"Wait, hold on, wait a minute." Blitzo stopped the retelling of the story, which made the duo stop and stare at the owner of the I.M.P company who interrupted them. "Are you fucking kidding me? Did you really have wrestling classes from a professional wrestler just for the sake of a dancing competition?"
"Don't be so rude Blitzo," Carmilla slapped the back of his head which made the imp glares at the overlord of weapons. "Also, Moxxie didn't have classes,"
"It was just one class only, I was against the time, and I wasn't supposed to fight for a belt in tournament..."Moxxie was more clear in his explanation. "Lobo was kind enough to teach me only the basic moves he knew on wrestling, and I also had to balance with the time to learn flamenco before the next day."
"Well, at least now it explains how you gave a tombstone piledriver into that fish in Wrath Ring," Loona confessed as she recorded that move, she thought she would have fun seeing the fish chomping Moxxie many times, but the imp was so angry that at the time the fish got out from the water, Moxxie gave a wrestling move which she had her mouth dropped.
"Wait, did you piledrove a Wrath-Ring fish?" Odette raised her eyebrow at her husband who still rolled his eyes.
"Like I said, never want to go back there again."Moxxie's firm statement made Millie flinch and look sadly at her coworker since the experience they had at the blood moon festival really made him never want to go back to visit her family. "Can we just go back to the story?"
"Yeah, yeah, sure... Tell us how has been the suffering from your training?" Blitzo rolled his eyes, and knowing Moxxie of course he would tell on how hellish everything happened to him before the fight was.
"Alright, sir... Well, it was hell... A torture..." Moxxie once again looked at the picture of himself with a mask... "Luchadores really value the meaning of their masks..."
To say Moxxie was about to have the most difficult training of his life, was an understanding, he lost track of the time when he was launched into the floor when that fucking monster just managed to make him kiss the ring from a piledriver. The hellhound who said he was going to train the imp, just used him most of the part as a punchbag to teach the basics... and then used a mannequin to practice the wrestling move he just received a minute later...
It has been hellish torture, and with the imp tapping the floor many times to make the hellhound wrestler, release Moxxie from the cruel Boston Crab technique...
"You are sick," Moxxie whispered as his body couldn't keep up, with how much pain he had suffered in just 2 hours...
"They said that to me before. But the results of such insults would be a Romero Special submission hold." Lobo smiled widely which made the imp sweat behind his own mask.
"No, no no. AHHHHHHHHHHHH, UGHHHH, MY SPINE." Moxxie shouted as he knew that another hour of practicing such basic moves from wrestling would be his own doom...
"Now that you are in this position, it's time to teach you the values of what a wrestler fights for," Lobo commented as he pressed even more the back of the imp who was groaning in pain.
"Ughh, right now?" Moxxie asked in disbelief, as he felt his own back crack from the pressure.
"Yes, a luchador, a true wrestler fights for only 4 things." Lobo pressed further which made sure the imp was listening to him. "Honor, Family, Tradition."
Moxxie listened to the three things Lobo felt proud to talk about, and from the weight of his words, it seemed that everything he said, lady Carmilla and her family treated that as part of her own culture, and he could understand them agreeing with those words.
"And what is the fourth?" Moxxie said as he was feeling his muscles begging to stop, but the demon under him wasn't going to let him go easily.
"Donuts," Lobo replied like the most obvious answer in the world.
"Wait what?" Moxxie asked as he suddenly felt his face getting slammed on the floor. "Donuts? REALLY?"
"Yep, now hold this Camel Clutch," Lobo said as he was inspired to teach the basic power moves of wrestling, just for the despair of the imp who was just receiving the worst 3 hours of his entire life.
"NO, NO, UGHHHHHHHHHHH." Moxxie felt his face on the floor once again. And with his head spinning. He decided to have a little break to sleep.
"You are shitting me." Blitzo commented as he then saw a bunch of sweet sugary donuts above the table, which made him glance at Moxxie, Carmilla, and even Odete enjoying a very sweet dessert while the married couple was also enjoying a very good cup of coffee..."Wait, since when you brought donuts on here?"
"We always had," Loona commented as she pointed the finger which made her adoptive father glance at her. "El fatso always brings them here every morning, and we let them in the fridge until lunch."
"El fatso, really?" Moxxie raised his eyebrows at the hellhound who just wasn't surprised by the insult. Since he knew her for years.
