This is the 26th chapter. I don't own the series of Helluva Boss or the series of Hazbin Hotel.
Scrambled Eggs
The scene opens with a shot of Keekee asleep on the sofa, with Charlie, Vaggie, Octavia, and Razzle and Dazzle putting up a banner that reads 'Happy First Week, Sir Pentious'.
Both Razzle and Dazzle have similar red fur, long black and red horns, yellow eyes with red irises, similar suits. Razzle's eyes are reptilian-like with thin vertical pupils, while Dazzle's eyes are larger with his pupils being round and circular. Both also possess dragon-like wings, and their tails are long with a tuft of fur at the end of each shaped into a point. Their 'hands' have close resemblance to hooves, and their cheeks have pink spots, as well as what appear to be freckles located beside their eyes. Razzle appears to have a normal looking tongue, while Dazzle has a more snake-like one. Razzle's fur is a light shade of red, while the stripe goes down his snout is darker red in comparison, whereas Dazzle's fur is the exact opposite: dark red with the stripe on his snout being lighter shade of red.
"That looks perfect!" Charlie said with a singing tone, then turns to Vaggie and Octavia. "I am so excited that Sir Pentious is staying at the hotel!"
"Um...Pentious was just trying to take over the city with his weird steampunk bullshit a few days ago." Octavia points out when Vaggie agrees to her statement.
"Well, I haven't seen him try to pull any of that here." Charlie told her, climbs down the ladder.
Sir Pentious comes in, rolling a new machine that his Egg Boiz are sitting on.
"What the hell is that?" Vaggie asks.
"Oh, hello, purple female." Sir Pentious greets rudely, bowing to her while taking his hat off. "It's my new invention, the Skin Flayer 11,000! I'm really looking forward to shooting the other residents."
"What? Why?" Charlie asks shockingly.
"Everyone is being too nice. Obviously it must be a lie." Sir Pentious said with a shrug, feeling edgy. "I can sense they are planning to kill me, but when? How? I must be prepared!"
"The only one you need to worry about is Niffty. Hope you lock your doors and check your vent just in case." Octavia suggests as Sir Pentious nods.
"Ooh, the new parts of my machine are here." Sir Pentious said excitedly.
Odette and Clara comes in, wheeling in boxes of weapons. Sir Pentious runs over to them.
Odette is a female demon with white skin, blonde hair tied up in a ponytail, eyes with red sclera and white irises, and small black horns atop her head. She wears circular red glasses, white lab coat, long black gloves, and ballet shoes.
Clara is a female demon with puce skin, short and curly cream hair tied up in a ponytail, dark lips, eyes with red sclera and white irises, and small black horns stop her head. She wears black top that exposes her midriff, dark grey jeans with black belt, black fingerless gloves, and ballet shoes.
"Sign, please." Odette said, holds out the clipboard.
Sir Pentious signs the clipboard while Clara wheels in the boxes.
"Thank you for your business." Odette thanked him. "Enjoy your Carmine purchase."
Odette and Clara walks out of the lobby as Sir Pentious takes the crate full of parts and weapons for his machine. As he slithers back, Vaggie realizes whom he's buying from.
"Carime? As in Carmilla Carmine? You are buying parts from an overlord?" Vaggie questions with her arms crossed.
"Uh, of course." Sir Pentious answered with a shrug. "She's the top weapons dealer in Hell."
"Yeah, we know. I've come across fer work before. Her craftsmanship are top notch, I'll give her that. But every demons who tries to kill my Dad, my Mom, and Antauri with angelic weaponry has gotten it from the company." Octavia points out bluntly.
"And that stops right now." Vaggie adds, takes Pentious' boxes away.
"Hey!" Sir Pentious protests.
"You absolutely cannot build weapons in this hotel." Vaggie snapped, turns to him. "No one is trying to kill you. People are being nice because they want you to feel welcome."
Sir Pentious looks at Vaggie with a wry expression. He peeks over his machine to scowl at the other residents and workers. The scene pans to Husk downing a bottle of beer in the bar, who flips off Sir Pentious. Angel Dust, standing near the bar on his phone, does the same. Niffty, who's dusting a corner of the wall, looks at him and does a sinister-sounding giggle.
"I have my doubts." Sir Pentious said with a hiss, skeptically.
"Well, it's true." Vaggie told him, crossed her arms. "You have to trust us."
"But I don't." Sir Pentious remarked, also crossed his arms.
"Well, why don't we focus on that for today's activities?" Charlie suggests, thought of an idea.
"Not before we lay some ground rules." Vaggie points out which Sir Pentious hissed at her. "No more building weapons, no more plotting against other guests, and you need to get rid of these things."
