"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU INVITED THREE SUCH DISGUSTING LOW LIFE ANIMALS INTO OUR PALACE!"
The sound of her mother's screaming was enough to jolt Octavia awake. She narrowed her eyes in annoyance, giving off a faint glow. As she sat up and began to rub at her tired eyes, she heard her father protest.
"I didn't know they were at your party! It was unexpected!"
Octavia groaned as she pulled out her phone, plucking her earbuds in as she turned on a song from her favorite band, just as her mother screamed back.
"UNEXPECTED?! YOU DARE USE THE SAME EXCUSE WHEN YOU FUCKED THAT PLEBIAN?!"
It haven't been that long since the Eds crashed the party. Not that she minded it that much. To Octavia, it brought a bit of excitement to her mother's parties for once. She met a short boy that enjoyed listening to the same band. The tall yellow one caught the heart of one of the deadly sins, and the one with the hat...from what she could piece out, fucked Vassago.
Changing out of her night shirt, and into her everyday jacket, pink dress, and beret, Octavia exited her room and walked through the hallway. Listening to the song on her phone, she ignored her mother's screaming, even stepping over a plant pot she had thrown in her outrage.
"You want to start bringing in imps too?!" Stella screamed as she tossed an imp butler at Stolas, who moved out of the way and put his hands up in defense.
"No, of course not!"
"You are a goddamn embarrassment!" Stella seethed. "I'm not spending another moment looking at your pathetic, imp-sucking face!"
With that, Stella angrily stormed out of the kitchen, screaming and smashing down plant pots in her rampage. Stolas sighed before turning around and noticed that his daughter entered the kitchen.
Octavia sat down at the table with a coffee mug in hand, along with a box of cereal. "Good morning, Octavia," he greeted with a warm tone to his voice. "Did you sleep well, my little owlet?"
Octavia took a drink out of her coffee before giving a blank expression. "Was that a serious question?"
"What's that you're listening to?" Stolas asked as he started to open the fridge. By the time Octavia was in the kitchen, she took her ear buds out, so her father could hear the song from her phone.
"This song is called My World Is Burning Down Around Me," Octavia explained. "It's by Fuck You Dad."
Stolas frowned, believing his daughter gave him a rude remark until she clarified. "It's a band."
"Oh, how charming," Stolas forced a smile on his face as he picked up a massive chunk of zebra meat from the fridge.
"So, you two done screaming for the day?" Octavia asked, taking another sip of her coffee as Stolas fed the zebra meat to one of his plants.
"Um..."
Stolas paused when he heard another scream from Stella, alongside the sound of a potted plant shattering to either the wall or the floor.
"You know what I haven't done in a long, long time?" Stolas said as he trotted next to Octavia with blossoming excitement. "I haven't taken you to your favorite place in all of Hell. Why don't we go to Loo Loo Land?"
Octavia deadpanned. "I'm not five anymore."
"You were always so happy when I took you to Loo Loo Land," Stolas smiled as he wrapped his arm around Octavia's shoulders. "What do you say we go there again, have a day, just the two of us?"
Octavia remarked sarcastically. "I'd rather kill myself."
"There we go," Stolas smiled, mistaking her sarcasm for acceptance. "Anything but staying in this house. Now I'll arrange out security."
Octavia raised a brow as Stolas picked up his telephone, which was held on a platter by the imp Stella threw at him, who was now bruised and battered. "Security for a theme park?"
"We are rich and we're hot," Stolas started. "People want our money and our bodies."
"Our money, maybe," Octavia murmured under he breath as she opened up the box of cereal, and began to stuff handfuls into her mouth.
"Speak for yourself, princess," Stolas continued. "Now, I'm calling the only man who can *BLEEP* me!"
Octavia looked at her father with disgust, dropping the handful of cereal she just gotten. "What...?"
"Who can protect me!" Stolas quickly clarified. "Us! Being part of the Goetia Family is rather valuable, you know."
Octavia groaned, sinking into her seat and pulling her beanie over her eyes.
