Hello again, mortals, sinners, imps, devils, and otherwise. We finally come to the recent episode. Now, my fam being fans of Helluva Boss, thought this episode was okay. I mean, after all, not every episode, whether it's liked or not, is gonna have a winner for everybody. For me, it is. I mean that massacre seen where Millie made sushi out of the shark imps (at least I think they're imps. I mean we established that Sinners are not allowed in the other rings so the shark demons have gotta be imps. Plus, imps tend to have traits of other animals in this universe. The normal imps varying, Striker being based on a rattlesnake/alligator if the sounds are of any indication, and Chaz being based on a shark, with the teeth.)
Now...let the slaughter begin!
Chapter 3: Exes and Oohs
Few days later, Momo had begun practicing his guitar lessons and singing lessons with Verosika and the crew. He even at one point decided to visit Stolas and tell him of what happened when the prince and Blitzo were preoccupied and when he, Loona, Draiman, Mau5, and Thom were handling the task of finding Octavia.
"I applaud you for holding the line for us. But you did say that something had caught up with you during your search for Via. I don't think you purchasing that guitar was out of choice. I'd like to think there's something more to it," Stolas theorized, "Yes. What I am willing to tell you is something you'll lecture me about. But please, can you at least let it slide. Besides...it's the last time I did it anyway," Momo explained. Stolas had one eyebrow raised, "You went on a date in one of the rings again, didn't you?" he asked. Momo sighed, "Yeah..."
Stolas then looked at the oni Sinner, "Alright, I'll let it slide. But no more," he lectured, "Thank you. Now, apparently during the date, me and Verosika were attacked. Hell, the assassins even mentioned that you'd be next on their hit list and even tried to bribe me back to their side, which I of course refused since I don't follow traitors," Momo explained, "Orochi? I think you mentioned him before. But I had no idea he'd find you," Stolas said, "And you said I was on their hit list?" he added.
"Yeah, that's right. But...I slaughtered him and Orochi again. But...I felt my honor didn't return. All that remained was rage and bloodlust. I think the fact I've been in Hell for so long has affected me greatly," Momo lamented. Stolas closed his eyes and sighed, "I guess it's eating away at you. I mean after all, you did commit a sin after all. Sometimes, there's just no going back," Stolas said solemnly, "Too true. The only time when I'm not in this forsaken realm of suffering and not actually suffering is when I'm with my friends and Verosika," the yakuza replied, "Now...I've learned from Loona that apparently, heavy metal music is said to distract the mind from negative emotions. And calm angry listeners. So...I think I have a plan to quell the bloodlust from within: begin a cover heavy metal group. In other words a band," Momo said, confidently as he began to stand up.
"If there's one thing that can keep your lust for blood at bay and prevent you from harming any of us, take what you can get," Stolas advised. After some training, with the oni gaining a new ability to blend in the shadows, and giving up some abilities he had learned, Momo went back home to practice his guitar and then rested up for tomorrow.
The next day...
Momo brought his guitar to work to have something to do until a kill contract was made. He even showed it to his coworkers. Blitzo praised him after he explained his reasons for buying one in the first place. Blitzo understood that, as much as he hated Verosika, the imp wouldn't want to wish death on her, even if he wanted to, but he did it for the oni. The only not present at the time was Millie. Draiman probably guessed that she went to get coffee.
At the meeting room, Momo was strumming his guitar as Moxxie was looking around. Loona was on her phone as usual, "You know, I checked the scale today. And it said I lost two pounds this week," Moxxie reported, taking a deep breath. Loona looked at the thespian. She rolled her eyes back to her phone. She had little interest to what Moxxie had said. Moxxie grew annoyed, "I. Am not. FAT!" Moxxie shouted, irritated.
Momo just continued to strum his guitar, humming a song. Draiman and the cyberimps watched with interest. Suddenly, the front door kicked open and a ragefilled Millie entered, holding a cup of coffee in her hand as she stomped around in the office, mumbling angrily. This even startled Loona, "Whoa, what the fuck?" Draiman exclaimed. Passing the hellhound receptionist, she tossed her cup that landed on the table in front of Loona and punched a button that brought out a cardboard of a human with three target marks.
The Wrathian threw a knife at the target area where the crotch of the cardboard was. She then leapt at the cardboard and then began to rip into the cardboard, even biting it in an attempt to rip the head of the cardboard off. Moxxie was disturbed at this since he had never seen her act like this aside of when Moxxie was in danger, "What's gotten into her?" Momo asked, "Millie, honey. Is everything okay?" the thespian imp squeaked. Millie turned and hissed back at her husband, disturbing him further. Realizing it was Moxxie talking, she calmed down. The scene felt too similar to the oni. He frowned at this.
"Yeah. I just bumped into an ex," Millie responded, panting, "Oh! Oh," was all Moxxie could muster, "An ex? I didn't know you dated someone else besides Moxxie in the past," Thom conversed, "He just kept going on about how he has money now, "a bright future," and "a bigger cock," Millie ranted, "Wait, what?" Moxxie said, confused, "Every time I see his stupid face, I can't help it! I just need to—" Millie didn't finish her sentence. She was too angry that she punched a filing cabinet in frustration.
Blitzo came in shortly after. He must've been on the phone, "What the fuck is all this noise? I got a client!" he demanded. Moxxie scrambled to get the pictures and clean it up, "Sorry, sir. I'll get this all cleaned-" Moxxie stopped when he picked up a picture of two imps making out, dressed as horses, "What is this?" he asked. Blitzo hurriedly snatched it out of his hands, "Uh research! For science! Just put it back correctly, okay, I alphabetized them," Blitzo spluttered before tossing it aside and walking back into his office. Thom and Mau5 went over to help Moxxie clean the mess up.
In the office, Blitzo was talking to a client, "Okay, so let me get this straight: you don't want us going to Earth at all for this job?" Blitzo asked. The one speaking on the phone had a voice that sounded strangely similar to Moxxie, "Correct. That will not be necessary. I'd like to meet you and your whole crew at my estate," the client informed, "Uh, you want us killing someone in Hell because I got to tell ya, that ain't exactly our business anymore," the head imp replied, "I'll tell ya all about it when you get here. It's regarding a business venture I'm sure will be very worth your time," the client assured the boss.
"Ooh, how ominous," Blitzo chuckled, "Fine, whatever, what's the address?" he asked, "Transportation has already been taken care of," the client responded. As if on cue, a helicopter flew to the front of the building. Blitzo ran to his office. The I.M.P members heard it too as they were cleaning up. Blitzo peered through the window, "What the fuck is that?" Blitzo asked. Momo and Draiman had their weapons drawn. The helicopter shot a grappling hook at the building, which pulled on the wall and broke it. Loona looked on and said nothing.
This irritated Blitzo since this reminded him of Lyle and Loopty, "Satan's ass crack! Enough with the walls, shit, we have a door!" Blitzo snarled, gesturing to the door. With the walls damaged, a gust of wind blew all the photos Blitzo had been saving, "My research!" Blitzo cried, reaching out to the photos. Two imp children with their mother grabbed two of the photos. One was crying and the other was vomiting at the disgusting image. The helicopter approached the group and created a bridge for them to walk on. The pilot, a shark imp, stepped out, "I.M.P? Right this way, please!" he instructed.
Moxxie and Milie brandished their weapons, "Uh, sir? What's going on?" Moxxie asked, drawing out his pistol, "Now, don't worry! It's just some fancy shmuck from Greed wanting to do business with us," Blitzo answered. Momo turned to Draiman, "Do you have your phone on you?" he asked the metallic Sinner. Draiman took out his phone, "Hold the business while we're away. If things go awry, have Loona teleport you to the Greed Ring on the double," Momo instructed, "You got it pal!" Draiman said.
Blitzo, Moxxie, Millie, and Momo began to walk toward the helicopter, "Uh, sir, I don't think this is a good idea," Moxxie responded, looking down. It was a long way down if they fell, "It'll be fine. Now get your asses moving," Blitzo ordered, pushing Moxxie and Millie into the helicopter and walking in. Momo joined them. He brought his guitar with him. The Wrathian imp tried to buckle her seatbelt, but hers was broken, "Is this thing safe?" she asked, "Don't worry, we are professionals," the pilot assured them.
