Loona sat at her desk staring at her phone with a worried expression.
"Where the hell is he?" Loona asked, waiting for a response from her phone but nothing came.
It had been a week since Dante, Blitzo, and Moxxie had been kidnapped by humans, while imprisoned he and the others were exposed to this truth gas that caused them to go on some really bad drug trips. Blitzo and Moxxie were able to recover from it but Dante, whatever that stuff was, messed him up really badly. During the rescue when they found him he looked like a fucking nutcase, and when he came back to hell he just went off and Loona hasnt heard from him since.
Loona looked down at her phone again and still saw no response, she had left him a dozen messages and sent him about a thousand texts and no response, hell she even went by his place and no one was home. Loona was starting to get worried. She saw how messed up he was when they rescued him and she was afraid something bad had happened to him.
What if he's hurt, or maybe he was captured again, or ohh Satan what if he's dead? These thoughts raced through her head causing Loona to let out a series of nervous whimpers. The others noticed her whimpering and turned to look at her.
"Hey don't worry Loona I'm sure Dante's fine,"Millie said trying to comfort the hellhound.
"Yeah definitely, he's a skilled fighter, probably the best we have, I'm sure he's ok he's probably just taking some time off," Moxxie explained joining his wife in trying to cheer up Loona, Blitzo just rolled his eyes.
"Best fighter, oh come on Moxx we all know I'm the best fighter in IMP, and besides Loona you shouldn't be so worried about that piece of shit if he ignores you then he's a piece of crap," Blitzo said crossing his arms, Loona just rolled her eyes.
"Are you still mad about the desk?" she asked.
"Yes, I am, I had to get a new one because of you two," Blitzo said glaring at Loona and putting his hands on his hips.
Loona groaned and Blitzo was still upset about finding out that she and Dante were dating. He had been giving her lectures for the past week and she endured them of course he was her meal ticket after all but when he threatened to fire Dante she snapped and told him.
If you fire him, I will tear your horns off and shove them up your ass sideways! He changed his mind quickly after that but he still wasn't happy about the relationship.
"God, I hope he's ok," Loona said looking down at her desk worried.
"Hope who's ok?" a familiar voice asked, looking up Loona saw Dante standing in the doorway.
Millie and Moxxie looked at Dante in stark surprise; they noticed that he looked much better than he did when they were captured. His hair was once again combed and clean, his clothes were clean and free of blood stains, and the crazed look on his face was gone, replaced with a look of calm reassurance. Before anyone could say anything, Loona leapt out of her chair.
"DANTE!" she shouted as she wrapped herself around Dante in a tight embrace causing him to fall over.
"Oh Satan, where have you been? I was so worried, oh who cares I'm just glad you're safe," she said in between kisses, before pulling him into a deep makeout session. The rest of IMP looked on uncomfortably as the two youngsters continued to makeout, Blitzo cleared his throat but they did not notice, he cleared his throat again but louder still no response, Millie reached into Moxxies suit and pulled out a gun firing it into the ceiling. The two stopped their kissing and turned to face the others, the looks on their faces told them that it was not a good time.
"Heh sorry about that," Dante said, embarrassed rubbing the back of his head. The two got up and everyone looked at Dante clearly expecting an explanation to why he was gone for so long.
"Sorry I was gone for so long guys I just had to go and figure some shit out, but I'm good now so there won't be any problem," he said reassuringly.
"Are you sure you're ok, Dante?" Loona asked, reaching out and grabbing his hand.
"Oh, don't worry, trust me I feel… amazing," he stated, raising his hands in the air, doing so the sleeve on his right arm fell down revealing his wrist, for a moment Loona thought that she saw some strange marks on his arm.
"Alright if you're good to go, how about we get to work?" Blitzo said opening a portal to earth clearly ready to move on with his day.
"Works for me," Dante replied following the others through a portal, Loona reached out trying to get Dante's attention. She wanted to ask what was up with his arm but it was too late he was already through the portal.
Probably just my imagination, she thought heading back towards her desk though as she sat there her thoughts still went back to those strange marks on his arm.
On earth, in the forest
IMP waited in the bushes on the outskirts of an abandoned airstrip often used by cartels to bring in drugs. It was for this reason that IMP was here in the first place, the day's target was a drug smuggler who had betrayed his partner for his share of the profits. The Imps sat hidden in some bushes observing a group of armed men standing at one end of the runway.
