Soul Searching Gone Wrong

Blitzø looked on in sorrow as he watched Stolas dance with this"Better Than Blitzø" guy. He then noticed Verosika walking up the stairs to the indoor balcony. He was going to follow to her, but then he stopped to think

"Maybe I should just leave, my apologies aren't gonna be enough to make her anger at me disappear." Blitzø thought

Blitzø walked out to his van & decided to take a drive before going back to Hell. A moment later, he noticed something far ahead & pulled up to see a wooden stand with a sign in front that said "Soul Searching." Blitzø got out of the car & approached the stand while noticing a man standing on top of it.

"Welcome, have you come for Soul Searching?" The man who was the owner said

"Soul Searching?" Blitzø said

"It's for people who want to find who they truly are, have you ever wondered who you truly are inside you?" The owner said

"Uh, yeah, kinda." Blitzø said

"Then your answer could be right here, why don't you give it a try?" The owner said

"Hm, okay fine." Blitzø said

"Wonderful, may I know your name?" The man said

"Blitzø." Blitzø said

"Alright Blitzø, step on the stand & we'll begin." The man said

When Blitzø set foot on the stand, the man lit some candles around it, then he began to say some chants causing wind to pick up around Blitzø & the stand as the fire of the candles. But something went horribly wrong, Blitzø began to see all the bad memories regarding the circus fire, Fizzarolli losing his limbs, Barbie Wire hating him along with all the other bad memories, then voices started to say the negative things the others said which caused Blitzø to become afraid. The wind began to to blow intensely around as the fire began to glow in a golden color

"Oh no, this one might be bigger than I thought." The owner said in concern.

"Sir, I think I change my mind about this." Blitzø said fearfully as the memories were replaying along with the voice

"It's gonna be alright, Blitzø, just stay calm!" The owner said

"NO! I don't wanna do this anymore! Make it stop!" Blitzø cried

Back at the Anti-Blitzø Party, Verosika was watching everyone having a good time, she overheard Blitzø's conversation with Stolas & she was a bit surprised that he left after talking to him. She was also a bit upset that he didn't even try to apologize to her. Yet, looking at everyone at this party, she began to have thoughts of this was really helping others or just being petty

*Boom*

Everyone gasped in alert as they rushed outside to see smoke from afar

"What the hell was that?" One of the party guests said

"Everyone, stay here while Tex, the gang & I go check it out." Verosika said

Verosika & her gang went to a burnt area

"What the hell happened here?" Coco said as Vortex sniffed the air

"I don't know, but it smells like Blitzø was here, but his scent seems…different." Vortex said

"What did he do to this place?" Milky said

"Guys, I see someone over there." Kat said as they saw the Soul-searching owner laying on the ground

"Sir, are you alright?" Verosika said

"Mm, yeah, I'm fine." the owner said before coughing before looking at them "Are you friends of Blitzø?"

"Um, you could say that, but was he here with you?" Verosika said

"He was, I was doing a Soul-searching to him, but everything went completely wrong, I think the explosion went along with him." the owner informed much to the others shock

"Tex, can he smell him out?" Verosika said as Vortex sniffed

"No, the scent is gone." Vortex said "Shit, Loona is not gonna like this."

"Hold on, maybe Blitzø isn't completely gone, if you manage to find him & if something went wrong, give me a call & I'll try my best to help." The owner said as he gave Verosika his card

"Okay, thank you." Verosika said

As the owner left, Verosika looked & noticed Blitzø's phone on the ground as it was unharmed, she picked it up & looked through it until her eyes widened in shock & surprise as she found the picture of her & Blitzø when they were still together. Seeing the picture made her have tears falling down her face.

"V, are you alright?" Vortex said in concern

"Yeah, I'm okay." Verosika said as she wiped her tears "Let's just go."

3 months had passed, Verosika informed Fizzarolli about Blitzø's disappearance which he filed a report about, but there was still no sign of Blitzø anywhere, not even his employees & daughter have seen them. Verosika, her Crew and Vortex were all heading back to their headquarters until Vortex sniffed the air

"Wait a minute." Vortex stopped

"What's up, Tex." Ace said

"It's that scent again from 3 months ago." Vortex said

"That means Blitzø is out somewhere, take us to him, Tex." Josh said

After a moment of following Vortex to the where the scent was.

"The scent seems to be leading to this hotel." Vortex said

"..." Verosika stared up at the hotel

"You okay, V, you seem quiet." Kiki said

"It's just…this was the hotel where Blitzø ditched me at…" Verosika said

"Hey guys, I found him, he's in this alleyway." Vortex called out

Verosika & her gang went to the alleyway & saw Blitzø as he was sleeping but they noticed he was…different

"Uh, Tex, are you sure that's him, he looks…smaller &...younger." Josh said

"Yeah, that's a fucking child." Coco said

"Hold on you guys, I think I heard him say something." Vortex said

"I'm sorry…" Blitzø said as he started crying in his sleep "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"Oh no no no no no." Verosika said in alert as she picked up the impling in her arms & soothed him "It's okay, it's okay, I got you, shh, shh, It's alright."

(You'll be in My Heart covered by Celtic Woman)(I don't own this song)

Verosika

Come stop your crying

It will be alright

Just take my hand Hold it tight

I will protect you

from all around you

I will be here

Don't you cry

For one so small,

you seem so strong

My arms will hold you,

keep you safe and warm

This bond between us

Can't be broken

I will be here

Don't you cry

Come stop your crying

It will be alright

Just take my hand Hold it tight

I will protect you

from all around you

I will be here

Don't you cry

Vortex & Verosika's gang smiled as they sang along

Verosika(With Gang)

'Cause you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

Verosika

From this day on

Now & forever more

Verosika(With Gang)

You'll be in my heart

Verosika

No matter what they say

You'll be here in my heart, always

Don't listen to them

'Cause what do they know

We need each other,

to have, to hold

They'll see in time

I know

Blitzø calmed down as he imagined his mom singing to him

Tilla

When destiny calls you

You must be strong

I may not be with you

But you've got to hold on

They'll see in time

I know

We'll show them together

Verosika & Tilla(With Gang)

'Cause you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on,

Now & forever more

Oh, you'll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You'll be in my heart, always

Tilla

Always

Verosika

Always

At the end of the song, Blitzø slept peacefully

"Good job, V." Vortex whispered with a smile

"What made you wanna do that even though you're his ex?" Kiki said

"I'm not sure, I guess I felt some kind of instinct I guess, but I don't know." Verosika said "But we better call that guy & inform him about this."

"Right." Vortex & the gang nodded

Parenthood

At Verosika's place, she & her gang were watching Blitzø as he was asleep until

"Mmm." Blitzø groaned

"Look, I think he's starting to wake up." Josh said as Blitzø woke up

"Where am I?" Blitzø looked around & noticed Verosika "Oh, it's you, um…what was your name again?"

"Oh, uh, Verosika." Verosika said surprisingly along with her gang "We found you in an alleyway & took you here."

"Oh, thank you very much, but you really didn't have to do that, you could have just left me alone if you wanted." Blitzø said apprehensively much to everyone's shock & concern

"No, Blitzø, we didn't wanna leave you there." Apple said worriedly

"It's fine, I would've understood if you did." Blitzø said as he got out of the bed "I'll go now."

"Hey, where are you going, Blitzø?" Josh said

"Nowhere." Blitzø said "I better go, I'm sorry for being a bother."

"No wait, don't go." Verosika said

"It's okay, I don't wanna cause any problems then I already did to you." Blitzø said

"...Do you remember me?" Verosika asked

"Yeah, I remember how I left you & that I stole your car & spent your money." Blitzø said shamefully much to everyone's surprise & shock

"Is there anything else you remember?" Kiki asked

"Well, I remember the circus fire I accidentally caused along with Fizzarolli & Barbie hating me, I also remember that I hurt a lot of people along with this tall bird who sang at a party dedicated to hating me because of what I did to them in the past." Blitzø said

"But don't you remember the good times & your friends." Verosika said in concern

"No, only bad times & I don't have any friends." Blitzø said

"What about your job?" Kiki said

"I don't have a job." Blitzø said confusingly

Verosika & the gang were shocked & worried that the impling doesn't have any good memories, only the bad memories where he made bad decisions. Not only that, it seems that he doesn't remember Moxxie, Millie, & Loona along with his company IMP, they also wondered what he meant by circus fire.

"I have to go, I'm sorry." Blitzø said as he went to the door

"Hey, Verosika, I–." Vortex entered the door

"AGH!" Blitzø shouted fearfully as he hid under the bed

"Hey, chill little man, it's just Vortex." Kat said

"I know that, he's the one who growled at me!" Blitzø said

"What? When did I do that?" Vortex said confusingly

"I think he's talking about the time you two met for the first time." Verosika said

"Oh, I see." Vortex said

"Blitzø, sweetie, it's okay, he's not gonna hurt you." Verosika assured

"Are you sure?" Blitzø said

"Positive." Verosika said "Tex, what did you came in here for?"

"Oh yeah, I called that Soul-searching guy, he's ready to talk to you."

"Okay." Verosika said "Stay here, Blitzø, we'll be back in a minute."

"Why are you guys calling me Blitzø, my name is Blitzo." Blitzo said

Verosika & her gang went outside to talk to the Soul-searching owner through the phone

"Hey, I was wondering when you were gonna call." The owner said "Is everything alright? Did you find Blitzø?"

"Yes, we did, but…I think that little soul-searching did something to him." Verosika said reluctantly

"What do you mean? Is he hurt." the owner said

"Oh no, he's not hurt, he just…changed." Verosika said

"Changed? In what way?" The owner said

"When we found him, needless to say…he's a kid again." Verosika said

"He did? You mean like age regression?" The owner said

"Yeah, that." Verosika said

"Well, that's never happened before." The owner said "Anything else?"

"He seems to have kept his memories when he was an adult, but there are only bad ones, & he has no memory of his job & his friends." Verosika said

"I see…" the owner said

"Are you sure that's never happened?" Verosika asked

"No, not before, that first time it did something like that." The owner said "But I assume that due to him having a massive negative energy from the bad things that happened to him, it must have caused him to turn back into his childhood age & wiped away any good memory that he had."

"Oh shit, that's not good." Verosika panicked internally

"Sir, is there any way to fix this?" Vortex said

"I'm sorry, but I don't think there is a way to fix this, like I implied, this is the first time something like that's ever happened." The owner said "My apologies, but there's really nothing I can do."

"Okay, thank you anyway." Verosika said as she hung up

"This is not good." Coco said

"So, what do we do about the kid, V?" Ace said

"... I'll keep him." Verosika said much to everyone's surprise & shock

"Uh, V, did we just hear you right?" Milky said

"I'm serious, he may be my ex…but I just don't have the heart to throw him out as a child." Verosika said "I would give him to Barbie, but no doubt she still has hatred for him, & who knows what she'll do to him."

"Shit, that's right, that might not be a good idea." Josh said "What about giving to Fizzarolli or an orphanage."

"Josh, the orphanages here in Hell are TERRIBLE, I can't place him under their care, plus they don't even do background checks on the adoptive parents & they don't even care about the child's safety." Verosika said "As for Fizzaroll, Blitzø still has memories of him being hated by Fizz, so I don't think it's a good idea."

"What about his co-workers & Loona." Vortex said

"I don't think we should tell them anything about it, Blitzø doesn't remember anything about them." Verosika said "Besides, I doubt they can even afford to raise a child."

"Good point." Vortex said "You sure you wanna do that, V?"

"I'm sure, it may be difficult, but the least I can do is learn to roll with it." Verosika said

"Don't worry, V, we'll help you out?" Apple said

"Really? You know you guys don't have to?" Verosika said

"But we want to, it's what friends are for." Kiki said

"Mm-hm, besides we can't let you hog all that cuteness to yourself." Milky said

"Hm, I guess." Verosika chuckled

Rescuing Blitzo was a cinch, then came the really scary part…Parenthood.

(First Night)

"V? V? V!" Blitzo said

"Huh?" Verosika woke up drowsily

"I gotta go?" Blitzo said

"Go where?" Verosika said confusingly

"You know, go bad." Blitzo said

"Oh, that kind of go, come on." Verosika said as she went through the hallway with Blitzo "If you got a go, you gotta go."

(Second Day)

Blitzo was up in a tree as Verosika & Vortex were on the ground

"Young Impling, get down here!" Verosika scolded

"Woohoo! Alright!" Blitzo cheered as he looked down "Hey, you guys look like ants down there."

"I'm counting to 3!" Verosika warned

"Yahoo!" Blitzo cheered as he jumped to a branch which broke causing him to fall down

"Uh Oh." Vortex said

"1…2…" Verosika said before she was tackled to the ground by Vortex as Blitzo landed safely on Vortex's back "...3…"

(Second night)

"V?" Blitzo said

"Huh? Again?" Verosika said

"No, I'm thirsty." Blitzo said

"You know this means you'll be up again about 2 hours from now." Verosika sighed as she went down the hall with Blitzo said

(Third Day)

Blitzø was relaxing while floating down a river

"Hang on, Blitzo, I'll save you!" Verosika said as she swam towards

"Yahoo!' Blitzo cheered as he fell down a waterfall

"I gotcha!" Ace said as he caught Blitzo

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Verosika screamed as she fell down the waterfall

"She does know she has wings, right?" Blitzo said

(Third Night)

"V?" Blitzø said

"We're gonna get old getting across this hallway." Verosika said

(Fourth Day)

Blitzo was foot juggling Verosika into the air as Apple & Coco were watching

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Verosika exclaimed

"Okay, what exactly am I watching?" Coco said

"It's a circus act, Verosika did mention that Blitzo was a circus imp." Apple said

"Blitzo, put me down!" Verosika demanded

"Okay, alley-oop!" Blitzo said as he tossed Verosika up high

*CRASH*

"Oops." Blitzo said sheepishly as Verosika was stuck to the ceiling

"A little help here!?" Verosika called out

(Fourth Night)

"V?" Blitzo said

"Ugh! What is it that you have against the concept of a beauty sleep!" Verosika said frustratingly with red eyes

"Actually I…I had a bad dream." Blitzo said

"...Oh…you wanna sleep here with me?" Verosika said

"Please?" Blitzo said

"Alright then, come here." Verosika said as Blitzo climbed under the covers with her

"Goodnight V." Blitzo said as he cuddled next to her

"Goodnight Blitzo." Verosika smiled warmly before thinking "Maybe this isn't so bad after all."

Octavia the Babysitter

Verosika was sitting on a bench at the streets of Imp City, she learned that she had a concert tomorrow on the other side of town which was far away & she'll be away until the day after tomorrow. She was thinking on who would babysit Blitzo while she was away, she would choose one of her gang but they had plans along with Vortex going with her since he's her bodyguard. She would drop him off at Beelzebub's, but she was also busy with work.

"Excuse me, are you Verosika Mayday?" a voice said

"Hm?" Verosika said as she looked "Oh, hey, you're Stolas's kid."

"You know about me?" Octavia said

"Yeah, I invited your dad to a party & he told me all about you." Verosika said "Did you get the autograph, I got him to give you

"I did, thank you very much." Octavia said as she sat next to her "You seem a bit troubled."

"Sorry, it's just that I'm having a hard time thinking of who can babysit my kid." Verosika said

"You have a kid?" Octavia said surprisingly

"Yes, I took him into my home a few days ago." Verosika said

"What's his name?" Octavia said

"Blitzo." Verosika said

"Blitzo? That's kind of an unusual name, don't you think?" Octavia said

"I know." Verosika said

"You know, I can babysit your kid if you want?" Octavia offered

"Really?" Verosika said

"Of course, I mean it would be a brand new experience for me, I always wanted to know what it's like to care for a child." Octavia said

"Thank you so much, Octavia." Verosika said

"No problem, when do I start?" Octavia said

"Tomorrow, be sure to pack up what you need for the night." Verosika said

"Okay." Octavia said

The next day, Octavia arrived at Verosika's place

"Hello Verosika, I hope I'm not late." Octavia said

"No, you're just on time." Verosika said "Blitzo, your babysitter is here."

"Coming." Blitzo said as he came downstairs

"Oh my gosh, is this him? He looks so adorable." Octavia gushed

"Blitzo, this is Octavia, she'll be taking care of you while I'm away." Verosika said

"Hello." Blitzo said

"Okay, I'll be back home tomorrow, be sure to behave, alright Blitzo?" Verosika said

"Okay." Blitzo said

"Good boy." Verosika said as she hugged him

"Have fun at your concert, Verosika." Octavia said

"Same to you." Verosika said "Bye Blitzo, I love you."

"..." Blitzo froze in silence

"Honey, I said I love you." Verosika said

"..." Blitzo still froze in silence

"Blitzo?" Verosika said in concern

"V, you ready yet?" Vortex called out

"Oh yeah, I'm ready." Verosika said "Octavia, if anything happens to him, be sure to call my manager, here's her number."

"Got it." Octavia said

"See you both later." Verosika said as she left

"Hey, are you alright?" Octavia asked

"Yeah, I'm fine, I guess." Blitzo said

"Don't worry, little one, she'll be back before you know it." Octavia assured "How about you & I have a seat & get to know each other."

"Okay." Blitzo said as he & Octavia's sat on the sofa

"You have the first question." Octavia said

"Are you one of those Goetia demons?" Blitzø asked

"Yes, I am, I'm actually one of the heirs." Octavia said

"Cool." Blitzo said

"You know, you kind of remind me of this Imp I'm familiar with." Octavia said

"Oh yeah, who was he?" Blitzo said

"I don't know, I never caught his name." Octavia said "I never saw him with my Dad for the past couple of months which was probably a good thing."

"Why?" Blitzo said

"My Dad kept hanging around with him more than me." Octavia said "Unfortunately, that didn't stop my parents from divorcing."

