In the hierarchy of Hell, there was one class that was considered the "aristocrats" of the infernal realm: The Ars Goetia. Demons more powerful than the Overlords but less than the Deadly Sins, they can be considered as the aristocrats of the infernal world. Some Goetia we're focusing on are the owl demon Prince Stolas and his daughter, Octavia.
Stolas was...Quite the unlucky fellow, despite his privileged status. not felt loved by anyone, he was forced into a marriage with an abusive noblewoman who cared more about her status than her family.
However, there was a light in the darkness...Octavia.
Stolas loved his daughter with every fibre of his being, just existing that sweet child made Stolas' suffering less painful.
"every one thousand years our corner of reality is treated to an incredible sight from the deep eldritch recesses of the cosmos the tears of a forgotten colossus begin to fall. Tears made of the hopes and dreams of every living thing that never came to be. Condensed and sent shooting across the night sky in a dazzling final display. What appears to mortal beings as a meteor shower we can see for what it is: Azathoth's Tears." said Stolas.
"Daddy, can we go see it someday?" Octavia asked.
"Yes, dear. I promise, when the day comes nothing will be able to keep me from being there with you. Good night, my Owlette." Stolas put Octavia in her bed and left the room.
As he closed the door, Octavia giggled, excited and closed her eyes.
Then, she heard someone knocking on the window, waking her up.
Octavia left the bed and went to the window to check: It was the Doctor, in his Angel form, hanging on a tree. She opened the window and the Doctor went inside.
"Thanks." He panted, "Got stuck in a tree, sorry for waking you up."
"Who...Are you, sir?" Octavia politely asked.
"I'm the Doctor." the Doctor fixed his collar, "What's your name?"
"Octavia." Octavia gently bowed.
"Ah, what a beautiful name, mind if I call you Via?" said the Doctor. "I need to catch up some breath and I'll leave immediately, Via."
"Are you an Angel, sir?" Octavia asked, slightly fearful now. "O-One of those bad guys?"
"What? No, no no no. I'm way cooler than them." the Doctor gently grabbed the owlette Demon and put her in the bed. "Now, you should sleep now."
"Is...This a dream?" Octavia asked, yawning.
"Perhaps...But who says that it's not real?"
As Octavia fell asleep, the Doctor vanished in the night.
12 years later, Octavia woke up. During these years, due to...Despite several complications, her feathers/hair became rather unkempt, giving her a messy yet comfy appearance. She got dressed in her usual outfit: a black beanie with a pale yellow tiara design on her head, a pink choker and a pink long-sleeved dress with yellow stars, all under a black cardigan, along with black leggings and boots. While moody most of the time, today she was incredibly excited. Today, the Starfall was finally visible, and she couldn't wait to see it with her father.
"Dad? Dad!" She called for Stolas around the mansion, without answer. "Dad?"
Octavia found her father arguing with Stella, Stolas' soon-to-be ex-wife, on the phone, while Imps were loading items into a van.
"Dad...What's going on?" Octavia asked.
"Apparently, your mother can't exist somewhere for two minutes without the entirety of her possessions-" Stolas was interrupted by Stella who yelled at him through the phone. "What? No! I'm not turning her against you- Yes, Stella!"
"This...Will be done by tonight, right?" Octavia asked, as her hope began to shatter.
"Oh. I hardly think so. Knowing your mother, this will take all weekend." said Stolas, annoyed.
"But-"
"Sorry, dear, but could we please talk another moment? Your mother is being a B-I-T-C-H right now-"
Stella yelled to the phone.
"How could I know you could spell? I've never seen you read!" Stolas justified himself.
Octavia went back into the house, heartbroken.
However, her dad's business wouldn't stop her from seeing those stars. So, she took her backpack and left.
Next stop, the Immediate Murder Professionals HQs.
Where at I.M.P. Blitzo was fighting for his life, trying to talk with a royally pissed-off Loona.
Keyword: trying.
"Loona, honey, wai-" Blitzo dodged a knife coming at him. "Shit...Please, Loonie can we ta-"
Loona pounched him and tackled him down, then proceeded to beat the living daylights out of him with a photo.
Meanwhile, the other two members of I.M.P., the married couple of Imps named Moxxie and Millie, observed the scene from a distance while drinking their coffee.
"What are they fightin' about, Mox?" Millie asked.
"Oh, Blitzo talked to Loona about her attitude with clients," Moxxie explained, clearly amused.
Blitzo hid himself behind a sofa. "I just think some small tweaks might help you be more of a uh, people person, you know?" He said, with panic rising in his voice.
"I AM a people person!" Loona growled as she grabbed her adoptive father by the collar. "If I'm so terrible, why don't you grow a pair and replace me?!"
"...Maybe I might." Blitzo bluffed.
