Chapter 3: Commercial Shoot

Years ago…

Coming home was Blitz, who quietly pulled another woman into the house with him. She giggled as Blitz threw her onto the couch.

"Ooh, getting a little forward, are we?" she asked. The woman was a succubus, who had long white hair, hot-pink skin, horns with black tips, and a pink streak on her hair. She has yellow eyes with red irises with long black eyelashes, and black lips. She wore a strapless, sparkling purple mini-dress that fit her hourglass figure and was taller than Blitz. She also had a long tail with a heart-shaped tip.

"Forward enough to what I'm about to do to you on this couch," Blitz said as he smiled with a purr while he and his lady friend made out with each other on the couch. Their tails twirled around as they made out, roaming their hands all over their bodies, feeling up each other…

"Oh, you sly devil!" she said as she grabbed Blitz, toppling over the couch as she raised him up to pin him against the wall. She gave him a kiss and he kissed her back. Their tongues intertwined as Blitz's hands held around her hips, roaming around her back as they made out. The succubus woman pushed him back with her kiss as the two tried to dominate each other.

"Daddy?"

The two paused, hearing the voice of Loona calling for Blitz. The woman turned to him. "You have a kid?!" she whispered.

"I-I didn't think she'd wake up!" Blitz responded quietly. "But… yeah, I have a kid."

She sighed. "And when were you going to tell me you have a kid?"

"Okay, so it may have slipped my mind," Blitz admitted, the two staying quiet while Loona continued to call for him.

"Daddy? Is that you?"

Blitz turned to the succubus, the moment becoming awkward. "So… you want to meet her?"

She sighed. "Well… it's not like we can continue this anymore, can we?"

Blitz led her to Loona's room, where Blitz opened the door. "Hey, Loony, I'm here," he reassured her as he walked up to her bed. "Everything alright?"

"Yeah," Loona responded. "The babysitter ended up sleeping in." She pointed to the babysitter, an imp teen who was passed out on the chair with a storybook. "We had a lot of fun."

"Well you've tired her out," Blitz commented. "Oh, um, I did bring someone daddy knows and she's, um, going to spend the night here."

"Really?" Loona asked as she noticed the woman at the door.

The woman looked at the young Hellpup awkwardly, giving her a wave. "Heya, kid," she said. "I'm a… special friend of your dad's."

"Really?" Loona asked, looking a little shy. "I'm Loona."

"Verosika Mayday," Verosika introduced with a friendly smile. "Nice to meet you, Loona."


Present Day.

At the Triton Resort, Loona was in the kitchen grabbing orders.

"Alright, come on! Tables three, five, and eight are waiting for their orders!" Loona declared as she pushed a cart, with plates of food. "Come on, Frenchy!"

"I'm working on it!" Frenchy the succubi chef said while sprinkling in the spices. "I'm just adding a dash of love in this soup!"

Loona rolled her eyes before getting a plate handed to her. "I'll be back for the rest!" she said as she headed out of the kitchen. It was looking quite busy in the dining room.

"Here's your order, sir," Loona said as she handed the plate.

"Thanks," spoke the demon who proceeded to eat his food.

Loona then moved on to another table. "Here's your order, Mr. Belushi," she told the once famous comedy actor, who was now a green ghost resembling Slimer.

"Yes… finally!" Belushi said before he began to eat like a glutton.

Disturbed, Loona slowly backed away as she went to serve another table. "Here's your order, Mr. Taft."

"Finally, say where's the gravy?" asked former president William Howard Taft, who appeared to be riding on a bathtub with legs. "I can't enjoy my meal without the gravy bowl!"

"Uh… I'll get right to it, sir!" Loona replied while heading to the kitchen.

Once Loona came back with the gravy bowl, she heard the sound of Crystal's voice. "Hello, everyone!" Crystal spoke up, sitting on stage with a ukulele and microphone. "Back when I was alive, I used to sing this with my hippy group during the sexual revolution, so I may be a bit rusty with the lyrics," she said as she strummed her instrument and started to sing. "They say you're a drowner, and we're part by the sea. But I can keep you floating, if you just hold on to me…"

It was then the music switched to an upbeat tone and the guests hollered when Crystal set aside her ukulele. "Come on, jump in! The ocean's perfect, so are you! You can be a mermaid too!"

The guests were entranced by Crystal's singing, as was Loona. Though nobody was more entranced than Katya, who was also in the dining room. She couldn't take her eyes off Crystal.

"Dive down deep beneath the sea," Crystal sang as she felt a groove on while holding on to the microphone. "We got neutral buoyancy! It's a mermaid orgy! An underwater mermaid orgy~!"

"Let's destroy the patriarchy, it's an un-der-wa-ter mer-maid orgy!"

Then a slow temple played as Kanya began to move to the front while Crystal continued to sing. "Moonlit waters so warm and crystal clear, our love is endless, and time disappears…"

Crystal looked into the audience and spotted Kanya. For a moment she and Crystal locked eyes and shared a smile. "Kisses and caresses, that last eternally. We can rest in peace in the Pride Ring, if you don't let go of me!"

"It's a mermaid orgy! Anything goes at the orgy!" Crystal sang her heart out while the audience clapped and cheered "If you're hungry, there's pierogi, at the un-der-wa-ter mer-maid orgy~!"

"It's an orgy~! An underwater mermaid orgy~! Time to say arrivederci to the underwater mermaid orgy~!"

The crowd cheered as Crystal took a bow. Loona joined in on the clapping as well… before she heard Taft complaining about his gravy and she remembered her job.


Meanwhile, in another part of Pride, Blitz and Moxxie were on a job… that ended them in the middle of a shoot out.

"Reload! Reload!" Moxxie cried out as Blitz handed him some ammo. After reloading, Moxxie held his gun up, shooting back at the gang shooting at them, all Sinners and demons who kept shooting at the two imps who were hiding behind a wrecked car.

"Keep shooting at them!" shouted a white furry Sinner with flaming white hair, blue eyes with a red hole, and a skeletal face. He wore a crimson bodysuit that is sleeveless, with his white, sugary arms with red cuffs, and red pants with black boots. "Let them know they made a mistake in targeting the White Flame's gang!"

White Flame grabbed hold of a bag of cocaine and sucked it into his red hole for a nose. After sucking it in, his eyes changed to red and his arms burst into white flames. Next thing Blitz and Moxxie knew, he was shooting out balls of flame towards the car. Blitz and Moxxie stopped shooting, as they had to quickly dodge the flames that knocked over the car.

"Ah fuck! He's cocaine powered!" Blitz exclaimed.

"Sir, that's in his dossier Mr. Khan sent us!" Moxxie shouted while bringing out a grenade, throwing at the gang.

The grenade exploded, but White Flame just jumped up using his flames. His gang, however, were unfortunate to get caught in the explosion. Some were killed, while others were either suffering from third-degree burns or managed to survive and continue shooting.

"You know, I'm almost starting to miss prison!" Blitz shouted as he brought out his black, twin gatling guns. He shot at the gang while Moxxie snuck away, keeping out of sight while keeping a knife and gun in light.

"You can't take me! Because I am the White Flame!" the Sinner declared, bursting flames from his hands. "Every cell of my being burns with white hot dust! Cocaine is my god! And I am the living instrument of its will!" he declared while sniffing more bags of cocaine and shooting out white flames at Blitz.

"And people call me crazy!" Blitz declared while throwing a grenade at White Flame, who shot his flames at it in response, causing them to explode.

The impact of the explosion caused some nearby crates in the parking lot to fall down. They fell onto Moxxie, who looked up as they crashed down around him. "AW CRUMBS!" he shouted as he tried to avoid getting hit by them. Luckily, the crates didn't crash into him… but the white powder that fell out of those crates did. "The powder… aw no…" he said while he ended up accidentally sniffing the white stuff floating around him… and his eyes then grew big.

"Whoahohoho…" Moxxie chuckled as he held up his weapons up, seeing the rest of White Flame's gang surrounding him. "You think you can take me on?!" he shouted. He then started to move faster than the gang members could see him. Bullets went flying, with Moxxie also stabbing anyone who got too close.

He looked over to White Flame, who was still burning things while Blitz fled from his attacks. The small imp hopped up onto some creates quickly as he aimed his guns at him. White Flame turned to him, about to shoot more flames at him, but Moxxie shot him and knocked him off balance.

"Oof!" White Flame cried out while Moxxie ran forward with his twin blades, inserting them into his chest. "GAH!" he shouted while Moxxie continued to stab him down.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAA!" Moxxie maniacally laughed while gutting White Flame. He stabbed his arms and then at his face and while this wouldn't kill White Flame, it was far from pleasant.

Blitz popped his head up, seeing Moxxie stabbing White Flame over and over again. Looking concerned, he walked over to the little imp. "Uh… Mox… are you alright?"

"IMMA HANKERING FOR SOME GUTS OF MY ENEMIES!" Moxxie declared insanely, still under the influence of the cocaine.

Blitz backed away a little. "This is going to be a problem…" he commented while watching Moxxie continue to stab White Flame repeatedly.


Later, at Shere Khan's office, Shere Khan was seeing Blitz and Moxxie in front of him, Moxxie still recovering from the effects of the cocaine.

"So, I take it that the mission… went well?" Shere Khan asked, noticing Moxxie's condition.

"Well, we got the goods," Blitz said. "Though Moxxie got a bit too close to it."

"The important thing is that both of you are alive at least," Shere Khan said. "Cause I got another job for you."

"Yeah, got it, but uh, let me have a moment with my partner first," Blitz said while taking Moxxie aside to have a private conversation.

"What is it, sir?" Moxxie asked him.

"Look," Blitz said while turning to Moxxie. "I think you'll have to sit this next job out, Mox."

"What?!" Moxxie exclaimed before wincing and clutching his head. "Oooh… headache. But… why, sir?"

"Well, I'm concerned about your condition after our fight with the White Flame gang, so as your boss, I think you should take a break until you are fully recovered," Blitz told him.

"But sir, I'm fine!" Moxxie declared, while also wincing again.

"No, you're not," Blitz said before he sighed. "Look Mox, I can't have my partner not feeling well on the job. No matter how much you insist. Everyone needs a break sometimes, and that includes you." He pated Moxxie's shoulder.

"Is… is it something I did wrong?" Moxxie asked him.

"Nah, you did a good job, even while hopped up on the sugar," Blitz reassured him. "But I'd be a bad boss if I make you work while sick. I like your determination, but what you need is some bed rest."

But Moxxie was insistent. "Come on, sir, I want to help! I can prove that I can be of help!" he begged him, giving Blitz the puppy-dog eyes. "Please, sir…?"

Blitz winced at the puppy eyes before giving a sigh. "Alright, fine. If you really want to help me… why not watch over Loona while I am doing this job?" he suggested.

"Don't worry, sir! I won't disappoint you on that!" Moxxie shouted with a salute. "I will make sure Loona will be protected at all cost!"

"Great, just remember to go easy on yourself, Mox," Blitz advised.


While on break, Loona hung near the front desk with Bella.

"So how was table waiting?" Bella asked while eating her noodles.

"Eh, it was tiring," Loona replied while eating her own lunch. "Though, Crystal's show was a neat watch."

"Yeah, I heard she really wowed the audience," Bella said. "It's why she's picked as our lounge singer."

Loona gave a nod before realizing that she still didn't know much about her co-worker and that this was the perfect chance to get to know her better. "So Bella, how long have you've been working here?"

"Oh about five years," she replied. "I actually lived in the Lust Ring before moving up here. I got this job thanks to a cousin of mine who works as a maid in Ozzie's palace."

"Ozzie as in…?!" Loona asked, realizing who she meant.

"Yup, she works for Asmodeus himself," she confirmed. "It's a pretty good gig, especially when flirting is part of the job…"

"Uh-huh," Loona nodded. "So other than work, what do you do for fun?" Before Bella answered, Loona clarified. "That isn't sexual."

"Oh, well whenever I'm not workin', I enjoy a little mini golf," Bella explained. "Like, I sometimes go to this Wacky Wally's Golfworld place down by the grove where I can relax and hit some balls into the holes…" She realized what she said and smiled sheepishly. "I swear I didn't intentionally try to make that an innuendo. Oh, and I also enjoy playing video games."

"Got any favorites?" Loona asked.

"Ooh, I like Immortal Combat, Road to Hell Fighter, Power Punch Bros," she listed off. "Fighting games are my favorite because they're such good stress relievers. Do you play any video games, Loona?"

"No," Loona admitted. "I don't have any gaming systems."

"Well, maybe you can come over and use mine," she suggested. "Video games can be very good stress relievers, especially when it comes to the job."

Loona thought about it. "I guess I could try them out, if you got any recommendations…" she said before she noticed someone coming into the front lobby. Her eyes widened when she saw that it wasn't a guest. "Moxxie?"

"Hey, Loona," Moxxie said while rubbing his nose.

"Ooh, I know you," Bella said while walking towards Moxxie with a flirtatious look. "You came here before… are you here to stay the night?"

"Actually, Blitz sent me here to watch over Loona while he's on the job," Moxxie replied nervously.

