The next day, eight o'clock in the morning, Victoria Hotel, on the third floor in the room for guests and clients, there were the last sounds of loud snoring and a certain dream made the scarlet pixie tremble, Blitzo opened his yellow eyes in shock, jumped up from the bed covered with colorful sheets and looked around at the remaining three beds, two wardrobes and a table with a couple of empty glasses and two carrot juice containers, the room was filled with another loud snoring coming from two neighboring beds placed close to each other and two red dug-outs, also dressed in black, in a jacket with white accessories and a black jacket.
Yes, Moxxie and Millie opened their mouths wide and made a strange and a bit scary sound of loud snoring, but that wasn't what scared Blitzo again as his horns trembled slightly, Blitzo saw another bed which was currently empty, only the unraveled sheets and nothing else, Blitzo after he jumped out of bed in alarm, started running around the room, afraid that someone might have attacked them at night, but after a while, when the little imp searched everything in the bedding, including Millie, he was first knocked out by the furious imp, and after all, Blitzo, with a visible bruise under his right eye, looked at the angry black-haired imp with an ax in her hand.
- what was that supposed to be, you're getting at me, aren't you!. Millie shouted, as always, showing her explosive temper.
- no, it's not that, I don't know where my daughter is, Loona, you haven't seen her today. Blitzo asked, holding his right eye.
- no, I didn't see or hear it because I was sleeping, man, I don't even know what I dreamed. Moxxie said, scratching his head and white hair.
- if you don't know what you dreamed. Millie asked, looking at her husband with big yellow eyes.
- well, I was sleeping, when I sleep I don't know what I dream. Moxxie said with a shrug.
- what are you talking about, you didn't know Loona somewhere. Blitzo asked panicked.
- maybe she went to talk to John Wick, you know, she likes him very much. Moxxie said jokingly, but the current joke didn't reach the heart or mind at all.
- that how!, my daughter and this killer, man!, I will show him. Said Blitzo trampling to the door.
Blitzo was angry, he was furious, he immediately ran to the door wanting to confront the killer as quickly as possible, but he saw for himself and knew what he was capable of, chosen, elevated, endowed with great powers, yet Blitzo, like a jealous father, ran into the door which was suddenly and violently opened and Blitzo hit in the other eye, he landed in the middle of the room between the tables and the now four empty beds, and the blue and white cherub Cletus in an orange jumpsuit entered the room first, and his purple eyes twitched when he saw the knocked out imp trembling in the middle of the room, with his yellow friend emerging behind him. , Keenie's yellow sheep in a yellowish dress and blinking purple eyes, and her embarrassment focused on her friend flapping her wings.
- and I told you, knock first, have some privacy, be better than others in this respect, eh Cletus. She said Keenie as she flew over to the dizzy imp and helped him up with Millie and Moxxie.
- well, how was I supposed to know, now is not the time, we really don't have much time. Said Cletus, trying to defend himself as always, thinking he knew best.
- okay, you're right, I'm sorry. Blitzo said, and from behind the closed windows everyone could hear the sound of fans singing from the musicians practicing downstairs.
- what was that. Cletus asked, looking around.
- no matter what else is important today, listen, Octavia and Tom have just left us, they left the hotel half an hour ago, they are probably already at the airport, from what Octavia told me, they managed to buy a ticket, probably one of the last ones for today's flight, they bought it at six in the morning, that's what they told me. She said Keenie, explaining to everyone until a confused Blitzo opened his eyes wide and looked at everyone above him.
- so they have already left us, it's a bit of a pity, I even liked it when we fought the empty ghosts together, but on the other hand, it's better for them, lovers, to stay away from trouble, it will be better that way. She said Millie as she put her ax behind her back and once again enjoyed the company of their former enemies and now tangled allies in the present day.
- but I must say that I don't like one thing. Cletus said.
- Meaning. Millie asked, gritting her teeth, thinking that Cletus would have an opposing relationship between Octavia and Tom.
- and this is how Verosika and Vortex immediately ran out behind Tom and Octavia, I watched them, they followed them as if they were following them, in the shadow, hidden, I don't know what it is about, but I think they are planning something, if they want to separate them, they will be with me they were dealing with. Cletus said, and Millie, who was listening to him, breathed a sigh of relief because she already knew that there are those who want the happiness of two lovers, even though one of them is a human and his beloved is an owl demon.
- sure and not clear, it doesn't matter now, John, how I kick him there. Blitzo said as he stormed out of the room, leaving only the two surprised cherubs behind.
