Here's the next part! Thanks to omegacrow-nexus for help with this chapter! Enjoy!

At the I.M.P. building, Loona was just walking in, taking a look through a list of texts she had gotten from yesterday.

Texts from Yesterday.

Blitzørodeo: Hey, Loonie! Just got to the doc, gonna get back to you soon! I know you miss me! So while I've only got one working arm, I might as well practice my dad's jokes.

Loona: Oh, goddammit...

Loona pinched the bridge of her nose. Before scrolling through the large amounts of dad jokes from Blitzø.

Blitzørodeo: What kind of noise does a witch's vehicle make? Brrrroooom, brrroooom.

Loona let out a pained groan, showing that she's heard those two before, and didn't like them.

Blitzørodeo: How do you get a country girl's attention? A tractor.

Loona rolled her eyes, not finding those funny.

Blitzørodeo: What do you call a pudgy psychic? A four-chin teller.

Loona let out a slight snicker for that last one.

Blitzørodeo: "Give it to me! Give it to me!" she yelled. "I'm so wet, give it to me now!" She could scream all she wanted, but I was keeping the umbrella.

Loona bit her lip as she smiled at the dirty joke.

Blitzørodeo: They say that during sex you burn off as many calories as running eight miles. Who the Here runs eight miles in 30 seconds?

Loona snorted a laugh out at that joke.

Blitzørodeo: I'll admit it, I have a tremendous sex drive. My girlfriend lives forty miles away.

Loona let out a light chuckle for that last joke.

Texts from 21 Hours ago.

Loona sighed in relief, glad the barrage of dad jokes was over now.

Simply_moxxie: Loona, Moxxie here, Blitzø got into a fight with someone at the hospital, we ran into a Teenager Molester Sinner who made a rude comment on a picture of you and Blitzø. Now we'll be gone for tomorrow too.

Loona: Explains why Blitzø never came home last night, had to order take out... (her stomach uncomfortably grumbles) That was a mistake, really should've expected a burger from a Mexican place was bad.

Texts from 30 minutes ago.

Beautymarkbabe666 - Hey Loona, how's Linc doing? Can you tell him we'll be gone for another day?

Loona smiled, after the madness of yesterday, she needed to redeem herself after that mess. Show Linc a fun time he'd enjoy. Then an idea came to her, she could invite another friend that she knew more recently too.

Loona: Alright, I've got a plan for today. Now, where's Linc?

*****

In the I.M.P. office's kitchen, Linc was looking through the pantry.

Linc: So I was a talented cook in my past life.

Void made a nodding motion, before mumbling.

A/N: Only one person give an answer so Void remains untranslated.

Linc: You only remember the bad stuff and what I was good at?

Void groaned.

Linc: I know I repeated you. Now, let's see, all that is in here is; Canned Mackerel, Half of an Onion, an egg, a bag of bread that's slightly stale, salt, pepper, some sesame oil, some soy sauce, citrus juice, some rice wine called Mirin, bonito flakes, dried kelp, rice vinegar, and some potato starch.

Void groaned slightly but went ignored as Linc took all of what was in the pantry. First, Linc drained the mackerel can's juice a bit then quickly boiled it. Linc then finely chopped the onion before adding them into a bowl with some of the mackerel that he had broken up into pieces.

Linc: (hands the bowl to Void) Hold this and mix while I add stuff.

Void grumbled before creating two hands, one to hold the bowl while the other hand mixed it all. Linc then cracked the egg into the bowl and turned the slightly stale bread into 1.5 cups of breadcrumbs, and a suitable amount of salt and pepper. Linc then put a plastic glove over his hands and wetted them with some water, then took some of the meat mixes and formed them into a patty.

Void groaned but again, was ignored, it then grumbled in annoyance. Meanwhile, a pan was heating up with some sesame oil in it, and once Linc turned all the meat into patties, Linc placed two patties into the pan to fry them. Linc waited until the surface was light brown before he flipped it. After about 3 minutes he transferred the patties to a plate.

