Episode 33: Queen Bee
Back in the Goetia estate, Amara and Roy are both in the living room. Roy is sitting on the couch while watching TV while Amara is doing last minute checking on the paperwork. Once Amara is done, she places the paperwork in a folder for safekeeping. Just then, she hears the doorbell ringing.
"Coming!" Amara calls out.
Amara reaches the entrance and opens the door to see Loona.
"Hi Loona, here to pick up the paperwork?" Amara asks.
"Yeah. Blitz asked me to get it," Loona says.
"Wanna come inside?" Amara asks.
"Sure. Blitz, Mills and Fatty are out on a few assignments so I'm free as a bird at the moment," Loona says.
Soon, Loona enters the mansion and the girls walk into the living room.
The young Imp notices Loona, "Hi Loona, did you just get here?"
"Sure did, kid. How are you and your sister doing?" Loona replies.
"Doing good," Roy says.
Loona then turns to Amara, "So Amara, how are you doing?"
"Doing fine. I'm feeling a lot better now. Blitz said I should be able to work at the office again by next week," Amara says.
"Good to hear. I'm actually starting to miss you guys," Loona says.
"Thanks. I miss seeing you guys around too. Although, I see you guys for a little for a few visits," Amara says.
Then hands Loona the folders, "Anyway, I just finished with the paperwork. Everything should be in order."
"Thanks. I would have been here a little sooner, but some fucker was trying to hit on me," Loona says.
Amara chuckles, "And then you kicked him in the balls to Pentagram City?"
"Probably to the next ring with the kick that I did," Loona says.
Amara and Roy begin laughing a bit.
"Man Loona, you can be very vicious," Amara says.
Suddenly, Amara feels her phone vibrating from her pocket and takes it out.
"Who's that?" Loona asks.
"It's a text message from Cyclone," Amara says.
Cyclone: Hey Amara, my cousins are inviting me to a party in the Gluttony Ring at a Teen Night Club, and the Queen Bee herself is hosting it. And even teens can attend. He said I can invite you guys to the party. The more the merrier. Roy, and your friends from work can go too. So will you all like to come with us next weekend?
"That's cool," Amara says.
"What's cool?" Roy asks.
"Cyclone got an invite from his cousins to a party in Gluttony, and said that the others are going to come and said that we can come too," Amara says.
"Uh Gluttony?" Loona asks, sounding a bit uneasy.
"Yeah. And he said that the Queen Bee herself is going to be there," Amara says.
Loona starts to feel uncomfortable, "Uh really?"
"That's what Cyclone said," Amara says.
"Can we go?" Roy asks, sounding excited.
"Sure," Amara says.
Then turns to Loona, "You wanna come with us next weekend?"
"I uh, actually uh, no thanks… no…." Loona says, uncomfortable.
"What's wrong Loona?" Amara asks. "You seem nervous about something? Are you okay?"
Loona sighs, "Well, if you really want to know… I actually met the Queen Bee before…"
"You did?" Roy asks.
"Yeah… and uh, well… I met her during a party Vortex invited me to, and things didn't end well," Loona says.
"Uh, did it happen to be on the same night Moxxie, Millie, Aaron, and I went to Ozzies?" Amara asks.
"Yeah," Loona says.
"Wanna talk about it? I remember telling you about my disaster that night, you can tell me," Amara says.
Loona sighs, "Alright. I got a text from Vortex and he invited me to a party, so I decided to go, and I was pretty nervous about it…"
Flashback:
Loona is sitting in the back of a car. Her phone is buzzing, and looks down to see Blitz is trying to call her, but Loona declines the call. The Hellhound is looking rather on edge.
Just then, the Driver of the car asks, "You want me to drop you off here?"
Loona hears the driver, and glances at the window, "Oh! Uh! yeah. Yeah, this looks right. I, uh... haven't been here before."
She then steps out of the taxi and it drives away.
Loona then types a text on her phone: Hey, I'm her
Loona: (over text) Oh shit
Loona: (over text) *here, sry :) with the gang.
