37 Days Left Until Extermination...
Back at the hotel, Charlie and Vaggie were still in the hotel lobby. The two of them looked at each other. They were still confused wondering why Anna had ran out like her life was on the line. Suddenly, they heard someone approaching behind as familiar trots footsteps echoed in the room. They turned to see Alastor, however, he looked like he had been in a fight. His eyes glowed a brilliant red, completely furious. He stood in front of the two women with a strained grin on his face, looking like he wanted to murder someone.
"Al, what happened?!" Charlie demanded.
"Well, our human has stolen my staff!" Alastor said.
"Guess, that explains why she left in a hurry." Vaggie laughed. Alastor glared at the moth demon. Then Husk and Angel approached the group, wondering what was going on.
"What's with all the commotion?" Angel asked. "I was giving Husky here a private session-" He stopped when he saw the state that Alastor was in. Angel laughed. Alastor looked like he was going to murder him on the spot. Charlie got in between the two.
"Hold on a minute! Guys, we can't jump to conclusions." the princess explained. "There must be a reason why Anna did what she did. She doesn't seem like the type of person who would do such a bad thing..."
Suddenly, the doors burst open and Niffty and Baxter ran into the lobby.
"GUYS! TROUBLE! BIG TROUBLE!" Niffty screamed.
"Niffty? Baxter? Guys, What's wrong?" Charlie questioned.
"AlastoryouhavetohelpAnna!She'singreatdanger!ThethreeV'skidnappedher!" Niffty quickly rambled, answering. Everyone blinked not catching a word that she said.
"I did not catch a word of that." Husk replied.
"Slow down. What do you mean trouble?" Alastor asked.
"It's Vox! And he's not alone. Valentino, Velvet and him took Anna! They're at Vox's Studio!" Niffty explained, more clearly. Everyone's eyes widened in shock, at the news. Alastor clenched his hand tightly, slightly in rage. His nails were digging into his palm, cutting it. That blasted piece of shit television!
"Then we need to help her!" Charlie said. She turned to everyone else. "Guys, what do you say? Will you help?"
"If Val's there, who knows what torture he's planning on doing to her. From personal experience, I don't want to her to through that. I'm in!" Angel replied.
"You can count me in! Anna's already done enough for me! I have to help her!" Niffty said.
"if you're in, then I'm with you!" Baxter added.
"Guess, I'm in..." Husk murmured. Angel stopped him.
"No, you're not. You're going to watch stay here and Nugsy for me."
The cat demon's eyes widened in anger. "I ain't watching that filthy pig!"
"Aw, that's so sweet! That you're worried for me-" Angel smirked, cupping Husk's cheek with his hand. Husk brushed it off, smacking Angel's hand away. "Get off me! Who says I'm worried for you?" Angel fluttered his eyes."You can put on the whole tough guy all you want, but that's just for show!" Then Angel gasped in realization, pressing his hands to his face, squealing with happiness. "You're in love with m-!"
"Shut your fucking mouth of I'll shut it for you!" Husk growled. "I'll watch your stupid pig!"
Charlie looked at Alastor who was standing where he was, silently, watching everyone. She walked over to him.
"Al, what do you say?"
"No, I won't help." Alastor said.
"Smiles, what the hell?!" Angel exclaimed, angrily.
"I won't help a dirty rotten thief." Alastor replied.
"After, everything Anna's done for us, you won't help her!?" Angel shouted.
"And look at how she repayed us, by running off," Alastor argued. "And stealing my microphone! She never cared about any of us! She used us! Why can't anyone of you see that?!"
"Anna wasn't going to give your staff to Vox." Niffty added. Alastor's eyes widened. He stopped and looked at Niffty.
"What do you mean?" Alastor questioned.
"Before, Vox took her, Anna refused to give it to him. She was going to return your staff back to you. I heard it with my own ears."
In Vox's Studio, Vox was grinning like a mad man, holding Alastor's staff in his hands. Valentino was sitting on the couch while Velvet was texting on her phone, taking pictures of Anna who was tied up and sitting across from them. Beside her, was Vox's pet, a mutated shark with arms and legs, Vark, was eyeing her with a hungry look in his eyes.
"I can't believe I finally got Alastor's staff!" Vox laughed maniacally.
"You bastard!" Anna shouted. "You are not going to get away with this!" Velvet crammed a sock into Anna's mouth and taped it.
"So, when are you going to keep your promise and turn the human over to me?" Valentino asked. "I can't wait to have her for my business. I have clients wanting to try her out. Maybe I can squeeze in a little time for myself as well." Anna's eyes widen and she screamed. She struggled against the moth demon trying to get him off.
"You'll have your chances with her later." Vox stopped him. "I still have use for her."
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion heard not to far off. Vox turned his head towards the monitors. He grinned.
"Looks, like bambi brought a few friends." the TV demon said and turned to Valentino and Velvet. "Mind taking care of them."
Valentino and Velvet left the room, leaving. Vox walked over to Anna and picked her up by the ropes.
"You're coming with me." He said, dragging Anna behind him.
Angel, Cherri, Niffty and Baxter walked into a dimly lit room. In a flash, all the lights came on. Angel eyes widened at who was standing in front of him, not too far off from the room.
"Val,"
Valentino smirked as his high heels clicked on the floor, heading towards the group. Angel froze as Valentino came closer. "Angel cakes, so glad to see you again."
"Where's Anna, Val?" Angel asked. "Tell me where she is."
"The human pet is with Voxxy at the moment." Valentino laughed. "I can't wait to have her for my edition."
"You don't need her, Valentino." Angel said. "I'm not going to let that happen." Valentino stared at Angel for a moment, thinking. He hummed.
