I.M.P Headquarters

Blitzo was getting ready to officially start the workday, but the first thing he needed to do was call back someone who left a message for him. Loona began playing on her phone, as usual, but Blitzo wasn't about to miss a call for a potential assassination. He retraces the number and waits for them to pick up.

"Katie Killjoy, what do you want?" The lady on the other end says in an annoyed tone. The tall imp's eyes light up.

"Oh! Miss Killjoy! How can we help you?" He asks in an enthusiastic tone.

"Remember that kid your buddy was supposed to wound?" She asks, causing his smile to vanish.

"Yeah? Did he not do a good job?" He asks as Katie slams her fist on the table.

"Oh he landed a good shot, but he didn't do it until after the kid shot Tom!" She shouts in frustration. Blitzo rolls his eyes.

"According to my shooter, you pushed Mr. Trench into the gun before it was fired." He then pauses for a moment and frowns a bit. "What did you call us for last night? Can you get to the point please?" Katie sighs and glares.

"Ever since that kid shot Tom, the ratings on the 666 news have fallen! I need you to kill him so we have an interesting story. A story of how the king and queen of Hell have been avenged by their killer falling!" Blitzo rolls his eyes.

"Okay, I understand a kid shooting a reporter, but are you really convinced that same guy is responsible for the deaths of the two royal overlords?" Katie slams her desk.

"Yes I'm sure! The young royal duke is coming on the show later to talk about that to everyone, and receiving word that the killer is gone will be huge for the news station!" She shouts, causing Blitzo to move the phone away from his ear a bit as she yells into it. He then lowers his eyebrows.

"Fine, but what's in it for us? Are you actually willing to pay for a full body this time?" He asks. The newswoman thinks for a moment and then smiles.

"Tell you what, how about a billboard?" She asks as Blitzo's eyes widen.

"I'm listening." He says with slight enthusiasm.

"You have that kid dead by the afternoon, and I'll make sure your business is on the cover in the largest billboard in Hell!" Katie says in a persuasive tone.

"SOLD!" Blitzo says as he hangs up the phone and slams it down in excitement. Just in time, Millie and Moxxie enter the room. The taller imp turns around quickly. "Guys, we have a job!"

Heaven

The moment Douglas wakes up, he's back in the clouds outside the Golden Gate. The oversized judge is there, and this time he's accompanied by a small boy with an orange shirt and a blue hat he's wearing backward.

"Judge Tytus?" Douglas asks. "What am I doing here? I wasn't killed in my sleep, was I?" The judge shakes his head.

"No son you were not." He says as he grabs the list from him. "I just need to make a couple of adjustments to your list." He says as he grabs a pencil and starts writing something in the corner of one of the photos. "We've received word that Stolas is no longer considered an overlord. He's a member of an organization. Therefore, he's no longer someone you must kill if you don't want to." Tytus clarifies.

"Understood," Douglas says upon nodding. Feeling a little relieved he has fewer targets.

"But there are five more people we're going to add to the list." The large angel says, causing the holy soldier's jaw to drop.

"What?! There are five new overlords?!" He asks in shock and fear. Tytus holds a hand out defensively.

"Relax son, there are only two new overlords. They are a husband and wife pair named Bethesda and Frederick von Eldritch." He states, causing Douglas to flinch.

"Are you sure it's not Seviathan von Eldritch?" He asks.

"Nope, just the sharp lad's parents." He states as he turns to the kid next to him. "And the other three, I think you'd rather hear from this young boy." He says as the kid folds his arms and frowns.

"Before I tell this guy about his other new targets, I suggest you give him the snake." He says in a somewhat sassy tone, causing Douglas to frown.

"Dude, you really need to watch how you speak to your elders." The young warrior says in annoyance. Tytus holds an arm out.

"It's alright Douglas. Eddie was just reminding me of something important." He says as he pulls out a small cage with a snake in it. Douglas recognizes it well.

