Chapter 20: Royal Woods Band Battle 1/2

Here's the next chapter. Thanks to ECHO-173 for help editing this chapter. Enjoy!

In the parking lot outside the I.M.P. office, it was a full day, there wasn't a single open parking spot. Verosika Mayday pulled into the lot with Vortex in the passenger seat and stopped at the Valet of the building.

Verosika: Vortex, make a note, next time; Don't wait for you to shower.

Vortex: Hey, I needed to clean out my shower drain, I can't help it that my fur clogs it!

Verosika got out of her car with a groan and approached the valet.

Valet Imp: That'll be 10 dollars.

Verosika: What?! It was 3 bucks yesterday!

Valet Imp: Yeah but the owner started taking half of what I get. So it's 10 bucks now.

Verosika: That's a total rip! I'll park it myself!

Verosika stepped back into her car, with Vortex just sitting back down in the car.

Vortex: Don't you have the cash?

Verosika: I'm not wasting 10 bucks for some imp dick weed to waste my gas, and leave half-empty beer bottles, and beer stains in my car! (to the valet) LIKE YESTERDAY!!!

The valet just stuck a finger in his ear and picked out some ear wax... That he proceeded to eat... Gross.

Vortex: Ew... (to Verosika) But you'll put up with it for 3 dollars?

Verosika: It's the principle of the matter.

Vortex: What principle?

Verosika then began to drive around the parking lot for an open space turning down one lane, also glaring at the I.M.P. van in its reserved parking spot, the only reserved spot in the entire lot, even had their logo painted on the concrete. The succubus turned down a different lane and smiled as she spotted a car with its tail lights on, coming to a stop and waiting for the demon to pull out.

(TFS Roshi: Heh!) (GET THE OUT!!!) (TFS Roshi: Why should I?) (*Gun cocking sound*) (TFS Roshi: Fine! Fine! I'm leaving! I'm leaving!) (Had to deal with enough of that from Ghost Nappa! Not dealing with it anymore!)

Verosika impatiently tapped her steering wheel as she waited for the driver to leave the spot. The driver then proceeded to pull out of the spot about 90% of the way, before driving back in, correcting her crooked parking. The hellhound driver then parked the car and walked inside, Verosika eyed her annoyingly before driving off. The succubus then drove into the next lane looking around for an open spot. She smiled when she spotted an open parking spot, but when she went to pull in, Verosika stopped as she saw that there was a car there, it was just one of those compact cars.

In the next lane, Verosika had to slow down because there was an old incubus demon walking down the middle of the lane carrying bags. Verosika revved her engine to get the old incubus to move faster, but it went ignored. She did it again but went ignored again. Verosika then stopped when the old incubus put down his bags and began feeling around in his coat. Verosika smiled thinking he was about to get into his car when he pulled out a set of keys, but the incubus pulled out a handkerchief, blew his nose, then walked to a bus stop just outside of the parking lot and sat down. Verosika sat still for a moment before she clenched her eyes and fists.

Verosika: RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!

Verosika pulled back up to the valet imp, holding out her credit card.

Verosika: Here! Take it.

Valet Imp: Sorry, I don't have a card reader, its gotta be in cash.

Verosika: GGGGGGRRRRRR!!!

The succubus pulled out her purse from the backseat and began searching for her wallet. Vortex tried to step out of the car but was pulled back into his seat by Verosika, who clearly didn't want to be stuck dealing with this by herself. The succubus found her wallet but also found that the smallest bill she had was a 100-dollar bill.

Verosika: The smallest thing I've got is a 100!

Valet Imp: I don't have change either.

Verosika: Doh forget it! I'll park it myself!

Verosika sped off and went back to her search for a free parking space, glaring at the I.M.P. van again as she passed it. Going into the next lane then the next, before seeing an open spot again. Vortex, however, recognized it.

Vortex: Verosika wait thats-

Vortex was too late as Verosika swerved into the spot only to find it was the same spot with the compact car in it. Verosika hit the brake but hit the compact car and broke her front headlights, her hood ornament along with the hood itself, popped one of the front tires due to the metal lunging back and stabbing the tire, cracking her windshield, and it was slow at first but also broke into her fuel line. Verosika's eye twitched and Vortex took that as a sign to leave, hopping out of the car and running to the door while Verosika began beating her head against the steering wheel.

Verosika: Hrrmph! Hrrmph! Hrrmph! Hrrmph! Hrrmph! Hrrmph! Hrrmph! Hrrmph! RRRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

*****

At the I.M.P. office, everyone was doing their own thing with Blitzo in his office taking calls while Loona and Ms. Mayberry were doing some paperwork, well just Mayberry as Loona was just on her phone looking at social media while in her large form lifting weights with the other hand. Millie and Moxxie were just cleaning up the weapons they used to use in mission in case they needed to use them and if Noir didn't want to help out. Linc was looking over Umbra and learning how to use his new powers such as him making his shadow grab a coffee cup on the opposite side of a table and tossed it to him and tried to grab it in mid-air only to miss and it landed on the floor leaving a stain.