- but what happened?. Cletus asked.
- what this is about?. Keenie asked.
- don't you know, Loona probably went to visit our human friend and Blitzo is behaving a bit like Stolas, that's all. Moxxie said, pushing everyone out of the room, then he, his wife and two patching cherubs went through the hall and into the next room opposite where, as it turned out, there was one empty bed, a table and empty plates with a light gray wolf lady in a gray top and black pants with a moon, and socks, as it turned out, Loona was currently holding the letter left to everyone.
- Loona, what's going on here, where is he?. Blitzo asked, his horns almost touching each other in a gesture of irritation.
- he went, I wanted to meet him and talk to him, but he probably left the hotel before six in the morning and is currently on his way to Sicily. She said Loona, handing Blitzo a letter from the killer.
- what?, wait a minute, yes, show this letter, what do we have here "I know that many people may be angry with me today, but believe me, it will be better this way, I don't want to endanger any of you, so it will be better if I just disappear today , of course I know that no one will listen to me and you will certainly quickly follow in my footsteps, which I would prefer to avoid, because when I know that you are in danger I lose focus, but when I have a chance to fight for you, it's strange, but all my strength is greater, and yet I don't want you to risk it one day, it will be better, believe me, and I thank you all, because I don't know what to call it, but thanks to you, thanks to Tom Clark and Octavia, I know what I'm fighting for, and if I really have to, then it's hard, maybe I will succeed I will try to outdo you and solve all your problems before you come to Sicily, let's hope so and good luck. Blitzo finished reading, putting the letter on the table, and Moxxie, standing behind him, quickly started clicking on the Tablet, while Millie, Keenie, and Cletus looked at each other, understanding the killer's decision, but on the other hand, they were a little angry with each other.
- It's a pity that I'm such a heavy sleeper. Keenie said, angry at herself.
- does that mean it's over?. Millie asked and Cletus standing next to her suddenly made her jump in fear.
- NO!. Cletus shouted with new determination.
- I have no intention of giving up, yes, he is right, but you cannot leave your friends in poverty, you are with me. Cletus said and everyone, Loona, Blitzo, Millie and Moxxie with tablet in hand shook hands and a quick spark in their hands shook them all.
- is this really happening?. Blitzo asked in surprise, holding his hand.
- yes, this is happening, and you know, I quickly booked a flight from here to Sicily, a certain guy, a man named Jack, also called crazy Jack, runs a one-man miscellaneous transport company, currently he has half a ton of potatoes to transport, but we don't have much time, for Jack flies out of Saint Tropez airport in an hour, so we don't have much time. Moxxie said, holding the tablet in his hands, and Loona, hearing him, jumped up, throwing Blitzo on her back, catching Millie under her arm, and Moxxie running towards the exit.
- what are we waiting for, quickly, we don't have time. She said the rushing Loona, hiding her true form in a human form of illusion as well as the power of the cherubs making them transparent to human eyes as well as sharing her power to the three imps who also quickly became transparent.
Less than half an hour later, everyone gathered at a small private airport with four hangars, an airport usually used by private transport companies usually transporting heavy ore materials, just like today, two larger planes were taking to the sky and five of them, two of them hidden in a transparent form travelers, so everyone gathered in front of a silver monoplane with two propellers with a shark painted on its beak, Loona, accompanied by five colleagues currently changed by the power of illusion into the form of small people with height problems, were staring at something stranger than themselves, or rather someone, and it was a man in a green suit and a cap on his head, this man was rather strange from the very beginning, his brown eyes wandered from right to left at the four passengers, eating pickled cucumber alone and drinking buttermilk, and when he finished his wide smile greeted new customers with a visible lack of in the teeth.
- wow, I didn't think I'd see someone so terrifying, how can you eat pickled cucumbers and drink buttermilk, he'll have a spray coming out of his ass like from here to New York. She said Millie, hidden in the illusion of a little midget with black lips and hair.
- that's not what you're saying, after all, there will be a tragedy here in a moment, and unless this man is immune to it, but I doubt it. Keenie said in a similar manner to Millie.
- keep it down, this guy can hear us. Said the most focused Loona hidden in the illusion of a tall white woman.
- Mr. Jack. Yes, that is. Loona asked and Jack cleared his throat and adjusted his green jacket with a parachute behind his back.
- yes, it's me, so let me guess, you ordered a flight to Sicily, right, so I'm inviting you. Jack said frivolously and waving at everyone, walking with a confident but slightly unsteady step.
