Ch. 13: Good News on A Bad Day
(Intro starts, Ready to Play by Club Player)
This is a dream world, we're living in.
Junior is seen sitting on a couch in the IMP break room, polishing his guns.
Every move feels like a beginning.
Junior is then seen sitting in the meeting room with the others, sharpening his scythe with with a sharpening stone.
I can't believe my eyes.
Blitzo is standing before them with his hands behind his back.
I'm feeling so alive.
Blitzo slams an order form and a photo of the target on the table.
All the colors in overdrive.
Everyone looks at the photo and Junior smirks a bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Game time, game time.
Junior stand up and twirls his scythe in his hands.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Aim high, aim high.
Millie and Moxie stand up, ready for action while Loona lazily gets up and rolls her eyes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Game time, game time.
Loona sends a look to Junior, sending a small smirk at him while Blitzo comes to Junior with a smile on his face.
Power up, here we go.
Junior lifts his scythe before swinging it, opening a portal to the mortal realm.
Are you ready to play?!
The group stands before a castle in London, England.
Are you ready to play?!
The group charges into the castle though a back door, leaving a two dead guards on the floor.
Get ready. The world's at your finger tips. There's nothing like this.
They make it to the master bedroom and see group of guards before them.
Are you ready to play?!
The guards point their weapons to Junior and the others, ready to kill them to defend their king/queen.
The future's today!
IMP gets ready to fight, Moxie pulling out a shot gun, Millie pulling out a mace, Blitzo pulling out a flintlock gun and dagger, and Loona growls and bares her fangs.
Get ready. The world's at your finger tips.
Junior smirks at the guards before pulling out one of his guns.
Are you ready to play?
Junior shoots the bullet at the screen in a flash of light.
(End of Intro)
The hell sun rose over Imp City as a certain apartment building came into view, where two people were snuggling in bed after a blissful and passionate night.
"Good morning." Loona said, waking up first and greeting her boyfriend.
"Morning, beautiful." Junior said, smiling softly to his girlfriend/mate. "Hope you're not sore from last night. I went a little rougher than usual, since I did owe you a bit."
"Yes, you did and I don't mind. It's a nice feeling, surprisingly." Loona said as she leaned up.
"Good to know." Junior said as he leaned up.
He shared a quick kiss with Loona, which she hummed into before breaking apart.
"So, do you want to shower together or do you want to do it alone?" Loona asked him, still smiling.
"I think you should shower first, I honestly can't feel my legs." Junior admitted, having a nervous chuckle.
Loona giggled and walked to the bathroom.
'I guess I don't know my own strength.' Loona thought, closing the bedroom bathroom door behind her.
The bathroom connect to Junior's bedroom was painted monochrome with gray tiles, a chrome tub/shower combo with a glass door cover and a matching sink with black cabinets and drawers. Loona went to the towel closet and got herself what she needed but before she would shower, a single thought came to mind and it would need something for it.
'I hope Junior didn't find them.' Loona thought as she checked under the sink, finding section of feminine products and grabbed a pregnancy test.
The hellhoud had gotten these some time ago and she hadn't thought of using them until now, wanting to be sure of herself before hand. She did what she needed to do quickly before setting the test on the sink for safe keeping, Loona then went to the shower to wash herself while she wondered what the test will say in a few hours from now.
-One shower later-
It took a while to clean her fur and dry off in a way that didn't get water all over the bathroom, before Loona hid the pregnancy test and headed out of the bathroom.
"All yours, babe." Loona said to him.
Junior nodded to her and went into the shower. As he took his shower, Loona decided to head to the kitchenette and make breakfast for both of them. Loona didn't know much about cooking but she knew enough to get by.
'Some pancakes, bacon, and eggs should be good. And some coffee to tie it all together.' Loona thought as she got to work, turning on the coffee maker before getting to work on the food.
It didn't take too long to make the food, completing the full meal just as Junior finished his shower, coming out of his room in a pair of pants with no shirt.
'Never gets old.' Loona thought as she saw this before turning back to the stove.
"Hey, Loona, coffee ready?" Junior asked her.
"Just about yeah, pour yourself some." Loona said to him.
Junior poured some coffee in two mugs, for him and for Loona, before bringing them to the table as the hellhound beauty herself had made two plates of pipping hot flapjacks with a separate plate of eggs and bacon.
The couple had a nice breakfast, being nice and full for work later on today. Who knows what they'll face today when you work for an assassin-for-hire company?
