Greetings, fans of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss! I have published this chapter! This story is no longer added with adult themes such as swearing, sexual references and violence. Though, I put some minor curses on the story. Enjoy reading one of my best stories!
Chapter 1 – The Man Who Knows Pt. 1
A ray of light shines down on a leather-bound storybook. The book opens its pages and the voice of narrator reading its text before reveals the illustration of the Edin or better known as Pentagram Island.
"Once upon a time, there was an island known as Edin, home to the Hellish Demons."
Two pages showed Lucifer and Lilith seated on their royal thrones and another page showed Charlie Morningstar, a young demoness.
"For many eons, the demons have served both rulers on the island, Lucifer, and Lilith. Their remaining heir is their daughter, Charlie Morningstar."
On the next pages, uprising threats appeared on the pages, and both rulers held their daughter protectively.
"There are many threats uprising from aftermath of Great War of Dark Ages, the two demon rulers will do anything in their powers to keep the princess safe."
Hovering over the next pages, depicting both illustrations consisted of humans grown fear with monsters and demons and the island veiled by Lucifer's spell.
"To put an ease of humans fears and discriminations against Monsterfolk and Hellish Demons, Lucifer put a spell to cloak over the island while his wife used her voice and her songs to soothe the demonkind and expanded its lands and territories."
The book turned its pages, displaying the angels descended from the sky including Adel and Pit and they are seen participating in playing Hard-Strike Ball.
"For every 10 years, the angels, good and virtuous beings will take the challenge of Hard-Strike Ball with demons, putting up in the match to see which of the two races win."
Flipping more pages, revealing an angel shook a demon's hand in friendly exchanges and the other angels flew off back to their homeworld.
"Seeing each other with potential skills in the game despite of their differences amongst the two races and ensure they will work together to fight the forces of evil. The angels returned to the Angel Land until next 10 years."
And finally, flipping over the next final pages. Two of the pictures depicting the forces of evil was overwhelmed by the angels and demons alike and another figure stood in the tall building.
"Whether there is evil sought for supremacy, both of the forces prevented them at ease. And there is one man who helped the angels and demons, the Supreme Counsellor of Heaven and Hell…"
A voice is heard. "Can you read it again?"
Another person chuckled, closing the book.
(Treehouse)
"Well, like that's ever gonna happen. Sorry, kid. The deal is done, now I got to get back to work." The man named Morbius D. Ashford.
He has his pale skin, brownish-auburn eyes and black hair and has several small bangs over his forehead that look like demon fangs. He was dressed in his black suit with white shirt and red tie and smooth black Oxford shoes.
In his human outfit, he wears his black suit with white shirt and red tie and smooth black Oxford shoes.
Colton is eight-years old boy and he is Morbius' adoptive son. He has short, light dirty brown blonde hair with unkempt at the front with bangs covering his right eye, pale peach skin, and middle blue eyes. He dressed the small light tan blazer jacket, white sleeved shirt, short tan pants and pair of blue denim sneakers with white soles. He even hang his earphones on the collar of his shirt that reached 3.5 mm long and connected to his iPhone.
As Morbius climbs down from the ladder, Colton rushed to a small window of the treehouse and called out him while the former walked off to the residence/treatment center.
"Tomorrow, I've got to get back to school." Colton said.
"No worries!" Morbius waved back.
(Happy Therapy Treatment Center – Outside)
"Ooh, I could have stretched my back. That treehouse is too small." Morbius replied, grabbing the phone from his pocket and played a song from the music app.
Song – All Star
Somebody once told me
The world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb
With her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Morbius then looks at the building that resemble the mansion and sees it admirably which he calls home and sighing a bit before heading inside.
Well, the years start coming
And they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
(Happy Therapy Treatment Center – Office)
Morbius placed all the stacks of papers for the clients, taking one of the papers and filled out the form. As soon he finished, a human client who is a middle-aged man in his lanky clothes entered into his office. Morbius gestured towards the long, lounging chair to have a seat as the middle-aged man complies to his body language.
Morbius has asked the questions with him, from the start he says what a problem in his life is. After the middle-aged confessed that he lost his focus and losing his job, but matter worst is that his family abandoned him. Morbius convinced him to move on to start a new life without looking back, which made the client better and saying he will try his best.
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
(Happy Therapy Treatment Center – Kitchen)
Next, he went down to the kitchen to make a coffee and sees Tony Maverick who reads the newspaper. Once he's done brewing the coffee, Morbius pours its remaining to his mug and Tony gives a nod in return.