- Excuse me for asking if you've had anything to drink. Cletus asked, looking at the pilot with wide eyes.
- no matter what, I don't drink at work or after work, unless it's buttermilk. Jack said, drinking the last sips of buttermilk, eating the last cucumber stalk, and when he finished, he threw the empty box into the trash can, hitting it with surprising precision.
- if his step is unsteady, it's probably the buttermilk's fault, I'm afraid. Moxxie said, whispering into Cletus' ear.
- You said something, wait a minute, I would have forgotten, chaps, I mean, you have money. Jack asked.
- yes, please, this is your plot of land. Blitzo said, handing over money from himself and everyone else, and Jack first smelled the money, checked the three banknotes against the light, and then, licking his lips, jumped onto the plane, calling everyone.
- why are you standing there, you have paid to get in, but I must admit it's the first time in my life that I'm transporting midgets, but I have to start somewhere, and now get in because I don't have time. Jack said.
- Excuse me, how long will the flight take?. Loona asked as she followed Jack into the plane's deck, where, as it turned out, there were mainly sacks of potatoes and two rows of seats on both sides with safety belts.
- oh, interesting, it's even charming here. Millie said as she sat on the right side next to Moxxie.
- as for the flight, it will take a few hours, in the afternoon, we should be there around the afternoon, and now get on, don't talk, fasten your seat belts and be quiet here, don't complain about the flight, you can complain about anything, football, politics, prices, trade, but not for my style of driving a plane, here I am the king and whatever I say is sacred, we understand each other. Jack said, and after establishing simple rules, he closed the cockpit door and turned on the engines.
Right from the very beginning, right from the start, the flight was going to be rather traumatic for many, as the plane itself rattled, shuddered, and the engines crackled, everything began to shake, and Cletus, Keenie, Moxxie, and Blitzo looked at each other as they sat across from each other with great uncertainty that only became stronger from takeoff to flight.
- man, now I know why they call him crazy Jack, this guy is crazy, first he eats pickled cucumber and buttermilk and now he drives this old plane, where he pulled it from, I think, some scrapyard. Cletus said, removing the power of illusion from Keenie and everyone else.
- I'm surprised that someone like that has a pilot license, he's a crazy person. Moxxie said shaking his head and showing the gray hair on his red head again.
- be quiet, because he will still hear you, you heard what the rules are here, not a word about him and how he flies the plane, so be quiet. She told Keenie and Blitzo, now sitting next to her, focused his attention more on his daughter and Millie who began to pester her with her questions.
- tell me Loona, but you honestly like him a lot. Millie asked and Loona immediately widened her eyes and then growled, but everything was interrupted by strong turbulence and potatoes hitting everyone's feet.
- calm down, it happens. Jack said through the loudspeaker, and in his voice you could almost hear the true joy of the current moment and situation.
- what's up, what's going on, oh no, what a madman, he probably flew into some storm on purpose, look. Moxxie said terrified, looking back through the small window.
- it's like Loona, what do you have to say about it. Millie asked, and despite the turbulence, her curiosity continued to wander to only one thing, and Loona growled again and screamed at the top of her lungs.
- leave me alone, you know that I like him a lot, so stay away from me. Loona said and then she grabbed her muzzle because now everyone, including her father, the scarlet pixie Blitzo, was looking at her.
- You're crazy, I won't give it to him now. Blitzo said, clenching his fists tightly.
- come on, don't be like Stolas, he also wanted to separate his daughter and she goes her own way anyway, and if you plan something similar, I won't stand by indifferently. Millie said, taking the matter personally.
Blitzo just glanced at his employee, not seeing her as a threat, but his yellow-red eyes suddenly widened uncontrollably because he had in front of him the image of a man who was widely considered to be crazy, everyone just looked at the open cockpit door and the pilot in a green suit standing in the doorway. jacket and looking at everyone, at first he was full of anger.
- I think I said that I don't want any comments about my flying style. Jack said, not being too surprised by what he saw, but he saw the whole truth.
- you, you, you are not afraid of us. Moxxie asked in shock.
- and why, man, I saw such things, aliens, Men in Black with their neutralizer which doesn't work on me, I'm one of the few in the world, that's why I have a license on their behalf, now you, Hells and angels, it's a pity that Since then, I have been considered a madman, and you know, I won't tell anyone anything because no matter what, no one will believe me. Jack said until his brown eyes focused on the trembling yellow sheep in the yellow dress.
