The moment they all got to the hotel, they noticed it looked far more modern.

Apparently when Vox put in the plans for the hotel to be built, it looked like something he owned rather than something the Magne family owned, having a more up to date look with a techno vibe.

The once old fashioned aesthetic that Charlie had come to associate the Hotel with had vanished, replaced with a modern one that made it look more like those nightclubs you'd see at the side of town rather than a place for reformation.

"Uh...Was this how it always looked?" Micheal asked,"Looks a bit...different from how I expected it to be…."

"Oh no, this is Vox's doing. I don't know what he had in mind but his planners clearly had a different idea in mind when it came to the setup and vibe of the hotel…" She admitted, rubbing the back of her neck awkwardly.

"Do you not like it?" Vox inquired.

"Oh no, it's not like I don't like it...I just didn't expect it to look this different. I can barely recognize the place. Not a bad thing but it's gonna take some getting used to…"

Charlie then opened the door to see what the inside of the Hotel looked like, surprised to see everything had been updated to fit the modern metropolis looks, flashing lights and a dark atmosphere to boot.

"Holy shit," Angel muttered,"If I didn't know any better I'd think this is a strip club, not a hotel…"

"Same," Velvet said,"I can't believe this is supposed to be a reformation clinic…" Velvet then hopped on one of the couches,"Feels like I'm at a club. Only thing missing is the drugs and the sex…" She then nudged Vol's shoulder,"Hey Vol, wanna-"

Vol scoffed,"Not now, Velvet...Not in the mood and I'm too tired anyway…"

"Aw man…"

Everyone else quickly began to head off to do their own things. Husk headed to the bar and saw that someone had already refilled the booze cabinet for him.``Well I'll be, looks like those assholes knew what they were doing. About time, now I can finally drink again…" He popped open a cap and quickly began to chug down only for Angel to show up."What the fuck do you want?"

"Oh the usual Husky~"

"Course you fucking do…" He rolled his eyes before sliding Angel's favorite drink over to him.

"Hey Niss, wanna have a drink?" Angel called out.

"Er...sure…"

Niffty began to clean some places that were left dusty, Charlie and Vaggie were focusing on how to advertise the hotel. Lucifer relaxed in a chair while his siblings and Ada sat on a separate couch. Lilith was busy tending to Samuel and ensuring he didn't pull on her hair while 'feeding' him.

As this happened, Vox looked at Vanny, who was still missing an arm and rubbed his 'chin'(or the lower part of his screen to be exact)."So what do we do now? We've got quite the problem on our hands..."

"I'm not certain," Alastor admitted,"If Vanny doesn't want a robotic arm she'll have to operate as a cripple for the rest of her afterlife…"

"I mean, I don't mind. I get to have this cool battle scar and who doesn't love battle scars? My followers will love it once I upload a pic of me and-"

"VANNY!" Vox shouted,"Who cares about them!? This is about you! And your physical health! Your followers don't mean jack, we need to fix this because having you walk around without an arm is just going to inconvenience everyone! Being a cripple isn't fun and we need a suitable replacement so that you can function!"

"Like what? I don't want a robo arm!"

"Why? Because it's not aesthetically pleasing? Who cares!? This is about practicality, Vanny! Use your common sense!"

"But I don't want it!" She huffed.

"Oh my god," Vol groaned,"This is getting nowhere. She's not listening to a word you say. We'll be going in circles at this rate."

"I hate to agree with Vol, but he does have a point. I don't think Vanny is going to change her mind so unless we find an alternative she's basically stuck like this…" Alastor admitted,"We should probably focus on getting Vanny something she likes because it's clear that she doesn't like anything robotic in nature. So Vanny, what do you want? Do you want to be a cripple or do you want an arm?"

"I do want an arm...just not a robotic one...It ruins my style."

"Why do you care about your style again?" Vol asked,"That hardly matters. You should focus on your arm, or lack thereof."

"Hey, a girl still has to look good! I'd look weird with a prosthetic arm and it'd kill my vibe!"

"I mean, she is right!" Velvet said.

"Of course you agree, you're the same person…" Vol replied.