After turning the rest of the meat into cooked patties and putting them on a plate, Linc lowered the flame and then added the canned mackerel's juice that was left in the can into the pan. Then Linc took the soy sauce, citrus juice, rice wine called Mirin, bonito flakes, dried kelp, and rice vinegar. Combining equal parts of soy sauce and fresh lemon juice as well as a bit of sweetness from mirin. Then add the bonito flakes, a bit of rice vinegar, and dried kelp to the mix turning it all into a sauce that's called Ponzu.

Linc then added the ponzu to the pan with the canned mackerel's juice and fat from the burger, then mixed it all up before adding the potato starch to thicken it into a sauce. Before pouring the sauce onto the patties.

Linc: Done! Looks great!

Linc then made himself a plate. Loona then walked in, attracted by the delicious smell of Linc's cooking.

Loona: Damn, Linc, that smells great!

Linc: Thanks, let me fix you one too.

Linc quickly fixed Loona a plate and the two hellhounds began to eat.

Loona: Unholy shit this is good! Oh, yeah. Linc, your rents are going to be out with Blitzø for another day.

Linc nodded, not wanting to talk with a full mouth, Loona smirked.

Loona: Good news though, I've got a plan for today. But we need to pick up a friend first.

Linc: They aren't going to offer me sex or pick a fight with me are they?

Loona: No, but her mom might.

Linc: The sex thing or the fight thing?

Loona: Not sure. Come on, we'll go pick her up.

Linc: (Void grumbles) Void asks if he should portal us there.

Loona: No, neither of you know where it is.

The two hellhounds then left the I.M.P. building. Lacking a vehicle, Linc hailed a taxi after Loona attempted to break into and steal a car. After a quick ride in the taxi, the two hellhounds got off at a mansion.

It was a regal burgundy colored building that turns into a deep blue with violet tones during the night mimicking a night sky. Its windows are elegant and tall with pink stained glass, which lights long corridors filled with plant vases, which are probably carnivorous given their appearance.

Linc: Why are we here?

Loona: To pick up a friend.

Loona began to climb over and with a bit of struggle, she got to the top of the fence. Upon getting on top of the fence, she looked down to see Linc was gone. She then heard a cough from the other side then saw that Linc used a portal to get past the gate. Void was making laughing noises, having enjoyed Loona's struggle to climb up.

Loona: If you're done laughing, help me down! I don't wanna rip my skirt on this gate.

Linc quickly had Void get Loona down, and they walked up to the front door. Loona rang the doorbell and the one who answered was someone much different from what Linc had previously thought.

They were tall, white avian female demons with curvaceous proportions. She has long, hair-like feathers that have gray tips and a large gray stripe on her head. She has a short pink beak and long curved eyelashes. She has gray markings underneath her eyes, which themselves have red sclera with light pupils. For attire, she wore a white dress with puffed sleeves and feather trimming, along with black accents. She is seen wearing a crown and has painted nails underneath her black gloves.

Loona: Ha, Stella.

"Stella" immediately slammed the door in Loona's face.

Stella: (huffs) Damn, flea-ridden brat.

The owl demon turned around and was shocked to see that Loona and Linc were now inside and behind her. She pointed at the hellhounds and then at the door in confusion before coming to her senses.

Stella: GET OUT!!!

???: Stella, what are you screaming about now?

Linc looked up to see another anthropomorphic owl demon, this time male. He was very tall, with an owl's beak and two pairs of narrow red eyes with no visible irises or pupils. He has blue and dark blue feathers with white and gray accents. He has a tail of blue feathers with darker blue tips that reach his feet, and a lighter gray-blue puff of fur on his chest. From the neck up, his feathers fade from blue to darker blue, and his face stands out in a white heart shape.

His arms and legs are black, and instead of shoes, his limbs are tipped with owl claws. He wore a feathery tophat with a regal gold crown on its front. He also wears a red tunic with six golden buttons, gray trousers, and a plush burgundy surcoat with a white fur collar and puffed striped sleeves.

