Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Bee in the Bonnet. Enjoy the 5900-Word chapter. I do not own Hazbin Hotel, Viziepop, and a few others do.
Vio was used to seeing dozens of weapons, blessed knives, swords, lassos… Why they had lassos, he did not know but it was different for them.
And yet? he was looking at dozens and dozens of guns, swords, lances… Dozens of Carmine-Crafted Blessed-Tipped Rifles.
And part of him wanted to facepalm at how Exorcists were unable to do ANYTHING without leaving their weapons behind. His people could never leave with their weapons, could they?
Vio sighed and pulled up his hood as he followed Bee. The demon princess was very quiet, apparently not in the mood to say much.
"How many weapons are here?" Vio asked, raising an eyebrow as Bee shrugged, still frowning.
He sighed, frowning as he looked over it all… The bullet wound in his arm was not angelic, he knew that which meant the weapons were not all over the place.
Still? There was enough firepower here to slaughter a small army, all of which seemed to remind him how little the angels cared.
It made him frown, not that he would say much for now… Not that he was to act a certain way. He looked at Bee before he frowned.
"I can't touch them." Bee heard as she blinked.
"Why?" Bee asked as Vio hummed.
"Angels are bloodthirsty, we want to fight…. You give me a weapon without something to kill?" Vio asked as Bee frowned.
Vio looked at the weapons like a twitchy little tumbleweed. It was clear he was eager to get one but it was also clear he wanted to fight, take one of the weapons, and use them.
Granted? He had a LOT of reasons to be scared, it was clear he was also trying to hide the fact he was hurt. The angelic armor he and the exorcists were before seemed to keep them safer than she had thought.
But part of her also guessed it was helping keep him from being more bloodthirsty.
Vio looked at one of the carmine-tipped rifles. Whoever had put scopes on them was interesting, he recalled most of the guns did not have them, they did not snipe devils and sinners… They just killed them, tore them apart in cold blood.
"See any you want?" Bee asked before Vio hummed.
"Am I FIGHTING or backstabbing people?" Vio asked with a raised eyebrow. "You tell me how we're dealing with Ose, then we buy," Vio said.
Bee wanted to ask what that meant but she was smart enough to tell what he was saying. Some of these weapons were better for a straight-up fight and some were better for shooting people in the back.
Bee was not much of a strategist; she knew how to kill people and she knew a bit about how to fight… But she was smart enough to know an assassin was NOT something Vio was going to be, a bodyguard, yeah… But she did not need a bounty hunter, an assassin.
She did not even know him now… She did not even think of it now when it was all said and done, they had a LOT more to deal with than it should be…
"How good are you at shooting assholes?" Bee asked to which he raised an eyebrow. "WITHOUT…. BEING SHOT…" Bee said, poking the wound on his shoulder with each word.
Vio grumbled and sighed.
"Do you think being shot slows me down that bad? Because exorcists get attacked plenty… Ms. Demon." Vio muttered as he sighed and then rubbed at the wound.
There were a lot of different things when it came down to it… She was unable to deal with most of them but she could deal with a mouthy angel.
"I need you to kill Ose up close… Make him look bad, because it makes his boss look bad… His guards? Either I kill them or they realize the princess who has one of the ANGELS backing her up." Bee stated as Vio rolled his eyes.
"They ain't going to see it that way unless you kill Ose. You let me? They are going to think you are nothing without backup…." Vio stated before Bee's phone began to ring.
She blinked as Vio clenched his fists, picked up one of the rifles, and started to look over it before she sighed, turned to her phone, and answered it.
"Yeah?" Bee asked before the familiar voice of Belle was heard.
"Ose might be onto you…. He has asked some of Crimson's guys to go after you… That, and there will be another demon lord at that party of his." Belle asked as Bee blinked.
"What happened to 'Not getting involved?'" Bee asked as Vio seemed to twitch and then looked to the rest of the guns before she slapped him in the back of the head lightly.
Vio seemed to glance back at her before he turned back to the rest of the items in his backpack which seemed to be done and dusted when it was going on it when it was all being dusted as she paused.
Vio seemed to be done and dusted. She sighed, clicking her fingers before she looked to the ground, she looked to the side at Vio before she looked to the side once more.