Loona is starting to look nervous. She then looks up to see a honeycomb-like mansion where music is being played, and there are many demons inside walking into the party and dancing up a storm. Loona puts her phone away and brushes off her hair
Until Vortex calls out and waves, "Loo-naaa! Hey, girl! Glad you could make it!"
"Tex! Yeah, hey. Thanks for inviting me," Loona says, happily.
The two walk into the mansion, where the party is taking place.
"Course! Course!" Vortex says.
He then calls out, "Hey, everyone! Meet the new face!" and let out a howl in excitement, prompting everyone else to do the same.
Vortex then turns to Loona, "You want a…drink or anything?"
"Oh, uh…" Loona says, with a smile and raises her tail, "Sure! Totally…"
Loona drops her fake smile and lets her tail down. She then looks over to a group of valley girl-esque hellhounds.
"And so, I told him 'I'm not gonna go get it, unless you fucking throw it this time.'" One of the hounds, Vikki says.
"That is so, not fetch!" Dalmatian Demon says.
"Not fetch!" Vikki says.
Before she can continue, Loona chimes in nervously, "Ha, ha, ha, yeah! Like, that happens all the time. Aha…aha…"
"Oh-em-gee. Loona? 'Lunatic Luna'? That you?" Vikki questions.
"Uh, yeah. It's Loona… yeah," Loona says.
"Wow. I can't believe you're showing up to another party. I mean, do you even remember the last one?" Vikki says.
Loona grits her teeth, "I'm sure you'll remind me."
Vikki soon takes out her phone, "Yeah, this?" and shows a picture of Loona vomiting, "This you, right?"
Loona growls angrily in response, "Why do you still have that?"
Vikki looks over to the picture, "It brings me joy. You know, you're supposed to keep things that bring you joy."
That just makes Loona growl even more at her.
"Wow, you're being really negative. Your aura is being really aggressive right now," Vikki says.
And Loona angrily says, "Oh, yeah? Well, maybe it's 'cus I'm in the presence of a massive bitch!"
The word 'bitch' echoes throughout the party, making everyone else gasp in disapproval.
That makes Vikki offended, "Oh, my dog! Wow!"
"What? Is that not an okay thing to say? Like, come on, it's true!" Loona asks, confused.
"You can't say that," Someone calls out, making Loona's ears droop in response.
Soon Vortex comes back with drinks, and asks, "Did I miss anything?"
Loona notches, and puts on a fake smile again before taking the drink, "No, no, no! No, nothing," She clears her throat, "No."
Suddenly, a boom through a microphone appears, attracting most of the partygoers.
Followed by a voice echoing across the room, "Haha! How're my party going bitches tonight? Awooh, awooh!"
Vortex smiles at Loona in response, inviting her over. Loona soon follows Vortex toward the source of the voice.
The demon continues, "You ready to party with the Queen Bee of Glu-tto-ny? Come on."
Loona is amazed to see the large party room, and on the stage is Queen Beelzebub, the Queen Bee of Gluttony herself.
Bee continues, "Hell, yeah! 'Cus the honey is flowin' tonight! And this bitch is about to get fuckin' wild!" as she flies up and grabs onto a pole attached to the disco ball, "Let's get it started!"
Everyone in the party room cheers in excitement. Loona looks around nervously as the Queen Bee begins to sing her song.
Beelzebub:
Cotton candy, cotton ca— candy
Candy, candy, candy, candy, candy, candy
It's soon revealed that Beelzebub is a tall, fox-like demon with insect-like features, such as multiple arms, a pair of antennae attached to her ears, and a small pair of insect wings. She has yellow and pink-striped fur like a bee, and black markings that give a dripping appearance down her arms and legs. Her hair and tail seem to be made of either honey or lava lamp fluid and glow bright pink, blue, and orange, with her stomach also being a lava lamp. She has a pink stripe on her head that opens up into a third eye when she becomes angry. Her outfit consists of a pink sleeveless crop top with a heart-shaped cutout, white markings underneath turning into a paw with claws, and a white pair of short shorts.
Beelzebub:
Hey! I'm whatchu need, I'm watchu want
I got it all, carnivale, I'll bring you up, I'll take you down
Beelzebub flies across the room with everyone's eyes on her.
