Star Child

All the members of I.M.P went through the portal onto a beach in the human world and remained hidden underneath the pier so they could go over the plan.

“Now remember, we can’t be seen alright? And loose shots will likely cause a panic so Loona and the little princeling can help with leading targets to a better spot to off ‘em. You got the list, Loony. Don’t forget to show it to the kid.” Blitzo said.

Loona lifts up the piece of paper containing the list of people they needed to kill and she quickly smelt it, memorizing the scent of their targets just from their names. A special trait that was only seen in hellhounds. She then quickly handed the list to Seren before standing up.

“Got it.” She said as she quickly transformed into a beautiful human goth teenager with vivid red eyes.

She was wearing her usual outfit, except her choker no longer had any spikes, and her long silver hair was shaved on the right side. Seren closed his eyes as the list was enveloped within an ice blue aura, lifting itself into the air before the aura linked itself to the center of Seren’s brow. His eyes snapped open, revealing an ice blue sheen surrounding his eyes.

“Done.” He said before following Loona’s example.

He easily transformed into a rather androgynous-looking preteen boy. His eyes were a dark shade of pink and long lashes framed his almond-shaped eyes. His gorgeous snow white hair was styled messily and framed his heart-shaped face.

“Woah… Loony, look at you… you look downright awful! I am so proud.” Blitzo told his adopted daughter with a happy smile, “Now fetch! And princeling, play the lost kid! Ready, set, go!”

Loona quickly got to business and quickly spotting quite a few of the people on the list. Seren rolled his eyes before moving into the crowd, also spotting a few of the targets. Loona confidently walked up to a buff young adult before silently asking him to follow her into an isolated alley. The man quickly agreed and followed her, instantly shot dead before he could even touch her. She looked up to see her adopted dad holding up a thumbs up and smiling at her while his employees watched. Seren quickly approached a pretty young woman, tears in his eyes as he got her attention.

“Oh, sweetheart! What’s wrong?” She asked while kneeling down to his level.

“I-I can’t find my sister. She told me to not to leave her side, but I'm not a baby anymore. I wanted to prove that I didn't need to always be with an adult! But I lost her and I don't know where she is.” Seren told her with a sniffle, rubbing the tears away.

She smiled before petting his head, “It’s okay. Take me to where you last saw him, okay?”

He nodded before leading her to an abandoned alley where she was quickly shot in the head by Millie. As the day continued, Loona and Seren quickly led the targets to their deaths with ease. Millie and Moxxie killed off the targets led to them by Seren while Blitzo killed the people lured in by his daughter.

“That’s 18 kills in the bag. I’d like to see that Whaley snatch orgasm that many…” Blitzo said before a familiar voice interrupted him.

They turned around to notice a pink stage with ‘Verosika Mayday’ written on a banner.

“Alright, spring breakers. You all ready to get fucked up and make bitchin’ bad choices!” The succubus yelled into her microphone.

Verosika was in her human disguise with blond hair, pale pink eyes, and a heart tattooed underneath her right eye. Her audience wildly cheered for her.

“This is your final warning call. All aboard.” She said to the crowd with a wink.

The words 'Fuck you Blitzo’ quickly blinked onto the stage screen, much to Blitzo’s outrage.

“Goddamnit! That bitch started her goatish mating call. Now she’s going to win all these sex maniacs! We gotta pick things up guys.” Blitzo said.

Loona looked longingly at the beach concert.

“Is he on the list, Loony?” Blitzo asked while pointing at a guy picking out his guts beside him.

“Huh? Yeah, I-I think so…” Loona said, not really paying attention to him.

Her gaze quickly found the handsome human-form of Vortex, Verosika Mayday’s hellhound bodyguard she had a crush on.

“Good!” Blitzo yelled out as he lifted up an ax to kill the guy.

“Oh! Woah! What are you? A Leprechaun?” The guy asked with a laugh.