"Are you ok?" Belle asked to which Bee hummed, looking at her hands before she looked at her nails.
"Yeah, I have Vio with me, why… Are you ok?" Bee asked her friend before she looked to the side.
Bee seemed to think of it when it came down to it when they had problems when it was all going on when these sorts of problems… They had a LOT more to try and deal with it for now.
She sighed to herself, pausing, and thinking once more, and then looked to the ground.
Bee hummed, looking to the side, and then thought of every single little idea as to what happened next.
"What makes you think I can't handle these guys?" Bee asked to which she got a frown.
Vio finally came back with some weapons… Well, a handful. The carmine-tipped rifle from before rested in his hands and the angel also held a knife. Bee would say something but she turned her attention back to Belle for the moment.
"Because that jackass sent them a bunch of blessed weapons… Bee, if you go into that damn party, I am STRANGLING you when it is over." Bee heard before she laughed, closed her phone, and put it in her pocket.
"V? You want some blessed weapons for free?" Bee asked as Vio blinked, curious as to the intent behind those words.
Then came what caused Bee not to have to pay any Souls for the day… The crashing of a car through the stand sent blessed weapons flying everywhere, Bee grabbed Vio and flew back behind the stands as gunshots continued to ring out.
"Is this normal for the Greed Ring?" Vio asked as he turned and shot one of the imps who tried to shoot him. "I forgot how much FUN these are," Vio stated before he hummed.
Bee shrugged before a burst of blessed bullets passed by her head, reminding her of what Belle was doing, there were a LOT more problems when it came down to a fight now.
Bee looked over at Vio who had a giant smirk on his face as he put another round through an Imp, causing them to slam face-first into the car they were perched atop.
"Ease on the bloodlust, V," Bee stated to which Vio looked at her. "Do not give me that look, I will lay you the f*** out if you get any funny ideas…. We cannot kill every single one." Bee said as she winced at how… Formal that sounded.
Vio hummed before looking around. His rifle only had so much ammo and they WERE in a Big fight… So, there was at least SOME sort of fight to take care of. Granted, none of them were able to deal with it now, and for good reason.
She sighed and looked at Vio, watching as bullets pinged off the cover in front of them. Both were silent, something which needed to go crashing down onto the ground.
Vio hummed and then looked at Bee, watching as she paused, thinking of it all differently when it was all said and done.
"What do we do then? Because I can kill plenty of them." Vio stated, wasting another bullet to shoot one of the shark demons who tried to shoot them.
Bee pondered if they could fly away before shooting down her idea… These guys were not pushovers, they would probably headshot her.
She did not consider how it could have come to a halt now when it was all said and done.
Bee watched as he paused and then fired another bullet… At a sign which cracked as it finally tore free from its struts, crashing in front of them.
"Ok, go… I need to get some things from that sale before we get on with the big deal." Vio stated, opening his wings to fly off.
"Nope, you do that? I am going to rip your throat out…. We are not dying for nothing." Bee heard as she looked to the side, something about it all bothered her.
Still? She had been too tired as to how it would have been when it came crashing down… Which made Vio easier to escape, he spread his wings and pushed off to grab more of the weapons from where they were and to use them.
Vio grabbed a blessed handgun, an assault rifle, and a sword before he flew back to her, pain shooting through his side as he realized that, YES… The shot from before DID hurt as he fell to the ground, tired…. Too tired to do much more than relax.
He fell to the ground, something about it all seemed to make him grunt in pain, forcing himself not to cry, not to scream as he sighed, thinking of it all when he was able to think of it.
Bee grabbed Vio as he sighed, interrupting himself in the attempt, and felt as if he had dashed through fire. Bee flew up and out of the ring as the group of demons finally began to get to them, all firing a stream of bullets which Bee BARELY dodged, too tired…
Both were at the end of the rope and both were hurt in their ways. She looked at him as he sighed, cursing himself as he paused.
She and he finally sat down on a building as Bee seemed to glare at him, angry but knowing he was hurt… Knowing that currently? He was so worn out he could barely stand from his wound. Vio cursed but was unconscious a few moments later.
Vio was so pained that he could barely do anything besides curse and look to the side… Granted, she could tell that Vio was still alive due to the soft and steady heaving of his chest…. But there were STILL problems when he came down.