Tony Maverick is a psychotherapist in charge of LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and Morbius' supporting mentor. He wore a plain beige shirt with dark blue tie, light grey pants and brown shoes. He has a dark peach skin, greyish blue eyes and short brown hair.
(Happy Therapy Treatment Center – Colton's Bedroom)
Morbius entered in Colton's bedroom, noticing the boy playing the action figures of Thor and Hulk, making the former formed his amused smile. He joins playing with Colton, holding Loki's action figure while Colton held the toy of Rocket Raccoon. Colton moves Rocket's arm and aims at Loki as Morbius imitated the toy's defeat and laid it down on the floor.
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
(Happy Therapy Treatment Center – Terrace Garden)
Morbius is doing one of his daily chores, pulling out the several weeds with his hands wearing the garden gloves. He went on planting the new flowerpots on the garden bed near the pavilion.
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
Morbius is spending his time painting a draft and glanced at Tony who dressed as a pirate captain from early 1500s.
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about yours?
That's the way I like it and I never get bored
(Happy Therapy Treatment Center – Hallway)
Morbius puts the painting of pirate captain Tony on the wall in the hallway and looking to his right to see all the paintings were attached on the wall, including himself, Tony, and Colton some of them dressed as goths, Vikings, navy officers, hippies from 1960s, and summer outfits.
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
(New Jersey – Street of Alpine)
In the shadows of the alley, the portal opened up and revealing the imps and hellhounds coming out of it. They gathered up in circle before the leader who is a Loan Shark demon drawn the strategic plan on the ground consisting of the face of the Supreme Counsellor in the mansion. They are then armed with weapons including knives, guns and clubs.
(Happy Therapy Treatment Center – Kitchen)
Morbius, Colton and Tony were all eating the mushroom risotto, satisfied with delectable taste of the Italian food. Soon after they finished the meals, Morbius used his holy magic to levitate the dishes over to the sink and washed them with a soap and sponge without using his hands.
(New Jersey – Street of Alpine)
The sunset soon begins to fall, the sky is getting darker.
"Alright, boys. Time to crash into that filthy human's home!" A loan shark demon named Jaws told them, making all the imp and hellhound underlings grunted in agreement.
He lead them a way into the property of Happy Therapy Treatment Center on the other side.
(Happy Therapy Treatment Center – Living Room)
Morbius has turned on the TV channel to watch the game show called Deal or No Deal while Colton grabbed the grapes from the fruit bowl that was setting on the coffee table in front of him and ate one of the grapes.
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
(Happy Therapy Treatment Center – Outside)
Jaws and his demon gangsters hurried around the mansion as the hidden camera from the lawn spotted them and sounded the alarm. Quick thinking, one of the demon thugs smashed it with his fist.
(Happy Therapy Treatment Center – Living Room)
Morbius and Colton soon heard the ruckus coming from outside, he then conjured the projection spell to see what's going on out there and saw Jaws and his fellows coming near to the front.
"Great? Another couple of gangs again." Morbius rolled his eyes before motioned to Colton to stay put and heading off to his office.
(Happy Therapy Treatment Center – Office)
Morbius snapped his fingers, replaced with another set of clothes consisting of his Victorian fantasy style long leather burgundy trench coat over his black waistcoat with gold buttons and white shirt, dark maroon pants and leather boots with ruffed wools. He soon donned a white mask with carved slits resembling the visors and dark grey markings covered the mask's facial.
(Song End)
(Happy Therapy Treatment Center – Front Hall)
Jaws and his group soon opened the doors, slowly entering the front hall.
"Everything looks quiet. Be on your guard." An imp underling murmured.
"Alright. Let's split up and find that human sorcerer." Jaws ordered.
"No, boss! Hold on! Did you ever think he outsmarted us like the last time." Another imp underling argued.
"Don't worry. My plan is solid, foolproof." Jaws assured.
"What if he suddenly knows we are here? Do you know what that thing can do to you?" A lanky hellhound asked.
"I'm right with this one. The Supreme Counsellor is setting a trap on us." A third and short imp said.
"And he will beat us into a pulp than the seconds." Another hellhound added.
Supreme Counsellor chuckles, revealing himself to be standing behind the Hellish Demon thugs.
"Yes, well, actually, that would be sadly mistaken." Supreme Counsellor grinned underneath his mask.