"Eden?!" He nearly screams in shock. The snake faces him with a gloom in her eyes, feeling trapped and helpless. Tytus hands the holy soldier the cage.

"She's someone who was supposed to stay in Heaven, but many years ago, she betrayed us to go with Lucifer to Hell. Now that you've defeated him and his wife, this snake's fate is in your hands." He says. Douglas looks into Eden's poor defenseless eyes for a moment before looking back to Tytus.

"You want me to kill her?" He asks. The judge sighs.

"You can do whatever you'd like with her, but please be advised, she's banished for eternity from Heaven." Douglas glooms for a moment and nods. The small boy takes a step forward and holds his hand out.

"By the way, my name is Eddie." He says. "And I want to apologize for my rudeness to you and your friend the other day." He says maturely.

"Oh, no harm done." Douglas says as he shakes the much younger boy's hand. "I see you matured fast." He states as the boy chuckles.

"Heaven has good discipline enforcers. I'd probably be in Hell when I died had I lived my whole life." He says causing Douglas's smile to fade into an uncomfortable expression. Judge Tytus steps forward.

"We have rules about pre-teens that die. We don't send them to Hell under any circumstance, but rather assure their killers go there." He then frowns and lowers his head. "But this time, things are a little different."

"Why's that?" Douglas asks as the child steps forward with his phone.

"I want you to watch something." He says as he turns on the I.M.P Jingle. The young warrior's eyes widen and his jaw drops as he watches each individual death filmed in the montage along with the lyrics to the song. Just when he thinks the song is over, he looks up at them both.

"Okay, this is beyond inhumane! Why is-" He's cut off by the last line.

"Kids die for FREE!" Right after that line goes through his head, an intense glare goes over his face. Eddie nods.

"Those are the Immediate Murder Professionals." The small kid states. "They are the ones who killed me, dismembered my body, and then gave my remains in a bag to my mother!" Tytus nods in agreement.

"It's true. We saw the entire thing in the judgement hall and Lord Augustus was in tears!" He then gives the teen warrior a serious look. "Now tell me, are you going to let them get away with it?" He asks. Douglas glares and shakes his head rapidly.

"NEVER! I will smite them right out of existence!" He pledges. Tytus nods.

"Thank you, son. I don't usually see the point in targeting non-overlords, but we have a system where each death on Earth is natural or murdered by free will God gave to humankind. We don't need people in Hell interfering with that system nor is it their decision to make whatsoever!" He says furiously. "Now there's only one last thing to do with you before you go." He says as he raises his spear.

"Ooh, am I gonna master the Seiken finally?" He asks with enthusiasm. Tytus shakes his head.

"That power is only mastered by your own will once you awaken your true power." He states. "But I am willing to grant you this." He states as a flash of energy appears into Douglas's body. "Going forward, you'll be able to see your death five seconds prior to the ending move." He states. Douglas sighs.

"So I'm gonna get the traumatizing image of my life flashing before my eyes every time I'm about to die now?" He asks. Eddie shrugs.

"But you can teleport from place to place, can't you?" He asks. Douglas nods.

"Well yeah, I can. But why do I need it now of all times?" Tytus speaks up.

"Because now you're facing people with guns. We can't risk letting anyone shoot you without your awareness first." The holy soldier nods.

"I appreciate that." He remarks before turning to Eddie. "As for you, I promise to find their employer and make sure the entire company falls." The small kid makes an evil smirk.

"That's what I like to hear. Go get em buddy!" He says cheerfully. Tytus raises his spear.

"Ready to return to Hell now?" He asks. Douglas picks up Eden's cage and then nods.

"Yes sir. Back to the Happy Hotel please!" He requests as the judge nods and a light flashes down on him from the spear.

