The rest of the hazbins knew this day was coming. Charlie, Alastor, Vaggie, Husk and Vox stood outside, waiting for Michael.
He came down, greeting them, still wearing his mask,"Hello again, it's been a long while. I look forward to this day of the year. Because the thought impossible was proven wrong, by you my niece."
"Thanks Uncle. I didn't think I could do it for a while, but now that it's certain, I'm happier that it worked…"
"And as a result, I should take those that are deemed worthy." The angel turned, looking expectantly,"Vagatha Flores, Hank Sullivan, it's time to go."
Vaggie and Husk looked up, both expectantly. They knew this day was coming and they had prepared themselves both mentally and physically, even if it hurt. It was time to free themselves, and while it was a rough start, the big leagues were ahead of them.
"Guess this goodbye." Vaggie gave Charlie a sombre look and hugged her."I'm glad I could be with you up to this day, Charlie. You've made this whole thing possible, I'm happy that your dreams are finally coming true. I'm just sorry I can't be with you anymore residents."
"Don't worry, Vaggie. It's for the best. You deserve a better afterlife, and now you've earned it. So did you, Husk. I saw how hard you worked to give up your addictions. You deserve it."
"Thanks. I guess this project was worth a shot." Husk scratched his ears before sighing, looking at Alastor and Vox,"Hey Al, Vox. Guess this is the last time I'll be seeing you,huh?"
"I guess so. I didn't like you at first, but now I actually think I'll miss seeing your presence at the bar." Vox stated.
"Neither did I. But you grew on me over the years. You and Al had a little rivalry so I didn't really trust you all that muhc, but I guess that's over now. We're at least somewhat friends. Gonna miss seeing ya around, Vox. Don't do anything stupid, goti t?"
"Course."
"You too, Al. We may not be the greatest of pals, but I'm gonna miss seeing ya around."
"Me too Husker! It was a pleasure of having you at my service!" The Radio Demon laughed,"No need for tearful goodbyes! I'm certain you'll be fine without us! Though I wouldn't mind if you stayed!"
"No thanks, the others are waiting up there for me. Just don't do anything too bad while I'm away."
Vaggie then turned to them, especially eyeing Alastor and Vox,"Don't kill each other while we're gone, got that?"
"We won't. We're not friends,but while Charlie's around we're not going to start a brawl." Vox said.
"Indeed. We'll at least tolerate each other in the meantime, it's not like we're going anywhere anytime soon."
Charlie then walked over,"Don't worry Vagige, I'll keep an eye on them. We'll be alright."
"If you say so. Take care of each other. Don't try anything while we're away, you two...don't hurt Charlie…else I'll come down here even if I have to go through heaven's gates to show you a piece of my mind."
"Thought has never crossed my mind," Vox said.
"Neither has mine! We wouldn't hurt the demon belle anyhow, she's our ally and business partner, hurting associates makes little sense!"
"Good." Vaggie turned,"Alright Michael, Husk and I are ready. We've said our goodbyes."
"Wonderful. Quite sweet of you to bid goodbye to my niece and her friends like that. I see why she liked you. Now, let's rid you of two of those demonic forms…You know how this works."
Vaggie and Husk grabbed his hand, their demonic forms stripped away from them, the light fading away.
Vagatha had gold and white hair and almond skin, her eye was hidden by the large bang. She had a white bow and dress with white and gold stockings and white arm sleeves and a choker. Her dress was much more elegant, fitting where she'd be going. She had gold mascara on her eyes.
Hank had a sharp and rough face with large eyebrows. His hair gold with strands of white inside, looking middle aged. He had gold eyes and pale skin. Hank's tuxedo was gold and white with a large black bow on it. He wore tap shoes.
Both of them had wings and halo, but Husk's wings resembled the ones he had while a demon.
"Ready to go, Hank?" Vagatha asked,"Cause I know I am…"
"Ready as I'll ever be." Hank replied."Let's get a move on, the others are waiting for us."
Vaggie took up into the air, Husk held onto her to make sure she didn't fall."Woah! This is a lot to get used to."
"Now you know how I felt." Husk laughed,holding her hand to make sure she didn't fall."Come on, keep your balance."
"I got it." Vaggie then managed herself, she turned to the others and waved,"Goodbye, Charlie...Vox..Alastor. Take care of yourselves."
"And if you ever change your mind Al, just know we're waiting up here for ya!" Husk shouted, turning his back.
Michael smiled,"Time to ascend to new heights. I hope to see the rest of you in the coming years, hopefully you'll have more demons with you. Goodbye, Charlotte." Micheal had a feeling he wouldn't be back for a while, Alastor and Vox still had their issues to work out, but he was certain they'd get there given enough time.
The trio took off, Michael leading them to heaven as the remaining demons watched.
"Goodbye Vaggie, Husk...You're gonna love it up there" Charlie smiled sadly, waving goodbye to the two demons she had come to know so well. She knew they were going to be in a better plane of existence up there."At least I have you guys. You won't be going for a while, Vox, so I at least have you."
"Thanks…"
"I guess that's that." Alastor said with a smile, but Vox and Charlie could tell it was forced and weary."Huskers gone off with them...won't be seeing him ever again."
"You never know Al, Husk said that if you want to join them, you just need to change your mind. You can always change."
Alastor would normally scoff at the idea, but now that Husk and Niffty were gone, he couldn't help but feel more empty. Everyone who brought him entertainment was gone. Only Vox and Charlie remained, and Vox likely would ascend given enough time.
Sure, he liked Charlie as a companion, but to think that only he and his rival were the only ones around did make things rather empty. What's the use of having entrainment when everyone you knew was up there?
Angel, Cherri, Arackniss, Niffty, Husk, Vaggie. All of them were up there. Vox would likely follow soon after….
"Doubt it'll work, but I'll keep what he said in mind," Alastor mumbled, before turning back and going inside the hotel.
Charlie was ready to go back inside, but Vox suddenly asked,"Princess, can I speak with you for a moment?"
"Hm? Oh sure. What's this about?"
"I just wanted to ask, how's the relationship going to work if Vaggie's up there and you're down here. There's no way to communicate up there…"
"Oh don't worry about that, Vaggie and I decided to break our relationship off. She knew she'd be ascending soon and we decided before it happened to cut 're still good friends, but it's for the best since you know...Dad won't let me go up there and I'm still needed down here in hell."
"Oh..Sorry."
"No, it's fine. It was mutual, we both knew this was coming. Vaggie deserved a better afterlife and I knew I wouldn't be able to be a part of it. She told me I just have to go find someone else who'll love me again, but I'm not too sure if I'll be able to find that person. Hopefully they'll come around later…Someone out there will love me"
"I'm certain there's someone just waiting for you if you look right in front of you…"
Charlie looked past him,"Yeah, someone out there is waiting for me…Thanks for reassuring me, Vox. I hope you find that person you love too!"
"But-"
Charlie had already gone inside.
Vox nearly lost it, watching as Charlie happily walk away.
'I blew it didn't I?' He thought sadly, shaking his head. He's loved again...but that person was blind to his affections...
