Chapter 4: Miserable Fun (2/4)
"Shit!" That was the first word that came out of Joshua's mouth once the Lanky Skeleton launched it's first attack.
"AAAAHH!" Which was a simple thrust attack using the giant spike that it had for an arm.
Both Joshua and Michael side stepped in directions opposite to the other. With the two of them being quite shocked with the length of the creature's arm now that it was in an open space.
Great! How the fuck are we supposed to kill this thing!? Joshua thought in deep annoyance as he continued to fire towards the creature's head in a small burst, with the bullets barely doing any visible damage.
"EEEEEEEEHHHH!" The Lanky Skeleton constantly seems to shift between human screams and insect sound, both being equally unpleasant.
The bullets were enough to call it's attention towards Joshua, with it turning towards him and attempting to stab with a downward attack, that the boy with emo hair was able to easily evade by stepping to the right. The arm that it used pierce through the floor with ease.
However, when it did, Joshua widened his different colored eyes and had an idea, which was to aim at the joint of the creature's arm and unload the remaining bullets at it.
"AAAAHHHHH!" It had the desired effect, because the impact of the bullets were enough to dislocate the joint that was supposed to be the elbow and since there was no skin or ligament holding it together, it separated with ease.
"AAAAAAAHHHH!" The spike remained stuck on the floor while the rest of the arm was pulled back.
"THE JOINTS!" Joshua pointed out the weakness to his uncle.
Michael on the other hand just nodded before he actually let go of the XM8 and left it hanging on the sling next to his chest, before charging towards the Lanky Skeleton and grabbing onto its bones. He used it to climb on it.
Joshua partially understood what he was doing and decided to help. "HEY!" By reloading the assault rifle and continuing to fire at it's head.
Thankfully, it worked as the creature was too distracted by Joshua to notice Michael climbing on it. So it used it's other arm to attack Joshua, smartly, it decided to thrust it's arm this time.
"Woah!" Unfortunately, it seemed to have gotten more pragmatic with it's attack as it began to use it's arm in the same manner that a scorpion would use it's tail, performing quick and agile attacks by chambering it's arm.
"Fuck!" With Joshua barely evading them by side stepping to the left and to the right. His uncle continues to climb the creature and all that the boy with emo hair could do was try to keep the creature distracted.
What's he... Joshua was about to ask himself what his uncle was planning to do, but then he had a slight idea. Moving his head to the dead bodies of the Organization's agents. Joshua realized that they were all carrying M67 grenades.
.
"RRRRRR!" With him jumping to the right to evade yet another attack and getting closer to the bodies, where he saw a fragmentation grenade. Wait! Then he had an idea. Standing over one of the bodies. "Come on!" He invited the Lanky Skeleton to come at him. Which it predictably did, attempting to stab Joshua with his arm again, only for the teen to actually jump back and the spike piercing through the dead body of the agent instead. When it pulled back, the body went with it, but not before Joshua moved forward and removed the pin of the grenade.
Joshua then strapped the XM8 to his back, since this was a matter of agility now. Because that big and stupid monster was about to attack him again, not realizing that the dead body was still deeply impaled in it's arm.
Michael realized what was happening and immediately tried to protect himself, but it was unnecessary since the stupid creature lifted it's arm all the way up to attack again.
"RRRRRRR-" When it was about to launch a different attack, the fragmentation grenade that was attached to the agent's belt, caused it to blow on the Lanky Skeleton's arm while the dead body fell from it's arm afterwards. "RRRRRRRRRR!" Unfortunately, it only made it angrier and the arm was still somewhat intact.
However , Joshua expected that and was actually standing over another dead body. With the creature foolishly attacking again and ending up impaling another dead body with it's arm.
"Hahahaha!" Joshua let out a very childish laugh as he pulled the pin of that agent grenade as well.. "Dead bodies on a stick, now that's something I don't want to try, even though I do qualify as a cannibal." Despite the fact that human meat is Joshua's second least favorite kind, right behind fish.
"RRRRRRR!" The commentary seemed to have pissed off the creature even more for some reason, and it tried to attack again. With the grenade exploding caused another explosion. "RRRRRRR!"
The arm was clearly taking damage as he could see some cracks on the bones. So all he needed to do was keep going and so he did. Come on, you stupid bony bastard. Not long afterit fell for the exact same trick.
