HELLBØUND - Seeing Stars // S2 Episode 2

The scene opens with a shot of a galaxy, with Stolas narrating over it.

Stolas: In the great expanse of the nether there exists boundless amounts of magnificent phenomenon the great brilliance of an exploding star, the nimble dance of space dust through a nebula but once every one thousand years our corner of reality is treated to an incredible sight from the deep eldritch recesses of the cosmos the tears of a forgotten colossus begin to fall. Tears made of the hopes and dreams of every living thing that never came to be. Condensed and sent shooting across the night sky in a dazzling final display. What appears to mortal beings as a meteor shower we can see for what it is. Azathoth's Tears.

Octavia (Young): *giggles* Daddy, can we go see it someday?

Stolas: Yes, dear. I promise, when the day comes nothing will be able to keep me from being there with you. Good night, my Owlette.

Octavia (Young): *yawns* Good night!

She turns and wiggles and giggles in her bed.

HELLBØUND - Seeing Stars // S2 Episode 2

Back to present day to Octavia, still looking happy. She's circling a drawing on a calendar of her face, Stolas' face, and a meteor shower. The starfall is "today". She hops down a hallway putting on her boot.

Octavia: Hey, dad!

She looks in her kitchen and around the manor, but he isn't there.

Octavia: Dad? Dad?

She sees an open foyer door, we hear Stolas' voice coming through it.

Stolas: Yes, I know!

The scene jumps to Stolas out front on the phone with Stella, squeezing a servant in his other hand. Imps are loading items into a van.

Stolas: It will be there, shortly... Of course they're being careful!

Octavia: Dad, what's going on?

Stolas: Apparently, your mother can't exist somewhere for two minutes without the entirety of her possessions-

Stella is yelling something incomprehensibly in response through the phone as he speaks.

Stolas: What? No! I'm not turning her against you- Yes, Stella!

Stella: *through the phone* -never have to see your fucking face again!

Octavia: Dad?

Stella: *through the phone* Everyone-

She continues to yell incomprehensibly.

Octavia: This is going to be done before tonight, right?

Stolas: What? Oh. I hardly think so. Knowing your mother, this will take all weekend. *turns to the imps loading the car* Don't be gentle about it, now! Break whatever you have to to get it all in there.

Stella: *through the phone* What?! What did you just tell them to do?!

Octavia: But, tonight was supposed to-

Stolas: Darling, can we not talk about this now? Your mother's being a real B-I-T-C-H.

Stella: *through the phone* The fuck do you mean-

More incomprehensible yelling is heard from Stella's end.

Stolas: Well, how was I supposed to know you can spell?! I've never seen you read!

Stella: *through the phone* I'm going to take everything! Everything you own!

Out of frustration, Octavia slams the door and yells she rips up the calendar page, angrily topples her telescope over, and grabs a bag with her things and leaves the mansion. The scene zooms in on her circled date and then cuts to another calendar with a circled date of the 20th with the words "Have The Talk" in the background you can see the words "Have the talk" scribbled out on the 11th, 12th, 15th, 18th, and 19th. The 13th has a drawing of a horse and is labeled "Riding Lessons" and the 14th has a drawing of the moon, a squirting dick, and is labeled as "Stolas??". There's a sound of crashing and the calendar zooms out, showing that it is Verosika-themed, with a post-it note of a drawing of Blitzø's face slapped over hers. It zooms further out as knives fly past the screen and Blitzo looking nervous.

Blitzø: Loona, honey, wait just a- shit!

He runs backwards as Loona runs forwards looking angry.

Blitzø: Loonie, please, can we talk-

The office's empty water dispenser is thrown his way and hits him in the face.

Blitzø: FUCK! Uh, I mean, wow! Good throw, honey! I-I'm so proud of you!

Loona pounces and tackles him. Loona grabs a picture off the wall and begins beating Blitzø with it while Millie walks past to the couch where Moxxie is sitting. She joins him on it and they drink coffee together from their matching mugs. A little while, Y/N entered the office.

Y/N: Hey, Blitzø, is everything o- WHOA!!!

He swiftly dodged a photograph as it crashed into the wall.

Y/N: What in the fuck...?

He watched as Loona was still trying to chase after Blitzø in anger while he approached Moxxie and Millie, concerned.

Y/N: What's this all about?

Moxxie: Ah, oh! Blitzø finally talked to her about her attitude with clients.

Y/N: Huh?

Blitzø grabs the couch they're sitting on and pulls it forwards, jumping and hiding behind it.

Loona: *growls*

Blitzø: I just think some small tweaks might help you be more of a uh, people person, you know?

Loona: I am a people person! How did you think I was able to have Y/N as my boyfriend?!

Blitzø: He doesn't count! Whoa!

She reaches forwards, grabs Blitzø by the collar and pulls him close.

Loona: If I'm so terrible, how about you just grow a pair and replace me?

Y/N: **eyes widen & gasps*

Blitzø: Okay, well, maybe I- Maybe I might.

Loona: What?

Blitzø looks back at Moxxie who gives him a thumbs up, but Y/N shook his head no, turns back to Loona.

Blitzø: Maybe I will, little missy! Yeah, that's right it's tough love time. So, now you can... go... to your desk!

Loona growls and drops him before heading back to her desk.

Y/N: *smacks Blitzø's head*

Blitzø: Ow! Can you all stop assaulting me, today?!

Y/N: Blitzø, why the fuck would you say that to her?!

Octavia opens the door and wraps her hair around her neck like a scarf disguise. No one notices her entering.

Moxxie: Sir, if I may say so. You're doing the right thing. If we can't even hire a cheerful qualified receptionist, how can people trust us to massacre and mutilate their enemies for them? It's good for business.

Y/N glares at Moxxie and snarls angrily at him.

Moxxie: Oh, shit.