"Wait, dad sent you?" Loona asked him, frowning.

"Yeah, though he said that I needed a break, but I wanted to prove myself to him so he gave me the job to look after you," Moxxie explained. "So as of this moment, I'll be watching over you and protecting you from any threats. But don't worry, I won't interfere with your job, it'll be like I'm not even here."

"That's… great," Loona said, though she didn't look enthusiastic about this.

"My, what a very protective gentleman you are," Bella said while getting closer. "You must be a tough guy to be Loona's bodyguard…"

"Uh-huh, yeah." Moxxie rubbed the back of his head. "After all, I am part-Wrathian. But I am skilled in all forms of weaponry…"

"Ooh, a weapons-guy? I bet you got a big gun right now," Bella flirted while swaying her hips and hugging his arm.

"Hehe… um, Loona? Mind if you tell your friend…?" Moxxie whispered to her.

"I'm on break, she's just doing her job description," Loona said indifferently before hearing another voice.

"Loona, your lunch break is over!" Margaret declared, startling the young Hellhound. "I want you to pack up your lunch and get back to work, because we're about to have a special guest in the resort."

"A special guest?" Loona asked while setting her lunch aside. "Um… mind if I ask who?"

"You'll know her when you see her," Margaret replied while turning to Moxxie. "Didn't I see you here before?"

"Yeah, but I'm here for Loona," Moxxie responded. "Here to keep an eye on her for her dad."

"I see," Margaret replied. "Very well, you can hang out around here. But the food's for paying guests."

"Noted," Moxxie responded.

"As for today's agenda," Margaret said while looking over her clipboard. "We're doing a commercial shoot with some celebrity guests today."

"Like that ex-SNL actor who's checked in here?" Loona asked.

"Mr. Belushi isn't here for this, since we're not shooting a commercial with Sinners, we're shooting a commercial with succubi," Margaret clarified.

"Succubi…?" Loona asked, but before she could ask more, Margaret interjected.

"Get back to work, Loona, and make sure everything's ready for the arrival of our guests," Margaret responded. "We don't want a repeat of the bathroom incident, do we?"

"No ma'am…" Loona responded as she started to head back to her job.

Margaret turned to Bella and Moxxie, looking between them. She sighed. "Bella, if you're going to have sex with the imp, please ask first."

"Don't worry, I know to ask first!" Bella said while grinning at Moxxie.

"That's… reassuring…" Moxxie replied nervously.


Back at Khan Industries, Penzi was called to Khan's office, where she saw Blitz already there.

"You wanted to see me, sir?" Penzi asked him.

"Why yes, Ms. Skirtz," Sher Khan replied. "I was just giving Blitz some instructions involving your work."

"So what's Penzi's role in this?" Blitz asked.

"Well, I need you to escort her to make a deal with another firm in the Greed Ring," Shere Khan instructed him. "Representing that firm will be Sila D. Cider. She will meet with you in Greed, just make sure Ms. Skirtz gets there safely."

"Sila? Oh that takes me back," Penzi commented while turning to Shere Khan. For a moment, her stoic expression slipped a little. "And I must say, Mr. Khan, I am touched that you're so worried for little old me."

"Oh Penzi, of course I'm worried for you," Shere Khan said. "After all, you are a valued employee of Khan Industries, which means you belong to me…" he said, with his claw tapping under her chin. "And my assets have to be protected."

"Of course…" Penzi said before returning to her stoicness. "But I don't see how I need any protection. I could go to the Greed Ring alone if I want."

"I know, but you know I can't risk you getting into trouble. There are some enemies that would be willing to use you to get to me," he explained.

Penzi sighed. "Make sense, I guess."

Blitz looked up at Penzi, then at Shere Khan. He definitely was picking up on some red flags. "Well, let's not waste time and get to that polluted mess of a ring, Ms. Skirtz," he said.

Penzi adjusted her glasses. "Lead the way, Mr. Blitzo."

Once the two walked out of the building, Blitz led Penzi to his black van where Lars and Harvey were waiting.

"Hey, you two, glad you showed up!" Blitz shouting, waving to them.

"Hey, Blitz!" Lars responded, waving back. "We got your call about needing some backup!"

"Yeah, this will be just like old times," Harvey commented before turning to Penzi. "Whoa, um… hello, miss," he said while holding his hat down.

"Hello again, gentlemen," Penzi responded in a no-nonsense manner. "Now here are some ground rules. During this escort, keep your hands to yourself. I may be a succubus, but I prefer receiving the green and work on your finances first before I let you… explore my legs. But if you don't follow my rules… you end up in pieces." She glared at them. "Understand?"

"D-Don't worry, ma'am! We won't do anything funny with ya!" Lars reassured her.

"Our mamas have taught us to be better gentlemen," Harvey replied.

"Sure, we got it," Blitz said as he went to the driver seat while Penzi sat next to him. He turned to her and saw her knees really sticking up. "Uh, do you want to back up your seat?"

"That would be nice," she replied as Blitz helped her adjust her seat and move it back a little. "Is this as far as it goes?"

"Pretty much," Blitz replied. Once Lars and Harvey got into the van, Blitz started the van and they began driving. As they drove, Blitz turned the radio on and it played some heavy metal music that involved a lot about horse private parts.

"Um, don't you have anything else on the radio?" Harvey asked Blitz.

"My van, my music, Harv. You know the rules," Blitz told him, while Harvey just fell silent. Blitz glanced at Penzi, who was just looking over her phone. "So uh, Penzi, can I call you Penny? Are uh… you okay?"

"I'm fine," she responded. "Why are you asking?"

"Well, it's just… I guess, working under a guy like Mr. Khan must be, um… well, the guy is an Overlord, must be…?"

"What happens between me and Mr. Khan is strictly professional," Penzi said. "He may be a… complicated Sinner, but he does pay well."

"Guess he didn't just hired you for the looks?" Blitz joked, only to see she wasn't amused. "So, uh, how'd you get a job working under him anyway?"

"Well, I went to Mammon's Academy for the Aspiring Greedy Capitalists and was the tallest girl in my class. After graduating I set up my own firm here in Pride, seeing it as an opportunity to make financial deals with demons, Sinners, and Overlords here. And even the Ars Goetia."

"And if they don't pay ya…?" Blitz asked.

"Then I fuck them… literally," Penzi declared. "Business was good and I even made some financial deals in the mortal realms. Of course, eventually Sher Khan discovered my talents and hired me to secure his assets and broke deals with other businesses for his company."

"Does he also have office fucks with ya?" Blitz asked her.

"Oh would you like to know…" Penzi said while looking at her phone as they continued driving.


Back at the Triton Resort, the staff were waiting outside.

"Now everyone, once our special guest shows up, I want all of you to be on your best behavior," Lord Gaap told them while turning to Katya and Margaret. "Can all of you do that for me?"

"Yes, daddy," Katya replied.

"I'll be a good girl, sir," Margaret nodded. "I'll make sure everyone's on their best behavior."

Loona secretly rolled her eyes as Gaap declared "Excellent!" before he spotted the approaching white limousine. "Oh, here she comes now!"

The limousine was parked outside at the entrance. Coming out were a bunch of succubi and incubi, Bella rushing forward to greet them.

"Hello, you must be the special guest...s." Bella's eyes widened when she saw who was coming out. "Oh… my… OZZIE!"

Loona's jaw dropped, having a similar reaction to Bella as well. Except that she was familiar with this succubi…

Coming out was Verosika Mayday, wearing her black heart-shaped shades with pink lenses, a pink fur coat with a tight, and white and black mini dress, which featured a contrasting X and O pattern on her chest, and a star design on her abdomen. She also wore black, thigh-high heeled boots with three X-shaped cutouts down the sides.

"Verosika Mayday, welcome!" Gaap greeted the succubi singer as he came forward. "Oh what a wonderful and joyous day to have you at my resort!"

"Thank you, Gaap, so glad to see you," Verosika responded to the Ars Goetia. "So this is where the filming is going to take place?"

"Of course," Gaap said. "You can stay here at this resort for how long as you like, however. Along with your crew."

Verosika nodded. "That would be splendid. Oh, one of my posse, Ace, has a kid so if you have a place for kids here-"

"Do not worry, we are always prepared to handle children in our kids rooms at Camp Neptune, where adults can put their children when they want to have fun on their own," Gaap said while leaning towards Verosika. "But if you're interested in some of the fun here at the resort, I can show you around…"

"I'll think about it," Verosika said while walking past him. Following her was her posse.

"Need help with luggage?" Bella asked, seeing a black haired incubi male with black horns and a short beard. He was wearing a black shirt with an X, black pants, and boots. Next to him was a short incubi boy with the same hair, short horns, a black hoodie, blue jeans, and sneakers.

"Yeah, in the back," Ace said as he pointed to the trunk of the limo. "Come on, Ryan, let's go get checked in."

"Wow, what a big hotel this is!" Ryan commented while joining his father.

Verosika spotted Kanya. Briefly, she glared at Kanya before breaking into a smile. "Kan-Kan!"

"V-Sik!" Kanya exclaimed as the two gave each other air kisses on the cheek. "How have you been, girl?"

"Doing fine, thank you," she said while the two hugged. Though, they each gave disgusted looks before releasing each other. "So how's modeling doing for ya?"

"Doing great, my photographer Gravi states that I have perfect clavicles for the necklace line," Kanya replied. "So how's the pop star thing going for you?"

"Well, doing great! Sold tons of my albums both here and the Human Realm," Verosika said with a grin. "The perks of being a succubus, we can travel both here and the Human Realm freely. Have you ever considered modeling for the Humans?"

"Oh, I'm considering my options…" Kanya said while hiding her irritation through her teeth.

"Hello, Ms. Mayday, I am Margaret," Margaret spoke up, getting in between the two. "As manager of the resort, I have made sure everything has been ready for you in advance. If you need anything, just ask."

"Great, Kiki can give you the info and Josh knows what drinks I get," Verosika said as she pointed to two of her posse, a blue haired succubus in a fishnet shirt with black hearts on her chest and black skirt, and a white haired incubus wearing a black upside down choker, black shirt and pants. "And Milky can help with the technical operations for the commercial." She pointed to a short succubus with dark hair, a one-sleeve black top, jean short-shorts and black stiletto boots.

"We will consider them," Margaret said. "And over here is my staff. One of them, Loona, will help you to your rooms."

"Why yes, I… wait, did you say Loona?" Verosika asked as she turned to the staff. Her eyes widened when seeing the white furred Hellhound girl. "Oh… my… OZ!"

"Hey, Rosi," Loona waved to her, a little shyly, before Verosika rushed over to give the Hellhound girl a hug. Verosika laughed along with Loona, spinning around her.

"Oh, it's been too long since I last saw you," Verosika said, after letting Loona go. "How have you been? Wait, how's Blitz?"

"Oh you know, same." Loona replied.

"Oh I'm so sorry," Verosika said. "But look at you, you work here now?"

"Just started recently," Loona replied.

Bella looked both shocked and confused by their interactions. "Uh… I didn't know you knew the Verosika Mayday, Loona."

"Interesting, didn't know you two were old friends," Gaap said while intrigued.

Loona turned to Bella. "Oh yeah, we go way back."

"How far back?" Bella asked her.

"Well, she and my dad used to date," Loona explained.

"Yeah, things didn't work out," Verosika admitted, but she patted Loona's head. "Meeting you was the only good thing out of that relationship."

"Yeah, it's nice seeing you again," Loona replied, smiling.

"We need to catch up, as soon as I'm available," Verosika said. "Promise?"

"Yeah, promise," Loona replied, the two giving each other a short hug before Verosika headed into the resort, Loona watching her go and thinking back to when Verosika was a regular part of her life…


Years ago, little Loona was drawing a little picture with her crayons. It was a picture of herself, her adoptive father Blitz, and Verosika, his girlfriend.

"And… done!" Little Loona said while holding up her drawing. Wanting to show this to someone, she looked around and saw that Verosika was at home, sitting at the table in her tank top and jersey shorts while looking over the phone. She rushed over to the succubus. "Rosi-Rosi-Rosi!"

"Yeah, kiddo?" Verosika asked as she turned to Loona, who held up her drawing to her.

"See it? It's me, daddy, and you," Loona said as she pointed at the drawing, her tail wagging behind her.

Seeing how excited Loona was, Verosika looked at the drawing and smiled. "Aw, thanks for showing me this, Loony," she said while patting the young hellpup's head.

"Do you like it?" Loona asked hopefully.

"Yes, it's good," she replied with a smile. "You're a very good artist."

"Thanks!" Loona said. "It's just… I like having you around."

Verosika looked surprised for a second before she smiled again. "Well, I like being around too," she said while looking at the drawing again, getting an idea. "Say, your dad won't be back for a while, so… how would you feel about going out shopping? Just the two of us."

"I would love to go out!" Loona said excitedly, her tail wagging even harder at Verosika's suggestion.


Later, Verosika was in her white sunhat and sundress and walking alongside Loona, who held her hand. They walked through the shopping district as they checked out the stores.