All of the gangsters gasped with mortified looks, backing away from him.
"You expect us to break in your home and now you caught us without anyone noticing?!" Jaws exclaimed.
Supreme Counsellor furrowed his expression, slowly approaching as the demons back away in fear.
"Now, you tried to break into my property. I've done this for few months. I am far more capable of dealing with these evil and ghoulish devils. I have the power to extinguish the sinful desires with the light that is in my grasp." Supreme Counsellor spoke before pointing out. "Actually, I don't want any violence especially with bloods and…"
The little imp waves his knife in Supreme Counsellor's face, making him annoyed.
"Back, you damned buffoon! Keep away! Back! Take one more step and I'll use it!"
All demon gangs grinned viciously towards him. Supreme Counsellor casually grabbed the knife from an imp and crushed it into bits, causing Jaws, imps and hellhounds gasped.
"Right." A little imp grinned nervously.
"Wanna what happened next?" Supreme Counsellor asked.
The blue beast appeared in front of the demon gang and terrified them with a frightening roar, causing them to scream in utter horror and dropping their weapons in the process.
"Feeling scared already?" Tony asked, crossed his arms as he and Supreme Counsellor waited for the demons to stop screaming.
Supreme Counsellor leaned closer to them with a whisper. "This is a best part where you guys run away and never come back."
"And if you won't, we come after you for your demonic flesh!" Tony growled.
Jaws and his group nodded quietly before scrambled out of the mansion and run away as fast as they can.
Tony laughed at them as he soon reverted into his human form.
"Look at them go, Morbius. My Devil Fruit isn't an only thing they didn't know I possess."
"Sure do. That is your first time to frighten these goons away." Supreme Counsellor removed his mask. "And stay out of my property!"
Colton soon came over to them.
"All the time, right?" Colton asked.
"Yeah. This time, they won't bother me anymore." Morbius smiled briefly as he looked down to see a poster and picked it up.
He reads the poster. "Abercombie Bros Cirque De Eccentrical. Comes to New Jersey by tomorrow in 3:15pm."
"The circus, huh?" Tony asked. "Interesting event arrives in New Jersey."
"Oh, cool! Can I come to the circus?" Colton asked.
"Need I remind you, sir? You have another client for the appointment tomorrow." Tony told him.
"Tell him to delay it. I'm taking Colton after school to the circus. Every parents takes children for enjoying in the circus." Morbius responded.
Tony nodded in affirmation, walking upstairs.
Morbius then examined the poster of the circus, spotted one of the circus performers was distinctly an imp. He is wearing black pants and a short sleeve shirt, and black shoes for his feet. He also wore his black sleeveless gloves on his hands and red skull choker around his neck.
"What's the matter?" Colton asked.
"Oh, nothing. I was looking one of the curious performers." Morbius folded the poster in half and walked upstairs. "Brush your teeth and go to sleep."
"Okay." Colton obliged.
(Pentagram Island – Imp City)
In the Pentagram Island, much larger than the continent and home to the Hellish Demons. One of the cities, Imp City, is a homeless and inhospitable place with the lowest imps and hellhounds in society.

As an incubus demon, Drew has maroon skin, horns with maroon lower parts and black upper parts. The devil-like tail he possesses has a black tip, as do the black wings on his back. The iris of his eyes were red, and the sclera of his eyes were yellow. Wearing a black t-shirt, black pants, black shoes, and black sleeveless gloves, he looks casual and well-dressed.
Berry is Drew's sister and a succubus demon. She has strawberry red skin, yellow scleras, and pale pink irises on her eyes. Both she and her brother Drew have black wings with red patterns and horns.

"Sir. There at least 20 criminal activities occurred somewhere in the Lust District, must be something to do with Succubi Park." Specs informed.
"I see. The owner of the studio have over 60 employees including succubi, imps, and incubi. Do you have any chance of finding the evidence?" Sarge asked.
"Of course, Sarge. I am doing my best to research that's all I have to." Specs responded.
"Take your time. We mustn't be so hasty otherwise our operation will be in jeopardy." Sarge affirmed.
"Me and my brother used to work with that nasty creep three years ago. You know what likes when someone never tried to escape due to the contract binded." Berry replied.
"As I'm aware, Vincenzo has a big ego. He has many associates to conceal every involvement, so we can't afford to reveal ourselves in front of him." Sarge said. "Still, we hate that guy." Drew sighed.
"Whatever you're doing, you need to stop. Do not allow him to get you. We must not make things worse." Razor told him.