Y/N (Demon): Is that all you fucking care about, you fucking asshole?! All you fucking talk about is how Loona is not doing a good fucking job as a "qualified receptionist" and you always complain about Loona! Well, I'm getting fucking sick of hearing you complain about MY girl! Loona is more qualified than anyone could ever hope to be and if you ever, EVER, say otherwise, I'll show what it's like to be criticized!

Blitzø: Hey, she's my girl!

Y/N (Demon): You don't fucking deserve to have her as your girl after you threatened to unadopt Loona!

He then grabbed them by their necks and slammed them against the wall. Millie got worried, but Loona watched as he was choking Blitzø and Moxxie.

Loona: *smiles, thinking* ... Thanks, N/N.

Y/N (Demon): Had enough?

Blitzø and Moxxie quickly nodded.

Y/N (Demon): Never hurt my girlfriend ever again or I'll rip your dicks from your bodies and make sure you never fuck your loved ones, again! Loona's not the kind of person that deserves this way of life! She deserves a much better life and if you can't do that, then you're a pathetic excuse of a father and you're a sorry accident that doesn't deserve to be in this world! Never, ever, ever, EVER, hurt my girl! You hear me?!

They both nodded quickly.

Y/N: Good.

He then releases them and flips them off before walking to Loona.

Y/N: Loona, you okay?

Loona: ...

Y/N: Loona, I-I'm sure Blitzø didn't mean to say those things. You know that, don't you?

Loona: ... *sighs*

Y/N: Loo...

Loona: Just...! ... *sighs* I'm sorry, N/N. It's not you.

Y/N: I know. Blitzø is just being an asshole, again. ... You wanna cuddle?

Loona: ... *nods* Yes. I would like that. And another thing... Can you... do that thing people do to their pets?

Y/N: Oh... Y-Yeah, sure.

Loona stood up and Y/N sat down while Loona sat on his lap and hugged him. Y/N hugged her back while he was gently scratching Loona's ear from behind. Loona moaned in pleasure and her tail wagged happily as she panted like a canine and her tail was wagging.

Y/N: You're a good girl, Loonie. There's nothing wrong with you. You're perfect the way you are. Don't let what happened between you and Blitzø affect you.

Loona: *hums in pleasure & happiness* I won't. Thank you, honey.

Y/N: No problem.

Y/N smiled as he kept giving Loona attention. Octavia halts before Loona spots her sneaking in, but she doesn't react to her. Octavia makes it into Blitzø's office and starts rummaging around in his desk to no avail. She turns behind her to a framed portrait of IMP all together and moves it to reveal a wall safe covered in spider webs and labeled "Blitzø's stuf Do Nut Steel!!" with a drawing of two horses. She enters a code of 1-2-3-4 and the safe opens. She grabs her father's grimoire out of the safe and flips through the pages.

Octavia: Take me to see the stars.

A pentagram swirls around her and black swirls of power stream towards the ceiling. The light show coming from his boss' office catches Moxxie's attention.

Moxxie: Um, sir?

Blitzo: *cucumber slices fall off his eyes* The fuck?

I.M.P squeezes through the door as one weapons drawn, just in time to see Octavia disappearing through the portal.

Blitzø: *raises voice* ... Loona!

Loona: Oh, yeah. You have a visitor.

Y/N: It's called karma, Blitzø! And she's a bitch!

Octavia slowly blinks her eyes open.

Octavia: Where am I?

The scene opens on a blank Hollywood star as a hobo offscreen vomits onto it, causing Octavia slides backwards and yelps. The dead body of Brennon Ragers with an eyeball coming out of his head lies underneath Octavia, who accidentally crushed him after falling on him from the portal. The grimoire sits next to him. Octavia looks up and the portal closes. She then runs off with the grimoire.

Octavia: Woah!

Clown: This is my territory, bitch! Take your shitty costume and get the fuck off my corner! *pushes Octavia*

Octavia grabs her things and runs across a cross walk while cars swerve and almost hit her. She runs into a protest mob. They're holding signs that say, "demons walk among us", "God hates you personally", and "<-- To Hell". She dodges away from them and almost into a gleaming golden statue of a man smiling with his hand out. Octavia falls to the ground as two ladies see her and look shocked. Octavia looks frightened as she grabs the grimoire and scrambles into an alley way. She sits with her knees to her chest breathing heavily like a panic attack. The scene cuts to Blitzø also panicking.

Blitzø: Shit, shit, shit, shit! *grabs Moxxie* What the fuck am I supposed to tell Stolas?!

Moxxie: Well, he seems to like you, sir. Maybe he would understand if- *gets shoved away by Blitzø*

Blitzø: Okay, my dick is good, but it is not that good, Moxxie.

Moxxie: Sir, I don't think we really have a choice.

Blitzø: So, what? You just want me to call him up and be like, "Hey, Stolas"-

Jump cut to Blitzø actually on the phone.

Blitzo: So, your daughter came by, took your book, and teleported off to who the fuck knows where, and we have no way of getting either of them back, okay?! Okay! Good talk, bye!

He looks progressively more worried as he speaks and quickly puts the phone down when he's done, backing away slightly.

Blitzø: Oh, that actually went better than I thought.

The door blows up and Stolas stands inside in his full demon form.

Stolas: *demonically* BLITZO!

Cut back to Octavia exploring. She is trying to talk to people on the street, who are ignoring her.

Octavia: Hey, do y- Can you help- h-how do I get ah- I- excuse me, I just need to know where I can... *sighs* see the stars. *groans & rubs at her eye, pulling her beanie over her face*

A pamphlet flies into Octavia's face it says "bus tours" on the back and on the inside center panel "Star Struck Tourz" and in the bottom left hand corner "Stalk your fave celeb!"

Octavia: *crumples the flyer close in a hug* Yes!

She accidentally bumps into someone.

Octavia: Oof! Sorry, I-

She looks up to see BF/N under his cloak.

