Another day with our residence in Hell. The Pride Ring no less. So, what to do?

Well, in Blitz, with Loona, drive the van wildly to go pick up Millie but also Moxxie. No, not for work. Just a good old spend some time together and grab something to eat. Decide to go to Ivy café.

Arrive at the area but had to park the van far away. Didn't mind the walk. Talk with each other, or texting. Some point many of the phones came out.

"Look Fizz I'm telling you I got them in the bag. A little push and ill be in this before you know it." Blitz on Face Cam with Fizzarolli.

"Sureeee." Fizz snickered.

"I am! Moxxie you agreed with me. Right?"

"I'm not agreeing to anything."

"You supposed to be on my side."

"I'm with Moxxie on this."

"Shut it, Stolas. You weren't even there. You just want some brownie points." Blitz smooshes his face against Moxxie own. Who also had their phone out on Face Cam to show Stolas, but also Vassago. "You two look like shit."

"And you are too." Stolas snap back. He looks like he hasn't slept. Same with Vassago. The pair in Stolas office to do work, paper and books spread out. "Apparently nobody cares when on house arrest but still want the job done."

"Sounds like you problem."

Moxxie rolled their eyes while Millie giggles by his side. "Frogmouth, Starburst want anything different to bring back?"

"A better nickname."

"Come on Stolas it's not bad!"

"I don't want to hear it from you Starburst! I bet Blitz is nickname better!"

"It sure is! Tell them what it is buddy." Blitz grinning brightly.

"Newt."

"What?!" Blitz hollered as he hears Fizz laughing on the other side. Millie snickering, while Loona pressed her face against her phone to not show the smile. Stolas, Vassago cackling. "It's not that!"

"It is now."

"That's not fair!"

"Have you met me?"

"Got you there."

"Shut it parrot boy this isn't about you-Are you kidding me? I could have parked here! Fizz calls you back later." Blitz attention went elsewhere as he points at the two cars. "What gives Mox? I thought your flower mama gets bitchy when others park there.

Moxxie tilt their head a bit confused. Sure, when Maria brings her truck, they park in the back like the others beside room for delivery trucks. The road was meant for parking but to just drive by. But Ivy, along with others around, made it clear no car parking in this area unless a sign shows it. If you do park get towed, or blown up, stolen, immediately.

The two cars were fancy. Well, not fancy, fancy but shows big money. One of them Moxxie recognize.

Eyes still narrowed at the two cars as they open the door for the three to go.

"Moxxie?" Stolas calling out from the phone.

"I'll call back when we leave." Hangs up while they open the door as them was yelling inside the shop. Lots of yelling.

This wasn't good from what they began to walk into.

Few minutes before they came inside the shop.

Ivy, wish she closed today. Only to not have a headache that double who she is encountering.

It's not like it's a first time someone big came to her café. In fact, over the years were overlords or those with high standings. Then lately you could say Stolas have been here, then with the divorce, and house arrest food, drinks have been delivered to his place. Was surprised someone of another Goetia stance like Prince Vassago came by. The biggest encounter, outside the shop, was the party at Stolas mansion to actually meet not one but two sins so close. At the end treats everyone as fair as can be when entering her café, her home. Unless they do something stupid, annoying the other customers or the random robbery attempts. The usual.

But the Princess of Hell could be the highest of royalty to enter her café.

Didn't know how to feel about it. Kept the smile in place. Even with the girlfriend inside that made a few of the other customer's tense. But then Husker came in next. Then lastly Alastor with that smile.

Maybe it just be here for coffee to go and leave.

Nope. Instead, the Princess began to talk about the hotel. The goal still there for redemption. A pamphlet of the place of the new design. It did look less scrappy, not as run down like before and from video feeds. Plans to get Pride Ring closer to stand together.

Ivy began to feel really, really uncomfortable about the talk. Could see it hitting many others who either looked away or glaring at the princess. About to tell her to leave. Can even leave a pamphlet but to get out. Of course, on cue. Guess who decided to walk inside.

Vox.

Did not want to deal with him and Alastor have a bitch fest. Let alone start a fight inside her café. It was picking up when Vox mention Alastor fight with Adam as he ran off. Alastor snapping back how he still watching behind the screen like coward while others do real work.

Ivy had enough.

"I want both of your parties out of my café." Ivy arms crossed as she watches the two closely. "If you want to go have a showdown take it outside. I don't want to listen to your petty rivals. That include you to your highness."

