The episode opens on Octavia and Ronnie Anne playing with Minnie. The baby Imp giggles. The twins and Lisa are relaxing on the couch, when Lola's phone goes off. Lola then pulls out the Grimoire and opens a portal, as Lincoln steps into the office, returning from a solo mission with a few blood stains on his vest and shirt.
Minnie: *notices him* Winky!
She walks over to Lincoln, who smiles and picks her up.
Lincoln: Hey, Min. *tickles Minnie's cheek*
Minnie: *giggles* Winky!
Lisa: Successful mission?
Lincoln: Oh yeah. Fucker put up one hell of a fight though. *sets Minnie on the couch, seeing the blood on his shirt and vest* Shit, better wash these.
He takes his shirt and vest off. Octavia and Ronnie Anne both go beet red at seeing Lincoln shirtless.
Lola: *smirks* Jeez, get a room, you three.
The throuple, blushing, all flip Lola off. Lola laughs as she, Lana and Lisa then leave the room. Ronnie Anne's phone then goes off as she gets a call from her mother.
Ronnie Anne: *answers the phone* Hello?
Maria: *on the phone* Hey, Ronnie! Did you get the invite from Carlota?
Ronnie Anne: Invite? For what?
Maria: *on the phone* Carlota said she had some important news and wanted us to come over to dinner.
Ronnie Anne: *eyes light up* Is Grandma Rosa cooking?
Maria: *on the phone* When is she not?
Ronnie Anne: I'll be there! *hangs up*
Lincoln: Be where?
Ronnie Anne: *faces them* Well, my cousin just invited me to dinner tonight, and she had some news.
Octavia: Huh. Y'know, we never met your family aside from your mother and brother.
Lincoln: Yeah. Ronnie's met my family and your family, but we haven't met her extended family yet.
Ronnie Anne: So, you two wanna come?
Lincoln and Octavia: *smile* Sure.
They both give Ronnie Anne a kiss on the cheek, making her tail wag.
Ronnie Anne: *smiles* What did I do to earn partners like you?
Octavia: *joking* You accidentally confessed while drunk?
Ronnie Anne: *pouts as she elbows Octavia's arm as Octavia laughs* Ha-ha, Via.
Lincoln: *snickers* It was cute, Ronnie. *pulls Octavia and Ronnie Anne to him* Besides, look where it got us.
Octavia: *smiles* He's right.
Ronnie Anne: *blushing, then smiles* True.
Ronnie Anne kisses Octavia on the cheek, then kisses Lincoln on the cheek. A camera flash goes as the three look and see Lola peeking into the room with her phone out. She had snapped a picture of the throuple.
Lola: *smirking* This goin' on my Sinstagram. *zips away*
Ronnie Anne: *growling as her Zodiac aura flares* GOD DAMNIT, LOLA!
Fade to later in the day, in the Gluttony Ring. Lincoln's car pulls up to a large house. It wasn't as big as Beelzebub's house, but still relatively big.
Ronnie Anne: This is it. *Lincoln turns off the car* My familia's place.
The three of them step out of the car and approach the front door.
Ronnie Anne: *faces her partners* I should've warned you guys sooner, but… my extended family can be rather… loco. *does the crazy gesture*
Lincoln: How crazy? Like just getting on each other's nerves crazy or-
Octavia: Blitzo crazy?
Ronnie Anne: On a good day? It's lucky to be in the middle.
She turns back to the door and knocks. A moment later, the door opens and reveals Maria Santiago.
Maria: *smiles* Ronalda, sweetie! *hugs Ronnie Anne*
Ronnie Anne: *hugs back and smiles* Hey, Mom.
Lincoln & Octavia: *smile and wave* Hey, Mrs. Santiago./Hello.
Maria: *breaks up the hug and faces them* Lincoln, Octavia, it's good to see you both. *claps her hands together* I'm so glad Ronalda could bring you along on our family visit.
Lincoln: Well, we're happy to come along.
Octavia: *Maria brings them inside and closes the door behind them* We figured it's time we met our girlfriend's family, since she's already met ours.
Ronnie Anne: *scratches the back of her head* Heh... yeah, that's fair. So Mom, is everyone here?
Maria: Everyone except Bobby, Lori and Carlota. We don't know when Bobby and Lori are going to arrive, but Carlota said she should be here in a half hour.
There was the loud sound of a shotgun being fired.
Lincoln: *he and Octavia are startled by the sound* The hell was that?!
Maria: *frowns with a sigh* Mamá must've found another Shadow Cat in the house.
A Hellhound wearing a blue and white dress storms into the hall with one hand holding a smoking shotgun, and the other holding the corpse of a demonic cat.
Hellhound: *grumbles in Spanish* No sé por qué a estos gatos les gusta tanto nuestra casa. ¡Esto es jodidamente ridículo! (Translation: I don't know why these cats like our house so much. This is fucking ridiculous!) *sees the group at the entry doors and perks up* Ah, Ronalda, you made it! ¡Ven aquí! (Translation: Come here!) *walks up and scoops Ronnie Anne into a big hug*
Ronnie Anne: *chuckles and hugs back* Hey, Abuela! ¿Cómo estás? (Translation: How are you?)
Octavia: I'm guessing this is her grandmother?
Ronnie Anne: *splits the hug* Sure is. Lincoln, Octavia, this is my Abuela, Rosa. *looks at her grandmother* Abuela, estos son mis socios románticos, Lincoln y Octavia. (Translation: Grandma, these are my romantic partners, Lincoln and Octavia.)
Rosa: *gives them both a warm smile and approaches them* Very nice to meet you both. *shakes their hands* Ronalda has told us a lot about you two.
Lincoln: *smiles* It's nice to meet you too, Rose. *glances at the Shadow Cat corpse* So that was a... Shadow Cat, you called it?
Rosa: *nods* Si. (Translation: Yes.) Hordes of them always infest the alleys around town.
Octavia: Are they dangerous?
Rosa: By themselves, no. But as a hoard... *snarls* Son monstruos. (Translation: They are monsters.) *shakes her head* But enough about that. Come! *starts pushing the three to the living* Everyone is waiting.
Cut to the living room as Rosa ushers the trio in while Maria follows from behind.
Octavia: Er, I think we- *a torn up diaper goes splat on the wall next to her* Huh?!
Lincoln: *surprised* Was that a- *looks at the scene ahead and looks stunned* Whoa.
The scene, to put it frankly, was quite chaotic. One hellhound was a struggling to pose for another hellhound's painting, one was running away with a tamale as a demonic dog chases him, two hellhounds, one older and one baby, were playing pirates on the couch, and another hellhound was fighting against a demonic parrot for money in a tug-of-war fashion.
Ronnie Anne: *crosses her arms* What did I tell ya? My familia is loco. *does the crazy gesture*
Rosa: Give me a moment.
Rosa loudly whistles, bringing the chaos to a stand-still as everyone then notices them enter the room.
Rosa: If I now have todas (translation: everyone's) attention, *smiles* Our estimada (translation: dear) Ronalda's here!
Casagrandes: *all smile, but one smirks* Ronalda!/Ronnie!/Wonnie!
Before Ronnie Anne could react, she was suddenly swept into a hug by the big family.
Ronnie Anne: Oof! *chuckles* Vale, vale, ¡yo también te extrañé! (Translation: Okay, okay, I missed you too!)
Maria and Rosa smile while Lincoln and Octavia were still a little stunned from the scene earlier.
Octavia: *whispers to Lincoln* Ronnie Anne wasn't kidding about her crazy family.
Lincoln: *whispers back* Mine feels tame compared to this.
Octavia: *whispers* Even with Blitzo?
Lincoln: *whispers back* Especially with Blitzo.
