The Greed Ring, Mammon's Office
Mammon was pacing back and forth growling in irritation. Where the hell was this Imp? Mammon told the worm to be in his office by 11:00 am. It was already 11:03 and Mammon was not known for his patience. There was a strange red dot that suddenly appeared on his chest, looking up he saw the form of Striker hanging from the ceiling. Striker smirked and waved at him slowly before pulling the trigger. Mammon was furious how dare this upstart pull the trigger. Being a member of the Seven Deadly Sins a Holy gun and bullet couldn't kill him but it could still hurt like heaven.
That's when he noticed there was no pain, he looked up and saw Striker jump down and stroll up to him while chuckling. The gun he was holding was not in fact a Holy gun but a prop gun that had a flag coming out of the barrel that said 'Bang!' Striker smiled in a condescending manner and looked up at Mammon "So I hear you have a job for me?" Mammon was shocked by the gall that this Imp displayed. He was the embodiment of Greed, He was a King of Hell! Slowly he realized something, if this little Imp only held a shred of respect for his employers then he wouldn't care who the target was.
Slowly Mammon gained an evil smile, "Yes, I have a kidnapping job for you." Striker smiled and nodded his head urging the king to continue. Mammon held up a picture and said "Do you recognize this clown?" Striker smiled and nodded, that was the Imp that Crimson had hired him to kidnap. Mammon grinned when he looked into his eyes and saw pure determination. "I need you to extract this Imp from the Lust Ring and bring him to me in chains. You can rough up the little bitch but do not permanently harm him, he needs to be able to perform on the stage."
Striker grinned and asked "Just how much are you paying me for this job?" Mammon growled out "100,000 plus an extra 25,000 if you rough him up a little bit for making a fool out of me." Striker chuckled at that before he said "I want a million." Mammon yelled "You dare try and extort me? I will rip you to shreds!!!". Striker just looked him dead in the eyes before replying "Look you and I both know that little Imp is Asmodeus's little plaything. You want me to sneak into the Lust Ring and Kidnap a sins special toy? I would be risking the wrath of Asmodeus. If you want me to do this job then you will pay me 1,000,000. If not I am sure there are other sins that would like to have power over the King of Lust."
Mammon thought over this proposal before finally agreeing. Mammon moved in to shake Striker's hand and seal the deal but Striker stopped him. "Your majesty, do you think I'm a fool? Nobody will ever own my soul. Now, Satan alluded to you making my employment to you permanent; Care to elaborate?" Mammon grinned and said "Get the clown back here in one piece and we will talk."
Striker sneered at this pompous, greedy, worm; but he still wanted the job because this could lead to a better reputation and more heads to role. Striker smirked at the King of Greed before tipping his hat and walking out of the room. Mammon chuckled "I told you that you would regret it Ozzie, now I've come to collect."
Carmilla's Main Warehouse
"That's it you two, fight. Fight like your life depends on it." Carmilla jumped down to the duelist's and held twin knives at their throats. "Because some day your life very well could." The two duelist's turned out to be Charlie and Vaggie. After arriving at the warehouse Charlie was able to met Odette and after getting to know her. Charlie could honestly say she was very happy for the two of them and so proud of Vaggie for moving on with her life.
After meeting Carmilla she agreed to help train the future Queen of Hell if she allowed the continuation of black market weapons dealing. This was Carmilla's livelihood and she would ensure it's survival. Carmilla put away one knife and held out the other to Charlie "Please take this as a symbol and a gift. It will symbolize your promise you made to me. This knife is also a gift for your hard work over the past week. This knife is angelic but is able to absorb different elements to make it stronger. Use it well my Queen and Viyo con Dios (figuratively speaking of course)."
Alastor smiled at the interaction before thanking Carmilla and saying "Well we must be off, see you around." Alastor had one of his shadows expand and swallow both him and Charlie making them vanish from sight. Carmilla sighed before whispering "Showoff" and walking back to inspect her latest weapon shipment.
Review: I ask that all reviews be constructive criticism with suggestions on how to improve my story and writing overall. If you have nothing constructive or nice to say please do not leave a review at all. Don't like the story, don't read it. I know that many people loved the characters and story created by Vivienne "VivziePop" Medrano exactly as they were but I wanted to put my own little twist on it. I plan to post a new chapter about once a week. Best wishes all and hope you enjoy :)
