Hazbin Hotel: Eternal Doom

by TheWubbzler

The Doom Slayer Returns to a Hell and spends the Night at the Hazbin Hotel, he also meets one Helluva Boss. (This is literally the first story I did for this site so let me know if I messed up or if I'm following the guidelines, I do have an overall story planned for this and even a Sequel idea that will be a stand alone.)

10. Investigating the Apparent Normal

Phase 10 Investigating the Apparent Normal

(The Teenagers who were saved by the Slayer Yesterday walk through a hall of apartment doors, they counted the numbers as they passed them one by one until they finally stopped at their destination.)

Vi:"Alright, this is it! If my hunch is right-and they usually are-this place should be where that old dude with the shrine lives."

Octavia:"You really think he'll hear us out?"

(Octavia asked as Vi knocked on the door with the rusty knocker, A shotgun blasted through the part of the door where the door knocker was, leaving a huge riddled hole where it used to be. It missed both of the girls due to the fact that they were standing to the sides of the door before the trap was sprung.)

Vi:"Nnnnope."

?:"Who's there!? Have you come to kill me?!"

Octavia:"Calm down we just wanna talk about that statue of soap you made for this big dude we met."

?:"How do I know you aren't Demons!?"

Vi:"We ARE Demons though."

?:"Noooo. I mean, How do I know you aren't his enemies!?"

Octavia:"Because we took a selfie with him."

(Octavia said as she pulled up her phone and held it towards the torn hole in the door, a yellowish eye peers through it and devotes its gaze to the small device, the picture proved it all, they knew him as a friend or at the very least an acquaintance. The Eye disappeared from the hole as several locks were heard tumbling and changing from the other side of the door. After over a solid minute of unlocking the door, it swung open to reveal an old Demon that looked like a Bull man wearing a cloak. He gestured the girls in with a sense of urgency as he walked around with a cane and constantly muttered to himself as he moved, he shut the door once the two teens were inside and he locked it all up once again before heading to a small chair and sitting at it as he questioned the two.)

Oldguy:"So…You met the Slayer and Lived to tell the tale? Was his presence as Divine as I had imagined?"

(The Old man said as he closed his eyes and tried to imagine the Slayer in all his glory, the girls Looked at each other in confusion before refocusing their attention to the old man and explained.)

Vi:"We just took a selfie with him man?"

Octavia:"Honestly, he just saved me and my Dad and I wanna know more about him."

(The Old man sneered and snorted at their claim, he then leaned his hand down to the shotgun he kept closeby before asking yet another question about the girls.)

Crazy old guy:"If you are not his enemies, then prove it! What is the motto of the Night Sentinels!?"

Vi:"The what of the what?!"

Octavia:"The guy doesn't even talk, what motto could he possibly use?"