Happy Hotel: Room #2009

Douglas reappears on his bed where he was with the snake cage in his hands. He takes a good look at Eden for a moment, recognizing a sad and scared look in her eyes. He can clearly see she's scared to die, and that she knows there's nothing she can do about it if he attempts to kill her. She's not welcome in Heaven anymore, and Douglas won't be in Hell forever either. He knows they won't have a lot of total time together with these circumstances. He stares into her eyes for a few moments before closing his own tightly.

"You know exactly what situation you're in, correct?" He asks.

"Ss." She hisses very softly. Douglas opens his own eyes again with a somewhat guilty look.

"Here's the thing, no matter what the Judgement Hall may say, you did nothing wrong in your fight against me."

"HH?!" Eden's eyes shoot open and she raises her head in surprise. She didn't expect to hear those words.

"Look, I know you only bit me a couple of times because you were trying to protect Queen Lilith and King Lucifer, and that's not something you need to be ashamed of for doing." He says rather humbly. "Even now when I hold your very fate in my hands, I can see in your eyes you're sorry you caused me pain."

"Mm." The serpent nods in agreement. Douglas rubs the area on his neck she bit him, feeling a light stinging pain over his healing skin.

"But you're not sorry for trying to protect those you are loyal to. It's not a sin if they're from Hell you know?" He asks as she looks up at him. "You got aggressive because I was a threat, and no matter who the people you were fighting for were, I don't blame you for risking your life to protect them." The serpent hisses softly and raises her head a bit. "I'm not going to kill you," Douglas assures her as he sets the cage on the dresser beside his bed.

"HH!" She gives him another surprised look and then smiles softly at him. But her smile gets a bit weaker once she sees the blank look on his face.

"I know neither of us are completely innocent but... you don't blame me either, do you?" He asks with a hopeful gloom.

"EE!" Eden shakes her head swiftly at the question. Douglas still lets out an audible sigh.

"I'm really sorry for what happened to them. But you and I both know the truth, don't we?" He asks. Tears come to the snake's eyes as she softly nods. "Good, and I hope for the sake of my reputation and the lives of people in Hell, you and I remain the only ones that know." He says as he opens the cage, allowing Eden to slide out of it.

"MM!" She hums softly as she slithers freely around the dresser. The young warrior faces the door and then glances at her one last time.

"Please behave yourself while I'm gone. There used to be a sweet little maid who would clean up after everyone, but she's not here anymore. Got it?" He asks as the serpent nods. "Alright. Time to capture some child killers!" He shouts enraged as he teleports out of the room. Eden just looks around after he's gone.

A small public alley next to the city

"Okay Moxxie, when you see the boy come out, shoot him in the forehead, got it?" Blitzo says as he watches with binoculars from inside a bush. The white-haired demon rolls his eyes.

"This isn't my first time using a sniper rifle you know." Moxxie says in annoyance. Millie pats him on the shoulder.

"Ignore him sweetie, you never miss anyways." She whispers, causing him to smile. Suddenly they hear some static. Blitzo presses a button on his walkie talkie.

"Do you see him coming, Loony?" The tall imp asks.

"Yeah, it's him. He's right around the corner about to step out." The hell hound responds in her careless tone.

"And you're sure it's the right guy?" He says as he glances at Moxxie, who returns a slight glare. He then turns back to the walkie talkie. "We can't afford to hit the wrong target again." He says as Loona growls under her breath.

"He's the only human you'll ever see in Hell." She says in a quiet but aggressive tone. "You better tell Moxxie not to miss again." She adds.

"I don't miss!" Moxxie says in frustration before sighing. "Most of the time." Loona speaks up.

"Here he comes!" The imps flinch and get back into position. Millie grabs a spear and leans into her husband's ear.

"Just stay calm and shoot straight honey." She says in a sweet tone, causing Moxxie to blush, but maintain his focus. A thought goes through Moxxie's head once Douglas appears in range.

*I never thought I'd need to shoot the same target twice* He thinks as he sets his finger to the trigger.