When the hug splits, Ronnie Anne was suddenly tackled by the demonic dog, which was excitedly licking her face.
Ronnie Anne: *laughing* H-Hey, Lalo! Easy, boy! ¡Detener! ¡Detener! (Translation: Stop! Stop!) *sits up and scratches Lalo's chin* I missed you too, buddy!
Demonic Parrot: *lands on Lalo's back, in a mockingly sad tone* What about me?
Ronnie Anne: *rolls her eyes* I miss everyone here, Sergio.
Sergio: *still has the sad-mock look before he drops it for a smile* Aw, fuck it. I missed you too, Ronnie.
Sergio holds out his wing, making Ronnie Anne sigh. But she smiles and gives Sergio a fist/wing-bump. Ronnie Anne then stands up, dusting Lalo's fur off of her shirt. Lalo then notices the two new guests, Lincoln and Octavia, and approaches them, curiously circling them as he sniffs them.
Lincoln: Seems your dog's really curious about us. *scratches behind Lalo's ear, much to the demon dog's enjoyment*
Maria: That's just how Lalo is. He's always curious about new people.
Female Hellhound: Oh! You brought invitadas with you, Ronalda?
Elderly Male Hellhound: *smiles* Bueno, no te quedes ahí parada, Ronalda! (Translation: Well, don't just stand there, Ronalda!) Introduce them!
2nd Youngest Male Hellhound: *hands in his hoodie pockets* Yeah, prima.
Ronnie Anne: *chuckles* Okay, okay. *puts her hands around Lincoln and Octavia* Todos, estos son mis socios románticos, Lincoln y Octavia. (Translation: Everyone, these are my romantic partners, Lincoln and Octavia.)
Octavia: *waves and smiles* Hello.
Lincoln: *waves* Nice to meet you all.
Casagrandes: Hola!/Nice to meet you!/Hi!
Ronnie Anne: Alright, to start things off: *walks up to the male elderly hellhound* This is my Abuelo, Hector.
Hector: *steps up to Lincoln and Octavia with a bright smile* Any friend or lover of Ronalda is a friend of mine. Encantado de conocerte a los dos! (Translation: Great to meet you both!) *gives the two a genuine hug*
Octavia: *chuckles* Very nice to meet you too, sir.
Lincoln: *chuckles* Yeah, it is. *Hector sets them both down*
Ronnie Anne: Abuelo runs the family bodega that's right next door.
Hector: *nods* Been working there since I was very young. Even Beelzebub herself comes by.
Lincoln: *surprised* Really?! That's impressive, sir!
Ronnie Anne: *steps behind the two adult Hellhounds* Here's my tio Carlos y tia Frida.
Frida: *shakes Octavia's hand eagerly* ¡Oh, qué lindo conocer al novio y la novia de Ronalda! (Translation: Oh, how nice to meet Ronalda's boyfriend and girlfriend!)
Carlos: *shakes Lincoln's hand* How happy is she with you two?
Lincoln: *shrugs* We do our very best, sir.
Ronnie Anne: Tio Carlos works as a professor at the college here in Gluttony, while Tia Frida aspires to be a photographer and painter.
Octavia: I could tell the latter was busy with a painting when we came in.
Carlos: *rolls his eyes* Frida always uses us as muses, so it's nothing new, en realidad. *Frida shoots him a look, to which he shrugs a little nervously*
Ronnie Anne: *goes over to the younger Hellhounds* Here's 3 of my primos, Carlos Jr. or "CJ", Carlino, *picks up the baby hellhound* and my baby cousin, Carlitos.
CJ: *giddy* Hello!
Carlino: *puts his hands behind his head* Yo.
Carlitos: *coos* 'Oonie. *boops Ronnie Anne's nose with his finger*
Ronnie Anne: *chuckles* Missed you too, little buddy.
Lincoln: Nice to meet you, guys.
Octavia: *CJ suddenly hugs her and Lincoln* Oof! *chuckles* CJ's a hugger, I see.
Ronnie Anne: *chuckles* Yeah, he likes making new friends. Also, FYI, he's mentally a bit younger than he looks.
Carlino squints at Lincoln and Octavia.
Carlino: You're the lovers Ronnie's dating? *scoffs* Don't look like much.
Lincoln: *leers over Carlino as Octavia frowns* Is that what you REALLY think, little bastard?
Ronnie Anne: *uses her tail to shove Carlino back, frowning* Fuck off, Carl. *Carlino rolls his eyes as Ronnie Anne rubs a finger on her temple* Don't mind Carl. He's a guy with a big mouth and a big-ass troublemaking streak. Not as much as Blitzo, but still.
Octavia: Wouldn't surprise me if they're related in some twisted way.
Ronnie Anne: Anyway... *holds Carlitos up to them* Carlitos is still super young, but he's surprisingly smart for his age.
Lincoln: How smart are we talking?
Ronnie Anne: Smart enough to mimic other people's movements and know the concept of keeping a secret.
Lincoln: *impressed* Pretty impressive, little guy. *ruffles Carlitos' hair*
Carlitos: *giggles and coos* Ank yu!
Ronnie Anne: And these are their pets, *pats Lalo's head* Lalo.
Lincoln and Octavia kneel down and pet Lalo on the head, and he gives them friendly licks on the cheeks.
Octavia: *giggles* He's cute.
Ronnie Anne: *points at Sergio* And Sergio, the OTHER troublemaker.
Sergio: *scoffs* As if.
Ronnie Anne: *raises at eyebrow* Yeah? Tell that to the electric bills.
Rosa: *annoyed, rants in Spanish* ¡Dira en otro lugar, pájaro loco! (Translation: Rave somewhere else, you crazy bird!) *Sergio grumbles*
Lincoln: *chuckles* It's very nice to meet you all.
Suddenly, the front door opens as Bobby Santiago and Lori Evans-Santiago walk in, which everyone notices.
Bobby: *smiles* Hola, everyone!
Lori: *smiles* Hey, guys!
Casagrandes: Bobby! Lori!
The family goes over and greets the two, bringing them to the living room.
Maria: *smiles* Bobby! You and Lori got called too?
Lori: Yeah, Carlota told us the news was literally so important, so we figured we'd come see what it was. *notices Lincoln* Oh! Hey, Lincoln!
Lincoln: Hey, Lori. *they share a fist bump*
Ronnie Anne: So... where is she?
Rosa: Carlota should be back, right...
?: *off-screen, excited* NINI! ¡ESTÁS AQUÍ! (Translation: YOU'RE HERE!)
Ronnie Anne was suddenly swamped up into a big hug by a female Hellhound wearing an elegant white and teal dress.
Rosa: *smiles* ...Ahora. (Translation: Now.)
Ronnie Anne: *a bit strained* Eeeeyup... definitely shoulda saw this coming...!
The female Hellhound, Carlota, sets Ronnie Anne down, allowing the girl to catch her breath.
Carlota: *squeals* Ronnie Anne, I missed you so much!
Ronnie Anne: *gains her breath and smiles* Yo también te extrañé, prima. (Translation: I missed you too, cousin.)
Octavia: So, this is Carlota?
Ronnie Anne: *she and Carlota turn to look at her and Lincoln* Yep. *looks at her older cousin* Carlota, this is my boyfriend and girlfriend, Lincoln and Octavia.
Carlota: *shakes Lincoln and Octavia's hands, which bobs them a bit* Nice to meet you two pájaros del amor! (Translation: Lovebirds.)
Lincoln: *his fur shakes from the bobbing* Huh. That's some strength right there.
Carlota: *giggles a little sheepishly* Oh, lo siento. I'm the strongest of the sibling bunch.
Octavia: *chuckles* We can tell.