Momo didn't believe them. And he was right to do so because the pilot was not careful. They managed to take a huge chunk of the wall as they flew off. Draiman and the cyberimps watched them go by and turned to the hellhound, "Demons today," he muttered. Loona nodded, "Yep," she agreed.
To Momo's surprise, there was an elevator for helicopters and/or aerial vehicles to other rings. Something he didn't expect. The helicopter flew out of the hanger into the Greed Ring. The first thing they noticed was that they flew over Loo Loo Land, which was still in ruins and going under construction. Momo peered out the window and had a smug smirk on his face. He secretly wondered how the owner reacted and snickered. Momo saw down below imps that were carrying bags courtesy of someone named Mammon, imps dumping toxic waste in the ocean, and a group of imps partaking in the murder of another.
They then passed a sign that read:
WELCOME TO NOMAFIA TOWN;
No mafia here! We're mafia-free!
However, deep down, Momo knew this was probably a lie. Also, this was the first time he saw the Greed Ring in it's entirety. And the place was already disgusting him. It reeked with industrialism and pollution. All of that filled mixed with the lust for currency. He figured this was where Souls, the currency of Hell, were made, "I hate this place," Moxxie groaned with utter disdain, "Oh yeah, this is your old stomping ground, isn't it, Mox?" Blitzo asked, "Yeah, unfortunately," Moxxie answered, "You grew up in this waste dump? Kimo iya!" Momo grunted, holding his nose. Moxxie pointed to the district he grew up in, "I grew up just over there, swore I'd never come back, and— uh uh— what— what, where are we going?" Moxxie suddenly grew anxious. The yakuza could guess something was wrong. Millie did as well.
"What— Blitz who did you say this meeting was with?" Moxxie asked, now worried, "I'm not sure, just some rich somebody or other who wants to do biz at his place," Blitzo shrugged, "Sounds rather shady if you ask me." the oni replied. The helicopter landed. In front of the landing pad was a huge mansion. This time Moxxie panicked, "Oh no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO!" Moxxie quivered. From the helicopter, Moxxie was shivering in fear. His wife and the samurai looked at him with concern. Blitzo, not caring as usual, shoved him out to move forward.
And then, a new face stepped forward out of the doorway. And by the look the oni saw on Moxxie's face, it seemed it was someone he had hoped he would never see again, "There he is!" the person spoke.
The demon that Moxxie recognized was an imp demon, sporting mess white hair, had black and white horns just like Moxxie, and yellow eyes. White marks were seen around them. And he had a bent tail with white accents near the base and right on top of the fork. He had a similar build to Moxxie, had a darker shade of red and his sideburns are longer and bushier. Unlike Moxxie, his legs appear to be plantigrade, akin to a regular human, rather than digitigrade. Momo could see that one of his fangs had been replaced with a golden fang. Physically, he stood at an average height for an imp, being slightly taller than Moxxie and closer to height as Blitzo.
His attire consisted of a red high-collar shirt that griped his neck, topped by a navy-blue suit with light blue accents, thin red stripes, red buttons, and red lining.
His pants were a dark blue, which also had thin red stripes, and he wore a black fedora with red and white band. His shoes were black and red heeled dress shoes, which may be altering his height, assuming his feet were differently shaped than Moxxie's.
"There's my boy! Get over here and hug your daddy?" he greeted. The three were taken aback that whoever this guy is, was Moxxie's father, "Daddy?" Millie and Blitzo exclaimed, "Otousan?" Momo repeated, saying daddy in Japanese. Moxxie's father frowned, "I only let Moxxie call me that unless you pay me!" Moxxie's father said, bursting out laughing. He walked towards the assassins, "Guys," Moxxie began, clearing his throat, "this is my father, Crimson. Sir, this is my boss, Blitzo. And my close friend, Momo Tengan, who is the first Sinner to join I.M.P. And my-"
"Millie! I'm his wife!" Millie greeted, offering Crimson's hand. Moxxie's father took her hand, which she accepted, "And what a beautiful wife you are," he said, kissing her hand, "Mox, where have you been hiding this pretty little thang?" he asked, "Oh, I'm sure he would've introduced us eventually, "Oh, I'm sure," Crimson replied, "You got to be Blitz, with the silent "o", right? I've heard a lot of good things about you and your work," he introduced himself, shaking the assassin's hand and putting his arm around his neck, "Really? What kind of shit has Moxxie been spreading about me? I'll fucking kill you Moxxie, don't you fucking test me!" Blitzo scolded, turning to the thespian
"No, no! From all over. Looks like you're building a name for yourself here, kid," Crimson assured. Blitzo calmed down after Crimson told him this, "Really?" he asked, chuckling, "Well, I guess it's about time folks recognized my talent," Blitzo boasted, finally feeling like he earned the reputation he deserved. Moxxie's father cackled, throwing a playful punch to Blitzo, "I like your attitude," he chirped. He then turned to Momo. The oni wasn't sure yet, but judging from Moxxie's reactions earlier, he felt something ominous from his soul. Worst, it felt like the exact same energy as Stella when they first met.
Still, he had to act professionally. He looked at Crimson, "So, you're the first Sinner to ever join I.M.P. That's quite a feat since Sinners can't really venture into the human world. And word spread you slaughtered your asshole mentor from a yakuza clan twice. You got guts, kid," Crimson complimented. Momo inhaled and then exhaled. The two of them shook hands, "Pleasure is all mine, Crimson. Pardon me if you don't understand Japanese, watashi wa Tengan Momo. I was given the Momo after the famed mythical hero from my homeland which is Japan, Momotaro. Hence why I'm an oni," Momo explained.
"Wow, and you're so professional too. And named after a hero, huh? Guess the clan held you in high regard before the betrayal," Crimson added, "...Yeah," Momo sighed, remembering the painful memory of the betrayal that led to him dishonoring the clan and ending his own life, which led him to I.M.P, "Well, I hope you're all hungry. We put together a fabulous dinner for you," Crimson offered, walking back toward the mansion. Blitzo followed.
"Hey baby, why haven't I met your Pa before?" Millie asked, "Yeah. Something about him...I don't know. It felt...shady," Momo added. Moxxie grew nervous, "Well uh, y'know, i-it's just, never been a—"
"Hey! You two, move it before it gets cold," Crimson said, walking into the house. Momo went in first. He noticed the other demons at the door. They seemed to be imps. But their features were like sharks, "Look, look, Millie, we can talk about it later," Moxxie said. The imp couple held hands and walked into the house with Blitzo and Momo. Outside, Crimson scowled and he snapped his fingers, entering the manor, the shark imps following inside and one closing the door behind him.
Inside, Momo met a strange fellow. He too was an imp. Only unlike the two sharks he saw, this one was like an angler fish. He had white hair and his attire was like that of a tax collector, "Hello, my fellow hellion," he greeted, "I am Crimson's personal advisor, Thalass," he greeted. A small crab-like demon crawled to him, "And this little buddy is Mirage," Thalass said. The crab demon made a cute little, "beep beep," sound. Thalass got to meet both Blitzo, Moxxie, and Millie. Compared to Crimson, Moxxie found Thalass a bit odd, but didn't seem like the sort of bad guy. Millie was suspicious. Otherwise, she just found the angler fish to be a bit of a weirdo. But she did find Mirage cute though. And Blitzo? Well, Blitzo was Blitzo.
"So, Blitzo, ya always been a hitman?" Crimson asked, preparing a drink for Blitzo, "No, no, not always. Yeah, I was in the circus for a long time," Blitzo answered, taking the drink, "Show business!" the father replied, pointing to him as a showman gesture, "Good money in that."
Everyone sat in the room in awkward silence. The only thing that broke the silence was Mirage's beep beeps. Crimson took out a cigar and the head imp took a sip of his drink, "What are we doing here, sir?" Moxxie asked his father, "Moxxie, I raised you better than that. Ya know there's no business before dinner. Besides, we're still waitin' on one more," Crimson said, lighting his cigar. This perplexed the yakuza, "One more?" he asked. And that was when Thalass facepalmed, "Oh for Hades' sake," Thalass grumbled.