"Whoa!" Douglas verbally reacts as a vision of a bullet hitting his forehead flashes into his mind. He stops in his tracks and glares a bit. "Snipers are you?" He asks quietly as two of the imps pause.

"Why's he stopping?" Blitzo asks quietly.

"Do you think he sees us?" Millie whispers back. Just before the focused imp fires the shot, the holy soldier teleports. Moxxie reflectively fires a shot, only for the bullet to miss and hit the bullet behind where Douglas was standing. The white-haired imp's eyes widen massively.

"Holy shit! He teleported!" Moxxie shouts in both shock and panic. Millie and Blitzo gasp and stick their heads out of the bushes.

"Where did he go?!" The tall imp asks loudly. Suddenly a heavy object hits Millie in the back of the head.

"OW!" She screams as she's pushed face-first onto the cement sidewalk.

"Ouch!" Moxxie yelps from the pushes as he's hit firmly in the face, sending him backward and out of the bush to hit the sidewalk.

"Whoa, wha-" Blitzo turns around just in time to see a heavy orange object strike him in the face. "AH!" He reacts as the thick object slams against his face and knocks him onto his back next to Millie. "Ow!" He shouts upon landing on his back. All three imps look up to see Douglas standing there with a sharp glare in his eyes.

"You guys have a lot of nerve trying to shoot someone off guard." He remarks in an annoyed tone. "But I'm gonna ask you all something and I expect a straight answer." Millie reaches for her spear slowly. "Who employed you imbeciles, to begin with?!" He demands. Blitzo glares.

"That's confidential information we can't share with you." He comments. Douglas doesn't hesitate to grab him by the throat. "Ack!" Blitzo puts his hands to the young warrior's wrist and tries to resist his grip.

"That's not an acceptable answer dumbass! I demand you-" A vision of Millie thrusting a spear into his abdomen flashes over him, cutting him off. "ARG!" Douglas shouts furiously as he shoves Blitzo to the ground and then kicks upward, knocking the spear out of her hands.

"Whoa!" Millie exclaims, impressed at the boy's reaction time. A pumpkin is thrown at her chest and knocks her back on the ground. "Oah!" She groans at the impact. Before Blitzo can get up, Douglas tackles him onto the cement ground and holds him down by the neck.

"Ah!" The tall imp wheezes as the holy soldier chokes him lightly.

"You ready to tell me who employed you now?" He asks firmly. "I'm waiting for an answer to what makes you think killing children is acceptable in the slightest!" A sudden blunt force of pressure hits him in the back, causing him to reflexively squeeze harder on Blitzo's neck and hit his knees on the ground. "AH!" Douglas lets go of Blitzo's neck, realizing he's now unconscious, and then turns around to see Moxxie standing there with a shotgun. Putting two and two together, he figures out the imp struck him in the back with the end of the rifle.

"Get off of him will you?" Moxxie asks in a surprisingly calm tone. Douglas glares at him darkly upon seeing the shotgun in his arms.

"You're the guy who shot my ankle the other day, aren't you?" He asks as the white-haired imp nods.

"I am. And you're lucky a few extra bucks weren't thrown in at the time or you'd be dead by now." He sasses. Douglas simply frowns.

"Well jackass, are you planning on shooting that rifle at me knowing I can teleport?" Moxxie swiftly swings the weapon forward, attempting to hit the warrior in the head with the edge, only for him to teleport.

"ERR!" Moxxie growls loudly before turning to his wife, who is standing there with a spear. "Where did he go?" He asks her.

"I have no idea." Millie shrugs. Only in a hidden alleyway between two buildings does the boy reappear.

"These are some violent imps. I'm used to scythes, but shotguns are a whole different thing." He says quietly. The hell hound on the roof manages to hear him.

"Hey, guys! He's over here!" Loona shouts as she points down to him. The young warrior glares at her and grabs his Glock. "AI!" She gasps loudly upon seeing the tip of the holy weapon aimed directly at her.

