The next day, the dawn of the underground, Helliva Boss's headquarters, it was here in the receptionist's room that a black telephone with bone inlays began to ring with great intensity, and as the moments passed, a wolf lady sitting in front of the table, with gray hair, in a gray top and black pants, waved nonchalantly with a long fluffy tail, Loona looked at the phone with her red eyes with white sclera, Loona, turning her phone in her right and left hand, looked at the ringing phone with visible weariness, Loona shook her head, wrote the last text message and nonchalantly answered the phone, accepting, as it turned out, another order from one of the most important princes of the underworld.
- yes, I understood, Mr. Stolas, yes, yes!, I wrote down, I'm not that lazy, I'm going to do it, I'll pass the order on to Blitzo. Loona said as she hung up the phone and finished writing down a new order regarding their main target, a scientist named Tom Clark.
Loona looked slightly tired at her new responsibilities and the piece of paper in her hands, looked at the reception room, removed her paws from the table, straightened her black socks and slowly stood up, walking to the room where her adoptive father was currently discussing a new strategy regarding future orders should they be placed.
Loona passed a couple of cabinets, a pile of scattered papers and a refrigerator in front of which I was very proud, she stopped and reached for a sausage, a carton of milk and a can of stronger drink, first quenching her thirst for hunger, quite loud clicking could be heard in the room and Loona, as usual, disregarded her duties in a nonchalant way and when she finished, she threw the milk carton and the empty can at the counter next to the trash can and, looking back at the written piece of paper and the new order, she belched loudly and opened the door to the conference room where, at the black table, her adoptive father Blitzo was discussing the new strategy with the other imps.
Standing in front of the table, Blitzo was a scarlet imp dressed in the usual red jacket, his stained red horns slightly bent back and his red-yellow eyes darting between his two colleagues expressed yet another great excitement at the new plans of action he was concocting but these plans, as usual, turned out to be either similar to the previous ones or usually unsuccessful, as is the case today when both of these elements were combined at once.
- remember, we have to watch our backs this time, and prevention, prevention above all, that's the most important thing. Blitzo said, waving his hands at the pair of imps and his subordinates, while the two imps listening to him, Moxxie and Millie, glanced at each other in slight confusion.
A red horned imp with white freckles and chewed eyes, Moxxie nervously placed his hands in the pockets of his black pants in front of his black coat, looking at his wife with a slightly embarrassed look because as usual, he had a better plan but who usually listened to him especially now in this day and age, well, apart from his wife sitting next to him and touching his right leg with her hoof.
Sitting next to Millie, Moxxie's wife, a red lady imp with two horns and usually wearing a slightly torn black outfit, closed her right yellow eye in praise and smiled at her husband, knowing that Blitzo's new idea was not much different from the previous one and after all, when Blitzo he was just finishing, hiding his hands in his black jacket. Millie looked at the gray gray hound lady standing in the open door and her embarrassed look at the whole situation.
- Loona, someone called, do you have a new order?. Millie asked.
- daughter, what have you got, show it to daddy. Blitzo said caringly, stretching out both paws to his adopted daughter, to which Loona growled slightly because she didn't like these terms very much, but without any words he passed on the new order given by Stolas.
- Stolas called us, we have a new assignment in Boston, apparently Verosika in New York failed, and Stolas decided to hire us for this task as well, we are supposed to take out some scientist named Tom Clark. Loona said and Blitzo, who heard her, immediately took the written piece of paper and when he read it, he placed it on the table full of determination and excitement.
- so I can go now. Loona asked, but before she got an answer, she quickly turned around on her wolf paws and loudly closed the door behind her, returning to her irreverent duties.
- you know what this means, our competitor has failed, and we have a chance to surpass her for good. Blitzo said, his usually motionless horns seeming to tremble slightly.
- she failed, she probably returned to the problem she knew, whoever is an alcoholic will remain an alcoholic for the rest of his life, that's it. Moxxie said, supporting himself on the stole with his right and left hand before he jumped up and looked at his wife who gave him a strange look.
- and I thought that we would have the day off and, you know, this day was supposed to be special for us, baby. Millie said, closing her right eye and then her left one, shaking her tail left and right.
- be quiet, take a break today, we're going to Boston immediately, from what I'm writing here, this scientist, a certain Tom Clark, is working on the finishing construction of the new Football stadium, we'll find him there, and remember, buying prevention, if we manage to do it we will outperform our biggest competition, and now quickly. Blitzo said, putting on the table a book of power covered with strange black writing and inlays that allowed him to quickly open portals to the human world.