The last guest made kicked his way into the house, "Woo-hoo-hoo, what is up, party people?" he whooped. The demon in question had gray-toned skin with a yellow underside and gills; his fins also sported a similar pattern, but have dark green accents and white spots on their ends. His sclera were neon blue with white rings, with the right eye having a small scar on it. He had short, evergreen hair that sticks upwards, with dark horns protruding from his head.
He also sported sea green teeth and a long tail where that is missing its skin having jagged ends with light tips. He donned a gray striped shirt that's topped by a navy green jacket with white accents and bone designs on its sleeves. His pants are the same color, which are tied by a belt with a bone buckle; his shoes are dark having green tips on the front. He also wore a small, gray fedora on his head.
Almost immediately, the imp couple recognized the individual right away, "Chaz?" they both said. Upon realizing they both recognized him and said his name, they looked at each other, "Wait. What?" they both said, "You know him?" Moxxie questioned, raising an eyebrow. Millie groaned and slapped her forehead, "You remember that "ex" I was talking about?" Millie hinted. Chaz walked over and hugged the imp couple, "Looks like I got two big sex reunions today. How lucky am I?" Chaz singsonged. Millie was very surprised, "Did you date him too?" she asked, "Ha, yeah. No big deal, but I usually bone half the people in any room I'm in—"
Blitzo interrupted Chaz, "Are you fucking kidding me? There's someone who's fucked both of you?" he shouted, "And wait. Hold on a minute. I heard that earlier from Millie before we came here. She mentioned that was the ex she was talking about how he had money now, a bright future, and a bigger scrote," Momo puzzled. Upon now seeing Chaz was the person Millie was ranting about and based on his first impressions...Momo facepalmed and groaned in annoyance, "Ugh! Nanite kotoda!" Thalass shook his head, "I told you. This guy is such an annoying prick," he chimed in.
Moxxie pushed Chaz's arms off of himself and Millie, "It was a long time ago," he muttered bitterly, "But I still remember it like it was yesterday. You, a fledgling mafioso! Me, the dashing and extremely sexy muscle! It was like it was written in the stars," Chaz remarked fondly. Both imp couples glared at the shark imp.
Blitzo was amused at the fact that somehow Moxxie was in the mafia before meeting him, "Ha! Moxxie in the mafia, that's fucking rich," he stopped himself upon noticing items in the room: a photo of Crimson and another mob boss, the many trophies of hellbeasts hanging on the wall, and, to his shock, a framed picture over the fireplace of Crimson and a younger Moxxie. Also in the picture was a young woman, who appeared to be Moxxie's mother. Blitzo heard a knock at the door and looked to see two shark imps enter, carrying a body bag, "Oh shit," Blitzo said.
"And you're a part of this group?" Momo asked, "Yeah. Not by choice though," Thalass hinted, "I'd rather not talk about it," his mood changed to forlorn. Momo noticed that underneath the ugliness due to being an angler fish, there was a hint of sadness. Mirage uttered a sad, "beep beep."
Millie looked at her husband with concern, "You've never told me this before," she said, "I don't like to talk about this part of my life. But," Moxxie stopped himself and saw that his father was watching him, "I first saw Chaz at my induction in the family. Our eyes met from across the room. And there was just something about him something that was magnetic!" he began.
Momo offered Crimson a drink. He poured him one and the yakuza samurai took it. He needed a drink so that he could listen to Moxxie's story.
Moxxie described his first time meeting Chaz for the first time. It was like love at first sight. There was one instance when Moxxie was pinned down during a mob turf war. He was out of ammo and had pulled out a grenade. He had tried to pull the pin, but it slipped out of his hand and landed in the sight of gunfire. The thespian ran after it and just as he caught it, Chaz had done the same. This allowed Moxxie to pull the pin and decimate the other mobs. Then there was the time that Chaz came to visit, holding signs like, "TELL YOUR DAD IT'S A SALESMAN", "I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU", and "MOKSIE, WILL YOU BONE WITH ME?" before he finally let him in. Another instance was when Moxxie was polishing his rifle and Chaz came and assisted him. And at last, the one time where Moxxie posed nude on the couch, allowing Chaz to paint him on a portrait, "It's been 84 years," Moxxie explained.
"Isn't that from that boat movie?" Blitz asked, confused. That even confused Momo, "Boat movie?"
"Did any of that stuff happen?" Millie asked, "Oh yeah!" Chaz chimed in, licking his lips lustfully, "But he skipped over the jizz-covered parts," he added. Momo, unfortunately couldn't intimidate others with his mask anymore since Orochi broke it during their last confrontation. So he pointed his katana at Chaz, "That will be quite enough, arigatou," the oni murmured icily, "And...wow. Guess you two were a thing for awhile. And judging by what I've learned so far, it looked like in no way it ended in heartbreak and betrayal...it did, didn't it?" Momo asked.
Moxxie looked at the oni, "Anyway. Things changed when we went on a heist together," he began.
Moxxie and Chaz had just completed a heist, carrying the bags of money and running to the exit. The security gate begins to drop. Moxxie threw the money out into the exit and caught the gate with shoulders, giving his boyfriend time to slide under. Moxxie then tried to escape, but the gate then dropped on his leg and tail, causing him to yelp in pain. He struggled to free himself and turned to Chaz for help. The shark imp suddenly heard police sirens and grabbed the money. Moxxie was hopeful and thought he was helping, but he gave the thespian a final look before running off. Moxxie had a look of devastation and betrayal as he saw him run off before he was arrested.
Moxxie was then thrown into a jail cell and climbed into the bottom of the bunk bed, hoping that his father would send someone to break him out. Tears welled up in his eyes. It was then that this was a fated meeting that had changed the imp's life forever, "So, what're you in for?" the voice suddenly asked. He pulled his tail closer to him.
"Okay, not much of a talker, are you?" a head poked out to greet the depressed imp. He hopped down off the top bunk bed and introduced himself, shaking Moxxie's hand, "I'm Blitzo, the "o" is silent. I'm sure we're going to get along just fine," he said, grinning. Moxxie looked at this strange new imp, "So, what's your deal? What'd you do? Who'd you diddle? You look like someone good with a gun. You look like someone who could shoot up an office and I hope you are 'cuz I got a plan to get us out of this dump but I'm going to need some help, you think you can give me a hand? I need to get out to my daughter. The babysitter will kill me if I don't get back soon," Blitzo explained, making gestures all the while.
It seemed that to Moxxie, this Blitzo guy was someone he could trust. It would take some time of course, all things considered after what Chaz did to him, but it'd be all worth it. Moxxie smiled tearfully.
Momo had finished his drink, "Oh, so that's how you and Blitzo met before you and Millie married. I'm now curious on how you two met before that though," Momo wondered, "Once I got out, I never looked back," Moxxie finished. Thalass' lure crackled with electricity. He found Chaz turned from an annoying prick to a betrayer douchebag. But he held it in since Crimson was present. Millie, on the other hand, was growling like an animal, and glaring at Chaz, who looked nervous. Crimson frowned, "Well, heh, as you said, it was a long time ago," Chaz stated. He looked in fear at Millie, who was gnashing her teeth at the thought that Chaz had betray her husband before the two even met and became a couple.
The Wrathian was foaming at the mouth now, "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" she screamed in rage, her voice becoming demonic. She leapt onto the top of the couch, slashing at Chaz, who moved out of the way as her knife pierced the fabric. The shark imp hid behind Crimson's chair, "Whoa, the fuck! Crazy bitch," Chaz wailed fearfully. Millie tried to lunge at Chaz again, but Moxxie, Blitzo, Momo, and Thalass held her back. As much as he hated Chaz, Momo couldn't give in to the bloodlust yet. Since for one thing, Chaz hadn't done anything else...yet.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hold on a sec!" Crimson bellowed in fear. He had become afraid of Millie, "You're going to die, bitch!" she hissed. A maid entered the room, "Dinner is served," she announced in a French accent.