"Is that all you can do?" Joshua stepped on another dead body. "You are a giant and scary creature made of bones, is trying to stab me with a spike that you got in the place of an arm the best you can do?" That was a half serious question, since he was actually kind of surprised that this is all that it has tried to do since they came face to face with it. "Okay, let me just ask you a question, is the whole bone monster thing an allegory to how much of a boneless asswipe you were?"
"AAAAAHHHHHH!" Unsurprisingly, it tried the same attack once again while releasing a human scream. Something that Joshua assumes to be a result of his question.
Okay, the Organization agents should have been able to handle such a stupid monster. The boy stepped back once again and the spike went through the dead body. And there's no damage on them, which means that the asshole that stole our car probably had something to do with it. He came to that conclusion before pulling the pin of the grenade once again.
Taking ten steps back, Joshua observed the Lanky Skeleton pull it's arm back at with the clear intention to thrust in order to stab him, while the agent's dead body was still impaled on it. The explosion came a few seconds after and clearly added to the damage that the arm took..
He pulled the XM8 from his back and simply stood there, completely calm, awaiting it's attack with his green eye on the sight.
"RRRRRRRRRR!" Once it let out it's animalistic sound, it thrusted it's arm at full power at Joshua. Only for the boy to side step and practically unloaded the assault rifle at the damaged part of Lanky Skeleton's arm. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" The creature let out a very human-like scream as the bullets hit the already damaged area and ended up destroying it's arm. "AAAAAAAAAA- '' And with it's mouth wide open, Michael finally reached the creature's head and unceremoniously, pulled the pin of a grenade that he had taken and shoved it into it's mouth. Before he jumped down and rolled on the ground.
"AAAAAHH-" It tried to scream again, but the grenade exploded inside of it's mouth and completely blew it's head onto pieces.
"Hey?" Joshua approached his uncle.
Both of them looked at the Lanky Skeleton, which was now a headless monstrosity. Who continued to move despite the fact that the head was gone, however, it's movements were clearly nothing more than completely random motions that seemed to have no purpose whatsoever. Fortunately, or unfortunately, one of those moves caused his weight to shift into the edge of the building, which ended up crumbling the already damaged surface. With the now headless monster losing it's balance and ending up falling from the rooftop.
With the sound of the intact being considerably loud and the vibration quite noticeable.
"If the bones are scattered all around, our work here is done." Joshua casually spoke as he moved to check.
"Not exactly, we still have to figure out who was that person that stole our car." Michael replied as he grabbed the XM8 from the floor.
Slowly, he reached the edge and took a good look down. Ironically, it felt right on top of the corpses that were burning to a crisp in that strange blue fire that was still going strongly. Sadly, despite that the body was still intact and was still moving. But the movement was nothing more than a strange shift that it was doing. Until it began to twist in an incredibly uncanny way, with it's body contouring itself and the bones seemed to be changing their shape.
"I don't think that's a good sign." Michael commented sarcastically.
It turned out that he was right, because not only the body of the Lanky Skeleton began to change shape. It also seemed to be fusing itself with the corpses that were burning on the street. It eventually turned into a weird mass of bodies being fused together as the blue flames continued to burn it down. The awful smell of both sulfur and burning flesh began to permeate the area completely.
"Uncle Michael," Joshua moved his head to look at his uncle. "I think we better get the hell out of here because whatever the hell is happening with it, I don't wanna be stuck in this roof when it's finished." And considering that it just kept getting bigger and bigger as the bodies just kept fusing themselves with it, he realized that it wasn't going to be good.
"The only problem with that is..." Michale moved his head to look back, prompting Joshua to do the same. And the two realized that the exit was pretty much gone with nothing more than a pile of rubble in it's place.
"Fuck..." Joshua cursed before reloading the XM8 and slinging the assault rifle in an off-side drop position. Then he moved towards the ledge to find a way to get down from that roof. Reaching inside of his backpack, he pulled out something, a tactical rope. No place to tie it though... The rooftop was completely destroyed, anything that he could have used to tie that cord was destroyed. "You think you can..."
"Yes." His uncle understood the suggestion and took the rope off his hands. "Go at least two or three floors below and after you get inside, tie the rope around something." He instructed him as he began to unwrap the rope.
Joshua nodded and began to tie the end of the rope around his waist. Michael wrapped the other end of rope around his forearm and hip, before getting into position. Once both of them were ready, Joshua made his way towards the ledge. Both gave each other a nod, before the boy slowly began to rappel down the building in an improvised manner.