Ronnie Anne: So prima, what's the big news you had to share? Or is that not gonna be shared until dinner?
Carlota: Not spoiling until dinner, Nini. *playfully taps Ronnie Anne's nose as Ronnie Anne playfully rolls her eyes* You know this. *looks around and notices the lack of someone, then calls out to the door* Dom, sweetie! Get in here, you slowpoke!
Seconds later, a demon man walks in. He has pale white skin with noticeable black veins across his body, golden brown hair with white bone-like horns sticking out of his forehead, prosthetic hands and feet, robotic golden eyes, and a black exoskeleton scorpion tail with bonelike plating along it and leading up to a glowing golden stinger. He wore a golden jacket and dark gray jeans.
Carlota: Guys, you remember Dominic, right?
Dominic: *waves* Hey, everyone.
Casagrandes: Dominic!/Hola, Dom!/How are you? *they gather around Dominic*
Lincoln: *to Ronnie Anne* Who's that?
Ronnie Anne: *points at Dominic* That's Dominic Strider, Carlota's boyfriend. I only met him a few times, so I don't know him very well.
Dominic: *sees Ronnie Anne and approaches her* Ronnie Anne, hey.
Ronnie Anne: Hey, Dom. *shakes his hand* Good to see you.
Dominic: Same to you. *notices Lincoln and Octavia* Friends of yours?
Ronnie Anne: More than that. These are my romantic partners, Lincoln and Octavia.
Lincoln: *he and Octavia shake Dominic's hands* Nice to meet you.
Dominic: Pleasure's all mine.
Lincoln then noticed something familiar about Dominic's limbs.
Lincoln: Hey, Dominic. Your hands look... robotic, aren't they?
Dominic: *blinks for a moment* ...You could tell that easily?
Lincoln: Well, yeah. A friend of mine has robotic limbs too. It was easy to recognize.
Dominic: *chuckles* Heh, that's fair enough.
Carlota: *a bit concerned, she puts a hand on Dominic's shoulder* Sweetie, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.
Dominic: *gently grabs Carlota's hand* It's fine, mi amor. *kisses the back of her hand* I don't mind.
Octavia looks closely at Carlota's hand that Dominic's holding and notices something shiny on her finger, and her eyes slightly widen to see an engagement ring.
Octavia: *in her head* Ohhh, that's what the surprise is. I won't say anything out of respect.
Lincoln: So, Dom. What happened to your hands? I mean, if you wanna talk about it.
Dominic: *frowns* Human bastards took them.
Lincoln: *he and Octavia look surprised* Humans?
Dominic: Yep. Not just my hands, but my feet and eyes too. *crosses his arms* I'm sure you two noticed that I'm a Grimm, right?
Octavia: Your Death Stalker tail was a clear giveaway.
Lincoln and Octavia: *realization hits* Ohhhhh.
Ronnie Anne: Been wanting to ask... how'd you survive all that?
Lincoln: Yeah. Grimm always get hacked down... bad. *realizes what he said* No offense.
Dominic: None taken. *sighs* Anyway, I'm made of two breeds of Grimm. One of them is called a Thunderwing, and they have an amazing healing factor.
Octavia: So that kept you from dying?
Dominic: Yeah, but it wasn't able to grow my hands, feet and eyes back. Only so much the healing factor can do.
Lincoln: Well, that sucks, dude.
Dominic: *shrugs* Eh, I'm just glad I'm still kicking.
Carlota: So am I. *wraps her arms around Dominic's neck* Otherwise I wouldn't have the sweetest man in Hell.
She kisses Dominic's cheek as he blushes a shade of black, slightly smiling.
Dominic: Love you too, Carlota.
Octavia: *giggles* You two are a perfect fit.
Carlota: There's still a bit of time before dinner. Anyone wanna see some 'Nightmare Boat'? There's a new special today!
Dominic: *crosses his arms* Corey better wear a flashier look for the ladies.
Ronnie Anne: Thanks, but no thanks. I wanna take Lincoln and Octavia somewhere. *calls out* Abuela! Mama! I'm taking my lovers to the hangout spot!
Rosa & Maria: *off-screen* ¡Divertirse! (Translation: Have fun!)
Ronnie Anne then enters another room in the house, rummages through it, before coming out with a purple skateboard and helmet.
Ronnie Anne: *to Lincoln and Octavia* Come on, I got some friends I want you two to meet.
Lincoln and Octavia: Alright./Okay.
Cut to the middle of town as Ronnie Anne leads Lincoln and Octavia down the street.
Octavia: Where are we going, Ronnie Anne?
Ronnie Anne: The town's skate park. My buds and I usually hang out there.
They soon arrive at the skatepark, where a few groups of demons were skateboarding, roller-skating, and other tricks. One group consisted of an Imp teenage girl wearing a dark blue long sleeve shirt and black pants, a Succubus-Imp hybrid girl wearing a torn light blue hoodie and gray jeans, a brown Shark Demon boy wearing a red hoodie and a black and white checkered hat, a light brown Baphomet with an afro and a glowing blue candle flame, and Cambion (human-Succubus hybrid) boy with orange hair and glasses.
Ronnie Anne: *grins* There they are.
Lincoln: Those are your friends, huh?
Ronnie Anne: Yep. *calls out* Hey, guys!
The skating group halted their skating at the sound of Ronnie Anne. They turn to see her waving at them.
Group: *all smile* Ronnie!/Hey, dude!/You're here! *The Cambion suddenly plops to the ground after failing to time his stop right*
Imp: *winces* Ooh... you okay, Laird? *helps him to his feet*
Laird: *fixes his glasses* I-I'm fine…
The group then makes their way to Ronnie Anne, as she and her partners meet them halfway. The imp girl damn near tackles Ronnie Anne into a hug.
Ronnie Anne: Oof! *chuckles* Sid, hey!
Sid: *smiling* Where you been, bitch?! Skate park ain't been the same without ya!
Ronnie Anne: *chuckles* Sorry, got busy with a new job and other stuff.
Succubus-Imp Hybrid: So we heard from your texts, girl!
Laird: What's it called again...?
Ronnie Anne: I.M.P.. It's a good gig for me, aside from the fact that I gotta deal with an annoying boss.
Shark Demon: You cool with that, yo?
Ronnie Anne: *shrugs* Eh, the paycheck rolls out just fine.
Baphomet: At least you makin' the big bucks.
Sid: *sees Lincoln and Octavia* New friends of yours?
Ronnie Anne: More than that, girl. *puts her arms around Lincoln and Octavia* These are my romantic partners, Lincoln and Octavia.
Lincoln: *he and Octavia both smile* Nice to meet you all.
Group: *surprised* A throuple?!
Succubus-Imp Hybrid: *lets out an impressed whistle* You're a seriously lucky girl, Ronnie. For reals.
Laird: *smiles* We're really happy for you.
Ronnie Anne: *chuckles* Thanks, guys. *gestures the group to Lincoln and Octavia* Guys, meet my awesome shredding pals: Sid, Nikki, Casey, Sameer, and Laird.
Sid: Hey there!
Nikki, Casey, Sameer: Sup'./Hey./Nice to meet ya.
Laird: Hello.
Nikki: So how long you three been dating?
Casey: Can they hang out with us?
Sameer: Do they know how to shred?
Ronnie Anne: *laughs a bit* Hey, guys! One at a time!
Octavia: *smiles* It's okay, Ronnie. *looks at the group* We've been dating for a few months now. Lincoln and I were dating just the two of us for longer, till Ronnie Anne joined after accidentally confessing when she got drunk at Beelzebub's party.
Casey: *surprised* Drunk?! How the fuck that happen?!
Ronnie Anne: *annoyed snarl* Some dipshit spiked my drink with Beelzejuice.
