Where the Hell is Gohan:
Chapter 3: Learning the Expectations
To say that the castle was on edge would be an understatement. After finding out about Lucifer's dirty little secret, Charlie had refused to come near her father. She couldn't believe he had the audacity to pull this little scheme just as she prepared to open The Happy Hotel for business.
Looking over to her sleeping girlfriend, the princess ran her fingers through her soft silky hair. She could only imagine how this was affecting her. They had finally managed to reach the point of Vaggie living with her full time and her dad had to ruin things by forcing her into an arranged marriage. On the other side of things she could only imagine the suffering that poor soul that had been ripped away from the land of the living must be going through.
Looking over at the clock she could see that it was barely past midnight. She didn't mind that they were temporarily taking residence in one of the many guest rooms of the castle, but her mind just would not allow her to sleep.
"Maybe I should go check on him." She whispered to herself as she gently removed herself from her lover's embrace. Throwing on her night gown and slippers she started to make her way through the darkened hallways of the castle.
As she reached the familiar corner of the castle that contained her, the sound of a throat clearing itself cause her to jolt slightly as she quickly turned to address the one behind her.
"I'm guessing you couldn't sleep as well my darling?" The voice of her mother called closing the distance between them before wrapping her into a soft hug.
Charlie could only sigh before replying "Not a wink, too much has happened today for me to even think about sleeping for awhile.".
Leaning against the wall her mother could feel her pain as she could not find it in her to rest at this very moment "How is Vagatha sweetie, I can only imagine she cannot be taking any of this well?".
"She is devastated mom! It took years before she finally felt like she was becoming part of the family, and what does dad do? He forces me into an arranged marriage like I was just some property to do with as he pleases!" Charlie seethed in anger as her form began to shift.
Lilith tightened her arms around her daughter trying to calm and console her "I have been raising Hell with your father for the last couple of hours. He will never go around our back's like this again my dove, I swear it.".
Allowing herself to sink into her mother's embrace Charlie pulled herself back into her regular form.
"It's not just about what he has done to us mother. What about the boy? He is stuck in Hell with no way of returning home, and with no way of calling of dad's stupid demands." Charlie spoke as a small sob hiccuped from her throat "Dad knew exactly what he was doing when her brought him down here! Especially with me opening the hotel in just a few days!".
"I can almost guarantee that was exactly why your father chose now to bring him here. Apparently he is part of the group that has been sending those powerful beings down here to us." Lilith explained "Your father thinks that since he is the strongest and purest among them, that he would be only one to keep you safe when you leave the castle behind.".
Charlie scoffed at this "Oh sure he can't be interested in my actually trying to redeem demons, but he wants to send a body guard to make sure I'm protected. If I needed someone to watch my back I could have just hired some Hell hounds. Beelzebub was already recommending some to me the last time I went to visit her. At least she is into my idea.".
Placing a well manicured hand upon her chin, Lilith tried to reason with her daughter "I will admit that your father made a boneheaded decision this time Charlie, but even I can see that he did what he did out of love for this family. That being said I plan to fully punish him for his actions for the next few weeks.".
This brought a smile to Charlie's face as she could only imagine the various ways that her mother could torture her father while she was gone.
"Enough of your father now sweety. I can only only guess that you have also come to check on our guest as well?" Lilith asked giving her daughter a knowing smile.
"Just to make sure he is okay. I can only imagine the things going through his head right now." Charlie spoke with a worried look.
Lilith nodded as she stared at the doorway "The twins have been monitoring him closely since our arrival today. They informed me that he was beginning to show signs of stirring in his sleep.".
Charlie's eyes shot open as her mother finished speaking "So he could be awake in there!?".
"Possibly, the twins did leave him a banquets worth of food for when he awoke so the poor dear is probably eating in silence trying to make sense of things." Lilith said as Charlie began to look unsure of herself.
"I didn't think he was going to be awake, I mean my hair is a mess and I'm not even dressed to introduce myself!" Charlie said her words flying out a mile a minute.
Lilith grinned at her daughter "Breathe sweetheart, I don't think he will care much about how you look right now. If anything I believe he will be more concerned about his new life here with us".
Almost forgetting his circumstances, Charlie calmed herself as she tried to brush her bed hair into a somewhat manageable state using her hands.
