Chapter 4: The grim dark future, part 1: The hive life.

They may be the emperor angel, or the protector of humanity.

But like every soldier or citizen of the imperium,

They still need us to make their bullet and gun,

They are the sword; we are the hammer.

Testament of a hive world factory worker.

?: "Hooooo Blitzy~~, I am waiting here~~" continued the seduce voice behind the door.

Puffing his cheek to let out an exasperated sigh, Blitzo relucted to his fate and stomped his way to open the door.

Blitz: "Sometime I really ask myself, why I did this in the first place" he muttered under his breath.

Stolas mansion, few hours earlier.

Waking up from his bed alone again, Stolas didn't know how to react with the new turn of event that have taken place in the year, since him and his wife have officially signed the paper for their divorce, Stella have decided to move at his brother mansion with half of the servant house, while also taking Octavia with her at least one times a week.

Being finally free from the grasp of his wife, he thought that he could at last live the life he has dreamed for him and his big d*** Blitz…Halas, this dream would never become true since the tragic event that have occurred with his adoptive daughter, who apparently have disappeared in an unknown portal.

Having heard of the situation day later, Stolas tried with all his might and power to locate the magical essence of this portal, but each attempt was rewarded with failure, for a certain reason, each time he have tried to trace it, was abruptly stopped or rejected by an unknow force, a force that for some reason, made him feel…uncomfortable, afraid even, of course Stolas would be a liar if he ever said that he wasn't a person to be insensible in the face of fear (Stella being the proof of this), but this kind of fear was something more related to a primordial instinct, an instinct that only the mortal could feel.

Stolas: "*sigh* I need a bath" with a last yawn, Stolas stood up from his bed to direct himself in the bath area of his room.

Summoning his magic to fill the bathtub with some bubbly a hot water, he slowly let himself dive in it, leaving out his worries on another more concerning matter, aside the disappearance of his daughter lover, the subject was now more concerned about his lover himself, "Lover…" a word he wondered if he could use it anymore, having been more distant toward him and the people around, Stolas could saw the guilt of sadness eat is…friend as the time passed by, being in the biggening in the form of anger toward this little Imp named Moxxie, if he remembered correctly, it rapidly started to change on another path, and lead him in the direction of the most alcoholic, drug and sex way he could have ever seen.

Wanting to reassure him and emotionally help him as much has he can, he has been proved to be one of the stupidest choices that Stolas could have ever done to angering him even more, lashing out all the insult and rage on him, Blitzo in his feat of wrath, have finally spill out the truth about is real intention on him, apparently, he have only used him for his grimoire and to satisfy his own greed, in hope to financially help his daughter and friend…of course did he already knew all of this, he knew he was being used, he knew that deep down the sentiment weren't mutual, but even with all this, hope was bonding Stolas to Blitzo, hope for is love being finally becoming true, hope for a better tomorrow with him, hope…was making him continue this little act, and forced him to push forward…but with their mask now broken, and the curtains finally falling between them, the act was done…so in the sake for his own heart and soul, Stolas with remorse, left his Blitzy side, alone in his own sadness.

Letting him borrow his grimoire from time to time, and still trying to trace his daughter, Stolas knew that nothing would be same anymore, never.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*

Looking at the door with disdain, Stolas quickly took a handful of water before splattering his face with it.

Stolas: "Enter"

Coming in the room with a corded telephone, an old Imp, dress in an butler attire, tip toed his way to the prince.

?: "You have a call sir, from this Blitzo with an silent 'O' I think" he addressed to the Goeatia gracefully.

Leaving out a sigh of disinterest, he grabbed the phone to put it on a nearby nightstand.

Stolas: "Thank you, you can continue your duty" he responded to his butler while doing a dismissive gesture with his hand.

Bowing once again, the butler immediately took out is leaves elsewhere.

Taking a deep breath and clearing his throat in preparation, he responded to the phone with an nervous voice.

Stolas: "H-Hey Blitz-"

Blitz:"HEYSTOLASWHAT'SUPIWASTHINKINGYOUWOULIKETOCOMEATTHEOFFICEPARTYWEAREAREGOINGTOORGANIZEBECAUSE-SHITIFORGOTTOSAYTHATLOONIEISBACKANDSHEISSOFUCKINGBADASSRIGTHNOWWITHALLTHISELECTROBULLSHITONHERAND-"

To be surprise was understandable for Stolas right now, hearing Blitz being happy and rumble on the phone again was one of the things he didn't except today, but the second, "Loonie, did I hear that right?" Steel hearing the Imp ramble on the phone like a mad announcer, Stolas took out another deep breath before concentrating his magic on his vocal cord.