"Why are they getting a divorce?" Blitzo said

"Well, their marriage started falling apart due to that imp that Dad was always hanging around with." Octavia said

"Do you think he was purposely taking your Dad from you?" Blitzo said

"Possibly." Octavia said

"How do you know that?" Blitzo asked

"Well, Dad always flirts with him, but thinking back on it, the imp never reciprocates." Octavia said "I guess the imp only wants something from Dad but I don't know what it is."

"I kinda wished my mom divorced my Dad." Blitzo said

"Now, why would you want that?" Octavia said surprisingly

"Because my Dad is a piece of crap, he never cared or loved me at all, he even claimed my ex-best friend to be the son he always wanted, all because he had more talent than me." Blitzo ranted

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Octavia said sympathetically

"At least I won't have to deal with him now that I'm living with Verosika, you're actually lucky that you have a Dad who cares about you, that is if he does." Blitzo said

"He does, but what about your Mum? Were you close to her?" Octavia asked

"Mm-hm." Blitzo nodded sadly

"You're lucky, I'm not even close with my mother anymore." Octavia said

"You know, I was actually bought by a Goetia." Blitzo said

"What!? Who in the world bought you!?" Octavia said in alert

"I sort of forgot his name." Blitzo said

"Can you describe them?" Octavia said

"Well, he was big & tall, had brown feathers, oh & he also had a white mask on his face with red markings on it." Blitzo said "You know him?"

"I don't think so, although your description of him is quite familiar." Octavia said "Why did he buy you for?"

"His son wanted a playmate for his birthday, I forgot his name." Blitzo said "You kinda look like him though."

"Hmm." Octavia said awkwardly "Let's talk about something else, do you have any friends."

"No, I have nobody." Blitzo said

"Then how about we go to the park, we can get you some new friends there." Octavia said

"Yay!" Blitzo said

"That was very odd, could it be that…" Octavia thought before shaking it off "Nah, that would be preposterous, Blitzo was possibly making that up, kids do say crazy things after all."

When Blitzo & Octavia got to the park, Blitzo decided to go to play on the sandbox until

"Hello there." a voice said

Blitzo looked up & saw two sinner children

"Oh, hi, you guys wanna play?" Blitzo said

"Mm-hm." The sinner girl nodded

"Cool, I'm Blitzo." Blitzo said

"I'm Ralfina & this is my brother Marshall." Ralfina said

"Howdy there." Marshall smiled

"Nice to meet you two." Blitzo said

"First time meeting sinners like us?" Marshall asked

"Yeah, when did you two die exactly?" Blitzo said

"Several months ago." Ralfina said

"Oh, I never knew kids could go here to Hell, what did you guys do?" Blitzo said

"Oh, just something you wouldn't wanna know." Ralfina smiled sweetly

"You go to school?" Marshall said

"No, not yet." Blitzo said

"You should attend our school, Sin Elementary, you'll love it there." Marshall said

"Okay, cool." Blitzo smiled

After an hour of playing with Ralfina & Marshall.

"Hey kids, time for us to head home." Ralphie called out

"Coming Papa." Ralfina said

"Well, we better get going, it was nice meeting you, Blitzo." Marshall said

"You too, I hope I see you guys again at school." Blitzo said

"We hope so too, bye bye." Ralfina said as she & her brother left

"I see you made some new friends & it looks like you hit it off." Octavia said

"Yeah, I like them." Blitzo said

"Are you ready to head back?" Octavia said

"Mm-hm, thanks for taking me here, Octavia." Blitzo said

"You're welcome, little one." Octavia smiled

When Blitzo & Octavia arrived at home

"Octavia." A voice called

Octavia & Blitzo turned to see Stella

"Oh no." Octavia slightly panicked

"Octavia, what within hell are you doing?" Stella said

"Hey Mum, it's nothing really?" Octavia said nervously

"Who is this?" Stella said

"Um, Mother, this is Blitzo…I'm babysitting him for the day." Octavia said hesitantly

"You're what!? Now what plebeian hired you to babysit their child?" Stella said incredulously

"It's not a big deal, Verosika needed someone to look after him until she came back tomorrow." Octavia said

"Octavia, you should know that you're Goetia Royalty, you should neither be babysitting like a poor person nor be interacting with a low rank demon." Stella scolded "Come along, dear, we're going home."

"What?! But what about Blitzo?" Octavia said shockingly

"He's not our problem." Stella said carelessly

"But I can't leave him all by himself, he's unable to take care of himself." Octavia protested as he picked up Blitzo "Look at him, are you really gonna have me leave a defenseless child who is my responsibility for the day, you know I'm gonna have to learn to take care of children when I have my own someday. Please, just let me do this, just this once."

"...Ugh, fine." Stella said irritatingly "But I'm gonna supervise to see how you handle it."

"Thanks Mum." Octavia said in relief

When they were inside, Octavia was cooking dinner while Blitzo & Stella were at the table

"Hey Blitzo, what was your Mum like?" Octavia said

"She was big & beeeeeeeeautiful!" Blitzo said enthusiastically "But she can also be scary."

"Oh, just like my Mum." Octavia said

"Hm." Stella smiled slightly

"What about Verosika? Do you think she's beautiful?" Octavia said

"Uh-huh, always." Blitzo said

"Wait, what did you mean by was?" Stella realized

"Blitzo's mum died." Octavia said "Isn't that right, Blitzo?"

"Yeah, she died in a fire." Blitzo said

"Oh…that's a shame." Stella said

"Hey, Ms. Goetia, do you have any powers?" Blitzo said

"I'm a Goetia, of course I got powers." Stella said

"Show him what you can do, Mum." Octavia said

"Alright, alright." Stella said as summoned a violet flame in her hand which formed into the shape of a bird which flew around her & Blitzo

"Whoa." Blitzo said in awe "That's amazing."

"It's pretty unique how you & Uncle Andre's powers are basically opposites, he's Ice & your Fire." Octavia said

"Are you gonna start dating again since you're divorced, Ms. Goetia?" Blitzo said

"Blitzo." Octavia scolded lightly

"Oh, sorry." Blitzo apologized sheepishly

"No no, it's alright, Via." Stella said "I hardly ever want to start dating since I've been through enough of that failed marriage of mine."

"Mum, if it's not too much trouble, maybe you & Dad can try relationship counseling?" Octavia said

"No Via, I'm afraid your father & I are not compatible." Stella said before thinking "We never were."

"Have you guys met the King & Queen along with the Sins?" Blitzo said

"Oh yeah, we definitely know them." Stella said

"Do you have a chance to meet them? I always wanted to meet Lucifer, Lilith, Satan, Mammon, & Athan." Blitzo said excitedly

"Athan?" Stella said confusingly

"He means Leviathan's other half, the purple dragon head." Octavia said

"Oh." Stella said

"Blitzo, I'm sure you'll be able to meet them someday, I might even introduce you to Charlie." Octavia said

"Who's Charlie?" Blitzo said

"She's the Princess of Hell, Lucifer & Lilith's daughter." Octavia said

"I didn't know they had a kid." Blitzo said

"They do, you would love her, she babysat me when I was your age." Octavia said

A little later, Stella was reading a book when Blitzo approached

"Whatcha doing?" Blitzo said

"Reading." Stella said simply

Blitzo said nothing as he climbed up to sit on Stella's lap before looking at the book to read it. Stella rolled her eyes as she decided to roll with it. Later, Octavia came to the living room to see Blitzo asleep on Stella's lap as she was still reading, Octavia smiled as she pulled it her phone & took a picture

"I see you two are getting along." Octavia said softly "We should take him to bed."

"I can't." Stella whispered "I'm afraid I might wake him up, a little help?"

"Okay." Octavia giggled

The next day, Blitzo, Octavia, & Stella were watching TV until they heard a knock on the door. Octavia opened it to reveal Verosika

"V!" Blitzo said as he ran up & hugged Verosika

"Hey baby, did you have fun?" Verosika smiled

"Yeah, I made new friends at the park." Blitzo said

"That's great." Verosika said as she noticed Stella "Oh Via, I didn't know your mother was here."

"Yeah, she kinda found out, but luckily she was cool with it." Octavia said

"Oh, good, I hope he didn't give you any trouble." Verosika said

"Not at all, he was perfectly fine, but we must be going." Stella said simply

"See you later, Little One." Octavia said as he pat Blitzo's head

"Bye Via, bye Ms. Goetia." Blitzo said

"Farewell impling." Stella said "Verosika, you should consider enrolling him in school, after all it is the law."

"Don't worry, I'm working on it." Verosika said

As Stella & Octavia were walking home

"So, what'd you think?" Octavia asked

"You did rather well, I'll admit I was impressed." Stella said "But why the hell did he look like that imp who was seeing your father."

"I don't know, I thought the same too, although some of these imps do look the same." Octavia said

"Well, regardless he's…a nice child." Stella admitted

"So?" Octavia said knowingly

"Oh alright, you can babysit him again." Stella gave in

"Yes!" Octavia said joyfully

"...Via, how about you & I have a day out together, just the two of us?" Stella said

"You mean it?" Octavia said

"Of course, I can take you to any place you wanna go, does that sound nice, darling?" Stella said

"That would be awesome." Octavia smiled

School

Vortex along with the gang were talking Verosika in getting Blitzo enrolled in school

"V, you can't keep Blitzo here forever, he needs to get an education." Kiki said

"But I don't like it, what if the teachers are mean to him, what if the other kids bully him?" Verosika argued

"He's got those two friends he met at the park to look after him, I'm they got his back & they would let you know if something happened." Josh said

"Also, if you don't send him to school, you could risk getting him taken away by social services." Coco said "Is that what you want?"

"No, It's just…I'm just worried about him." Verosika said

"We understand that, everyone feels that way about their child, but you're gonna have to do this for his sake." Vortex said "If I sense that something's happened to him when I pick him up, I'll let you know."

"...Okay." Verosika sighed

That night, Blitzo was in bad having thoughts about his first day of school tomorrow

"Okay, tomorrow's my first day of school, but I'm so nervous. What if the other kids don't like me? What if I fail? What if I'm not a good student?" Blitzo thought "I really hope things go well while I'm there."

The next morning, Verosika was cooking while Blitzo came looking a bit tired

"Morning, Blitzo." Verosika said

"Good morning, V." Blitzo yawned

"Are you okay, did you sleep at all?" Verosika said

"Oh yeah, I managed to get some sleep, I was just a bit nervous about school." Blitzo said

"That's alright, I can call up your school & tell them to cancel your enrollment." Verosika said hopefully

"No, no, it's fine, I'll be alright there." Blitzo said

"Oh…okay…" Verosika said sadly before saying "No! Stay here with me!"

A little later, they arrived at Sin Elementary where Ralfina & Marshall were waiting for them.

"Howdy, Blitzo!" Marshall said

"Hey guys, I hope I'm not late." Blitzo said

"Not at all, you got here a bit early." Ralfina said

"Good luck, Blitzo, stay out of trouble & be sure to do your best." Verosika said

"Okay, V, bye-bye." Blitzo said as he walked to the schoolhouse with his friends

"I love you." Verosika said

Blitzo froze as he stopped in his tracks with a stunned look which Marshall & Ralfina

"Uh, Blitzo? You alright?" Ralfina said in concern as she waved her hand in front of his face

"Blitzo, earth to Blitzo." Marshall said as he snapped his fingers

"What? Oh yeah, I'm fine, let's just go." Blitzo said

"Blitzo, I love you." Verosika called out

Blitzo looked back at Verosika with a hesitant look before entering the schoolhouse with his friends. Verosika was hurt that he didn't say I love you back & wondered why he had that reaction since it was the second time. She went to her car & got into the passenger seat.

"I'm proud of you, V, you handled that very well." Vortex said

"...I LOST MY BABY!" Verosika bawled with waterfall tears

"Oh shit." Vortex facepalmed

Meanwhile Mrs. Mayberry entered the classroom

"Good morning, class, I hope you all did your homework." Mayberry said

Marshall

& Blitzo's new here today

As the students kept singing along Mayberry froze as she heard the name Blitzo

"Blitzo, wait a minute, that couldn't be." Mayberry thought before saying "Hold on, everyone stop singing, which one of you is Blitzo."

"I'm right here." Blitzo raised his hand

"Oh, where are my manners, this is our new student Blitzo, & he's an imp & the very first Hellborn of Sin Elementary." Mayberry said

"Hello." Blitzo said sheepishly

"Hi Blitzo." the student greeted

"Great, now that we've gotten acquainted, let's start our first lesson." Mayberry said joyfully

While they were doing the lesson, Blitzo was starting to doze off a couple of times before shaking himself which Marshall noticed

"Hey, Blitzo, you alright?" Marshall whispered

"I'm fine, I barely got some sleep last night because I was nervous about this day." Blitzo said

"Hold on, I got an idea." Marshall said "Ms. Mayberry, May Blitzo & I step out for a moment."

"Alright, but be quick about it." Mayberry said

"Okay." Marshall said

Blitzø & Marshall went outside to the side of the schoolhouse

"Sorry Marshall, I was nervous coming here, I don't want Ms. Mayberry to think I'm that kind of student." Blitzo said

"Don't worry, partner, I got a remedy for your problem." Marshall said as he attached a hose to a faucet

"What are you doing with that?" Blitzo said

"It's a trick my dad taught me, it'll help with drowsiness, now hold still." Marshall said as he sprayed Blitzo's face with the hose

"BRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBR!" Blitzo exclaimed as Marshall stopped spraying "Cold, cold, it's cold!"

"Now you're not sleepy anymore, plus it will boost up your immune system, let's get back to class." Marshall said as he & Blitzo went back to class

"Blitzo, why are you wet?" Mayberry said

"Don't ask." Blitzo deadpanned

Blitzo managed to stay up for the rest of the lessons until recess, he was sitting by himself on the side of the sandbox until

"Excuse us, Blitzo?" A voice said

Blitzo looked up & saw 4 sinner kids in front of him. The first sinner kid was a black avian cat demon white fur on his face, torso, & feet, a small spray of white plume-like feathers on the end of his tail, he had eyes brown sclera with different colored irises which was blue on the left & green on the right. The second sinner demon was a black snake/komodo dragon demon with, a short cobra hood with four red eye patterns, red eyes with black narrow pupils, legs & a komodo dragon tail. The third sinner kid was a white furry spider demon with red eyes, a scorpion tail, her wavy blonde hair & she was a bit taller than the other sinner kids. The final sinner kid was a green snake demon with amber eyes with black narrow pupils, & a long black snake hood with amber eye patterns.

"Hello there, how's it going?" The hybrid greeted with a smile

"Going fine, I guess, who are you?" Blitzo said

"I'm Cobra, & this is my little sister." The snake/Komodo dragon hybrid demon named Cobra said

"I'm Hissfit." The snake demon named Hissfit said

"My name's Pixie." The spider demon named Pixie said

"& I'm Dusk." The avian cat demon named Dusk said

"Nice to meet you all, May I help you with something?" Blitzo said

"Not at all, you're lucky to be the first hellborn to be in Sin Elementary, we haven't gotten one of your kind for the past several months." Cobra said

"Wow, aren't I special." Blitzo commented

"So, what does your family do?" Pixie asked

"Oh, we used to perform in a circus." Blitzo said

"Ooh, that sounds like it was a lot of fun." Hissfit beamed

"Yeah, it was, but I'm not very talented in those things, after there was an accident, I was taken in by Verosika who is my caretaker." Blitzo said "She's a popstar."

"Oh my gosh, I love pop music!" Pixie beamed excitedly

"Hey, you know, you guys resemble a couple of sinners I'm familiar with, do you guys know Sir Pentious, Angel Dust, & Husk." Blitzo said

"Yeah, Sir Pentious is me & Hissfit's ancestor." Hissfit said

"Mm-hm, same with Angel." Pixie said

"Husk is my grandpa." Dusk said

"Whoa, really? That's awesome, I saw Angel Dust & Sir Pentious on TV during the turf war, they along with Cherri Bomb were so cool." Blitzo said surprisingly "I also saw Husk do some magic tricks as well, he's a real inspiration to me."

"Really? What do you wanna be when you grow up?" Dusk asked

"How about you guys go first, what do you wanna be?" Blitzo said

"I'm hoping to be an Overlord someday like Grandpa Pentious wanted to be." Cobra said

"& I wanna be an inventor just like Papa Pentious." Hissfit said

"I always wanted to be a singer & a supermodel." Pixie said

"I'm wanting to help my grandpa at the Hazbin Hotel where he's working & get a job there." Dusk said

"Well, I'll tell you what I'm gonna be when I grow up, I'm gonna run my own circus & I'm gonna be the most famous imp ever & I'll be able to do what I want to do all day." Blitzo said "I'm gonna make so much money & buy myself a big building, with a big office."

"Wow, I never heard of a circus with an office before." Hissfit said in awe

"Yeah, & it's gonna be big, & if you guys apply, I'll hire you." Blitzo said

"That sounds neat, I hope we make good circus performers." Dusk smiled

"I'm sure you guys will." Blitzo encouraged

"Mind if we take part in the circus biz?" Marshall said as he & Ralfina approached them

"Of course." Blitzo said

Mayberry had been watching the little group while smiling at how they're getting along, but still she wondered about Blitzo

"Blitzo is a sweet little one, I'm so glad he's making good friends, but still I wondered why he looks like that guy I hired to kill Martha, could he be related to him in some sort of way?" Martha thought

At the end of school, when all the parents came to pick up their kids, Mayberry saw Blitzo sitting alone at a bench

"Blitzo?" Mayberry said

"Huh? Oh, hi Ms. Mayberry." Blitzo said

"Did you enjoy your first day here, sweetheart?" Mayberry said

"Yeah, I like it here, I was very nervous about it & I didn't get much sleep." Blitzo said

"That's alright, I didn't get much sleep either on the first day I worked here." Mayberry said

"You didn't?" Blitzo said

"No, I was very nervous like you, but I managed to stay up on a cup of coffee." Mayberry said

"Why does the first day of School have to seem so scary?" Blitzo said

"I know it can be scary at first & your afraid of failing along with the other students not liking you, but all you have to do is do the best you can & be yourself, & if you ever need any help with something while you're here, you can always come to me because that's my job as your teacher to help you." Mayberry said

"Okay, thank you, Ms. Mayberry." Blitzo said

"You're welcome, Blitzo." Mayberry smiled

Several minutes later, Vortex arrived at the school to see Mayberry resting her eyes while sitting on the bench as Blitzo was leaning on her while napping. Vortex smiled as he pulled out his phone & took a picture before picking up Blitzo into his arm.