It took him a few seconds for him to reach the floor below them, however, the floor was in ruins due to the Lanky Skeleton's burst. Going inside through the window wasn't really an option because the floor was nothing more than a pile of rubble and it seemed like it would collapse at any moment. So the best he could do was continue to go down in order to reach a more intact floor. The floor below wasn't much better, as it seems like the impact, vibration or whatever, caused some of it to collapse as well, though, not as much as the previous one. Making him continue and finally reach a floor that was mostly intact.
Grabbing on the XM8, he fired three shots at the window, before delivering a light kick on it, causing it to break completely. Then he slowly and carefully made his way inside. Good gun, but I prefer my AR-15. Joshua thought as he once again put the assault rifle in an off-side drop. The room that he entered was a simple patient room, wasting no time, he scanned the area to search for something to tie the rope on so his uncle could get there as well. It takes him less than ten seconds to find something in the form of a toilet. So after unwrapping the rope around his waist and wrapping around the toilet, Joshua returned to the window and yelled. "Come on!" Suddenly, his uncle jumped down from the roof while holding on to the roof, being able to hold on to it even after it went down, and climbing on to the window a few seconds after. "Show off..."
"Look who's talking." His uncle replied sarcastically.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Unfortunately, their exchange was interrupted by the sound of the Lanky Skeleton.
"Fuck..." Joshua moved towards the window where his uncle was standing right in front of it. With the two of them looking through it, right at the street where the monster fell. By the looks of it, the Lanky Skeleton actually merged with the dead bodies that were on the street, who apparently burned until they were nothing but bones. Now the insectoid looking creature took the form of a hulking skeletal beast that is made up from multiple human skeletons . While it is still the same size, it is now standing upright on multiple legs.
Michael sighed as this was obviously going to be more complicated than they originally thought. So he signalled Joshua to follow him as they needed to get the hell out of that hospital.
"What is the plan?" Joshua decided to ask. "Because I don't think we're gonna pull another stunt like the one from earlier again."
"We need to call for backup, that thing is definitely way more dangerous now than it was earlier." Michael warned him, despite the fact that it was obvious just by looking at it.
"Yeah, but what if-" Joshua was about to point out the fact that despite the creature's animalistic tendencies, it might be smart enough to remember that they were inside the hospital. Unfortunately, he didn't have to say anything, because a very sudden feeling of the ground shaking accompanied by the loud noise of something smashing through a wall spoke for him. "Does it actually remember that we are inside?" But he did it anyway.
"We need to avoid a direct confrontation, so it's best that we just sneak out of here." That was Michael's idea for the moment.
They both moved through the damaged corridor, at each step, they were greeted by the sound of painfully heavy steps that resembled one of an elephant, only heavier.
"That masked weirdo is probably behind this." That blue fire definitely did something that made the transformation worse. Although, there is a slight possibility that it was just a coincidence and the Lanky Skeleton simply fused with the bones by complete accident. But that was just too convenient for his taste.
"Probably, but we won't know until we investigate further." Michael was quick to point out that fact.
"How the fuck did it do that anyway?" Joshua was curious, because if that blue fire is some kind of trick, he wants to know how to do it.
"It might just be another person that received the Unnameable's Gift." Michael suggested.
"It would explain the creepy mask, but it was way too humanoid looking." Most people that got infected by the "gift" turn into a grotesque and inhumane creature that hardly resembles a human. "Not to mention that it was smart enough to attract us to the roof and steal our car." The creatures are often animalistic and unintelligent, acting like a twisted representation of the psyche of the person they used to be.
"True, which is why we need to investigate further." Michael seemed a bit disturbed.
Something that Joshua can understand because stupid monsters can be handled just fine, but monsters with intelligence are something that he would rather not deal with. Independently of what it was, they had to find a way out of that hospital as quickly as possible. Something that they clearly needed a plan for since the tremors indicated that the monster was tearing the building apart from below and it could cause the whole place to collapse if it doesn't stop.
"The first floor is definitely not an option, but there might be a backdoor or something at the end of the stairs." Michael suggested as the two reached the stairs.
Looking up, Joshua really didn't like the idea of descending. Because the upper floors were visibly damaged and looked like they were going to collapse at any minute, especially with the stupid monster causing the building to shake by smashing into the walls of the first floor.
"I know what you are thinking, but I can't think of any other way out." His uncle had the same issue as him but also had no other ideas of how to get out of there.
"Let's just hurry." Joshua spoke as he proceeded to descend on the steps.