Stolas: "BLITZ!" he shouted on the phone with a distorted voice, making the imp stop on the other side of the line, calming his nerve and dissipating his magic, he once again clears out his throat, "Now that you are more calm, first good morning, and second, why did you call me and why are you so excited today" he gestured while pointing a finger at each sentence "Not that I'm complaining tho, I love when he get excited".

Sensing Blitz recompose himself on the phone with an small (and cute) 'okay', Stolas readjusted is leg to have a better position.

Blitz: "Right, sorry" Clearing out is mind, Blitz on his side, seated on a nearby chair before giving him a response, "So…hello, I guess…and I…I wanted to…invite you for a party at the office" he said with nervousness.

Raising an eyebrow in suspicion, Stolas rested his head on his hands in an intrigued manner.

Stolas: "And in what occasion would you like to party, Blitz?" Sliding into his bath, Stolas closed his eyes to appreciate the comfort of the hot water.

Blitz: "My daughter is back"

Shocked by the new, Stolas accidently felled into is bath, almost drowning himself in it, quickly recovering from is little incident and spitting out the water he accidently swallows, he desperately tried to search for his phone, who in the meantime have flail from his grasp and sink into the bath.

Stolas: "Fuck, fuck,fuck,fuck,fuck,fuck,fuc-there it is!" catching is phone, and putting it back on his ear, he rapidly cast out a spell to evaporate the water on it, "Sorry, but~ did I just…miss heard that Blitz".

Blitz: "No, you perfectly hear it bird ass, my Loonie is back!" he screams out in joy, "And we all intended to do a fucking party to celebrate that…" hesitating for a moment, Blitz took out a long pause before swallowing a large lump of saliva, "And in the meantime…I was thinking if you would…be…interested to…join"

Has it been a simple gesture for Blitz to bond again with his…associate, for Stolas, it was the sparkle he had asked to reappear a long time ago, this sparkle of hope.

Hope that their love was still possible, hope that there was still a chance to make is project become true, hope…that everything would be like he had dreamed before.

And so, without question in mind or any sense of hesitation, he instantly gave his answer.

Stolas: "I would be glad to join you, my nasty little big d*** Blitzy~~" he answers it with an sensual tone.

Blitz: "Okay first of all-"

Stolas: "I'll see you in an hour~~" Hanging on the phone, and exiting his bath, Stolas immediately grabbed a nearby towel, and run in the direction of his dresser like a teenager being invited at prom.

"This day is going to be a fucking great day! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA-"

Octavia: "Dad! Shut up!"

Covering his mouth in shame and seizing his moment of madness joy, Stolas have completely forgot that he was guarding his daughter for the week, "Shit, Via, I can't leave her here, what kind of father I would be" thinking with a finger on his chin, a sudden idea came to him, "Unless…".

I.M.P office, present time.

Jumping in place on the chair that Millie have provided for him, Stolas couldn't stop to feel like a little kid being invited at a birthday party, too happy and excited, he, for this occasion decided to wear the t-shirt and short he has used during the event of Loo-Land with Octavia before (except the hat).

Speaking of his daughter, she was right now sitting between him and Blitz while discussing with Loona about her new appearance, having turned eighteen last year, she was now wearing her usual beanie with an AC-DC shirt and a constellation skirt with a pair of long converses, all drown in an assortment of black, white, and blue colors.

Being grumpy and skeptical at the idea to come with him, her mood immediately turned to 360 degrees when her father has announced the return of Loona, which in turn have deeply confused Stolas for a moment, "Did they know each other?" Brushing of this thought, they both immediately headed to the I.M.P headquarter, but not before bringing with them a bottle of one the strongest and raffiné alcohol of their basement.

Octavia: "Jesus Christ Loona, you look like you have been thrown into a meat grinder, while being drunk on some aging potion…what are you now, Forty? Fifty?" She said while looking at all the scar that Loona have accumulated over her disappearance, "Why the fuck is this one burned".

Stolas: "Octavia, that is not an appropriate way to-"

Being stop mid act by the soft snort and hand gesture of Loona, Stolas waited with an raised eyes brow.

Stolas: "It's okay your majesty, no harm have been done here, actually, Octavia is almost right on a few certain thing" taking a sip from her bottle, she pointed a finger on Octavia, "Except that I'm thirty-six now, little one" she retorted with a smug grin.

Squinting her eyes in exasperation, none of the I.M.P team could hold their laugh at such a remark, even her own father was laughing at her demise, "Traitor".

