Izumi was now ten years old, and life couldn't be better; she was quickly getting the hang of her pacts, Bee and Vortex's relationship was going wonderfully and she herself was growing up into a very kind, sweet and strong girl who was adored by the denizens of Gluttony.

Izumi was best friends with Octavia; the two often going on misadventures together as they learned to control their powers. Via-chan was also developing an interest in taxidermy, which Izumi was not all that crazy about but supported…mostly because Octavia made 'weird' or 'hybrid' taxidermy. In return, while Via didn't see the big point of heroism, when Izumi talked about it seemed noble and something she'd do as a hobby, in between her future duties.

This friendship had led to Izumi getting better acquainted with Stolas, Octavia's devoted father and a lower ranking family of Uncle Ozzie. Stolas was an affable gentle-demon who, whenever not exploring the cosmos and helping ensure or deny harvests for both hell and earth, adored spending time with Via and applauded Izumi's interest in heroes, often regailing the Gluttony princess with the 'real' stories behind characters found in the constellations.

…The less said about Octavia's mother Stella, the better. If one must had an idea: Izumi NEVER liked her…and few blamed her.

Finally, there was Blitzo.

"THE O IS SILENT!"

As it turned out, the Imp had been something of a beloved childhood friend (possibly more, but Izumi didn't look into it) of Stolas and had, as he stated, grown up with Fizzaroli in his father's circus. He was an abrasive fella, but held a soft spot for the Gluttony princess, possibly due to the fact he hated Bee the least of the Kings of Hell.

Izumi had been trying to help Blitz and Fizz make amends, having noticed several shared and differing inconsesitances in what little they mentioned of their falling out. It was a….very, very, very slow going process.

SIN

Currently, the princess of Gluttony was visiting Satan in the Wrath Ring. The ring was frequented by Imps, and had a largely rural theme, like something out of a Spaghetti Western. It was also home to many of Hell's most savage creatures, which the denizens either hunted or domesticated.

Satan had babysat Izumi on the side once or twice but did it extremely sparingly, not wanting the denizens of the ring he lorded over to think he was starting to go soft. However, this was a special occasion as not only did he think Izumi was old enough to handle more of the ring's extreme conditions, but it was also because the Harvest Moon Festival was underway.

"So these events hold the Pain Games?" Izumi asked, sitting on a small throne next to Satan's giant one as they overlooked the festival.

"That's right, runt. They are a series of challenges to see who the toughest Imp is in the whole Ring of Wrath. Although every year we'd have a dead contestant or two. Last year resulted in 15 funerals, 9 of which were caused by one female Imp alone!"

"Sounds like a Hell version of the Roman Coliseum," Izumi noted.

Satan snorted. "You sure know your culture."

The king of Wrath hadn't changed much over the years; he still made it clear he thought Izumi should've been sent back to earth, even when Heaven made no attempt to bring the girl back; something that Lucifer especially used as proof Heaven wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

The forefather of imps and second strongest of the Kings did however, admit Izumi had a good head on her shoulders; so good in fact he was certain she'd become one of ther heroes who did go to heaven when she finally died: A comment that had sent Beelzabub into a rage, the King of Gluttony making it clear her baby girl would be at least 110 before that happened, and die surrounded by spouses, children and grandchildren.

That reaction actually made Satan smirk ever so slightly: He'd never admit it, but he loved how much Bee had matured since becoming a mother

Despite it all, Izumi did enjoy spending time with Satan; sure he was the grumpiest of her uncles and aunts, but his dedication to maintaining a semblance of law and order in hell (even if he was admittedly easily swayed) made her hang onto her childhood dream of becoming a hero: If the big red guy could somewhat act like one, surely she could, right?

The green haired girl also the festivities of the Pain Games. In fact, the female Imp that Satan had talked about earlier, apparently named Millie, was competing again. Fortunately, she only caused three deaths so far.

However, during the Shark Rangling, Izumi suddenly noticed a stray Imp trying to sneak up on Satan with a knife that had a strange golden glow.

"HEY!"

Izumi's shout alerted the Imp as well as Satan, who saw the knife in the would-be assassin's hand.

"So, trying to jump me? And with a restricted Holy Weapon?!" Satan roared.