Eddy and Ed grinned, clearly excited by this news. "Really?!" Eddy bursted out. "It's about time we finally checked out a new ring!"
"Oh, where we going?" Ed started asking repeatedly. "Which ring is it? Which ring is it?"
"Well, boys," Millie started. "Loo Loo Land is down in the Greed Ring, so that's where we're heading."
Moxxie looked uncertain. "Um, sir, I don't think that's a good idea. Greed can be a little...intense."
"Don't worry about it, Mox," Blitzo brushed off. "Those boys crashed a party, stole Stolas' fancy book, and got out alive. They can handle a little bit of greed. Besides, we'll just be in Loo Loo Land, and when the day is over, we'll go back."
"I'm sure Greed isn't too bad, Moxxie," Edd tried to shed some light. "Perhaps it'll be quite the experience."
The Eds have spent the past few months in the Pride Ring, so they were quite used to the sky being bright red. Entering Greed almost felt like the first time they headed outdoors on their first day to Hell.
The skies were bright green, which in Eddy's point of view, was the symbol of cash. They were catching a ride in the van, and after picking up Stolas and Octavia, they started to be on their way to the Greed Ring.
As they entered the new ring for the first time, each of the Eds looked out the window to get a better look of their surroundings.
Needless to say, it was a bit disturbing mostly to Edd. So many turf wars, gunfights. Moxxie wasn't exaggerating when he said this ring could be a bit intense. But thankfully, nothing went wrong and they arrived at their destination.
As soon as the van found its parking spot, Moxxie stepped out and opened the side door, allowing Stolas and Octavia to exit. As everyone else began to get out, Stolas happily put on a red themed hat, and gestured for Octavia to follow, who groaned as she pulled her hat over her face.
The employees, including the Eds, were all dressed in black suits with black ties and black shades. Eddy stuck with Octavia, while Ed giggled as he checked out his surroundings, and Edd walked with Millie and Moxxie.
"Now, remember," Blitzo started as he followed Stolas. "This is work and work only. Me and my crew are not here to satisfy your perverted bird needs, alright?"
"Hey...Dad," Octavia started with disgust. "Do we have to-"
"Okay, yeah, hold on right there, sweetie," Blitzo cut her off before turning back to Stolas with a growl. "If you try fucking my ass in that park, I swear to-"
"You are so cute when you are serious," Stolas purred, poking Blitzo's nose.
"I'm literally gonna be sick," Octavia deadpanned.
"I knew there would be a lot," Edd muttered, as he and Moxxie pulled out numerous types of medicine. "What do you need? Anti-acids? Ibuprofen?"
"Morphine?" Moxxie suggested as he pulled out several needles filled with a green glowing substance. Ed's pupils shrank when he saw them.
"NEEDLE!" He screamed, starting to panic. "EVIL POINTY BAD FOR ED GUYS!"
With that, Ed dashed off in fear, prompting Edd to go after him. Octavia was left flabbergasted. "Does that always happen?" She asked, looking at Eddy.
"A bunch of times," Eddy shrugged. "You'll have to get used to it."
"Oh, crumbs," Moxxie cursed to him. "I should've remembered that Ed was scared of these."
Millie placed a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry about it too much, hon. Double D will bring him back here soon enough."
Moxxie looked at Octavia. She shook her head. "It was figurative, old man," she remarked as she and Eddy walked off.
"Oh right," Moxxie said before speaking under his breath as he discarded the needles into a nearby baby carrier. "She said it was a literal."
"Woooow!" Millie looked around the park with excitement. "I haven't been to this place since I was a tot!"
Millie took off her glasses, looking around, ignoring how an imp got crushed underneath a letter that fell from a sign. "It haven't changed a bit!"
"Look!" Millie said, wrapping an arm around Moxxie as she pointed at a big, malformed dinosaur animatronic, surrounded by a few imps, not to mention an amazed looking Ed. "It's Big Woobly!"