The sounds of silverware from inside the room confirmed what Lilith assumed as they both prepared to enter.
Steeling herself Charlie raised her hand and knocked on the door softly hoping it wouldn't scare her new partner in marriage.
The sound of a fork hitting a plate could be heard and after a few moments a rough voice called out "Um...come in!".
Smiling in relief the mother and daughter proceeded to enter the room as they finally got a clear look at their new house guest.
He had his back to them as he sat in front of Charlie's Vanity mirror, with a small plate of food beside him. His eyes did not move to meet them as he continued to stare into the mirror, as if he couldn't understand who was staring back at him.
Both Lilith and Charlie could tell that there was not an ounce of happiness on his face as they observed him from across the room.
After a few moments of prolonged silence Charlie finally decided to break the ice "How are you feeling?" she asked hoping to at least start the conversation.
Not turning himself from the mirror the Half-Saiyan did his best to reply "What did he do to me and why do I look like this?".
Raising his hand the two could see that he had gained new features in the last couple of hours. While he had put on the new pants that Razzle, and Dazzle had left him, his top half was not covered in what appeared to be blood red fur. Only his chest, face, and hands were bare as the fur covered what areas remained. In addition to they also caught sight of a large tail swinging from the base of his spine.
Lilith took a small step forward as she tried to give her hypothesis on what had happened to him "It seems that whatever spell my husband used did much more than just age your body. It seems that it brought your more primal side to the surface to adapt to your surroundings.".
Paying close attention to her words Gohan stood from his seated position to address her "You said he is your husband? Does that make you the queen?" he asked trying to recall his manners so as not to be rude.
"I am indeed the queen. My name is Lilith, and this beautiful girl beside me is the one my husband is forcing you to marry." She spoke gesturing Charlie forward to meet him.
Both Charlie and Gohan locked eyes for the briefest of moments before Gohan gave her an apologetic look "I'm sorry that this is happening to you princess!".
Charlie's eyes snapped open wide as she heard him apologize for her father's actions "I should be the one apologizing, not you! My father had no right forcing you to be his slave, and into this stupid marriage in the first place!".
The two were giving each other sympathetic eyes as Lilith spoke "It seems that both of you are more concerned for the other's well being than yourselves." she grinned "You also haven't even given the other the privilege of knowing your names?".
They both shot her a blank look as she just grinned at them, before Gohan quickly raised his hand up to shake Charlie's hand "I'm so sorry, please excuse me! I'm Son Gohan!".
Charlie grasped his large hand with both of hers as she chirped out "I'm sorry as well! I'm Charlie Morningstar!".
Lilith took note of Gohan's name as her curiosity got the better of her "Your name sounds very unique. Are you from one of the Asian territories of earth?".
Looking at the woman thoughtfully Gohan gave her the signature Son grin "You are correct, I come from Mount Paozu which lies in the far reaches of Japan's mountains.".
Lilith was always fond of Japan as her career as a singer had her regularly going to Earth to perform for massive crowds "Japan is easily one of my favorite locations on Earth. You will have to regale me sometimes with tales of your homeland.".
Charlie knew that her mother was trying to take the boy's mind of his current situation and thankfully he didn't seem to mind as he nodded to her with a small smile.
Taking a seat on Charlie's bed, Gohan took a deep breath before looking up at the two ladies "So this is where I'm going to be for now one huh?".
They way he spoke gave a clear indication to how he was feeling. Charlie wished there was something...anything she could do to relieve some of the pain. But alas there was nothing that sprung to her mind about how to help.
Lilith placed her hands on his shoulder's as she spoke to him "This does look to be the case, but maybe it doesn't have to be all bad." Giving him a warm smile she spoke again "Maybe this will become a golden opportunity for you to both help my daughter achieve her goals, while also fulfilling you obligations that my husband has placed onto you.".
Gohan was confused "Help you achieve your goals?" he questioned not knowing what the queen had been talking about.
Motioning for Charlie to talk about her dreams she allowed her daughter to explain her passion to the confused boy "Oh um….That's right! My dream is to create a place where all demons can achieve redemption from Hell. A place where they can work to better themselves, and no longer have to live in fear of the yearly exterminations form the Executor Angels. I know it sounds funny, but I truly believe that no one is beyond helping, and they just need a helping hand to get them started." She finished as she looked at him with hopeful but determined eyes.