"When the fuck is this jizz stain gonna get here?" Blitzo asked, fidgeting in the bush.
"He should be here any moment, just be patient," Dante replied, glancing at his boss.
"Easy for you to say, you're not the one with a twig up your ass," Blitzo stated, looking uncomfortable as he tried to adjust his position.
"Hm, I figured you'd actually like that, given your arrangement with feathers after all," Dante said cheekily, Blitzo was about to say something when suddenly started moving his hips back and forth, his face turned to a perverted grin.
Dante and Moxxie both got disgusted looks on their faces as they realized what was happening, Millie on the other hand looked on in interest.
"Jesus sir seriously?" Moxxie asked disgustedly, Blitzo just ignored him and kept going.
"Blitz if you don't knock it off right now, I swear to god I will fuck Loona on the couch you sleep on, and I will go all out, no condoms nothing and you bet your ass I will pull out all over your couch," Dante said, Blitzo's eyes went wide he immediately got off the twig and sat quietly in the bush.
"Yeah, that's what I thought," Dante said with a nod, suddenly they heard a faint buzzing noise looking up and they saw a medium sized propellor plane making its descent down the runway.
Coming to a stop, the doors of the plane opened and out stepped two men. One of them was a big burly dude with a twelve-gauge shotgun, the other was a thin man in a black jacket and white shirt.
"That the guy?" Millie asked as she watched the two groups talk with each other by the plane.
Blitzo lifted up a photo and smiled.
"Yep, that's him alright," he said confidently, before turning to Moxxie.
"You got this Moxx?" he asked Moxxie who raised his sniper rifle and took aim.
Once he got the sight lined up, Moxxie took the shot but suddenly one of the buyers stepped in the path of the bullet and was hit instead. Everyone freaked out and turned towards the direction of the shot, Moxxie quickly ducked down behind a bush but it was too late the target and the others already saw him.
"Shit an ambush, kill them!" the target shouted as he and the others took out their guns and started firing.
"Oh, this just got fun," Millie said excitedly as she brought out a hatchet and charged forward, dodging bullets as she went.
"Yo Moxx Dante I'm gonna help Millie give me cover," he ordered as he pulled out his pistol and followed.
Blitzo ran forward dodging bullet after bullet one of the buyers' henchmen was about to shoot Millie but Blitzo blew his brains out with his pistol, Millie nodded in thanks. He ran towards the target reloading his pistol but as he was about to pull the trigger he was suddenly picked up by his collar by the target's bodyguard.
"No you don't, bastardo," he growled before throwing Blitzo into a tree.
Blitzo slammed into the tree with a loud crash, Blitzo let out a gasp of pain as he fell to the ground. As he attempted to get back up the bodyguard slammed into him pinning him against the tree and began punching him. As the blows landed the little red skull around Blitzo's neck flew off and landed in a pile of leaves.
Blitzo's hands flailed wildly trying to stop the attack on himself as he did his hand landed upon a twig. Picking up the twig, Blitzo plugged it into the eye of the bodyguard. The bodyguard let out a loud scream as he let go of Blitzo.
"Madre de Dios!" he shouted in pain, Blitzo smiled, picked up a rock that was lying on the ground and tackled the bodyguard.
"Madre de Dios this you dipshit!" he shouted as he began bashing in the man's head.
The target looked on in horror as his bodyguard and all of the buyers were struck down by the Imps. panicking he ran towards the plane, got in and began taking off.
"Oh no you don't!" Millie shouted as she chased after the plane, as it began to lift off the ground Millie jumped up and took hold of one of the wings.
Moving quickly Millie climbed up the wing until she was next to the cockpit pulled out a grenade, took the pin out with her teeth and threw it through the window. Letting go Millie flipped through the air until she landed on her feet on the runway, looking up she watched as the plane continued its ascent before exploding with fiery chunks of metal falling to the ground.
Millie pumped her fist into the air as Moxxie scooped her up and brought her into a deep kiss; their celebration was interrupted by Dante.
"NOOOO!" he shouted looking at the burning wreckage in horror. The other Imps looked at him in confusion.
"What's your problem?" Blitzo asked, unsure why he was so upset.
"Oh, uh I just wanted to be the one to kill him," he said nervously rubbing his arm.
"Hah, sorry Dante but I can't let you have all the fun," Millie said, Dante sighed glad that they bought it. Looking towards the wreckage of the plane Dante let out a soft whimper.
