Moxxie

Mitna Rachnun/Grey Realm

Moxxie let out a groan as he began to stir himself awake, the Imp winced as he tried to stretch, but found his muscles to be so stiff that it hurt him just moving.

"What happened at Ozzie's?" Asked Moxxie as he tried to release the tension in his muscles. As he did so, one of his hands subconsciously touched the ground and he froze stiff upon feeling said ground. It wasn't the hard stone pavement of Lust, but rather cold hard metal. Cold hard metal that he was familiar with all too well.

Looking down, Moxxie could see that he wasn't on the ground, but rather a metal bed that looked terrible to lay on. Along with the bed, Moxxie's returning senses can feel the cold and despair filled atmosphere that always filled Mitna Rachnun's general atmosphere. These two things, combined with the general decorum of the room that Moxxie was just now looking around, made Moxxie realize that he wasn't in Hell, but rather Mitna Rachnun. His father's realm.

When he realized this, Moxxie remembered his meeting with Keira, what he told him of what was happening in Runeterra, what his father's plans for it, and how he accepted to help her in getting Mordekaiser to actually do something against the Ruination.

He then remembered that Millie, Blitzo, and Stolas were also unfortunately dragged into this situation when they all saw him run off stage at Ozzie's and thus followed him in concern. This caused them to be dragged through a magic circle to Mitna Rachnun that Keira casted to allow them back to the Grey Realm. Remembering the ill effects that his father told him before about those venturing to the Grey Realm that weren't native to it, Moxxie started to panic about his wife and acquaintances when suddenly he heard a voice that he was stunned to hear.

"I see that you're finally awake, Moxxie." Said a feminine voice, causing Moxxie to turn around to see Morgana in the same room that he was in, her arms crossed as she sat on a metal chair that didn't look remotely comfortable to sit in. Seeing the winged woman in the same room as him, Moxxie was stunned beyond belief. Why was she here in Mitna Rachnun? Was she invited her by his father? If so, why?

"Morgana, why are you here? In my dad's realm." Said Moxxie softly as he looked at the woman that was his only friend in Runeterra as she got up and went over to Moxxie.

"The same reason that you are, I suspect." Said Morgana as she kneeled before Moxxie and helped him get out of the metal bed he was on. The Imp groaned as his stiff muscles moved, but Morgana quickly casted a spell on the Imp. It must have been some sort of healing spell because it helped with loosening and relaxing his body muscles. Sighing in relief at this, Moxxie rolled his shoulders before looking at Morgana.

"You're…you're here about my father. To try to convince him to help against the Ruination, right?" Asked Moxxie as he looked at Morgana, who simply sighed before nodding.

"That would be correct, Moxxie." Said Morgana as she looked at the Imp before her. "I heard what your father intended on doing regarding the Ruination from one of his servants that disagreed with his plan for the Ruination. She told me what he intended on doing and wanted my help in convincing him to aid in the defeat of the Ruination." Sighing a bit, Morgana then proceeded to sit on the bed that Moxxie was just on, the Imp scotting away to give her some room, before continuing. "While I kept your father distracted, she went to inform you about the situation with your father in hopes that you will help convince him to save Runeterra from the undead plight." When he heard all that, Moxxie was shocked at the scope of Keira's plan.

"So, Keira thought that only I can convince him to help against this Ruination, right?" Asked Moxxie as he looked at Morgana's violent eyes. The woman sighed before responding.

"Truthfully, I hoped that I could convince him myself, but it appears that only you can really make him reconsider his decisions. He's quite stubborn that way." Said Morgana with a small smile on her face. She then made a note of the fancy outfit that Moxxie was wearing and make a comment about it. "I take it we took you away from something important, yes?"

"Yeah." Said Moxxie as he looked down on the floor, realizing that his special anniversary with his wife was now ruined. "I was on my one-year anniversary with my wife and some acquaintances of ours. We were going to have some fun at a fancy restaurant when Keira came and told me everything that was happening back in Runeterra." Morgana hummed sadly when she heard that.