Vaggie points at Egg Boiz who were on the crate of weapons. 2 Egg Boiz, having a tug-of-war over a laser, accidentally set it off and blow a hole in the roof, much to Vaggie's frustration.
"Oh!" Vaggie snapped, points at the ceiling. "What did I just say? What did I just say?"
"What? Not my little Egg Boiz!" Sir Pentious protests, hugs them. "They do my evil bidding for me!"
"Do you want to stay here and redeem yourself?" Octavia asks in annoyance.
"Yes." Sir Pentious answered in reluctance, narrows his eyes.
"Then no more eggs." Vaggie and Octavia said in unison.
"All right, eggies." Sir Pentious said in teary eyes, sobs. "You've got to go. I...can't keep you anymore!"
"Okay, boss."
They all follow Vaggie as she wheels Sir Pentious' boxes away.
"No, don't resist! This is how it has to be!" Sir Pentious said, begins crying as he watches the Egg Boiz walking away.
Charlie, looking awkward, pats his shoulder.
The scene changes to show Alastor in his room, eating a deer carcass with a knife and music while jazz music plays in the background. Suddenly, the jazz music stops with a record-scratching sound when Vaggie came by with the Egg Boiz behind her.
"Alastor!" Vaggie called him.
Alastor looks surprised for a second and his eyes go from the deer carcass on the table to Vaggie.
"Do you mind? I'm in the middle of breakfast." Alastor said politely.
"Pentious' eggs are all over the place, and I need you to get rid of them." Vaggie suggested.
"Oh, well, in that case, I'd be delighted to!" Alastor said cheerfully, throws away the knife and fork, stands up and summons a microphone as he walks to her.
"Humanely!" Vaggie said with a scowl, crossed her arms.
"Hmm. Well, that's a lot less fun, but I suppose I can take care of that on my outing today." Alastor replied when he turns away with his eyes glow red and the 'x' appears on his forehead, but turns back to Vaggie in his normal face and walks away.
"Great!" Vaggie said with a small smile, but looks at the deer carcass. "That looks disgusting."
The scene changes back to the hotel foyer, where Charlie and the rest of the hotel's residents, minus Alastor, Antauri, and Felicia, are with all of them except for Charlie and Vaggie sitting on the sofa. Behind Charlie and Vaggie is a stage with a banner that reads 'Trusting 101'.
"Hi, guys. Thanks for coming!" Charlie informed them with a smile, waving her hand. "It's been brought to our attention that there may be a little...tension in the hotel."
As Charlie explained, everyone is hating each other or on edge. Sir Pentious grabs Niffty with his tail and makes to shoot her with his ray gun, but Vaggie snatches it out of his hands before he can.
"Tension that can be counterproductive to what we're trying to do here." Vaggie adds in annoyance.
"We think that this group could really benefit from..."
The background does to yellow and Charlie, Vaggie, and Octavia go flying up into the air.
"Trust exercises!" Charlie, Vaggie, and Octavia shouts.
"Ah shit!" Vaggie and Octavia said.
Both Vaggie and Octavia falls on the floor as the yellow background cracks and breaks. Charlie pulls Vaggie and Octavia to their feet.
"Girls, we rehearsed this." Charlie said with a sigh, then turns to them. "We're doing trust exercise!"
"So, uh, what's with the whole, uhh...this?" Husk asks, gestures to the stage behind Charlie, Vaggie, and Octavia. "I'm not about to put on some show for these fucking chumps."
"Oh, I will, but it's cash up front, and I know that one can't afford me." Angel Dust said when he puts his feet on Husk's legs and then points at Sir Pentious.
"Gross!" Sir Pentious shudders in disgust, crossed his arms with a hiss. "I'd never think of it, spider!"
"Right, well, let's get started." Octavia said, turns to Charlie. "Charlie?"
"Actually, I thought maybe Vaggie could take the lead on this one." Charlie told her as she walks over to stand by Husk, Niffty, Sir Pentious, and Angel Dust. "I trust everyone, so maybe you know better on how to build it properly!"
"What? Uhh, I don't know if I'm qualified, uh..."
"Oh, come on. It'll be easy!" Charlie said, encourages Vaggie. "I'm sure you can handle this."
"Yeah...um..."
Vaggie looks at them. All of them are looking grumpy except Charlie, Niffty, and Octavia.
"Sure, I can handle this. No problem." Vaggie said, then using drill sergeant style. "All right, so we are starting with trust falls! Each of you are going to share something vulnerable with the group about yourself and then fall backwards, while the rest of the catches you. Got it? Who wants to go first?"
"Ooh, ooh, me me me! Me! Me! Me!" Charlie said excitedly, raising her hand.
"All right, get on up here." Vaggie complied, thrust her thumb at the stage.