The animatronic let out a loud, demonic sounding roar, which Ed happily giggled and began roaring and making monster noises.
"That is deeply upsetting," Moxxie murmured.
"Oh come on, it's fun!" Millie wrapped an arm around her husband's shoulders. "You've never been here?"
"No," Moxxie shook his head, shuddering as he crossed his arms. "Theme parks always disturbed me. Especially the mascots."
All of a sudden, big apple shaped mascot with cartoonish eyes and a black top hat, appeared behind Moxxie. "Well, hey there!"
Moxxie nearly jumped and screamed in horror. "AHHHH!"
"I'm Loo Loo!" The mascot excitedly introduced himself. "Welcome to Loo Loo Land! If y'all get hurt here, just try and sue us!"
"Via, look, it's Loo Loo!" Stolas exclaimed with excitement from nearby, Octavia and Eddy with him at the moment.
"I have a question," she spoke up.
"Well, ask away, little girlie!" Loo Loo turned around, bubbling with excitement as he giggled.
"Is it true that this park is just a really shameless ripoff of Lucifer's more popular Lu Lu World?" Octavia asked with a smirk. Eddy bursted into uncontrollable laughter at the remark as Loo Loo stiffened.
"...No?"
"This place reeks of insecure corporate shame," Octavia muttered coldly.
"Good one, Oct!" Eddy laughed as he fist bumped her.
Stolas laughed nervously as he took Octavia's hand and began to lead her away, with Eddy following after the female owl that he started to get a long quite well with.
"That chick's creepy, huh?" Loo Loo commented, a bit disturbed by Octavia's remarks.
"Just wait until her dad tries to diddle your holes," Blitzo murmured as he walked away.
"What does that mean?" The mascot turned and asked Moxxie and Millie with confusion, only for Moxxie to snap at him.
"Don't talk to me," he jabbed a finger into his face. "I know you're a pervert under there."
With that, he walked away with Millie with a huff.
"Look guys!"
By the time Moxxie and Millie got to somewhere where the mascot was further away, Ed showed up out of nowhere, wearing the head of the big woobly animatronic from earlier, nearly scaring Moxxie to death, the imp landing on his backside form the sudden shock.
"I'm a monster!" Ed exclaimed excitedly as he began to make monster noises.
"Wow...what an imagination you have," Moxxie murmured as Millie helped him up. By this moment, Edd had showed up, his quick pacing slowing down as he managed to catch up.
"Oh, dear," Edd sighed. "I just learned from some of the staff that one of the deadly sins own this amusement park."
"Yeah, Mammon," Moxxie clarified. "I'd stay away from him and the other sins if I were you, Double D. Those guys are not to be messed with."
"Well, that's a little disappointing," Edd frowned. "As much as I'd love to learn more about how their rings work, I guess it'd be in my best interest if I stay away from them, and other royal demons."
"Look on the bright side, Double D," Millie started to smirk. "You were lucky enough to sleep with one of them."
Edd's face turned bright red in embarrassment. "Who...who told you that?"
"Eddy's kinda been spreading it around since this morning," Moxxie shrugged. "He told Loona first."
"Oh dear," Edd buried his face in his hat.
"I LOVE LOO LOO LAND, GUYS! Ed shouted, overflowing with excitement. "There were so many rides and games. It's like when I used to go to carnivals with my baby sister!"
"I knew you would love it, Ed!" Millie smiled. "My parents would take me and my siblings here when they could swing it. Money wise."
"Yeah," Moxxie murmured as he saw an imp carry a wheelbarrow of cash into a gift shop, he went to the big window and peeked in at the novelty cups in stock. "The prices do seem rather criminal."
Edd looked at the prices. "That much for a novelty cup?"
"Because it's Loo Loo Land!" Millie bursted with joy. Blitzo and Eddy walked up to them, holding the same cups that were on display, with Eddy also wearing a hat with attached can holders and straws.
"Listen to your hoe, Mox," Blitzo nudged Moxxie with the cup.