Octavia: *blushes* B-BF/N?!

BF/N: Octavia. What are you doing here? And... Without a disguise?

Octavia: I-I... Umm... W-Well... I... *sighs* I'm here to see the stars.

BF/N: The stars? That's it?

Octavia: Yeah.

BF/N: ... Well, I know a good place to see them, so follow me.

Octavia: Really? You'll help me? I don't wanna be a bother.

BF/N: Nah. I'm not busy with anything.

Octavia: *smiles* Thanks.

She expands it back out and runs to hop a seat on the Starstruck Tourz bus. Meanwhile, Stolas paces in front of Moxxie, Millie, and Blitzø while Y/N was still comforting Loona.

Stolas: How could this happen?! Do you just let anyone waltz into your office and grab infinitely powerful artifacts?! *clutches at his hat worriedly* Why would she do this? How are we supposed to find her? Where would she go?

Loona sniffs the air.

Loona: Well, it reeks of urine and desperation so... *sniffs again* Ugh... L.A.

Everyone goes from worried to turning and looking at Loona surprised, except Y/N.

Loona: What?

Y/N: Wait, Los Angeles? Oh no.

Loona: What's wrong, babe?

Y/N: Loona, that place maybe called a "City of Angels", but it is far from that! There are things there that won't be tolerant. We'll have to be careful and do not get pulled into anything that looks cool or fascinating. That place is like a deathtrap or a minefield. Be on your guard, guys.

Moxxie: ... And how do you know that?

Y/N glares at Moxxie and slaps his face.

Moxxie: Ow!

Y/N: You, fatty, are not allowed to talk for the rest of the day!

Moxxie: But, I-

Y/N: Shut up!

Moxxie kept trying to talk, but Y/N keeps interrupting him, which made Loona laugh. Cut to Loona being shoved through a portal that the rest of IMP and Stolas walks through.

Blitzø: Alright, Loona, let's make this quick. In and out before anyone notices us here.

Sounds of gunfire and screaming as Blitzø looks around the alley way that they've portaled into.

Y/N: *sighs* Typical... Why am I not surprised?

Blitzø: Oh. This doesn't look much different from Hell. *brushes off his front* Alright, now let's get to work. Loonie, sniff!

Loona: *removes empty can from hair* How am I supposed to smell anything in this city?

Moxxie: Can't you even do one thing right?

Loona: *smugly* Can't you finally do something about how fat you are?

Moxxie: I'm not- Ow!

Y/N kicked Moxxie in the back to the ground.

Y/N: Moxxie... Four things, okay? Shut! The! Fuck! Up!

Loona: Thank you, N/N.

Y/N: Anything for you, baby.

He kisses her cheek and she smiled before fully kissing him.

Blitzø: *also smugly* You know, it wouldn't kill you to put a salad in your body every now and then.

Moxxie: What? But, I'm not fat!

Blitzø jumps up on a dumpster and tapes a picture to the open lid. It has drawings of IMP with Loona in her human disguise plus Stolas and a fake mustache.

Blitzø: Now, first things first we're gonna do this the old-fashioned way *points at his drawing* We're gonna need disguises.

Loona and Stolas get a double Sailor Moon-esque transformation sequence into human disguises.

Millie claps in amazement while Moxxie look unimpressed. Blitzø eyes widen and blushes seeing Stolas's human disguise.

Y/N: I'll never get tired of you doing that.

Loona: *eye roll, blushes* Heh.

Blitzø: No chance you can conjure us a couple of those, can ya?

Stolas: Sadly, no. I'm afraid without my grimoire, my powers are just a tad limited in the human world.

Blitzø: What, you can't memorize your fucking spells?

Stolas: *annoyed* Oh, your memory's so great? *gestures to Moxxie* What's his phone number?

Blitzø: *defeatedly* Fuck you.

Stolas: *smugly* Exactly.

Y/N: *laughs* He's got you there, Blitzø. Alright, guys. Let's go find Via.

They walk out of the alleyway and Stolas grabs a pair of red-tinted sunglasses which he puts on his head where his second pair of eyes would be in his normal form. Moxxie runs face first into a human.

Music Dude: Hey, little man. How about you check out *pulls CD out of jacket* this demo right here? This is some premium Grade-A fire right here! Perfect for you to crank with the little lady.

He grabs Millie and pulls her close to her obvious displeasure.

Moxxie: Oh, wow! You made this? Thank you.

He and Millie walk away as the dude follows and stops them.

Music Dude: Oh, hey, hey, hey. Hold up a sec, you just gonna grab it and go?

Millie: *annoyed* He said "Thank you".

Music Dude: *puts a hand in her face* Twenty bucks, man.

Moxxie: *grabs Millie's face, desperately* Millie, we need money to pay this talented artist!

Millie watches as the rest of their group walks past the corner without them.

Millie: You can just give it back, Mox.

Moxxie gasps and grabs the sides of his face, he jumps behind a tree crouching and holding the CD close.

Moxxie: Millie! These artists put their heart and soul into their work! I can't just give it back like it's worthless!

He hisses and swipes at a squirrel that was sniffing at him while holding the CD close.

Millie: It probably is.

A woman walks past and flips a coin to Moxxie.

Woman: Sick demon costume, man!

Moxxie stares at the coin he's received.

Woman: It's metal as fuck!

Moxxie stands up and flips the coin before accidentally dropping it. He chases after it, collects it, and flips it again catching it correctly this time.

Moxxie: I have an ide- Oh, woah! Hey, hey, hey, hey, come back here! *grunt of effort* I have an idea!

The coin has an eagle in the center. On the top, it says USA on the bottom it says 2021. Meanwhile, with Octavia, the bus stops and she groans.

Tour Guide: And to your left, you'll see the home of one of those influencers who thinks they're hot shit cause now they do TV shows.

