In addition to angels, there are also demons who dwell there, in order to further test the residents with temptations of sinful actions.

I didn’t take those life-risking jobs, some that would give you nightmares, just so I could fill my wallet. I did it so I could give whatever I could to you!

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27427990/chapters/67046974 Saving Blitzo]]'' is a WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss fanfic by ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/users/TalosLives/pseuds/TalosLives TalosLives]]'', inspired by the “Blitzo Is Kidnapped” Instagram event. It is available on ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13746913/1/Saving-Blitzo Fanfiction.net]]'' & ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27427990/chapters/67046974 AO3]]'' and is part of the Author’s ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/2047520 Salvation series.]]''

It was normal for Blitzo, the boss of I.M.P to disappear at times for a few days. Often it was because he was doing some crazy thing that usually involved trouble. So the employees of the company didn't pay much attention to it and only planned on yelling at him when he returned. However, nine days of not seeing their boss was starting to make the group worry that something had happened to him.

Those worries are founded when a call comes in with a simple sentence that changes everything: "I have your boss."
Has a sequel in the works, called Healing Blitzo, scheduled to release on April 17th.

He receives brutal beatdowns, has his horns & limbs broken, is cut, electrocuted, whipped, stabbed, and forced to humiliate himself for it to stop. And once he has outlived his usefulness, he’s subjective to mental torture in the form of the Nightmare Parasite.
* DeathBySecretIdentity: [[spoiler:Right before she’s killed by her former hooded ally, Natasha can figure out his identity, when he reveals his mark to her.]]
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When the story was originally published, Stella’s official name had not been revealed yet, and thus was referred to as Selena for most of the fanfic, as a placeholder. When Loo Loo Land was eventually released, the chapters were rewritten to include her canon name.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: While Blitzo may be greedy, cynical, and more than happy to kill most people, he turns down a job involving them burning down a hospital and the patients in there, after he and his team entertained the children there. Even shooting the client dead right there.
* Faceless: The unnamed, hooded figure working long aside [[spoiler:Natasha’s family]], is never given any kind of description other than wearing a hood and having a cursed mark.
* GasLeakCoverUp: Stolas and I.M.P. attempt to frame the attack on [[spoiler:Natasha’s manor and the death of her family]], as this. Lucifer sees right through it, however.
* Gilligan’sCut: Poor Moxxie has one in Chapter 7.
-->'''Moxxie:''' I don’t care! I am not going to go undercover!\\
''[Later]''\\
'''Moxxie:''' I can’t believe I’m going undercover.
* GoryDiscretionShot: Used when Loona utterly butchers one of the owl demons, attempting to escape with Blitzo.
* IAmAMonster: During his rant in the final chapter, admitting to all his failings and how he feels undeserving of love, Blitzo says this about himself.
* IHaveNoSon: [[spoiler:More of a case of, I have no wife/mother. Stolas and Octavia both disown Stella, after finding out about her involvement in Blitzo’s kidnapping and her family’s plans for Hell’s lower class.]]
* InTheHood: [[spoiler:The secret BigBad]], is constantly hidden beneath a hooded cloak, with very little description given to his appearance. He is not even named, throughout the first story.
* ImpersonationGambit: After finding and interrogating Vaax, the Imp hired to kidnap Blitzo, I.M.P. decides to disguise Moxxie as the assassin in an attempt to lure out his employers and capture them for info.
* LastChapterNewCharacter: The final chapter of the fanfic, features an appearance from Lucifer and a cameo from Angel Dust, both of whom look to become more prominent in the coming sequels.
* LockAndLoadMontage: I.M.P. & Stolas have one before they and the prince’s army start their attack on Natasha’s mansion, complete with them picking weapons and a rousing speech from Stolas.
* LostLenore: Chapter 13 reveals that [[spoiler:Blitzo had a wife before founding I.M.P. and meeting Loona, in the form of a lizard demon named Zella, before she was killed.]]
* MindRape: Blitzo eventually becomes the victim of a nightmare parasite, a worm-like creature that latches onto a victim’s brain, and puts them into a comatose-state, while their worst fears, past mistakes, and hidden thoughts are played out in their mind on loop until the victim dies. While Blitzo survives the ordeal, the experience leaves him traumatized and broken, as he’s forced to watch his loved ones die or abandon him, all the while calling him out for his selfish behaviour and failings.