"Excuse, Miss?" Vortex said softly

"Hm?" Mayberry opened her eyes

"Sorry to wake you, but did everything go well with Blitzo?" Vortex asked

"Everything went just fine." Mayberry said as she stood up "I hope you both get home safely."

"We will, see you tomorrow." Vortex said as he left

When they got to Verosika's place, Blitzo woke up when they arrived, & when they entered

"BLITZO!" Verosika exclaimed as he hugged Blitzo tightly "Oh, baby, I missed you so much!"

"V, what's with you, I was only gone for a few hours." Blitzo said

"She's been like that ever since we dropped you off at school." Vortex said as Verosika let Blitzo go

"How was your first day at school, sweetie." Milky said "Did you have fun?"

"Please say no, please say no." Verosika thought hopefully

"I had a lot of fun, I made some new friends & the teacher was very nice." Blitzo said

"Damn it!" Verosika thought frustratingly

"Yeah, I even got a picture of her with him." Vortex said as he showed the picture

"Aww, that's so sweet." Apple said adoringly

"That bitch! She thinks she can steal my baby as her own!?" Verosika glared jealously

"Go do your homework, little guy." Josh said

"Okay." Blitzo said

"See, that wasn't so bad, we told you he was gonna be fine." Kiki said

"Hmph, still don't like it." Verosika scoffed

"Come on, V, you're being overprotective, you need to give the school a little more trust." Ace said

"I know, it's just that he's starting to grow up so fast." Verosika said tearfully

"We know, V, that's why we have to cherish every moment as he grows up." Vortex smiled

"You're right." Verosika smiled back

Playdates

A few weeks since Blitzo started attending Elementary School, Verosika was dropping Blitzo off at school until Ms. Mayberry confronted her

"Excuse me, are you Blitzo's caretaker?" Mayberry said

"I am, & you're his teacher?" Verosika asked

"Yes, I'm Ms. Mayberry, & the parents of a few of my other students wanted me to give you these letters." Mayberry said as she gave him 4 letters

"Letters from other parents? Why?" Verosika said confusingly

"I don't really know, they just told me to give them to you, I have to get to work, have a good day." Mayberry said as she went into the schoolhouse

"What would the parents want with me?" Verosika said

When Verosika got home

"Hey girl, how's it going?" Kiki said

"The teacher gave me these letters from other parents." Verosika said

"Did you read them yet?" Josh said

"No, but I'm confused, what happened that made the parents write letters to me." Verosika said "Don't tell me Blitzo has been causing trouble at school."

"That can't be the case, if he was, the school would've called us." Vortex said

"You're right, but I hope it's not some kind of complaint about Blitzo being the first & only Hellborn of Sin Elementary." Verosika said worriedly "Oh god, I hope it's not some kind of racist threat."

"Well, let us see them." Apple said

After Verosika opened the letters & read them

"Well?" Kat said

"They're invitations for playdates with their children." Verosika said

"Oh, I guess their kids liked Blitzo so much, they want to invite him over to play." Apple said "Isn't that sweet."

"I never expected his social skills to improve like this." Verosika said "I suppose it won't hurt to meet the parents."

Later, Verosika, Vortex, & Blitzo were at Marshall & Ralfina's house

"Hey guys, welcome to our home." Marshall said as he let them in

"Mama, Papa, they're here." Ralfina called out

"Coming." Martha said as she & her husband came "Hello, are you Blitzo's parents?"

"Oh no, I'm his caretaker Verosika Mayday, & this is my bodyguard Vortex." Verosika said

"Sup." Vortex said

"Well howdy, I'm Martha & this is Ralphie, my husband." Martha said

"Pleased to meet ya, now where's the little youngin?" Ralphie said

"Oh, here's right behind me, he's a little shy." Verosika said "Go on & show yourself, Blitzo."

When Blitzo slowly came out from behind Verosika, Martha & Ralphie became shocked when they saw him, they even rubbed their eyes to make sure they weren't seeing things

"Hi there, I'm Blitzo." Blitzo said bashfully

"..." Martha & Ralphie said

"Is there something wrong?" Verosika said in concern

"Well, he's…" Ralphie said

"Adorable." Martha finished with a smile

"Yeah, yeah, he's a cute little critter, & healthy too." Ralphie smiled nervously

"Thank you." Blitzø blushed

"Come on, Blitzo, let's play." Marshall said as he left with Blitzo & Ralfina

"Now, while the kids are playing, how about we get to know each other." Martha said

"Have a seat." Ralphie said as he & his wife sat on the couch while Verosika sat on a chair "So, you're a pop star, huh?"

"I am, have you heard my songs?" Verosika said

"No offense, but we're not really into pop music, country is more our style." Martha said

"Oh okay, none taken." Verosika said "What do you two do?"

"I'm a stay-at-home Mom, but I hunt down other people & send them to Cannibal Town." Martha said

"As for me, I work at a hunting & taxidermy shop." Ralphie said

"Oh, should I be afraid." Verosika said uneasily as Vortex growled

"Don't worry darling, we ain't gonna harm you, besides you are the guardian of our kids' friend." Martha chuckled

"Okay, that's a relief." Verosika said

"How long have you had Blitzo?" Ralphie said

"For almost a month." Verosika said

"You know, when we saw Blitzo, we looked exactly like this imp we used to know, we kinda forgot his name." Martha said

"You mean Blitzø?" Verosika said surprisingly

"Yeah, is Blitzo by any chance related to him?" Martha asked

"Well…funny you should ask because that is him." Verosika said awkwardly

"Oh, you gotta be fucking kidding me." Martha said irritatingly

"Damn it, I knew it was him the moment I saw him." Ralphie said angrily

"You two know Blitzø?" Verosika said

"Know him? Martha happens to be his former target when he was working for that company of his." Ralphie said

"You mean he killed you?" Verosika said shockingly

"Not exactly, his little gremlin shot me dead as I was about to kill him & his other gremlin." Martha said

"Yep, & that critter of his called the cops which had me & the kids killed." Ralphie said

"V, I think we should leave." Vortex whispered

"Relax, Tex." Verosika whispered back "Martha, Ralphie, I deeply apologize for that."

"Just tell us what the hell is he up to & why is he a fucking brat?" Martha demanded

"He isn't up to anything, it was unexpected, Blitzø was at this Soul-searching thing which went completely wrong & made him disappear without a trace. A couple of months later, my crew & I found him as a kid, & he doesn't remember anything about his company & employees along with you & the other targets he killed." Verosika said

"...He doesn't remember us?" Martha said shockingly a long with her husband

"No, he only remembers me, Vortex, Fizzarolli, Barbie Wire, Stolas, & Asmodeus." Verosika said sadly "But he only remembers the bad memories of us including the bad ones in the past & the bad ones when he was an adult."

"...How do you know Blitzø?" Ralphie said

"...He's my ex-boyfriend." Verosika said

"& you took him in? Why?" Ralphie said surprisingly along with his wife

"I couldn't just leave him there or take him to an orphanage, would you have done the same thing?" Verosika said

Martha & Ralphie sat in silence as they knew they had a point, even though they resented him, they wouldn't have had the heart to leave him. Yet, it kinda felt sad that he doesn't remember them.

"...Has he given you any trouble?" Martha asked

"No, he's a very sweet boy, & innocent too." Verosika said

"Hm, wonder how an innocent little Imp somehow became an assassin who doesn't give a rat's ass about anything or how anyone feels." Ralphie said

"I'm wondering the same thing." Verosika said

Just then, Blitzø came out to the hall

"But there is one little problem." Verosika said

"Hm?" Blitzø said as he began eavesdropping

"What's the matter?" Martha asked

"It's just when I tell him that I love him, he just freezes with a look of fear." Verosika said "I don't know why he reacts like that, I just say that because I care but it's like it gives him a reason to be afraid of me."

"Hmm, you said that the little one only remembers the bad memories right?" Ralphie said

"Yes." Verosika nodded

"I believe that whenever you say 'I love you' it could be connected to a really bad memory of his past." Ralphie said

"W-what?" Verosika said shockingly

"He might be right, the bad memory connected to those words could've given Blitzo PTSD or something like that." Martha said

"Oh god, why didn't I realize that, I'm such a terrible person." Verosika said frantically

"Now, settle down, there's a simple one word solution to that problem: Therapy." Martha said "You take him to see a therapist & he'll be better, simple as that."

"...Okay, I'll think about it." Verosika said

Blitzo stood for a second before going to the bathroom in thought. Verosika felt her phone go off & looked at it

"Martha, Ralphie, could you watch over Blitzo for a little bit, there's something I've got to pick up." Verosika said

"What? Don't leave him with us, what are we supposed to do with him?" Martha protested

"It's okay, I won't be long, it's just a tiny errand, but please don't hurt him, I know what he did was fucked up, but he just child, please." Verosika said

"...Alright, fine." Martha sighed

"Better make it quick." Ralphie said

"Thank you, come on, Tex." Verosika said as she & Vortex left

"I'll go start preparing dinner, you go relax, honey." Ralphie said as he went to the kitchen

"Okay, let's see what's on." Martha said as she turned on the TV

A couple minutes later, Blitzo entered the living room & saw Martha before sitting next to her

"Hi." Blitzo said

"Uhh…Hi." Martha said awkwardly

"I like your earrings, they look so cool." Blitzo said

"Oh…thank you." Martha said

"Hey, you have a smudge under your eye, I'll get it." Blitzo said as he licked his thumb & reached out to rub it off

"Hey, don't just–" Martha said as Blitzo rubbed her cheek before she grabbed his arm & glared harshly. "Don't do that, it's supposed to be there, you little–!"

"..." Blitzo froze startlingly

"Oh…" Martha softened

"Everything alright back there?" Ralphie called out

"Y-Yeah, everything's…fine." Martha said as she let go of Blitzo's arm

"Excuse me." Blitzo said as he got up from the couch

"No wait." Martha said as Blitzo stopped "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled like that, the mark is just a part of my sinner design."

"Okay…" Blitzo said

"You see, my eye got shot out of my head when I was alive." Martha said

"I'm sorry to hear that." Blitzo said "How did your family die?"

"They were killed by de…terrorists." Martha said

"You need a hug." Blitzo said as he hugged her leg "Are you feeling any better?"

"Hm, I am, thank you." Martha smiled

"You know I have this charm around my neck that's similar to your earrings." Blitzo said as he showed off his charm "See?"

"Oh, it's beautiful." Martha said

"I know, it belonged to my mom." Blitzo said

"Well, I bet she would think that it would suit you." Martha said

"Thanks." Blitzo said as he went to the kitchen & tugged on Ralphie's pant leg "Excuse me, sir?"

"What do you want, son?" Ralphie said

"Your house is soooo outdoorsy, do you guys do any hunting or fishing?" Blitzo said

"Mm-hm." Ralphie nodded

"Can you teach me someday?" Blitzo said

"Oh, uh, yeah, of course, just ask Verosika first." Ralphie said "Now, go back to playing with the kids."

"Okay, Bye-bye " Blitzo said as she left

"Hm." Martha chuckled lowly before thinking "Guess Verosika was right about him being sweet & innocent."

Verosika came back just in time for dinner & the kids had a great time from the playdate they had.

The next day, it was Cobra & Hissfit's turn to have a playdate with Blitzo. Verosika rang the doorbell & the door opened to reveal a green komodo dragon sinner with amber eyes wearing a black long sleeve shirt with a white lab coat over it, brown pants, & glasses.

"Oh, you must be Cobs & Hissy's little friend." The sinner said

"Hello, are you their Dad?" Blitzø said

"Yes, I'm Dr. Varano, good to meet you." Varano said "I've been hearing good things about you from my son & daughter."

"Thank you." Blitzø said respectfully

"& you must be his parental guardians." Varano said

"No, I'm the parental guardian, Vortex is just my bodyguard." Verosika said

"I see, come in." Varano ushered them into the house "Dear, the boy has arrived."

Coming into the room was a snake sinner that looked like a genderbent version of Sir Pentious as she was wearing a yellow shirt with a gray denim jacket over it, & a black fedora

"Welcome to our humble abode, I'm Dr. Basilica." Basilica said

"Verosika Mayday, this is my bodyguard Vortex, & this is Blitzo." Verosika introduced

"Oh my stars, he's gorgeous!" Basilica said excitedly as she picked up Blitzo with her tail "Bright eyes, clean teeth, sturdy horns, he looks to be in perfect good health."

"Thank you, ma'am." Blitzo said

After Blitzo went to play with Cobra & Hissfit, Verosika & Vortex sat down with the parents to talk

"You two are doctors?" Verosika said

"Well, I'm more of a scientist, my wife is a pediatrician." Varano said

"Really?" Verosika said interestingly

"Have you always been a Pop Star, Verosika?" Basilica said

"Not always, I started with modeling when I was younger." Verosika said

"Hm, good money on that." Varano commented

"Hey, Blitzo told me that Sir Pentious is your ancestor?" Verosika said

"Mm-hm, he comes here to visit from time to time, he loves the children very much." Basilica said

"Gotta admit, that's cool being close with your ancestors." Vortex said "I heard that guy has some beef with Alastor, any reason for that?"

"It's not Alastor he has beef with, the reason he's trying to kill him is so that he could join the Vs." Basilica said

"Are you talking about Valentino, Vox, & Velvette?" Verosika said

"Yes, we've been trying to dissuade him from doing that since those 3 give off a bad aura." Varano said

"I don't blame you." Verosika said

"You seem to be new at parenting, have you just recently adopted Blitzo?" Varano said

"Well, I wouldn't say adopted, more like taking him in & keeping him." Verosika said sheepishly

"So you're saying you didn't officially adopt him?" Varano said

"Not yet at least." Vortex said "We found him in an alleyway of a hotel, Verosika wanted to keep him, Blitzo's been comfortable living under her roof."

"Do you know what happened to his parents?" Basilica said

"No, but we're gonna find out once we get a therapist for him." Verosika said "Do you happen to know any good therapists?"

"Of course, Dusk's father happens to be a therapist himself, he'll be able to help your little one." Basilica smiled

"Thank you." Verosika said gratefully "Luckily, we're going to Dusk's house tomorrow for the next playdate."

"Verosika, would it be alright if I asked you for a little favor?" Basilica said

"Sure, what is it?" Verosika said

"Well, I've been interested in the medical system here in Hell, so I've studied the medical knowledge of Hellborns." Basilica said "I was wondering if Blitzo could be my first Hellborn patient."

"Oh, well, I was thinking about getting Blitzo a doctor's appointment for a checkup, but I guess that's okay." Verosika said

"Yes! Thank you so much!" Basilica said happily

The next day was Dusk's turn to have a playdate with Blitzo. Verosika knocked on the door which opened to reveal a female black cat sinner with green eyes, her black hair styled in a ponytail as she was wearing a purple long sleeve shirt & blue jeans

"Well, hello there, are you Blitzø?" the sinner said

"Yes ma'am." Blitzø said

"Nice to meet you, I'm Twyla, Dusk's mother." Twyla said as she ushered them in

"Are you the therapist Basilica told us about?" Vortex asked

"No, that would be my husband." Twyla said "Honey, they're here."

An avian cat sinner that resembled Husk except his fur was dark gray, blue irises in his eyes, & black wings

"Blitzo, so glad you can make it, I'm Neven, Dusk's father." Neven smiled

"Hi, Mr. Neven." Blitzo said

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Verosika, I'm sure you have already heard of me." Verosika said

"Believe me, I have Ms. Mayday." Neven said neutrally

"Okay…anyway, this is my bodyguard Vortex." Verosika said

"Sup." Vortex said

"Hm." Neven said simply

"Why is he giving us that neutral look?" Verosika thought

"Blitzo, our son is in his room, why don't you go play with him while we get to know Verosika." Neven said

"Okay." Blitzo said as he left

"Why don't you both have a seat?" Neven said as they sat down at the dining room table

"Okay, so if Neven's a Therapist, what do you do for work, Twyla?" Verosika asked

"I'm Novelist, an Artist, & a stay-at-home Mom." Twyla said

"Three jobs in one household, I hope doesn't put too much stress on you." Vortex said

"Not really, I love doing what I do." Twyla said

"So do I with my job." Verosika said "I learned from Blitzø that Husk is your father, Neven?"

"Yes, he is." Neven said.

"Have you met Alastor & his little maid, Niffty?" Verosika asked

"I have, Niffty is actually Dusk's babysitter, she adores him very much." Neven said "As for Alastor, me & Dad keep my son away from him."

"Is this because of Alastor owning your dad's soul?" Vortex said

"That's correct, we're afraid of Alastor targeting our son to be his next servant, no way here in Hell we're gonna allow that to happen." Twyla said

"That's understandable." Verosika said

"But a while ago, Alastor came to visit us." Twyla said

"What exactly did he want?" Verosika asked

"He said he wants to 'keep a low profile' so that nobody will know that Neven & Dusk are related to Husk." Twyla said "If people found out, we'll be targeted by Vox since he's Alastor's enemy rival."

