Stolas began to pack everything Octavia needed for the journey toward the gluttony ring. There they would rent a room in a hotel until the heat dies down. That is, if it ever does. Pentagram city is just simply no longer safe for Octavia or the I.M.P. With past enemies starting a full search for them, the last thing Stolas wants to see is his own daughter being caught in the middle of the crossfire. As Stolas closed the last of the luggage, he heard a knock on the door. ''Octavia?'' ''Dad?'' Octavia stepped through the opened doorway. ''there's someone outsi- uh, Dad? what's all this?''. Octavia noticed all of the luggage laying on the bedroom floor. ''Octavia, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the gluttony ring with the others. It's not safe here anymore.'' Stolas said solemnly.

''But-''

''BeezleBub already sent out a helicopter.'' Stolas said. ''You will have to spend time in a hotel there. She will take good care of you.'' Then, tears began to fall down from Octavia's cheeks. She collapsed down to her knees sobbing. Stolas lips quivered as he went down to hug her. He let her sit on his lap, putting her head over his shoulder as he comforted her in a hug. ''Oh, my dear sweet daughter, I am so sorry...'' Stolas said brokenly. Octavia then sniffed through her tears. ''I love you dad...''

''I love you too, Octavia...''

Then, inside the dining room, the I.M.P gang all collectively gasped. ''Are you crazy?'' Moxxie said, flabbergasted. ''If I turn myself in, maybe Lucifer can spare you all.'' Stolas spoke gravely. ''My life, for all of yours.'' Loona, Moxxie, and Millie then exchanged worried looks. ''But...they'll kill you.'' Millie said. Stolas then sighed. ''Then I'd have finally paid for all of my mistakes as prince of the Ars Goetia.'' Stolas then used his magic to open a portal for Octavia and the I.M.P. gang. It revealed the rooftop of the palace. The hellhound and small little imps then took their chances to step through the portal. As Octavia lifted up the luggage, she glumly took one last glance at her father. ''Goodbye...'' She spoke, her eyes wet. She walked through as the portal finally closed behind her.

Time passed as Stolas gravely looked out from one of the tall windows of his palace gazing upon the stars. How could he be so stupid? Out of all of the denizens of hell, he chose an imp to be his new, found love. He could have found someone else. Then none of this would have not happened at all. Sudden whistling quickly broke his gaze as he turned his head toward the hallway that led into the huge dining room. A black, cloaked figure slowly stepped his way toward the prince. ''Well, well.'' He spoke. ''If it isn't Prince Stolas, in the flesh...'' Lobo then revealed his blessed, curved sickles as a twisted smile spread across his mouth.

Stolas firmly stood his ground. ''You won't find them here. They have already left...'' He sassed.

''Is that so?'' Crimson said as he walked out from Octavia's bedroom. He then left out a puff of smoke from his mouth. ''That means my son is still out there runnin' with those fucking hoo-has.'' Suddenly, a blessed angelic rope wrapped itself around Stolas. It held onto him tight as he was quickly pulled down to the floor on his back. Struggling to get it off, he then noticed Martha standing above him. She chuckled. ''Ain't nowhere to hide now lanky birdie...'' She said with a crazed grin on her face. She pointed a shotgun at his face only for Lobo to then grab it by its barrel. ''Hey! What gives?''

''You idiot! We're supposed to keep him alive!'' Lobo yelled. ''By the orders of the Ars Goetia court! It's not him we're after!''

''Oh...'' Martha said.

Lobo then sighed frustratedly.

''Come on, hurry up!'' Keenie said by the doorway.

''I'm coming, I'm coming.'' Collin spoke.

The cherubs then made their way toward the other villains.

Crimson sneered at their holy presence. Collin backed away and hid behind Keenie who had a deadpan expression on her face.

''So, where are the others?'' Martha asked Stolas.

Stolas nervously stared silently as the villains all looked down upon him.

''Uh, well, they- uh''

''They-uh''

''Well?'' Crimson said in utter frustration.

''They went out somewhere. That's far as I know.'' Stolas answered with a nod. Then, Crimson then violently forced a foot down on his shoulder, causing him to cry out in agony. ''Perhaps we ain't fuckin' bein' clear enough to ya'''.

''Where the fuck are they?'' Crimson snarled angrily. He forced his foot deeper into his shoulder blade, causing black blood to ooze out onto the floor.

(Meanwhile, at the rooftop of the palace...)

Millie sat over the ledge as Moxxie impatiently walked around in circles. With a quick glance of his wristwatch, he continued to walk around. By any minute, by any moment, the helicopter would be arriving to take them to the Gluttony ring. ''I have to go back.'' Octavia said. ''I can't just leave him here.'' She was in a cradled position, sniffing as she continued to wipe the tears away from her purple eyes. Loona then sat down with her. ''He's only doing what is best for you.''

''We don't have any other choice.''

Then, Loona's ears quickly perked up to the sound of an approaching helicopter. They all raised their heads up to a bright yellow, private helicopter hovering in the air. As it descended toward the ledge of the palace, Vortex opened one of its side doors. ''Come on guys, hop in!'' He then let out a howl into the air. Moxxie and Millie jumped up and down happily while smiles formed on Octavia and Loona.