Umbra: Welp, you tried, but hey you're making good progress on practicing here. You only had me for two days and already you know how to use my shadow powers.

Linc: Yeah it isn't that hard to use your powers, it is like using my muscles.

Loona changes back to her normal body and puts the weights down.

Loona: Yeah, but given that your muscles can literally blow holes through people, it's probably not easy. Like with what happened on 10th Street.

Linc: I thought we weren't supposed to talk about what happened on 10th Street.

Loona felt a swift smack upside her head, the cause being Ms. Mayberry with a paper fan.

Loona: OW!!!

Ms. Mayberry: You're not.

Blitzo was looking over some emails he kept getting to see if they had any jobs, so far it was just junk mail, spam scam emails, tax returns that were overdue, stuff from Stolas he didn't answer, and some subscriptions to websites that were told to pay his bills. It was starting to piss him off that he both had to deal with this crap but also no new clients.

Blitzo: GAH! Nothing! We haven't had a client since we got back! We need to find a way to get more clients but how? Hmm, maybe a calendar... Nah, there are only six of us, one of us is Linc, and another is my daughter so no the fuck way am I doing that... Maybe if Stolas helps and ask some of his servants to help out we can do an all-male calendar? Or I could sell dick pics of Linc's. Void says he's hung like a horse after all.

Blitzo felt wires wrap around his neck.

Millie: (from outside) THE FUCK YOU WILL!!!

Blitzo: Fine! I WON'T! Maybe Moxxie's-

Blitzo felt the wires tighten.

Blitzo: (coughing) Okay! Okay! Or I could sell mine again, it has been a while.

The wires unwrapped themselves and Blitzo took out his phone and started to unzip his pant. the tall imp stopped as he then heard the front door being kicked in from his office, followed by a loud voice he knew very well.

Verosika: BLITZ-O!!!

The sounds of Void roaring followed by more screaming, only this time it was in fear instead of rage.

Blitzo: Oh, what is that cunt pissed at me for now?

Void made a gurgling sound from outside Blitzo's door.

Noir: Void said that he stole a metric fuck ton of cars and put them in the non-reserved parking spots to piss off a lot of people.

Blitzo: HA! Nice!

Verosika: (from outside) That's not why I'm here! Put me down! (*Flop!*) Ooof!

Verosika barged into Blitzo's office.

Blitzo: Why'd you let her in? (to Verosika) What do you want?

Verosika: I want a rematch. You only won last time because I fucked up and dropped my Beelzejuice in the water!

Blitzo: Heheheh! I remember that. How'd pig dick taste?

Verosika: Like coffee and donut jam. (shakes her head) Nevermind that! I want a rematch! This time we up the ante.

At this point, everyone else was watching this from outside the office.

Linc: (enters the office) Sorry to interrupt but, why would we accept this? It isn't like you have anything we gain from challenging you again and we do have blackmail on you with the whole sea monster thing my Mom killed.

Verosika: Simple.

Verosika turns Blitzo's computer screen toward the open door, letting everyone see they didn't have any job offers.

Verosika: If you guys win I'll do some advertising for you. I have a lot of fans and followers after all.

Umbra: What? Don't you all already have advertisements?

Moxxie: We did, a single commercial that no one saw.

Millie: We had a billboard but we never paid for it, we just painted over an already existin' one, so it was taken down pretty quickly.

Linc: And there was that one time we painted over another billboard but we got chased out by security and it was on a building that was meant to be torn down.

Umbra: You guys are bad at marketing yourselves. What's next, Are you gonna tell me you advertised with posters like those for lost dogs? (awkward silence) Holy shit you guys suck at advertisement.

Linc: We know... well Blitzo does anyway.

Blitzo: HEY!

Linc: But we have to ask first... (To Verosika) What do YOU get if you win?

Verosika: Two things. The parking space from before and... (points at Linc) You.

Millie: (pulls out the lightning hammer) Fuckin' excuse you?!

Moxxie: The fuck?! We are not betting our son!

Linc: I do not consent to this!

Blitzo: (passively waves at them, physically looks like he's considering it) Now now hold on, let's hear out her reasons.

Linc: (Thinking) Blitzo, you better not you bastard!

Verosika: The way I see it, you're the powerhouse of this who thing. You've got three magic books, you're built like a tank, Vortex is afraid of you, and it's posted on the I.M.P. website that you're the largest out of the three guys.

Linc: What?! (takes out his phone and finds the website with he wang size listed in his bio) BLITZO!!!

Blitzo: What? I let Void do that shit! Well... Actually, I didn't have a choice in the matter.

Linc: (To Void) VOID!!!

Void lets out a bellowing chuckle before being pinned to the wall by Millie. The two growled at each other, Millie pointing her hammer at him while Void aimed several spears at her head.

Noir: He said: "I regret nothing! Now let me go or else crazy mama!"

Millie: You posted mah son's dick size online for everyone to see! You're the reason succubi are sending us mail wanting to see him!

