The four demons all prepped themselves for their next big target in the living world.
Blitzø equipped himself with a gun and knife in each hand, Millie grabbed and sharpened her axe with her fangs, Loona unsheathed her claws and filed her teeth with sandpaper, while Moxxie gathered some other weapons in a valet bag.
Soon, the gang were ready to go. With one rub of the Asmodean crystal in Blitzø's hand, a portal to the mortal realm opened in front of them.
Or, the town in the mortal realm where the client had died as a human and sent them, which was a small town Australia.
As they stepped through the portal to the town park, the demons looked around surprised at the cold moonlit night. It currently the mid-afternoon in Hell, and America.
"OK... was not expecting this." said Blitzø in surprise.
"Ya never do." mumbled Loona, who still texted on her phone.
"Aw well, guess this is a night mission then." Everyone groaned at his stupidity, since he didn't notice the weather.
"Shit, it is freezing out here!" Moxxie pouted. "Where's a hellhound when you need one?"
"I'm right here, you know?" said Loona sarcastically.
"Yeah right. I meant ANOTHER hellhound."
"Hey, didn't I tell you two to get along?" Blitzø intervened the two again.
"At least I have fur, Moxx." Loona tried finishing the argument saying that, until...
"Oh, shut the fuck up, puppy." grumbled Moxxie.
He was about to walk away, until he felt Loona's bushy tail stop him in his tracks. He then turned to see Loona snarling with a rabid look looking down at him.
Blitzø and Millie's mouths widened at what the gulping imp had done.
"You two! Get to planning!" growled the hellhound quietly. "Gonna teach fatty a thing or two about mouthing off."
She then grabbed Moxxie by the neck with the brute force of her paw and walked off to a private area of the park, while Blitzø and Millie grabbed out a blank canvas with black and red markers.
"So, we clear on what the plan is, Mills?" asked Blitzø enthusiastically.
"Two questions about that, sir." said Millie. "Which motherfuckers are we killing? And are you sure they'll all be in the one place? It seems like everyone in town would be in bed at this time. Even the police."
"I can unravel both for ya." replied Blitzø with the snap of his fingers. "Hey Moxx! What did the client say our target was?!"
Moxxie was heard screaming in the distance as Loona beat the shit out of him.
A/N: If this was part of the show, that part wouldn't be shown.
"It was a high school party where the kids who taped her accidental death were attending!" screamed Moxxie. "AAAHHH!"
"NEVER! EVER! SAY THAT! TO ME! AGAIN!" Loona roared as she repeatedly hit him.
"See, Mills? Not as easy as the targeted groups in our neck of the woods."
"Gotcha. While these woods seem to be in..." Millie looked around the entire park to find a sign with the town's name, before pointing at it. "Aha! No-Name City!"
Blitzø then rolled his eyes at the name. "Of course."
Moxxie and Loona came back from the beating, only Moxxie came back with a black eye after several hits.
Millie then walked up to him and repeatedly kissed it better. "Sorry hun." she soothed him.
"Nothing I ain't used to, Millie." replied Moxxie. "An eye like this could be sure to scare the targets into shape."
"Now you're getting it, Moxx." commended Blitzø. "Now with everyone here and accounted for, time for the high school slasher of the ages."
Blitzø then began drawing out the plan on the canvas.
"With Loona using her keen sense of smell, we track out where in said school these tween dumb-dumbs are blasting their little soiree, licitly split. Then once we're there, we devise our divide-and-conquer before going in for the kill. Now how do you propose we do it?"
"Knives!" Millie shouted in response.
"Guns!" continued Moxxie.
"Claws, or whatever." finished Loona with a meh expression. "They're the only thing I have, but they are the strongest."
"Fuckin' A, everyone! I love the way y'all are thinking." said Blitzø, before cooing to Loona. "See Loona? You two can get along every once in a while."
"Shut the hell up, da... ugh, Blitzø."
"Sir, every once in a while is quite the understatement." Moxxie interjected. "No wonder she stands behind a desk instead of in front of a target, let alone my eye!"
"Come on Moxx, don't be a puss." replied Blitzø. "Loona's all bark and no bite. Sometimes. She only does it on rare occasions, like when she's angry."
"ALSO an understatement! You can't even guarantee that."
"I hate to say this in front of him, but he's not wrong." agreed Loona reluctantly. "Really Loonie?"
"Who cares?!" protested Moxxie again. "Of course you'd bark and bark. You'd burn down a restaurant with a bark AND you'd kill a kid with a single bite!"
