Hey everyone! It's chapter three! This song is Prologue!
Yes, you read that right. No, I did not forget the a. The actual name of the song is Prologue. It's from the musical Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812. I love this musical! ... I'm Theatre Trash. I love all musicals really. But this one holds a special place in my heart as it's base off of Leo Tolstoy's 1869 novel War and Peace, Volume 2 Part 5.
Volume 2 Part 5 is Natasha's affair with Anatole and Pierre's search for meaning in his life.
I love Russian literature. The culture, the food, the architect...No, I don't live in Russia, nor have I ever visited. (Poor ass American) I basically got everything off the internet or books. I even learned a couple of words in Russian.
If you have not read it, I high recommend it! Go to your local library, online, wherever it is to get a copy! It's really good!
As for that enjoy! Or as they say in Russia, наслаждаться! (pronounced naslazhdat'sya)
Chapter 3: Prologue (Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812)
It was right before the release of the Hazbin Hotel video. Some of the cast had step out onto a stage. They were going to address the fans and the newcomers of what they were about to see. Angel Dust, the gay flamboyant pink and white striped spider demon, was playing his accordion. It wasn't very often that he got to play his beloved instrument, but he wasn't going to pass up an opportunity to pull it out.
"There's a war going on out there somewhere." Sir Pentious started. "And Charlie isn't here. There's a war going on out there somewhere and Charlie isn't here."
Charlie the Princess of Hell, was not in attendance. She was probably doing some last minute touches or was speaking to her parents, King Lucifer and Queen Lilith. The war that the snake demon was talking about was the war between the Angels and the Demons. While there haven't been an actual battle for centuries, there was still the unspoken dark cloud of the one day battle that would rage upon them. It was no secret that the two separate worlds clashed. So the all out war for the hearts of the mortals that were still alive was raging.
"There's a war going on out there somewhere and Charlie isn't here," The entire cast sang. "There's a war going on out there somewhere and Charlie isn't here..."
"Raz, dva, tri!" Husk shouted in Russian, causing the music to suddenly pick up speed.
"And this is all on the are on the internet. Gonna have to study up a little bit if you wanna keep with the plot." They told the audience. "'Cause it's a complicated Hellish cartoon. Everyone's got nine different names. So look it up in the Wiki. We'd appreciate it, thanks a lot. Da da da, da da da, da da da...Vagatha!"
Vaggie stepped forward to the front of the stage.
"Vagatha is young," The moth demon placed her hands close to her heart. "She loves Charlie with all her heart."
"She loves Charlie with all her heart." They echoed. "Vagatha is young and Charlie isn't here."
Niffty zipped up next to her.
"Niffty is good. Alastor's ally and closest friend."
"Alastor's ally and closest friend. Niffty is good, Vagatha is young and Charlie isn't here."
Alastor, the deer demon, stepped forward, twirling his microphone cane then bowed slightly.
"Alastor is old-school, an Overlord of Hell," His smiled over at Vaggie, her single eye narrowing in hatred at him. "Charlie's sponsor, sadistic yet kind."
Vaggie scoffed, not believing him. Sadistic, yes. Kind. Fuck no.
"Charlie's sponsor, sadistic yet kind. Alastor is old-school. Niffty is good. Vagatha is young and Charlie isn't here." They motioned to the computer that was not far from where they were. "And this is all on the Wiki. You are on the internet. Gonna have to study up a little bit if you wanna keep with the plot. 'Cause it's a complicated Hellish cartoon. Everyone's got nine different names. So look it up on the Wiki. We'd appreciate it, thanks a lot. Da da da, da da da, da da da...Seviathan!"
Seviathan Von Eldritch sauntered forward. He was a gray skin demon wearing a dark green suit with neon yellow accents, shirt and tie and a matching green hat with four eyes and teeth aligning the brim. He smiled at the audience. Or more like smirking.
"Seviathan is hot. He spends his money on women and wine." The eldest Von Eldritch boasted, taking pride on who he was.
"He spends his money on women and wine. Seviathan is hot, Alastor is old-school, Niffty is good, Vagatha is young and Charlie isn't here."
"Helsa is a bitch." Helsa bragged about herself, shoving her brother out of the way. "Seviathan's sister, rival to Charlie."
Helsa had large, long white hair. While she and her brother had both yellow eyes. her sclera being a dark turquoise while Seviathan's was red. She wore a pink jacket with neon green fur on the cuffs and collar and dark gray pants.
"Seviathan's sister, rival to Charlie," The others repeated. "Helsa is a bitch, Seviathan is hot, Alastor is old-school, Nifty is good, Vagatha is young and Charlie isn't here."
Husk growled when he was shoved to the front by Alastor. He glared at deer demon, flipping him off. He looked back at the audience.
"Husk is fierce, but not too ambitious. Alastor's friend, a crazy good shot." Husk grumped, then made his way back over to the bar.
He shoved Alastor away as the Overlord attempted to pull him into a side hug. Not fucking happening. He was not drunk enough for this shit. Hell. He didn't even want to be there in the place. But the Radio bitch that was Alastor dragged him to it. So there he was, explaining himself to whoever these fuckers were that was going to watch the shitty cartoon. God, he deserve a drink for being pulled into this shit.
"Alastor's friend, a crazy good shot. Husk is fierce, Helsa is a bitch, Seviathan is hot, Alastor is old-school, Niffty is good, Vagatha is young and Charlie isn't here." They looked at each other than the crowd. "Chandeliers and caviar, the war can't touch us here! Minor characters!"
"Mad scientist Baxter is crazy." Baxter spoke up, grinning when his mixed chemicals gave a small explosion.
"And Crymini's a pain," Crymini smirked, shoving Baxter to the side.
Everyone turned their attention to Angel Dust, who was still playing his accordion. They all looked back at each other.
"Angel Dust's family, totally messed up." Crymini and Baxter replied.
The spider demon just shrug in response. It was true. He wasn't going to deny the fact that his family life was fucked up. He was from a family of mobsters.
"And Cherri Bomb's just for fun!" Cherri Bomb exclaimed, wrapping her arm around Angel Dust.
"Cherri Bomb's just for fun!" They cheered. "Cherri Bomb is fun, Baxter is crazy, Crymini's a pain, Husk is fierce, Helsa is a bitch, Seviathan is hot, Alastor is old-school, Niffty is good, Vagatha is young and Charlie isn't here."
They all looked over at the snake-demon. The nineteenth century villain looked tired. He was the absolute joke of Pentagram City. He wanted respect from everyone, even the Overlords, as he was trying so hard to become one of them. His army of Egg Bois were around him.
"And what about Sir Pentious? Dear, bewildered and awkward Sir Pentious? What about Sir Pentious? Rich, unhappy, desperate Sir Pentious? What about Sir Pentious? What about Sir Pentious? What about Sir Pentious?"
Not really caring they all left to go back to what they were doing. It was about time for the show to begin.
Raz, dva, tri is Russian for one, two three.
That's not the actual spelling for them, just how they're pronounced. It's what google translate gave me.
Lyrics have been changed to fit the characters. This will be a common occurrence. Also... this song was so hard for a while! I had some ideas on who I wanted in the song and others I didn't. It took me a while to figure out who would be perfect for this song.
Naturally I included the main cast because...duh. Well...except for Angel Dust. I could've easily gave him Helsa's part, but I like the family bit because his family is so damn messed up because they're the mafia. It fit much for him.
Sir Pentious as Pierre... yea. He's just Hell's biggest loser and the last verse just sounded like him. Is he rich? ...probably. Guy's an inventor. Can't get all that metal and shit without spending some major cash.
Thanks for reading everyone and please review!