Charlie runs past and onto the stage.
"I...I love you guys." Charlie told them with a smile. "Like, really, really love you."
When Charlie begins to fall backwards, Vaggie and Octavia runs forward and catches her.
"Gotcha!" Vaggie and Octavia said.
"That...felt...good!" Charlie shouts excitedly. "Angel, why don't you go next?"
"Fine." Angel replied in reluctance, walks onto the stage.
"This time everyone needs to catch him, okay?" Vaggie suggests. "Unless you want me to hurt you."
Vaggie takes out a spear as a means of discipline for the others to come closer to the stage.
"Somethin' about myself, huh? How about this?" Angel Dust said with a smirk, thought of something that comes into his mind. "I LOVE to suck-"
"I swear to fuck if you say dicks!" Husk snarls, threateningly points at Angel Dusk.
-popsicles, ya sicko! Get your mind outta the gutter!" Angel Dust finished his sentence, falls backwards when Husk catches him. "But, you know, dicks too!"
Husk drops him.
"All right, new guy, you're up." Angel Dust told him, causing the room to go dark and a melodramatic music plays. A spotlight shines Sir Pentious.
"I...don't want to live without my minions." Sir Pentious cried. "Nobody catch me!"
While Sir Pentious falls backwards, Vaggie, Charlie, and Octavia catches him together.
"Damn it!" Sir Pentious groans.
"That's great. Wow, you are slimy." Vaggie shudders, drops Sir Pentious. "Okay, good job. Uh, Niffty?"
Niffty runs past them onto the stage, giggling maniacally.
"Sometimes, I kill mother-bugs in front of their children as a warning to other!" Niffty told them.
Upon hearing this and seeing Niffty, the others were disturbed by her sadistic nature. Niffty flings herself off of the stage, but the others actively move out of the way to let her fall on the ground in the face. Despite that, Niffty seems to enjoy that.
"Yay! Pain!" Niffty shouts, giggling as she runs back onto the stage to jump off again. "Pain!"
"Shouldn't you have the powers to catch her?" Sir Pentious asks.
"I haven't learned any magic from Dad." Octavia points out. "Even though, he's willing to teach me to use the grimoire, but I only learned basics."
Charlie, Vaggie, and Octavia walk off to talk privately.
"I don't know if this is really working the way we'd hoped." Charlie said. "Maybe we should-"
"Honey, you have to trust me here." Vaggie interrupts with assurance. "I got this, okay? I'll figure something out."
Angel Dust appears behind them.
"If you're in the market for some ideas, I've got just the thing for some 'trust buildin'." Angel Dust said with a smirk, wrapping his arms around them.
"What do you have in mind?" Vaggie inquires with a sigh when Octavia's phone rings.
"Hello? Hey, Dad." Octavia said. "Yeah, uh-huh. Am I doing anything? No, why? A meeting? Yeah, alright, I'll do what I can. Bye."
"Everything okay, Via?" Vaggie inquires.
"Just got a call from Dad." Octavia explains. "There's an Overlord meeting going on to discuss the Extermination, and given my status, he thinks I should be in attendance."
"What do you think?" Charlie questions.
"I never experience in meetings or anything that deals with killing or anything like that, then again, I don't know any of them personally aside from Alastor." Octavia told her. "And I know Antauri does, but it's his second time attending the meeting as a bodyguard."
"I know, but it'll just be a little bit." Charlie points out.
"Plus, it'll give you experience while you're here." Vaggie adds.
"...Alright. I'll go give some insight and get some information, and come back when I get the chance." Octavia replied with a sigh and then walks off. "Over the frying pan, into the Overlord meeting. Ugh!"
The scene changes to show a street in Pentagram City. Alastor, Antauri, and Felicia were walking down the street, closely followed by Sir Pentious' Egg Boiz who are their new members.
"Oh, boy! What's the plan boss?"
"I like your suit!"
"What are the antlers for?"
"Can I touch your staff thing?"
"Are those your ears or is it your hair? I can't tell!"
Antauri and Felicia are very annoyed of their ranting when they covered their ears while Alastor's eye twitches as they walk down the street, a pained smile on his face. A shadowy person watches them from behind, before appearing in front of them, revealing himself to be an Overlord: Zestial.
Zestial is a very tall, slender spider-like demon with dark grey skin and lime green eyes. He wears all-black clothing, with a pitch-black cloak that covers most of his body. When Zestial unfurls his cloak, his eye glows and the top pair gain red irises. At the front of the cloak is a large black spider with lime green stripes on its eight legs, as well as lime green eyes and lime green on its back. The interior of his cloak is lime green colored with a spider web pattern and four red spider legs extending across the cloak. He also wears a distinctive big black top hat with a light grey patch at the front, along with gray colored skull and a lime green and red striped feather on the right side.