I wanted to go through it, see if he had any heroin in there, he thought to himself miserably scratching his arm, he was running low and he was starting to get cravings.
"Alright guys the job's done, let's head back," Blitzo said as he pulled out his phone to call Loona, it was then that Dante noticed something was missing.
"Yo Blitz what happened to your necklace?" he asked, Blitzo reached up and felt his neck, his eyes went wide when he realized that there was nothing there.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit, SHIT, where is it!" shouted clearly distressed as he began looking around frantically for the little red skull.
The other looked on at Blitzo's frantic attempts to locate his missing necklace, confused at why Blitzo was so determined to find this piece of jewelry.
"Don't just stand there help me find it!" Blitzo shouted, the other immediately began looking around but could find no trace of it.
"I'm sorry sir I can't find it anywhere," Moxxie said to Blitzo in an apologetic tone.
"I can't find it either sir," Millie yelled.
"Me neither," Dante followed up.
"Well look harder, it has to be here somewhere," he barked, digging through a bush.
"I don't get the big deal sir can't you just buy a new one?" Moxxie said walking up to Blitzo. Blitzo immediately stopped looking, got up slowly, and turned to face Moxxie.
"What did you say?" he asked Moxxie, his left eye twitching.
"Uh you could buy a new one," Moxxie said hesitantly, taking a step back, it was then that Blitzo grabbed Moxxie by the face and pulled him in close.
"I don't want to get a new necklace and I'm not going to either! So shut that cock warmer you call a mouth and get to searching because no one goes home until we find it!" he shouted throwing Moxxie aside and resumed his search the others followed suit.
7 hours later
Dante groaned as he leaned against a tree, pinching the bridge of his nose. It had been six hours now and they were no closer to finding Blitzo's stupid necklace. Dante let out another groan, his grip tightening on the tree, his talons digging into the bark leaving long grooves. Suddenly Dante began clutching at his stomach with his free hand, his grip tightening on the tree causing it to crack and splinter.
Dannazione1 I need another hit, he thought to himself trying to work through the withdrawal symptoms. Suddenly Dante's phone rang, pulling it out he saw it was Loona.
"Hey Loonie what up?" he asked, trying his hardest not to let his discomfort show.
"Hey what's taking you guys so long?" she asked, clearly annoyed at the delay.
"Yeah, sorry Loona but Blitz lost his necklace so he's making us look for it," Dante explained.
"Seriously?" she asked clearly, having a hard time believing that Blitzo would make them spend nearly eight hours looking for a little skull necklace.
"Yep, he's really freaking out about it," Dante replied.
"Have you found it yet?" she asked, Dante scowled.
"If we had found it, we would be back at the freaking office by now," he said frustration clear in his voice.
"Ok yeesh you don't have to bite my fucking head off," Loona stated, offended by Dante's hostile reply.
"I'm sorry I'm just tired, you know what this has gone on long enough I'm going to go tell Blitz that enough is enough and it's time to go home, be ready to open a portal Loona," Dante stated in a stern voice.
"Got it, talk to you later, love you," Loona said in an affectionate voice.
"Uh… yeah, you too, bye," Dante hung up and sighed.
I still can't say it, Dante thought as he rubbed his forehead feeling a headache coming on.
God, I need a hit now, Dante made his way back to the landing strip to find Blitzo and the others.
Back at the landing strip
Millie and Moxxie stood along the airstrip both watched as Blitzo continued to dig through the leaves and bushes looking for his missing necklace. The two Imps had given up looking for it a while ago and both stared at Blitzo in clear exasperation. Hearing some rustling M&M turned around and saw Dante walk out of the forest, he had a hand on his stomach and a pained look on his face, he clearly had had enough as well. Deciding enough was enough Millie broke from the group and approached Blitzo putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Look sir I think it's time to call it quits, we're not gonna find it," Millie said in a sympathetic voice.
"No, we have to find it, we have to!" Blitz said, shrugging off Millie's hand and continuing to dig through some bushes.
"Sir I'm sorry but we're not gonna find it," Moxxie said approaching his boss, but Blitzo didn't listen he just kept searching.
Suddenly Dante stepped forward, grabbed Blitzo and yanked him off the ground.