First stop was at a fashion store, where Verosika took Loona in to look at some new fashionable outfits.

"We can afford these?" Loona asked her.

"With me, kid, you can get anything you like," Verosika told her.

Loona looked around and spotted one dress, pointing to it. "I like that one!"

Loona began to try on multiple outfits. First one was a pink shirt with a black devil resembling the King of Hell, along with black pants and black socks.

Another was a black dress with red boots. She held up two peace signs.

"You look real good, Loony!" Verosika encouraged, clapping her hands.

Next Loona tried on a zebra-pattern sun hat while wearing a cheetah-patterned jacket and brown shirt, and blue jeans. She looked at herself in the mirror and frowned. "I look like a cat."

"Do you like it?" Verosika asked.

"Nah," Loona said, shaking her head.

After going through a lot of outfits and buying a few that Loona really liked, Verosika got another idea. "Say, would you like to take a selfie?"

"Selfie?" Loona asked as Verosika knelt over next to her with her camera up.

"Like this," she said as she hugged Loona close and snapped a photo. She then showed it to Loona.

"Wow, so we can just take pictures of ourselves and not have someone take it for us?" Loona asked.

"You have a lot to learn, my young apprentice," Verosika said with a smirk.

"Really?" Loona asked while looking at the picture on Verosika's phone. "You know, me and dad don't really do this kind of stuff together. Shopping and selfies…"

"Well, that's the point of having female friends," Verosika told her. "We can do all the stuff that you can't do with your dad."

Loona smiled while looking up to Verosika. "You know, Rosi, I'm glad that we're friends."

"Yeah, me too, kid," Verosika replied with a smile.


By the time Verosika and Loona came back home, Blitz had already made it back.

"Hey, you two," Blitz said, getting up from the couch. "Well, it looks like my favorite girls were having fun together."

"We sure did, dad!" Loona replied. "Rosi bought me a lot of clothes I picked out!"

"She did?" Blitz asked, smiling as he patted his daughter on the head. "Well I'm sure glad that you two are getting along well."

"She's a good girl, Blitz," Verosika commented with a smile, while Loona never looked happier…


Little Loona woke up to hear shouting. She came out of her room to see what the commotion was about. She then realized it was Blitz and Verosika arguing. She couldn't make out what they were saying since she was in another room, but from their tone it sounded intense.

Loona peeked into the room where Blitz and Verosika were fighting, being careful not to be seen. As she saw them shouting at each other, tears began to leak from her eyes. Oh, Loona didn't like seeing and hearing this, not at all. Eventually, Verosika had enough and she stormed out of the room, Loona quickly ducking out of the way and realizing that Verosika, who was crying angry tears, was heading toward the front door.

Worried, Loona rushed over to grab Verosika's hand, which made the succubus stop and turn to Loona. Verosika's expression changed when she looked down at the young Hellpup. "Rosi, why are you leaving?" she asked her. Her tone was confused… and scared.

Verosika looked down sadly at the young Hellpup. She glanced up at Blitz, who was just as silent. Verosika sighed and looked back at the Hellpup. "Loony… look, I'm… going out."

"Will you come back?" Loona asked, which made Verosika's heart sank.

"I… look, kid. The thing is… I'm probably not coming back," Verosika admitted, which made Loona's ears drop.

"But… but why?" Loona asked, wiping her own tears. "I like having you around…"

Verosika knelt down. "Hey, look kid. This isn't your fault," Verosika said. "I just… can't stay here anymore." She shot a quick glare at Blitz before raising her arms up. "Come on, give me a hug."

Loona sniffed as she walked in to give Verosika. "I promise that we'll see each other again, Loona," the succubus reassured her.

"You promise?" Loona asked her.

"Hey, we're still friends, right?" Verosika asked and Loona gave a small smile. "Goodbye, Loony…"

After Little Loona watched her go, the Hellpup looked back at her father. "What happened?"

Blitz just wiped his own tears. He didn't want to talk about it right now, nor did he even know how to start explaining to Loona what went down between him and Verosika…


In the Greed Ring, everything was all industrialized, polluted, and infested with the greediest of greedy demons. It was as green as money.

While driving down the green highway, Blitz made sure to lock all the doors and keep the windows rolled up. "Alright, we've made it to the greediest, most capitalistic ring of all of Hell," Blitz declared. "So we better keep our doors locked and pockets zipped."

"Most of the territories here are run by corporations with mafia ties," Penzi explained. "Even the bank tellers would rob you."

"Don't all banks do?" Harvey asked as Lars laughed at his partner's joke.

Penzi looked back at them. "So, um, what are your qualifications again?" Penzi asked Lars and Harvey. "How do you even know Mr. Blitzo?"

"Well, we and Blitz go way back," Lars commented, remembering how he and Harvey met Lars…


Years ago…

Lars and Harvey were breaking inside of a storage warehouse at night, both of them wearing ski masks.

"Alright, let's steal whatever looks valuable and get out of here," Harvey told him.

"Got it, Harv," Lars responded as they began to use crowbars to open up crates… before they heard someone shout.

"The fuck?!" a ski mask wearing Blitz shouted while holding his grappling gun up. "Who the fuck are you?!"

"Hey, easy there!" Harvey said as he and Lars raised their hands up, not noticing the type of gun Blitz had. "We thought there was nobody here!"

"I thought so too until you two showed up!" Blitz retorted. "Christ on a stick, I was planning on robbing this place as revenge after they fired me for taking too long on my bathroom break. For fuck sake, they expected me to use a bottle! But now I gotta deal with you two bozos!"

"Hey, we were planning on robbing this place first!" Lars argued.

"Well find somewhere else to loot, cause I called dibs," Blitz declared.

"On the contrary, we also have claimed dibs on this place," Harvey countered as the three argued back and forth.

As they were arguing, there was the sound of barking in the distance. Lars stopped arguing as he looked around and saw the shadows of guard dogs. "Uh, Harv."

"What is it, Lars?" Harvey asked him.

"Yeah, can't you see we're in the middle of something?" Blitz asked until the two heard barking, this time louder.

"Do I hear an intruder?!"

"I do! Let's bite their dicks off!"

Blitz, Harvey, and Lars panicked as they scattered and found somewhere to hide. The two Hellhound guards, a Boxer and a Doberman breed, searched for the intruders.

Blitz looked around to find a way to escape. He spotted the skylight and managed to climb up onto the walkway while avoiding the guard dogs. Keeping his eyes on where he last saw the dogs, he backed away until he bumped into something. Turning around, he saw that it was Lars and Harvey, who had also climbed up the walkway.

"You!" the three whispered while pointing at one and the other. Then they shushed as they hid on the floor of the walkway while the guard dogs below them sniffed around and looked up.

"What are we going to do?" Lars asked in a whisper.

Blitz looked up at the ceiling. "Say, you two want out of this, right? I can help you escape. A little honor among thieves, eh?"

Harvey and Lars looked at each other, considering their options. "What do you want us to do?" Lars asked.

"Just hang on," Blitz said as he held up a grappling gun and shot it through the skylight. The sound of the broken glass got the attention of the guard dogs, who looked up and started to bark.

"Up there!" the Doberman Hellhound shouted.

Once Blitz felt his grappling hook get something, he began to pull himself up while Lars and Harvey hung onto… his tail.

"Not… what… I meant," Blitz said in pain as he felt his tail being pulled as the three were hoisted up to the roof.

Once they were on the roof, they ran down the fire escape. The Doberman guard chased after them after making it up to the roof as well, following the imps through an alley.

"Come back here, you thieving fucks!" the Doberman shouted as he chased after them.

Blitz looked back at the Doberman before the Hellhound tackled into him. While the two wrestled on the ground, Blitz saw Lars and Harvey continuing to run, leaving him to fight the Doberman. "Fucking typical," he muttered.

"You think you can steal from us?!" the doberman shouted while biting at Blitz, who kicked him off of him.

"Yeah, obviously I did, pal!" Blitz shouted while reaching into his coat for a weapon, only to find nothing there. "Oh Christ on a stick, I left them at home-" He was then pulled by the tail as the Doberman swung him down to the ground. "Oof!"

Blitz looked up and saw the Doberman jumping toward him. He rolled over as the doberman landed. When he got up, the Doberman bit Blitz's arm. The imp winced, but managed to pick up a trash can lid and hit the Doberman with it.

"When I'm done with you, you'll be my new chew toy!" the Doberman snarled..

"And when I'm done with you, you'll be my new fuck toy!" Blitz shouted back while holding the trash can like a shield.

The Doberman guard growled as he glared at Blitz. He was about to jump on him… when he got blinded by headlights. He turned and saw a van driving into the alley, right toward him. Before the Hellhound could get out of the way, he was hit by the van, sending him into a wall. The guard dog rolled over as he fell unconscious.

A shocked Blitz turned to the van and saw Lars and Harvey opening the door for him. "Get in!" they both shouted.

Even though he was surprised to see them here, he wasted no time. Blitz crawled into the van and it pulled out of the alley and drove away before the other guard dog caught up.

"Oh no, man down!" the Boxer Hellhound cried out as he knelt over his partner while glaring at the fleeing van. "I WILL GET YOU INTRUDERS!"

"Are you alright?" Lars asked Blitz inside the van.

"Yeah, I got a couple of bites, but I'll live," Blitz responded while looking around and seeing a lot of bootleg movies in the van. "Got a lot of DVDs here," he said while noticing the box art. "Wait, you guys filmed these?"

"Filmed them in theaters with cameras we snuck in," Harvey replied while Blitz looked at the bootlegs.

"Hey, you got a recording of the latest Angel Dust movie," Blitz said while spotting another film. "You even got films from the human realm?!"

"We know someone who got one of them Lust Crystal things that lets them travel to the Human Realm," Lars commented.

"You guys got the good shit in here!" Blitz commented before looking at the two. Harvey was driving while Lars was in the back with Blitz. "Just wanna say, thanks for saving my tail…. After pulling on it."

"Sorry about that, and no problem," Lars responded. "I'm Lars, and the short one driving is Harvey."

"We're just a couple of average joes trying to make a living the best way we know how," Harvey explained.

"By thieving, looting, bootlegging, grand theft auto, breaking and entering, double parking," Lars listed off.

"Wow, you two sound like my kind of guys," Blitz replied.

"What's yer name, by the way?" Lars asked.

"Blitzø, and the 'o' is silent," Blitz introduced as he pulled off his mask.


After meeting by accident, Blitz and his fellow thieves, Lars and Harvey, began working together, pulling off various crimes and heists.

"Alright, here's the plan," Blitz said while they were gathered around a table "We break into this factory to get the goods right under their noses. We can load them into the van in the back and then go sell them to the highest bidder."

"Sounds like a good plan and all… but how do we get past security?" Lars asked.

"Yeah, ain't it tight?" Harvey asked.

"Just leave it to me, boys," Blitz responded with a smile.


Chaos. That was the only word to describe what was happening as Blitz laughed maniacally while unleashing horses and firing in the air while the guards chased him around. While he kept them busy, Lars and Harvey got the crates filled with goods to their van in secret and drove off before anyone noticed them. Blitz rode on one of the hellhorses he had set loose, riding out of the factory and away from the guards.

"YEE-HAW! TRY TO GET ME, PIGGIES!" Blitz shouted as he went to catch up with Lars and Harvey.


Sometime later, the trio entered an abandoned convenience store after one of the Annual Purges, trying to beat the other looters to the best stuff.

"Poor sap," Blitz said while noticing a dead body behind the counter. He then grabbed some tools. "Ooh, I could use this for my pad."

"Hey, the snacks here are still fresh!" Lars pointed out. "Think we can set up a snack stand?"

"I reckon we can do better than that," Harvey replied while grabbing the magazines and DVDs that were up on display.


Slapping on a sale sign, Blitz, Lars, and Harvey were at the black market selling off their stolen goods.

"Come right up, and get your refreshments here!" Blitz shouted while advertising the stand with a cane. "We got Lucifer Chips, movies starring the dirtiest celebrities from Hell, even the dead ones that try to make it back to fame while down here in this shithole!"

"Gotta admit, that is some mighty fine display of shysterness," Harvey commented.

"Well, I used to live in a circus," Blitz admitted while pointing his cane at a sinner. "You sir! Yes, you sir! Would you like to try our merchandise?"


In another heist, Lars and Harvey were waiting in the van outside of a mansion in the Greed Ring. They saw Blitz coming out while dressed as a repairman.

"How'd it go?" Harvey asked as Blitz came over to them.

"The McCaliber family's going to be away at Sloth for the Holidays, and this house does have some security measures," Blitz said with a grin. "Luckily for us, the sap uses his own birthday backwards to set the code."

"Now that's a sucker's move," Lars said with a grin.

"While they're out, we bust in to get their good shit," Blitz said. "What could go wrong?"


Blitz truly ate his words when the three came back and split up to break into the house after deactivating the security system. When Blitz touched the doorknob, he was electrocuted. "YAAAHH!"

Lars tried to sneak in through the basement. When he turned on the light, he accidentally pulled a string. The string led to a long rope and when Lars looked up, he got hit in the face with an iron board. "OOF!"