"Hark, Alastor." Zestial greets him. "How fare thee this day?"
Alastor makes a radio static sound effect, looking slightly scared. Antauri and Felicia looks at Vestial, also looking scared.
"Who's that, boss? Want me to rough him up for you?"
"Follow in silence if you value your shell!" Alastor warns them, taps Egg Boiz shell with his cane before turning back to Zestial. "Greetings, Zestial."
A demon comes out from an alleyway and sees Alastor, Zestial, Antauri, and Felicia.
"Oh, holy shit!"
"Ah, the weather, doth become this fine day." Zestial said.
A coyboy demon comes out of the backdoor after a fight, and was about to go back in when he notices Zestial and panics before fleeing.
"Indeed, looks like we might have some acid rain this afternoon!" Alastor agrees when Zestial turns to the two.
"Who art thou are the two little ones?" Zestial questions.
"This white hellhound is Antauri and this fox demon is Felicia Foxhound." Alastor answered. "I ask them to come along for the meeting."
A demon, seeing Zestial, pours gasoline over himself and sets himself on fire.
"Ah well, it's to meet thou both." Zestial said, then turns to Alastor. "If our luck doth hold! I do revel in the screams. How art thou?"
Zestial begins walking down the street with Alastor, Antauri, and Felicia, as tons of demons spotted them and hide, run, or avoid them from getting in their way.
"It has been an age since thou hath graced us thy presence." Vestial told him. "Some hath spun wild tales of you falling to...holy arms."
"Oh, I just took a well-earned sabbatical, nothing serious." Alastor replied with a laugh, adjusts his bowtie and coat in a window reflection. "Though it's fun to keep everyone on their toes."
While Alastor laughs, the laughing sound effect plays from his microphone.
"There too hath been rumor of thy involvement with the princess and her recent flight of fancy." Vestial said, then his cloaks flares open briefly. "TELL ME, how does thou fall in such folly?"
"That is for me to know." Alastor remarked, spins his cane and continues walking. "But please, do guess, I'd love to know the theories!"
"T'would be grander folly by far to assume the workings of your mind, Alastor." Zestial said with a chuckle. "Thou hath been naught but an enigma since thy manifested in this realm."
"Coming from someone as ancient as you, I take that as quite the compliment!" Alastor remarked.
Alastor, Zestial, Antauri, Felicia, and the Egg Boiz walk into the alleyway with a row of lifts when Octavia arrives through the portal, given them an explanation of why she's here. The security camera spots Zestial walking in view, but Alastor's image glitches when the camera was on him. Zestial, Alastor, Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia gets into one elevator. The Egg Boiz attempt to follow, but Alastor blocks them with his cane.
"No, no. I have a very important task for you." Alastor told them. "Stay here and guard the front until we return."
The Egg Boiz salute and the lift begins its ascent.
"Oh, look. Frank is up there."
One of the Egg Boiz points to the lift, where one Egg Boi is inside, pounding on the glass.
"We have names?"
The lift reaches the top of the building and opens, where Alastor, Vestial, Octavia, Antauri, Felicia, and the Egg Boi walk out. The Egg Boi watches as the other Overlords comes out of other lifts and go into another room. Rosie turns to Antauri, which she's happy to see the white hellhound again and then turns to the Egg Boi, who waves. Rosie smiles widely at him, showing her pointed-like teeth. The Egg Boi hides behind Alastor's chair as another overlord walks to the head of the table.
An overlord known as Carmilla Carmine is tall and slender, light gray-skinned demon. She sports white ankle-length hair that has been formed in the shape of a large horns with several black streaks, most of them on top of the horn shape that resemble thin ribbons, while one is located on her beings. She has darker area that appears similar to a mask of her face, while her eyes have white irises and red sclera. The rest of her arms and hands are colored white, with her hands being rather large in proportion to her body with black nails protruding from them. She wears attire similar to the ballerina, including an off-the-shoulder black dress with white buttons and white stripes located down the front and at the rim of the spiked skirt, which includes hot-pink lining. She also wore black waist-length stockings which are covered by white ballerina shoelaces, and her shoes are that of metallic ballet slippers which she walks on the tips of her toes.
"Welcome, Hell sovereign overlords. I've invited you all here because you represent the controlling powers of our city. Though, you own millions of souls. Souls at risk with the new Extermination schedule." Carmilla informed them, pounds her fist at the table. "We need to discuss what can be done to minimize the impact to our interest."
Zestial takes a seat.
"Zestial, so good to see you, my friend." Carmilla greets, turns to him when he summons a teacup ad saucer.
