max McKnight In hell

Chapter 20: harvest Moon festival part 2



A crowd gathered in a stage were stolas was to partake in the pain games max and i.m.p we're watching the introduction of stolas but while that was happening he keeped an eye out for striker and he read his soul and he could feel a surge of hatred towards stolas.

Max didn't know why but if stolas gets killed it's not gonna end well for Octavia's mental health the poor girl doesn't need to lose the only parent that actually cares about her daughter.

Max bearly remember his biological parents but thanks to what they did to him max doesn't care about them being dead and mikado is the only person that deserves in his opinion that has the right to be a mother.

After that was over the pain games started and during it all moxxie wasn't doing well especially when the shark was trying to kill him at the one where it was about to suplex moxxie max stepped in and threw the beasts into another part of the wrath ring.

After the pain game were over there was a tie between striker and blitzo.

Max Millie and moxxie were at the stands watching the result but moxxie was not having a good time.

Moxxie: okay he has the physical advantage but I'm better at other things like singing.

Max: funny one of my friend is a guitarist I would pay to-

Striker: I like to sing a quick song about me winning.

Moxxie: OH WHAT THE FUCK!!

Striker started to sing his song and max would have call it good but the fact that he was openly humiliating moxxie give him a huge thumbs down and while that was happening blitz came and sat by with a cheese stick.

Blitz: isn't this guy great?

Moxxie: boss.

Blitz: hey I asked him if he wants to join I.m.p

Max: really blitz the guy literally humiliated moxxie not once but twice and you mean to tell me that's quality for hiring?

Millie: yeah blitz im with max this guy feels odd.

Blitz: oh don't get your panties in a twist he seems cool.

Max noticed that moxxie was quite and he was worried about him Millie also noticed and tried to comfort him.

Millie: mox is okay how about you and I spend some time together when this is-

Millie was cut off when striker's voice got louder and he said during his song.

"Moxxie go fuck yourselves"

Moxxie was resisting the urge to cry and he run off max was pissed of he made a small whip and wrapped it around striker's leg and made him trip falling of the stage.

Blitz was laughing at that but max and Millie were worried about moxxie and went to check up on him.

Millie: where could he have gone?

Max: I know where he is follow me.

While max and Millie were walking to where moxxie is Mille looked guilty max noticed and he decided to see what was troubling her.

Max: so the wrath ring isn't exactly nice for mox huh?

Millie: yeah you don't know the half of it.

Max: I saw how your family treats him they see him as weak in the physical sense.

Millie: yeah I the first time I introduced him to my family the just shadowed him.

Max: well from I managed to research imps here look up to Satan and they who I heard was jacked so I guess imps here think that strength matters.

Millie: I know I tried so many times to tell them that strength doesn't matter to me but they just won't accept mox for who he is and that asshole striker didn't help at all!

It was quite for a moment until Millie recovered from her outburst.

Millie: mox told you that I was excited for havest festival?

Max: he did what about it?

Millie: I guess I was just excited to see my parents and hope that at least give mox a chance to prove himself but I guess I hope for too much.

Max looked up at the sky and remembered the times with his family and while all three of them weren't human at least they didn't leave him to die.

Max: can I tell you something?

Millie: sure what is it?

Max: my family is unique in the terms that there not exactly normal but I was basically the odd one out but even if wasn't like them they accepted me as a son and a brother figure I guess all I'm saying is that sometimes family have different opinions on things and some can make stupid decisions moxxie isn't a bad person I can tell from his character and they guy has some issues but that doesn't make him special just be there for him when you see him I can tell he needs a shoulder to lean on.

Millie was speechless at max's words and she actually felt a little better and was more determined to make sure moxxie get support he needs

Millie: you really are a unique human max thanks

Max just shrugged his shoulders at this.

Max: I'm not exactly a love counselor but I-

*CRASH*

Max and Millie stopped when they hear something crashing they looked up and thought that it came from upstairs.

Millie: what was that.

Max: its moxxie and striker is with him.

Millie: let's get up there.

Max gave Millie a piggy back ride and he enhanced his feet with spiritual energy and he jump towards the window and busted through it and Millie got off him and got out a knife and started to stab striker.

He checked on moxxie who was having trouble breathing.

Max: mox what the hell happened?

Moxxie: striker is gonna kill stolas with that rifle!

Max was confused at his words but he looked at a table and saw a rifle that looked like the guns the mobs who kidnapped Clara and odette.