"What?" Loona didn't expect such an answer.
The tall Imp regained some composure, "Yeah, that's right it's tough love time. So, now you can...Go to your desk!"
Loona let him go and went to her desk.
At the same time, Octavia entered the office, with nobody noticing her.
She went to Blitzo's office, looking for a book Stolas "borrowed" to Blitzo: the Grimoire. Loona noticed Octavia's stealthy actions, but ignored her.
The owl girl saw a safe. She entered a random code, 1234...And it worked. Octavia grabbed the Grimoire and put it closer to her chest.
"Please...Let me see the stars."
The book began glowing, enough to make the I.M.P. crew notice it.
"The fuck?!" said Blitzo, as he went to the office. He and the crew arrived just in time to see Octavia vanish.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-OW!" Octavia landed to the ground.
She looked around. Civilians, human civilians, ignored the owl girl and kept walking. However, Octavia was confused and scared, but at least she seemed to recognise where exactly she is. It's a place her father used to talk to her about: London.
"Is...Is...Is this Earth?" She thought as she stood up. Octavia saw a large white church and took a photo.
"Okay...Where can I see the stars?" Octavia began wandering to the city, but little did she know someone was watching her, and they didn't have friendly intentions...
"Creature spotted, begin with the capture." A mysterious figure spoke.
Two ominous figures dressed in black began stalking the teenaged Princess, as she walked through the busy streets of London, but luckily, the girl noticed what was happening.
She began walking faster nonchalantly but so did the stalkers. Octavia panicked and did the only thing she could think of:
Run.
And so she did. She ran away as fast as she could, changing streets every single time, until she hid in an alley.
"I...I should be safe now." She thought, panting.
She wasn't.
Suddenly, the stalkers appeared and narcotised the girl.
Later, the I.M.P. crew warned Stolas about his daughter's disappearance, causing him to be dead worried. However, Loona sensed Octavia's smell still in the office and found out where she had gone.
So, Stolas opened a portal for London.
"Alright, Loona, let's make this quick." said Blitzo, "In and out before anyone notices us here. Sniff!"
Loona tried to sniff around. "Ugh, I can't. This place smells of rain and smog."
"Can't you even do one thing right?" Moxxie rolled his eyes.
"Can't you finally do something about how fat you are?" Loona quipped smugly.
"I am NOT fat!" Moxxie shouted.
"Enough already!" Blitzo interjected. "Now, first things first we're gonna do this the old-fashioned way: We're gonna need disguises!"
Almost immediately, Stolas and Loona turned into their human disguises. The demonic prince was now a tall man in his 30s with greyish hair and red eyes with white sclera. He was wearing a grey vest with a red waistcoat and black trousers. As for the Hellhound, she looked like a goth human teenager with long silver hair shaved on a side and red eyes. She still has her usual outfit, a tattered black crop top held up at the neckline by crisis-cross spaghetti straps that form an inverted pentagram, along with black shorts and, in her human form, black thigh-highs and a pair of sneakers. While her outfit looked rather skimpy as a Hellhound, now that she looked human it showed even more skin.
"You...You can't conjure us a couple of those, can ya?" Blitzo asked.
"Sadly, no." said Stolas, "I'm afraid without my Grimoire, my powers are just a tad limited in the human world. The spells are too long to memorise."
Blitzo sighed, annoyed. "We'll figure something out. Let's go!"
Meanwhile, the TARDIS materialised in Hyde Park. The Doctor emerged from it, now donning a human disguise. He looked identical to his "Angel" form, albeit his skin was now white, his eyes were brown, his hair was slightly greyer and his wings, halo and freckles disappeared.
The Doctor looked around and saw the Big Ben.
"London..." He said to himself, "What a dump. Although it's nice being back on Earth. "But the thing is...Why did the TARDIS bring me here?"
The Time Lord walked through the capital scanning the area with his sonic screwdriver, looking for alien lifeforms.
However, at the same time, Loona walked out of a Starbucks and spat her coffee when she saw the Time Lord.
"Loona?!/Doctor?!" They said in unison.
"W-What are you doing here?!" She asked, flustered.
"What are you doing here, you mean." said the Doctor."How did you get on Earth? Are you alone?"
"Huh, no." said Loona. "I'm with my dad and coworkers. We're looking for someone."
"A lost person?" the Doctor raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Can I talk with your father and Co.? I could help you."
"Huh...Sure!" said Loona, "Follow me!"
"Thank you - And by the way - You look great in your human disguise." said the Doctor.
Loona's face became red. "Oh, erm, t-thanks! So do you! With your disguise, I mean. It's cool.' She stuttered.
The Doctor chuckled. "I see. Now, lead the way!"