"Enchanted as always." Zestial compliments her.
"Alastor?" Carmilla said, noticing him.
"Yes, I know I've been absent some time." Alastor points out. "I'm sure you've all been wondering!"
"Not really, but welcome back in any case." Carmilla replied with a shrug.
Alastor narrowed his eyes and looks offended in Carmilla's general direction. Antarui and Felicia narrowed their eyes and not liking her one bit, but knows she's being professional about it since she called them for a meeting.
"And why are you here, Octavia?" Carmilla questions, turns to her.
"I was informed by Dad that the meeting is taking place here. So, I'm filling in at his place." Octavia answered with a glare. "Is there a problem?"
"Not really, but since it's your first meeting, I'll fill you in." Carmilla said, causing Octavia quietly makes an angry owl sound. "This years Extermination was brutal, far more even than years past. We have assessed that about 16% of the population was lost. With the angelic legions now returning twice as quickly, I think it prudent we-"
Carmillia is interrupted as Velvette opens the door and walks in, on the phone.
"Yes, I've got it handled, Vox. Are you doubting me? Really? Me? That's what I thought...Yes, I know. They're all a joke...Thank you, V. See you soon. Kisses, darling." Velvette said as she hangs up and sits at the opposite end to Carmilla.
"Nice of you to join us, Velvette." Carmilla said with a scowl. "Will your...colleagues be joining?"
"No, they have better shit to do than to listen to an old windbag who thinks she's tough shit." Velvette answered rudely. "I'm here to represent."
"So, as I was saying, we need to discuss-"
Carmilla stops talking as Velvette wanes her hand in the air.
"Yes?" Carmilla said in annoyance.
"On the subject of discussion..."
Velvette takes out the head of an Exorcist and throws it onto the table. The other overlords, including Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia, look at it and mutter to each other.
"Holy shit!" An overlord named Zeezi exclaimed.
"Ooh, tasty!" Alastor said with a smirk.
"Where did you get this?" Carmilla demands, narrows her eyes.
"We found it during Extermination day. If these Holy Rollers can be killed, the game has changed." Velvette explains, stands on the top of the table. "We can take the fight to them. The boys and I have come up with a full assault plan."
"Wait, so, an all of Hell's history, an Exorcist has never been killed?" Antauri inquires in confusion.
"That is correct." Zestial replied. "Part of our eternal damnation is that the Exterminators are far more powerful than us."
"And who is this?" Carmilla inquires, turns to the white hellhound.
"That is Antauri, he and Felicia are with me as my personal bodyguards." Alastor answered. "I ask them to tag along for the meeting."
"AHHH! Those two cutie pies are so adorable, I could eat them up~!" Zeezi exclaims with a squeal.
"I know, right?" Velvette agrees.
"We're off the main subject here!" Carmilla warned them, clearing her throat.
"Sorry, but still, it's not that some of us haven't tried, but there's a reason we find shelter when these winged fuckers come down." Zeezi points out.
Zeezi stops talking and the others are looking at Zestial, who's sipping his tea loudly and aggressively while staring at Velvette.
"If it be true thee and thy colleagues desire to war with such meagre proof, thou art more...foolish than I be thought." Zestial told her, then turns to Octavia. "Young Octavia, how would the young hellhound say this Exorcist perished?"
"Hmm, as far as I know, it's hard to tell just from looking at it. But...we can't determine what killed an Exorcist." Octavia answered with a ponder. "Something that's never killed before, just from looking at a severed head."
"She's right, I can't make of it." Antauri agrees.
"Both Octavia and Antauri are correct. We know not how this perished." Zestial adds.
"Meagre proof? It's a dead fucking Exorcist." Velvette retorted with a scoff. "I'd say that's pretty fucking definitive. You going blind, old man?"
"As Young Octavia and Young Antauri said, we know not how this perished." Zestial said calmly. "Mayhaps t'was not a demon's hand at all. If we rush to war without knowing mightn't, they purge all of Hell for daring an uprising?"
"He has a point, we don't how the Exorcist is killed." Felicia agrees to Zestial's statement.
The other overlords mutter in agreement. Velvette notices Carmilla's expressions and smiles.
"Oh, I get it. So, Grandpa is too pussy to fight, so I guess there's no point, right?" Velvette questions rudely, gets up in Zestial's face. "Oh, what's the matter, Fossil? Too senile to make a real power grab for-"
Right before she could continue, Carmilla starts to get into her face, expressing outrage while singing.
Carmilla (Sings):
You better show some respect!
Check your behavior!
No one speaks to Zestial that way!
Did you expect us to sit back and take your, insolent brazen display?
Velvette (Sings):
You got it twisted!
I'm not the one who needs a new attitude!