"We kind of diverged from being the same bitch a while ago, Vol," Vanny informed,"Not exactly the same person anymore."

"Regardless, don't you think you should care more about your arm rather than how it looks? That's not exactly very wise…"

"Who said I was wise?"

"Fair enough. Given how Velvet acts, I shouldn't be surprised by your lack of common sense but it still does."

"This still doesn't solve the problem!" Vox hissed,"We need to get her an arm and one that she isn't throwing a hissy fit over having!"

Velvet then snapped her fingers together,"Ooh! I have an idea! How about we use magic to create an arm for her? We should be able to customize it too so that it fits her perfectly!"

"Doesn't sound impossible," Alastor said,"Though do you know how?"

"Never personally tried it, but I know a lot of spells too. Maybe if we all work together we can figure something out!"


Everyone had quickly gone to work, using their knowledge of magic to the best of their ability to craft up the perfect replacement arm for Vanny. It took some time and effort but with everyone contributing it ended up happening faster than it would have solo.

Vox narrowed his eyes,"What's taking Velvet so long fitting the arm on? They should be done by now!"

Velvet had insisted that she was the one to fit Vanny's arm onto her and told the boys to wait outside. As you could imagine, Vox's patience was starting to tick as it had been over fifteen minutes and neither girl had come out of the room.

"Patience, I'm certain the girls are just adjusting a few things. They'll be out in no time…"

"They should've been out five minutes ago! I swear she better not mess that arm up, we spent way too long creating that thing for ehr to mess it up…"

"Vox, you know Velvet isn't going to destroy it," Vol chided,"Relax, it's probably nothing major. Knowing them, they're probably just trying to share it with their followers or something petty like that…"

Just then, Velvet opened the door and said,"Alright guys, we're done! You're not gonna believe how awesome she looks!"

"Well let us see here then," Vox said flatly.

"Sheesh, you're too impatient, Vox…" She then called out,"Come on out, let the boys see the improvements I made!"

Vanny came out of the room not only with a new arm but a new outfit as well. Apparently Velvet thought her current getup wasn't good enough and decided to change her uniform to something more fitting.

And by fitting, I mean she decided to engage in the inner narcissistic part of her by making Vanny look more similar than she already was. Vanny was wearing a white violet and black dress. Her regular arm had black and violet stripes while the other had what appeared to be a porcelain prosthetic with purple runes engraved on it, the fingers levitating as they were held up by magic.

"Tada!" Vanny exclaimed,"How does my new arm look bitches? Even got a spicier appearance to go! Don't I look fantastic?"

Vox nodded,"Yeah. Way better than earlier. And you even have a new arm.."

"Does it fit?" Alastor asked,"That's the important question…"

"Obviously," Velvet said as she rolled her eyes,"Do you think I'd let her run around with something that doesn't fit her? And you know this ain't a normal prosthetic arm, it's magic so it's gonna fit her anyway…"

"Yeah, and look at this cool new trick I can do!" Vanny held up her porcelain arm before clenching her fist, causing her arm to become larger like it was some sort of gauntlet,"Pretty neat, huh?"

Vox jumped back,"Woah! That thing is huge!"

"The power of magic makes everything possible!" Velvet giggled.

"Still, aren't you worried about it breaking? Porcelain isn't exactly a durable material…" Vol mentioned,"It doesn't seem wise to build prosthetics out of something so fragile. It's almost as sensitive as glass, one wrong move and she'll be without an arm again."

"Relax Vol, the magic we used is gonna make sure it's as durable if not more so than a normal arm. And it's pretty flexible too so it's not like it's normal porcelain either. Vanny can literally turn her fist into a gauntlet without straining the magic, there's no way anyone's breaking that easily…"

"Fair enough…" Vol then paused,"Say does anyone want a drink?"

