Helluva Loud Adventures.
"Striker Strikes once again."

(June 25. Richest Cup, Pride Ring. Hell.)

We are starting here, and this is where both Stolas and Stella Ars Goetia are located, sipping some tea, and also enjoying some coffee, and they don't seem pleased, because the brother of Stella called them to come here, and his name is Andrealphus.

Andrealphus.

He is a member of the Ars Goetia, the brother of Stella and, by extension, the brother-in-law of Stolas. Andrealphus is an avian demon with white feathers, turquoise eyes and beak, and periwinkle hair. He wears a bright blue fur vest with a navy blue undershirt. He also wears a turquoise colored crown and a white cloak with his tail feathers behind him.

Befitting his position of royalty, Andrealphus is flamboyant, snooty, and haughty. While similar to his sister in this way, Andrealphus presents himself as level-headed and calculating, knowing when to act and how in order to manipulate the situation to his favor.

They are both glad about one thing, that they chose to leave Octavia out of this, and she is at the moment on earth and enjoying her time hanging out with some friends there, normally the Young Mortician's Club.

Andrealphus then speaks. "So, how have things been going with the two of you?" He then looks to Stella. "Dear sister, you are looking as attractive as always, and always as ravishing as usual..." then he looks annoyed to Stolas. "And how about you, imp cheater? What have you been up to lately?" He grins making those words.

Those words, annoy Stolas. Stella also feels her husband's angered emotions, and doesn't wanna be here. Stella then intervenes. "Well, if you must know, things have changed for us both and everything is no longer the feeling of a stupid arranged marriage."

Stolas nods and smiles. "Indeed. We just needed some time, and learn to truly get to know each other once again, and become a true royal and good family." But then Andrealphus scoffs, and this annoys Stolas, and so he asks him. "So, what nonsense did you bring us here besides insulting us?"

Andrealphus smirks. "Why, I am mostly mocking you..." This makes Stolas growl, and Stella intervenes.

"Brother, stop that."

Andrealphus snickers. "Come now, dear sister. It was just a joke." But he sees the mean glare from his sister, and he sighs. "You have changed, a little too much." He then calms down and he explains. "Alright, now the sole reason as to why I have invited to both to come here, is because of the many things that I have heard that you all have done, and all started from the Silva Hound children."

That one is something both Stolas and Stella didn't wanna hear from him. "So, I was wondering if there is a chance for me to interact with the little future overlords of Pride Ring. Because, after all we are Ars Goetia, and as such it seems right that you introduce me to your friends and perhaps we can come to some form of arrangements alongside them. Doesn't that sound like a swell idea?"

Stolas is about to object, but Stella beats him to it. "Not going to ever happen, Andrealphus. The Siva Hounds are our allies, and friends, but they are also under watch by Lucifer, and even Paimon Ars Goetia is alright with this. You recall Paimon? The father of Stolas?" she grins, and so does Stolas.

Andrealphus didn't like to hear this and he seems pissed off. But then he has this small snicker, and before anything else can be said, the glass of the place breaks and they see a cowboy imp and he has blessed revolvers. Stolas and Stella are alarmed by this. "Well hello there, pretty birds."

Stolas's eyes glow and he is ready to attack, but then Stolas is ensnared with blessed rope. "No!" Then he is dragged towards Striker.

"Stolas!" Stella tries to go after him, but then Striker takes one of the tables and he throws it at her, he then shoots his revolver and Stella is shot on the left arm, and she falls to the ground, but she tries to get back up. "Release my husband you piece of shit!"

"Sorry, bitch. I don't listen to former clients." Striker then leaps away with the tied up Stolas, and he gets onto his horse and he rides off.

Stella is left in shock at what just happened, and she doesn't even notice her brother leaving, or hear him speak. "We shall discuss more of whatever else, next time my dear lovely sister."

Stella then uses her cellphone, and she needs to contact some help. "Come on, pick up!" she then leaves the café and she heads for the carriage, but she sees the wheels have been destroyed and the demonic horses are gone. "Fuck!"

(Somewhere in Sloth Ring.)

We see the I.M.P van is driving through the high way, and not driving like someone is on the wheel, and the one driving is Blitzo, and he looks back to see how the others are doing.

The hellhound, Loona is trying to calm down her daughter, and her son Lincoln is doing the same thing, Luna looks kinda nervous and also flinching at the very thought of what she has to face, and this kinda confuses them since they have been fighting through so much and even some fears, and yet this is something they don't tend to see from Luna.

Loona then speaks. "Calm down, Lunes. Look, everything is going to be alright, even though I went through it before and beat the shit out of the doctor and Blitz."

Blitz then speaks. "I remember that shit, and even the doctor too. Took me almost a year to get an actual appointment, and all because of some dumb ass nurse who can't even read right. Look, this is going to be fast and then we're gonna be..."

Just then they here the phone of Blitz yell, and that is his ringtone. Lincoln speaks. "You gonna answer you're screams?"

Blitz answers the phone. "Yeah, what is it?" He puts it on speaker.