Everyone was then seated at the dining room table. Millie was glaring at Chaz, barely keeping her rage in check. Moxxie was cutting his food, looking forlorn. Momo was looking at Chaz with suspicion. And Thalass glared at the shark demon and Mirage bit into his food. Momo took a bite of his roast beef, mashed potatoes, and peas. The whole room was completely silent, "Well, this is aggressively uncomfortable," Blitzo noted, "I suppose you want to know why you're here," Crimson asked, "Yeah, so what gives? You know we kill people on Earth, right? We don't usually do contracts for locals. So, if you want to do business with us, You got to—"
"I don't want to do business with I.M.P. I want to do business with Moxxie," the mob boss responded. Moxxie stopped cutting his food, "ME?" he exclaimed, "Yeah, kid. I only summoned I.M.P to be sure you'd show. Because, well, we're bringin' Chaz into the family," Crimson explained. Chaz smirked and wiggled his eyebrows, causing Thalass to roll his eyes in annoyance, "What? Since when can just anyone join the family?" Moxxie questioned. Crimson took a sip of his wine and set the glass down, "Come on, Mox. You had responsibilities here that I had to pick up once you left," he sneered bitterly, "Now Chaz is going to lighten the load."
"Wait, I thought you always hated his guts," Moxxie pointed out. Chaz looked confused, "Well. I don't know if I exactly 'hated' him," Crimson replied, "You called him a "friendless horse-fucker" and said we lived a "sissy lifestyle"," Moxxie replied, "Yeah, well I was wrong. You've been gone a long time, Mox. A man can change. And so has Chaz," Crimson assured him. Momo looked at Crimson. The fact that he summoned I.M.P just to do business with Moxxie. He felt something was fishy about this meeting, "Yeah. I've grown, matured, and, recently, came into millions! But, y'know, mostly the "mature" thing," Chaz said, making shifty eyes.
"Ohh okay, okay. So the "friendless horse-fucker" over here gets a little moolah and suddenly, it's worth wasting our time over?" Blitzo questioned, "Well, I'm the whole "package" if you know what I mean," Chaz insinuated, pointing below. I.M.P looked at the shark imp in annoyance. So did Thalass, "I got a big dick," Chaz revealed. Momo had a tick mark on his head, "Chaz, shut the fuck up," he muttered. Millie shared the oni's annoyance, "But what does any of this hafta do with Moxxie?" she asked.
Crimson set down his kitchen utensils and wiped his mouth with a napkin, "There's going to be a ceremony tomorrow. Moxxie here is going to officially release his holdings in the organization. Then you can get back to ignoring your family to your heart's content," he muttered bitterly, looking at Moxxie and sipping his wine. Millie stood up, "Maybe he wouldn't "ignore his family" if they didn't force him to rub elbows with a no-good, shark-toothed FUCK FACE!" she growled, glaring at Chaz, who grinned at her. The Wrathian pointed her knife at her neck, threateningly.
"Ey, look, everybody, relax. I know tensions have been high tonight. Say, why don't you stay here and get some rest? We'll have the ceremony tomorrow and then you will be free to leave," Crimson offered. He motioned for his men, "I have your rooms all prepared."
Millie was about to object, but Moxxie cut in to prevent further damage than there already was, "Yes sir," he answered. Millie looked at her husband, "Mox?" she asked. I.M.P, Chaz, Thalass, and Mirage begin to leave the room, "A moment, Moxxie," Crimson spoke up. Moxxie knew he was needed, "Just give me a minute, Millie. I'll be there," Moxxie assured her. Millie looked on with worry as Moxxie stepped back inside the room. Chaz tried to lean into Millie, but he jumped back when she growled and attempted to bite him. The mob men closed the door behind them, leaving Moxxie alone with Crimson.
In the room next, Momo could see that the henchmen now guarded the door on both sides of the frame. Momo knew something was going on, "Nanika ga okite iru," he muttered, "Say what now?" Blitzo asked, "You said Crimson wanted to do business with the company, right?" Momo whispered, "Yes, so?" the imp shrugged, "Then why would just need us if all he wanted was Moxxie? I have a feeling...he's up to something. I need to investigate," the oni said. He then got into a meditative pose and did a hand sign to signal something. The, sneakily, his shadow left and went underneath the door. It shielded itself as an illusion so that Momo's shadow still remained. Then, he found a suitable shadow to eavesdrop in: underneath the table. He went into the shadow. The only thing shown was his red eyes, something Crimson couldn't see nor care at the moment. He began to eavesdrop.
"So, you think you're too good for this family now?" Crimson asked, "What?" Moxxie responded, confused. His father gestured towards him, "C'mere,"
Moxxie approached him, unsure of what he was talking about, "I-I don't understand," Moxxie sputtered. Crimson suddenly stood up and backhanded Moxxie, knocking him down. Moxxie put his hand on his cheek where he was backhanded. Momo, on the other side, shuddered at hearing the slap. Yet he didn't show it in his meditative stance, "Uh...is he okay?" Chaz asked. Thalass shrugged.
Crimson's face twisted in anger, "You think you'll just walk away from this family and never come back? You're dead wrong, Mox!" he yelled, grabbing Moxxie by the collar, "As a matter of fact, the only thing you're right about is that obnoxious piss-stain can't get made. Not unless he marries in!"
"Marries?" But, who would marry-" Moxxie tried to speak up, "Who do you think?" Crimson interrupted, letting his son go and sitting back down, "This family needs that money and it's about time your pathetic ass was useful for something!" he bellowed, "Sir, I'm already married. I-I can't-" Moxxie began, but Crimson cut him off again, "You think I give a shit about your stupid beard?" his father then gave off a wicked grin, "C'mon Mox, I even went through the trouble of makin' the house more to your kind's liking."
Crimson unveiled something on the armrest of his chair, which had many buttons. He then pressed it and bouncing dildos appeared from the dining chairs, walls, vased, and even behind a potted plant. One even appeared from the fireplace. In the shadows Momo's shadowy form was hiding in, he recoiled in disgust. There was even a party ball hanging above the ceiling, pouring out confetti and more dildos. A banner saying, "CONGRADULATIONS GAY" appeared and the sound of a trumpet fanfare was heard.
Moxxie looked at all this, dumbfounded, "Wait What? What do you think I'm into?" Moxxie exclaimed, "What? This is the kind of shit gays like, right?" Crimson shrugged, "First of all, Dad: I'm bisexual," Moxxie protested. Crimson didn't get the hint, "Yeah. Gay," Crimson said plainly, "Oh, for fuck sake! Secondly," he began, holding his hand out to block a dildo from hitting him in the face, "I don't know a single person of any sexuality who would enjoy this," Moxxie argued. But, no surprise to the thespian, Blitzo's voice was heard from the other room, "Ha! There're dicks on the walls! Oh, that is hilarious!" Blitzo cackled out loud. Moxxie frowned because...of course Blitzo would enjoy that.
Crimson grabbed Moxxie's face, "Look at me, kid. One way or another, you're going to do what I fucking say. Don't cross me," Crimson threatened. Moxxie began to reflect everything that had happened during his childhood.
Moxxie, as a child, was struggling to cut his steak at the dinner table. His mother, let's call her Aurelia, gently took the plate and cutted the steak for him. She smiled sweetly at her son and he smiled back at her. Crimson glared at Moxxie. The child took the plate and began to eat his dinner. His father tried to rub his leg against his wife's, but she quickly pulled her leg away from him. Crimson silently stomped his leg in frustration.
Another memory showed Moxxie shooting three bullseyes in the shooting range. Aurelia ruffled his head proudly. Suddenly, a henchmen grabbed Moxxie and rushed him away from his mother toward another shooting range. Two goons prepped a live target as Crimson hands Moxxie a gun and points to it. He slowly takes aim, but in the nick of time, took the gun out of his hand and pushed it back into the mob boss' hands before grabbing her son and walking away. Crimson glared at the disrespect.