Harvey managed to sneak in through the window. He went upstairs until he stepped through a tripwire. He was suddenly hit by a paint bucket that swung down and collided with his face. "YAH!"

Outside, Blitz got up with a daze. He looked up and saw that looking through a window on the top floor was a red imp boy with bowl-cut blond hair, a blue sweater and scarf, jeans and sneakers. "Oh shit, there's a kid in the house?!"

"This is my house, intruder!" the kid responded as he threw a brick at Blitz.

"GAH!" Blitz shouted as he was hit in the head, causing him to fall down.

Inside the mansion, Harvey forced a door open, which only triggered a trap and sent a bunch of hammers, wrenches, and other hard tools flying at him. "AH! OH! EEK! YAH!" he cried as he got hit by them.

"Harvey?!" Lars asked as he looked through the house, only to step on some nails. "YAAAH!"

Harvey went through another door, triggering a homemade flamethrower that set the top of his head on fire. "YAAAHH!" he cried out as he ran to find a glass of what he thought was water. But as he splashed it onto his head, an explosion occurred and sent him flying out of the house, straight through the window.

Lars, meanwhile, groaned as he stood up and looked around.

"Hey, over here, bozo!" the kid shouted, getting his attention.

"Now hang on a sec," Lars said as he marched up to the kid, only to slip on some oil. "YAAAAH!" he cried out as he slipped through the hall. The kid stepped out of the way as Lars hit a bucket of tar and a bag of feathers before hitting a board that launched him back through the door that led to outside.

"Lars! Harvey! Let's get out of here!" Blitz cried out while going to grab the two. All three could hear the maniacal laughter from the imp kid. "That kid is fucking psycho!"


Sometime later, the three prepared for another heist.

"Alright, we're dealing with this tough cookie," Blitz said as he pointed to a picture of Cruella. "Cruella De Vil, terrifying lady, but she's also rich, so we're gonna sneak into her home and steal her shit."

"Hmm, I'm not sure about this, Blitz," Harvey said with a doubtful look. "Robbing a Sinner's house may not be a good idea."

"Yeah, those Sinners can be pretty tough," Lars responded with a gulp.

"Boys, boys, don't be hiding your tails between your legs now," Blitz said while patting their back. "This is the big one, trust me. We'll just break in when she's not home. Okay?"

"Well, she is supposed to be loaded," Lars admitted.

"And if we do it quickly enough, we won't have to worry about being caught by her," Harvey realized.

"Plus, I heard that her reputation was exaggerated," Blitz said with a smile. "She may be a Sinner, but as far as Sinners go she's harmless. She is in Hell for kidnapping puppies, if you can believe it."

"Hey, I like puppies," Lars pointed out.

"I mean, I do too," Blitz admitted. "But I bet Cruella is made out to be worse than she really is. She is just some old Sinner obsessed with fashion. That's it. Now then, here's the plan…"


Later that night, while Lars and Harvey slept, Blitz snuck out of their van and made his way to Cruella's mansion.

"Sorry, guys, but I'm just gonna get a head start and get the best shit," Blitz whispered as he got ready to break into the mansion on his own…


But of course, things did not go as Blitz planned. After getting into a fight with Cruella and burning her mansion down, Blitz managed to make it back to his place… with a frightened young Hellpup in tow.

"Alright, we can hide out here," Blitz said as he brought Loona in. "Okay, I think I have a medical kit here somewhere…" he said while looking around his place before he heard knocking at the door. The two looked at the door, Loona whimpering fearfully. "Wait here," Blitz told her as Loona became quiet and hid while Blitz approached the door, holding his gun ready.

There was more knocking on the door, followed by voices. "BLITZO! We know you're in here!" Harvey's voice shouted.

"You got a lot to explain!" Lars shouted while Blitz looked relieved.

Opening the door, Blitz saw the ire look of his partners. "Guys, hey, glad to see you two-"

"Glad to see us our ass!" Harvey shouted at him.

"When we woke up, we saw Cruella's house on fire!" Lars told him. "Did you make off with some stuff without us?!"

"Uh… look, guys, the thing is, I kinda did, but it isn't what you think," Blitz said while the two looked at him in anger. "Look, look, just… Loona! Mind if you come out now!"

"Is it safe?" Loona's voice asked, much to the confusion of the two imps.

"Don't worry, they are just some friends of mine," Blitz reassured her as Loona popped her head out from behind the couch. Lars and Harvey were shocked to see the young Hellpup there. "Guys, this is Loona. Loona, meet my friends Lars and Harvey."

Looking worried, Harvey turned to Blitz. "Say, Blitz, mind explaining to us about her deal?"

And so, Blitz explained to the two what went down when he snuck into Cruella's place and how he found Loona. When Loona told them about what she saw, the two were shocked.

"Dear Lucifer, those rumors were true," Harvey said while looking concerned. "Cruella adopts Hellpups to turn them into fur coats."

"What are you going to do, Blitz?" Lars asked.

"Well I do know that I ain't letting that bitch get Loona again," Blitz responded with a serious look. "Even if that means I have to take care of her."

A moment passed, Lars and Harvey looking shocked. "EEH?!"

"Oh relax, you guys don't think I'm cut out for this?" Blitz questioned.

"Well… to be honest, we never figured you'd be the fatherly type," Lars admitted.

"Look, all I know is that the kid is my responsibility now and I gotta do what I can to protect her," Blitz admitted while looking at Loona, who was still a little fearful of Lars and Harvey, especially the much taller Lars. Blitz sighed. "At least until I can find something better."

Harvey and Lars looked at each other, a bit surprised by their friend and partner.

"That is… mighty decent of you, Blitz," Lars said.

"Thanks," Blitz said. "And look, you don't have to get involved-"

"Don't even finish that, Blitz," Harvey interrupted. "We want to help in any way that we can. If you or Loona need anything, just ask."

As she listened to this, Loona smiled a little. Even though she was still scared after what happened to her, she did feel like she could trust Blitz… and his friends as well.

She felt safer already.


"Those were some good times," Lars commented after remembering.

"Yeah, I still remember how small Loona was," Harvey mentioned. "Can't believe how much she has grown."

"Yeah, we've been through a lot together," Blitz admitted as he stopped the van. "Well, we're here."

They looked out at the green firm building and stepped out the fan, Penzi stretching herself out after the long trip.

"Well if it isn't Ms. Skirtz herself."

Penzi turned and saw a pink succubus up the steps of the building. She was short compared to her but taller than the imps. She had large curly hair that reached to her back and black lips with purple eyeliner. Only one of her eyes was exposed along with her beauty mark. She wore a golden necklace with a beige long sleeve which showed her large cleavage. She had the widest hips, a black skirt, brown nylon stockings, and black heels. Her pink wings were located on her lower back, along with her tail that had a brown tip. "How's working up the highest Ring of Hell, my little leggy lamb?"

"Sila D. Cider," Penzi responded stoically before she smiled to her. "I'm happy to see you again, old friend."

"Me too!" Sila walked up to her and gave Penzi a hug. Well, she hugged her legs. "And look how much you've grown! How tall are you now?"

"Still eleven feet," Penzi answered as she turned to the imps. "Gentlemen, this is Sila D. Cider, she works here at this office firm that Khan Industries wants to make a deal with."

"Well it's nice to meet you, ma'am," Blitz greeted her.

"So you all must be the new hires of Mr. Khan." Sila said as she gave a sly grin "My, I am jealous of you, Penzi. Working with such a mighty fine tiger. I wouldn't mind him digging his claws on my big ol' trunk," she commented while shaking her hips.

"Come now, Sila, act more professional than that," Penzi told her.

"Alright, alright, let me show you guys in," Sila said as she led them to the firm building.


Back at the Triton Resort, Verosika Mayday was at the pool bar.

"Now this is so tenderizing," Verosika said while wearing a black two piece bikini with white 'X' and 'O' patterns on her bikini top. She sipped her drink. "And I gotta admit, the aesthetic is pretty nice."

"Glad that you like the place, Ms. Mayday," Clara commented while cleaning a glass.

Verosika looked around and spotted Moxxie coming over. "Say… that imp…"

Moxxie was wearing his white shirt and black trunks as he swam over to the pool bar and took a seat. "Excuse me, but do you have anything non-alcoholic?"

"I can hook you up a fruit smoothie, sir," Clara responded to him.

"A smoothie would sound great. Thank you very much," Moxxie replied.

"Not hitting the booze today?" Verosika asked him, earning Moxxie's attention.

"Not when I'm currently on the job and not when I have a killer headache," Moxxie replied while wincing again before he took a better look at Verosika. "Wait… aren't you-"

"Yes, famous pop star of Hell and Earth, Verosika Mayday, don't wear it out," Verosika responded, sipping a drink. "You know, I can't help but feel like I recognize you from anywhere…" she said, glancing at him.

Moxxie looked a bit nervous. "Oh um… I-I don't know what you mean. I probably have one of those faces…"

"Wait… your voice even sounds familiar." Verosika snapped her fingers. "Now I remember! You're that guy from the burger place who was with that cougar!"

Moxxie looked at her, remembering seeing Verosika that day. "Oh… that was you?"

"Surprised that you didn't recognize me before," Verosika said while sipping her drink. "So is your girlfriend around here?"

"Oh, um… well, we're not really dating or anything," Moxxie admitted, scratching the back of his head. "I was just helping her and her kids."

"Oh… well that's too bad, then," Verosika said. "Though, that woman did give off some strange vibes. Almost as if she came from the living…"

"Hehe, who knows, must be the perfume!" Moxxie laughed it off nervously, trying to cover for Lilith.

"Yo, Mox, there you are," Loona said as she swam over. She turned to Verosika. "So you've met Rosi, huh?"

"Loony, hey little babypup!" Verosika said as she got Loona to sit beside her. "Glad that you're here, and you've grown even more adorable since I last saw you!"

"Thanks, Rosi," Loona replied with a smile. "It really is good to see you again as well."

Verosika smiled and gestured to Moxxie. "Wait, so you know this little imp?"

"Yeah, this is Moxxie, he works with dad," Loona replied.

"Oh… I'm so sorry," Verosika said to Moxxie with a pitiful look.

Loona snickered. "Don't mind her, Moxxie, she and dad have history together."

"You mean to tell me Blitz and Verosika…?!" Moxxie noticed the tattoo on her arm, a heart shaped tattoo of Blitz with an X crossed out. "Holy Satan…"

"Yeah, we're exes," Verosika said. "So how's your pops, Loona? He's staying out of trouble?"

"Well, yeah… kind of," Loona admitted. "He does work for Khan Industries now."

Verosika looked shocked. "He is?!" she exclaimed while Loona and Moxxie nodded.

"I work for Khan Industries as well, but Blitz wanted me to take a break," Moxxie responded while rubbing his head as he got another headache.

"Oh fuck… I do actually feel so bad for him right now," Verosika said while looking pale. "Shere Khan is not the kind of guy you'd want to end up working for."

"Yeah, I know what you mean," Moxxie responded, still remembering about the Beelzebub mission, as well as what happened to the poor intern…

"So Loony, tell me, how did you get a sweet gig here at the Triton Resort?" Verosika asked her.

"Well, it's a long story," Loona responded, but Moxxie interjected.

"Loona, are you sure we should tell her this?" Moxxie asked her.

"Don't worry, Moxxie, we can trust her," Loona reassured her.

"And what about her?" Moxxie asked, pointing to Clara.

Clara just shrugged. "I am a confidant to all my customers," she told them. "I hear a lot of weird and personal stuff, but it never leaves the bar."

Moxxie looked unsure, but sighed and decided to go along with it. "Alright, if you say so, Loona."

Loona nodded and began. "Well, my dad had gotten himself in jail-"

"No surprise there," Verosika said before Loona narrowed her eyes. The succubus smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, please continue."

Loona, with the help of Moxxie, explained to Verosika in detail about the events that led to her getting a job at the Triton Resort, Verosika and Clara both listening and reacting with surprise, shock, and intrigue. Looks of worry flashed across their faces when Loona told them about how she got stabbed and how she encountered the Radio Demon while helping two mortal girls through Hell. Moxxie even filled in his side of the story all the way to how they ended up at the Triton Resort.

"And that's about it," Loona finished. "Dad managed to pull some strings and now I work here. I haven't seen Luz and her friends since, but word about an incident in the Underworld caught my ear so they must've made it out alright."

"Oh, wow, that is… something, Loona," Verosika said. "Though I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Blitz's ex is a witch. Maybe I should look her up…"

"The Demon Realm… I think my aunt once visited there," Clara replied. "But I am glad that my uncle Stolas helped you guys out."

"Yeah, he sure did," Loona replied, though a thought suddenly occurred to her. "Say Mox, you never mentioned how you ended up in prison."

"Oh, well I guess it's alright to say," Moxxie replied, though he sounded a bit reluctant to talk about it. "I was involved in a bank heist and, well, I got caught after my now ex-boyfriend left me to get arrested."