Maybe you missed it, but I'm the #Bitch and I will do nothing less than what I please, whoo!
I'm the backbone of the Vees
Mad that I acted respectless?
Well, it's cause no one could respect this!
Sorry, group attendin'!
Since when are Overlords too scared to fight?
You're long past trending!
Sorry, babe, but I ain't swiping right!
You're lost your relevence-
Zestial (Sings):
We can't act without more intelligence!
Velvette (Sings):
Ugh! No wonder I'm so respectless!
I could eat you lot for breakfast!
Carmilla (Sings):
You and the Vees are inane and uninformed!
Smug wannabes who don't heed when you've been warned!
Velvette (Sings):
Oops! Did I struck a nerve?
Cause when I brought out the angel's head, couldn't help but observe, that your wrinkled face was turning red!
And why are you avoiding war?
That's what the guns you sell are for!
Thanks to my being respectless, one thing I'm starting to suspect is!
You know why this angel's headless!
Do you have a disclosure?
Carmilla (Sings):
This meeting's over!
Both Carmilla and Velvette glare at each other. The other overlords are all staring at Carmilla and Velvette. Alastor finally decides to break the silence.
"That was a productive meeting!" Alastor said.
"Hm. Fine. But too bad I'm not taking Antauri home cause he's a cutie pie and Valentino would get the wrong ideas. Save travels back to the nursing home, fuckers!" Velvette said, flips them off and walks out of the door. "Kiss my arse!"
"What the hell? We literally just got here!" Zeezi scoffs.
"Mother?" Odette called with worry.
The overlords all begin to get up and leave. All of them walk back towards the lift except Carmilla, Odette, Clara, and Zestial, who got into another room. Alastor, Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia notices this as they're walking towards the lifts.
"Hmm. Well, that's interesting." Alastor said with interest, points at the Egg Boi with his cane. "You, little egg creature. I have a job for you."
"Oh. Yes, boss!"
"Follow them!" Alastor ordered.
The Egg Boi salutes and runs after the overlords who went into another room.
"Um, not to try to pry, but what are you planning?" Octavia inquires, raising her eyebrows.
"You'll see." Alastor answered. "I want to know about this myself."
The scene changes to Charlie, Vaggie, and Angel Dust standing in a BDSM sex dungeon. Slapping noises comes in the background. Angel Dust is looking satisfied with himself, Charlie is looking incredibly shocked, and Vaggie looks angry.
"Angel! What the actual fuck?!" Vaggie snapped.
"No activity requires more trust than BDSM, baby." Angel Dust said with a smirk, rolling his eyebrows and much to Vaggie's annoyance. "No bond stronger than those formed through bondage! That's their motto!"
Angel Dust points to a poster on the wall, which does indeed red 'No bond stronger than those formed through bondage'.
"Angel, love the enthusiasm." Charlie said nervously. "But, umm, uh...hmmm..."
"What makes you think anyone would be into this?" Vaggie cuts, points at Angel Dust.
The scene pans to Husk, who's purring as he gets massaged.
"You know, I...I don't hate this." Husk said with a chuckle.
Niffty, near Husk, is wearing a dominatrix outfit.
"I'm ready to punish some bad boys!" Niffty said with a smirk, giggles.
Seeing Niffty and her outfit makes Husk give up.
"Never mind, I-I'm out!" Husk said, gets up and leave.
A demon with snake hair comes up behind Charlie and starts giving her a massage. Other demons begin coming towards Charlie and rubbing themselves against her.
"Okay, hello there. Hi. Um. Hm. Hm..."
Vaggie pulls Charlie away from the other demons.
"Ugh! I can't fucking believe I let you drag us here, Angel. This is disgusting." Vaggie said with a growl. "Let's be glad that Antauri, Felicia, and Octavia aren't around, cause it'll be too much for them to handle."
"It's no big deal, Vaggie." Charlie assures her. "You know, maybe I can just help, uh-"
"No. I told you you could trust me, and I'm not going to let you down." Vaggie cuts in, walks away. "I just need to teach them...the way I was taught..."
As she said this, Vaggie smiles with excitement when she has the perfect trust exercise for all of them.
The scene cuts to the group standing on the rooftop with half-destroyed buildings all around them. Everyone was shocked that the exercise has taken them to a live turf war battlefield with guns blazing in the background, demons screaming, and explosions booming.
"THIS IS HOW YOU LEARNED TO TRUST PEOPLE?!" Charlie shouts over the other demons.
On the ground, demons are shooting each other, brawling with weapons, and other demon was on fire, screaming and running around while the others are still enjoying the carnage.
"Yee-haw!"
"Let's go, Baby!"
"Bring it on, Bitch!"
Back at the rooftop, Vaggie makes a drill sergeant march.