A woman and her kid hop into a limo while a man lays prostrated on the ground crying and begging, the limo drives away and he stands up and begins kissing the man standing nearby wearing a pink bathrobe. Octavia groans and turns away pulling her beanie down over her eyes. Scene cuts to a door opening at a store labeled "Little costume shop of horrors". A torso animatronic with an eye falling out cackles. Blitzø walks through the door dressed in a pink shirt, blue jeans, and wig. His horns have been covered with frankly gigantic ears. Stolas looks up at him as Blitzø gestures to himself.

Blitzø: So?

Y/N: Mm... I mean... You tried. *to Loona* Remind me to teach him how to turn into a human.

Loona: Let him do his thing, babe. I wanna see how this plays out.

A woman screams excitedly.

Woman #2: Look, everyone! It's Holly's Wood star, Brennon Ragers!

Blitzo: The fuck is a Brendon Rager- Oh.

He looks up and sees a billboard for "Sweetie! I'm In the House!! Guest Starring Brennon Ragers". The man on the poster is the one Octavia accidentally killed by landing on earlier.

Stolas & Y/N: *looking up at billboard, eyes widen* Oh, dear.

A crowd immediately mobs Blitzø, taking pictures and begging for things while Blitzø tries to escape.

Blitzø: *shouting* Millie, where are you and your whore bag husband?!

Cut to Millie and Moxxie singing "Til the Day We Die"; a couple and other passersby stand together witnessing the demon couple's performance, as the Music Dude who gave Moxxie the $20 CD looks miffed. One street performer takes off a mask resembling a dinosaur Elmo from Sesame Street.

Moxxie & Millie: You're my lovely little monster, and I'll never say goodbye. I will kill for you, until the day we die.

The crowd cheers throwing roses and money Moxxie's way while he bows. He points to the money earned to Millie looking excited. She looks less than impressed. He gives the money to the Music Dude.

Moxxie: And, here you are, my fellow Troubadour.

Music Dude: *snatches the mug full of coins, annoyed* Whatever, man. Get the fuck outta here, you're cramping my business.

Millie: Come on, babe! We have to catch up to Blitzo before-

She turns and runs face first into a mural.

Art Salesman: Ay, wanna buy some art?

Moxxie: *excitedly, picks up a flyer* Wha? YES!

The stall he is holding a picture that says "believe" on it. There are three key chains displayed: a palm tree head on a figure wearing a bikini, a wolf wearing boxers with hearts either over or as its nipples, and a Verosika Mayday in her human form holding a microphone, smiling and looks happy. Millie facepalms at Moxxie's response. Cut back to the piling crowd surrounding Blitzø.

Blitzø: *shouting* I'm taking this out of their pay! Y/N, a little help here?!

A truck is seen with agents jumping out to break the commotion. A man is seen blowing his whistle with a diploma in his hands, and Blitzø is finally let go. A producer approaches him.

Producer: *holding a bag of fruit snacks* Mr. Ragers, we've been looking for you everywhere. You were supposed to be on set an hour ago!

Blitzø: The fuck are you talking about?

Producer: Your guest spot on... *eats a fruit snack* "Sweetie! I'm in the House!!"

An ad pops up, resembling the same design of the billboard, and briefly disappears.

Producer: We're taping tonight. Now, hurry up and get in the car!

Blitzø: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no! I'm not going anywhere with you, jizz-biscuit! *flips him off*

Producer: Very funny, Mr. Ragers. Now, get in the car. *tries to lure him with a fruit snack* Come on, boy, come on.

Blitzø: Get your fucking hands off me!

Blitzø breaks free from the guard as briefly as he is caught again.

Blitzø: Loona! Stolas! A little help, here?!

Y/N: Sorry, Blitzø. You're on your own.

Blitzø: Oh, fuck you!

Blitzø's fake ears fall out, as a man who drops his baby catches the fake ears. This leads the crowd to have an altercation, fighting over the ears. Stolas tries to get through.

Stolas: E-Excuse me, sir. I'm... *fixes hair nervously* Mr. Ragers' agent and I don't believe you can just-

An agent behind Stolas cracks his neck, and grabs him from behind.

Stolas: Oh! You are strong!

Blitzø and Stolas are thrown in the back of the car. Blitzø growls his way back out, but the doors close before he can escape.

Stolas: Blitzø, we don't have time for this. Via could be anywhere. She could be in danger.

Blitzø: Don't worry, I'm on it.

Blitzø breaks the windows with his horns and spots Loona punching the people in the crowd.

Blitzø: Loonie, go with Y/N and find Via! We'll catch up soon!

Loona's flips him off.

Blitzø: *proudly* Yeah! Way to be a team player, sweetie! *turns to Stolas* She's in great hands.

Back with Octavia and BF/N at the bus, people were seen walking out of it. The camera pans up to an annoyed Octavia ripping the pamphlet in half. They proceed to walk away from the group, not noticing a crime scene, walking above a corpse. She then stops when she comes across a sign titled, "Star Owl: Souvenir Shop." She takes pictures of the sign, proceeds to walk but slowly stops when she takes a look at what's inside the shop itself, zooming into a box that says "Starstruck" on it. Cut to a building entitled "Starstruck Studios". One Agent has Stolas sling over his shoulder while other agents are seen carrying a resisting Blitzø, doing everything in his power to try and escape, but to no avail. With the paparazzi around him, he is then thrown to a chair in a makeup room.

Producer: Let's get him ready! He's on in five!

Blitzø: What? "Five" what? I-I can't be on a sitcom!

Blitzø is then smacked in the face with a powder pad, as the smoke transitions to backstage, with Stolas beside him holding water bottles.

Producer: Should've had an ego crisis before signing the contract.

Blitzø: I-I-I... Whoa- I don't even know the fucking lines, idiot!

Producer: Well, that's why God invented teleprompters!

