Hell is Better Loud!(The Loud House X Helluva Boss X Hazbin Hotel)

The Ars Goetia, an ancient order of demonic aristocrats that control the daily lives of Hellborns. Within the hierarchy of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar rules above everyone; below the fallen angel, there is his wife Lilith, and their daughter, Charlie. Below the Royal Family, there are the Seven Sins; powerful beings that oversee the governing of Hell's seven rings. And below the Sins, are the Ars Goetia. Within their ranks, aristocrats are given titles that show the importance of their role in maintain 'order' in Hell.

-10 YEARS AGO-

In the most affluent part of Imp City, resides Prince Stolas of the Ars Goetia. The owl Prince lives in a magnificent estate with his wife, Stella, and their young daughter, Octavia. On this night, the young owlet calls for her mother and father.

"Mummy! Daddy!" The little girl cries.

From their marital bed, Prince Stolas is woken and turns to his wife. "Via's calling us, Stella." He sleepily says.

Annoyed and sleepy, Stella gives a careless response. "You get up."

Getting out of bed, Stolas throws on his robe and heads to his daughter's room. Opening the door, the worried prince finds Octavia hiding under a star print blanket. "Via? What troubles you, my owlet?"

"Daddy!" She sobs, climbing down from the bed to run into her father's arms. "I had a dream! Areallybad dream!"

Stolas lifts her up, giving the frightened girl a comforting smile. "A nightmare." He corrected.

"I was looking all over the palace, and... I couldn't find youanywhere! You weren't there!" She cries into her father's shoulder.

"There there, my precious Via, everything is okay." He sooths, summoning his book while walking Octavia back to bed. " When you're scared, and you don't know where I am, you must remember that no matter what happens to me, I will never be far away." Stolas opens his book. "I'll always be there for my special little starfire."

To put his daughter to sleep, Prince Stolas sings her a lullaby. As he sings, the Prince opens a portal above them. Octavia looks into the portal leading to space, awestruck of how beautiful it is. Stolas carries her through the portal onto a barren moon somewhere in the cosmos. During the song, the warm father speaks of how even if he ceases to exist, he promises that his daughter will be okay. The moon they sit on is then pulled into the range of a dying star, creating a display that was as majestic as it was frightening. As the song came to an end, Stolas brought them back to Octavia's room and tucks his daughter into bed. Softly, the Prince leaves the room and quietly closes the door behind him. Alone, young Octavia is left to sleep contently with her father's love.

-PRESENT-

Jolted awake, a teenage Octavia is rudely awakened by the sound of smashing objects coming from the kitchen.

"I can't believe you slept with an IMP, in OUR FUCKING BED!" From the kitchen, Stella angrily berates her husband.

Annoyed at her current home life, Octavia groans as she rising from bed. As he parents continued talking, Octavia puts in her earbuds and plays music. Now dressed, the teen girl makes her way to the kitchen for breakfast, stepping over the remains of a potted plant that was thrown in her path.

Still angry, Stella picks up an imp. "You want to fuck this one, TOO!?" She yells before throwing her servant at her husband.

"No!" Stolas denies, dodging. "Of course not! I don't go around bedding random imps!"

"You are a goddamnembarrassment!I'm not spending another moment looking at yourpathetic, IMP-SUCKING FACE!" The royal declares before storming out the room, yelling and smashing more stuff.

Stolas takes a sigh before he notices his daughter. "Good morning, Octavia! Did you sleep well, my owlet?"

"Is that a serious question?" She sarcastically asks after having some coffee.

Nervous, the Prince goes to the fridge and picks out a piece of zebra meat. "Mhmm... What's that you're listening to?"

"This song is called 'My World is Burning Down Around Me'. It's by, Fuck You Dad." She pauses a moment. "It's a band."

"Oh... how charming." Stolas feeds the meat to a carnivorous plant.

"So, you two done screaming for the day?" The daughter asks, sipping coffee.

"Well..." Another scream interrupts the owl prince, so he decides to do something to brighten their day. "You know what I haven't done in a long,loooongtime? I haven't takenyou to your favorite place in all Hell!"

Octavia looks aside as he father moved in closer. "Where?"

"Loo Loo Land!" Stolas gleefully announces.

"I'm notfive anymore, Dad." Octavia wasn't thrilled.

