has a highly questionable moral compass. Being a regular client of Blitzo and his service, Stolas is responsible for ordering the deaths of mortals to advance his own agenda. Among other unknown hits, Stolas arranged for the death of at least one person trying to spread awareness of global warming, not because he did not acknowledge its existence, but in hopes of causing more overall deaths on Earth. He is the father of Octavia and the husband of Stella, and he is the one who helped make I.M.P.
Stella Ars Goetia.
Stella is a tall, white avian demon with curvaceous proportions. Stella has long, hair-like feathers that fade to grey at the tips and a large gray stripe on her head. She has a short pink beak, and long curved eyelashes. She has pink markings underneath her eyes, which themselves have red sclera with light pupils. She wears a white dress with puffed sleeves and feather trimming, along with black accents. She is seen wearing a crown, and has painted nails underneath her black gloves.
Stella seems to be very temperamental about her husband's infidelity to the point of verbally and almost physically attacking him while screaming, breaking a lot of possessions and even assaulting an imp butler. However, she seems to be more baffled by said infidelity specifically happening with an imp, a demon of lower position; she is also incensed that Stolas spoke of his inability to go to a motel to consummate it. Given Octavia's indifferent attitude towards her aggressive outburst, it can be assumed Stella has these outbursts on a frequent basis. She is the wife of Stolas and the mother of Octavia and she really, really hates Blitzo.
Octavia Ars Goetia.
An adolescent avian demon, Octavia is lanky and unkempt with a coat of gray feathers. Her eyes are also pink with bright pupils, while below each of her eyes are two tear-like streaks. Octavia bears traits from both of her parents: she has her father's white mask-like face and light pupils with her mother's shaggy, scruffy hair feathers. For clothing, Octavia wears a pink glittery dress, a dark feather shawl around her shoulders, pink arm warmers with stars on them, and a pale tiara along with a black beanie hat. She also accessorizes with a pink choker around her neck.
Matching her gothic appearance, Octavia's attitude is that of a cynical, stark teenager. She favors morbid topics like listening to and writing depressing emotional songs and collecting taxidermy of monstrous animals. Octavia is generally of few words, as she naturally prefers her privacy over opening up. Negative, pessimistic, and sarcastic to everyone else, Octavia's perpetually dour mood deters her from others. Her parents are Stolas and Stella.
The entire palace has been cleared of the loyal imp servants of the family, and the whole place has also been secured by a powerful incantation, a spell from the Grimoire of Stolas, and he is looking forward to what Blitzo and the others have to show them, Octavia is also excited to see the children, but Stella is confused and she doesn't seem pleased by what they are doing today.
Stella sees the skies starting to crack, almost like something is going to breach through the veil between hell and the world of earth, and she scoffs. "This all had better be here by now, also this should be worth something, right? Someone tell me what the fuck are we waiting for."
Octavia sighs. "Mum, calm down and..." The van arrives and parks with ease, at a halting screech. "Wow. Too close."
The doors open and Blitzo comes out wearing shades and has his sniper rifle. "Moxx, Mills! Take scouting position and prepare to watch out for trouble, we got 10 minutes till all fucking hell comes to bring down, well when all of heaven comes to..." He sees the swear jar and he sighs and drops some coins. "Alright, let's move!"
Stolas watches Blitzo race off into the palace, and Moxxie follows with his duffle bag of guns and then Millie with her melee weapons, such as an axe and a sword. "Well, that are acting like bodyguards. So that is a good thing, we don't have the best well-armed guards around here."
Stella scoffs and she watches as her daughter, Octavia goes to the van. "Loona, kids!" The doors open and the Ars Goetia couple gasp at what they see. The Hellhound, Loona and with her are human children. Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn and Lincoln.
The couple are confused, while Octavia is touched to see the little kids, and then Loona carries the stuff. "Kids, come on! Inside the palace." The girls nod and they follow the hellhound, this all confuses the Ars Goetia, and then Loona looks to Stolas as she walks by. "Sorry, sir. They're with me, we can explain when we get inside."
Stolas and Stella are confused, but Stella goes inside with her daughter, and so Stolas uses his book and he manages to make a powerful barrier to defend the palace, but then he stops and he uses his book again and he makes another barrier. "There, just to be safe." He then uses his book again and the statues nearby slowly move and walk around the palace, as powerful stone guards.
Inside, the Ars Goetia couple are in the Family Den and they watch as the children are sitting on the fancy couches and looking around the place. Loona hands Lincoln his plush horse and wolf and he hugs them both, then he sees Octavia and he giggles and reaches for her. "Looks like someone wants to make a new friend, go ahead via."
Octavia sits next to Luna, and she sees the girl hugging her brother, but she looks to Octavia with fascination. "Hello there, little one. I am a friend of your mums and I am honored to meet you all." Luna then let's her brother go to her and Octavia lets the infant sit on her lap and he giggles at the way she looks and Octavia smiles. "Adorable." She boops his nose and this makes him laugh.
Blitzo comes into the room and he explain to everyone. "Alright, so Moxxie and Millie have the palace secured and no way can some angel come in and do some damage, and we have enough weapons to take down anything that gets through. How're the kids?"
Loona nods. "Doing fine." They watch as Lori, Leni, Luan and Lynn also look to Octavia, and then they look to Stolas and Stella, and this is the first time for these little kids to be seeing other demons and not sinners. Loona sighs and she looks to the royal couple. "We have a lot to explain, don't we?"
Stolas nods. "Indeed, I mean why aren't these children with their actual human parents?"
Blitzo then explains that one, and he explains a whole lot of stuff and all of this puts horror and fear in the hearts of Stolas and Stella, and then they look to the children and see how scared and upset they are, and Luna wipes away her tears and she holds her baby brother's hand.
Stella doesn't show any emotion, but she seems confused and then she asks. "And where are the parents now?"
Loona is stern when she replies. "Dead, and then dead again. We found them, and we killed them. No mercy."
Stolas then recalls. "So, that is why Blitzo asked me to try and find them? Rita and Lynnard, they are the ones hiding in Pentagram City, the reason why you wanted to know where they are, isn't that right?"
Blitzo nods. "Yeah, that sums about the whole thing about the right part. Look we didn't wanna..."
Stella then gets up and she sits next to Leni and Lori, and they both look to the wife of Stolas and Leni smiles. "You look pretty, like a lovely bird."
Stella smiles hearing this and then she looks towards Loona. "Stay as long as you want, to make sure they are safe, and you made the right call to take them in. Even though she took the response to be with you." She looks to Lori and pets her head, and the little girl giggles and this makes Stella smile. Reminds her of Octavia long ago.
Stolas and Octavia are surprised to hear this from Stella, but they are also happy to hear this. It also means that her spiteful nature might not be around longer, then Stella looks to Blitzo and Stolas. "We must speak, alone." She then leaves the family den, with her husband and Blitzo following to discuss some things.
Loona then looks to Octavia and she grabs a book from the shelf and she reads to them a lovely story about the constellations and how amazing they are, and all the girls are fascinated to hear this, while Lincoln and Lynn yawn and snuggle close to the daughter of Stolas.
Loona smiles hearing this and seeing her children already taking an interest with her friend Octavia. 'They're all doing well, and that is a good thing. Now all we need to do is try to outlast this whole fucking day. I hope nothing goes wrong, I don't want my kids getting taken away from me.'
To be continued in the next chapter folks!