* MistakenIdentity: On their way home, from a cancelled hit at a hospital, Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie are mistaken for a group of clowns, hired to entertain the children at the hospital wing. Luckily, Blitzo’s circus days come in handy as they’re able to amaze the children and leave without getting caught.
* MythologyGag: In chapter 3, in the AO3 version, everyone gets their first lead to Blitzo’s kidnappers, [[https://pm1.narvii.com/7679/a9b5b7eaef486e7b7fcdcaed31a344669655c963r1-720-1560v2_00.jpg with a photo from his Voxagram account, of a disguised imp photobombing him.]] This is the same picture of Blitzo’s Instagram account, which was the start of the Blitzo is Kidnapped event.
* OffWithHisHead: Stolas kills [[spoiler:Alexander]] this way, after [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice stabbing him with his spear.]]
* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: Blitzo gets several while being mind raped by the nightmare parasite, though the most scathing comes from a mental doppelganger of himself.
-->'''Blitzo:''' N-no! Stop! You can’t!\\
'''Fake Blitzo:''' Why not? Didn’t we swear we were going to do whatever it takes? To not give a fuck about anyone or anything else? Didn’t it feel great just finally killing them all and getting drunk afterward? Don’t you remember it?\\
'''Blitzo:''' No! I never wanted to remember it! “You have to stop!”!\\
'''Fake Blitzo:''' I can’t because this is what you wanted. Don’t be such a pussy. It’s not like you really care about them, or anyone. You don’t care about anyone anymore. You numbed yourself so you couldn’t feel that pain ever again. You love nobody but yourself. That was what you promised afterward, wasn’t it? Let’s count your so-called family? Loona? She’s just a pretend daughter for something you’ll never have in real life. That spineless shrimp, Moxxie? He’s a weak, pathetic loser who reminds you of your former self, so you just kick him around because it feels good hurting him, doesn’t it? That psycho lapdog Millie? The only reason you keep that crazy bitch is that she’s good at killing and says yes to you like a good little bitch. That rich asshole, Stolas? The only reason you’re fucking Stolas is that you just need his book, and you know that deep down, there is no future for you two.\\
'''Blitzo:''' N-no! That’s not true! They’re my-\\
'''Fake Blitzo:''' Your family died years ago, Blitzo. Getting it through you’re fucking thick skull. No amount of pretending your employees are family is going to change that. It’s not like you’re a good ‘family man’ yourself. You don’t care about any of them for who they are or what they want in life. You just care that they give you the satisfaction of a fake family because that’s what you are. A fake pathetic wannabe who's just good at killing people because that’s all you’ve ever done in your life. From the moment you were born and killed your mother, you’ve always been a cursed soul.
* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptaion: Played with. While Loona is still Blitzo’s adopted daughter, here she was adopted as an infant, rather than as a young adult.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Millie goes on one in chapter 8, after Moxxie is shot while impersonating an imp assassin. Luckily he survives, as the mask he wore, protected him from the bullet.
* RousingSpeech: Prince Stolas delivers one to his private army and the rest of I.M.P. before they storm Natasha’s home.
* ShoutOut: Before the story, Moxxie had a near-death experience, while delivering a package for Blitzo to Stolas. During his delivery, the Extermination started early with Moxxie ending up being attacked and nearly killed by an exorcist. A very clear reference to [[https://twitter.com/maxx_tp/status/1255311007922229250 Maxx TP’s short webcomic, with the same premise in which Moxxie is killed during this.]]
* TortureIsIneffective: Despite Blitzo being put through the wringer both physically and mentally, it is not enough for him to reveal the location of the Grimoire to his captors.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler:Natasha & Alexander’s]] ultimate plan, is to use Stolas’ Grimoire to cast a spell that will suck all the lower class citizens of Hell, subsequently killing them all, and thus ridding it of the overpopulation problem and the Exterminations.
* WhamLine: In Chapter 8, we finally learned who hired Blitzo’s kidnapping.
-->'''Stolas''' [[spoiler:Octavia]]...I’m so sorry...I’m so so sorry...\\
'''[[spoiler:Octavia:''' D-Dad? W-Who...who is...”]]\\
'''Stolas:''' [[spoiler: “...It’s Stella...It’s...your mother.”]]
* YourAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: The first story ends with I.M.P. and Stolas giving one to Blitzo, after he breaks down in front of them, reassuring him that despite his past mistakes and what he thinks of himself, they still love him and will never abandon him.