"Oh, but you always had so much fun when we would go!" He points to a portrait of such a venture. "That's it! We'll go have 'Daddy-Daughter Day', together!"

"I'd... rather kill myself." The young woman wasn't interested.

"I promise you, Via. This will be a day to remember!" Stolas reaches for a rotary phone being held by the imp Stella threw. "Now, I just need to arrange our security."

"Security?" Octavia questioned the reason. "To go to a theme park?"

"We are rich,andwe're hot. People want our moneyand our bodies!" Stolas proudly informs.

The teen begins eating cereal from the box. "Our money, maybe." She talks under her breath.

"Speak for yourself. Now, I'm calling theonly man who can fuck me."

"What?" Via drops some cereal, disgusted.

"I mean, 'Who can protect me'! I mean 'us'!" Stolas makes the call.

Meanwhile, across town at IMP headquarters, Lincoln has just set up a small workspace for himself in front of the window in Blitz's office. It was a simple desk like the one you'd find in a school, but it was expected given Link is still a child; and the office wasn't big enough for anything else.

"I'm serious, Boss." He spoke Blitz across the room. "At some point we'll need to move headquarters."

"Yeah, like fuck to that!" The tall imp refused, reading a horse magazine. "This company is barely pulling enough in as is. Satan damn Sinners, doesn't anyone have a reason kill people anymore!?"

"Barely pulling?" Lincoln questioned. "What about the money I've been bringing in from my second job?"

"Economics, that what happened to it!" He groaned, then spoke under his breath as he grabbed his mug. "Also, those fuckers at the off-track parlor are rigged as Heaven." Steamed, Blitz gets a call. "WHAT!?"

On the other end, Stolas talks lustfully. "Why, hello, my big-dicked Blitzy~"

In sync, both the founder of IMP and Stolas' daughter spit out their coffee, surprised. "What/the/FUCK/Dad!?"

"Language!" Stolas said, facing his daughter then into the phone. "I have a special request~"

"Aw, look, I just had a chemical peel. So, you'll have to find some else's face to plant that ass on." Blitz was not in the mood.

"It's for my daughter."

"Listen, Princey, I don't know what kind of incest shit you're into but I don't get down like that!"

"NO!" Stolas tried to explain. "No, no, no. I taking my daughter to Loo Loo Land, and I was hoping you brave little Imps would accompany us!"

"We're assassins, not bodyguards, got it?" The imp refused. "Don't invite us to shit unless some dies."

"I'll pay~" Stolas enticed.

"Pay me what?" Blitz was more interested.

"Money~"

Before he could respond, Blitz was hit in the head with a pencil erasure by Lincoln. Turing to the boy, Lincoln shows a sign that read, '3 TIMES'. "Three times our regular rate, and we're done!" When he hangs up, Blitz slams his phone on the desk and it breaks to pieces.

"What's he job?" The kid asks.

Blitz holds up a finger, then pulls out a megaphone. "M n' M, get in here! We're goin' to Loo Loo Land!"

"Loo Loo Land?" Lincoln asked, perplexed.

"Loo Loo Land?" Moxxie walked in.

"Loo Loo Land!?" Millie excitedly smashed her head through the glass on the office door.

"Loo Loo Land!" Blitz confirmed.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Loona screams from out the room.

Taking their company van to the Greed Ring, IMP had already picked up Stolas and Octavia at their palace. As their client was an important demon in Hell, the team dressed in their best uniforms today. For Lincoln, that meant his usual IMP uniform but now wearing his new sunglasses. Millie, however, changed into a dress shirt with black blazer and matching tie. Typically, Lincoln would looked out the window to kill time, but the white-haired boy was too nervous about being near the Goetia prince and his daughter. Compared to his time with imps and the hotel gang, the only time Lincoln had spent with Stolas was when he stole the grimoire and beat up the prince's 'boyfriend' in front of him.

Stolas didn't feel any better. He had hoped it would be a simple day out with Octavia, but the appearance of the Sinner boy made it more complicated. Lincoln knew that IMP didn't have permission to be on Earth, and that Stolas gave the company his precious tome to use. If the devil-tailed boy told anyone, it could be a big problem for the Prince and his daughter.

"Good day, Prince Stolas." Lincoln spoke from the shotgun seat. "Have you been well?"