Moxxie was later seen hiding underneath the bed as his parents were arguing. A slap was heard and his mother walked out of the room.
Moxxie and Crimson were back at the dinner table. Moxxie once again tried to cut his steak and looked at his father for help. But all Crimson did was glare at him, cigar in hand. Moxxie fearfully went back to trying to cut his dinner. Crimson then took a drag from his cigar and blew smoke into his son's face.
Later on, Crimson and Moxxie were on a boat on the lake with a passenger. The mob boss placed a cinderblock where the passenger's tail was tied to on the side of the boat over the edge. He gestured Moxxie to push it. The young imp looked at the cinderblock and then the pleading passenger. He backed away, but his father pushed him back into the cinderblock. Teary-eyed, Moxxie took one last look at the passenger while pushing the cinderblock overboard, sending the victim into the lake with it. The young imp watched as air bubbles bubbled up to the surface and then faded.
Crimson prepped another body over the side of the boat, "Let this be a lesson, Moxxie," he spoke, gesturing to the lake that was filled with hats, bags, shoes, and all assortment of items floating in the surface, "This is what happenes when you cross me," he threatened. A high heel that resembled the one's Aurelia wore floated to the surface. Moxxie couldn't see it since it was a bit dark, but could feel life from the one he had forced to kill fade. As if he had killed his mother.
Underneath the table, Momo has heard enough, and his shadow slithered away back underneath the door, unseen, "Now get to bed Moxxie. You have a big day tomorrow," Crimson ordered, letting Moxxie go, "Yes, sir," Moxxie said, fearfully, "Oh, and Mox, you ever talk back to me again," he began as Moxxie backed up to the door in fear, "you and that pretty little thang you brought here are goin' home in boxes. Same goes to your yakuza friend. Capeesh?" he threatened, "Yes, sir," Moxxie repeated. His father glared at Moxxie and the thespian quickly found the doorknob and stepped out of the dining room, leaving Crimson alone.
Moxxie quickly went up the steps, avoiding the dildos on the wall, shaken beyond all belief. Millie was seen standing near her bedroom door. Moxxie wanted her comfort, but the shark imp gestured for him to go into a different room, "Wait, how come we aren't in?" Millie asked, running to Moxxie, "Crimson wants you all to stay in separate rooms," the goon instructed, "But why? Moxxie?" she asked, grabbing her husband's hand, "It's just one night Millie, it's ok," Moxxie lied. He felt guilty that he was lying to her, but he was afraid of what Crimson would do.
"Mox are you ok?" Millie asked, "I'm fine please don't worry sweetie," Moxxie answered, "You know you can tell me anything. right?" Millie pleaded quietly, "Yes, everything's fine," Moxxie responded, feeling hesitant on lying to save and protect her, "We're partners, Mox," Millie said, putting her hand on his cheek, "It's just my dad, it's ok really, it'll be over tomorrow," Moxxie assured her, kissing her hand. Millie didn't believe him, but she decided it was for the best that she played along for now, "Ok, I love you," Millie said. The couple shared a kiss, "I love you too. Goodnight," Moxxie said, watching her go.
Moxxie believed that this was more of a goodbye since soon, Crimson was gonna take everything away from him tomorrow.
Momo listened to the conversation between Moxxie and Millie. A quiet rage was building within. Not only did Crimson have no respect for Moxxie's marriage, but he was intent on taking everything Moxxie stood for away from him. Momo then took out his guitar and began to play a verse from the song Freak on a Leash as sung by metal band, Korn. Momo began to sing along, showing sympathy for Moxxie's plight. In his head, he had to stop Crimson before it was too late.
Momo: Feeling like a freak on a leash (You wanna see the light)
Feeling like I have no release (So do I)
How many times have I felt diseased (You wanna see the light)
Nothing in my life is free, is free
Sometimes I cannot take this place.
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste.
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace
Something takes a part of me
You and I were mean't to be
A cheap fuck for me to lay
Something takes a part of me
Moxxie heard Momo sang. At least someone else felt his pain. He opened the door and turned on the light, only to be greeted by portraits of Chaz on the walls, "What the? Fucking why?" Moxxie snarled, facepalming. He walked into the bathroom and washed his face with cold water. He glumly left the bathroom and goes to turn the light off. When he did so however, Chaz popped up on a heart-shaped bed, "Like what I've done with the place?" Chaz asked. Moxxie was not in the mood for the shark imp's presence after what Crimson put him through, "Ugh! Just get out of here!" Moxxie ordered.
"Come on Mox," Chaz said, pulling on the switch which lit up the words, Cum Zone, "We used to have so much fun here. Remember?" He then put his arm around Moxxie. The thespian pushed Chaz off of him, "I'm married Chaz, and even if I weren't, I would never-"
"Never what? Let me take you to cum town again?" Chaz flirted, making the sex gesture on his fingers, "You are so gross! Just leave me alone!" Moxxie reprimanded. But Chaz just grinned, not taking no for an answer, "I know what you want most Moxxie Poxxie," the shark imp offered, spinning the imp around, "How about a sexually charged musical number HEY! You always loved those," Chaz singsonged, pressing a button and a disco ball appeared.
Chaz: Wow
Wo-oa-oh. Yeah. Yeah.
It's Chaz time
As Chaz sung, he got up on the bed.
Chaz: Moxxie I see you looking at me looking at you wondering when I'm going to crack you open like a walnut and the answer is soon~.
Chaz blew smoke from his vape that was built into his microphone and blew it into Moxxie's face.
Chaz: Now I'm feeling how you're feeling and I'm feeling that you want to feel my feelings on a sax-a-phone
Now let me get a little something off my chest while I blow off a hot and emotional load to yours.
Chaz threw his fedora to Moxxie's face.
Chaz: Moxxie, feeling foxy, Want to give me a good taste of your boxxy? I've got two tickets to pleasure land oh baby!
Moxxie then facepalmed.
Chaz: I'm now here to have your way hey yeah, yeah, with my sexual bod-ay-ay yeah, yeah!
Chaz threw his trousers into Moxxie's face as well. Moxxie was getting increasingly pissed
Chaz: So long yeah!
Moxxie had had enough and kicked him out of the room, slamming the door on him. The thespian then slid down to the floor behind the door, crossed his legs around his arms, and began to heavily sob.
Millie paced anxiously around the room, pondering what had been going on. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. At first, she thought it was Moxxie, "Moxxie?" she asked, looking relieved. But when she opened the door, it was Chaz, "What do you want?" she demanded angrily. The shark imp tried to sway Millie as well, but she wasn't having any of it and put her knife on his throat, "Damnit, this usually works," Chaz said. The Wrathian imp dropped the shark to the floor and slammed the door shut.
He then decided to see Momo. But as soon as he opened the door, he was suddenly grabbed inside and pushed to the wall. Momo was mad as hell. He had his scimitars drawn at the ready. Chaz gulped in fear, "Don't you even dare, kuso yaro-domo!" Momo swore, "I know what Crimson is up to, and he won't get away with it,"
"And how exactly do you know?" Chaz asked, "You forget? Or maybe I didn't tell you perhaps. I was a part of a yakuza clan who practiced ninjutsu. In other words, I'm a ninja...and the walls have ears. That means someone could be listening. Now...let's get one thing straight," Momo sneered, getting close to the shark imp's face, making demonic clicking sounds. He was shaking with fear, "In Japan, my former homeland, I'd be consider the namahage...and you the troublemaker who I would punish. And since Crimson is willing to take everything Moxxie worked for, I would say that so the mob boss has chosen death...now get the fuck out of here!" Momo ordered, shoving Chaz out the door before slamming it shut.
He then went over to another room Thalass was in, "Go away!" Thalass' voice was heard. Chaz reluctantly left him alone.
"Okay...never messing with that guy again," Chaz murmured. He then got up and knocked on Blitzo's door, "Hey there, good looking," Chaz greeted, "Oh, I was wondering how long it would take you to make a pass," Blitzo smirked, "Oh, does that mean you're down to clown?" the shark imp asked, "Ew, what the. Do you think I would violate my friend's trust by sleeping with their ex, especially one who fucked them over the way you did?" Blitzo protested, "I'll show you all of the things they liked in the sack," Chaz offered, "Deal!" Blitzo chirped, pulling the shark in.