Before another word was uttered, Moxxie, as always thinking for everyone, was cutting out a couple of Uzi pistols and a couple of grenades from the cabinet, preparing for the worst, and Millie, his wife, spun her black axe, ready to fight as always with the same enthusiasm and a smile on her black lips.
- well, let's go, we have less time today than usual, and me and Moxxie have something else to do today, so let's not waste time. Millie said with her familiar vigor and confidence.
- Um, yes, we have a few things to do, and no, Blitzo, don't even think about recording us today, otherwise. Moxxie said to Stolas's Grimoire Blitzo standing in front of the power book.
- yes, I know, I can't promise any cure, but now attention, we're ready, as far as I know, our target is currently at the stadium. Blitzo said and then he opened a rift to the human world with the power of the book and went with Moxxie and Millie to the other side.
The three funny and dangerous assassins entered the newly built stands where yellow and green tables were already placed in front of the main arena of American Football, where the freshly laid grass smelled slightly and the setting sun was disappearing behind the upper part of the stands and the stadium itself was now almost empty and barely lit. four lights, but it was not completely empty because, as the client wrote, today the newly built stadium still had its guests and one of them was supposed to be a sought-after scientist named Tom Clark, but from the very beginning something about it didn't fit.
First of all, this scientist, or more precisely an engineer, marching on the grass in a reflective green jacket and blue pants was completely black, even the color of his eyes did not match the description because his eyes were gray, but this was probably not what surprised the most, especially two of the imps, and that a scientist, a certain Mike, was walking arm in arm with a certain girl, a blond-haired girl wearing a green reflective vest and tight white pants looked into her beloved's eyes with her big green eyes, whispering something in his ear and the sight of them made Millie forget about her task she offered her right paw to Moxxie and melted slightly at the sight of the two lovers.
- oh Moxxie, do you remember our dates, those sparklers, those explosions, the crazy, hands-off ride, kiss me. Millie said before she was maliciously pulled by the left corner of her head by Blitzo.
- be quiet, this is not the time for humor, it's better to find out from them where Tom Clark is hiding, I have a feeling that this man probably knows that we are looking for him and is hiding somewhere in an unknown place and now behind me. Blitzo said as he picked up the Uzi and walked down the newly constructed spectator area and area.
- arr, he always has to be like that, dedicated to work. Millie asked as she followed her boss.
- well, Blitzo is like that, Millie, if we hurry up today we'll get back to you-know-what sooner. Said Moxxie, winking at his wife, and the red lady imp, seeing this, grabbed her ax, knowing what awaited her today, she ran ahead of Blitzo, jumping high above the ground and rushing to the two lovers, full of fierceness and determination, but when she saw two people kissing, her enthusiasm suddenly disappeared and the ax skewed the direction of the blow to the left.
- Kate, I love you, I want you to be my wife. Said engineer Mike, kneeling in front of his beloved with a diamond ring in his right hand, it was the moment when everything slowed down for a moment, when Millie saw it first, she twisted her flight and the other imps landed on the grass, looking at what was happening, and Kate, a blonde-haired girl she allowed herself to put the ring on her hand and hugged her beloved, and after it was all over, Kate and Mike trembled when an angry Imp landed behind them with an ax in his hand, knocked down by a small luminous figure without a halo rushing through the air.
- Cletus!. Blitzo spat out bitterly, looking at the sky where a small cherub in an orange suit was spinning rapidly on his blue and white wings, holding a loaded hatch in his hands.
Before the first words were spoken. Blitzo, running in a ball, started shooting at a small figure without a halo, just like Moxxie, who was throwing the first grenade, and Cletus, rushing through the sky where the night was already covering everything, made a few turns, making turns and shooting from his luminous bow, his arrows going as fast as the bullets fired and their series, everything was interrupted for a moment not by the explosion of a grenade but by the scream of a girl in her beloved's embrace.
Cletus, seeing what his rivals had come with, landed in front of them with a loaded bow, but he trembled when Millie calmly passed him with an ax in her hand, who, as it turned out and to his even greater shiver, showed him no malice or hostility, but it didn't change the fact, Cletus was ready. to fight everyone to defend innocent people to get back what he was losing, just like his friend Collin managed to do.
- enough, I won't let you harm strangers, you hear me, I won't allow it, thanks to this I will earn a new halo, just like my friend Collin did. Cletis said as he stood in a defensive stance in front of the three imps including Blitzo and Moxxie holding him at gunpoint.