The scene shifts to an actress smoking a cigarette, a child actress snorting cocaine, and a guy on a teleprompter that says "GOD KILL ME PLS", before breaking down and electrocuting the guy on top of it.

Stolas: Shouldn't he rehearse, or something?

Producer: No can do, we're live in 10, 9-

As the producer walks out the stage, Blitzø begins to hyperventilate.

Blitzø: Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit! I-I... I can't do this. No, not again. I-I haven't performed since-

Stolas: *approaches Blitzø* Blitzø, if your performance on stage is half as good as it is in bed, you'll leave them breathless.

Stolas strokes Blitzø's face as a nervous Blitzø gulps to the sound of that.

Stolas: Now, hurry up and wow them, so we can get back to finding Via.

Stolas pushes Blitzø onto the set where the lights have yet to be turned on.

Stolas: Break a leg, darling!

He quickly closes the door, and the lights go on faster than Blitzø can respond. He then looks towards the studio audience.

Producer: *off-screen* Action!

The scene zooms out to the studio audience observing, as theme music plays. Zooming back in towards an actor on the couch.

Male Actor: Well, if it isn't our neighbor, Ronnie. You feel that earthquake earlier?

Blitzø looks towards the stage crew looking just as distressed as he is.

Stolas: *whispering* Say something...

The teleprompter appears with Blitzø's lines, with the latter sweating profusely attempting to play along.

Blitzø: Oh, yea? Yeah. "That was just my wife rolling out of bed."

Stolas looks nervously to the audience, unresponsive at first, but laughing instantly. Blitzo then smiles to their reaction, not noticing the signs indicating people to laugh with a bit of static.

Blitzø: Yeah, yeah! *more enthusiastically* Yeah, and then that bitch hit her head on the way down and shattered her skull!

The signs do not change, as they still say "Laugh", but no one is laughing, except for Stolas, finding this humorous.

Blitzø: There's blood everywhere... pee in her pants...

Stolas continues to laugh in hoots, the audience looks up at the signs, which say, "Srsly, laugh anyway", and the audience proceeds to laugh to this as well. Blitzø, becoming less nervous, winks at Stolas, who blushes immensely and chugs a bottle of acid water. Meanwhile, Y/N and Loona were walking together as Loona was sipping coffee and opening up her phone to "Sinstagram".

Y/N: ... *looks at Loona & smiles*

Loona: *looks at Y/N* What?

Y/N: Y'know, Loona, human or hellhound, you're still as beautiful as you always were in my eyes.

Loona: *blushes* Th-Thanks.

Y/N: ... Hey, Loona. How about after we find Octavia, you and I can come back here and explore the human world, together? Just us and nobody else.

Loona: Really?

Y/N: Yeah. I can show you the wonders of the world. I mean, we have our magic and the grimoire, so... What do you say?

Loona: ... *smiles* I- Hm?

She then stops walking when she spots the Star Owl: Souvenir Shop sign on the wall. She admires this.

Loona: ... Hey, N/N, wanna take a quick picture, together?

Y/N: ... Umm... Sure. I mean, nobody's looking. ... I hope.

Soon, they both turned into demons and Loona takes a selfie with it to post on her Sinstagram while Y/N took the same picture on his phone before they turned back to humans. After posting the photo and scrolling down her feed, Loona notices a post from Octavia at the same location. Taken aback by this, she spits out her coffee and then looks at Octavia's profile with some of her recent posts being pictures she took throughout the city.

Y/N: What? What's wrong?

Loona: N/N, look!

Y/N took a look and was surprised. One post shows a castle she was nearby, with the caption reading "Found a cool looking castle, reminds me of home..." which was shown to have been posted two minutes ago when Loona first saw it.

Y/N: Wait, is that BF/N?

Loona: Come on!

As Y/N and Loona observes, that same castle from the post is right behind them. Looking at the castle and the coffee, she crushes the latter and runs towards the castle. The coffee spills and gets stepped on, as the scene transitions to the castle from the post. Y/N and Loona look around trying to find Octavia, but her phone goes off again, revealing another post from Octavia depicting where she is at, but no sign of her in real life. Another post where she's seen in front of the Holly's Wood sign, Y/N and Loona is right in front of it and when she believes she found Octavia, she mistakes her for a human that looks like her from behind. The montage continues as Y/N and Loona scroll through her phone to multiple places that Octavia has been in with the background changing to its exact location, but every attempt proves futile with Octavia nowhere to be found. Y/N and Loona sweat for a while, but still keeps searching. They approach the observatory in front of them.

Y/N: Hah... Hah... Hah... Phew. That girl's all over the place! You good, Loonie?

Loona: Yeah. Just keep looking.

Y/N: *nods*

The scene transitions to the same observatory seen in a newspaper from an audience member. Back at Starstruck Studios, the audience is seen looking either visibly bored, or mentally scarred. Stolas is also looking troubled.

Blitzø: Oh, Uggie! You've gone and done it again.

Cut to a pug who seems to have urinated on the set's couch.

Blitzø: *enthusiastically* That's the fifth couch this year!

The scene pans up to the screens, still advising the audience to laugh, who struggle to do so. One audience member laughs out of insanity, and then passes out while foaming at the mouth.

Blitzø: You know, maybe it's about time I found *boops Uggie on the nose* you a new home, one that could put up with your attitude.

As Blitzø takes out a leash, the other actors appear on set.

Child Actor: I could take him, Mr. Ronnie! I'd be happy to adopt old Uggie and give him the attention he needs!

As the family comes together, the spotlight centers only them, with cute animals surrounding them. The crowd responds with an "Awww",as Blitzø faces away from them.

Blitzø: Yeah... Yeah... M-Maybe you should adopt...

Looking at Uggie, the scene pans to a flashback from several years prior, Blitzø looking in a cell with a bunch of hounds, the one in the center resembling Uggie.

