==Synopsis==
:IMP MISSION: WEEABOO-BOO
==Plot==
Blitzo is hiding in the bushes on a mission to assassinate a target; during which he's on the phone with Millie, who he thinks is trying to get out of watching a musical with Moxxie.
Upon seeing her parents distracted, Blitzo enters the target's room and tries to kill her, only to blocked by a pendant she is wearing; merch from an anime she enjoyed that reportedly "protects them from demons".
The target, Emberlynn Pinkle, after realizing Blitzo is a demon, begins to lust after him, much to Blitzo's annoyance. It turns out Emberlynn is a weeaboo and hyperfixated on sexual relations involving demons and monsters. After she acts out the current situation like a fanfiction, Blitzo gets her to remove her necklace with his knife in order to "meet him on the other side". He then stabs her dead as she moans sexually, much to Blitzo's disgust as he promptly leaves.
Back in Hell, Blitzo is at the I.M.P Headquarters, on the phone with the client to let them know the target is dead. Blitzo then hears a yell of "BLITZY-KUN~!", and is visibly disturbed to see Emberlynn, now as a sinner demon, who explains that she saw one of his billboards and tracked him down to "be by his side forever".

*What she writes on her computer while ranting about a scenario involving her, Blitzo, and Blitzo's make-believe wife, reads:"The mysterious demon snarled in defiance before Satan. Heat radiated off of him and his glowing eyes blazed with fury. As my demon lover took a stand against his Lord, I felt my love for him burn even hotter than the fiery depths of Hell."I won't let you have her," my demon hissed with a mutinous glare. "You took my wife from me, Satan. Never again! Emberlynn Light'ness Demoanya Pinkle is mine."Satan growled, baring his sharp fangs. My knees trembled at the staggering size of them. He was so close that I could feel his hot breath on my skin, which was exposed as a result of my sacrificial outfit (Satan's concubines are forced to wear lace bras, leather miniskirts, combat boots, eyeliner, and a smokey eyeshadow look. Also black lipstick. Also I was wearing fishnets.)"You dare defy me?" Satan roared, his hulking body towering above us. "Hand over the sexual sacrifice so I may have my way with her.""No!" I cried, throwing my arms around my demon lover. "Please don't let him ravish me over and over! My body belongs to you!""She's mine to ravish over and over!" my demon declared, holding me close."
