I remember that dream like it was just yesterday. Then again I keep having that dream even more than usual now. The same stormy night with a rainy sky, thunder, and lightning crashing in the near distance. But I digress...

We find ourselves in the human world, a lot of mindless humans doing their stuff like how most societies are in any place. The sun was shining, birds were singing (mostly crows cawing, lol), and everything looking like it all seemed peaceful until a shotgun was heard from atop a tall building.

Voice 1: Right on the mark, Moxx!

Voice 2: Thanks, Blitz

Voice 3: Just one more and we'll be done for the day guys!

Voice 4: Groans Let's get this over with

It was shown that demonic creatures were seen bagging up a deceased human that was on their list of targets to get rid of for their clients. Immediate Murder Professionals, or I.M.P. was an assassin's business in Imp City of the Pride Ring of Hell. It was the ideal location for said business because of the constant sinners coming down from the Human World who have vengeance on their minds. 

One of the creatures was a tall slender male imp named Blitz, 2 of his employees of shorter stature were the loving married couple named Moxxie and Millie, and his adopted grey-furred hellhound daughter named Loona, who was more of a gothic punk type just wanting to get this day over with.

Everything seemed fine when they were about to kill the last target, until Loona smells the air and it seemed off.

Loona: Uhm guys? Something doesn't feel right

Blitz: What do you mean, Loonie?

Moxxie: Wait, who's that over there?! Noticed a slender feminine figure from afar aiming for the exact same target

And she would have killed them too if it weren't for Loona pouncing onto the figure making her fall to the floor. She had a certain aura around her that seemed to glow as she tries to free herself. It was more suspicious that she had a hoodie to conceal her appearances 

???: Was struggling to get out from their grasp while Moxxie takes out the target NO! Get your goddamn furry body off of me! Suddenly, as if she was possessed, she teleported out from under the hellhound

The figure would appear next to her as the others looked befuddled at what they had just witnessed. Since when did humans (besides witches and warlocks) in the modern society learn how to do magic like that? Unless...she wasn't a human at all? The mystery continued more when she manifested a portal back to Hell with a flower pendant she wore around her neck. It must have been an Asmodean Crystal because they can provide disguises and passage to the mortal realm.

???: Looks back at them appearing to be a tall imp female almost looking like Blitz, except for the black thorny vines around her arms, and she said before jumping through the portal before it closes See you all in another life, I.M.P.

And with that, she disappears into the void back to the Greed Ring which is probably where she lived. The imps and hellhound were more than confused about their encounter with the strange female imp, especially Blitz who looked more than shocked.

Loona: Uhm, who the f*ck was that?!

Blitz: I have no clue...we better head back.

Like that, the crew made a portal and went back to the Pride Ring in Imp City, confused to say the least about that girl. To be continued...

(OMG! This is actually my first time writing something like this, I hope you all are happy with this so far! And those of you who think that my OC looks like Barbie Wire, you need to open your eyes more and see the differences between the 2 before making assumptions...thank you).