"You know, I'll be willing to forgive you for disobeying me. Stop this redemption nonsense and take care of them and come back."
Angel flinched as he clenched his fists.
"We can totally take this bastard down." Cherri said, looking at Angel. "Let's fuck him up!"
Angel laughed. Everyone stared in surprised. Valentino growled.
"What's so funny, Angel?"
"You are such a loser, Val!" Angel shouted then he reached up towards his mouth and began pulling on the gold tooth. He ripped it out and tossed the tooth on the floor. It slid stopping at Valentino's feet.
"Go fuck yourself!" Angel screamed. "I'm done listening to you anymore!"
Valentino glared at Angel, furiously. "Then so be it!" He growled.
Charlie and Vaggie stopped at a room and walked inside. They were met with someone, clapping slowly. The lights came on, and velvet was lounging in a chair, sitting in front of them.
"Where's Anna?" Charlie demanded.
"She's preoccupied with Mr. V at the moment." Velvet explained, standing up. "So you two will have to settle for me, instead!"
"Let's take out this payaso," Vaggie said.
As everyone else were fighting there own battles, Alastor went on ahead. He stopped in front of the door to Vox's main studio room. He opened it and walked inside.
He came to a halt when he heard an distorted laugh. Alastor looked up to see Vox above him, along with Anna.
"So you actually came, Alastor? I was starting to think that you weren't going to show."
"Return them to me." Alastor ordered. Vox laughed.
"Not so fast. You can thank your lovely human here for this little get together." He said. Alastor stood with a frozen grin as he saw his microphone in Vox's hand. Vox noticed and smirked wickedly.
"Not so tough without your stick are you, bambi?" He asked, holding out Alastor's staff.
"Let me go, you stupid, over egotistical, yellow bellied, pompous, narcissistic, cultish, bastard!" Alastor's microphone shouted.
"Enough of this bushwa, Vox!" Alastor growled. "Let her go and give me back my staff and we'll settle this on our own terms." Vox hummed, thinking for a moment before making a sickening grin.
"No," He replied. "I'd rather watch you suffer by my own hands." He gripped Alastor's microphone, tightly. Alastor felt a stabbing pain throughout his entire body like a thousand knives. He let out a screech, followed by loud distorted static. Alastor fell to his knees, his claws scratched the floor, roaring in pain.
Anna's eyes widened, watching Alastor in front of her writhing in pain. She struggled against her bindings trying to break free. Vox laughed in amusement.
"You know, Alastor I might make your suffering less painful if you admit that TV is more superior to music than that antique radio."
Alastor groaned. "Your music is all just screaming nonsense! Mine is an art!" He shouted. Vox scowled and gripped Alastor's microphone, harder, causing Alastor scream more in pain. Anna watched the two with disbelief as she had just manged to slip her arm free, taking off her gag. Two grown men seriously debating and fighting over which entertainment is better?
Anna sneaked quietly behind the TV demon's back, unnoticed, and kicked Vox from behind his knees, making him lose his balance. He dropped Alastor's staff, sending it sliding across the floor. It landed right in front of Alastor. Vox growled and turned to Anna. He began advancing his way over towards her.
"You bitch!" He shouted. Vox slapped Anna, hard knocking her to the ground. Soon, Anna was unable to breathe as Vox grabbed her throat with his hands. Anna gasped. She tried to push Vox off of her but he squeezed harder. "You've ruined everything!"
Anna vision was clouded with black spots. She struggled to breath, but was unable to. She tried to pry Vox's hands off from her throat but she had no strength. Her mind began to drift as she saw Vox's face in front of hers. She felt her whole body beginning to go numb as she couldn't move a muscle. She was going to die.
Just as her vision was going black, Vox was suddenly knocked away from her. Alastor's had swung his staff and it landed directly into Vox's screen, shattering it.
Anna coughed and wheezed, trying to breathe. She looked up to see Alastor standing in front of her in between her and Vox. Vox groaned as he sat up only to back away In fear to see Alastor with a deranged and terrifying look on his face.
"N-Now hold on," Vox stammered, as he scrambled away from the radio demon who was slowly inching towards him. "You can take a joke can you? It was just a goof!" Alastor raised an eyebrow as he stopped in front of him. He hummed as he tapped his finger on his chin. Then Alastor made a dark grin.
"Sure, I can, Vox," He replied. Alastor pulled back his fist. "Here's my punchline!" He punched Vox right into the screen, shattering it completely. The TV demon fell to the floor unconscious.
Outside, of Vox's Studio, everyone was celebrating their victory. Valentino and Velvet were lying on the floor. The two of them groaned in pain in a pile of bruises and broken teeth and bones. Angel was talking about stealing Vox's limo, Cherri agreed along with him. Charlie was trying to talk them out of it, along with Vaggie. Niffty was with Baxter. Alastor and Anna sat alone from everyone else, watching them. Alastor watched with a strained smile as he saw Niffty kissed Baxter, uncomfortably.
"Alastor, I-" Alastor turned to Anna when he heard her spoke. "There's something that I want to tell you."
"What is it?" He asked.
"I want to tell you that I love-"
"Anna?" a voice called out interrupting Anna. Alastor and her heard someone gasp, followed by the sound of running footsteps.
"Anna banana!" Anna's eyes widen and she felt her cheeks burn red with embarrassment. That awful nickname! Only one person in the world would call her THAT! It can't be...
Suddenly, Alastor was shoved as he was knocked away from her. Anna was pulled into a tight hug by another strange deer demon. With red eyes glowing, Alastor looked up and glared dangerously as he angrily stared in front of him at whoever dared to touch him!
"Chris?"