Gohan could feel the passion burning in the young girl's eyes as he stared into them. Honestly he felt the same way she did about redemption. If it wasn't for that belief he would not have gained the friendship of the Saiyan Prince Vegeta, and his best friend and mentor Piccolo.
"How do I help you with this Charlie?" Gohan asked unsure of where he fit in the equation.
Charlie was shocked at his question. He hadn't mocked her for beliefs, he didn't poke fun at her cheesy delivery of her goals, and he was genuinely willing to help her.
Taking note of her daughter's shock, Lilith decided to answer for her "What my lovely daughter failed to mention is, she is starting a hotel for demon's she wishes to help, but has no crew other than Vaggie her girlfriend, and a spider demon they befriended in the city.".
Charlie looked almost scandalized by her mother's deadpan delivery of her current affairs "Geez mom, you make me sound like I have nothing at all started.".
Lilith chuckled at her daughter pouting beside her "I'm sorry dear, but if I waited for you to tell him it would have taken you hours to get passed your initial shock.".
Glancing down at the boy who was paying attention to her explanation she decided to enlighten him of his role "Since my husband decided to force you into being the protector of our family, then what better way to do that than by acting as my daughter's security while she is at the hotel.".
Charlie decided that she needed to put her two-cents into the conversation as well "Of-course that is for you to decide, I mean if you don't agree I could find a different job for you to do that doesn't involve you getting violent!".
Gohan stopped her as he stood up before grabbing hold of her hand "No, no Charlie I'm fine with it. After all it's why he brought me here in the first place right? To be honest though I will need someone to teach my about Hell though if I'm going to be any use to you though.".
Charlie blushed as she caught the smile Gohan had flashed to her. During the entire time they had been talking this was the time she could see his handsome face up close. It held a very innocent feel to it, even though his new beast like appearance gave it a very manly flare.
Inside her mind Charlie screamed at herself "Keep calm Charlie, you can't be falling for someone you just met, marriage contract or not! Vaggie is the one you are destined for, I just know it to be true".
Lilith could see the blush on her face as she cleared her throat gaining the attention of her star struck daughter "Then it is settled. Tomorrow we will give you a brief lesson of the rings of Hell and all the different races that reside here.".
Gohan smiled in gratitude as he bowed to her "Thank you, Queen Lilith!".
Giving him a strict look she quickly spoke "You are to be the one that is marrying my daughter, not our servant!" Gohan gave her a confused before she wrapped her arms around him his head coming up only to her chest "You are not required to bow before me, my future Son-in-law.".
Releasing the hug and stepping to the door she called out for Charlie to follow her "Come Charlie, we must get our rest if we are to prepare to meet with your father in the morning!".
Charlie gave her a small pout "Why are we meeting with dad so soon?".
Lilith giggles as she could feel sassy nature of her daughters voice "I can imagine now that our guest is awake and fully bonded to the seal, your father will want to give him a full rundown on what he expects from him. Don't worry though, I will make sure he stays within reason.".
Charlie giggled as her mother flashed her a knowing smile before she turned back to Gohan "Well Gohan I guess this is good night for now. I'll introduce you to Vaggie tomorrow after you meet with my dad.".
Gohan had almost forgot about the other girl that was with Charlie in all of her photos "She is your girlfriend right?" he asked trying to make sure he had things correct.
Charlie gave him a soft smile as she replied "Sure is, the best girlfriend a gal like me could ever have!".
Giving her a small sad smile he apologized again "Can you please tell her that I'm sorry about all of this? I never meant to try to damage your relationship together.".
"It's not your fault Gohan. I'm sure there is some way we can fix this, we just have to find a way. Don't worry either, with as kind and respectful as you are I'm sure the two of you will become fast friends just like you and I!" Charlie called back as she exited the room leaving Gohan alone once again.
Moving back over to the mirror that was across the room Gohan stared at his reflection once more but with a small beacon of hope in his heart.
"I'm sure you will find a way Charlie, and in return I'll do everything that I can to help you with your dreams!" Gohan spoke confidently to his reflection as he laid across Charlie's bed and for the first time in days fell into a peaceful sleep.