Quietly, they descended the stairs as quickly as they could. With the tremors getting worse and worse by the minute as the Lanky Skeleton seemed to be getting more and more mad. Joshua didn't like that at all and rushed to get out of there even more, because each tremor only meant that the chance of the upper floor collapsing on them increased. The plaster that kept falling from above only made that possibility even clearer.
"Almost there," His uncle pointed out. "Just three more floors and-"
Unfortunately, as they were about to descend into the fourth floor, a loud sound of something smashing was heard by the two and the entire building began to shake drastically.
"Fuck!" With Joshua's fear becoming true as a result of it, as the floors above began to collapse.
"Run!" Michael pushed Joshua in order to get him to go faster as they both rushed down the stairs as the upper floors began to crumble.
Once they reached the third floor, however, a very loud explosion was heard by them. Coming from just a few floors above. "Holy shit!" Joshua was able to see the fire by looking up. It turned out to be a mistake as another explosion occurred, causing the building to crumble even more and the structure beginning to fall on them.
"Woah!" With a large piece of the stairs collapsing and nearly falling on top of them. However, Michael pushed him and the two fell into the second floor before he went down with the piece.
"Move!" Michael yelled as Joshua stood up from the floor and pushed him towards a door that led to the second floor of the hospital. It was the right decision as more of the structure collapsed, completely destroying the stairs.
The two of them ended up in a corridor that was similar to the other floors that they were in, but they had no time to contemplate. As the door behind them began to crumble alongside the floor below them.
"Fuck!" Joshua cursed as they stepped back as quickly as they could but the cracks on the floor only grew bigger and wider, with the building shaking up completely and the sound of crumbling only getting louder.
"Hurry!" Michael grabbed his arm and pulled him. With Joshua instinctively obeying and beginning to run into the opposite direction with his uncle. Once he turned around, he realized that they were running towards a window, with Michael firing at the window with the XM8 to break the glass.
Second floor, we can make it. Joshua thought as they ran with full speed towards the window at the end of the corridor as the building collapsed behind them.
Michael was the first one to reach it, and he jumped through with no issue.
Joshua followed behind him and somersaulted through the windows. Once he passed through, he performed a front flip mid-air and rolled on the ground as soon as he landed. "Shit!" He yelled as soon as he was on the ground, turning around and looking.
It turns out, they were not safe yet. Because the entire hospital was crumbling as there were pieces of it falling from above.
"Get back!" Michael yelled as a large piece of the structure crumbled and fell all the way down, right in front of them.
Prompting the two of them to run, getting as far away from the building as possible as more pieces of it proceeded to fall down, destroying the surrounding area. So they ran past what was clearly a parking lot, with several cars around them, but they had no time to stop and take one without risking getting smashed. Especially after another explosion occurred and more pieces of the structure descended from above.
They ran non-stop until they were as far away from the hospital as possible. With Joshua turning around to see the building. From afar, he saw yet another explosion, which was the last straw with the entire building falling down completely, with a large cloud of dust engulfing the area as a result of it.
Okay, it's going to be a hell of a long while before I even think about going to a hospital again. Joshua thought in annoyance as he leaned on the wall. They ran all the way to a different block, they were both standing in front of what appeared to be a convenience store.
"That could have gone better." Michael commented as he adjusted his tie.
"It could have gone worse as well, so let us be thankful that it went the way that it did." Joshua was quick to point out since they barely made it out of there. After he said that, he moved his head to look at the window of the store and decided to get inside.
"Seriously?" Michael asked as Joshua opened the door of the store.
Joshua ignored him and simply went inside, the store was in top condition and was neatly clean. So he stepped inside and the first thing was to go into one of the shelfs and grab a large bag of Cheetos, before making his way to the refrigerator and grabbing a Coca-Cola can.
"Are you going to pay for that?" Michael sarcastically asked him as he also stepped inside of the store.
"If we see the owner, then yes." Though, he half-suspects that the owner was among the corpses in the street.
Michael didn't say anything, he just made his way to the liquor shelf and grabbed a bottle of Whisky. That he gulped down as soon as he opened.
Joshua walked past the counter, placed the assault rifle on top of it and sat on the chair behind the register, where he opened his bag and soda to eat. Before he started, he reached for a pack of cigarettes and tossed for his uncle since he knew that he was out.
Michael grabbed it and placed it in his pocket, then he approached the counter, placed the assault rifle on top of it and he leaned on it to continue to enjoy his drink. "I missed this..." He confessed.
