Ch. 21: An Asshole Falls

Velvette woke up from her nap and got out of bed. A small yawn came from her mouth as she stretched her new arms, hearing the servos whirring inside.

"I'm not used to that yet." Velvette muttered as looked at her clock and saw about two hours have passed since her nap. "Yeah, I guess that's a good time to get up."

Velvette looked at her to-go bag with her flesh burger with bacon and cheese, making her stomach growl a bit.

'God, I'm still fucking hungry?' She thought before grabbing her bag and opening it, taking out her burger. 'Ah, delicious flesh.'

With a big bite, Velvette hummed in delight as she exited her room while still eating. She did care that her burger was a little cold, so she was heading to the kitchen to warm it up before finishing it.

...Not that it really mattered to her, food is something most people take for granted, she used to be one of those people before her fall from "grace."

'Eh, I'll probably finish it before getting to the microwave. Maybe I'll get a drink instead.' Velvette thought as she took another bite of her burger.

As she reached the lovby, Velvette found Emily at the bar drinking from a bottle.

"Hmm, can you spare one of those?" Velvette asked with a full mouth, walking to the bar.

"Well, look who's awake." Emily said with a grin as Velvette sat next to her.

"It's been a tiring few days." Velvette said.

"Well, what would you like and what are you eating?" Emily asked as Husk was in a break right now.

"Anything works and this is a special cannibal burger I got with Rosie, so hands off." Velvette said, being territorial with her food.

"Don't worry, I'm not touching it." Emily said.

She had already eaten, so Emily didn't need any of Velvette's food... Plus, Velvette looks like she isn't afraid to bite off someone's fingers for touching her food.

"So, what sort of drink would you like? I know you said anything but I just want to be sure." Emily said as she got up and walked behind the bar.

"I wouldn't say no to a Cape Cod." Velvette said.

"That's vodka, cranberry juice, and a lime wedge, right?" Emily asked, having learned some things about mixing drinks from watching Husk.

"Yep. But give mine two lime wedges." Velvette said.

"Oh, daring today, are we?" Emily asked, quirking a brow.

What most people don't know is that limes are known to be more sour than lemons or in some cases more bitter depending on the person who tastes them. So having two lime wedges in a drink, that's a very daring choice.

'She eats flesh, so she might have the tongue and stomach for it.' Emily thought as she mixed the drink.

Emily wouldn't know, she hates limes.

"Here you go. One Cape Cod, double lime wedges." Emily said, presenting Velvette a red drink with ice, a straw, and two slices of lime inside.

"Thank you kindly." Velvette said.

Velvette set down her food and drank from the straw, tasting her favorite drink after so long.

"So, how is it?" Emily asked.

"Just as good as I remember." Velvette said with a smile.

"Glad you like it. I think I'll have one myself minus the lime." Emily said, pouring herself a second drink.

"Are you a drunk? Because you're drinking like a drunk." Velvette said.

"No, I just have a high tolerance for alcohol." Emily said.

"Ah... so you're an alcoholic then." Velvette said, pointing at Emily.

Emily gave Velvette a blank expression as she finish her first bottle of booze before eating the bottle itself.

GULP!

Swallowing the shards without looking to be in pain.

"... Or you could just be insane." Velvette said, pulling her hand back.

"Welcome to hell, everyone here is a little crazy." Emily said before jumping over the bar and back into her seat next to Velvette. "And the really crazy ones are those drunk with power like your former-"

"DON'T say those names around me. I don't want to see or hear about them ever again." Velvette said before eating more of her burger, now down to half of it. "Those Numpties can die today and I wouldn't care unless it was to go piss and shit on their graves."

"Numpties?" Emily muttered, confused by this word.

Emily would never understand where some words, like that, came from.

"Okay, so I won't mention them, but I have to agree that they will get theirs someday." Emily said as she drank her Cape Cod without lime. "Hopefully, sooner than later."

"On that, we can agree." Velvette said, taking another bite of burger. "I kind of hope I can see it."

Velvette didn't know how close she was to getting her wish, even if she wouldn't see it in person.

In another part of the city, Blitz was on top of a building with binoculars.

"Okay, now if I was a pathetic bitch, where would I be?" Blitz asked, looking down at the streets.

"Maybe some high class apartment? Though I wonder if there are any of those in this city." Moxxie said, having never been to Pentagram City before.

"Hard to tell, Mox." Blitz said, pulling away from the binoculars. "A lot of these building look the same from the outside."

"I'm sure we'll find him in no time. He makes that weird red smoke, doesn't he?" Millie asked, sharpening a knife to pass the time. "We just need to follow that."

