The fight had left bullet holes and after burns from the Hell Riser's demonic lightning all over V's Paradise. The billboard that was one of the most prominent features had signs of destruction all over it, as it was split in half from the lightning bolt that had hit the building. Sounds of cars and trucks were coming towards the building as Thaddy's truck had started to pull out from the gigantic pile of cars that Kasey had caused from earlier. As it quickly went away from the strip joint, inside the truck was Mat, out of his Hell Riser form, behind the wheel followed by Alistair sitting in the shotgun seat smiling as if he is on a sugar high. In the back seat was Lily sitting behind Alistair while Sila was sitting behind Mat. And in-between the two succubi was Franky, the blue saw-shark demon, he looked nervous as he was tempted to stare and ogle at the two Esiheths but was distracted by the strange cries for help that was coming from the back. He moved up and looked through the back window and a strange bodybag being tied down in the trunk. With a bounce of a pothole, the bodybag moved along with it and a muffled scream came from the bag. Franky looking somewhat sketchy about the scenario said, "Huh boss.. I ain't new to bodybags and hiding shit.. But shouldn't we hide from the Count's men? He might be looking for his club owner and shit."
"Oh don't worry your little fin Franky. By the time we get back, we'll already disappear," Alistair said confidently as he hummed "Black Betty" as he starred out the window while waving his hand in a small circle. With his mouth opened in confusion, Franky starred at the Goetia as he looked at the two succubi on his sides while Mat kept driving Thaddy's truck. He noticed a strange amenity within the truck as he scanned the passengers. Mat kept driving the truck as he looked in the rear view mirror and saw that his mistress was sadden from the club. As he tried to open his mouth, he felt the words reaching his lips but instinctively closed them for no reason as he returned his focus back on driving. The fallen dragon then looked at the group and turned his focus on Alistair who had his hands waving still while he continued to hum. "So.. We're just gonna go back to the Joint then?" He asked the Goetia as he squawked quizzically. "Oh heavens no, I'm not risking our home being invaded by Vinea's men. I know a place where we can hide out for a while, turn here Mat" as he said. Mat turned to the left and down a darken road filled with homeless Sinners. "But what about Kasey!? He's gonna be alone with Thad!" Lily said as she moved herself to Alistair's side, grabbing the collar of his shirt. Alistair calmly grabbed her hand and moved it aside as he said, "Which is why I left my clone to watch him and make sure that Thaddy isn't doing anything dumb while we're gone. Speaking of which, I should probably check up on them." As he pulled up his phone, Alistair started to text on his phone only for Mat to say to him, "Uhhhh does your plan cover magically altered phones?"
"Ha ha ha, your humor could use some work Slithers," Alistair said with a childish laughter in his voice while the fallen dragon gave the Goetia a displeased look. Lily looked confused as she put her hand on Franky's head as he complained slightly, "Who's phone are you texting then?" Lily asked. "Thaddy's. I use it when I leave the house, especially when I leave a clone behind and they use his phone." Everyone looked bizarrely confused as all but Mat looked at the Goetia as he was texting the clone. Alistair looked back to the group as he saw everyone's bizarre look at him. He scanned their faces as he stopped mid-text and saw a strangely disturbing similar expression they were all giving him, then he asked the group, "Is that a problem?" "Uhhh boss.. I know I ain't a part of the group and all.. but even I know that ya shouldn't be using someone else's phone," Franky said to Alistair. "Oh relax, we made a bet a while back. We played my game of Tarot Terror thinking he would win again. Little did he know, that fate was on my side this time," Alistair said as he chuckled viciously. All but Sila sweated during the comment and asked, "How does one even play-" "You don't wanna know," everyone but Alistair answered. Lily took noticed of Franky's answer as she looked him with a wild confusion only to see the saw-shark demon shake slightly thinking about the Tarot based game of Alistair's. As the Goetia kept texting, he looked scarred as he received a message and comically hid his phone as he said quietly, "Not again.." "What?" Mat responded as he noticed Alistair's timid attitude. "It's nothing, just uh.. there! Go over there!" Alistair pointed out as he saw a run down arcade. Mat turning the car towards the building, Franky looked back to the truck and saw that the body bag was still in the truck attempting to escape. "Uhhhh boss.. how do we even know that we ain't even being tracked or followed by his goons?" Franky asked in fear while still looking at the body bag. Alistair laughed as he turned his head to the side and said, "Don't worry, I've been hiding from Vinea and his crew for centuries. Besides, you'll see what I mean."
