((Request by: Theresse619 Request: Moxxie secretly had concerts as a teen to buy a new home or renovate his home as a gift for his mom for all the love and care she had given him. Moxxie is famous as the mysterious masked musician who can captivate any demon with their music. Moxxie would secretly hold underground concerts that would take all of hell by storm.
Note: This universe doesn't know Striker, Stolas, Millie and all that. Everything else like a mix of the story and show.
Note 2: I won't to detail on music description
Note 3: Might see a continuation of this one as some ideas have pop up. Will just have to see, and if others like it))

Maria was stunned at what she is seeing. Look at her child and then back at their home.

It still looks the same mind you besides renovations inside and outside. Not just there but also the garden fence expanding when they put in new crops, grains for the whiskey business. Still will buy from the original farmer still good to have backup. The barn fixes up. It was the added building that separated to be a distiller, storage for the barrels and other products for making the whiskey. Instead of under the home basement workshop.

All of this done in four days while Maria was on a vacation trip to the spas for an early Birthday gift. She was suspicious who paid for it let alone the hotel room in advance. Moxxie not budging with the questions but very close to spilling it.

Moxxie succeeded not saying anything. When they were sure the truck was very far away, with her safety, pull the walkie talkie out to call the crew.

Got four-day deadline but it was able to be finished.

"It'll make work easier. When I'm not here some days. Are extra security measures besides Crucible."

The hell-donkey heard hissing loudly in the background.

"Moxxie."

"What you think?" She done too much for them. Sometimes it didn't feel like Moxxie was doing enough for her.

Which would be bullshit if anyone heard that thought.

Ruffle his hair and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Grin seeing them give her a look while their face still pink as they try to hide it with their scarf. "I love it. Your little sneaky rascal doing this behind my back."

"I listen to what you wanted. Plus, that list."

"Darn it Mox Im supposed to spoil you. Not the other way around."

"I don't mind. Plus, already paid so no take backs. No, I didn't rob a bank."

"Would have fooled me." Walk inside their home. Still have that vibe that fitted them. Nothing too new but still decent. Refresh up.

"So, you're saying I could get away with it?"

"Yes, even without your magic."

"Eh there goes my getaway portal car." Watch their Madre closely of their reaction. Looks like she really like the place. Couldn't wait to show her the other building for the whiskey. But does see that look in her eyes when she glances at them. Not wanting to ask but knew it will come out.

How?

Where you get the money?

I mean technically there is the gold, and unwanted surprises. Plus, money save over the years. Their part time jobs. But there was another route too. One, that surprised them and not going to make it habit. This was just a surprise for their Madre.

It was their music.

While they always played privately to themselves, Madre, Dr. Medea and select few. Really, they don't do it outside of home. Then one day after school heard some of their upper classmates talking about a contest at bar in a town that two hours away. One of those bars that host in the volcano's undergrounds. Sound like anyone can sign up but a limit. Many of the teens may be finding it as an excuse to possibly go big. Or just some extra cash. Didn't see the deal about it. Until a prize was mentioned about money. So, with some calculations in their head maybe could sneak some cash on the side.

Couldn't believe next thing they know sign up but using a different name. Didn't say had to be legal online.

First, figuring out a song to use with the violin. Got an idea what to use depending on the crowd type.

Then a look. Not going on stage to be recognize.

So, went with something simple for an outfit. Got to have a bit of fun, alteration. Wore a long black skirt. A high collar long sleeve black blouse. Gloves. Kept their tail bandaged up. Use the same make-up they used to hide their tear-marks. Now used it to hide their freckles. Did leave one open that you mistake it for a beauty mark. A black mask concealing the top half of their face. Tuck their hair under a black cowboy hat with a feather on the side. It from a vulture Crucible ate not too long ago. Save a few of the feathers liking the colors. The black and dark orange feather fitted with the hat. Then added blue paper flower.