He concluded that maybe strikes is part of the mobs that kidnapped those two.

Max's thoughts were cut off when Millie was being choked by striker.

He created black whips to wrap around striker and threw him out the room.

Striker fell to the ground but his head suffered blunt force trauma he was going to get up but once again black whips wrapped around his body and was hung upside down and forced to look at max.

Max: so strike were did you get that rifle?

Striker: why the hell would I tell you? There is nothing you can do to break me!

Max just an eyebrow at him.

Max: hey moline.

Moline manifested in her snake form behind max.

Moline: yeah?

Max: you haven't eaten any living beings in a while right? What do you say I give you this guy as a snack.

Moline looked at striker and she pretended to droll just to scare him and it worked.

Striker: you fucking crazy bastard you wouldn't!

Max just put striker closer to moline and he was thrashing around his bindings in fright and he broke.

Striker: okay fine I stole it from Carmella carmine i payed mobs who stole left over angel weapons to kidnap those bitches as a distraction so can steal her weapons

Max: why are you trying to kill stolas?

Striker: that bitch Stella is paying me to off him that's all!!

Max was surprised by this and striker noticed that the whips were less tight he ripped his way out and got out a small ball and threw it into the ground creating a smoke screen.

But it wasn't normal smoke max's eye got a bit of the dust and he was force to shut them while coughing moline was immune to the smoke but she didn't know where striker was but her brother was more important.

She floated up and wrapped her tail around his waist and got him away from the smoke.

Moline saw Millie and moxxie along with the may family that heard the commotion but she was more concerned the max's eyes which were red with tears coming out.

Millie: max you okay.

Max: I'm fine just that my eyes stings get me some whatever to wash it off.

Lin: what happened?

Millie: striker was attacking moxxie and he had some shiny gun.

Moxxie: not just that it was a carmine rifle I don't know how could he have gotten that.

Sallie gave max a water cup and he dumped it in his face to get whatever striker had in that smoke.

Sallie: what's so special about that rifle?

Moxxie: that rifle can take out demon royalty and he was planning to use it on stolas.

Joe: well I'll be now did I think about when he agreed to help us prepare for the festival he did had that case but he never told us what it was.

Max: not just that he said that stolas's wife was the one who hired him to kill stolas.

Everyone were surprised by this news.

Moxxie: well that's just messed up.

Max got up and walked away from the family.

Lin: where are you going?

Max: to make a call.

Somewhere in the pride ring.

Octavia at a restaurant to have a meal she wanted to get out of the mansion to see what she can while her parents are away doing there things her she was about to eat her food until she got a call from max.

Octavia: hey max how are-

Max: are you alone?

Octavia: yeah why?

Max: good because something happened at the festival.

Octavia: what happened?

Max: your dad was almost killed by an imp that goes by the name striker and that's not all he was contracted by your mother to kill him.

Octavia stomach dropped when she heard that she knew that her mother had a short fuse but the fact that she would sent someone to kill her father and that thought brought her chills her mother and her bearly talked and she was always cautious because of her temper but not having her dad and just her mother was a nightmare.

Octavia: is dad okay!?

Max: he is fine he doesn't know about what happened moxxie found the rifle and striker tried to shut him up but if wasn't for whatever caused the noise moxxie would have died and that asshole would have killed him.

Octavia: I can't believe mom would do this she he has a short fuse but to kill dad…fuck.

Max: I've never saw or met her in person but how you describe her she sounds like a horrible person.

Octavia: she kinda is.

Max: well anyway I just wanted to let you about what happened now when I'm done with the festival I need to talk to Carmella.

Octavia: you know Carmella carmine?

Max: yeah but I'm more with her daughter clara but anyway talk to you later and if striker comes back I will put the hurt on him for you.

Octavia: thanks.

With that max hung up leaving Octavia worried on what her mother is going to do next her dad can be a fool but at least he gives her attention but her mother just cares about status if she was forced to choose she would rather take her father now.

She looked at max's contact and she thought back on the time she asked him to teach her about the exorcist training and with her mind made up she decided to go back to the mansion her parents should return for their businesses.

Back at the wrath ring the festival ended and the i.m.p group were packing up to leave for the pride ring.

While they were driving back max was thinking about that rifle and how it looked like the ones the mobs had and there was one person that seemed to know about that…. Him and Carmella are gonna have a talk.