Void makes another mumbled sound.

Noir: He said: "Hey! Lots of people would like to know down here, and just imagine what other freaks are doing up in the human world, they have done worse things online."

Everyone then turned to you the viewers, they know what you've looked up on the internet.

Verosika: So we doing this or not?

Linc: Blitzo would never-

Blitzo: Deal!

Everyone but Verosika: WHAT?!?!

Linc: I forgot who he was for a second.

Millie: Moxxie!

Moxxie used his wires to hang Blitzo by his ankles.

Verosika: Great. This time, the name of the game is Music. while I'm drawing in potential fuck toys for the succubi, you losers will have to draw in chumps to get killed. See you at the party.

Ms. Mayberry: (blocks her from leaving) Hold it. You're not leaving until we get all the details. Which party and where is it?

Verosika: Hmp, smart. This one is in a place called Royal Woods. A bunch of college students are having a party in the park.

Linc's eye twitched upon hearing that. Something about it, made his head throb. He saw flashes of a house, a run-down two-story house.

Verosika: Welp, so you all there. (Leaves while blowing a kiss at Linc)

There was a long awkward silence after she left.

Blitzo: Now don't worry guys, we beat her before and we can do it again!

Linc smashes his desk as he charged at him.

Blitzo ran around the room, before being cornered, the tall imp put on a pair of glasses.

Blitzo: You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses would you?

Linc grabbed the glasses and smashed them against Blitzo's head.

Blitzo: You hit a guy "With" glasses... Heh... Uhh... Well played.

Linc grabbed Blitzo by the throat.

Linc: I am going to kill you!

Loona swats him with a rolled-up magazine which made him let go and forced out a whimper that a dog would make.

Loona: Don't. It won't help.

Moxie: Sir, I hate to remind you but we only won last time because of the fact that she accidentally created two sea monsters that Millie and Void killed.

Ms. Mayberry: We should focus on prepping for this. Let's spike bear with Poison. Noir, know any deadly

Noir: Enough that the mere mention of it would get both Lance and Echo arrested by the CIA for just knowing the deadly concoctions.

Linc: Enough with the meta-humor.

Noir: Fine! But I have to ask why you don't just kill her, you all have magic weapons.

Blitzo: To prove a- (Gets loose from his bindings and lands face first on the floor) A POINT! Also because Verosika can dumb up business! (Gets grabbed by Linc again and slammed to the wall) AH!

Linc: YOU! (Slams him against the wall again) BET! (Slams him against the wall again!) ME! (Slams him to the wall yet again) LIKE A CHEAP ITEM! (He slammed him into the wall again but in a different spot this time. There was a loose nail there.) THAT IS THE SAME SHIT YOU PULLED WHEN YOU WERE KISSING UP TO STRIKER!!!

Blitzo: Can you calm down for a second before you go ape shit again!?

Millie took Linc's hand and pulled him down to her level, letting him rest his head on her shoulder. Calming him down greatly.

Blitzo: The name of the game is music, right? Remember that time when we were stuck inside because of some acid rain? You and Stolas winged it and made a great song on the fly! You even know how to play several instruments!

Moxxie: Speaking of, (to Loona) did the payment for the dumb kit you bought him go through?

Loona: Yeah, got it last week.

Blitzo: That's why I accepted so quickly! You're way better than Verosika in musical talent. So you just gotta do it again. This time in front of a bunch of humans!

Linc meeped at the thought of "winging it" in front of hundreds of humans. Made his fur stand on end, which Millie had to flatten out to help him calm down. Blitzo took notice of this immediately.

Blitzo: Moxx, does Linc have stage fright?

Moxxie: Yes, he can perform well in front of people he knows, but clams up any talent he has when he's outside and near people he doesn't know.

Blitzo: Ooooohhh, shit... He was the only reason I agreed to this!

Loona: So you're hinging off the fact Linc is a good musician?!

Blitzo: Yes! Oh, we are fucked! Alright! New plan! We release Void and nuke all of Royal Woods! Full Order 66 on that place. Kill everything in sight!

Void made several happy noises.

Ms. Mayberry: I don't think that's a good plan. Humans may be stupid while they're alive, but heaven and hell will notice when an entire town is eradicated when they get an influx of new guests.

Blitzo: Shit! Okay, Plan C! We're going to Royal Woods! We can see what the people like up there! Hopefully, by then we'll make a kickass song that makes that bitch see we are better than her in every way!

Moxxie: Plus maybe Linc can get some socializing skills while we're there.

Ms. Mayberry: You may want to go, I just looked up parties happening in that area, and the one Verosika is booked for is in two days.

Noir: Mayberry and I will prepare the poisoned beer for the party.

Loona grabbed Linc and walked off.

Loona: I'll get going. You three get the instruments and the stage ready.

Blitzo: Alright. Let's lick some ass!

Millie: Void.

Void punches Blitzo through a wall.

That's all for this chapter! I hope you enjoyed it!