(The Old man's eyes widened as he realized that the girls had no knowledge of the Slayer prior to his arrival or encounter. He then moved his hand away from the weapon and stood as he began to walk towards them. He asked in his raspy voice "You have no idea who he is do you?" as he leaned towards the girls, who shook their heads confirming his suspicion. He then walked by them as he told them "Sit down, I made some cookies. I will tell you what little I do know about this Titan and the legend his footprints wrote." as he left the room into what seemed like a kitchen area. Vi's eyes widened with concern as she turned her attention back to the locked door, she stared at it as she asked "They aren't drugged or nothing, are they?" in a semi-loud tone to help carry the speech across the short distance of rooms. The Old man simply leaned out of his kitchen as he asked her "Do you want them drugged? Because I made a batch of pot brownies." prompting Octavia to smile and Vi to calm her nerves, Octavia accepted the offer for both of them as the old man returned and plates and platter clinked together. Octavia seized the opportunity to ask questions when she said "So…You know a lot about this Doom guy, How come?" to which she is answered by the old man who walks out with a plate full of brownies and cookies, he explains as he approaches his seat "A while ago, a man like any other fell to this Dimensional prison after facing off against Demons from another Hell. He had difficulty adapting but not when it came to conflict, he thrived from it actually, it was the living that he struggled with. I know this because I came across a man from a long and forgotten place. He claimed the Slayer to have arrived in his dimension not that long after ours and he rose to slay the invading Demons during their attacks." he continued after he sat down in his chair and left the plate of goods on a table between him and the curious teens. Octavia took a bite of the brownies as she said with a full mouth "What place was it?" as her friend picked up a cookie and enjoyed her snack too. The Old man was still, as if he was about to hear the worst news of his life, he finally uttered under a whispered breath…"Taras Nabad" as the whole room was silent. The Old man explained the name and its importance as he continued the story "A place belonging to an elite race of Humans called the Night Sentinels, one day and Outlander came upon their empire and was put to be judged like all prisoners of theirs, the Outlander won this fight as he screamed about Demons and Huge Guts…Not long after, the Demons invaded this dimension and while they managed to fend them off, they eventually were consumed by these Nightmarish abominations…Meanwhile, the Outlander was blessed by a powerful angel in the hopes of repelling these attacks. It worked, the man was deemed the Doom Slayer and was a nightmare to those who consume worlds…Taras Nabad may be no more, but the echoes of the Slayer's triumphs are as eternal as he is." The Old man says each part with a grandiose tone and with aided emphasis from his arms. The teens were leaning in, hanging on to every word this lunatic urged with his voice and hands, Old man eventually explained their question as he told them "The Man who came here and told me this was a Night Sentinel Himself, he claimed to be named Valen and demanded I call him by the title his brethren gave him…The Betrayer. He left long ago in search of a place he could rot for the rest of eternity…But he told me about a flower that the Slayer fell for…A woman with golden hair and rosy cheeks…Sound familiar?" The Old man said as he pulled up a remote and turned on the TV, on it was Charlie as she was being interviewed about the mysterious hero that news spoke of earlier. Vi and Octavia noticed this and looked at each other with a smile, they knew why the Old man brought up this woman and even explained it himself as he commented "This Woman has the answers you seek, The Betrayer is gone but she is still here. The Slayer has not spoken for a long time, so don't expect him to give you any answers so soon…" The girls get up from wherever they sat and began to leave the room, but before they reached the door, Vi stopped herself and turned as she thanked the Old man while she also asked the following "Thanks for the help man…Hey, If you don't mind me asking one more thing though…What's with the shrine?" The old man smiled as he answered this personal question while he stood and slowly approached the girls "If you wish to know why I see the Slayer in such a grand light…It's because of this…" To which the Old man pulled out a phone and played a video as the girls watched it with wide eyes and shock. Once the video had stopped playing, Octavia smiled and turned to her friend as she stated "Well, shit just got real…Let's go see what blondie knows and show her this, I can imagine she's got something to tell us about it."

[Meanwhile…]

(The Slithering Queen-pin known as Anella sits at a cozy coffee shop sipping whatever brew she ordered from the Barista. She enjoys the warmth the beverage provides and notices a demented looking bird fluttering around, she holds out a finger and waits patiently for the thing to come to her, eventually she whistles to gain the Avian's attention and it begins to flap its way towards her. It gently lands on her finger as she studies it further, she then whispers to it as its eyes begin to glow red and its beak grows sharp jagged teeth. She then releases it and gestures her head to incite it to attack someone, all the while Alastor is walking towards the Queen-pin with his usual smile and short chuckle.)

Alastor:"Now THAT'S Entertainment!"

Anella:"Alastor, How's it been darling?"

Alastor:"Too long my sweet Anella, Too long… How're things for you?"

(Alastor says as he sits at the small circle table she was stationed at.)

Anella:"Well I have concerns that an old friend of ours has come to visit."

Alastor:"The Babbling lunatic Marine who slays all in his wake? I actually ran into him whilst visiting that little pet project of mine."

Anella:"Really? Well thanks for telling me about his presence, I would've LOVED to know whether or not I should worry about those who sought new lives here."

Alastor:"No life matters but our own, isn't that what our old boss used to say?"

Anella:"He also said trust no one, only yourself…Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Could've sworn I lost his trail in Nekroval but as expected, the lunatic finds his prey. I guess he is inevitable as he sees himself as, doubt anyone from our armada survived that maniac except you and me."

Alastor:"Only name that I personally know that is an exception is Sullivan…Speaking of, did you know Sullivan is also hiding out in one of the more intact versions of Hell too?"

Anella:"Really!? I thought he stared down the Slayer?"

Alastor:"He did, but I guess you could say he saw a side he'd never expect to see from him…Thus he let him run from the Satanic empire."

Anella:"If only it were that easy for us! Can you imagine the number of dimensions we'd get to avoid running through just to lose his trail on us?"

Alastor:"I wouldn't know…I let him out of his prison back in Argent D'nur!"

Anella:"REALLY!? I guess that explains why he didn't splatter your brains on the statues like he did Mephestos and Bittle."

Alastor:"Ahh…I never DID tell you the story of how I left the cause and ran to this dimension, did I?"

(Anella smiles as she sips her coffee, she then leans to Alastor.)

Anella:"…Dish it, how'd it go down?"

