Hoco in Helluva Boss (READ STORY DESCRIPTION)

Mammon's magnificent musical mid-season special (ft. Fizzarolli)

I was eating some cereal and watching a weird movie with Blitz.
"Thanks again for inviting me over Blitz. I don't know where my dad ran off to but he's not picking up his phone.." I said.
"Not a problem Hoco! Since Loona is out at another party." He said before scooping some cereal and putting it in his mouth and eating. Just then his phone rang. "Yello?" He asked, accidentally putting the phone on speaker phone so I could hear it too.
"Is this- Fizz's former bestie, then lifelong enemy, then recent hero, now newly rekindled sort of friend, Blitz?" I nearly choked when I heard the voice, recognizing it as Asmodeus.
"Ehn, that is a weird way to put it, but eeyup, that's me." He said, giving me a small shrug.
"This is Asmodeus." He said. Blitz looked at me, obviously surprised.
"Oh shit, the big Ozz himself! Heh, is there a reason you're calling me on the weekend Your sin- sinness? Sinfulness? Sin-" He looked at me and I pretended to bow. "Royal, big man?" He said. I stared at him before face palming.
"You've lived rent free in Fizz's head for years, so I can't help feel he values your take on things." He said. Blitz and I exchanged glances. I scooped another spoonful of cereal and was about to put it in my mouth.
"Yeah, I was the one who usually had the stronger opinions. Yeah like, like one time, he tried convincing me that juggling was cool, but it's only a little cool at best." Blitz said. He gave me a look at I took a bite.
"Look, he's deadset on re-entering Greed's yearly clown pageant." Asmodeus said. I rolled my eyes.
"Wow, big fucking surprise there." Blitz said sarcastically, causing me to chuckle. I went back to watching the movie, pretending I wasn't listening.
"I was hoping to have some... Backup in convincing him that this thing is a waste of time." Asmodeus said.
"What? why? Doesn't he always win?" Blitz asked.
"Cause Mammon is a selfish, manipulative, piece of shit!" Asmodeus quickly calmed himself down. "And Fizz doesn't listen to me when I try to tell him that."
"Well, my special skills are killing things without giving fucks, and pointing out people's flaaaws..." I looked away and Blitz looked at me. He looked at my broken leg. "Yeah but I'm also here with a friend. And her leg is broken." He said.
"If it's Hoco bring her along too." Asmodeus told him. I choked and coughed up some cereal.
"Ya up for it Hoco?" Blitz asked me.
"A chance to expose Mammon for the fucktard he is!? Hell yeah!" I told him.
"Alright we're in!" Blitz said. I quickly limped and grabbed my crutches. I quickly started using them as Blitz helped me down the stairs and into the limo that pulled up. I got excited and got in. We waited until we were in the greed ring and got out. I was the last to get out and just followed after Fizzarolli. The crowd almost immediately annoyed me.
"We love you, Fizz! Yeah, baby, yeah!!" They shouted. I rolled my eyes and ignored them as I followed after Fizzarolli.
"Wow, I have not been to a crowded event in years." Blitz said.
"Me neither." I said.
"Can you remind me why you two here, again?" Fizz asked. I winced a little. Hurt by his question.
"I uuuh- invited them. To help you, with extra security. You know your fans. Since I can't be with you, I felt they'd be the next best thing." Asmodeus asked.
"I can understand Hoco. But he'd be the next best thing?" Fizzarolli asked. I could tell he was mainly talking about Blitz.
"Well he kept you safe when I wasn't able to, so I trust that." Asmodeus said.
"Fair." I said. I had a little trouble moving past Blitz since one of my crutches started to shake.
"Hoco?" I heard a familiar voice. I turned around and was surprised to see the beautiful owl girl.
"Octavia! What are you doing here?" I asked.
"You weren't answering my calls so I had my dad make a portal for me to come and see you. I hope you don't mind." She said looking away a bit.