"There is nothing stronger than the trust between comrades and arms." Vaggie shouts. "Buckle up, buttercups, because today you boys become men!"
There's a loud explosion in the background, sending shockwaves that sways Vaggie's hair with a satisfying smile. Vaggie advances on Sir Pentious.
"You..."
"Wait, wait! I can't fight without my minions-"
"Are gonna survive together!" Vaggie finished her sentence when she picks up Sir Pentious and throws him off the building before turning to Angel Dust.
"And you..."
"D-Don't you even think about it-"
As part of their trust exercise and Angel Dust's punishment for the BDSM sex dungeon suggestion, Vaggie takes him up and throws him off of the roof.
"...Are gonna make this hotel work!" Vaggie finished her sentence.
Niffty bounces next to Vaggie, her arms raised with excitement, and psychotically smile with anticipation.
"My turn, my turn!" Niffty said.
Vaggie picks up Niffty as Husk goes back into the inside of the building, not wanting to get involved and realized how far this exercise has gone. Vaggie makes to throw Niffty, but Charlie snatches her up before she can.
"Vaggie! No!" Charlie pleads.
"This is the only way they'll learn, Charlie." Vaggie told her.
"No, it not." Charlie argues, puts Niffty down. "There are other ways. It just takes time!"
As Charlie talks to Vaggie, Niffty looks back at her, asking to be lifted. When Charlie ignores her, Niffty jumps off the building herself. In the off-screen, Sir Pentious, Angel Dust, and Niffty are being heard fighting against hordes of demons.
"Time we don't heave!" Vaggie snapped. "How may Exterminators will have gone by before these idiots get their shit together? How many times will we have to watch your people be killed before we make headway?"
"Vaggie..."
"I took charge today and it all went sideways. I'm supposed to make your dreams a reality. I'm supposed to protect you." Vaggie continued as she takes Charlie by the shoulders, then goes back to the rooftop. "I'm supposed to never fail you."
"I blame you for this, you crazy bitch!" The voice of Angel Dust shouts.
"You didn't fail me. Vaggie, you're not-you're not-"
"If I can't help you, what's the point of me?" Vaggie questions when she turns away, making Charlie gasp.
"Vaggie, don't say that! You do so much! It's-"
"I'm sorry. I'd...I'd like to be alone right now." Vaggie cuts in sadly.
As Charlie walks to the other side of the rooftop, an exhausted Angel Dust comes out of the door, carrying a battered, but in tact Sir Pentious, before he throws him onto the roof.
"Made it!" Angel Dust said with a heavy pant, but smiled.
"Let's go home, guys." Charlie suggests sadly, walks to the door.
"Ugh! I just walked up all those stairs!" Angel Dust groans in annoyance.
As Angel Dust pulls Sir Pentious back down the stairs, Vaggie stays on the rooftop by herself.
The scene changes to show Carmilla, Odette, Clara, and Zestial all in a room together, with the Egg Boi spying on them from behind a pot plant. Carmilla mutters in Spanish as she pours herself a drink, before beginning to down the bottle instead of the glass she poured herself.
"Carmilla, what troubles thou?" Zestial inquires. "Losing thy composure is unlike thee."
"It's nothing, Zestial, really." Carmilla told him with a sigh.
"The felled angel...t'was by thy hand, was it not?" Zestial inquires again, raising his eyebrows.
"Let's not talk about it." Carmillia said, walk towards her desk.
"Mom...maybe he should know." Clara protests.
"Nobody should know." Carmilla snapped, slams her hands at the desk. "I did what I had to do. I am not discussing this."
Zestial (Sings):
What weighs on your soul, old friend?
I implore you to share the load!
If it was thou who slew the angel, why not let your strength be known?
Carmilla (Sings):
I always thought
That I would keep blood off my face
But when that thing attacked, I had to act, to cross that line and keep them safe
But if anyone knew, then all of Hell would rise to war, and who's to say?
Who'd survive the fray?
I might lose the ones that I'd been killing for!
So, I'll...I'll be your keeper!
Do whatever it takes, I'll make the mistakes!
I'll keep you safe and keep this secret
The scene changes to Vaggie, now at the foot of the hotel and beginning to climb up.
Vaggie (Sings):
When I saw your face, you made me feel like a stranger in a brand new place
And it felt so good to be understood!
But there's so much I wished that I could say
So I, I'll be your armor
Do whatever it takes, I'll make the mistakes
I'll spend my life being your partner
Carmilla (Sings):
And I don't know what we might face
But I know I can't replace you
So I'll do anything to save you
Vaggie (Sings):
And I will try to make your dreams come true
Carmilla and Vaggie (Sings):
Whatever we go through
I know I
(I'll be your keeper)
(I'll be your armor)
Whatever it takes
(I'll make the mistakes)
(I'll make the mistakes)
Whatever it takes
The scene changes to the Egg Boiz scavenging for weapons, parts, and garbage in a dumpster.
