Here's the next part of this Episode Chapter! Thanks to ECHO-173 for help editing.

The scene opens with the Harvest Festival. Wally Wackford stands on stage with a microphone and speaks dramatically, so talking as he normally does. Linc and I.M.P. were with Millie's family watching the opening celebration.

Wally Wackford: Welcome, I say-a, welcome-a... all to Wrath-a Ring's-a annual-a Harvest-a Moon-a... a-Festival! We hope you-a all love it! So remember, if-a don't feel the pain, you're-a not playing-a right-a!

Linc: Does anyone else notice that he adds "A" at the end of most of his words?

Wally Wackford: To kick things up, we have the great prince Stolas-a, here to usher in this here Pain Games!

Stolas takes the microphone from Wally Wackford.

Stolas: (chuckles) How kind, Wackford. Greetings, tiny... Wrath Ring Imps! I hereby welcome you all to another year of celebrating the spoils of your labor that continue to feed the citizens of Hell!

A crowd of Imps glares at him and boos are heard.

Stolas: I'm happy to kick off the start of these games that will challenge the toughest Imps to show their skill in dominance. Good luck to you all! Especially that sexy little one there... Yoo-hoo! Blitzy!

Stolas waves at him while Blitzo glares.

Blitzo: Ugh. Fuck me.

Wally Wackford: I guess the prince has favorites. Now-a remember people, Millie is back in town but she is still banned-a from playing-a!

Millie: Which is still bullshit! Totally unfair, I only caused nine of the funerals.

Wally Wackford: And-a unfortunately, the Bloodfields won't be competing as there-a farm-a was exploded-a. There was not-a single survivor-a.

Millie: That bitch Rozlie was lucky, she got one of my friends killed when we were little.

Linc: Oh no, Mom, I'm so sorry.

Noir: Wait, doesn't everyone from Wrath just fight and kill each other on a daily basis?

Millie: She was first friend, that bitch Rozlie locked us out of a silo during an Inferno hell storm. I swear if she wasn't dead already I would have-

In the crowd, the voice of someone could be heard.

Imp female: (off-screen) Hey, I didn't die, not all of us Bloodfields are dead!

Void made a grumbling noise.

Linc: What do you mean, "Give you a minute"?!

Millie: See, that Rozlie bitch is still pissing me ooooo- (Realizes that Rozlie is still alive and her eyes turn dark) Rozlie... Excuse me, I have to say "hi" to an old friend, won't be a minute (She walks away from her family)

Millie: (off-screen) Hey Rozlie, funny seeing you here.

Rozlie: (off-screen) Wait do I know- Oh shit Millie?! (Stabbed off-screen) AHHHHH!

Everyone except for Moxxie, Blitzo, and Millie's family, all had their eyes to the point they looked like dots as they slowly turned their gaze to the source of the screaming.

Millie: (off-screen) Yeah, bet you didn't expect to see me again did ya' Bitch.

Rozlie: (off-screen and in a lot fucking of pain) Oh Satan Millie, I am so sorry, I know should have opened that silo door- (Cut from being stabbed again) AH!

Millie: (off-screen) You left us to die you whore! (Stabs her again)

Rozlie: (off-screen) OH IT HURTS SO FUCKING MUCH!

Millie: (off-screen) This is for Charlet! Choke on it! Chock on my vengeance! How does it taste?! (Continues on stabbing her and laughing like a crazy bitch)

Rozlie: (off-screen) Blood... Blood in my Mouth...

Linc: (Horrified) You know what, I understand now, this is super uncomfortable.

The Games begin: A gun goes off and the games begin. Moxxie gets trampled with a yelp as the other imps race down the trail.

Striker climbs up a wooden ramp structure while Blitzo leaps down ahead of him. Linc managed to get up the ramp just as easily as the two and landed down perfectly. Off away from the game, Void and Noir were setting up what looked like a makeshift ballista or an overgrown crossbow, loaded with a pitchfork.

The two books fired the pitchfork but Striker not only knelt down to help Blitzo back up but another Imp came down the ramp and before hitting the ground was hit by the flying pitchfork.

Moxxie tries to catch up. He claws at the structure and falls into a small puddle. He gets chewed up and thrashed by a monstrous black and white shark. Linc was behind and saw this.

