Hello all before I begin this chapter, I will be doing answering some review questions.
Red Raven 007: Thanks for clarifying the slip up for Ebony & Ivory I will change that. Also, I never said anything about Mundus or Argosax being weaker. I said that Lucifer was the True King of Hell. That didn't mean they were weaker.
WaterDragonMaverick: Oh yeah, Angel is going to regret that beat.
Infinite Chronicles: I'm going to pair them. I just needed a reaction but for now, she is with Vaggie right now, so I don't want it to dump her for the hot guy gag.
Anyway, that's the main review I wanted to cover. Let's get into the show.
Mission 2- Dante checks in
Dante walks the streets of Pentagram City as he made his way to the hotel. A few demons gave him looks of curiosity while others passed him by. That is until 5 stood right in front of him. One was a pig with a white tank top with some grace on it as his belly popped out and wore blue jeans while holding a bat with nails on it, another was a purple crocodile that was more built than the pig and had a plain white shirt with dark jeans and had a chain on him, the third was a grey ogre who stood 7 feet tall and carried a club, the forth was a demon had four extra eyes on his forehead and carried a crowbar while the fifth and final demon was a grey feathered chicken, with a shotgun, so yes he's a cock.
"What can I do for you gentleman today," Dante mockingly asked the group.
"You're new around here aren't you." The chicken said as he pumped his shotgun. "Cause we don't take kindly to those in our turf."
"Well then, if you let me go thought then, I'll be on my merry way and you will never see me again," Dante told the chicken as he and his friends didn't move an inch. "Alright then, have it your way." He said as he puts his hands behind his back and pulls out Ebony & Ivory.
"Shit!" The Chicken demon said as he fired his shotgun at the Demon Hunter, but Dante avoided the shot and fired at point-blank range at the cock and shot him six times as blood splattered the streets. The other five demons look in surprise as they saw that their comrade dead beneath their feet.
"Get him!" The pig shouted as he and his others charged in.
"Let's start this party," Dante smirked as he dodges the pig's nailed bat and once again fires his guns off, filling the demon with many holes. Next came the demon with the four extra eyes on his forehead as he swung his crowbar at him, but Dante dodged them as he puts his guns away. "For someone who has six eyes, you sure do miss a lot." He taunts as the demon boils up in rage that he continues to swing his crowbar until the demon hunter grabs his wrists and twists and breaks his arm as splinters of bone snapped as the six-eyed demons screamed in pain as he dropped the crowbar. Dante picked up the weapon and beat his skull with it some many times that brain matter was showing. The demon hunter gave him a few more blows till he embeds the crowbar in the demon's skull. The croc came charging towards him as he wraps his chain around Dante's arm and pulls him in. Dante was sent flying towards the croc as his jaws were open ready to chump down on the demon hunter. Dante rolls his eyes as he pulls out Rebellion and sticks the sword into the demons' stomach. The croc gave a painful gasp as blood and intestines started to come out of him. Not wanting to waste any more time, Dante motions his sword into an upward swing as the croc was now split in half. "Four down, one to go." He tells himself as he was face to face with the ogre. "You sure you want to face me? I mean look at your friends they are all dead, you sure you want to face me?" He told the giant as the monster hit him with his club, sending him flying and hitting the side of a building. "Alright, suit yourself." He got back up, cracked his neck in place, and dashed towards the beast as it swung its club at him only for the demon hunter to move out of the way jump into the air, and stab it in the head as blood started to sprinkle like a fountain as the ogre's eyes rolled in to back of his head and collapse with a loud thud.
Making a perfect landing. Dante sheathes his sword on his back and looks at the mess he made. "Well, Lucifer said, kill as many as I can, I just so happen to kill five so far." He told himself aloud as he soon heard the clicking of a gun from behind him as many demons were now looking at him with grins on their faces and weapons in their hands. This made Dante smirk as he pulled out his boys. "Looks like this party is getting started." He told himself as he started to at the other demons
One and a half-hour later.
It took some time while blasting and slashing his way through hundreds of demons, but Dante finally made it to the hotel. He walked on the stone pavement as he got a good look at the hotel. The building itself was a tall elaborate maroon seven-store building with many turrets and arched windows. The most bizarre thing about the building was that a ship was plunged from the top down on the right side of the hotel. The demon hunter shrugged it off as he approached the door that had stained glass apples on the front door and chuckles at the idea that the King of Hell has a love for Apples. "Let's get this over with." He told himself as he knocks on the door.