Did feel a little irritated about using paint for their horns. Just trick their mind into saying it was make-up. Less traumatic. Soon, got a pair of black with white thin strip horns. It was the same situation with the shoes for their hooves. Able to make some heel boots and move with it. Gave them a flamenco vibe. The worst being having to leave their scarf as many in their hometown who are familiar with them. Knows they always wear it. If any were to go over didn't want that hint to get them caught. Brought a gun along but hid it under the skirt.

Then it was time for the mission!

Money for Madre gift!

The night they knew their Madre would be out. Portal to the town. It was a nice crowd of contestants, and just citizens coming to watch, drink and have a blast. Sign-in up front, got your number and just had to wait. Listen. Watch. Hope no bar-fight had to start. Which happen to some of the contestants. Moxxie just stayed hidden in a corner while holding their violin case. Began to think not a good idea. What were they thinking? This isn't them at all!

Their number was called and was the final one in the show.

Drat.

Didn't focus on anyone as they walk up. Just got ready with their violin. Then just played it like they always did at home, or in space with those space creatures. Play a slow piece to get in the mood. Then began to pick up the speed as it the slow song began to be a bit joyful. In fact, it sounds like a piece would be nice to dance too and mix it up. Yet, it was fine on its own.

I mean they must have chosen a passible piece. I mean no booing. No, cruel words like their terrible. Or get off the staff. No, shots being fired or a random trash-can throw. Once they were done, they just stared at the audience.

Everyone cheered. Even the other contestants.

Next, thing they know the contest was over. Call on stage that they won, handed the money and just wide-eye stun. Well, they won. Thought it was over after that. Left from the back not wanting to stay too long to linger. Until the owner of the bar stops them in time. He offered their place for the contest. Asking them if they were like to come back next week to do a show.

"How much to pay you to come back here to work."

Moxxie stared at the older woman. "How about I keep whatever money thrown in the jar. Will keep it from there. I guess for your business got to order at least a drink to stay longer. If there here for the show."

"Well now I can work with that. Can use the borrow room to chill and relax."

Stare a little longer. They are really serious wanting them back here to play. "You sure? Were many up there who did better."

Stare as she cackles. "You're the one with the prize money. Plus, this contest was for everyone to decide who would win. Not just the judges. So, even if those three pick someone for just being hot but couldn't sing to save their teeth. Would have lost."

About to answer no but stop as they remember what their Madre says. Along with a few others. Able to avoid the question as they go over details. Gave them a number from a burner phone they recently bought. Will be used for good used after all. A bonus not using their real number.

"You an adult lass?"

"Old enough. Do I have to talk up there?"

"No, but that's on you."

"Fine with that."

"Any name to call you besides 16?"

"Cadena."

"Cadena? Nice stage name. Got accent to it when you said it."

Not bothering to tell them it just means String in Spanish. It was the first thing that pop up in their head. The other one was Puppet.

So, they did come back next week, after making sure their Madre not suspicious. Also, keeping their scarf as they're not going through that again! Just wore it around their waist like a belt. Still didn't think not many will be there. We're quite surprise the bar filled up by a decent amount. Saw classmates again. A lot of the same crowd with many new faces. Went on that stage. Just play as they always do.

Everyone really likes it.

Ask to come back two weeks later.

Did that. Did something a little new like point at a crowd member for a song. Will get a smart-ass here and there. Until their mouths open wider as they played the song. Didn't realize at some point began to dance with their music. A little embarrassed as they would only do that around themselves. The owner said they love it.

The fifth time got a little crazy while their case was filled with money. Would also get paper-slips with phone numbers. Then try to get them to stay longer as they'll have guest wanting to take pictures, talk and were one incident someone tail try to get a bit to touchy. Before they could rip that weirdo tail off the owner did have their workers throw them out. After that when requested to come back were some extra securities that lend a hand.

