Chapter 23: Rescue Battle Part 3

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."