"He's right. The demons are compelled to do what the owner orders, and there is no other way. Neither the solution nor the deal contract can be destroyed." Gear said.
"Well, we gotta need some time to figure it out." Crackle murmured.
"Indeed. Take your time whenever each of you must accomplish the objectives." Sarge firmed.
Another individual comes into the meeting room, revealing herself as the succubus.

"Ivy." Sarge walked over to his wife, kissing her bit. "What brings you here?"
"Morbius got called. He wants us to come to the circus." Ivy responded.
"The circus?" Drew wondered before scoffed. "Why do we have to go there?"
"He found someone unusual, claiming there is an imp running into the human circus." Ivy answered.
"What?" Gear asked. "An imp lives in a human circus."
"Thank you for informing me, sweetheart." Sarge replied, held on to his wife's hand softly. "I really thought if we had to bring our kid to the circus."
"Me too." Ivy giggled.
"Alright." Sarge turned to his team. "Drew, Berry, Razor. You three are with me. While the rest of you continued on the surveillance on Vincenzo's activities. The investigation on an unusual imp starts now."
(New Jersey – Liberty State Park)
The biggest circus tent held on the Liberty State Park as all boys, girls, women, and men went through into the big main event. Everyone from the circus, from performers to other staff are establishing everything up. They have their carts with platform attached, and decorated with balloons, streamers, and props for their acts. The animals wear accessories like ribbons and feathers, along with decorated collars bells.
Morbius and Colton were on amongst the crowd, waiting in the line.
"I can't wait to see what kind of the performance do in the circus." Colton said.
"Of course, you do. There used to be the clowns, jugglers, acrobats, knife throwers and other acts." Morbius uttered.
"Morbius." A voice called to him.
Sarge still retained his same outfit, but suitable as a human, and his eyes' color is the same as well. He has dark brown hair with slightly white highlights and has it up to shoulder length and has a light tan skin. He used to be taller.
Drew and Berry did their same human disguises, but the man has light tan skin while the woman donned her pale skin.
Razor did the same way. His eyes match his cat's eyes, but more human. He also has a little messy orange hair that matches his fur, and light-colored skin. He is still wearing his clothes adjusted to his human appearance, but there is also a silhouette of an orange cat patch on the left side of his jumpsuit.
"Ah, Sarge, guys. You're all here." Morbius turned around to see them.
"We have your message. You did tell us about the imp lurks within the circus." Sarge uttered.
"An imp?" Colton asked.
Berry took a notice on the circus stand displaying the poster, seeing the printed imp is at the bottom of the right corner.
"You're right. An imp belongs to the circus. Care to elaborate?" She said.
"I was doing a little research on that demon imp last night; it intrigues me that he joined the circus. The internet says nothing about his details, but the people believed it was just a cosplay or circus freak." Morbius explained.
"Really? No Hellish Demons weren't allowed to live with humans. And we are not sure what he's up to." Razor said.
"That is why I have to find out." Morbius said.
"What's wrong with an 'I' on the team? Preferring yourself to work alone?" Drew asked.
"That was countless time you called us and you're doing it yourself?" Sarge baffled.
"Don't get me wrong. This is my job. Just stay in the perimeter and do the thing for me." Morbius said. "And I'm taking this boy to the tent."
They both moved along the line near the entrance. Sarge grunted, crossing his arms.
"He's always like this. What kind of that show-off doing this on his own?"
"Don't bother. He's got this." Drew murmured.
"Pity." Razor scoffed.
(Tent – Dressing Room)
The figure walks towards the mirror before grabbing the red skull choker that laid on the dressing table and putting on his black fingerless gloves. He looked at his reflection, turning out it was an imp with the large white blotch around his right eye.
The male imp is quite tall for his species and sports a harlequin-like aesthetic. He has red skin with white burn marks of various sizes that cover parts of his forearms, chest, and his tail, as well as most of the right side of his face. His irises are red, and he has a heart-shaped skull symbol on the center of his forehead.
He has fairly broad forearms and hands, and a long narrow head, out of which extends large, curved, black and white striped horns. He has black spines on his head and upper back, as well as on his tail. His tail ends with a triangular point that has a black spot at the tip.
He is wearing black pants and a short sleeve shirt, and black shoes for his feet.
"There we go." An imp said to himself, sighing.
One of the staff called out to him. "Blitz! The show's getting started!"
