(Hunting Season, Part 3)
(The Hellhound Adoption Center, at the Sloth Ring...)
Moxxie opened his eyes to a golden sky as his body laid on the bale of hay. He rose up, his head turning toward the buildings of the city of the Sloth Ring. He could see homeless imps, hellhounds, and crackheads settling in tents just close to the curbsides of the streets. The wooden wagon then suddenly made an immediate stop causing Moxxie to fall back onto the hay. ''We're here.'' The husband imp said. The imp couple have stopped in front of the hellhound adoption center. ''fuck...'' Loona whispered nervously. As they all began to head inside, a nearby drone from Overlord Vox buzzed in the air. After its camera zoomed in on the two targets, it ascended back up to the sky and vanished.
The loud barking of hellhounds echoed as Loona and Moxxie followed behind the imp couple as they approached the main counter. The husband pressed down onto the call bell. ''Hello? Anyone ere'? We would like to adopt a hellhound!'' He spoke. Loona nervously crossed her arms. Moxxie noticed, seeing the sudden melancholy in her expression. ''Uh, Loona? Are you okay?''
''Huh? oh, yeah, I'm fine.'' She said, moving back the hair that blocked half of her face. ''Just, don't worry, okay?''
Moxxie then squinted his eyes suspiciously. But before he could say anything else, the call bell rang again. ''Dammit. well, there's seems to be no one workin' ere' so, guess we'll just have to come back tomorrow some other time I suppose.'' The husband imp said. ''Well, that's a darn tootin' shame! I really wanted a puppy sugarplum.'' The wife said to his husband. ''Great, can we leave now? It smells like dog piss and depression in here.'' Moxxie said.
The imp couple then exchanged each other looks. ''Well, I don't think you'll be gettin' out ere' anytime soon.'' The husband imp said. The wife then approached behind Moxxie, pulling out and raising a tranquilizer gun. Moxxie suddenly turned around. ''Hey! What the fuck are you doing with that?'' Moxxie said. ''I thought this was just for a puppy!''
''It, fucking, is.'' The wife said. She fired a dart onto Moxxie's neck. And just like that, he collapsed onto the hard squared floor. ''Mox!'' Loona said. Two darts suddenly hit Loona's back. She struggled as she tried to reach one of her arms back to pull one of them out. She turned to the husband, her vision becoming blurry as she began to lose consciousness. ''You...mother...fucker.'' She fell backwards, falling on top of Moxxie as they were put into a deep sleep.
Moxxie's face twitched as he felt a drop of saliva on his right cheek. His eyes opened wide to the sight of an ugly pug peering down at him. With a loud shrill scream, he crawled himself back to the bars of the cell that he was in. Behind him he can hear the loud barking of hellhounds in the adoption center. ''Loona!'' Moxxie raised his head and cried out.
Loona slowly raised her head up as she began to collect her surroundings. She was sitting on a chair inside an office. Pinned on the walls were photos of hellhounds who registered out of the adoption center with their new parents. All of them gleaming with happiness as their tails wagged with glee. As Loona continue to scan around the room, her eyes quickly stopped at the photo of her and Blitzo. As her brow quickly raised up, one of her ears twitched as she heard the door unlock in front of her. It was the imp couple from before, walking through as one of them closed the door. ''It's okay, 'ittle one. You belong to us now.'' The husband smiled. ''We can be one big happy family.'' Loona still felt a bit groggy from the sleeping dart. She tried to move one of her arms only to realize they were tied back together with a rope while her legs were cuffed on the bottom of the chair itself. ''Can't have ya runnin' from us now, it's too dangerous out ere' you know. Too many crackheads.'' The husband remarked. He then lit a cigarette that was between his two fingers, releasing out a puff of smoke afterwards. ''Can I pet er' sugar bun?'' The wife asked, jumping up and down. The husband chuckled. ''Go right ahead.'' As her hand got close, Loona snarled as her fur raised up. She then violently bit onto the wife's arm, causing the imp to howl in pain as she struggled to pull free. Loona finally let go, letting the imp fall back onto the floor on her ass. ''Ah shit, shit, it fuckin' bit me!'' She screamed, covering the teared wound on her arm. ''Augh fuck!'' The husband laughed as the wife retaliated, hitting Loona across the face with her other hand. ''Stupid bitch!''