"Yeah, Double D," Eddy added. "It's greed. Expect the people here to want you to have more cash."
"Well," Blitzo started, looking at Stolas and Octavia for a quick second. "How about Eddy and I take the first watch while you four have a little fun."
He took off his shades and winked at them. Ed squealed with excitement, picking up, Edd, Millie, and Moxxie, and running with them. "Let's start with this ride guys!"
When Millie saw which ride Ed was taking them to, she beamed with joy. "This is my favorite one!"
"Really?" Moxxie lit up. "Which one?"
Both he and Edd looked to see that it was a roller coaster known as the Lawsuit, riding down at a fast accelerating speed while lit with bright green flames, plunging down into a tunnel.
"Oh dear," Edd trembled.
Needless to say, both Ed and Millie had fun, while both Moxxie and Edd instantly threw up into a garbage can as soon as they got off.
Meanwhile, Eddy and Blitzo were focused on Stolas and Octavia. Eddy mainly stood by Octavia while Blitzo scouted by the shops and bars, keeping his rifle on his person.
Blitzo parked himself behind the two owls, his rifle ready for any upcoming attacks. "You know, it's quite thrilling seeing you on the job, Blitzy," Stolas bended over and stroked one of Blitzo's horns.
"Save it, bitch," Blitzo snipped. "I'm working."
"You two need to get a room," Octavia scoffed.
"Yeah, we're here to bodyguard, not watch you fuck," Eddy added.
"For your information, I'm not a day hooker," Blitzo pointed out. A mother was walking by with her baby, and glared at Blitzo with disgust.
"What, I said I'm not one, prude," Blitzo flipped her off.
"Look, Via!" Stolas wrapped an arm around his daughter as he pointed at a circus tent. "You used to cry such tears of joy at this show."
"Oh no..." Octavia knew what this was. She remembered way back when she was a young child when she went into the tent, to be the robotic Fizzarolli.
It traumatized her for life.
"I hate that fucking clown," both Octavia and Blitzo cursed.
"Oh, Blitzy, I need my bodyguard please!"
A bunch of imps had captured Stolas, placing a purple cloth sack on his head, bounding his arms, each and every one of with various weapons, knives included.
Blitzo quickly fired his rifle at an imp that was about to stab Stolas with a pitchfork, splattering the purple cloth with blood and causing the other imps to vanish.
Inside the tent, Octavia and Eddy took their seats on the bleachers, with Blitzo carrying Stolas planting him next to Octavia. After a moment, Octavia, annoyed, ripped off the cloth sack that was still on her father's head.
Soon, the curtains opened, and in came the robotic jester. "Hey hey hey hey, implings!" He greeted. "It's me, the Robotic Fizzarolli! Shipped from Big Ozzie's factory to bring you all a wonderful show celebrating Loo Loo Land, spelled with Os, to avoid to lawsuits!"
"H-H-Hit it!"
With that stage lights turned on, and pointed at the Robotic Fizzarolli as he began to sing the song of the theme park they had came to.
"Loo Loo Land, Loo Loo Land!"
The curtain opened up, revealing a band of the jester's, consisting of the ugliest looking animatronics had ever saw, including the big woobly mascot...without his head at least.
"Everybody sing along with the Loo Loo band!"
The robot starts pointing and gesturing to the many demons in the audience. When he gets too close to Stolas and Octavia, Blitzo and Eddy point their guns. Bit of a warning, since they were bodyguards.
"Evry boy, ev'ry girl, ev'ry woman, ev'ry man loves Loo Loo Laaand!
"Loo Loo Land, Loo Loo Land!
Everything is beautiful at Loo Loo Land!
Ugly children holdin' hands in Loo Loo Laaand!
Everybody's friendly, and nobody is mean!"
Robo Fizz pulls a bunch of imp children into a tight embrace, before throwing them away. Eddy flinched as one soared over his head while the others crashed into the bleachers.
"No copyright infringement's ever seeen!"