"Blitz we're done ok, we're not gonna find it and there's no point looking for it, ok I already called Loona she should be opening a portal any second," as he said that a portal opened, they all looked and saw Loona before them with the book in hand.
Still carrying Blitzo Dante marched through the portal, Loona puckered up expecting Dante to give her a kiss but he just walked right past her, put Blitzo down in a chair and left the room. Loona stood dumbfounded, while Millie and Moxxie stood beside her also confused.
"What's up with him?" Moxxie asked, confused by Dante's erratic behavior.
"Maybe he had to take a shit?" Millie said, remembering how he was holding his stomach earlier.
Several hours later
Blitzo had been in his office for hours now, the work day was over but Blitzo refused to leave his office and since they all carpooled, they were stuck as Blitzo had the keys.
They had all made previous attempts to get Blitzo out of his office but every time he would tell them to go away or just ignore them.
"Well, I'm all out of ideas," Moxxie said as they all looked at the office door, Moxxie turned to Millie.
"You got any ideas hon?" He asked his wife but she just shook his head.
"Maybe Dante's got an idea," she suggested, they all turned to look at Dante who was currently sleeping on the couch.
After they had gotten back from earth Dante immediately went to the bathroom and stayed there for twenty minutes. When he finally left the bathroom, he was in a very good mood, he was very happy and kinda spacey before plopping down on the couch and falling asleep soon after.
Walking up to Dante Millie shook him awake, jolting up with a start Dante looked at Millie and the others with bleary dilated eyes.
"What do you guys want," he said groggily, stretching and yawning.
"We want to go home but Blitz won't come out of the office and he has the keys, got any suggestions?" Moxxie said pointing towards Blitzo's office.
Rubbing his eyes, Dante got up and headed for Blitzo's office, opening the door slowly. Dante slipped in and saw Blitzo laying his head in his arms, the sound of muffled crying coming from him. Walking to him slowly Dante made his way over to Blitzo's right side, the side where he kept the keys to the van.
Just gotta swipe the keys then we're golden, he thought to himself but was quickly taken out of his thoughts when he heard a loud thump.
Looking down Dante saw Blitzo had dropped his phone, at first Dante was going to ignore it but then he noticed something that caught his eye. There was a picture on his phone, curious Dante picked it up and took a closer look.
Dante's eyes went wide and he let out quite gasp, he looked at Blitzo, with a look filled with empathy, he finally understood why he was so upset about the necklace. Quietly Dante put the phone down and headed out the office.
The rest of IMP watched as Dante marched out of Blitzo's office, his face unreadable. Curious Moxxie walked up to Dante and asked;
"So did you get the keys?"
Dante ignored him, marching up to Loona, he scooped her up and slung her over his shoulder.
"Ahh wha- hey!" Loona shouted in protest.
Dante quickly snatched the book off her desk and stuck it in his jacket. With both items he needed he marched into the conference room, closed the door and locked it. Millie and Moxxie just stared at the door in utter confusion, eventually Millie turned to Moxxie and asked;
"You wanna just call a cab?" her tired voice made it clear she was done with the day's shit.
"Yeah," Moxxie replied, pulling out his phone.
In the conference room
Once the door was locked Dante put Loona down in one of the chairs, Loona looked up at Dante.
Ohh wow who does he think he is? just picking me up and carrying me off for some sex without even asking, that's so hot, Loona thought to herself, biting her lip, her face bright red. Normally in their relationship Loona was the dominant, forceful one but seeing Dante take charge and being forceful really got her going.
Loona closed her eyes, her tail wagging furiously, expecting Dante to tear off her clothes and ravage her, but when she heard a whooshing noise, she opened her eyes and saw Dante wearing his human disguise.
"Oh, not this again?" she said annoyed, for the past month Dante has been really into the idea of them having sex in their human disguises, now while they didn't do it that way often she found it weird especially how into it he got when she had it on.
Dante turned to face her;
"Put yours on," his tone of voice indicated that he wasn't asking, he was demanding, Loona just crossed her arms and scowled.
"No, if you want to fuck me your gonna have to do it in this form," she stated annoyed pointing to herself. Dante raised an eyebrow confused.
"Loona we're not gonna fuck," he said matter of factly.
"Were not?" Loona asked, sounding kinda disappointed.
"No, we're going to earth to find Blitz's necklace," he explained, pulling out the book from his jacket.
