"Should we um stop them?"

"Hell, no I'm not getting into that!"

"How many views you think I would get?"

What they watching exactly?

Oh, just Moxxie and Striker fighting like animals.

Killer, feral animals.

Now let's be clear three weeks have passed after Moxxie brought the book and IMP back in business. The first day was really learning how to use the book since it was slightly different.

For, example if Loona uses it to open a portal. Her hand was surrounded in blue and purple flame like magic.

It was kind of shocking and cool for all them too see that.

Then with a swift of her hand of the random area they know on Earth. A portal was open up like it was nothing. All them took turns to learn how to use it.

After that IMP took in clients again!

Moxxie stayed back since his arm is 'broken' but use that time to look at any paperwork. Along with making sure financially will be alright.

He hates paperwork.

He made Loona do it too since it's her job as well. A lot of bitching those two week but Moxxie didn't care. Be lazy at home or when there no work. He not going to take that kind of crap.

But.

She was defiantly very protective of the book that for sure. Alert of any new client. Or when I client damn curious. If they see it she'll almost snap their face off. Did notice, when she thinks they're not looking, how she would look at the other spells.

She responsible in a different way.

But won't let her get out of it from paperwork. Or at least get Blitz to let her join in business trips to the human world.

Blitz almost put his foot down at that.

"Sir, she a damn young adult! She need to learn! What if something happens and she the only one who can go solo." Moxxie explain to Blitz as the three came back from another mission. Loona was in another room.

"Absolutely not my baby not going out there with those freak!"

"Gotta agreed with Critter on this one boss man." Striker cleaning up his pistol. "Your kid good and can be helpful. Especially if we lose a scent out there. Plus, you babying her not going to be helpful."

"Striker come on I thought you're on my side!"

"Since when with your kid?"

"Come on Blitz let Loona come next time. She can kickass and was helpful when we did the Springbreak kills!" Millie jumps in.

"Till that bitch Tex-"

"Bastered."

"Came in and his chill voice got my baby hormones!"

"Yet, you don't seem to mind when she party or hangout with him."

"Only because she has a curfew!"

"Sir." Moxxie takes a deep breath. "At least let her watch and shadow us. Let her learn. She doesn't have to be close. We get it humans are messed up. But a few can be smart."

"Did you call all of us dumbasses."

"Sir, I can admit I can be stupid, dense idiot. Plus, we all done some stupid shit. I can vouched for those two of there have as well. Even before joining IMP."

"Guitly." Millie and Striker agreed together.

Blitz pouted with his arm crossed. A deep thoughtful look on his face till he let out a dramatic groan. "Fine! But only shadow for now!"

"Finally!"

"Loonie you were eavesdropping how could you!"

"You're a hypocrite."

"I'm a dad!"

Loona already shadow on two missions. Almost messed up one but it got fix up before it got worse. It was also a learning experience she desperately needed. Blitz hates to admit it too but he didn't want his baby girl to get hurt either. So, cave in gave her another chance and she will follow orders.

A bit of freedom seem to help out. Loona still was well Loona. But still seem to be on better alert. So, it's a start. Could be the same for Blitz.

That imp really does care for his kid.

Then Stolas found out.

Well, really they all found out Stolas been trying to reach Blitz constantly. Either had the ringtone off, ignored the call, and delete the text. Then he called IMP out of habit and Moxxie answered the phone. He thought it was a client.

Nope.

That was an interesting talk till they hanged up. Already mentally getting prepare for that talk along with this one.

"Hey Mox who was that?"

"Stolas sir."

"WHAT!?"

He still trying to figure how Blitz knows all these curse words. Some he really think he invented on the spot. Got worse when he did mention the book. Another hour curse fest. Then had to shut him up.

Then the meeting as Puppet with Stolas after work.

"PUPPET YOU DID WHAT!?"

"I made sure no portal open to space from what happen. I was very cautious and strict rules. One mistake and will be taken." Look at the gapping owl.

"I just. I didn't want you to be part of this."

"I asked Moxxie what he want and he want that. Felt like it was his fault the book was taken away."

"That's nonsense!"

"Not to them if you think about the timing. I would have too in their position."

Stolas sighs and leans against the rock. "I wish you told me. At least for my opinion on this."

Ouch. Head lower down. "I didn't want you to feel under stress."

"I'm already under other kind of stress." Removed his top hat and sigh. "But you're smart. Same with Moxxie. I may not be part of IMP business anymore. I can at least make sure no miss use of the book."

"You think I'm smart?"

"How the bloody hell you survive out here?"

"No, comment Frogmouth." Look back out the starry sky. To relax but also stay alert for any problems of any sorts. "So, will they let you walk back in?

"Maybe this time since Moxxie back. Wasn't able to before after I try to reach Blitz."

"Oh?"

"Last, time I barely make it to the elevator. Their um new employee seem to be really after my head to shoot off."

Striker. "Well, um bad luck next time."

"Why thank you my Puppet!"

All and all deceent.

Then he was finally able to take his bloody cast off. It was great! Blitz wanted to celebrate at the bar. Which they are at now at.

"Glad to have your arm free amigo?" Bloody asked Moxxie as she pours him a drink. Blitz taking shots with Millie. Loona taking a sip of her own drink.

"Yes."

"Great! I was about to get worry and have to turn to your buddy here for all future paperwork. Got a good eye on guns and details just like you." Blood snickered.

"Don't compare us." Moxxie snorted as he hears Striker snickered right by him.

"True you're funnier."

"That hurt my heart right here. I thought we starting to become buddies." Striker pat his chest.