She sighed, thinking of it differently. She poked him with her foot as he cursed, looking at her, and then sighed.
He cursed but he could do nothing, he growled in annoyance but could do nothing, the exhaustion in his mind was palpable… Why? Because she knew more and more what was going on.
She wished to be thinking of it all when it was all said and done before she looked onwards and into the ground, she paused once more.
She looked to the side and then made up the choice. She knew Belle would owe someone, she knew he would be able to figure it out when it was all said and done.
But both still acted the part asked of them. Bee watched as Vio slowly tried to climb to his feet only to fall backward onto the ground, eyes rolling back into his head as exhaustion and pain finally caused him to drop unconscious to the ground.
Bee sighed as she realized very well what was going on. She would be left at the end of her rope if she decided to ask Belle for help, the Sloth Queen was at the end of HERS knowing that the more she helped Bee? The more trouble she could get in when it came down to certain things.
Bee hummed, angry from everything… Each little idea was a different form of hell and not something she could even control… It would be easier to know what end of the rope she stood on.
Still? Bee guessed either option was bad… As it was, the more they tried something. The more they would slip further into a sort of madness.
Bee snapped her fingers and a portal appeared as she picked up Vio and then walked through it. Bee could only shake her head and walk the angel in through the front door, far beyond upset to do more than relax now.
She did not even want to think of it all now, she would have had to think more and more questionable things in the future but she was willing to try.
"And of course, you are back as I said you would be," Belle stated before she frowned, thinking of it all differently. "Give him here… Why are you even paling around with an angel? They slaughter devils and sinners, Bee… You do not get cool points for that." Bee heard.
"Because I need muscle and an angel is the best muscle there is." Bee lied as Belle raised an eyebrow. "Do not judge me, Belle. I know what I used to be before I got a little power in me and I know exactly how screwed up it is." Bee stated.
"Yet you STILL do it, despite knowing that I could get hosed for doing this for you. You STILL act like the little spoiled brat who wants a crown on her head." Belle stated to which Bee glowered.
Another pair of sloth demons took Vio away, knowing that things were different. The two demons shared glares at each other, it was odd but it was part of them being who they were.
Belle glared at her, knowing that Bee was not going to change. They had been set in their ways for anything to change when it came down to it.
Bee watched as Belle retreated into her hospital and almost tore over part of the stuff in the waiting room, too angry to let reason set in. Bee knew Belle had a point… Which was one more reason she was so angry and would CONTINUE to be angry at the end of the day.
She did not even know what was growing in her mind. She almost smashed the door next to her, so damn angry she wanted to break.
Yet? She also knew the point was simple. She could not handle this by just brute forcing her way up the damn line. She knew that her friend was not going to be able to fight a deadly sin… Not even Bee could handle a deadly sin.
Granted? She did not care much about how the details would have worked out, Bee knew they could kill him, and even if she could kill him? He was going to make sure something died with her.
Bee sighed and cursed before following Vio into the back of the store. If this was going to be the consequences of her actions? Bee… Did not want these to be the way they were now, only crashing to the ground when she needed it.
(With Vio)
Belle had heard Angels were hard to kill, even fallen ones. Why? Because they were born as psycho-killing machines who tore through people like they were wet tissue paper… She did not believe it until she saw Vio had woken up before she even got him two rooms in.
"Your Highness." Vio snarked, his arm still being worked on.
The Deadly Sin looked at Vio who still looked more bored than scared… Granted, there was the fact Vio had enough painkillers in him to kill an elephant.
"How Bee found you, I'd never know," Belle stated.
"Well, I wound up here after asking WHY we must slaughter people. We are not at war with you guys and killing does not seem to do much… Already too many people dying daily." Vio stated.
"Bull, people don't get sent down to Hell because they question things," Belle stated before she looked to the side.
"Right… It is because I mentioned how garbage our views are on that… They responded by trying to murder me and I went through a portal, ended up down here…." Vio muttered, his wings fluttering open and close.
Vio seemed to be more amused than hurt, looking at her before he sat up as much as he could with his uninjured arm.