Linc: What in the- Is that normal?! (Helps Moxxie)

In the next shot, Striker grins smugly at Blitzo who has his legs, arms, and horns tied behind him. A muscular Imp holds a rope and grins at a scared Moxxie. Linc had managed to get an imp wrapped in a bind, thinking he did it right but was shocked when around a dozen throwing knives were thrown at the tied-up imp he had and saw they were thrown but Noir and Void, their target was Striker.

Striker, Blitzo, Linc, and Moxxie team up in a tug-of-war match, they easily one due to Linc's great strength but Moxxie falls into the water and the shark attacks him again.

Linc: What, Again?!

Moxxie: AHH! AH! HELP ME! I AM GETTING KILLED BY A FUCKING SHARK!

Linc: Is that normal in Wrath?!

Striker: (Just as surprised) Nope.

Striker then noticed one of his boots looked to have a loose lace on it and kneeled down to attend it but as he did a flying buzzsaw came out of nowhere and sawed off the heads of the other team. Noir and Void looked on with hatred and annoyance that they were having a hard time just killing one Imp.

Noir: You know, we said "Make it look like an accident" but we failed at that after the ramp climb thing.

Void mumbles something.

Noir: Yeah... maybe we should tell someone that something is up with that guy... Nah! Let's just keep on trying to kill him. Remember, I can't hurt people so you have to do the honors.

The scene cuts to a wrestling match in the mud between Blitzo and Striker. A group of imps does a football huddle on top of Moxxie. The shark leaps over the fence and begins to elbow-drop Moxxie.

Moxxie: MOTHERFUC-!!

Linc catches the shark and proceeds to use it like a weapon, clearly mad about it constantly attacking his dad. Linc later won that part of the competition by default as no one was willing to fight a hellhound with a Shark Demon for a weapon.

*20 minutes later*

Sallie May was behind a building with an envelope in her hand, it was bulging like was full of money, she then walks in front of the same shark that attacked Moxxie repeatedly during the festival.

Sallie May: Not a bad show, sorry about the last bit though.

Shark Demon: Yeah, gonna need to go to my chiropractor after what that hound did.

Sallie May: Mom and Dad did like how he used you as a flail. (They turn around and see Linc with a shocked expression) Oh, hey kiddo.

Linc: Why did you give money to the same shark that has been attacking my Dad?

Sallie May: Oh, kid, I think you know why. (Walks away so smugged)

Linc: (Still confused) Not really... Oh, you hired them to attack my dad- HEY!

*****

The scene cuts back to the stage with Linc, Blitzo, and Striker behind it with Wally Wackford on stage.

Wally Wackford: I say, I say, for the first year ever, we have a three-way tie for the winner of the Harvest Moon Pain Games!

Stolas takes the microphone from Wally Wackford.

Stolas: The winners are... Striker, Linc, aaaaand my darling Blitzy!

Stolas walks onto the stage and does a pose as the crowd cheers.

Blitzo: Just say my name RIGHT! Fuckin' dick!

Linc: Sucks doesn't it.

Blitzo walks onto the stage in frustration With Linc looks at his parents on the wooden bleachers and saw the upset look on Moxxie's face and was sad for his father.

Moxxie: (referring to Striker) Alright. So, he has the "physical advantage." I'm better at other things, like singing!

Striker: (pulls out a guitar) I'd like to take this opportunity to sing a quick song I wrote just now, about me winnin'.

Striker strums the guitar he pulled out.

Moxxie: Oh, WHAT THE FUCK?!

Loona: Tempted fate there didn't yah?

Striker: ♫ Sweet victory... I smell the smell. ♫

Striker kicks a squealing fangirl Imp in the face, sending her back to a group of Imps. The group then mauls her.

Striker: ♫From up in stinkin' Heaven, to the rugged rocks of Hell, sweet victory♫ With everything I do ♫ With every talent, I'm so much more talented than you ♫

Blitzo arrives with a slice of cheese on a stick with Linc walking behind him and they sat next to Moxxie and Millie in the bleachers. Blitzo eats his cheese.

Blitzo: (mouth full) Isn't this guy great?

Linc: No, he isn't didn't you notice how Void and Noir were trying to kill him the entire time?

Blitzo: Oh so that's what they were doing? Don't Void normally try to

Striker: (off-screen) ♫ Everytime I tryyyy, I push it and succeed. ♫

Moxxie: False!

Blitzo: It's gonna be nice workin' with him.