"Look we're not with him." Charlie, the princess of Hell, getting in between not just Alastor, but Vox as well. The two having a stare down now. Well, Alastor looks like he doing everything to ignore him after the little spat. While Vox was twitching. "Alastor was just showing us places and connections. "

"Connections? Ha! Hate to break it too you. Him and I aren't buddies if he told you that." Arms crossed. "We both only had some interactions because of Rosie that as far as this goes. Or the time I told him no to join him."

"Join him?" Vaggie question as she looks at Alastor who tense up.

"Long time ago when he is building his own little group." Wave it off. "I said no."

"Which was a mistake."

"Ha! No, it's called surviving and not being foolish. Isn't that right Husk."

"Keep me out this crap."

Ivy tsk and shook her head. "You still under that pile of crap."

"I'm right here."

"That you are Alastor." Vox now jump in as he was standing there with a smile. Just enjoying the show and gather intel. Also, wave at a few customers with phones out. Yes, still some of his tech around just not here. He goes to shoved Charlie, Alastor to the side. Ignore the glare from the princess girlfriend besides on alert with that spear out. "Im here for a different reason."

"Like before Selena and I told you Vox. No. We aren't joining or giving up anything to the V's." Ivy snapped at him as her eyes glowing dangerously and her vinelike hair began to get sharper. "We made it clear before. So, why don't you go sale your pitch to someone else."

"We just want to help out."

"So, when are those two going to get on their knees to say sorry to Selena."

"I said help. Im not that kind of miracle worker."

"Aren't you being truthful today."

Vox flipped off Alastor. Then back to business smile to Ivy. "At least what about the other offer?"

"Shove your angelic security up your ass. After that stunt the Princess pulled. I wouldn't be surprised the angels bring out bigger weapons to crush us."

"I mean at least we know their weakness to protect us better." Vox raised is fist up in the air. "Better protection. Safety."

"And power for your hungry dumbasses. You're all the same just like Alastor there, and when that one was still an Overlord." Point at Husk. "So, take your threats and fake smile out before I add your face to be the new tv."

"Don't need to ruin the décor." Alastor chirped in.

"Wait!"  Charlie moves them to the side. As she looks around the place. "Listen I get it. Everyone still scares what could happen. But don't you see we showed them we don't have to be pushed around. A change for all of us. I know it not going to be easy. But I am thinking about the safety for all the sinners here in the Pride ring."

Vaggie eye soften.

Alastor smiles widen.

Husk watches closely.

Vox to busy looking at his fingers.

"For sinners?" Ivy now looking back at the blond. Eyes still serious but being as calm as possible. Not leaving her gaze. A little voice back of her head whispering to not do this. Too not be like them. "Is that all you care about?"

Charlie looks confused but then a bit hopeful. Grab her hand as she smiles at her. "Of course. You're my people what else is there?"

Snatch her hand away as Ivy looks at her in great disappointment. Didn't care about the trouble, confused look Charlie was giving her. How could she, only, just think about them?

On cue the bell ding as the door opens up inside the café.

"Wow this is not the show down I was expecting."

"Husk, I thought you were guarding the door?"

"No, I'm not."

"I supposed that fair or at least our resident bodyguard." Alastor smile at Vaggie as she glared at him. While standing behind Charlie as she watches Vox closely, along with anyone else inside to bring problems. Now the new demons inside the place.

"What kind of mess you brought Ivy gal." Blitz staring wide eye with the other who all here inside. He whistles crazily. "Must be selling some good ice-drinks today. Unless it the drugs."

Ivy kept eye close as possible with these five. "Sadly, they're not hear being paying customers to either side."

"Hold up you sell drugs?" Vaggie look at her.

Roll her eyes at the judgement look. "I just plant and grow them. Which I'm not giving up. So, a hard passed on your hotel to change."

"I mean as long they can help with medicine." Charlie chuckle awkwardly.

"Yeah, great medicine she won't share." Blitz huffed and then it clicks as he double looks at Charlie. "Hold the horses. Your actually here and not some cosplayer."

"What?"

"Huh. Cool." Loona took a picture of Charlie. "You should kick people assess more on tv like you did with Killjoy."

Charlie rubbed her head awkwardly. "I mean that wasn't the plan."

"Deserved it." Vaggie muttered under the breath.

"Well, Miss Killjoy was hired by another boring killjoy." Alastor grinned bigger as he sees Vox look ready to snap at him. Good always funny to see him loose his shit. Not being this calm, collective trying to hide from other. Break just like the rest of them. Well, not him it takes a lot to get him to snap. Charlie father and Adam on the higher list compared to Vox.

"Not the Salesman."

Neck crack with the rest of his body locks up tightly.

No.