Lincoln: Yeah, but things worked out in the end, didn't they?
Ronnie Anne calms down and blushes with a smile.
Lincoln: Mmhmm. *looks at the group* We'd be glad to hang out with you guys. *scratches the back of his head* Though… neither of us have skateboarded before.
Octavia: *shakes her head* Not once.
Sid: That's okay! *the Skater Gang all hold up their skateboards* We can show you the ropes!
Sameer: If you dudes feel like you're up for it.
Lincoln: *thinks it over* Hmm... *looks at Octavia* What do you think, Via?
Octavia thinks it over for a moment.
Octavia: ... I mean... *looks at her girlfriend's friend group* I guess it could be pretty fun.
Nikki: *grins* Trust me, you'll both be pros by the end of the day!
Octavia takes another moment to think before nodding at her lovers with a smile.
Lincoln: *smiles* ...Okay. Teach us, please.
Ronnie Anne: *her friend group cheers as she grins* Good answer.
Fade to a later time as Lincoln, Octavia and Ronnie Anne's friends were standing on one end of the halfpipe. Ronnie Anne was away to get her lovers skateboards. In the meantime, the group was chatting.
Sameer: Wait, so you talked shit to THE Asmodeus?! In his own club?!
Lincoln: He was talking shit about my parents, so I wasn't going to let that slide. But things are better between us now.
Nikki: Are the rumors about him being in love with an Imp true?
Lincoln: *shrugs* I wouldn't be surprised if they are, since he and Fizz seem pretty close.
Laird: I still can't get over how you frequently stand up to the Radio Demon... *shudders a bit* That guy's terrifying as shit...
Lincoln: *shrugs again* Eh, I've met scarier.
Soon enough, Ronnie Anne rides in, launching up the top of the halfpipe and landing after performing a frontflip.
Ronnie Anne: I'm back! *holds out two skateboards and hands them to Lincoln and Octavia* Had these specially customized.
Lincoln's skateboard was orange with his Zodiac mark on the top. The bottom said L.L.-x-O.G.-x-R.A.S.. Octavia's was a deep black with her demon form in pink over a night sky design on the top. Just like Lincoln's, the bottom said L.L.-x-O.G.-x-R.A.S..
Lincoln: *he and Octavia both blush at the customizations on the bottom* Thanks, Ronnie. *thinks to himself* I gotta update my license plate to match this.
Octavia: Yeah, thanks.
Ronnie Anne: *smiles* No problem. Now, you two ready?
Octavia: I guess.
Lincoln: *he and Octavia put on their helmets* What's first?
Ronnie Anne: Alright. First things first: put your boards flat on the ground and stand on them to learn to place your feet properly.
They set the boards down, then stand on them. Ronnie Anne and Sid hold them both so they don't fall off the boards or slide away.
Ronnie Anne: Alright, good. Now normally, you want to keep your left foot at the front of the board.
Sid: And make sure your feet are shoulder width apart.
Lincoln: *he and Octavia adjust themselves* Okay...
Octavia: *thinking* There's already a lot to take in.
Nikki: Now, rock back and forth a little to see how the wheels move and how much sway you've got on the tracks.
Casey: It's to get comfortable, dudes.
They do just that. Octavia nearly falls, but Sid quickly catches her.
Sid: Easy, easy. I got ya.
Octavia: *sighs* Thanks.
Sameer: So far, so good, dudes. Now, try pushing off.
Laird: G-gently.
Ronnie Anne: If you fall, it's okay. It's part of learning.
Sid: Yeah, we know from experience.
Laird: Y-Yeah, especially me...
Lincoln and Octavia nod, then try pushing off, which makes them go forward.
Ronnie Anne: *nods* Nice job.
Lincoln: I think we're getting the hang of the basics.
Octavia: *a bit tense* Okay, okay...
Nikki: You alright, girl?
Octavia: Yeah, just... not sure what's harder. *nearly falls but catches herself* This or my uncle's training...
Ronnie Anne: *puts an arm around Octavia* Hey. I get it. Skateboarding's hard, for sure. *grins* But I've got confidence that you can do it, Via. *kisses her cheek*
Octavia: *blushes and smiles* Okay... *the group "awwww"'s* Thanks.
Ronnie Anne: In fact, why don't we learn on the go? *to her friends* C'mon, guys. I think we should show Linc and Via the sights around here.
Sid: *grins* Let's fucking do it!
Casey, Sameer, Nikki, Laird: Hell yeah!/Alright!/Works for me!/O-Okay!
Lincoln: *smiles* Sightseeing works for me!
Octavia: *nods* Agreed. We'd love to learn more about this town.
Ronnie Anne: *grins* Then let's go!
Ronnie Anne tosses her board on the ground and hops on, skating off as her friends follow behind. Lincoln and Octavia copy the group and skate after them.
Octavia: *wobbles a bit* Not sure if I can keep up!
Lincoln: It's okay, Via. Just hang onto me. *takes her hand* I'll get you through till you're better at this.
Octavia: *blushes* Okay, Linky.
She smiles at Lincoln, before the two skate after their girlfriend and her friends.
Cut to the streets of the Gluttony Ring as the group skates along the sidewalk, as Lincoln and Octavia took in the sights. They hadn't gotten a proper tour of the Greed Ring when they came for Bee's party in Queen Bee.
Lincoln: *lets out an impressed whistle* It feels like a constant sunset in the Gluttony Ring!
Octavia: *smiles* It's pretty.
Nikki: Home's fuckin' beautiful.
Casey: Yeah. Aside from those annoyin' ass Shadow Cats.
Lincoln: We heard a little about those. What exactly are they?
Sameer: The most disgustin' little bastards that ever showed their god damn faces. They just stir shit for the hell of it! And y'know who made them shits?
Octavia: Who?
Ronnie Anne: *snarls* The worst of the Sins... fucking Mammon.
Lincoln: *frowning* Oh really?
Laird: You met the Sins, right? *gulps* W-Was Mammon there...?
Lincoln: No, I haven't met the Sin of Greed, but Satan's told me all about him.
Casey: Well, he sent these fuckin' cats to the Gluttony Ring just to stir shit up, since he's banned from ever steppin' foot in this Ring.
Octavia: He is?
Sameer: Apparently, some centuries ago or shit, Bee banned Mammon from ever stepping foot in her Ring because he tried to mooch off of the success of her Beelzejuice.
Lincoln: *shakes his head* Yeesh. He's as bad as Satan said. Hell, he's fucking worse.
Laird: *scared* Yeah...
Nikki: I heard a rumor that even Hell's Princess hates Mammon. And it takes a lot for Miss Rainbows to hate someone.
Lincoln: I can confirm that. *they look at him* Charlie said that the Sins are like uncles and aunts to her, but she absolutely HATES Mammon, and doesn't want anything to do with him. The only person she hates as much as she hates him is her ex-boyfriend.
Ronnie Anne: *stunned* That's unreal, Linc. *she skids to a stop, and the others follow suit* But enough about that piece of shit, cause we're at our first stop!
Zoom out from behind the group to show a food and arcade restaurant with a big sign saying "Joey's Games 'n' Grill".
The Skater Gang: Joey's Games 'n' Grill!
Ronnie Anne: *grinning* This is our favorite food and gaming spot!
They pick up their skateboards and head inside, as they go inside. Once inside, they're met with a building filled with many tables on one side, and arcade games of all types on the other side. The place was filled with many people either eating or gaming. An Imp waitress notices the group enter, and gasps upon seeing Ronnie Anne.
Imp Waitress: The Dance Queen is back!
That makes the whole restaurant look, seeing Ronnie Anne as well. Surprised and excited gasps and murmurs ring out through the building.