- so he left you, wasn't it nice of him, oh Cletus, you're alone today, huh?. Blitzo said, sounding naturally mischievous and turning his yellow eyes mischievously to the little cherub who was slightly grinding his teeth.
- if you are so selfish, you will definitely not get the gift of regaining your halo, it is done selflessly. Moxxie said, sounding equally malicious, hiding his hands behind the back of his black jacket, and Cletus stammered.
- I won't do it mainly for the halo, I do it for their good, you hear them. Cletus said, standing in a defensive position in front of Mike and Kate.
- besides, we don't have to hurt them, it's not Tom Clark, he's white, right. Millie said, leaning on her ax and her words made everyone, imp or cherub, suddenly clutch their stomachs, feeling very nauseous.
- Millie, please don't do this to me, my stomach is in my throat, you support this white rat. Moxxie asked, looking at Millie and her black-lipped smile in disbelief.
- and why not, besides, look how in love they are, it's so cute, you don't remember us from those sweet, young years. Said Millie, leaning on the ax with wide eyes at the beloved couple, who were now completely confused and began to stand up carefully because they didn't understand any of it anymore.
- this is truly unprofessional, Millie, you're crazy. Blitzo asked, the only one not letting up and keeping his Uzi pointed at Cletus and the two lovers behind his back.
- you can't do this to me, you red one, you, you, you, oh you, it makes me feel sick. Said Cletus as he lowered his bow seeing that p and the first one of his enemies today was not his enemy.
- wait, imp, cherub, but how, so it's true, and I thought how stupid I was, but why me, Tom?, my friend, what do you mean. Mike asked, rubbing his eyes in surprise until his face was grabbed by his fianc e Kate.
- hush Mike, don't tell them anything, these reds, these imps want to hurt your friend and now that he went to Spain to propose, Em. Kate even said too much and was grabbed by the mouth by Mike's strong black hand.
- be quiet, it was supposed to be a secret, but now, Em, about what's happening again. Said Mike when everyone was suddenly alerted by the screech of an approaching motorcyclist, everyone grabbed their weapons, Uzi, axe, pistol and luminous hatch, but before the imp and cherub could react, the mysterious motorcyclist made a quick turn covering everyone with a large amount of dirt.
The motorcycle stopped in place and the dropped earth knocked down three red imps and a small cherub, covering them with earth and newly planted grass up to their heads, and when this happened, the mysterious motorcyclist in a black suit got off the motorcycle and it drove arbitrarily back towards the entrance to the stadium and after all, all you could hear was an explosion as a motorbike driving on its own collided with a tanker carrying beer.
- what is this supposed to be, oh my god, it's impossible. Cetus said, digging himself out of the ground, and when his large light purple eyes saw a killer in a black suit aiming at him and the imp digging himself out, he froze in place because in front of him was someone whom even death itself feared.
- what's up, who, what!, John Wick. Blitzo whispered, standing before his idol and currently his greatest threat.
- it's impossible, John Wick. Moxxie whispered on the verge of his own fear because he had heard too much about the man who had literally destroyed the world's pool and now he had Walther pointed at him, a look full of focus and determination, that cold and ruthless face slightly hidden under long black hair and a thick beard, but the eyes, as a mirror of the soul, those brown cold eyes spoke too much.
- John Wick!. Millie shouted, grabbing the ax and her action caused an immediate reaction, because John pressed the trigger and fired a bullet saturated with a strange, unknown power, a power capable of erasing all beings, hell, heaven and newly born spawns of pure nightmare.
One precise bullet hit and poisoned Millie with her ax which rolled far beyond her reach and she, feeling a strange power on her, fell to the ground, trembling slightly, while Cletus, who was watching the beginning of the fight, simply stared at what came.
- it's impossible, power, hurting the imp, demon hunters have been extinct for a hundred and twenty years, but your power, no!. Cletus shouted, grabbing his bow and shooting first.
This is how a real cannonade began, Cletus fired the first luminous shot, making sure that he would stop the killer for good, but at the very first moment the small cherub shuddered because he saw the impossible, his arrow, although flying towards the killer, passed him just like he himself, John quickly dodged left and walked calmly towards the cherub and the imps standing next to him.
- but how, how you!, how!. Cletus squeaked, they can't understand what he saw.