Beelzebub:
I'm sticky sweet, stuck in your teeth like
Cotton candy!
She walks along the ground as she performs.
Beelzebub:
Cotton candy (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Beelzebub flies into the air as her hair and tail flows up in the air. Hounds are practically howling towards her.
Beelzebub:
Cotton candy (Ah-ah, ah-oh)
Cotton candy (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Beelzebub then conjures a large bowl of cotton candy and tosses it out for the audience to snack on. Loona is rather surprised by what's happening and continues to watch the show and the Queen Bee takes flight.
Beelzebub:
I'm whatchu want, not whatchu need (Ah-ah, ah-oh)
And descends as she begins to walk down the staircase.
Beelzebub:
Hey! I don't know why, I'm whatchu want, but it's the truth
I'm not your lie
Let them eat cake, let them eat pie
Or better yet them eat cotton candy,
Soon, the light changes to a neon night color and Bee flies across the air.
Beelzebub:
Cotton candy (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Cotton candy (Ah-ah, ah-oh)
Cotton candy (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Just then, a hatch opens on the floor.
Beelzebub:
I'm whatchu want, not watchu need!
Beelzebub flies high up before diving down into the honey sea under the floor.
Beelzebub:
Cotton candy skies
Sweet as apple pie
I can't help but shine
Beelzebub rises back up flipping her hair back as honey flies up. Loona is astonished by it.
Beelzebub:
Brighter than the starlight in the sky
Then Beelzebub lands and sits on the disco ball.
Beelzebub:
Cotton candy,
Cotton candy (Yeah)
Cotton candy
I'm whatchu want, not watchu need
So, watchu want?
Beelzebub:
Ya hungry? Take a bite!
Bee enlarges the taco one of her guests planned on eating, then shoves it into his mouth.
Beelzebub:
Get fucked tonight! (So, watchu want?)
Bee moves onto the next table, where she enlarges the alcoholic beverage of two dog demons which she then shoves down their throats.
Beelzebub:
Your Queen Bee brings the sweet stuff, so keep making me that motherfucking honey! Yeah, keep it comin'!
Bee enlarges the party's punch bowl and prompts the others to swim in it after tossing one of the Hellhounds into the punch bowl with her hair.
Beelzebub:
Cotton candy (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Loona is rather stunned by the display.
Beelzebub:
Cotton candy (Ah-ah, ah-oh)
Cotton candy (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Loona turns to see Bee giving a few Hellhounds Cotton candy, and turns to see Vortex eating one. Loona blushes in response.
Beelzebub:
I'm whatchu want, not watchu need!
Beelzebub flies up and still tosses candy in the air.
Beelzebub:
Cotton candy skies!
Beelzbub then uses her powers to launch honey out of the hatches like geysers.
Beelzebub:
Sweet as apple pie!
Then swirls them up around the disco ball before riding it above towards the ceiling.
Beelzebub:
I can't hеlp but shine!
Brighter than the starlight,
Then then swirl them and it spirals until it explodes into cotton candy, falling out of the sky and towards the audience.
Beelzebub:
Cotton candy skiеs,
Sweet as apple pie!
I can't help but shine (Woo!)
Brighter than the starlight in the sky!
Beelzebub ends her performance with a firework of confetti and the hellhounds cheer as Loona shakes the cotton candy out of her hair.
"Awooh, awooh! Vortex!" Beelzebub happily says, and flies to Vortex, "The party is buzzin' now! Fuck!" She lands on the ground and dusts herself, "I feel like I went a little too hard on the confetti this time, though. I have like," and materializes a mini rainbow, "A rainbow in my vagina right now."
Loona gives off a confused expression.
Beelzebub notices Loona, "Oh, hey! Is this the sweet pup you told me about?"
"Excuse me?" Loona questions.
"She's a fucking cutie! Where have you been hiding, girl?" Beelzebub says with laughter.
Loona frowns and questions, "Is there something funny?"
"Nah, I'm just really high on all this tasty energy right now. Tex says you don't get invited out much. I hope this itty-bitty get-together can serve as a fun first time," Loona says.