Ronnie Anne: *chuckles* My reputation still precedes me.
Octavia: *surprised* You're popular here, Ronnie Anne?
Ronnie Anne: Only cause I held the highest score on my favorite arcade game for years.
?: *off-screen* And I don't see it being broken anytime soon.
They turn and see the manager of the restaurant, a Hellhound about the same size as Vortex with brown fur and hair, walking over.
Hellhound: Was wondering when I'd see you again, Ronnie Anne.
Ronnie Anne: *grins* Joey, good to see you again, motherfucker!
She approaches him as they share a fist bump.
Joey: *chuckles* How's my favorite customer?
Ronnie Anne: Doin' well, Joey. Been busy with a new job and all.
Joey: I see you brought the whole gang with you.
Skater Gang: *all grin* Hey, Joey!/Sup?
Joey: *notices Lincoln and Octavia* Hey. Got some new company with ya?
Ronnie Anne: Better than just "company". Joey, meet my lovers: Lincoln and Octavia.
Joey: *surprised* Well holy shit, can't say I expected that. *approaches Lincoln and Octavia* Nice to meet you both.
Lincoln: *shakes Joey's hand* You too, sir.
Octavia: You said Ronnie's your favorite customer?
Joey: *laughs* This girl's been comin' in since she was a pup! She's practically family to me!
Ronnie Anne: *smirks* I ain't plannin' on stopping.
Joey: *grins* That's fine with me. *they share another fistbump before he hands her a jar of tokens* This outta be enough for your peeps to have fun.
Ronnie Anne: *grins as she takes the jar* Oh, this should be MORE than enough, Joey! Thanks!
Joey: I'll let the chefs know to get started on your usual. Your usual table is open.
Ronnie Anne: *she and the other walk past Joey as she waves* You're the best, man!
The group gathers around a large round table in the middle of the restaurant and take their seats.
Lincoln: So you've been going here since you were a kid?
Ronnie Anne: *nods* Oh yeah.
A brief flashback shows a young Ronnie Anne playing games with an adult male Hellhound.
Ronnie Anne: *voice-over* My dad was the first one who brought me here, and I've loved this place ever since.
The flashback ends with Ronnie Anne smiling blissfully.
Ronnie Anne: Good times...
Lincoln: *scratches his head* I don't think I've seen your dad before.
Ronnie Anne: Heh... yeah. He's always away, working as a doctor in the Sloth Ring.
Octavia: Are he and your mom still together?
Ronnie Anne: Oh yeah, they are. It's just that his work is pretty important, so he has to spend most of his time in the Sloth Ring in case something happens.
Sid: Better than a divorce or the relationship getting toxic, girl.
Ronnie Anne: *nods* For real.
The imp waitress from earlier comes up to the table with a large pizza topped with pepperoni and meat.
Imp Waitress: Here you are, guys: one Cheesy Hell Special. *sets it on the table*
Ronnie Anne: *smiles* Thanks, Klara.
Klara: *smiles* Enjoy. *walks off*
Casey: *the skater gang looks excited and hungry* Can never go wrong with the Cheesy Hell Special!
Nikki: *grin* Damn right!
The group starts to dig in on the Cheesy Hell Special.
Lincoln: *perks up* I see why this is your usual! *swallows with a grin* This is damn delicious!
Octavia: *finishes off a slice* So good!
Sameer: You two seriously ain't had this before?
Lincoln: *shakes his head* I lived most of my life in the Pride Ring, so no.
Octavia: My screeching banshee of a mother would have bitched and screamed if I even thought about trying food like this instead of "royal food", as she puts it.
Nikki: *chuckles* Better late than never, huh, dudes?
Octavia: *smiles* I agree.
Later, most of the gang were leaning back in their seats as the plate before them was empty.
Laird: *rubs his stomach* I am full...
Lincoln: Phew... that was fucking good...
Octavia: I hope we still have room for dinner later...
Ronnie Anne: Trust me, you will.
Klara comes back and picks up the empty plate.
Klara: I assume everyone had their fill?
Sid: *burps* Oh yeah...
Ronnie Anne: Just as good as I remember, Klara.
Klara: *smiles* Happy to hear that.
Ronnie Anne: *hands her some cash* Here you go, girl. Tip's included.
Klara: *takes the dough* Much obliged. *leaves with the cash and plate*
Ronnie Anne: And now that we ate... *pulls out the jar of tokens* Who's up for games?!
Skater Gang/Lincoln/Octavia: *all raise their hands excitedly* ME!
Ronnie Anne grins before they all rush to the arcade section off-screen. A montage begins with the group watching Sid and Nikki playing air scores on Nikki, causing the former to cheer as the latter growls.
Cut to then show Casey and Sameer playing a racing game as the group cheers them both on. Casey passes Sameer and takes the lead, but Sameer was quick to take the lead back just in time to pass the finish line. Sameer and the others cheer as Casey groans.
Next it cuts to Lincoln, Octavia and Laird playing a shooting game. Laird gets overwhelmed by zombies, causing him to get nervous, but Lincoln and Octavia cover him and shoot down the zombies surrounding him. Laird sighs in relief and mouths "thank you" to Lincoln and Octavia.
The montage ends when the group follows Ronnie Anne to the last game of the day.
Ronnie Anne: And we wrap up our fun with my favorite game in the whole restaurant.
Cut to show them standing before a dancing game titled "Dance Battle!" on the top.
Ronnie Anne: *grinning* "Dance Battle!"
Nikki: *looks at Lincoln and Octavia* You two are about to see why Ronnie Anne is called the "Dance Queen" in this place.
Stepping onto the dance floor, Ronnie Anne selects her favorite song in the game, "Totally Hellborn", and then sets difficulty on the highest level, "Master".
Dance Battle!: *female automated voice* Dancers, are you ready? 3... *Ronnie Anne grins and pops her neck* 2... *she cracks her knuckles* 1... *the song begins to play* LET'S DANCE!
As the music plays, arrows then start rising from the bottom of the screen, and Ronnie Anne then starts hitting the matching panels on the dance floor at the perfect time. Her score starts rising as she does.
Succubus: *sees Ronnie Anne and gasps, loud enough for everyone to hear* The Dance Queen's in action, everyone!
In a split second, a crowd gathered behind the group of friends, eager to see Ronnie Anne's performance.
Octavia: *startled* She attracted a crowd?!
Lincoln: *blinks* They don't miss a beat, huh?
Casey: Happens all the time.
Sid: Yeah, your girl is the fucking champ at this game.
Dance Battle!: Wicked combo!
Ronnie Anne: *amps up her dancing* Oh yeah!
Crowd: *starts to chant while cheering* Dance Queen! Dance Queen! Dance Queen!
*Ronnie Anne's score just kept rising and rising, never missing a single note.*
Lincoln: *he and Octavia look impressed* God damn, she's really fucking good.
Octavia: No kidding.
Images flash by, showing Ronnie Anne's feet burning through the panels and her continuation of nailing the notes with perfect accuracy. Finally, she hits the final arrow with a perfect score as the song ends.
Dance Battle! YOU WIN! *"You Win!" appears on the screen*
Ronnie Anne: *pumps a fist in victory* Boo-yah!
The whole crowd cheers for her as she backflips off of the gamepad.
Ronnie Anne: *faces her lovers* Well?
Octavia: *smiles* You were fantastic, Ronnie Anne! No, uh... Unbelievable!
Lincoln: *grins* That was some serious high-skill grooving.
Ronnie Anne: *chuckles* Thanks, guys.
Dance Battle!: NEW HIGH SCORE!
"New High Score!" appears on the screen, then does the "Type Your Initials" page. Ronnie Anne types in "R-A-S", then presses enter. The screen then shows the leaderboard with her new high score at the top of the list, with a bunch of other scores underneath with the same "R-A-S" initials. Yes, Ronnie Anne was on the ENTIRE leaderboard.