Then with whatever kind of muscles he had left turn his head to look at the one who said that. A familiar imp in view standing by the new customers who came inside but his eyes lock on that one. "Well, well we gotta stop meeting like this."

"Hold up." Blitz goes back and forth to look at them. How is Moxxie meeting these demons? "You two know each other?"

"Why of course were friends!"

"No, were not."

Vox watch the interaction. Watch how Alastor kept that smile up but his attention now on the imp. He snickered. "Al, I thought you had better class with your surroundings."

"If you're trying to sell this product. Not buying." Moxxie look Vox up and down. "A used car battery would last longer than this walking toaster."

Record scratch.

"Holy shit." Husker gapped.

Vox twitch at the disrespect. "Do you know who I am?"

Roll their eyes. "No, I don't. Why don't you and everyone start wearing name tags."

"You. You're joking right?" Vox blink as he stared down at them. Began to look around the shop. "Am I being prank? Is this your doing Alastor? Did you hire them to say this to me?"

"You expect me to waste my precious time thinking about ruining you?" Alastor now very happy for a few seconds to see this. Sure, his body screaming at him to run away before something new breaks. Or throws up.

"Yes!"

"Mmmm nope this all of them."

"Yeah, their being seriously." Millie spoke up.

"Very much." Loona said next.

"Aren't they a riot." Blitz grinned and he notice the pamphlet on Ivy counter. Zoom over to read but confused. Look at Ivy. "I thought you're not into this junk?"

"Im not."

"Good. Don't need to waste away about." Wave it off. "Not like the high holy pricks will actually listen especially after that stunt."

"I um giving them time to mourn is all." Charlie smile awkwardly as they all just stare at her. "I mean he is still the First Man. Don't agreed what he done to all of us. But both sides have lost many precious ones."

The princess mind went to Sir Pentious, Dazzle and then the cannibals. A little moment of silence for even the angels. One time Adam as she really didn't want this.

"I wonder if Heaven was able to watch that that fight."

"Yeah!"

"I still have the one with the human being stabbed by the janitor on repeat."

Charlie wince at what she is hearing around. There were plenty of those online. Got disturb with the few of the comment about her father choice of word to Adam. Then sad with the deaths around

Vox smile big at that. "That a good question. Are they able to watch stuff from down here miss Vaggie. Bet they were high ratings from the fight."

"No, we don't." Clench her teeth. Not like all of Heaven knew about it. After this though a possibility unless to hide it. "We could but we don't. Like when we watch Angel Dust in the court room."

"Boring."

"Well, that what Heaven is boring."

"Um Vaggie it wasn't all boring."

"Charlie we just saw what we wanted to see until the court room happen."

"Should have recorded that."

"Hold up. Hold up. Yall said you watch Angel Dust in the court room." Millie pointed out what she just said.

"I mean we did but not his shows! Just watching him to show the rest that Angel Dust could change. Which he did show good moments." Charlie explained and went further into details about the court room. Really felt like she was ranting even a little down when she found out. Then explain what Heaven was like and what she done. Maybe this is a good thing. Explain over another tv setting or live stream. Yes, she may still have problems with Heaven but she still wants to work with them. Give her people that luxury to live in Heave. Where it was safe.

Peaceful.

Perfect in its on ways.

Everyone was a bit quiet, wide eye at her direction.

"This bitch is going to get us all kill."

"Will everyone shut up and be happy! There hasn't been a extermination! There is no Adam anymore to slaughter your asses! Be damn lucky Charlie thinking about you lost souls!" Vaggie yells thrown her arms in the air. As she did that she let go of her weapon like she threw it.

Her angelic spear.

The spear was close. So, very close to impaling the side of Ivy face if her hair didn't shield the side of her cheek. Along with Jason grab her to pull from the spot.

"What the hell? Watch where you throw that!"

"Could have poke an eye out!"

One minute just minding their business. Mind focus elsewhere after telling the car battery and salesman off. Fine with that. Focus what to bring back to the others and can continue the rest of their day. Maybe be sneaky to give Striker a quick kiss. It's not like they weren't paying attention to the rest of the conversation it just didn't matter to them. Until they saw Ivy be pulled away quickly from that spear. Moxxie pupils lock on at the spear that plunge to the wall.

The spear that almost hit Ivy.

Ivy who about to be married to Maria.

Who saved Octavia.

Who went against not one but two Goetia who were pain in the asses for Stolas, and at times with them too.

Who got them to open up just like Maria.

Who almost got stab by an angelic weapon.

Could almost have lost their family.

Reach out to snatch the hair.

SLAM!