"Me!?" The owl demon tensed. "Oh, yes... very well. Oh, I don't think I've introduced you to my daughter." Stolas gestured to her. "Young man, this is my darling owlet, Octavia."

"Hello, Octavia." He introduced himself with a tip of the hat. "And please, Call me Lincoln."

"Hey." She barely looked at the boy.

Sensing things weren't getting any better, Link thought of sharing stories. "So, Blitz, Stolas, how did you two meet?"

Without knowing it, the newest assassin actually made it tenser in the car. Blitz didn't know a way to tell the story that wasn't going to sound sordid; and Stolas didn't want to tell his daughter of how the strife in their family began. Taking a moment to pick-up on their unease, Lincoln decides to tell his own stories.

"You know, I actually used to have a girlfriend. Well, sort of." He revealed.

"Oh, Really!?" Millie's eyes sparked from the back of the car.

"You've been holding out, Partner!?" Blitz teased.

"Her name is Ronalda Anne Santiago, but everyone calls her Ronnie Anne." Lincoln sheepishly began. "She is an incredible girl. She's smart, fun, cool, and very kind."

"How lovely~" Prince Stolas awed. "What about her made you so smitten?~"

"Well, one time she pantsed at school, then another she put a sloppy joe in my underwear during lunch, stuffed my locker filled with garbage; oh, and the first time I kissed her, she gave me a black eye." He understood his friend could be rough, but Link treasured the memories he had of her. "Wait, I still haven't told the best story! After our 'first date', the next day at school she slapped me in the face, insulted me, and humiliated me in front of my friends." He recalled, fondly.

Compared to the boy lost on memory lane, the other people in the car stared at him, flummoxed. Millie was trying with all her might to not explode with anger while Moxxie held her hand, also upset. Blitz, despite not knowing much about humans, was turned off by how much Lincoln enjoyed that treatment. Stolas, having similar experience with his wife, gulped and patted the boy's shoulder. Lastly, Octavia stared in disgust.

"You know, you should me my Mum." The teen owl responded. "I feel like you'd adore her."

Pretty soon, the van made it to the Loo Loo Land parking lot in Greed. The first thing the young Lincoln noticed was that the sky was green instead of red like in Pride. Next, the urban environment he's seen is even more violent and hazardous than up top. Link did admit the park seemed impressive, if in need of repairs.

Once the car came to a stop, the devil-tail boy got out and opened the door for their clients. After a cramped ride, Stolas got out, excitedly and put on an apple hat. Octavia exited the van, a lot less thrilled before pulling her beanie over her face in embarrassment.

Blitz walked next to Stolas. "Now, remember: this is work and work only. Me and my crew are not here to satisfy your pervertedbirdneeds, alright?"

Octavia, disgusted by the park, interrupts. "Dad... Do we have-?"

"Hold a moment, sweetie." The imp paused the girl before talking to her father. "If you try fuckin' my littleassin that park, I swear to-"

"You are socute when you act serious~" Stolas flirted.

Seeing the display, Via groaned. "I'm literally gonna be sick."

"Oh, crumbs!" Moxxie panicked, opening his fanny-pack. "Don't you worry, I should have whatever we might need in here!"

While the male imp lists medication, Millie looks around the park with pure child-like amusement while Lincoln is on the look for dangers.

"That was figurative, old man." Octavia disregards, heading towards her father.

"Oh, my mistake." Mox sheepishly chuckles as he discards needles into a baby carriage.

Not wanting the imp baby inside to get hurt, Lincoln takes out the tyke's new 'toys' and placed them in inventory. "That was close."

"WoW! I haven't been here since I was a tot!" Millie beamed.

The two white-haired boys saw the 'R' of the 'Core Roll' sign about to crush a guy underneath. Lincoln used his magic 'twhip' spell, or 'Spider Silk', as he calls it, to pull the imp ride attendant out the way. The attendant and the other imp see Lincoln, and the three exchange a mutual thumb-up.

"It hasn't change a bit." Millie commented, before grabbing the boys and pointing to a malformed, animatronic dinosaur. "Loo! It's Big Woobly!"

"Yeah... it's barely different from the parks on Earth." Lincoln lied, sparing her feelings. "You ever came here before, Moxxie?"

"No. Theme parks always... disturbed me." The imp shivered. "Especially, the mascots."