"Really?" Loona asked in shock. "Oh man, Mox, I'm sorry that happened to you."

"It's fine, and well… at least I got to meet your father and you this way," Moxxie responded. "I would probably still be in prison if it weren't for him motivating me to help him break out, snapping me out of my self-pity. He told me that he had a daughter waiting for him to come home and I agreed to help him see you again."

"Huh…" Loona said, feeling touched by this. "So what Ring are you from, anyhow?"

Moxxie looked more nervous. "Oh, well… I will say that I'm part-Wrathian."

"Wrath? With your size?" Verosika asked.

"Are you from Wrath?" Loona asked him.

"Well, no," Moxxie admitted. "But my mom's from that Ring…"

"Really?" Loona asked.

"Yeah, though she did leave the Wrath Ring after meeting and falling in love with my dad," Moxxie replied, while looking down at his own drink. "Honestly, I do wonder how she even fell in love with someone like my dad in the first place? Unless he could be a completely different person back then…"

Hearing this, Loona and Verosika shared a look. They heard all they needed to know. "I think I get the gist of it," Loona said.

"Yeah," Verosika said in agreement. "You don't have to say anything more."

"Thanks," Moxxie said with a sigh. "Honestly, I saw working for Blitz as a way to put my past behind me. Ex-boyfriends and bad dads included."

"Preach," Clara said in agreement.

But unknown to the small imp, he was being watched far across the pool. Hiding himself behind a newspaper was a shark demon, who peeked over the top of the newspaper… and grinned.


Meanwhile in Greed, Penzi went to meet with the boss of the firm.

"Yes, yes, step right in," spoke the shark demon who led Penzi into his office. "We can start with negotiations here."

"Thank you," Penzi replied while ducking down under the door to enter the office as the door shut behind them.

Blitz and Sila waited outside the office, Blitz sitting on the couch. "So, you and Penny know each other pretty well?"

"Since we were young," Sila replied as she sat beside Blitz, writing on her clipboard. "Me and Penzi grew up here in Greed, even went to the same business school together." She turned to Blitz. "So how long have you've been working for Mr. Khan?"

"Eh, just a recent hire," Blitz admitted. "But I do consider it temporary, once I make enough I'm going to open up my own biz."

"Oh a little entrepreneur, aren't you?" Sila asked with a grin. "You know, I think I've seen you somewhere before…"

"Oh, uh… probably have one of those faces," Blitz said, trying to cover his tracks.

"Really? Cause you kinda look like a certain imp that caused a killing spree back in the Demon Realm," Sila said.

"Alright, alright, so I busted out of prison and-" Blitz paused, turning to the big-haired succubus. "Wait, how did you know that?" he asked.

"Oh let's just say that, we succubi have abilities to travel both Hell and the Mortal Realms," Sila admitted while laying her clipboard on her crossed lap.

"...Are you from the Boiling Isles?" Blitz asked.

"I work there, yes," Sila admitted, showing an Oracle sigil that magically appeared on her wrist. "I am the secretary for the mayor of Metropelvis."

"Ooh…" Blitz gave a nervous look. "Um… you're not going to rat me out, are you?"

"Relax, it's fine," Sila waved it off. "I'm not going to rat."

Blitz sighed in relief. "Well, that is a relief. Thanks for keeping it a secret."

"No prob, maybe someday we'll be even, if I could think of a favor," Sila said with a grin.


At the van parked outside the firm, Lars and Harvey were waiting inside. Lars was playing a game on his phone.

"Come on, come on… dang it!" Lars said.

"Still playing that bird's game?" Harvey asked him.

"Yeah, and I keep losing," Lars grumbled.

Harvey looked out the window and noticed someone pulling up in front of them. "What in the hell…?" He looked more closely and saw a clown-masked figure who, for some reason, was riding on a tricycle. "You seeing this, Lars?"

Lars looked up and saw the tricycle rider. "That is strange indeed…"


Later on, Blitz and Penzi came out of the firm. "Well, that didn't take too long," Blitz said.

"Yes, that went as well as expected," Penzi responded as they headed for the van.

"Hopefully Lars and Harvey didn't get too bored in there," Blitz said as he opened the door, only to get shot by a stun gun from inside the van. "GAAAH!" he shouted with a shock as he fell down.

"Blitz?!" Penzi reacted before she was pulled into the van. "Kyah!" she cried as she struggled and kicked the clown-mask wearing figure, who placed a chloroform rag into her mouth. She whiffed at it, which knocked her out as she was pulled into the van.

Penzi was sent into the back of the van along with the tied up Lars and Harvey. The clown-masked figure then moved to the front of the van and began driving off with their captives.

Blitz groaned as he opened his eyes and saw the van driving off. The van thief left nothing behind, nothing but… a tricycle, which had a note on it with an address and a message.

'Come alone. Cheat and the lives of your friends are forfeit. See you soon.'


Back at the resort, the filming was about to take place at the lounge.

"Alright, Verosika, in this scene, you will be shown relaxing in the lounge," Gaap told her. Watching from off the set were Loona, Moxxie, Margaret, and Bella. "We will get several shots here, while the camera will be focused on your summer beauty..."

"Yeah, yeah, I know my lines," Verosika responded, seen wearing a mid-length sun-dress with a big sun-hat, with sunglasses and white heels.

"Alright, places, everyone!" Gaap called out as he sat in his director's chair.

"Wow, I can't believe we'll actually get to see Verosika Mayday perform!" Bella said in excitement.

"Yeah, she's really done well for herself," Loona admitted.

"I never knew a member of the Ars Goetia was into film directing," Moxxie commented.

"Oh you have no idea…" Margaret said as she hid her blush, knowing what Gaap really did with a camera.

Unknown to everyone, two shark demons who were posing as guests quietly walked up behind the employees on set. They spotted Moxxie.

"Alright, grab the imp while everyone's distracted," one of the sharks spoke to his partner.

"He's close to the Hellhound and the bellhop girl," his partner points out.

"Then we get him away from them," he whispered as the two walked over to Moxxie. "Excuse me, sir,"

"Yeah?" Moxxie asked, turning to the shark demons.

"We, uh, found something that may belong to you outside," he told him. "We thought that you could look and confirm that the item belongs to you."

"What item? I got my wallet right here," Moxxie said, holding up his wallet connected to a chain.

"Uh… your car's currently being jacked," the other said.

"I didn't drive here and I don't have a car," Moxxie said as his eyes narrowed at them "Wait a second… I know you two!"

"Mox, who are these guys?" Loona asked, noticing the commotion.

"...Aw shit, jig is up," the shark demon said as he and his partner pulled their guns out of their coats, aiming them at Moxxie and Loona. This did not go unnoticed and the room was soon filled with shouting and yelling as everyone realized what was going on.

"What is going on here?!" Gaap shouted, standing up to his directing chair while Verosika was startled by this.

Suddenly popping up around the lounge were more shark demons and imp thugs that were dressed like mobsters, some of them disguised as guests.

"What the fuck?!" Loona exclaimed as Bella got close to her.

"Nobody move!" one of the shark mobsters declared.

"Really? You all must be very dumb to think you can hold up in my resort," Gaap said as he narrowed his eyes at them and raised his hand.

"YAAAH!"

Gaap turned to see Verosika held by a larger shark demon who held her at gunpoint. "Sir!" Gaap turned to see his employees kneeling down, including Margaret, Clara, Verosika's posse, and Bella.

"Daddy!" Kanya shouted as she was held hostage by another pair of shark and alligator demons.

"Kanya! Margaret! Verosika!" Gaap shouted.

"Don't think of trying somethin'!" the shark demon declared. "Would be bad for the hotel's rep if some big-name celebrities were to die in it, wouldn't it? You don't want to risk that, would you?"

Gaap growled at this, lowering his hand while glaring at the mobsters.

"You'll never get away with this," Gaap declared.

"Well if you wish for everyone to not get turned to swizz cheese, then we'll just grab our guy and on our way to get-" The leader turned only to find Moxxie missing, along with Loona. "Hey! Where's the fucking red imp!?"


While the mobsters searched for him, Moxxie was hiding under a pool table in another room. He had snuck away during all the confusion in the other room and was now listening for the mobsters.

"Mox?" someone asked.

The imp was startled, turning around only to find Loona who hid under the table with him. "Loona? What are you doing here? Those guys are only after me."

"I thought dad sent you here to protect me," Loona pointed out.

"I'm trying to get them to look for me so that I can off them one by one," Moxxie explained.

"Just what the fuck is going on?" Loona asked him "Why are these mobsters after you? Do you owe them money or something?"

"No, it's… a lot more complicated than that," Moxxie said.

"How complicated?"

The two heard another voice, turning around and seeing that Ryan, the son of one of Verosika's posse, was also under the pool table. "What the… why are you here, kid?" Loona asked.

"I went to look for my dad until I saw these guys with guns," Ryan responded, looking afraid. "I hid here just as my dad told me whenever I see folks with guns like that. But now he's in trouble…"

Moxxie and Loona looked at the scared incubus kid, feeling sorry for him. "Hey, hey it's going to be okay," Loona reassured the boy. "Your dad's not going to get harmed."

Moxxie looked down in guilt. "Yeah, it's going to be alright. I promise that nothing's going to happen to anyone here, including your dad."

"R-Really?" Ryan asked, wiping his tears. "Just… why are they here?"

Moxxie looked at him and then at Loona before he sighed. "Okay, the complicated thing I mentioned… I think those gangsters wanted to use me as leverage against my dad."

"What?" Loona asked him. "So like, is your dad a big time deal?"

"He is where I'm from," Moxxie explained. "Those gangsters are part of a rival gang and, well, they have it out against my dad."

Loona was surprised by this. "Aw shit, Mox…"

"Look, Loona, you need to stay here and watch the kid," Moxxie told her as he stood up.

"But what about you, Mox?" Loona asked him. "Don't you need, like, back up?"

"Don't worry about me," he said as he got out from under the pool table. "After all, this is my mess that I have to clean up…"


Meanwhile, in a dark, creaky, and secluded room, Penzi started opening her eyes as she groaned. She was about to get up, but she found herself chained to a couch, with her hands bound above her head, a lock placed connected to the chains around her as her legs were locked in a stock around her ankles at the end of the couch. She was bound and trapped. "Not again," she muttered before she started to shout. "Hello? Anyone here? Blitz! Lars! Harvey?!"

"Over here!"

She turned to see Lars who had also just woken up and appeared to have a reverse bear-trap locked on his head while chained to his partner, Harvey, who appeared to be strapped to a spine-brace where nails were prepared to drill into his spine.

"What the fuck's going on here?!" Harvey cried out in a panic.

"Glad that you're all awake," said a voice.

Everyone turned to see a television screen on the wall. On it was the clown-masked figure that Lars and Harvey had seen before. "Hello there, hope you enjoyed the nap on the way here."

"Who are you?!" Penzi demanded.

"Oh, Ms. Pen Z. Skirtz, I have nothing against you, you're just here for ransom," the clown told her. "You can call me… Sawdust."

"Sawdust?" Harvey asked.

"THAT'S RIGHT, YOU SONS OF BITCHES!" Sawdust cried out. "You are part of a special game I have planned out."

"Wait a second," Lars said as he looked around. "Where's Blitz?"

"He should be on his way," Sawdust explained. "After all, that's the game…"


Following the address on the tricycle, Blitz now found himself in front of a house. The house had seen better days, since it was now in a worn down state.

"This house…" Blitz said as he looked around, finding the area oddly familiar. But he didn't care, he knew he had to save the three.

He went to the door, which he found unlocked. As he entered inside, he held his gun up. But then, the door closed behind him and he heard the door as well as the windows being locked.

"AW SHIT!" Blitz cried out before he heard a voice.

"Hello, Blitzo," said Sawdust on the intercoms.

Blitzo glared. "Alright, dipshit, who are you and why did you kidnap my client and partners? Penzi I get, but why those two?"

"Oh, I just wanted you to play a little game, Blitzo," Sawdust explained. "I am Sawdust, and right now you're here in my own maze of traps. If you wish to save Ms. Skirtz and the two bozos, you have to go through my traps before time runs out… and survive, of course."

"Aw shit," Blitz said before dodging a paint bucket swinging in his direction… only for a paint bucket to swing in from the other direction and hit him. "YAH!" he cried out before rolling through the hall.

When he hit the counter in another room, he looked up and saw a nail gun shooting at him. He dodged the nails. "Christ on a stick, what the fuck?!" he shouted before he felt something sharp on the floor. "OW!" he cried, seeing sharp nails sticking out.

When Blitz backed away, he looked up and dodged the iron board that was covered in blades that almost fell down on top of him. He ran out of the room and through the rundown hallways, looking for Penzi and his partners. When flames burst through the wall, Blitz dodged the flames, but he ended up slipping on some oil as he fell onto his back. He looked up and saw some large teeth coming for him, which he moved out of the way to avoid getting chomped up.

"Okay, this is starting to feel-" He dodged some wrenches and hammers flying at him along with some bricks. "Familiar…" he said as he grabbed on a door knob, only to be shocked by it. "YAAAAAAH!" he cried out as he let go, looking all burnt up. "Oh wait… now I remember!" he shouted before he dodged an upcoming ax.