Lincoln and Octavia: *stunned* ...Whoa.
Nikki: *chuckles* Now you see why she's the "Dance Queen"?
Sid: So far, NO one's been able to beat her scores!
Casey: Many tried, but no one even got past her tenth place score.
Ronnie Anne: *smirks* I'll be surprised when that actually happens.
Octavia: *shakes her head* I won't even attempt to try.
Ronnie Anne: No shame in admitting, Via, but this game does have multiplayer. *faces Lincoln* Are you brave enough to face me, Lincoln?
Lincoln: *shrugs* Eh, what the heck? I'm game.
Most of the crowd gasps as Lincoln joins Ronnie Anne on the gamepad.
Random Imp 1: *whispers* Even after watching her, he still wants to try?
Random Imp 2: *whispers* He must either be really arrogant or really stupid.
Ronnie Anne: *she and Octavia glare at them* Hey. *the two Imps look startled* Watch what you jackasses say about our boyfriend.
Octavia: Or you might get your faces smashed against one of these games.
The two imps shrink into the crowd with fear as Ronnie Anne turns back to the game and selects a different song, "Papa's Gotta Kill", and then once more, sets the difficulty on the highest level, "Master".
Dance Battle!: Dancers, are you ready? 3... *Ronnie Anne smirks at Lincoln* 2... *Lincoln smirks back at her* 1... *the song begins to play* LET'S DANCE!
The screen then splits into two different sets of arrows. Arrows begin to rise on the left, and Ronnie Anne dances as she steps on the right arrow pads at the right time, boosting her score immediately. But when arrows rise on the right side, Lincoln does the same thing... and everyone was startled to see he was doing them perfectly too.
Crowd: *shocked* HUH?!
Skater Group: *shocked* The fuck?!
Lincoln: *smirks at his surprised second girlfriend* What can I say? I'm a fast learner.
Ronnie Anne: *her surprise turns into eagerness* Looks like I finally got me a challenge on this game! *faces the stunned crowd* C'mon, everyone! Let me hear ya!
The crowd shakes off their shock and roars with applause as the game rages on. Lyric by lyric, Ronnie Anne nails the arrows with every dance step, and Lincoln follows suit perfectly. Their scores were practically neck and neck, and the two end up dancing in sync on the two dance pads, their scores getting higher and higher as the game keeps going.
Laird: *shocked as the crowd goes even wilder* Is Lincoln seriously matching Ronnie Anne's pace?!
Nikki: *shocked* I didn't think that was even possible!
Octavia: *smiles* That's our Linky.
At the end of the song, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne hit the last arrows with perfect scores.
Dance Battle!: Player 1! Final result... Disco Queen!
On the left of the screen, the words "DISCO QUEEN" appear as a golden demon crown spins behind the words. Everyone cheers for Ronnie Anne as she grins.
Dance Battle!: Player 2! Final result... Disco King!
On the right of the screen, the words "DISCO KING" appear as a golden demon crown spins behind the words. More cheers ring for Lincoln as he grins as well.
Lincoln: *looks at Ronnie Anne* Gotta say, that was fucking fun.
Ronnie Anne: Damn fucking right it was.
Lincoln: *glances at the screen, which goes back to the title screen* So... no leaderboard ranking?
Ronnie Anne: Oh no. Multiplayer doesn't do that. *waves it off* But hey, I'm glad you kept up the whole time. You're a natural!
Lincoln: *smiles* Thanks, Ronnie.
Fade to outside as the skater group walks out of the building.
Ronnie Anne: *waves inside* Later, Joey! Later, Klara!
Klara: *inside* Bye, Ronnie!
Joey: *inside* You better come back soon!
Ronnie Anne: *nods* Count on it! *shuts the door*
Octavia: *giggles* That place was a lot of fun!
Lincoln: *nods* Good food too.
Casey: I still can't believe you were matching Ronnie Anne at her game, Lincoln!
Nikki: For real! On your first try with that game no less!
Lincoln: *shrugs* Just kinda came to me, I guess.
Octavia: So where should we go now?
Ronnie Anne: There's still a bit more time before my cousin's announcement, so the last place we're going is somewhere with the best view around. *hops on her skateboard and rides off-screen* Follow me!
The group follows Ronnie Anne on their own boards.
Back at the Casagrandes' place, Dominic is sitting out on the balcony. He looks down at his cybernetic hands as a ringing sound starts to fill his ears. His hands start to tremble as it flashes to a moment when his hands were flesh, until a red bladed sword slices them off. In Dominic's POV, a black-haired red-eyed woman holding the sword then slashes his feet off, before swinging the blade across his face as his vision snaps to black.
Carlota: *off-screen, concerned* Dom?!
Dominic gasps as the flashback ends, and he's left panting as Carlota, who was kneeling in front of him, gently holds his hands.
Carlota: *concerned* Are you okay?
Dominic says nothing, but his panting slows a bit as he simply glances at the balcony floor.
Carlota: *gently rests her hand on his cheek* It was that moment again, wasn't it...? When that Huntress bitch attacked you...?
Dominic: *was quiet for a few moments, then nodded* ... Yeah...
Carlota pulls Dominic close and carcasses his hair.
Dominic: I never forgot how outmatched I was... she was so fast...
Carlota gently rubs Dominic's back as his Death Stalker tail gently wraps around her.
Carlota: The important thing is that you came out of that situation alive... On top of that, you also came out stronger... *gently pushes him back and lifts his head up so she's looking into his eyes* And I promise, I'll always be by your side, no matter who is against us.
A small smile forms on Dominic's face.
Dominic: Thanks... mi amor.
They smile and share a loving kiss on the lips.
Back with the skater group, they soon come to a stop.
Ronnie Anne: This is our last stop!
Cut behind them to show a massive viewing tower that was even taller than Beelzebub's mansion.
Skater Gang: Gluttony Tower!
Octavia: *picks up her skateboard, surprised* Wow, Gluttony Tower?
Lincoln: *impressed whistle* That's a huge tower.
Nikki: Wait till you two see the view from the top.
Sid: Let's go!
The group picks up their skateboards and rush through the auto doors. Cut to inside the elevator as it takes the group up to the top floor.
Casey: *speaks up suddenly from the elevator music* ...Good song.
Cut to the top floor as the elevator dings and opens up. The friends step out as the doors close.
Ronnie Anne: *as they approach the windows* The Gluttony Tower has the best view of the entire Ring. *looks at her lovers* Take a look.
Lincoln and Octavia step up to the windows to take a look, and they both gasp upon seeing that Ronnie Anne was right: the view that they had from this high up was AMAZING. They could see everything from the Casagrandes' house to Beelzebub's house!
Octavia: *amazed* This is just... WOW!
Lincoln: *amazed* You're right, Ronnie. This view is fuckin' incredible! I think you can see the whole Ring from here!
Ronnie Anne: *smiles* I told you.
The rest of the group joins them at the window, staring at the view. Ronnie Anne smiles and wraps her arms around her lovers, embracing them.
Ronnie Anne: *blushes* This is nice...
Lincoln and Octavia blush and put their arms around Ronnie Anne, only to be startled by multiple white flashes. They turn to find the Skater Gang holding up their phones.
Nikki: *grinning* One for the Sinstagram, girl.
Ronnie Anne: *cut outside the tower as she is heard growling* TWO TIMES TODAY?! FUCKIN' HELL! *everyone but Ronnie Anne can be heard laughing*
It fades to black, then to later in the day as the gang is seen exiting the tower. Ronnie Anne's phone goes off, and she sees it's a text from her mother.