Blitzo pours hot sauce on his cheese and takes another bite.

Moxxie: Working with him...? WHAT?!

Striker: (off-screen) ♫ Every first attempt of every single deed ♫

Blitzo: Yeaaaah! I asked him if he wants to join I.M.P.

Moxxie: You asked... But...

Linc: Wait, you asked him to join without asking either of us if we were okay with that?

Moxxie looks visibly hurt as Blitzo looks at him in confusion.

Striker: (off-screen) ♫ Me! I'm totally the best. ♫

Millie: Mox, I think you've had enough, for now. Let's head back to the house and get you clean.

Striker: ♫ The super cool me, handsome guy- *cough* Moxxie, go fuck yourself ♫

Moxxie tears up and leaves with Millie as Striker finishes his song. Linc wanted to go with them but he looked back at Blitzo who was watching Striker, anger was building up. The sound of something bending was in the back of his mind.

Striker: ♫ Did you hear something? It was just the wind. ♫

The crowd cheers.

Striker: Thank you. You're too kind.

Blitzo: Damn, he is good, right kid? (Gives Linc a pat on the back)

Linc just looked at Blitzo with his face showing suppressed anger. Blitzo wanted to ask if he was okay before Linc grabbed him by his horns and lifted him off the ground. The bending sound getting more intense.

Linc: (Holding back his anger) Talk. NOW!

Blitzo: Hey, watch it I am your boss- (Gets thrown into a shed)

Linc enters the shed and closes the door so they could talk in private and turns on a light so they could see. Blitzo got up after landing on a pile of broken tools.

Blitzo: Gah. Who keeps broken tools in their shed? (Dusts himself off then points at Linc) What's your problem?

Linc: My problem is that you don't care about my Dad. You invite that cowboy guy that has been showing off and making my Dad look bad to join us. You literally just met him and you welcome the guy.

Blitzo: Hey, I trusted your Dad way faster than Striker, I met your father in prison and I became friends with him in under ten minutes. Plus, have you seen Striker, he is skilled, has a horse, great fighter, has a horse, handsome as FUCK! And did I mention he has a horse?

Linc: That guy has been nothing but a jerk to my Dad, did not hear his song-

Blitzo: I heard enough, plus kid it is my business, I'll say who gets to join and...

Linc could see Blitzo's lips moving but his voice was almost muted, he was just done right about now, something just... SNAPPED.

Blitzo: ... And who knows maybe he and Stolas would be interested in an all-dude three- (Is cut off as Linc grabs him by his throat) -some.

Linc: (Angry and slams Blitzo to the wall with glowing red eyes) Shut! Up! Look at you, you don't care about the people who you've known for years and want some cowboy wannabe on the team, since we first met that guy I never trusted him, and you only like him because you just want to have a connection to someone because you think you've never had a real connection to anyone.

Blitzo was shocked.

Linc: Don't believe me, that clown guy from Loo Loo Land, the popstar who is renting the office across from us, and you don't even care about Stolas... Those first two didn't leave you Blitzo, you left them because you're you, a selfish self-absorbed, Gah, JACKASS!... I bet you're gonna do the same to Striker, to us... to Stolas... You don't care Blitzo... you don't care. Why should I care about you, why should we care... why should ANYONE care about YOU?!

Linc lets go of Blitzo and then exits the shed, leaving Blitzo to himself... He didn't care what the kid said... right? Blitzo then noticed that the shadows of the room were... Bigger and Sharper... All pointing toward him.

*****

Volcanos with fiery spheres floating above them are revealed. Blitzo lies down on the ground and looks admiringly at Bombproof as he feasts on an animal carcass, he looked so happy to see the demonic horse but he looked to the house and saw Linc helping Sallie May carry some bag that had a red stain on it, he looked upset as he remembered the talk he had with them.

Millie beams beside her parents as her brothers load up jack-o-lanterns into a truck. Millie waves at them and runs off. Inside the cottage, Moxxie glumly walks up some stairs. Moxxie notices light shining through the bottom of a door.

Moxxie: Well, that's troubling.

Moxxie opens the door and peers around. He notices the light coming from a box. He walks over and sees a rifle with glowing designs in an open gun case.

Moxxie: Oh, my crumbs!

He runs his hand along the side of the rifle.

Moxxie: A genuine carmine-crafted blessing-tipped rifle! How... How in the fuck did he get one o' these?!