Later, Blitzo came out from a costume shop. He was now wearing a pink shirt, a pair of jeans, a brown wig and ridiculously big ears.
"So...What do you think?" He asked smugly.
"Well...I don't help it disguises a lot, your red skin is still visible," said Stolas.
"Maybe I could help." the Doctor arrived along with Loona.
"You?!" Blitzo recognised the Time Lord. "The fuck are you doing here?!"
"Do you know him, sir?" Moxxie asked.
"Yeah, he's the bastard that was with Loona at the party!" said Blitzo.
"Calm down, there's no need to fight." Stolas intervened. He turned to the Doctor. "You said that you help us, Mr...?"
"Doctor. I'm the Doctor." the Doctor introduced himself.
The Imps and the prince looked at the Doctor with a puzzled expression.
"Doctor Who?" Millie asked.
"That's me." said the Doctor. "You must be Loona's father's coworkers."
"Yeah, the name's Blitzo, the "o" is silent. These are Moxxie, Millie and the tall guy is Stolas," said Blitzo.
Moxxie and Millie waved at the Doctor, while Stolas bowed.
"Nice to meet you all." said the Doctor, "Now, back to business: Loona told me you're looking for a missing person."
"Oh, yes! It's my daughter, Octavia," said Stolas, handing a photo of her from his pocket to the Time Lord. "Have you seen her?"
"No, although her looks and that name do feel familiar." said the Doctor, "However, I know how we can find her. Follow me."
The I.M.P. crew (Blitzo reluctantly) and Stolas followed the Doctor to the TARDIS.
"What's that?" Millie asked.
"It's a police box. I heard they went out of commission many years ago, during my visits to Earth." Stolas explained.
"Well, this one is not exactly a police box." said the Doctor as he went inside the TARDIS. "Come in!"
"How...Are we gonna fit in there?" Moxxie asked.
"What's this, "Doctor", your place when you have your qui-WHAT THE FUCK?!"
The others entered the TARDIS.
The bigger interior changed since the Doctor's last encounter with the Hazbin crew. It was now pure white, as if it was made of quartz. The console, at the centre of the room, was a large column decorated with yellow designs but despite all the majestic things of it, it still gave a cozy feeling with the bookshelves, the armchair and the chimney.
"Fascinating..." Stolas commented. "It's bigger on the inside!"
"Time And Relative Dimension In Space." said the Doctor. "TARDIS, for short."
"Wow..." Said Mollie.
"But...How is this possible?" said Moxxie.
"Nevermind that. Now, Stolas, come here." said the Doctor.
Stolas obliged, and the Time Lord put the Demon's hands over the console.
"Now, concentrate and think of your daughter. Let the feeling of probably never seeing her again or her being in danger hurt you, but don't succumb to it. Just ask one question: Where is she right now?" the Doctor instructed him.
Stolas nodded, but before he could start thinking of Octavia, the TARDIS began to violently swing, causing everyone to fall to the ground.
"What the FUCK is going on?!" Blitzo shouted.
"I didn't cause any damage, did I?!" Stolas panicked.
"No, we didn't even take off! Something grabbed the TARDIS!" the Doctor explained, as he quickly checked the console. He then used his wings to arrive at the door and looked at outside.
His confused expression became one of annoyance when he saw what took the TARDIS.
The TARDIS was grabbed by lifting grapple of a helicopter. On said helicopter, there was a familiar emblem, a black and white stylised globe with the word "U.N.I.T" underneath.
"Oh, the absolute idiots..." the Doctor groaned.
"So?" Loona asked, holding on a railing near the TARDIS console. "What do you see outside?"
"...Nothing to worry about. They're old friends." the Doctor reassured his demonic companions.
The helicopter arrived at the Tower of London, landing on a landing pad underneath of it, revealing a much larger UNIT base.
Several soldiers surrounded the TARDIS as the group emerged from it.
"Alright." said the Doctor, annoyed. "Who's the idiot that ordered to take my TARDIS while I was inside?!"
"That would be me." A female voice spoke. It belonged to a serious-looking woman with ice-blond hair, wearing a black suit along with an overcoat.
"And you are?" the Doctor asked.
"Kate Lethbridge-Stewart. It's an honour to finally meet you, Doctor." Kate introduced herself. "I apologise for the inconvenient journey to arrive here."
"Yeah, "inconvenient"! I drive better my car when I'm drun-"
Loona covered Blitzo's hand with her paw. "Zip it."
The Doctor was surprised. "Hold on, did you say...Lethbridge-Stewart? That Lethbridge-Stewart? Are you the Brigadier's daughter?"
Kate nodded. "My father told me a lot about you." She glanced at the Demons. "Your...Companions, I presume?"
"HEY! Who are you calling companions?! We're not prostitutes!" Blitzo complained.