"Now that you mention it, I am kind of thirsty…"

"Yeah…"

"I don't see why not…"

When they all got to the bar, Husk was sipping on his tenth bottle of booze while Angel was flirting with him to his growing annoyance. Arackniss didn't seem to be paying attention to his brother but did notice them,"Damn, guess you got a new arm, huh? And it doesn't look half bad…"

"You can thank the others for that one. They made it for me…" Vanny said as she grabbed a drink from the bar and used her new arm's natural telekinesis to hold her drink,"Works like a charm…"

"Damn, starting to wish my arm looked like that…"

"Trust me, it ain't worth the feeling of having your arm chopped off…"

"I know," He admitted slowly,"At least you knew how I felt when you whacked mine off. Took so fucking long to heal and it's still sore. Do you even feel anything in that arm?"

"Not really," She shrugged,"I can control it but it doesn't feel attached to me in the same way my actual arm was. Though I just wanted to say that, I'm sorry for fucking up your arm earlier…"

"Eh, I've been through worse…" He replied,"It's already mostly healed anyway. Hardly matters…"

"I mean, it does but it's healed now so it's not as bad as it used to be. Though now that everything is over, it's kind of clear we all lost someone important in our lives. I lost Val and I heard he killed your dad, am I right?"

"Yeah…"

"Can't say I'm too surprised, Val was always the type to go overboard. Sorry he fucked you over like that, but at the very least we can try to move on. Wanna call it a truce, Arackniss and try to put the bad-blood behind us?" She offered her prosthetic arm towards him.

Arackniss narrowed his eyes at her extended hand, clenching his jaw.

"You don't have to if you don't wanna…"

"I know…" He replied,"But I'm honestly getting sick of this bullshit. So much shit has happened and I'm too tired to care anymore. I just want to move the fuck on…"

"Same…"

He then reluctantly reached out and shook her hand only to yelp,"Aw fuck, my arm! Why is your grip so tight!?"

"Uh...that wasn't intentional…"

"Don't make it hurt less, that's still my weak arm!" He hissed,"Please refrain from shaking my hand ever again! Your grip is like iron!"

She sweatdropped,"I will…" Vanny then rubbed the back of her neck,'Guess my grip is a little too strong now... Wasn't even intending to do that…'

Vox narrowed his eyes as he sipped on his drink,'Mental note, never ask to shake hands with Vanny ever again…' Just then, Vox's attention flickered over to a different part of the lobby, now seeing Charlie and Vaggie were discussing something.

"Charlie, we can't do that!" Vaggie growled,"We already screwed that up the first time, we can't repeat ourselves!"

"But Vaggie, the hotel has been rebuilt, this is our chance to rebrand!"

"You know what happened the last time we went there! Our reputation is already fucked, we can't risk screwing that over if you pull that card again!"

Vox raised an eyebrow before turning over and asking,"Ladies, what's going on here? I've never seen you two butt heads before, what's the fire?"

Vaggie pinched the bridge of her nose,"Charlie wants to go to Channel 666 again to advertise the hotel again…"

"What's the problem with that?" Michael asked with a raised brow.

"Yeah, what's the problem with advertising?" Gabriel inquired,"Shouldn't that be easy?"

"It'd be easy if our redemption idea wasn't considered a laughing stock!" Vaggie replied,"I know you two are out of the loop since you were in Heaven and busy with your own affairs, but down here, people aren't too receptive to the idea of self improvement."

"That and Charlie's idea isn't too popular," Alastor mentioned,"Most consider her project to be outright impossible and that all demons are irredeemable."

"And it probably didn't help that Charlie did a literal musical about puppies and rainbows to get her point across," Vox stated,"That stuff doesn't fly down here and while Charlie meant well, all the denizens of Hell saw was a rich airhead trying to take their toys away with her song, not to mention Angel getting involved with a turf war at the same time, making it hard to take the hotel seriously."

Everyone gave Angel Dust a judgemental look, causing him to shout out,"Hey I said I was sorry dammit!"

"That doesn't make the issue go away!" the moth snarled,"You made Charlie and I look like bigger jokes than before! You dragged our reputation further into the mud!"

"I owed Cherri a solid dammit! Not like matters anyway, nobody was taking this hotel seriously…"

Vaggie seemed ready to say something only for Charlie to cut her off,"He's right Vaggie. I mean, nobody really takes my dreams seriously. Al only joined because he was bored. Angel needed a rent free place to stay and Husk and Niffty were summoned here to work. Outside of you, who actually takes my dreams seriously? Even my Dad thinks I'm a failure…And at this point, I probably am."