"Me too..." Joshua told him after he began to eat. "I missed when it was just you, me and Mommy, traveling around the world." In truth, Joshua has been all over the globe since they were constantly changing locations when he was a child. Although he misses the constant change of scenery, he actually grew used to staying in a single place and doesn't wish to change it.
"Remember when we were in the Middle East?" Michael asked him while he gulped down his whiskey.
"Yeah, when I stole one of your rifles and went to hunt that pack of Jackals while mounting an Egyptian horse." Joshua was only seven at the time.
"My only complaint about that was the fact that the horse died." Michael was still mad about that because he actually liked that horse.
"It was an accident." Joshua was just as upset because he also liked that horse.
Despite the conversation about old memories being quite pleasant, Joshua ended up sighing because he remembered why they were there. "We need to go back there and see if the monster is still there."
"Best case scenario, it got itself killed by being crushed by the building." Which would be way too convenient for them.
"Worst case scenario, it actually survived and is on the loose in the city." Not that it means anything since most of the inhabitants were apparently dead, but that still meant that they would have to search for it and that was quite annoying.
Joshua ate his Cheetos and prepared himself mentally for what was about to happen.
"Great..."
After taking a little break inside of the convenience store, both nephew and uncle made their way back to the now ruined hospital. Slowly approaching the remains of the collapsed building in search of signs of that skeleton monster. Unfortunately, there were none.
"What now?" Joshua asked as he continued to look around with the XM8 ready for any sign of it. Which was clearly that it was nowhere near them because that creature was huge.
"We stay put until reinforcements arrive." Michael was able to contact the Organization while they were resting in the convenience store, so they are probably sending more manpower to aid them.
"I really don't like that idea at all." Joshua sarcastically replied as he kept on searching.
"It is better than nothing, now come on." Michael signalled him to follow him while having his own XM8 ready.
"Where are we going?" Joshua asked.
"There is no way a thing that size could have just disappeared without leaving some kind of trail." Michael pointed out, however, that might be the case.
"Logically, no." Joshua agreed. "But logic isn't something that we can apply to something supernatural." The Supernatural is, to Joshua at least, an improbable aspect of reality. In truth, if he hasn't seen it with his own two eyes, he definitely wouldn't believe it himself.
"Yeah..." Michael was clearly just as frustrated as Joshua. "But we don't really have any other option for now."
"Yeah..." Joshua agreed once again.
Slowly, they traversed through the ruins of the hospital in order to get back to the street where the courses were. It only took them some minutes to do so and once they were there, the sight was considerably awful.
"Uhhh..." The entire street was covered in a foul smelling looking liquid that if Joshua is guessing correctly, is skin, muscle, fat, etc from the human bodies that were melted off the bones before fusing into that skeleton monster.
"What a repulsive way to die." Michael commented, since being reduced to that certainly is a painful and somewhat disrespectful end.
"Which only makes me want to find that masked freak and shoot his ass for doing this." Speaking of which, they still had to figure out who the hell was that and what is his or her involvement in this.
"Yes, finding out who that was is basically our second priority now." Michael pointed out since he was clearly sure of that individual's involvement in that predicament.
Before any of the two could do anything else, something really inappropriate happened. Joshua's phone began to ring, with him pulling out of his pocket and seeing that someone was calling him.
An unknown number.
"Hello?" So he answered due to curiosity, putting on speaker .
"I must say, that was quite the impressive performance that the two of you put on." On the other side, they heard a man's voice. A gruff and deep voice that seemingly belonged to a elderly man.
Joshua looked at his uncle for a split second before replying. "Are you the one that took our car?"
"No, I personally don't really understand the reasoning behind the taking of your vehicle." The man politely answered his question, while indicating that he knows that individual that took their car.
"Then would you kindly explain why exactly are you calling me?" Joshua bluntly asked him. "Because I don't remember meeting any Irishman recently." The man spoke in a Irish-English accent, which was painfully obvious.
"We did meet little Joshua, you just don't remember." The man replied in a creepy tone of voice.
"You are obviously watching us right now, so why don't you spare us from this shadowy figure nonsense and just show yourself already." Joshua bluntly rebuffed, because he was getting tired of this.
"Now, it's not the time." The man replied right away. "But the time will come sooner than you expect."
"Yeah, sure..." Joshua rolled his eyes in response, "Is there anything else or did you just call me to bother me?"
"You and Mr. Belmont will find what you are looking for inside of the mayor's office." The man revealed to them.
Before he unceremoniously hung up the phone.
"Any idea who that was?" Michael asked him.