Blitzø: Aww, they're all so cute. And they're.... sad.

Blitzø is seen at a Hellhound adoption center.

Adoption Center Lady: Maybe you could adopt this one here. Quite a strong lad, he'll be perfect for whatever work you want to use him for.

Blitzø sets his sight on the dog he's recommended, but his look of excitement turns into disgust after seeing the hound's face.

Blitzø: Ugh! No, I'm not looking for no ugly wonker, heh. I need something that's more family-friendly,

Adoption Center Lady: *still deadpan* A gift for the wife, huh? No problem. We have a nice selection for other hounds.

As the two continue to walk, Blitzø stops for a moment at the cell in front of him.

Blitzø: *pointing* Who's that?

The scene pans to a angry teenage Loona texting on her phone with a younger vicious hound holding a bat full of bloody nails, wanting Loona's phone.

Adoption Center Lady: Oh, her? That's just Loona. What a nightmare.

The younger hound is thrown against the cell bars. Loona pants furiously then crawls back in her space.

Adoption Center Lady: *off-screen* Serious attitude problems.

Blitzø observes Loona as her angry faces turns slowly into sadness.

Adoption Center Lady: *off-screen* She'll be out of our hair next month when she ages out.

Loona scoots back over in her bench, holding herself and shedding tears.

Adoption Center Lady: Good riddance, if you ask me. She'll never amount to anything much.

The scenes flash between a sad Loona, and a sympathetic Blitzø, until flashing back to the present on set. Blitzø takes the pug to himself and hugs it close.

Blitzø: No. No, no, no, you can't have her! She's mine and I love her!

The signs that say "Laugh" change to "Awww?" as this moves the audience, but confuses Stolas.

Child Actor: But, Mr. Ronnie, you gotta let me have the puppy. You just gotta!

Blitzø hisses at her, preventing her from touching Uggie.

Blitzø: Don't you touch her, you little anal fissure!

The child actor steps away from the scene as the audience laughs, which offends Blitzø.

Blitzø: Oh, you think this is funny, assholes?!

Blitzø points to the child actor, who's trying to walk away from his outburst.

Blitzø: She's not fit to be a mother! I saw her doing lines of coke in her dressing room!

Seeing him break character, the producer sends his agents to try and deal with Blitzø.

Female Actor: Now, uh... Ronnie. I think maybe you should-

She tries to take Uggie from Blitzø, but he smacks her off of him, as well as the wig on her head.

Blitzø: No! You can't have my baby, bitch!

As the agents corner Blitzø, he pulls out his pistol against them, with the signs above exclaiming "Oh, shit!"

Blitzø: I'LL NEVER GET RID OF HER!

As more people pile on top of Blitzø, he shoots several of them in the head, but is still trapped within the crowd. Stolas tries to approach.

Stolas: I'm coming, Blitzø! *trips* Excuse me! Would you mind?!

As Stolas tries to move through the crowd to save Blitzø, he is pushed back. Fed up with this, he grabs his water bottle, and pathetically throws it across. It hits the producer, but as the acid water spills all over him, it burns his skin severely. This causes him to knock down the teleprompter, which then reads "Let it burn" in red, lighting the stage on fire, and puts the lights out for a moment. Stolas gets accidentally pushed back by the crowd, almost falling into one of the raging fires in the studio before Blitzø catches him by the arm.

Blitzø: *determined* Now, let's go find our daughters.

Blitzø still has his gun in hand, and his pink shirt is ripped in half. An explosion bursts behind him highlighting his toned figure as Stolas blushes in response once again, before being dragged to the exit. Cut to the scene, burning down as the scene pans up to the smoke coming from the fire. The smoke fades as the scene transitions and pans down to the observatory. Y/N and Loona is still seen looking around until she halts at a staircase seeing a crying Octavia and BF/N comforting her.

Loona: *whispers* Y/N, I found them!

Y/N looked to see BF/N and Octavia and nods at Loona as they approach her. She sees a blue hue next to her, which is seen by Loona reverting back into her normal form.

Loona: Hey.

Y/N: Figured we'd find you here.

Octavia wipes her tears.

BF/N: Oh, Y/N. Loona. Didn't think we'd see you two here.

Y/N: Likewise.

Octavia: Hey. How did you two find me?

Loona: Your Sinstagram. Nice pics by the way.

Loona pulls out her phone, showing pics that Octavia posted.

Octavia: Oh, thanks. *sniffles*

Loona: You okay?

Octavia: Can't believe I was so stupid. I spent all day looking for a place where I could see some dumb meteor shower. *crying* And all I get is... *gestures to the smoggy sky* this!

Loona: Yeah, smog's a bitch.

Y/N: ... Octavia... Why are you out here?

Octavia: Isn't it obvious, Y/N? I came to see the meteor shower. Originally, I was supposed to see it with Dad, but...

Y/N: *eyes widen in realization* ... Oh. I get it.

BF/N: Wait, what?

Octavia: I... I know I haven't been honest with you, BF/N, but if I did, you would've taken me back.

BF/N: *sputters* ... *sighs*

Y/N: Way to keep it subtle, dude.

BF/N: Hmph.

Loona attempts to light up a cigarette, but no flames comes out of her lighter. As she tries, Octavia snaps a flame for Loona's cigarette. Loona takes a smoke, as some of it gets in Octavia's face and she coughs, but Y/N wasn't affected by it.

Loona: You know, your dad's really worried about you.

She sits next to Octavia on the ledge and Y/N did the same.

Y/N: Yeah. He's been looking for you for a while.

Octavia: *scoffs* Right! That's why you're both here instead of him. He couldn't be bothered to keep his promise and now, he can't be bothered to come and get me himself. He'd rather spend his time just screaming at my mum. Why does he hate her more than he loves me? *sniffles*

A long silence between them until Loona extracts her cigarette and exhales. Y/N was about to say something to Octavia, but Loona beated him to it.