"Coming!" Blitz responded, heading out of the tent.
(Outside)
The imp Blitz is seen walking out from the tent, before spotting another human employee named Andy. He has light tan skin, brown hair, and brown eyes. He is wearing red and white colored leotards, and black shoes for acrobatics.
"You were supposed to be ready, Blitz." Andy chuckled.
"I am now, Andy. I see you're all set." Blitz said.
"Sure am. Are you ready?" Andy asked.
"Born ready." Blitz answered with a smile.
"Glad to hear." Andy told him.
"Alright, everyone, time to get a move on. It's almost time for our first performance for the afternoon."
Everyone hears the man's voice and turning to him, revealing to be the magician and his name is Tim. He has fair skin, a little longer dirty blonde hair tied in a short ponytail, and blue eyes, and wearing his magician outfit with red bowtie.
"If we're all ready, it's time to get to our positions. Those who are riding the animals and performing on the rolling platforms at the trucks make sure to get your acts set." Tim explained.
All the employees agrees and make sure to have everything ready, then begins to go to the big circus tent around the back to get ready for upcoming show.
"So how are you both doing?" Tim asked, turning to Blitz and Andy.
"Yeah. Can't wait to perform another show." Blitz answered.
"Good to hear." Tim affirmed.
Suddenly, they hear a feline meowing nearby. The group turns to see a small Calico cat. It's a small tricolor kitten, almost a year old. It has a white base accompanied by black and brown spots, and large amber colored eyes. The little kitten has a red collar with a small yellow bell attached, along with a heart shaped name tag.
"Oh, hi Mimmy." Blitz replied.
The little kitten, Mimmy, meows to her owner. "Meow." She then nuzzles her side against Blitz's leg.
Andy chuckled. "I think your little kitty wants you."
Blitz picks up Mimmy and placed her on the crate. He began to scratch under her chin, causing her to purr.
"She's probably hungry at the time." Blitz said.
"Well, it's best you give her something to eat before the parade start. Once you're done, we'll get going. Dad, Mom, and Candy are waiting." Tim said.
"You guys go ahead. I'll be there after feeding Mimmy." Blitz said.
"Meow!" Mimmy responded happily.
"Alright. I'll see you later." Blitz said, taking Mimmy and walked back to his tent.
(Morbius' Eyecatcher)
The doors opened widely, revealing Morbius in his office and greeted POV before the camera shifts to his room with his Supreme Counsellor's outfit laid on his bed before instantly vanished with a holy light magic.
(Hexagram Force's Eyecatcher)
In the meeting room, Sarge stood in front of the table along with his members taking the seats as they stared at POV and Sarge gestured it to be quiet before the camera shifts to his office with his demon katana blade laid next to his desk.
(Circus Tent)
Morbius and Colton were in the second row of the seat, seeing all the people are already lighting up for the circus. Everyone is already in their seats, waiting for the show as they see three smaller rings, around the center ring.
"I can't wait to see the circus. This is so much fun than at school." Colton said.
"I guess what people must really like this circus, that's why they call it eccentrical." Morbius replied.
The lights turned off in the circus tent.
"I think it's starting." Colton murmured.
Morbius could hear the crowd murmur to each other as the three lights turned on to the spotlight to shine on Matt.
Matt is the ringmaster of the Abercombie Bros Cirque De Eccentrical, Tim, Andy, and Candy's father and also Blitz's adoptive uncle. The middle-aged man with a straight dark brown hair, hazel eyes and same skin color as his brother Charles. He is wearing a similar ringmaster outfit, but the colors of his clothing are blue, black and white.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls of all ages! Welcome to the exciting, incredible, unique, freaky Cirque de Eccentrical, where us not quite so normal beings show you all of our performances and we're proud of that and our appearance. I'm Matt, ringmaster. A pleasure to meet you, quite a pleasure to all of you!"
Then announces. "Today, you'll all see the amazing acts that will stun and amaze you! And leave you breathless. Bring cheers to tonight's act!"
Soon, the performers run on the stage while the two others are on the trapeze bar.
"And now, to start off with our magnificent show, we will have The Great Tim, who will show you magical feats. So, let's begin." Matt spoke.
Tim walked up to the stage before bowing his head slightly to the audience, he then took off his top hat, waved his hand over it before fluttering his fingers, and made fireworks flied out, surprising and astonishing everyone in the tent.