Nobody said anything, the other angels sent their brother a harsh glare, Lucifer himself tipping his hat down to avoid meeting their gazes.

Charlie rubbed her shoulder, posture slumping in defeat. Nobody dared to say a word, the princess sombre gaze glued to the floor, water droplets threatening to escape her eyes.

Vox frowned before taking a stand from his seat,"I do…"

The princess momentarily paused,"W-What?"

"You heard me, Princess. I do. I take your 'Redemption' plan seriously…"

"Vox, there's no need to lie. I get you're trying to make me feel better but you don't have to-"

"But I'm not lying," He cut in,"I'm being as genuine as I can possibly be, Charlie. Don't get me wrong, before all of this happened I thought your dreams were nothing more than a nonsensical pipe dream that couldn't hope to get off the ground. But now? So many things that nobody ever thought were possible occurred. Hell, Vol's existence is proof of this! Vol would've never came to be had Al and I not interacted with that crystal at the same time. Nobody thought that two demons merging was possible and yet that happened! Crazier things have been happening ever since Vol came to be, we've had timeline hopping, we've had possessed Angels, we've even had sinners turned into angels! At this point, Redemption is probably the least craziest thing on the list and it's far more plausible now than before! Not to mention, I'm pretty sure it's already happened…"

"What do you mean Vox?"

He grabbed her shoulders,"Charlie, I'm the biggest evidence you have that redemption is possible. I made the choice to correct my mistakes out of my own free will, I fought and died just to try and make up with someone who I was supposed to care for from the beginning and freed several others in the process. And now look at me, I'm an angel now!"

"Yeah but-"

"But what, Charlie? Don't tell me you've given up on your dreams after all this time! We've come so far and I refuse to believe that you'd give up on your plans so easily! I know you're made of tougher stuff, Charlie! You have more courage than most people in this room possess! I can't say many people in this room would willingly go up on camera and sing a song about Redemption to a crowd of the most ruthless and cruel people known to man. You have more guts than I did, because I know if I performed an advertisement that was reviewed that badly I'd probably wish for double-death instantly. You're braver than you think you are, Charlie, and I know that your dream is possible…"

"Thanks Vox, that really means a lot…" She sniffled, wiping her eyes,"I'm just worried that nobody is gonna believe us. Nobody believes Redemption is possible and they'll probably just laugh me out of the new station the moment I try to advertise again…"

Vox narrowed his eyes,"Then let me come with you…"

"What?"

"I know I've technically been 'dead' for a while, but I doubt anyone's forgotten about me this soon. I used to own every news station in Hell before I died and even now, I doubt anyone's forgotten who I am. I should be able to get us inside without trouble."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive. The people of Hell won't believe you just by going off your words, Charlie. They need physical evidence and what better evidence than the person who accomplished redemption first?"

"That sounds...fair..Though does Heaven approve of letting sinners in? I don't want to falsely advertise since I wasn't too sure about getting my idea to work. And now that things have changed, I just want to be sure that everything's OK with them…"

Gabriel gave Micheal a look, clearly not too fond of the idea of letting an influx of 'reformed' sinners inside Heaven's gates, however Micheal sent them a look, causing them to sigh,"Fine, Micheal. Have it your way…"

"It's good to us, Charlie," Micheal said,"Heaven will accept those fully reformed through your hotel."

"YAY!" Charlie cheered,"My dream is finally coming to fruition! I can't believe it! This is the best day of my life!"

"Still, let's not celebrate too soon, we still have to get to the news-station to tell the masses that your idea is sound,"Alastor said,"And no offense my dear, you didn't do yourself any favors the last time you were there. They might not take too kindly to you being there…"

"You're acting like she's going alone," Vox retorted,"I don't know if you've been paying attention, Al, but I'm coming with her to ensure they don't try anything funny…"

"I know, but any help would suffice in this journey. After all, you're not the only redeemed soul out there you know. And I'm certain there are others who want to come as well…"

"Can I come?" Vanny asked.

"Of course, the more the merrier…"

"What about me?" Velvet shot up,"I wanna go too!"

