Down in the pride ring in a bad apartment complex in room 332, there you'll find two of their residents named Rhys and DeeDee. Rhys is a kind and polite nineteen year old Imp who originally came from The Wrath Ring with white hair and curled horns. He also wears a brown top, a blue jacket, brown trousers, red sneakers, an Asmodean crystal around his neck and a pair of sunglasses above his head. He loves to play Grand Theft Auto V on his Hellbox One. DeeDee is a light and dark brown nineteen year old Hellhound who wears a black hoodie with blue sleeves, dark grey ripped jeans, black Nike shoes and a pair of glasses. DeeDee and Rhys used to work at a pizzeria until it closed down by the health department.

"Fuck, it's been getting harder to kill targets with only us four!" Blitz yelled. "Well maybe it's because you keep loosing your shit!" Moxxie replied. "Shut the fuck up Bitch boy...." Blitz said in an annoyed voice. "Well why don't you just hire some new employees?" Millie suggested. "Nice thinking Mills, I'll start making the help wanted posters." Then the I.M.P manager began to make the posters. A couple of hours later, Blitz and his employees hang the posters up. Meanwhile at the apartment complex, Rhys was playing his Hellbox One when DeeDee walked in, looking very pissed. "Hey man, how'd the interview go?" He asked his best friend. "Fucking terrible" the hellhound said. "Don't worry man, I'm sure we'll both find jobs soon" the Rhys replied. "Anyway, why don't we go out and have dinner at Demon Burger, I'm sure you'll feel better after that?" Soon the two best friends left their apartment and made their way towards their favourite fast food joint. As they were walking through the city, DeeDee noticed his best friend was upset. "Are you okay bro?" He asked him. "Yeah, I was just thinking about my ex" the nineteen year replied. "Don't worry, there's more fish in the sea" DeeDee said. Rhys was too busy talking to DeeDee that he didn't notice the lamppost in front of him! Then his head hit the lamppost! "Ow, what was that?!" "He howled in pain. DeeDee couldn't help but snicker. As soon as he got back up, he noticed there was a poster on the lamppost. It read: need a job? Well come to I.M.P, located in IMP City, the second ring in the pride ring." "Dude it's nearby, we should there right now" DeeDee said. "No, first we have our dinner and then we can go" his best friend replied.

"Damn Rhys, you pigged out this time I'm almost fucking broke!" The hellhound said, laughing. "Then the next time, I'll pay for it after we get this job" Rhys replied. Then the two best friends walked towards IMP City. When they arrived, Rhys walked towards a pedestrian. "Excuse me, do you know where I.M.P is?" He asked the him. "Sure just go straight for five miles, then take a right and you should be there" the pedestrian replied. "Okay thank you" the nineteen year old imp said. After they walked away from the pedestrian, DeeDee said "I'm not walking that far!" Rhys was hesitant but then agreed that they should get a ride to the building. DeeDee stuck out his thumb out. After a little bit of waiting, a van pulled up. "Something tells me we're gonna get kidnapped" Rhys thought though DeeDee didn't care. He went up to the window and then the window went down. Inside the van was three imps and a hellhound. "Um, beg your pardon sir but could you give us a ride to I.M.P?" DeeDee asked the driver. "Sure, you can ride in the front with me and my daughter while your friend can sit in the back" the driver replied. So the Imp and the hellhound climbed into the van and then it drove towards a huge parking complex outside a building. Rhys gulped. "Are you sure we can trust these guys DeeDee because I feel like we're gonna get mugged at any second?" He asked his best friend. "I'm sure it's fine Rhys, you're overreacting" the hellhound replied as he, Blitz and Loona got out of the van. Rhys then exited the van, along with the other imps and walked into the building, feeling nervous.

When they were inside, the four imps and the two hellhounds walked into a room that had six chairs with spikes around them, a table and tv set. Blitz sat down in front of the tv set, Moxxie and Millie sat on his right, Loona sat on his left, Rhys sat on the opposite side of Blitz and DeeDee sat to his right. "So I'm presume you're the boss of the company?" DeeDee asked Blitz. "How the fuck did you know?" The I.M.P manager asked the hellhound. "Because of that mug on your desk that says hashtag number one boss on it" he replied. "Oh..." Blitz said. Loona began to chuckle. "So are you boys ready to kill some humans?" The I.M.P manager asked the imp and hellhound in a sincere way. "I'm in" DeeDee said. "M-me too" Rhys stammered. "Alright, welcome aboard. My name is Blitz, the o is silent." Blitz said. "And this is my daughter Loona." "Only on paper" the gothic hellhound replied. "And this is Moxxie and his wife Millie" the I.M.P manger introduced.

