Chapter 2: Asmodus Lament
After Frizzaroli and his son and his sons assistant managed to get away from there guardians Asmodus the lord of lust was trying to get away from the group of town girls and males attracted to him as he sweat dropped as a pair of fish kin girls named Glitz and Glam swooned at the handsome Lust leader "Ooh Asmodus you make wounds ooze and skin crawl" the two switched said in unison "Thank you thank you very much" he said as luckily Moxxie and Izuku called everyone to give out awards as the crowd return to the central area "Our first reward goes to the 1010 vampire brothers for the most blood suck in a single evening" said Moxie as Izuku pulled out a reward as Asmodus went around a corner as he sighed in relief wipping some sweat off his brow as he sighed and walked off to the exit gate as he heard music as approaching he saw Arabella 'Bella' shine a 9 tailed fox sinner and her wife and her five husbands Beth hale a neplam, King candy (WIR) a cybug like sinner, Jacko a pumpkin skeleton like demon, Brook a skeleton sinner Betrayus a fire ghost like sinner and Scrawl a mishmashed creature sinner as they were playing music with Bella playing the sax as Asmodus dropped a coin in a hat as Bella noticed "Nice night Oz" said Bella as Asmodus smiled.
Bella and her wife and 5 husbands are the richest in all of Halloween town but they tend to do music like this and are pretty humble "It was indeed great *Puts his hands in his pockets* just like last year…and the year before that…and the year before that" he said glummy as he went through the exit as the others watched "Poor Oz" said Beth "Poor guy needs a boy or girl in his life" said King Candy as the others agreed seeing how gloomy sad the poor rooster was.
It then goes into the graveyard where Frizzaroli, Oliver and Krim escaped as he looked at his limbless arm as Oliver looked worried [Are you gonna be ok papa?] signed Oliver "I'll be ok, I wish Loopy and Lyle wasn't so forceful to us but at least we got away *Looks at his armless sleeve* though I am disarmed" said Frizz chuckling "A cute joke but you know we have to go back for your arm and you know you have to keep this hidden from your moms" said Krim as Frizzaroli sighed "I know I know" he said wanting to continue but heard the sound of the gate opening as he used his other hand to pat Olivers back and gestured to follow to hide behind a grave stone with him and Krim as the three hid as Frizzaroli peeked and smiled seeing it was Asmodus.
Ever since he was a kid Frizzaroli had harbored a crush on the rooster demon though he struggled to speak to him and often feels jelious of his adopted brother Blitzo who was dating Asmodus Cousion and wished he can have his confidence to tell Ozzie his feelings However Asmodus he felt he was in a rut of emotions as he sighed as he walked over to a grave shaped like a dog house with the words "Aliu" as he patted his leg "Aleu come on girl" he said as from the grave came a blue eyed wolf-dog with light grey-tanned fur and glowing in her chest was a beautiful orange flame like heart as she stretched and looked at her master "Hi Ozzie I hope festivities were amazing" she said as Asmodus smiled "It was *Sad* but felt…" he started as he leaned on a statue deep in thought and then started to sing.
Asmodus: there are few who deny it what I do I am the best for my talents are renowned far and wide (Sneaks behind a head stone and peek a bo peeks)
When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
I excel without ever even trying
With graceful leaps despite his size he lept from headstone to headstone with no issue
WIth the slightest little effort of my ghost like charms I have seen grown men get off a shreak.
With a wave of my hand and a well placed moan (At the edges it was red like flames as his floof seemed to be more solid flames
I have swept the very bravest off there feat
However with a sad look that was reflected in his two animal heads in his floof he jumped off the head stones
But year after year its the same old thing
And I grown so tired of the sound of screams
And I asmodus the Lord of lust (Gets into a dramatic poise…then deflates)
Has grown so tired of the same old thing
He then started to make his way to the spiral hill a mysterious hill with a curved tip that lead to the woods with Aleu following and Frizzaroli, Oliver and Krim also following in secret using the gravestones as over.
Oh somewhere deep inside of these bones an emptiness began to grow
There's something out there far from my home
(Places his hand to his heart) a longing that I never known
The rooster like sin didn't know when it happened but something crawled into his chest a longing that he can't explain not love as he knows how that feels due to being the prince of lust but it was diffrent, unknown that he cant explain.
I'm the master of fright and a demon of light (Waves his hands to the pumpkin as they unleashed a blue flame ghosts)
And I'll scare you right out of our pants
Carefully as he sang Frizzaroli, using his only arm to hold Oliver close and tight and Krim hid between tombstones to get a bit closer, Oliver may not hear Asmodus sing due to being to far to read his lips but can tell how he is speaking with his gestures and poise.
From a guy in Kentucky and and I am known even all throughout France
Aleu and Asmodus looked near the tombstone where they hid as Frizzaroli was in awe at what the lord had done in scaring mortal humans and half demons in the other world as Oliver huge his papas side as Krim signed told him about all of Ozzies actions as Frizzaroli smiled.
No Animal or man can scream like I can! With the fury of my Recitations!