As the truck was coming to a halt, it stopped right in the parking lot of the run down arcade. With a strange clown as it's mascot that had a big black eye. The building was broken from the top to which it had an opening hole the size of a mini-van, windows were cracked and broken all over with rats running about. Moss were growing on the sides with mushrooms popping out from them. The arcade was known as "Funny Town". Sila had a heavy shiver going down her spine as she looked at the Place. "Shouldn't we be.. elsewhere? This place is fowl looking.." The succubus mother asked as Alistair immediately snapped his fingers and produced an illusion of Sila's regular clothes on her of her regular mini black crop top and spiked collar with her black high top boots and gloves. She looked at the Goetia with a confused stare and he responded, "I apologize Sila, but I couldn't have you running around with you in your lingerie any longer. Should have fixed that earlier." He looked at her quickly and as he felt the car coming to a stop, he started to walk out of the truck with Mat following along. Lily and Sila followed suit as Franky looked scarred as he joined along and said, "Listen boss.. I've seen his men they're able to hunt ANYTHING! What makes ya dink dat-" right before he finished. He saw that the truck looked completely different from before. As it was now a big mini-van with a clown's head on top of the roof with a spring underneath with it bouncing back and forth, smiling as if it was ready to make the biggest joke in history. The saw-shark demon looked flabbergasted as he saw the strange change of their ride.
"I told you Franky, I'm an expert when it comes to hiding from Vinea. Bastard loves clowns too much to suspect them of betrayal. Now let's bring our new friend inside the arcade shall we?" Alistair said as he waved his hand and his teal magic covered the body bag as it started to levitate and walked into the broken down building. Franky was standing scarred and confused with Mat standing next to him. "So... You're Shuten then huh?" the shark demon said as he kept starring in fear and wide eye wonderment. The fallen dragon nodded his head slowly and said, "Yuuuup, call me Mat." Franky looked scarred as he kept starring at Alistair as he entered the building. "Why do I keep running into shit like dis?.." He asked only for Mat to pat his back softly and said, "I call it crappy luck.. Come on, let's get inside and see what Al might need from us." "WHY DID I EVEN NEED TO BE HERE!? I feel like a joke to all of ya's!" He cried as he followed the dragon. As they entered the building, everything looked as if it was cleaned and fresh. All the games were safe and playable. A token machine was ready to send out and received tokens and Lily was amazed by the area. "How did.. how is this still clean?" She asked as both Mat and Franky were astounded by the arcade's remarkable standing. Sila casually stroked some of the controls to see if they were real and much to her surprise it was. "How.. is this possible? The place was run down?" Sila asked as she pulled her hand away from the strangely working machine. Alistair chuckled softly as he looked around and saw the machines working. "I couldn't help myself. I have some.. Rather fond memories of this place, this use to be my hide away from everything. The only place where I could feel happy when I was released from Vinea.. the only time I felt like a kid once again," he said calmly as he lookedat the machines with a look of melancholy and memory. He saw himself playing the games like there was no tomorrow, touching one of them it light up as it was a strange superhero game andit started to say, "FIGHT TIME!" "Ooooo! My favorite game! If only we had time to play.. Mat, come join me in a bit while I get our.. Guest ready. Franky, you're with me." As he slowly brought the body bag with him to the backroom, Franky followed the Goetia as he prepped his gun for safety. Mat looked to see Lily somber and sadden by the events in V's Paradise. She was messing with one of the controls on one of the games and saw that it was moving the character in the side-scrolling game back and forth. She held her hand close to her face as her pet arrived and asked, "Lily, are you ok?.." "I.. I don't know Mat.. I feel like an idiot." She said as she placed her head down on the game. The dragon attempted to caress her shoulder only to be stopped by Sila. She looked at him with her blackened eyes as she moved him aside softly saying, "This is my fault.. I should have never have been there in the first place."
"Well you never should have given up on your kids either Sila.. Ever thought of that.." Lily said angrily at her mother as she kept her head down on the controls. Sila looked at her daughter with a sadden look and walked away to another game to look at. Mat turned to Lily saying, "You didn't have to be rude to her. She's trying to make up for-" "Make up for what? Make up for abandoning her children, my sisters, and letting them get picked up to be slaves to this Vinea asshole. Or how about the fact that she waited THIS long to come and see ONE of them besides me!?" Lily screamed out of anger. Mat backed away from her slightly as Sila grabbed her arm in shame. "Or should I be upset that you used that fucking Reliquary again!? Mat you know I worry when you use that thing!" She cried as she clutched her heart. Mat felt riled up as he walked closer but maintained his composure and said, "If I didn't, that goat probably would have gotten away with what he was planning. That was a heaven calvary pistol. What was I supposed to do?" "You could have burned your fire at him! You have one of the coolest powers in Hell I've seen, you can't even be affected by Hell's flames. Instead of doing that, you use that dangerous junk and now we got possibly one of Count Vinea's goons as a hostage, something I'm not accustomed by the way, and we're being tracked by them if we are!" Lily cried as she had tears in her eyes. Leaning back into the machine, she covered her face as she sobbed. Mat looked to the side as he breathed heavily. Taking several steps closer to his mistress, he crouched down to her level and sat close to her.