Loona briefly looks behind her to see a hellhound slide down a staircase only to get hit in the crotch when he gets all the way down.
"Mm-hmm," Loona replies.
Beelzebub continues, "I would've thrown a bigger one, but I couldn't convince Belphegor to let me break into her stash of party drugs. So fucking lame! I mean, I usually just steal them, but Bel changed the locks." She then conjures a bottle of beer, "She says I'm a total jackass for trying, but hey... I'm proud to be a total jackass," and drinks the bottle.
Then Vortex walks over and says, "Heh. Anyway, yeah, Bee, this is Loona. And, Loona, this is my girlfriend, Bee.
"Nice to meetcha, bitch!" Bee introduces herself.
Loona is stunned, "Oh, this is... she's hot," and widens eyes in realization.
Beelzebub laughs happily, "Ha! Holy shit! Okay. Tex, you didn't tell me she was hilarious. That's so funny."
"Right," Loona replies.
"I love that that's the first thing you say to me. You don't give a shit how freaky you come off, and that's fucking beautiful," Beelzebub says and moves next to Loona, "You're my new favorite person."
"Am I, though?" Loona questions.
"Yeah, bitch!" Beelzebub says with laughter, "No, really. Reminds me of the time I saw Satan without a shirt on. I was like, 'Oof! Boy! You are hot as hell!'." Then says, "But, then I wanted to die, 'cause it was so awkward. 'Cause he's more like a brother to me. You know, but not actually my brother. So, I guess... It was fine. I could hit that…"
Loona looks around awkwardly.
Beelzebub continues, "Anyway, girl, you have a good time tonight. Get some sweets, get some eats. Drink it, tear it, fuck it up! Whoo!"
Then Bee walks over to some party guests, "Cheers, honey. Thank you for coming. Do you need anything? Are you having fun? Are you good? Are you drunk?"
A hellhound with a cone full of Beelzejuice nods in response.
Beelzebub says, "Okay, good. Okay, great." and walks off.
"Yeah, I'm gonna go," Loona says, and begins to take her leave.
Vortex notices it, "Uh, what? Why? You just got here. At least one drink, right?"
"Nope, you really wouldn't like me after one drink," Loona says.
She then puts her cup down at a nearby staircase and walks out the door. Loona feels brokenhearted and feels out of place while at the party. She is shedding tears as she calls Blitzo.
Meanwhile, Blitzo, still in the aftermath of his night out with Stolas, hears his phone ring, then he looks at it and his eyes bug out to see Loona is calling.
Back at the party, Loona is waiting for Blitz.
The young Hellhound lets out a sign, "So stupid. I shouldn't have come."
Just then, the I.M.P van arrives, knocking a plant pot in the process. Once parked at front, Blitz rolls down the window,
Then the Imp says, "Hey, Loonie. How you doin', you alright?"
Loona climbs into the van feeling depressed and says, "Yeah, I'm fine. I just wanna go."
Suddenly, an Imp calls out, "He-hey, that sounds like Blitzo!"
"The 'o' is silent, asshole!" Blitz shouts.
The Imp continues, "He-hey, I knew it was you! Fuck, man, where've you been? You here for the party?"
"N-no, I'm just here picking up my daughter," Blitz says.
The Imp looks through the window in surprise, "Oh, shit! You have a daughter now?"
"Adopted!" Loona clarifies, annoyed.
"Aw, man, you're already leaving? Things just got started. Come in and show us all up again," The Imp says.
But Blitz says, "No, no, thank you. But, I think Loonie wants to head back."
Loona hears something and soon notices a handsome hellhound approaching the van.
"Huh, the hottie next to you wants to leave?" The Hellhound says and looks at Loona.
Blitz growls in disapproval, "Watch it!"
Loona wags her tail for a little bit.
And then she says to Blitz, "I mean, we could stay a little longer."
"I think we need to go, mkay? I think it's been a long night," Blitz says.
But Loona says, "Well, these people seem to know you. Come on! I think I wanna give this another try." And makes puppy dog eyes, "Pleeease?"
Blitz rubs his temples between his eyes and sighs in defeat, "Okay, fine. Maybe one drink."