"I don't see why not…" Alastor admitted before asking,"Hey Vol, do you want to come? There's room for one more…"

He shrugged,"Normally I'd decline...but if Velvet's going I suppose I have no other choice but to follow. Besides, I don't want you two hurting yourselves…"

"You worry too much, Vol…"

"Paranoia is reasonable when those around you hurt themselves at the drop of a hat…."

"Hey!" Vaggie shouted,"Hate to interrupt the moment, but we gotta head to the news station! Charlie's idea needs to be broadcasted pronto and the father-son moment can wait can't it?"

"Fine, Vaggie. If you insist. We shall be going…"

Charlie cheered,"Yay! That's what I'm talking about! Going in as a team! Channel 666, here we come!" She then barged out the hotel door with the others following after her, determination burning inside her beady eyes.


The group soon found themselves in front of the news station, Charlie twisting her lip as she looked at the entrance, Vaggie rubbing her arm nervously in anticipation, a bead of sweat trickling down her face.

As she reached for the door, Vox opened it instead and turned to her with a small smile,"Let me handle this, Princess. I'll do the talking…"

"Oh OK…I'll let you lead then, Vox…"

Vox then took the lead, opening the door with utter confidence in his step. The moment they got inside, all eyes immediately glued onto him, gasps and whispers going around. Ignoring them, the TV Angel's eyes were directed towards the elevator.

As Vox prepared to go up to the elevator, some bodyguard had shoved himself between him and the elevator door. Vox immediately frowned,"Uh excuse me, but do you mind stepping aside? I need to get up to the top floor so that Charlie can advertise her hotel."

"Afraid I can't do that. Katie says that Charlie Magne isn't allowed in any of the new stations after her controversial performance. The last time she was in here she set the place on fire and we can't risk her destroying anything after that stunt. You need to take your friends and leave the premises…"

"Do you know who I am?" Vox asked,"Because you should know I used to run this place. In case you've forgotten, I'm Vox, the TV Demon…"

"You don't look like much of a Demon to me, especially with that halo and pair of wings on your back" He replied,"Not to mention Vox died like a year ago. You can't come back from double-death. Nice try on the cosplay, but trying to act like a deadman to get free clearance inside a place you have no right to be in does you no favors. Now scram, not only are you not on our regular schedule but Charlie is forbidden from coming up in the station so you and your friends better leave…"

Vox's eye twitched,'How dare this fool claim I'm an imposter! I'm the real deal!' A part of him was tempted to electoruce the bastard, but refrained because he felt no need to dirty his hands with some idiot's blood. He then turned to Vanny, an idea popping into his head.

"Well in that case, I suppose you're right. But before we go, why don't you and my girl buddy shake hands? She just got a new arm and she'd be happy to show it to you, isn't that right Vanny?"

Vanny nodded,"Yeah, I would! Give it here, pal!" Vanny then grabbed his hand with her prosthetic arm only to 'accidentally' crush his hand, causing him to scream in agony,"Whoopsie! Looks like I forgot my own strength! Hope that wasn't your good hand cuz I think I just broke all the bones in that thing…" She giggled as she watched him fall to the ground, falling unconscious.

Alastor chuckled,"Looks like someone won't be waking up for a while. Guess he's out of hair now…"

"Was that really necessary?" Vol wearily asked,"We could've just forced him to leave through other means…"

"Yeah, but that was quicker," Vox said,"Now let's head inside before another goon shows up to stop us in our tracks."

They all headed inside the elevator and Vox pushed the button to get to the top floor. The door opened and they all stepped out to see that Katie and Tom were on break and the others present seemed to be ready to pack up, clearly on their final run for the night.

Charlie then shouted,"Hey KATIE! Guess who's back!"

Katie's neck snapped in her direction, eyes narrowing with hostility,"Ugh, what are you doing here, Charlie? I thought I specifically banned you from being let inside any of the new stations. You shouldn't be here…"

"Vox let me in," She retorted, glaring at the reporter with equally hostile eyes.

"Seriously, Charlie? Using a deadman as your ambassador to get clearance somewhere? That's low even by my standards, Charlie, real low…"

"Call me low all you want, but it's the truth! Vox is right here!" She shouted, pointing at him,"There's your proof! Vox is here in the flesh and he's on my side!"