Loona just shrugged, she wasn't in mode to provoke the imp and risk her life to be glared down by the overlord of weapons.
"It's alright honey, even if you got a few pounds on your sweer ass, mama like it to have a good grip."Odette giggled as she whispered such words to the imp who started to blush pink in front of everyone.
"Are you okay Mox?" Blitzo asked as he was with his mouth covered with jam from the donuts he had just eaten.
"Yeah, I'm fine." The imp commented as he tried to recover his composure.
"So can you tell the rest of the story?" Millie watched the interaction between the couple and she was curious to know how it ended. Since Moxxie's training showed very good progress in his life.
"Sure," Moxxie nodded his head, and with a donut in his hands, and dipping on the coffee... He explained how the training went after that torture.
Since at the time he was brought with the hellhound wrestler to a well-structured house, with a floor where each step could be heard, it was something that would make anyone distracted or even annoyed if wasn't for the fact that could be a perfect place to learn how to dance…
At the time he and Lobo walked around the saloon, the ominous silence was then interrupted by the flashlights which made them both give a step back. And from the time the light appeared, from the ceiling, an object fell down to the floor, and like a mist covering the entire area… The duo was greeted by a red eagle sinner, as a great way to surprise someone, Moxxie almost feel down in surprise. Even if he showed some good sweet voice of the well adorned eagle man who appeared.
"No esperaba verte aquí, lobo. ¿Quién es este? (Didn't expect to see you here, Lobo, who is this?)" The delicate voice asked as Moxxie tilted his head in confusion… While he was used to some words in Spanish, he didn't know how to reply a whole conversation.
"Un nuevo estudiante. Es un luchador nuevo, que mañana tendrá un combate de rencor, será un combate flamenco. (A new student, it's a new wrestler, tomorrow he is going to have a grudge fight, it's a flamenco combat.)" Lobo replied, which made Moxxie gulp at the presence of the said man… His face while smaller than the hellhound in front of him, was covered in a mask that had white and blue colors, contrasting the whole feathers from his presence.
"Ah, flamenco." The man smiled as he felt nostalgic. "And seeing from your expression, you have no idea into what we were talking about. So let me present myself. I'm El Rey. And I'm curious to see how much you know about flamenco."
"Err…" Moxxie was surprised to see the man called El Rey, and he couldn't help but tell the truth. "I don't know how to dance."
"AHHHHHHHHHHH." And then suddenly El Rey jumped and screamed like a pitch tone in terror and shock and from his place and stared angrily at the imp. "¿Como, no sabes dançar? (WHAT, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DANCE?) HOW THE HELL DID YOU LEARN ABOUT FLAMENCO THEN? ERES UNA VERGÜENZA! (YOU ARE A SHAME)"
Moxxie flinched as the sinner pointed at him until he looked down…
"Let's go chico. (Let's go, boy). We have a lot of work to do." El Rey then held the head of the poor imp and brought the scared Moxxie to the middle of the room. "Lobo!"
"On it." The hellhound wrestler said as he cracked his jaw, and by making his teeth sharper… then he started to make the castanets noises with only his teeth.
Moxxie was surprised until he saw the same person who was ready to teach him how to dance was now in a faraway distance, he didn't even say the sinner eagle leaving, but there were big curtains nearby the imp who had no idea where it came from. And then a familiar voice came from behind the curtains.
"Get ready to be dazzled by the light of a thousand red suns."The voice of El Rey appeared from behind the curtains, the imp had his eyes wide open, and his curiosity picked, up as the sinner showed the passion behind their voice. "Get ready to leave the world burning. GET READY FOR..."
And by jumping out of the curtains, the dress he was using before was now replaced with a well-adorned shirt and flamboyant pants, and with his arms wide open, a dramatic and yet passionate pose was enough to show the eagle sinner ready to teach the imp on that moment.
"FLAMENCO." El Rey said as the sound of castanet teeth was heard, and Moxxie was in awe to see the appearance of the sinner already stomping his foot around the imp, and with a good clap on his hands. Everything ended with a pose.
"It's beautiful El Rey, but I cannot dance." Moxxie tried to be reasonable with the eagle sinner, but suddenly he felt grabbed by the collar and raised to the face of the angry sinner.
"CANNOT DOESN'T EXIST FOR LUCHADORES, NOW GET UP IMP, WE HAVE A LOT TO WORK." El Rey didn't give a crap about what Moxxie was trying to say and immediately made himself stand up, and by his side, El Rey started to give the instructions. "Follow my steps."