-The next morning-
"Rise and shine, my future Son-in-law!" A voice called out from outside the room, causing Gohan's eyes to shoot open wide. Looking over to the clock that hung on the wall, he could make out the numbers showing that it was nine a.m in the morning.
"Please just one more hour!" The Half-Saiyan groaned burying his head into Charlie's pillows.
Not receiving a reply back, Gohan began slipping back into the sweet embrace of sleep. Suddenly the feel of a very strong shock hitting his backside caused him to jolt out of the bed and into a heap onto the floor.
"Hey what's the big idea!?" He yelled trying to untangle himself from the blanket that was not wrapping itself tightly around his body. Managing to pull himself up just enough to rest his body on the edge of the bed Gohan was met with the grinning face of Lucifer who still had a smoking hand full of crackling energy.
"If I had to guess, I guess I would have to say that I gave you quite the nasty shock for making me wait." Lucifer said before dispelling the lightning from his hand "You should count yourself lucky, I just used enough power to singe your fur, next time I'll cause a bit more damage.".
Knowing that the King of Hell was more than willing to follow through on his threat Gohan just sighed "Alright you got my attention, do you need me to do something for you?".
"Why yes my boy. I feel like you have had just enough time for the lovely seal to finish working it's magic on you, and might I say I had no idea that it would change your body this much. You must have some skeleton's in your closet for your body to go through this much of a change. Maybe we overestimated the whole purity aspect of your soul." Lucifer spoke placing a clawed hand to his chin as he began to ponder.
Gohan was even more confused though "You mean you had no idea that it was going to make me look like this?".
"Of course not, dear boy. The spell I used was off the darkest caliber, and was made to bind souls such as yours. I did not create it but I can at least say it should aid in your integration in Hell. Why you look just like a sinner demon with that dark red fur, and tail. Which is perfect for what I have planned for you.".
Not liking the smirk that was on his future Father-in-Laws face Gohan dared to question "What exactly do you want me to do?".
"You will just have to wait and see after family breakfast!" Lucifer chuckled before motioning for the boy to follow him "You had better hurry before it gets cold".
Gohan not wanting to get shocked again just followed in a hurry. He knew it was not wise to upset Lucifer especially not so early into their relationship.
Guiding him through the many hallways Lucifer began a small tour around the castle knowing that he would have to acquaint the boy with his home.
The had walked around for about twenty minutes before finally coming to stop at the entrance of the dining hall.
Inside the large room Gohan could spot both Charlie, and Vaggie sitting together happily talking to each other about their future endeavors, with Lilith smiling warmly at them.
"Look who I finally managed to drag out of bed! Shockingly he raised no issues with joining us for breakfast." Lucifer laughed at his own pun he crackled the energy in his palm once again.
Gohan who gave him a small glare spoke up in annoyance "Yeah, it was electrifying!".
This earned a small giggle from Charlie as she motioned for Gohan to take a seat across from her as Vaggie gave him a blank stare.
Trying to break the ice between Charlie tried to introduce the two "So Vaggie this is Gohan, I had a chance to speak with him last night along with mom.".
Both Lucifer's and Vaggie's eyes shot open as they both yelled out "What!?".
Taking his seat at the head of the table Lucifer angrily grit out "Why was I not informed of this impromptu meeting!?".
Lilith leaned towards with a very shrewd look on her face as she answered her husband "The same reason you didn't tell me you were going to be bringing him here in the first place my dear Husband.".
Lucifer recognized the look she was giving him as a warning. She knew the exact ways to get to him to back down without saying anything, and the look she was giving him was telling him not to push it. Groaning to himself he motioned to one of the twins to bring him his morning coffee, as Vaggie whispered to Charlie.
"When did all this happen last night? All I remember is freaking out because of the arrangement and falling asleep in your arms." She spoke her girlfriend who was pushing her fingers together nervously.
"We didn't exactly plan to talk at first. I was going to check to see if he was okay since he passed out, but ran into mother on the way to my room. Together we noticed he was awake and introduced ourselves to him. You were sleeping so peacefully I didn't want to disturb you." Charlie spoke giving her girl a loving kiss to the forehead.
Gohan tried to help the Princess out as he confirmed her actions "I really appreciate you both for making sure I was okay. This is all so new to me I have no idea about anything here.".
