The Following is a work of Fanfiction
Dear Papa,
This is kind of strange writing a letter to you, but my therapists have insisted I start doing this to keep in touch. Charlie, my therapist, said it is a good way of expressing everything I am going through.
For a long while now, I have been living in Hell. And strangely reincarnated as a four foot cat. Most people would mistake me as a raccoon, fox, or even a raccoon fox, if there is such a thing.
Anyways, I wanted to give you an update for what I have been doing. For starters, I am an Overlord. Which is something I really wanted to discuss but I guess there will be another time. I know I shouldn't be taking any positions involving politics or even be a gang leader, but in Hell entitlement is permanent. But on the bright side, I can live however I want without even getting involved with the political issues or media status. Not many people know who I am, but they will soon once I tell them everything. Maybe even tonight since I'll be taking care of these Fallen- Exorcists- Exterminators- whatever the hell they wanted to be called.
Tonight, I'll be patrolling Pride when the sun is about to set. I won't be saving everyone, but at least they will all know that there is still hope for everyone. Down here in Hell, we live freely with punishments. We all have committed our sins, but at least they still have bits of humanity to live.
When you told me your final words, I really disbelieved in your advice. At my final hour, I have really died with everything. Money, Power, Women, I never wanted those things but I had to in order to survive. I thought that if this is my final hour I will accept my death with dishonor, and hope that I will forever live nowhere and all alone in darkness.
Turns out, I was wrong.
Everything that I thought I had was nothing. Until I was sent to Hell.
All the people I have encountered were not as bad as I had thought they would be. They have given me something I truly desire. These misfit assassins, an edgelord, Hazbin Demons, Goetia, and the most lovable demons in my life are what I truly desire.
Something I haven't gotten for a long, long, long time.
A family.
I learned that even despite all my worst outcomes, I have to appreciate life even more in the afterlife. Whether it be Heaven, Earth, or Hell, I can always make a difference and live however I please.
And that's the best part of living another life, I get to love again! No matter who I was in the past they accept me for who I am now!
For once, in different worlds, I love my life!
I love my job! I love my home! And most of all, I love my wives!
Oh yeah, I forgot, I'm married! We are doing our best to keep it together. Though, I never really expected my marriage to be polygamous.
And turns out I'm Pansexual!
I really love everyone! I love my new life! I love everything!
And there's nothing that can change that.
I don't know if you are here in Hell or in Heaven, but I know that you and Mama will always be in my heart.
I love you both so much.
-Your Son, Harvey Mayhew
"Hey, whatcha doing?" Coming from behind Hughes' study is Cherri who is very energetic.
"I'm writing a letter to my Papa…" Hughes told her. "I'm telling him how lucky I am to have you." Cherri blushed from Hughes.
"Oh really?" Verosika snapped the cat's neck to her. "And what about us?" Verosika feeling envious in teasing matters.
"Of course all of you!" Hughes hugged the two of them.
"My god, you need to stop spoiling these two." Octavia acts maturely until the pretty spider given everyone a group hug.
"Honey, it's not his fault for loving us." Angel and everyone giggled.
Hughes laughed with everyone until he looked at the clock. All of them looked at the time and where it landed. Only one hour left for the next cleansing. They all let go and let Hughes take his leave. However, they all stopped him for doing something unnecessary.
"You don't have to do this…" Octavia grabbed Hughes. "Overlords are forbidden to interfere with the cleansing." Octavia worried for her husband to leave.
"... I know it's not right for me, but if I stay behind then how can everyone believe that they can live their life peacefully." Hughes explained to his girls. "But then it just goes against what I believe. I don't want to be the only one who gets to live a lifestyle so easily. I want everyone to know that someone out there really gives a damn about them." Hughes does not want to be guilty for hypocrisy.
Hughes kissed Octavia goodbye for now as he waltzed out.
"Don't worry," Angel being the big sister of the group. "Smalls is going to be okay, Via. Have faith in him, bene?" Angel being so casual to Octavia.
All four of them have agreed that Hughes will be taking care of the cleansing alone. Even though there are a bunch of badass demons, just once Hughes wants his wives being safe for the year.
"... How are you not a girl?" Octavia asked the former pornstar.
"Shut up, and join us for drinks." Angel laughed at the comment.
He and Octavia joined the group and drank for a little while before enjoying the night of their lives.
Pentagram City- The Cleansing
Everyone started to hide as much as possible.
In the shadows, all cannibals, imps, and Sinners hide for shelter.
Entering the road were all Exterminators ready to begin their purge. However, there is one specific Exterminator who is tempted for a Sinner.
"I've been hearing rumors from the Heavens that there is a Sinner who granted Overlord!" He announced loudly. "If you are the so-called Hero of Cleansing, then show yourself! Face me! And accept your death for all the infamous acts you have bestowed on my fellow men!"
"And Women-"
"Shut up!" The Leader said punching his soldier. "Exterminate all this trash!" The Exterminator said having all them attacking every demon.
Men, Women, and children begin to scream out of fear and death.
Suddenly, one child came out preparing for her death along with her "Thing" plushie.
"Oh~ So you dare to face death, child?" The Exterminator brought out his Holy Pistol directly at the child.
The child used her Thing as a protection to fight off the bullet.
After the gunshot, the kid had disappeared.
In front of her was a gentleman.
A gentleman who had taken a bullet easily without a scratch.
"... You're here." She said happily.
"Sorry, I had to bring some friends." The suited cat smiled.
There were gunshots coming from the demon cat's side killing off Exterminators. Ferocious imps stepped in with Holy weapons of their own. Mostly, created by Lyle Lipton and Loopty corpse of all Exterminators from the last cleansing.