(Alastor smiles as he remembers his encounter with the Marine before he became the Legend he is known as.)

*Several Years ago…

*Location: In another Hell…

?A?:"Why is he keeping him alive?!"

?B?:"Don't know, don't care, fucker should be burnt to ashes by now!"

?C?:"So you want to go tell the boss that you torched this dude or…?"

?B?:"No, But God Dammit, WHY are we keeping the biggest pain in the ass we've had alive…All we'd have to do is snap his neck and call it a day."

?A?:"Well regardless of what WE would've done, Boss man says he's valuable."

?B?:"For what purpose?"

?A?:"Hold on, let me go ask the Devil to let me in on his plan-The fuck you asking me for?! Do I LOOK like I know half of what the lunatic ideas are and why?"

?B?:"I was hoping you'd illuminate a theory, not bitch about the lack of foresight you had."

?C?:"Maybe it's a martyr situation? I mean think about it, The Icon's death has caused the biggest problem the Abyss has ever faced down here. We have GENERALS rebelling against our empire, Mazikeen, Sullivan, Sparda, Terror, We're losing more and more of our Legion by the minute. Killing him wouldn't fix or cement anything, probably only make it worse."

?B?:"Not to mention he'd be given a chance of a demonic form, remember what Bossman said? Any Human Soul that ends up down here has a chance to evolve and grow to its wishes, if he ended up down here then we'd be in some serious shit. Can't even imagine what he'd do if he got the chance to go upstairs instead, him reaching the Ether alone gives him an advantage we can't risk."

(A loud rumble grabs the Demons' collective attention as dust falls from the ceremonial stone ceiling, they look at one another before they begin to rush out of the room. But just as the last one is exiting the chamber, he tilts his back and says "Alastor, stay behind and watch the prisoner!" as he fled the room, leaving an ominous presence with the Marine.

Out from the corner, two red lights shined and rotated slightly, almost as if they were the eyes of a beast. This was proven true when something began to emerge from the shadow and approach the restrained Hero.

A horrific Wendigo looking Demon, it had blood red fur all over its body with pitch black antlers on its head, his eyes were nothing more than empty black sockets where the organs should be. His hands were outstretched like that of a starving cannibal, each finger tipped with a long bone claw that glowed bright red at his will. His teeth were crooked and wired together so they were incapable of movement and his chest was just a beast's body with more blood fur and bones that appear to mimic ribs sticking out of his chest. Though funnily enough, within his rib cage there was a big old companion radio box that was designed in a particular way, it made it seem as though its design was to mimic a suit and tie.

The Demonic Deer leaned in close enough to grab the attention of the Marine, the Slayer eventually looked up from his shackles and stared face-to-face with the Wendigo as he muttered.)

Doomguy:"What the hell are YOU looking at?"

Alastor:"(Static)…A Curiosity…(Static)…You spared Sullivan, the Duke Demon…Why?…"

Doomguy:"Because I felt like it…Now fuck off…"

Alastor:"(Static) Oh…(Static) But there's another reason…(Static)…Isn't there…(Static)?"

Doomguy:"Because unlike the rest of you Unholy Bastards, I don't torture people who don't deserve it."

Alastor:"(Static) And how do you know he was so innocent, he consumed worlds like the rest of us…Destroyed empires for the entertainment of it…And even killed an immeasurable amount of Gods and Spirits during his reign of power…What REALLY triggered your little act of mercy?…"

Doomguy:"…A kid…I saw him save a child…He was falling off a building and I saw him swoop in and save him…like he was instinctually protecting his own boy…After I fought and cripple him, I asked him why he did it, then he told me about how he wanted to be a father before he died and joined the legion…I knew he didn't want to keep doing this forever…so I gave him a choice…Leave and try to make a new life…Or deal with whoever the enemies of Hell are…"

Alastor:"But that wasn't a one time deal…Was it…Sparta left and married a mortal Woman, Mazikeen left to enjoy her time in an Earth Dimension and even that One eyed bastard allied with you…You never did this before…show empathy to the Demons…What convinced you that we deserve this chance?…"

(The Marine glared for a while as he pondered his response, he finally stated "…Because of a Dynamite girl…" Alastor chuckles at this explanation but before he could mock him for changing his ways for some attractive broad, The Soon-to-be-Slayer spoke once more and asked "… I saw you…You saved that woman…why?…" Alastor tilted his head in curiosity as he himself considered his next choice of words, he finally spoke.)