Moxxie paid attention as El Rey clapped his hands.
"In one, in two and three, spin and stomp." El Rey clapped the rhythm and Moxxie counted until it went the time and followed what the sinner had said, and at the right moment, he stomped the floor. "Again."
Moxxie followed the same instructions again, and El Rey finally gave the true meaning of Flamenco.
"Flamenco is only an extension for the passion you have for your life, for your mask, for your family, for your honor, for your tradition, for donuts, for friendship, for your love," El Rey explained as Moxxie gave slight steps, and then pointed at his chest. "It comes from the heart, and not from the foot, it flows inside your blood. Let it guide you. "
The imp remained quiet, as he could hear the beats of his own heart, and how his body was moving to his own... He finally understood what he meant by that, and with inspiration and a new hope in his mind... He felt ready to learn how to dance.
"Do you know where he is?" Clara asked as she could see her own sister tapping her foot nervously, both daughters of Carmila were discussing possible strategies that the fight they would have on the next day. However, they were supposed to train their dance to get used to their own style.
However it has been 9 hours since the last time they found the imp around, and from the tiny break he said to their mother, it seems they lost track of where he has been.
"I have no idea, do you think he gave up?" Odette said in a fearful tone, knowing that if she appeared without a partner on the day of the fight, she wouldn't only get humiliated, but also most of the public who were making the donations for charity would want refunds, and she wanted to help the reconstruction of the city as the way she did all those years.
"Calm down me hijas, I know Moxxie will appear on his time, he may be reflecting on a way to help us out, or at least trying to find the right person to help you... We've known him for months, and he isn't the type of person who would just leave us alone without a good reason." Carmilla said as she hoped for their new friend to find the courage he needed, because now the time was running out, and they would need any kind of signal for their help. Suddenly the hellphone from the Overlord of weapons started to ring, and to her relief, it was exactly from the person they were worried about. "Hola, Moxxie, where have you been?"
"I had a very busy morning Lady Carmilla, but now I'm more than ready for the Lucha of Grudge..."And from those words, Carmilla smiled, knowing that once again her family would be in debt for a good friend since they needed him.
"Okay, so come to the tower, we need to have you both prepared to work together, and you need to understand the rules for the Lucha of tomorrow," Carmilla said in a happy tone... it seemed everything was going to be okay.
The event happened almost in the middle of the Pentagram City, a full arena made underground for most of the people who wanted to use that place to refugee sinners from the attacks of the executors, many times the event was placed as a good form to not just show some protection for the sinners who tried to leave, but also to bring some of the best events of the year, when wrestlers from all hell, sinners or even demon borns inspired by the wrestlers of the living world. Comes to that place in Pentagram City, just for the sake of watching a very good wrestling match.
"Quieres saber como ele estas?" A familiar sinner eagle commented at the hellhound with a mask, wearing a brown jacket and sunglasses, even as the sake he was very famous as a wrestler, sometimes people are just too fucking dumb and ignorant to not recognize under his disguise.
"Si, pero tengo una idea on how this will turn out." Lobo smiled as he could see very well choose seats in the middle line, he usually loves to see amateurs match, but knowing this would be for a charity and a construction happening around Pride Ring, Lobo gave a very generous offer of hundreds of thousands souls, since he was eager to see how an imp managed to learn the basics from him and the eagle on his side.
"Hmm..." El Rey nodded his head, but since there was nothing to do... he kissed the cheeks and eagerly moved his lips towards the hellhound's mouth, a good time for their own entertainment while having nothing better to do... They waited until the host of the said event finally appeared.
A turtle sinner with a mustache, a sinner who had been around and living cowardly inside of his shell for so many events, and from seeing on how usually the executors never try to look for the rocks or shells which sembled it, he mostly of the time survived.
And from being a coward most of the time managed to survive his own ass from all the troubles... But now the turtle sinner wasn't about to talk about his life or past... there was an important event to participate in.
"Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you all for coming to the main event of charity, since this morning a festival with a cannibal colony on the main park of Pentagram City managed to raise funds for the reconstruction of the city for 126 thousand souls, we just need more 400 thousand to make us reconstruct some of the bakeries, and even some stores from Pentagram City, Rosie even is willing to make an auction with her clothing and special commissions for the best offers around." The turtle sinner showed his willingness to raise money for the reconstruction of the city, "The king himself seemed to be busy with his own personal projects, but he was even able to donate a very generous offer for the reconstruction of some plastic toy factories, so the children can have something nice to play as well."