"In your nightmares."

"Where you find these people?" Striker look at Moxxie.

"I found you by accident."

"I was your best accident you damn Critter."

"Hmm true." Took another shot of his drink. "Speaking of accident. Bloody I apologize in advanced for any damaged."

"Oh?"

Before Striker can take a sip of his drink. He had too quickly duck down as Moxxie throws in a punch. Jumps backwards as Moxxie now jump on his chair. "What the hell Critter?!"

"Fight! Fight!"

"Blitz no!"

"Remember Rattles I'm going to kick your ass after my arm was healed." Moxxie twitch and snarled. But a smile began to spread. "I'm going to do it now! Don't worry I won kill you want my dear buddy around after all! So, either fight back or get your ass beat down!"

Now here the thing Moxxie rarely takes the first hit. For, many reasons. But didn't mean there were those times back as Error. Even now it still rare as well. So, for him to attack Striker first was a shocker for all of them. Sure, they heard the comments to beat the snake like imp ass for form reason.

Personal reason.

Blitz tried to find out what happen. But the two were sealed mouth about their interaction in the farm. Plus, it was personal if Striker wanted to talk about it or not.

But right now.

Striker look at his Critter who pupil sharpen. Took his scarf and choker off to not get ruin. Along with the glasses. Body position to lunge out any moment. Tail move back and forth slowly. No, weapons to be used but just instincts and strength.

It excited him.

He had to hold back a lot of instincts, his own tricks, strength and abilities. Even in this group unless he meets a rare human or two that he would have to get extra predatory. So, to see Moxxie like this made part of his dark thoughts very, very happy to fight. That was also desire as well that he had to hold back separately.

"Well, then." He hissed and smile very big. Threw his hat off and weapons. His own tail rattle for a fight. "Come and show me what you got you little Critter!"

Moxxie lunges at Striker and rolled to the ground as he quickly move away. Use his tail to pull Striker to the ground. The Snake hiss and quickly move his head as a fist slam down on the wood ground. Use his own tail to wrap it around Moxxie and throw him off him at the other side of the bar. Throw his feet up and move fast to approach him. "I'm not going to go easy on you little Critter."

"I would be insulted if you did!" Swipe kick him off the ground.

Striker almost fell backwards but quickly land on both hands. Then backflip away. Back on his feet. Almost stand up in place till Moxxie ram into his stomach.

"Take you fight outside!" Bloody yelled at the pair as the punch each other.

CRASH!

Look at that the door still handing on the top hinge.

Bombproof look at the pair fighting and went back to eating.

Moxxie and Striker rolled into the street. Both them jump back from the other. Small pants and circling each other. Then lunge at the other. There was punches, scratches, biting, head-butts, tail pulling and kicking at the other. Defiantly some blood and bruising was going to happen.

Yet, the two of them couldn't stop.

Striker was enjoying this too much! It been years he had a decent fight like this. To be fighting his Critter as well drives him insane. He was quite proud how strong the shorter Imp gotten. Can hide his non wrath ways all he wants and can those idiots out there who cross him. But Moxxie a true Wrath Imp he just knew how to hide it well in his own ways. He defiantly stronger than he look and faster. It made the snake Imp to do everything he can to beat him and show him who stronger. Almost was close to bite down on his neck and show some kind of mark.

Moxxie shouldn't be this excited. Well, he half is along with satisfaction to let some frustration off at Striker of what happen. It just Striker really is a strong Imp. Yes, he is holding back but at the same time not fully. For, Striker to even catch up to him like this was impressive. Made his magic even excited. Also, his feral side to keep fighting. Along with another strange urge he couldn't put his finger on it. Well, his fingers right now in a fist to sucker punch his face.

"Um Blitz I think we need to stop them."

"Are you kidding? They are fine and this is hot!"

"But Blitz that why."

"What you?" Blitz looking at a direction Millie pointing out. Eyes shrunk. "Oh come on! Moxxie, Striker stop it! Striker I'm trying to save your cowboy ass!"

Striker really wasn't paying attention. Or unable too really. What was he even yelling about?

"Moxxie! What are you doing?!"

They both stop and their eyes looked at the direction.

It was Ivy with her arms crossed. Twitch at the pair as she study them both.

Striker grab the back of Moxxie to hold his hair and was a mess. The pony tail came undone at some point. Just like Moxxie grab Striker neck. Moxxie tail was holding Striker other wrist. Moxxie other hand grab Striker horn. Then there was Striker tail wrapped around Moxxie body. Then there was the dirty, bruised and bloody look the pair was showing,

"Well?"

"Fighting?"

"That the tumbleweed with Maria"

Vines sprung out and grab the pair.

"What did you call me you snake?"

"Tumbleweed need your leaves pull out to hear better."

"Ivy let us go were fighting here!"

"You can explain that to your Madre. So, you're Striker. Maria nephew. Well, she not going to like this when I call her."

"Are you serious?!"

"Ivy let go were not kids!"

"Tell that to your Madre." Ivy dragged them away, puts the on Bombproof saddle and hold the reins to walk with her.

"Bye, Moxxie, Striker will call if survive with those bitches! I call dibs on your horse!"

"You're not taking my horse!"

"Someone paying for my damn door!"

"Put it on IMP tab."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

Whelp they're in trouble. Really got a tongue lashing for a bad place and time to fight like that.

The door got fix as IMP does not have a tab yet.

The other IMP members colors are different too. When they use the book to open a portal. Still debating the colors for Blitz, Millie and Striker.

Any questions?

Until next time!

Bye, bye!
