A/N: I have added links to the songs used if you whish to here them. Apologies if you find any errors in the story.
Present:
It had come again like every year before, extermination day or the purge. Watching the city from a darkened room was non-other then the princess of hell Charlotte "Charlie" Morningstar. Beside her stood Vagatha or Vaggie as called by said princess. Both watched the ensuing chaos within Pentagram city.
Within said city a battle was taking place between one lone individual and the exterminators that had come to slaughter the denizens of hell. This figure was David who had taken it upon himself to fight the exterminators every year since his arrival. This had earned him the title of the "angel slayer". However throughout each confrontation he would eventually gain serious injuries. Currently he bore such injuries as some of exterminators had been lucky enough to slash at parts of his body.
Two exterminators were charging full speed at the armored fighter. Sadly for them he was ready with both arm blades. Once they had gotten close enough he slashed at the two angels cutting both in half. As he stood over the now dead angels he saw another group heading towards him. So far he had managed to kill a good hundred or so exterminators, but do to his injuries he was losing blood and the armor's regeneration wasn't exactly fast. But just as the group neared the sound of a bell chime was heard all throughout the city.
David soon began to watch as the exterminators began to return to heaven. As they left David fell to his knees trying to catch his breath and not succumb to the pain he was now feeling. It wasn't long till some of the denizens began coming from their hiding spots. David stood back up and began to leave the location. As he walked David clutched at one of his injuries. Soon enough he heard cheers of the survivors of yet another purge and saw some scavenging some of the weapons left behind by the now deceased angels. He sighed and began to wander to anywhere he could rest and fully heal his injuries.
Standing atop a balcony, Charlie with a sadden look watched as the clock tower reset it's time.
Time skip:
About an hour had passed since the end of the purge and everything had returned to whatever is counted as normal in hell. Walking among the crowds was a masked man with ashen grey skin who was making his way to the news station. As he was walking he spotted a fire ball making it's way to the ground. Once it hit it was revealed to be a sinner who had just arrived.
Sinner: *groans* I'm alive? I'm ali-
Said sinner was soon ran over by an oncoming car. The masked man chuckled at the misfortune of the new addition to hell. He then saw the car stop and a familiar spider demon stepped out. The man couldn't help but overhear the conversation between said demon and driver.
Travis: Thanks for the fun time, Hot stuff!
Angel: Yeah, yeah, listen, keep this discreet ya hear me? I can't let it get out I'm offerin' my services to randos in the street! It was a quick cash grab... Ya got it?
Travis: Pfft! Whatever you say, slut!
As he laughed he didn't notice a certain figure walk up to the two. Angel on the other hand had a smirk plastered to his face.
???: Now that's no way to talk to someone like Angel. I'm the only one who gets to insult him.
Travis turns and immediately goes pale when he sees who it was.
Travis: D-David. I-it's been awhile.
Behind his mask David had a large smirk at the reaction.
David: Indeed. Now I believe you two were finishing up.
Travis turns back to Angel Dust who feigned being hurt.
Angel: Ouch! Ooh! Such an insult! Let me know when you come up with something creative to call me, you sack of poorly packaged horse shit!
This earned a laugh from David while Travis just looked peeved. David turned his head for moment seeing if there were any more cars coming. Once he turned back Travis sped off. Once Travis's car was gone the two walked over to a vending machine.
David: And here I thought you were getting clean.
Angel: I think I've earned something for my good behavior.
David: I have no problem when it comes to indulging. But you know how her highness gets when it comes to letting loose.
Angel Dust then buys a bag of his name sake. Sadly for him a random sinner runs up and nabs his drugs.
Sinner: Yoink!
Angel: Hey!
Before the sinner got far he was yanked by his hood and fell on his back. He was then met with the person who had pulled him back. David placed his boot on the sinner with enough force to almost crush his ribs.
David: You have two options here birdbrain, either you give back that bag or you lose the function of your lungs.
To emphasize his warning David pushed his boot further down on the sinner. The sinner then raised his arm with the bag up and Angel snatched the bag of drugs from the struggling sinner.
David: Good. Now fuck off!
He raised his foot off the sinner who bolted away from the two.
Angel: My knight in shining armor.
Before David could retort the two heard explosions going off and looked to see the cause. Y/n could only sigh as he saw a familiar blimp attack a portion of the city.
