Chapter 96: Octavia's Family Bonding Quest Part 1

One evening in the Goetia Estate, Octavia is in her bedroom, listening to her music while Mimmy is sleeping next to her. Octavia turns to see Mimmy and smile, then she tucks her in with her old childhood blanket. Octavia looks at her phone to see the many pictures she has with Loona, and her dad, and a few other childhood pictures. Soon, she stops to see a photo of herself with Stolas, Blitz, and Mimmy. Octavia shows a small smile on her face. Despite the divorce, she knows how happy her father is with Blitz.

Octavia sighs, "But I barely know Blitz. I mean, dad does talk about Blitz a lot. About how kind, caring, hard working, and despite being a bit reckless, he cares about others." And gently rubs Mimmy's head, "Including being a good father. But still, other than what I've been told about him from dad, Loona, and the others, I barely know him."

Suddenly, Octavia hears a knock on the door.

Followed by her dad's voice, "Via, mind if I come in?"

"Uh sure," Octavia says.

The door opens and Stolas walks into the room.

"How are you and Mimmy doing?" Stolas asks.

"We're doing fine. Mimmy fell asleep though," Octavia says.

"I'm glad to see you two are getting along," Stolas says.

Octavia giggles, "Yeah. Mimmy and I have been getting along. She's kind of like a little sister."

"I'm glad to hear it," Stolas says.

Then Octavia asks, "So dad, what's going on?"

"Well nothing much, I just want to let you know that tomorrow I'll be away for a while, probably for the whole day," Stolas says.

"Oh okay," Octavia says.

"Oh you don't need to worry, Blitz, Barbie, and Mimmy will be here to keep you company," Stolas says.

"I guess," Octavia says, sounding a bit skeptical and reluctant.

Noticing it, Stolas asks, "Via, is there something wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong, but um, well... it's difficult to explain, but it's about Blitz," Octavia says.

"What do you mean?" Stolas asks.

"Well, I've been thinking about it for a while, but I want to try to get to know Blitz more," Octavia says.

"Really now?" Stolas asks.

"Yes," Octavia answers with a nod, "I've been thinking about it for a while, and I want to get to know Blitz a lot more. I know you and the others told me a lot about Blitz, even Mimmy. However, I want to be able to get to know him on my own terms."

"I think I understand. You want to be able to get to know Blitz," Stolas says.

"That's right," Octavia says.

Stolas thinks for a minute and says, "Well Via, I think this is actually good timing. I'll be gone for a few meetings in other rings, possibly for the whole day. You can use the opportunity to spend the whole day with Blitz and Mimmy."

"I guess you're right," Octavia says, "But what will we do? I'm not sure we have that much in common, except for Mimmy."

"I'm sure you all will figure something out. And spending the day tomorrow will give you the opportunity to decide where to go," Stolas says.

"Yeah. You're right," Octavia says.

"There you go. I'm sure Blitz will love to spend the day with you if you ask. Also, since it's the weekend, I'm sure you, Mimmy, and Blitz will have fun together," Stolas says.

Octavia giggles, "I guess you're right. I mean, after dating Blitz for a while and Blitz working at I.M.P, I didn't get to spend that much time with him. Also, I'm a bit reluctant, especially since divorce and well, Mom was giving you and Blitz trouble."

"Don't worry about your mother. Yes. Things have been complicated with her, but at least she's out of our lives now," Stolas says.

Octavia snicker, "I guess divorcing mom was for the best, especially how you had a complicated relationship. In the end, I'm actually glad you ended up meeting Blitz."

"I'm glad too. Truth be told, I do also wish you and Blitz can spend time together, so I have to think this is good timing," Stolas says.

"Yeah," Octavia says, and turns to Mimmy, "And I'm sure Mimmy will be happy to spend time with me and Blitz too. She really looks at me like an older sister, and I really grew attached to her like she's my little sister."

"I'm so glad to hear it. Well, I better get going. I need to get my grimoire from Sarge tonight and early in the morning I'll be off to attend some meetings and other royal duties," Stolas says, and soon takes his leave.

"Sure dad, good luck on your meetings," Octavia says.