"What seriously!? You just got back from looking for that stupid thing and now you want to look for it again?" she asked confused at why Dante wanted to go back for the necklace when earlier he had told her he was sick of searching. Dante ignored her, opening a portal, he looked at Loona.
"You coming?" He asked the look on his face told her there was no getting out of this.
Sighing, Loona donned her disguise and followed Dante through the portal.
One earth
Loona and Dante stood in the middle of a forest the sun was beginning to set coloring the sky a deep reddish orange. Loona followed Dante through the forest towards the spot where Blitzo lost his necklace, as they were coming near the landing strip when Dante suddenly tackled Loona, pinning her to the ground.
"Oh god right here right now?! Yes, please fuck me now-" Dante cut Loona off by putting his hand over her mouth. Dante put his finger to his lips in a "be quiet" gesture before pointing towards the landing strip.
Looking closer Loona saw various police vehicles parked on the landing strip with various officers looking over the wreckage and the bodies. The two watched silently as the cops put the bodies in body bags and placed evidence in little baggies.
Dante watched the police as they continued to collect the evidence and put the corpses in ambulances.
Alright we'll wait for these fuckers to leave then we'll start looking, he thought to himself.
he continued to watch ignoring the fact that Loona was discreetly rubbing her ass against his crotch. Dante looked down at Loona with an annoyed expression.
Seriously, how horny is this girl? He thought to himself trying to ignore the growing boner.
Suddenly one of the officers stepped out of the woods holding a red and black ball. Even in the fading light of the setting sun Dante knew exactly what he had found.
Fuck! He thought to himself as he saw the cop put the necklace in an evidence bag, get into a car, and drive off. The other quickly left leaving just Dante and Loona, getting up quickly Dante held out a hand for Loona.
"Come on Loona we got to go to the station and get the necklace back," he said with determination.
"Wait!" Loona yelled; Dante turned to face her.
"What?" He was worried something was wrong.
"You want to fuck first?" She asked, getting on her hands and knees presenting her butt to Dante.
Dante gave her a "are you serious" look Loona just gave him puppy dog eyes and gave her ass a quick shake. Sighing Dante undid his belt, he then walked over to Loona and pulled down her shorts, he then grabbed Loona's head and pushed her to the ground, her ass still in the air.
"We got to make this quick," he whispered in her ear before thrusting forward causing Loona to let out a loud howl that scared away all the birds and could be heard by the police who were already 30 miles away.
"What the fuck was that?" A cop asked his partner.
"Just a dog or something," his partner replied.
outside the station
Dante and Loona both peered behind a corner at the police station, as they watched they tried to determine the best way to get in and get Blitzo's necklace.
"Well, we can't get through the front, so maybe the back?" Loona asked as she studied the building.
"Won't work, the doors are locked and if we pick or break the lock an alarm will go off," Dante explained.
"The roof?"
"Nope, maybe if Millie or Moxxie was here but neither one of us can fit through the vents," he stated Loona groaned.
"What do you want to do then go through the front door?" Loona said sarcastically, Dante was about to reply when he saw a car pull up to the station, watched an officer get out and drag what was clearly a hooker into the station.
"Yes, that's exactly what we're going to do," he said with a smile on his face.
A few minutes later
A young officer stood outside the station, coffee in one hand, his phone in the other. It was his break so he decided to get some fresh air as he drank his coffee, he was about to take another sip when suddenly something hit him in the head.
"Ow!" he yelled, rubbing his head, looking down he saw a rock on the group, picking it up he suddenly heard a sharp whistle, turning he saw a woman with long white hair shaved on one side.
"Fuck you pig!" she yelled, raising her middle finger at him before running away.
Dropping the rock, the officer gave chase demanding that she stop and give herself up. The chase took them through various alleyways before she finally ran into a dead end, the officer stopped and smiled.
"Nowhere to run now you are mi-" before he could finish that sentence a man jumped out from behind a dumpster and whacked him over the head with a brick knocking him out.
"Good work," Dante said as he began stripping off his uniform, Loona smiled, watching as Dante put on the uniform then pulled out a pair of handcuffs.
"Ooh Kinky," she said in a sultry tone, Dante just rolled his eyes.
In the station
A bored looking woman sat at the front desk of the station flipping through a magazine, it was a slow day at the station. There hadn't been anything major just the usual, mostly just processing drunks and hookers. Hearing the door open she looked up and saw an officer with long black hair and sunglasses bring in a long-haired woman in a skimpy outfit.