Angel: So ya up for a little action?
David: Sadly your on your own on this one. I unfortunately have to make sure her highness doesn't botch the interview.
Angel: Your actually going to that?
David: In case you forgot, I'm her bodyguard.
He then proceeded to activate his armor.
Angel: Right right, your just doing your job.
David: Now don't be like that. Tell you what, if things get too heavy I'll tap in. Besides, better to let you and Cherri have most of the fun.
He then began to levitate off the ground. Once he was high enough he began to head once again to the news station.
666 News Station:
At the station Charlie and Vaggie were preparing for the interview. As they were going over what Charlie was going to talk about a report of a turf war was going on.
Katie Killjoy: Good afternoon, I'm Katie Killjoy.
Tom Trench: And I'm Tom Trench! Chaos out at Pentagram city a turf war is raging on the west side!
Soon two images popped up. One was a black and yellow snake demon who wore a top hat. The other was a cyclops demon who wore an 80's punk attire giving who ever took the picture the finger.
Tom: Between notable kingpin, Sir Pentious and self proclaimed spunky powerhouse, Cherri Bomb!
Katie: That's right Tom, After the recent extermination many areas are now up for grabs. Demons all over hell are already duking it out to gain new territory.
Tom: Those two seem to really be going at it.
Katie: Looks like they're fighting tooth and nail for that hotspot.
Tom: And I'd sure like to nail her hotspot, Ho ho!
Katie: Haha, You are a limpdick jackass Tom! Or should I say *pours scolding hot coffee on to Tom's lap* no dick?
Tom immediately curled up in pain.
Tom*groans in pain* Not again!
Soon an image of Charlie appeared as Tom tried to ease the burning pain.
Katie: Coming up next, we have an exclusive interview with the daughter of Hell's own head honcho who's here to discuss her passion project! All and more, After the break!
Katie then turns to Tom who was still in pain after destroying her coffee mug.
Katie: Suck it up, you little bi--.
The news cast was swiftly cut to commercial.
Outside the station David had arrived and began to make his way to where Charlie and Vaggie were. As he walked the hall of the station he couldn't help but feel like things aren't going to go well.
Within the waiting area Vaggie was helping Charlie straighten her tie.
Vaggie: Ok, you remember what to say?
Charlie: Yes! Let's do this!
Vaggie: Ok, just look at me and I'll mouth it to you.
Just then the door to the waiting area opened. Standing in the door frame was David who was currently looking at a terrified sinner.
David: The next time someone asks you where something is, you better tell them where it is!
Said sinner began to run as far away as possible from their possible demise.
Charlie: David you made it!
David: Wouldn't want to miss this kid. Besides someone has to watch your back.
David then hears Vaggie clear her throat getting his attention.
David: Ok, someone who's better skilled.
This earns an irritated look from Vaggie. David only smirked under his helmet at seeing Vaggie's face.
Vaggie: This is serious!
David: Relax, there's nothing wrong with trying to ease the tension. Alright kid you got everything prepared?
Charlie: Yes but I was thinking we make things more exciting. *Gasps* What if I-
David Vaggie: Sing a song about it?
Charlie: You both knew I was going to say that! *she proceeds to boop Vaggie's nose*
Vaggie: That's because we know you. But please don't sing this is serious.
David: She's right kid.
Charlie then stood on top of a table with Razzle and Dazzle just watched while munching on some donuts.
Charlie: Well you guys know I'm better at expressing myself and my goals through song.
Vaggie: But life isn't a musical.
Charlie: Fine, but I have these other ideas, I highlighted the best parts.
She then shows both David and Vaggie the paper.
David: You highlighted everything, even the title.
Vaggie looks closer at the paper.
Vaggie: Is this a drawing?
Charlie: It's the happy ending where everyone is happy and smiling in heaven.
David could only sigh at Charlie's child like behavior.
David: I highly doubt it's that simple.
Vaggie: Just please follow the talking points we went over. And do. Not. Sing!
Charlie: Ok, fine I'll just have to resort to my impeccable improve skills!
David: Yeah, your not going alone.
Charlie Vaggie: What?!
David: Did you forget what my job is. Besides, no way in here am I letting Killjoy pull her crap.
Charlie: You don't have to come along, I'll be fine.