"I was about to ask you the same question." Because Joshua has no idea, despite the claims that they met before.
Michael sighed before speaking. "It doesn't matter, but whoever he is, he is definitely involved in this and wants us to go to the mayor's office."
"As much as I don't like the idea of doing what some random guy that somehow got my number told us to do, we don't exactly have any other leads at the moment." Joshua didn't like it, but the mayor's office was the only lead they had now and it was better to follow it.
The boy with emo hair then pulled out his phone to check the location of the Mayor's office. Only to see that it was a few blocks away from there and since they had no car anymore, they would have to walk. "Fuck..."
Q AND A:
Needless to say happy to have a new chapter
Hope Joshua plans on introducing Angela to more than just Lydia when he gets back and has a lot more in mind than just introductions haha
Do find it a bit funny in the middle of all this Joshua just told his uncle hey I think I like a boy or more accurately I suppose he could have said hey I'm pretty sure I've got myself a few boy now haha
For the parents reactions I bet Sam already knows and hey maybe she's already arranged a cat costume to be sent for Joshua to put a very willing Jun in and yes I'm saying his mom would have that costume already at Joshua's place by the time he gets back as for Vlad cam his reaction just be I doubt you'd be the one getting fucked so I'm guessing your just the one fucking your fem boy
So actually hope the uncle nephew duo are able to destroy the skeleton at the start of next chapter
Hm considering how likely it is that Sam is watching Joshua's bedroom antics as much as possible if she does have the cat costume waiting for Joshua at home to have Jun wear could see a note being left on the costume saying mommy is eager for the next show
Well even if Joshua doesn't get Jun in the cat boy costume I could still see a case where when they get back and Joshua gets Lydia, Erika, Angela and Jun together Jun could still show a horny side that's brought out by them all hanging out in Joshua's room and the stuff Joshua will have Angela do etc etc
Speaking of horny sides guess it's safe to say Sam will be feeding Joshua his favourite drink when they next meet in person
Got to admit it is a funny idea that Joshua is a highly effective agent in the missions purely motivated by the notions that one he just wants to get this shit over with and two he just wants to get back home to indulge in hedonism and sex
So with the skeleton next chapter while it's roaring at him Joshua could be like yeah yeah shut up I've got some girls and a very likely fem boy eagerly waiting for me back home so I'm going to deal with you now so I can get home to that haha thus the quick destruction of skeleton and Joshua being like right get me home ASAP
I'm glad.
You betcha!
Hahaha.
That's almost correct.
Almost, but now it morphed into a buff skeleton.
Maybe...
He would love that...
Joshua would certanly want that.
Which you can understand how annoyed he currently is due to how that mission is going.
Yeah, but now he is in a wild goose chase to find out who the hell started that mess to begin with.
Question from a different review:
Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel wise
Love the preview of Evanthos getting ready to go and castrate Seviathan who I imagine in this world never got to date Charlie due to Evanthos haha guessing he insulted Charlie and because Evanthos doesn't tolerate insults to the family we got that scene haha
If I might offer some little tweaks when Lilith first points out what Evanthos is doing to Charlie he's casually sat in a chair with numerous angelic and demonic looking guns floating in front of him before he nods and grabs a fancy shotgun to go shoot Seviathan in the dick with
Also when Lilith brings up the idea of a duel have Evanthos maybe say " Hm suppose it would save me the effort of hunting the bastard down and I suppose his family is still friends of ours yes I'll do that wonderful idea mommy" haha
In regards to Evanthos somehow not thinking that Val wasn't live-streaming the orgy record attempt and that him revealing himself would somehow only be to Val and Vox yeah still don't go much on Evanthos thinking it will just be two of the Vees that this reveal is for
Again Evanthos would know the Vees he knows that they absolutely would live stream this for all of hell to watch for a fee of course Evanthos should see all the camera drones flying around and really just think to himself well I gave up on laying low anyway and this saves me the effort of arranging my public return plus my return will completely overshadow what Vox and Val are trying to do here so there's a nice little bonus
So yeah Evanthos isn't a idiot it shouldn't a mistake that has him returning to the spotlight it be much better if this is by his own will and he's aware of what's going to happen with him stepping before these cameras
I think it would also be neat if because Evanthos knows this his his public return he does a tiny musical note akin to Alastors tone at the end of the stayed gone song something like
"Guess who's back, I'm sure you've all missed me while I've been gone~, stayed tuned in, and allow me to remind you all~, just who I am"
Just imagine him singing that while transforming back into his true attire haha and all across Hell many are shitting bricks while many are all cheering and howling with joy at the return of their Prince