Continuing to laugh, for a moment, Stolas came back to his with a more serious subject.

Stolas: "So Loona, where were you when you got yourself being drag in that portal?" he said while resting his head on his hand.

Taking another sip from her whiskey, she grumbles between her breath while massaging her temp.

Loona: "Okay" putting her bottle and stretching her finger, she clears out her throat before responding to Stolas, "Recap for his majesty and his daughter".

Stolas: "Please, call me Stolas dear"

Loona: "Whatever suits you…Stolas" seeing him smile she continued with her elbow rested on the table, "So, for a recap, it all started…".

A few minutes have passed since Loona have retold the event of her disappearance, and being disturbed was one of the sentiments that Stolas and Octavia could share right now.

Octavia: "So, let me get this straight" she said with her finger on the temp of her head, "One of the maniac who have attacked the house of King fucking Lucifer, just burst out into your office before trying to kill all of you, and in the end fail by dying miserably…to ultimately explode into an portal, sending you on another universe, who also if heard correctly, confuse you to some sort of mutant…and try to kill you in the end" finally sentencing her resume with a baffled expression, she looked at Loona, who in return nodded to her statement.

Loona: "Precisely"

Groaning in pity for her friend, Octavia didn't know what to think or said about this.

Stolas: "That have must be…quite the experience…if I could pull it that way"

Chuckling at Stolas word, Loona took her bottle before taking a long sip from it.

Loona: "Yeah, real experience…" she said in a grimly sense of humor.

Taking a bite from his cake before readjusting his seat, it was now Moxxie turn to ask a question.

Moxxie: "So what did you do to...survive there?" He asked with genuine curiosity.

Scratching her chin, her playful and cocky smile backed down a little.

Loona: "Well, first off, try to find myself some good and proper cloth, which in fact did, by smuggling a lonely dude, you know a little bam behind the head and…" making a gesture of someone falling and sleeping, she continued to resume on her story, "Anyways, the first few weeks I just did that, smuggling a person here and there, try to collect some info about where I was…"

Millie: "An' sa, wher d'yall get yarself teleport too?"

Chuckling at Millie question, she looked at her, while resting back on her chair.

Loona: "Patience, I was about to come to that" quickly taking a bite from her cake, she clears out her throat before resuming where she stops, "Has I was saying, after a few weeks of research, I just discover that I got myself on a planet named Armageddon on one of the multiple hive cities…apparently I should have thanked my lucky star, because this hive wasn't too much attacked by Orks…"

Putting her can beer down, Octavia raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Octavia: "Orks?"

Loona: "We will come to that later" she responded to Octavia.

Giving a nod to her, she let Loona continue.

Loona: "Anyway, for a moment everything was peaches and rainbow, but after a few close calls with those soldiers, I have decided to lay low and take some…honest work…"

Stolas: "And what kind of 'honest' do you mean dear?"

Loona: "Welp, I have work in a gun factory for a few month, buuut I may have accidentally kill the chief factory…" Seeing the deadpan expression she received from everyone, she grumbled in annoyance before rubbing her eyes, "Okay it wasn't an accident" she whispered softly, "Moving on, after that, I just took a few delivery or recovery job for the under gang of the hive, it…wasn't the smartest thing I could have ever think off" she sadly said, finishing her bottle with one last swing, she quickly pull out another one from the crate, "*Sigh* At least, that what I thought, before doing one of the stupidest and greatest decision of my whole life…".

4 months later, Armageddon Hive city, sector 78906.

Sitting on a vapor pipe at the highest tower of the lower city, Loona with an watchful eye, let her long silver hair float at the gentle breeze of the night, while standing under the gaze of the multiple industrial light of Armageddon.

Having disregarded her cloak a weeks ago, she instead opted for a more blending kind of cloth, which was consisting of a olive-green dirty t-shirt, a black torn cargo pants accompanied with an brown belt full of pocket, a pair of rangers she as stole from a soldier yesterday, a pair of brown working glove, who have been darken by the time, and a big brownish leather handbag.

Stretching her back, and taking out from her belt a metallic bottle, she quickly raised her head to take a sip, but not before being abruptly distracted by the strangely clear sky, having being used to the cloudy and polluted sky of the planet, just seeing the star for a moment was a sight to be hold and appreciate, even if it was for a few second, smiling at the brilliant and colorful pattern of the cosmos, her smile immediately dropped to be replaced by a sad frown, "One day…One day", letting out a rough breath and rapidly taking a sip, she reconcentrate her attention at the horizon in front of her, scanning the area for a few more minute, she squinted her eyes at a particular group of men carrying out some carboard box from a building at a thousand meters from her, slowly stretching leg and discretely letting out a smug smirk appear from her face, she took out from her satchel an half mask respirator in intend to cover her face, rising up from her feet with a pensive look, Loona gave one last thought, "One day…but not today".