"And then Bee found you… Seems she still has her habit of dragging people into her crazy plans." Vio seemed to hear as he hummed.
"Lady, I woke up in her room in a position I think most people pay for… Talking about a deal that lasted about a day." Vio stated before he shrugged. "What about you? Bee is some crazy devil princess; I am some crazy fool who questioned the status quo…. What is Ms. Queen of Sloth doing, hooked up in this." Vio seemed to be sighing to himself.
Belle looked away before she looked to the side, she thought of it once more. Belle wished to be thinking of it and find out WHY Bee had managed to recruit an Angel into things… But part of her did not.
Yes, part of him did not want to think of it… Part of her was beyond this and for good reason at the end.
Bee seemed to be thinking of it when it was all done and dusted before she looked to the side… She was a lot more to try and figure it out as she sighed to be done and dusted.
Bee seemed to be thinking of what was growing on her mind when it came down to it as she paused once more.
"I'm in it because my friend is being dealt with for now." Belle seemed to be thinking of her best move.
Belle seemed to think of it all when it came down to it as she paused to try and think of it all now.
Belle was tired, she was too interested in what Bee was doing… Granted, MOST of them were tired and thinking of it differently.
The doors finally opened before she sighed and Bee slowly marched up to Vio as Belle grunted, poking herself before she sighed.
"Your friend will be ok… We have a lot of things to do… Like the fact Zagan has made sure every single person who wants a piece of the pie in Gluttony is going after you. They want your damn head on a platter." Belle stated to which there was SOMETHING on Bee's face.
That would be annoyance… A very big annoyance, something about it all seemed to be making it come crashing down to the ground… Bee knew damn well Zagan was coming in force for her, the demon king had been far too eager to fight her for the throne, far too eager to think of it.
Bee sighed and rubbed at her temples, thinking of what was growing on her mind as she looked to the side. Bee smiled as she looked to the side, smirking to herself.
"Good, he's scared." Bee stated as Vio shook his head.
"You are an insane woman, you know that?" Vio asked before he looked at her. "We are not going to go to war and win. We are not doing that with the fact that he has an army and you have one angel… We must get an army." Vio seemed to be looking to the side.
Vio sighed and then uncrossed his legs before he looked up at her, pausing for now to crack his fingers as he looked at Bee.
She wished to be eager to smirk. Bee wished to crack her fingers and she did so, her wings twitching as if she was a giant insect… Which she was.
Bee sat down next to Vio; her legs curled inwards. Perhaps she seemed to be happy, thinking of it all when it was all said and done.
She was bored and Vio seemed to be thinking of what else they could do with it all NOW… Granted, these problems would become MUCH harder for them to solve but it was not like it was impossible to overcome them at the end of it which needed to be done and dusted.
She would NEED to balance it all out…. And Bee was not going to be able to do that because of all creatures? She was a very odd demon who did not get tactics or anything like that.
He could guess Bee was so powerful the idea that she would need to try some strategy was odd to her.
Granted, he would judge considering she was the only friend he had down here and it was not as if he could not understand WHY she had this mindset.
"I keep telling Bee if we go after Ose, Zagan is going to come after us. He is not going to just take it sitting down that we are going after him… You cannot just kill a demon King's servants and expect them to back off." Vio said before Bee poked him in the face with her tail.
"We can because I am just as tough as Mr. Super King. He is not exactly hot s***, V," Bee stated as Vio sighed.
"She is never going to listen, never… I do not know why I try," Vio muttered to which he sighed and then looked to the side.
He paused to himself, thinking if anything that Bee wanted to die as the girl started to drum on her legs, thinking for a moment if she was serious or not.
He snorted, why wouldn't she be? Bee was willing to do a LOT but she was not willing to do much when it came down to it.
Bee drummed on her legs up and down, tired as her body glowed. Vio sighed and patted her shoulder, feeling himself shake as he did so.
"Why is she so damn crazy? She is supposed to let me bodyguard her… Or am I not doing that anymore?" Vio asked before being poked in the face by her foot.
"You work for me; I tell you to kill Ose? We kill Ose… Zagan will not give a damn if we kill him, he does not care about his people… We do." Bee stated to which Bee hummed.
"Well, I don't care about paying mine so…" Bee heard as Vio hummed.