"...Please ignore him." the Doctor sighed. "Now, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, I'm sure you summoned us here for a reason."
"Yes, it's very urgent." said Kate, "Follow me."
The group obliged, following Kate through the structure.
Loona went closer to the Doctor. "You seem to...Know these people. Who's this "Brigadier" you talked about?"
"Oh, just an old friend of mine. And yes, I know this place." the Doctor explained. "UNIT, short for "United Nations Intelligence Taskforce", an organisation that repels alien invasions of Earth. I've worked with them several times."
"Yes, very fascinating, but..." Stolas interjected, "Don't you think we're wasting time here? Via could be anywhere!"
"Relax, Stolas, I'm sure she's fine." said the Doctor with a reassuring tone. "And UNIT will be useful at finding her."
They arrived in a room with a large monitor.
"Something unusual happened in the last 6 weeks." said Kate, as she handed the Doctor a dossier. "Glasgow, Cardiff, Liverpool, London...Several people have mysteriously disappeared."
"Do these people have something in common?" the Doctor asked.
"The victims appears to get kidnapped in couples, both of the same age group." said Kate.
The Doctor read the dossier. The first victims were both elders, the second were middle-aged, the third young adults.
"And looks like not even aliens are safe. We spotted one getting kidnapped today."
Stolas was more interested. "Tell me, Ms. Lethbridge-Stewart, did the alien look like this, by any chance?" He showed a photo of Octavia. Kate nodded.
"That's her!" said Stolas. "Via got kidnapped!"
"Alright, Thatcher, do you know where that girl got brought to?" Blitzo asked.
"We have a suspect." Kate pressed a button and on the screen appeared a blond man with green eyes. "This man is Nathan Hartfelt, a famous Demonology professor. There have been rumours about him having a cult that makes human sacrifices. People don't believe that, but after the Devil's End affair, I have the feeling this is the right path."
"Great, if we find this guy's place, we can find Octavia!" said Millie.
"Tomorrow there will be a party at Hartfelt's mansion, you can infiltrate there." said Kate.
"We're on it. Let's go back to the TARDIS." said the Doctor, looking at the I.M.P. crew. "I also have a few presents for you."
Later, the TARDIS materialised at Hartfelt's mansion, in the countryside far from London.
The Doctor, Loona and Stolas emerged from it. The other two changed into more elegant outfits: Loona a red dress, Stolas a dark blue suit with a bowtie and a cape.
"Are you...Sure the disguises will work?" Loona asked.
"It will, don't worry." replied the Doctor, while fixing his wrists. "With the modified Perception Filters, everyone will see them as humans."
Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie emerged from the TARDIS, now donning their disguises.
The I.M.P. boss looked like a man with dark skin and a white burn spot over the right side of his face.. He had short brown hair with a white lock and red eyes. Millie had now dark skin and brown eyes and Moxxie had pale skin and brown eyes.
"Well, everyone, we're ready." said the Doctor. "Let's go."
The group approached the mansion, looking around for possible exits and/or where Octavia could be. They walked to the check-in.
"The name's Smith, Dr. John Smith. We're invited." The Doctor showed a blank paper to the receptionist.
"An invitation by Mr. Hartfelt?" said the receptionist, surprised. "Come in."
The group went in the mansion, full of people talking.
"What did you show to that guy?" Loona asked.
"Psychic paper, it shows to people whatever you want them to see." the Doctor explained.
"So, what's the plan?" Millie asked.
"Blend in, and if you find Hartfelt, keep observing him." said the Doctor.
"Ahem." Blitzo interjected. "Sorry, Eyebrows, but I'm in charge here."
"So, what's the plan, sir?" Moxxie asked.
"Well, Moxxie, here's my genius plan...We're gonna blend in and look if that asshole comes out!" said Blitzo.
The Doctor, Moxxie and Loona rolled their eyes.
So, they split up in couples: Moxxie and Millie, Blitzo and Stolas, Loona and the Doctor, with the latter investigating Hartfelt and the others blending in the party and looking for Octavia. They ended joining in the various games present in the mansion, like poker (Despite the Imps not knowing how to play).
Then, Hartfelt entered the room.
"There he is!" said Moxxie.
"I'll follow him." said the Doctor.
Outside, Hartfelt was admiring the view, sipping whiskey from his glass.
"An incredible view, isn't it?" the Doctor arrived.
"Yeah." Hartfelt smiled. "Who are you? I'm afraid we haven't met before."
"I'm the Doctor." The Time Lord introduced himself. "I heard a lot about you, Professor Hartfelt. You study Demonlogy, right?"
"Correct." said Hartfelt, "I find it fascinating, these powerful creatures that could rule over us, making deals. Say, Doctor, what do you know about Prince Stolas?"