"Well, Hey There!" The park's mascot appeared behind Moxxie, causing him to freak out. "I'm Loo Loo! Welcome to Loo Loo Land! If y'all get hurt here, just try to sue us!"

Hoping to make his daughter happy, Stolas gets into the theme park spirit. "Look, Via! It's Loo Loo!"

Bored, the teen girl decides to have a laugh. "I have a question."

"Well, ask away, little girlie!" The mascot laughs.

"Is it true this park is just a shameless spin-off of Lucifer's far more popular Lu Lu World?" She inquired. "Because to me this entire place just reeks of insecure, unoriginal, corporate shame."

"Now, hold up." Lincoln joined the conversation. "Just because something's a spin-off doesn't mean it's a tasteless rip-off of a more popular brand." He turns to the audience for a moment. "In fact, a spin-off can open more possibilities as it enriches the franchise by introducing a new demographic, new ideas, and a way to give less prominent voices a chance."

"I didn't come here to have a debate." Octavia responds, dryly.

"Oh, where do you usually go?"

Stopping this discussion, Stolas nervously pushes his daughter away. "Why don't we go check out the rides?"

"Augh, those kids are creepy." Loo Loo speaks to Blitz.

"Eh, wait till her dad tries to diddle your holes, and the boy puts your balls in a vice."

The mascot turns to M . "What's that mean?"

"Don't talk to us!" Moxxie pulls his wife and Lincoln away. "I know you're a pervert under there!"

Loo Loo hangs his 'head', dejected. "I know..."

Following Blitz and the client, the three hurry down a pathway with Moxxie sweating profusely.

"So, Millie." The imp regains his composure. "You really like this place, huh?"

"I LOVE this place!" Millie declared. "My parents would bring me and my siblings here when they could swing it. Money-wise."

The three walk over to a giftshop after a worker wheels in a wheelbarrow piled with money. At the window, there is a display of novelty cups and stuffed Loo Loo plushies. According to the price tags, it is incredibly overpriced.

"Yeah... the prices do seem criminal." Moxxie commented.

"Such markup, now I know this place is Hell." Lincoln considered a possibility. "I wonder if Flip could be from Greed?"

"I mean,this much for a novelty cup you'll use once?"

"'Cause, it'sLoo Loo Land!" The female used that as her defense.

Blitz walks up, having bought a novelty cup and a drinking hat, nudges Moxxie. "Listen to your hoe, Mox." The boss agrees. "How 'bout I take the first watch while you three go have some fun?"

"Are you sure you won't need back up, Boss?" Lincoln offered.

"Nah, besides, I don't think the Prince's little girl is too fond of you, Snowcap."

"OOOOH! We gotta do my favorite ride!" Millie picks her husband over her head while pulling Lincoln along with her tail.

"Oh, yeah? Which one?" The male imp asks.

Millie looks to a roller coaster named "The Lawsuit". At the top of the track, the coaster plunges at a 90-degree drop so fast it catches fire and the rider holds on for dear life. It was obvious it was a very violent ride. And Millie pulled the boys in, happily.

"Oh, crumbs." Moxxie, terrified, mutters.

A short time later, Moxxie is vomiting into a trash can after leaving the ride. To his her husband's pain, Millie sympathetically rubs his back. Next to them, Lincoln is standing nonchalantly while on fire. Behind the group, a family of imps walk-by covered in vomit as they glare disapprovingly at Moxxie. From the nearby petting zoo, a massive dragon pokes its head out to glare at the imp as well.

"Lincoln... are you okay?" Moxxie said, weakly.

"Sure, why do you ask?" The boy answered, scratching the dragon under the chin.

"You are, quite literally, on fire right now, Sugarcube." Millie commented, a little concerned by the boy's lack of worry.

"It'll be alright. My uniform will repair itself after my blood kills the flames." Link explained, the fire growing weaker. "Just give it a moment."

In another section of Loo Loo land, Stolas and Octavia are walking along while Blitz takes positions around them with his rifle. Surprising given the imp's attitude, he was taking his job very seriously today. Unseen by the royals, a group of imps creep up behind a section of booths with intent to capture Stolas. But they scatter quickly when Blitz looks their direction.

"You know, it's a bit ofthrill seeing you on the job, Blitzy." Stolas flirting, he strokes the imp's horn.