In terms of his living situation I think he could "play" a homeless loser quite badly mind you but play that sleep at the office a lot and still live in a small mansion that he can access via magic in its own separate mini realm like after the IMP gang learn who their janitor was they ask him where he went off to on nights he didn't just sleep in the office and Evanthos casually opens a portal to the luxury small manor no one knew about haha
Well his private army was aware their Prince had a private mini realm another fun Evanthos could dump on the gang after the reveal is he tells them that his people bought every building surroundings the building IMP is based in and they took over management of the building they are in and took over the floors directly above and below there's
Again Evanthos was completely aware he had 24/7 protection he just didn't mind it because his people knew to keep a relative distance from him and he knew they wouldn't tell anyone else about his location they are just that loyal and dedicated to him I'm talking they'd rather die than do anything that would in anyway be negative to their Prince or go against his wishes
When Evanthos does fight Michael again got a suggestion for that remember how I said Evanthos owns more souls than anyone else like more than all other prominent Overlords combined even after five years of not collecting any think another fun fact Evanthos could reveal to Michael just before their "fight" is even thought Evanthos has all these countless souls on hand he's never once drawn power from them never seeing a need to but he's now curious how strong he will be when he draws power from them like the other Overlords likely do with the souls they own
Back to living situation after his public return don't think Evanthos should move into the hotel as his main residence oh he certainly has a room there of course one next to or across from Charlie's but his main residence should be the giant ass Palace in pentagram city
His residence in Imp city should be a sky scraper to
Oh yeah and so happy that his name has been changed to Evanthos
Also like I said I really really really hope that Evanthos crashing the orgy record attempt to save the IMP crew is literally right after the events of spring broken
When Evanthos does meet Vaggie then I hope he looks her up and down and approves of her similarly hope Vaggies head is filled with the idea of both Evanthos and Charlie taking her to a bedroom haha
He actually went on a date with Charlie and what we are seeing is the aftermatch of that date. No, especially Charlie.
Haha, I actually liked that.
Sounds like Evanthos, so I agree.
He genuinely didn't expect Vox to broadcast that to all of hell because he was literally going postal inside of the porn-studio to rescue Blitzo, Loona, Moxxie and Millie, so he believed that Vox was just watching everything in fear.
Again, he actually thought that he ended the broadcast after he shot Valentino's ass. He only found out that he broadcast his reveal to all of hell the next morning and only because Lucifer literally broke into Blitzo's apartment and kicked the door of Loona's room down to find him.
Not an idiot, he was just too busy saving his Co-workers asses to actually pay attention.
He actually does that after he goes to meet Charlie. (With a massive crowd standing in front of the hotel to see the Antichrist.)
Yeah...
Pretty much...
He actually does that, but he actually lies and says that it's actually the house of some rich asshole that hook up the previous night. (When it's actually his place.)
Actually, he does just that but only after he comes out of hiding.
More or less actually...
Michael and Evanthos will fight three times:
First fight: Lu Lu loses.
Second fight: Draw. (Because Lucifer and Abel intervenes.)
Third fight: Lu Lu wins.
He starts living in the Hotel for two reasons:
One, to make it up for lost time with Charlie.
Two, to make sure that Michael doesn't go after her after he revealed himself. (Which is basically how the second fight happens.)
It is.
It was the original name that I had in mind actually.
No commentary on that one.
Well...
Yet another one, just for fun. (Context: This takes place about a month after Lu Lu revealed himself.)

This time, Evanthos could only take a good look at Abel. He didn't look any different, with an ethereal and androgynous appearance. He had porcelain skin with very small wings that shined with a celestial glow. His eyes are adorned with sky blue pupils and halolike irises. A single-ringed halo hovers just above his head, with his fluffy mop of platinum curls that highlighted his sheep-like horns, his round baby-face that complemented his short stature and feminine figure. Not counting the outfit that he was wearing, which was a very simplistic short white toga that exposed both his lovely legs and his left nipple.
Abel was having the same sentiment with Evanthos. The tall, slender, hellborn demon, standing at around seven feet tall. He had long slick-back blonde hair, with thick honey blonde streaks. His lips are black and he has rosy red cheeks, thin eyebrows and silver-grey eyes, his eyelids are purple which give the appearance of eyeshadow. He was wearing red pants, a white, leather belt, white gloves, and high, white boots. A long red coat, very basic in design, with an upturned collar and short sleeves with white cuffs, though the coat lacks coattails. Underneath the coat, he was wearing what appears to be a white long-sleeved shirt, with a red vest with white clasps over it.