Blitz stopped for a moment, thinking things over. He realized that Sawdust would probably want to monitor his progress, which meant that he might have cameras hidden around the place. He turned to the wall and pulled off some of the dust-covered portraits, revealing cameras behind the 'eyes' on the portrait. Blitz quickly pulled out and dismantled the camera before he started to look for more hidden cameras to do the same to them.

"Alright, you want me to play your games?" Blitz asked with a grin. "I'll play your games..."


In a hidden room, Sawdust watched as his cameras went offline, one by one. "What?!" Sawdust shouted as he punched his panels and stood up. "That rotten, no good, rat bastard! He thinks he can just try to ruin my games?!" He noticed another camera going offline, leaving nothing but static. "Looks like I'm going to go after him myself."

He left the hidden and began looking for Blitz. Sawdust snarled as he ran down the old hallway… when he heard a voice.

"Oh Sonny-Boy! It's me, your mother!"

Sawdust paused, hearing his name called out. He turned around to the source, a laundry chute "Mommy… is that you?" he asked, reaching out to the chute. "Have you come back to me?" he asked, opening the chute-

PUNCH!

Only to get punched in the face. When he got up, he saw Blitz grinning at him. "Sorry, Sonny, but I'm no one's mommy."

Sawdust glared at Blitz. "YOU!" he shouted as he launched himself towards the imp, only to fall down into the laundry chute when Blitz jumped over him and kicked him in the back. "YAAH-Hohoee!"

At the bottom of the chute, Sawdust fell into a barrel of clothes and he ended up rolling down a track until the barrel was stopped by a hook, causing Sawdust to be launched to a wooden elevator. He hit the rope that was connected to a polo hammer, which pressed a button, which sent him up.

"WOOOAAAH!" Sawdust cried out throughout the experience as he rose up to another room. He then sprang off from the elevator as he ended up falling into a piano, which he was trapped inside.

Blitz walked in, laughing. "HA! How does it feel to be given a taste of your own medicine?" he asked while heading over to the piano. "It feels so good after all these years… McCaliber."

Sawdust glared as Blitz removed his mask, revealing the face of an older imp with messy blond hair, white blotches over his left eye, and an unshaven face. "That's Sonny McCaliber to you, you rat bastard!"

"Yeah, yeah, look kid, what is your deal, and where's Penzi and my partners?" Blitz demanded.

Sonny McCaliber just began to rant. "It's because of you and those shit-stain napkins that my childhood was ruined! Do you have any idea how much I've been through?! My parents grounded me for tearing the house apart, even though they left me home alone, and then when they left again for Pride, they never returned!"

"What? Did they… abandon you?" Blitz asked.

"No, the annual purge happened, but I was stuck grounded for years in my own room! Still remembering you burglars trying to steal my shit," Sonny said. "And I knew what I was going to do to you all if I ever saw your faces again!"

Blitz looked at McCaliber with pity. "Wow, your folks sound like shit," he said. "Look I'm sorry for trying to steal your shit years ago, and about your parents and living alone here. But if you ask me, it sounds like what you need is some help. I mean, living in a place like this all alone isn't that healthy. Do you get out much?"

Sonny looked down, thinking of what Blitz said. "Not really. I mean, sometimes for supplies. But most of the time, I've been coming up with a bunch of traps for you guys. I was gonna place you in a vacuum tube up your ass that'll connect to your mouth."

Blitz looked disturbed. "Okay, how about this? I let you go, you show me where my guys are, and we'll just call it even and forget about this whole thing. How does that sound?"

Sonny thought about it. "I… okay," he said as Blitz helped him up.


Shortly afterward, Penzi, Lars, and Harvey saw Blitz coming in with Sonny.

"Blitz! Thank Lucifer you're here!" Lars cried out.

"Get us out of here!" Harvey cried out as well.

"Relax, this guy here is going to help me free you three," Blitz said as Sonny went to unlock Penzi's bonds. "Hope you weren't under shock or anything, Ms. Skirtz?"

"Don't worry, this isn't my first kidnapping. It comes with the job," she said. Once Penzi was freed from her chains and stocks, she got up from the couch as Sonny went to free Lars and Harvey. "So this is Sawdust, I assume?"

"Yeah, turns out he was this kid whose house me, Lars, and Harvey once tried to loot… boy did that damage him good," Blitz responded. "Maybe… you think you could help the kid out? He doesn't have any parents."

Penzi gave in a thought before she turned to Sonny. "Hey, Sawdust. Are you willing to pay back for kidnapping employees from Khan Industries?"

"Um… I was going to have you for ransom…" Sonny said after releasing Lars and Harvey. "I don't have much money, really. I spent all of it on basic necessities and traps." He looked around. "Maybe I should have spent more on maintenance. But the locks on the windows, the big television screen, the hidden cameras and intercom… it all ate up my budget. That is why I had to kidnap people in the first place. To fund all this." He paused. "Man, when I say it all out loud like this, it's kinda sad…"

"Then perhaps we could settle for an alternative," Penzi said as she brought out a card from her cleavage and handed it to him. "Come to Pride and I'll help you get a job at Khan Industries. I'm sure Mr. Khan would be interested in you for his security department."

"You… want to hire me?" Sonny asked her in surprise.

"It's the least I can do," Penzi told him. "So just give me your resume and we can keep this incident between us."

"Wow, thanks, Ms. Skirtz," Sonny thanked her with a smile. "I should pick out my old suit. I hope it isn't too small for me though…"

"We should just get out of here and head back to Pride," Blitz said with a sigh. "Glad Moxxie missed out on this experience."


Back at the Triton Resort, the thugs searching the hotel for Moxxie were checking the different rooms.

"He's gotta be around here somewhere," one thug said while looking around. "Any luck, Darryl?" he asked, turning around only to see Darryl laying on the floor dead. "Darryl?!"

The other thugs went to Darryl's body, checking on him. "He's dead from… a fork to the back of his head?"

"A fork?!" another responded before noticing a second thug fall on the floor, dead with a knife through his face. "What the… how is that possible?!"

"Keep your guard up-AACK!" a thug shouted as he got his throat cut open by Moxxie from behind. The other thugs saw their member drop dead as Moxxie held up the knife.

"It's him!" the remaining thug shouted as he pulled up his gun. Before he could fire, Moxxie threw his knife at him. The knife didn't kill him, but it distracted the thug long enough for Moxxie to grab a gun from his last kill. The red imp then held up the gun and shot the last of the group's brains out.

"Now for the rest," Moxxie said as he saw one thug he missed slip away. "Aw crumbs."


The thug ran down back to the lounge, where other mobsters were grouped.

"I just saw Moxxie! Killed a group at the west wing!" he told the leader.

"What? Then we go down there and get him!" the leader responded.

"Actually, there's no need," Moxxie said, after jumping up and riding down on the luggage carrier. Holding up a gun and some utensils that he threw at the mobsters, stabbing and injuring them. He then jumped off the luggage carrier and dove for safety as he was shot at.

The leader backed away and turned to his men. "What are you waiting for? Get him!" he ordered.

Moxxie peeked out from behind his cover and looked around, noticing that everyone was missing. "Where are all the hostages?"


The hostages had been split up into different rooms, with Gaap and Kanya being watched over in one room.

"You know, none of you are getting away with this alive," Gaap declared.

"As long as we have those celebrities hostage, you can't do anything!" one thug declared in an overconfident tone. "Wouldn't want dead celebs to tarnish your hotel's reputation, do ya?"

Gaap and Kanya just glared at them, Kanya muttering "I didn't think shooting for a commercial would turn out this literal..."

"Things will turn in our favor eventually, Kanya," Gaap reassured her, though Kanya was just grateful that a certain mermaid Sinner had already left for the day and wasn't in danger.


Verosika and her posse were in another room, with their hands tied up while they were being held at gunpoint.

"Sika, I need to go find my son," Ace whispered to Verosika.

"Don't worry, Ace, we'll find him," Verosika reassured him.

"What are youz whispering about?!" a thug demanded while holding his gun up to her.

"Just talking about how small your dick is," Verosika shot back at him, making the other thugs in the room snicker.

"Quiets!" the thug told his men, while sending Verosika a glare.


In another room, the staff were being kept, including Margaret, Clara, and Bella.

"I can't believe this is happening," Margaret muttered. "And where is Loona?!"

"I think I saw her follow Moxxie," Bella mentioned. "Maybe they're going for help."

"Or they left us," Margaret muttered.

"Hey, we told you to be quiet!" one thug told them off. "Or else we'll be starting to pop your brains out!"

"Hey, easy there…" Clara told him.

"Don't you fucking tell me to go easy! I'm the crazy one here!" the thug with wild white hair declared with an insane look. He grabbed Bella and held her at gunpoint. "Now unless any of you want to see her get splattered all over yours, you better shut up and do as we say!"

"No! Let me goooo!" Bella cried out, her eyes wide with fear.

"Alright, we'll just… not talk," Margaret said as he tried to ease the thug while giving Bella an apologetic look.

"Good!" the psychotic thug said with a maniacal laugh. "I'm so hopped up on coke right now."

"Look, just let Bella go, take me instead," Clara offered to the thug. "I'm from the Ars Goetia, I'm more valuable to have as a hostage."

"Clara, don't," Margaret said to her.

The thug turned to Clara, looking doubtful. "Which branch?"

"The… Laboras branch," Clara confirmed.

The thug just scoffed at her. "Ha! Oh, you seriously think you're worth something? Everyone knows that yo' family's broke!"


Back at the lounge, Moxxie was fighting the thugs despite being outnumbered. After running out of ammo, he leapt onto one thug and jammed a pen into one thug's eye before the thug could shoot him. The thug growled but didn't go down, the two crashing onto the filming set, the thug losing his gun. The thug then grabbed one of the cables and tried to strangle Moxxie with it. Moxxie started to choke, but managed to grab a gun that the thug had dropped during the struggle and shoot him with it.

Unwrapping the cable from his neck, he was also bitten by a shark thug before Moxxie shot him through the mouth and the back of the head. He saw another coming toward him and Moxxie aimed his gun at them, but then got another headache, giving the thug a chance to tackle him to the ground.

"Got you, shorty!" the big thug declared as Moxxie squirmed and bit under his grasp.

WHACK!

Only for the big thug to feel a blunt weapon hit him at the head. He fell down as Moxxie squirmed his way out. He looked up and saw that his savior was Loona.

"Loona!" Moxxie said, surprised to see her. "Where's the kid?"

"Don't worry, he's safe," Loona responded.


In a storage closet, Ryan had headphones on, listening to music while playing a game on Loona's phone.


Loona and Moxxie saw a few thugs still around and trying to regroup. "This is definitely coming out of my paycheck," Loona said while she grabbed Moxxie and the two rode on the luggage cart through the lounge, Moxxie shooting the remaining thugs while Loona grabbed the last one, who she lifted up rather easily since he was an imp.

"Alright, pal, tell me where are the hostages or my friend here's gonna make you eat lead!" Loona snarled at the thug while Moxxie aimed at his head.

"T-T-They were all taken to different rooms!" he stammered.

"Show us," Loona demanded, baring her fangs. The thug cowardly nodded as he agreed to lead them to the rooms.


In the room where the staff were being held, Bella tried to seduce the thug holding her hostage, using her natural succubus charm.

"So um… I betcha you got a lot of tattoos everywhere," Bella commented while hearts fluttered around "Say, why don't you not hold me by the neck and just… around the waist…" she said, grinding herself against the thug.

The thug looked entranced by her charm. "Oh yeah…"

"Just loosen up your grip, will ya?" Bella said while stroking his chin as her charm was working.

"Don't fall for her charm, you chicken-piss for brains!" another thug scolded. "She's a succubus! She's trying to trick you!"

"Oh, really?" the thug asked before they then heard a knock on the door.

The thug went to check the door. "Who is this?"

"I-It's Ward."

"Ward? What the fuck do you want-" As he opened the door, he was shot dead. This startled the thug holding Bella, who pointed his gun up at the door, only for Moxxie to shoot a hole in his head, making him drop down and let go of Bella.

"Bella, are you okay?" Moxxie asked her.

"Uh-huh," Bella replied while Clara pulled her back protectively.

"Look out!" Clara tried to warn Moxxie before he got hit from behind by a baseball bat, launching him into the wall.

"Get him while he's down!" one of the thugs shouted, only to be hit from behind by Margaret, who had grabbed a folding chair and had swung it into the thug.

The other employees saw this as their chance to fight back while the attention of their captors was on Moxxie. The employees used their own fists or whatever they could get their hands on, while Clara used her tail to trip over a thug while moving Bella aside.

"Thanks," Moxxie said as Margaret went over to him and helped him up. He pointed to her folded chair. "Could I have that?"

He took the folded chair and as the thug that Margaret hit started to get up, Moxxie stabbed him through the eye with the leg of the chair. Moxxie then used his tail to grab the thug's gun. "DUCK!" he shouted and most of the employees did as Moxxie shot the thugs one by one, making sure to not hit any of the employees. The thugs were blasted with bullets to their heads, making them fall.