Waiting a few seconds, the door soon opened to see not the princess, but a small pink-haired cyclops girl wearing an outfit that looked to be from the 1950s. "Hi, what can I do… for… you…" Niffy asked as her eyes trailed upward to see the devil hunter. "A Man!" She screams as she immediately hugs his leg.
"Whoa, hey there little lady." Dante was a bit surprised by the interaction and shakes his leg hoping to get her off him. As it reminded him of a small dog humping a human's leg. Luckily, she was not humping. "Is Charlie here?" He asked, hoping that the small cyclops would get off him and answer.
"Sure, I'll go get her." She got off him and shouted down the hall. "Charlie! There's a good-looking guy at the door who wants to see you!"
Footsteps were heard coming from the dining hall as Charlie approached with Alastor, Angel, Vaggie, and Husker close behind.
"Niffy, who's asking for me?" Charlie asked as she approached the Cyclops.
"That guy." She pointed as everyone was looking at the demon hunter at the doorway.
Charlie gasped as she knew this guy must be a client to try rehabilitation as she rushed to the door and opened it wide. "Hi, I'm Charlie, welcome to the Happ- I mean the Hazbin Hotel! You're going to love it here!" She smiled as she was overly excited to finally have a gust here.
Dante leaned back a little at how happy this girl was. But figured that she never had a guest here for a while or at all. He soon straightens himself up and allowed himself in. Unlike the exterior the interior needed some renovation as the paper was peeling, some windows were boarded up, and some furniture was sideways or flipped over. The place didn't look bad but needed to have some fixing up to do. "Seems like you need some fixing up to do."
"Well I renovated this place from my parents to make this hotel, but I am going to fix this place up." She told him as she just realized something. "Oh my gosh, how rude of me, I didn't get your name."
"Dante." He told her as he stretched out his hand.
"Well, Dante, I'm glad you're giving rehabilitation a chance." She shook his hand.
"Rehabilitation? Oh no, no, no. You misunderstand babe, I don't need any rehabilitation." He told her as her smile turned into a frown.
"Oh… well what are you here for?" Charlie asked the man in red.
"To kill demons." He said simply.
The air in the room got thin as everyone in the room was in dead silence until Vaggie rushes right in between her girlfriend and the demon hunter pointing her spear right at his chin. "If you think you're going to kill anyone in this hotel, you got another thing coming you Hijo de puta." (son of a bitch)
"Whoa easy there chica, you're going to hurt someone with that thing." Dante lightly puts his finger on the tip, gently pushes it to the side. "Besides, I'm not going to kill anyone in this hotel, unless they try to kill me first."
This got Charlie and her girlfriend confused. In fact, this got the rest of the staff confused. "So, if you're not here to be rehabilitated and your not here to kill us, what are you here for?"
"A place to crash till Hell is less overpopulated. Your mom suggested I stay here while I was talking with your dad about the overpopulation problem." Dante told her as he sat on the couch. "After all, hunting down demons is my job."
"My mom suggested you stay here. You were talking with my dad about the overpopulation problem? Demon hunting, is your job? I'm sorry, but this is hard to keep up with, can you explain everything from the beginning?" Charlie pleaded with the demon hunter as she rubbed her temple.
"Sure babe, but can I have a beer or something first? I'm feeling kinda parched." He asked her as the cat demon with wings tosses him a bottle.
"Here, that's all we fucking have, so no bitching about it later," Husker said as he took a swung of his own bottle.
Dante looked at the bottle as it had the words cheap booze on the label, groaned about the brand, but took a sip of the liquid. "Alright where to begin. I guess I should start with who I am. Like I said, my name is Dante and I'm a half-demon."
"A half-demon? There's such thing?" Angel asked getting curious. "So, was it a human who fucked a demon, or was it a demon who fucked a human." That is until Alastor hit the spider demon on the head with his cane. "Ow, Al what the fuck was that for!?"
"Remember what you said earlier, if we get a guest at this hotel you stop making sex puns for the entire day?" Alastor reminded him.
"Dammit." Angel snapped his fingers as he shouldn't have made that bet.