Vaggie remembered when she had made the descent to Hell, and how confused and lonely she was the first few months of being here. She wanted to sympathize with the boy but was also wary how what kind of effect he would have on Charlie.
Charlie interrupted her thoughts as she returned Gohan's appreciation "It was nothing! You partly stuck in this mess because of for a lesser part me but….mostly my dad!" She barked the last part at her father as he just grumbles to himself before returning to speaking kindly to Gohan "After you agreed to help my with my dreams I would feel terrible if I didn't make your time here a happy experience.".
Realizing what he said Vaggie interjected "He's going to be helping with the Happy Hotel? Which means he is going to be around…..twenty-four seven?".
"Yes Vaggie, I feel like him being there would be a great help with all of the Overlord's that might cause a problem. Need I remind you of the Valentino problems we been having?" Charlie said hoping her lover would understand.
Vaggie crossed her arms as she voiced her displeasure "We wouldn't even need any extra help, if you dad would just give us a little assistance!".
"I already you told you girl, I will not have my name tied to the project of yours. Do you have any idea what that would do to my image if I were seen assisting redemption for demons? No if you want to do this, then you will take the boy's help or none at all!" Lucifer spoke as the two glared at each other angrily.
Slamming her glass mug on table angrily, Lilith managed to silence the two as they both quickly apologized before turning back to the table.
They all sat in silence for a few moments before Charlie piped up "So dad were you going to inform Gohan of what his duties were going to be when his not at the hotel?".
"Why my whole reason for being here to protect you, isn't that a full time gig?" Gohan asked unsure of what they would have him do.
"Not always." Lucifer spoke placing his mug down on the table "I'm fully confident that my daughter can handle small nuisances that come around, but will need to call upon you when something inevitably pops up that she will be out of her league to handle.".
"Hey!" Charlie called out to her father, looking very offended at him.
"Sorry, not sorry sweetheart." Her father spoke giggling at her "No Gohan, you will not be required to spend every waking minute by her side. In fact just as soon as you three get finished setting up that eye sore of a hotel, I will need you to assist one of the families that are loyal to my rule.".
Gohan was cautious, but interested to know more "Will they need protection as well?".
"Not as much protecting them as dealing with their marital problems. The family I speak of is the Ars Goetia family. You will be reporting to the one known as Stolas Goetia." Lucifer spoke generating an astral projection of the avian prince "He's a bit of an odd one, so you'll have to excuse some of the ways he acts and speaks.".
"How am I supposed to help with their problems?" Gohan asked confused as to what he could say or do to fix their problems "If you don't remember, just a few days ago I was a somewhat normal thirteen year kid before you turned me into a quote, unquote beast-man!".
Vaggie spit out her coffee at Gohan's small outburst "What the fuck!? How in the seven Hells are you only thirteen years old!?".
Before Gohan could stop himself he let his anger get the best of him for a moment "Ask your fearless leader here, he's the one who turned me into this form!".
"I see someone having some post puberty anger fits." Lucifer smirked "As I told you before Gohan, the spell I used on you was very old. I had no idea that it would have this sort effect on you. At least now on your wedding day, you'll be able to look Charlie in the eyes when you seal the deal.".
Vaggie seethed in anger, as Charlie held her back from strangling her father "How about we just stick his duties dad, please?".
Lilith gave her husband another look as he huffed "Fine! To put it shortly Gohan, Stolas has been somewhat shirking his duty that has been laid out for him. His father Paimon has presented him with the job of Astral Diviner. Meaning that he will be able to interpret prophecies that could very well mean either the continued success or downfall of all here in hell.".
It sounded like an interesting job in Gohan's eyes. He used to love just staring at the stars at nights and wondering about all the planets that lie inside their universe.
"The problem here is that Stolas instead of focusing on his job, would rather spend time with an imp behind his wife's back. I myself don't mind a little debauchery here and there, but in this case it could be very dangerous for the entire Goetia rule." Lucifer explained before smiling at Gohan "This is where my future pure hearted Son-in-law comes in. You see I cannot personally deal with this problem myself, because it would seem I'm giving one side of the family preferable treatment. Stolas's wife family is influential in their own right, and a civil war would be devastating for me to have to deal with. I just need you to keep them from killing each other, through any means necessary.".