He pours gasoline onto into a stack of cease-and-desist papers, lights a match, and sent the whole thing into flames. Seeing the robotic jester then sit on a giant piano as he continued on reminded Eddy of the time when he and his friends were watching the news.
It reminded him of the time Charlie Morningstar, the princess of Hell, humiliated herself when she came to the news station with her passion project. While Eddy didn't like the idea too much or even thought it was possible, it was entertaining to watch Charlie fight Katie Killjoy on live TV. Not to mention the turf war the pornstar, Angel Dust was having.
But that was a story for another day.
"I have a dream...
(He has a dream)
I'm here to tell...
(He's here to tell)
About a magical, fantastic place called Loo Loo Laaaaand!"
Eddy didn't like it. The stupid animatronics. That stupid robotic jester. "This is so stupid," he grumbled. "How can kids even like this?"
Octavia groaned. "Tell me about it."
Ed loved Loo Loo Land. He loved going on rides with his friends, he loved the mascots, and he loved putting on the new big woobly head and pretending he was a big scary monsters.
Ed, Edd, Moxxie, and Millie were trotting along past game booths when one of the vendors addressed them. "Hello, hello!" He called out. "Step right up and win a thing!"
Ed's eyes widened when he saw one of the prizes. "LOOK, GUYS,' he squealed as he pointed at it. "THEY HAVE A MONSTER!"
"Oh dear.." Edd murmured when he saw it. The plushie looked a lot like Ed's old monster costume. Gray, with sharp teeth, yellow curved horns, two sets of eyes, and tentacles.
He still remembered that day. When he made Ed that costume and his friend took the pretend game too seriously to the point of terrorizing the kids and covering them in chewed up chunky puffs.
He was so good, that it actually felt like he wasn't even pretending and that they were all in danger. "Oh, you want that, Ed?" Moxxie smiled.
"Yes!" Ed laughed. "It looks just like my old monster costume!"
"I'm sure it does," Millie chuckled at Ed's excitement.
"Finally," Moxxie smirked. "Something I can handle."
Moxxie handed the carnie some cash. "One game, please."
The carnie rolled his eyes, picked up a small gun with a cork in the muzzle, and handed it to Moxxie. Moxxie looked at his wife and friends with a smirk as he fired the gun, the bullet successfully landing the target. He proudly blew the smoke away, pleased with his marksmanship.
"Strike one, little man!" The carnie exclaimed, much to Moxxie's shock.
"But I hit it," Moxxie protested.
"Hmm, I don't know what to tell ya, buddy," the carnie smirked, crossing his arms. "The target, see? It didn't go down...so yeah, no go, bro."
Moxxie growled. He slammed another dollar down, picked up the pistol, and fired. The cork hits the target. But it doesn't budge.
"The Heaven's wrong with this thing?!" Moxxie growled. Slapping the toy pistol in his hand.
The carnie smirked. " Oh man, a real shame, I tell ya."
Moxxie hissed when the carnie began to mock him by fake crying. He slammed down another dollar. "Another!"
Eddy was nearly close to tearing his hair out. He didn't want to endure this any longer. He'd rather have fun with MM than be tortured like this. As much as he didn't want to admit it, he actually did like hanging out with Octavia. Despite his original dislike of birds.
Speaking of, the female owl had her head hung back, banging her fist from the torment. Stolas just seemed to enjoy it, and Blitz was hard to read. He just had his rifle out, ready to shoot any threat nearby.
At least it didn't last any longer when the song ended. Thank God. It further annoyed the human when Stolas clapped even harder. "How delightful!"
Eddy then noticed an imp rising up behind Stolas with a dagger in hand. Before he could have time with equip his gun and make a shot, Blitzo fired.
The imp has parked himself in the back of the bleachers, his rifle held high. Eddy grimaced as Stolas turned, and spoke in his usual seductive tone. "Oh my, what aim you have, Blitzy!"
By this moment, his daughter had enough. "I can't do this anymore!" Octavia stood up from her seat, and stormed off, prompting Stolas to follow after her.