Vaggie not sure what happen. This was supposed to be for Charlie. This whole going to other areas about bringing clients in and talking about the hotel. Backfire as this Ivy not wanting any part with them but including the tv overlord. One minute losing her cool with Alastor, then with Vox talking to Charlie like that. Husk not helping out much as he was just standing there observing until he told her to snap out of it. Then everyone else inside being rude. Was throwing her spear like that smart? Of course not! It was stupid. Can already hear Adam voice smack telling her on such a stupid mistake. Fuck him.

Don't need fingers pointed at her.

Then it all went fast.

Next, thing she know her hair was grabbed, very tightly at the end, and must have been pick up. Thrown outside the café all the way to the other side of the rode into a building. The back of her head collided to the wall, and the strain on her back.

Fuck, that hurt.

Fuck, she wasn't even on guard who ever did that.

Vaggie groan as she slowly tries to push herself off the ground.

SWOOSH!

The spear went straight to the side of her face. Wasn't able to move but felt the blade slice her cheek. Then plunge to the wall. Her one eye widens at how close that was. Wonder maybe if it was on purpose instead of finishing the deed.

"Vaggie!" Charlie was running towards her as she got to her side. "Are you okay? Your cheek."

"What happen?" Vaggie whispered as she was trying to get herself to move. Got to protect Charlie. "Who threw me?"

Charlie wince as she had a napkin out to pressed against her cheek.

"Who threw me- "Cover her mouth as she starts to throw up. Fuck!

Charlie panic as she puts her back carefully to calm her down. Focus on her didn't hear the commotion inside. Until the voices began to get louder.

"Woah! Woah take it easy! Back away I prefer to not shock someone! How about you stare into my screen and relax- "

"Indeed, how about we just calm down once you done looking at his ugly mud. Don't want to mess with the Radio-

CRASH!

Both Alastor and Vox were thrown out the door rolling to the ground at the same time. Fell side by side by the other. As both pair try to get up didn't see the smaller figure come out the café. The two overlords each choke up with blood spitting out when hooves, on each chest, slammed down on them. The wind knocks out of them, with bones being crush by such a little imp.

Fuck not again. Alastor cursing inside his head. Felt like his organs trying to escape to not deal with that pain from before. His shadow tries to warn him to not make comment but nope. Ignore the warning signs or how the imp head slowly look at him when they threw that spear.

Vox was no better as it been a while, he has been manhandled and physical pain. This is not what he signs up for today! Sure, some interesting intel on standby but not this. Then he made a little snide comment with Alastor towards Ivy. It was harmless! Sort of. Kind a? Which clearly didn't matter to the imp. At least he not the only one who getting their ass, well body part, crushed to the ground. Fuck these hooves hurt and they weren't wearing shoes!

"Stay out of this area." Moxxie tone cold as he looks down at the both of them. Put a bit of extra pressure in their hoof. Not carrying if they are breaking a rib or body part being crushed. If anything, these two, along with eyepatch, should be happy they won't destroy their souls.

That how close their breaking point is. Still, able to keep some form of semblancy of holding back. Plus, a tiny part of them don't want to fully reveal how dangerous they truly are to the ones inside. Even after going so far opening up.

"Come back again I get rid of all five of you."

"Is that a threat you little crap talking-"Vox head slammed back to the ground. Hoof no longer on their chest but pressed to the screen. Can feel the cracks forming. It wasn't pleasant along with the static they are getting.

"One warning." Press deeper into the fragile glass as he watches the face glitch up. Not even bothered by the current of the static with the electricity. It felt like a pinch to them. Look back over at the other one with their other hoof kept in place. The tail lifts up the salesman staff. Very tightly like ready to break it.

The smile growing wider but the eyes showing the real emotions. A split second of panic.

Good.

Drop the staff. The imp was soon off the two overlords. Goes back to the café direction.

"Wait!"

Moxxie not waiting as they open the door.

Charlie rush faster with her hand so close to touch their shoulder. Until it was caught by Blitz in a handshake as he let Moxxie walk inside.

"Hey me again princess. My little cute buddy really pulled a amazing move don't you think? Like wow I thought they were great with guns and leg strength. Really hiding the muscles. So, if they let them go, I would take that cue to leave now." Blitz took a step forward while still shaking her hand. He let the door closed behind. When he saw her ready to touch them from behind, he quickly zooms in. He did not want his hearing to crushed thank you very much. "Look not everyone in there very happy with your little talk. Plus, your girlfriend now on my buddy hit list for pulling that move with the spear."