Loona: Hey, Stolas.

"Stolas": Oh, you're Blitzy's daughter! Loonie!

Loona: (ignoring Void's snickering) It's Loona. We're here to see Octavia.

Stolas: Of course! Any friend of Via's is welcome!

Stella: Oh *Here* no! First, you have sex with an imp! Now you're letting our daughter become "friends" with two flee-ridden mongrels!?

Linc: I've yet to meet Octavia so only Loona counts.

Stolas: Oh you'll love her, she's such a good girl!

Stella: There is no way in *Here* am I letting that happen!

A/N: A cookie for those who can guess the reference when I used Here instead of Hell.

Loona: Stella.

Stella: Do not refer to me by name!

Loona: Sure, but given what Via has told me... When have you ever been involved in her life? Ya noble cunt.

Stella's jaw dropped at Loona's statement. Stolas covered his mouth in surprise. Void made a light roar before he threw a small green bean at Stella, getting no reaction.

Linc: Okay, a couple of questions. What the here is a senzu bean? Where did you get those? And why are you still making references I don't get?

All Linc got as an answer was a shrug from Void, who threw another "Senzu bean" at Stella. Snapping her back into reality.

Stella: Now listen here you a little bit-

Linc: Cube!

Suddenly a cube appeared over Stella's head, she beat on it and screamed inside, coming out as quiet muffles.

Linc: I'm leaving that on until she calms down.

Stolas: (points at Stella) Can she hear us?

Linc: Not if you're quiet.

Stolas: That will be a while then, she can go for 8 hours when she's really mad.

Loona: Let's get out of here quickly. Stolas, we're gonna be taking Via out on a little excursion today. I promised her that I'd bring her along with me next time I had a free day.

Stolas: Oh, she's in her room. You know where it is.

Stella started letting out muffled shouts until she ran out of air in the cube and fell over. Linc quickly made a hole in the bottom cube for air to flow through and Stella shot back up with a deep breath of air. As Stella gasped for air, Loona left the main hall to go to Octavia's room with Linc following after her. Stella pulled the cube off her head, Stolas held out a hand to help her up but Stella slapped it away before storming off. Going into the mansion's library, Stolas shrugged and went his own way.

***

Linc: So Stolas is the husband to Stella and father to Octavia. Stella is the wife to Stolas and the mother to Octavia. Stolas slept with Blitzø, Stella is pissed about it cause she hates the lower class.

Loona: Yup.

Loona and Linc came to a door down a hallway, and Loona knocked on the door.

???: (snarky female voice) Go away Dad!

Loona smirked and gave the door a more harsh "knock".

Loona: I ain't your dad! Now open the door!

The door swung open to reveal an adolescent avian demon, that was probably Octavia. She is lanky and unkempt with a coat of gray feathers. Her eyes are also pink with bright pupils, while below each of her eyes are two tear-like streaks. Octavia bears traits from both of her parents: she has her father's white mask-like face and light pupils with her mother's shaggy, scruffy hair feathers. For clothing, Octavia wears a pink glittery dress, a dark feather shawl around her shoulders, pink arm warmers with stars on them, black boots, and a black beanie hat with a pale tiara design on it. She also accessories with a pink choker around her neck.

Octavia: Loona!

The teen owl pulls Loona into a hug.

Loona: Good to see you, Via.

Octavia then notices Linc.

Octavia: Whose this?

Loona: This is Linc, he's the adopted kid of that old man and country girl I've told you about.

Linc: (holds out his hand) Hello.

Octavia: (shakes his hand) Cool. Nice to meet you.

Void then floated out from behind him.

Linc: This is Void, he's a book that follows me around.

Octavia: Cool.

Void grumbled for a moment.

Loona: I hope you remember my promise next time I had a free day. I'm taking you and Linc here on a trip to Earth.

Octavia: Yes!

Linc: I-I don't know, isn't that place full of murderers, drug dealers/addicts, and a bunch shoot happy psychos?