The Doctor's eyes widened at hearing Stolas' name, but immediately regained composure. "No, I didn't."
"A prince of the Ars Goetia, full of wisdom on several subjects, like astronomy or precious stones." Hartfelt explained.
"What, do you wanna summon him so you can find diamonds easier?" the Doctor asked.
"Oh, no! I don't want to waste his time like tha-" Hartfelt's phone rang. "Excuse me." He went away, but not before the Doctor could attach a bug to the man.
He went to an isolated place, where he could eavesdrop in peace.
"What?" Hartfelt spoke, "A new Demon? Are you sure she's an Ars Goetia?"
"A new Demon...Octavia!" the Doctor thought.
"Okay, I'll come to check." Hartfelt closed the call.
The Doctor rushed back into the mansion, where the I.M.P. crew was waiting for him.
"There he is!" said Loona.
"Where the fuck have you been?! We saw that bastard leaving the mansion!" said Blitzo.
"Yeah, he knows where Via is taken prisoner. Quick, to the TARDIS!" said the Doctor.
The group rushed back to the blue box and as it dematerialised, the chase was on.
Meanwhile, Octavia woke up in a poorly-lit cell made of stone.
"My head..." She moaned, as she stood up. She looked around. "Where...Where am I?"
She heard an annoyed groan coming from the dark other side of the cell.
"Who's there?!" Octavia panicked.
"...Via? Is that you?" A deep, weakened female voice spoke.
Octavia calmed down, recognising that voice. "...Aunt Marchosias?"
A figure came out of the shadows, it was a female wolf-like demon with light black fur, completely yellow eyes, short grey hair and was wearing a tattered military-esque uniform. One particular detail horrified the teenaged demon, Marchosias only had one wing instead of the usual two.
"What...What happened to you?! Where's your other wing?!" She asked.
"Those bastards who captured us ripped it off when I tried to escape..." Marchosias explained. "They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
"N-No, I'm fine." said Octavia. "Where...Are we?"
"In a underground prison, in the middle of a forest." said Marchosias. "Where's your father?"
Octavia looked away. "I...I don't know. Probably still in Hell. I took the Grimoire because I wanted to the see the stars, but it brought me on Earth."
"You did what?!" said Marchosias. "Why would you do that? I'm sure right now Stolas is looking for you everywhere."
"As if!" Octavia scoffed, "He'd rather scream at my mum than spending time with his daughter! He couldn't be bothered looking for me! I just...Just..." She fell to the ground as she broke down in tears. "W-Why does he hates her more than he loves me...?"
Marchosias hugged Octavia gently. "There, there. I know Stolas very well, Via, he may be an idiot sometimes, but he has a good heart. He would give his life if it is to protect you. Trust me: He is coming here, I'm sure, we just have to wait. Do you trust me?"
Octavia nodded slowly, as she wiped her tears.
But suddenly, two cloaked figures entered the room.
"Who are they?!" Octavia panicked.
"Get behind me!" Marchosias ordered. Octavia obliged.
"So that's the new Demon? Hmm, she looks young." One of the figures spoke.
"Irrelevant. Take her away."
"Oh no you won't!" Marchosias growled. She tried to attack the guards but suddenly she fell to the ground, feeling a sharp pain on the leg.
"Let me go!" Octavia tried to free herself, but it
The TARDIS materialised in a forest.
"She should be here nearby." said the Doctor.
"Yeah, I can feel it too," said Loona, sniffing around. "They have brought her here recently, I think."
They walked through the forest following Octavia's scent until they reached a castle-like building.
"A castle?" Moxxie raised an eyebrow in confusion. "It's rather out of place."
"There are two guards outside the entrance, how can we distract them?" said the Doctor.
"I can." said Loona. "I'll go there, distract them, and then you guys whack them from behind."
"Good idea, Loonie!" said Blitzo.
The Doctor raised an eyebrow, "Why should it work? They're adults."
"Huh, hello? Look at me, humans drool all over me in my disguise, they're all the same." said Loona.
"No, they aren't!" the Doctor felt offended. "There are some like that, but Humans aren't all perverts!"
"Enough, please." Stolas politely interrupted. "Via is inside those walls, we must rescue her as soon as possible!"
"...You're right. Come on." said the Doctor.
Loona approached the guards, who were almost immediately lured by Loona's looks. Blitzo quickly went behind them and shot the two.
"Coast is clear! Let's go!" said Blitzo, as the rest of the group went inside.
The Doctor, still flabbergasted by the success of the intrusion, looked at the deceased guards with a look of disgust.
Inside the castle, it was cold and eerie with its walls made of ruined stone and lit by torches.
"Okay, let's split in groups. Moxxie, Millie and Stolas go look for Octavia, she's probably in the dungeon if there's one. Blitzo, Loona and I are gonna investigate the building." said the Doctor. He handed a key to the TARDIS. "When you find and free her, bring her to the TARDIS."