"I'm sorry to hear that Moxxie." Said Morgana with a look of pity and sadness for the Imp. "You deserve a chance to be happy with the one you love and your allies considering your father and the fact that you have a rough time in Hell I imagine."

"It's livable." Said Moxxie, recalling all the times he's suffered betrayals and near-death experiences during his time in Hell. Times that made him want to go back and live in the cold and dangerous, yet safe realm of Mitna Rachnun. Yet his love for his wife and desire to help his father make a better place in Hell kept him there, even if his father made some rather questionable decisions that are honestly not much different from those made by the current leaders of Hell. "Millie and the fact that my dad will most definitely be a better ruler than most of the people running in Hell keeps me there." Morgana couldn't help but scoff at that.

"The rulers of Hell must truly be awful in leading if your father is a better ruler than them." Said Morgana as she thought of how badly someone had to be at a ruler that someone like Mordekaiser was a better alternative.

"I can't vouch of them as individuals, but they aren't exactly mindful of the poor conditions that most of their citizens have in Hell." Said Moxxie as he thought of the rulers of Hell, the Sins and the nobles that help them run the show in Hell. "Charlie Morningstar is trying to improve life in Hell, and I believe she genuinely wants to help her people, but I don't think she's going about it the right way." Morgana hummed at that before responding.

"Regardless of what is going on in Hell, right now we need to focus on convincing your father to help deal with the Ruination. Every moment we dally gives the Undead of the Ruination more time to slaughter the living in Runeterra." Said Morgana. Moxxie just nodded at her words and was about to ask her where his father was when they suddenly heard some yelling.

"What the fuck is this place!? Who the fuck are you people!? Why the fuck is this place so fucking cold!?" Yelled the voice of Blitzo went as both Moxxie and Morgana stopped their conversation at the sound of his voice.

"It seems one for your compatriots is awake." Said Morgana with a raised eyebrow. With that, she got up from the metal bed and looked at Moxxie. "Come. Let's go see your compatriots and see if we can't calm them down. They're being guarded right now, along with your wife, in the same room. So shall we go and see them? No doubt your wife is worried sick for you." Upon hearing that, Moxxie nodded in agreement before the two exited the room they were in and into a long hallway made out entirely of metal. As they walked to where Moxxie's wife and acquaintances were located in, Morgana having been told where they were housed beforehand, Moxxie can feel some anxiety stir up inside him.

Pretty soon he was going to have to explain to Blitzo and Stolas about who his dad really was, and what his role was in his plans to conquer Hell, Heaven, and Earth. Not to mention the fact that he was keeping a big secret from his boss for a very long time. A secret that may or may not have him killed when Stolas learns of it and tells someone else about it. Mainly the Sins or even Lucifer himself. Just the thought of an agent of Lucifer or the Sins coming to his home with a warrant for his arrest/execution along with Millie and her entire family sent shivers down his spine. He knew his dad will protect him and Millie should something like that occur, but he didn't know how he'll go to protect them and if he'll do the same to Millie's family. Mordekaiser wasn't one to care about the feelings of others regarding the methods he uses to achieve his goals.

Soon, Morgana and Moxxie were at the door leading to the room where Blitzo, Stolas, and Millie were in. Something that Moxxie can easily tell by both the sounds of Blitzo's yelling getting louder and the guards at the door.

Flanked by two massive guards that must have been over seven feet in height, the door was a sizable door that can reasonably fit the guards if they need to go inside. Looking at the guards, specifically their scary war helmets, Moxxie gulped when one looked at him, his burning blue eyes causing Moxxie to nearly shit himself as they stared down at him. Being gone for so long, Moxxie had forgotten the feeling that came when an Undead from Mitna Rachnun stared down at you.

He imagined it was something the Sinners experience when they face the Angels during Extermination Day. Only replace the dresses the Angels wore with full plate armor that looked near impenetrable, add some couple more feet to their height, bulk them up more, and give them weapons that could cleave a dozen men in two with just one strike. Oh, and a deathly stare that seemed to drain your will to live and fight against the owner along with an aura of unease around said owner. Yeah, he really should make a note to visit back to Mitna Rachnun once all this business with the Ruination was over.