"You shouldn't have come here." Despite being happy to see him again, it could bring consequences to both him and everyone that lives in his sister's hotel.
"I know..." Abel was avoiding eye contact due to his embarrassment. "But I really needed to-" When he was about to reply, Evanthos interrupted him.
"But since you're here." Lu Lu wrapped his arms around his soft thighs and lifted him off the ground.
"Huh?!" With the Angel being surprised by it, even more so when the Prince of Hell made him sit on top of the counter of the hotel's bar. "What are you doing?" He had the nerve to ask that.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" The Hellborn demon sarcastically asked him with a smirk as he gently caressed the lovely legs of the actual first human soul to enter Heaven. "I missed you..." He confessed before sniffing Abel's neck in order to sense his smell once again. The sweet smell of Eden, that only Abel still possessed.
"Umm..." Abel's cheeks became red after hearing that. "Me too..." He confessed as well while wrapping his arms around Evanthos neck.
With the Antichrist removing his face from his neck and moving it in order to face him. Before he stuck his tongue out and licked Abel's lips, asking for entrance, which he happily allowed by opening his mouth and letting Evanthos's tongue enter. With both of their tongues connecting it and becoming entailed together in that passionate kiss.
It didn't take long for Abel to actually pull Evanthos into the top of the counter as he laid on his back on top of it. With the Demon happily getting on top of the Angel without breaking away from their deep and passionate.
In all truth, Abel has been completely deprived of any physical touch and affection ever since Evanthos left, which made him yearn for the Antichrist's touch in every way you can imagine. Something that caused him to tear up as he was unbelievably happy to be touched again.
When they finally separated from the kiss, Evanthos slowly began to plant more kisses into Abel's face, licking the tears of joy off his face as they had a distinctive taste. Kissing him from his cheek, to his chin, to his jaw, to his neck, to his collarbone, to his chest and so on. As his lips connected with Abel's warm body, his hands found their way to his toga, where he slowly pulled it down in order to expose Abel's beautiful torso. With a slight build with no muscle whatsoever and very little fat that gave him an unbelievably feminine figure that no male should have. Which made him gently rub his face on his torso, enjoying Abel's wonderful smell and the comforting warmth that his body transmitted.
Abel wanted nothing more than to have Evanthos make love to him like they did countless times before, but there was something that was deeply bothering him and he needed to address. "Lu Lu..." The sound of his voice made him look up. "P-please... Let me see..." The tone of his voice made him sound like he was begging him.
Evanthos knew exactly what he meant by that, with him sighing in response before getting to his knees. "Way to kill the mood." He spoke bitterly in response to his request.
Abel sat up and gave him a very sad look in response. "Please... I need..." He looked away. clearly trying no to cry." "I need to see it..." Despite his deep fear of actually seeing it.
Lu Lu could only stare at his ex-boyfriend with a poker face, because he didn't know whether he wanted to show it to him. But after some careful consideration, he decided to take a deep breath and stand on top of the counter before turning his back at Abel.
Abel just sat there, watching as Evanthos proceeded to remove his top slowly. Once everything was off and he was standing shirtless on the counter. "Don't blame me if you get nightmares because of it." He coldly warned Abel as he stood there motionless.
The coldness in his voice really hurted Abel, but he had no right to complain since he was the one that asked.
Despite his deep reluctance, Evanthos decided to comply, so he closed his eyes and he summoned his wings in order to show Abel. Once they were at full display however, Abel widened his eyes and lips began to tremble, with him grabbing his mop of platinum hair like he was going to rip it out of his head when he saw. Right below Evanthos upper wings, there were two painfully noticeable scars where his lower wings used to be. Made it worse by the fact that he had to put staples on it to keep the wound closed or else they were going to stay open. For someone that doesn't have wings, it probably doesn't seem like a big deal, but to anyone that does, they know that it's the worst kind of pain and that it's downright humiliating it can be to have your wings ripped off of you. Something that still bothered him greatly as he still hasn't gotten over and probably never will.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Unfortunately, a very loud scream forced Evanthos to widen his eyes, as that scream definitely didn't come from Abel. Slowly moving his head to look back, he realized that Charlie and Vaggie had just entered the room. And the horrified faces that they made when they saw Evanthos back, actually surpassed Abel's.
" Oh, crumbs ..."