Swinging on the trapeze bar are Andy and Candy and are both wearing their trapeze outfits. Candy has the same appearance as her brother, but she is a girl. She wears a candy apple trapeze swimsuit with light red frills around the waist and on the straps. She is also wearing tights, matching her skin color, and cotton pink slippers.
The twin performers continue to swim on the trapeze bars. Andy soon starts to hang upside down with his legs holding on to the bar. Candy then swings out and lets go of the bar. She performs a few loops before he takes Andy's hand.
All the audience clapped in amazement while the vendors called out to the people with snacks.
"Popcorn! Butter popcorn! Come and get some!"
"Cotton candies, everyone!"
"Anyone, thirsty?"
Morbius has already paid to buy some snacks for Colton who is munching the popcorn.
Matt announced. "Juma!"
The big muscular black man with buzz-cut black hair appeared. He is wearing a black tank top with blue pants and wearing the sneakers. He is lifting a wooden platform that has a few tons of bricks on it.
"The man who has the brawn with the buns of steel amongst the strongmen." Matt spoke to the audience.
Juma roared triumphantly as he held the platform over his head.
"Congrats to Juma!" Matt announced.
Next, the furry haired man shown up in the stage. All of his hairy fur covered his face, upper feet, hands and has a brushed down brown hair that matches the fur's color and has green eyes. He is wearing a beige color long sleeve shirt, dark red pants, and a burgundy cloak.
He howled loudly and his dogs howl like they're singing.
"And our spectacular dog man, and his canine comrade, Claude!" Matt announced.
Everyone spread more cheers and some of the children are excited to see some friendly dogs.
And now the next act, a young man with light brown hair, wears glasses, and wears a white shirt, black pants, and red and white sneakers is riding on a unicycle and riding on top of the elephant.
"And next is our unicyclist, Biff, who can ride over ten elephants in a row!" Matt announced.
Then the last elephant raised its trunk as Biff rode it to the top.
"Fabulous act, Biff!" Matt praised.
Everyone begins to clap and cheer with excitement.
"The circus looks really great. I've never seen a hairy guy before." Colton said, taking a bite of the cotton candy.
"All these performers are wonderful. I was never been here in the circus before." Morbius responded.
"And now, for last and not least! If you all can look up above…"
Everyone looked up to see some light above to see Blitz walking on the tight rope as he jangles knives in his hands. Most of the audience were astonished and amazed, and a little surprised by his appearance as they whispered amongst themselves.
"What is he? Another circus freak?"
"Who knows! That little guy is put up quite a talent!"
Morbius looked upon the inspection at the imp. "I'm right. There is a certain imp works in the circus."
"No way! How did he end up in the circus? He's just playing his acts." Colton said.
Drew, Berry, Razor and Sarge poked their heads inside the tent from the outside, glancing at the imp on the tight rope.
"What the…" Drew grew stunned.
"Is that…?" Berry shocked.
"That can't be… Everyone in the Pentagram Island thought he was gone." Razor said.
Sarge formed his curious expression. "Interesting. I knew I saw his face before. A long time ago."
"One of our bright red stars of our troops. Expert with sharp knives, and balancers on the tightrope. Blitz!" Matt continued.
Suddenly, Blitz stops juggling and ties the handles of the knives around his tail. With his knives, Blitz pulled back his tail. After that, he slowly performed a split with his legs on the tightrope. In order to grab hold of the rope, he leaned back. Afterwards, he lifts himself into an upside-down position. Everyone is shocked to see this. In the next move, he performed a split with his opposite legs. His next step is to stand up again. Everyone applauds and becomes enthused.
"Not bad." Morbius commented. "For the imp."
"So what now, sir?" Berry asked.
"What are we going to do?" Drew asked.
"We just get some answers from the imp after the show's finished." Razor answered.
"We saw an actual imp with that circus. Judging by the circus performers and the ringmaster. It seems that they're either way that he's an imp or that this one is wearing a costume. And this imp seems to be well experienced at the circus." Sarge murmured.
As the people took off from the seat, Morbius is still looking up at Blitz.
"I wonder why that Blitz is here." Morbius said.
It was as if something triggered his senses; he looked down to see the shadows moving from the seat ring.
"Oh no… The Umbras." Morbius murmured.
In the distance, several shadow creatures trailed up to Blitz as one sliced the rope, causing it to fall off, and Blitz grabbed it, taking a swing into the air. All the people gasped at what happened, even the ringmaster and other performers saw him.
"Oh my gracious!" Matt uttered in shock.