"You really got us pumped for this Hughes," Blitz ready to release rampage. "I am gonna fuck these Exterminators off!"
"That's what she said." Loona laughed.
"Said who-? Who the fuck is innuedo me!?" Blitz asks angrily and shoots the next exterminator.
"I really don't think we should do this." Moxxie seeing a regrettable choice.
"Don't worry, Moxxie, I got your back. Always!" Millie kissed Moxxie for luck.
"Now, get going." Hughes smiled at the kid.
Hughes, Blitz, Loona, Moxxie, and Millie, all four of them are ready to kill these bitches. Along with more backup.
"What's more enthusing than a demon's cry is an Exorcist!" The Radio Demon said in a sinister tone.
"Once this is over, you're next, Alastor!" Sir Pentious declared his hit.
"... Who are you again?" Alastor asked with a laughing audience.
"Seriously! After all these years, you still don't know me!? We literally worked for a while!" Sir Pentious angered.
"Hahaha! Usually it is my victims I forget!"
"Is that a threat!?"
"Can we focus!" Moxxie asked.
"Yeah, we have already said our resolutions for next year, and I want to live to see it! So let's fuck these fuckers up!" Blitz gave a pep talk of the final year.
Everyone smiled for all the declarations for next year.
Hughes is as happy as he wants to be.
"Alright!" Hughes grabbed a microphone. "Put your spear down, and hands in the air! I want us to have a free conversation, and make peace! So do as I say, and then you can live!"
"Never!" The exterminator denies the offer. "I will kill every demon that stands in my way! Starting with you!"
"... Alright then! You guys heard him!" Hughes and the gang prepare for war. Imps, Overlords, and Sinners, together they face off an entire army of Exterminators.
Aftermath
The sun was rising from the horizon.
In front of the whole group were piles of corpses of the Exterminators. Hughes, I.m.p, Alastor, and Sir Pentious stand on the piles laughing their energetic asses. It was the best night for all of them. It was the greatest declaration these guys have ever done. Hughes looked at the crew and could stop putting a smile on his face. It was this past year he had gone through that really has lifted off his chest. In front of him really is what he ever wanted. Nothing can really ever change that.
"... You really have done an amazing thing, Hugo." Alastor complimented.
"What do you mean?" Hughes asked the tall strawberry pimp.
"Ever since I lived here in Hell everything has been the same. Nothing new had ever come, no purpose, no fun, I have nothing in Hell. But then Morningstar and you have started something so entertaining, I have to have a purpose. For once, I felt so much joy having you here in Hell. You have awakened me."
Alastor never sees the bright side of Hell, especially lower demons. But when Hughes entered the realms of Hell there was finally a purpose for him. Hughes was more than just a demon to Alastor. He was the key purpose of making Hell so entertaining. The Radio Demon is no longer boring living his life the same as ever. Alastor started seeing more than just living the life of Hell; he was living in Hell with everyone.
"... Thank you, Hugo."
Hughes looked besides Alastor who soon disappeared.
"... Alastor?" Hughes looked around.
Alastor was gone.
"Al…? Al…?" Hughes got off the piles of corpses and looked for Alastor. "Al…!?" Hughes continued looking for him.
Alastor was nowhere to be found.
…
For a couple days, Hughes has been looking for Alastor. He went everywhere Alastor would often go, but no one had heard anything from him.
According to each place, Alastor lost contact with the people he would often accompany. Most of the places would be his interest but he hadn't been anywhere.
Lastly, he asked Charlie and Vaggie.
There was no word of his whereabouts.
And out of nowhere, Charlie cried and smiled.
Friends
Hughes used his grimoire he had been studying. He visited the deep south of Louisiana visiting an old friend's grave. Alastor didn't say his goodbyes or even said anything to all his friends. Alastor didn't want to say anything before he left.
A gust of wind came from Hughes' ears. It was a strange sensation, but it felt like someone was watching him closely. Hughes turned around and dropped everything.
In front of him was Alastor. Or so it seems like this person is Alastor.
"... Al?" Hughes asked the brightful demon. "Is that you…?" Hughes asked, looking closely.
"Hahaha! Surprise!" Alastor said happily with brightness. "I never thought the day would happen but it sure has!" Alastor laughed.
Hughes began shedding tears seeing just how happy Alastor is.
"... You're… You're-"
"An Angel." Alastor said proudly with his music.
Hughes hugged Alastor for being gone and being happy. Alastor hugged him back for missing Hughes and everyone. And as they shared their reunion they both laughed happily.
"But how..? How are you…? After all these… Why- How?" Hughes asked a lot of questions about the afterlife and redemption.
"Listen carefully, Hugo…" Alastor stopped Hughes from his questioning and showed him the possibility.
Hughes stopped believing in all possibilities.
But as he looked at the possibilities he had done…
"... All it takes is one step at a time."
Gratefully, Harvey Mayhew has been wrong.
The Cat Laughs Happily!
And this is it! This is officially the end of the series! As much as I loved to continue, this would have a different turn. Although, I do say I am proud of the choice I made for making this series.
After the last chapter I would have continued it but then it seems much more of an ending. And since there hadn't been many updates on Hazbin Hotel, expect for Helluva Boss, I don't really have the ambition to continue this series. I am, however, grateful for the choice of ending, and with some justice to the series. If I were to give this series a long run it would end up another catastrophe with overwrite non-canon character status, ooc with characters, and even a complicated storyline. I am happy to hear how this series have so much love than my other fanfics. Don't worry, the series may have ended but the Top Cat's journey still continues onwards!
I have been attached with the character so much I wanted to give him an original series as I have been planning for a long time. I now feel much more confident in writing and even illustrate his story. So keep a look out for this Kitty!
Thanks for reading!