Sila looked at her daughter and sighed hard as she said, "Lily.. I know how you feel.. I always hated fighting, every time that I see demons or sinners fight for anything. I felt disgusted, bored even. All they wanna do is fight fight fight. Nothing good ever comes from it. But sometimes.. You have to fight, there's just no stopping it at all." Lily looked to away from her mom as Mat tried to cover her with his wing only for her to grab it and pull it closer to him. The dragon smiled as she accepted the gesture as Sila did as well. "Believe me, I've tried.. The only reason why I'm even here in the first place is because.. I want to see you happy Lily, and you're right. I was a horrible mother.. And now I have a responsibility to save my kids from this fate. And Mat can help even with those.. Awful powers he has, no offense Sweetie," Sila said as she looked at Mat. "None taken.. And Lily, I told you I wouldn't get hurt and I haven't this time. I only do this cause.. I want to protect you the way you've protected me," He said as he hugged her softly. Seeing and feeling this, Lily looked at her fallen pet and immediately hugged him back with tears in her eyes. She sobbed softly as she had Mat in her arms. "I'm sorry I'm mad at you guys.. I shouldn't have said any of that, I'm just.. I'm.. I'm upset that Téa got mad at us. I barely even got the chance to know her," Lily said as she held onto her fallen dragon. Sila and Mat both looked at each other and smiled knowing that Lily told them what she was feeling. "I know Lily.. But the good news is that not all of your sisters are slaves, and we still have a chance to save the others from Vinea. But while we wait, lets play a game or two. How about that?" Mat said only for her to sniff and wipe away her tears. She looked at Mat and said, "Only on one condition, Mom has to beat me in 'Dance Dance Revolution'." Mat looked to Sila as tears of happiness were starting to flow from her eyes as she wiped them away. She looked at her daughter dead in the eyes as she said, "Oh please. You forget Lily, I was a dancing queen! Get ready to lose."
Lily got up immediately and walked over to the Dance Dance Revolution game as the lights were shinning bright and the screen was asking for tokens. As she touched the game, it automatically registered as if she had put in tokens much to Lily's surprise as she said, "Wasn'texpecting Al to make the game work immediately." She looked to Sila as she walking up to the game and onto the dance pad, she stretched her arms and chest. Mat watched Sila's stretching and blushed heavily as he saw her bosoms stretching, only for Lily to slap Mat's face with her tail as she glared at him with a comical cold stare. Sila caught this and chuckled at the two lover's. "Tell you what, I win, and I get to see what is so interesting about this.. Fallen Dragon of yours," Sila said with a devious chuckle in her tone. Mat blushed heavily at the notion while Lily's eyes grew a wild fire in them as she became pumped up and cracked her knuckles and stretched her legs while bending over. Immediately giving Mat a nose bleed as he saw her purple panties and became aroused as he tried to cover himself with Lily returning back up from her downward stretch. "Get ready to lose Mom. I can out dance you any day of the week!" she proclaimed as the game started randomly surprising the succubi. As music started to play Fizzaroli's "Two Minute Notice", both dancers were ready as they saw the arrows going downward at a strange slow pace.
Each of them taken steps following along with the arrows as they quickly went down faster. Mat tapped his foot along with the beat as both Lily and Sila started to dance faster and faster as they moved across the dance pad. The both smiled happily as they went back and forth on their pads as they listened to the music, the lyrics ironically made them smile as they were shaking their breasts downwards and pointing them at Mat, making him fluster even more as he blushed heavily. Both Sila and Lily laughed deviously as they continued to dance back and forth and even began to sing, "FUCK YOU! I wish I said it sooner, fuck you! Cut you out, just like a tumor! HOOOOOOOPPPEEE YOU DIE! Kiss my ass goodbye you CUCK! FUCK YOU!" They sang happily together as Mat recovered slowly and kept watching the duo dancing to the song with joy in his heart. Alistair walked to the group as he saw the two succubi dancing to the song on Dance Dance Revolution, he smiled happily as he stopped by Mat saying, "Looks like those two seem to be in good spirits." "Yeah, makes me happy that they're playing together like this," the dragon said as he turned to the side and saw Alistair tapping along with the beat. He tilted his head to his left pointing to the back room as Mat followed him. As he was leaving he said to Lily, "I'll be back, Al needs me." She quickly turned her head to her pet and winked at him and went back to the dancing competition against her mother. As the dragon and Goetia started to head back to the back room, Mat looked to Alistair and said, "You did this to make sure that Lily and Sila are distracted right?" "Absolutely not, I really do have fond memories here. But that doesn't mean they needed some fun together. Look at them, I haven't seen Lily this happy since Sila showed up." Alistair showed the dragon both Lily and Sila dancing together and grinning at one another determined to win their competition. The fallen dragon smiled happily as he looked at his mistress dancing the night away to the ironic joyful music, turning his back away and walked towards the backroom that Alistair was leading him towards. Outside of the broken down arcade, lightning strikes occurred as it started to drizzle lightly. Far away from the broken down arcade were two hooded figures standing on a building top roof. The smaller figure using a pair of binoculars, it looked at the entrance of the Funny Town arcade and saw there lights were popping off from the inside. "I found them Sir. This guy better be worth the trouble you talked about," the smaller figure said distastefully to the taller one. The taller one chuckled to itself evilly saying, "There you are Riser, it's only a matter of time before we meet once again." Holding a strange cross in its hand with a circular blue gem in the cross section of the strange relic.