"She didn't mean too." Charlie can't believe how this is turning out. Didn't want any fight too happen but then things just went haywire. "And he just sneaks up on her and just- "

"Was protecting what they see is theirs." Blitz eyes narrowed as he kept his stance. Stand his ground just like before anyone of higher power. "Just like you would have done too."

Couldn't rebut that claim.

"Plus, princess you shouldn't be in this area even if it your, and big daddy home. Pride or not." Blitz opens his arm out. "This is one the spots of the neighborhood that hellborns, sinners are chilled to hangout. Still death, robbers and all that. Like less assholes about being species racist. I mean peak sakes we don't give a fuck about some redemption crap since were not former humans. Plant lady even made it very clear not wanting it. Not that I can blame her with- "

"Blitz gets inside now." Loona came outside to lean against the glass. Her phone still out.

"Coming Loonie." Blitz wave at her and back to Charlie. "So, have fun with your hotel and dragging those looser body out. Byeeeeeeeeeeeee."

Already back inside. Then Husk was pushed out the café. He blinks.

"Husk are you okay?"

"Compared to those three. We got lucky not being scratch up." Unless you count the tension of murder inside.

The princess bit the inside of her cheek as she goes to approach the shop. "Maybe if I just-

"Charlie." Husk goes to Alastor side. Vox was able to crawl to the car and get inside. Already drove away. "We should get in the car too and go."

"But this was all a terrible miscommunication and Vaggie didn't mean to do that. "

"They don't care." The gambler shuddered. Out of everyone he saw when he bothered to pay attention and things were going down the hill. A fight possible will happen with that weapon thrown. It was that look in that short imp eyes. How they shove their phone into the other imp as they go to grabbed the back of Vaggie hair fast, with no trouble to thrown her like she was nothing. A part of him could have step up but every instinct inside told him to stay back. This is not their fight. Best that he did after just tossing Alastor and Vox out next. That little show made him feel a bit please. It was humiliation again for Alastor but also Vox. "That little imp took out three of them. Those plants ready to eat us. Also, were not getting a good crowd."

Stare at the vines outside the building. Actually, looking at the dead looking vines how they began to grow wide, with the spikes coming and sharp mouth began to form. Want to eat them. Then to look at those inside the café window. Many not given them pleasant look. Those who were outside not even given warm looks. We're those a bunch of rats near an alleyway swarming.

Charlie cursed as she walks back over to Vaggie and help her stand up. Wince seeing her body just trembling. "Shit."

Alastor face twitching as he leans against Husk. This was humiliating but it was good to see Vox got a similar one. Same with dear Vaggie. Yet, it was the same imp. Who was closer to Ivy than he thought.

No, choice but to leave another part of Pride that didn't want a part of the hotel.

Ivy rubbed her face as she took a deep breath. Her hair relaxes so no flower buds will appear. That was too close. Glance at the customers, along with Moxxie companions, who were being very quiet. Tension to calm down. Besides the noise from the background on the tv.

What was Moxxie doing?

"So, are all of these on sale or just certain ones a special deal?" Moxxie asked as he casually looking at the bakery treats. So, casual about it like it was any other day with the killing intent turn off. Jason just open-mouth stunned as they nod. The former camp counselor just automatically fills up the box with whatever they picked. Practically everyone just staring at Moxxie at what they did not too long ago once things cool down.

This is imp has no care at all about the consequences.

The owner eyes soften up as she reaches over to ruffle her son head. Got a little scowl but not pulling away. Stay in place to show they were here.

"Can I have my coffee now?"

"Yes, Mister P."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

Yeah, Moxxie/Error, again, doesn't care who you are. Wouldn't done all of that if Vaggie didn't do that stunt. Heck, while they did listen to Charlie they don't care. If anything, they thought both sides were flaw. Now if that was Maria in Ivy spot it would not be good for Vaggie at all. Like she would have gone bye-bye.

Blitz learns, like the others, to not touch Moxxie out of know where. Or else it screaming time. Along with Loona good save timing to not mention Ivy engagement to Maria. Don't need that attention. But who knows what could happen now.

Husker instincts save his ass.

Yes, Vox you get a similar pain of suffering like Alastor felt. Only our resident reindeer dealt with it worse.

Well, that was a fun interaction and show of power. Yes, a lot of the characters mention in this chapter was from the show announcement of the pair going to Prime. Mister P was that mosquito/fly sinner that was on past stream from the creator.

Note: I forgot to mention this and add it. Plus, I really don't want to go back to change the chapter. But Ivy has told Moxxie at some point that she knew about the magic she saw. Like after the trial and gone to see the others chapter. So, pretend you already know. I might right a little something short. But Ivy does know.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