"Octavia!"
Surprised, Eddy snapped out of it and prepared to give chase. He knew Blitzo started to as well, but the short ed stopped in his tracks when he heard the voice of a certain robotic jester.
"Is that Blitzo my sensors spot up there?" Robo Fizz questioned, before his eyes trailed down to an annoyed Eddy. "Oh, and a kid. All human. You kidnapping human kids, or was he just sacrificed to you?"
"The O is silent now," Blitzo hissed. "And that's none of your business."
"Oh, like the audience always was when you told them your lazy jokes," Robo Fizz snickered. "This kid must be all out of whack if he's on your side all of a sudden."
Eddy scowled. "Yeah, right. You're the one to talk. You call this a gig? It's more like a dumpster fire to me!"
"Oh, sassy," the jester smirked. "You've picked someone well."
"He's got a point," Blitzo growled. "Both of us make more money killing people than you do at being a cheap-ass ripoff of an overated JESTER!"
"BURN!" Eddy hyped as he pointed at the robot. "In your face!"
"Oh, someone's salty!" Robo Fizz grinned. "Real or not though, people love me. Does anybody love you..."
He then added with a devilish grin, along with a low demonic tone to his voice. "BLITZO?"
"No, but I'm really good with guns now," Blitzo said as he held up his rifle.
"And so am I!" Eddy grinned, aiming his gun. "Dance, clown!"
Before anyone knew it, Eddy fired. The robotic jester cartwheels to get out of the way, before lunging at Eddy, grabbing him, and tossing him onto Blitzo.
Then, he coils around them like a snake, and threw them out of the tent. When they burst out, they fell onto a cart full of torches. The fall was enough to scatter them around the tent.
Eddy and Blitzo watched as burning and melting animatronics, and then saw Robo Fizz. His head spinning, having a crooked grin on his face.
Meanwhile, Moxxie was still trying to win the monster plush for Ed. He wasn't successful, as he had cashed in so much and no matter how he fired, he couldn't even get one of the targets down.
"Wow, man, you're really starting to make this sad," the imp taunted as Moxxie seethed with anger at his many failed attempts. "You know, if ya suck, ya suck. Guess you won't win your kid here a prize."
"Oh, let me try!" Ed excitedly picked up the pistol, and fired. He missed the target, but sudden, the one of them fell down, leaving Moxxie and Edd somewhat dumbfounded.
"Ohh, look at that!" The carnie smirked, and Ed beamed with joy. "You're a lucky shot."
"Are you kidding me?!" Moxxie growled. "You..you charlatan!"
"Get lost, pipsqueak," the carnie shoved Moxxie away, and handed Ed the monster plush he wanted. "Here's your prize, kid."
"YAY!" He screamed in excitement as he began to squeeze the new plush in his arms. However, the joy was short lived when someone came crashing down through the roof of the shooting gallery and crushed the imp underneath them.
Much to their surprise, it was both Eddy and Blitzo. "Sir/Eddy?!" Both Moxxie and Edd exclaimed in shock.
"Oh, hey guys," Blitzo was a bit dazed as he rubbed his head. "You should probably make sure Stolas is okay.."
Edd, Ed, Moxxie and Millie turned around to see the sight in front of them. Edd paled. "Oh, lord!" He screamed. "What did you two do?!"
The amusement park was lit into flames. Green flames, all around them, engulfing everything in their path. And rising out was the robotic Fizzarolli, burned and melted into nothing but a complete endoskeleton.
"Just taking care of some business," Eddy growled. As his friends quickly fled the scene, the short ed pulled out one of his firearms, and fired.
The jester's head spins around, and when he spins back, he bears no sign of harm, and spits the bullet out of his mouth. Before the two could respond, the robot rolls himself into a ball, and channels towards them.
Eddy and Blitzo leaped out of the way, in which Robo Fizz crashed into the booth, destroying it in a large explosion, making the plushies in stock fly out and bursting into green flames.