The next day in the morning, Octavia is fast asleep in her bed. She soon wakes up as she sits up with a yawn. She gets out of bed, gets dressed, brushes her head and leaves the room. Octavia walks over to the room Mimmy is sleeping. She opens the door to see Mimmy is fast asleep in her room.

Just then, he hears Blitz's voice, "Morning Octavia."

Octavia turns to see Blitz up and dressed as he walks towards Mimmy's room.

"Morning Blitz," Octavia says.

"Good morning, Octavia," Blitz says, "How are you doing?"

"I'm doing fine. I assumed dad already left," Octavia says.

"Yeah. Stolas has a lot of royal duties today, and said that he'll be back before dinner," Blitz says.

"Yeah. From what dad explained, he'll be gone for the whole day," Octavia says.

"That's right," Blitz says. "I just came to check on Mimmy."

"Mimmy is doing fine. I just want to check to see how she's doing," Octavia says.

"Thank you," Blitz says, "So then, since it will be the three of us, what do you want to do today?"

"Hmm," Octavia says, trying to think of an idea. "Well, there are some places I've been meaning to go. I can show her to Stylist Occults, there are a few toys and other stuff that Mimmy might like. And maybe we could go out for lunch."

"I think it will be nice. Mimmy will certainly enjoy it," Blitz says.

In the room, Mimmy begins to stir a bit and slowly wakes up from her sleep. She rubs her eyes and twitches her ears as she wakes up from her slumber. Soon, Blitz and Octavia walk into the room.

"Morning Mimmy," Blitz says.

"Morning daddy. Good morning, Via," Mimmy says.

"Morning Mimmy," Octavia says.

Then Blitz says, "Alright sweetie, let's get you dressed and get some breakfast, we're going to have a fun day today."

"Does Via get to come?" Mimmy asks.

"That's right. My dad will be out all day so it will be the three of us today," Octavia says.

"Yay," Mimmy happily says.

Sometime later, after getting dressed and having breakfast, Blitz, Octavia, and Mimmny leave the mansion and are heading out for some time together. For Octavia, it is to better know Blitz and Mimmy, mainly Blitz.

The three soon walk out of the estate, and Blitz calls out, "Taxi!"

The Taxi comes to a stop in front of them. Blitz and the girls climb in the taxi and it drives off to their destination. Unknown to them, a black car is driving from behind. In the car, there are two demons, both of them being Imps wearing dark clothes and they both look very shady.

The one with the long white hair looks through the binoculars to see Blitz's horns from the back window.

He smirks, "There's our target. And it doesn't seem that the prince or any of the I.M.P employees are with him."

The one with the bold hair and a broken left horn says, "Yeah, but it appears that he has the Goetia Princess and the little Hell kitten with him." as he drives the car.

"I'm sure we can get those girls. I'm sure Toxbane would want to use them to help continue his research, especially the Imp who somehow survived the serum," The white haired Imp says.

"Yeah. But we need to make sure we get the Imp and the girls without raising any attention," The broken horn Imp says.

"I'm sure we'll get the job done without raising too much attention," The white haired Imp says with an evil smirk.

The two demons with dark intentions drive down the street, following the taxi.

Sometime later, Blitz and the girls get out of the taxi and arrive at their destination, a large mall that is of course a red structure with glass windows at the front.

"Well, here we are," Octavia says.

"It's really big," Mimmy says.

"Yeah. And I thought some of the malls on Earth are big," Blitz says.

"Really?" Octavia asks, curious.

"Yeah. There are some malls that have more than three floors," Blitz says.

"That's big," Mimmy says.

Soon, the three begin walking into the mall, unaware that the two Imps are secretly watching over them from the car and planning to go in after them.

Shortly after, the three arrive in the Stylish Occult, they have clothes, accessories, taxidermy, and other stuff in the store.

"Wow. There are so much stuff," Mimmy says, amazed.

"I know. I'm sure there are a few things you might like, but I plan to get one of those figures," Octavia says.

"You really like taxidermy figures, huh," Blitz replies.

"Well, I have a little collection of it, but yeah. I like them," Octavia says.

Then asks, "What about you?"

"Well, I'm not that keen on taxidermy, but I do like some stuffed animals, especially horses. Of course, I respect your interest, though, it does seem kind of odd that people like to collect stuffed animals that used to be part of animals," Blitz says.