'I should probably grab the test before I go, so I can know when the results come.' Loona thought as she poured some more syrup on her pancakes.
Breakfast went peacefully until it was time to head to work. A portal provide by Junior would get them there instantly and cut travel by traffic down in a flash.
The couple walked through the lobby of the building and took the elevator to the third floor, right where their company office was.
"Have a good day." Junior said to her.
"Count on it." Loona said with a smile as they entered the office, the hellhound walking to her receptionist desk.
-A few hours later-
They had no business for today, strangely but they didn't argue as it was a good time to catch up on maintenance on weapons or clean up around the office. Well, except for Loona since she stayed at her desk all day except for lunch. Around 1pm, they finally got a job, a simple snipe to a cheating wife and bring the head back to the client.
Junior and Moxxie were chosen for this assignment, Blitzo didn't bother doing it himself because he had some more IMPORTANT business to deal with.
'Yeah, right.' Junior and Moxxie thought as the former opened a portal to the mortal world.
The duo came out on the Empire State Building of New York City and the midday sun shined over them.
"Nice location." Junior commented as he looked down to the city streets.
"It's also good that the top of this building is currently empty." Moxxie said as he looked around, holding a sniper rifle in his arms.
Junior nodded to Moxxie as he pulled out some binoculars he grabbed from the office, looking over the city.
"And we can work better this way. From the information the client gave us, the target should be about 2 blocks away on the 8th floor of an apartment complex." Junior said as he pointed to the west.
"Got it. I can aim and shoot but do you have an enchant spell to help with it?" Moxxie asked him, taking position at the edge of the roof.
"I think I do have one. Give me a second." Junior said as he clapped his hands together, rubbing them as he chanted a spell in a dead language.
He waved his hands over the rifle as the scoop gained a green glow before Moxxie set it up and aimed for the apartment.
"The spell is done. It can now identify the target fro you. Now you just have to aim and shoot." Junior said as Moxxie nodded.
'2 blocks away, 8th floor of an apartment complex.' Moxxie thought as he aimed just right, the magic of the scope increasing his sight distance.
It appeared to be a man in his 20s with brown hair and blue eyes, taking a nap on his couch without a care in the world.
"Target acquired and he's sleeping too." Moxxie said, focusing on the gun.
"Good. Once you take him out, I'll head in and cut off the head to bring it back to hell." Junior said to Moxxie, who nodded in agreement.
The Imp took slow, calming breathes as the wind blew. He took in the distance and wind resistance in his mind before he slowly pulled the trigger right as the draft to a halt. The bullet flew through the air, cutting passed several buildings and missing several birds before breaking through the target's apartment window and hitting him in the head!
"Nice shot." Junior said, watching through the binoculars.
Thank you." Moxxie replied as he popped the empty shell out of the gun.
Junior put the binoculars away before he summoned his scythe and sliced a portal open, walking through to grab the body of the decease before he cut the head off.
'Done and done.' Junior thought as he walked back through the portal, leaving the body, and returning to Moxxie with the head in his hand.
"All we have to do now is head back, package this up, and deliver it to the client." Junior said to Moxxie, gesturing to the head.
"Got. I'll call Millie and tell her to open a portal." Moxxie said as he pulled out his phone
One quick call later, the duo was back in the underworld and inside of IMP headquarters. They got the head cleaned before wrapping it up like a present and delivering it to the client. Moxxie was tasked with the delivery but Junior wanted to go with him.
"Relax, it's just a candy ass delivery. Moxxie can handle something like that." Blitzo said to Junior, somewhat ordering him to stay.
"I get that but it's just a delivery. What's the damn problem?" Junior asked with a shrug.
"Because it's just a delivery, no need for two people to make it. I'm just thinking smart here." Blitzo said to him.
"Hmm." Junior hummed, seeing the logic but still wanting to go with Moxxie.
Junior, it's fine. Blitz is sort of right, I can handle a simple delivery by myself." Moxxie said to Junior, holding the box in hand.
"Well...okay, I'll stay here. Just be careful Moxxie, okay?" Junior said to him.
"Will do." Moxxie said as he made his way out of the office, heading towards the drop off spot.
Watching Moxxie leave, Junior still had a bad feeling so for some reason as he sat on the lobby couch. A feeling that he needed to be ready for something, anything to happen today. Following this feeling, he summoned his scythe and sharpening stone to sharpen it.