.Run boy run by Woodkin.

Before letting herself fall head first in the air, closing her eyes to appreciate the courant of wind fondle between her skin and clothe, she took out from her belt a makeshift knife to stabbed it into an imperial flag, in order to reorient herself and slow down her falls, sliding on the giant piece of tissues for a moment, she immediately took it out to fall and slide on a glass sloping roof, almost reaching the end, she crouched on her two feet before jumping on a nearby pipe to twirl and propel herself on another roof, seeing the ground coming at an rapid pace, she instinctively rolled to amortize and sprint between the maze of pipe and concrete.

Run boy, run!

This world is not made for you.

Run boy, run!

They're trying to catch you.

Run boy, run!

Running is a victory.

Run boy, run!

Beauty lies behind the hills.

Jumping and dodging each obstacle with an incredible show of agility, she slides down under another vapor pipe, to reach an working area with multiple minors and docker hanging around, letting out a tired grunt and swiping out the traces of sweat from her forehead, she continued to sprint, while avoiding the people around her.

Dodging each person at the last minute, Loona decided to find a path more reliable and with less people, stopping for a second to analyze her surrounding, she came to view a tall worker standing on a wooden platform who was being hanging by a crane, running at the direction of the platform, and jumping on it, the worker standing there was immediately startled by the view of Loona.

?: "Hey! What the frack kid! Get out of her- OUF" being used as a makeshift ladder, the worker couldn't finish his sentence, "Fracking kid! Get down here, so I can show you manner!" he shouted at Loona, who was right now climbing on the rope of the platform.

Reaching the top of the rope and climbing up the crane, Loona let out a few exhausted pants, before going back on her race with a more determined spirit, seeing another way at the end of the crane, she doubled her effort in order to give herself enough speed to jump across the void.

Jumping at the last moment, she grabbed the edge of the building with a loud thud and a yelp of pain before pulling herself up, continuing her way, she sprinted in an alley illuminate by the fiery fire of the multiple factories.

Run boy, run!

The sun will be guiding you.

Run boy, run!

They're dying to stop you.

Run boy, run!

This race is a prophecy.

Run boy, run!

Break out from society.

Using her right shoulder to cushion the impact on a wall, she took a right avenue to jump on a hanging cable and swing herself into a titan shoulder who was currently parading in the middle of an highway with a sea of confetti, has the multiple soldier, tanks, and mechanicus were marching in a well-disciplined synchro motion, the events and enjoyment of the people beneath was a great distraction for the local PDF, but wasn't a good enough excuse for Loona to take a break and admire the view, pulling out from her satchel an homemade grappling hook to pointed her at an nearby window, Loona founded herself to be in a struggling position to take a proper aiming, "Stop moving you oversized tin can" being surprised that her desire have been answered, the titan stopped for a moment to make an announcement.

Titan: "Admire the power of the emperor, citizen of Armageddon!" he boomed proudly while flexing one of his canons to the crow of people, making them scream in excitement, and giving to Loona enough time to shoot.

Being drag by the force of the rope , she caught the window barrier before tossing the tool aside due to its single use, climbing up the decorated wall to join the roof and continue her way on a bridge, the felling of enjoyment and the surge of adrenaline coursing through her vein, made Loona perception of time decelerate and move down in a slow motion.

Tomorrow is another day~

And you don't have to hide away~

You'll be a man, boy.

But for now, it's time to run, it's time to run

Sensing the world around her coming back to normal, she tiredly grabbed a pile of crate to support herself and take a little break, wiping the sweat going into her eyes, she took this little moment of respite to look at the time, "Yes, I got twenty minutes" taking one last breath of air before going back, she accidentally caused the pile to collapse on the side and fall on a group of soldiers who were sitting behind.

Looking at the pile falling on them with wide eyes, noise of shattering wood mixed with scream of terror and confusion could be heard has the group were violently enshroud by the enraging wave of box.

While Loona felt almost sorry for them, her attention was taken on a particular man who has been fast enough to not be buried with his friend.

?: "Shit that was close" wiping the sweat from his forehead, his eyes widen in anger at the sight of women in front of him, "Hey…hold a damn time, you're the one who stole my boots!".

Giving to him a nervous smile, another figure coming out the pile, with an painful expression on her face, also recognized Loona.

