While I work on ideas for my reboot to Bluebird Found; I think I may try this story inspired by A Loud Among Demons which I do unlike except for some parts which I don't want to get into. This is a some chaptered humour story.
Great Lakes City and in on the road in a rented car; were 3 literal imps from Hell along with a hellhound and a preteen human child who was being infused with demonic energy. The Hellborn ran a service called Intermediate Murder Professionals where they were hired by Sinners to kill humans who screw them over in their living lives. The human child Lincoln Loud was one that they were looking after and was basically an unpaid intern as until a curse on him was lifted; his soul was needed to mostly remain in Hell.
The Hellborn was under human disguises as they were having a day out in the human world; "Well that was a waste of almost 3 hours... You sure choose the worst fucking musicals to want to see Moxx..." groaned the leader Blitzo who was driving the car on this day out. They had gone to the theatre after getting tickets to see an opera adaptation of a Shakespeare play.
"You just need to have a finer taste in the theatre because if you did then you would be appreciate to all the subtext, the passion and the emotion." Moxxie ended up replying in the backseat with his wife Millie along with Lincoln.
"It sure... Was something Moxxie..." Millie then said forcing herself to smile as it was clear that she didn't like the show any better than Blitzo did.
"I liked the show Moxxie; the singing was strong and the story wasn't bad..." Lincoln said honestly unable to believe how much he enjoyed it which caused Moxxie to smirk to have someone on his side.
"Well glad that you both had fun since this is a family day out for all of us; find things fun for all of us to enjoy." Blitzo said smiling as Moxxie rolled his eyes and Loona next to Blitzo in the front was on her phone.
"Definitely a family here. A doofus, his hellhound daughter as well as a couple with their human kid that they basically kidnapped." Loona said sarcastically as Blitzo frowned at his words but Lincoln did end up snickering. Loona's deadpan sarcasm he did get used to and she could get emotional and angry but it was hardly directed at him; plus she actually could calm down quicker than Lori could.
He was shocked how much he got close to these demons and how a part of their group he felt; feeling a bit guilty about the fact that a part of him doesn't want to ever leave them desptie missing his family.
"I am definitely enjoying myself sir. Glad we could make use of the money we looted from the targets after killing them." Millie said with a smile as Moxxie looked at the leaflets that they had acquired from the theatre.
"Yep... Lipton's wallet alone is paying for most of this and this car as well... So what do you want to see next?" Blitzo ended up asking as Moxxie showed him one of the Art Space Gallery. "An art gallery... Those are so fucking lame... Most fun I ever got was drawing moustaches on the paintings as well as throwing paint on them..." Blitzo muttered unimpressed.
"Who is up for the art gallery?" Lincoln ended up asking as he put his arm up and so did Moxxie and Millie. Blitzo looked behind him and sighed shaking his head.
"Looking at a bunch of pretentious junk it is..." Blitzo groaned as Moxxie gave him the address.
"So fucking lame... Bunch of naked statues... You got plenty of them in places in Hell..." Blitzo complained as he and Lincoln were looking at the art statues in the gallery while Mille and Moxxie were looking at paintings.
"Come on... Blitz... Have an open mind... Art can be an experience into a person's thoughts and feelings... It could generate..." Lincoln said with a smile thinking of his own artistic talent but he saw that Blitzo stopped and looked depressed at a paitning of a demonic owl in front of fire and it was titled 'STOLAS'. "Blitz... You want to talk about what happened with you and... Him? Something to do with why we are using this crystal and not his book?" Lincoln asked in a whisper as Blitzo glared at him.
"I don't want to fucking talk about it..." Blitzo then told him and Lincoln then looked at him in sympathy before walking off. "I didn't mean to hurt you... It did meant a thing at all to me..." Blitzo was singing underneath his breath with a tear.
"Let me guess... Blitz was reminded of Stolas again..." Millie asked Lincoln as she and Moxxie then noticed Blitzo's reaction. Lincoln sighed sadly as Millie whispered "Poor guy..."