"Well, with you working with animals all your life, I can understand it might make you uncomfortable," Octavia says.

"A little, but like I said, if you like it I'm okay with it," Blitz says.

Suddenly, they hear Mimmy's voice, "Daddy, look at the cute hat."

Octavia and Blitz look to see Mimmy putting on a black beanie hat that has a red spider lily on it.

Blitz giggles, "That's a very cute beanie hat."

"Can we get it?" Mimmy asks.

"Sure," Blitz says.

"Yay!" Mimmy happily says.

Octavia giggles, "You sure are a cutie."

Mimmy giggles.

Blitz turns to Octavia, "So Octavia, what would you like to get?"

Octavia then picks up a figure of a stuffed raccoon. Only this one appears to have horns and red eyes.

"That's an off raccoon," Blitz says.

Octavia chuckles, "It's a Hell Racoon. I suspect it's different from the racoons you're familiar with."

"Yeah. I'm still trying to keep up with the differences between Hell and Earth. Although, they are in a way similar, but have a lot of differences as well," Blitz says.

Blitz then walks to the register with Mimmy's hat and places it on the table. Then Octavia places her figure on the table.

Octavia is about to bring out her wallet, but Blitz says, "It's okay Octavia, I don't mind paying for it."

"Are you sure?" Octavia asks.

"I don't mind at all," Blitz says.

"As long as you're sure," Octavia says.

Blitz then pays for the girls things and the three walk out of the store together.

"So Blitz, just curious what was your childhood like, on Earth, I mean?" Octavia asks.

"Well, I must admit, it wasn't always easy, but I still have my family and friends from the circus. We all had kinds of fun, performing and seeing the people smile, all of us are having fun with the performances. Sure, we have our share of hardship, especially me. I'm very different from everyone else, but they accepted me the way I am. It took time for everyone to get used to me, and many people got used to my appearance," Blitz says.

He then chuckles with a grin, "Of course, over time, people assumed that I'm just someone in a costume or just has some odd deformity or something."

"I can imagine, but here in Hell, you fit right in," Octavia says.

"Maybe, but I still feel that I don't exactly fit in Hell," Blitz says.

"What do you mean?" Octavia asks.

"Well, it's a bit hard to explain, but despite me being a demon, I know that I act more kind hearted, hardworking, and don't want to hurt people. And I can get pretty emotional when people try to hurt others," Blitz says.

"I remember that you got really upset when one of the gangsters held me captive," Octavia says. Then also remembers, "And dad and Barbie told me about how you tried to stand up to Mammon."

Blitz blushes sheepishly, "They told you about that, huh?"

"Yeah. I was shocked that you tried to stand up to a Sin of all demons," Octavia says.

"Well yeah, Mammon was trying to force Fizzarolli to perform, even though he's been feeling very pressured to live up to Mammon's expectation," Blitz explains, "When I tried to stand up to him, Mammon didn't like it."

"Yeah. Randall even said you were on the verge of using your magic on him," Octavia says.

"Yeah," Blitz says, embarrassed, "Not the best choice."

"Well, what you did was very reckless, but I did support your courage to stand up for someone, especially for your friends," Octavia says.

Blitz blushes a bit, "Thanks."

"Yeah. Daddy is really amazing," Mimmy says. "And I tried to get the mean Mammon away from daddy."

"You what?!" Octavia asks, shocked.

"Uh yeah. Mimmy tried to get Mammon to let me go, I got scared and worried that he might try to do something to her. It made me even more mad that I almost attacked him," Blitz explains.

"Yikes. I guess like father, like daughter," Octavia says.

"I don't know about that," Blitz says.

"Maybe, but you're also like Mr. Stolas too. You both are kind to daddy, me, and others. You're not like your mommy, she's mean," Mimmy says.

She lets out a huff with her arms crossed and turns away.

Octavia whispers to Blitz, "Do you think that Mimmy has a grudge against my mom. I know she used to be a normal house kitten before she turned into a Hell Kitten, but I can't help but feel she has a deep grudge against her."

"Well, your mom kicked Mimmy when she's a kitten, not to mention practically harassed me and Stolas and tried to kill us," Blitz whispers.