David: Sorry kid, but I wouldn't be doing my job if I don't go in with you.
Charlie relented and the two went to do the interview. The two walked up to Katie who was finishing a cigarette. David looks to Charlie and sees her become nervous.
Charlie: Hii, I'm Charlie.
Charlie proceeded to offer a handshake to the reporter.
Katie: Katie Killjoy, I'd say it's a pleasure-
She was soon interrupted.
David: The next words out of you better be something pleasant Killjoy.
Katie immediately turned to David and went from a cold demeanor to a slightly friendly one.
Katie: Well isn't this a pleasant surprise. And what brings the angel slayer back to our station?
David: Oh you know, Helping my fellow denizens of Hell and ensuring everyone has a miserable existence.
Katie looked him over and imagined him without his armor and covered in battle scars.
David: Now, we know your a busy woman and that you have a lot of other things to report on. So why don't we get this over as quick as possible. Just pretend I'm not even here.
Katie: Very well, but you owe me for this.
Katie began to walk back to her seat.
Charlie: So you two know each other?
David: You don't remember the interview I did a while back?
Before either continued their conversation they heard the voice of the cameraman.
Cameraman: We're live!
Both Charlie and David sat on the guest couch.
Katie: Welcome back! So, Charlotte!
Charlie: It's... Charlie.
Katie: Whatever. Tell us about this new passion project you've been insistently pestering our news station about!
Charlie looked over to Vaggie who told her to continue and Y/n just nodded to her.
Charlie: As most of you know, I was born here in Hell and growing up, I always tried to see the good in everyone around me. Hell is my home and you are my people. We... we just went through another extermination.
Under his helmet Y/n smiled proudly reminiscing over his latest battle. Vaggie proceeded to give Charlie two thumbs up. However Killjoy had shown complete lack of interest save for the memory of seeing Y/n's fight with the exterminators.
Charlie: We lost many souls, and it's breaks my heart to see my people being slaughtered every year. No one is even given a chance! I can't stand idly by while the place I live is subjected to such violence! So, I've been thinking: Isn't there a more humane way to hinder the overpopulation here in Hell? Perhaps we can create an alternative way to change souls through... redemption? Well, I think yes! So what this project aims to achieve! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm opening the of it's kind! A hotel that rehabilitates sinners!
Charlie soon loses her confidence through the deafening silence of the audience.
Charlie: Y'hnow? Cause hotels are for people passin through... temporarily...
The audience showed no sign of being happy or excited for her idea. Sadly for Charlie the few responses she got were less then positive.
Charlie: I think it'll serve a purpose... a place to work towards redemption... yay...!
As expected from some of the denizens of Hell they gave their thoughts on her idea.
Cameraman: *snickers* Stupid bit-
He sadly never got to finish as a orange beam went through his skull. David then looked to Tom and Katie.
David: I do hope you have more of those.
Charlie: Look, every single one of you has something good, deep down inside. I know you do! ...Maybe I'm not getting through to you.
Immediately David sighed and knew what was about to happen. Like David Vaggie was also alerted to what Charlie was about to do.
Vaggie: Oh no.
Charlie snaps her fingers and a piano appears. Razzle and Dazzle soon appeared to back her up as the song begins.
https/watch?v=ZWrM-eDxTas
Once the song concluded Charlie stood exhausted. However everyone within the station looked both with disgust and disbelief.
Random demon: Wow! ...That was shit!
Everyone in the audience including Katie and Tom began to laugh at Charlie. Charlie looked crushed and devastated by the reaction and slumped down in the couch. Unaware to everyone David's blood was boiling as he let them continue. Then came the moment that would set him off. There was a boo section in the station with most of the demons looking uninterested.
Random demon2: Boo.
David slowly rose up and as the audience continued to laugh they didn't notice him reaching for his chest plates. The moment he opened his chest plates the laughter died as the sound of energy being gathered replaced it. The audience had no time to run or scream as they were erased by David's mega-smasher.
What was left was a massive gaping hole leading into the station. David turned to the still standing camera and saw the demon next to it shaking out of fear.
David: Let that be a warning to any who disrespects the royal family.
He turned to see a shocked Charlie. Seeing this David couldn't help but sigh and began to walk out.