Loona: Yeah, but America has them the worst, since this is a Christian Hell, there are other places for different beliefs.

Octavia: Don't you remember this from school.

Loona pulled Octavia closer to her.

Loona: Linc has had amnesia for a while, he's got no memory of going to a school, he only knows basic stuff, and the rest he learned through experience.

Octavia nodded and the three began toward the front door. Passing Stolas on the way.

Octavia: I'm going out.

Stolas: Alright. Just stay safe my little owlet!

Linc held down a chuckle at what Stolas called his daughter, Loona didn't hold it down, she just laughed. Octavia blushed deeply in embarrassment as her father waved them goodbye. Peering down at the three as they left, Stella was looking at Void as they got farther from the manor. She looked back at a book in her lap labeled "Book of Grimoires". She flipped through the book until she came to a picture of Void with text on the side.

"Grimoires of Void - Volume 1"

"A mysterious book of immeasurable power. Volume 1 uses the Voice of Void to cast its spells. Although they are simple words when spoken in the Voice of Void they can become much more than simple words. The user also gains the Voice of Void, allowing them to speak simple words and generate powerful spells. This grimoire isn't able to leave its current realm and can always be found near the other 3 Volumes of the Grimoires of the Void."

Stella: If that boy had a Grimoire of the Void, where are the other Volumes? And why does that hellhound have it?

Stella continued to dig into the Book of Grimoires about the Grimoire of Void.

*****

Back at the I.M.P. office. Loona was prepping the portal ready to go to the Living World, Earth. A portal opened to a back alley, and Loona and Octavia stepped through first. Linc followed soon after, Void attempted to follow too but something stopped him.

Loona: Looks like the book can't go through portals that aren't his.

Void screeched and roared, Loona looked at Linc for a translation.

Linc: I don't think I should repeat what he said...

Octavia: You're pretty weird.

Linc: I'm well aware.

Loona then closed the portal as Void began screeching and throwing tables around the building.

Linc: Blitzø is not going to be happy about that...

Loona: He'll blame it on Moxxie anyway. Alright, rule 1 when on Earth, you need to be in your Human Disguise at all times. Linc, you probably have no clue what I'm talking about so me and Octavia will demonstrate.

Suddenly the two demons were blanketed in red sparkling smoke, before two

Loona's human form had her eye colors inverted, as she has a white sclera with red irises. She shrinks down from her demon form, appearing to be of average height compared to most humans in this form and somewhat slimmer than normal. She retains the same outfit as before, but with the addition of black knee-high socks and high-top sneakers, and black lipstick. Her choker also loses the spikes, and in place of her torn right ear, she now has two earrings on each ear. Her head is shaved on the right side. She also had on a black jacket with a furred hood and the mid-section cut-off.

Octavia's human form looked much like her original, unlike Loona she had white sclera with pink irises. She was much shorter than Loona despite previously being equal to her. She also had tanned skin.

Linc: Woah... You girls look good.

Loona: Thanks, now it's your turn. Just imagine yourself as a human, it will come to you naturally.

Linc focused as hard as he could, instead of red sparkling smoke, a lightless black smoke covered him.

Loona: Huh, the first time I've seen black smoke before.

When the smoke cleared, Linc stood in his human disguise. He had spiky silver hair, very pale skin, and blue eyes. He had an athletic and lean build. His clothes changed too. A black long-sleeve shirt under a jean jacket, dark gray pants, and white sneakers.

Linc: How do I look?

Loona: You look good.

Octavia: Not bad for a first try.

Linc: So... what'll we do first?

Loona then heard music and also smelled booze from afar due to her special sense of smell and hearing, meaning that there was a huge party going on.

Loona: Follow me, I think I know what we're going first.

Before Octavia and Linc could say anything, Loona grabs their arms and ran at quick speed while ignoring Octavia and linc yelling for her to slow down. After running block after block, Loona found the location; It was a huge, gothic-like mansion with a bunch of gothic and punk rock men and women partying inside and outside of the house.