Stella Ars Goetia. "Thank the Rings you answered, where are you now?!"

Blitz is confused and he answers. "We're in Sloth Ring and headed for St. An's Hospital. Luna, and I mean my granddaughter is at the right age now, and she needs to get her hellbies shot, we made an appointment last year, and now we gotta go and take her there. What the fuck is going on?"

Stella Ars Goetia. "I am using Stolas' cellphone right now. My husband has been kidnapped! Stolas was taken by Striker, and I tried to stop him, but he got away! I have his Grimoire and for some reason I cannot open a portal to his location!"

Blitz, Lincoln, Luna and Loona are jaws dropped and shocked to hear this, and then Lincoln speaks. "I think they might be in Wrath Ring and the reason why you can't use the grimoire is because he might be using some blessed or angelic to keep anything from coming to him. We could get Moxxie and Millie to come along, but they're on a one week vacation with their kids. Perhaps I can do this and..."

Loona speaks sternly. "No to fucking way are you doing that alone. I know you have been training hard and improving, but that doesn't mean..."

"I'll go with him!" Velvette comes out from the back, this startles them and Blitz almost loses control, but he regains control. "I will go and help Lincoln save Stolas from Striker."

They all look to Velvette confused, and then Luna asks. "Dude, when did you get here, and how long have you been hiding there?"

Blitz sighs and he speaks. "Look, whatever the fuck works will have to do. Velvette, you and Lincoln go and find Striker. Chances he took him to some hideout in Wrath Ring, save Stolas and bring him back to safety, but if he is badly wounded then bring him to where we are now."

They stop at St. An's Hospital, and they head out. Loon escorts her daughter inside, and Blitz tosses the keys to Velvette. "You guys go and fucking handle that prick. We got to get Luna a little prick to get herself alright before she turns out bad." Luna didn't like the sound of that, and Loona feels annoyed hearing what Blitz said.

Blitz then speaks to Stella. "You're royal queen-ness, stay at your castle, or wherever Octavia is. Get Tannins and Athena, or someone to help track down Lincoln and Velvette's location, to provide some help to take down and/or maybe kill Striker, got it?"

Stella Ars Goetia. "Alright, alright. I will do that, and thank you."

They could hear the distress and panic in the voice of Stella Ars Goetia, and so Blitz hangs up and he follows Loona and Luna into the Hospital, and Luna looks back with fear, but she sees the comforting smile from her brother, and he gives her the thumbs up. This makes her smile and feel reassured, and she watches as Lincoln and Velvette drive off, to go and save Stolas Ars Goetia.

(Later.)

Luna is in the doctor's checkup room, and sitting on the bed, Loona trying to calm her down and then the doctor speaks. "Second time to be here, and glad to see you're hellhound daughter is doing well after her previous visit."

Loona chuckles nervously. "Yeah, about that. Doc, sorry that I did all of that and tried to..."

"Not at all" replied the doctor, and he goes through the large box of syringes. "You had your own defense mechanism, and though I have dealt with a lot of calm hellhounds who were willing to take the shot, you were your own hellhound and all is forgiven." He then picks up something. "Now, this will be quick." He has a large injection.

Loona is wide eyed, and she knows that thing. Blitz is shocked because he knows that thing, but then they all see Luna is gone. They see her trying to open the door. But then she stops and she tries to escape. She tries the windows, but they are locked, and then she backs up from the others.

Loona and Blitz go towards her, and Luna is now backed up in the corner. "Lunes, calm down. Everything will be alright, quick and painless" replied Blitz. "Let's not make things difficult." He then pulls out a net gun, he came prepared this time after what went down with Loona.

"Lunes please, we need this to happen so you don't get..." Loona tries to calm her down, but then Luna sees the doctor approach her with the large injection, and this angers her and she growls, and they all know that it is the bad signs to come.

Luna grabs the potted plant, and she throws it to Blitz, the doctor tries to rush in, but she dodges and she grabs the doctor and she throws him to the wall. Loona tries to leap over and catch her, but Luna dodges her own hellhound mother, and then Blitz has the injection and charges.

Loona tries to grab her daughter, but she is overpowered and thrown to the other side of the room. Luna then side steps Blitz, and she grabs the injection and Blitz and throws him away, and he lands next to the doctor, and the injection almost hits them both, but it between them and this shocks them both.

Loona chases after her, and it turns to two hellhounds chasing around the room, and both Blitz and the doctor sees this. "Looks like she has inherited the same thing your daughter did last time" replied the doctor.

Blitz sighs. "Yeah, that is true. But I fucking fear for what happens when Linc's time has come to get his shot. I feel like it might get ten times fucking worse."

Blitz grabs the injection and he gives chase to Luna, the doctor on the other hand is now concerned about facing Lincoln for when it is his turn.

(At Striker's Hideout.)

We see Striker drop Stolas onto some train tracks, and in his mine shaft, which is called "Striker's Mineshaft."

Stolas looks around and is confused. "So, this is where you have been hiding you little mongrel? Now, what the hell do you even want from me?"