Knowing exactly what 'Uncle Sat' was about to do, Izumi quickly covered her eyes to avoid the grisly fate the Judge of Wrath subjected the hapless Imp to.

"Alright, folks, nothing to see here." Satan said casually, wiping his claws on his shirt. "Let the games continue!"

Despite the upset, the Festival was a big success. After everything was over, Satan took Izumi aside to speak with her.

"Let me make this clear: I did not need your help back there. Still, as a King of Hell, it would be rude and cruel to not thank you in some manner. And since you still want to be a hero…I guess I'll give you my pact as well."

His own way of saying he did apprtiate her saving him, even if he couldn't say it himself due to his pride and image.

With a wave of his hand, a plume of brimstone formed a new tattoo, a demon skull with dragon wings, beneath Beelzebub's pact mark in-between Izumi's shoulder bones.

"This pact is calledDragon's Inferno. With it, you can harness the fires of Hell itself." Satan explained. "It also gives super-strength on par with mine."

True to his word, Izumi felt stronger than before, like she could crush a boulder with one hand. She then manifested a ring of flames around her that she could swiftly control and bend with a mere motion of her hands.

"I love it! Thanks, Uncle Sat!"

SIN

Months later, Izumi would end up receiving another new pact, this time for Leviathan.

It all started when it was the King of Envy's turn to babysit Izumi. The young girl always enjoyed visiting the Envy Ring, which looked more like an ocean floor, dominated by dark purple, violet, dark grey, and black-colored oceans and, at first glance, appeared to be a giant, never-ending ocean with several tropical islands and beaches throughout the landscape.

Within the depths of its ocean, the Envy Ring contained many underwater, prosperous civilizations and cities home to aquatic and deep sea-dwelling demons, including Hell-antis, a very wealthy and prosperous kingdom, and Envy's capital.

The cities, towns, and civilizations were lit by bioluminescent surfaces, decorations, and algae rather than using lights or electricity. The Envy Ring was also home to the majority of Hell's aquatic-themed demons and sea life, and its treacherous seas were lurking with numerous unidentified sea monsters and creatures that made even the scariest sea beasts back on Earth look like adorable kittens.

Despite the name of the Ring, it was a dwelling place for the ultra-wealthy. Any denizens who wanted to visit had to ride a giant translucent sea turtle to get into the domed city of Hell-antis.

"Auntie Levi, I'm curious; how do you control the Ring of Envy?" Izumi asked. "You have the best luxury here! Plus, using glowing algae instead of electricity is genius!"

"Envy translates to the unobtainable. We simply possess what others don't have, even more so as we are underwater and other demons can't live down here. It also marks our ambitions higher than other people's vices."Leviathan's bad head explains as she was finishing paperwork before her good head added:

"If people want it, they work for it. I guess you might call me the opposite of Lucy; he just lets demons and sinners run rampant, I'm, if they put in the work, am willing to treat them well.

Out of all the Sins, Levithan was the most unpredictable. Sure, if one knew her well enough, they could guess what she was thinking; one head was the opposite of the other. However, they constantly switched up which head did what, so there was no discernable way of 'manipulating' her….Not that it didn't stop Mammon from flirting with her every chance he got.

In a way, Auntie Levithan kind of reminded Izumi of the'Inside out' movies she watched with her mother: the more human head being very much like Envy and the demon head being akin to Disgust.

Izumi looked over the books on Envy and smiled at the information on the rings' tourist destinations. She always enjoyed reading about them ever since she first was given a tour of the ring.

"So sweetie, I heard Satan recently gave you his Demon Pact," Leviathan spoke up after shaking out of her thoughts before her bad head spoke next."It rubs me the wrong way that I haven't given you mine yet. Let's fix that, shall we?"

"Awww, thanks, Auntie Levi!"

With the wave of her hand, Leviathan conjured a mass of bio-luminescent algae that splattered over Izumi's face before melting off, revealing a new tattoo situated around her eyes, making it look like eye makeup. At the corner of her eyes were betta fish fins that had tribal markings and above her eyebrows in a fishnet design like a crown.

