I'm at the patio of the hotel doing my usual smoke. Tried to find Dan, but he wasn't around. Figure he might've gone to the opening of the Feline Fever with Lily. She asked me earlier if I could join her fighting arena she made, but I declined. Do not want to cause another accident in the place. Charlie opens the door very distressed.
"Qwais! Come to the lobby right now! It's an emergency!" She says.
"What happened?" I ask.
"It's about Daniel. I'll fill you in when everyone is gathered." She leaves before I could question her...What did you do this time, Daniel?
Main Lobby
I arrive at the place. Everyone is talking with each other. Except for Lily, who is at the corner alone. Weird. She usually likes to socialize and gossip. Charlie and Alastor join the group.
"I appreciate everyone for coming." Charlie starts talking.
"So what's going on with Daniel? Did he get kidnapped again?" Bob asks.
"About that…" Before Charlie could continue, the lights went out. A T.V. turns on and it shows Daniel on top of a building. Why is he wearing some sort of pink coat?
*Yellow* "Gooooooood morning, residents of Hell!" He poses dramatically. "It's your favorite Neon Blooded Thespian! The great Quemaleon! I'm announcing my presence to let everyone know that I'm going to commit the impossible!" He points to the sky. "I'm going to try to ascend to Heaven! *Blue* Now why would you care? Great question. See, I have the sins of my degenerate father and I'm stuck here with you vagabonds! While everyone here has a shot at ascension, I have been robbed of such opportunity. That is why I will make it my mission to find a way. There's always a way. And if you get in my path, hehe, why don't you ask this fellow?" He shows a battered up Abe behind him. "Say hello to your brother, Abe!"
"Abraham!" Kain rushes to the screen.
"K-Kain…" He barely says.
*Red* "Don't worry, Kenny. I got no beef with him. Velvet probably sent him to get me. You should blame her for this! None of this would've happened if you left me alone! But alas, someone gotta keep that clit of hers polished. Hahahaha!"...What is even going on? *Violet* "Anywho! That's the message of the day. Do not interrupt my goal and everyone can still keep sinning. Win win! Oh and one more thing. *Gray* If by the end of the week I don't succeed, I will destroy the livelihoods of the people who dragged me here to suffer. *Black* StArTiNg WiTh YoU, AlAsToR." The screen glitches before turning off. The lights are back on. We all face Charlie and Alastor.
"...I guess that explains everything." Charlie says.
"Hahahaha! That chap is entertaining as always! When I got a call from Valentino about what happened, I felt extreme joy! Reminds of the days when I first arrived." Alastor wipes a single tear. Acting like a father proud of his son.
"Damn. The madlad is actually going for it." Bob says.
"But why!? He was acting normal earlier. What changed?" Vaggie is trying to make sense.
"Why don't we ask Lily?" I suggest. "She has been awfully reserved since we got here." We now turn to her.
"Hmph. I don't know what happened. Not my problem anyway. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a club to attend." She walks to the front door.
"Lilian wait!" Charlie calls out for her, but she already left.
"Daniel, why would you do this?" Kain is still sobbing at the television. He gets up. "Lily and Daniel entered my room so I could prepare a dress for her. She was telling him that he was going to fight at her club and...something must've snapped inside him. He summoned his black tentacles and started strangling her. I tried to stop him, but he attacked me too. He returned to normal, but I can tell that he changed. So much anger behind his eyes." He finishes his explanation.
"This is all my fault! I should've been supportive to him! It must be hard knowing he's never going to Heaven." Charlie starts crying. Vaggie comforts her.
"So what's the plan?" The group faces me. "I'm just saying that it would be reckless to let him loose. He is already in hot waters and if someone gets him, then there's no telling what they'll do to him."
"Not me. This is not my problem." Bob leaves to his room. Wasn't expecting much from him.
"No. He's right." Charlie perks up. "This is the only thing we can handle. You are our guest. The only thing you need to worry about is trying to rehabilitate. So do not worry yourself!" Charlie and Vaggie go to their office. The rest also move on elsewhere, leaving me and Alastor alone. The way he's grinning at me is disturbing.
"Well well. How does it feel to be the main role now?"
"Excuse me?"
"Since my guest star has decided to go solo, he has given you the spot. That boy is free spirit! That's why I find him so entertaining! Will you live up to his performance?" His grin becomes wider. I know I don't express much physically, but this guy is something else. Daniel got some balls thinking about taking on this demon.
"Don't know what you are talking about."
"Hehe. Of course you don't. You're not part of the industry." He twirls and finally disappears.
...Maybe they're right. I can trust the princess to take care of this. No need to get involved. I pull out a cigarette and turn around, only to be face to face with a burning building. Not this again. Every now and then, my mind takes me to this moment. It's only a burning building. What does thi-?
"Qwais!" Someone is calling me out from inside. "QWAIS!" Wait a minute. I recognize that voice. The door opens and I immediately know who it is.
"Ahmed!" I shout his name. His foot is stuck by fallen debris.
"Qwais! Help me!" He's trying to reach for me. A younger version of myself runs up to the house. I know this memory.
"No no! I can't! They'll kill us if they find out about us!" My younger self panics. No. Stop this.
"Save me, please!" Stop! I don't want to remember!
"...no." Save him! Don't back away!
"Q-Qwais?" SAVE HIM!...I open my eyes and I'm back in the lobby. I should've known it was that time.
So that was my punishment? Then I guess I must repent. Not for myself, but for him as well. Get ready, Daniel. Because I'm going to beat the Quemaleon out you.
End of Heaven is Unreachable