Striker then kicks Stolas to his right side and then stomps on his chest, and keeps him pinned down to the rails. "Best you shut that bird yap of yours or you'll be biting more than you can chew."

Stolas snickers. "Oh really? And what might that be? You're dick?"

This freaks out Striker. "Wait, what?! No, what the fucking...? This is getting fucked up." He then goes to his briefcase of weapons for torture, and so Stolas looks around for some way to escape, but the blessed rope seems hard to remove.

He does notice the statue of Striker, and it looks like it is pitching a tent in the pants. "My word, looks like someone likes to touch himself. Quick question, do you touch the statue as well?"

Striker is annoyed to hear this, and he grabs something from his brief case and he snickers. "Well, let's see if you'll be talking now after I saw that imp sucking tongue and beak of yours." He has a blessed bone saw. "After all, the clients would rather want ya either dead or alive, and I think mutilated will do just fucking fine."

Stolas then tries to use his petrifying glare, but it doesn't work. "What the hell?"

Striker grins evilly. "You can try to stop me, or do some stupid ass royal bitch magic, but those ropes will make sure you ain't goin' be doin' shit. Also, this whole thing is not just about you. Since, that pretty little lady of yours already called the others to come and..." He then hears something coming, an engine sound. "Speak of the hellhound."

The ceiling breaks, and it is the I.M.P van, and it looks like it's about to go onto the rail and off the ramp... But it breaks through and lands hood first to the ground.

Seeing this confuses Stolas and Striker very much. They thought the van would take the ramp and just... Well, you get the idea.

Lincoln kicks the door open, and he is already in hellhound mode, and he growls with anger. Striker snickers. "Right on time. I get to bag me the bird, and a hellhound. Looks like the clients will be payin' me big time for this and..."

But then Velvette comes out, and she has a Minigun. "Found ya, son of a bitch. Also, we asked this imp mariachi band, and they pointed out where ya been living." She looks around. "Nice place, would look good for a nice party."

Striker is surprised to see Velvette. He didn't think she would be here, but then he realizes what she said. "Fuck, I hate that musical band of asswipes." He then has his blessed revolvers. "Doesn't seem to matter much, I can take ya both down!" He then opens fire.

Lincoln dodges these shots, and he takes cover behind some old mine carts. Velvette does the same, and then she fires her Minigun, Striker keeps shooting, and he dodges the bullets and finds some cover. Stolas slowly inches himself away from this scenario, and he hides behind the Striker statue.

Striker throws a smokebomb, and this blocks their line of sight, but before they can do anything, Striker gets the jump and he tackles Lincoln and then he throws him to the wall, but Lincoln lands and runs on the wall, and avoids the bullet fire, and then he leaps towards Striker, but he is met with the boot og the assassin imp, and he hits the mine cart nearby. But this only angers Lincoln even more.

Velvette tries to open fire, but her Minigun is jammed, and she tries to fix it. Lincoln has his claws, and he races towards Striker, but Striker uses his blessed knives and it turns to claws vs knives fight, and they continue this ruthless battle. Velvette on the other hand gives up on her weapon, and she throws it to Striker, but he dodges and he kicks it back to Velvette, and this knocks her away.

Lincoln then tries to claw Striker, but he uses his knives, and then he head butts Lincoln, and then he tries to slash at him, but he keeps dodging all the knife attacks. Lincoln growls and roars at him, but this makes Striker smirk. "Ya'll don't stand a chance, and this is my home, my playin' field, and my shootin' range. Ya'll are just targets for me to..."

But then he hears multiple engine sounds, and then Velvette checks her phone. "Huh, apparently Stella is up top with Tannins, Athena, and some robotic drone stuff. Cool."

This alarms Striker. "Wait, what?!"

"Striker!" They all see, Stolas and he is free from his ropes, thanks to a sharp rock. "Kiss your own fucking dick." the bottom of the statue took some damage, and so Stolas pushes it, and it lands right on top of the assassin imp, and breaks like debris.

The smoke clears, and they all see that Striker... Is gone, again. "What?!"

The ceiling breaks, and a large mech comes down with Tannins piloting, and then Athena with a battery ram. "FBI open up!" Athena then snickers. "Always wanted to fucking say that."

"Stolas!" Stella comes down thanks to a hover transport, and she hugs Stolas, and he hugs her back. She then checks him. "Are you alright?"

"I am fine dear, some bruises and all, but alright." They both share a passionate kiss. Then Octavia is there, and she goes towards them and embraces her father and mother. The Ars Goetia family are in tears, and are glad that Stolas is alright.

Tannins goes to Lincoln. "He got away again?"

Lincoln sighs. "Yeah, he fucking did." But then they look around. "Perhaps there might be something in here that could help track down any other hideouts."

Athena speaks. "We'll get to it, also I think we can have a party here."

"That's what I said too!" cheered Velvette.

Lincoln then looks to where Striker disappeared, and he growls. 'Fucking shit, that asshole is now hired to kidnap Stolas now?! This is not good, we need to inform Lucifer, and Paimon.'

"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"