"Like it?" Leviathan's nice head asked excitedly before her mean head continued."It's called Serpent's Eye. With it, you have Telekinesis and the ability to read people's minds, including their emotions and memories."

Izumi beamed as she hugged Leviathan tightly, making both of the King of Envy's heads blush as she petted the little girl's fluffy mop of emerald hair.

SIN

Another three years would pass before Izumi would receive her next Demon Pact and it was when the worst time of any person's young life first happened for her.

Izumi was currently visiting the Lust Ring since she was now old enough to handle the 'mature stuff' as she called it.

"So, thinking of getting your own followers, squirt?" Fizzarolli asked as Izumi was helping him at Ozzie's restaurant. Since she was still rather young, she was only given small jobs here and there at the joint.

"I dunno. I know Mama Bee and the others have people who serve them loyally but I'm not sure I'm ready for that responsibility yet."

Fizz waved it off. "Ah, don't sweat it. You're still young and in the prime of your life. Don't have to worry until you're like...18 or somethin'."

Suddenly, Izumi felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and curled into a ball. Fizz noticed and quickly stretched over to make sure she was okay.

"Hey! You alright, kid?!"

"H-Hurts...!" Izumi whimpered, tears pricking the corners of her eyes.

Fizz then noticed blood forming in Izumi's pants and his eyes widened in shock as he realized what this meant. Quickly, he took out his phone and speed-dialed Ozzie.

"Ozzie, babe? It's 'Zumi! She's...she's going through her first time! Y-Yeah, bring all of that and some chocolates too."

Luckily, Fizz didn't have to wait very long as Asmodeus immediately barged in through an explosion of brilliant neon blue flames with several boxes of chocolates, tampons, and Izumi's favorite hero merch from up on Earth.

"Uncle Ozzie's here, baby!"

Izumi was brought to Ozzie and Fizz's bedroom, the two making sure to comfort her through the process. During that time, Asmodeus made sure to guide Izumi on puberty and sex education. For being the Spirit of Lust, he was surprisingly gentle and mature in his explanations.

"Always remember this, sweetie; Lust shouldn't be about force, it's an art. To be earned, and enjoyed. It's all about that journey to pleasure town."

Asmodeus made sure to tell Beelzebub and Vortex so they wouldn't worry. After five days, Izumi was able to get through it fully and by that point, Ozzie felt that it was time she received his Demon Pact.

"You've really been worming your way into our dark hearts." The Embodiment of Lust chuckled. "But maybe that's a good thing in the long run. Certainly better than those uptight shitfucks in the place above."

With a wave of his hand, Asmodeus made a wisp of neon blue flames that made its way to Izumi before forming a new tattoo on her lower abdomen. It was in a heart that extended to a pinstripe style, two parts curving to have two small lilies blooming, and two other pinstripes extending to devil wings.

"I call itLover's Mist. It lets you manipulate all kinds of pheromones to put people under your absolute control. You can also create illusions to deceive folks or distract them with what they desire most before going in for the climax."

"Thanks, Uncle Ozzie!" Izumi beamed hugging both Asmodeus and Fizz in the process.

Knightmare Lord A/N:

In the next chapter, Izumi will get the final Demon Pact from Ol' Lu himself! She might also get to meet a few more characters from Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, like a certain Radio Demon and short-tempered Hellhound daughter of Blitzo...

Also, since we don't know Leviathan's personality yet, I decided that we'd give her friendly human head the personality of Envy from Inside Out 2. I don't know, she just gives me that vibe.

Anything on your end, Mrotrax?

Mrotrax A/N:

My favorite parts were Tsundere Satan and Ozzie and Fizz helping Izumi through her first period.

Before anyone comments about Izumi not liking Stella…are you really surprised? Also, this is CANON Stella; NOT the fanon 'she suffered as well' or the truly kind and loveable one from Lara-Kein's AU on DeviantArt. If I see so much as ONE person demonizing us for not going the sympathy route with that bird….!

Sorry. Sorry. That was uncalled for. Just…like Sera, Stella reminds me of…people I'd like to forget.

On a brighter note? Next time, Izumi will get her final pact and meet one of her future lovers for the first time (They're still kids, wait a few more years/chapters!)

Until then? Stay safe!