While Moxxie was scared of the undead soldiers of his father, Morgana wasn't. She simply stared back at the soldiers before speaking to them.

"Let us in. We would like to talk to the occupants within this room." Said Morgana as she stared back at the soldiers, not wavering in the slightest at their gauze. The soldiers complied with Morgana's words as one of them opened the door to the room, allowing both Moxxie and Morgana to enter the room. Upon doing so, they immediately were set upon with a tirade from Blitzo.

"I'm going to fucking ask one last time!" Yelled Blitzo as he pointed his antique and signature flintlock pistol at a soldier of similar appearance to the ones outside while five more were looking at Stolas and Millie. Both of whom were trying to calm Blitzo down.

"Blitzy! Please calm down." Said Stolas as he tried to hold Blitzo back from doing something he might regret. Though Stolas was quite powerful and was confident he can defeat all these…whatever these things were at once, he didn't want to get Blitzo hurt neither Millie for letting him and his Blitzy tag along during her wedding anniversary. Plus, he didn't know why, but these beings guarding them had some strange aura that only the nobility and the Sins had access to. An aura of dread and power and that left him stunned. If these common rabble had access to that aura, just how powerful was the one put them here in the first place?

"Yeah, listen to Stolas, Blitz! This ain't a battle we can win!" Yelled Millie as she also tried to convince Blitzo to stop and listen to reason. Even though she never saw the types of soldiers that work under her step-fathers armies, she knew from their appearance and the fact that they were in Mitna Rachnun that they were soldiers under the command of Moxxie's father. And, even though she was confident in their ability to fight against most things thrown at them, her step-father's soldiers were not amongst said things. And even if they could beat these soldiers, that left what else Mordekaiser had in Mitna Rachnun not to mention Mordekaiser himself. Plus there was also the tiny fact that none of them knew how to get back home in Hell. Stolas could bring them back, but she had a feeling it wasn't as simple as making a portal from Earth to Hell.

"Fuck that!" Yelled Blitzo as he aimed his pistol at the guard's horned helmet. "We were suppose to have a great night together when Moxxie suddenly got blue balls and then gets him and all of us fucking kidnapped by that blue bitch with no legs. When I find Moxxie, I'm going to…"

"Do what?" Asked Morgana as she made herself known to the Demons and Undead in the room. Turning to face Morgana, the Demons were stunned to see her.

"Moxxie!" Yelled Millie as she saw her husband. Rushing towards her husband, Millie hugged him tightly to the point that his eyes were bulging out once she got close to him.

"Millie, please." Squeaked out Moxxie as he was being hugged to death by his wife. While this was happening, both Blitzo and Stolas were looking at Morgana in shock at her appearance. While Blitzo was shocked to see such a normal looking human, with a body that would put Verosika's to shame, Stolas was stunned for different reasons.

"That aura around her. She couldn't be." Thought Stolas in rising fear as he noticed the feathery parts of her dress as well as the aura around her that felt suspiciously like an Angel's. Only more powerful. He only experienced the aura of an Angel once, when he met Lucifer Morningstar himself when he was invited to Charlie Morningstar's 195th birthday some years ago.

Never before had he felt such a powerful and holy aura before. Even when Lucifer Morningstar was acting so childish and playful with everyone, especially his daughter, the holy aura around him was a constant reminder to all other residents of Hell why Lucifer was considered the undisputed ruler of Hell and why its considered suicide to challenge his right to rule. Not that anyone would try, even with Angelic Weapons. Lucifer was apart of the Seraphim Caste of Angels. The most powerful of Angels in existence. Stories across the generation of demonic nobles told of the power of Seraphim. How even a single one can destroy a dozen demonic nobles by themselves. Needless to say, Stolas was frightened of the very idea of facing a Seraphim in battle and made a vow to never draw the ire of Lucifer in fear of his own life and his family.

But this woman. This woman aura was like Lucifer's own way back then yet it was somehow even more powerful. Granted, Stolas never saw Lucifer actually fight anyone, but still. This woman's aura made him fearful of angering her. Especially if she was actually a Seraphim.

