The Human Hearted Imp

Chapter 69: Western Energy Part 2

Back in the Wrath Ring, Blitz is able to reach the entrance to Striker's hideout, which is also across the railroad tracks. Blitz then prepares himself to face Striker and rescue Stolas, as well as ways to get through the mines and tunnels. He finds the backpack Randall is talking about and puts in the guns, daggers, knives, and other essentials. He also has some rope, long blades, a rifle, and other weapons.

"Okay Blitz, you can do this. Stolas' life depends on it," Blitz says to himself.

He then turns to the rail road that leads towards the mine, "Now then, I guess it's time to put all that training you have to good use. I'm going to need it while fighting Striker, and some luck."

And with that, Blitz begins to run towards the mines on the railroad. As he runs through the tunnel on the railroad tracks to reach Striker's lair. Blitz soon notices a gap ahead of him. He throws the rope at one of the stalactites and lassos it. He then swings to the other side of the gap and lands on the tracks. He continues to run along the tracks to reach the end of the tunnel. Blitz soon stops at the end of the tunnel and brings out one of his guns. He then slowly walks out and is shocked to see the large cavern. He notices a few lights and notices Striker's disturbing statue.

Blitz grumbles, "Are that many demons this horny, or am I just too turned off by this sort of stuff."

He suddenly hears grunts and other noises. Blitz soon looks down as Stolas skids onto the tracks, and looks like he's been receiving injuries.

Blitz is stunned and mutters, "Stolas."

Then he sees Striker begin to circle around Stolas. Blitz decides to try sneaking behind Striker and hopes to catch him off guard.

Striker continues to circle around Stolas as he says, "Well, this has been fun but every good thing has to come to an end. Shame you won't see your kid again."

That makes Stolas angry, "Don't you dare breathe a word about my daughter."

Striker then kneels down towards him, "Ohh... Finally hit a nerve, huh?"

"I swear, if you go near her, I will destroy you," Stolas angrily says.

And then Striker stabs him in the shoulder once more, "Big talk." And stabs the knife further, "But just that. Any last words, Goetia?"

"Sarge and the others will-" Stolas says, weakly.

But Striker interrupts, "You're little boyfriend's friends won't make it. And once I'm done with you, he'll be next," and Striker raises the knife up to finish Stolas off, "NOBODY IS COMING." but suddenly hears his phone ringing.

Striker picks up the phone and says, "Yello?"

Over the phone, Stella says, "Change of plans, darling. I need the prick alive."

Stiker becomes annoyed and shifts his gaze between the wounded Stolas and his knife.

Striker says, "I'm kinda in the middle of killing him, and will soon be planning to kill his little boy toy."

Stella continues over the phone, "Well, stop it. We need them both alive to get some affairs in order. I'll pay you more to spare them and bring them to us."

Striker groans in annoyance, "Yes ma'am."

"Glorious!" Stella says over the phone.

And Striker hangs up the phone soon after. He soon growls in anger that he throws his phone towards the wall, shattering it into pieces.

"Well, good news for you, 'Feathers'. Your royal bitch don't want you and your little toy dead no more," Striker says, and then grabs Stolas under his cheek, "But she didn't say what condition you had to be in," And hovers his knife near the prince's eyes. "I think these reds might be a pretty trophy; can't have you seeing me again, can we?"