"Ohhhh, this one smells like fun."
"Oh, I love garbage."
The elevator door rings, and Alastor, Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia are waiting for the Egg Boi to return after spying on Carmilla and Zestial. He's about to join them when Alastor stops him.
"So, what did you hear?" Alastor asks.
"First, the old guy w-was all, 'You're not yourself. You're the one who killed the angel.' a-a-and she was all, 'whatever it takes'."
"And then what was the last thing?" Alastor questions again.
"She killed the angel?"
"What?!" Antauri, Felicia, and Octavia exclaims in shock.
"Interesting. Lets keep this between us...shall we?" Alastor suggests with an evil grin that statics the whole screen for a brief moment.
"You got it, boss!"
The Egg Boi salutes to Alastor.
Back at the inside of the hotel, Charlie looks down after a disastrous trust exercise. Vaggie came on the balcony to see her.
"Hey." Vaggie greets with a wave.
"Hey." Charlie greets back, also with a wave.
"I'm sorry I got so crazy today." Vaggie apologized with a sad sigh.
"No, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I put pressure on you." Charlie said, grabs Vaggie's hands. "We work as a team. I guess I just thought all this would be easier, but...we'll figure it out...together. I mean, look what your exercise did for them.
The scene pans over to Angel Dust, Sir Pentious, and Niffty laughing amongst themselves after one crazy battle against the demons in a turf war.
"And then, when that buff guy started beating the shitoutta you!" Angel Dust said with a laugh.
"Yes, and with the dismembered arm...Yes, that was particularly unpleasant." Sir Pentious said with a laugh for a few seconds, but dejectedly.
"I like that part." Niffy states with a giggle.
"Well, hey, at least you take a beating like a champ." Husk told him, impressed as he comes over and pats him. "You did okay, new kid."
"Really? Oh well, I suppose I did get into a little of the rough and tumble today." Sir Pentious said with a laugh. "And uh...Thank you for pulling me out of there."
Everyone laughs with enjoyment, but Niffty had to ruin the moment when she started to maniacally laugh evilly in front of her peers, and the guys stopped after hearing her laughter turning sadistic.
"Well, how about that?" Vaggie said with a smile.
The front door opens, and Alastor, Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia enters the hotel with the Egg Boiz minion tailing behind them. Vaggie notices them and calls out to Alastor.
"Alastor...Failed to get rid of the eggs, I see." Vaggie said with a teasing smirk.
"Ha ha, very funny, Vaggie." Felicia remarked with sarcasm.
"That aside, these little monsters prove to be rather useful." Alastor replied.
As the end of the sentence, Alastor glows with the excitement over the new information he received about the overlords.
"How'd the trust exercise go?" Octavia asks.
"It had ups and downs, but it worked out in the end." Charlie replied.
"And Alastor, why don't you give them back to Pentious." Vaggie suggests.
Upon hearing this, Sir Pentious gets teary with Vaggie is allowing him to keep his minions.
"Really?" Sir Pentious asks in teary eyes.
"Yeah. After today, I guess I can trust you with them." Vaggie replied. "But seriously, no more weapons."
At the last part, with every word, the camera zooms with every sword sound at her narrowing eyes, showing how serious Vaggie is about no more building weapons.
Sir Pentious emotionally and slithers down to hug his Egg Boiz as Alastor, Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia walks away.
"Ahhh! My eggs!" Sir Pentious shouts with a sob. "Yay. Ah, it's so good to have you back. Now, go clean my quarters this instant!"
At his command, the Egg Boiz immediately scatters away as Charlie and Vaggie watched them leave.
"Maybe, things'll move fast than you think." Charlie said with a smile.
At the end of the day, Sir Pentious was getting ready for bed with his Egg Boiz in tow.
"Ah! How was your day with Alastor, Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia, my minions?" Sir Pentious asks in a relaxing tone, fluffing his pillow.
"It was awesome boss, I went to this meeting and there was a knife lady, an old guy, and a dinosaur."
"Mmm, that's nice." Sir Pentious said.
"And the knife lady killed an angel, and I was not supposed to talk about it."
"Oh, I'm so sure and maybe you'll meet Martians tomorrow, but now is time for sleep." Sir Pentious said in a sleepy tone. "Good night, Eggies."
The Egg Boiz roll over to Sir Pentious and cuddle together as one of the Egg Boi yawns to sleep, while everyone was completely oblivious to the whole thing.
That's it for the 26th chapter.