While Stolas fearing about this woman, Blitzo was walking up to Moxxie with a pissed off look on his face. When Millie finally let go of her husband, Blitzo spoke up.

"You better got a good fucking explanation for what the fuck is going on, Moxxie." Said Blitzo as he looked at his employee, anger clear in his face as he crossed his arms. While he did promise Moxxie and Millie he'll treat Moxxie with more respect than before. With what happened back at Ozzie's, along with the fact that he was in a strange place he knew nothing of, well his temper was at its breaking point. Especially when this whole day was supposed to be a relaxing and fun day for all of them. Not to mention helping Stolas with his daughter problems. "How the fuck do we go from chasing your blue ball's ass down to being in a heavy metal fanatic's room! Not to mention being as cold as fuck despite being assured we got hit by a spell that keeps us from freezing to death!" Blitzo glared at the guards at the last sentence, who just outright ignored the Imp. "Not only that, but we find you with a goth broad whose got tits that would make her the envy of every Succubus in Hell."

"Goth broad?" Repeated Morgana as she narrowed her eyes at the tall and lanky Imp that was Blitzo while Moxxie looked at Blitzo in shock at what he just said to Morgana.

"Blitzo, if you can just calm down, I can explain the situation." Said Moxxie as he tried to calm Blitzo down, knowing how short Morgana's temper was. He kicked himself inwardly when he had forgotten to warn Morgana about Blitzo's…general behavior. No doubt Blitzo general demeanor will piss her off and a pissed of Morgana was not something any of them wanted. This wasn't the ideal place or time for him to explain the truth to Blitzo, much less Stolas, but he had to make up with what he had.

"Then fucking explain now along with why you're two timing your wife." Said Blitzo, causing everyone to look at Blitzo in shock.

"Blitz!" Yelled Millie in anger at the thought of her husband cheating on her and her boss for insinuating it. Especially with the woman that probably has the hots for Moxxie's dad.

"What the fuck, sir!?" Yelled Moxxie as he recovered his shock and glared at Blitzo in anger. But his anger was nothing compared to Morgana's.

"You dare claim that I would have an affair with Moxxie!?" Yelled Morgana as she walked towards Blitzo, her temper broken. She then grabbed Blitzo's chin and forced him to look at her and her violent eyes that were currently glowing in anger, making the Imp gulp, all sense of bravado and anger gone now, replaced by fear as he looked into the woman's violent eyes, which glowed bright in anger while the chains around Morgana's wings threatened to break. Something that Stolas noticed and couldn't help but grow an uneasy feeling towards the woman even as his protective instincts urged him to go help his lover. "You dare imply that I would dare be a mistress to someone who clearly loves his wife!?" Blitzo didn't say anything as Morgana's eyes glowed bright with power and anger. Before he could gather the courage to say anything, Stolas stepped in along with Moxxie.

"Now, miss, I must apologize for my date's lack of decorum and respect towards you and his employee." Said Stolas as he intervened, causing Morgana to look him in the eyes. Wincing at the glowing violent eyes of the woman, Stolas nevertheless spoke. Normally he would rush in to save Blitzo with force, but his self-preservation instincts yelled at him that would be a very bad idea so he opted for a more diplomatic approach. "While I completely understand your anger towards him, may I ask you to release him lest we do something we all regret." Hearing the request, Morgana just glared at Stolas and then at Blitzo, who was starting to get uncomfortable with the grasp she had on his chin. She then felt Moxxie grabbing her hip and hugging her. Looking at Moxxie and his pleading eyes for her to let Blitzo go, Morgana sighed before letting Blitzo go. The Imp gasped as Morgana let him go and crossed her arms under her chest.

"If you're Moxxie's employer, you should know him well enough to know he would never do what just said." Said Morgana as she glared at Blitzo in both anger and disappointment while Stolas went over to check up on him to make sure he wasn't permanently hurt. "Before Moxxie's explains the situation, I want you to apologize to him for daring to think he would be unfaithful to his wife. And then apologize to Millie as well as me. For daring to think I would ever make a man be unfaithful to his wife. Is that understood?" Blitzo just coughed as he looked at Morgana, a newfound fear of her swelling inside him, before conceding to her request.