Time skip:
Within Charlie's limousine sat the trio in silence. As David had known the interview was a failure and it really got to Charlie as she was hugging her knees in depression. Vaggie on the other hand was aggrieved. It was about a good few minutes till they picked up a certain spider from the aftermath of the turf war.
Throughout the quiet ride Angel couldn't help but mess with the window switch. David kept his eyes on Vaggie as she glared at Angel who was trying to alleviate the boredom. Angel then took notice of Vaggie glaring at him.
Angel: What?
Vaggie: What? What?! What were you two thinking!
David rolled his eyes as he knew this was going to happen.
Angel: *sigh* I owed my girl buddy a solid! Isn't that a redeeming quality? Helping friends with stuff?
Vaggie: Not with turf wars that result in territorial genocide!
Angel: Eh, you win some, you lose a few hundred.
He laughs and continues to play with the window switch.
Angel: It wasn't that bad anyway.
Vaggie throws a knife in Angel's direction only for it to get caught by David.
David: Cool your jets Vaggie.
Vaggie: And your no better!
David: Watch it Vaggie, I'm not proud about what I did but something had to be done.
Vaggie: By blasting the audience into oblivion. We're trying to prevent more needless deaths not-
David throws Vaggie's knife between her feet stopping her before she said anything else.
David: Enough, now is not the time. I'm not in the best of moods for anyone's bullshit.
After hearing the anger in his voice Vaggie just crosses her arms. Charlie only pulls her knees closer as she is partly to blame for David's mood. After he left the station Charlie had gotten into a fight with Katie Killjoy which resulted in not only her being no longer welcomed at the news station but disappointing the one person she saw as a older sibling despite their age difference.
Angel while still trying to alleviate his boredom began to look around the limousine for any alcohol.
Angel: This thing have any liquor?
To prevent anymore arguments between Vaggie and Angel, David pulls a flask from his back pocket and gives it to Angel.
Angel: Thanks, I still owe you from before.
Vaggie: Can you just try to take this seriously.
Angel: Fine, I'll try. Just don't get your taco in a twist, baby!
He then takes a sip from Y/n's flask.
Vaggie: Was that you trying to be sexist or racist?!
Angel: *sighs* Whatever pisses you off more.
David could only shake his head as he could only watch the two squabble.
Vaggie: I'm gonna kill'em.
David: No you're not. And if you two don't quit it I'm making you both walk to the hotel.
This gets them to stop squabbling for the time being. It wasn't long till they arrived at their destination. David stepped out of the limousine and went to open Charlie's door.
Once inside Charlie slumped on the couch while Angel rummaged through the broken fridge. David meanwhile just leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. Angel managed to find a box of half melted popsicles. He then walked over to a sad Charlie and thought about making a joke to try and cheer her up.
Angel: Eh, it's probably a good idea to get some actual food in this place. Y'hnow for all the wayward souls you got in here!
He laughs for a bit only to get depressed when he sees Charlie doesn't laugh. Charlie soon gets up and walks outside with her hellphone.
As Charlie was outside David just proceeded to head to one of the rooms.
Angel: Hey David, where ya going?
David: What does it look like, I'm going for nap.
He then leaves Vaggie and Angel Dust alone in the lobby. David managed to find a room to pass out in. However the room he picked was right above where Charlie stood and he could hear her conversation from the window.
Charlie: *sighs* Hey, mom. I know I keep calling and you must be busy... Really busy... But, um, the interview didn't go well. And... I don't know if I'm ever going to make a difference. I don't know what I'm doing. I could really use some advise, mom. I... I think dad was right about me... Ahah, oof, eh, anyway... I'll stop talking before this gets long. Love you, bye.
She then hangs up her phone and began crying. This scene was painful to watch as it brought some painful memories. He then decided to climb out the window and make his way down. Once he landed on the ground he sat next to Charlie. She was little surprised by his sudden appearance but welcomed it.
David: I'm sorry kid.
Charlie: F-for what?
David: For how things went today. But don't let what happened today get to you. If there is any advice I could give is this. Never give up.
David wipes away some of her tears.
David: You are Charlotte Morningstar, princess of Hell. Never let anyone try to bring you down and never give up on your dreams.
This brought a smile to Charlie and she gave David a hug.
Charlie: Thank you.
David: Glad I could help. Now that that's out of the way I think I'll go find a bed to fall face first in.