"Don't worry, your secret's safe with us." Vortex said

"Thank you, I'm gonna go start preparing dinner." Twyla said as she went to the kitchen

"Neven, there's something I need to tell you about Blitzo, he's–." Verosika said

"Your ex-boyfriend in child form?" Neven said with a raised eyebrow much to Verosika & Vortex shock

"How did you–?" Verosika said

"That's not important at the moment, Basilica told me that you needed a therapist for Blitzø?" Neven said

"Yes, you see, he went to this Soul-searching thing which got him regressed into a child, & he only has bad memories, so we were wondering if you could help him." Verosika said

"I'll help him." Neven said

"You will?" Verosika said

"Yes, but he's not the only one who needs help, & I'm looking at her right now." Neven said blankly

"Me? What are you talking about?" Verosika said confusingly

"Perhaps this will refresh your memory." Neven said as tossed an Anti-Blitzo Party invitation in front of her.

"How the hell did you–?" Verosika said shockingly along with Vortex

"I found it in the streets of Imp City, after looking at this crap, I am plain disgusted & disappointed." Neven narrowed his eyes

"W-wait, I-I can explain." Verosika said nervously

"Then explain to me why you're throwing this annual Anti-Blitzo party." Neven said

"I was…you know…helping the others cope with their breakups with him." Verosika said

"By throwing an annual Party that's dedicated to hating him, that's not helping others cope, that's just making their mentality worse & putting a target on Blitzø's back." Neven scolded

"Neven, Sir, listen she–." Vortex said

"I wasn't talking to you." Neven glared making Vortex flinch "Aren't you supposed to be her bodyguard? Why didn't you dissuade her from doing this? Aren't you smart enough to know that this is wrong?"

"..." Vortex sat in silence before he looked down & his ears dropped in shame

"Tell me, Ms. Mayday, are you a professional therapist?" Neven said

"No sir…" Verosika said

"Do you know how to cope with a breakup?" Neven said

"No sir…" Verosika said

"Do you think you're helping others with their mentality?" Neven said

"...No sir…" Verosika said

"From what I've heard, you had been to rehab, it didn't seem like it helped on your part." Neven said

"That's because I…I dropped out." Verosika said reluctantly

"...You dropped out of rehab." Neven facepalmed disappointingly

"I'm sorry." Verosika said shamefully

"It's not me you should be sorry, you should be sorry for yourself." Neven said "& Blitzo if he knows about your little petty party."

"You're right, you're right." Verosika said "Can you help me too?"

"Why? You didn't seem to have a problem deciding not to get help from rehab." Neven raised an eyebrow

"I know, but this time I want to get help, I was stupid in dropping out of rehab & it was a mistake. Please, I wanna learn how to be better at coping & what's good for my mental health, not just for me, but for Blitzo." Verosika pleaded "Please, give me a chance, I'll do anything."

"...Alright." Neven said "But I'm only helping you so Blitzo could have a good role model & parental figure. You only get one chance at this, don't waste it."

"Thank you." Verosika said gratefully

Lastly, it was Pixie's turn for a playdate with Blitzø, Verosika knocked on the door which opened to reveal a female Zebra Spider sinner. She had blue eyes, long wavy black hair, white fur, two small black stripes on each cheek along with black stripes down her arms, she was wearing a black short sleeve shirt, blue jeans, & black heels

"Breeze?" Verosika said surprisingly

"Verosika, what a pleasant surprise!" Breeze said happily

"You're Pixie's Mom?" Verosika said "You never told me, you had a kid."

"You never asked." Breeze said

"V, you know her?" Vortex said

"Breeze & I did some modeling together & used to hang out every so often." Verosika said

"Who's this, is he your boyfriend?" Breeze said

"No, no, he's my Hellhound." Verosika said as Breeze noticed Blitzo

"Oh my gosh, V, you're a mom! He is so precious!" Breeze said as she picked Blitzo up & kissed all over his face "Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!"

"Oh shucks." Blitzo said bashfully

"Easy there, Breeze, he's a little shy." Verosika said

"Sugar, is the boy here yet." A voice said

A blonde scorpion sinner with red eyes wearing a light blue button up shirt, brown pants, brown boots, & a brown western hat

"Hey Sling." Verosika said

"V, been a while, hasn't it?" Sling said with the top of his hat

"My love, look, this is our little girl's friend Blitzo, isn't he adorable." Breeze gushed as she hugged him tightly

"Well, he's a sharp little fella, but you might wanna let him go, he looks like he can't breathe." Sling said

"Oh, Mi dispiace, I'm so sorry, Amore." Breeze said as she put him down "Come in, come in."

"Make yourselves at home." Sling said as they entered the house "Figlia, your friend's here."

"I'm in the room, Blitzo." Pixie responded

"Coming." Blitzo said as he left

"We have a lot of catching up to do, V." Breeze said

"You know, that boy of yours looks like your ex." Sling said

"I know, there's an explanation for that." Verosika said

A moment later, Verosika explained everything to Breeze & Sling which surprised them

"So lemme get this straight, your ex participated in some magical Soul-searching whatchamacallit & got himself regressed into a child with only his bad memories?" Sling said

"Yes." Verosika said

"Dio mio, this is certainly something." Breeze said

"Tell me about it." Vortex said

"Why'd ya take him in, I thought you hated him." Sling said

"No, I did hate Blitzø, I just couldn't bring myself to hate a child." Verosika said "It's not the kind of person I am, you know."

"That was very mature of you to do, Verosika, but why didn't you give him to his sister?" Breeze said

"If I did that, it wouldn't end very well for Blitzo, she still hates him for whatever he did in the past. If I placed him under her care, I'm scared that she might beat him out of revenge." Verosika said

"What!?" Breeze & Sling exclaimed angrily as their eyes slit

"That's why I didn't give Blitzo to Barbie, I was protecting him from her due to her anger & hatred." Verosika said

"It's a good thing you did, I would tear her apart if she did something to that sweet baby." Breeze said

"Mm-hm, we don't take kindly to child abuse." Sling said "What about his daughter & employees."

"Like I said before, Blitzo doesn't remember them, I don't think they have the responsibility to care for a child." Verosika said "I don't think they'll be able to afford it."

"I heard that things aren't going well at his company without him." Breeze said "Without the manager of the company, it's not gonna last very long."

"I'm thinking about getting Blitzo some therapy so I could find out what he went through, if I'm also getting help, I need to put a stop to these Anti-Blitzo Parties I keep throwing." Verosika said

"Oh good, no offense V, but these parties are making you kinda toxic." Breeze said

"Toxic? Me?" Verosika said surprisingly

"You throw these annual parties over something stupid as a breakup, then you get other people who you have no business with involved." Sling said "Didn't you ever stop to think there's something wrong with that?"

"...No, I…I never did…" Verosika said lowly

"You're doing the right thing, V, these parties aren't good for your health & well-being. You've been holding onto your hatred for too long, it's time to wise up & learn to move on." Breeze said

Verosika sat in silence as she knew they were both right. The night after the playdate, Verosika was in her room about to get some sleep.

"They're right, this therapy is what's best for me & Blitzo, who knows what he was going through as an adult, & I never thought he would have PTSD after hearing those words. I really hope I get the answers I need to find out the reason why he broke my heart." Verosika thought

Meanwhile, Blitzø was lying in bed wondering if he tell Verosika why he reacts like that when he hears those words

"Should I tell her? I want to, but it really hurts while thinking about it, I don't want her to think less of me again. I guess I knew that day would come, I hope Mr. Neven will be able to help me with my mental problems." Blitzø thought

Chapter Text

The Reason

Verosika, Vortex, & Blitzo were in the car driving their way to Neven's clinic

"Blitzo, sweetie, are you alright?" Verosika asked

"Mm-mm." Blitzo shook his head

"Aw, baby, it's okay, Neven is just gonna talk to us to help make us feel better." Verosika said

"I don't…I don't like talking about it." Blitzo said

"I know, it can be hard to talk about something you don't want to, but you can't keep it a secret forever, it's not good for you." Verosika said

"You'll just hate me even more." Blitzo said

"Blitzo, I promise you, I'm not gonna hate you more than before, I never have since I took you in." Verosika said

"…" Blitzo looked away in silence

"Tell you what, I'll go in there first, then you'll go in after me, is that fine with you?" Verosika said

"Can I go in there alone?" Blitzo said

"Oh…yeah, you can, if that's what you want." Verosika said "But Blitzo, when you talk to Neven, I want you to be honest with him, it's not good to tell lies. If you need me, I'll be outside the room."

"Okay…" Blitzo said

When they arrived at the clinic, they waited in the waiting room for a few minutes until they saw Octavia & Stella walk out of the Neven's office

"Stella, Via." Verosika said

"Hi Via." Blitzo said happily as he hugged her

"Hello there, Blitzo, good to see you again." Octavia smiled happily

"Verosika? What are you & the little one doing here?" Stella said

"I should be asking you that? What are you & your daughter doing at a mental health clinic?" Verosika said

"Ms. Mayday, you're just in time, are you two ready?" Neven said

"Oh, actually, do you mind if I go first, Blitzo wants me to go first since he's a little nervous." Verosika said

"I guess that's alright." Neven said

"Via, Stella, can you watch over Blitzo while me & Tex are in there." Verosika said

"I suppose we can stay a little longer." Stella said

"Thank you." Verosika said

Verosika & Vortex went into Neven's office

"Okay, Ms. Mayday, how do you describe your feelings when you think of Blitzø when he was an adult?" Neven asked

"...Hate…Anger…Resentment…Hurt…Sadness" Verosika said hesitantly

"Hm, at least you admit it." Neven said "& what do you think of Blitzø as a child?"

"Well, I feel…sympathy & joy &...insecure." Verosika said

"Insecure of what?" Neven raised his eyebrow

"Well, when I tell Blitzo I love him, he just freezes in fear, & I get insecure like I'm doing something wrong while raising him." Verosika said

"Doesn't seem like you're doing anything wrong to me." Neven said "Any other thoughts."

"Yeah, his friend's said it might be due to…PTSD." Verosika said

"I believe that would be the case." Neven said "Was it the same when you dated him when he was an adult?"

"Yeah…that's what caused him to bail on me, I was embarrassed when I was vulnerable the first time, & he made me feel like a bad person for being angry at him." Verosika said tearfully "Now that I think about it…maybe I am a bad person, because I just jumped to conclusions thinking he's a selfish shitfuck & not understanding him, yet I made these pointless Anti-Blitzo Parties just to fuel everyone's hatred of him despite not knowing what he went through."

"You're not a bad person, you just made bad mistakes, everyone does that." Neven said "It's a good thing you admit that you jumped to conclusions along with not understanding him."

"Is there anything you wanna ask me about the party?" Verosika asked

"There is, I've been meaning to ask you how exactly do you know about Blitzø's other exes when you invited them?" Neven said "Have you been stalking him?"

"What!? No, I don't stalk people!" Verosika exclaimed defensively

"Then how did you know where they were?" Neven narrowed his eyes causing Verosika to flinch

"I…sort of have an agent who keeps tabs with me on Blitzø's love life." Verosika said sheepishly

"The fuck?" Vortex said confusingly

"Oh god…" Neven sighed as he facepalmed "Did you know about this, Vortex."

"Not until now, if you ask me this turned out to be a fucking obsession." Vortex said

"That's exactly the point, you're obsessed with hating Blitzø, Ms. Mayday." Neven said

"You're right, you're right." Verosika said shamefully

"Hey Doc, when you said when Verosika was putting a target on Blitzø's back, what'd you mean by that?" Vortex said

"Isn't it obvious, because of the hatred that Verosika fueled with these parties there's a possibility that the exes will hunt down Blitzø & kill him." Neven said

"Oh, Blitzø wouldn't let that happen, he was an assassin after all." Vortex said

"& Being an assassin, Blitzø won't hesitate to fight back & kill them in self-defense. But it's not only Blitzø they will target, they'll target everyone who is close to him." Neven said as Verosika & Vortex's eyes widened in realization

"Oh…shit." Vortex said softly

"Has your agent ever informed you any further details about Blitzø's breakups." Neven said

"No, I only tell my agent to tell me when Blitzø breaks things off with his exes along with their locations so I know where to send the invitations." Verosika said

"Then how do you know Blitzø hurt them? Did you even ask them what happened?" Neven said

"I…no." Verosika said embarrassingly

"Then you clearly don't know anything about their breakups, for example some of them might have hurt him first while some others are just one night stands." Neven said

"Damn, he do got a point." Vortex said

"Ms. Mayday, did you hate Blitzø so much that you wanted him dead?" Neven said

"No, I…" Verosika said as she sighed "Okay…I admit the homicide & suicide baiting stuff was too extreme, but I swear I never wanted him dead."

"If he was really dead, how would you feel?" Neven said

"I wouldn't take it, I don't think I would've been able to live with the guilt because of my hatred for him & not being able to get over him. I know that it would be my fault for not talking to him & not understanding him better." Verosika said

"I see…" Neven said as he looked at Vortex "Vortex, do you have anything against Blitzø?"

"No, I have nothing against him." Vortex said

"Do you attend these parties even though you don't have anything against him?" Neven said

"I'm only there for my job, nothing's else." Vortex said

"What do you think of him?" Neven said

"I think he's cool in a way, he's a wildcard but fun." Vortex said "But I can't help but feel…concerned."

"How so?" Neven said

"Well…at my girlfriend Bee's party, he was a bit out of control, I mean he got wasted off his ass & caused problems on purpose." Vortex said

"How much did he drink?" Neven asked

"Like Four Tons of Beelzejuice, I don't know what happened, but he said something about us not having any idea what kind of night he had & my girlfriend sensed that he was giving a not okay vibe." Vortex said much to Verosika's surprise

"Judging by your reaction, you seem to know something about it, Ms. Mayday." Neven assumed

"V, what happened, did you do something?" Vortex asked

"Well…Fizz & I along with Asmodeus kind of humiliated him at Ozzie's." Verosika said hesitantly

"Why'd you do that for?" Vortex asked

"We were calling him out for commenting on his employees' relationship even though his love life's a disaster, he was trying to stand up for them due to their relationship's lack of lust." Verosika said

"You humiliated him just because he was trying to stand up for his employees? Are you saying standing up for others is a bad thing?" Neven glared disappointedly

"I never said that, I was being petty & pathetic, I'm sorry." Verosika said

"It's not me you should apologize to, you know." Neven sighed "Getting on the topic of Blitzo, does he have any biological family or friends?"

"Yes, there's his sister, I could've placed him under her care, but I couldn't due to her hatred of him for whatever reason, I was afraid she might abuse him out of revenge." Verosika said

"Hm, smart move, I'll give you that." Neven said

"Then there's Fizzarolli, his childhood best friend, they made up a while ago, but Blitzo only has bad memories of him since he got regressed." Verosika said "He doesn't remember making amends with him, so if I placed him under his & Ozzie's care, Blitzo might be too afraid of them."

"Now that you mentioned it, it could possibly give Blitzo a panic attack." Neven said

"Then there's Moxxie & Millie, but I don't think they can afford to raise a child since they've only been married for one year." Verosika said

"Good point, sometimes it takes only a couple of years for someone to decide to have children after getting married." Neven said

"Last but not least, there's his adoptive daughter, Loona." Vortex said "But…we don't think she'd be a good role model let alone a parent figure."

"& That is?" Neven asked

"Well, she doesn't respect him that much, she has a bit of an anger issue. One time when we were in the living world, she said these words 'I didn't need you then, asshole, I don't now." Vortex said much to Verosika & Neven's shock "I get the feeling if we placed Blitzo under her care, she may angrily snap at him & place him under an orphanage once she gets frustrated with him."

"I can't believe she said that, now I know I can't place him under her care." Verosika said

"Are there any people he's opened up to since you took him in?" Neven said

"Not that I know of, I mean there is his babysitter Octavia." Verosika said

"Shall we send her back in?" Neven said

"Oh, yeah, sure." Verosika said

"Good." Neven said as he went to the door "Octavia, could you come back here for a second."

"I'll be right there." Octavia said as she entered the office

"Octavia, I have this one question, has Blitzo ever opened up to you about his family?" Neven said

"He has, a little bit." Octavia said "When I talked about my parents divorcing, he said he wished his Mum divorced his dad."

"He said what?" Verosika said shockingly along with Vortex

"Why did he want his parents divorced?" Vortex said confusingly

"Blitzo said his dad is a piece of crap & that he never cared or loved him at all, he even claimed his ex-best friend to be the son he always wanted, all because he had more talent than him." Octavia explained much to Verosika & Vortex shock

"What about his Mom?" Neven said

"He was close to his mum, that's all I know." Octavia said

"Okay, that'll be all, Octavia." Neven said as Octavia left "Ms. Mayday, I believe it's Blitzo's turn now, but curious question, why did you take him in even though he's your ex-boyfriend."

"It's just…I wanna show him that I'm not a bad person & I wanna make it up to him for all the mean stuff I said & did to him. Even though I resented him in the past, I still cared about him, he's been the light of my life ever since my crew & I brought him home." Verosika said

"...you really love him as mother should, don't you?" Neven said

"Yes, unconditionally." Verosika said

"I see…, that will be all, Verosika, you may send him in." Neven said

"Yes sir, thank you for your time with me, Neven." Verosika said

"Anytime." Neven said before thinking "Surprising, her mental health is improving, makes me wonder if raising Blitzo could be the reason for that."

When Verosika & Vortex walked out of the office

"Okay, honey, your turn." Verosika said "Do you think you can do this."