"You do have a point. It's still worrisome," Octavia says.

"It is, but I'm sure as long as we keep on our toes, we don't need to worry about it," Blitz says, "Besides, we haven't seen Striker since the last time."

"Maybe, but you were brave enough to be able to fight him. I'm no fighter so I wouldn't know," Octavia says.

"That's okay. I wasn't too much of a fighter until Sarge and the others taught me," Blitz says.

Mimmy then asks, "Where do we go next, daddy?"

Blitz looks at the time on his phone, "Well, we still have some time before lunch, so we could go to a few stores before lunch."

Mimmy reaches her hands out towards Octavia, "Via, can I sit on your shoulders."

"Sure," Octavia says.

She then picks up Mimmy and allows her to sit on the shoulders. Mimmy and Octavia smile with glee as Blitz smiles to see the girls are getting along. The two Imps from the black car continue to secretly spy on them.

"Well, it looks like they're having a little shopping spree together," The long white haired Imp says.

The other Imp says, "Seems that it will soon be a good opportunity to grab him and the girls." and then brings out his phone, "I'll call the others."

"Yeah. They can help create a ruckus, and while that's happening, we can grab the Imp and the kids," The white haired Imp says, and holds out what looks like a grenade, "And this is how we're going to take them away swiftly."

The two demons show smirks on their faces with an evil plan in mind.

Sometime later, Blitz and the girls are having lunch in the food court.

Octavia soon asks, "So um, Blitz, I know it's sudden to ask, but what do you think of my dad?"

"You mean, Stolas?" Blitz asks.

Blitz soon says, "Your dad is a very nice demon. He's smart, kind, kind hearted, and he's also fun. Despite him being giddy, he's very sweet. And he's a caring father to you, that's always a good sign."

"You really think that about my dad, huh?" Octavia asks.

"That's right. Those are the good qualities that I like about him. Even though our first meeting was all because Randall convinced me to sneak into your home," Blitz says.

Octavia giggles, "I remember. Randall is practically the reason why you both ended up having their first kiss."

"Yeah. If Fizzarolli or any other find out about this, I'll never be able to live that down," Blitz says.

"I can imagine. In the end, it ended up being kind of funny," Octavia says.

Blitz blushes a bit and says, "Yeah. It's kind of embarrassing."

Mimmy giggles, "but you and Stolas like each other. You even started dating."

"That's true," Blitz says.

"And then you both will get married and love each other for ever, and ever, and ever and ever," Mimmy says with a big smile on his face.

Blitz blushes a lot and says, "I uh, I don't think we're ready for that just yet. I mean, both Octavia's dad and I are a couple, and have a good relationship, but I don't think we're ready for this occasion quite yet."

"Maybe, but who knows, it might happen," Octavia says.

Mimmy giggles, "And if our daddies get married, we can become sisters."

"I suppose," Octavia says, and blushes a bit, "I mean, there are some times that I wish I could have a brother or sister. I've been an only child my life. I do have Loona, but she's more like an older sister figure."

Mimmy giggles with a smile on her face. Blitz and Octavia begin giggling.

Octavia says in thought, "Spending time with Blitz, even though it just started, but it helped me understand Blitz. He's not like any other demons I've met. It's still going to take some time for me to understand him, but I can see that he's a kind person, and loves my dad so much. I can understand why my dad has fallen in love with him." Then grows concerned, "But still, they still have ways to go for their relationship. Especially what I was told about my mother's stunt."

Around the food court, many different people are chatting and having lunch. Suddenly, they begin to hear strange sounds and some even look down, and become confused. Some of them even stand up and grow concerned and worried, fearing the objects rolling on the floor.

Suddenly, they begin to hear murmur and voices being raised, causing the three to turn their heads to the source.

"What's going on?" Octavia asks.

"I'm not sure," Blitz says and stands up from his seat, "But something seems to be up."

Many of the demons are standing up in concern to see small black balls rolling on the floor. Just then, one of them explodes and smoke spreads into the room, causing everyone to yelp and scream in fright.

"Did you see that?!" One Imp yelps.

"I did, one of those strange black balls have exploded," A Hellhound says, shocked.

A succubus mother picks up her children, "I'm getting out of here."