The two walked back in to the hotel. But before they could get any further a silhouette appeared behind them. And they soon heard a knock.
Charlie: I'll get it.
David didn't argue and continued back to the room he was about to rest in. Once he was inside he felt his phone vibrate and went to check what it was. It was a message from his other boss, an imp named Blitza. Roughly a few years prior David felt like getting a side gig which eventually led to him meeting Blitza and her organization I.M.P.
The message was telling him about an upcoming meeting. Once he was done reading the message he put his phone away and fell onto the bed. The bed wasn't that comfortable but do to his line of work he didn't care. As he began to slowly drift to sleep he couldn't help but feel like something was off. This was sadly true as he heard the unmistakable voice of the radio demon outside his window.
In the lobby Charlie was standing before Alastor.
Alastor: May I speak now?
Charlie: You may.
Alastor: Alastor! Pleasure to be meeting you, sweetheart! Quite a pleasure! Excuse my sudden visit, but I saw your fiasco on the picture show and I just couldn't resist. What a performance! Why, I haven't been that entertained since the stock market crash of 1929, hahaha... So many orphans.
Vaggie was about to get her harpoon ready until she heard a humming sound. She looked to where it was coming from and saw David in his armor with both arm blades at the ready.
David: You have some serious balls showing your face here!
Angel: You know him?
David: Know him? I was sent to kill him once!
Alastor: Ah good to see you as well David. Shame we can't continue where we left off!
David was about to make a move when Charlie stepped in front of him.
Charlie: David stop!
David: Your defending him?!
Charlie: No, but I want to hear what he has to say and why he is here.
David: You can-
Charlie: David that's an order!
David was taken aback and with a heavy sigh both his arm blades returned to their usual state. He then looks at Alastor.
David: You try any of your bullshit Alastor and I'll send your head to Lucifer.
Charlie then turns back to Alastor.
Charlie: Now then, Why are you here?
Alastor: I'm here because I want to help!
This got a confused look from both Charlie and Vaggie. David only scoffed as he leaned against the wall.
Charlie: Say what now?
Alastor: Help! *tests the mic on his cane* Hello is this thing on? Testing, testing?
Mic: Well I heard you loud and clear!
Charlie was still confused
Charlie: Um, you want to help? With...?
Alastor: This ridiculous thing you're trying to do! This hotel! I want to help you run it.
Charlie: But... why?
Alastor: Hahaha! Why does anyone do anything? Sheer, absolute boredom! I've lacked inspiration for decades. My work became mundane, lacking focus, aimless! I've come to crave a new form of entertainment! Hahaha!
Charlie: Does getting into a fistfight with a reporter count as entertainment...?
David: Actually yes, yes it does.
Alastor: Hahaha! It's the purest kind, my dear. Reality! True passion! After all, the world is a stage. And a stage is a world of entertainment.
Charlie: So does this mean you think it's possible to rehabilitate demons?
Alastor only laughs.
Alastor: Of course not! That's wacky nonsense! Redemption, oh the non-existent humanity! No no no no, I don't think there's anything left that could save such loathsome sinners!
As he says this he gestures towards both Vaggie and Angel Dust. The latter of whom just shrugs while Vaggie looks offended by Alastor.
Alastor: The chance given was the life they lived before, the punishment is this!
Alastor then spreads his arms out gesturing to all of Hell.
Alastor: There is no undoing what is done!
Charlie: So then, why do you want to help me if you don't believe in my cause?
Alastor: Consider it an investment in ongoing entertainment for myself! I want to watch the scum of the world struggle to climb up the hill of betterment! Only to repeatedly trip, and tumble down to the fiery pit of failure!
As Charlie and Alastor continue their discussion, Angel looks over to Vaggie.
Angel: Uh, so...uh, what's the deal with smiles over there?
Vaggie: Wait, you never heard of him before? You've been here longer then me!
Angel Dust just shrugs.
Vaggie: The Radio demon. One of the most powerful beings Hell has ever seen?
David clears his throat.
Vaggie: I said one of.
Angel: Eh, not big on politics.