"I might as well take out you to you meddling spy!" He threatens. Loona holds her paws out and steps back.

"Whoa! Wait a second!" She panics before a grenade lands next to Douglas. The holy soldier barely notices in time to react.

"WHOA!" He swiftly sets up a barrier to block the blast, but the intensity of the explosion knocks him back against the brick wall of one of the buildings. "ACG!" He reacts painfully upon his back crashing. His gun falls on the ground next to him as Millie runs in with her spear.

"Gotcha now!" She exclaims as she jabs the spear toward him. He swiftly jumps back before she stabs him, and then she kicks the pistol back behind her. "Moxxie! Shoot him!" She calls from behind, moving out of her husband's range.

"Got him," Moxxie says quietly as he stares down the tip of the weapon. However, a pumpkin zips at his feet at high speed. "Whoa- ouch!" The pumpkin crashes against the imp's legs and causes him to trip forward and crash his face on the sidewalk. Millie gasps at the impact as Moxxie groans quietly.

"Alright, you little son of a bitch!" She exclaims with anger, pointing her spear out towards Douglas. "En Garde!" She screams spiritually. Douglas glares at her.

"I don't have a melee weapon." He states in annoyance. Millie smirks evilly.

"That's too bad. This'll be way too easy!" She says as she steps closer to him with the spear out. Douglas steps back until his back is against the wall.

"Come on Seiken, work!" He mumbles firmly as he attempts to summon a holy sword out of thin air. Millie pauses upon seeing a spark of light in front of her face.

"What the hell?" She mumbles quietly in confusion. To her misfortune, the weapon still isn't developed and the ultraviolet force explodes in her face. "AH! My eyes!" The black-haired imp screams as she takes a couple of steps back and lowers her spear a bit.

"I guess that works too," Douglas mumbles before summoning a pumpkin and running toward her. Loona speaks up.

"Millie! Stab now!" She shouts as Douglas gets closer. Millie quickly puts both hands to her spear and stabs outward. Douglas quickly blocks the tip of the spear with a pumpkin.

"Not so fast!" He comments. Millie growls rather violently and pushes forward, causing the spear to pierce right through the orange object and nearly take out Douglas's eye. He steps back and then kicks upward, managing to knock the spear out of her hands. She swiftly pulls a machete out of her pocket.

"Enough of this!" She cries out furiously as she slashes forward. Douglas takes another step back to avoid the blade and then the imp girl opens her eyes back up, able to see again. Douglas leans back and kicks upward, hitting her wrist firmly. "OH!" Millie struggles to maintain her grip on the machete but manages to keep it in hand. "Hold still, will you?!" She exclaims furiously. As the two continue to fight, Moxxie slowly lifts up his face.

"Oh..." He mumbles painfully as blood starts to leak in a few spots on his face. He stares forward and makes his best effort to concentrate until his vision is fully recovered. He watches as Douglas and his wife spar and then picks up his shotgun.

"You couldn't find another job in this goddamn city?!" Douglas calls out as he continues to dodge her attacks and deliver a couple of pumpkins to different spots on her body.

"This is the best job in the world!" Millie insists, finally landing a cut on his right arm.

"Ow!" Douglas grips his arm before it begins bleeding and summons another barrier to block her blows, to which she tears through rather quickly.

"Every time a body falls, I feel more alive!" She adds as he steps backwards until his back is against the wall. Millie steps a bit closer and pulls the machete back behind her head. "And at this point, your body will make a perfect trophy to summon more customers." Douglas's bleeding arm begins to glow bright white, causing Loona and Moxxie to gasp.

"No more bodies for you!" He exclaims as a light wave appears in front of him. Millie gasps and turns around to shield her eyes from the blow, but before he lands a hit, a vision comes to him. He sees Moxxie prepared to shoot him from far away, and suddenly stops glowing. As the light wave explodes, Millie is pushed back a step and the machete falls out of her hand. With swift reaction time, Douglas notices Moxxie has an eye closed in an attempt to avoid ultraviolet damage. His fingers shiver over the trigger as the instinct to fire finally goes through his brain.