We're occasions they did say they couldn't play certain days. Dr. Medea birthday. No, only because they weren't going to deal with his pouty, guilt talking voice. That is, it. Prom? No, they didn't go to Prom but were many alterations on backorder they stayed to help at the shop.

Each time they were to go to that underground bar. It was never dull when they play. Well, must be doing something right if their always called back.

Not realizing or paying attention how big their name was growing. The videos being watch that would be recorded or live. How many are asking so many questions, but nobody has a clue. We're times trying to talk to the owner couldn't really give you much. Besides the name and just be happy they're here that night. You got the fan-base that was growing who go to watch in person. Some would even film it lives. You got even those who just love listening to music in general. Then you got demons who usually don't care or like this kind of music. Try not to show they began to like the vibe. But won't admit it or show they were listening.

Then you got the other side of the stardom, fame that wants to take it. Those in the money-music making industry. Agents who will glance over if they find interest peaking up in the web. Many will go or if their bosses ordered to go. Could see potential. Money to bring forward to the table, the papers, screens and so much! Artist enjoying it, and thoughts bringing them over to do a partnership. Rise them up higher. Eat them up of their talent and turn them to something different. Do anything you can to bring the fame higher plus the money.

It too bad they jump in too late to get a hold of Cadena.

Did it for half a year. Wasn't going to be anything permeant as they just like to play for fun. Already had enough money at that point in time to get with the contractors, along with Maria tripped book at the same time. Only stayed a little longer to be fair as the owner really help out. The left-over money they really didn't need they kept half or gave to the staff. Plus, they were about to graduate. They had their other part-time jobs to think about as they want them their longer when school out. A trip being plan with their Madre. They also wanting to help their Madre further in the business while they do their sewing on the side. It's not liked their overwhelmed but got to make time for themselves.

So, this would have to stop. Eventually did warn the owner will only be doing one show left. That look unhappy about it but didn't force or push them about it. Besides telling them if they ever want to perform again. Just swing on by.

That was a lot of hellborns that night.

If they looked closer would have notice not many were native of Wrath. Not like it didn't really matter to them. Only time when they do focus on the crowd was if a problem ever came up. Still, its kind an amazed them how many were here to just watch them. Look happy, excited and the crowd cheering their name. It was also the third time they ever spoke to the crowd. It was kind their gimmick not talking like they did when they were younger. Mess with their voice to able to use their accent to slip in. Just announcing to everyone for listening to play with them, praise Wrath and this would also be their final night.

Couldn't tell you what those cries meant.

Still, they played. Gave them a greatest show. One last time for this underground.

That was a month ago.

Moxxie relax a bit as they sit on the porch. Their Madre still inside the home wanting to look around. Doesn't mind. It is her home after all. Well, theirs. Give them as much time in the world. Look up at the pastel orange ski with it burning sun just glaring down. A breeze could be felt with the crops moving with it at the direction. Close their eyes while they let out a hum as they enjoy the sensations. Their padded hoof taps the wood to a new beat. Fingers tap to them of the pants as they just move on instinct.

"Also, Mox come here a second something seems off with my phone."

Got them cellphones early from a business in one of the cities in Wrath. Not a big deal but has been useful for like work. Some areas of Wrath will use them but still the old fashion phone roof, plus radios. Maria likes it for the camera.

The many phots she caught them off guard was outstanding.

"Sure." Go to walk back inside the house. Freeze. Sees her holding a hat they thought they hidden.

Maria smile with their hand holding their cowboy hat and the other hand lifts her phone up. Of, videos of their cross-dressing disguise playing at the bar. Smile in place while a little twitch can be spotted. "Care to explain why I wasn't invited Cadena?"

She knows.

She learns they have been sneaking out, which could be worse mind you.

She very displeased not able to go see their child play and perform.

"Well?"

"I'm retired."

You all enjoyed these?

The blue paper flower looks closely like a Blue Chilean Crocus that they saw on either Earth or from tv shows.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