Soon enough, Blitz is drinking from a keg as one of the Hellhounds holds him by his legs, and the other guests chant.
Even Loona chants, "Blitzo! Blitzo! Blitzo! Blitzo!"
Once he's done, Blitz hops off the keg with a, "Ahh!"
The Hellhounds howl, even Loona.
Blitz whips his lips, "Ha haaa! That was nothing, bitch! Gimme a real challenge!"
Just then, Beelzebub then appears behind Blitz holding a chicken leg.
"Oh, yeah? Wanna fucks with the big bitch, imp boy? I got a challenge for ya," Bee says, and places the chicken leg in her mouth.
Vikki points out, "Oh, he's gonna die."
Then Vortex arrives with two yellow kegs, "Aaaaalright, let's do this! "And place them both down From Bee's personal stash, the hardest shit there is."
Blitz soon does some stretches.
Vortex asks Blitz, "You ready, my man?"
"Oh, born ready!" Blitz says and tries to open one of the kegs, "Bring it, barky! I will drink you under this fucking table, you have no idea what kind of night I've had!"
Beelzebub then uses her powers to lift the kegs and prep nozzles for them.
Bee laughs, and says, "All right, shit talker, but there hasn't been a soul yet who can beat me at my own game. So, you better bring the fire, baby."
And soon, Blitz begins taunting Bee, "Oh, is Queen Bee too scared to lose to a little imp like me?"
"Oh, okay. Let's get it on, you little bastard!" Bee says and her eyes glow a bit.
Then Vortex signals for the contest to begin, and Beelzebub and Blitzo start drinking.
Loona calls out, "Come on, Blitz! Fuck her up! You can do it!"
Blitz then rips off the nozzle and chugs the whole keg, surprising Beelzebub.
Once he's done, Blitz climbs on the empty keg, "Who's the queen now?!"
Loona cheers, "Yeah! That's my DAD!" that makes Blitz smile.
Bee is impressed and says, "Well, fuck me! That's a first. I haven't had a first in a while. That was magical, seriously, impressive. I tip my crown to you, imp boy," And bows before Blitz, "Respect."
She howls, prompting the other party guests, including Loona, to cheer as Blitzo passes out drunk, as he gets carried off as Beelzebub and Vortex look at each other in concern.
As the party continues, the guests continue having fun and chatting, Loona is among them, laughing with a couple of other hellhounds. Then Vortex taps on Loona's shoulders, gaining her attention.
Then Vortex says, "Hey, Loon. I don't mean to be a buzz kill here. But, your uh, dad... guy dude... Is um... He's seeming a bit…"
Then Bee comes in from behind looking concerned, "Out of control, like... A mess."
"Yeah, it's worrisome," Vortex says, "You wanna maybe check on him or somethin?"
"What!? No! No, Blitzo is fine. He's always a mess, trust me," Loona reassures.
But Bee says, "Look, honey. I see people having fun and getting fucked up all the time. But, he's clearly getting wasted off his ass and causing problems on purpose. So, I feel like, you should check up on him at least."
Loona starts to get angry as the hounds she was talking to poke their heads over to eavesdrop.
"Just see if something's up," Bee adds.
Loona then marches over to Beelzebub and confronts her, and is not happy.
Loona angrily says, "Don't act like you know him like I do."
"I ain't sayin' that," Bee says, "I'm just pretty sure he's had like four tongues inside him at once. I mean... good for him."
Vortex nods in agreement.
Bee continues, "But... I can taste the flavor of people at my parties, and he's giving off a very, not okay vibe, you know?"
Loona gets progressively angrier, "Oh, yeah? And I bet you'd know the 'okay' vibe, right? I mean everyone likes you so much."
Beelzebub flies up near Loona's face to challenge her in anger, "What's that supposed to mean? You got a problem or something, sour cream?" And shifts into a larger demonic form, "Don't fuck with me!"
Loona preps for a fight until she sees how it's upsetting Vortex.
Loona sighs, and says, "Sorry. Yeah, nope, I'll, uh... I'll check on him," And walks off to find Blitz.
As Loona leaves, Beelzebub shrinks back to her normal size.
