It has been a little while since Cody had visited Moxxie and Millie's apartment. Riding on the back of his adopted sister's motorcycle some more, it wasn't that long a drive to the imp couple's apartment complex, and Loona parked it near the building in a careless way. "OK, let's see what the dorks want." Loona said as she took her helmet off. "Hopefully this should be good. Anything from those two is a waste of my time."
"Come on, Loona." said Cody. "I know they're not your friends, but they are still my friends."
"I know, i know." Loona rolled her eyes. "I still can't really stand them... much, even if they did save you from that fucktard Belmont." Going all the way to the third floor of the dingy apartment complex where Moxxie and Millie live, and the two imps were waiting for them (mostly the kind human boy since they don't have the best kind of relationship with his new Hellhound sister.) Millie was the first to speak when she said: "There's our human friend. So glad ya could make it here."
"What's going on?" said Cody. Both the imps had an adorable look on their faces as they were more than ready to give Cody the surprise, whatever it was.
"Close your eyes, Cody." Moxxie sang. Doing just that, the boy could hardly wait to onow wjay the surprise was. "Ok. You can open them up now."
What the boy was seeing in front of him made him surprised. It was a round golden ring thsg sparkled under the light. "Surprise!" The imp couple sang in unison.
"A ring?" Said Cody
"It's for Tommy and Celeste's wedding."
"Where did you get that?" Asked Cody
"Admittedly," Moxxie replied, "i stole it from my dad a long time ago. It used to be his before... it happened. But anyway, i think it should go to Tommy,"
"Wait a minute," Cody frowned. "Your dad is evil. I don't know if i should give my big brother a ring tbat belonged to an evil demon."
"Well, in all fairness," said Millie, "his dad stole it from a... just-as-bad mob boss when he was a kid."
"And when i stole it, i passed the buck by saying: one of his henchmen stole it from him so he can make a quick buck from it. But... I shouldn't tell you what happened to that guy."
"The point is, we feel like you should gave it." Millie smiled. "Well, Tommy should have it, but still. You are the ring bearer after all."
"Yeah and it's pure twenty-four karat gold." Moxxie pointed. "Just don't lose it, and make sure it stays in a safe place so no one else can find it."
"Ok." Said Cody with a head nod.
Suddenly, Moxxie gasped in surprise when he daw his favorite tv show pop up on his tv. "Crumbs! It's Nimrod's Temple: the Musical!" He then promptly sat on the couch to watch this show, and Millie smirked ar she sat with him.
"See y'all later." The female imp said. "And keep that ring safe, sweetie."
"I will, Millie. I promise." Then he and Loona went out the front door snd saw a scary-looking demon large but bony in stature. This demon had a puma look to him with fur as brown as pumpkin pie and some shredded clothes and a sleeveless leather jacket over a black undershirt. He was trying to carjack Loona's motorcycle with his own set of keys. Angry, the female hellhound grabbed the thief by his wrists, ensnaring him behind his back in a lock.
"Gah! What the fuck, bitch!?" said the demon while grunting.
"I was about to ask you the same thing, bitch boy." Loona growled. "Stealing my fucking motorcycle? You picked with the wrong hellhound, Bitch!"
Suddenly, without warning, the carjacker flipped Loona over and began stomping on her tummy, leaving Cody horrified. "Say goodbye, little lady." said the robber as he pulled out a Desert Eagle from the left pocket of his jacket. Looking even more scared and not knowing what to do, the human boy just remembered he had his revolver on him, and before the puma-like demon could pull the trigger on Loona, Cody pulled his trigger first, on the carjacker, right into his skull, making him drop his gun and drop dead to the ground like a ragdoll. Blood was pouring out of the gunshot wound like a small fountain and Loona got back up as she was clutching her belly
"Loona!" Cody ran up to her. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah. Thanks to you, kiddo." the female hellhound smiled gratefully at him.
"Did... I just kill that guy?" Cody realized
"You did what you had to do." Loona looked at the robber's body in disgust. "It was either me or him. besides, it wasn't the first time you killed someone."
"True."
"Look at me, Cody. Look at me." the female hellhound knelt down to his level. "I know you don't like killing people, but there are certain times where-
"Where i have to kill someone to save my life, like Belmont. I know." Cody said. He then put his gun away. "Let's just go home."
"We heard a gunshot!" Moxxie and Millie came running out hearing the commottion from a few minutes ago. "Crumbs, what happened?"
"Nothing, Fat Shit." Loona flatly said. "This asshole tried to steal my motorcycle and tried to kill me but Cody shot the guy before he can do so."
"Oh. Well, good on ya, sweetie." said Millie, giving the boy a gentle ruffle on his brown hair. "Are y'all hurt?"
"Nah, just a minor bruise." Loona said.
Suddenly, another voice popped up. "Hey," it sounded mildly raspy voice. The four looked at who talked, and it was Barbie Wire, much to their own surprise. "Oh shit, what happened here?" she noticed the dead puma-like demon on the ground with blood still pouring from his wound.
"This fucker tried to steal my motorcycle, but Cody handled him."
"Really?" said Barbie, sounding impressed. "You just took care of this guy?"