?: "Hey, you're the brat who stole my low-stick ration" said a women, with her now tattered uniform.

Slowly backing away with her hands up, she could see the now angry soldier coming out the pile like a bunch of zombies coming out their grave, each carrying a grudge against her.

?: "GRRR…Remember me! You broke my fracking jaw" said a muscular man, cracking his finger in preparation.

?: "Bet you don't recognize me, huh…you kick my ball during a control!" screamed a man in anger, is short height being the difference between the three other soldier.

Backing away from the men and women who were preparing themselves to put up a correction, Loona on the other side, looked left and right for an potential opportunity to avoid them and continue to her way without being restrain to take a turn.

Has sweat of nervousness started to form on her forehead at each retreating step, salvation came to her, in a form of a ship slowly flying under the bridge she was standing on, smiling viciously, she clears out her throats before speaking to the people in front of her.

Loona: "Hey guys, look, I'm sorry for…every little…thing I have done too you" she expressed while giving them a false bow, seeing the confusion on their face, she continued her little diversion, "But, you have to admit…" looking over the bridge, she softly smirked, "It was fucking hilarious in a certain way" she finishes with a smug smile, making the woman soldier charge first.

?: "You little-"

Throwing a fist in hope to punch Loona in the face, the guardswoman was surprisingly taken aback when she saw her dodge and go behind her back and take out her belt, grabbing her pants in reflex, Loona took this occasion to grab the woman and throw her to the rest of the group, seeing the two soldiers catch their friend, she immediately tried to run away, only to suddenly find someone grab her by the edge of the shirt.

?: "I got you! *BLARG*" receiving a punch at his jaw, and making him bite is own tongue, the man whined for a few second before, "*CRUNCH" falling on the ground with his hands between his crotch, "Not again…Emperor saves me…" he cried with a high-pitched voice.

Having enough of this, Loona jumped over the bridge and use the belt she has 'borrow', on a cable and slide down to the cargo ship she saw earlier, releasing her grip and putting the belt inside her satchel while still being in midair, she rolled on the side with a loud cry of pain before quickly getting herself up and run on the platform ship, to try and join a ladder leading to another hallways.

Run boy, run!

This ride is a journey to~

Run boy, run!

The secret inside of you.

Run boy, run!

This race is a prophecy

And disappear in the threes

Seeing that she wasn't going to make it, she decided to jump on her nearby glass dome and slide down on his roof…what she didn't expected however, was for the glass to be…not has robust that she would have thought.

Falling inside a room filled with trees and exotic plants, she unconsciously landed on a cake with two noble women who were having a tea party.

?: "By the emperor!" screamed the eldest one, dressed in a decorated puffy yellow dress.

Rubbing the back of her neck to soothe the pain, Loona dusted the rest of crushed cake off her, before looking at the face of a young and elegant woman, clad in the most exotic jewelry, dress, and makeup of all the imperium, Loona couldn't but feel a little jealous at the women green emerald eyes and long curly ginger hair, who was giving her more values that she could already have, not wanting to let the awkwardness stay more, the disguised hellhound gave her a little smug wink, before jumping on a nearby window and land into a pile of soft mattress, if Loona have stayed I little bit more longer, she could have saw the red blushed cheek of the noble slightly appearing.

?: "Ho…my~" she said while trying to cover her shy smirk with an fan.

Coming back to Loona who was trying to avoid the guard of the mansion she has just accidently enter, she finally took a breath of relief after passing the barrier and hide behind a metallic wall, taking off her respirator to spit on the ground, she looked at the time again, only to frown and growled in anger, "Fuck! Now I got five minutes late" grumbling tiredly, she putted her mask back before pushing her way into a market place.

Tomorrow is another day~

And you don't have to hide away~

You'll be a man boy.

But for now, it's time to run, it's time to run.

Shoving between the people while jumping over the table and stall of the numerous merchants.

She violently pushed back the last person blocking her way, before kicking down the door of a public workshop, in order to join the other side of the building.

Tomorrow is another day~

And you don't have to hide away~

You'll be a man boy.

But for now, it's time to run, it's time to run.

Smashing the exit door too smithereens, and stopping at the edge of the street, Loona smiled underneath her mask at the view of the place she has initially planned to go.

Looking down and seeing the worker still charging some box inside a truck, she immediately jumps and run on an electronic cable, in a fit of agility.