"Fuck, fine." Said Blitzo before he looked at Moxxie. "Sorry for saying you cheated on Millie, Moxxie. And I'm sorry to you too, Millie. And you, miss big tits." His disrespectful behavior towards Morgana got both looks of shock and anger from everyone in the room except the guards, who just remained stoic and did their duty of just keeping an eye on everyone.

"Sir, are you trying to kill yourself!?" Yelled Moxxie when he heard what Blitzo just said to Morgana, who got angry again. So much so that the chains around her wings finally broke and allowed them to be brought out to their full glory. Upon seeing her wings, Stolas gasped in shock and horror at realizing that this woman was indeed a Seraphim when he counted the wings on her back, even the small ones around her nap, which he originally thought were some sort of odd fashion sense.

Fear overtaking him, Stolas did nothing as Morgana grabbed Blitzo again, this time by the throat, and forced him up to her height so she can stare him in the eyes as, despite Blitzo being tall for an Imp, Morgana was taller than him by at least two or three feet.

"I'm getting sick and tired of your behavior, Imp!" Yelled Morgana as she tightened her grip around Blitzo, causing him to start to choke. "Now is not the time for your disrespect and poor conduct! Much less any time! Either start being respectful towards others or remain silent! Do you understand!?" Blitzo widened his eyes in shock and renewed fear as he realized his usual method of being around others backfired horribly. Even more so when he realized that she was an Angel and a powerful one at that with how many wings she's got.

Choking a bit, Blitzo rapidly nodded his head at the woman, causing her to drop him to the ground. Glaring at Blitzo as he coughed a bit, Morgana looked at Moxxie.

"If this is your employer, I can't help but pity you, Moxxie." Said Morgana as she had her two larger sets of wings retracted back to her back. Once they were, the chains that held them before magically repaired themselves. Once they were fully fixed, the chains replaced themselves back on her wings, holding them in place once again. "If no one else has a desire to both anger my or interrupting Moxxie's chance of explaining the situation, then please allow him to explain the situation that led him to being here in his father's realm and why he needs to make him see reason." When they all heard what Morgana just said, everyone looked at Moxxie in shock.

"What does she mean by that, hun?" Asked Millie in concern as she looked at her husband.

"Realm? What realm?" Asked Stolas, getting a very bad feeling about all this.

"Yeah, and what the fuck did she mean by your dad's realm? I thought that fucker only owned shelters and was rich as fuck. Not a ruler of anything of worth." Said Blitzo, trying to get a read on what the fuck is going on as well. Moxxie just sighed before starting to speak.

"Blitzo, it's time for a long overdue confession." Said Moxxie as he looked at his boss. "My dad. He's not a Sinner who owns various shelters around Pride. He's actually…" Moxxie didn't get to say anymore when the door to the room suddenly opened and out came…

"Dad!" Yelled Moxxie in shock as his father appeared in his Rogier disguise. Looking at everyone in the room, Mordekaiser spoke.

"He's the ruler of this realm that you are currently residents of and eventually the ruler of all of Hell, Heaven, and Earth." Said Mordekaiser/Rogier as he looked at the assembled demons and winged woman in the room. Said demons, with the exception of Moxxie and Millie, shocked at what he just said.

"Hold the fuck up." Said Blitzo as he processed what the fuck he just heard. His fear for Moxxie's dad being overridden by the sheer absurdity he just spouted. "You think you, a fucking Sinner that isn't an Overlord, can take over Hell from Lucifer fucking Morningstar? A fucking Seraphim. Not to mention the Sins as well. And let's not mention Heaven as well. Just how fucked up in the head are you? Because that's the most idiotic and insane thing I've ever heard from anyone in my life. And I've heard a lot of shitty things." Stolas had to agree on that. This Sinner was…quite bold and arrogant to say the least. Yet, despite that agreement, Stolas couldn't help but notice that the bad feeling that was growing inside him was growing even bigger as he looked at the Sinner before him.

