"Come on, Blitz," said Millie, following him out of the room. "What's the only thing you know that comes to Earth and fucks with people's minds that badly?"
"Probably an infestor possessor demon from Envy," Blitzo responded.
"Bingo!" said Millie, snapping her fingers.
"So-ho, figured it out, have you?" asked a distorted voice. Millie and Blitzo looked around. They both got into fighting stances.
A grinning Rolando stood in the distance. The round overhead lights flickered off.
"A bit out of your depth, aren't you, little ones?" he hissed. His face and body morphed into his true demonic form, a humanoid sea monster with glowing yellow eyes, sharp teeth, fin-like ears and scaly skin.
The lightbulbs exploded above them, and the imps ran for their lives. Rolando's demonic laughter echoed through the darkened hall. Rolando chased after him as a grinning hovering shadow with red eyes and bony hands.
"Damn, our tiny fucking legs!" Blitzo panted as he sprinted as fast as he could. Sweat poured down their faces. Rolando appeared and disappeared in shadow as more lights exploded above him in yellow sparks. Rolando morphed himself into black goo, splashing and grabbing hold of Blitzo's leg. Blitzo collapsed to the floor.
"You know my secret…" he hissed.
Millie raced over to help Blitzo but was lifted up in a chokehold by the shadowy Rolando. His eyes and grinning mouth glowed yellow. Blitzo reached out desperately to Millie.
"I guess you gotta die like all the reeesssttt!" Rolando hissed.
Millie and Blitzo were picked up by an invisible force. Blitzo screamed as he crashed through several walls and landed in the pool room. He banged his head against a column and coughed. Blitzo coughed and grunted as he sat up, holding his chest and wincing. The pool glowed an eerie green behind him.
A hand with three claws gripped the broken wall. Rolando grinned as he climbed through the copper pipes and into the area. His suit was now black with three white buttons on it. He wore sharp black boots. His white fin-like hair was transparent, and he wore glowing red sharp sunglasses with yellow trim. He displayed a row of sharp white teeth and a pointed chin like an undersea predator. His skin was a scaly gray.
He spoke distorted and demonic, "Oh this is fun!"
He leaped forward and kicked Blitzo hard in the face. He laughed evilly.
WHACK!
Millie responded with a high kick of her own. She sent Rolando into a nearby wall.
"Atta, girl, Mils!" Blitzo swung his fist. Millie grinned back at him.
A grinning yellow face appeared on the surface of the water behind them. Both imps turned around as Rolando rose out of the water.
"No, thatta bitch!" he roared. He leaped forward and nearly grabbed Millie. He bent in a wide arch before righting himself on his knee. He then raced toward Blitzo and kneed him hard in the chin. He fell to the floor as Rolando flipped into the air toward Millie. Millie leaped toward him to attack, but he sent her down with a kick.
Blitzo narrowly avoided Rolando's attack…his foot left the floor cracked where Blitzo had been moments before. Millie grunted and swung out her leg again, Rolando grinned and grabbed her foot, swinging her around. He grabbed hold of Blitzo as well, tossing them both into the pool. He grinned above them as they fell through the water.
As quick and deadly as a shark, Rolando zoomed through the water, his natural element. He slammed into Millie, pushing her into the wall with his head. She winced at the impact. He grabbed hold of her wrist and in a flip, slammed her against the pool floor. Holding onto Millie, he grinned as he swam to attack Blitzo. He grabbed onto Blitzo's leg and leaped out of the water.
Blitzo and Millie cried out as Rolando slammed them both hard to the ground. He laughed evilly again as they both groaned on the floor.
Millie slowly groaned as she stood up. She helped Blitzo up and they stood together on shaking legs.
"You call yourselves assassins!" he mocked the imps. He moved his head, and all the lightbulbs shattered, leaving the room in darkness, save for the glowing pool. An invisible force rammed into the imps, knocking them backwards. The pillars cracked and yellow sparks rained down from the broken bulbs.
Rolando cocked his head. He hovered off the ground and spoke in an eerie voice.
"Eenie, meenie, miny…"
Blitzo and Mille looked up with terrified looks.
His glowing yellow eyes widened. "…mo!"
Millie and Blitzo screamed as Rolando flew at them and entered through each of their heads in black goo.

Blitzo and Millie found themselves chained to chairs in an old movie theater. They both grunted and struggled to get out in vain.