"I think so…" Blitzo said

"Hey, it's gonna be alright, if you need me I'll be right here outside the office." Verosika said

"Okay." Blitzo said

"Also, remember to be honest & tell the truth." Verosika said as she kissed his forehead

"Are you ready, Blitzo?" Neven said

"Yes sir, bye bye, V." Blitzo said as he went with Neven to his office

"So, Stella, about what asked you–." Verosika said

"Via & I decided to get some help due to the fact that we have never been close as mother & daughter." Stella said

"Oh…really?" Verosika said

"Yes, you see, Stolas & I were in an arranged marriage." Stella said

"An arranged marriage?" Verosika said

"I told Octavia the truth about me & Stolas, him & I were arranged to give birth to her, I hated Stolas due to the fact that I had to be stuck with him." Stella said

"Did you hate Via?" Verosika said

"I never did, Mayday, but I was envious of Stolas because of how close he was to Via." Stella said as she stroked Octavia's hair

"Stella, you know that's not exactly Stolas' fault for being arranged to you." Verosika said

"I'm aware, Neven told me that neither of us had a choice during our marriage, I mostly stayed with Stolas due to hierarchy, but I never felt…happy." Stella said

"I never thought you royals had it rough." Verosika said

"When I met your son, I began to reflect on some things, I realized I've been only thinking & caring of myself more than others." Stella said "So, I decided to take time to get to know my daughter & find out who she is."

"Hm, guess this therapy is working for both of us." Verosika smiled

About an hour later, Blitzo came out with Neven

"Hey baby." Verosika said happily as she hugged Blitzo "How'd it go? Was everything alright?"

"Yeah, but I don't think he's alright." Blitzo said apprehensively, looking at Neven

"Neven, dear, what's wrong?" Stella said confusingly

"I'm…fine." Neven said as his eye twitched

"Are you sure, you look like you're about to lose it." Vortex said

"It's okay, Blitzo has been giving every single detail of his past, & I mean EVERYTHING." Neven said

"Is it that bad?" Verosika said in concern

"Yes, it's bad." Neven said

"You sure Blitzo didn't give you trouble." Vortex said

"Hey, I didn't do anything to him, I did exactly what Verosika told me!" Blitzo said defensively

"It's alright, Blitzo was perfectly honest with me which is good because I got every detail of his mental problems." Neven said

"Okay then, so we'll see you later." Verosika said

"Yes, I'll be seeing you around." Neven said as he went back to his office while muttering "Who the hell puts a lit birthday cake inside a tent."

"What'd he say?" Vortex said confusingly

"Something about a birthday cake?" Octavia said

"V, can we go home?" Blitzo said

"Sure, but first we're gonna get you some Wackdonalds & Ice Cream!" Verosika said excitedly as she scooped up Blitzo in her arms

Later, Verosika picked up the rest of her crew & drove to WackDonalds

"Blitzø, I can't believe you did so good there." Kiki said happily

"Yeah, you were so brave." Apple praises

"I try, I'm not really that brave." Blitzo said bashfully

"Yes, you are, you're a brave little fighter." Milky said as she kissed his cheek

"Up top, little man." Josh said as he high fived Blitzo

"Pound it." Ace said as he fist bumped Blitzo

"Well, what have we here?" A voice said

They looked & saw one of the Overlords & Vs, Velvette

"Oh…hey Velvette." Verosika frowned

"Been a little while since I saw you, Ver-Ver." Velvette said "How've you been."

"I've been fine." Verosika said as Velvette noticed Blitzo

"& who is this little munchkin?" Velvette said "Is this your child?"

"Yes, his name's Blitzo." Verosika said hesitantly

"Oh, so you named him after your ex, he even looks like him too." Velvette said interestingly "Speaking of your ex, he's been missing for a couple of months by now, Fizzarolli is getting awfully antsy for him to be found even the King & his daughter had sent search parties to find him."

"Really?" Verosika said confusingly

"Yes, & get this, the Queen has shown up after 7 years of her absence." Velvette said

"Lilith Morningstar is back?" Verosika said surprisingly

"That's what I said, ain't it weird?" Velvette said as she picked up Blitzo "You know, I wouldn't mind taking this little bundle of cuteness home with me."

"Hey, back off, he's mine!" Verosika glared as she took Blitzo from Velvette & held him close "You don't even know the first thing about raising kids!"

"You don't seem like it either, it looks like you've been hiding him for a while & who knows how you're raising him." Velvette smirked tauntingly

"Why you–." Verosika said angrily

"Anyway, I'd love to stay & chat, but the boys are hungry & I've got to run along." Velvette said as she summoned her business card & gave it to Blitzo "Remember darling, if you ever want to to stay with me, you give Auntie Velvette a call."

"Okay." Blitzø said

"Ta-ta, darlings." Velvette said as she left

"Why that lousy stuck-up–." Verosika growled

"Easy, V, don't let her get to you, let's just enjoy our day with Blitzo." Coco said

"Yeah, & maybe after ice cream we can get Blitzo a couple of toys from the toy store." Kat said

"Oh yeah, that's a good idea, I should've thought of that before." Verosika lit up "Won't that be fun, sweetie?"

"Huh? Oh, okay, that's great." Blitzo said before thinking "That's odd, why would Fizzarolli care that I'm missing, last I checked he hates me."

That night, Verosika was tucking Blitzo in bed

"Did you have a great day today, Blitzo?" Verosika said

"Mm-hm." Blitzo nodded

"Good." Verosika said

"...Verosika…can I tell you the truth?" Blitzo asked

"Oh, of course you can." Verosika said "What is it you wanna tell me?"

"Do you promise not to hate me?" Blitzo said

"I promise." Verosika said

"The reason why I react like that is because…they were the last word my mom said…before she died." Blitzo said reluctantly

"Those were your mom's final words?" Verosika said surprisingly

"Yeah…" Blitzo looked away

"How did it happen?" Verosika asked

"...It was on Fizzarolli's birthday, I was gonna confess my feelings to him, but when I saw him being loved by everyone else including my dad, I felt left out." Blitzø said "Nobody loved me except my mom, they all preferred Fizzarolli over me because I was worthless & didn't have any circus talent, a useless waste of space."

"That is not true, Blitzo, you shouldn't let them get to you like that." Verosika said

"But it is, when I bailed out, I accidentally shoved someone who was carrying a lit birthday cake inside the circus tent which started the fire…" Blitzo said as he started shaking

"What happened next?" Verosika said in concern as she took his hand

"The next thing I knew, my home was on fire…Fizzarolli became crippled…I was going to get help but I saw the tent my mom was in & when…when I…I…" Blitzo said as started to panic breathing

"Hey hey hey, shhh, shhh, shhh, it's okay, I'm right here." Verosika said soothingly as she held him tightly "You don't have to keep telling me if you don't want to."

"No, it's fine, I tried to help my Mom, but it was too late…that was when she told me she loved me before I lost her in that fire." Blitzo said tearfully

"It all make sense now, he didn't break my heart to be an asshole...he only did it so he could protect me from dying the same way his mother did, same thing with his other exes who had been broken hearted by him…it's clear that he was trying to protect them…I'm such an idiot." Verosika thought

"After the fire, everyone thought I did it on purpose because I was jealous of Fizzarolli, even he & Barbie! I didn't want that to happen! I didn't mean for that to happen! I didn't want that! I swear it was just an accident!" Blitzo cried

"Baby, calm down, I don't think you did it on purpose." Verosika said

"You don't?" Blitzo sniffed

"No, you're not worthless or useless or a waste of space, you're special in your very own way. The reason why they thought that is because they don't know you, they only thought they knew you like that is because they're just stupid." Verosika said "I'm sorry for not understanding you in the past, I'm sorry for not knowing what you went through, I now know you never meant to hurt anyone including me."

"But V, I don't wanna lose you like Mama." Blitzo said

"Blitzo, you don't have to worry about losing me, I know you miss your mom but she'll always be in your heart." Verosika said "I'm also sorry for all the things I did to you, I don't wanna hurt you anymore, but please don't shut me out, let me in so I can help you & show you how much of a good person I am, okay?"

"...okay." Blitzo said

"Good boy." Verosika smiled as she hugged him

"I-I-I...I love you, mama." Blitzo said much to Verosika's surprise as her heart swelled with joy

"I love you too, my sweet sweet baby boy." Verosika smiled tearfully

After Verosika out Blitzo to bed, she came out of his room & saw Vortex & her crew as a few of them a had tears

"V…we heard everything." Kiki said

"I feel like an ass for not talking sense into Loona back then." Vortex said

"It wasn't fair for Blitzo to be treated in such a way." Apple said

"Yeah, I can't believe they just accused him of doing it on purpose like they acted like they know him, when they don't know shit about him?" Milky said

I outta tear them apart if I ever find those shitheads." Ace said bitterly

"So, what are you gonna do now, V, since you know the truth." Coco asked

"I'm gonna search up some good places for adoption papers." Verosika said much to everyone's surprise

"Wait, you mean?" Apple said

"Yes, Blitzo will be officially a part of our family." Verosika said as Vortex & her crew were excited that she's gonna make things official

Chapter Text

Mastermind

A couple of days later, Blitzo was getting ready for school with a smile on his face

"Ready to go, buddy." Vortex said

"Yeah." Blitzo said

"Bye honey, have a good day." Verosika said

"Bye Mama, Bye Aunt Kiki, Auntie Apple, Auntie Coco, Aunt Milky, Uncle Josh, Uncle Ace, Auncle Kat." Blitzo said

"Bye buddy/baby/sweetheart." Verosika's gang said

"Let's go, big bro." Blitzo said

"Heh, right behind you, little bro." Vortex chuckled as he & Blitzo left

"We really need to get used to those names." Verosika commented

Later on, Stella & Andrealphus were having tea

"You seem to be in a decent mood." Andrealphus said

"Yes, Via & I have been going to therapy, it helped us understand each other better." Stella said

"Oh, I see, have you heard from Stolas?" Andrealphus said

"No, but I do know that the moron finally learned that the Imp was just using him for his Grimoire." Stella said

"I'm sorry, use him for what?" Andrealphus said stunningly

"You know, that book he has, the imp was using it to gain access to the mortal realm." Stella said

"Wait, hold on, let me get this straight, Stolas was letting an imp use his Goetia-given grimoire, and you didn't tell me?" Andrealphus said

"Uhh, why's that so important?" Stella said confusingly

"Because, we have been trying to figure out a means to usurp your horny ex-husband's power." Andrealphus said angrily "& this whole time, you knew about the incredibly illegal thing he was doing and you didn't think it might be a good idea to LET ME KNOW?!"

"I'm sorry, I forgot what he was doing was illegal!" Stella exclaimed

"Ugh, never mind, Stella." Andrealphus said as he stood up & walked away

"Wait, where are you going?" Stella said

"I'm gonna report this, that imp is gonna be taken to court for the crime, that way we'll be able to usurp Stolas' powers." Andrealphus said

"No!" Stella said

"What?" Andrealphus said

"I'm sorry to say this, brother, but I'm calling the plan off, I don't want that anymore." Stella said

"What the hell do you mean you don't want that anymore!?" Andrealphus said incredulously "Weren't you the one who wanted him gone."

"I changed my mind, perhaps we should just let them alone." Stella said

"Let them alone!? For fuck's sakes, Stella, this therapy bullshit has brainwashed you!" Andrealphus said in outrage

"No, it's not, it's making me a better person to my daughter & other people!" Stella glared

"No matter, it's still illegal, besides that imp has been missing for about 3 months, so with this we can finally find him." Andrealphus said as he left

"Oh god, me & my big fucking mouth." Stella groaned as she facepalmed

Meanwhile, at IMP, Moxxie, Millie, & Loona were struggling with the company for the past few months. They had been worried sick about Blitzø during his disappearance, Millie had her family search all over while Loona had her friends Gigi & Russ do the same, yet they never found any trace of Blitzø.

"Moxxie, this can't go on forever." Millie said

"I really thought running this company would be easy, but this is turning out to be a fucking nightmare." Moxxie said

"Fuck, where's Blitzø when you need him, why did he suddenly just disappear on us like that." Loona said frustratingly

"I don't know, but we have to find him, he's the only one who knows how to run this company." Moxxie said

Suddenly they were suddenly in chains & shackles as two reapers appeared

"Moxxie, Millie, & Loona of IMP, you three are under arrest." One of the reaper said

At Sin Elementary, two Reapers arrived at the school

"Is this the place?" Reaper 2 said

"Yes, I sense him there, I'm surprised to hear that he wasn't in the company." Reaper 1 said

"Why would he be at a school, does he work here?" Reaper 2 said

"I don't know, probably in a PTA meeting or something." Reaper 1 said

When the Reapers entered the school & into the classroom gaining Mayberry & the students attention

"Oh, hello, may I help you?" Mayberry asked

"Yes, we're looking for an imp named Blitzo." Reaper 1 said

"That's me." A voice said

The Reapers looked & saw a child version of the imp they're looking for which shocked them

"You're Blitzo Buckzo?" Reaper 1 said as they approached

"Yes sir." Blitzo said innocently

"Do you know exactly why we're here?" Reaper 2 said

"No sir." Blitzo said honestly

"Umm…would it be okay if you come with us to the Pentagram Courthouse?" Reaper 1 said awkwardly

"Why? Am I in trouble?" Blitzo said

"Uhhhh…" Reaper 1 said hesitantly

"It's just a little conference that we need to involve you in." Reaper 2 said

"Oh, okay then." Blitzo said

"If you're taking Blitzo anywhere, you need to sign this release form." Mayberry said as handed out a form

"Oh, yes, release forms are important." Reaper 1 said as he signed Satan's name in the form

"Good, & here's his homework." Mayberry said as she gave one of the Reapers Blitzo's homework

"Put this in the kid's bag." Reaper 1 said as he gave the homework to his partner before picking up Blitzo in his arms

"Thank you for your cooperation." Reaper 2 said as he put the homework in the backpack

"Should I inform his guardian of this?" Mayberry asked

"That would be necessary." Reaper 2 nodded "Have a good afternoon."

Back at Verosika's place, she was looking up decent places to help with the adoption processed until her phone rang

"Hello?" Verosika picked up.

"Ms. Mayday, this is Ms. Mayberry, I just want to inform you that a couple of Reapers picked up Blitzo from school & are taking him to the Pentagram Courthouse." Mayberry said

"Okay, thank you for letting me know, Ms. Mayberry." Verosika said

"You're welcome." Ms. Mayberry said as she hung up

"...Wait…PENTAGRAM COURTHOUSE!?" Verosika shouted in alert

Back with Blitzo, he was brought into the courtroom where he saw all the Demon Royals & the Sins except Lucifer & Lilith. Just then Satan entered & took his seat

"We are here to sentence the criminal imp, Bl–." Satan said as he noticed Blitzo

"Hi." Blitzo waved

"Uhh, what the hell is this, why is there a child in my courtroom?" Satan said confusingly "Where's Blitzo?"

"I'm Blitzo." Blitzo said

"Wait, you are?" Satan said

"Yes sir." Blitzo said

Everyone was surprised & shocked that a child was brought to trial

"Sir? Is that really you?" Moxxie said

"Who are you?" Blitzo said with a head tilt much to Moxxie, Millie, & Loona's shock "Why'd you call me 'Sir'? You do realize I'm way younger than you."

"I…uhh…" Moxxie said speechlessly

"What the hell? Why the fuck is bossman a brat?" Striker thought confusingly

"What happened to him, he was a full-grown adult last time I saw him. Although, he is very cute, & he gives off a happy & fun-loving vibe." Beelzebub thought

"Blitzø, what happened to you?" Asmodeus asked

"It's Blitzo." Blitzo glared much Asmodeus surprise

"Ooh, looks like he doesn't like you, Oz." Mammon smirked

"He so cute, I wanna hug him." Levi said adoringly

"Can someone tell me why a kid is part of this trial." Athan said

"Is this some kind of fucking joke? I had a plan to usurp Stolas' powers & his boy toy is a FUCKING CHILD!?" Andrealphus thought angrily

"Que Carajo, Andrealphus, you're dragging a child to court?" Vassago said incredulously

Not only was everyone in the courthouse was seeing Blitzo in his child form, but it was being broadcasted live on television

(Rough N' Tumbleweed Ranch)

"Looks like Blitzø has been finally found." Joe said

"Yeah, but why is he a child?" Sallie May said confusingly

"Aw, ain't he adorable, so that's what he looks like as a youngin." Lin said adoringly

(Stella's Mansion)

Octavia was flipping channels on the TV while Stella was fidgeting nervously until the channel was interrupted which Octavia saw

"Mum, look, it's Blitzo, he's at the Pentagram Courthouse!" Octavia said in alert

"What!" Stella gasped shockingly

(Asmodeus' Tower)

Fizzarolli was laying on the couch in a depressed state wearing a robe watching TV, ever since Blitzø had gone missing he hadn't been feeling himself for the past couple months. Just then the channel got interrupted by the broadcast making Fizzarolli's eyes widened as he saw a face recognized.

"Blitzø!?" Fizzarolli said

(Morningstar Palace)

Lilith was sadly sitting on a couch photo album as she was looking at pictures of Blitzø. Lucifer came into the room finding his wife.

"Honey, are you okay?" Lucifer said

"I can't believe it's been a few months since he had gone missing, it's not like him to disappear like this, what if something happened to him." Lilith said sadly

"It's okay, Lilith, we'll be able to find him, Blitzø is a strong fighter who always gets through, he's always been for a long time since he was a little boy." Lucifer said

Suddenly the TV turned on making both look & see Blitzø in his child form. They're were in shock as they quickly recognized him while also shocked that he was a child instead of of an adult

(Hazbin Hotel)

Charlie was at the bar of her hotel drinking her sorrows away until Vaggie approached her

"Are you still thinking about Blitzø?" Vaggie said

"It's been like 3 months & he's still not found, he's never been gone like this before." Charlie said tearfully

"You know, Charlie, if you have a problem, you're not gonna find the solution at the bottom of a bottle." Husk said "I've been looking there a long time."