“Yeah, pretty cool huh?” Blitzo replied before killing him, “But you sure shit ain’t going to tell nobody! Alright, next one Loony. Come one… Loony? Wait, where?”

He quickly looked around for Loona, quickly growing worried when he noticed she wasn’t where she had been standing earlier.

“What?! What?! Where’s my b a b y!” Blitzo screamed out, tears in his eyes as he frantically looked around for his beloved daughter.

“Look!” Millie said while pointing to the human-form of Vortex.

They all saw Loona walking up to him. Blitzo watched the scene with horrified eyes before they narrowed in protective anger. Loona continued to walk through the crowd towards Vortex, quickly checking to make sure her make-up looked okay. She quickly glanced around, having briefly lost sight of Vortex before catching a glimpse of him dragging away a body. She turns to walk towards him when an incubus grabs her shoulders, looking at her with a lustful, enamored look. She annoyedly punches him before continuing on her way.

“Now who wants a piece of this!” Verosika called out as she threw her flask of Beelza juice into the crowd of mortals.

It unfortunately landed into the ocean, spilling the liquid from hell onto a small catfish. The catfish slowly began to mutate into a monstrous creature, unseen by anyone on shore.

“Hey… you…” Loona called out nervously as she stood next to Vortex.

“Oh, hey… you’re the hound working for my boss’s freaky ex.” Vortex replied.

“Yeah…” she chuckled nervously, “Sorry if that’s weird.”

"It’s cool, her beef ain’t mine.” He said with a disinterested shrug, “I’m not paid enough to care.”

Her smile stretched uncomfortably across her face as she tried to hide how nervous she was feeling, “Yeah, yeah… I’m Loona.”

“Okay.” Vortex chuckled in amusement before he stiffened and strangely yelled out, “I’m Vortex!”

It would have seemed as if he were mocking her, but he quickly turned back to her with a soft smile. Showing Loona he was only trying to alleviate her nervousness.

“That’s hot.” Loona accidentally said out loud before she blushed heavily, “I mean, like, literally… Because Vortexes, you know, they-they give off heat… probably… right?”

“Uh, yeah. I guess.” Vortex said with an amused chuckle, “But my friends call me Tex.”

“Oh yeah, I wish I had friends.” She said with a nervous laugh and playing with her hair, “I mean… I-I mean, I-I don’t… I-I don’t have friends…”

“Am I… interrupting something?” Blitzo asked, Seren nervously standing beside him.

“No, man. Just having a conversation.” Vortex said with a shrug.

“C o n v e r s a t i o n leads to HPV!” Blitzo said to Vortex aggressively.

“Blizto, get the fuck out of here! You’re going to get us all into shit!” Loona yelled.

“I just wanted to see what was so important to be distracted from your job.” Blitzo drawled out while looking Vortex up and down.

“What? I can’t have a break?” Loona asked as she physically lifted her dad up in the air before putting him down on the opposite side of her.

“We have a parking spot on the line!” He yelled back.

“Hey, dude. Why don’t you chill out?” Vortex asked.

“Why don’t you stay out of it, okay? This is our business. Literally.” Blitzo replied.

Loona glared at her dad angrily, “Ugh! Fuck, Blitzo! Why can’t you stay out of my face for like five minutes?”

“Because I adopted you! And that should mean something!” He yelled back.

“Oh, what does it matter?! You’re not my real dad! I was almost 18!” She screamed back.

“It still counts!” He argued.

“Well it shouldn’t! I didn’t need you then, asshole! I don’t now…” She said, before turning her back to him.

Blitzo looked back at her with sad eyes, saddened by her callous and hateful words. Seren glanced at Blitzo in concern, he knew how much those words must have hurt his father’s imp lover. At first, Seren had believed Blitzo to be uncaring of anyone, but seeing how upset he was gave Seren the impression that the imp used his care-free abrasive attitude as a shell to protect himself.

“Uh, Blitzo… I’m…” Lonna trailed off nervously.