Loona then turned her head, glaring back at the wife. ''You're going to regret that.'' The imp then angrily hissed as her yellow pupils brightened. Suddenly, a cylinder-shaped grenade crashed through the glass pane of the door. Rolling across the floor, it released smoke into the air. The imp couple let out screams as one of them struggle to unlock the door. Loona tried to break free again as the smoke to cover her field of vision. Quickly exiting through the doorway, the imp couple toppled over each other as smoke came out from the office. Standing at the other side of the hallway filled with the barking of orphan hellhounds, was Bucky the Winter Soldier. ''Who in the fuck is that?'' The wife said, one eyebrow raised. ''I don't know, but he dead meat.'' The Husband responded. He quickly pulled out a gun from his brown holster only for a titanium shield to hit him. It went into a nearby wall, pinning the husband with it. He let out a shrill cry of agony as the shield's edge was stuck into his right shoulder blade. Any struggle to move only caused more waves of pain as it teared his flesh. The wife turned her head back to Bucky, panicking as she quickly tried to grab the gun that was on the floor. A foot suddenly came down onto her hand as her eyes quickly met with the aiming barrel of a shotgun. Bucky pulled the trigger, blasting the imp's head like a watermelon. Moxxie nervously crawled under a bunk bed as he watched the bounty hunter step over the dead body that remained. ''Fuck you, Fuck you, you bitch!'' The husband snarled at Bucky. He raised his blessed shotgun and fired straight into the imp's chest. Black blood gushed out and stained the squared white tiles of the floor. With the body now dangling limply, Bucky pulled back the titanium shield letting the imp sluggishly drop against the wall. Putting the shield onto the back of his suit, the Winter Soldier approached the doorway as the smoke cleared up. Loona was no longer on the chair, leaving the rope and cuffs on the floor. Moxxie kept himself quiet as Bucky turned around. Moxxie felt a hand touch him by the leg. The ugly was crouching down trying to pull Moxxie out. He screamed loudly, using his other hind leg to kick the hellhound back. Bucky quickly turned his head to the cell where the screaming was. As the ugly pulled Moxxie out, and before Bucky could aim, Loona rushed out of the doorway. She swiftly swung a claw upward, cutting through the barrel of Bucky's blessed shotgun as a holy light lingered out. Loona then jumped up with a swift kick hitting Bucky on the chest. ''Loona!'' Moxxie said with a thankful smile. ''Boy, is this the first time I'm glad to see yo-''
''Can it fatty and find a place to hide!'' Loona snapped. She then focused on Bucky as he removed the titanium shield from the back of his suit. He placed it over his left arm with his other clenching into a fist.
Loona raised her knuckles. ''Let's get this fucking done, tin man!''
Loona then lurched forward for a punch. Bucky quickly raised the shield as her fist collided onto it. Loona's eyes widened as Bucky unemotionally stared back at her. She ducked her head as he tried to swing his titanium arm at her. Loona tried to swing a sharp claw again only for Bucky to block her arm with the edge of his shield. He raised it, violently uppercutting Loona on the chin as spit flied out from her mouth. ''Loona!'' Moxxie said as he hid under the bed still fighting off the pug. Bucky lurched forward, swiftly punching Loona across the cheek causing her to fumble back. Bucky flipped a knife, swinging at Loona as she had gotten back up. The knife cut and slashed wounds through her fur. With one final kick on the stomach, Loona fell back onto the floor. Moxxie could only watch in panic as Loona laid on the floor. She groaned in pain as she began to bleed from her wounds. She turned over onto her back as Bucky stood above her. He stared down, raising the titanium shield for one fatal blow. A sudden bright red flash emitted, causing Moxxie to block his eyes with one arm raised at his face. What stood over Loona was now nothing but a statue of stone. Behind the frozen Bucky was a portal with Millie and Stolas walking through. ''Where's Moxxie? Is he okay?'' Millie asked frantically. ''I'm in here.'' Moxxie said, slowly crawling out from under the bunk bed. ''Oh, thank goodness.''
Stolas walked pass the statue of Bucky, over to Loona. ''We must tend to your wounds immediately.'' As Millie unlocked the cell, Moxxie embraced her with a warm hug. ''Who was that Moxxie?'' Millie asked about the statue of the man.
''That was a bounty hunter, sent to kill us.'' Moxxie said.
''What? I - I don't understand.'' Millie said. ''Who would-''
'Listen, Millie, we're ''wanted'' now. We're all targets.'' Moxxie placed his hands onto Millie's shoulders. ''And they will stop at nothing until we're dead.''
''You guys fucking coming or what?'' Loona asked as Stolas helped her walk over to the portal.