Moxxie was wide awake in his own bed, listening to the sounds of Blitzo and Chaz having sex in the other room. The sounds of yelling could be heard. The thespian put the pillow over his head in an attempt to block out the sound. Moxxie pulled out his phone and went to his social media, looking at pictures of Moxxie and Millie, one with him on a date with her, the second with the two in bed, the third with the couple singing in theater holding up Phantom of the Opera programs, and the final one with Moxxie and Millie's wedding day.
Tears welled up in his eyes as he cried again. But sadness suddenly turned to anger. After hearing Momo's song earlier, Millie kicking Chaz out, Thalass telling him to go away, and Momo threatening to kill Crimson and possibly adding the shark to the list, motivation began to swell up inside. He growled, knowing that now, once and for all, he will not bend to his father's will. Crimson had no right to dictate his life after everything he put him through and what he did to his mother. No more. He was done being afraid. He was gonna stand up to his mob father.
In the other, Chaz was asleep, snoring loudly, while Blitzo was awake. He started to notice that Chaz was up to something after their sex play. Blitzo even heard Chaz whisper in his sleep, "Oh, I got a big dick,"
Blitzo tiptoed out of bed, picked up Chaz's jacket, and threw it on, "Okay, fucker, nobody who's that bad in bed can score two hotties that easily. I know you gotta be hiding something..." Blitzo wondered. He began to check Chaz's clothing. He found in his pants were his car keys. He smiled and clicked them. Blitzo then began to sneak around the mansion and continued to click the car keys until he found Chaz's car. He got inside and looked in his dashboard. In it, he found an eviction notice. Blitz raised his eyebrow and scowled. Chaz had been lying to them and Crim about him being rich. He then looked around in the trunk, rummaging through a bag and then found a to-do list.
Chaz's Mastur Plan
1. Rent suit
2. Convince Crim im Rich
3. Marry Moxxie to get into family
4. ?
5. Profit $$$
Blitzo scowled. So this was Crim and Chaz's plan all along, "Oh fuck that! No one fucks with M&M's marriage but me!" Blitzo hissed. Suddenly, the imp was injected into the neck with a needle. He groaned and fell unconscious into the trunk. Chaz had caught him and then slammed the trunk shut, preventing him from interfering, "Sorry, babe, you're not the only junk in my trunk!" Chaz chuckled. He stopped himself, "Damnit, that was not a good one!" he muttered, walking back into the mansion.
The next day arrived as Moxxie feared. A goon was filling Crim's mug with coffee. Chaz takes a seat with another mug filled with coffee. Crim though, signaled him to sit at the other side. Before Chaz could protest, Moxxie, Momo, Thalass with Mirage, and Millie walked in, "Hey hey, the man of the hour! You ready to get started?" Crimson cheered. Millie looked around and noticed someone else was missing, "Wait, where's Blitz?" Millie asked, "I think I saw him head outside he said something about needing some fresh air. Or something," Chaz lied. Momo scowled at the shark imp. He knew Chaz was lying to cover his tracks, "Why don't you grab him so we can get moving?" Crim offered.
"Be right back, baby," Millie said, kissing Moxxie on the cheek and heading out. Momo followed Millie. Thalass stayed, "Oh uh, pardon me, Moxxie. I was offered to best man, so..." he said. Though looking at Moxxie, he saw that his life was about to be taken from him, "What ya looking so glum for kid, it's your wedding day, the best day of ya life," Crimson said, which the thespian could hear mockery in his voice. Thalass sat next to Moxxie and Mirage followed, making "beep beep," sounds.
Chaz rubbed his eyes and grinned at Moxxie. The thespian assassin sat down and looked straight at his father's eyes, "I'm not doing it," Moxxie said plainly, "What was that? I couldn't make it out over the sound of you being a whiny bitch," Crimson said. Moxxie had enough. He slammed both his hands on the table, "I said I'm not doing it, sir. I've spent my whole life being afraid of you, but I'm not letting you take the one good thing I've ever had so you can keep your fragile sense of control over everything. Millie is a good woman, a better woman than I deserve, and there's nothing that scares me more than hurting her," Moxxie seethed. Crimson, knowing full well that Moxxie would rebel, nodded at his henchmen, "Not even you. And Momo has been nothing but supportive. If you have had heard more of him, you could say me and Momo are like brothers! I'm leaving, Dad! And if you or Herpes the Clown over here—" Moxxie ranted, "Hey!" Chaz protested, "Try to stop me, you'll learn firsthand just how good I've gotten at my job," Moxxie threatened.
He was now face-to-face with Crimson now. But unfortunately, the goon came behind and tased his neck. Moxxie groaned and fell unconscious, hitting his head on the table and falling to the floor. Thalass shuddered at this. He now know what Crimson planned. In his pocket, there was a remote. He secretly kept it so that when the time was right, he would leave the asshole behind and never return.
"Now take care of the others," Crimson ordered.
Millie and Momo were searching for Blitzo in the parking lot. They then heard a bang coming from Chaz's trunk and saw the car move. Millie used her knife to pry the trunk open, "Blitzo? What the hell happened to you?" Momo asked. Blitzo was stunned and groggy, "Oh, Millie and Momo, you found me. Who's your friend?" he slurred, noticing two people behind them, "Friend?" they asked. They sensed two of Crim's goons attempting to grab them. Before Momo could react, Millie stabbed one with her knife and then beheaded the other using the trunk door, splattering blood everywhere.
In a garden, a makeshift wedding was set up. Crimson had Moxxie in a wedding dress, with his hands bound behind his back in rope and his mouth was gagged with duct tape, a drawing of a happy face on it, "Is everyone here?" the priest, who was an imp based on a hammerhead shark, asked, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't worry about it, let's get this thing rolling, ey?" Crimson responded. Moxxie struggled against his binds, "Awww, you told me all the chairs would be filled," Chaz complained.
Crimson sighed in annoyance and pressed a button. This caused dildos with smiley faces to pop out of all the empty seats, "Satisfied?" Crim grumbled, "Oh, fuck yes," Chaz cheered. Thalass, guarding the gate. He sighed. The angler fish imp wished he could do something. He petted Mirage, who made cute beeping sounds, "I wish I could do something," Thalass said sadly.
"What's going on?" Millie demanded, "That seductive dick-hole is trying to marry Moxxie, and he's not even rich!" Blitzo explained, "Yes. And Crimson planned the whole thing just to drag him back to him," Momo responded. Millie panicked, "Moxxie!" she shouted, running to the front door. But just as she was about to get in, metal shutters blocked off all doors, windows, entrances, and exits to the house, including the front gate to the estate, "Kuso!" Momo exclaimed.
"Do you, Chazwick Thurman, take Moxxie Knowlastname to be your lawfully wedded husband?" the priest asked. Moxxie was struggling and muffling behind the binds, to no avail, "Oh yeah," Chaz chirped, "And do you, Moxxie, whatever, take Chazwick Thurman to be your lawfully wedded...uh?" the priest was confused. Moxxie tried to escape, but his father forced him to face the priest and forcibly nodded his head, Look at that! He's just so fucking happy to be here!" Crimson mocked.
"Everything's locked down! How are we gonna get in?" Millie cried, panicking. Blitzo felt around the jacket and found he still had Chaz's keys. He then opened the cardoor and helped her get in.
Momo decided it was time, "Blitzo, I'll sound the alarm. I think we're going to need back up!" the oni said. He took out his phone and called Loona.
Loona was still in the conference room on her phone when it suddenly rang. She answered it, "Hello, I.M.P," Loona answered, "Loona? Is that you?" Momo's voice was heard. Loona recognized the voice, "Momo? What's going on?" she asked, "No time to explain. Is Draiman available?" the yakuza samurai asked, "Yeah. He just finished a job earlier," Loona responded, "Good. Open the portal to Greed for Draiman. On the double!" Momo instructed before hanging up. Loona understood and went to find Draiman.
