It's been three days since James had told Charlie that fairy tale... and three days since that nightmare. Every night since that day, the same nightmare would repeat in his head and wake him from pure fear. Vaggie would calm him down and both would go back to sleep, and the dream would go away until the next night. James hated not knowing what the dream meant, nor did he like it at all. It made him question what other entities out there that were like him... and that they can possibly kill him.

Anyway, Vaggie is seen at the bar having breakfast while Charlie was looking at her phone, looking a bit distressed. Then, suddenly, two leather clad arms wrapped around Vaggie and lifted her into the air.

"Good morning my beautiful angel!" James greeted his lover, spinning around in circles with Vaggie still in his arms.

"Hey! Put me down!" Vaggie orders, a smile clearly on her face. "James! I just ate breakfast!"

"Okay, fine," James says and stops spinning around.

He sets his girlfriend down on her feet and she turns to playfully punch James in the chest.

"Hey! What was that for?" the human asks.

"For scaring me and nearly making me puke my breakfast," Vaggie says. "And this is for making him smile."

She grabs James by his jacket and brings his head down to her level. She closes her eyes and presses her lips against his soft ones, giving him a loving kiss. James returns the kiss happily and smiles as he does so, placing his hand on the back of the Moth Demon's head and running his fingers through her soft, white hair.

"Aaaawwwww!" Charlie gushes, smiling at the sweet scene.

"Please stop making out in front of my bar," Husk orders. "If you're not getting anything then leave."

James and Vaggie blush from embarrassment and part their kiss, but not before Vaggie gives a quick peck on James' cheek and goes to sit back down at the bar with a satisfied smile. James smiles as well and sits next down next to his partner.

"So, how's everything going this fine morning?" James asks his friends.

"Meh," Husk says and Charlie groans.

"Charlie?" Vaggie questions. "You okay?"

"Not really," Charlie states. "We need more money for the hotel so we can afford more food for future guests, but I feel like my dad may cut me off someday so we're gonna have to find a way to get some money and fast."

"I can help with that," a familiar male voice says and everyone turns to see Angel Dust.

"No," Vaggie says. "I don't think we should have any part of your "money"."

"C'mon! My job ain't that bad!" Angel says and stands next to James. "Sup, handsome?"

"I'm fine, Angel, thanks for asking," James says. "And I think I can help with the money problem."

"Hm?" Charlie questions, perking up.

"I mean, I am a bounty hunter, so I can probably get some bounties that pay good and bring the money back here," James says. "Simple as that."

"It is a good plan," Alastor says, coming from nowhere.

"Even though the hotel is supposed to discourage sin such as murder, but I know you're gonna be doing bounty hunting either way so I suppose that you can do it," Charlie says, allowing James to follow through with his plan.

"Thanks, Char," James says and stands from his seat.

"Where're you going?" Vaggie asks James.

"Out looking for bounties or maybe a job," James informs. "Why?"

"You're just gonna leave without giving me a kiss?" Vaggie asks with a sly smirk.

James only shakes his head in amusement and places a kiss on Vaggie's lips.

"Sly Moth," he says.

"Dumb Human," Vaggie says to her boyfriend.

"I'll see you guys around," James says, walking away from his love.

He walks to the door and leaves the hotel, nearing his bike. As he walks up to it he finds it that he's rather bored with its current look, so he decides to change it.

"Really? Do we have to? I like the bike's look."

"So do I, but I've gotten bored of it," James says, getting on his bike. "Let's see what we can do."

We revs his bike, twisting the throttle and a sudden burst of fire surrounds him and the bike. Then a cloud of smoke is all that is seen, and a new bike rides out of it.

"Oh, hell yeah!" James says, riding through the streets.

~(--)~

[James' POV]

As I rode my new motorcycle through Pentagram City, I try to look for new bounties so I could get some money for Charlie and the hotel. Then I take notice of a T.V. commercial playing on a nearby television. I drove near it and parked by the T.V., watching the commercial.

"Interesting..."

"We should join them."

"Seriously?" I ask Zarathos.

"Yes. They seem fully capable of paying us and it seems like something we do, so it's our best bet."

"True," I say. "It does seem like something we would do."

As I ready myself to drive off to Imp City, a female demon walks out of the shadows with a lustful smile and sexual desire in her eyes. She had long blonde hair, grey skin, and yellow eyes.