"Ugh…" Bee replies and turns to Vortex, "Sorry. Sorry. I know I got a little spicy there. I just... hope everyone works out."
The two remain quiet with a smile.
"Now, let's dance!" Bee adds and flies off with Vortex.
Meanwhile, Loona looks around trying to find Blitz as she calls out, "Blitz! Blitz! Where are you, shithead?! BLIT-" And soon finds Blitz French-Kissing another Imp, "Oh, piss on a dick!"
She grabs Blitz by the collar, "What the fuck are you doing, Blitz?!"
"This guy~" Blitz says, pointing to the guy and still drunk.
The Imp briefly waves.
"It looks like you're in the middle of a goddamn orgy! Stop!" Loona shouts.
Blitz slurs and says, "Look, I didn't expect you to come in here and see any of this, Loonie. I'm so sorry, but it's a party, I'm just havin' fun with, uh…" Then turns to the Imp, "The fuck is your name again?"
"Dennis," The Imp says.
"Christ on a stick, you would be a Dennis," Blitz shouts and waves his arms, shooing Dennis away, "Get the fuck away from me, I'm not fucking a Dennis tonight! I need a Monica or Alejandro in here, stat!"
Unknown To Blitz, and Imp standing by the corner has heard Blitz. And then pulls Blitz into his arms.
Better…" Blitz slurs and sticks his tongue out.
Loona then punches the Imp in the face, causing him to back away, then Blitz stumbles and Loona catches him.
"You don't need anyone else sucking your face, freaky weirdo," Loona says, and then carries Blitz over her shoulder, "You need to drink something other than Beelzejuice."
"Ugh, no…" Blitz refuses
Loona carries Blitz to the van, and buckles him in. She then turns to see her new friends waving goodbye. Loona waves back before she gets in the van and drives off.
Loona turns to Blitz and asks, "Do you need to throw up?"
"Mmm… no," Blitz answers.
Loona scoffs, "Yeah, you do."
Sometime later in the apartment, Loona turns on the lights and puts Blitzo back on the couch, then gets a glass of water and a blanket for him.
"I had a really shitty day…" Blitz says.
"Oh, yeah? Is that why you drank like five gallons worth of who-knows-what?" Loona replies.
Blitz soon grows depressed, "Fuck, Fizz was right. I'm gonna die alone, aren't I? Just a wrinkly, old, withered waste." and has his face placed against the pillow.
Loona is stunned to hear what Blitz says.
Then Blitz asks, "Will you be there, Loonie?"
"Be…where?" Loona asks.
"I dunno, just…" Blitz says, and mumbles, "Lonely... die alone."
"I'll be there, dad," Loona says, and drapes the blanket over Blitzo and pats his head. "Now, go the fuck to sleep, okay?" Then turns off the lights before going to her room.
Soon, Blitz mumbles, "Millie, Moxxie, Amara, Roy, Stolas…
Loona takes one last look at Blitzo before heading into her room, then after a beat, Blitzo vomits up the Beelzejuice.
And Blitz groans in pain, "Fuck... yeah, I did need to throw up."
Flashback Ends:
"Yikes, sounds like Blitz had the worst night out of all of us," Amara says.
"Pretty much," Loona says.
Amara sadly sighs, "No wonder he's been out of it the past few days. And he ended up getting sick the night after it happened."
"Yeah. He drank way too much Beelzejuice," Loona says.
"And I guess you didn't have a good time?" Amara asks.
"Not as much of a good time as I hoped, but I did end up making some new friends," Loona says.
She then sighs, "But I don't think Bee and I are on very good terms."
"Maybe, but I'm sure she understands. The way you talk about it, it seems that she might be understanding, and rather laid back," Amara says.
"Not to mention energetic and very lively," Loona says.
"True, but Cyclone is as well," Amara says.
Then says, "Still, maybe you should give another chance. You might have fun this time."
"I'll think about it, but you and Roy can still have a good time," Loona says.
She grabs the folder, "Anyway, I better get going or Blitz will start worrying. See you guys next week."
"Bye," Amara and Roy say.
And soon, Loona takes her leave.
Amara brings out her phone text Cyclone: Roy and I will be here.