Back at Greed, suddenly a huge shark imp, resembling the Megalodon, stomped into the fray. He growled, ready to kill. Millie saw this from the rearview and growled. Momo looked ready to stand his ground. A few seconds later, the portal from the Pride Ring appeared and Draiman, on his motorcycle, slammed into the Megalodon imp, humming the song Night Crawler by Judas Priest, "Dur! Dur dur! Dur dur, dur durrrr! Night Crawler!" Draiman singsonged. He looked at the group, "So, you got someone that needs saving? You go on ahead. I'll take care of this guy! I've been looking forward to this all day!" the metallic sinner cheered.
The Megalodon imp growled and faced Draiman. The Sinner cracked his knuckles and then his neck, "I'm gonna enjoy this," Draiman smirked from his jagged mouth. The Megalodon imp removed his trench coat to reveal his bare muscle chest and two metallic arms. Draiman was excited. Finally, a fight. The two giants charged at each other.
In the car, Blitzo started it, engines revving and seats buckling. He turned on the radio and began changing stations til it changed to the song of their choice on Wrath's #1 F*CK YOU UP Hits, with the song, Crashin' a Muthfuckin' Wedding as sung and performed by Until Further Notice, "Buckle up, Millie... we're doing a Shrek!" Blitzo whooped, backing up.
(Crashin' a Muthfuckin' Wedding - Until Further Notice)
Crimson smirked. Everything would soon be his again. Suddenly, Chaz's car crashed through the walls and Blitzo stepped out, "I objected!" Blitzo shouted before falling over, dazed from the drug Chaz injected.
Millie leapt into the scene, her eyes glowing yellow with wrath, "You want my husband, you're going to have to fucking kill me!" Millie challenged. A guitar strum was heard and Momo landed next to the imp. His arms having split into pairs of three arms each. The top pair holding his guitar in the back and his other four arms out for killing, "Hey, Millie! How about a duet? Let's make this metal slaughterhouse really shine!" Momo whooped. Millie turned to him and smiled with murderous glee. The two of them shaking hands.
Crimson groaned and rolled his eyes. He snapped his fingers and ordered his goons to kill both Millie and Momo. The goons stand up to face them. Millie snarled and began ripping the goons to shreds. She used one goon as a rope, strangled it, and stabbed it to death. She leapt in and sliced a shark imp in half before tearing out another's jaw. She used the jaw to clamp on an incoming one's arm, causing her to kill one his own henchmen, and then Millie directed the gun on goon herself, killing the shark imp.
She began to tear the shark in half, ripping out it's heart with her mouth. Millie spat out the still-beating heart of another shark and continued fighting the four other shark imps with her knife. Crimson was shocked and angry. There was no way the oni and the Southern imp was that strong, "What the FUCK? She's a dame!" he screeched. A goon was thrown onto the alter, hanging there with intestines as a noose. He grabbed the goon and threw his henchman at Millie, "She's a BROAD! Kill her!" Crimson ordered. One henchman was thrown to Crimson and was knocked down. But Millie continued her rampage and slaughtered them.
Millie stuffed one goon into the bouncing dildo, which caused it to impale him and pop his eye out. Another did a choke hold on the Wrathian, but she grabbed the pole and pounded the shark's face with the dildo before impaling the shark through the neck. Another shark shot at her. She used the pole to deflect the bullets and swung the pole, which the dildo flew into the barrel of the gun barrel, causing to explode and kill the imp shark. All the while during the rampage, Crimson was screaming and cursing, "You frigging goons! What the fuck is the matter with you? Why do I pay you!? Get her! You stupid idiots! Go get her!"
Now it was Momo's turn. He turned to the imps surrounding him and played the guitar that was behind him with his upper pair of arms behind him. With his song up next, he played a new song from it.
(You're Going Down - Sick Puppies)
The shark goons stood there, confused. And Chaz stood there, frightened that Momo had shown up. And Thalass' glossy eyes, sparkled with joy. Finally, Momo spoke and unveiled his tanegashima pistol and katana. And then, he sang, ushering in I.M.P's battle cry.
Momo: Define your meaning of war
To me, it's what we do when we're bored
I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop
And it makes me want it more
As Momo sang, he shot two shark imps with his pistol, goring their faces.
Because I'm hyped up, out of control
If it's a fight, I'm ready to go
I wouldn't put my money on the other guy
If you know what I know that I know
Momo then used his katana to slice the goon around him, spraying their blood and bathing the garden in it. Thalass saw this and began marching to Crimson.
Momo: It's been a long time comin'
And the table's turned around
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is going down
I'm not runnin'
It's a little different now
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is going down
The shark imps fell over, dead. Crimson was shaken. Suddenly, Thalass was in front of him, "Thalass. You're my trusted advisor! What do we do?!" he screamed. Thalass crackled his lure, "I know you can do," he said. He then zapped Crimson with his lure, "Ow! What are you doing?!" the mob boss screamed, "YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME WHEN YOU DRAGGED ME TO THIS GOD FORSAKEN PLACE! YOU RUINED MY CHANCE AT A SUCCESSFUL CAREER! AND NOW...I'm gonna break something of yours," the angler fish imp threatened. He took out a remote with a button and pressed it. From the garden, there was a door that opened.
An imp walked out. The cute imp in question waved meekly, "Uh...hello," he said. The imp was dressed in overalls and a blue shirt. He had features of a prehistoric piranha. Crimson saw this and he, Chaz, and the shark goons just laughed, "That's who you'll use to break us?" he cackled. Thalass smirked, "Pygocen, my dear! It's dinnertime!" he called out. Mirage uttered a cheerful "beep beep."
The small kid imp, named Pygocen, suddenly rolled his eyes to the back of his head, bared his sharp teeth, and then leaped at a shark imp, eating away at his face. The goon was screaming in agony as the piranha imp was tearing him to shreds. Crimson looked in horror, "What the fuck?!"
Draiman and the Megalodon imp were still fighting. Their battle caused untold damage to around the mansion. The metallic sinner slammed a car onto the shark imp, who blocked it before Draiman slammed it on his head, "Weak!" Draiman shouted. The Megalodon attempted to hit him, but the metallic sinner ducked and ripped off his dorsal fin, "Puny! Waste of fishfood!" he shot back. The Megalodon transformed his metal arms into blades and the two engaged in a blade fight, "Jurassic fark!" Draiman uttered. The Megalodon imp lifted Draiman and then slammed him into the ground.
(back to Until Further Notice)
Millie was hit with a chair and sent flying into the cracked windshield of Chaz's car. Blitzo yelled and attempted to fight, but due to the drug, his swings were poor in hitting the goon. She then shoved a gas can into the goon's mouth, causing him to choke. Millie then used Blitzo as a weapon, slicing an incoming goon apart with Blitzo's horns and taking the guy's pistol. She shot at the goon with the gas can, exploding him.
The hammerhead priest decided to leave, flipping off everyone still alive.
Momo continued slashing the goons and singing, Pygocen eating the goons alive, and Draiman fighting the Megalodon imp continued. One of the few surviving shark imp gets elbow dropped in the skull by the Wrathian imp, forcing the survivor to chomp down on the goon. She then grabbed and tied a goon up with lights around the neck. Then Millie angrily started the car and dragging the victim around, wrecking the ceremony. Momo bowed in respect, "By Izanami," Momo cheered.
Millie then stopped the car and got out, smoke blurring the view. One shark imp tried to suckerpunch her, but she knocked him out, ending Millie and Momo's slaughterhouse duet. She then grabbed Moxxie over her shoulder. Crimson looked at her with shock. And then he looked at Thalass with Mirage and Pygocen, and then at Momo. He started to realize he been outsmarted. And there was nothing he could do. So he begrudgingly let them go, "Hey! What about my—?!" Chaz's protests were met with Millie shoving a dildo on a pole down his throat, "This ass is MINE!" she screeched, slapping Moxxie's rear. He blushed at this.