Striker leans against the door frame behind him.

Striker: Why don't you ask me, little dude?

Moxxie: Shit! W- Why do you have this... mister?! You are aware this kind of weapon can kill-

Striker: ...demon royalty?

Moxxie: Yes. That.

Striker: No shit. (flicks his wheat stalk away) That's kinda the point that and maybe another person.

Striker runs his claws along the door. He closes the door and advances menacingly toward Moxxie with a grin.

Moxxie: Okay. Well, I'm- I'm relatively concerned by your possession of this... I'm also glad my instant dislike of you has been vali-

Striker grabs Moxxie by the throat.

Moxxie: -DATED!

Striker wraps his tail around Moxxie's neck. He tosses Moxxie hard against the wall. He chokes Moxxie on the floor as Moxxie hisses and tries to claw at him. Striker holds him down with his body weight. Moxxie glances over to see a lamp on a table. He kicks the table and the lamp crashes into Striker. Millie hears the crash from outside. Moxxie stands up and races toward the door. He pulls the door open but Striker roughly pulls him back by his tail. Striker covers Moxxie's mouth and begins to strangle him. Striker chuckles evilly as Moxxie begins to lose consciousness.

Striker: (smirks) Pathetic, first that blue-blooded royal then your pup.

Moxxie: (While being strangled) P-pup? (Thinks) LINC?!

Striker: Your little boy. When I kill them, I will be taking those books from that mutt, his dirty little bastard paws.

Moxxie: (Grabs Strker's knife from his belt) Don't shit about my son!

Moxxie tried to stab them but Striker grabs the knife with their tail and tosses it behind him.

Moxxie: (Thinking) Okay. what the fuck?

Millie appears behind Striker and stabs him in the back with a knife. Moxxie collapses to the floor. A feral enraged Millie stabs Striker repeatedly in the back. She leaps onto his back and holds the knife at his neck. Striker slams Millie off against the wall, breaking her arm. A bleeding Millie collapses next to Moxxie. Moxxie reaches his hand toward Millie.

Moxxie: (weakly) Millie... (Thinking) Where is Linc or Loona, they should have heard that.

On the outside, both Loona and Linc were listening to music after helping out, well after Linc helped out, and just listening to heavy metal as Loona wanted Linc to hear some more types of music other than the "classical crap" as she calls it in M&M's house.

Striker grabs both of them by their hair and tosses them into a cellar. Millie cries out as her foot gets caught in a bear trap.

Striker: I'd kill y'all, but I feel like there's more leverage with your rodeo clown of a boss if I don't! Plus, you two little things ain't worth the cleanup.

Moxxie runs up the stairs, but Striker closes the cellar doors. Moxxie tries to push the doors, but they won't budge.

Moxxie: (worried) Millie!

Moxxie runs down the stairs to Millie, assessing her.

Moxxie: (worried) Oh, Satan!

Millie: Moxxie, I'm fiiiine! I got worse than this during the flower tufts at my brother's weddin'. But I caught that fuckin' bouquet and it was fuckin' worth it!

Moxxie: Bad timing but he is planning on killing Linc too after Stolas.

Millie: Oh that motherfucker is gonna die if he even thinks about hurting my baby! (tries to stand up but falls back down from the pain) OH! FUCK! Right, forgot about this! (To Moxxie) You just have to get out there, and fuck up that brownnosin' cocksucker for me and save our boy!

Moxxie: But I can't break through it. I'm not strong enough.

Millie: Not with your hands, baby. Use what you're good at.

Moxxie: I'm not good with my hands.

Millie raises an eyebrow with an unamused expression.

Moxxie: Ohhhh. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

Moxxie pulls out a pistol and fires a hole in the door. He pushes the doors open.

Moxxie: I... I probably should've used this earlier, huh?

Millie: I love you, hun... But, for fuck's sake!

With the two Hellhounds, Linc smelled something, it smelled like Iron, the smell of blood, mixed with what smelled like... His adoptive mother... Linc quickly excused himself to follow the scent to its source. As he quickly followed the scent of blood, the shadows of the farm followed him.

To Be Continued...

That's it for this chapter, see you in the next. Ya know... We could've taken a bit from the first part and put it here to space them out a bit better.

*Echo wasn't there.*

Oh right, we're in different sheds now... Jokes on them. I get a free shed!
