Helluva Boss: ''Helluva Human Kid''

I'm Ready?

The next morning...

"She knows?!" Loona gasped. "I'm afraid so, my dear." replied Stolas regrettably.

The I.M.P gang were called to start work early that day after Blitzø received late word of Stella's unexpected visit with the two Goetias.

"B-B-But, how?" Blitzø stuttered. "We've been keeping him a secret from the outside, like you would've wanted!"

"Not in the case of that Striker guy, apparently." the owl princess spoke next. "The way I see and hear it, he must've reported this to her when he tried to break into the palace."

"Wait, who's this Striker guy?" asked Balin, who was sitting on Loona's lap. "Was he the one who...?"

"Effed your fun day with Via?" interrupted Blitzø, making everyone glare at him. "Yeah, it seems about right."

Balin then clung onto Loona feeling scared of that name and that face. "Dammit Blitzø!" she barked at him. "You know how scared he is of him!"

"Don't you think either one of us is too Loonie?!" remarked her adopted father.

"No, no. It's okay." said Balin calmly. "It's just... in one of my nightmares, I..." "Balin, what does that have to do with your nightmares?" Loona interrupted him.

"It's just... he was disguised as the judge that placed me in the foster home, taking me away from my family." he sighed lowering his head. The others felt sorry for the kid every time they heard of this.

"I'm so sorry little guy." Via walked up to him and gave his cheek a rub. "Yeah, sounds like this guy must've left quite a mark on you." added Moxxie.

"Must have." Stolas said. "But we're getting off-topic here."

"My father's right." said Via. "This is about mother, and whatever she might do to him. In fact, to all of us."

"What are you talking about, Your Highness?" asked Millie, as Via pulled out a cassette tape.

"They have cassettes in Hell?" said Balin, tilting his head in confusion and looking at the readers.

"Before I went to bed each night since returning home, I prepped this cassette just in case they ever met again and got into another fight. That way, I'd understand clearly on what they were saying the next morning."

Stolas nodded knowing his daughter would bring a good method of evidence, but then widened his eyes hearing some of it.

"EVERY night? Does that mean you some nights you hear...?" Stolas sheepishly asked. "Yes dad. And it's disgusting." replied the princess.

Everybody looked disturbed for a second, before Via broke the silence. "Just listen to what I heard on the night!" she said with frustration, before turning on the tape to hear Stella's voice from the night she visited Stolas during I.M.P's beelzebub party.

"You wanna know how I heard about the little shit? Our little cowboy friend may have been the first, but don't go thinking for a minute longer that Hell is the only place my ears are." Stella said grimly on the tape, causing everyone to widen their eyes.

FLASHBACK:

As everyone listened closely to Stella's words on the tape, little flashbacks were shown.

"I'm only explaining this to you for now to know how much you don't want to cross me now." Stella continued talking. "It all started when Via uncovered everything to you. I had to send Striker after her because as you now know, for now, my competition isn't just you. And when I watched it in combat during one of their latest missions, I heard one of them yell..."