Seeing that all of the thugs were down and all of the staff were alive, Moxxie let out a sigh of relief.


In the other room, Verosika and her posse had thugs surrounding them.

"Now yous succubi should stay put, ya hear?!" spoke the gator demon thug.

"You all should behave, or else we'll do something… like having fun with you demons of Lust…" the imp thug grinned.

"Oh you wouldn't!" Verosika hissed while covering her sundress skirt down.

The door to the room suddenly swung open, causing the thugs to turn around as a thug went to check outside… only to be taken down, a whacking sound being heard. The thugs held their weapons up before seeing their comrade be thrown back into the room, flying over their heads. While they were distracted, Loona dashed into the room and kicked one thug, taking his gun.

The gator thug saw and charged at her, about to snap her with her jaws. But Loona ducked down, brought out a knife, and launched it up through his long lips before kicking him on top of a small imp.

"GAH!" the imp thug cried out.

"Loona, watch out!" Verosika shouted as Loona twirled around and used the claws of her toes to slash at a thug's face. She then bit another thug on the arm, making him drop his gun.

"GAAAH!" he screamed as Loona let go of him, grabbed a chair, and hit him on the head, knocking him out. The last thug went to attack her from behind, but Loona turned around and bit his neck, sinking her teeth in.

The thug backed away, feeling the bite marks on his bleeding neck. This gave Loona an opportunity to grab the alligator thug and swing him by the tail to knock the last thug over, making them crash to the wall. A portrait ended up falling on top of their heads.

Loona turned to Verosika and her posse, going to untie them. "Are you all okay?"

"We're fine," Verosika responded, getting up and hugging her. "Thank you for saving us, Loony, and I'm so glad that you're alright! Please don't make me worry about you like that ever again, alright?"

"Don't worry, Rosi, hopefully I won't," Loona responded as the two went to untie the rest of the posse.

"My son!" Ace shouted as he stood up after he was untied. "Where's my son, Ryan?"

"Ryan? Don't worry, he's safe," Loona reassured him. "I can show you where he is once Moxxie finishes taking care of the other thugs."


In Gaap and Kanya's room, one of the thugs in charge of watching them couldn't help but make comments about the hotel.

"You know, for a fancy resort, it's a lot more shoddy than I pictured it," he taunted, pissing off Gaap even more.

"Why you little-"

"Na-a-ah! You can't hurt us if you don't want those celebrities' blood on your hands?" the thug threatened mockingly, making Gaap look at him angrily. "Heh, yeah, know your place." He then heard his radio buzzing and the thug picked it up. "Whadda ya want?"

"Hey, this is Loona, telling you that most of your guys are dead," Loona announced through the radio. "Also, Verosika and her posse are safe, so Gaap, if you're hearing this through an open channel… have fun with these punks."

The gangsters looked pale, while Gaap and Kanya grinned wickedly. When the gangsters turned around, they saw Gaap's smile and screamed. They revved up their legs to run out of the room… until their bodies all started to inflate and bulge…

BOOM!

And they exploded in the bloodiest and goriest manner. Bones, blood, and organs decorated the room after the bloody explosion. Gaap stepped out of the room and bellowed a laugh.

"BWAHAHA! Time for my own fun," he said with a grin before he went hunting for the rest of the thugs who dared to invade his hotel…


At Khan Industries, Blitz and the others had made it back and were outside Khan's office, where Penzi stepped forward.

"I'm going to speak with Mr. Khan," Penzi told them. "Hopefully he'll understand why we took so long."

"Yeah, hopefully so," Blitz said while seeing Penzi leave. Blitz sighed and sat on the couch while looking at Lars and Harvey. The three were silent for the moment before Blitz spoke up. "Okay, you two must have something on your mind. You've been awful quiet on the way back"

"Oh, we were just thinking about what happened, and… well…" Lars said while looking down.

"We don't think we're cut out for this, Blitz," Harvey said while looking up to Blitz. "Don't get us wrong, we like working with you, Blitz. It's just… this kind of stuff, it's just not our style."

"We prefer the petty crime life, honestly," Lars admitted. "You make a dishonest but quiet living that way. No going around dealing with Deadly Sins and old enemies trying to kill you with their traps…"

"We hope you understand," Harvey said to Blitz. "It's nothing against you or anything…"

"Hey, blood river under the bridge, guys," Blitz reassured them. "I know this kind of thing is too much for ya, so I won't force you guys into something that's out of your league."

"Thanks, Blitz," Harvey responded. "And for what it's worth, it was nice to be working with you again like old times."

"Even if it ended up going off the rails," Lars said. "But we wish you luck here with Khan Industries."

"And hey, we'll be seeing ya around from time to time," Harvey said, both raising their hands up to Blitz.

Blitz smiled and shook their hands. "Yeah, I'll be seeing you guys around too, and it was nice working alongside you guys again."

"Just take care, Blitz," Harvey said, the two smiling at Blitz.

"Of yourself and Loona," Lars added.

Blitz then watched as the two left while he waved them goodbye as Penzi watched up to him. "They're leaving already?"

"Yeah, they, um, decided that this kind of work is a bit much for them," Blitz said. "So, um, how'd it go with talking to the big cat?"

"Oh, it went well," she said. "He's interested in McCaliber's traps and wishes to hire him. And Blitz… I just want to say how much I appreciate you saving me."

"Well, someone had to," Blitz responded. "But I appreciate what you've done for us as well. Like covering for me just now. Thanks."

Penzi gave a rare smile as she sat on the couch to face Blitz. "You know, Blitz, I know this kind of work isn't cut out for most, but you have the skills for it. Skills that Khan is attracted to, like how he's attracted to my skills. So all I can say is… we have to watch our backs."

Blitz gave her a nod. "Yeah, looking out for each other is the best option around here."

"Especially when dealing with his own inner circle," Penzi added. "Try not to step on some tails."

"I'll try not to step on yours," Blitz joked, which Penzi found amusing. "Well, I should get going to pick up my Loony and Moxxie. They're probably having the time of their life."

"Don't forget your payment," Penzi said as she handed Blitz an envelope of souls. "We'll be seeing you tomorrow for the next job."

"Thanks, Penzi," Blitz responded, but before he left, he turned to her. "Just… be careful, alright?"

Penzi nodded. "I will," she said as she saw Blitz leave. Once she was alone, she stood up, thinking of heading back to her office…

Until a tail wrapped around her arms to her waist and lifted her up in the air. "Oh!" she cried out, seeing that she was wrapped up by stony but organic coils. "Oh no," she said, knowing who the coils belonged to.

"Well, well, Msss. Skirtzzz," said the stony looking snake whose head was lowered down. He appeared to have yellow, swirling eyes and wore a black sleeveless suit and green tie. His whole body was made of stone.

"Kaa…" Penzi groaned as she kicked around, trying to get out of his restraints, only for her legs to get wrapped up by his coils. She tried turning her shins into blades. "Let me go, Kaa, or I'll-"

"Cut me? Not this time," Kaa said with a grin. "I managed to shed more of my skin, so now my body's invulnerable to your bladed shins… for now," he said while his tail lifted her head up, forcing her to make eye contact with him.

"Just what do you want?" Penzi demanded.

"I saw that you made a new friend, that imp in the black coat," Kaa said with a smile as his eyes swirled, targeting her eyes. "Oh but don't you worry, you can trust in me…"


Back at the Triton Resort, the dead gangsters had been placed in body bags while Herman was leading the cleaning crew to bleach out the blood stains while security tape was spread around.

Loona escorted Ryan outside the resort, where he spotted Ace with the posse. "Dad!"

"Ryan!" Ace shouted as he ran up to hug his son, the two embracing. "Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?"

"Don't worry, that nice Hellhound and imp helped me," Ryan said, pointing to Loona and Moxxie.

"Thank you, both of you," Ace told the two while hugging Ryan protectively.

"It's no problem," Loona responded.

"Bye!" Ryan waved as he walked away with his dad.

Loona smiled, but noticed Moxxie looking down while rubbing his arm. "Hey, you alright?"

"Yeah, just… crumbs, I really ruined things for everyone just by being here," Moxxie replied. "Those gangsters were after me. They could have gotten everyone killed…"

"But you didn't," Loona pointed out. "I mean, you'd think there would be tighter security around here, but that is besides the point. You helped save everyone. We won. Focus on that."

Moxxie looked up to Loona and nodded. "Yeah, and thanks for saving me back there," he said. "I appreciate it."

Loona nodded. "Don't mention it, Mox. And the stuff you told me earlier… you haven't told dad, have you?"

Moxxie shook his head while looking down. "And there is one other thing that I… kinda lied to your father about."

"Really? What's that?" Loona asked him.

"I… lied about my age," Moxxie responded, shocking Loona. "I told him I was in my thirties."

"How young are you?" Loona asked him.

"Twenty-one," he admitted. "I lied about my age because, well, I didn't want him to treat me like a kid. But I know that your dad's going to figure me out sooner or later, especially if the past keeps coming back to me."

"Well, your secret's safe with me, Mox," Loona promised. "I won't snitch on ya."

"Thanks, Loona," Moxxie replied, glancing up at Verosika who was talking with Margaret. "So you and Verosika… man, your dad has some dating history."

"Yeah, back before she came to fame, actually," Loona admitted while looking at Verosika. She sighed. "You know, for a brief time in my life, I looked up to her as a mother figure."

"Really?" Moxxie asked.

"Yeah," Loona admitted while looking down. "And sometimes I do wish I had a more prominent maternal figure in my life… don't tell dad that I said that."

"Hey, your secret is safe with me," Moxxie said, getting Loona to look up as the two shared a smile with each other.

"Oh Moxxie!" Bella shouted as she walked up to hug the imp. "You were so thrilling in there! The way you saved me, what a hero!"

"Oh, um… it's no problem, Bella," Moxxie replied nervously.

"I just want to thank you for saving me in any way you like…" Bella said, smiling slyly.

Moxxie turned to Loona, who just sighed. "Oh come on, Mox. Go on and enjoy yourself. You should allow yourself to cut loose, at least for the rest of the day."

Moxxie gave it some thought before turning to Bella. "Oh, what the hell," he said as he grabbed Bella and lifted her over his shoulder while heading back into the resort.

"Oh, how forward you are…" Bella said with a smile.

Loona gave a small smirk as she saw Moxxie carrying Bella away. She then turned back to Verosika and saw that she was done talking to Margaret. She sighed and walked up to her. "Hey, Rosi."

"Loona," Verosika said as she turned to her. "So I talked it over with Gaap and Margaret. Don't worry, I put in a good word for you. But we decided to reschedule the commercial shoot for another time, so you'll probably be seeing me around here again."

"That's great," Loona replied, her tail wagging behind her. "Also," she said as she pulled out her phone. "I got a phone now, so we can exchange contact information and, well, you can talk to me whenever you want… if you want to, of course."

Verosika smiled. "Yeah, we should keep in touch," she said while pulling up her own phone so the two could exchange contact information. "You know, this whole experience has got me thinking that I need a bodyguard. Someone like a muscular imp… or a Hellhound."

"That would probably be a good idea," Loona responded while a black van pulled up.

"What the fuck's going on around here?" Blitz asked, seeing everyone outside as he walked over to Loona. "Hey Loony Tune, how's-" He then spotted his old ex, Verosika, and he froze in his tracks. "Sika…"

"Blitzo," Verosika responded. Though she didn't look thrilled to see him again, she decided to not antagonize him. Not after everything that went down today.

"Hey dad, you wouldn't believe the day I had," Loona responded while another body bag got carried out.

"What just happened here?" Blitz asked.

"A commercial shoot that went off the rails," Loona replied.

"Your daughter and that employee of yours saved everyone, including me, from a hostage situation," Verosika said. "I'll admit, she actually turned out well despite being raised by you."

"Yeah, she did," Blitz said in agreement. "Where's Moxxie at?"

"Oh don't worry, I told him he could enjoy himself after this fiasco," Loona said.

"Really? Well good for Mox," Blitz said while glancing at Verosika. Their eyes briefly met for a moment before they both turned away awkwardly.

"Well, I should get going," Verosika said as she started heading to her limo.

"Oh… really? You're not sticking around?" Loona asked, looking disappointed.

"Hey, there's a lot to do, music to make, and Loona," Verosika said as she looked back at her. "I'll text you later, alright?"

Loona gave a smile. "Yeah, let's keep in touch."

Verosika smiled and joined with her posse in the limo. Loona sighed, seeing her off. Blitz heard the sigh and looked up to his daughter.

"Hey, you okay over there?" Blitz asked her.

"Yeah, just… seeing Rosi again… made me realize how much I missed her." Loona admitted.

Blitz shifted his eyes down, thinking something over before sighing. "Well, if you want to start spending more time with her, I won't stop you."

Loona turned to Blitz. "Really?"

"Hey, I know that you used to look up to her and still do," Blitz admitted. "Just because me and Sika aren't on… good terms with each other, doesn't mean you shouldn't be allowed see her once in a while."