- what's up.
- bye, bye, bye, please, who's controlling the plane?. Keenie asked, feeling the plane go into an uncontrolled spin, and Jack laughed out loud and ran into the cockpit without closing the door behind him, and the potato bags began to rise slightly until they fell on the steel floor.
- Don't worry, I have everything under control, and don't be afraid, I can fly a plane. Jack said and all the passengers looked at each other, holding on tightly to the black belts and seats without saying a word.
The flight lasted another four hours, and this time no one said anything, everyone was silent and trembling slightly, until finally the plane landed on a small makeshift airport, only then did everyone take a deep breath and exhale, and before Cletus and Keenie made the first move, Jack was back again. appeared on deck, opening the door, lowering the gangplank and giving everyone specific advice.
- don't be afraid, the airport is empty for an hour, people will come to pick up my goods in an hour, so you don't have to hide so much, if you want to know, there is a car rental company near the airport, and no, you don't have to thank me for anything, much less ask why, I do it to make the day different than usual and I thank you for that because this day will never be the same for me. Said Jack with a big smile and then Jack went out in front of his monoplane plane, unfolded a deckchair and lay down in the shadow of his machine with a view of the distant mountain, the Etna volcano.
Everyone looked at each other in silence, thanked the captain of the plane, went out to an empty square where there were three hangars, a large field of tall corn and a car rental located next to it, near a prosperous settlement with views of the city of Catania and the volcano Etna, seeing the volcano, the secret prison of Loona, Blitzo, Cletus , Keenie, Moxxie and Millie trembled slightly because they had in front of them, so close or far away, the place where the traitor of both worlds, the exile, Murmur, had been sleeping for many years.
There were no more words, everyone ran to the rental shop, Loona, taking human form, entered a small one-story building where, apart from the rental shop, there was a gas station, while the rest of her companions gathered in hiding and waited in the tall corn where people usually disappeared without a trace and strange events were every day, just like crop circles forming, and this was currently the most popular topic.
- tell me, if the legends about space and other worlds are true, are the crop circles also the work of aliens, and was Jack really telling the truth about the abduction?. Moxxie asked, looking warily into the thick corn.
- actually, it's hard to say, but now what seemed to be heresy is probably true. Cletus said also keeping a watchful eye on everything behind him.
- but, no, I don't know what the aliens are supposed to be doing, as far as I'm concerned it's a fake, and if so, the aliens made some kind of artistic form made of grain or corn. Millie asked, shaking her head at everything, but her black hair suddenly stood on end and everyone jumped as a loud horn shocked them.
- what happened, what happened, what happened! Keenie shouted, flapping her wings like crazy until her purple eyes fell on the green Skoda driven by Loona.
- what's the matter, we don't have time, we have to leave as soon as possible and now, it's already afternoon, maybe even 5 p.m., we don't have time, quickly. Loona said, opening the front and back doors and rushing everyone.
- Um, this one, yes, yes, quickly. Blitzo said as he took the front seat next to Loona wanting to talk to her like father and daughter and the back seats were taken by Cletus, Keenie and Moxxie and Millie.
After all, Loona stepped on the gas pedal and took off from under the cornfield, driving the green Skoda along a long winding road to the volcano itself, visible on the horizon as well as the nearby city of Catania, this was the moment when Blitzo finally decided to talk honestly to his adopted daughter. and she, seeing some tension on her father's face, knew that she would not be able to escape his questions today, until everything was cut apart, just like the grain fields, by a large brown Monster Truck with tires covered with steel plates falling from the right.
Behind the brown Monster Truck came another thirty Quads and forty Motocross cars and each of them was driven by black and white faceless ghouls in black suits. With human weapons, shotguns and black guns of their own power, everything around the green Skoda began to dance at a frenetic pace and the leading Skoda, Loona turned the steering wheel so that the car made a quick turn, avoiding the large monster on wheels passing on the other side, and the imps and cherubs sitting in the back seat jumped out of the seat belts and were facing each other so that Keenie landed on Moxx and Millie on Cletus, which of course caused a quick reaction. each.
- what are you doing to my husband, you've already pissed him off. Millie said furiously, still sitting on top of Cletus.
- and what are you doing, you're sitting on Cletus, maybe you'll be so kind and get off him before someone accuses you of who knows what. She said Keenie maliciously, getting off Moxxie herself first and grabbing the materialized golden crossbow.