"Hey, Hot Stuff~" the demoness greets me and I only look at her with boredom. "Nice ride. But maybe I can be a better one~"

"Back off whore," I order her. "I have no interest in you."

I drive off, leaving a trail of Hellfire and black smoke in my wake as I ride to Imp City and leaving the demoness in smoke.

~(--)~

I near the IMP building and park my bike, making it revert back to a more normal form. I hop off the bike and make my way inside.

Inside the building, it was messy and not really all the kempt, so I'm guessing that the business was new and the guy called Blitzø was still cleaning up.

I soon make it to a door with a piece of paper with the IMP logo on it tapped to the glass window of it. I smile, knowing I'm in the right place, and grab the door knob. I twist it and swing the door... right off its hinges.

"Whoops," I say, cringing at how poor the condition of this place was. "How bad is this place? I didn't even use much of my strength."

I carefully and quietly make it inside the room and place the door back in its place, hoping no one would notice the accident I made.

"Soooo, you gonna pay for that or what?" a female voice asked me and I turn to see a Hellhound not even looking at me, sitting at a desk as her attention was mostly on the phone in her hand.

"Heh heh, I, um... sorry?" I say. "I didn't exactly mean to pull that off its hinges."

"Don't worry, shit like that happens all the time here," the Hellhound says as I walk up to the front of her desk. "So, you here because you want someone to die, right?"

"Nah. If I wanted someone dead, I would do it myself," I say. "I'm actually here because I want to talk to Blitzø about getting a job here."

The Hellhound chokes on her own spit and she had to catch her breath, setting down her phone in the process.

"You what?!" the Hellhound questions me, not actually believing what I said.

"I want a job here," I repeat.

"Ugh. Fuckin... BLITZØ!" the Hellhound shouts, calling out to her boss. "SOME HUMIE WANTS TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT GETTING A JOB!!"

"Coming!" a male voice says from a nearby office room and I hear some scampering of feet.

Soon, a rather tall Imp with red and white skin and horns rushes up to me.

"Hello!" the Imo who I assume to be Blitzø greets me. "I heard my daughter shout that you wanted a job! That true?"

Daughter? I think to myself. Oh, wait, adoption. Huh, Hell actually has adoption centers.

"Yes, that's right," I say.

"Blitzø, this is, uh..." the Hellhound starts to say but seems to realize she doesn't know my name. "... and you are?"

"Name's James Ryder," I say. "The current Ghost Rider."

"Ghost Rider?!" Blitzø questions. "Seriously?!"

"Uh, yes?"

"Awesome!" Blitzø says. "I'm a big fan of your work! Killing all those people and whatnot..."

"Huh, didn't actually expect a demon to actually like me on the first meeting," I say.

"Moxxie! Millie! Get in here!" Blitzø shouts. "My idol is here and you two are being fucking lazy! Get your asses over here!"

I hear two more pairs of feet scuttling to us and I see two smaller Imps.

"Idol?" the male Imp who sounds a lot like Invader Zim questions as he nears us. "All I see is a human."

"Moxxie, don't you know that the Rider has a normal, human form?" the female Imp tells the male.

"Oh, right."

"James, this is Moxxie and Millie!" Blitzø tells me. "Moxxie, Millie, this is the Ghost Rider!"

"He's the Ghost Rider?" Moxxie asks. "He doesn't look like much."

"Oh, hush now, Mox. That's rude," Millie says and turns to me. "It's great to meet you! Man, Blitzø doesn't stop talking about you! Glad to finally meet the guy Boss talks so fondly of!"

"Okay, now I just feel embarrassed," I say, a light red color coming from my cheeks.

"Now! Let's commence a meeting so James can see how we handle things!" Blitzø says, grabbing everyone and pushing us into a conference room.

Well that was fast.

[No One's POV]

Blitzø has dragged everyone, including James, into a conference room and begins the meeting in hopes that James will like it at IMP and join.

"Alright, now I know business has been a bit slow lately, yes. It's no one's fault, okay? I'm not naming any names here.... Moxxie," Blitzø says, looking at Moxxie who gives him a "WTF?" look. "Now does anyone have any bright ideas on how we can get business drumming up again?"

"Ooh! We can do a car wash?" Millie suggests.

"This is Hell, Millie. No one cares about cars being cleaned here, okay?" the boss Imp states. "Ooh, what about a billboard?"

"We can't afford a billboard, sir," Moxxie states.

"Helpful, Moxxie. Really glad you're in the room right now and breathing tge same air as my idol," Blitzø says and pushes Moxxie to the floor. "Have you guys forgotten what service we provide?"