The rest of the gang gasped at that part.
"What?! I may be 'passive' aggressive with the little shits, but never ever!"
"You see? Why are you involving someone who doesn't care to use her advantages for anyone but herself?!"
"Goddamn it Moxxie, you're making this a bigger deal than it needs to be." Blitzø shouted impatiently. "This shit-named town needs to be saved from this school and we're like it's one hope, so either you FUCK UP or SHUT UP! Your choice!"
Moxxie then sighed, reluctantly but in agreement too. "Fine. As long as she does first. Last word: ME!"
"As long as...!" Loona sighed in annoyance that she couldn't finish that sentence now.
"Splendid, gang. Let's... fuck up or shut up, I actually like that." said Blitzø. "Heigh-ho, Loona!"
"Yeah, yeah, move it." replied Loona, as she turned on her keen sense of smell, got on all fours, and started sniffing in a straight zig-zag formation until she pointed her snout in the direction of the school.
"We should take two lefts starting at the first intersection down this hell, then we'll use a shortcut that'll take 5 minutes of a jog."
Loona then looked back at the gang speechless of how she could track her scents like that.
"What? Girl's gotta have skill, doesn't she?"
"Hell yeah, Loonie!" exclaimed Blitzø with glee. "I'm 50% proud of you. You'll get my full pride after the mission, sweetie."
Blitzø then ran up the top of the hill to catch up with her, while everyone else just walked.
"Okay gang, follow her once more, and remember..."
"We can't be seen." Moxxie, Loona, and Millie all finished for him in a beautiful harmony.
"Alright Loona, send the message." he ordered his daughter.
"Got it." she replied. With a beat of her chest, she took a deep breath and then...
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL...
The teenagers at the local high school socialised with each other as they drank, sizzled some sausages, danced, and yelled 'MATE!' all around.
A banner saying 'The Wicked Bitch is Dead!' was hanging up on the stage where a DJ was playing some sick dance tunes, as if they were celebrating a death of some kind.
In which cases, they were.
A few days ago, a selfish cheerleader named Roxanne Bannister got her heart broken by a boy she loved, and when she tried to prank him in vengeance with a black paint can full of gasoline, it went awry and it fell on her, dousing her Mufti Day dress and accidentally killing her as well.
Her boyfriend taped it, knowing she was trying to do it. Even though she would've killed him with it, it became a viral talk of the school afterwards.
Back to the party, where one of the students suddenly heard a howl from nearby, but quickly assumed it was a neighbourhood dog.
A big mistake.
The imps and the hellhound hid behind a shady tree close to the school, having made it through the shortcut.
"I'm honestly sad to see these lambs die." she growled sinisterly. "Too bad they won't grow into sheep who use ewes for their tits."
"Alright you three, we've hidden behind trees before." the boss cocked one of his guns. "See you on the other side."
Blitzø jumped from the tree and slithered all the way to the nearest entrance with Loona on all fours again, while M squatted, for now undetected.
The high school student who heard Loona's howl was still a bit uncertain as he drank his can of coke. His friend slowly walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"All good, mate?" he asked him.
"Yeah... all good's a way to desc-" he was cut off from the sound of a gunshot.
Everyone stopped as they heard the gunshot and then looked at the kid in a shocked silence.
"What?" he asked, before looking down to his belly-button, which was now a belly-hole full of blood.
He then died falling to the ground, with everyone gasping and murmuring in panic, while one student fainted.
Another student screamed seeing Blitzø in the bush where he took the shot from, as he then hissed to the rest of them like a lizard.
"AAGH! KILLER CLOWN!" she screamed.
He then pounced out of the bush bearing his knife and gun in each hand, before unsheathing another one of each.
"I'm not the only one seeing this shit, right mate?" a buff high school goon quivered, before getting pounced on by Loona, which took them all by surprise.
Taking a bite of his shoulder, Loona began flailing the kid around her mouth, shaking him like a rag doll before tossing him to the fence.
Stomping on his chest with one of her paw pads, Loona unsheathed her claws and pointed them at his neck.
"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!" the student screamed, before Loona slashed his throat wide open with only one swipe.
"OWWW...!" went the now bled-out student.
A few other kids started getting dragged towards Millie with the use of her tail. Once they were all laid in a straight line, Millie then sliced each of their heads off with her axe, followed by a venomous cackle and cat-like hiss.