Ronnie Anne: Oh, Mom said that dinner's gonna be ready in about 10 minutes. *looks at her partners* We better head back.
Lincoln and Octavia: Okay.
Laird: *looks sad* You gotta go, Ronnie Anne?
Ronnie Anne: *faces her city friends* Afraid so, Laird. This hangout is just about over.
Sid: We get it, girl. *smiles* But hey, it was so damn fun hanging out with you again.
Nikki: *grins* For real, dude. *the rest of the Skater Gang smile*
Ronnie Anne: *smiles* It was nice seeing you guys too.
The Skater Gang all share hugs and handshakes with Ronnie Anne.
Sid: *she and the Skater Gang hop onto their boards* Catch ya on the flipside, bitch! *skates off*
Nikki/Casey/Sameer/Laird: *follow suit as they wave goodbye to Ronnie Anne* Bye, Ronnie!
Ronnie Anne: *waves back* Catch you guys next time!
Octavia: *smiles* They were really nice.
Lincoln: *smiles* Yeah, they were.
Ronnie Anne: *smiles* I'm glad you guys liked them. *sets her board down and hops on* Come on, let's head back.
Ronnie Anne rides off-screen with Lincoln and Octavia skating after her. Sunset rolls by as Lincoln, Ronnie Anne and Octavia ride past the city fountain.
Octavia: *finally balancing on her skateboard by herself, smiles* I think I'm finally getting the hang of this.
Ronnie Anne: *smiles* Awesome, Via!
Lincoln: *smiles* Yeah, this now feels natural. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if we get to use this in a mission at I.M.P. someday.
Ronnie Anne's phone buzzes with an incoming text.
Ronnie Anne: *skids to a stop* Hold on, guys. Got a text from Mama.
Lincoln and Octavia slow to a stop as Ronnie Anne reads the text, only for her look to turn into one of shock and horror.
Ronnie Anne: Oh no...
Lincoln: *he and Octavia look concerned* What's wrong, Ronnie?
Octavia: *concerned* Is everything okay?
Ronnie Anne: *was quiet for a moment, then puts her phone away and faces her partners, looking serious* We need to hurry. Now.
Lincoln: *he and Octavia are even more concerned* What? What's going on?
Ronnie Anne: *suddenly skates off, much to their surprise* There's...
Cut to the Casagrandes' house, which was suddenly covered in fast-moving hairballs. Meowing, hissing, and snarling is heard as the building was getting damaged with claw marks on the walls.
Ronnie Anne: *off-screen* ...A SHADOW CAT INFESTATION!
Cut to show the demonic cats, eyes blazing green as they viciously screech, only for one's head to suddenly explode from a shotgun shot. Rosa reloads and opens fire on the infestation again, killing another Shadow Cat.
Rosa: *furious* ¡SALGAN LA MIERDA DE MI CASA! (Translation: GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!)
But too many Shadow Cats form a big blob and quickly overwhelm Rosa by swamping all over her, causing her to scream. Cut to the Casagrande siblings huddled in terrified fright on top of the coffee table as Dominic opens fire on the Shadow Cats with his hands turned into machine guns, popping off some heads like bloody confetti.
Dominic: *grits his teeth* Annoying ass cats!
A few try a sneak attack on Dominic from behind, but his Death Stalker tail instinctively attacks, beheading them all as his hands form blades. He then runs through a crowd of Shadow Cats and stabs a few of them like a kebab, then vaporizing them with a golden blast.
Lori and Bobby are back to back, slashing up Shadow Cats that try to lunge for them.
Bobby: Why did this have to happen before Carlota's announcement?!
Lori: *rips out a Shadow Cat's heart* Let's literally figure it out after we survive this, Boo-Boo! *Lalo and Sergio dart right past them in fear as some Shadow Cats chase them!*
Lalo and Sergio soon find themselves cornered as the Shadow Cats take the form of one massive cat that roars viciously at them. The demon dog and demon parrot scream as they embrace each other for what seems to be their final moments. The Shadow Cats lunge for them...
... only for a portal to open up as Octavia, in her large demon form, comes out and slashes the mass of Shadow Cats in half with her wings. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne leap out of the portal behind her.
Casagrandes: *sees Ronnie Anne, relieved* Ronalda!/Ronnie!/Onnie!
Lori: *sees Lincoln and Octavia, relieved as well* Lincoln! Octavia!
Lincoln: *stunned at the damage the Shadow Cats are making* It's a fuckin' madhouse in here!
Ronnie Anne: *snarls in rage, shouting* Alright, you fucking pussycats! *pulls out a pair of shotguns as she enters her Zodiac form* BRING IT ON!
She runs in, shotguns firing as the heads of Shadow Cats explode left and right. One tries to jump at her, but she shoves the shotgun through its head, then shoots a small crowd of Shadow Cats behind it.
Lincoln: *draws out his knife* Time to exterminate these pests!
Entering his Zodiac form, Lincoln roars as he rushes across the living room, beheading a bunch of Shadow Cats with his knife.
A wave of Shadow Cats charges at Octavia, but her eyes flash pink as the wave of cats is turned to stone. She shoves the petrified Shadow Cats down as they crush some more Shadow Cats, then the petrified Shadow Cats shatter into rubble. Octavia then turns to her regular form as another portal opens behind her. Her sword flies out in a streak of pink fire and stabs into a Shadow Cat, burning it to ashes.
Octavia: *grabs her sword and takes a stance* Come at me, you annoying little shits! *runs in with a battle cry*
Lori and Bobby nod at each other and turn into their Zodiac forms before mauling a bunch of Shadow Cats in a dance step-like way.
Bobby: *grinning* May I have this dance?!
Lori: *smirks* If you can keep up!
They grab hands and turn into a violent tornado that rips hordes of Shadow Cats to bloody shreds.
Dominic was mowing down some of the Shadow Cats with his minigun arms, then swiftly kicked a few heads off with his foot as a rocket-boosted blade. His Death Stalker tail then stabs a Shadow Cat through the chest, before throwing it to the side.
Dominic: *snarls* I might need some help...
His veins darken as he then slams his hands on the ground. Suddenly, a large black beast resembling a bear with bone-like spikes along its body appears. Dominic had summoned a fellow Grimm, an Ursa, to the fight. The Ursa roars as it starts clawing through waves of Shadow Cats.
Dominic: *grins* That's more like it.
Meanwhile, outside of the chaos, Beelzebub can be seen heading towards the Casagrande apartment while slinging a ball of honey around her finger. She looked happy, but the sight of the Shadow Cats infesting the apartment is enough to instantly put her in a bad mood.
And it takes a LOT to put Beelzebub herself in a bad mood.
Beelzebub: *looks absolutely PISSED as the ball of honey around her finger then takes the form of an axe, solidifying in her hand* Mammon's little shits have overstayed their fucking welcome!
Inside the apartment, the group was surrounded by lots of Shadow Cats snarling at them.
Octavia: There's too many!
Lincoln: Rosa was right about them being monsters in a group!
Ronnie Anne: *growls* Don't stop now! We gotta keep- *the front door suddenly flies in and smashes a bunch of Shadow Cats into bloody paste on the wall, much to everyone's surprise* ...fighting?
Beelzebub: *off-screen, angrily* Room for one more?
Everyone looks to the front door, seeing Beelzebub at the door with her honey axe slung over her shoulder as she looks angry. Her third eye in the center of her forehead opens.
Casagrandes: *relieved* Beelzebub!
Lincoln/Ronnie Anne/Octavia: *relieves* Bee!
Beelzebub: *growls* Went for a simple shopping trip… Now I'm dealing with Mammon MESSES!