"Still want to know how a Deadly Sin is friends with a demon princess who drags a fallen angel around with her," Vio said.
Vio hummed and then sighed, rubbing at his eyes which were awash with emotion. All of it came crashing into the ground… Something about it all came to a head when it was said and done.
Bee looked at Vio as the Fallen Angel flapped his fallen wings, looking at the marks on them and then cursing to himself in abject annoyance when push came to shove. He knew damn well what was going on was simple and it would all have been something else of a problem.
She seemed to think in terms of how much power she had to throw around more than anything… All of it was much harder to accept at the end of this day and all such days now.
Just was not going to do it now. Nope, not at all…. He held onto such an idea that they were not going to win that he of all people was going to win.
He looked at Bee who smirked, reclining to the point her giant body lay across the entire bed. She poked Vio playfully in the side with her foot, yawning as the Angel swatted her leg away.
"How are we supposed to kill Zagan? He is far stronger than all of us…. Besides Belle here, he is a Deadly Sin AND Goetia." Vio stated to which Bee sighed.
She would NOT be able to think of all due outcomes…. What was going on was going on better than before. If they managed to kill Ose? There was no real problem they could not solve as Zagan would go on the warpath due to his ego and he would crash and burn.
The Fallen Angel was ready to relax, to go home… Well, her humble abode, and Bee knew she could not push her partner lest he turned on her. Yet? Vio of all people would know by now how it sounded.
She wished to be done with it and wash her hands of it.
"You are not going to make a dent in her mind, Vio. Beelzebub is dead set on doing this. She has been this damn stubborn before she became a princess, making deals with people she does not know, scheming to be a party queen, always dancing around life since she was born a hybrid." Belle stated as Bee glared at the Sloth Queen.
The words hurt, not that there was no real grain of truth. All the words she spoke struck different parts of her.
Bee hummed and did not know what to tell her two friends, they were unable to make much progress now.
As Bee sighed, she covered her face with her wings, amused and unable to do more than mentally keep her mind at ease.
Bee smiled and smirked at Bee before she looked at her friend. She kept poking her friend with her foot as the fallen angel simply sighed.
He grunted and slowly pushed himself fully upright, the painkillers in his body causing him to feel more sluggish and pained than he could have been without.
Vio finally sat entirely upright with a crack of his fingers, his wings jutting out like two demonic monsters. He sighed and cracked his bones with a single gesture, eager to go home where he could deal without it.
Vio finally curled his wings in behind him. He did not even question how Belle had healed him, simply being happy he was healed and could go home.
The angel leaned forward, looking at the hellish red streaks in his wings. His wings being jet black was obvious, his body was fighting the influence of hell and it had lost.
The red streaks within them worried him, he did not FEEL anything wrong with his body.
Bee sighed to herself before she seemed to be thinking of it all when it was all said and done. He seemed to be relaxed at the time being.
Bee sighed and then tore herself down. She cracked her fingers and then yawned, putting her hands behind the back of her head, her wings fluttering as if they crashed.
Bee was eager to try and crack her fingers before she thought of it when she cracked her fingers and looked into the sky.
She was eager to think of it when he paused to be done as she cracked a smile on top of it.
"She is going to be the death of me. I do not know what is going on." Vio muttered before he seemed to try and slump back into his bed.
He was too tired to care and he did not care now. He was eager to do a lot of things and his mind just kept cycling through them all now… He did not wish it to be so but it would… It would and he held LITTLE in the way of real power.
Belle watched as the two curled up into balls next to each other and sighed, realizing that Vio was stuck with Bee for a LONG time and any attempt to break them up was futile… Granted? These problems only caused MORE issues at the end of the day but it was beyond Bee's reason to care, she did not want any single issue with it.
Belle simply sighed, snapping her fingers which transported both back to their ring. Belle did not hate the two as they vanished in a puff of blue smoke.
But Bee did know that she never did and she always rushed into things blindly. The idea of Beelzebub winning the war was not impossible but it was so STUPID to assume Zagan, a deadly sin AND someone who had a petty ego would take defeat lying down at the time being.
She sighed to try and think of it all. Bee seemed to think her power which was substantial would end up dwarfed when it came down to it.