"If your that curious it was the latter. In fact, you probably know my dad. The Hell Knight Sparda." Dante told them. Those last four words nearly got everyone to be in shock. Vaggie stood like a statue in utter shock as she started to mutter in Spanish. Alastor's signature smile lessen into a small smirk as his left eye twitch. Husker was so shocked that he dropped his bottle of booze on the floor. Niffy was hunched over as her jaw dropped, Angel Dust look confused as to what's the big deal. But Charlie however was smiling so big that she might have stretched her cheeks.
"Your dad is Sparda?! The Hell Knight Sparda!?" Charlie asked excitedly as she was bouncing off the balls of her feet. The demon hunter simply nodded as she squeals like a dolphin. "Your dad is someone I idolize a lot. But dad only told me he stayed in the human world to fight off the demons that escaped hell to rife havoc and such."
"Well let me fill you in on the rest. But fair warning, it gets a little sad at the end." He took another sip of his drink. "Somewhere during the mid to late 20th century my father met and fell in love with a woman named Eva and had me and my twin brother, Vergil. After that, he somehow disappeared and died. After his death, some of Mundus' goons find our manor and destroyed the house and killing my mother." He said in a more serious tone as he gripped the bottle. "And that's all I have to say for now."
"Wow, that was sad at the end," Niffy said as everyone nodded in agreement.
As the demon hunter finished his tale Charlie walked up to him and saw tears in her eyes as she was embarrassing him. "I am so sorry that happened to your mother! It must have been extremely hard to lose her and not have your dad around."
This was a surprise to Dante as the Princess of Hell was crying for him. The only thing he could think of is pat her back and tell her something positive. "Hey, it's okay princess, I'm sure she's been watching over me with my father in Heaven."
Suddenly Charlie stopped her crying as the words sank into her head. "Wait, what did you say?"
"That my mother is watching over me with my father in Heaven?" Dante repeated.
"Say those last four words again," Charlie told him.
"My father in Heaven?" Dante asked. "What did I say something wrong?"
"Your fathers in Heaven. Your father is in Heaven." Charlie repeated as that smile was returning to her face.
"Uh oh," Angel said as he had a feeling what this was going to lead to.
"I was right!" She screamed at the top of her lungs very happily. "A demon can be redeemed and go into Heaven. And not just any demon, but the Hell Knight Sparda or should I say, the Archangel Sparda, this is the best day of my life!" She hugged Dante even tighter. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Am I missing something here?" Dante asked the others as Charlie was still hugging him.
"Allow me to explain my dear fellow." Alastor chimed in. "You see our dear princess here wants to reduce the overpopulation problem by rehabilitating sinner and sending them into heaven instead of angels who are called Executioner descend into heaven and kill these so-called sinners to reduce the overpopulation. That's why she built this hotel, hoping to see that her dream becomes a reality. Many of us think that redemption is a lost cause, but here you come along being the son of Sparda and giving hope her some hope and proving us wrong."
"I see." He looks at Charlie was still hugging him. "Can you loosen your grip a little?"
"Oh sorry." Charlie let go of him as she stood right back up, feeling a little embarrassed. "So, you're here because my dad hired you to reduce the population in Hell?"
"Yep, and I would get paid for how many I kill and who I kill," Dante told her. "And your mom thought it would be a good idea for me to stay at your hotel if you'll have me that is?"
"Well, you are the son of Sparda, but you hunt other demons. So, I don't know." Charlie thought through this. "What are your thoughts of redemption? Do you think it's possible to rehabilitate any other demons like your father?"
"Yeah, it's possible. It's hard but possible." He told her as he finishes off his beer. "I know three other demons on earth that are not bad. But it also depends if they want to be redeemed or not. So how about this babe. I only kill demons out of self-defense or that is a real threat down here and the ones that are not too bad I spare and tell them about your hotel. In exchange, I crash at your place, sound like a fair deal?"
Charlie thought about it and approached the demon hunter. "Okay, deal but only if they are a real threat and self-defense only. Cause I think every demon has some good in them and I still hold stern to my beliefs." She told him as they shook hands.
"Fair enough, now how about we celebrate," Dante told her.
"Good idea. Let's make some lunch." She was about to go to the kitchen but was stopped by the demon hunter.
"Actually, I have a better idea." He told her as he went to the office phone, dialed a number, and waited till someone picked up. "Yeah pizza delivery, I'll have three large pizzas, one regular, one meat lover, and one everything but olives on it."
That's where we are going to end the mission here folks. Hope you enjoyed it. And remember to leave a review and give me an answer to the question on top. Till Next time.