Blitzø pulls a T.V. remote from no where and uses it to turn on a T.V. behind him, showing him and the other IMPs killing people.

"Aaah~ Those were the good times," Blitzø said, eating from a box of popcorn.

"The fuck?" James questions, looking at Blitzø with concern.

"I don't need any reminding, sir, considering you blew most of our salaries on an obnoxious TV ad last week," Moxxie tells his boss. "One that you then additionally paid to have run for a full three hours on a channel nobody watches."

"No one watches it?" James questions. "Then why was it playing on that T.V. that made me learn about you guys? Also, it wasn't obnoxious. I actually quite liked it."

"See, Moxxie? Even the Ghost Rider, probably the most fearsome being in the universe, likes our little jingle!" Blitzø says, swelling with pride. "Are actually trying to make me feel bad about my pursuit for musical theatre, just like my dad?"

"Sir-" Moxxie starts to say, but gets cutoff.

"Cause right now, all I see is just my dad's asshole talking to me!" Blitzø continues, guilt tripping the small Imp. "Crushing my dreams of being who I truly am inside."

"Damn, that is just cruel," James says, playing along with Blitzø's little plan.

"I thought I knew you," Millie tells her husband, getting right in his face.

"I can't believe you, Moxxie after I made you Employee of the Month," Blitzø says, holding up a framed picture of Moxxie which did NOT help show his looks.

"Okay, sir! I'm sorry, a commercial jingle is not comparable to musical theatre," Moxxie says. "Nobody actually likes the jingles."

"Didn't I literally just say that I liked the jingle?" James questions.

"I liked it," Millie said.

"Don't... don't agree with him in front of me," Moxxie tells his wife, pointing at her.

We're the Immediate Murder Profession-

BAM!

Moxxie is seen accidently shooting a passing child who was eating ice cream. He falls to the ground and the IMPs look in shock.

Then the scene changes to show a male doctor and two nurses pushing the same boy in a gurney through the hospital. He gets put in a hospital room and the three try to figure out how to keep him alive.

"Doctor, he's not responding!" one of the nurses say in a masculine voice.

"Cool water, stat!" the doctor says and the other nurse throws a bucket of water at the unconscious boy which only bounces off his head.

"Doctor, it was ineffective!" the same nurse declares.

"Damn it! I'm not losing another one!" the doctor exclaims, him and the nurses with him pulling out defibrillators. "CLEAR!"

The three slam their defibrillators on to the boy and he gets electrocuted, his heart jump-starting and he gasps for breath.

"Holy shit it actually worked..." the doctor says in misbelief.

The IMPs are seen waiting outside the boy's hospital room, Blitzø reading a magazine while Millie cimforts a devastated looking Moxxie. Then the doctor from earlier comes out to greet them, a clipboard in hand.

"He appears to be in stable condition, but he'll need surgery," he says. "Now what insurance provider do you freaks have?"

"The fuck is insurance?" Blitzø asks, causing him, Millie, Moxxie, and the boy to be flung out the window.

Kids die for freeeeeeee~!

The IMPs and James are seen in real time, the human looking at the T.V. screen in shock and then snaps his head to the same child who was on a life-support machine in the room.

"Huh..."

"I'd like to go on record and say that incident was Loona's fault," Moxxie says. "Dispatch is supposed to give us the right info on the target. It's very simple."

"Oh, sit on a dick, Moxxie," Loona tells the small Imp.

"You sit! Sit on... a-- and the d-- do your job!" Moxxie says, clearly not good at comebacks.

"Technically, it would be everyone's fault since you all should've confirmed the target, not just her," James says, motioning to Loona who isn't really paying attention. "Ya bunch de leathcheann..."

"See! Even James gets that we don't put our blame on Loonie," Blitzø says, hugging Loona who started to growl. "She didn't do anything wrong."

"Are you kidding me, sir?" Moxxie questions. "She's awful!"

[Flashback One]

Loona is seen sitting behind her desk, reading a magazine called "Hellhound Monthly", when the phone on her desk rings. She picks it up.

"Hello?"

"Loona, I got stabbed! Call Mox--" Millie says through the phone, only for Loona to hang up, uninterested.

[Flashback Two]

Loona is seen in Blitzø's office and said Imp walks up to her, a gift in hand.

"Happy Adoption Anniversary, Loonie!" Blitzø says, showing the Hellhound the gift. "I got you a little somethin'."