They nodded and the group split up.
"So, what do you wanna investigate about?" Blitzo asked.
"It's about the disappearances that Lethbridge-Whatever told us about, right?" Loona asked.
"Correct." said the Doctor, "If they're kept prisoners, Moxxie, Millie and Stolas will find them. Meanwhile, we're going to check if there are some secrets, like spies within UNIT or stolen documents. We also have to find that Grimoire."
The trio arrived in a elegant-looking office, with a large purple carpet with that same old rotten apple symbol with the words "MORS AD LVCIFERVM" and the acronym "R.O.M" underneath.
"That symbol again..." said the Doctor.
""Mors ad Luciferum"? What does it mean?" Loona asked.
"It's Latin, an ancient Human language. It means "Death to the Morningstar". Whoever Hartfelt and his associates are, they surely aren't fond of the King of Hell." the Doctor explained.
"Come on, let's turn this shitty office upside down before someone finds us." said Blitzo.
While the Hellhound guarded the entrance, the Time Lord and the Imp rummaged through the documents.
Blitzo found something interesting: A UNIT dossier simply titled "Dr. Who"
"Hey." He said. "Found something."
Loona and the Doctor looked at the dossier.
"What..." the Doctor began reading the dossier. It had every single information UNIT had about him, including photos of his past incarnations, from the second to the tenth.
"Who are those people?" Loona asked.
"They're me, old photos of me." the Doctor explained.
The Imp and Hound looked at the Time Lord with confusion.
"The fuck are you talking about?" said Blitzo.
"It's a tricky subject, I'll explain later." said the Doctor. "But look! This dossier has every information on me and my trips to Earth."
There was a section about his companions too. Many familiar names appeared on it, with various dates of birth and occupations before and after they entered the blue box. There were the old ones, like:
Ian Chesterton (19.11.1926) - Science Teacher at Coal Hill School - Joined the Doctor on the 23rd of November 1963
Barbara Chesterton, Neé Wright (16.12.1928-23.05.1993) - History Teacher at Coal Hill School - Joined the Doctor on the 23rd of November 1963 - Died of Cancer
Anthony de' Marconi (01.04.1910-25.12.1947) - Gangster of the de' Marconi Family in New York - Joined the Doctor in 1936 - Died of Overdose
There were also companions from the 70s, like:
Josephine Jones, Neé Grant (15.06.1940) - Assistant of the Doctor at UNIT HQ (1971-73)
Sarah Jane Smith (14.02.1940-25.01.2011) - Journalist - Joined the Doctor in 1974 - Died of Cancer
There were also his most recent human companions, companions that
Rose Tyler (11.07.1986-23.06.2007?) - Former Shop Assistant - Joined the Doctor in 2005 - Disappeared after the Battle of Canary Wharf
Dr. Martha Jones (27.09.1982) - Former Doctor for UNIT - Joined the Doctor after the disappearance of Royal Hope Hospital
Donna Noble (01.04.1973) - Former Secretary at H.C. Clements - Joined the Doctor after the Adipose affair
"Do you know all these people?" Loona asked.
"Yeah, people I used to travel with." said the Doctor.
"So, that Hartfelt guy knows about you?" Blitzo asked.
"It seems so." the Doctor closed the dossier. "Let's go back to the-"
"STAY WHERE YOU ARE, INTRUDERS!" Guards stormed in the office.
Blitzo was going to pull out his gun, but the Doctor stopped him.
"Oh yes, good morning!" He said with a hint of sarcasm. "I'd like you to take me prisoner and see your leader. Along with my two conspirators: Bad Wolf and her father, Brandon Rogers."
"Who?" Blitzo asked.
The guards handcuffed the trio and brought them away.
"Viaaa! Viaaa!" Stolas called for his daughter. "Where are you?!"
Marchosias heard the Goetic prince's voice. "Stolas...? Stolas, over here!"
"Marchosias?" Stolas & Co. arrived at the cell. "Oh, it's so good to see you again! I thought you were dead!"
"Oh please, you know I'm hard to kill." Marchosias scoffed.
"That's Duchess Marchosias?!" said Moxxie, surprised.
"In the flesh." said Marchosias. "Anyway, have you found Via?"
"She... Ain't here?" said Millie.
"No, they brought her upstairs to do who-knows-what." said Marchosias.
"Let's get you out of the-"
"Before you try to use magic, it doesn't work." Marchosias interrupted Stolas. "These bars are fucking resistent."
"We need to find a key, then." said Stolas.
The group heard footsteps.
"Someone's coming, hide!" said Marchosias.
M&M and Stolas hid as a guard arrived in the dungeon.
