Helluva Standoff by Rune

Moxxie has been counting the days he and Millie can finally return to the pride

ring. The vacation at Millie's parents has been awful to him. The disrespect he faces

from his in-laws has been killing him. Worst of all it seems the vacation has taken a sour

mood quickly as Millie is concerned with the fate of her family's ranch. Some young

upcoming rancher wants to expand and he wants to absorb Millie's family ranch. Her

parents have obviously said no but representatives of his have become more aggressive

in their tactics ever since Moxxie and Millie arrived. As much as Moxxie hates his

in-laws he can't help but feel bad for them. He tried to offer to talk to the

representatives but Millie's dad, Joe, outright refused. Moxxie feeling crushed that Joe

doesn't consider him man enough to deal or even be involved slightly with the

situation. As Moxxie counts the minutes until dinner is ready Millie walks in with some

"good" news.

"Hun, I got some great news! I called Blitzo and he extended our vacation here!

He says we might as well stay longer as he still can't get that weird ol' book of his" she

said in a gleeful tone. "This is perfect, hopefully we can deal with that ignorant rancher

and his goons".

"That's great Millie", Moxxie responded. As much as he hates his in-laws,

Blitzo's presence is much worse in his mind. "You know I'm surprised your family just

hasn't outright killed this jerk," he added.

"Believe me we would love to but this is the wrath ring Mox, if we solved every

dispute with violence we wouldn't have time to maintain our ranches or farms. Why do

you think we have all those games we celebrate? So we can unleash all that pent up rage

we have to hold in." Millie responded. Millie excused herself as she heard her mom

asking for assistance in cutting up a hellhog's liver. Moxxie's heart sank, this was

supposed to be a trip where they spent quality time together as a family. This situation

has disrupted so many of their plans but might as well make the best of it.

Dinner was finally served, a generous portion of hellhog liver, pulled pork, cold

cuts, and finally Sallie May's signature chocolate chip cookies. Moxxie would've hoped

there was some salad but he knew better to be vocal about it. 10 minutes didn't pass

when they heard a knock on the door. Millie answered it and behind a door was an imp

named Nomad. He introduced himself as a representative of Ignavus, the rancher

who's been causing Millie's so much trouble recently. He wore light combat armor, a

ski mask, and goggles covering his eyes. He had a calm and pleasant voice. Everyone except Moxxie took a liking to him. He explained that he understood their plight in

selling their land and said there was a new offer on the table. The land will be bought

but they will get to operate it and keep a sizable portion of the profits. As expected Joe

and Lin declined this offer immediately.

"I told him you'd say no, the imps of wrath take a lot of pride in their home and

work. Alright I won't push you folk any more. I'll see what I can do to convince my boss

to expand elsewhere." The rest of the night Millie's family asked Nomad many

questions, intrigued by his odd look and profession. Moxxie was visibly annoyed, did

they not learn anything with Striker?! Nomad then started asking questions about them.

The one that stuck out to Moxxie was Nomad asking Joe if they had any firearms.

"Well there's the double barrel that I use for hunting occasionally and the

revolvers that have been with our family for generations. But down here we use our

fists and blade for most of our kills. Firearms are a coward's weapon." Joe responded

with a hearty laugh and glancing at Moxxie.

"HA! Then I might as well be a coward. I love using guns but I know it will be

damn disrespectful to fight a imp from wrath and not use my knife or fists." Nomad

hollered out with a big grin. "Hey Moxxie, do you have any guns on you?" Nomad

asked.

"Well I have my two modified handguns I brought along with me. They're

nothing special but I've taken out more than enough targets with them both." Moxxie

responded in a gleeful tone. "They may be "fun" like a shotgun or chaotic like a RPG

but it's so satisfying getting a kill with a handgun.

"Yeah, nothing like using a revolver or pistol to do the job. You know you're

talking to a professional when they care for their weapons like you do." Nomad

responded. "Welp, I've taken enough of you folk's time. I must report back. Thank you

for this delicious meal." Nomad said and he backed away from the table and left.

After they said their goodbyes to Nomad and cleaned up, Moxxie finally started

getting ready for bed. Millie came in with a big box all wrapped up.

"Hun, I know our anniversary hasn't come up yet but I know this trip was going

to bum you out so I got you a little surprise. Open it up hun!" Millie hollered with

excitement. Moxxie opened up the present to find a glorious human made Dragunov

SVD. Moxxie's jaw fell right off seeing the wood work of this gun he read so much on.

"Millie, how did you get this?! You know human weapons are rare to obtain! This is perfect!" Moxxie exclaimed.