Alastor:"That fine dame with the snow white hair? I have my reasons…"

Doomguy:"No…I saw it in your sockets when you slaughtered that brute that was about to smash her into giblets, I can tell it wasn't a spur of the moment…So why'd you save her? Figured you'd get a kick out of watching someone be torn limb from bloody limb."

Alastor:"…There's an etiquette to everything my violent friend, even when it's something as deplorable as torture and cannibalism-"

Doomguy:"Bullshit!…I can tell when someone has a conscience…"

Alastor:"…Well… If you really DO think I'm so capable of redemption…Then I'll cut you a deal, I enjoy a good amount of torture and spending the time I have in this prison…It dulls it, it's not as spontaneous as it used to be…watching people scream like they're praying for someone to save them…The disappointment in their eyes as they approach death…Watching their souls wither and rot as they become one with their demonic selves…Here…It's already happened…It's…Boring, When you see the result, not the process…"

Doomguy:"And that's supposed to convince me?"

Alastor:"No…It's to explain what I want from this deal…I want to leave this place…I want to find a place more…virgin-esque to my sort of taste. I let you out of these chains…You do whatever you please to my colleagues…They aren't as interesting as when we first met…So you can understand my apathy towards their fate… I set you free and you can do whatever you want to whatever Demon you find…Except for yours truly of course, now once we're out of this pocket of Hell, you can hunt me down if you want…I guarantee you won't find me though…"

Doomguy:"Is that a challenge?"

Alastor:"It's an offer…But only YOU can make it a deal…So what'd ya say?…"

(Alastor held out his hand as it blazed green flames, the sudden combustion was practically numb to the Demonic Warlord and his reactions showed his pain tolerance. The Marine stared at this offer for a few seconds…Then ripped his hand from his now broken chains and gripped the Radio-Demon's offered hand…He squeezed and shook it as he leaned in and said with a grim smile…"Deal"…Alastor's skull grew cracks behind his teeth, the whole thing broke and cracked as it reformed to match the unnatural smile Alastor was expressing internally. After their hands released, Alastor used his now free hand to snap his fingers as the chains began to rust and break. The Slayer dropped to the floor and smiled as he rushed past Alastor and towards the main hall where the Demons were located.)

*Cuts to the present with Alastor and Anella

Anella:"So how'd you end up here but nearly a century ago?"

Alastor:"You know as well as I do that Hell obeys reality less and less the lower you go, all I had to do was find a place where time flowed backwards, walk a few miles and huzza! Here we are."

Anella:"I guess I should've been specific, WHY did you go to the era that you did?"

Alastor:"I wanted to make sure the ground was untouched and blend in with my original time of death, besides…I always did have a feeling in the back of my mind that he would hunt me someday, I guess I just wanted a head start on some fun before he finally found me."

Anella:"The bloodbath that followed was quite intense…It seems fitting for the type of entertainment you aim for."

Alastor:"Ironically enough that's where YOU come in my dear…He's here for something, I refuse to wait and see if his reason for being here is to either catch up with old friends…Or because he remembered where our bargain ended…I wish to rid of him before he shows me which."

Anella:"Why not just kill him?…"

(The two stare at each other for a solid five seconds until they both burst out laughing at the sentence that was uttered.)

Anella:"You have NO idea how hard it was to keep a straight face through that!"

Alastor:"Oh, that's funny, you're funny…but…all joking aside… I am serious about this situation…I must have him out of the picture before he decides to have a heart-to-heart with my entrails."

Anella:"Alastor…You're asking me to try and execute the man who took down the Icon of Sin, the very cataclysm that triggered the Hell uprising…I don't know what you think I could possibly do…"

Alastor:"C'mon Anella…You are the Queen-pin of the Slums! People fear your name and the sound of rattling snakes…If anyone can stop him…It's you…"

Anella:"…Hmmm…So what's the real reason?"

Alastor:"Haha, I already know you're trying something, a fly couldn't fart without you knowing so I know you were aware of his presence from the start. But what I REALLY wanna know is what your plan is to get rid of him? Whether it works or not is irrelevant, the reason I wish to join on this escapade is because…Well…if he did come all this way just to torture us and send us back into that Abyss…I'd rather experience those last few moments doing something with a friend than doing nothing alone…So what'dya say?"

(Alastor says holding out his green flaming hand, Anella stared at it for a moment in consideration of her situation and Alastor's, she then laid her hand gently into Alastor's ask she explained further.)

Anella:"I managed to steal a book from a bunch of Imps, Scrub has been summoning the lower Demons for a whole day now to dispose of our problem."

Alastor:"Oh, that won't cut it my dear, you can't beat that man with brute force. You need to strip away his reasons for staying here…more accurately…you need to take away his friends."