"Jesus another hooker?" She asked in a bored tone. The woman scowled at her, the woman just ignored her and looked at the young officer.
"Yep, caught her trying to offer me a blowjob," the officer said with a laugh, the hooker just raised an eyebrow.
"Hey I didn't hear you say no," she stated, the officer's face went red as he glared.
"Just take her to one of the cells in the back, we'll process her later," the woman said, the young officer nodded and began taking her to the back of the station.
"Wait!" The woman yelled; the young officer turned startled.
"W-what?" He asked, sounding nervous.
"After your shift do you wanna go get a drink?" She asked giving him a flirty look, the hooker sent her a death glare.
"Uhh I'll think about it," he said as he once again began pushing the hooker to the back of the station.
Dante took the cuffs off Loona who rubbed her wrists.
"Sorry about that," Dante said, tossing the cuffs aside.
"It's cool, let's just get this over with," Loona replied, Dante nodded and began heading deeper into the station. Loona, making sure the coast was clear, bent down and picked up the cuffs, putting them in her pocket.
Later
Dante and Loona moved carefully through the station, discreetly checking each room hoping to find the room where they store all the evidence. After about twenty minutes of discreetly looking and hiding from cops, they eventually found it.
"Alright let's get looking," Dante said rubbing his hands together before going through various cabinets and drawers, Loona followed suit digging through various pieces of evidence.
Opening a drawer Dante found that it was filled with various drugs and other narcotics. Dante smiled with delight as he began stuffing bags of Heroin into his pockets.
"Found it yet?" Loona asked, hearing a rustling noise from Dante's direction.
"Uh nope, nothing, still looking," he said nervously slamming the drawer closed, Loona groaned.
"God Dammit we'll never find this stupid thing," she moaned throwing open a cabinet door revealing the necklace sitting on one of the shelves.
"Huh well that's convenient," Dante said with a smirk, grabbing the necklace and pulling it out of the bag.
"Alright let's get the fuck out of-"
"What the fuck are you doing in here!?" turning their heads Dante and Loona saw an officer standing in the doorway. Dante and Loona were stunned, not sure what to do.
"Uh what are you doing here?" Dante asked nervously, Loona looked at him confused.
"The captain wanted me to get some evidence from the shoot out earlier today," he explained, sounding suspicious.
"Oh yeah they wanted me to grab something too," Dante said, his voice filled with nerves, the officer raised an eyebrow.
"Ok but why is there a hooker with you?" the officer asked, pointing at Loona.
"Ohh my god why does everyone think I'm a hooker?" Loona asked annoyed at everyone mistaking her for a prostitute.
"Maybe you're leaking," Dante said with a laugh.
"Oh, shit am I!?" Loona panicked and looked down checking for any jizz that might be running down her legs.
"Wait a minute what are you-," the cop asked, realizing that Dante had some evidence in his hand. Quickly pulling out his walkie the cop turned it on and said;
"Shit everyone I've caught someone trying to steal some eviden-" before he could finish that sentence a rock in a plastic bag hit him in the head knocking him unconscious. Suddenly an alarm started going off accompanied by flashing red lights.
"Let's get the FUCK out of here!" Dante shouted towards Loona who nodded in agreement but before they could take off, they saw several officers closing in guns drawn. Panicking Dante reached down, grabbed the officer's gun and handed it to Loona.
"You know how to use one of these?" he asked, Loona grabbed the gun and fired, hitting one of the cops in the hand causing him to yell out in pain.
"That answers your question?" she asked with a smug smile, Dante nodded a little turned on.
"Don't kill them alright, just wound them," Dante explained, firing his gun and hitting an officer in the leg.
"Why?" she wondered why he was suddenly showing restraint.
"Because IMP is already breaking the rules going to earth and killing people, a massacre this big without a payment would just cause more trouble than it's worth," He explained shooting another officer in the shoulder.
Loona relented, nodding her head in understanding. Seeing that she agreed Dante motioned for her to follow him and they took off down the hallway towards the exit.
Dante and Loona moved through the station leaving behind them a large number of injured cops all suffering from bullet wounds to either their arms, legs, and shoulders. Dante suddenly stopped and grabbed Loona pulling her behind a door frame.
"Ahh what the fuck?!" she yelled in surprise, before she heard a loud BANG and a large chunk of the door frame was blasted away.