Katie didn't seem convinced, blowing out her cigarette,"Uh-huh, sure. Look, Charlie, I don't know what's gotten into your mind but clearly you thought finding some random TV Demon and dressing him up like Vox would get you somewhere after you bribed. I know you're aren't too bright but I think it's best you got back to Mommy and Daddy because this place is for grownups, not children with stupid little dreams that are just begging to get CRUSHED…"

Alastor's eye twitched,"Show some respect, Killjoy. You are speaking to the princess of Hell itself and your lack of manners are disturbing…"

"Who are you again? Seriously, Charlie, quitting bringing your nobody friends into the new station is just embarrassing."

Al flinched, apparently nobody recognized him without his deer form to the point Killjoy of all people was calling him a nobody. He wanted to attack her but Charlie held her hand up in his direction, clearly attempting to avoid a repeat of the last interview.

"Look Katie, you don't like me, I don't like you, but I'm going to get one thing straight," Charlie sighed,"I'm here to advertise my hotel and I'm here to do it right this time…"

"Oh this again? Don't remember what happened last time?" Katie laughed,"In case you didn't get the memo, everyone considers your project dead on arrival. Your first client engaged in a turf war and you don't even know how to 'redeem' a demon in the first place. You're just wasting not only your time, but mine as well and my time is money so I suggest you take your reject friends and move your asses out of this office before I call security to remove you from my news station…"

Vaggie hissed, wanting nothing more than to rip her hair out of her skull.

She wanted to strangle her but Vox had intervened, stepping forward approaching Katie before saying,"You've got some nerve, Killjoy. Not only do you have the nerve to call me an imposter but you dare insult Charlie in front of me. Your common sense was always lacking but this is just taking the cake, Katie. You must've forgotten who you were dealing with because I'm no fake, I'm the real Vox…"

"Am I expected to believe that? Vox died quite some time ago and we all know there's no coming back from double-death. I get that Charlie is bribing you but you can't fool me. Especially with those fake ass wings and stupid halo over your head. If you're going to cosplay, at least get the person's outfit right because you failed in that regard. Now get out of my station before I force you out," She then pulled out a holy pistol and shoved it in front of his chest,"Take your ass and leave now before I shoot that flat face of yours."

Vox blinked in disbelief at being held at gun-point before saying,"Wow, quick to violence are we? Interesting, you're a lot more bold than I remember you being Katie. Guess me not being around gave you the opportunity to act even worse than usual. You were always a mythic bitch but now you don't even have a leash anymore. Just constant disrespect everywhere you go…" He then pulled out his spear and taunted it just under her neck,"But I do know one solution to that problem. This baby right here could end your life with just one single plunge in the neck. That or I could whack your head off your soldiers. Either way, you're weaker than me and if I desired, I could end your life and I doubt anyone here would care if you died given how unpleasant you are…"

Vox's eyes then flashed, his right eye's jagged pupil turned into an 'X' that resembled the one the dreaded Exorcists wore on their LED masks as his smile morphed into the most inhumane and sickening grin imaginable,"And you wouldn't want that would you? Because no matter how 'reformed' I am, I technically came down here as an Exorcist and I won't hesitate to put you out of your misery if you give me reason to and you're dangerously close to losing your life. So make a choice, continue pressing me or fall to my one…"

Katie immediately changed her tune, quickly saying,"My apologies, Vox. We'll let you take over from here…"

"That's exactly what I thought you'd say…" He replied, his eyes shifting back to normal. He turned to the other workers in the room who looked as shocked as Katie and said,"Alright everyone, you know how this works. Let's get this show on the road, I have a plan and I want this to look as good as possible…"

Without another word, everyone got to work in fear of questioning the angel's demands.


"Coming up next, everyone, I'm here to inform you we have a 'very' special guest today. I'm certain everyone's heard of Vox's death, however it seems that through some unknown tactics, Vox has managed to revive himself from double-death. Care to explain how?"