*(Alastor says this as we cut back to Charlie talking to Lucifer)

Lucifer:"So I guess you all have it under control for now, but if you need ANYTHING, just let your old man know my little Charmander."

Charlie:"I will dad, thanks for stopping by…Tell mom I said hi!"

(Charlie says nervously at first but shouts the last message as she waves goodbye to her father, he enters his limousine parked in front of the hotel and leaves for his own reasons. As the stretched vehicle starts up, Lucifer opens the window and leans out as he simply tells the Slayer "If you wanna chat, catch up or even play a ball game…I'm here for ya son." as the window rolls back up and begins to drive away. As it sped along, Charlie raised her hands to amplify her voice to reach the speeding vehicle and shouted "Love you" as it drove on down the road.

As the car finally left the perceivable vision of the princess, she turned back to find the Slayer and a few others already dressed and ready for their next mission. Vaggie and Moxxie were dressed in military fatigues while Blitzo had already left with Millie to get something for the trip. Charlie realizing that something was happening questioned Vaggie, but not before complimenting her on her appearance.)

Charlie:"Ah, you look really cute. Where're you guys going?"

(Vaggie blushes and brushes back her hair, she partly did it to stuff it into the military cap that accompanied the uniform.)

Vaggie:"Millie said the magnet we need is in an experimental laboratory, it's heavily guarded by military troops though."

Angel:"And we're SNEAKING in, instead of sending the Human McGuffin to clear it all out for us."

Vaggie:"Do YOU wanna tell him to kill anyone he doesn't need to?"

Angel:"I-…!"

(Angel stops himself and ponders for a moment as he glances his vision towards the Slayer on the other end of the room, he is modifying his chain-gun for this mission if any more Lower Demons appear. Angel notices this and remembers the inhumanly vast strength the Slayer had and decided to just respond with the following "Fuck you…" before crossing his arms in frustration, leaving Vaggie to smile in this small victory.)

Charlie:"Well…Just be safe, don't do anything rash and…don't do anything you guys don't need to…"

(Charlie says as Vaggie and the others were leaving the Hotel. This specific caution that she said had Vaggie curious, she turned around and said "What'd you mean? We only need the magnet and we're heading back RIGHT here once we get it." Charlie was still and silent, she didn't wish to confront her girlfriend about the incident on the news but she also didn't want any unnecessary deaths to happen, she opened her mouth to say something but a honk of a truck interrupted her and revealed itself to be a military convoy truck driven by Blitzo and shotgunned by Mille.)

Blitzo:"Let's go! I don't want the douche I stole this from to realize what happened until it's too late."

(Prompting The Slayer and the rest of his team to leave for the next location for the mission. Nifty, Husk and Charlie stay behind as they witnessed the group leave for the Military base.

As she turned back to head inside the Hotel and finish whatever work she had left to accomplish, but her attention was grabbed by a familiar voice who asked "Hey Blondie, you got a minute?" causing her to turn around and see who it was. It was Octavia and Vi, they both approached the princess who greeted them with a surprised tone "Oh, hey! You're Octavia right? Stolas' kid?" as she lifted her hand gently to gesture a hello. Octavia pulled out her phone as she replied "Yeah, if you don't mind though…What do you know about this guy?" She held up her phone to show Charlie the video which REALLY got her attention. Charlie was shocked that someone had footage of such a specific incident and tried to explain "I'm sorry, but he left just a minute ago. If you want though, I could-" Vi interrupts and explains "We already met him, it was you we wanted to chat with." as Husk walked by noticing the video. He was shocked by the footage nearly to the point of spitting out whatever he was drinking at the time…Nearly. He leaned in and blurted "Holy shit, is that guy beating up Exterminators?!" as he stared at the footage on the small device. It was clear as day, the Marine was wailing on the Exterminators with ease that it was barely a fight, more of a beatdown. Charlie tried to explain to the teens and Husk as to why the Slayer was beating up these Angelic Hunters, but as she tried to say "I know what it looks like, but there really isn't much to say, he was defending another Demon and-" Husk interrupts her and asks "Wai-wai-wai…Is that Sausage fingers in that video?" gesturing his feathering wing to the general direction of the Slayer. Charlie nodded and Husk just widened his eyes at this confirmation of the question, prompting Octavia, Husk and Vi to bombard Charlie with question after question about the incident, what led up to it and most importantly…What the Hell happened after. Charlie being overwhelmed by this rapid interview nearly panicked and shouted "LISTEN!…If you just let me explain…I'll tell you how…and why he beat the Exterminators."