All the others could do was watch in horror as the I.M.P gang took on more kids in this gruesome fashion.
"What the fuck is going on, mate?!" they'd scream to each other.
Just as the panic went on, Moxxie then caused a big thump on the concrete, making everyone look at him carrying and dropping the fainted kid's frequently stabbed body.
"On behalf of Roxanne Bannister, WELCOME TO HELL, KIDS!" he grinned evilly holding his shotgun.
He started shooting up the crowd of kids as they began running in terror.
The rest of the gang saw this as an opportunity to pick their kills at random, from Blitzø stabbing one's skull open to Millie melting another one with her 1000-degree axe dug into their stomach.
"Mate! Call someone!" one of the goons yelled to his best friend.
"I can't! The fucking bars are down!" he replied, before Loona chomped his head clean off, Venom-style, and looked to the other kid pissing himself.
"N-N-Nice, doggy?" he chuckled nervously.
Hearing that insensitive phrase from him made Loona seethe in more rage.
"You humans just make me VERY rabid! MATE!" she yelled before slamming him to the ground and violently ripping him apart.
A few more students tried to make their escape and nearly succeeded, if it weren't for Millie blocking their only way out.
"Oh no, y'all don't!" she shouted, before throwing a grenade into the air, jumping even higher, and then whacking it into the centre with her 'baseball' axe, causing them to explode to pieces.
Moxxie was busy cutting a few power lines to prevent 911 being involved, as Blitzø soon rounded up the last pair of kids.
"NOW WHO WANTS TO SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH DAD...!"
He was about to finish his catchphrase before he heard a beer bottle breaking and shot an old man who ran towards them with it, trying to stop the attack.
But then, something else happened.
Another figure saw what was happening from behind a bush.
Blitzø gasped and tried to shoot him too, before he started running as fast as he could.
"Oh no! A WITNESS!" Millie cried. "He'll ruin EVERYTHING!" added Moxxie.
"Not if I can help it." Blitzø touched his shoulder, with a few intestines stuck to that hand of his.
"ARGH! GET IT OFF!" screamed Moxxie, as Blitzø dog-whistled for Loona.
Loona was busy mauling on another kid's corpse, until she heard the whistle.
"LOONA! FETCH!" she then looked to the figure running away from the school.
"Oh, oh, ho, that little motherfucker is dead!" she snarled before running after him on her hind legs.
"Now, as I was saying..." Blitzø then looked back to the rest of the students, shaking like turkeys.
The figure was now out of sight from the school massacre, before he heard...
"GET BACK HERE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" roared Loona. "I'LL GIVE YOUR RIPPED-OUT EYES SOMETHING TO PERVE AT!"
This got the figure screaming like he never had before, as if Loona was his biggest fear.
As they both ran far away, the gang finished the job.
Guns were shot, knives were dug deep, bombs exploded, and it was all over in a flash.
When everything stopped, all that was left of the school were bloody bodies.
The trio panted in success at their hard-work.
"Whoo! Great job M&M!" Blitzø hugged them close to him tight. "Best fucking mission yet!"
"Amen!" M&M said together.
"Alright, now what?" the boss asked Moxxie.
"Now, I believe Roxanne wants all these bodies gone from the courtyard, but keep the blood." explained Moxx.
"An example of who these people fucked with, eh? Now that's a woman I can respect, along with Millie."
Millie then blushed hearing that.
"In that case, clean up, crew!" he continued. "Time for some grocery shopping!"
MEANWHILE...
The figure was still running as fast as his legs could carry him from Loona and her full wrath.
Even as a hellhound, a faster species, he still managed to outmanoeuvre her so he could find a place to hide.
And he was in luck. Up ahead was a primary school of some kind currently closed for Winter break.
Flinching from her growls and pants nearby, the figure then ran to the school from the pedestrian crossing.
He made it to the gates near the office just as Loona spotted him from afar and barked loudly to get his attention.
The figure began climbing up said gates and landed safely on the other side, before she could start running towards the school.
He immediately ran into the girls' bathroom and into one of the cubicles, hoping Loona wouldn't dare find him in there, before dousing himself in deodorant from his backpack to keep her from sniffing out his natural scent.
Afterwards, he ran downstairs and into a hallway of classrooms using a glove to open the door without exposing his fingerprints. He soon ran into one of 3 classrooms, went to the far back, and closed the two sliding doors before hiding underneath a pile of beanbags.
He hoped Loona wouldn't find him after going through all that effort to avoid her, even with no windows to spy on her through.