"Whoa!" Millie gasps as the young warrior grabs her by the arms swiftly and spins her outward towards her husband. *BANG* "AAH!" Millie screams loudly as a thick pair of hot metal bullets burst into her chest. Less than a second later, Loona's eyes widen, but her attention is redirected to the shooter.

"MILLIE!" Moxxie screams at the top of his lungs as the heavy gun is dropped beside him. The fatally wounded imp stares at him as tears flood her eyes, only making her vision even blurrier.

"Moxxie..." She responds in a weak tone. Douglas finally lets go of her wrists and she falls on her knees. She clutches her chest and leans over it as she slowly bleeds into the grass. Moxxie just stares at her in tears as her movements become slower and slower. Douglas glares at the white-haired imp and walks towards him slowly.

"Shoot him!" Loona shouts as he continues to decrease the distance between him and Moxxie. Moxxie grabs the gun and aims it at Douglas but shakes constantly in place as he gets closer. "Shoot him!" The hell hound shouts a bit louder. Moxxie's pupils shrink as he gets closer, but he still fails to pull the trigger.

"Let's get this over with." The holy soldier says in a dead tone. Loona begins to stammer reflexively as she leans in with a very worried look on her face.

"SHOOT HIM!" Moxxie holds the gun a bit higher, but his eyes drift back over to Millie's now fresh corpse. In less than a second, his will to kill Douglas is gone and he drops the rifle where it is. "NO, MOXXIE!" Loona shouts in fear and sadness. She covers her eyes as the stronger and much taller boy begins to trash the white-haired imp. He throws him on the ground a few feet back. Moxxie looks up weakly and glances at Millie's corpse.

"Of all the imps in Hell..." Douglas picks him up and firmly punches his right eye, causing him to grunt loudly in discomfort.

"Moxxie..." Loona says inaudibly as she watches Douglas throw him down close to his wife's body.

"It's to me that she fell." He sings in a sad tone. He grunts as Douglas steps on his back and weighs him down, grabbing a pumpkin. He lifts his head up weakly with a black eye and blood on his face, along with tears. "Oh, Millie." He finishes the song. A second later, the pumpkin is slammed against the back of his skull, knocking his lights out instantly. Douglas turns around and spots Loona climbing down from the roof.

"You're next." He says darkly as he reaches for the gun in his pocket. The hell hound gasps loudly and takes a few steps back.

"Wait, wait! No!" She panics fearfully with her hands out. Douglas flashes the Glock out and aims at her. "EEK!" Loona fails to contain her scream. Nearby, a now conscious Blitzo lifts his head off the ground slowly.

"Loona?" He asks in a quiet tone. He softly makes his way back to his feet and pulls out his gun. He steps closer to where he hears voices.

"You don't understand! I'm not a killer, I swear!" Loona screams as Douglas backs her into a corner.

"And why should I fall for that? You're part of a murderous force, and therefore you've got blood on your hands as well!" He retorts.

"Okay Moxxie, you better get your sniper ready." Blitzo says... "Moxxie?" He asks as he turns to the side to see Moxxie lying on his face with blood in the back of his skull. "Oh my god! Millie, the guy got your husband!" He panics as he faces the other direction. "Millie?" He asks waiting for a response, noticing the other imp lying on her stomach, bleeding from her chest. "Oh fuck." Blitzo mumbles before gulping and stepping closer to the fight.

"Do you assholes take pleasure in killing children?!" Douglas interrogates. Loona practically hugs the wall with the back of her arms.

"We don't kill children!" She exclaims. "Well... most of the time." She admits, causing Douglas to facepalm.

