D.H.O.R.K.S., Undisclosed location, Earth, 2021

In a darkened green-lit room, a small monitor screen showed a clip of Moxxie stopping Blitzo from firing his rifle at Martha at her house ("Murder Family").

Another screen showed a clip of Millie slouching back to shore after killing the fish monster at the beach ("Spring Broken").

A third one showed Millie and Moxxie French-kissing with their long tongues while swinging above the stage during the battle ("C.H.E.R.U.B.").

As a fourth screen zoomed in from a field of grazing horses and focused on an excited Blitzo, mouth agape, tongue out and holding a crushed can in one hand and the grimoire on another, the clip paused.

A white finger touched the still screen.

"Right there," said a male voice. "This was the first sighting."

A witness had captured Blitzo on a cell phone and the video was soon found by members of a secret organization. The organization was called D.H.O.R.K.S., (Demon Hunter Organization of Rad Kooky Suckers) (at least that's a theory on what it stood for). They had facilities all over the country. Their goal was to search and hunt for paranormal activity, specifically demons, in order to protect Earth...but also because they were huge occult dorks. They had invented drone-like devices to track energy signatures whenever portals from Hell to Earth opened up...and the heat signatures of those nearby. As soon as the portals opened or closed, the devices were sent out. The near-invisible drones had gotten footage of I.M.P. during all their murder missions on Earth.

The members all wore black suits and carried various weapons like melee, katanas, kusarigama (metal chain with heavy iron weight at the top) naginata (curved sword), throwing stars, pole weapons, and stun guns. They were a combination of Men in Black, the Matrix, SCP Organization, and underground experiment organizations. Just your stereotypical dark conspiracy agents working in secret and studying extraterrestrial beings like those in Area 51. (Although this facility in question was labeled as Area 66.)

Another white hand appeared, gesturing to the screen as a female voice spoke. "They are definitely from Hell. They must use this dark magic to cross over into our world..." The fist clenched.

In the room, more screens displayed various scenes of I.M.P. during their adventures.

The female agent, Agent Two stood up. She had short curly blonde hair, dark skin and dark shades over her eyes. Her attire consisted of a dark suit with a white undershirt, a black necktie, red collar cuffs and red sleeve ends. Pinned on her suit was a logo; a white D over a red triangle. She adjusted her sunglasses and put her hand to her chin as she pondered in thought.

"And they seem to be killing specifically-targeted people. But why?"

The male, Agent One then stood up. He had white skin, a pointed chin and light brown short hair on his angular head. He too, adjusted his shades and wore the same colored suit and logo as his partner.

With a swoop of his hand, he added, "They always attack at random, all over the country. There's no way to predict where they'll show up next!"

Just then, the agents gasped and turned as they heard a rattling and screeching cat noise from outside. They peered through a barred window and some lopsided blinds. The male agent pulled the blinds aside and spotted Blitzo with one foot toward a dumpster.

Agent Two grinned evilly. "Ah well, that's convenient!"

"Shh!" Blitzo shushed to Moxxie as he held onto the dumpster lid. "Remember, we can't be seen!" Blitzo slammed the lid before losing his balance and tumbling to the ground. He landed head-first into a garbage bag.