Belle sighed and questioned how things when it came down to it. Belle sighed and relaxed rubbing at her temples before she cracked her fingers and turned to her entire staff.
"Just pretend they are not idiots and then go back to working… I will deal with her," Belle muttered as she sighed, cursing to herself.
She did not want to think of it when all of it was over before she relaxed to the side. Bee was going to get strangled by her if she found her.
Bee seemed to be thinking that it was all said and done. Bee was… Crazy and she knew it.
(With Bee and Vio)
Vio sighed and then rubbed at his head, his mind buzzing with anger and emotion when it was all over. Bee was curled up next to him, curled into a ball.
She was silent as of now, something about it all came out harder than it should have been done and dusted now before he looked to the side.
He had been too interested in it all, she would continue to be interested in it all. The idea of her not being at the top of the ladder seemed to bother him and it would always bother him.
He of all such people was not impressed… Not because he could not just win, but because he knew exactly how odd this was going.
She of all people seemed to crash to the ground… Granted? The exhaustion written on her face was less painful than his own.
He was able to think and then looked to the side. All of it was going down sooner or later.
"Ok, I do need to stop dealing with this… I do." Vio muttered before he sighed to himself before he looked at Bee.
Vio only smirked and then pulled a blanket over her before he got up, letting his jacket fall to the ground as he sighed, all of him felt pain and yet he wanted to go, he wanted action. He was far too bloodthirsty now.
All of him ached for the ability to fight and he wanted it to go down now at the time being.
Yet? He seemed to think rationally when it came crashing to the ground.
Vio was prepared for being damned here, he knew they had rules and he had broken them… But he did not care.
'Why are they less deserving than anyone else? They have not done anything to earn it… They have not done much wrong and we limit who can come here. Why?' Vio remembered asking the angels.
And they responded by trying to kill him, to murder him, and sneer, hissing vile words at him as if he wished to be like that.
He held a hand to his chest where scars from their weapons were under his feathers. He snorted to himself before he sighed to himself.
'So much for nothing, so much for nothing. I have been damned here and yet? I do not see it as such, why?' Vio asked as he looked around.
Then he entered his mind on Bee. She used him, sure… But she also did not, she had been willing to help him and it felt more like a job than indentured servitude, like he was trying to do something he wanted.
It bothered him how much he had enjoyed himself… Didn't it? He did not want it to be any different than now, he did not want any of it now.
Vio looked out over the city and questioned what his life would be like if it was someone besides Bee. He would be dead… He would be bleeding now at the end of the day before she looked downwards at the time being.
He sighed to himself as he rubbed once more as he clicked his fingers… He pondered what he could do, what he was now.
He felt dead like he had been torn in a thousand different directions at the time… And he felt as if he had been crashed down to the ground, something which needed to break into the ground.
All of it hurt, he hurt inside badly… But partly he felt better, he felt relaxed and.
'Safe, I feel safe here.' Vio thought as he sighed and then looked to the ground, tiring himself before he looked around.
Vio wished himself not to focus on how much he began to like Bee. She brought out a wild side in him he did not know he had now.
Vio seemed to want to scream but he did not want to try and figure it out as he sighed to himself. He cracked his fingers and then leaned backward on the bed before he hummed.
Bee seemed to be eager to crack it for now. Bee seemed to be thinking of it while she thought of her next move.
She looked over at him before Vio seemed to crack his fingers before he looked to the time being.
Vio sighed and then Bee wrapped her arms around him, surprising him as he blinked, too tired to try and do much now. He sighed and then looked at the smirking princess before he rolled his eyes.
"Make whatever crappy jokes you want. They shot my jacket." Vio stated in a tone that told Bee he was grown up.
Bee seemed to wish he was able to relax before he was all said and done and dusted.
"Are you ok?" Vio asked to which Bee nodded.
She sighed, cracking all four of her arms before she looked upwards, her shirt sliding down as Vio elbowed the woman in the side.
Bee wished it all to grow, she had a manic look in her eyes.
Author Notes
Phew. Another chapter is done! I want to point out next chapter will be in 2-10 months and will be 900-6500 words and will be showing more and more of Bee and Vio attending the party and end of the first arc. Until then, Lighting Wolf is out!