Instead of answering Blitzo's question, Mordekaiser simply looked at him, causing Blitzo's spine to grow cold as Mordekaiser looked at him.

"The only reason you still breath is because of my adopted son's desire to keep you alive for some reason. Were it not for that, I would have slain you the second time you failed to keep him safe from harm. As for your question, perhaps this will show you why." Said Mordekaiser/Rogier as he walked over to Blitzo, who started to remember his fear of Mordekaiser. As he walked, however, both Blitzo and Stolas were shocked further when Moxxie's dad began to change before their eyes.

The already tall Sinner was growing taller, becoming even taller than the soldiers in the room. His robes burned away and in their place was rapidly forming full plate armor that was of similar design to those soldiers in the room. Finally, the chill in the room became outright frostbite inducing even with the spells placed around the Demons and Morgana and with it came a sense of dread and fear that overwhelmed Blitzo to the point he was on his butt in fear as he looked at the approaching Mordekaiser/Rogier as he finished his transformation. When Mordekaiser was right up to the lanky Imp, his transformation was complete. Gone was the appearance that Blitzo was used to seeing from Moxxie's dad. In its place was a massive three meters tall suit of dark armor that had some sort of blue flames coming out from it.

Grabbing the frozen in fear Imp, Mordekaiser forced him to look him in his helmeted head, which had blue flames all over it that threatened to latch onto Blitzo to burn him alive.

"I am no Sinner of Hell." Said Mordekaiser as all the Demons looked at him in fear. Morgana, meanwhile, said nothing as she gathered the other Imps and Stolas around her, holding them close as they looked at Mordekaiser in fear. Something they all returned, even Stolas. He'd rather face a dozen angry Seraphim than dealing with this monster. Even Moxxie was shaking in fear at being forced to witness the true terror that was his father when he wished to intimidate someone. Looking at Mordekaiser as he intimidated everyone around him, Morgana wasn't as affected as everyone else when it came to the intimidation, chilling, and fearful aura that Mordekaiser let out, but it still left her weary of him and also served as a reminder to her that Mordekaiser was a tyrannical ruler that thrived in conquering and fighting anyone that dared to oppose his will.

Relishing in the fear around him, Mordekaiser continued to speak to Blitzo.

"I am Mordekaiser. Lord of Mitna Rachnun and eventually all of Hell will call me as their Ruler as well. Now, if you are done trying to get yourself killed, let us get to business." Said Mordekaiser before letting go of Blitzo. Once he was on the ground, Blitzo scrambled away from Mordekaiser and towards everyone else. Jumping up, he landed on top of Morgana's head and wrapped around it like a cat. Amused at Blitzo's reaction, Mordekaiser looked at everyone before speaking again.

"Come." Said Mordekaiser as he looked at everyone, all of whom were looking at him with fear, even Moxxie. All except Morgana, who just glared at him for his actions just now. "Let us venture to my throne room. Where we can have our discussion regarding the Ruination." With that, Mordekaiser left the room with the soldiers from before. Once he was at the door, Mordekaiser looked at everyone and waited for them to followed him, which they did after some prodding from Morgana. Like prisoners on death row, the Demons and Morgana reluctantly followed Mordekaiser to his throne room. As they walked, Blitzo spoke up.

"That is what your dad actually looks like?" Asked Blitzo as he looked at Moxxie in both fear and confusion as he tried to get himself under control. "What the fuck Moxxie. Just…just what the fuck did you drag us into?" Moxxie just sighed as he looked at Blitzo on top of Morgana's head, the winged woman annoyed with this but allowed it for now.

"I'll explain on the way. But yeah. That's what my dad actually looks like." Said Moxxie as he looked at his father with a newfound fear of his father. That aura and sight of intimidation he gave Blitzo reminded him of just how evil his father can be and just how much he was restraining himself in the past with Blitzo, Verosika, those humans agents when they captured him, and even the Radio Demon when they did something that irked him. That reminder made him realize just how little he actually knew of his father's power and that alone terrified him.

"Just how powerful are you, dad?" Thought Moxxie as he followed his dad's frame with everyone else in tow.