"If you ask me; he is better off without that privileged gross Prince treating him as a plaything which he has called him... Plus we have the crystal and don't need that book anymore..." Moxxie then told them as they thought it over and then they heard some staff talking to an artist about a new painting piece.
"My new piece represents sadness... Inspired by the sadness and grief that my sobrina is feeling with her best friend missing and the parts that represents hope for the hope that we all feel that he is found save and sound..." the artist said as Lincoln looked and his eyes widened as he recognised the artist.
He felt tense as he gulped; "Lincoln... Are you alright?" Moxxie asked noticing as he and Millie faced him in concern as Blitzo came over.
"I am feeling better now... Well not as much like shit as before and... What's fucking wrong with you?" Blitzo asked as Lincoln was almost in a panic.
"That artist... That's Frida... She's the aunt of Ronnie Anne... You know one of my best friends who lives here... She knows me and has met me... If she sees me..." Lincoln explained in a whisper as their eyes widened.
"Fucking great..." Moxxie almost groaned out loud as Blitzo smirked at them.
"Don't get your panties in a twist Moxx; I will distract everyone long enough for you all to sneak away and trust me... No one will ever think to look your way..." Blitzo said assuring them with a smile. They didn't know what to do as Blitzo then got out an axe and used it to break a statue as their attention was on him. "Art is fucking stupid and you all so called arteests are nothing more than pretenious con artist who make a bunch of random shit put together and pretend that that there is any deep meaning to them..." Blitzo yelled out as he got out a gun and started shooting more art pieces with people running away screaming and security being called.
Lincoln, Moxxie and Millie had a second of being shocked before they started running; "Well there goes Blitz making a big statement in completely insulting the hard work of artists... Still he did make sure that no one will be looking our way..." Moxxie said as Lincoln had his hands held by the couple as the trio was running to the exit.
"Well has he ever been subtle?" Lincoln asked as Moxxie realised his point as they went dwon the way to the nearest exit and took a moment to take their breath. "Okay... We get to the car and have Loona drive us away... We will text Blitz where to find us again... He can use the crystal to escape..." Moxxie then said as they went to where the car was with Loona in the seat.
"Really... Unbelievable... Can't believe there would be a maniac to ruin things on your unveiling... See you in a minute..." said a voice in a car that was parked nearby as Lincoln then gave a gasp when he recognised who it was there. The person ended the call and hearing the gasped look and was surprised to find Lincoln there. "Lincoln... Is that you..." asked Maria Santiago coming closer.
"Hey Mrs Santiago..." Lincoln said faking a smile as Maria looked relieved and overjoyed.
"How on Earth did you get over the way to Great Lake City... What happened to you... Your parents have been worried sick... So has Ronnie Anne... We all have... I can drive you to the Mercado and you can stay there as I call your parents to let them know..." Maria said going to take Lincoln's hand.
"Best time for us to make our getaway..." Moxxie yelled in a hurry as Moxxie went to the front seat as Millie opened the door to the back. She got in and Lincoln was about to follow when Maria took a hold of his shoulder.
"Hold on there..." Maria snapped angrily at them and then looked concerned; "Lincoln... Are these people your kidnappers..." she asked with a big gasp.
"Oh no... They mean well and... It's hard to explain... I have to stay..." Lincoln said as Maria glared at Moxxie and Millie and then looked at him assuredly.
"Whatever they told you Lincoln... You don't have to be afraid... I am calling the police..." Maria said taking out her phone as Lincoln was in a panic.
"Maria... Is something going on... Lincoln!" asked a voice as then ran over excitedly was Frida taking out her camera. "Lincoln; we found you! Oh I hope I can capture Ronnie Anne's face with my camera when she sees you again..." Frida then said as Moxxie and Millie got out.
It was in a quieter part of the city as the two imps waited with Lincoln and Loona as then emerging from a portal was a smirking Blitzo; "Ah yes... I gave those security quite a chase around that boring place... At least now that problem is solved and we can go back to enjoying our vacation..." Blitzo said grinning but noticed as they all but Loona looked nervous.
"Not exactly..." Loona said as she showed him to the trunk of the car. Inside there was Maria and Frida who were both tied up with ropes and their mouths taped shut.