Minutes have passed since Loona have finally join the warehouse and found a way to sneak inside the depot, while she was hiding underneath a giant shelf full of metallic ammo crates old wooden box, she waited patiently for the worker to finish their journey and finally starting to get herself to work, has the view of the last worker getting out of the building and closing the door behind, she crawl out of her hiding spot cautiously look for any bad surprise, the way safe and clear from any type of danger, she took out from her satchel a kit of lockpicking tool to immediately work on the multiple crate around the place before the end of the worker's breaks, "Come on girl, the 15 minutes are now on" carefully pocking and turning her tool between the mechanical maze of the lock, she finally heard a light click trigger between the mechanism, making the padlock fall on the ground and leaving the loot of the box at her mercy, carefully opening too look inside, Loona almost exploded in joy at the view of the numerous pack of grox meat can and MRE soldier ration perfectly stocked inside, not wanting to waste time, she packed has much food that her satchel would allowed, before moving on the other crate, repeating the same process for a nearly good thirteen minutes, she has at long accumulated a high number of tool, food, and event exotic silk and drink to be sales or exchange for later in the underground black-market, wiping the sweat flowing at the side of her neck, she almost felt her heart stop by the sound of the door being open, followed with the echoing footstep coming to her way, "Fuck, fuck, fuck, they weren't supposed to work for another two minute!" looking at her watch, she gasped silently at the sight of the poorly adjusted needles.

Loona: "Dammit Loona!"

Closing the crate behind her and climbing the shelf to join the open roof window, she gave one last look behind before exiting the building and join the street below, running down on the leaning roof and jumping without hesitation, she-

Loona: "HO FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Didn't properly calculated or even took a notice at the distance separating her and the ground, falling freely with little time to act, she transformed herself into her hellhound form in order to softening her landing, "This is going hurt" falling on her feet while creating a few cracks on the ground, Loona felt a painful shiver run all the way to her paw and slowly going up to her tight.

Loona: "Ouch, ouch, ouch…*sigh* this day is a freaking joke" stretching her leg and getting up to march around a corner, she came face to face with a group of children who were passing by.

?: "…"

?: "…"

?: "…"

Loona: "…Fuck"

Screaming and crying in fear while running at the opposite direction, Loona quickly retransformed herself into her human form, before running in the deepest part of the underground hive, "Now this day is a freaking joke".

Putting a spool of silk thread with another one of copper on a dirty old wooded counter, an obese piggish bald man with a dirty tank top and a red blazing robotic eye, carefully analyzed the merchandise, while humming in interest.

?: "Three" he said with a rough voice.

Loona: "Three!? Are you serious!? Do you know how much trouble did I just get myself into, just to have those things!" Loona screamed in outrage, while smacking her fist in anger.

?: "Three, that all I can give you Loopie" pulling from her counter a cigar and lighting him up with a nearby candle, the man took out a long drag from it before puffing out a large cloud of smoke at the face of Loona.

Loona: "Don't fucking call me that, and common Grake, like, how many courier bring you that type of thing"

Grake: "Its not about your merchandise girl" taking another drag and letting the smoke coming out of his nostril, he continued with an annoyed frown, "Its literally all I have left in my stock…unless you want to go home empty handed"

Looking at Grake with an deadpan expression, Loona with disdain, relented and accepted the deal.

Loona: "Fucking kill me already" she whispered under her breath while rubbing the side of her forehead, "Deal".

Taking the good from Loona possession and smacking three golden coins on the counter, Loona forcefully snatched them from his grasp before putting into her satchel.

Grake: "Pleasure doing business with you" he gleefully smiled at her, showing his dirty teeth who have been darkened by his smoking habits.

Responding the gesture with a sarcastic smile, Loona flips off her two-middle finger before turning around and going back 'home'.

Looking down to avoid any eyes contact with the other smuggler or gang member of the place, she was abruptly stopped by a group of punk, all dressed and equipped with some kind of made-up armor and pipe pistol shotgun.

?: "Well, well, well…look at what we have here, the silver runner" exclaimed a young man dress in some sort of noble tattered suits.

Loona: "Hook, what a surprise, I thought you were dead or something" she responded jokingly.

Hook: "Ho, I am, on the paper at least…but since that I'm still 'alive', you know the drill" taking out a knife, he pointed it at Loona with a serious expression, "Give the goods and-"

Loona: "We will be cool, blablabla, I know I know" taking out two of the golden coin she has received earlier, she tosses it at Hook who gratefully appreciated.

Hook: "Much oblige" giving the coin at one of his men, he loudly whistles out a signal of retreat for his goon before retreating in the darkness, making the two first step with a loud echo, Hook gave one last look at Loona, "By the way, the price has augmented, you got to pay the triple".