Then, on the other side of the helicopter, the Winter Soldier silently stood on the rooftop of a nearby building. He quickly ran and swiftly jumped off the rooftop. His titanium arm quickly caught onto the other right ledge of the helicopter. He hoists himself up, causing Vortex to turn around surprised. ''Woah, there man, didn't see you there.''

Loona quickly cried out with widened eyes. ''Tex!''. Bucky then violently struck Vortex across the face with the side of his shield. The impact caused him to tumble backward. With a kick on his chest, Vortex let out a high-pitched scream as he fell out of the opened side door, descending down to the concrete street that waited for him below. The helicopter pilot quickly turned his head only for a knife to dig deep into the side of his throat causing black blood to gush out. As the control of the helicopter went haywire, Bucky made a quick exit for the left side door, swiftly jumping off and landing on the rooftop where the I.M.P gang was. ''Shit.'' Loona uttered.

''Isn't he supposed to be a fucking statue?'' Millie cried out. The Winter Soldier rose up, his eyes noticing the terrified goetia that stood with the wanted assassins. Loona quickly took notice of this and growled ferociously at Bucky. As the explosion of the helicopter broke the silence, the I.M.P gang split into groups as Bucky quickly fired shots of holy bullets. They struck the concrete as Millie and Moxxie made cover behind the rooftop statue of a goetia. Octavia hyperventilated as she hid behind a rooftop air conditioner. Moxxie slowly rose his head up for a quick gander only for another shot of a holy bullet to almost hit him. It chipped off a piece of stone from the statue, causing it to fall and roll just near Loona's reach. Bucky reloaded, pulling out the black magazine and placing another one into his gun. He then silently stepped forward toward the goetia statue. As he raised his gun again, Loona quickly threw the piece knocking the gun out of Bucky's hand. Bucky then turned his head as Loona rushed towards him. He suddenly threw his shield which Loona dodged out of its path causing it to instead hit and wedge into the neck of the nearby statue. Loona lurch forward at Bucky with a bent knee to his chest causing him to fall backwards and hit the rooftop ledge on his back. He quickly blocked Loona's punch with his titanium arm striking her across the face with his other fist. As Loona and the Winter Soldier fought relentlessly, Moxxie helped Millie up to grab the shield that was stuck in the goetia statue. With the fiber of her strength, Millie screamed as she pulled the wedged shield off causing the decapitated head to fall and scatter into pieces as it hit the ground.

(Meanwhile...)

As Lucifer Morningstar put back the half-emptied wine glass onto a plate held by his nearby imp butler, a purple portal opened much to his surprise and the goetia family's. Prince Stolas, wrapped in an angelic rope, stepped through it as it closed behind him. ''Stolas...'' Lucifer Morningstar spoke. He then snapped his fingers, signaling the guests to leave the room as he and the goetia family were to attend to him with personal matters.

Prince Stolas went down on his knees. ''Paimon, my father, I have failed you.''

''I'm sorry...''

''An apology won't undue the trouble that you've caused for this family.'' Paimon frowned. ''You cost us our honor. Our name...''

''And you, even had the audacity to cheat on your own rightful spouse.'' Paimon gestured to Stella. ''We'll settle this by court. You will soon be stripped of your duties as prince of the Ars Goetia. And any compensation will be handed over to your poor wife...'' Paimon spoke gravely.

Poor?

Poor wife?

''No...'' Stolas said. He stood up. ''For your information, it is STELLA that should be giving me compensation. She never gave two shits about me!'' Stolas angrily stepped forth at Paimon. ''I have done everything I could to provide for her and Octavia!''

''Where are my needs?''

''What about what I want?''

''Or does that fucking not matter to you, FATHER?''

Stolas angrily stared back at Paimon as silence filled the throne room. The prince then let out an exhale. ''You had duties as your rightful place as prince of the Ars Goetia. And those duties were expected to be fulfilled. That was your responsibility. The grimoire was your responsibility.'' Paimon spoke firmly. ''But instead, you decided to give it to a low imp in exchange for some desperate relationship with him. And in turn, you have given up with what this family has given you!'' Paimon angrily yelled, his eyes glowing brightly. ''You are no son of MINE!'' Stolas then stepped back, his face in disbelief.

Lucifer Morningstar then clapped slowly. ''I have to say, that was quite the show. I haven't been this entertained since eons.''

''But...''

Lucifer Morningstar snapped his fingers causing the angelic rope to magically tighten around Stolas. ''I'm afraid this show needs to reach its finale!''

Goetia guards began to surround Stolas. ''Take him away.''

''Wait!'' Stolas said.

''There is - there is something important I have to say first, Luci...''

Andrealphus and Stella then looked at each other.

''Alright.'' Lucifer Morningstar said. ''What might that be?''

''I'm willing to turn myself in, but you have to call off your bounty hunters.''

''I fear that she might get hurt...''

''Please...''

''For her own sake, I beg of you...''

Lucifer then began to give it some thought. But then...

''Oh, Stolas. I wished that truly mattered.'' Lucifer smiled. ''But you chose to endanger her...'' Then the goetia guards took hold of the angelic rope around his body, pulling him away from the throne room. ''No, no you can't do this!'' He pleaded. ''You can't!'' As the doors finally closed behind them, Lucifer Morningstar began to take another sip from his wine glass as pleas from Stolas continue to still be heard from the hallway of the palace.