"Well let's just say Blitzo had to visit his boyfriend more than usual" Millie

responded. "Now there's some ammunition and magazines in there too. I was hoping

you and pa would go out hunting some time tomorrow. Now if you'll excuse me I have

to get ready for bed love." Millie exited the room leaving Moxxie to admire his gift.

Many hours passed until everyone in the home was awakened by gunfire.

Moxxie and Millie both woke up immediately. Millie grabbed her personal knife and

Moxxie grabbed his hand guns and new sniper. They made their way into the hallway,

meeting up with the family. Before anything can be said between them, they heard a

voice over a megaphone.

"Ya damn hicks should've taken my final offer! Now I have to make an example

out of the lot of ya!" exclaimed the voice. Joe and Lin identified the voice of Ignavus,

that damn rancher causing this trouble. While the family was discussing plans to stand

up for themselves, Moxxie volunteered to go to the roof to see how many potential

attackers there were. Moxxie was surprised to hear murmurs of agreement. After

getting a good luck kiss from Millie. Moxxie got to the roof using the attic. Moxxie

looked through the scope of his new sniper and looked at the landscape. He could see

Ignavus with at least 15 imps including Nomad. It looks like they're all armed with

either pistols or smgs. Nomad is the only one with a unique weapon, a double barrel

shotgun, and it seems like he wants to mock Joe. Moxxie could see Ignavus and Nomad

talking to each other. Finally he saw Nomad waving his wands and sees the imps

scatter about. Five approach the front slowly, the next five seem to be approaching the

back slowly, the rest stick with Ignavus and Nomad. Moxxie decides to take his shot at

Nomad who seems to be the most dangerous. He takes a deep breath and aims carefully

through the scope and fires. The bullet pierces two imps who got in the way last and

strikes Nomad straight in the shoulder. Return fire quickly followed but Moxxie quickly

went back into the house to report back.

"There's 15 imps including Ignavus and Nomad. I saw five approaching the

front, five approaching the back, five staying with Ignavus and Nomad. All of them

except Nomad seem to be lightly armed. I took out 2 of the imps staying behind and

Nomad seems to have been shot." Moxxie reported to Millie and her family. Joe and Lin pondered for a second and finally responded.

"Sallie, you and Millie will guard the back. You use that lasso to good use, Millie

I need you to drive those damn bastards back so use those ol throwing knives you used

to play with. Your mother will use the revolvers to keep the front guarded. Moxxie and

I will use the basement to get outside and flank them at both sides. Moxxie will flank

the front and I'll flank the back." The women nodded their heads, and left to get their

weapons to defend their weapons. Moxxie was surprised that Joe was so trusting with

him. Moxxie followed Joe to the basement where the shotgun was kept. After Joe armed

the gun he gave Moxxie one last piece of instructions. "Moxxie I want you to kill as

many of those bastards as you can but don't you go dying on me, you mean too much

to my baby" Joe said. Before Moxxie could respond Joe pushed him out the basement

and got to his position. Moxxie took a deep breath and crept to some bushes to the front

of the house. It seems the imps who were with Nomad and Ignavus are now joining the

raid at the front. Moxxie went behind one of their trucks to scan the environment. He

can see Nomad getting patched up by Ignavus and has at least one imp guarding them

both now. Moxxie saw the imps positioned, one imp facing the front door, two by the

side of the door, the rest waiting by the steps. Moxxie couldn't hear what was being

said but he could identify they were bickering; these "hitmen" weren't united in the

slightest. Faster than one can say "Oh Millie", Moxxie got out of cover, raised his two

pistols and started shooting randomly. He wasn't planning on being precise, he needed

the imps to panic, he needed them to storm the front without any plans so that Lin can

finish the job. Moxxie was running as he emptied his magazines into the front of the

home. He can see the imps scattering about, some of them stormed the front, some got

hit by his storm of bullets, the others stayed to return fire, and the rest were retreating

back to Nomad and Ignavus. Moxxie was lucky that the imps concentrated fire on the

truck and not where he was firing. Moxxie got to a nearby barn and quickly got his

Dragunov to see the situation. He could see Nomad slowly approaching the imps.

...

Lin was behind the couch when she saw two imps screaming and shooting

behind. She knew that it had to have been Moxxie who was behind the gunfire. She got

up from her cover and shot twice. Both bullets penetrated the skulls of the imps. Their

blood stains the walls. Before she could get into cover once again. Two more imps

stormed the front door, they quickly spotted her and got behind some furniture. Lin

saw one of the imps stay behind a chair. She shot it two times and heard a body slump

to the ground. The other imp peeked and received a bullet straight in between the eyes.