Pushing Loona aside, Dante peeked past the door frame before quickly moving back as the shotgunner fired another round into the wall. Dante stood by the door frame contemplating his next move, the shotgunner was too far out of range to hit, but he did remember seeing another room closer to his position. Turning towards Loona, he told her to cover him as he moved forward dodging another blast from the shotgun and quickly ducked into the other room. The officer fired again but as Dante peaked over the corner, he saw that he was reloading his weapon.
Acting on the moment Dante rushed forward and grabbed the weapon from the officers' hands, surprised the officer tried to take it back but Dante quickly took the weapon and used it to whack the officer in the leg. Shouting in pain the officer fell to one knee when Dante suddenly whacked him with the shotgun knocking him unconscious.
Smiling Dante ran forward when suddenly he got an intense muscle spasm in his right leg. Shouting in pain Dante fell over.
God dammit not now! Dante thought as he grabbed his leg as he waited for the spasm to end.
Unfortunately, it didn't seem like he would live to see that moment as a police officer walked up to him and raised his gun preparing to shoot him. Dante closed his eyes waiting for the bullet to blow his brains out, when suddenly Loona ran forward and punched the cop in the face, sending him flying into a nearby wall.
Reaching out a hand Loona helped Dante back to his feet, giving him a concerned look.
"Are you alright, what happened?" She asked, clearly worried about him.
"I'm fine Loona, don't worry," he assured her, Loona didn't look convinced but she didn't have time to ask as they had to keep moving.
The two finally made it to the lobby of the police station as they headed towards the door the police woman from before shot up and looked at them in surprise.
"What the fuck is going-"she didn't have time to finish her sentence as Loona punched her in the face knocking her out cold. Loona stood over her and smiled.
"Was that really necessary?" Dante asked.
"Yes, yes it was," Loona said proudly. Dante just shrugged and turned back towards the door.
Rushing out the doors Loona and Dante ran to the alleyway where Dante hid his clothes and the book, changing quickly Dante opened a portal and he and Loona quickly jumped through and closed it.
Back at IMP; Blitzo's office
Blitzo awoke with a sudden jolt, he looked around startled before realizing that he was in his office. Wiping the dried tears from his eyes he checked his phone seeing that it was already three am.
"Oh shit," Blitzo muttered to himself, Loona was probably pissed at him, no doubt she had been waiting for him to drive her home. Now while Blitzo loved Loona with all his heart, he was also terrified of her, especially when she was mad.
Getting up from his desk Blitzo opened the door and hesitantly stepped out into the waiting room, bracing the impact of whatever blunt instrument Loona decided to hit him with this time. After about a minute Blitzo realized he was still unconcussed, opening his eyes he saw that the room was completely empty, no one was around.
Did she take a cab? Blitzo thought as he looked around confused.
Suddenly Blitzo heard the door to the conference room open, turning to his left he saw Dante and Loona walk out of the room both looking quite pleased with themselves.
"Oh god did you two fucks in there again?" Blitzo groaned, he already had to replace his desk, he hoped he didn't have to replace the conference table… again.
"No," Dante replied.
"I wish," Loona muttered, crossing her arms. Dante rolled his eyes at her sarcasm.
"We just came back from the human realm," Dante stated proudly.
"What! Why the fuck where you two on earth? I mean did you go there to fuck or something!?" he asked, stunned that his two youngest employees were messing around on earth.
"No," Dante said.
"Yes," Loona replied with a smile on her face. Dante turned to face her giving her a "are you serious'' look, he was about to say something to her but just shrugged it off and turned back to Blitzo.
"We were on earth because we were looking for this," he reached into his pocket and pulled out Blitzo's red skull necklace.
Blitzo looked at the necklace completely stunned, he stood there still for several seconds before eventually reaching out and grabbing the necklace, hugging it to his chest.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Blitzo shouted with joy, tears forming in the corners of his eyes.
"Where the hell did you find it?" Blitzo asked, looking at his daughter and her boyfriend.
"Don't ask," Dante replied curtly, Blitzo raised an eyebrow but decided not to push further. Reaching forward, Blitzo grabbed Dante and Loona and pulled them both into a tight embrace.
"Thank you, thank you both," he said through tears.
The hug lasted for five minutes and showed no signs of ending, Loona and Dante looked at each other both clearly uncomfortable with the situation. Eventually both sick of the hug wormed their way out of it.