"Who cuts the tightrope?" Juma asked.
"Hang on, Blitz!" Andy called out.
"Who did that?!" Colton asked.
Just as Blitz loosed his grip on the rope, he falls to the ground screaming.
"Oh no! He's falling to the ground!" Candy worried.
Morbius moved across the ground and caught the imp performer on time.
"You're okay?" Morbius asked.
"Thanks." Blitz said. "I never seen like you caught me in your arms, even for the human."
"Something like that." Morbius said.
The shadow beings emerged from the spots in the tent, revealing themselves as the Umbras.
Umbras are ancient and shadow creatures, hunting on the prey and stealing their souls, succumbing the victims to stones. They have pitch black bodies with spiked heads, white eyes with pentagram pupils and stitched marks on their mouths, and worn in thick, tattered dark green cloaks.
"What are those things?!" Tim asked.
"Where did they come from? This isn't a part of the show!" Matt said.
Morbius rushed over to the ringmaster and performers, giving Blitz back to them.
"It's best for you guys to go and hide in the safe place." Morbius said.
"Thank you, sir!" Matt said.
"Colton! Go with them!" Morbius said.
Colton complied with his words, so he goes with Matt and others and hastily leave the circus tent.
With every people gone from the circus, Morbius conjured the magical aura around himself and turned himself into the Supreme Counsellor of Heaven and Hell.
Sarge, Drew, Berry, and Razor joined his side swiftly.
"Didn't I tell you to stay out of this?" Supreme Counsellor asked.
"Argue about the teamwork later. Do this for temporarily." Sarge encouraged.
"That suits for me." Supreme Counsellor sighed.
"The Umbras were summoned? How?" Razor asked.
"I thought Lucifer sealed them a long time ago." Berry said.
The Supreme Counsellor clenched his fists as the light glowed within them. Umbras are charging towards him.
"Holy Light Pistol!" Morbius smashed his holy-magic encased fists upon the two Umbras, obliterating them into bits.
Sarge pulled out his signature sword, the Blessed Tachi Sword that engraved by the Angelic Steel and carved from the dragon's scales. He swung his sword against the three Umbras upwardly and stabbed another Umbra right before exploded in the black sludge.
Drew and Berry tossed the small knives at three to six Umbras, instantly vaporized them into same result as the goo. Another Umbra fires the unholy blast from its mouth, hurled towards Berry who quickly backflipped to dodge the attack as Drew jumped over her and landed a kick on the target.
"I've got your back, sis." Drew smirked.
"Works for me, Drew." Berry added.
Razor is being tackled down on the ground by one of the Umbras, getting hold of himself from being hurt and punched the shadow being a few times. He then headbutted against him, sheathed his claw and slashed it.
"And now for Holy Light X Arc!" Morbius pulled up one of his signature moves, developed the x-shape cross with Holy Light sorcery and zoomed through the Umbras in a straight line.
"That takes care of them." Morbius panted a bit.
He then sensed the eerie and devious presence that stirred in the air. In front of the group, a shadowy figure appeared in a black mist with red sparks.
"Who is that?" Razor asked.
"Baron Killius." Morbius stated. "The man responsible for the Christian Lords' downfall."
Baron Killius works with the Christian Lords until he betrayed them to the very end he brings the wicked forces upon the lands. He wore his magenta Victorian buttoned-up vest with a straight collar over a long-sleeved dark purple shirt with matching trousers embedded by chains and grey leather shoes. He had a red and purple coat with black cuffs draped over his shoulders like a cape. He has black dreadlocks in a ponytail, tanned skin, shaved bearded on his chin and deep crimson eyes.
"It's been a long time, my friend." Baron Killius said.
"Never thought I would hear from you." Morbius muttered.
"What are you doing here? Are you the one who summoned the Umbras?" Sarge demanded. "The very same dark creatures were serving Kordamu?"
"That's right. It is I, who set them free, and their loyalties belonged to me." Baron Killius answered.
"Like trying to attack the innocent lives?" Drew questioned. "You've got a lot of nerve of coming here to us."
"The evil is usually my thing. Right now, I have a master to serve." Baron Killius replied.
"Who is it?" Morbius asked.
Killius refused to give an answer, so he swiftly waved his left arm, creating the dark purple ether energy and blown them far back out of the circus.
(Liberty Park)
Morbius, Sarge, Drew, Berry, and Razor stumbled over the ground as Baron Killius emerged out of the tent.