Thalass then looked at Crimson in the eyes, carrying his son and pet demon crab in his arms, "Let that be a lesson to you...don't ever cross us again," Thalass threatened before leaving.
Draiman was finishing the fight with he Megalodon imp by blowing a hole in its stomach, "You die!" Draiman shouted before unveiling his metallic wings. The imp was frightened and tried to back away, but the metallic sinner used his giant sword to cleave the Megalodon in half. Draiman has bits of metal missing from the fight and he was exhausted from the fight
"By the way, y'all should probably know, Chaz isn't even rich, okay? Check his car, he just played you like a fucking rube. Later, losers!" Blitzo taunted. Crimson heard it all and was shocked. It seemed Chaz played the mob boss for a fool. As if he needed another thing to go awry. As Millie carried both Moxxie and Millie out, the imp flipped both Crim and Chaz off, "Sayonara, asshole," Momo said, following the imps. Draiman then spat on the Megalodon imp's corpse and went on his motorcycle.
I.M.P hopped the destroyed fence and took the helicopter, with Blitzo throwing Chaz's car keys on the ground. The helicopter flew away with a banner that said "Just Got Married," but now with words saying, "WE'RE Married BITCH!" using the blood and extra fabric. The sounds of Draiman's motorcycle also fading as he rode away into the portal. He was unaware Thalass was dragged into it with him.
Chaz was struggling to pull the dildo out of his mouth. Upon successfully doing so, he noticed Crimson was glaring angrily down at the shark imp. Chaz laughed nervously.
The helicopter arrived back at their office. Loona was still sitting there, giving them an angry shrug. Blitzo, Moxxie, Millie, and Momo disembark the helicopter, which then began to crash since it had no pilot, "Aw, dammit. I was hoping we could keep that," Momo whined playfully. He then shrugged, "Ma ikka," he said.
Moxxie turned and hugged his wife, grateful she was there to save him, "Millie, thank you for saving me. You're amazing," Moxxie professed softly. Millie hugged her husband back, "Next time, just tell me if your dad is a psychopath - I can handle it," Millie cooed, "I guess we're not so different from having shitty mentors, eh Mox?" Momo replied. Moxxie nodded. He was glad his friend was there. Blitzo got his arms in between the imp couple, "Well, I'm glad everything ended up okay. Good to know we both have daddy issues, Mox and Momo," Blitzo said, ruffling Moxxie's hair and shaking Momo's hand, "Also, I got to plow your ex-boyfriend; isn't that great? Now we ALL fucked the same guy," Blitzo boasted. Millie smiled though he rolled her eyes and Moxxie frowned. Though deep inside, he was thankful for Blitzo.
Momo laughed, "You guys," he said nonchalantly.
Just then, Draiman appeared back with Thalass, Pygocen, and Mirage in tow, "Does these three belong to you? They got dragged here from Greed to here," Draiman asked, "You! What do you want?!" Millie demanded, pointing her knife at Thalass, "Whoa, hey! Put the knife down! I didn't come to hunt you down...I wanted to tell you all...thank you for setting me free," the angler fish imp said softly. Millie was confused, but lowered her weapon, "Uh...why?" she asked.
Loona looked at the piranha imp, "And who's the little squirt?" she asked, "That little squirt is my adopted son who me and my wife, Satan rest her soul, found abandoned after an Extermination. We couldn't just leave him there, so we adopted him and we became a family...And then Crimson came and took everything away. I was forced into his mafia group since. And Pygocen was locked in a cell until I freed him and had him ready to rip shit up the day we could escape. And then you all came around and helped me. I am grateful," Thalass said. Both he and Pygocen hugged each other, the two grieving their deceased mother/wife. Moxxie and Millie hugged them with sympathy.
"But now...I can finally do what I'm good at again," Thalass declared. He then ripped off his shirt, revealing another...a doctor uniform, "A doctor? You're a doctor?" Blitzo asked, "Correct. I'm a medical officer," Thalass replied. He then went over and examined Blitzo. He examined the entry where the needle made, "Pygocen, could you hand me my tools?" he asked politely, "Sure thing, papa!" Pygocen cheered. He handed him a toolbag. Thalass then used his lure to examine the spot. And then, he dug into his tools and took out a leech device, "Uh...what are you doing?" Blitzo asked, unsettled.
Thalass used the leech to suck up the drug out of Blitzo's system, "All done," he said. Blitzo then felt great, "Wow. This is amazing!" Blitzo whooped. He then turned and shook the angler fish's hand, "While you may not be an assassin, we would like to have a medical officer on staff. Welcome to I.M.P, the Immediate Murder Professionals!" Blitzo greeted happily.
Momo smiled, pleased to see three new members have joined I.M.P. He even petted Mirage, who made cute beeping sounds. He then smiled at Pygocen, who grinned at his father and Momo.
Back at Crim's mansion, he placed a plaque which had the torn-out jaws of Chaz, having ordered his death for lying to him and conning him about being rich. Crimson then growled and threw a dagger at the portrait that had Moxxie. His revenge would soon come. For his disloyalty to the mob family, Crimson was not done with Moxxie just yet...
Later on, Momo was practicing his guitar with the walls being repaired. He then noticed Moxxie was looking at something. It was a picture of when he was a child, with his mother Auriella. The oni went to him and looked at the picture. The thespian sighed, "That your mother?" Momo asked. Moxxie sighed, tears welling up in his eyes. Millie walked up and sat next to Moxxie. Both of them wrapping their arms on each of his shoulders, "There, there, sweetie," Millie cooed, "I'm sure your mother would be proud of you," Momo cooed.
Moxxie smiled at both his wife and friend, especially Blitzo, "Thank you, guys," Moxxie whispered softly, "But I do know that Crimson isn't finished with us yet. He'll be back to finished what he started soon enough," Moxxie lamented. The samurai had a look of determination, "If that's the case, then as a family of assassins...let them come. We'll kill them all. As for Crimson, that's someone you shall kill yourself one day," Momo assured the thespian. Moxxie looked at him, "You're right. Leave Crimson to me the next time we see each other again," Moxxie said, now determined.
After work, Momo began to discuss the plans for a cover metal band, "A metal band? To quell the bloodlust? And you're looking for people who can play an instrument?" Thom asked, "Yeah. Do any of you ever play an instrument?" the yakuza asked. Draiman began to think for a minute, "Well, I can play the bass, Mau5 can play the drums, and Thom can provide the synthesizers and choir vocals if need be. In fact, he's used a mix of synthesizers and piano mix," Draiman responded, "Drums are my favorite instrument to play," Mau5 boasted.
Momo began to think, "And I got the guitar and vocals to back me up, so that's a start. Now...all we need is a band name," Momo said. The group spent hours coming up with band names. Though some sounded terrible, and others were already taken. Until Momo had an idea, "I got the perfect band name...Namahage Night," he declared.
And now...words uttered by Momo...
Kimo iya - eww
otousan? - father?
watashi wa - my name is
kuso yaro-domo - goddamn son of a bitch
Ma ikka - oh well
Nanite kotoda - oh my god
sayonara - goodbye
And that's the end of that. Momo's plan is about to come to fruition. Now with a cover heavy metal band known as Namahage Night. Namahages are like the Japanese equivalent to the boogeyman in Japan, who show us the consequences of everyone's actions. Makes sense that sometimes when someone goes to I.M.P, and if you slightly wronged anyone if they were alive, they would come for you. Though I doubt namahages were malicious in nature though.
Also I wanted to give Moxxie's mother a name. I mean...I gotta call her something. I thought Auriela was a beautiful name. Now, if word of name for Moxxie's mother does eventually resurface, I will change it. But for now, let's go with Auriela for now.
Next chapter is going to be the last for awhile...at least until the next episode is made. This one will introduce a group of performers that use magic as if it were music visualizers seen in apps.
And now, the voices. And I updated Momo's this time.
Momo Tengan - David Kaye, Johnathan Young (singing voice)
Thalass - Mike Judge
Mirage - Dee Bradley Baker
Pygocen - Justin Felbringer
And that's all for now. If changes needed to be made, I'll gladly provide them. Til then, keep on rocking guys.