Gohan memorized the information that Lucifer has just relayed to him, after all it wouldn't be good if he messed up the very first task. He could only think of how much it would hurt it would hurt his family's chance of staying safe if he messed up on day one.
"You mentioned his wife before, is there anything important I should know about here before I go to help them?" Gohan asked trying to get more information about them.
Lilith grinned to herself as she took the initiative of answering his question "Stella is a strong woman if you must know. She adores the high class of hell, and hates the notion that anything could damage her image among the elites.".
"I'll warn you now boy, the first couple of days you are with them she will either try to use your connections with me to either improve her status, or try to strangle you where you stand. Possibly both at the same time….So have fun with that!" Lucifer chuckled like a madman as Gohan shrank down in his seat.
"Great….Is that all!?" Gohan groaned feeling a headache forming as he could only imagine the pain he would have to go through to help them with their problems.
"Well actually there is one more member of their family you don't know about." Charlie spoke thinking long and hard "I've only met her once, but Stolas does have a seventeen year old daughter. Her name is Octavia, she is a bit of an odd one but with the way her parents argue with each other I guess it is understandable.".
"Will she also try to kill me?" Gohan asked feeling more unsure by the minute.
Charlie gave him a warm smile before assuring him "Don't worry she seems to be more on the chill side than her mother. At most she will probably just ignore you or try to make you take her to a taxidermy shop.".
Letting out a sigh of relief, Gohan gave her a thankful look as he spoke "Thank goodness, maybe when things get bad I can hide out with her!".
Hearing him say this cause a very strange feeling to build in the pit of Charlie's stomach. She hadn't really experienced this feeling before, but it made her want to keep the two apart before they even had a chance to meet.
Looking at her girlfriend's sour looking face, Vaggie decided to question her "Are you okay Hun? You cracking the edge of the table!".
Quickly looking down at her hands, Charlie could indeed see that her hands were splintering the wood of their dinner table.
"Woops! Sorry I was just thinking of something bad, no need to worry about me!" Charlie quickly spoke trying divert everyone's attention away from herself.
Returning to her coffee, Lilith fought the urge to smile at her daughter. She could smell jealously a mile away. Even if her daughter wouldn't admit it, the Queen of Hell could tell that the thought of her betrothed being around other women was eating her up inside.
Vaggie however was less enthused by her lover's outburst. She also picked up on the note of jealousy that Charlie was giving off, but chose not to say anything hoping that she was wrong about the situation.
"Well my boy, seeing that the business side of our conversation is concluded we can proceed with our breakfast!" Lucifer announced while giving Gohan a pointed stare "Unless there is anything else you wish to know about your duties?".
Thinking long and hard, Gohan racked his brain before crossing his arms "We have a few days before we leave for the hotel right? I'm sure that if I need a bit more information on my surroundings I can just ask Charlie right?".
Giving him a bright smile the Princess of Hell smiled widely "Absolutely! Vaggie, and I are here to support you one hundred percent!.".
"Thanks Charlie, I hope I'm not too much trouble for you." Gohan spoke giving her a small bow.
Vaggie had to admit that for him being forced into such a situation he was taking it rather well. He was also very polite for someone that was his age. She still couldn't believe that mentally he was only thirteen but had the body of a full grown man. Still though his presence made her cautious, partly because of her own trauma and cause of death.
"It's no problem, Gohan! You've already vowed to help me the best that you can, so it's only natural that I return the favor." Charlie said reaching over and placing her hand on top of his.
Her touch made Gohan feel very tingly. It was a different than a mother's touch, but not unpleasant. It was light a small fire was lit in his chest and caused his heart to beat rapidly.
Their eyes met for the briefest of moments before Charlie pulled her hand back and planted herself firmly back in her seat. She would never admit it to anyone, but she was currently feeling the same as Gohan at this particular moment.
Sadly the moment had to be interrupted by the sound of Lucifer clearing his throat "Well if this sappy moment is over, what say we this breakfast started!".
Clapping his hands twice the sounds of Razzle and Dazzle laughter filled the air. Within seconds the two brothers had filled the table with various amounts of breads, and meats suitable for a breakfast feast. Trays of sausages, bacon, steak, and eggs were giving off the most wondrous of smells as Gohan's mouth started watering.
Noticing the hungry look on the boy's face Lucifer laughed at the boy "Well what are you waiting for my boy? Dig in!".