"Alright now that that is over, how about we head home," Dante said ready to end the day.
I could really use a hit about now, he thought, scratching his arm.
Later in the IMP van
The van stopped in front of Dante's apartment, Dante opened the door and quickly climbed out ready to put this day behind him.
Hearing the click of a car door Dante looked behind him as saw Loona walking up to him.
"Woah Loona what are you doing, won't Blitz be upset?" He asked nervously as he knew Blitzo wasn't happy with the situation.
"Have fun you two!" Blitzo shouted before he drove off leaving a stunned Dante to stare off after the van.
"Wait, is he?"
"Yep," Loona replied with a smile before pulling Dante into a kiss.
The two lovers headed up the stairs towards Dante's apartment, as Dante was unlocking the door, he heard a clicking sound. Turning around he saw Loona holding a pair of handcuffs.
"Why do you have those?" Dante, surprised to see Loona, decided to keep the handcuffs.
"Because I'm a naughty girl who needs to be taught a lesson, right officer Dante," Loona said in a sultry tone, biting her lip and giving Dante a look filled with lust.
Dante stood frozen, a blush forming on his cheeks, Loona took the opportunity to open the door and push Dante through before closing it with a loud slam.
Epilogue
Dante walked out of the bedroom, gently closing the door so as not to disturb Loona who was sleeping peacefully. Moving down the hall Dante entered the kitchen and pulled a bottle of wine out of the fridge. Uncorking it with one of his talons he made his way towards the living room and sat down on the couch, taking a drink from the bottle Dante yawned and laid back against the couch. He was tired, so goddamn tired, but he didn't want to go to sleep, he hated sleep because every time he slept, he had nightmares. These nightmares were intense and often painful, he would often wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat unable to go back to sleep. The only time he could really get any sleep was when he was high, heroin made him drowsy whenever he shot up, he always found himself nodding off and falling into a deep sleep. This deep sleep was often free from nightmares, it was because of heroin that Dante was able to have his first good night sleep in years. Dante groaned again and took a deep drink from his wine.
Today was a hard day but in the end, it was worth it to get Blitzo back his mother's necklace. To say Dante was surprised to learn that Blitzo's necklace once belonged to his mother would be an understatement. Blitzo never really talked much about his family, yeah, he had those posters of him and his sister during his time in the circus but he never really talked about those times. When Dante saw the picture of Blitzo's mother suddenly his reaction suddenly made sense, he understood why that necklace was so important to him. Dante smiled; he was glad he could reunite Blitzo with a memento from his mother.
I wish I had something like that, Dante thought to himself.
Suddenly the smile on Dante's face disappeared, replaced instead with a look of great sadness. Dante started drinking from the bottle, sucking it down as quickly as possible hoping to keep those memories at bay, but sadly it was no use. The memories of his parent's murder flooded his mind, he could hear the screams of his parents as they were slaughtered, he could smell their blood, he remembered the sight of the knife going in and out piercing his mother heart over and over again, and worst of all he could still see his face, oh god his horrible, horrible face! Dante continued to drink hoping to push these dark thoughts out of his head but sadly the bottle was empty tossing it aside Dante was about to get up to get more when he remembered something important.
Opening a drawer in his coffee table Dante pulled out a piece of string and a needle filled with a dark brown substance. Tying the needle around his arm he tightened it until the veins in his arm started to bulge. Sticking the needle in Dante took notice of the track marks that were starting to form on his arm, he would have to do something about those Loona had noticed them and he knew the other would probably notice as well. Pressing down on the plunger Dante sent the heroin into his veins then untied the torniquet. Suddenly Dante felt a wave of euphoric pleasure wash over him; he laid back on the couch the memories of his parents' deaths fading away instead, replaced by a memory long buried in the deepest part of his mind. He was a child no older than four years old. He was running down the road when he tripped and fell, like most children that age he started crying that is when a woman in a lavender dress came up to him. Dante didn't really remember her face but he did remember her flowing black hair and her soft sweet voice. Pulling him to her chest he could hear the soothing rhythm of her heartbeat; she soon started singing a beautiful lullaby that coupled with her heartbeat caused him to drift to sleep. Dante curled into a fetal position smiling, he wrapped his arms around himself, and fell asleep a tear forming in the corner of his eye which soon rolled down his cheek.
"Mama," he said quietly as he soon lost consciousness.