On the last word, Beelzebub heavily swings her honey axe at the Shadow Cats surrounding our heroes, followed by more slashes. Sure enough, the Shadow Cats explode into bloody bits. More Shadow Cats rise up and start charging at Bee, but she swings her tail at them and covers them in the scolding hot honey her tail is made of. The honey instantly hardens, as if trapping the cats inside. Bee then kicks the hardened honey, shattering it and the cats to pieces. The honey then dissolves with the Shadow Cat remains, vanishing entirely.
Some of the Shadow Cats start to back up in fright as the Sin of Gluttony twirls her honey axe and slings it over her shoulder.
Beelzebub: *a cutscene forms over her narrowed eyes, as she speaks in a murderous tone* Who's next?!
The Shadow Cats yowl and screech as they try to book it for an exit, only to freeze in fear. Standing at one of the exits was Dominic, arms crossed, with his summoned Ursa behind him. He snaps his fingers as two wolf-like beasts, Beowolves, appear at his sides.
Dominic: *narrows his eyes* You motherfuckers ain't goin' anywhere.
The Shadow Cats run for another exit, but Octavia in her large demon form blocks it as she screeches, pink flames emitting from her beak.
Octavia: No you don't!
The Shadow Cats run away once more, but Lincoln and Ronnie Anne block the final exit and stop them in their tracks once again.
Ronnie Anne: *growls* Denied!
Lincoln: *crosses his arms with a smirk* Nuh-uh-uh.
The Shadow Cats back up, surrounded by Lincoln, the Santiagos, Octavia, the Casagrandes, Dominic and his Grimm, and Beelzebub. There was nowhere to go, and there were only a few Shadow Cats left alive. The rest were nothing but bloody corpses, some left in pieces.
Rosa: *smirks* Mate. (Translation: Checkmate.) *cocks her shotgun*
Outside the apartment, the Shadow Cats all yowl in dying agony as a large explosion goes off inside, smoke hissing out of the windows.
It cuts back to inside the apartment as everyone was now cleaning up Shadow Cat corpses.
Octavia: *returns to her normal form* Well, cannot say I expected this when meeting my girlfriend's family.
Lincoln: *chuckles* Same, but it's Hell. Every day is chaos.
Beelzebub: *pops up between them both* Hold up, "girlfriend"? Linc, Via, what did I miss?
Lincoln: Bee, you remember Ronnie Anne from the party? *Bee nods* Well, long story short, the three of us are now a throuple.
Beelzebub: *interested* Are ya now? *grins* That's wild!
Octavia: It, uh, wasn't a normal confession.
Beelzebub: *gets it instantly* Was she drunk?
Ronnie Anne: *frowning* Some asshole spiked my drink at your party.
Beelzebub: *frowns* Fuckin' hell, I am so sorry, girl. Do you know who did it?
Lincoln: No need, I already took care of it. *they look at him* When I went to tell our friends Via and I were taking Ronnie Anne home, I overheard some red furred asshole commenting about how he "spiked the drink of a hot hound girl in purple", so it was easy to figure out he was the one that spiked her drink, probably for a reason I do not intend to say out loud.
Beelzebub: Let me guess... it's a reason that would make Ozzie furious?
Lincoln: *nods* So I shot that son of a bitch right between the legs. He didn't die, but he probably wishes he did.
Beelzebub: *smirks* Nice. *she and Lincoln fist bump, then look at all the Shadow Cat corpses* So what are we gonna do with these dead bodies?
Lincoln: *thinks over for a moment before snapping his fingers, an evil smirk forms on his face* Oh, I know.
Lincoln pulls Beelzebub, Ronnie Anne and Octavia over and whispers something to them. After a few seconds, their eyes widen, before their faces adopt their OWN evil smirks. Whatever idea Lincoln had... they fucking loved it.
Octavia and Ronnie Anne: Let's do it!
Beelzebub: *grins* This is gonna do me a HUGE favor, Linc.
Later on, the Casagrandes have gathered all of the Shadow Cat corpses into one big pile.
Carlino: *tosses the last corpse into the pile, sighs* This better be the last corpse.
Ronnie Anne: *does a last check of the house, finding no other corpses* That's the last one, everyone!
Carlota: About time. *looks at Lincoln* So what now?
Lincoln: Now we send these to Bee's "dear friend". *faces Octavia* Via?
Octavia pulls out her own grimoire, which was another present by Phenex, and chants into it. Soon after, a portal appears and sucks up all of the corpses right into it.
Octavia: *grinning* Let's see how Mammon likes having his "pets" back.
Soon, the last corpse was sucked in, and the portal closes behind it.
Frida: *smiles* That's the last of them.
Carlos: *sighs in relief* Gracias a Dios.
It cuts to the Greed Ring. In a bedroom, Mammon, the King of Greed, smugly walks in after going through another business round with Fizzarolli.
Mammon: *counting money as he chuckles* What a fuckin' show. *looks ahead and is shocked as he drops his money* WHAT THE SHIT?!
The bedroom was littered with the corpses of the Shadow Cats, with a note attached to one Shadow Cat's severed head. Mammon snatches the note and reads it. It says "Here's your pets, bitch. From, Bee", with a middle finger drawn on the end. Mammon starts to seethe in rage as he tears the note in half. Cut outside of his building.
Mammon: *inside, screams this out in fury* BEELZEBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUB! *the Greed Ring shakes from his bellow*
Back at the Gluttony Ring, in the Casagrandes' house. Beelzebub snaps her fingers, as all the damage is repaired and the whole building is cleaned.
Beelzebub: *smiles* Well, that was fucking fun.
Octavia: *smirks* I'd kill to have seen Mammon's reaction to our "gift".
Lincoln: *smirks* Agreed.
Hector: Muchas gracias a todos. (Translation: Thanks a lot, everyone.)
CJ: *smiles* You really saved our tails!
Beelzebub: *smiles* Always happy to help some of my favorite people out.
Lincoln: *smiles* Agreed. Via and I weren't going to let our girlfriend's family down. *Octavia nods*
Dominic: *crosses his arms* I was not going to sit back and let those little shits hurt my fiancé's family.
Immediately, the whole room went silent as Carlota's face turned red. A few seconds later, the whole family looked at Dominic and Carlota with wide eyes.
Casagrandes and Santiagos: FIANCÉ?!
Carlota: *red faced and quiet for a few moments* ... Well, no point hiding it anymore. *smiles and takes Dominic's hand* Everyone... Dominic and I are engaged.
After a few seconds of silence, the room was filled with excited cheers as the Casagrandes hugged Carlota and Dominic.
Frida: *squeals* ¡Mi niña se va a casar! (Translation: My baby girl is getting married!)
Maria: *excited* This is so exciting!
Carlitos: *babbles* Cawota!
Ronnie Anne: *surprised* Definitely can't say I expected this. *smiles* But hey, I'm happy for you two.
Dominic: Thanks, Ronnie Anne.
Carlota: *smiling* Ronnie Anne, I actually have to ask you something. Since you're the closest thing I have to a sister, and you've always had my back… I'd like you to be my Maid of Honor.
Ronnie Anne: *stunned* M-Me…? *smiles* Carlota, I'd be happy to!
She hugs Carlota, and Carlota smiles brightly as she hugs back.
Carlota: Thank you so much, Ronnie Anne! *the hug splits* Of course, I'll have to make a Maid of Honor dress for you to try out. *smiles slyly* You know what that means. *pulls out a ruler and scissors*
Ronnie Anne: *her eyes widen in dismay* Wait, no! NO! *cut outside the apartment* NO! STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!
Carlota: *inside* GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE, RONNIE! *the episode ends*
A/N: I know what a lot of you are probably thinking, so I'm just going to say... yes, you are right. RWBY is added to this story.