"Um...I don't know if that is the best idea for me. My kind has a massive appetite, and I don't want to put anyone off by my eating habits." Gohan said trying to be courteous to the ones around him.
"Nonsense, you have eating nothing but a small snack for days. I would feel like a terrible host if I didn't allow you to eat your fill after changes you have gone through!" Lucifer spoke giving him his blessing to eat his fill.
"Okay…..Only if you are sure?" Gohan said giving him the infamous Son grin, as Lucifer nodded in answer.
He would shortly see what that was a mistake as Gohan began shoveling down as much food as he could. Plates, and plates of food disappeared as they were place in front of him quickly by the twins. Razzle quickly moved at the speed of light trying to load up dishes to place in front of him, while Dazzle quickly refilled his glass of juice many times in the span of minutes.
Lilith said nothing but stared at him with wide eyes as the boy acted as a black hole, devouring anything that came within close range of his mouth.
Charlie was impressed as she was known amongst her family to be a food lover. Gohan was definitely outpacing the measly four plates she had as he now had a large stack of plates surrounding him. She had to guess that there was at least twenty dishes piled high.
Vaggie on the other hand could not help but be disgusted with the way her was devouring his food.
Looking over to Lucifer she could not help but whisper over "There is no way we are going to be able to keep him fed at the hotel!".
In a rare moment of agreement now astonished King of Hell had to agree with her "We'll make sure he has funds to eat." he shuddered as even he was becoming queezy by the way he was eating.
"You think we should introduce him to Aunt Bee?" Charlie asked getting a scared look from the other three around her.
"NO!" was the cry she received as shrank back in her chair "I was just asking!" she squeaked out as the dining hall was filled with sounds of the Half-Saiyan gorging himself, and the cry of the two poor goat demons trying to keep up with him.
Chapter End
Well whaddya know I actually got this chapter out earlier than I expected! The more I write this story the more excited I get about continuing it. I thank everyone who has been reviewing so far and appreciate the constructive criticism I have been given. That been said if you would like me to answer question about the story that you have, please make sure you have an account that I can reply back to.
I would rather not answer reviews at the ends of the chapters because I feel like it would just pad the word link to each of these chapters and would like them to be at least six-thousand words before the actual end of each chapter. Seeing that I have hit that goal before the end though I feel like I should answer a couple things before we get further into the story.
Firstly, Gohan's new form. This story will not have GT exclusive characters or transformations. That being said, I did want Gohan's hell form to take the appearance of what he would look like as a Super Saiyan Four. At the moment this is not a power-up but a side effect of his soul being bound to hell. However his new appearance will be tied to his bloodline and will cause some pretty interesting changes to his personality later in the story.
Secondly, Gohan puberty situation. Since Gohan's growth was caused by an magic spell cast by Lucifer, he basically skipped the ugly phase of puberty (pimples, voice changes, that kind of stuff). At the same time he has a lot of new hormones that he didn't feel before. This will become problematic when he meets the more promiscuous demons of Hell. His emotions will become supercharged, and sometimes he will make rash decisions because of this.
Lastly, Gohan relationship status in this story. Gohan will be in Hell for the vast majority of this story, so it would only make sense that his relationship be formed with those in this new domain. Some people hate this decision but I have to ask why would you want to read a crossover fic where the same things happens in the regular vanilla Dbz fics. Neither way is exactly original, but I an not trying to be a trend setter that is pioneering a new way to write. I am simply doing this out of fun. Now a few have suggested one Dbz character that be placed with Gohan and I could find a way to include her but she would be the only female from Dbz that get included in this. Again I'm sorry as someone else said, I am not trying to make a new chapter in the Dbz anime but rather focusing on Gohan's adventure and survival in Hell.
I thank everyone for having an interest and I'm sorry if I dissapointed anyone with my above statement but I figure it would be best to get the three things out of the way so people don't start getting expectations that I cannot match.
One last thing…...In my head whenever I think of Lucifer's Voice, the only V.A I can think of is Cameron Arthur Clarke (Liquid Snake from Metal Gear Solid). I don't know what it is but every time I look at a picture of Lucifer I just picture him speaking with that devious tone of voice that Liquid has.
On the other hand I kinda picture Lilith speaking with that of the voice of Lady Gaga…...do with that information what you will.