Vaggie: Ugh! Decades ago, Alastor manifested in Hell, seemingly overnight. He began to topple overlords that have been dominant for centuries, that kind of raw power had never been harnessed by a mortal soul before, then he'd broadcast his carnage all throughout Hell just so everyone could witness his ability. Sinners started calling him "The Radio Demon" - as lazy as that is - many have speculated what unimaginable force enabled him to rival our world's most ancient and destructive evils, but one thing's for sure: he's an unpredictable source of danger, a wicked spirit of mystery and a violent monster of chaos the likes of which we can't risk getting involved with unless we want to end up erased!
Angel: Ya done? He looks like a strawberry pimp.
Vaggie: Well, I don't trust him.
Angel: Do you trust any man? Any men? Men?
Vaggie only glared at Angel Dust. Charlie walked over to the trio as Alastor watched with amusement. Vaggie then grabs Charlie by the shoulder.
Vaggie: Charlie, listen to me. You can't believe this creep! He isn't a happy face! He's a deal maker! Pure evil! He can't be redeemed! ...And is most likely looking for a way to destroy everything we're trying to do!
Charlie: I... *sighs* we don't know that! Look I know he's bad, and I know he probably doesn't want to change, but the whole point of this is to give people a chance! Besides we have David around if he tries to cause any trouble.
Both Vaggie and Charlie looked to where Alastor was standing and saw him inspecting one of the portraits. The portrait was of one with Charlie and her parents.
David: I would advise caution Charlie. Out of most of the overlords he's the only one to actually keep me on my toes. But if you wish for him to stay that's your decision, and I can see some benefit to having him here.
Charlie smiled that David was somewhat willing to give Alastor a chance. She then turned to Vaggie for her thought on the matter.
Vaggie: I'm sorry but I feel you shouldn't do this Charlie.
Charlie: But I can't do that Vaggie, it goes against everything I'm trying to build. Everything I'm trying to do. Everything I believe in, just... trust me. I can take care of myself!
Vaggie: Fine... but whatever you do, do NOT make a deal with him Charlie, okay?
Charlie: Don't worry, I picked up one thing from my dad!
David: Don't take shit from other demons.
Charlie: Exactly!
Charlie then went back over to Alastor.
Charlie: So, Al. You're sketchy as fuck and you clearly see what I'm trying to do as a joke.
Once she turns from Alastor he is surrounded by a red aura. But it soon disappears when she turns back to him.
Charlie: But I don't. I think everyone deserves a chance to prove they can be better. So I'm taking your offer to help. On the condition that there be no... tricks or voodoo strings attached.
Alastor rolled his eyes at the last statement, with a twirl of his can he then presents his hand for a handshake only for his hand to bursts into a green energy.
Alastor: So, it's a deal then?
Charlie: Nope! No shaking! No deals! I... hmm... As princess of Hell and heir to the throne, I, uh, hereby order that you help with this hotel. For as long as you desire.
The group heard a random howl from seemingly out of nowhere. She then looked over to Vaggie and David for approval. Vaggie didn't look convinced while David had his arms crossed.
Charlie: Sounds fair?
Alastor: Hmm... Fair enough!
Charlie: Cool beans!
Alastor then turned his attention to Vaggie who was obviously displeased with the ordeal.
Alastor: Smile, my dear! You know, you're never fully dressed without one!
Vaggie only glared at him as he walked away. Alastor then looked around the hotel's lobby.
Alastor: So, where is your hotel staff?
Charlie: Uhh... well.
Both Alastor and Charlie then looked over to the trio standing nearby.
Alastor: Ohohoh, you going to need more then that.
Alastor walks up to Angel Dust first.
Alastor: And what can you do, my effeminate fellow?
Angel: I can suck ya dick!
David tries to stifle a laugh as he sees Alastor have a moment of shock a kin to a mini stroke.
Alastor: Hah! No.
Angel: Your lose.
He then turns to the person who was ready to remove his head moments ago.
Alastor: And what about you, my bloodthirsty friend!
David: Simple, I'm head of hotel security. And we aren't friends.
Alastor: Well, this just won't do! I suppose I can cash in a few favors to liven things up.
Alastor snapped his fingers and the once old and damaged fire place was replaced by a new and clean fire place. He approaches the fire place as something was moving within. Once he was in front of the fire place he picked up the soot cover creature. Once lifted in the air it opened it's eye and looked at the group. Alastor shook the soot off of the person he had summoned.
Alastor: This little darling here is Niffty!
Alastor then dropped the small sinner.