"Alright I'm going to give you boys a mission. But if you fuck this up, I'm going to murder you where no one can find your corpses. I'll grab the book and Millie go accompany them" Blitz finished. "You got it boss" she said. Then Blitz got the grimoire and then he and Loona lead the two imps and the hellhound to an alley behind the building. "Make sure to come back with a photo of the dead body" the I.M.P manager said. "Yes sir" Rhys said. Then Blitz opened portal, gave the book to Millie and walked back into the building. Millie and Rhys hopped through the portal and DeeDee was about to to the same when Loona grabbed his shoulder and stopped him. "Hey... good luck and take care" she said. "Oh.. um... thanks" DeeDee replied, blushing a little bit. Then he jumped straight into the portal.

Millie handed them a picture of the human they needed to assassinate. Rhys' eyes widened when he saw the picture. "We're killing a woman?!" He yelled.
"Yeah, got a problem with it?" Millie asked the imp. "Well, it's not gentlemen like to hurt or kill a woman but I'll try to pull through with it." Rhys replied. Then Millie handed the imp and the hellhound a gun each. DeeDee then looked at the gun and took out the magazine for inspection. He started taking out the bullets and dropping them on the ground until there was only on bullet left. He then put the magazine back into the gun and was about to walk away when Millie stopped him. "Uh, are you sure you want to do that?" she asked the hellhound. "I only need one bullet" DeeDee replied. "Just put one in her head and then I'm done with it." "Hang on, maybe we should think of a strategy first?" His best friend suggested. But when he turned his head around, DeeDee was gone! "Well you two better get to it" Millie said as she pulled a folding chair out of her bag and sat down in it. Rhys sighed and ran after DeeDee. Rhys began to think of a strategy now knowing DeeDee only had one Bullet and was farther ahead of him. "Maybe I could put on my human disguise, try to seduce the target and lead her into a trap?" Rhys thought to himself. "No, no, no that won't work. Maybe we could corner her? No he's too far ahead for that." Suddenly there was a loud shotgun blast towards where DeeDee was! And then another shot went off! "Oh crap..." the imp said as began to run faster.

Rhys then got to the scene, the door had been busted down, there was blood on the floor and it looked like someone had been here. Rhys then grabbed his pistol and heard some maniacal laughter coming from the back room. "D-DeeDee, are you there?" He stammered in fear. The laughter then became silent. The imp then walked towards the room and kicked down the door and looked upon the sight. There was the target pointing a shotgun at his best friend. "P-put t-the g-gun d-down o-or e-else" he stammered as he pointed his pistol. But the woman didn't hear the imp. "Are you deaf?!" He yelled. Then Rhys pointed his gun at the woman and shot her right in the forehead! Rhys then put his pistol in his left trouser pocket, picked up his best friend, took a picture of the dead body with his phone and ran back to the spot where they started. Meanwhile, Millie was still in her chair when she got a call from Blitz. "Hey Millie, how's the imp and the hellhound doing?" He asked her. "Oh they're doing fine" she replied. She was about to hang up when she heard someone yelling, "hound down, I repeat hound down!" It was Rhys. Millie quickly hung up and ran towards him and DeeDee. "What the hell happened to him?!" Millie asked. "There's no time to explain, open the portal and take us to the hospital!" Rhys replied. Millie quickly opened the portal and then the three jumped through the portal.

They immediately rushed into the hospital where DeeDee was taken care of. After they took care of that, they went back to I.M.P and Blitz was furious when they got back. "I knew I shouldn't have hired you morons, your friend is in the hospital and that bitch isn't dead." He yelled in anger. "But she is." Rhys replied, showing him the photo on his phone. Blitz snatched the phone off of him and took a closer look at the shot. She was indeed dead. "Well then, welcome to the team." the I.M.P manger replied. "But what about DeeDee, is he apart of the team now too?" Rhys asked Blitz. "Oh yeah he's hired too, Loony go to the hospital and tell the kid the news" Blitz said. "On it" the gothic hellhound replied. Blitz then swung his arm around Rhys and chuckled. "Get ready kid because it ain't gonna get any easier." He said.