Cletus grabbed the next arrows and fired again as John started running to the right, he thought the first shot had missed by accident, but when the fourth arrow missed the target and John feinted past the next arrow, Cletus shuddered even more, but no more than the two imps who were looking at him. a killer well known to them, who today showed new abilities that defied the laws of physics and normality, because no human was able to bow to arrows and bullets.
When Cletus shot another arrow again, John turned around again, missed another arrow, making a light glow around himself, and pulling Walther from under his black jacket, he took aim at the little cherub, and when he pressed the trigger, everyone watched in complete shock as the glow left by the bullet showed its manifestation of a strange the power that a mortal man wielded, the ball with great force hit the upper part of the golden arc, completely destroying it and causing a small shock wave, surprised and completely confused, Cletus fell to the ground, shaking his white and purple wings, rolling his eyes in circles until everything stopped at the direction he was walking in. assassins, and the black bald engineer Mike, who was watching the battle, holding Kate's blond hair close to him, was trembling just like her, having something in front of him that was already difficult to explain, and even more so now, but before the next word was uttered, two imps started shooting.
Blitzo, seeing and knowing that they could now be the killer's next target, picked up the semi-automatic and pressed the trigger. Although the face of the killer he knew was already terrifying enough, the current condition was even worse because now, in front of his eyes, despite the rapidly firing semi-automatic, Blitzo saw only strange repeated images and the evading assassin, his speed, determination, calm and efficiency combined with an impossible maneuver made the scarlet imp commander tremble as much as his uncertain widened yellow red eyes, everything in front of him began to crack even more so his confidence in what was coming.
Despite the image of impending doom, Blitzo loaded another magazine and raised his gun, and then a shot was fired, shattering his semi-automatic and sending him crashing to the ground in the middle of the large, newly built American football stadium, Blitzo looked in complete shock at his hands and the man lying next to him also looked at his hands in shock. In great shock, Cletus began to shake his head, remembering the long past.
- it's the power of a demon slayer, but it's impossible for him to hurt us with his power, like him, it's impossible. Cletus said.
- after all, any weapon can harm us, I must admit that it is dedicated especially to us, but this!, this is something I haven't fought with yet, oh no, Wick!. Blitzo shouted as the killer's ominous shadow appeared over him and Cletus.
- leave them alone, you hear or!. Shouted Moxxie, a small red imp with yellow eyes in a black outfit, holding a cocked grenade in his right paw.
Wick silently looked at the furious little imp and moved forward, although his step was now directed only at the shocked engineer in a reflective jacket, his movement was perceived as a frontal attack, Moxxie, seeing what could happen, threw a cocked grenade and it was shot through in less than a second and blown up, Wick with great speed shattered and blew up the thrown grenade, causing its explosion to be chewed from the imp's hooves, depriving him of consciousness, and Millie, who was lying slightly confused, seeing her husband in such a tragic condition and the approaching robber with a gun in his hand, got up, carried with new strength, Millie grabbed her ax and, screaming and wearing black lipstick, launched herself into a mad attack, and Wick, before he heard the first scream, turned his full attention to the engineer and his current fianc e.
- tell me where I can find your friend, Tom Clark. John Wick asked and Mike's gray eyes widened, asking himself the same question.
- why did he, I, I mean, Tom Clark go. Mike said before Millie's scream stopped everything.
- you permed boor!, leave my Moxxie!. Millie shouted, making a great leap towards the killer, who looked behind him with great speed.
Mille struck with all her strength and great speed, but her widened eyes could only see John make a quick uh, stand to the side and draw his weapon, Millie could actually do nothing, her ax stuck deep into the green grass and she felt the weapon in front of her left temple, she saw the killer's cold face and his focused brown eyes, but she saw no desire to pull the trigger in his eyes.
- so what are you waiting for, pull the trigger unless you've gone soft. Millie said defiantly as she raised her axe.
- I can do it with my hands. John said, hiding the Walther under his jacket.
Millie, pulling the ax, spun with him, trying to reach the target, each of her blows was fast and full of sweeping fury, the black ax spun around and Millie, fighting for her beloved, jumped into the air, showering the opponent with a hail of blows, but again John jumped over and made quick turns Viminal every from her blows, which was again surprising to the cherub watching the fight and the imp commander.
- it's simply impossible. Cletus said, almost in a whisper, trying to get up.
- I don't believe it, come on, I see it, even he wouldn't be so effective at dodging bullets, it's inhuman, no human, but like, demon hunter, they're gone, the last of them. Said Blitzo, trying to get up quickly, and his horns trembled slightly as did he.
