12 Comet

Damon and Leroy awoke with a startle upon hearing fireworks, "It's over!! We're alive" Leroy cheered. "No time to waste!! We have to get this over with" Damon stated, he got up and immediately made his way to the sliding doors. "Hold it!!!" Cried Stef, the Imp who had saved them earlier, "I know what you're up to...I've seen that dagger before" Stef explained, "You're trying to get yourself initiated into Aztech's crew, and the truth is, I was also planning to get myself involved with them...so I'll be coming with you" she stated.

"Wha-I'm not sure if-" "I am coming" Stef demanded, interrupting Leroy. "...Damon, she'll probably murder us if we refuse to let her come with us" Leroy whispered. "Ha!! She can come right along, we can use the extra hand" Damon chuckled, "How well do you handle that bow, Robin Hood?" He asked her. "I can blindly shoot an arrow in the sky and it'll land in God's skull" Stef stated, "Nice!! You hear that Leroy?! She's coming with us" Damon grinned, Leroy mumbled some indecipherable words before following Damon.

"So basically, we're trying to murder a prince for Aztech, he specifically asked us to kill him with the stone dagger. We have the exterminator's spear just in case we face some trouble, and after we're done with this we'll all be under Aztech's protection!!" Leroy exclaimed. "What the hell did you two pipsqueaks do? You two look like you can't even lift a stick without hyperventilating" Stef pointed out. "We pissed off this lady called The Mistress, she claims to run a sanctuary, a place where sinners are protected from the outside world...but in reality, it was actually a fucking five star buffet restaurant for the succubus', you know how those succubus operate right?" Leroy asked Stef, "Of course I do, I was born in Hell" Stef growled. "Sorry Sorry!! Say, why are you looking for assistance from Aztech? You look like you could handle yourself just fine...and where's your tail?" Leroy pointed out, just now noticing that she was missing her tail unlike most Imps. "I've pissed off the wrong people...first I got into some trouble with a Prince of Hell, then I ended up being hunted down by an Overlord" Stef explained, "Leviathan, Prince of Envy, is pissed off at me for attacking one of his associates, then one of the Overlords, a pale woman with long arms, got pissed after I shot an arrow to her knee...as for the loss of my tail...it's a reminder for me to not get too close with someone" Stef told him.

"Guys, save the fairytales for later, we're here" Damon said, looking up at the large palace in front of them. "My plan is...we sneak past the front gate, make our way to the roof and climb through the window to Comet's room, then we'll go stabby stabby on his ass...sound go- what the fuck is she doing?!" Damon asked as he watched Stef grapple to the top of a building across the street. "Ahem- HEY!!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" Damon yelled. "Stay put, I'll open the gate" Stef said as she leapt off the building and used her bow to zip-line on a cable line. She zipped past the walls around the palace and landed on the other side.

Damon and Leroy could hear the sound of a struggle, and they could hear Stef repeatedly swearing as she fought, but soon the gates opened and Stef stood behind it with her bow in hand. "Come on, hopefully that didn't draw too much attention" Stef said as she grappled onto the roof of the palace. Damon and Leroy saw a pipe along the walls of the building and climbed that instead.

When they got to the roof top, they all stopped outside the window to Comet's room, they suddenly got into cover out of view from the window, as Comet can be seen entering the room. Prince Comet wore a long crimson cloak with a black and velvet vest underneath, and he had a silver crown on his feathery head. "This palace has five hundred guards, all with the goal of protecting ME" Comet said snobbishly. "I have reason to believe that two people in particular are after you" a female voice explained, Damon peeked into the window and was surprised to find the Mistress standing with Comet in the room.