About half an hour later, sirens suddenly went off as everyone in the office froze in shock.
"Wait, is that..." Millie said slowly.
"Yeah but...it can't be! Today can't be THAT day, can it?" Blitzo asked as he quickly went to check the calendar, in a rush and in panic!
Finding today's date, Blitzo felt his heart stop as his finger shook at the date and turned slowly to his friends.
"It...It's...It's extermination day." he said with a stutter.
"Oh...fuck." Junior said with wide eye sockets.
If today was that day and Moxxie was still out making the drop off, then he was in trouble!
"But Moxxie is still out there!" Millie said, tears building up as her husband was in danger!
Jumping to his feet, Junior ran to door as everyone turned to him.
"Junior!" Loona called out to him!
"I'll be back! I'm going to find Moxxie! You guys look in the book and put up a defensive spell to protect the building!" Junior shouted to them.
Loona wanted to stop him but fear froze her in place! If there was one thing in hell that EVERYONE feared, even Overlords, it was the yearly Extermination.
'No! Don't go, please!' Loona thought, holding her phone tightly as Blitzo took the book off her desk.
He was going to do as Junior suggested and put a protective magic barrier around the building.
Meanwhile with Junior, he had made it outside of the barrier in time and began his search for Moxxie. Looking to the skies above, Junior saw the exterminators begin to descend and pick off any demons left in the streets. Some tried to fight back while others ran, the angels repaid in kind by fighting against them or chasing them down!
'Moxxie, please be okay.' Junior thought as he made himself invisible, making it so he could search for Moxxie easier without being seen. 'If I follow the delivery route to the drop off, I should find him! Hopefully, he isn't in trouble yet!'
The more he followed the route, the more he saw demons being killed. This agreement with Heaven to help control the population was ludicrous, especially since it was just in the pride ring where mostly Sinners resided and pulled innocent hellborn demons into it. But Junior couldn't focus on that now, he just had to continue to run and find his friend before it was too late.
10 minutes passed before Junior finally found Moxxie and it was just as he feared, he was cornered by exterminators, covered in injuries, and about to be killed!
"MOXXIE!" Junior shouted, becoming visible and pulling out his guns.
The exterminators turned to his shot right as Junior pulled the trigger, shooting 2 of them dead before the last two flew away to dodge!
"Junior! Thank Satan!" Moxxie said with a smile.
"Come on, let's go." Junior said to him, holding his hand out to Moxxie.
Picking the imp up and putting him in his hood to ride in, Junior turned back to the remaining exterminators and prepared to fight.
"Hang on tight, I'll deal with these two quickly and get us back to I.M.P." Junior said to him.
"Thanks but I can't just sit back and let you fight alone. Please, let me have one of your guns to help." Moxxie said to him.
Mulling it over and see that he could use the help, Junior nodded to the imp and handed him both his guns before summoning his scythe.
"Alright, Mox, you can back me up with shooting any I don't see." Junior said as he readied his scythe.
"Great!" Moxxie said, cocking the guns and got ready to fight and ready for some payback to give those damn angels.
Junior took off running, focusing on getting them back to I.M.P. while the angels didn't let them escape and flew after them! Moxxie kept his word and shot at any that came from behind them, hitting them perfectly in the chest and heads while Junior slashed up any that tried a front assault.
Their battle to survive seemed to catch the attention of other exterminators as they flew to try and kill them but they kept shooting and slashing as continued to their office building. A ten minute run seemed like an eternity but they made it. Junior saw the barrier was up like he asked but that would mean they would have to get in another way and he knew just the way.
"Hang on, Mox!" Junior shouted as he ran for the building, readying his scythe as exterminators dived towards them!
"Whatever you're planning, do it!" Moxxie shouted as he kept shooting from behind Junior but the bullets were about to run out!
Once he got close to the building, Junior slashed his scythe against the barrier and opened a portal right through! Jumping through and shutting it quickly, Junior and Moxxie watched as the exterminators hit the barrier of the building and banged on it to try to get them.
"Sorry. you sons of bitches, but you'll have to find another pair of prey!" Junior shouted as he stood up and checked on Moxxie. "You alright? Your injuries aren't too bad are they?"
"Yeah, I'm alright. My wounds are shallow, so they just need some rubbing alcohol and maybe some stitches." Moxxie said to him, rubbing some of his arm wounds a bit.