Loona: *sighs* Sometimes... Sometimes it's not as simple as that. This kind of shit gets messy, and everybody's got issues, especially dads. And sometimes they fuck up... Well, all the time. But, that doesn't mean they don't care.

Octavia: If he cares, where is he?

Y/N: *points* He's somewhere down there.

The scene pans to the city.

Octavia: He's here?

Loona: Looking for you. I mean... *smokes her cigarette once more* Try to cut your dad some slack.

Loona continues to light up her lighter, and a flame finally lights up.

Loona: He may not always get it right, but... he's trying.

She looks at the lighter and sees the sticker with the I.M.P logo on it and gives a smile as she look towards Octavia.

Loona: That's more important than you think.

Octavia looks at her by surprise while Y/N smiled at Loona's words and expression.

Y/N: She's right, Via.

Octavia: *turns to Y/N*

Y/N: Look, nobody's perfect. Me and Loona are eno exception. We may look like a good couple, but... Sometimes, we get into arguments, but that's because there are things we don't understand and... We have to try our best to explain the truth in our own way. But, for your mom and dad, Stella's a bitch. She doesn't understand the importance and value of what a family truly means. Stolas likes being with Blitzø because he makes him happy. Via, the marriage between them was set by your grandfather, Paimon.

Octavia: What?

Y/N: Stolas never wanted to marry Stella because she's not the kind of person that you'd find in a mother. Stella's... a bitch.

Octavia: So, what? I'm supposed to be glad that Dad's with another guy?

Y/N: Well, you love him, don't you? You want him to be happy, right?

Octavia: ...

Y/N: Via, this conversation isn't any different than the one we had in Loo Loo Land. I'm sorry if your parents aren't the kind you'd see in TV shows or movies or some shit like that, but Via, being perfect... pulls you away from everything. Like family and friends. Stella thinks she's the perfect princess so much, she never gives Stolas the attention he deserves. But, nonetheless... *smiles* Your father loves you with all of his heart. That's why he was able to hold on to his marriage for Stella. To make you happy. Being imperfect is a gift. A treasure. If all you want to do is try to be perfect, you'll miss out on what's important in your life. Like your dad. And BF/N.

Octavia: ...

Y/N: But, it was too much for your dad to handle, so... They're getting a divorce. But, that doesn't mean that you don't have to be with your parents, anymore. If anything, you'll be staying with Stolas. Your connection to Stolas isn't something that can be severed through words or anything else. Just like me and Loona.

Octavia: *turns to Loona*

Loona: *smiles* He's right, y'know.

BF/N: ... Since when did you two become therapists?

Y/N: *laughs*

Suddenly, they all notice a light shining on their faces, which is seen to be coming from the moon as the smog clears up. As the three stare at the moon, Y/N looks at Loona as her beauty was shining along with the moon's and he smiled, knowing that he has someone like Loona as his girlfriend. Loona turns off her lighter and throws away her cigarette. She stands up for a few stretches.

Loona: You two ready to go?

Y/N: *stands up* Yep. Via? BF/N?

BF/N: *stands up* Thanks, but I think I'll stick around for a while. Trust me. There's personal reasons.

Y/N: If you say so. But, if you ever come back, the door's always open.

BF/N: I'll keep that in mind.

Loona extends her hand to Octavia, but instead, she gives her the grimoire.

Octavia: Yeah.

Loona gives her hand to Octavia once more, but this time, she is greeted with a hug, which Loona returns the favor. Y/N and BF/N smiled as they watched them hug. The scene pans out as the two hold hands and Y/N walks up to them both and hugs them, which they return the favor. Meanwhile, at the Starstruck Studios building still burning, while police cars are heard, Blitzø and Stolas are seen walking away. Zooming up to Blitzø's phone on the maps app with a location titled "Not Topic."

Blitzø: Now, if we could just find where...

A red portal appears in front of them, where Loona exits.

Blitzø: Loona!

With her hand still in the portal, Loona removes herself from it with Octavia still holding her hand and Y/N steps out of it.

Blitzø: Oh, Loona, my sweet baby girl! I'm so sorry, I'll never replace you no matter what you-

Before he can finish his sentence, Loona furiously kicks him in the groin as he winces in pain.

Loona: You're good.

Y/N stared in shock.

Y/N: Geez, Loona! I get why you did that, but fucking seriously?!

Loona: Look, Y/N, I'm not the kind of gal that likes to feel touched by her parents. But, you? You're my boyfriend. And my future husband. I don't mind.

Y/N blushed at that.

Loona: *smiles* I love you, Y/N.

Y/N: *blushing* ... *smiles* I love you, too, Loona.

They both hug each other and kissed while Stolas painfully looks at Blitzø until he faces Octavia.

Octavia: Dad... I'm so sorry.

Stolas runs up to hug her, as he reverts back to his demon form.

Stolas: I'm just relieved you're okay! But, what would possess you to do such a thing? You know I haven't taught you spells like this yet.

Octavia: I just wanted to see the stars you promised.

Stolas: The stars? *gasps* Azathoth's tears! Oh, no. Oh, my dear sweet Via. I am so-

Octavia stops him as she hugs him.

Octavia: I know, dad. It's okay. You're here, now.

Stolas returns the hug to his daughter.

Stolas: BF/N?

BF/N: Hey, Stolas.

Stolas: Were you... with Octavia?

BF/N: Not at first, but she wanted to see the stars, so...

Stolas: *smiles* Thanks.

BF/N: No problem.

Y/N and Loona watches happily.

Y/N: ... *looks at Loona & smiles* Y'know, Loona, you told me that you weren't sure if you would be a good mother, yet after hearing you say those things to Octavia, how do you feel, now?