"No! Never! I would never mind! Come on!" I told her as we all began to walk away. We both suddenly stopped as Mammon appeared in front of us.
"Aaay, there he is!" He grabbed Fizzarolli by the jaw. "Now how's my bright, shiny, brand baby doing? Ready to reclaim your win another year? Yeah?" I opened my mouth to tell him to stop being so rough with Fizzarolli when he extended his leg and kicked me in the shin. I winced and nearly crumbled.
"You know it, Mammon sir." Fizzarolli said. He placed Fizzarolli down.
"Goooood, cause, you know, I saw your competition, and it's pretty stiff, right? You are gonna have to try extra hard like- fixin' that posture. Not gonna lie, you're looking a bit chungo, yeah?" Blitz and I exchanged disbelief glances. Octavia almost said something but I quickly shook my head.
"Maybe lose a few so we don't gotta make any more adjustments to the Fizzies. People like 'em skinny as fuck." Mammon said. Fizzarolli began to look awkward.
"Oh- right, sir. Of course! I'll work on that." Fizzarolli said. My jaw nearly dropped as Blitz and I shouted at the same time.
"What?!" We shouted. Blitz quickly walked up and I used my crutches and went over.
"Oh? And who's this dumpster-diver ya got here with ya?" Mammon asked, looking at Blitz. He didn't even notice me.
"Hi, yes, nice to meet you, I'm the one who saw through your fake-ass bullshit from the day I had to spend all my savings on the shit covered, dick show you called a performance. Thanks for that, by the way." Blitz said.
"And nice to meet you from my end you greedy ass licking hoarder." I said. Mammon looked at me. Fizzarolli quickly moved in front of him.
"Haha- ha- ignore them, sir. They're uh- he's like this all the time. He thinks he's funny." Quickly gesturing to Blitz. He was about to say something about me but Mammon started laughing.
"I like this one. She has creative language." He said. Rubbing my head. I snarled lightly. "Maybe we should start making fuck-creations of her!" Mammon said. I looked at Octavia. Hoping she'd have something to say but clearly she was just as uncomfortable as I was. I backed away and Octavia began to help me fix my hair. By the time we finished Octavia helped me go up to Fizzarolli as he was talking.
"Well, I don't wanna assume, but, as always, I have an act that's without a doubt gonna-" Fizzarolli was interrupted.
"Fucking lose!" A couple of fish girls said. Octavia and I exchanged annoyed glances.
"Oooh, fun. You gals gonna be competing as well? That's really nice." Fizzarolli said.
"You can shut up now you fugly imp."
"Yeah, see we didn't come to chat, we came to win." I gave Octavia my crutches.
I ain't letting that shit slide.
I limped over.
"Since you're as sexy as your attitudes are I'm sure you'll just give Fizzarolli the boost he needs to win." I told them. Crossing my arms. The fish girls growled lightly at me. "Oh I didn't realize you two were hellhounds in disguise! You two must be so ugly you at to give yourselves 2/10 on the sexy rating scale!" I said. The fish girls flipped me off before walking away very angry. I chuckled and started laughing. Octavia gave me back my crutches. Fizzarolli looked flustered as we walked away.
"Aw man, I didn't give a rat's ass about this competition, but Christ on a stick Fizz, pile drive those sluts." Blitz said. Octavia helped me. I fell behind and it took me a long time to catch up. Luckily I did right before Mammon began.
"My very own pride and joy, the marketable son I never had, Fizzarolli! And the surprisingly funny women act that made me reflect on my earlier statements: The Glam Sisters! Now we're gonna have a quick meet 'n greet with our finalists..." He said. Blitz waved me over so I moved as fast as I could and easily caught up. He disappeared so I had Octavia help me find Fizzarolli. I went up to him just as Blitz came from the ceiling.
"Wow Fizz, you let him talk to you like that? You got some kinda secret kink I should know about or something?" Blitz asked.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Mammon just disrespected the fuck out of Fizz." He said.