“Enjoy your break, Loony…” Blitzo said in a mournful tone before straightening and shaking away how upset he really was, “I’m going to kill something!”

“Damn girl, that was savage… you okay?” Vortex said, touching her shoulder in concern.

Loona broke into a full-faced blush and smiled, “Yeah, I’m… fine. He’ll get over it. He always does.”

“I’m glad you can stick up for yourself at least. Takes guts.” Vortex replied.

“Thanks.” Loona said before looking away in guilt.

Seren decided against following Blitzo, knowing he probably needed to let off some steam. Seren wasn't sure how to feel about the current situation. He sympathized with Blitzo, but he didn't want to. He needed more time before deciding how he would treat his father's lover going forward, but as long as he didn't have to leave his mother by herself then he might be able to get along with Blitzo. At least for his father's sake.

“How’s working for Verosika Mayday?” Seren asked Vortex.

“It’s very… boring. She honestly only ever needs me when she’s partying up in the human world and even then I’m barely needed.” Vortex replied with an eye roll.

“Well, if you ever want to quit, let me know. It looks like my dad wants me to bond with Blitzo so I’ll definitely need protection while in the mortal realm. If you’re interested of course.” Seren said with a smirk, glancing at Loona briefly.

Loona blushed once more before nervously smoothing down her hair once more, “He, uh, he’s a Goetia prince…”

“No shit? Sounds cool, little man. I’ll let you know if this thing with my boss doesn’t pan out.” Vortex replied with a grin.

Suddenly, a huge monstrous catfish rose up from the sea and caused wide-spread panic. It grabbed Moxxie with it’s long tongue and ate him. Millie quickly made a make-shift bomb and threw it at the creature before swimming out to sea and began to climb the creature’s body. She rescued her husband Moxxie, throwing him back to shore into Blitzo’s arms, before gutting it from the inside. After easily killing it, she swam back to the beach shore and dropped her knife to catch her breath. The two hellhounds continued talking as Seren stopped to watch the ensuing drama occurring. Seren noticed Verosika and her followers confronting the three imps. Seren ignored Loona’s failed flirting attempts and broke into a grin as he saw Blitzo yelling in victory alongside an excited Millie. It looked like the members of I.M.P had won the demon duel.

“Tex!” Verosika yelled out to Vortex as she and her followers began to leave the beach.

“Well, guess it’s time to bounce. But hey, if you’re ever down to party, I’ll give you a ring sometime.” Vortex said.

“Really? I mean… yeah… yeah.” She said as he smiled up at him.

“Yeah, my girlfriend throws a ton of crazy hound parties!” Vortex replied happily.

Loona’s smile became strained after hearing his words, “Nice… can’t wait for my first one…”

Vortex chuckled before bumping her shoulder in a show of friendliness, “Let’s get you some friends girl! And I’ll see you later, little man.”

Vortex grinned as he ruffled Seren’s hair and walked away to join his boss. Loona’s shoulders drooped sadly after being friend-zoned.

“Come on Loony-tuney! Princeling! Let’s go back and park our fat fucking car in our fat fuckingspace!” Blitzo called out excidedly before following his employees and jumping back through the portal.

Loona groaned before taking Seren’s hand and dragging him with her towards the portal back into Hell. Blitzo, not able to resist giving his ex one more 'fuck you' quickly leapt back up the portal to flip her off with a grin before going back to hell, the portal closing behind him. Verosika growled in annoyed anger, she hated losing to Blitzo.

“Put your hands up, you sick deviants!” A cop yelled.

“Alright sluts, get ready to suck a lot of pig dick.” Verosika told her followers and bodyguard as she held her hands up as a sign of surrender.

They all groaned as they all followed her example. This was not the first and it most definitely would not be the last time that they would have to perform sexual favors to be released from police custody.

I am definitely taking the prince’s job offer the moment I get back to Hell, Vortex thought to himself as they were taken away by the police.