Rolando floated out of Blitzo and grinned. He licked his neck with his long yellow-green tongue and Blitzo flinched and whimpered.
"Welcome to the show, asshole," Rolando mused. Rolando flew in an arch of black goo before settling in a seat behind him. He held a bag of popcorn in his hand.
"I hear this one's a real titilator." The curtains opened. He grinned and pointed at the screen. The screen was tinted green and did the old-fashioned round "3, 2, 1," on the screen.
To Blitzo's utter horror, his own memories flashed before him. He saw the fire at Loo-Loo Land, with imps and circus horses racing for their lives. Blitzo saw himself racing to save his mother…but only managing to find her red pendant. He held it tightly in his hands.
He saw the angry face of his father…and cried out at the sight of his father hitting him.
Blitzo began to cry as he saw a memory of Fizzarolli being burned on the ground. His father glared at him as Fizzarolli rested in the hospital in the background. Blitzo tried to reach Fizzarolli, but his father blocked his path.
Then Blitzo remembered the times when he was mocked by Robo-Fizz, and another moment when Verosika berated him during her song at Ozzie's.
He could remember how he had felt lonely and left out when Moxxie and Millie kissed each other during their missions.
Rolando sneered and manifested rusted chains to hold Blitzo's horns in place. He clamped open Blitzo's tear-filled eyes, making him watch more.
He saw when he had gotten into an argument with Loona at the beach during spring break. Loona shoved Blitzo to the ground on Earth after Octavia had been found. Then the awful moment when Barbie Wire yelled at Blitzo for ruining her job…screaming that she never wanted to see him again.
Then the scenes with Stolas…how Blitzo had pulled away when Stolas had tried to comfort him at Ozzie's. When Stolas had left him in the van…when Stolas declared that he wanted to break up with him…Stolas giving him the Asmodean crystal as a way of saying goodbye…Stolas and Veorsika and Vortex singing about how Blitzo was a motherfucker at the Blitzo hate party on Earth…Stolas's sad drunken face…Stolas making out with the pink male incubus, their tongues locked together…Millie berating him for his cosplay…
"Blitz!" Millie strained in her chair next to him. "Snap out of it!"
"Silence, bitch!" Rolando snapped. "Don't try to ruin our little fun…you're next!"
"We'll get out of this mess, Blitz!" Millie strained against the chains.
Rolando flew toward Millie. "Oh, the filthy little Wrathian wants to help!"
Rolando licked her neck as well. "You can't help anyone, you're just the muscle, remember?"
The screen shifted and soon Millie's memories began to play on screen. Millie gasped as she saw the disapproving looks from her parents after she had told them she was going freelance.
Then she saw the stern face of her overlord from her first job…a heavyset imp with a broad ax and spines along his back. He had told her to kill twenty rogue demons before several coworkers by the end of the day…the assassins who failed would be killed in front of them. Millie had been grateful to have survived the ordeal.
"Fighting is all you and your imp kind are good for. You said it yourself."
Millie flinched in disgust at the sight of Chaz's arrogant face…the shark teen bragging about himself and rubbing himself on top of her. Rolando snickered in the background.
"Let us go, asshole!" Millie hollered.
"I'm in your minds, bitches!" he called to the straining imps. "I see everything. Every thought, every opinion and boy…"
He grinned. "…you both have nasty shit to say about the other…"
"Don't listen to him," called Millie.
Blitzo paused. "Hey, I don't see my memories anym…"
Rolando morphed back near Blitzo, and his memories played across the screen again.
"NO! STOP!" Blitzo screamed, tears running down.
"Your level of insecurity is intoxicating," Rolando purred. "I can't wait to see how you taste when you drive away the one person left who puts up with your bullshit."
Rolando laughed. "Blitzo thinks you're a brute, Millie! Too stupid to do anything but kill!"
"That's not true!" Millie protested.
"You never should've left the farm! You're nothing but a backwards, filthy, inbred, lowborn fucking hick!"
Millie rolled her eyes. "Ya done?"
"Excuse me?"
Rolando paused then grinned. "Oh no. I'm just getting started, my dear."
Rolando spoke to both of them. "Nobody cares about you guys or what you want. They're too caught up in their own misery to even remember you exist. Especially you, girl."
"Now look here, combover," Millie glared. "You may think you know everything, but you missed two. One, your words don't mean shit to me and two…Blitz can handle this!"
"Can he now? Can you?"