"Yeah, but only because he was going to kill Loona with his own gun." Cody pointed
Looking even more impressed, Barbie said: "Nice, kid. You gave him quite a kill through his head." then she couldn't help but grab the dead fucker's Desert Eagle for herself. "This could be useful to me in case some freak tries to..." she was trying to find a right word for that peculiar word in front of the kid that she is talking with, "... wrestle me."
"What do you want, Barbie?" Asked Moxxie
"Well..." the female imp paused, "I've been thinking this over. About how i hated my own brother over the years because I thought it was his fault that my mom was dead."
"Well she's not." Said Millie
"I know that already!" Barbie snapped before she took a small breath and cleared her throat. "Anyway, i feel like a gigantic piece of shit for treating Blitzo like that over years, and i feel so guilty about everything." Sue kicked at the apartment building next to her. "A junkie that was sent to rehab over nothing!"
"Hey, don't be too hard on yourself." Cody gave him a sympathetic look on his boy face. "You didn't know your mom survived."
"But... how can i just face Blitzo again after all this time?" She clenched her fists. "I fucked my own life because of what I thought."
"Barbie, just go and say you're sorry to Blitzo." said Moxxie
"But what if he doesn't accept it?"
"Nonsense, Blitzo loves ya more than he loves cheese itself." Said Millie.
"Heh, the guy is always obsessed with that stuff." Barbie smirked.
"Look, if he didn't love you he wouldn't bother trying to find you after you got out of rehab." Loona pointed. "Or try to call or text you a million times a day."
Barbie lokked at her phone, scrolling at all the texts and missed calls she received from her twin brother, making her even more guilty. "Just go to Blitzo and tell him how you feel about everything." said Cody.
"You know what?" Said the female imp. "You're right. He is my brother after all." Without warning, Barbie knelt down and hugged the human boy, surprising him, Loona, Moxxie, and Millie. "Thanks, Cody."
"Don't mention it." Cody replied.
"i'll see ya around." Barbie said as she walked away.
"Looks like Blitzo is gonna get someone else in his life back. First Fizz and now his own sister." Lokna smirked with her arms crossed
The next day, Cody was at the Pride Ring zoo with Loona. The last time he was there, he was with his guy friends, but it was just Loona this time.
Looking at the fire lizards in their fireproof pen, there was the feeling of small shakings on the ground, like a giant was coming towards where Cody and Loona are at.
looking behind them, the human boy saw a rather large woman that looked like a... dinosaur. She was curvy and rather taller than an average demon would be like and had long, green hair and her skin was rether a color of a violet red of some kind. She had a long tail with tufts of green feathers.
looking rather intimidated by the size of this woman, Cody took a few steps back. "Oh my Satan." said Loona, recognizing who this woman is.
"Ah, there's the tiny baby i've heard about." Said the dinosaur demon. "Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you, or eat you. I'm not sleazy like the Three Vs are."
"Wait, you know them?" Asked Cody
"Unfortunately, yeah. They are nosy people, baby. You see, my name is Zeezi. An overlord and part of Lucifer's Inner Circle."
"You're not like Velvette, are you?" Asked Cody
"Nah, of course not." Said Zeezi in disdain about the fashionista demon. "I've heard that she, Val, and Vox met you with a shitty introduction. And i am here to say that i'm sorry they gave you a hard time."
"No, it's ok, Miss Zeezi"
"You don't have to he formal. Just call me Zeezi. Or Z if you like."
Cody smiled with his teeth showing. "Velvette said that i had a bad taste in music. But i do have good taste." he pointed at his Peace Sells by Megadeth Shirt to the dinosaur overlord."
"Megadeth huh?" said Zeezi. "You do have good taste. And don't listen to Velvette. She thinks she's the backbone of the Vs and us Overlords, but she is just a stuck up... C-U Next Tuesday, if you get my saying, baby."
"I don't get it." said Cody
"Good. You don't know what i meant." Zeezi smirked. "Just do your best to stay away from her and the other Vs."
"Noted." said Cody.
"And I hear that you have the voice of an angel. The way you sung at Lucifer's party before."
"Why didn't I see you there, Zeezi?" Cody rubbed the back of his head.
"Well... it's a big palace that the king himself owns. It would put people like Bill Gates and Elon Musk to shame and make them cry like a pair of babies."
Cody laughed. "True. And yeah, people like my singing."
"And for a good reason. You have them pipes, Cody."
"Thanks, Zeezi." said the human boy.
"You know, Cody, we should hangout sometime. I even have my own nightclub called the Jurrasic Pub." then she looked at the female hellhound she was towering over. "Oh, you must be... Tuna, right?"
"Loona, actually, your highness." Loona pointed
"Right. Loona." Zeezi looked a little embarrassed. "You are a beautiful-looking puppy."
The female hellhound blushed. "Thanks... you're... you're hot too." then she realized she may have made a false move with that one.
What happened next surprised Loona. Zeezi let out a small laugh before saying: "Thanks. You got spunk, baby. You should hang out with me too. You are supposed to be Cody's new mom, right?"
"Sister." Loona sounded a little irritated.