Stolas was chasing after his daughter. He didn't understand what went wrong. She was supposed to be happy. She was supposed to be enjoying herself. She was supposed to be having fun.
Not whatever this is. He follows her into the Fun House. Once inside, he sees no sign of her. It's all purple with tubes, spikes, mirrors, and disembodied hands.
He walks down, but stops in his tracks when someone, another one of those hitman imps, pounces on him. "I think I'm supposed to be bodyguarded right now," he huffs as the imp covers his mouth with his sleeve.efore he could make a move, something happened. Stolas heard a gunshot behind him. The imp fell limp and collapsed onto the floor.
Stolas turned around and saw at the entrance not only Moxxie and Millie, also Ed and Edd, who had shot the imp attacking the prince with his signature pistol.
"Ugh, that's better," Stolas dusted himself off and narrowed his eyes at the four. "Where is Blitzy? He's my knight in armor, not you littler ones. Where's Eddy as well? He's Via's."
"They're...busy with something," Millie slid down the stairs with a giggling Ed, who happily started hugging the stuffed monster toy he had won at the shooting booth.
"Being fools," Moxxie deadpanned, sliding down the stairs as well, Edd following behind him.
"What kind of fools?" Stolas raised a brow.
"Um, the everything is now on fire kind?" Edd stammered.
Stolas walked away with a huff, uninterested. He continues the search for his daughter, walking down a tunnel, until he finds her. She was in one of the apple-themed rail cars, deeply in tears.
"Octavia.." he whispers. It tears him apart seeing her like that. He slips off the hat he was wearing, walking over, and climbing into the ride, taking a seat next to his daughter.
"I take it you are..not having fun," Stolas frowned.
"I didn't even want to come here," Octavia sobbed, burying her face into her knees.
"I'm sorry, sweetie..." Stolas started. His tone was of full regret. "I...I thought you loved it here."
Octavia sniffled. "When I was a kid and my parents didn't hate each other...and my dad didn't flirt with some red dickhead the entire time.."
"I'm sorry, Via," Stolas continued. "I'm sorry...for everything... happening right now...I know it's a lot...I...I should have listened."
"I just want to go home," Octavia sobbed, wiping a tear out of her eye. "But home doesn't even feel like home anymore...you ruined it."
"You need to understand..." Stolas tried to explain. "Your mother and I...I just...I felt... She's always been...I haven't been...we weren't in...I'm sorry... I don't have the words."
Octavia looked at him for a moment. There was fear written in her eyes. "Are you gonna run off with him? And leave me behind? Go where I can't find you?"
"What? No, no, no, never," Stolas brought his daughter into his arms. "I'd never do that. Never. I think it's time to leave this place. You were right, you are far too old for it, anyway."
Stolas picked up his daughter in his arms, climbed out of the rail car, and began to carry her out of the fun house. As he walked, an imp was stalking him. He leaped down behind him from the ceiling and brought his switchblade.
Stolas turned, and red light flashed from his eyes. The imp froze, engulfing into stone. With that taken care of, Stolas carried Octavia out of the fun house and walked throughout Loo Loo Land.
So much chaos was going on, with the Eds and the rest of I.M.P. Green flames flared, and the battle was on the Robo Fizz. Stolas got through the chaos with Octavia and arrived at the gates.
"So, what would you like to do now?" Stolas asked his daughter.
"Oh, can we go to Stylish Occult?" Octavia lit up. "They sell weird taxidermy there."
"Hmmm..Oookay?" Stolas said a little nervous.
Octavia giggled. "Thanks, dad. You're okay, sometimes."
"Thank you, Via. Thank you."
The two's happy moment was interrupted, when the Eds and IMP were sent hurtling into the air, and landed in front of the two one by one.
"Way to ruin another good thing, sir!" Moxxie strained.
"Worth it," Blitzo forced a grin. "That slutty clown had. It. Coming!"
"Totally," Eddy smirked.
"What a crazy world we live in," Edd sighed.