"I heard a voice, are you talking with someone else?!" The guard asked.
"Oh, no no no! I feel lonely, that's all." said Marchosias.
"Lonely, huh...?" The guard grinned. "Maybe I can help you with th-"
Moxxie shot the guard.
"Nice shot, Imp," Marchosias smirked.
"Thank you, Your Highness," said Moxxie. Millie inspected the corpse.
"Found the key!" She said. She opened the cell.
"Ah...Free at last!" Marchosias smiled.
"Can you walk? You look heavily injured." Stolas asked, worried.
"Don't worry, they're nothing but a scratch." said Marchosias.
"Little ones, bring Marchosias back to the police box." said Stolas as he handed the key to Moxxie. "I'll go find Via and the Grimoire."
"Are you sure, Your Highness?" Moxxie asked, "This place is dangerous."
"No need to worry about me, little Imp. Now, go!" said Stolas.
Meanwhile, Loona, Blitzo and the Doctor were tied to a pole. Hartfelt entered the room.
"Ah, Doctor, how nice to see you again." He said.
"Can't say the same for me." said the Doctor. "Nice place, a fan of the Middle Ages?"
"Oh yes, always wanted to have a castle." Hartfelt chuckled, "It's a perfect place for my studies, from a period where Humanity feared Demons, when we should worship the-"
"-Okay, nobody gives a shit about your Demon fetish, asshole." Blitzo interrupted. "Where are the kid and the Grimoire?"
"The owl Demon? Don't worry, she's fine." said Hartfelt, "We only need her Ars Goetia blood, then...I'll think of it. For a Demon she's quite pretty, I'll let the boys have some fun with her..."
"You bastard..." Loona growled.
"What's the point of all this? Why do you need the blood of a child?!" the Doctor asked.
"To fulfill Mr. Saxon's wish: To take over the Underworld. For the ritual, we need the blood of one specimen for every species in Hell. Then, all of Creation will be covered in darkness!"
The Doctor sighed in annoyance. "Of course it's him behind all of this..."
"Who's Saxon?" Loona asked.
"An idiot, ignore it." said the Doctor.
"You seem to know him, Doctor." said Hartfelt. "Well, I know you well too...Especially what you did in the Time War."
The Doctor's eyes widened in shock, for an instant, his halo became visible.
"The fuck is a Time War?" Blitzo asked.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." the Doctor lied.
"Oh, you have. Mr. Saxon told me about it. How you appeared in the fall of Arcadia, how you annihilated fleets without moving a finger...How you killed all your people."
The Doctor's disguise began glitching, going from his Huma to Seraph form. His breath was faster and pupils became smaller.
"Are...Are you okay?" Loona asked, worried.
"I find it...Incredible," said Hartfelt. "You really put quite the stunt, didn't you? I admire your courage for murdering in all cool blood all your enemies and your people...Even your fami-"
Hartfelt, unfortunately, couldn't finish his sentence...Because he was decapitated by the Doctori in a single swish.
He freed himself and two Hellborns, his Angel form was revealed...However, it looked different. It looked more...Avian.
More guards fully armed stormed the room to take down the trio, or rather, the Doctor.
Fatal mistake.
Meanwhile, Stolas was back in the castle, calling for his daughter, until he heard a response.
"Dad...? Dad, I'm here!"
"Hang on there, dear, I'm coming!" Stolas followed Octavia's voice through the halls. He found her in lab-ish room, struggling to free herself. Stolas immediately freed her and hugged her as he reverted to his Demon form.
"Dad... I'm so sorry." said Octavia.
"I'm just glad to see you safe. They didn't hurt you, did they?" said Stolas.
"No, surprisingly, they just took some of my blood." said Octavia.
"Oh, what would possess you to do such a thing? You know I haven't taught you spells like this yet!" said Stolas.
"I...I just wanted to see the Stars." said Octavia, looking away.
"The stars? Right, Azathoth's Tears!" Stolas gasped. "Oh, my sweet Via, I'm so-"
Octavia hugged him again. "It's okay, Dad." She smiled, "You're here now."
"Now, let's find that Grimoire." said Stolas.
"No need." Blitzo arrived in the room holding the book and all covered in blood. "Found it in the fucker's office. Come on, the Doctor is waiting for us outside."
"Doctor...Who?" Octavia asked.
"You'll find it out soon, my owlette." Stolas chuckled. "Come on, your aunt Marchosias is waiting, too."
They arrived at the TARDIS, with everyone waiting for the two.
Octavia's eyes widened at the sight of the Doctor, recognising him.
"You..." She said softly, but stopped when she saw the Doctor winking at her.
"Via, I'd like to introduce you the Doctor." said Stolas, "If it wasn't for his help we wouldn't manage to find you."