Loona: *blushes* ... *smiles* Honestly? *looks at Y/N* I think I'm confident that you and I will be great parents. And to answer your question from before, yes. I'd love to travel to the mortal realm and have you show the Earth in its glory.

Y/N: *smiles* Good to hear.

From behind, Blitzø was trying to hug Loona, but both Y/N and Loona respond with smacking him with smug faces. They then notice a faint glow in the sky. The scene pans out to show several fireworks exploding in the sky. Loona records this on her phone.

Loona: What the fuck is that?

Blitzø: My acting career.

Y/N: Whoa... *stares in awe* ... I've never seen the fireworks so up close before... They look so... beautiful... *looks at Loona & smiles* Just like you, Loona.

Loona: *smiles* Thanks, N/N. You always have a way with words.

Y/N: So do you.

As the fireworks take off, Stolas and Octavia look up in awe as Y/N wraps his arm around Loona's shoulder from behind and Loona did the same. Blitzø looked at them as they did and couldn't help but smile.

Octavia: *gasps happily* Look at that one! Did you see that one?

Blitzø: Now, where the fuck are M n' M?

Y/N: Oh, them? They should be long gone by now. I did try to warn them, but they don't listen. The fatty, mostly.

Loona: *laughs* Yeah.

Stolas: ... Hey, Y/N?

Y/N: Hm?

Stolas: I... I wanna say thank you. For all you've done. I'll be honest, ever since you lost it and became V/N, I was... hesitant to bring you along, but... Today and last year... You've really tried to rebuild your bonds with us. And for that... I'm sorry.

Y/N: Don't. Not for me, anyway. I just don't want there to be bad blood between all of us.

Stolas: *smiles*

Y/N: I'm just glad everyone's okay...

Meanwhile, Millie was seen on her phone, texting Blitzø. Around the alley that she came from, the portal back to I.M.P Headquarters appears in front of her. Moxxie is then seen carrying a heavy bag full of art paraphernalia.

Moxxie: Art is heavy!

Millie enters the portal, and before Moxxie can enter, he is stopped by another music salesman wanting to sell his CD's. Moxxie approaches to pay him for the demo, but Millie throws a knife and kills the salesman before Moxxie can pay him, then grabs the demo and throws it into the street.

Millie: March, mister!

Moxxie sadly walks to the portal, but for a short while after, Millie carries him effortlessly into the portal, leaving the trophy bag behind. After picking up Moxxie and Millie, Y/N and Loona were now seen on the couch, together.

Y/N: ... Hey, Loona.

Loona: Yeah?

Y/N: You do realize that if Blitzø and Stolas get married, that would make Octavia your little sister, right?

Loona: ... Huh. I never thought about that...

Y/N: ...

Loona: *smiles* Then again, I always wanted a sister.

Y/N: Well, as long as Blitzø and Stolas can work things out and get married, that will happen.

Loona: *smiling, starts crying happily* ... Y/N... I'm so glad that you're here with me. I love you to Hell and back.

Y/N: *smiles* I love you to Hell and back, too, Loona.

They both hugged as Loona lets loose her tears and cried happily in Y/N's arms. After a while, Y/N was seen on the roof of the Happy Hotel.

Y/N: 🎵I've been wandering in my mind lately
I've been looking for a place to rest my head
For the road that lies ahead🎵

Images of his friends and family came into view.

Y/N: 🎵Always fighting for the ones beside me
You can try it, but our hearts are far from dead🎵

He looks up at the sky.

Y/N: 🎵You will believe it🎵

He summons F/C magic and surrounds it around him as he viewed flashbacks of his past with Charlie and the others.

Y/N: 🎵I look at fear in the eye, yes, we've met before
Stirring every lie, someone's at the door
You keep walking the line, eyes stuck to the floor
Nothing wrong in my mind, I've always wanted more🎵

More flashbacks kicked to before Y/N went to Hell.

Y/N: 🎵I've been walking on coals hot for my whole life
I've gotten battered and bruised just to get it right
Climbing every hill top, through pain and strife
But when my summit is reached, I'll be out of sight🎵

Through each flashback, Y/N is seen struggling with so much as fought to survive. One showed Y/N on a swing set, watching everyone gather together, feeling left out. He looks down, but gains a determined look as he reveals his encounters after he arrived in Hell.

Y/N: 🎵And I'll keep holding on, holding on
Building the life that I've been dreaming of
Holding on, carry my heart to the end
And they'll see who was wrong, who was wrong
When I have reached the heights I'm scaling
I'll rise above, stowing the fire within🎵

He then looked up at the sky to see images of his past enemies Pentious, Striker, Stella, Alastor, and a pair of glowing yellow eyes smiling down at him. He clenched his fists and closed his eyes.

Y/N: 🎵I saw the sign I was waiting for
Your peace, your tribe asking for a war🎵

Lute and her Exorcists came into view.

Y/N: 🎵Stay imprisoned by short sighted vision
Your heartless disposition's been walking you for far too long
When you listen, you look for acquisitions
No care for inhibitions, the difference between right and wrong🎵

He held his hand up high and smirked as he closed his fist.

Y/N: 🎵No apologies given, I'm gonna send 'em high
How your stories are driven, no more than empty lies
Flowing poison has risen above your rising tides
You could never see further than what's inside your eyes
And I'll keep holding on, holding on
Building the life that I've been dreaming of
Holding on, carry my heart to the end
And they'll see who was wrong, who was wrong
When I have reached the heights I'm scaling
I'll rise above, stowing the fire within🎵

Silhouettes of the Seven Deadly Sins came into view as Y/N continued singing and soon, he lit a F/C fire in his palm and looked into it.

Y/N: 🎵Stowing the fire within
Stowing the fire within
Stowing the fire within
Stowing the fire within🎵

He looked behind him to see a tall shadow look over him with four glowing yellow eyes and he gets a determined expression as he closed his hand, quelling the F/C ember.