"Since you're in my way, I won't tolerate of your foolish heroism for the intervention." Baron Killius said with a smug look.
He held his hand towards the heroes, forming the sphere of ether energy.
All of sudden, the green demonic blast hits his arm, briefly stunning the evil warlock.
Baron Killius grunted in exasperation. "Another inferior?"
The three figures jumped over the group, stood on the ground behind them. Turns out they are the humans but with familiar appearances.
"Zill? Kayla? Jack?" Drew asked.
With Zill in his human form, he has tanned skin, purple eyes, and purple hair with short, layered bangs and yellow streaks. He is wearing his purple zipped-up jacket, blue jeans, and black sport shoes.
Kayla in her human form comprised of light peach skin, short light brown hair and blue eyes. She worn in an outfit consisted of a light grey sweater, a short, tanned pants, dark yellow leggings, and light beige slip-on shoes with white soles.
And lastly, Jack looks a resemblance to the humans with pale ivory skin, dark brown eyes, and black spiked haircut. He is dressing in a brown T-shirt, baggy green pants, and short sneakers.
"You really need some help, huh?" Zill crossed his arms with a confident smirk.
"I don't need your help. I got this!" Supreme Counsellor retorted.
"Don't argue, guys!" Kayla told them.
"Save your petty bickering. Any of you who get in the way of foiling my master's scheme will be dead the moment your lives are shortened." Baron Killius warned.
"What's the meaning of his plot?" Berry wondered.
"I don't tell you much about it. I'm probably wasting time here, so the fight has been suspended."
When he finished, Baron Killius vanished into the same result as when he appeared in front of the group.
"Got away again." Morbius muttered.
"Well, at least we are aware of him." Razor grunted.
"The Law Enforcement Demons alerted us about Killius' appearance in the human public. We need to find out about his ulterior motives." Jack uttered.
"That is come to our attentions, a new objective will add to our list." Sarge said.
"He did come back, right?" Kayla asked.
"We all saw him. Now we gotta be careful with that guy." Zill murmured.
Just then, Colton ran over to Morbius and hugged him in a leg as Blitz, Matt, Lily, Tim, Andy, and Candy walked over to them.
"You're okay?" Morbius asked.
"I'm good. These guys are safe now." Colton responded.
"I wouldn't thought I wasn't going to say thank you for saving me." Blitz told him.
"Yeah. The way you showed up feels like a part of the show. You guys often handling those nasty midgets. Seeing that coming really made me feel good." Candy said.
"Thank you for saving us, Supreme Counsellor." Matt said with a smile. "How can we ever repay you?"
"Eh, it's no big deal. Sorry about your circus." Morbius gestured towards the circus tent that is almost looked wrecked.
"Don't worry about it. We repair it as soon as we leave for tomorrow." Tim said.
"You've still got time to spend?" Morbius asked.
Lilly is Matt's wife and mother of Tim, Andy, and Candy. She has lovely light blonde hair, fair skin, and blue eyes, wearing a nice light teal dress and cream-colored flats.
"We got time until tomorrow. Why?" Lilly asked.
"I would like to speak to this imp fellow." Morbius said. "You guys should know he is a demon."
"Of course. We just learned a little much of Blitz. Everyone thinks he is a circus freak like my employees." Matt said.
"I really kind of wanting to know the answers. I may be a demon raised by the human family." Blitz said.
"Blitz isn't only one. We are." Drew said.
"Can we allow to let humans sees our disguises?" Berry questioned, feeling unsure.
"The rules have applied to us; we can't break one of them. But if the humans definitely raised the imp, I decided to keep a secret from the public." Sarge uttered.
He and his co-colleagues reverted themselves to their Hellish Demon forms. It soon made Matt and his family grew shocked.
"Well…" Blitz briefly shocked at this before letting out a nervous laugh. "That did explain a lot."
Tim passed out from shock as Matt and his circus family remained silent in almost awkward silence.
"This is getting embarrassing." Colton whispered to Morbius who calmly nodded to his response.
"This could take time to tell everything." Jack sighed, facepalming himself.
Trivia:
1) This intro similar to Shrek movie with opening song called 'You're an All-Star'.
2) I shared the inspirations from Pinkie Pie Sweets' Human-Hearted Imp.
3) I also added the familiar characters from my Wattpad story, Life's Change of Heart including Morbius, Baron Killius, etc.
4) Colton's iteration is almost looked like the character Makoto Yuki from Persona 3.
