A single locust-like creature hops past bakeries. It rubs its hands together as it views the fresh loaves of bread, the muffins and of course, the cakes. It spots what it wants. A freshly made cake, frosting and all, but with no name.

The shopkeeper is set into a panic as the large insect uses its hands to hold the delicacy and jump into the void of BLUE HELL.

The locust gingerly crawls over the festering masses of its sisters that coat the floor, until it reaches the BLUE DEVIL.

"XoXo! ?????!! The cake has arrived! ?????!, how are you enjoying the birthday party that papa has set up for you? =P"

The brutish abomination shifts around, wrestling its own heavy skin to face the pastry.

"Outdone yourself, father... I-I am, excited for a name."

"Be still, brother-" The beast rests a large, fleshy paw onto XoXo's form. It completely flattens him against the floor.

The hybrid sits at their feet, like a hound, its body too heavy to support lumbering itself around. She lifts a finger and releases XoXo.
"Random gamer name generator! You are assigned the following name: STARFALL, GOBLET OF BROKEN FAMILIES."
"XoXo, what would you name your sister? =P"
"HP Officejet Pro 9015."
"Oh-oohh or Deborah."
"CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR NAME IS BROKEN HP OFFICEJET.

"DEBORAH THE BROKEN JET, FINAL OFFER. =P"
"I will be your Deborah." She beams.
"HHHH-HHHUZZAH!" XoXo throws out confetti. It is also 2D and is now engrained into the floor. "Wwww Welcome to the FFfam- Fam- Family, DEBORAH THE BROKEN JET. Love you, Love you Sissy love you."
"By the accursed stars, tt-thank you. For cake. For my title, Father! Horrid be the gods, but I am thankful ffor this grace."
"Aand you too. Xoxo."

She inhales, slowly. Her eyes (but mostly, her teeth) sparkle. "T-THE BUCKET...."

"Yes, yes! But remember. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE! There's FREAKS and WEIRDOS waiting to do who knows what! Anyway, I am also giving you the bucket so you can do a little grocery shopping for me. YOU KNOW WHAT A GROCERY IS, RIGHT? =P"
"I will learn what a grocery is. Become iit, if I need to. Cast no doubt on us, father, we have been awaiting the day we may carry out this shopping for you. Together."
"Shopp- shop, shop shop~" ...XoXo does a lil jig. "ShopPInngg Forrr Papaaaa..."

"Take this special locust." Unlike the others, the locust is mechanical. "IT CONTAINS ME WITHIN IT. SO, DON'T DROP IT. PLEASE. But if you do drop it, I forgive you, because you're both so perfect. =P"
"YYYou can COUNT ON US." Xoxo stops dancing and.. reaches out from the floor, and Peels themself off of it...
"It is done, father."
The beast lumbers close to the locust, retrieving it with the fragile, skeletal arms she keeps tucked close to her body.
"XxxoXo, remember... you may not touch. No touching. Nno touching."

She wraps loose skin back around it, protecting the fragile body and mechanical locust safe underneath.
"No touch."
[Undertale OST - But Nobody Came Extended]
As the locust is taken, the joyful songs of the others stop. Each one stands still and the BLUE DEVIL disappears.

A deafening sense of emptiness festers in BLUE HELL without its DEVIL to brighten it up.

"N-NO TIME TO LOSE LETS GGGggggggggg-" Don't touch. XoXo's hands tremble as he forces himself to stop, and simply lays his form onto his Sister's side.

"Cc. Carry me."
"Yes... up, brother. We must make haste."

She allows XoXo's body to lay flat against her own, hidden in the shadows cast by her hulking frame. She retrieves the bucket and ventures forth, into the darkness.

"I-I will then... Use the bucket, to..." Deborah looks around for the door. Some force is required...
"WWW-WEEE GO. WE GO!!!" XoXo enthusiastically reaches out into the dark from Deborah as well.
After clumsily positioning the bucket against the door, Deborah uses her entire bodyweight to force the bucket through the frame.

The two are instantly transported into the outskirts of a city. The locust chirps under the skin of Deborah the Broken Jet. Acting as a detector of sorts, it chirps more rapidly the closer they get to their goal. The "fridge."

Broken machine parts litter the edges of a pond. Construction workers pull out hunks of metal, but one catches the eye of the duo.

A pod is like a fridge. Right?

It is set aside as unsalvageable, away from the prying eyes of the workers.

Deborah the Broken Jet lumbers, close to the ground.

"That is the target, our Father has tasked us with. Our 'groceries'... Xo, ddo you see a rabbit, anywhere?"
"MmhhH-HhhmM the Fridge.." Xoxo slides off of Deborah. Being the less conspicuous of the two, he starts approaching the area a little closer to get a better look at the pod, scrawled across surfaces.

A soft sob comes from inside the pod. The window allows viewing at the creature in inside. It wasn't a rabbit......... But it is close enough.
Deborah tails closely behind, with little intent to not be seen. That is her goal. That belongs to her father.
"RAAAaaaa aa rabbit ᕱᕱ !" XoXo stifles a giggle and gestures for his Sister to come.
She grips the hull of the pod, unfolding the flesh that had protected her ribcage, and thus, the Locust.

"This?"
The locust cannot speak with its limited capabilities, but it sings a tune of approval and love for its children.

"Kree! <3"
"Hhguehehehe..."
"A-accursed be, father!~" She beams, maw pulled back into a toothy grin.
"RrrABbbit Rabbit meat for papa BBbBBlluuee!!" XoXo sticks himself onto the surface of the pod and races around on it. "What- What now What now what NOW?"
"Nnh- out. Out! We must pry it out, for father."
"Open it. Open open open open open." He rakes his claws across the old claw marks on the outside of the Pod...
Debby's foretalons dig into the hull of pod, and attempt to peel away the metal surrounding her prize.
The pod that was supposed to contain the dragon of death for 10,000 years is ripped open like a tin can. The seal was meant to protect from anomalous forces, but those powers seen in the BLUE were their own special brand of HELL.

It takes the "rabbit" a moment to realize that escape had come for it. It shuffles to turn towards freedom, only to see the face of XoXo.

"Buuuuuckingham?"

This was just the distraction the BLUE DEVIL needed.

"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX." XoXo waves back to O-11, ecstatic to meet them in spite of not knowing who or what they are.
The abomination grimaces, the metal enforcement shredded as if it were paper.
"HhhHello, rabbit."
He would have killed them. But he could sense a familiarity from the two. Had Buckingham come to save him from his torment? He didn't have time to finish his thought.

The locust jumps into the hole in the face of the rabbit. O-11 reaches inside his face, confused for a moment before there's a spark of electricity, a bright light, and soon, the BLUE.

More locusts, organic this time, pour out of the hole in O-11's face. There's a chuckle from within the body of the rabbit, but it's not of O-11.