"Save it, I'm working." Blitz brushes him off.

"You both need to get a room." Via tries to hide her face.

"Hey, I'm not a day-hooker!" Saying this, a woman walks past with a baby on back, glaring at Blitz. "What? I said I'mnot one, prude!"

"Oh! Look, Via!" Stolas gasps, pointing to a carnival tent. "You used to cry such tears of joy here!"

"Oh, no..." Octavia panicked inward.

Flashing back to when she was still a young girl, the little owlet is pushed against the stage by an excited mob of imp children. Then, an advanced animatronic made in the likeness of a popular imp jester called a 'Robo-Fizz', sparks and scarily performs with an animatronic band as young Octavia breaks into tears. Away from the stage, a younger Blitz is painted as a clown while tending to a cart; he is clearly not happy to see the robot. Returning to the present, both Octavia and Blitz have the same response to seeing the tent.

"I hate that fucking clown." They speak in near unison.

While recalling the past, Stolas was captured and hoisted up by the previous crew of imps. The bird's arms are bound and his head covered by a cloth sack.

"Oh, Blitzy~" Stolas calls, unconcerned. "I need my bodyguard, please!"

As one of the abductors tries to skewer Stolas with a pitchfork, Blitz shoots the imp in the torso, splattering blood over Stolas' head. The IMP boss carries his client inside and places him next to Via, who then rips the sack of her father's head. Appearing on the stage, the Robo-Fizz glitches.

[Hey-hey-heyyyy, Implings! It's me, the Robotic Fizzarolli! Shipped from Big Ozzie's factory to bring you a wonderful show celebrating Loo Loo Land; spelled with 'O's, to avoid lawsuits! H-H-H-Hit it!]

The animatronic demon performs a song that preaches how amazing Loo Loo Land is, despite demonstrating that the park doesn't value its patrons and has no original ideas. Outside, the trio of Lincoln, Moxxie, and Millie walk along a row of game booths when a carny addresses them. Millie gleefully pulls the boys to see.

"Hello, hello! Step right up and win aThing!" The carny points to the plushies.

Full of childish wonder, Millie points to one. "Oh, Look, Moxxie! AThing!"

The so called 'Thing', appeared to be a stuffed, purple penguin with imp horns and wearing pink overalls. For name, it was just labeled as 'THING?'.

"Is that not a native hell beast?" Lincoln questioned.

"You like that thing?" Moxxie asked, confident.

"YESSS! I don't really know what that thing is but I want that Thing!" Millie declared.

"Ah, something I can handle." Her husband acted smug, handing some money to the carny. "One game, please!"

The carny hands Moxxie a toy pistol with a projectile cork in the muzzle. Without even looking, he effortlessly hits the target right in the bullseye. Unusual, the target didn't get knocked down. While the imp marksman is impressed with himself, blowing smoke clear from the pistol, the carny breaks the news.

"Oh! Strike one, little man!"

"Strike one?" Moxxie looks at the target then to the carney. "But, I hit it!"

"Yeah, I saw it make the bullseye!" Lincoln defended.

"Ah~ Well, you see that target, little fella? Notice how it isn't down? That means, ya Pa here doesn't win the thing." The imp carny mocked.

Upset by the treatment, Lincoln narrows his eyes. "Okay, my turn." Link puts a penny on the counter.

The boy takes the toy gun and walks a distance away from the stand. After he takes a bite out his thumb, Lincoln smears his blood on the pistol. Metamorphized, the toy now becomes a futuristic pistol with a menacing smiley face design on the muzzle. Amazing the people who saw it, Link gets ready to fire. Similar to his sonic pistol, but when he fired the energy blast scattered and hit every target at the booth. By the time it was finished, the targets were vaporized and the carny was deeply afraid.

"Home Run!" Lincoln declares, getting applause.

As the boy returns to the married couple, the carney hands over all the prizes before putting his hands up in surrender.

"Way to go, Baby!" Millie congratulates him with a hug. "That's how show a bastard whose boss!"

"That was something, Lincoln!" Moxxie made a pun. "I would have gotten the prize eventually, but it's good to see I got my moneys worth."

"Thanks, M !" Link was about to put this pistol in inventory when he got an idea. "Quick question, do you think I should havetwo of these?"

"Honey, when life gives ya a situation like that, the answer is always, YES!" Millie encouraged.