That caused a very well-behaved rose of claps to demon-borns and even sinners who were satisfied to see some of the funds were being well raised.
"And now... Let's start with the event by telling what's going to happen on this schedule. Firstly we are going to have our rematch of grudge... between a wrestling match of dancers, showing their inner wild side, and revenge of humiliation they suffered from the last year..." The turtle sinner smiled as he could see the smiles and laughs from the sinners who were there to see how the fight would be. "After that, there is a carnival which will happen on the street a few quarters away, so I hope you all brought a lot of money because we need all the money you have... So who wants to see a good fight?"
And like a hype man, he brought the attention he wanted... Since everyone was cheering to see a good fight, and possibly some killing around.
"And remember, as you are using this mask, this clothing, and you have focused into the fight, you both cannot say a word... You can laugh, you can groan... But if you want to communicate... You must speak flamenco." The matriarch explained as the couple who were dressed in their respective clothes... they didn't open their mouths. But with a simple nod, they were ready for the combat. "Alright, Buena Suerte mi hija, and you too Moxxie, good luck."
And now the couple was ready to participate...
"Well, it seems everyone is ready to make your bets." The turtle sinner smugly said as he pointed at the big arena, showing a wrestling ring, ready for everyone to watch the fight that was about to happen. "Welcome all for the Wrestling Grudge... to show our event of charity... On my right side, we have a duo representing the losers of the last year... ODETTE AND MOXXIE."
At the time the spotlight was placed on the ring Odette was stomping her foot and snapping her castanets, while Moxxie even if he is way smaller than her, was with his serene smile on his face while he raised both his hands and clapped above his hat.
The sinners from Latin Culture clapped as they were cheering for their rematch.
"And from the left side, we have the winners of the last year, known for their cruel style of Ballroom dance, THE BALROOM BLITZKRIEGS." The turtle sinner shouted as the spotlight showed the image of the duo dancing with their fingers raised in the air, and when they made a pose, they showed a malevolous giggle in the direction of the imp and the sinner who were working together.
Moxxie scoffed as he clapped a few times before showing his middle finger at them.
The provocations of the fight were already reaching the pick, and now they were waiting for them to start.
"AND NOW, LET'S MAKE THE WRESTLING COMMENCE." The Turtle sinner jumped away from the duo who were about to start their fight.
At the time the song started, Moxxie waited for some cords of guitar before started clapping for the song, and Odette already smirked as the combination of their synchrony was creating the perfect metronome, and seeing the duo of ballroom blitzkriegs already gave a spin and uniting their hands to form a duo punch. The sinner daughter of the lady of weapons spun as he took from his pocket a red fabric, and like a torero placed above his arm.
"Ohh, bold move," Lobo commented, as he could see the provocation the imp was making for the duo, whose eyes became red, and immediately their hairs grew up like the horns of a bull. It was a real provocation towards the couple.
Odette giggled, but let the imp walk in front of the duo who were ready to hit him. But in the next second moved his own sombrero, and launched in the direction of the duo, who were distracted and moved their heads away from the imp, on the next second the couple couldn't see where the small hell-born was, until the female Ballroom's Blitzkrieg's leg, and pulled which made the couple lose their grip, and let them fall at the ring.
The duo was surprised until the girl immediately regretted to look.
The imp was doing a Boston Crab on both her legs. The girl felt a terrible pain in her legs, while the male narrowed his eyes, and tried to reach the masked imp a slap came strongly at the face of the male dancer, he was stunned by the sudden slap until he felt the pinches of dammed castanets pinching his face and body.
The woman couldn't take the pain anymore, and she managed to take the imp behind her back and gave a back head to his back, making Moxxie lose the grip of her legs. A little imp who managed to take a woman almost triple his size, and made a Boston Crab on her made the dancer narrow her eyes, and try to kick him out.
Moxxie was surprised by the sudden move, but thankfully Odette pulled him away, and both couples gave distance before their fight recommenced.
As soon as the dance battle continues, the Ballroom Blitzkrieg started to dance before using their iconic double fist punch, however now Odette and Moxxie stomp strongly, and with the rhythm of the beats and the guitar, they imitated their rivals, and both tag teams charge at each other with the Ballroom Blitzkrieg sent flying backward from the collision. But the two refuse to back down and charge at Moxxie who also got flung backwards as well.