Soon, many of the demons begin to run away as they gather their children, loved ones, and others hurry away as more of the black balls explode. The demons continue running away as the balls explode and smoke spreads into the room.

Blitz picks up Mimmy as he says, "We better get out of here!"

Octavia grabs the shopping bags, "I agree. This doesn't seem very safe."

"Come on, we better hurry," Blitz says.

Soon, Blitz and Octavia quickly take their leave as everyone else begins to do the same. Unknown to them, the two Imps from before watches from the corner near the restroom and evilly smirks to each other to see the plan is working. Then they take their leave to take care of the next part of their plan.

Meanwhile, Blitz and Octavia continue running through the halls of the mall along with the crowd as they try to get through the crowd. Blitz is also holding Octavia's hand as her other hand holds the bags.

Mimmy hugs Blitz, "Daddy, I'm scared."

"It's okay Mimmy. Everything will be okay," Blitz says.

Then turns to Octavia, "Are you okay, Octavia?"

"I'm okay," Octavia answers, "But what's going on?"

"I don't know. From what everyone is saying, they said strange small balls explode dark smoke and spread across the food court," Blitz says.

"Smoke bombs?" Octavia questions, shocked.

"That's what everyone is saying," Blitz says, "For now, we need to get out of you."

The pair continue running and soon everyone is running out of the mall from different directions. Blitz and Octavia are able to get out of the mall as well and quickly ducks into an alley as the stampede continues on. Blitz and Octavia take a deep breath and let out a sigh in relief.

"That was too close," Octavia says.

"Yeah. It was too close for comfort," Blitz says.

Then asks in concern, "Are you and Mimmy okay?"

"I'm okay," Octavia says.

"I'm okay daddy," Mimmy says, and looks very scared, "That was really scary."

Blitz comforts Mimmy, "It's okay Mimmy. Everything will be okay."

He then says, "Still, I wonder what with the bombs and such."

"I'm not sure. It's probably just a gang, or possibly a prank," Octavia says.

"Maybe," Blitz says.

Then turns to Octavia, "Come on girls, It's probably a good time for us to head somewhere else, or perhaps head home."

"Actually, we can head to the park. I'm sure Mimmy would like to play there. I used to go there when I was little," Octavia says.

"Can we daddy?" Mimmy asks.

"Sure. We can go there for a little fun, and maybe we can grab some ice cream," Blitz says.

"Thanks Blitz," Octavia says.

"Yay! Ice cream!" Mimmy happily says.

But before the three can take their leave they hear a strange sound.

"What's that?" Mimmy asks.

"I don't know," Blitz says.

Then Octavia looks down to notice, "Look."

Soon, they see a grenade rolling down towards them, and stop in front of Blitz.

"What's that?" Mimmy asks.

Concerned, Octavia says, "It looks like a grenade."

Blitz passes Mimmy to Octavia and gets in front of the girls to protect them, "You girls stay behind me. I don't want this thing to blow up on you guys."

Suddenly, the grenade begins to spread smoke from a small tube and at the three. The three begin coughing.

"What is that?" Octavia asks.

"This gas really smells," Blitz says.

Mimmy sneezes, "It smells yucky."

Soon, Mimmy begins to let out a yawn and begins to get drowsy.

"Mimmy...?" Blitz questions.

Just then, Blitz begins to get drowsy as well and collapses with Blitz in his arms.

"Blitz...!" Octavia says, worried.

Soon, Octavia hears footsteps and turns to see the two Imps walking towards them.

"Wh-who are you...?" Octavia asks, confused and getting drowsy."

"Nothing you need to worry about princess," The white haired Imp says. "You and your Imp and Hell Kitten are coming with us for a little ride."

Moments later, Octavia collapses on the floor and loses consciousness.

"Well, it looks like our smoke grenade does wonder," The Imp with the broken horn says.

"Yeah. Come on, Toxbane needs us to reach one of our secret hideouts. We'll need to get there before anyone notices," The Imp with the long hair says.

And with that, the two mysterious Imps pick up the three demons, and place them in the back seats of the car. Then they buckle their seat belts and cover them with the blankets so it won't raise suspicions. Then the pair go in the front seats of the cars and drive away. And now, Blitz, Octavia, and Mimmy have been kidnapped.