"I didn't do anything actually, that was Micheal. Long story short, Lucifer's brother ended up reviving me, though I wasn't exactly whole until later on. Regardless, that's now what I'm here for. What I am here for today is to help her advertise her passion project! As crazy as it sounds, I'm going to help her get her ground?"

"Why exactly?" Tom asked,"I mean, this change came out of nowhere, Vox. Did she bribe into advertising this for her?"

"Course she didn't, I'm doing this because I genuinely believe in her cause, not because I got bribed. And since I know all those watching are skeptical of Charlie's hotel working, take a look at me! In case you haven't noticed, I'm an Angel now and we have clearance from Heaven that Redemption works! But since everyone's already a bit doubtful, the best way I can explain myself is...through SONG!"

"Oh my god not again…" Katie growled,"Please don't fucking sing…"

Ignoring her, Vox took a deep breath before smiling,"You know that I know, you hear me so…"He then teleported to a separate location, him standing right in the center with the others at his side. "I exist around all you do!"

The others began to sing alongside him,"Though I doubt that this hits you as the most shocking of blows, this reminder I bring to you! That no matter the trade, there's now a hope for escape! From the toll that I'm sure you'll rue! Auf wiedersehen!"

"We've won the game of life!" Vox sang."As we wander through hell, that facade that we sell, bears a cross to the test of time! It's a real surprise that you've decided to rebel against the dead of night!" He then looked at Charlie with an admirable smile,"There are millions of ways we can remember the good old days, but they all end with a sacrifice! Don't be afraid, this is our AFTERLIFE!"

From that moment, utter chaos took place, everyone was using their powers to to liven up the area as the music blared from the speakers, Charlie summoning rainbows and whatever she could think of with Vol using his powers to add some flare in the mix.

Vanny and Velvet were throwing rocket launchers with confetti around. Vaggie was working with the speakers, acting as a self-appointed DJ.

Alastor and Vox were flying around with their wings, flying together in unison in sync, soaring over the skies and performing tricks for the amusement of those watching.

"This is our AFTERLIFE!" Vox exclaimed before chuckling,"You thought there was only Hell for you, but you've got no idea what awaits you above…" He then said,"Ha, we're all in for it now!"

Everyone then came together on stage with the biggest smiles on their faces, Al, Vox and Vol in particular getting close together to shout,"THIS IS OUR AFTERLIFE!"

The moment the song had ended, there was a loud roar of applause and cheers from all over Hell, Charlie's smile immediately widening as people were cheering for them. There were no mocking jeers unlike last time. Vox had done it, he had swayed the populace to have a better opinion of her hotel and it seemed like they were taking her seriously now.

"Vox…" She said,"Thank you. Everyone's taking us seriously. People will be lining up for redemption thanks to you…"

"No, thank you Charlie. This redemption thing was your idea, it's about time you got the fruits of your labor…" He held her hand,"I'm proud of you, Charlie. You've earned this, Princess. All I did was just set the stage to draw their attention, but everything else was you…"

"Aw shucks…" She gave Vox a hug, the taller man embracing her back as they took in the overall victory.

"Hey Al, looks like someone's getting a bit too cuddly over there," Vol mentioned.

"Can't say I blame him, Charlie's just natural sweetheart…"

"I just hope Vanny doesn't try shooting Charlie with her confetti launcher because I can just sense her jealousy from over there…"

"Oh relax, she'll be fine. Let Vox and Charlie have their moment, son," Al said as he put a hand on his shoulder.

"Did you just-"

Alastor grinned,"Yes, get used to it…"

"Oh...ok…Dad," Vol stammered lowly.

"What was that?"

"Nothing…"

"That didn't sound like nothing."

He then sent him a glare, though it didn't have much bark behind it,"Shut the fuck up, Al. You heard nothing..."

"Sure I did..."


Thanks for 13,492 views! Yeah, I added an altered version of Vox's interlude at the end. It's a really short song so I did my best with it. Originally was gonna have Vox do 'Inside of Every Demon's A Rainbow' but that didn't make the cut cuz I mean...Vox singing that song would look weird as fuck let's be honest here.

Enigmus-288: Yeah I don't think anyone saw that coming lol. Suffice to say that.