"Hey Guys, there's a kid by the name of Blitzo at the Pentagram Courthouse." Angel said

"Wait, did you just say Blitzo?" Charlie said surprisingly

"Yeah, you know my descendant Pixie has a friend in school named Blitzo." Angel said

"No, that's definitely him, I know because my descendant Basilica sent me a picture of him, her children Cobra & Hissfit are friends with him." Pentious said

"Blitzo? Wait a second, my grandson Dusk also has a friend named Blitzo." Husk said

"Vaggie." Charlie said

"It couldn't be." Vaggie said in disbelief

Charlie & Vaggie looked at the TV & gasped in shock as Charlie covered her mouth while tears formed in her eyes.

(Stolas' Mansion)

Stolas was trying to call Blitzø only for it go to voicemail

"Perhaps I was too hard on him." Stolas sighed

The broadcast turned on the TV making Stolas look. Stolas' eyes widened in shock as he instantly recognized the childhood face of his first ever friend in court.

(St. Ann's Pharmacy)

Barbie was working at her job at the pharmacy, when she heard that her twin brother has gone missing she was glad since he won't fuck up her life anymore by finding her & the last 3 months have been peaceful & she preferred to keep it that way

"Hey, Barb, isn't that your brother?" Her Co-worker asked

"What?" Barbie said a she looked at the TV & saw her brother as a kid which shocked her

(Murder Family Residence)

"Mama, Papa, we're home." Ralfina said

"Hey kids, how was school?" Martha asked

"It was good, Blitzo was taken by Reapers." Marshall said

"Oh, that's great, wait what!?" Martha gasped

"What do you mean he was taken by Reapers?" Ralphie said

The TV turned on as they saw Blitzo in court

(Pentagram Courthouse)

"Um…Blitzø, you are accused of stealing a Goetic Artifact, how do you plead?" Satan said gently

"Like this." Blitzo said as he made giant puppy eyes "Please."

"Awwww." Everyone except Andrealphus & the IMP trio said

"Hahahahaha." Satan chuckled "That's cute, but what I mean is, are you guilty or not guilty, in other words did you do it or not."

"Oh, in that case, I'm guilty." Blitzo said much to everyone's surprise

"What!?" The IMP trio exclaimed shockingly

"Are you sure?" Satan raised an eyebrow

"Yes sir, I actually stole a lot of things from the Goetia Palace while I was staying there." Blitzo said honestly "But that's because I was told to."

"By whom?" Satan said

"My dad, Cash Buckzo." Blitzo said

"I see…have you by any chance stolen a Grimoire which is a book that they use to access the mortal realm?" Satan said

"Well, I remember stealing vases, crystals, & treasure, but I don't remember stealing a book." Blitzo said

"& What about these three, do you know them?" Satan asked gesturing to the IMP trio

"No sir, I have never met them before." Blitzo said innocently much to the trio's shock

"Blitzø, what are you talking about, of course you know us!? Moxxie & Millie, we're your employees! & Loona's your daughter!" Millie cried

"Employees? Daughter?" Blitzo said confusingly "Ma'am, I'm 5, I'm too young to have a job let alone a child."

"You little SHI–." Loona snapped angrily

"Hey, do you have a problem?" Satan glared menacingly

"I…no sir…" Loona stepped back nervously

"You better watch yourself before I put a muzzle on ya?" Satan warned

"..." Loona gulped fearfully

"Now Blitzo, are you certain you don't know them?" Satan asked

"Yes sir, I don't know them, what do you call those things that keep people away from others?" Blitzo said

"Restraining Orders." Satan said

"Yeah, I'm gonna need those against them." Blitzo said uneasily much to the trio shock & hurt

"Satan, I've read through this little dude's aura & he seems to be honest about not knowing these three & not stealing the book." Beelzebub said

"What? If Blitzø was being honest, could that mean that…he doesn't remember who we are?" Moxxie thought shocking along with Millie & Loona

"Hm, very well, thank you for your honesty, Blitzo." Satan said

"You're welcome." Blitzo smiled cutely

"Do you mind staying a little longer?" Satan said

"No sir, not at all." Blitzo said

Speaking on behalf of my aggressively attractive sister, I must testify that this brutish imp was forcing himself on her husband, Stolas, who unlike–." Andrealphus said

"Forcing himself!? Andrealphus, how can he know how to do something like that! Are you implying that Stolas is a pedophile!?" Satan said in anger & disgust

"No, of course not, your honor, can't you see this vile–." Andrealphus said as he looked at Blitzo "Wait, what do you think you're doing?"

"Shhhh." The Death Reaper shushed as Blitzo was writing something with a pencil

"Don't you dare shush me, I demand to know!" Andrealphus said as he approached them "Wait, is this homework!?"

"I had nothing else to do." Blitzo shrugged

"Will you put that back in your backpack! Homework is for home, not for courthouses!" Andrealphus demanded

"Oh, I'm sorry." Blitzo apologized

"Andrealphus, leave him alone, you know that homework is important for a child's education!" Vassago scolded

"Oh, shut the hell up, Vassago, it's annoying that this imp is using this get up for a lighter sentence!" Andrealphus said "Even though he committed such hardened acts to gain the upper hand."

"Andre, you know you're not making any sense right now, if he wants to do his homework, let him do his homework." Athan said before smiling at Blitzo "Go ahead little buddy."

"Thank you, Ms. Athan." Blitzo smiled back before continuing his homework

"Also where's Stolas, shouldn't he speak for this himself?" Vassago said

"He hasn't been informed of this trial." Andrealphus said "Stella & I didn't want to put him through the trauma of facing his aggressor."

"Wait, did you just say Stella? Is she Octavia's mom?" Blitzo said

"Yes, how'd you know about Via?" Andrealphus said

"She's actually my babysitter." Blitzo much to everyone's shock & surprise

"…She's your what?" Andrealphus said as his eye twitched

"My babysitter, she takes care of me while mama is working late, Ms. Goetia has helped Via a few times." Blitzo said as Andrealphus clenched his fist

"What rubbish are you spouting out?" Andrealphus said

"Disculpe, Blitzo, but last I checked Stella hates imps like yourself." Vassago said

"That's before she met me, you know Stella & I go to the same therapy clinic." Blitzo said

"Therapy clinic? You mean she's going to therapy." Belphegor said

"Yes ma'am, with Via too." Blitzo said

"Enough." Andrealphus said "It appears you're already familiar with my sister & niece, but do you know my brother-in-law Stolas."

"Stolas? I don't know, but the name is kind of familiar." Blitzo said

"Oh? Then perhaps this picture refreshes your memory." Andrealphus said as he showed a picture of Stolas on his phone

"Oh…yeah, I remember him…" Blitzo said apprehensively

"Aha! Then I suppose you know the hitman whom you had hired to kill Stolas." Andrealphus smirked

"Remember me, Blitzy?" Striker smiled sinisterly

"...No, not really." Blitzo shrugged much to Striker's confusion

"Come on, Blitzy, we've met before, it was at the Harvest Moon Festival." Striker chuckled "You know, your old boy Striker."

"Yeah, still doesn't ring a bell." Blitzo said causing Striker to frown on annoyance

"You have got to be joking." Andrealphus facepalmed

"Andrealphus, this is pointless & a waste of time." Satan said with boredom

"Satan, can't you see what he's doing, he's manipulating everyone into believing he's an innocent child!" Andrealphus said

"He admitted to stealing treasures from a Goetia." Satan said "I'm dismissing the case & after lunch, we're gonna summon Stolas about his questionable behavior towards a minor."

"No! If you won't see the truth then I will show you the truth!" Andrealphus snapped angrily

Andrealphus put a hand on Blitzo's head before waving at the air making a magic screen showing Blitzo's memories

"Behold! The Proof of Blitzo's crimes!" Andrealphus announced

Blitzo saw the memories of him killing people in shock & horror, what shocked him even more was that Martha was one of the people his company killed. He couldn't watch anymore as he tried to run away before Andrealphus grabbed him

"Where do you think you're going!" Andrealphus said

"Let me go, I don't wanna watch this." Blitzo pleaded

"Oh, you don't, don't you?" Andrealphus smirked

Just then, chains of ice wrapped around Blitzo's arms & legs

"That's too bad." Andrealphus said as he placed some magic on Blitzo's face "You are gonna watch every memory of your sins, no looking away & no closing eyes."

"Andrealphus, this is too much, he's just a child!" Vassago called out

"No, he's a criminal in disguise." Andrealphus said

Blitzo was forced to watch every bad memory up to the circus fire incident.

Memory

Blitzo was trying to get Tilla out of the burning tent

"Blitzo, you must save yourself." Tilla coughed weakly

"No, Mom, I'm not leaving you, I'm getting you out of here!" Blitzo cried

"It's already too late for me, you need to go on & live, please look out for your sister Barbie, you two have been the best things that ever happened in my life & were the only good things out of my marriage, I'm grateful everyday to have given you life." Tilla said

"Mom, please–." Blitzo begged

"I'm sorry, Blitzo, goodbye." Tilla said as she pushed her son out of the tent

"Mom!" Blitzo shouted

"I love you." Tilla said as she was consumed by the flame

"NO!" Blitzo shouted as he was thrown by an explosion "MOM!"

Memory End

Blitzo had tears in his eyes as he began breathing in panic while everyone was shocked & stunned as some felt sorry for the little one

"Not only is Blitzo a thief & a sexual perpetrator, he is also a pyromaniac & a murderer who set his own circus on fire & killed his own mother!" Andrealphus announced

"No, I didn't mean to, it was an accident!" Blitzo cried

"Andrealphus, didn't you see that clearly!? He tried to save his mother!" Belphegor scolded

"Wait, look!" Vassago pointed

Everyone looked as they saw Blitzo in Mammon's office talking to him in the next memory

Memory 2

"So, what can I do for you, Blitzo?" Mammon asked

"Yes sir, you see, I have some concerns about our tent material." Blitzo said

"Mm-hm, what about it?" Mammon said

"Well, I'm concerned that our acts might go wrong & cause damages, so I was thinking maybe you can get some fabric which is fire-proof just to be safe?" Blitzo asked politely

"...let me get this straight...you want me to see if I can get Fire Proof fabric in case one of the acts involving goes wrong and can prevent damages…" Mammon said

"Well, yes sir." Blitzo said nervously

"THAT IS THE STUPIDEST IDEA I EVER HEARD BLITZO I'M NOT BUYING THAT SHIT BECAUSE FOR ONE THING AN INCIDENT LIKE THAT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!" Mammon snapped angrily

"But Mammon sir, we should–." Blitzo said

"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO BLITZO & GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY OFFICE!" Mammon demanded

Memory End

Everyone was surprised that Blitzo was trying to protect his family & friends from harm, the Sins glared angrily at Mammon who was sweating bullets

"Mammon, what's the meaning of this?" Satan said menacingly

"I…uhh…" Mammon said nervously

"YOU SON OF A BITCH, DO YOU REALIZE WHAT JUST HAPPENED ALL BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LISTEN TO HIM!?" Beelzebub shouted angrily with killer intent.

"Wait, there's more." Levi said

A memory showed Cash telling Blitzo that he was selling to Paimon for Stolas on his birthday while also manipulating him into stealing things to help his mother. Everyone was surprised how much Blitzo wanted to help his mother while most admired him for it, the Goetia was shocked that Stolas & Blitzo met as children, but what shocked them even more was that they their leader Paimon giving Cash's payment

"He sold his son for 5 dollars & a condom! Man, Paimon's cheaper than Mammon!" Athan said

"Hey!" Mammon glared

"Shit, this is not good, once everyone sees this, the respect & reputation of the Goetia will be destroyed!" Andrealphus though in panic

The next memory showed Cash abusing Blitzø

Memory 3

"Now you listen here, you little shit! Fizzarolli & Barbie Wire are the only talented ones in this family, while you are nothing but a good-for-nothing outcast scapegoat who I should've got rid of the day you were born. You might as well give up your little musical dreams because you're nothing & will stay nothing." Cash said as he pulled out a pocket knife & pressed it against Blitzo's neck "If you ever happen to sing, I will make sure you're mute for the rest of your life."

Memory End

Everyone was in shock & horror as most were angry at this piece of shit father for threatening his own child. Moxxie was shocked as well as it reminded him of his own father Crimson.

Their thoughts were interrupted when they heard humming, they looked at the next memory to see a baby Blitzo being cradled in the arms of someone who everyone was familiar with

"Sera?" Satan said shockingly

Memory 4

"I'm glad your kind was given a pardon because how could a little creature as sweet as you be so dangerous." Sera cooed

"Ahh~" Baby Blitzo cooed happily as he nuzzled closer

"Hm." Sera giggled before putting on a sad frown "I'm very sorry I have to do this, little one, but it's the only way to protect you."

Sera gently grabbed Blitzo's tiny little hand causing a symbol appeared on the back of it before disappearing

"I have to go now, little one, it's time for you to sleep, maybe someday we'll meet again & I'll be able to help you then." Sera said as she kissed Blitzo's forehead causing him to fall asleep

Memory End

"What was that Sera put on Blitzo's hand?" Levi said

"It looked like some kind of seal?" Belphegor said

"Sera…" Satan whispered

"No matter, it's clear to say that I've won this case." Andrealphus smiled smugly as he turned to Blitzo "You should've remained in your place, Imp."

"Please, I didn't know anything about this, I'm sorry!" Blitzo begged pleadingly

"You know, I heard that Lucifer has been looking for you these past few months, he's possibly already aware of your crimes. So once he & his wife get here, they'll be sentencing you…to death…by killing you themselves." Andrealphus said wickedly making Blitzo's PTSD act up

"No…no…" Blitzo pleaded fearfully as his heart nearly jumped out of his chest while tears fell down his face

(Asmodeus' Tower)

Fizzarolli was shocked in tears, he was relieved that his best friend was finally found but he was also angry at Mammon for not going with Blitzø's idea along with Cash using him as a scapegoat

"Blitzø…I'm so sorry…" Fizzarolli sobbed

(Stella's Mansion)

Stella & Octavia were shocked that Blitzo was the same imp who Stolas had a thing with, but when they saw what Blitzo went through, any hatred & resentment they had for him disappeared. Octavia said in tears while covering her mouth as she felt guilty for resenting him, Stella on the other hand had her fist clenched in anger as they were surrounded by pink fire.

"ANDREALPHUS!" Stella shouted ballistically as she flared up in blazes

(Morningstar Palace)

Lucifer & Lilith were extremely angry at Andrealphus for saying things like that about them along with traumatizing a child along with Cash abusing his own son

(Hazbin Hotel)

The Hazbin Gang were not happy with Andrealphus' actions.

Angel Dust & Husk's eyes went slit in anger

Pentious' hood was opened with a dangerous look

Niffty glared angrily as she clutched her needle in her hand

Alastor narrowed his eyes while clenching the head of his staff

Vaggie noticed Charlie with her hair covering her eyes

"Charlie?" Vaggie said in concern as Charlie walked out of the hotel

(Stolas' Mansion)

Stolas was stunned by what he just witness as he never knew what Blitzø went through his whole life

"What have I done?" Stolas said

(St. Ann's Pharmacy)

Barbie stood still stunned before falling to her knees while trying to process on what she just witnessed

(Murder Family Residence)

Marshall & Ralfina were crying at what they just saw, they didn't care that Blitzo was the same imp who tried to kill their Mom, but they were sad that their friend was suffering

Martha stared in guilt & shock as she finally realized why Blitzø was the way he was as an adult. Tears started to fall down her face as her husband hugged her in comfort while he took felt bad

(Pentagram Courthouse)

"You see, this is what happens when lesser demons try to step out of line." Andrealphus said

"HEY!" A voice said

Everyone looked & saw Verosika with a very angry face

"Mama!" Blitzo cried

"Mama?" The IMP trio said shockingly a long with everyone else

Verosika charged at Andrealphus & kicked him in the face sending flying into a wall, freeing Blitzo from the chains & magic

"Blitzo, honey, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Verosika said worriedly

"You." Andrealphus glared "How dare you assault an Ars Goetia!"

"Like I give a shit if you're royalty, but if you lay a hand on my child, I will fucking kill you!" Verosika said menacingly as her eyes slit with a pink glow

"Is that a threat?" Andrealphus said

"No, It's a promise, & I'm not alone." Verosika said

Verosika's gang also appeared with their eyes slit with red & pink glows while Vortex was surrounded by feral magic.

"Blitzo, get out while you still can." Verosika said

"But Mama–." Blitzo said

"No buts, we'll be alright, just go." Verosika said

"Okay." Blitzo said as he began to run away

"What are you doing, stop him!" Andrealphus said

"Going somewhere, mate!" Mammon dropped down in front of Blitzo

"Mammon! Stop!" Asmodeus demanded

"I don't think so, Oz, this brat owes me for wrecking Loo Loo Land." Mammon smiled wickedly

"Leave him alone!" Beelzebub tackled Mammon & started choking him "Run kiddo!"

Blitzo ran towards the door before a lasso caught his arm, he looked & saw Striker

"Sorry kid, nothing personal, just business." Striker smirked sinisterly before a large star cut the lasso "What the fuck!"

"¡Quítate del camino, vaquero!" Vassago exclaimed as he kicked Striker in the face & sent him flying into a wall "Now's your chance, mijo!"

"NO!" Andrealphus shouted as his tail feathers spread out

The tail feathers form into icicle blade which reached out in front of Blitzo & formed into an ice dragon

"I will not allow you to escape from justice!" Andrealphus said

The ice dragon opened its mouth toward Blitzo before stopping, he noticed a white stick which looked like the end of an arrow stuck to its head which shined causing cracks of light all over the dragon before it broke apart. Everyone looked to see Sera with her bow in hand

"Sera!? How dare you interfere in demon affairs!" Andrealphus said in outrage before a light arrow stabbed him in the shoulder "AAAAAAAGH!"

"Go, little one, run away!" Sera said

Blitzo ran out of the Courthouse through town. A moment after running, he stopped behind a building as the memories began to replay in his head which caused to begin to have a panic attack.