Back in the tent, the Robo-Fizz is finishing his song. A small display of pyrotechnics go off as the owl prince cheers loudly for the show. Meanwhile, Octavia and Blitz were deeply bored and angered by the entire thing.

"How delightful!" Behind Stolas, an imp tries to attack with a knife but Blitz blows their head off, scaring the children in audience. "Oh, my~ Whataim you have, Blitzy!" Stolas flirts.

"Ugh! I can't take this anymore!" Furious, Octavia storms off.

When the prince follows after his daughter, Blitz tries to do the same but the mockery of the robot stops him.

"Is that Blitzomy sensors spot up the-e-e-ere? I bet the kiddies are still running away fromyou, huh?" The Fizz mocks.

"The 'o' is silent now!" Blitz yells.

" A-Aw, just like your audience always was when you to-told your lazy jokes here!"

The assassin throws down his visors. "Bitch, I making more killing people than you can being a cheap-ass ripoff of an overrated, sellout JESTER!"

"Oh! Somebody's salty! Real or not, though, people lo-o-ve me! Does anybody love you... BLITZ-O?" The robot sounded more demonic.

"No. But, I'm really good with guns now." He fires a the robot "Dance, bitch!"

Going full blast, Blitz gets into a fire fight with the android that results in the tent being set on fire. Outside, the imp couple and Lincoln walking by the tent. Millie is holding her plushies tight while Moxxie and Lincoln are eating funnel cake. They see Octavia running towards a fun house with Stolas following her. No sooner, Blitz is thrown out from above and lands into a cart of lit torches that start a fire in the park.

"Looks like we should split up." The devil-tailed boy commented. "Who wants to watch the Owls, and who wants to watch Blitz?"

"We'll handle Blitz, keep these safe." Millie handed the toys over to the boy for storage. "It's best for a child to talk to a child."

Lincoln goes after the Goetia demons.

Stolas enters the fun house, revealed to be a surreal room filled with eyes, strange tubs, fun mirrors, and even disembodied hands. Going further in, the Prince searches for her but cannot tell where she's gone. A shadow appears from behind, a random imp jumps on the royal.

"Um, I think I'm supposed to be bodyguarded right now!" Stolas demanded, annoyed.

The owl demon has his mouth covered by the imp, but he is suddenly pulled off with Lincoln's spider silk and thrown outside. The boy threatens the imp with a pistol before they run off.

"Ugh, that's better." Stolas wiped his beak. "Where is Blitzy? He's my knight in shining armor, not you little one."

"The Boss is a little... busy." Lincoln gave an excuse. "I'm here to look after you and Octavia."

"Very well, come. We should be able to find her." Stolas took the lead.

Using his magic senses, Lincoln easily located her. "She's down this way, but we should be cautious."

"Are their more kidnappers?"

"No, teenage girls can be a whirlwind of emotions." The boy explained. "My sister, Lori, she can go from being a loving big sis, to a angry drill sergeant, to a crying wreck in under a minute."

"I see... you know much about adolescent girls?" Stolas inquired.

"I like to think I do. I do have ten sisters at home."

"Ten sisters!? And you all live together?" Stolas could understand having many siblings.

"And we all shared one bathroom." Lincoln giggled. "Actually, if my younger sister, Lucy, got to meet you, she'd be squealing with joy."

"Is that so? Tell me... how old are they?"

Lincoln considered. "Well, the oldest, Lori, she's 18; and my youngest sister, Lily, she's around 2 or so."

"Ha, the eldest is barely older than my own, and you have ten sisters who'll be that age one day." Stolas thought back to when Via was younger.

"Prince Stolas, forgive me if I'm out of place, but is there something going on with you and her?" True, the boy has been curious for a while.

"Indeed. Me and Stella, Octavia's mother, having been arguing lately."

"Octavia's mother?" This caught Link off guard. "You're ex-wife, or something?"

"Mycurrent wife." The owl demon looked away.

The story was now clearer to the boy; Stolas has been having an affair with Blitz, the prince's wife found out, and now Octavia's home life is a mess. Soon, the two reached the room where the teen girl was hiding. Crying, she rides in an apple-themed rail car going in circles. Stolas discards his Loo Loo Land hat, but Lincoln stops him before the prince can continue.