Rolando grinned as Blitzo's memories played.
"It would be a shame if you two decided to take…a little swim with me…"
Millie and Blitzo's possessed bodies stood up, both eyes glowing blank yellow. Rolando moved back and forth from Millie to Blitzo. Their bodies inched slowly toward the pool, robotic in motion. Millie sat near the edge of the pool as her memories played. When Rolando moved back to Blitzo, Blitzo's body dropped down into the water like a rock.
Blitzo and Millie gasped in horror.
Millie then realized her memories weren't on screen. "Blitz! He can only possess us fully one at a time!"
Blitzo's eyes widened then he winked.
"Blitz can handle this!" Millie said again.
"Oh no he can't!" Rolando countered, getting closer to Blitzo. "He'll be swimming with the fishes before long!"
Blitzo felt himself gasping for breath and Rolando laughed. Blitzo's memories were starting to go dark.
With Rolando distracted, Millie used her strength to slowly break free of her chains.
"You're wrong. So buckle up, buttercup!" Millie spat at Rolando.
When Rolando got too close, Mille whirled around and slapped Rolando in the face with a free hand. The impact caused Rolando to lose his grip on Millie's body. He smacked her in the head, and she winced.
"Just wait until I finish off your pathetic little boss friend!"
He moved toward Blitzo, sinking his body further.
Millie closed her eyes, and the pool room slowly came back into focus.
"Come on, come on, come on, come on…"
Millie shook herself awake and saw a drowning figure in the water.
"Blitz!"
She dove in and pulled him up. Rolando used Blitzo to try and drag her back in, but Millie slipped out of his grip and raced onto the deck.
"Come and get me, fishbrain!" called Millie.
Possessed Blitzo growled.
The possessed Blitzo climbed out of the water and attacked her with his fists, which she blocked. He wrapped her with his tail, shoving her aside. Millie dodged his foot as he flipped over. Rolando grabbed her arm and spun her around. He spun her in a dance then knocked his head into her. He then tossed her over the pool and onto the other side. Rolando swam through the water and leaped out with a splash at Millie.
He lifted her up and slammed her into a pillar, which cracked on impact. He spun in a loop around another pillar and aimed his feet at her. She moved back and dodged his landing. She then dodged every one of his fists.
Millie then grinned and swooped her foot under his, sending him to the floor. Millie then gripped both his arms from behind.
"Like I said, combover, your words don't mean shit to me!" Millie smirked. She punched him in the face and tossed him into a wall. Rolando was then punched and beaten rapidly by Millie's fury of punches to his face and gut. The wall cracked from behind him. Rolando cried out, spitting black blood.
"This is what you get for messing with my friend!" Millie hollered. She grunted and with her strength, she slammed him against the floor. Rolando turned around…
WHAM!
Millie finished him off with a roundhouse kick to the chin. He collapsed, Blitzo's head hanging partially in the water. Blitzo's mouth opened, and Rolando flew out from his mouth in a black gooey shadow.
Blitzo slowly blinked and sat up, rubbing his head. "Ugh, good work, Mils."
"Oh-ho!" Blitzo cried out as Millie punched him in the face. "AH FUCK, IT'S ME!"
Millie covered her mouth. "Oh! Shit! Sorry!" She chuckled, bending down. "It's good to have you back, boss."
Rolando hoisted himself up, dripping wet on the floor.
"You little ass plugs are done for! You're dead, Bethany!"
"Well, that's where you're wrong," Blitzo said, walking over to him, holding his device. "I ain't Bethany Ghostfucker…"
He spoke with newfound confidence, "Tonight I'm Blitz, DEMON-DICKER!"
Blitzo yelled and slapped Rolando with his device. He fell into the pool.
Rolando lifted up his head. He shrugged his shoulders, putting out his hands as if to say "What the fuck? I'm in my natural element."
Blitzo then kicked his ghostfucker device into the water.
The device sank into the water and electricity sparked and zigzagged across the surface. Rolando realized too late that he was in danger.
The fish screamed in agony as he was fried by the electricity. His glasses exploded and his yellow eyes melted as black blood gushed out from them. His screams turned distorted. His body and head sank to the bottom.
Blitzo raised his fist in triumph. "AAANNND THAT'S HOW YOU GET GHOSTFUCKED!"
Millie embraced Blitzo. "Let's go home."
Blitzo grinned and kicked open the doors. "Yeah, fuck hotels."