At that Asmodus sighed in a depressive tone
But who here would ever understand that the King of lust with the lustful grin
Would tire of his crown (Hugs himself) if they only understood
He'd give it all up if he only could…
Frizzaroli yelped as he pulled Oliver back for he and Krim to hide behind the gravestone as Asmodus and Aleu looked in his direction but failed to notice as the hill uncurled as he walked down it walking into the forest as the hill curled up
Oh there's an empty place in my bones
That calls out for something unknown
The fame and praise that comes year after year
Does nothing for these empty tears…
Asmodus miserbly entered the woods as Frizzaroli, Oliver and Krim watched as Frizzaroli got sad "Oh Ozzie…I know how you feel" he said which was true as after a accident in the circus where he and his adopted sister and brother Blitzo and Barbie wire worked in before being adopted by Bella and her lovers that caused him to lose his limbs it was a struggle emotionally as he felt his adopted son hugged his waist as he smiled and used his only limb to pat his head as they made it to a a little garden with herbs as with one hand and Oliver and Krims help harvested the plants as they returned to a large lab (After passing by his adopted moms and dads to say hi, careful to hide his lost arm) as he and Oliver placed the herbs in a jar and put them away in a secret spot.
"Frizz your back!" Said a male voice as Frizz quickly closed the cabinet to hide the herbs and turned and saw two imps. One was lethe with a serpent like face and a heart shaped birthmark with white birthmark like splotches and yellow eyes dressed in a white shirt and overalls (AN: think his Full moon outfit) and curved black and white horns the other was a female version of him with black horns with thin white stripes and dressed in a black and white school girl uniform, there names are Blitzo and Barbie wire, Frizzarolis adopted brother and sister and assistants to Loopy and Lyle and at times baby sitters for Oliver when Frizz is out.
"Hi Blitz hi Barb glad to see it is you and not Loopy or Lyle, give it to me straight they are mad are they?" Asked Frizzaroli as Barbie walked over to gently pet Olivers head "They are and Oliver you know its risky to leave without your hearing aids, I know you don't want special treatment but you know what mama Beth and Papa Rinni said" signed Barbie as Oliver sighed "I Know but they are still fancy" said Oliver slowly as Blitzo came over with a pair of green headphones (AN: think Nekus headphones but green) "Fancy or not if you accidently get separated from Frizzaroli or Krim it will be risky since you are deaf and not many know sign language" said Blitzo as Oliver pouted as he carefully adjusted them.
Loopy: Frizzaroli
"There also mad about the drugged drinks and my arm smacking them?" Said Frizzaroli as the two nodded "They are but they slowly cooled off" said Blitzo as the two robotic inventors walked down a curled stare case "You came back all three of you?" Said Lyle as Frizz rubbed his loose sleeve "I had to" he started as Loopy showed his prosthetic as it waved as Frizzaroli looked down. "Come on, Blitzo Barbie wire please watch Oliver this is a private talk and Krim go with them and no easdroping this is a private talk" said Loopy as Frizzaroli sighed and followed the two robots as Oliver wanted to follow but Barbie picked him up "Come on better let them talk it out" she said as Oliver winned a bit.
In a lab Frizzaroli was sitting on a hospital bed as Loopy was checking over the arm "That was twice you slipped sleeping powder into me and Lyles drinks and twice you snuck out with your son and his translator since your son refused to wear his hearing aid for some dumb reason that it was to fancy" said Lyle bringing tools and checking the arm "Actually 3 times boss" he said cheeky as Lyle rolled over with the arm "You are our assistant under contract by your old father Buckzo before he died you maybe adopted by the richest couple in Halloween town but you are still ours until you complete your first adopted fathers debts" said Lyle as Frizzaroli sighed.
Due to his talents in the circus his first adopted father Buckzo signed signed a contract with the two brothers before Blitzo accidently caused the fire due to jealousy and frustration at how Buckzo treated him and sold him to the duo, he was at least happy Blitzo and Barbie followed to be assistants to take the rub off. "It is a phase Frizzaroli it will pass" said Loopy as he pushed up the sleeve where his missing arm is and popped the prosthetic on and turned it on as Frizzaroli flexed "You need to be patient that's all" said Loopy as Frizzaroli sighed "but I don't want to be patient" he said as he knows why he is stuck to stay in the lab. He is there tester on mechanical stuff and he is a very attractive and a virgin imp and unmarked without a mate unlike Blitzo who managed to be dating Asmodus cousion Stolas and Barbie wire who was dating a very popular Sucububs pop star singer named Vercrosia. He wishes to have one himself but he was attracted to a certain rooster.
WIth Oliver he was taken to bed as he was put into his PJs by Blitzo "Uncle Blitzo why won't Loopy and Lyle let me and papa go out?" Asked Oliver "Because your papa is well, very attractive and unmarked with a mate and that is dangerous and they are to afraid to face the wrath of your grandparents which his why they are protective and by extension you because you are Frizzs adopted son, which is bunk you are young and need to go out and see the world as a kid, me and your uncle allowed your aunts to go out" said Blitzo as the male imp got a teddy bear that looked like Frizzi as Oliver hugged it due to loosing his birth parents at the age of 1 it left some emotional clinging scars that made him afraid to be alone when he was a baby so Frizzaroli made a doll version of him to hug when he had to go out which helped the impling alot and it was his precious treasure.
"Get some rest kiddo its a new day tommorow" said Blitzo as he left and turned off the lights the faint glow of a nightlight filled the room with light as Oliver hugged his doll closer 'I still wish me and papa can still go out on our own' he thought as he went to sleep. Back with Asmodus he and Aleu were walking through the dark woods as the wolf-dog wanted to cheer her master up "Hay come on how about a game of fetch" she asked as Asmodus gently waved it off "No Aleu I am not in the mood" he said as she nosed him "Come on it will make you feel a bit better" she said as Asmodus smiled and conjured up a flame ball that won't burn "Ok Aleu here you go" he said as he tossed it as it bounced away as she came to a tree hallow as the ball snuffed to a glowing stone but her heart flame glowed to reveal the hot rock as she grabbed it no issue and ran back to her master as the Roster continued forward…where…no clue but hopefully something to help him out of this emotional rut.