"Better said than done. This air around here is making it tough to sniff out." Loona said, rubbing her nose as she looked at her phone.

"Hm, then maybe we have to do this the old fashioned way and ask around." Blitz said, putting the binoculars away.

"Really, sir? Who do you think would give up a semi-powerful overlord?" Moxxie asked.

"Someone that really hates him. He lost a lot of power, remember? Maybe we'll run into a former employee of his." Blitz said as he made his way to the rooftop door. "Come on, we're burning daylight."

'This is not gonna work.' Moxxie thought with a groan as he, Millie, and Loona followed Blitz.

Once on street level, they began walking around. They did nothing to stand out, even if most demons knew about IMP.

'Alright, who looks like they know something?' Blitz thought, glancing around.

He soon spotted a hooker, possibly one that used to work for Valentino. Surely she would know something.

"Watch and learn, Mox." Blitz said, approaching the woman with a grin.

"Ugh. This should be good." He said as he, Millie, and Loona waited.

"Ten bucks says he'll get backhanded." Loona said.

"Make it twenty." Moxxie said quickly.

"Deal." Loona said with a grin.

'Easy money.' Loona thought.

Meanwhile with Blitz, he put on sauve face as he got the hooker's attention.

"Hey, doll." He said as she looked down at him.

"Hello, handsome. What can I do for you?" The hooker said, giving him her best smile.

"Something simple, but dirty considering who it is. I'm looking for someone." Blitz said, leaning against a wall. "Tall, ugly, moth like."

"A tall moth?" The woman asked, losing her smile. "Does he have red eyes with a white fur collar?"

"I take it you don't like him?" Blitz asked with a grin.

"Yeah, that fucking cunt was a real piece of work." The hooker said.

"And you're happy to not be working for him anymore?" Blitz asked.

"Ecstatic. That fucker promised me fame and fortune but he was just a slave driver. Fucking glad he lost his status." She said, pulling out a cigarette from her bra.

"Well, not that I like the guy, but I'm looking for him and I was wondering if you could help me out a bit?" Blitz asked, pulling out a lighter. "I've got a "present" I'd like to give him up close and personal."

"Really? Well, last thing I heard of him was he was hiding out in a fancy building between pentagram city and the entertainment district." She said, revealing what she knew.

"Really? Could've fooled me with how his run in the entertainment business went." Blitz said, igniting his lighter and offering it to the hooker.

"You and me both but I wish I could've been there to see him suffer at Asmodeus's hands." The hooker said with a grin, lighting her cigarette and taking a puff.

"I know Oz personally. Trust me, I've seen him mad and I would hate to be on the wrong side of that." Blitz said, "Thanks for your help."

To compensate her for the information, Blitz pulled out two 20 dollar bills and stuck them in her short-shorts before walking away.

"You're welcome and hey. Give Val a good bitch slap from Tina." Tina said, winking at Blitz.

"Oh trust me, I'll do more than that." Blitz said, winking back.

Seeing Blitz coming back with a victorious grin, Loona cursed under a growl as Millie held out bet hand.

"I believe you owe my Moxxie 20." Millie said as Moxxie looked surprised.

Loona pulled out a twenty and handed it to Moxxie, mumbling something.

"Why are you made ovef 20 dollars? You're married to a sin, you're loaded." Millie said.

"Doesn't mean I like losing a bet." Loona said.

"Alright gang, we got a location! Let's head to the entertainment district!" Blitz said, arriving back at the group. "And we better hurry before he gets away."

"I'll go get the van." Loona said, walking back to where they parked the IMP van.

Which had been greatly repaired and upgraded thanks to Loona. No more breakdowns for them.

Blitz was honestly so happy, for once in his life, he felt like he had everything.

'Nothing is going to ruin this day. Especially not some washed up porn asshole.' Blitz thought as Loona came up in the van.

"Get in." Loona said as the trio of imps got into the van.

The imps got in and Loona started driving towards the location.

Meanwhile in the suite of the Do's (Spanish for two) Vees, Valentino was still watching TV with another drink that Kitty had gotten for him. He was watching the Lust Channel, which shows pornographic programming from HIS old studio and the Lust Ring.

He was currently watching one of the newer one, one made by Asmodeus.

"Ugh, it's all about consensual pleasure, what kind of deviant watches that!?" He complained.

And that wasn't even the worst part? This film was starring HIS Angel Cakes (Angel Dust)! Who looked to be enjoying more than any of his films before!

He was getting angrier the more her watched and almost threw his martini glass at the screen before the power suddenly went out.

"Fucking great." He mumbled, putting his glass on the side table.