"HEY!" Blitzo was offended, "What about us?!"
"Of course, you too and your colleagues have been of tremendous help, Blitzy." Stolas chuckled.
"Hello, I'm the Doctor." The Doctor smiled. "Sorry if your first trip on Earth was...Traumatic. I swear it's a really nice place."
"Well...It's surely better than Hell." said Octavia.
"Now then, let's get home." said the Doctor as he opened the door of the TARDIS.
Octavia's mind imploded at the sight of the TARDIS interior.
"There you are, you two." Marchosias approached the group. "Took you long enough."
"So...What do you think?" the Doctor asked the teenage Demon.
"It's...It's...AMAZING!" Octavia jumped in a seemingly out-of-character joy. She ran up and down the stairs. The group was surprised by the moody teen's reaction (except the Doctor, Stolas and Marchosias, who were very amused).
"I take that you like it." said the Doctor.
"I love it! It's like it came out of those stories I read as a kid!" said Octavia.
"Well, you said you wanted to see the stars? Well, Here we go!"
The TARDIS dematerialised and materialised in another place.
"Open the door." said the Doctor to Octavia. She obliged, revealing a wonderful nebula.
"Ooh, how delightful! A nebula!" Stolas commented.
"We're in deep outer space right now. It's not a meteor shower, but it's pretty nonetheless." said the Doctor.
"Yeah, it definitely is," said Marchosias as Loona took a photo of the nebula with her phone.
As Stolas and Octavia admired the nebula sitting on the roof of the TARDIS, Marchosias approached the Doctor, who was reading a book.
"So, you're the Doctor." She said.
"That's me." said the Doctor. "You're Octavia's aunt."
"Well, I'm not exactly her aunt, it's an honourary thing." said Marchosias, "I took care of her when things got heated at home when she was a kid."
"Oh, does she have problems at home? Stolas seems a nice guy." said the Doctor.
"He is, it's the wife that's the problem," said Marchosias. "I heard about you, you know? You helped the Princess of Hell in repelling those Angels at that Hotel." She chuckled, "You're one crazy bastard, aren't you?"
"I suppose I am." the Doctor looked away. "If you excuse me." He left the console room.
Loona noticed it and followed him back to his room.
After waiting some minutes, the Hellhound knocked on the door.
"Who's there?" the Doctor spoke.
"Oh, huh, it's... It's me, Loona." She said.
"Come in." said the Doctor. She went in the room.
The Doctor's bedroom had a cozy athmosphere, with the white-and-blue walls, the large bed and a photo of Susan.
The Doctor was there on the bed, looking tired.
"You need something?" He asked.
Loona took a deep breath. "Are...Are you okay? Since we got captured you...Acted weird. And even your slau-"
"No." the Doctor interrupted. "I am not fine. I haven't been fine in a while. Wherever I go I bring chaos and destruction. I ruined so many lives, even my friends'...And now, look at me! I snapped and brutally massacred hundreds of people!"
"They were cultists, they deserv-"
"NO THEY DIDN'T!" the Doctor shouted, as eyes appeared on his wings. "Nobody deserves what I did to them! Since I regenerated and woke up in Heaven after the battle at the Hazbin Hotel...I don't think I know who I am anymore. Look at me, Loona, am I an Angel? Am I still a Time Lord? Or am I just a monster? I feel like I'm going crazy..." He turned on the other side of the bed. "As I thought, Ramiel was wrong...I am not a Good Man. I deserve to rot in Hell, with the scum of Humanity."
Loona felt pity for the Doctor. From where she grew up long before meeting Blitzo, she couldn't permit herself to show weakness or she would have been used by others. Hell was supposed to be a place where Humans get punished for their sins, but non-aristocrat Hellborns weren't doing great either.
She smoked a cigarette. "I...Don't think you're a bad person. You're definitely better than most of the people here in Hell. Sure, I guess you have your skeletons in the closet, but it doesn't mean you're an asshole. You're trying, that's all. I know Blitzo, if he decided to help you cover it up, there must be a reason."
The Doctor hugged Loona, causing her to blush profusely.
"H-Hey!"
"Thanks, Loona. I really needed it." said the Doctor.
Loona smirked. "C-Cool."
The Time Lord broke the hug. "You know, I was thinking...About we hang out?"
"Hmm?"
"Yeah! You and me, having some fun on Earth! Octavia can come too, that girls need to relax after today." said the Doctor. "I wanna show you that Earth is a nice place!"
Loona thought about it for a moment and smirked. "Sounds fun. I'm in."
The Doctor smiled. He stood up. "Come on, we should have arrived by now."
The two left the room. The Doctor was happy once again and Loona was excited about her "date" with the Time Lord, they (especially the Doctor) really need some relax. But knowing him, shenanigans will definitely occur.