Moxxie felt his back on the ring and was still stunned by how quickly the attack was enough to make him away from his partner... And then the time he blinked, he saw the Blitzkrieg couple coming in his direction, and he sweat drop from not having the right position to defend himself, but thankfully, Odette opened her fan, and jumping in front of the couple, she blocked the double fist attack, which made Moxxie claps saying thanks in gratitude. And with a powerful swing, Odette managed to swat them away.
Offering her hand to the imp who saw his partner again, he felt his heart and blood still ready to fight, so by accepting the hand of his partner, they boy stomped strongly at the floor, and went with their own double fist attack, running in the direction of the couple who were still in the ring's floor.
As the two flamenco partners get close for an attack, the Ballroom Blitzkriegs decide to tower over their opponents by having the female ballroom dancer ride on her partner's shoulders, before charging forward again, and with a screaming which would resemble a charge... Moxxie and Odette were smirking at their advantage but after seeing this, Odette smiled as she rides on Moxxie's shoulders before the two come running at them as well even with the difference in size and weight, Moxxie was all hyped for they going to beat the crap of the fuckers...
Both keep their distances from each other, they are two towers trying to attack but also to avoid getting hit by each other, Moxxie was trying to stomp the male's Blitzkriegs foot, while Odette was trying to avoid the slaps coming from the female ballroom dancer but in exchange she also tried to use her castanets to hit them at the same time... Luckily for the flamenco dancers, Odette managed to hurt the two with her castanets, causing the Ballroom Blitzkriegs to lose balance.
Moxxie smiled as he stepped on the male Ballroom Blitzkrieg dancer's foot, which not only caused the female Ballroom Blitzkrieg dancer to fly out of the ring but also from the big weight of the male ballroom dancer, had his suit ripped leaving him in his underwear, causing Moxxie, Odette and all the public laugh at him, making the naked sinner to flee in embarrassment and crying for his momma.
Both Moxxie and Odette do a brief victory flamenco dance.
Moxxie remembered on how Flamenco was about to follow the instincts of his own heart, and what his blood and beats of his heart wanted... So as an exchange of gratitude for the amazing time, and how much he learned, Moxxie ended the performance by handing Odette a rose, Odette was so happy that she accepted... With a nice smell from the flower, Moxxie was distracted with his eyes closed and didn't manage to catch the truck since he felt his face being held by two hands, and his lips were touched by the sinner's flamenco dancer and his friend's daughter as well...
Moxxie was so surprised by the sudden love attack of Odette, that he had no idea on what happened after that day. Life was awesome.
"Oh, look at that." Carmilla watched the event, as all the sinners clapped happily from the victory, and she even looked at two sinners luchadores who seemed proud of what happened... She recognized who they were, and she was grateful for their help... Seeing how everyone was satisfied with the fight. It seems that she got way more than she wanted... "That's an interesting turn of events... Never thought I would see that side of your's mi hija."
Carmilla smirked because now she knew what she could do to them both.
"I gotta say, Odette, I never thought you had in you for kissing Moxxie at that moment," Carmilla commented as she smirked at the duo who blushed from that memory. "But in summary, that was the start of everything... I discovered what style of fighting Moxxie would use, and how a little crush between them two started... Ah lo amor, es tan belicimo."
Millie felt her eyes sparkle from seeing how romantic a battle ended with the start of an amazing couple. While Loona rolled her eyes, she got to admit that she likes to know the limp dick had some awesome moves, from the posts of Vortex, she saw him being a big fan of wrestling matches, so she could ask him about Lobo... or El Rey.
Blitzo rolled his eyes but found that the donut box was empty... And he was clearly disappointed. And was about to complain, until Carmilla took from her side, another box of donuts. Which made his eyes sparkle.
"Okay, I admit, your in-law family is awesome Moxxie, you don't need to brag about it," Blitzo said as he happily was eager for another sweet dessert, and before Moxxie was to deny it, Blitzo already ignored him.
"Oh crumbs... that's my life." Moxxie rolled his eyes, but not before receiving a kiss on his cheek... from his wife... and with a smile, he couldn't deny it. "And I wouldn't change that for anything in the 7 rings."
"That's mi amor," Odette smirked and both kissed in the meeting room...
Just like any other day.