Disappearing in a dark alley to finally leave Loona alone, she scoffed in annoyance before continuing on her path, "Triple the price…fucking asshole, one day I will have your head" marching the long dirty stair of her district, she let her hand slowly trace the edge of the wall to feel the rough concrete structure tingle on her finger tip, taking the last step before turning left, Loona sighted with delight at the view of a red metallic door, "home sweet home" taking from her belt a dirty black key, she unlocked the door before pushing it with her shoulder, entering inside while closing the door and locking it again, she took off her shoes to toss them beside the door.

Loona: "Honey, I'm home" she joked to herself.

Retaking her hellhound appearance and letting herself fall on a dirty couch, she rubbed her eyes in tiredness before looking lifelessly at the hole in the roof, who was giving her a clear view at the now covered sky.

Loona: "One day, one day I will see you all" clenching her fist and grunting in annoyance, she softly punched the side of the couch, "Even you fatty! I knew you were lying on your diet, fucking opossum!"

Having finish her little break and not wanting to think about Moxxie anymore, she got herself up from her couch in order to grab a spoon and one the can of grox meat she has retrieved today, siting back on the couch and opening her can with her thumbs, she took out a long sniff before letting out a satisfied hum.

Loona: "Still smell like shit…welp bonne appetite"

Taking a big scoop of the meat and eating it in one bite, she mentally tried to ignore the strong taste of salt running inside her palette, but relented after a few second, by scoffing a little.

Taking the bottle from her belt and quenching her thirst with it, she momentarily set the can beside her in order to take out under the couch, a big iron box with an keypad on it, taping the code to open it and reveal inside a variety of values and money, she putted the last golden coin she got inside before quickly putting the box back into its place

Loona: "I'm almost there, a few things and I will finally be able to leave this shit hole and find another way"

Drinking another gulp of water and finishing her meal with haste, she headed herself into the next room to find a mattress with an torn up and dirty blanket, "Hello bed" stretching her sore muscle while letting out a few pops and crack all over her body, she jumped on the mattress before turning off the light and slowly close her eyes.

She could feel it, their grasp, their scent, their presence, slowly lurking in the dark to hunt her, to find out what she is.

An daemon? An slave? A new…toy to be play with.

She didn't know who they are, or what there were, but she didn't want to find out, or to be found, they were the same, yet different.

Loona: "Where is this fucking light when you need him!?"

Her screame echoing into the void, was resonating inside her mind and body like the bell of a church, thinking was dangerous, speaking was dangerous, moving, breathing, felling, they were no safe place, nothing, just them.

Blindly continuing her way between the maze of smoke and galactic powder, Loona felt a cold chill trace down the back of her neck, making her fur stand in fear "What the!?-" looking behind her to see a few meters away a shadow with a single red-blooded eye, Loona felt her body freeze at the murderous glare of the creature.

Disappearing in a blink of an eyes and reappearing in front of Loona, the creature violently grabbed her shoulder before lifting her at his mouth level in order to rip out her head, being unable to move or scream, she looked at the creature distorted mouth with terror ,"It's a dream, it's a dream, it's a dream, it's a dream, it's a dream, it's a dream, IT'S A FUCKING DREAM! JUST WAKE UP" closing her eyes at the inevitable, she suddenly heard the monster scream out in pain before suddenly release her, falling on the ground while taking out some air, Loona stood up on her feet, before raising her head and come to face to face with a child who was looking at her with a disappointed expression.

?: "YOU ARE NOT READY"

Staring at him with confusion, Loona was suddenly banished from the maze to leave the children alone.

Waking up with a loud gasp while heavily sweating all over her body, Loona immediately got herself up from her bed, before frantically scramble between the furniture of the house and lead her trembling body to the sofa, pulling out between the pillow an hidden bottle of alcohol, she quickly pull out the cap before drowning the brewage in one swing, felling her breath and pulse slowly coming back at an normal pace, Loona sited on the couch while continuing to slightly shiver.

Loona: "What are you?..." she asked to herself, probing the same question that had linger her mind since she has appeared in this universe, "What do you want from me?...".

Leaving out a tired sigh before passing a hand into her hair, she stopped her action mid-sentence at the feeling of a small breeze on her fur, and the sight of her front door open.

Loona: "Hold on…wha-*GURCKL*"

Dropping her bottle in order to protect and try to free herself from whoever was strangling her from behind, she heard two more-foot step come to her side.

?: "We got it!" screamed a man in victory

Digging her claw into the strangler arm in an attempt to break his grip, Loona felt on the contrary, his grasp tightening.