"It's just how he is." Fizzarolli said, trying to defend Mammon.
"I mean shit, if he talked to me that way-" Blitz began but Fizzarolli interrupted. "Ugh, it's fine." Fizzarolli said before walking away and talking to the fans. Leaving Blitz and I staring at each other confused. I asked Octavia to hide behind the curtain as Blitz and I went over to Fizzarolli.
"I hope you're excited for the biiig finale!" Fizzarolli shouted. Suddenly we all heard someone shouting.
"Boo! Boo! Sellout piece of shit!" Someone shouted. Fizzarolli suddenly looked nervous.
"Uh- wh- c-come again?" Fizzarolli asked as some guy began to climb over all the other fans.
"Except now, I have to see your smug face plastered on everything, everywhere! And, you can read all about it on my review blog: fuck-Fizz-but-not-in-a-sexy-way dot-compainer, dot-com, dot-org, dot-gov." He shouted.
"Hey fuckface! Get over here!" I shouted at him. He did exactly that. He began to come over.
"Hah, well, anyway folks, heh-" Fizzarolli began.
"You're not even a clown anymore. All you do is work at that overpriced, sleaze joint, and then every year, you come back here to put us through the same tired, old routine. Is there a single, original idea in that head?" He walked past me, kicking one of my crutches so I fell down as he approached Fizzarolli.
"I uh- uh- uuuh-" Fizzarolli stuttered.
"You fucking suck, and so do your products. Your sex-bots can't even get me off right, you know-" He said. I began to growl until Blitz dropped in front of him with his gun in hand. "What? Still think you're too good to even talk to me? Still gotta get this chump to stand in for you? You're fucking pathetic. To think, what we could've been together... if you hadn't been too up your own ass to listen-" I opened my mouth but Blitz beat me to it first.
"Yeah, one more word out of you, Twat-stain, Imma blow your head clean open in front of all these fucking kids." Blitz told him. The guy began to laugh. I felt my blood boil as I ignored the pain in my leg. I grabbed him and spun him around. Giving him a solid right hook across his face. A few of his teeth got knocked out as he fell. His glasses broke.
"You're not done with me, Fizzarolli." He said. I stomped on his chest. He yelled in pain as I kicked him the ribs.
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE SCUMBAG!" I shouted as I threw him. I suddenly heard rapid breathing. I turned around and saw Blitz holding Fizzarolli. "Fizz!" I shouted as I tried to go over to him.
"Hey, hey- woah woah, you good?" Blitz asked. Mammon appeared and threw Blitz. Quickly grabbing Fizzarolli. The pain kicked back in and I fell down. Octavia rushed over to me and gave my crutches back. She helped me up. I looked back and noticed that Fizzarolli, Blitz, and Mammon were gone. Octavia quickly helped me to the back. We both decided to skip the glam girls' or whatever performance. Fizzarolli was making me worry so I had Octavia wait as I went into his dressing room. I quickly threw my crutches aside.
"Fizz. We need to talk." I told him.
"Not now!" He said, trying to put make up on. I walked over and grabbed his hand. "Let go of me!" He shouted. I turned him around and made him look into my eyes.
"You're mentally stressed. Tell me what's going on." I told him.
"Nothing!" He lied.
"Fizz." I grabbed whatever I could find and sat on it. "I may not be your pet anymore. But that doesn't mean I don't know you. Tell me what's going on. And I can tell when you lie." I grabbed his hand and gently squeezed it. "You can trust me." Fizzarolli began to tear up. He hugged me and I hugged him back.
"Mammon gave me everything when I lost everything. I met Ozzie. I got a good gig. I got good jobs. I'm who I am because of Mammon.." He confessed. I paused and shook my head. I gently grabbed his chin. I made him look at me.