"I'm a Goetia, remember? I can demand everyone to jerk me off if I so desire it!! These simpletons know better than to cross me" Comet stated, "And why are you so concerned with my safety?" He questioned, sitting in front of a mirror and combing through the feather on his head. "It is not your safety I'm concerned about...those two animals impaled my partner on a fence!! I want them brought back to me, dead or alive!! Then I'll gut them for the hell of it" The Mistress snarled. Comet calmly applied some red dye to the feather on the top of his head, "Hmm...I'll set my hounds out" Comet stated, standing up and spraying some Hitler-brand mustache oil on himself. "I'll have my best man protect you" Mistress said as she walked out of the room with an umbrella in hand. Bolt walked in right after The Mistress with his hands on his belt, "Ha!! You're going to protect me? Please, don't make me-" "Quiet" Bolt demanded the prince, Bolt suspiciously looked over at the window, his hand hovered over his revolver as he walked over to the window. "...Fuck Fuck Fuck, what do we do?" Leroy whispered. Stef immediately picked up her bow and slammed it against the window, stunning Bolt from the shards of glass flying his way. "Fuck!!!" Comet screamed, Damon climbed through the window and charged towards Comet, attempting to run the stone knife through the Prince. Suddenly, a flash of yellow light blinded Damon, and he was shoved to the ground. Comet's eyes glowed a yellow color and he sprinted out of the room and through the halls. "Get that asshole, I'll keep the cowboy at bay" Stef stated.

"Why hello missy" Bolt tipped his hat, "Wanna Tango?" He asked. Stef silently drew her bow while Bolt drew his revolvers, and they both dove behind cover while exchanging bullets and arrows.

Damon and Leroy sprinted through the halls before several Imps wearing suits blocked their path. Leroy presented his Exterminator spear, blindly swinging it around. The Imps immediately cowered, not only because they fear an exterminator's weapon but because Leroy was spinning the spear around like a total madman. Damon and Leroy sprinted past the guards, seeing Comet sprint into a room and slamming the door shut. Leroy and Damon charged with the spear and cut right through the door, leaving a small hole. "Step back" Damon said, he got in a stance, and kicked the door right open. "End of the line, Prince!!!" Damon yelled.

"Who sent you? Was it that Two-Faced Theater Freak? The Clown? The freaky child?" Comet asked, "Yep, it's the freaky child" Leroy told him. Damon drew the dagger and was ready to stab Comet in the chest before Leroy stopped him, "Hold Up!! Aztech never told us to kill him...right?" he asked, "Leroy, do you think he wanted us to go through all this trouble just to give him a slap on the cheek? He wants us to murder the bloke" Damon told him. "Man...I've never actually killed anyone before" Leroy muttered, "And what has he done that deserves being killed?" Leroy asked. "You won't be doing the killing, I'll be the one doing it..." Damon explained, but before he could stab Comet, the owl's eyes glowed yellow again and Damon was hit with a yellow blinding flash, causing him to drop the dagger.

Leroy and Comet before dived for the dagger, they both grabbed hold of the dagger, Leroy had his hand on the handle and Comet had his hand on the edged blade of the dagger. Leroy immediately yanked the dagger out of Comet's grasp and attempted to stab Comet in the head, but the prince managed to wrap his talons around Leroy's hand, trying to hold him back. Comet could see the tip of the knife slowly inching towards him, and soon the dagger slowly pierced through Comet's left eye, cutting right through and slowly entering the owl's skull. Comet fell over as blood flowed out from his left eye.

"...Holy shit, you did it" Damon chuckled. Leroy stood still, petrified by what he had just done. "...Did we really make the right decision?" Leroy asked, "Comet was planning to build a city for the Imps...the lowest class citizens...now that we killed him, such a thing might never happen" Leroy stated. "We're in Hell...if he had been the one holding the dagger, he would've ended us without hesitation" Damon told Leroy, "C'mon...we gotta tell Aztech that the job's done" Damon said as he walked back to Comet's room to check up on Stef, Leroy was still frozen in place, shaken up by what had happened, he soon yanked the dagger out of Comet's eye, wiping off pieces of brain before followed after Damon, hoping to forget about what had happened.