Kitty turned on her robotic lights, allowing Val to see better.

"Kitty, go get the candles." Val said.

"Yes, master." The fem-Fizzy bot said as she went off to find candles.

'Did Vox have another hissy fit?' Val thought, assuming the whole block was out.

To alleviate his boredom, Valentino pulled out his phone and randomly read through social media. Not knowing that this was a planned effort against him.

"Lights are out, Mills, you're up." Blitz said, using an earpiece and standing next to the building's open fusebox.

"You got it, Blitz." Millie said through an ear phone, already inside of the building and running up the stairs. "I'm almost at the top."

"And I'm in position two buildings away. I've got him in my sights if he tries to run." Moxxie said, also using an earphone and aiming a sniper rifle at Valentino from another building.

"Loona, is the car in position? We need to get him and get out fast." Blitz said.

"Yeah, the engine is running and we've got plenty of gas in the tank, so we're ready to gun it when you guys got him." Loona said through her phone.

"Alright, everyone ready?" Blitz asked, shutting the fusebox.

"Oh yeah!/Yes, sir./Sure." Millie, Moxxie, and Loona said at the same time.

"Then let's capture this moth fucker." Blitz said with a grin.

Back in the building, Millie reached the top floor and picked the lock to Valentino's apartment door, while Blitz was getting the zipline ready so he can bust in on another building.

'A classic pincer sneak attack. The fucker won't see it coming.' Blitz thought.

"Alright Mills, time to give this guy a surprise." He said.

Millie finished picking the locks before stepping back and taking a deep breath.

"Knock knock." She said, joking before kicking the doors in!

Val jumped from the noise.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" He shouted as he stood up from the couch.

He looked to the door, seeing nobody was there!

"Is someone in my fucking house?!" Val shouted as Kitty came back with some candles.

"Here you are, Mr. Val." The robot said, setting the candles and lightning them.

"Mox, take out the robot." Blitz said, using binoculars again.

"Roger." Moxxie said before pulling the sniper trigger.

"Kitty, get my guns! Now!" Valentino ordered the robot

"Right awa-"

POW!

"AAAAH!" Valentino screamed as he saw Kitty collapse with a hole in her head!

"Well, time to have some fun." Millie whispered, pulling out a knife in her hiding spot.

"Who the fuck are you?!" Valentino shouted, unfolding his wings as he looked around.

"Someone that is about to make a lot of money." Millie said from the darkness, charging at him.

Even in the dark, Val could make out her shape and tried to swing at her but Millie slid between his legs!

STAB!

Val was slashed in the leg, hissing in pain before he managed to kick Millie towards the wall.

"I don't know who the fuck you are but you'll have to get up pretty fucking early to get the jump on this pimp!" Valentino shouted.

"Funny, I heard you weren't much of a pimp anymore. Or even a man, ahahahahaha." Millie said, mocking him.

Val growled and charged at Millie, which resulted in Moxxie firing and hitting him in the knee.

"AHH!" He screamed in pain.

He fell to a knee and Millie ran at him, tackling and stabbing Valentino in the chest. It wasn't an angel knife so he would live. He fought her off and pushed her back, but was left open for Blitz.

"HERE COMES DADDY!" Blitz shouted as he used his pistol and slid down the zipline.

He crashed through the window and kicked Val into another wall.

"Ugh!" He grunts as he slid to the floor. "Another one?! How many of you shits are in my house?!"

"Ugh, you have a really irritating voice." Blitz said, "If it wasn't for the bonus, I'd kill you right now just to shut you up."

He then pistol whipped Val down and started to tie him up with soem spare zipline rope.

"Alright, gang, let's hurry up, Stolas and I are meeting up with Fizz and Oz for a gala at 7." Blitz said.

"Date night?" Millie asked.

"Yep. Plus, it's a big event for Stolas and I want to be there to support him as a good husband." Blitz said.

"Well, don't worry, we just have to drop this ugly bastard off at that club and we're golden." Millie said.

"Club? What cl-" Valentino was suddenly silenced by a ball gag being placed in his mouth.

"No talking." Blitz said, tying it on.

"Finally, some peace." Millie said.

"Do I even want to know where you got that ball gag, sir?" Moxxie asked through the earpiece and looking at them through the sniper scope.

"I found it under the couch. Just laying there. Even without a dick, this guy is a freak." Blitz said as he and Mille picked up the tied up Val.

'Takes one to know one.' Moxxie thought as he got up from his position on the building roof.

They meet down in an alleyway and tossed Valentino in the back of the IMP van.

"Next stop, Verosika." Blitz said, slamming the doors shut.