Octavia and Linc were struggling to keep their lunches from Loona's speed, their faces a sickly green as if they rode a roller coaster 100 times.

Linc: I think I'm gonna be sick...

Octavia: Loona... give us a warning before you do that...!

Loona: Suck it up, we're here.

Linc: I don't know about this...

Loona: (places an arm around Linc's shoulder, smirks) C'mon, don't be a wimp linc. It's a party, cut loose and have fun.

Linc: The last party I went to I ended up in a death match with another hellhound.

Octavia: .... What...?

Linc: It's a long story-

A punk woman suddenly bumped into Linc causing her cold beer to touch his ear, resulting in a short-lived panic.

Linc: AAHHH!!!

Linc turned and slugged the woman out of sheer shock from his disguised yet sensitive ears being touched with a cold drink. Like all of his other swings, Linc sent the woman flying, her shoes flew off as she tumbled through the air.

Octavia: Damn......

Loona: Yeah, he's got a helluva punch.

Linc: I don't do it on purpose! She scared me!

Octavia: She technically bumped into you, not actually scared you yet you sent her flying in the air.

Linc: Still scared the crap out of me...

Loona: That's because you're so tense all the time. You need to loosen up and chill out, nothing bad is going to happen to us here.

Linc: Ok.... But If you're wrong, I'm walking out the door.

Octavia: (Looking around) Is that guy pulling out a gun?

*BANG BANG BANG!!!*

Screams erupted as a human male began firing at people randomly.

Loona: Okay! We're leaving!

Loona takes Octavia and Linc but not before quickly grabbing a couple of booze from the table as the three run out of there.

Linc: (looking at Loona)...

Loona: What? .... What?!

Linc: .... I'm not the type to say I told ya so but...

Loona: Don't even start. At least I scored on some booze (looks at the bottles with a strange wolf symbol with blood eyes) Huh? Haven't seen these types of booze before, ah what the hell, must be rare.

Octavia: Can we not focus on the booze right now?

Linc: What else is there to do here?

Octavia: Hmmm... we could always go to the woods?

Loona: Well I do know of a forest near this place.

Linc: Lead the way.

Loona led the two to a forest park, Octavia seemed happy to listen to the sounds of the forest. Loona and Linc weren't so happy, their canine senses were constantly picking up gross smells and noises from Dog Whistles used in the nearby dog park.

Linc: (hearing the dog whistles) oh crap... What is that?!

Loona: (hearing the dog whistles) I don't know... it's like someone's torturing a f**kin' cat!!

Octavia: Huh? I don't hear anything bad, it's quite peaceful here.

Linc: (covering his ears) Are you sure?! It sounds like there's someone torturing a cat!

Octavia: Don't be silly, I don't even torture cats.

Linc: ... What?

Loona: It's a demon thing. (hears two dog whistles going, covering her ears) Oh, Satan! Make it stop!

Octavia: I still don't hear anything bad, are you both paranoid?

Man: Hey, stop my dog, it keeps running!

Octavia looks down the path at a man chasing a dog while blowing into a dog whistle. As the man got closer, Loona smacked the dog whistle out of his hand and grabbed him by the shirt collar.

Loona: I will carve you like a f*cking pumpkin!!

Man: Eeep!

Linc caught the man's dog.

Linc: Here's your dog and our sake and yours... don't blow this accursed whistle again.

Loona: Are we f**king clear?!?!

Man: Y-Yes! C-crystal clear!

Loona: Good, now take your dog and get the f**k outta here before I get really pissed off!

The man didn't need to be told twice as he grabs the dog and runs away as fast as he could. Once he was gone, Loona picked up the dog whistle and crushed them in her hands, dropping the broken item.

Loona: What a f**king annoyance.

Octavia: A little dog whistle? That's what you were hearing? (Chuckles) Heh, you two are tough hellhounds, not regular dogs. (Jokes) A little whistle hurting your wittle puppy dogs?