Back at the Pentagram Courthouse, Beelzebub was still strangling Mammon

"I'LL KILL YOU, I'LL KILL YOU, I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL KILL YOU, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" Beelzebub screamed angrily as the rest of the Sins pulled her off of Mammon "GET OFF OF ME, GET OFF ME! IT'S ALL HIS FAULT, ALL OF IT!"

"Bee, it's okay! That's enough!" Asmodeus said

"DO YOU ALL KNOW WHO I AM! I AM THE MARQUIS OF HELL! THIS IS TREASON, I SWEAR I WILL HAVE YOU ALL EXECUTED & MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS!" Andrealphus swore as he began going into full demon form

Suddenly, Andrealphus was hit by a gold, purple, & red fire ball, causing everyone to look to see the Morningstar Family as they were furious with their eyes glowing red & their horns sticking out

"Your Majesties, thank goodness you're here, these ruffians were—!" Andrealphus said

"Protecting me & Lilith's godson & Charlie's Godbrother!" Lucifer said angrily

Everyone except Sera gasped shockingly as Andrealphus, Mammon, & some of the Goetia who looked down on imps paled in fear

"You're…godson?" Andrealphus said

"That's right, Lucifer & I were best friends with his mother Tilla that she made us his godparents." Lilith said "What gives you the right to spout nonsense about us executing children, especially one of them is our godson!"

"Now now, your majesties, I swear I never knew that imp was your godson, if I had known I'd–." Andrealphus said

"I'm gonna stop you right there, Elsa, I took him to a therapist yesterday & he's diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder." Verosika glared

"WHAT!?" The Morningstar Family exclaimed

"Let's not be hasty, I never meant to worsen his condition since I didn't know!" Andrealphus said fearfully

"Señora Mayday, Blitzo, when you arrived here he called you Mama, did you somehow adopt him?" Vassago asked

"No, not yet, my crew & I just took him in & became his caretakers, he just started calling me Mama last weekend." Verosika said

"We found him like a month ago & we've been taking care of him since." Vortex added

"I see, is there a reason why he's a child?" Vassago said

"We can't talk about that later, we have to find Blitzo now, he must be terrified after that experience." Charlie said

"Right." Lucifer said as he faced one of the cameras "Attention Overlords & anyone who is available, please be on the lookout for Blitzo. Blitzo, if you're seeing this, you can come back, your mama is safe & unharmed from Andrealphus, please don't be afraid."

"Blitzo, sweetie, what Andrealphus just told you about us, it's not true. We would never EVER do anything to hurt you, we promised your mother that we would always look after you & we're intending on keeping that promise." Lilith said tearfully

"No matter what you did we will always love you, we're your family & we'll always be there to protect you, & we wanna help you as much as we can with what you're going through." Charlie said tearfully

"Cash Buckzo! Don't think I'm gonna let you off the hook with what you did to your son! You're gonna face the consequences of your actions towards Blitzø! I'M GONNA TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB!" Lucifer said demonically as he punched the camera breaking it to pieces

"You okay, Lucifer?" Belphegor said

"Yeah, I'm fine." Lucifer said as he looked at Sera leaving "Sera."

"Hm?" Sera looked

"...Thank you…for protecting my godson." Lucifer said gratefully

"...You're welcome, Lucifer." Sera said as she left

"Reapers!" Lucifer said as Reapers appeared "I want you all to find Cash Buckzo "I want you all to find Cash Buckzo & bring him to me."

"Yes sir." The Reapers said as they took off

"As for you, you're gonna pay for terrorizing my Godson." Lucifer said with red glowing eyes as he along his wife & daughter approached Andrealphus

"W-Wait, please, we can talk this out!" Andrealphus said fearfully

While Andrealphus was being beaten to a bloody pulp, Sera was leaving the courthouse

"Sera." Satan said from behind

"Samael?" Sera said

"I…that was a very brave & bold thing you did…you know, for one of my imp kind." Satan said

"Thank you, Samael." Sera said "I was impressed with the way you patiently handled Blitzo."

"I just didn't wanna scare him with my aggressive side, I learned that from my therapist along with…you." Satan said "Listen, about that seal–."

"I will explain that to you & the others another time." Sera said "For now, I have to get back."

"Oh…very well then." Satan said

"See you later, Samael." Sera said as she walked out

"...You too…Sera." Satan stared

As Sera arrived back at her place in Heaven, she was approached by Emily

"Sera, I just saw the trial on TV, what's going on?" Emily asked

"I'll explain everything, Emily." Sera said

Meanwhile, Adam & Lute also saw the trial at the Pentagram Courthouse

"Sir, did you just see that?" Lute asked

"Yeah, that was something, & real deep I'll admit, the kid's been through a lot." Adam said

"What was your manager doing with the hellspawn & why was she protecting him?" Lute said

"Beats me." Adam shrugged

(Cash Buckzo)

When Cash was sitting on a chair scared shitless as he saw Lucifer punched the camera, it was at that moment he knew…he fucked up.

(Cannibal Town)

"Attention all cannibals, if you see a terrified impling, report him to me & do not, I repeat do NOT eat him." Rosie announced through a megaphone

(V Tower)

"Well, that was really interesting to watch." Valentino commented

"Hey Velvette, isn't Blitzo Fizzarolli's ex-best friend?" Vox asked

"..." Velvette stared

"Velvette?" Vox said

"...Vox, do you have the Morningstars message to Blitzo recorded?" Velvette asked

"Uh, yeah, it's in my memory chip." Vox said

"Get in the van." Velvette said

"What why?" Vox said confusingly

"GET IN THE FUCKING VAN NOW!" Velvette shouted

"Okay okay, you don't have to yell!" Vox said

(Carmine Building)

"Zestial, Clara, Odette, we need to act fast now." Carmilla said

"Indeed." Zestial said

Once they stepped outside the building, they hear the sound of panicked breathing, they went behind the building & saw Blitzo having a panic attack

"Mierda." Carmilla said in alert as she reached out to Blitzo "Blitzo."

"No, don't touch me!" Blitzo exclaimed

"Easy there, Blitzo, we're not going to harmeth thee." Zestial said

"No, you don't understand, I destroy everything, I make everyone's lives WORSE!" Blitzo cried

"Yond's not true, thee haven't did destroy aught." Zestial said

"Calm down, mijo, it's gonna be alright." Carmilla said soothingly as he picked him up "We need to get him to a hospital, right now."

"The nearest hospital is the D. Nation's Children's Hospital." Odette said

When they came out from behind the building, a news van stopped in its tracks before opening the back revealing to be Velvette

"Velvette?" Carmilla said surprisingly

"Get in, now." Velvette said seriously

"Can you take us to the hospital?" Clara said

"I can, no time to waste!" Velvette said

They got in the back in the van

"All my fault! All my fault! All my fault!" Blitzo sobbed

"Blitzo, it's gonna be alright." Carmilla said

"Can't you drive any faster!?" Clara said

"Hey, I'm causing accidents here! Find something to calm the kid down!" Valentino argued "It's bad enough Vox & I are dragged into this!"

"Hold on, I got just the thing." Velvette said as she pulled out an oxygen mask attached to a bottle of blue liquid

"What's that?" Odette said

"It's a calming potion, it helps with the nerves & relaxes the mind like anesthesia. Don't worry, it's safe." Velvette said "Now Blitzo, love, Auntie Velvette is gonna make you feel better, so please work with me."

Velvette put the mask against his face & sprayed the gas of the potion, making Blitzo calm down a little

"There we go, good boy." Velvette smiled adoringly "Vox, show the video."

"Right." Vox said "Kid, the Morningstar Family has a message for you."

Vox played the message on his screen as Blitzo stared as he started drifting to sleep

"& He's out like a light." Velvette said

"Gracias, Velvette." Carmilla said gratefully

Later at the D. Nation's Children's Hospital, Verosika & her crew were in the waiting room as they had been called that Blitzo was found safe. When Basilica came to the waiting room.

"Basilica, is Blitzø alright?" Verosika asked worriedly

"He's in stable in condition, the Overlords were lucky to have found him at the nick of time, & they were able to keep him calm from his panic attack." Basilica said

"Can we see him?" Verosika asked

"You may." Basilica said

Verosika & her gang went to the room Blitzø was in where he was sleeping peacefully until they heard someone's throat cleared. They turned to see the Morningstar Family.

"Ms. Mayday, would you mind explaining why my Godson is a kid again?" Lucifer said

"Well, Blitzo went to this Soul-searching thing which went wrong & caused his disappearance, then a couple of months later we found him like this." Verosika said "He still has his memories, but only the bad ones, he doesn't remember his job, his employees, or his daughter."

"Does he still remember us?" Charlie said in concern

"I don't know, he never mentioned you." Verosika said

"Do you mind if I take a look at the rest of his memories along with yours." Lucifer said

"No, not at all." Verosika said

When Verosika & Blitzo's memories were shown, the Morningstars were surprised & touched with the way Verosika took care of Blitzo.

"You've done well in taking care of Blitzo, we admire that very much." Lilith said

"Thank you, Mrs. Morningstar, so what happens now?" Verosika said

"One thing for sure, he's not going back to Cash since he has shown to be an unfit father, so if you're still planning to adopt him, we can give you the paper to sign." Lucifer said

"Are you sure? I mean he is your godson." Verosika said

"We'll always be a part of Blitzo's life, but he seems to be a lot happier when he's with you, promise us you'll keep taking good care of him." Charlie said

"I will." Verosika said

"We'll be sure to visit whenever we can, & if you need anything, be sure to call us." Lilith said

"Okay." Verosika

Lucifer created an official adoption paper which Verosika had signed, when the Morningstars Family left

"Mmmm…Mama?" Blitzo woke up slowly

"Blitzo." Verosika gasped slightly as she hugged him tightly

"I thought I lost you." Blitzo said

"You never did, baby." Verosika said "I have some good news."

"What?" Blitzo asked as Verosika showed him the adoption paper "Is that what I think it is?"

"Yes, you are officially my son, Blitzo Mayday." Verosika said

"Thank you, I promise to be a good son." Blitzo said tearfully

"You already are, baby." Verosika smiled as she hugged her now adopted son "I love you so much."

"I love you too, Mama." Blitzo said

Vortex & Verosika's gang joined in on the hug welcoming the new member of their family.

Chapter Text

Trial Aftermath

In Heaven's Courthouse, Sera was at the center of the trial as the Elders, Archangels, Adam, Lute, Emily, & the other Seraphim Angels had gathered

"Presenting our Lord & Savior, God." Michael said

A light shines down as God appeared before everyone as they bowed down to Him

"All rise." God said as everyone rose "Sera."

"Yes Lord." Sera said

"I've learned that you had placed a seal on Lucifer's godson, Blitzo when he was an infant." God said "Is it true?"

"Yes Lord, I will not deny what I had done." Sera said

"You're very well aware that putting seals on Hellborns is a punishable offense, right?" God said

"Yes, my Lord." Sera said

"Do you have an explanation for this action?" God said

"I had a vision." Sera said

"A vision?" God said curiously

"Blitzo will become the next Demon King of Hell." Sera said, much to everyone's shock "The reason why I put the seal on him was because after seeing his treatment in the vision, I feared if he had his power at the time, he would become something he wasn't due to the influence of his father & all the negativity everyone put on him at the time. Since then, I have been making sure that he was safe, that is until he went to that place for Soul Searching."

Everyone was shocked & stunned, even God Himself that Sera had done it to make sure a Hellborn was safe.

"Is the seal permanent?" God asked

"No Sir, it's only a partial form of the seal, Blitzo will still have his powers but he will only gain them one at a time. That way it wouldn't be too hard for him to have control of them better & not overwhelm him with all that power." Sera said

"I see, although I found your actions understandable, I can't let this go unpunished as it's still illegal." God said "I hereby strip you of your status as High Seraphim."

"I understand." Sera said solemnly as God smiled

"Therefore, I promote you to the status of Guardian Angel." God said, much to everyone's surprise & shock

"What? But my Lord, why?" Sera said surprisingly

"You have done Me a great service, not only have you protected Lucifer's godson, but you've protected a part of My family." God said

"I never knew you claimed Blitzo as Your family?" Sera said

"Of course, just because I had Lucifer casted out of Heaven, doesn't mean I casted out his offspring & godchildren from My family. Since I'm already God, I can't be a god grandpa, so it would make Blitzo My grandson by My own rights." God said "Do you accept?"

"Yes, I do." Sera nodded

"If you want, you can also move to Hell to continue your duties as a Guardian Angel." God said

"Right." Sera said

"Now, I believe you need to give this explanation to Lucifer & the others." God said

"Right away, my Lord." Sera said

"Court has been adjourned." God said as He clapped His hands & disappeared

As Sera was leaving

"Sera." Emily approached her "That was a very good thing you did for Blitzo, I hate to imagine what it would be like if he was under his father's influence while still having that power."

"I know, more importantly, Blitzo is given a second chance at a good childhood while his father faces the consequences of his actions." Sera said

"Can I meet Blitzo someday?" Emily said

"Of course you can." Sera said

Meanwhile, at the D. Nation's Children Hospital, Verosika was in the hall as she was on the phone talking to Ms. Mayberry

"What do you mean Blitzo doesn't wanna see me?" Mayberry said

"Ms. Mayberry, Blitzo knows that you hired him to kill his friends' mother when he was an adult, & because of what happened I think he should take a couple of weeks off to heal & process." Verosika said "He also wants to homeschool during those couple of weeks, does that count as a perfect attendance?"

"Uh, yes, but can I just talk to him?" Mayberry said

"He doesn't want to, he's mad at you, Martha nearly snapped at him because of you." Verosika sighed "I don't think he wants to speak to you even when he comes back to the school, I'm sorry."

"I…you're right, I'm sorry, I never meant any harm to him." Mayberry said "I'll prepare the school subjects for the next couple of weeks of homeschool."

"Thank you, goodbye." Verosika said as she hung up & entered the room where Blitzo was out of the hospital bed ready to leave

"Does it count as good attendance?" Blitzo asked

"Yes baby, I'm so proud of you for thinking about your education." Verosika smiled

"I don't wanna miss a thing from school." Blitzo said "Will you be able to help me with homeschool?"

"Of course, we'll do what we can to put your brains into work." Vortex said he rubbed Blitzo's head

"Hehehehe." Blitzo giggled

When Verosika, her gang, Blitzo, & Vortex stepped out of the hospital, they saw the Morningstar Family, the Sins except Mammon, Vassago, Zestial, Carmilla, her daughters, & the Vs

"Blitzo, darling." Velvette said happily as she along with her fellow Overlords approached "How are you feeling, Baby Heart?"

"Better." Blitzo said

"Well, we're happy that you're okay, amor." Carmilla smiled

"Thou had given us quite a scare." Zestial said

"Thank you all for finding me & taking me to the hospital." Blitzo said

"Don't mention it, kid." Vox said neutrally

"It was our pleasure helping you in your time of need." Odette smiled

"Blitzo." Lucifer called out, causing Blitzo to quickly hide behind Verosika "Wait, no, don't be afraid."

"Hm, I guess that calming potion worked so well that the kid blocked out the recording Vox as he was falling asleep." Valentino said

"Oops, I guess I used a bit too much." Velvette said

"Blitzo, darling, there's no need to be scared of us, we know what Andrealphus said about us, but we assure you it's not true." Lilith said

"You're still gonna punish me." Blitzo said

"No one is getting punished except Cash, Andrealphus, & Mammon." Satan said

"But my older self did bad things." Blitzo said

"I know, I know, but we decided to give you a pass since we know what you were going through which caused your mental condition." Satan said

"That's right, sea pup, you also had no knowledge of your crime, so it's only fair." Levi said

"Besides, we don't have the heart to punish a child with PTSD, we'd be bigger buttfaces if we did." Athan said

"Blitzo, we would never do anything to hurt you." Lucifer said

"Why? I'm just an Impling, why would you care?" Blitzo said

"Because we're your godparents." Lucifer said

"Godparents? I don't have godparents." Blitzo said much to the Morningstars' shock

"...You don't remember us, do you?" Charlie said speechlessly

"No, I don't." Blitzo said

"Blitzo, we are your godfamily, I used to babysit you." Charlie said

"How do I know you're not lying?" Blitzo said

"They're not, Blitzo." A voice said

Everyone looked & saw Sera

"Sera." Blitzo said as he came up to Sera & hugged her

"Hello, love, I have good news for you." Sera smiled as she picked him up in her arms "I've officially become your guardian Angel."

"Really? Does that mean I'll be able to see you more often?" Blitzo said excitedly

"Of course." Sera said as she placed him on the ground "Now, hold still, I'm gonna restore your memories of the Morningstar Family."

Sera's hand glowed & placed it on Blitzo's head for a moment before pulling back, then he looked at the Morningstar Family

"Uncle Luci, Auntie Lily, Sissy Char-Char?" Blitzo said much the Morningstars happiness

"Yes, yes buddy, it's us!" Lucifer said happily

"Darling, why didn't you tell us about your father?" Lilith said

"...He said you would punish me by making me your circus monkey slave." Blitzo said hesitantly

"What?!" Lucifer said incredulously

"He also said that if I wouldn't do a good job in that, Lilith would eat me." Blitzo said

"Eat you!?" Lilith exclaimed shockingly "Why on earth would I do something like that!?"

"He said that you ate children due to the stories." Blitzo said

"Honey, that's just an old cultist's tale, it's not even true." Beelzebub said

"It's not?" Blitzo said

"Of course not, also why would we punish you for speaking out?" Lucifer said

"He said that you wouldn't believe me since you're his best friends." Blitzo said

"Best Friends!? With Cash!? You gotta be kidding me!?" Lucifer said incredulously "Blitzo, you honestly we'd be best friends with someone like him?"

"Blitzo, if anything, your mother was our best friend, we never even approved of her marrying a manipulative deadbeat like Cash." Lilith said "But you were the only good thing that came out of her marriage with Cash."