"Fizz. Mammon didn't make you who you are. You are who you are because you are Fizzarolli. Mammon can't change who you are. He thinks he can control you because of the favors. But he's already gotten way more then his fair share of what he gave you." I gently let him go and grabbed both of his hands. "You are Fizzarolli. Mammon can't change you. I can't change you. Asmodeus can't change you. No one can change you. But you. If Mammon things he can control you and work you until you drop. You need to do what is best for you Fizz. You're my friend and I always cared about you." I told him.
"But I can't just quit! He's done so much for me!" He said.
"Quitting is up to you. Mammon can't stop you. And I'm not letting anyone stop you. I'm not saying you need to. But the choice is yours." I told him before slowly getting up. "If he's going to continue being a dick sucking fucktard. Then I'm hoping you'll choose to quit. A two minute notice if you will." I told him. Fizzarolli stretched and grabbed my crutches. Handing them to me. I smiled at him before leaving the room.
"Is he okay?" Asmodeus asked. I jumped a bit since I didn't notice him.
"Ask for yourself." I said before going away with Octavia. We decided to wait until Fizzarolli preformed. We smiled at each other as I gave Octavia a quick brief on what happened. I felt my phone ring and I picked it up.
"You've got Hoco." I said.
"Hoco, it's Blitz. I killed that fucker that you punched earlier. If you have any plans to disrespect his corpse go ahead." He said before hanging up.
"Uuuh- D-Don't worry, folks. I-I'm sure Fizzarolli will be out soon with a grand fucking performance." Mammon said before the explosion. As Fizzarolli began to sing Octavia and I began to dance. Well, she danced, it was hard with crutches for me. After he was almost done singing Octavia and I went over to the stage and hid behind the curtain.
"Thank you all so much. You know, it's always been one of the greatest thrills of my life performing. And I'm so glad to bring you all one, last show." We giggled as we got up on the stage. I smiled at Fizzarolli. "Cuz' now... I quit!" He dropped the my microphone and I went over to him just as Mammon appeared. I used my tail and blew the smoke away from Octavia and I.
"QUIT? You miserable piece of shit! What do you mean quit?" Mammon asked. I growled and got in between them.
"He means he quits slugs for ears. He's done." I said.
"G'day, mate!" Fizzarolli said with an Australian accent. I was about to go back with Octavia when there was a sudden explosion. I fell down and Fizzarolli was about to help me up when something pierced through my foot.
"MOTHER FUCKER!" I yelled in pain. Fizzarolli stared at Mammon as Octavia which my grabbed my crutches and tried to help me up again.
"You fucking ungrateful little shit! I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING! YOU'RE PRACTICALLY IN MY IMAGE! I RAISED YOU LIKE THE SON I DIDN'T WANT!" Mammon shouted. Asmodeus showed up. Octavia quickly helped me up and we dashed like hell to hide behind the curtains. She quickly tried attending to my foot.
"You'd better back the fuck up, Mamm." We heard Asmodeus say in his demonic voice.
"Ha-ha, hooo. Look who's acting like a big fuckin' hero. Careful what you say, Ozzie. Wouldn't want your little secret getting out, would we?" Mammon said. I felt a bit confused and peaked through the curtain.
"I don't care anymore!" Asmodeus shouted.
"Ozz?" Fizzarolli asked.
"Because if you let him quit, I could tell everyone here that you-" Mammon started but Asmodeus interrupted.
"What? That I love him? Well, I do!" Asmodeus shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.
That hypocritical piece of shit...
"Oh... uh, shit, ah, you dirty bitch. You are gonna regret revealing that, Ozz." Mammon said before disappearing. I went back behind the curtain and quickly hugged Octavia to shield her from the giant explosion as Mammon disappeared. I couldn't believe my ears.
The sin of lust. So quick to trash on others.. Me.. For loving Octavia.. In love? But why didn't.. Why...?
I didn't even notice that I just instantly started following Octavia, who was following Blitz. Back to the limo, where we all got driven home.