Niffty: Hi I'm Niffty! It's nice to meet you! It's been a while since I've made new friends! Why are you all-
She then took notice of David who stood next to Vaggie.
Niffty: A MAN!
She then proceeded to run up David and embraced his armored head.
David: Never had this reaction before.
Charlie giggled at the sight of David in armor being hugged by the small demon.
Alastor: *clears his throat* Niffty dear!
Niffty: Oh sorry that's rude! This place is filthy! It really needs a lady's touch! Which is weird because you're all ladies, no offense. Except ummm...
David: David, it's nice to meet you Niffty.
This caused the small sinner to blush. She then began to dust the hotel's lobby, even stabbing a random bug that appeared from a crack in the floor.
???: Read 'em and weep, boys. Full Ho-oooooh-tel? What the fuck is this?
The new arrival looks around and spots Alastor.
???: You!
David: I like him already.
Alastor: Ah Husker, my good friend! Glad you could make it!
Husk: Don't you Husker me, you son of a bitch! I was about to win the whole dame pot!
He looks back at the blackjack table with his winnings disappear.
Alastor: Good to see you too!
Husk: What the hell do you want with me this time...?
Alastor: My friend, I'm doing some charity work so I took it upon myself to volunteer your services! I hope that's okay!
Husk: Are you shittin me?!
Alastor: Hmm... no, I don't think so!
Husk: You thought it'd be some kind of big fucking riot just to pull me out of nowhere?! You think I'm some kind of fucking clown?!
Alastor: Maybe!
Husk: I ain't doing no fucking charity job.
Alastor: Well, I figured you would be the perfect face to man the front desk of this fine establishment! With your charming smile and welcoming energy, this job was made for you! Don't worry my friend, I can make this more welcoming! ...if you wish.
Alastor then summons a bottle of cheap booze.
Husk: What? You think you can buy me with a wink and some cheap booze?! Well, you can!
Vaggie: Hey, Hey! Hey, hey, hey! No! No bar, no alcohol! This is supposed to be a place that discourages sin! Not some of kind of mouth, brothel, man cave!
At that moment David lifted Vaggie by the back of her dress.
David: Look, I understand what we're trying to do here. But we're keeping this, because if I don't have any alcohol I'll lose my temper a whole lot quicker.
He then dropped her and walked over to the bar with Angel Dust. Charlie took this time to greet the sphinx.
Charlie: Oh my gosh! Welcome to the happy hotel! Your going to love it here!
Husk: I lost the ability to love long ago.
Husk proceeds to down the bottle of cheap booze.
Alastor: So, whaddaya think?
Charlie: This is amazing!
Vaggie: It's...ok.
David: The more the merrier.
Alastor: Hahaha! This is going to be very entertaining!
Alastor proceeded to summon a fireball and launched it to the ceiling of the hotel.

Sadly the happy moment was ended via the hotel doors exploding. The group looked through where the doors used to be only to see Sir Pentious's blimp.
David: And like that I have someone's ass to kick!
Sir Pentious: Hah well, well, well. Look who's harboring the striped freak! We meet yet again, Alastor!
Alastor: Do I know you?
This was a blow to the snake demon's ego.
Sir Pentious: Oh, yes you do! And this time, I have have the element of *pulls a lever* SURPRISE! Hahaha I'm so evil!
A large laser was then aimed at the group. As Alastor was about to take action but he was soon stopped by David.
David: Sorry, but as much as I'd like to see your handiwork this one's mine. Besides I need to let off some steam.
Alastor: Very well.
David then stepped a head of the group and cupped his hands. Within a matter of seconds a sphere of transparent energy was crated. He then launched the ball of energy at the weapon aimed at him and the group. Once it hit it's target the weapon was missing a massive chunk and sparks were flying.
David began to levitate with his arms crossed. Once he was in front of the blimp he got a good look at his target. And much like he did at the news station he opened his chest plates and began to gather energy. Seeing this Sir Pentious began to try and maneuver his blimp out of the way. Sadly it was futile as the beam tore through the blimp and caused it to explode.
Once it was done David made his decent back to the group. Once back on the ground he deactivated his armor.
Angel: Looks like we-
David: Wait for it.
And just as he said that Sir Pentious who miraculously survived the explosion crashed into the street.
David turned around and began to head back into the hotel so as to finally get some rest.
A/n: I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