"You mean that?" Blitzo said

"We do, we love you so much & we'd do anything to help, support, & protect you. From now on, we're not gonna let Cash hurt you anymore since he has done enough damage to you." Charlie said

"That's right, he's not gonna get away with it this time, he'll get what's coming to him when the reapers retrieve him." Lucifer said

"Okay." Blitzo said as he was suddenly hugged by the Morningstar Family

"Hey Charlie, since you used to be Blitzo's babysitter, would it be okay for you to get your old job back." Verosika said "Since his memories have been broadcasted all over Hell, it might have been a problem between him & Octavia."

"Of course, you can drop him off at the Hotel, a few people there are wanting to see him." Charlie said

"Thank you." Verosika smiled

"Mijo, I believe this belongs to you." Vassago said as he gave Blitzø his backpack

"Thank you, Vassago." Blitzo said

"De nada." Vassago smiled "Since you were kept from singing by your father, perhaps someday I would like to hear you sing."

"Oh, r-really?" Blitzø said uneasily

"Si, & this time your father won't be able to attempt to harm that lovely voice of yours." Vassago said

"Hey Blitzo—." Asmodeus said

"You stay away from me." Blitzo glared

"Don't think we didn't see the memory of you & Fizzarolli humiliating Blitzo." Lucifer said "Was it true?"

"I, uhh, ehehehehe." Asmodeus chuckled nervously "Well, we were just having a bit of fun."

"Fun? Fun!? Asmodeus, I am this close to climbing up there & STRANGLE you!" Lilith said angrily

"I'm sorry." Asmodeus squeaked fearfully

"You will be, because you'll be punished as well later." Lucifer narrowed his eyes threateningly

"Speaking of that incident at Ozzie's I had seen you join in on the humiliation along with that petty Anti-Blitzo Party." Lilith said

"I know, Mrs. Morningstar, I've been seeing a real therapist to get my act together & be a better parental figure to Blitzo." Verosika said

"Good, you better cancel those Anti-Blitzo Parties while you're at it, don't let anything happen to him." Lilith said sternly

"Regardless of your mistakes, we're grateful for your kindness towards him, now that we've given you the opportunity to officially adopt him, all you need to do is go home & be a good mom." Lucifer said

"I will." Verosika said

"Now wait just a minute!" A voice called out

Everyone looked & saw Moxxie, Millie, & Loona

"Your highnesses, I object to this decision, you can't let Verosika adopt Blitzø." Moxxie protested

"Why not?" Lucifer raised an eyebrow "Verosika has been taking good care of Blitzø ever since she found him"

"But she doesn't know a thing about raising a child." Moxxie said

"Yeah, we believe you should place him in our care." Millie said

"Oh, & I suppose you know everything about raising kids." Verosika said sarcastically "Tell me, can you even afford to raise a child even when the company Blitzo made is failing without him?"

"That doesn't matter, we can figure something out." Loona glared

"Apparently, that's not good enough." Verosika said "I don't know why you're against the idea of me being Blitzo's adoptive parent, I haven't been hurting him since I found him."

"That's true, we were with her the whole time." Kiki said

"Why would we believe you since we know your kind?" Moxxie said bitterly

"Our kind? What's that supposed to mean?" Ace glared

"Don't think we know how your minds work, we know you're just gonna corrupt his mind." Millie narrowed her eye

"Is that some racist crack about succubus & incubus?" Coco glared offendedly

"It's not, we both know your kind can't raise another demon kind, it's disordered." Moxxie said

"Okay, you're really asking for it." Joe said irritatedly

"Yeah, you need to turn around & walk away." Milky warned

"Gladly, & we're taking Blitzø with us." Moxxie said as he took Blitzo by the hand "Come on, Blitzø, we're going home."

"Hey, you can't just take him!" Verosika called out

"Watch us!" Millie glared

"Let go of me." Blitzo said as tried to pull away

"Blitzø, this is for your—." Moxxie said

"I said let go of me!" Blitzo demanded as he kicked Moxxie's leg

"Ah! My shin!" Moxxie yelped as Milky pulled Blitzo away

"Okay, the three of you, back up." Satan said sternly

"But sir, we—." Loona said

"Don't make me say it again." Satan glared threateningly as the trio backed away "Lucifer & Lilith's decision is final & It's obvious the boy doesn't know you, plus if you take Blitzo away from Verosika, it would be considered kidnapping."

"Kidnapping!? Are you kidding me!?" Moxxie said in outrage

"Blitzø, sweetie, I know you lost your memory of us, but we—." Millie said

"I don't care who you are, I'm not going with you! I don't know how my older self met you or how he knew you, but it was a mistake!" Blitzo raised his voice much to the trio's shock "Heck, he was possibly only using you as a replacement family since my old family left me!"

"Blitzø…we don't believe that you would—." Moxxie said speechlessly

"Don't even deny it, it was obvious I ended up making your lives worse like everybody else." Blitzo said

"No no, that's not true, you—." Millie said

"Look, just do yourselves a favor & forget about me like you never met or knew me." Blitzo said "It would make your lives so much better."

"But…we…" Moxxie said

"Come on, baby." Verosika said as he picked up Blitzo in her arms "Let's go home."

"One eye open, one eye open." Ace warned while pointing at the trio as he along with Verosika & the other gang members left

"Tex, if you're looking for a birthday party planner, you know where to find me." Beelzebub said

"Gotcha, babe." Vortex smiled

"Vortex, why didn't you tell me that you found Blitzø sooner?" Loona said

"I couldn't place him under your care due to your condition." Vortex said

"My condition? What are you talking about?" Loona said confusingly

"He's talking about your anger problem." Beelzebub said

"That's right, we were afraid that you would end up terrorizing him by taking your anger out on him until you had enough & placed him in an orphanage having his childhood taken away a second time." Vortex said

"That would make sense since she nearly snapped at him at court." Satan said

"What!? No, I would never do that!" Loona said defensively

"Loona, your treatment of him says otherwise." Vortex said "You remember what you said to him back at the beach?"

"But I didn't mean it, I swear." Loona said

"& did you ever apologize for it?" Vortex said

"..." Loona looked away in shame

"Exactly, that's why we can't let you keep hurting him." Vortex said

"But Tex, I–." Loona said

"No Loona, you have an anger problem, you need help, & until you get your act together, you're never gonna be a part of his life." Vortex said sternly as he left.

"Hey Sera, about what we saw in the memories of you & Blitzo." Lucifer said

"I'll explain that tomorrow, it's been a tiring day today for all of us, so it's best that we all go home & rest for the day." Sera said

"I agree with her, today was something else." Beelzebub said

"Yeah, we're tired from today." Vox said

"Very well, we'll have a meeting tomorrow." Lucifer said

"Samael?" Sera said

"Hm? Yes?" Satan said

"You don't mind if I stay with you, do you?" Sera asked

"Oh, uh, of course, stay as long as you want." Satan said surprisingly

"Vox, Val, you two go on without me, there's something I gotta do." Velvette said

"Okay." Valentino said as everyone left leaving the IMP trio

"So that's it, we lost Blitzø to Verosika." Loona said lowly

"What do we do now?" Millie said in concern

"Shit, I think my leg is broken." Moxxie said "Good thing we're at a hospital."

"It's a children's hospital, sweetie." Millie said

"Damn it." Moxxie facepalmed

Meanwhile, Cash was packing while calling Barbie

"Dad, you told us Blitzø deliberately caused that fire out of jealousy! You lied to us!" Barbie yelled

"No, I thought he did it out of jealousy, there's a difference!" Cash said

"But you called him a scapegoat which you were using him as such!" Barbie said

"I never meant to call him that! Help me out here, tell Lucifer I was only giving him tough love." Cash said

"That's exactly what you convinced me what it was ever since I was a child! You told me it was tough love, you told me Blitzø was being petty, bitter, & ungrateful! & I believed you, why the fuck did I believe you!" Barbie said frustratingly

"But that was taken out of context!" Cash said

"Taken out of context!? They were fucking memories, Dad! Memories never lie! The only one who was lying was you! You lied to me, you lied to Fizz, you lied to EVERYBODY!" Barbie said angrily "The only ones who didn't believe your lies were Lucifer, Lilith, & Charlie!"

"Barbie, please, I'm innocent! You can't let them do this to me, I'm your father!" Cash said frantically

"No, I'm not bailing you out on this, have fun being an old prison bitch for the rest of your miserable life!" Barbie said as she hung up

"Damn it! After everything I did for that girl, this is the thanks I get!" Cash said bitterly as he was suddenly in chains & shackles "What the fuck!?"

"Cash Buckzo, you're under arrest for child abuse & defamation." Reaper said

"Shit!" Cash cursed

At Verosika's place, Verosika was watching Blitzo doing his homework as she couldn't help but smile at the fact that he was now a part of her family as it was the joy of a new mother.

"Yo V?" Vortex whispered

"Hm?" Verosika said softly

"It's Fizzarolli, Asmodeus, & Velvette, they're outside." Vortex said "Fizz wants to talk to you."

"Okay, I'll go see them." Verosika said

Verosika went outside to see Asmodeus, Velvette, & Fizzarolli who had an angry glare

"Hey Fizz." Verosika said

"You had Blitzø this whole fucking time & you didn't even tell me!" Fizzarolli said angrily

"I couldn't." Verosika said

"Why?!" Fizzarolli demanded

"Because he has bad memories of you, he thinks you still hate him." Verosika said

"What? That can't be right." Fizzarolli said confusingly

"It's true, Fizz, he tried this Soul-searching thing, & apparently it didn't end well." Verosika said "Next thing we know, he's a child who only has bad memories & no memories of Moxxie, Millie, Loona, & his company."

"No…no…" Fizzarolli said in disbelief

"Fizzarolli, how could you believe Blitzo caused that fire on purpose?" Verosika said

"I don't know, it was what Cash & the others told me, they said Blitzø was jealous for wanting the spotlight & wanted me gone." Fizzarolli said

"& you believed them!? Fizz, you know Cash & those other circus bastards talked shit about Blitzø along with treating him like shit his ENTIRE fucking life!" Verosika scolded "You believed his tormentors over your own best friend!"

"I didn't mean to, I was just overwhelmed by the fire & losing my limbs." Fizzarolli said

"That's not an excuse, Blitzø trusted you & he loved you, hell he even tried to get a fireproof tent just to make sure you were safe!" Verosika said

"I didn't know, he never told me that part, I thought that pageant was where he & Mammon met for the first time, but I guess Mammon didn't recognize him." Fizzarolli said

"That or Mammon was pretending that he never met him." Asmodeus added

"The point is I'm just as much of a victim as Blitzø was." Fizzarolli said

"This isn't about you, Fizz, it's about Blitzo, do you realize how hurt & betrayed he was when you chose a bunch of people who only loved & cared about you when it was convenient over him who had always valued your friendship." Verosika said

"You're right, I was stupid, I never meant to put others above him." Fizzarolli said

"& you'll always put others above me." a voice said

Everyone looked & saw Blitzo peeking from the front door

"Blitzø!" Fizzarolli smiled as he reached & grabbed Blitzo with his robot limbs before hugging him "Blitzo, I am so sorry for not believing you, I was such an idiot."

"You lied to me." Blitzo said as his fist clenched

"What?" Fizzarolli said

"You LIED to me!" Blitzo yelled as he pushed him away "You said you would never leave me, you promised!"

"No, I didn't leave you, I would never, I just didn't know what to believe." Fizzarolli said

"You did know, you chose to believe THEM!" Blitzo glared

"No, I didn't, you don't understand." Fizzarolli said

"I DO understand, I understand I was never enough for you! You never loved Mama, & you don't love me, you love FAME!" Blitzo said "& you needed the circus, was that the reason why you joined the circus in the first place?"

"No, Blitzø, please, you were always the only good thing about that circus." Fizzarolli said

"So you just joined the circus for fame because of me? Was I just a tool for you to use & throw away? Is that why you didn't hesitate when you got a chance to leave!" Blitzo said tearfully

"That's not true, please buddy, let me explain." Fizzarolli pleaded

"I can't…you lied to me once & you'll do it again…I hope you got what you wanted." Blitzo said as he walked away

"No wait, Blitzo, please!" Fizzarolli begged tearfully "Verosika, please, talk to him."

"No, I would give him a lot of time if I were you, I'm sorry, Fizz." Verosika said sympathetically

As Blitzo & Verosika entered the house, Fizzarolli dropped to his knees & broke down crying as Asmodeus & Velvette comforted him

Meanwhile Andrealphus was sitting in a chair as he was severely injured by the Morningstars, he had a black eye, a few burns on his body, his arm was bandaged in a sling, his leg was bandaged as well, even his tail feathers were burned off. He was sulking bitterly until someone blast through the door with fire to reveal Stella & Octavia with angry faces

"ANDREALPHUS ARS GOETIA!" Stella shouted angrily "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?"

"Oh come now, don't tell me you're pissed at me too!" Andrealphus complained before his was grabbed by Stella

"I told you the plan was off & I told you to leave them alone! But you didn't listen to me!" Stella scolded

"But I just exposed that scrawny little brat for who he is! Aren't you angry that he's the same imp who fucked your husband!?" Andrealphus said

"What we're angry about is that you traumatized a child who has absolutely no idea of his adult self's actions! You even went as far as to traumatize him when he was diagnosed with PTSD!" Stella said "Why would you lie about Lucifer & Lilith killing a child, you know they both love children!"

"I forgot alright, & how was I supposed to know that brat was their godson!? They're the ones who kept it secret! It's awfully suspicious!" Andrealphus said

"They possibly kept it secret so they could protect him from others who would possibly use him for their own gain until you fucking blew the cover!" Stella said

"Oh I blew the cover!? Look who's talking, if you had kept your big mouth shut, none of this would have happened!" Andrealphus argued

"I know, & I blame myself for it! But need I remind you that I tried to stop you when I told you to let them alone along with calling the plan off! You should have given up when Satan dismissed the case, Beelzebub did say that Blitzo was being honest in not having any recollection, you know she has the power of empathic taste!" Stella said

"How could you do this to me, Uncle Andre, because of you Verosika fired me as Blitzo's babysitter!" Octavia cried

"Via, don't overreact, Verosika specifically said that Blitzo needed time away from you, she did not dismiss you of your babysitter duties." Stella comforted

"It's the same thing!" Octavia sobbed

"Now, my dear, you should be happy that you're relieved of this plebeian job of being an imp's babysitter since you now know who he is. After all, you did hate him when he was an adult since he was planning to steal your father away." Andrealphus said

"The reason why I hated him is because I never understood what was going on, but I realized that Blitzø was only courting him to get the Grimoire for his business! He was never planning on taking away father which is why he never reciprocates since Dad only saw him as a fuck toy!" Octavia said

"You're gonna pay for the damage you've caused, Andrealphus." Stella said as her fists became surrounded in fire

"Count us in." A voice said as they looked

"Pentious, Husk, & Angel Dust?" Octavia said

"In person." Angel said before glaring at Andrealphus "So, you like terrorizing kids, eh?"

"Why should you care about that brat!? You don't even know him!" Andrealphus glared back

"Let's just say Blitzo has a recent special connection to us." Husk said cracking his knuckles

"Consssider this a price to pay." Pentious said

"Oh shit." Andrealphus said fearfully

Later, Verosika was getting ready to start dinner, when she heard the doorbell, when she opened it, she saw Barbie

"Oh HELL no! Not you!" Verosika said angrily

"V, listen, I–." Barbie said

"I don't wanna hear it, get off my yard." Verosika dismissed

"No, please, I just wanna talk to Blitzø." Barbie said

"Oh, NOW you wanna talk, well it's too late for that, so if you'll excuse me." Verosika said sarcastically

"But V, I wanna apologize, I was wrong about Blitzø, so dead wrong." Barbie said

"You should've realized that sooner." Verosika said

"But you I don't understand, Cash lied to me, it was because of him I lost my brother." Barbie said

"No Barb, you didn't lose your brother, you threw him away willingly." Verosika said

"No, I didn't, I–." Barbie said

"Yes you did, tell me, do you think you know your brother, you think you know he would be capable of purposely hurting the people he loves?" Verosika scolded

"What are you talking about? Of course I know my brother!" Barbie said defensively

"Then name one thing about him? His favorite things don't count." Verosika narrowed her eyes

"Well…he…Uhh…" Barbie stammered

"Exactly, you don't know anything about him, you chose to believe the worst about him without seeing the truth." Verosika said "In the end, you turned out just like Cash & those other bastards who thought less of him, like father like daughter."

"I…I'm sorry." Barbie said shamefully

"& Why should he believe you when you never believed him." Verosika That's why he's better off without you in his life."

"What? What do you mean by that?" Barbie said in alert

"I'm cutting you out of his life, Wire, I'm not gonna risk you hurting him anymore." Verosika said

"No, please, I'll do anything! I'll be a better sister from now on! Don't cut me out!" Barbie said desperately

"Why not? You said that you never wanted to see him, so I'm giving you your wish, you will never see him again." Verosika said

"I changed my mind, I need him! He's the only family I have left!" Barbie said tearfully

"& He needed you when he lost everything in that fire, he needed you to comfort him, he needed you to stand up for him, he needed you to stand by him." Verosika said "Now, he doesn't need you anymore, the only family he has are me, Vortex, my crew, the Morningstars, his friends, & others who will always care & support him as he grows up. Now, I'm gonna tell you one more time, get out of here & stay out."

Barbie was silent for a moment before turning & walking away in tears before Verosika came back in the house.

"Mama, are you okay?" Blitzo said

"Yes baby, I just sent Barbie away." Verosika said

"Oh, okay." Blitzo said

"Did you wanna see her?" Verosika asked

"No, not really." Blitzo said "But that's okay, I have a new family now."

"You sure do, sweetie, you sure do." Verosika smiled as she hugged Blitzo
