Henry was exhausted. Attempt after attempt he tried to free himself from the shackles of his prison. But he was unable to free himself. He kept trying for the sake of Octavia and everyone else he cared for. But was soon out of strength. But he refused to stop there. He was about to try again when he soon heard a conversation.
"Fuck! This is like as maze in here!"
"Sir! I told you to listen to Octavia! She knows the mansion all too well!"
"To be fair Moxxie, I've never been here before."
"What?"
Henry can tell that was Octavia among the group. He managed to build up enough strength to get their attention. "GUYS! I'm here!"
"Henry!?" Octavia shouted back. She soon started running to where the sound was, while also being followed by IMP. "Henry! Where are you?!"
"I'm Here! Keep following my voice!"
They continued this for quite some time until they eventually found him. Octavia rushed towards him but can go no further as he was behind bars as well as being chained. She was able to reach out for his hand while smiling.
"Henry. Thank Hell you're ok."
"I'm glad to see you too...I...Whoa." Henry felt disorientated at the moment. He tried to shake it off. He got back to his senses but he could feel that he was still off.
"What's wrong with him? He's acting like he hasn't slept in days." Millie commented.
Octavia examined the chains. She gasped in horror. "No. These..."
"Are chains meant for sinners. Yes. Not for mortals." A voice echoed from behind them. The four turned around to see Alexander.
"Father..." Henry spited with hate.
"Wait? He's your dad?!" Blitzo asked in utter shock.
"Oh crumbs. He's an Overlord!" Moxxie added.
Alexander was about to mock them when he sees IMP. He looked at them carefully until he soon discovered who they are. His eyes glowed red with malice as his words came out like acidic mist. "YOU!"
Blitzo looked back and forth in confusion as he pointed at himself. "Me?"
"Is it someone you messed with?" Moxxie asked.
"It's you three Imps! All three of you!" Alexander shouted.
"Us?" Moxxie asked.
"Wait...I think I remember something about us taking down a rich asshole." Millie pointed out.
"Oh yea! Now I remember! Alexander Blight! Our target!" Moxxie snapped his finger.
"Wait...you?" Henry asked.
"These three killed me." Alexander hissed. "Because of them, I lost my fortune to you, and my family's legacy tarnished. All because you low class trash took my life!"
"Well soooory! We were just doing our job!" Moxxie said.
"Exactly!" Blitzo agreed. "Someone wanted you dead! They paid in advanced and we spent it on a building! So you had to!"
Alexander stared at them with such hatred that one would think that he was forming fire or acid right onto them. But after a few seconds, he scoffed. "No matter. After all, I have found an opportunity to obtain more power than ever. Soon, I will rise back up and continue my legacy."
"What do you mean?" Octavia asked.
"I lose my mansion. My power. My money, will, and everything when these Imps killed me. So I will take it all back."
"YOU CAN'T! Overlords are forbidden from taking over the mortal realm!"
"Perhaps." Alexander then hover his hand as he conjured magic and lifted all four up. "But when I get enough power and overthrown Lucifer, I will attack everything. I will become a god."
"You're no god. You're just a poor excuse of a father. I'm actually glad that they took your life...I'm glad Bogumierz met me. I'm glad to have met Octavia. You can rot here." Henry spoke up.
"As if I would need you anymore. As long as those chains are on you, you will soon lose your life. But I can always make another. As far as I'm concern, you are not my son." Alexander stated coldly.
"Wow. Give this fucker an award for shittiest father in the world." Blitzo joked.
"And I thought my dad was bad." Moxxie added.
Henry looked at Octavia with and tried to find the strength to break free. But with every second passes, he was slowly losing life. Everything was getting blurry, disoriented. He even felt so tired. Octavia sees this and was in a state of panic that she started to change.
"LET! HIM! GO!" She shouted as she changed shape into something Blitzo has seen before: A large shadowy like avian demon like Stolas's demonic form. But unlike her father, Octavia's was a Maroon color instead of dark red color. This also caught Alexander by surprise. He was told that Octavia couldn't use that form yet.
In her new state, Octavia circle around the area, engulfing everything in darkness. And soon, everything was back to normal. Only, it wasn't. Only Alexander was alone. Henry, the Imps, and Octavia were gone.
"Those fools." Alexander scoffed.
- somewhere else -
Octavia was in the large empty room where Paimon made is appearance before. She was able to revert back to her normal self as she and the others fell to the ground. Henry was free from his shackles, but he was still weak from the affects. Blitzo, Millie, and Moxxie were all flabbergasted over what happened.
"What the fuck was that?! When did you learn how to do that?!" Blitzo asked Octavia.
Octavia felt a little dizzy from using that form. But she was able to snap out of it to answer. "I...I don't know. I...HENRY!" She soon rushed towards him as he was trying to get up.
"I'm ok...I'm ok." Henry said as he tried to get his senses straight. "I just need a minute.
Henry was surprised when the owl girl hugged him tightly. He smiled sand hugged her back as they were reunited once more. The three imps were proud of themselves for escaping an overlord as well as completing their mission. But Moxxie spoke. "Maybe we should met the others before celebrating too soon."
"I agree. Octavia. Do you know the way out?" Millie asked.
Before Octavia could ask. Henry notices something in the distance. His eyes widen in shock. He pushed Octavia out of the way before a loud sound was heard.
BANG!
Octavia shook her head and saw what truly horrified her: Henry was shot.
"HENRY!"
"WHAT THE FUCK!?!" Blitzo asked in shock before they heard footsteps. They looked to see Stella was there, holding a blessed pistol on her hand. She was giving off an evil smile, one that fits well with a witch.
"That takes care of that trash. Now for the rest of you." Stella stated coldly.
"HOW CAN YOU DO THIS!?! WHAT KIND OF FUCKING WITCH ARE YOU!?!" Octavia screamed as she tried to help Henry.
"DON'T YOU FUCKING RAISE YOUR TONE AT ME! I AM YOUR MOTHER!"
"YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER! NEVER!"
Before Stella could react, Alexander appeared next to her. "Stella. Remember that Octavia is to be alive until the wedding. Or did you forget?"
"I haven't." She responded.
"What are you talking about?" Blitzo asked.
"Isn't it obvious? The wealth. The power. Everything Stolas owned. And also," Stella stared at Blitzo, "You. What he sees in you is beyond me!"
"You're not the only one lady." Blitzo sighed.
"It makes no difference. Now you will all face the wrath of a true Overlord!"
All of a sudden, they heard a laugh while a radio was playing music. In the shadows, Alastor appeared. "True Overlord? You? HA! What a funny joke."
"Who are you?" Alexander asked.
"Alastor, The Radio Demon." Alastor bowed. "A pleasure to meet you. Though I can't say the same to the woman with no power." Alastor looked at Stella in a mocking way.
Stella's face turned red with such hate. "WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALK-" She could finish as dark magic engulfed her by Alastor's power.
"Hmm...No one." He snapped his finger and Stella was thrown into the distance while she screamed profanity. The imps, even Octavia was amazed. Alastor then looked at the imps. "Sorry. But if you don't mind, I have business with...Alexander was it? Yes. I have business to settle. So..." Alastor snapped his finger and the Imps, Octavia, and Henry were teleported.
Alexander scowled. "I see. So that girl made a deal with you."
"Yes. She was desperate. And to be fair, you, and this family, put her into this situation. Not that it's any of my business."
Alexander started to change shape. "You think a fool like you can stand up to me?!"
Alastor laughed. "I don't think." His started to change to. "I KNOW!!"