"I saw your commercial! You said kids die for free!" He exclaims. Blitzo aims his pistol at the back of Douglas's head, but he's hesitant to pull the trigger. Douglas had already avoided Moxxie's sniper. If he misses this shot, the bullet will hit Loona. The taller imp inhales deeply and speaks up.

"Let her go!" He shouts, getting both of their attention immediately. The holy soldier quickly aims the Glock back at the imp.

"And here I was hoping you'd just stay down. Now you come back to meet your doom?" He asks. Loona gives him a terrified look.

"No, Blitzo! What are you doing here?!" She screams in fright. Blitzo sighs sadly.

"Loona, get out of here." He tells her in an ashamed tone. Douglas sneers at her.

"You heard him, get lost demonic bitch." Loona frowns at him, but then turns around and walks away slowly. Blitzo glares.

"How dare you talk to her that way?" Douglas faces him again.

"Hey, how dare you kill children you insane fuck?" Blitzo raises an eyebrow, slowly putting his finger to the trigger of his weapon. Douglas pays attention to the gun aimed at him cautiously.

"We don't kill children often you know?" The tall imp states. The holy soldier stamps his foot on the ground.

"But you think kids should die for free?! Do their lives have any value to you?!" Blitzo's hand shivers madly.

"This is Hell, nobody's life has value to me on Earth!" He exclaims.

"Then why do you kill people?!" Douglas shouts, desperate for a conceivable answer.

"It's how we survive down here! And threats like you make me happy I have this career!" He states as his finger reaches the trigger. Douglas swiftly relocates the moment the bullet is fired, avoiding the shot. "Oh, for god's sake!" Blitzo says in annoyance.

"Turn around!" Douglas shouts from behind him. The tall imp turns around, just in time for the young warrior to fire the Heaven's Glock into his chest.

"AGH!" The force of the bullet knocks him back and he crashes his back onto the wall. He then falls on his face and begins to bleed. Douglas rotates the gun on his finger a few times before spinning it around and setting it back in his pocket.

"Seems familiar, doesn't it?" He asks as he steps closer to him. Blitzo weakly lifts up his head.

"W-what?" He asks quietly. Douglas pulls out his list.

"You know, here I was hoping I wouldn't have to kill any non-overlords, but you sadists just had to kill one child too many." He says as he unravels the list and holds it in front of the tall imp's eyes. "Now which one of these freaks employed you?" He asks. Blitzo lifts his arm up over his head and points to the black owl Tytus wrote next to.

"This guy. And it costed me my dick to get started." Douglas makes a creeped-out face.

"He chopped your dick off?" He asks. Blitzo gives him an annoyed look.

"I wish he did. That would've been merciful compared to what I sat through." He says before coughing a bit. Douglas sighs and puts his hands to his hips.

"Last question. Who's the one who hired you to come after me to begin with?" Blitzo begins to shut his eyes.

"Ka-tie... Killjoy." He says before exhaling his last breath. Douglas makes a fist.

"That bitch. She's going to get it!" He says vigorously. Suddenly Eddie's spirit comes in.

"Thanks for avenging me. Did you get them all?" The young spirit asks. Douglas facepalms.

"No, the stupid dog girl got away." He says as Eddie rolls his eyes.

"You can forget about her. That dog isn't worth it." He then points to the right. "But if you're looking for Killjoy, I think I know where her studio is." Douglas flinches.

"How do you know of all people?!" He asks in shock. Eddie shrugs.

"I saw a billboard from the I.M.P headquarters building. It had her name, channel number, and building address." He says as he starts to levitate to the right. "Come on Douglas." The strong-willed teen glances behind him at Moxxie, Millie, and Blitzo respectively.

"Immediate? Yes. Murder? Yes. Professional? Not even close." He comments before following Eddie's spirit.

Author's Note: I imagine some of you probably hate Douglas right now, but I assure you my goal was to give everyone mixed feelings on him. I hope you're not discouraged to read more!