Millie immediately obeyed the cherub's command, dismounted from Cletus, sat behind him next to her husband, and then took out a pair of guns from the bag below and handed them to Moxxie and herself, now looking out the window at the motorcyclists riding towards them, the crazy, emotionless gang getting closer with every moment. .
Speeding vehicles, Motocross, Quad and one large Moonster Truck with the loud roar of engines were rushing after their main target, the green Skoda, and Blitzo, who was observing the turn of events, pulled out a hand-held automatic machine from under his jacket, opened the window and started shooting, trying to stop the drivers, but after the first round his efforts They turned out to be completely ineffective because the bullets only passed through the black and white faces and did not do any harm to them.
- it won't help, we have to join our forces, hold hands. She said Loona knowing what could help, a combination of strength and power, and the two imps and cherubs looked at each other in disgust, but when a burst of pistols and shotguns shattered the rear and side windows and everyone bowed their heads in praise, after all Cletus, Keenie, Millie and Moxxie looked around interrupted in a moment's silence by jealous Millie.
- good, but you, Keenie, give me your hand, and stay away from my boyfriend, we understand each other. She said Millie, biting her lip.
- don't be afraid, I don't have the heart to take him away from you, besides, he's not my type, even if he was the only guy in the world. She said Keenie, shaking Millie's hand and shooting with her at the approaching motorcyclists. Their combined gun and crossbow shot caused an immediate reaction, the motorcyclists hit in the head immediately lost full control over the vehicles, even falling apart after an accurate shot.
- so be it, Moxxie, quickly to the left!. Cletus shouted, giving his hand to the disliked imp, and then he and Blitzo started shooting at the Quad chasing them with two pistols, but this target was more durable, because the Quad and the riding ghosts were surrounded by thick steel and bulletproof glass, which gave them significant resistance even to combined fire. from two pistols, because although this power was able to shock ghosts, it was rather ineffective against steel. And there was a lot of this.
- bang on the tires!. Moxxie shouted and together with Cletus they started shooting at the Quad's tires which immediately shot, causing the Quad to overturn, but both of them widened their eyes and watched as black and white shadows easily emerged from under the Quad and ran like soulless forms eager for one thing only, to destroy everything.
The tireless attack, run, sprint of the black and white ghosts was noticed by everyone, their tireless motivation, their emptiness, lack of will and emotions terrified practically everyone, because the army of ghosts was perfect, they did not ask questions, feel no fear, they were designed only for one thing, destroyed, subsequent ghosts deprived of their means of transport ran into the next Quad and Motocross falling out of the corn field, now having a driver and a passenger, and their shot hit the green Skoda again, catching the last pieces of broken glass, destroying even the mirror, and the shocked Loona tilted her head, nervously shook her head in moment when two more Monster trucks driven by ghosts, including four passengers holding weapons, fell out of the grain field.
- What is going on here!. Blitzo shouted as he pulled out two grenades and threw them at the large armored monsters on wheels.
There was a huge explosion, huge black smoke rose into the sky and a cloud of fire consumed many approaching motorcyclists, but the main force that was supposed to destroy the two new monsters on wheels only slightly damaged them, because the heavy armor on the wheels and the vehicles themselves gave them complete resistance to the force of the grenades.
- we won't defeat them this way. Cletuc said, drawing an arrow and pointing it, along with Keenie's crossbow, at the flames.
Two golden arrows from a bow and a crossbow hitting the wall of fire caused the fire itself to glow with a strange power, and the falling motorcyclists and Quad drivers were scattered, and the Motocross and Quad drivers, deprived of their drivers, were scattering around, falling mainly under the wheels of the third Monster Truck which was rushing after the fugitives with great speed. speed.
Loona, who was driving, turned diagonally to the right, trying to keep her in place, her red eyes with white sclera trembled because in front of her she saw a small gorge and a bridge, and two Monster Truckers driving next to her suddenly hit her, squeezing the green Skoda, aiming at them, directing them to the abyss.
Everyone trembled, everyone started shooting again, but their bullets did not do much harm to the steel-covered wheels rushing at great speed, everything was moving towards one thing, a great culmination and impending tragedy, until Loona screamed as a huge explosion tore everything apart.
L
First, the strange interest of certain heroes, then Jack Badura who, as he himself said, has nothing that could surprise him, at the same time entering new waters, i.e. Men in Black, and now the beginning of a great race, everything will finally focus on one point, an active volcano on the island of Sicily.