Linc: (offended) Hey!

Loona growls at Octavia.

Octavia: It was only a joke. Geez.

Loona: Well, I ain't joking! That really hurt!

Linc: (sees more humans with dogs) Oh Satan here comes more of them!

Loona and Linc run out of the park, Octavia sighed and followed after them. After leaving the park the three now stood in the streets once more.

Loona: Well that was a bust. Man, this is harder than I thought... We don't really enjoy the same stuff.

Octavia: Yeah... We're not exactly the same kinds of demons... (sees Linc is gone) Where did Linc go?

Loona took a whiff of the air, smelling his scent.

Loona: Huh...

Octavia: What?

Loona: Normally Linc doesn't leave any kinda scent behind, but for some reason he's got one now.

Loona and Octavia followed the trail to a large arcade building. Going inside the two saw Linc currently playing a rhythm game with great speed and precision not missing a single note. Loona and Octavia noticed how "In The Zone" he was as tickets continued to flow out of the machine from his perfect score, so they chose to not bother him.

Octavia went to the second floor where most of the adults were, there she was able to get into a massage chair with some headphones listening to gentle sounds of the sea. Allowing her to relax as she had never done so before.

Loona took off to the laser tag section and immediately began making kids cry from how much she was figuratively killing them. No matter how hard they tried, fake gunmanship couldn't match real gunmanship. Didn't help that Loona was actively provoking kids into tears.

Linc watched as his friends enjoyed themselves, each in their own way, he looked at the game he was playing. It felt familiar for some reason, but Linc couldn't put his finger on it. Yet he still felt happy playing the game. After a while he brought his tickets to the counter to try and get something, he had enough to get three high-value items, one for each of them. He noticed the teen currently working there was having a hard time counting all these tickets.

Manager: Hey! Whose turn is it to take out the trash?!

Teen: Uhh! Mine, Sir!

Manager: Well take it out! It's starting to overflow!

The teen began to worry, he wasn't even midway through counting Linc's tickets. Linc then raised a hand.

Linc: You keep counting, I'll take out the trash.

The teen smiled at Linc and continued to count as Linc took the trash bag out of the trash can and went outside then around back to put it in the trash bin.

Linc: (tosses the bag in) There we go-

*SHINK!!!*

Linc was cut off by a bayonet piercing through his chest. Linc turned to see a woman being the cause of the sudden stabbing.

She has a slim and attractive figure. She has light gray hair that is kept in a small braid on the left of her face. The braid is kept together by a cross-shaped pin. She has cross-shaped earrings. Her eyes are narrow and dark gold. She wears nun-clothes, black and white, though she has a split in her dress, revealing a large part of her leg with black and purple stockings.

Nun: (Irish Accent) Dat's wan av you flithy demahns down.

The nun pulled out the bayonet and immediately after cleaved Linc's head off. Without any form of hesitation. Black ooze poured like a fountain from the stump where his head used to be. There were no bones, muscles, or organs inside, however.

Nun: Two more to go.

The nun stepped away as Linc's human disguise fell, revealing his hellhound form. The nun noticed that Linc's body wasn't falling over.

Nun: Hmm? Strange?.. Why doesn't 'e fall? Why does 'e not ignite in blue holy flames and why does 'e bleed black?

Suddenly a snout popped from the stump followed by a full copy of Linc's head sprouting out like a lizard's tail growing back. The black goop flowed to the ground and moved over to his head.

Nun: Well this is interesting.

The black goo then absorbed Linc's severed head and began to form something. A leather hardback book, with what looked to be a swirling black hole on the front with a lock pad

Nun: A book?

On the back of the book, stitched onto it, were the roman numerals for the number 2 with the word "Vol." above it.

Linc: N... Noir...

The lock became undone and the book opened upon the word being said.

This has taken a turn. Who is this nun? Why does Linc have no organs or bones? What is this new Grimoire that Linc has called Noir? Find out next time. To Be Continued.

That's all for now! Bye!