"Sometimes..." He speaks in a low volume. "When my sisters are sad, instead of crying the may get angry or respond with disdain. I think, she doesn't hate you, Sir. She's just... afraid. Afraid that things are changing now, and she has no control over what happens next. Just remember."

Gathering all the courage he can muster, Stolas approaches. "I take it... you're not having fun."

"I didn't even want to come here!" Octavia sobs.

Stolas takes a seat beside her. "I'm so sorry, Sweetie. I... I thought you loved it here."

Octavia sniffles. "When I was a kid... and when my parents didn't hate each other... and my dad didn't flirt with some... weird, red dickhead the entire time."

"I'm sorry, Via. I'm sorry for everything... everything that's happening right now. I know it's... a lot. I... I should have listened."

"I just want to go home... but home doesn't even feel like home anymore... You ruined it." She looked away.

It was obvious that they both were afraid, sad, and hurting, and the best way to help people hurting is by sharing your own. Lincoln walked up and sat on the railing in front of them.

"I want to go home too." He shared. "I was killed... not even a week ago. It was a regular day, I was going to school with my friends, and then I was killed by my vice-principal." Lincoln tilted his head and removed the dial, then mimed getting stabbed in the back of the neck and dying before he put it back. "I can still remember the last time I saw my friends; Clyde, Rusty, Liam... Stella, and Zach." The boy tried not to linger on a friend who shared a name with Via's mom. "They came to try to rescue me; but when they did, they saw me bleeding to death in Millie and Moxxie's arms. … I can still see the horror in their eyes when they thought I was dead. Then, I came to Hell; I've been up to Earth a few times, but never back home." Lincoln chuckles a little. "It's funny, I want to see the people I love again, but I'm too afraid to return to them... and tell them I can't be with them without getting myself and the people I love in trouble with Heaven." He looks to the owl demons. "The thing I envy about you two, at least you have each other. As long as you have family, you can always have a home."

Crying more, Octavia says what's been on her mind for a while. "Are you gonna run off with him? And leave me behind? Go away where... I can't find you?"

"What? No! No, no,never.I'd never do that.Never." Stolas held his daughter tight. "I think it's time to leave this place. You were right. Youaretoo old for it, anyway."

The demonic prince carries his daughter while the white-haired boy walks beside him. As they leave, another imp watches from a hole in the ceiling. They drop down and flicks open a switchblade to attack. Lincoln, seeing the attack coming, points his new dual pistols at him.

"Buddy, don't throw your life away." The boy warns, but the imp is turned to stone. Link looks up and sees that Stolas had done it. "Wow, you think you teach me how to do that?"

"I don't know... teaching Goetian magic to Sinners would be a problem." The owl prince mused.

"Think of it like this, if Princess Charlie hears your supporting the survival of her citizens, that puts the Morningstar family in your corner if news of you... 'relationship' comes out." Lincoln spoke low.

"Mr. Kid, are you blackmailing my father in order to learn magic?" Octavia feigned shock before turning to her dad. "I think we can trust him."

"If you insist~" Stolas agreed.

As they leave the fun house, Lincoln and the royals pass through the park as it's now become a full blown warzone. IMP still in battle with the Robo-Fizz, Millie tries to shoot the robot but it rolls around wildly. As it tries to attack Blitz, the same dragon from earlier, with Moxxie riding it, catches the robot in its mouth and swallows it whole. Keeping up with the Goetia, Lincoln gives his team the thumbs-up. Soon, the boy and his clients walk out the park as it's reduced to flames.

"So, what would you like to do now?" Stolas asked his daughter.

"Oh, can we go to Stylish Occult?" Octavia asked. "They sell weird taxidermy."

"Ooh~" Lincoln likes the idea. "I second! Lucy might love something like that for her Junior Morticians Club."

"Hmm, okay..." The Prince reluctantly agrees.

Via laughs. "Thanks, Dad. You're okay, sometimes"

"Thank you, Via." Stolas pulls in his daughter close. "Thank you."

"I think that would be for the best." Moxxie allowed. "We might have to go silent for a while as we just ruined a good thing here. Right, Sir?"

"Worth it!" Blitz has no regrets here. "That slutty toy clown had it comin'! Also, good for you, Ice King!"

"Oh, just give me a minute to get an overnight bag ready, Honey!" Millie supported.