"Is it a cure for syphilis?" Loona asks.

"I... oh..."

"THEN I DON'T WANT IT!!" Loona shouts, taking the gift drom her adoptive father and smashing it into the ground, spiders coming from it and swarming her. "Ugh!"

"I'm sorry!" Blitzø says, hiding outside his office window. "I got you spiders!"

"God dammit," Loona says.

[Flashback Three]

Loona is seen sitting behind her desk, watching a video of Charlie Magne singing "Inside of Every Demon Is a Rainbow". Then Moxxie approaches her, a paper for "Chub B Gone" in his hands.

"Um, excuse me, did you just fax me an ad for weight loss?" he asks the Hellhound.

"No," she says.

"Then who would send me an ad for weight loss?" Moxxie asks.

"Come on," Loona says. "You know why."

[Flashback Four]

Loona is seen rummaging through the fridge in the breakroom, clearly upset by something.

"Whoever left the fucking avocado salad in the fridge, I'm taking it, because I have the worst hangover right now," Loona says, taking out a red container from the fridge and closing it with her foot.

She opens the container and starts consuming the salad.

"Why would you drink on a work night?" Millie asks.

"I'm hungover from this morning, dumbass!" Loona declares.

"Isn't that mine?" Moxxie asks, entering the room.

"You know what? I can't take this assault right now! I need to blow off some FUCKING STEAM!" Loona says, punting the container in Moxxie's face and running off.

She then is seen running out of the IMP building, screaming her head off as she charges at a baby stroller and kicks it into the air, storming off as she leaves the mother in disbelief.

[Flashback Five]

Loona is seen behind her desk once again, holding the phone away from her ear.

"Blitzø, that clingy rich asshole is on the phone! Says it's urgent and wants to talk to you!" she calls out. "Sounds a little DTF-y."

"Oh, God, it was one time!" Blitzø declares, throwing the cup of water in his hands to the ground and crosses his arms. "If I hadn't slept with that privileged asshole, none of us would have access to the living world."

"... you what?" Moxxie questions.

[End of Flashbacks]

"Hold on," James says. "You slept with a GUY to gain access to Earth?"

"Yes, and I regret every second of it," Blitzø says. "He doesn't though for some reason. Horny bastard..."

"Aight, I'm just gonna have to bleach my brain when I get back to the hotel," James mutters to himself and Blitzø continues.

"Look, the point is Loona's a valued member of our family, and you don't get rid of family," Blitzø says and Loona smiles.

We aren't a family, sir! You are the boss! We are the employees!" Moxxie says, Loona slowly raising a middle finger at him as he speaks. "You treat her like she's some troubled teenager! She's more like a meth-addicted homeless woman you let man the phones!"

"That is offensive! Without homeless people, I wouldn't have half the joy and laughter I do in this life!" Blitzø says, looking out a window to see a homeless demon and smugly waves at him as he closes the blinds.

"While we're on the subject of "family", can you stop finding me and Millie outside of work?" Moxxie asks his boss.

"Come on, Sweetie, it isn't that bad," Millie says.

"Excuse me... WHAT?!"

[Another Flashback One]

Moxxie is seen making dinner at his and Millie's home.

"Can you get the butter, dear?" Moxxie asks Millie.

Millie goes to the fridge and opens it to reveal that Blitzø was in it.

"Spoiler alert! The butter's spoiled!" the Imp says, making Millie giggle.

"What's so funny, Honey?" Moxxie asks his wife.

"Nice word play there, Moxxie," Blitzø says.

"WHY ARE YOU IN OUR FRIDGE?!"

[Another Flashback Two]

Millie and Moxxie are seen sleeping, and Moxxie opens his eyes to see Blitzø standing on top of him.

"What'cha dreaming 'bout?"

"I was dreaming about my dad dying, but now, I'd like to go back to that," Moxxie says.

[Another Flashback Three]

[End of Flashbacks]

"Just. Stop. Doing. That!" Moxxie orders his boss.

"What? Something you don't want me seeing?" Blitzø asks.

"No."

"You baby-weiner-haver?" Blitzø asks and Loona snickers.

"Sir, what you say and how you act is totally inappropriate!" Moxxie declares, standing from hus chair.

"Ease up, Moxxie," James says, joining in on teasing the Imp. "It's okay to have a small penis. It's nothing to be ashamed of."

"EXCUSE ME?!" Moxxie questions angrily and Loona literally starts dying from laughter.

