Part One: The Prelude

"Alright, folks! Give it up for the king of all things greeeen!"

A cheering demon crowd had gathered for a spectacular concert in the Greed Ring. Green-colored spotlights hovered over the heads of the crowd while strings of round green lights arched up into the sky. Large glowing spiderwebs of magenta and neon green were spread out across the stadium and over circus tents and flags. The round stage was made of old moss-covered ship parts that jutted out haphazardly in every direction above it. Pink rectangular speakers stood on either side and Mammon's sigil glowed magenta upon the curtains. A tattered flag of Mammon's smiling jester face waved from the very top of the stage. Green flames sprang up in a circle around the outside of the stadium as the crowd grew excited.

A female imp with short black hair did a "horns/rocker" gesture with her hand next to another demon wearing a green and black jester hat. A pink succubus wore a neon green bra, while another imp wore green glasses, a green shirt and two glowing bracelets on her arm. A male imp with white hair and a nose-ring waved his fist in excitement.

The announcer boomed, "Hell's number one clown! The money-maker himself!"

A screen popped out from under the stage floor and "MAMMON" appeared in bold green letters with white dots that lit up, spun, and dinged like a casino sign.

"The sin you all looove most: MAMMON KING OF GREEEED!"

Among the crowd of demons dressed in dollar-sign shirts and Mammon hats, was the teenage duo of Blitzo and Fizzarolli. The two imps had gone to the concert as friends together before the horrific future circus accident. Teenage Blitzo had braces on his yellowed fangs, a black spiked collar on his neck, green-yellow pants, black boots, and a black tank-top with "Mammon" in green-yellow letters. Teenage Fizzarolli, with red face and large stripped horns intact had a torn short green-yellow shirt with a black "M" and a dollar sign on it, along with green-yellow bracelets, dark pants and green-yellow boots with black puff balls on them. He had neon green eye make-up over his red-yellow eyes.

Four green firework flames shot out into the air from the stage. In a bang of green lightning and smoke, the towering jester appeared in showers of confetti.

"Heya, implings!" he greeted. He wore large high black boots, a layered white jester outfit and in the center of his chest was a gold button with a dollar sign on it. He had four slender arms, one of which held a yellow-green electric guitar with a gold star on the end and a gold jester crown shape on the head of it. Green and black striped leggings covered his legs and a white and black large jester hat with a black dollar sign on it was perched on top of his head. Yellow bells hung from his hat. Sunglasses were over his eyes. He slid down to the ground in a pose, holding the guitar in three of his hands. Two hands were white and two were black.

"How're your little (*clown HONK sound*) doing tonight?! I hope you're ready for the best fucking show you will ever see in your shit lives!"

Mammon peered close with a sharp-toothed grin as more flames shot into the air. His tongue was long and purple with yellow stripes.

Blitzo, Fizzarolli and the crowd jumped up and down, chanting "Mammon! Mammon! Mammon!" Blitzo did "rocker" gestures with his hands.

"Right," Mammon continued. "I got tons of really fuckin' cool shit for you 'ere tonight, but first..."

He twirled his guitar in one hand and slammed it upright on the stage. Mammon's sigil glowed neon green behind him.

"How many of you worthless bitches wanna be big clowns like me someday?"