The duo picked themselves up and walked into the elevator. The duo went in comfortable silence as the elevator opened, Junior took Moxxie out of his hood and set him on the floor to sit while he sat next to him as they headed for the third floor.
"Thanks again, Junior. I should've remembered what today was." Moxxie said, holding his side.
"It's fine, Mox. Blitz didn't remember either, so you don't have much to feel sorry about." Junior said to him.
After the elevator reached the third floor, Junior helped Moxxie to his feet and walked to the office. Opening the door, the two of them were meet with a crying Millie on the couch, a worried Blitzo pacing in the room, and a jittering Loona biting her nails at her desk.
"Hey, guys." Moxxie said with a wave, making everyone look towards them.
"MOXXIE!/JUNIOR!" they screamed, rushing towards the duo!
The adrenaline had caught up with Junior and he fell to his knees as Loona hugged him tightly with Moxxie being pulled into a strong hug by his wife!
"OW!" he said in pain.
"Sorry, hon, but I was so worried!" Millie said as she cried into his shoulder.
"God Mox, I am so sorry! I never would've sent you out if I knew that was today!" Blitzo said in worry of his best friend!
But now he was so happy to see his friends were alive! Millie and Loona were the same as the held their men closely.
"That was very extremely ballsy but fucking stupid!" Loona said to him.
"Yeah. Sorry if I worried you." Junior said as he hugged Loona close.
"It's fine but.....I was just so scared. Not for me...but for someone else." Loona said as she reached into her pocket.
Pulling out the pregnancy test, Loona placed it in his hands for Junior to see for him to see.
The two lines made Junior gasp as he looked up to Loona, his jaw dropping as Loona was crying a bit.
"Loona...you..." he said slowly, shocked by her.
"Yes. I am." Loona said, crying a bit as she smiled at him.
Despite the soreness and pain, Junior pulled himself up and picked Loona up to kiss her! Loona graciously kissed back, dropping the pregnancy test, as everyone turned to the sudden kissing, wondering what exactly was Loona so happy about.
"Loonie? I didn't think you'd be that happy about Junior making it back safely." Blitzo said until he noticed something on the floor. "Huh? What's this?"
Bending it down and picking it up, Blitzo saw it was a pregnancy test!
He gasped excitedly as he bounded in place, turning to Loona with wide eyes!
"LOONIE! YOUR PREGNANT!" He shouted, surprising Millie and Moxxie as the wife was patching up her husband.
"WHAT?!" They shouted at the same time.
Loona and Junior broke their kiss as they looked to everyone.
"Yeah." Loona said with a soft smile.
"B-B-But when?!" Moxxie asked in surprise.
"I found out this morning. I wanted it to be a surprise to tell him but I didn't remember today was THAT day either." Loona said as Junior set her back on the ground.
"That's fine! We're. . Gonna be parents!" He before a thought came to him. "Oh shit. We... should probably tell my parents."
"Oh. . Yeah." Loona said as he eats flopped down.
"Why? Is that bad?" Millie asked, going back to bandaging Moxxie.
"You don't know his parents. His dad's alright but his mom,.....she's fucking scary." Loona said to them, shivering a bit.
"Yeah, she is." Junior said with a nod.
After leaving Loona with her father, who was dotting over the thought of a grandchild, Junior went to the break room and pulled out his phone. This wasn't going to be an easy call to make, especially since he and Loona have been together about a year and he had already gotten her pregnant.
'I'll take responsibility and I won't leave her but I'm still afraid of what mom will plan after hearing this.' Junior thought as he pushed the "home" contact on his phone.
Waiting for someone to answer, Junior was somewhat relieved to hear the head butler/head guard answer the phone. Lord Pain AKA Charles.
Hello, young master! So glad to hear from you!" Charlie said with a happy tone.
"You too, Charles. Listen, I have some news. News that might...freak the family out." Junior said to him carefully.
"What?" Charles asked.
"Well..." Junior said slowly before he explained the situation and Loona's surprise for him.
"This is great news!" Charles screamed into the phone.
"Yeah, I know but I worry mom won't be static about it." Junior said in worry.
"Nonsense! Mistress Mandy will be overjoyed!" Charles said to him through the phone.
They talked as Charles went to tell the rest of the family. Hopefully things will end well.
Junior's weapons:
1. Two guns, long and silver WWI era guns with engraved frames. (Alucard's guns from Hellsing)