?: "FRACK! Help me dammit, she's freaking strong!"

Panicking a little, one of the two men standing in front, rapidly came to assist his friend by punching Loona in the stomach and face multiple time, making her loses her strength slowly.

?: "Just fracking sleep already, you filthy mutant!"

While her vision slowly darkened and her breathing decelerate to the tinge of death, she felt her own eyes and strength abandoning her body gradually, "…dying…breathe…dad" seeing the flash memories of her life and family past before her eyes, she sadly let herself accept the fate she was giv-, "No…" using her leg in order to push the first assailant away, she then elbowed the second one in the guts, forcing him to release her.

?: "You damn-"

High kicking the third goon in the head and redeeming him unconscious, she felt herself being suddenly tackle by the one she has pushed earlier, struggling on the wall while she was being punched in the guts again, she managed to find enough strength to reorient the man and reverse the situation by pining him down on the wall and launch an violent uppercut, tearing off the man jaw and letting him drown in its own blood.

Wiping out the blood on her face and angrily turning around to look at the one who was strangling her earlier, she suddenly jumped on the man with a primal hellhound growl before-.

?: "No wai- *BLUERG* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH-"

Digging her claw into is abdomen and rip out his intestine with her fangs, spitting out the surplus of blood and guts from her jaw, she ended the man life by showing is guts into his mouth before snapping his neck.

?: "Ouch…what happen?" said the last survivor of the group, while soothing is head from an awful headache, he confusedly looked at his right to see the bloody remain of his friend, spill out on the floor with an angered Loona standing in the middle of this bloodbath, "You kill them…GRRR".

Turning around to spite a lump of blood from her mouth, she concentrates her attention on the last person standing in front of her.

Loona: "Yeah, and your next you chicken cocksucker" putting her guard up, she waited for the man to get himself up and attack.

Knowing that he couldn't win the fight against this thing, he pulls out from his back a homemade grenade before unpins.

?: "Frack you, filthy mutant" he said with a wide smile.

Widening her eyes in suprise, Loona quickly dives out behind the wall of her bedroom before covering her ears and head from the blast of the explosion.

*BOOM*

Having successfully avoid the powerful detonation and shrapnel of the grenade, Loona carefully scrawls out of her spot to found that her living room was now, an immense smoking hole with plash of blood and guts repainting the wall.

Loona: "*Sigh* Asshole" Getting up and dusting herself, she scratched her head while looking dumfounded at the magnitude of the damage, "What a shame, I was starting to like this place…Ho well, at least my economies are safe…" Sniffing with disinterest while looking around for any remaining value, her eyes suddenly widen in terror at the thought of her stash "No…nononononononononononononononono, FUCKING NO!"

Jumping into the crater and digging into the ash with tear in her eyes, Loona finally found the box she looking for…or what was left of it, twisted and holed by the grenade, the once precious loot who was supposed to lead her into a better planet, was now reducing at the state of smoking ash and molten metal.

Dropping the box and falling on her knees, Loona for the first time since she has been teleported into this crazy world, loosed hoped for leaving this place and found a way out to her home.

Loona: "I can't *sob*…I can't do this *sob* Fuck…just send me a fucking sign…anyone"

Has fate responded to her pleading, a poster who has been carry by the wind, directly crashed in her face.

Taking the poster off her face, she was about to tear off to piece but relented at the last second after she saw the picture on it, showing a soldier mounting a flag on a pile of corpse, what really caught the attention of Loona was the message market underneath, "Glory and honor, we will fight and win in the emperor name, join the astra militarum today" Scoffing at the propaganda logo, she nonetheless gave a thought of the idea to join this astra militarum, "I will finally be able to leave this shit hole after all…but, obeying order…Fuck it, it's not like I have other choice" folding the poster and putting in her pocket, Loona, with a new resigned determination and marched in the direction of the star.

Bam, chapter 4 is done, Wow! I don't know why, but this one was much more harder than the other, jeez i really need some sleep.

For the warhammer side, i know most of the lore from it, but i still don't know a 100% of the detail of each faction (like food and money).

For last, i have other project for some future crossover, but i got little time, so wich one would you like for me to write about first (Don't worry i will continue this storie).

-The last of us x Helluva boss

-Elden x helluva boss

-My hero academia x punisher

-Red dead redemption 2 x Hazbin hotel

And that's it, now if you excuse, i got some serious hours of sleep in front of me and a future cripling depression because of 'apologies tour', on this note, have a nice day/nigth, don't forget to leave a critics but don't flame up, see ya. (Don't mentionne the grammatical error, i'm very tired)