In response to this, Loona hugged Blitz. "Thank you, dad," she told him while Blitz hugged her back.

"No problem, kiddo," Blitz replied, smiling. "Now tell me all about this hostage situation…"


Away from the Resort, Kanya had snuck off after talking with her dad. She was wearing a hoodie and pants, covering herself up for once. She was in a pier town near the Triton Resort, the town full of more aquatic-looking Sinners and demons, including immigrants from other Rings. As Kanya looked around while trying to keep a low profile, she heard a voice.

"Kanya."

She paused and turned around, smiling when she saw someone in an alley. "I know that voice anywhere," Kanya said as she entered the alley.

Crystal wheeled herself toward Kanya in a wheelchair, which she often used due to her mermaid-like appearance, though she was still capable of slithering around without the chair. "Are you okay, Kanya? I've heard about what happened at the resort."

"Yeah, I am. Thank Lucifer that those armed guys didn't have any holy weapons on them or else things could have ended very differently," Kanya replied while removing her hood after walking towards Crystal. She knelt down to give Crystal… a kiss.

They kissed for a long time. Eventually they ended their kiss, though Crystal looked a bit worried. "Are you sure we should be doing this?" she asked.

"You know we can't do this at the resort," Kanya pointed out. "I know that this isn't ideal, but the last thing I want is for everyone, including daddy, to know about our relationship. Right now he doesn't suspect anything, especially since he doesn't know that I share his taste for beautiful women, and I intend to keep it that way," she said while patting Crystal's hand.

Crystal nodded. She still had her doubts, but she decided to put them aside for the moment. "On the bright side, I think being all this secretive and sneaky is honestly giving me a sexual thrill."

Kanya chuckled and held up Crystal's hand. "Come on, I know a private spot we can go to," she said while leading Crystal to somewhere where they could have some fun with each other.


Meanwhile, Gaap and Margaret were in the security room of the Triton Resort. They were reviewing the footage from the cameras, wondering how those gangsters managed to get in without being noticed.

"Our main cameras only show what happened up to the morning before Verosika arrived," Margaret said. "After that, the footage was completely erased." She looked down sadly. "I… I'm so sorry that this happened under my watch, sir. Those mobsters got in without our knowledge, and… this hasn't happened before. I… I let you down," she said while lowering her head, her ears dropping. She already thought that Gaap was going to blame her for this.

"Margaret, about what happened today…" Gaap said as he stood up, hovering menacingly over Margaret. His hand raised up and she shut her eyes, expecting punishment… only for him to pat her shoulder. "I do not blame you in the slightest."

She looked up at him, her expression surprised. "You… you don't?"

"No, because I know that it isn't your fault," Gaap reassured her before looking more concerned. "Because someone here let those mobsters into the resort and destroyed the evidence."

Her eyes widened. "But… that would mean…"

"We have a traitor in the midst," Gaap declared, his eyes narrowing. "And right now, it's our job to root out this traitor and make them pay for endangering the reputation of my hotel…"

Margaret gave him a nod. "Don't worry, sir, I promise to make that my top priority."

"Oh, I know you will, my dear," Gaap said, smiling. He knew she couldn't possibly be the traitor, because he had no doubts about her loyalty. He had ensured it.

"There is one more thing," Margaret remembered. "Those mobsters were after someone. What do you think of that imp, Moxxie? The one Loona knows…"

"Hmm, honestly, I initially just wrote him off as just another imp," Gaap admitted. "But… apparently, there is more to him than I thought." He thought about it before turning to Margaret. "Look into his background. Find out about his connections, his relatives, which Ring he's from…" He tapped on the panels to replay some footage. "He is one of the Hellborns associated with Stolas, so we need to keep a close eye on them. They are our leverage over him, after all."

Gaap replayed some footage from previous nights in the hotel rooms. In every room and suite, he had placed hidden cameras and bugs that he used to secretly monitor his guests. And right now he had pulled up footage of Stolas… talking to the living witches that came to Hell.

"You all need to be sent back to the Demon Realm immediately before you cause any more trouble," Stolas said in the footage, which made Gaap hum as he thought to himself what he could do with this damning information…


Meanwhile, in Khan's office, Shere Khan was looking over Blitz's file again while sipping some jasmine tea.

"Hmm, you have had a very interesting life, Mr. Blitzo," Shere Khan commented while looking over Blitz's history in his file. This included newspaper articles about a fire at the circus, a photo of a jester imp in white make-up that was labeled 'Fizzarolli', a picture of Verosika Mayday, and the photos that interested him the most…

These photos showed Blitz and Loona with a rather interesting group in Pentagram City. This group consisted of Luz, Amity, Eda, Willow, and Gus, the last two he knew personally.

"Oh Mr. Khan, sssir," spoke Kaa as he showed up at the door.

"Yes, Kaa?" Shere Khan asked as he closed the file and looked at his yes man.

"Penzi is ready for you, sssir," Kaa replied with a grin. "She's ready for her… payment."

Shere Khan smiled back as he got up from his chair. "Of course, I'll be on my way for her," he said as he headed to the door.


Meanwhile, in the Greed Ring, Stu was meeting up with a shark demon in a mobster suit. Stu was carrying a bag and they were both in an alleyway near a parked car.

"You got the stiff, Stu?" the shark demon asked.

"I sure do, Alessio," Stu replied as he threw the bed down. He then opened it up, revealing its occupant was the shark demon responsible for leading the hostage situation at the Triton Resort.

"Oh man, it was so dark in here!" he cried out.

"You should be worried about more than your fear of the dark," said a voice.

The shark paused and slowly turned around to see one imp that he didn't want to cross. This imp was about as tall as Blitz and resembled Moxxie in appearance, but with white markings around his black eye shadow. His tail was crooked and bent with white accents near the base and in the middle of the tail fork. His horns and hair were similar to Moxxie's but bigger and slightly more jagged, with his skin being a darker shadow of red and his legs appearing to be plantigrade, rather than digitigrade. One of his fangs had a golden fang as a replacement. He wore a red high-collar shirt, a navy blue coat with light blue accents, thin red stripes, red buttons, and red lining. He also wore dark blue pants with thin red stripes, and black and red-heeled dress shoes. On top of that, he wore a black fedora with a red and white band.

"I heard that one of my rivals came after my blood," he states while giving the gangster a glare. "I am not happy about that." He put on some brass knuckles.

"P-Please, don't hurt me, Mr. Crimson!" the gangster begged. "T-Tell you what, maybe we could forget the whole thing. My whole gang's dead anyway!"

"Yeah, except for you," Crimson said as he snapped his fingers. Stu and Alessio held up the shark gangster, allowing Crimson to punch the guy across his face. "You think-" He punched him with a right hook. "That you can just-" He then delivered a kick to him. "Hurt me through my son?!" He grabbed the shark's hair and kept punching him more with his brass knuckles.

The gangster's face was a bleeding mess, blood and teeth on the ground. But Crimson kept beating him until he saw his suit and stopped.

"Well would you look at that," Crimson said as he pointed to the blood stains on his suit. "You made me get my suit dirty…"

"Please…" the gangster begged. Crimson simply grabbed him by the neck and dragged him toward his car. He threw the shark into the open trunk of the car. "I-I'm sorry!"

"Yes, sorry, for trying to attack me," Crimson said while lighting his cigar. "We'll be making an example out of you for anyone else who thinks about trying to mess with Moxxie. Because nobody messes with my son," he declared while nodding to Stu and Alessio, who shut the trunk door down, trapping the shark inside.

"What do you like for us to do to him, boss?" Stu asked him.

Crimson just looked up at the polluted sky. "The usual."


Meanwhile, back in Pride, Amaroq had decided to stay in the Hellhound shelter after going with Honest John and Gideon. So far, she had not regretted her decision.

"Mmm, this meat is great!" Amaroq declared as she ate in the dining hall. She was joined by her other fellow Hellpups.

"I know, right?" another Hellpup responded. "This shelter is the best. We get three good meals a day, the atmosphere's great, warm beds that don't contain fleas and ticks…"

"Not to mention fresh clothes!" a teenage Hellhound added as he raised his fist up. "Now I don't have to wear a neck collar every time!"

Amaroq agreed with her peers. "Yeah, plus we're free to leave whenever we want."

"You got that right, kid," spoke another teenage Hellhound.

"Cough-Cough."

"Hey, are you okay, man?" asked one Hellhound, patting the back of a Hellhound that was of a bloodhound breed.

"I've been feeling sick lately," he admitted as he coughed up some more.

Concerned, the hellhound called out. "Doctor! We need some help!"

"What seems to be the problem?" the shelter doctor asked as she came over. She had a unicorn head, yellow eyes, black bat wings, furry arms, insectoid legs, and a long white coat.

"I haven't been-cough-cough-feeling well, ma'am," the bloodhound responded.

"Here, let me take you to my office," the doctor said as she escorted the bloodhound away from the table, taking him to her office. "We'll take care of you, don't worry."

The bloodhound smiled while being led to her room. "Oh gee, thank you… Dr. Mera."


Alrighty, you know what time it is? Getting to know the OCs!

First off, Frenchy from the first chapter, the succubus chef. Her name is Frenchy because she has a French accent, and is good at cooking. That's the random employee character of the day, folks.

White Flame is pretty much a parody of Snowflame, the DC Comics villain who is powered by cocaine, which is also what White Flame does. We just make him out of a reference to him ever since he's been appearing pretty much recent in popularity. He is a hilariously awesome villain with the most batshit superpower.

Next is Sila D. Cider, an OC owned by TheLonelyOtaku aka animeman18. After showing him the fic, he wishes to include her in as being an old friend to Penzi, which I do thank for him to bringing Penzi's popularity in having many other artists draw my OC, and I'm honored so much that I ended up doing fanart of Penzi with Sila, if you have looked into my DeviantArt page under "JumpZone". She will also make an appearance in Luz Clawthorne soon, as we both wanted a Ms. Bellum expy and after TheLonelyOtaku has commissioned me to draw his OC in my style, I asked him if it's cool to use her for our story and he gave us his blessing to use her.

Another OC is Sonny McCaliber, who is an expy of Kevin McCallister from the first two Home Alone movies. He is also a double of being Jigsaw, which is based off of the one theory about Kevin growing up to be the Jigsaw Killer from the SAW movies.

Lastly, there's Ryan, another kid OC by ultimate-drax, who offered his OC to appear. Ryan is Ace's son who tends to travel with the posse. Just like most bands and their posse tends to bring their kids along. To best describe Ryan is he's kinda like Gossamer from The Looney Tunes Show, where he's like this nice, sweet kid who is polite and friendly.

The song Crystal sang is "Mora's Song" from the Netflix series "Disenchantment" under the suggestion of Moheart7.

As for why the hell is Sonya here… well, you know, when a villain dies in Luz Clawthorne, chances are they appeared in Hell. And if any questions how can Sonya get into Hell and get a job as a doctor, well Helluva Dad isn't as in-sync to Luz Clawthorne necessarily. So some time have passed since then...

Loona and Verosika are more close than they are in canon, since Verosika is introduced to Loona a lot sooner since Blitz adopted her early. To Loona, Verosika is about as close to a mother figure, and it shows how much Verosika cares for Loona, even when things are awkward between her and Blitz.

Oh, and as for why the rest of her posse aren't there, like Kat, Coco and Apple. Well, we figured that they haven't joined yet. But I will say that, Apple has appeared in Luz Clawthorne already… yes, you can guessed who I'm talking about if you check in the previous chapters.

Also yes, Kaa appears to be working for Sher Khan. His appearance closely resembles Onyx from Pokemon, given that he might have died of having to try to digest a large rock he ended up swallowing in The Jungle Book 2. So yeah, he died getting "stoned"…

Another thing of trivia is having John Belushi as Slimer is actually based on who Slimer from Ghostbusters is inspired by John Belushi. Why we have Jon Belushi in Hell? Well, he is a comedian but also he was admittedly in a lot of drugs, to the point where he died of a drug overdose.

Now to answer reviews:

Spantidem7: Be patient.

Moheart7: We edited it out. Sorry about that.

Xndelongchamps: They died after getting hunted down and burned at the stakes for their terrible wrong doings.

Ultimate-drax: Oh you know you should be worried, even at a seemingly-nice looking place she's in right now.

Knight: They're born as animals, just like Sher Khan. They also are talking animals able to think which means they are conscious. Meaning they do have souls that do end up in the afterlife, both heaven and hell.

Matteso585: 1) Yes. 2) It was never suggested that the Exorcists only target Sinners. They target the whole population of Hell, demons included. 3) Probably not.

Francho Almiron: Probably not since this fic takes place years before the Helluva Boss series, given that Loona is a teenager at the time and Moxxie hasn't met Millie yet. But future episodes of it along with potentially Hazbin Hotel will have some material that could help build up the lore.

Blue Tagg: Yes, but don't expect her to meet Moxxie yet.

Shuffollower: Yeah, and we have a lot more to show here.

Stay tuned for the next chapter.