"Calm down, Moxxie!" Millie tells her husband. "You're gonna have another panic attack!"

"I AM CALM!" Moxxie declares as he whimpers and Millie goes to comfort him.

"Look, I don't judge the boring couple stuff you do outside work hours, so don't judge me!" Blitzø says, making hand motions for sexual activity.

"Oh, I do judge you, sir! Quite a lot actually!" Moxxie states.

"Mox, he's our boss!" Millie says.

"No no no, it's fine Mills, your husband is just... how do I say this without being offensive?... retarded," Blitzø says.

"Does immaturely insulting me make you feel better about your sad, single life?" Moxxie asks his boss.

"It actually does," the head of IMP says, leaning close to Moxxie.

"The only reason you have a wife is because you're easy to manage!" Loona says, looking away from her phone.

"No he ain't, you bitch!" Millie says, giving Loona middle fingers and said Hellhound growls at the Imp.

"Do not talk to my receptionist that way! She's sensitive!" Blitzø orders Millie.

"YES I AM!" Loona shouts, snapping her jaw at Millie.

"Oh my god, y'all are so dysfunctional," James says.

"Shut it, James!" Moxxie demands.

"I agree with my fellow human," a young voice says. "You guys all are fucking assholes."

Everyone in the room turn their heads to the origin of the voice to see the same child that Moxxie shot.

"Oh shut up, kid. You're lucky to witness this," Blitzø tells the child.

"Ugh, this company is such a mess!" Moxxie states.

"Alright, let's get back to talking about my suit!" Blitzø says.

"No one was talking about your suit, sir," Moxxie says.

"Which is why I'm trying to get the ball rolling," Blitzø says. "Now tell me, how does it look?"

"I think you look nice," James says, making Blitzø swell with even more pride.

He's never gonna the suit off ever again.

"It's been a literal Hell having to pretend to be paralyzed, so you fuckshits wouldn't kill me! But now, I want that. I want death!" the kid says, ripping off the life support stuff off him and pointing at Blitzø. "You are a selfish, greedy clown. And I'm a kid. We're suppose to like clowns, even the creepy ones!"

"Hey now, that's not very--" Moxxie starts to say but is cut off by the boy.

"If I wanted to hear from a spineless jackass, I'd rip out your spine and ask you some shit!"

"That's my husband you're taking to!" Millie says.

"That's your husband?!" the boy laughs. "I figured you for a slut, but I didn't know you needed dick that bad!"

"I suggest you quiet down, kiddo," James says, his eyes flashing a fiery amber color, but only for a split second.

"Or what?" the child asks. "You ain't my dad, so I don't have to listen to a goddamn thing you have to say!"

"Huh, seems you've never been disciplined before," James says, the lights shutting off for a moment and then turning back on, showing that James has suddenly appeared in front of the child, his eyes glowing dangerously. "How about I change that?"

James then picked up the young boy and bent him over on the metal cart he was on, raising his hand into the air. He then started to lay waste to the small child's butt, spanking him like an old school parent would to their child, only James made it feel worse. Much worse. The child yelps in pain as the IMPs all watch in a mixture of shock, horror, and gratitude as James disciplines the boy.

Once he was done, he lifted the boy by the back of his pants and brought him to eye level.

"So, what do you have to say for yourself?" James asks.

"I-I-I'll be good..." the child says. "I'll be a g-good boy."

"Good," James says and opens a portal to Earth beneath the child. "Now go home."

The Rider drops his fellow human being through the portal and he screams in fright, dropping down on his mother who was on the news asking for people to help look for her son.

"You're welcome!" James says to the woman and closes the portal, walking away.

He turns back to the IMPs and they all have shocked faces.

"What?" the human questions. "I'm old school. And when I have kids of my own, I'm gonna spank them too."

"Oookaaaaaaaay," Blitzø says. "So, what do you think? You sure you wanna join?"

"What do I think?" James questions. "Well, you all are like a dysfunctional family. You're idiots, act like you wanna chew each other's throats out, and are immature and don't respect personal space."

As James speaks, everyone, especially Blitzø, seemed to deflate in pride and feel bad. But then...

"Y'all are perfect and I wouldn't work with anyone else," the Rider says, smiling which makes Blitzø burst with joy.

"Awesome!" Blitzø exclaims. "Is it okay if you start next week?"

"Perfectly fine," James says. "Can't wait to start working with y'all."