- it's something else, I saw and felt its power, it's something from another world, not what I say, it's heresy, I shouldn't! Cletus shouted as he and his orange jumpsuit trembled because once again he and Blitzo saw something that defied the laws of physics, and it was an image when John, easily passing the crazy blows, easily shot forward, striking with one precise kick.
One kick at the base of the ax was enough and Millie suddenly fell to the ground, losing her weapon, which landed on the other side behind the killer's back, and John, reacting immediately, grabbed Walther, pulled him out from under his jacket and directed him in one direction, when everyone was hit by this strange cold chill. on her back, Millie trying to get up, run, do anything she could only watch as John took aim at her rising husband with a torn black jacket, Moxxie, seeing John aiming at him and pressing the trigger, stuttered and Millie jumped into the line of fire, she just screamed one word.
- NO!. Millie shouted at the same moment a shot was fired.
Meanwhile, in the underworld, at the reception of IMP, Loona was sitting in front of the reception desk, leaning against the wall, and constantly using her phone, for her it was just another simple day, a boring day, a day like every other day, until her red eyes suddenly twitched. and it wasn't about another SMS, but what was contained in it, and it was impossible to understand information, a message sent from Virtex, at first seeing the addressee Loona wanted to delete this SMS, because Vortex was once close to her, but after that when Vortex told her that he had a girlfriend and was currently taken, Loona was very angry with him, but something she doesn't know what forced her to read Vortex's SMA.
- what?, resurrected, nightmare shadows, what is it, oh Vortex, sometimes you feel crazy and it's not bad and no wonder, your girlfriend Queen Beelzebub. Loona said with a hoarse voice full of rage and even contempt for Vortex, while shaking her fluffy tail and straightening her gray hair, and when she growled furiously at the text message, but the second one that came after the first one was more credible and serious.
- what?, John Wick!. Loona shouted, jumping out of the chair and taking a closer look at the second text message. For a moment, Loona did not want to believe what was contained in the second message from Vortex, but with every moment her white-gray fur under the top and black pants with the moon visible began to tremble slightly, because apart from further unconventional information, Vortex also sent a photo of the killer walking away, and that in itself was authentication of everything.
Loona, finishing reading the message from Vortex, put down her phone for the first time and was shocked, they heard a lot about the man who destroyed the global mafia underworld, the man who sent many evil souls to hell and himself was the object of the fight between two worlds, and today everything seemed to be rushing like a crazy locomotive , after a year of peace, John Wick returned and began to spread strange chaos no greater than a newly emerging unknown enemy.
- you!, how is it possible to bend under bullets, how!, and those shadows!, what is it?. Loona said, growling under her breath, her shock quickly disappearing, replaced by fury at herself, angry that something could surprise her so much.
- shadows, the one for which two worlds fought, what is it, wait, b, b, and there is Blitzo, no, wait, where is it. Looina said, looking for a contact on her phone, she finally found it under the dad section.
Loona, as Blitzo's adoptive daughter, usually showed little feelings towards her father, but sometimes she was even worried, and after almost calling him dad, she decided to sign her father's number under the dad section.
Loona, once again divided between anger at herself and what had started and was happening, quickly dialed the number and put the phone to her left wolf ear, waiting for an answer, but this time the phone answered only with a long beep and no answer, which could mean the worst.
- what's going on, dad, gggrraaaa!. Loona shouted, furious with herself again, slamming her hands on the table where the black telephone had fallen, Loona began to shake her head, not knowing what to break or what to think, everything was possible, everything but not what suddenly shook her heart, a great fear of a possibility that had never happened before. she wanted to see, but fear was already taking its toll and everything seemed to be heading towards only one thing, tragedy.
- Wick. Loona whispered, unable to believe one more thing, that this killer had found them, although it was known that fighting him was rather a suicide attempt even for the IMP team, the information about the killer's supernatural abilities made a strange fear run down the wolf lady's spine, so that Loona trembled slightly, both her high ears and her long fluffy tail.
- it can't end like this, no, he's not there, how could it be, but no, don't even think like that, Loona, remember, it won't end like this, but he, the demon hunter, like, no, it's impossible. Loona said, clutching her head and her trembling ears to calm them down a little, but everything was already shattered by anxiety and fear, and everything in the human world was rushing towards a great tragedy.
L
Is this really the beginning of a great tragedy, it is known that John Wick is a man who will not give up until he completes his task, and what's worse, another darkness is coming, is this the beginning of the end, or will John gain a new mortal enemy today in the form of Millie.