But sadly enough, she was able to claw the hallway doors open.
"Where the fuck are you, SPY?!" she roared as she began sniffing him out again.
The figure then gasped and shivered in fear, shocked of what strength he had. But he then remembered to calm down, thinking that if dogs could smell fear, wolves could smell absolute panic.
So he became still for now, but still watched the doors from underneath the beanbags, as he heard and saw her burst through all three classrooms trying and failing to find him.
He then sighed in relief when she started leaving the hallways, groaning in annoyance at his hiding skills.
"Yes!" the figure quietly cheered to himself.
While Loona continued searching outside, he tiptoed out of the classroom and was about to open the door, until Loona picked up the sound of him turning the knob.
She looked up at the hallway window and saw him with her super-sight, shocked he was actually up there. But she shook it off as she growled and moved slowly to that door once again.
Coming closer, the figure started running towards another door on the other side of the hallway then opened it and jumped off the staircase before Loona could catch him.
The landing may have sprained his ankle, but he still ran across the courtyard all the way to the bigger classroom hallway right next to the two.
Safely inside, the figure barricaded the door with a few heavy leathery chairs to make sure she wouldn't get in, but after he ran again, it still proved no use.
He then ran into the office of the school, jumped underneath the receptionist's desk resulting in a coffee mug, a pencil holder, and even the computer being broken, and finally crawled all the way to a dark hallway hoping she wouldn't see a thing back there.
Unfortunately for him, the chase was over.
Loona found him after going a different route. The damned teacher's lounge.
She began approaching the figure on all fours once again as he shuffled backwards until he reached a dead end.
"You! Are! So! Dead!" she licked her lips in hanger ready to maul him to shreds. "I've had enough of tonight! Get ready for me to tear you up on a ONE WAY TRIP TO...!"
Loona's rage was cut short hearing high-pitched sobbing and shaking from the figure.
"Huh? You're crying?" she mocked him. "Fucking pathetic, dude. Why do you even sound like a...?"
The figure then took off his black hoodie to reveal his face.
Turns out, he was a little boy with small silky brown hair and a face nearly covered in frost, dirt, and cuts.
Loona then stopped talking and stood up on her hind legs, backing up in a gasp. She did not see that reveal coming.
"Oh... my God." she trembled, speaking to herself. "It's a kid?"
"PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!" the boy screamed, crying in fear and burying his head in his knees.
Loona could only look in shock as she watched the petrified little kid sob his eyes out, thinking he could meet his end with her at any moment.
She then looked to the razor-sharp claws on her shaking hands as the kid whispered:
"You... monster."
Loona's ears perked up hearing that, and incredibly, her heart started breaking. As if seeing him whimper wasn't enough to make her sad.
Nonetheless though, she held it back and took a couple of deep breaths, about to do the most unthinkable thing yet.
Loona crouched down to the boy's level, whilst keeping her distance from him.
"Hey, hey, kid, shhhhh." she began calming him down in a gentle tone. "It's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you anymore."
The boy still looked away from her and tried to move back more before hitting the wall.
"Come on little dude, please don't cry." she continued. "I'm not a monster. I know I look big, mean, and scary like one, but I'm not. I just didn't know you were... you know. I promise."
The kid then showed one open yet tear-filled eye from his knee seeing Loona's soothing.
"Hey, are you okay?" she asked him, noticing some heavier breathing. "Kid?"
He soon collapsed to the floor having a panic attack. Loona quickly moved up to him and kneeled all the way down.
She used her paw to gently feel his forehead for any fevers, and while it was pretty high, his pulse started calming down to the point of a deep sleep with her touching him.
Loona now couldn't help but feel disappointed in herself for once. She couldn't figure out why and normally wouldn't give two shits about kids, like Moxxie said. She'd just call them twerps or kill them if they got on her nerves.
But this one was different. Sure he was human, but he was.
Suddenly feeling the urge to, the hellhound gently picked him up and cradled him with his tear-stained face next to her fur.
She soothed him going 'shhhhh' for the next few minutes, until he eventually passed out.
Thankfully though, he was healthy.
"Poor little guy." she sighed to herself in guilt, knowing what kind of trauma she might've inflicted upon him for the rest of his life. His life had barely just begun too.
She started walking very slowly out of the dark hallway and away from the school with her tail wagging, carrying the boy asleep in her arms as she wiped the tears and dirt off his frozen face.
A/N: See y'all in the next chapter.
