43 Days Left Until Extermination...
Niffty groaned opening her eye looking around to see that she was in a dark room. She struggled to get up only to find the she was bound and tied up to a chair. "Where am I?"
Then it all back to her. Baxter and her were enjoying there date until a tall pig demon interrupted them. The last thing she remembered was Baxter lying on the ground as the demon started beating him up throwing punches and kicks until her vision went dark as she punched as well, knocked unconscious. Suddenly, there was a shuffle in the darkness.
"Baxter!" Niffty called out frantically. "Is that you?" A light came on revealing the pig demon standing in front of her with huge sickening grin that sent shivers down her spine.
"Afraid not, just me." The demon replied. They were in a butchery factory. Niffty looked around nervously seeing some "meat" hanging on hooks as well as some left over corpses of demons half decayed. There an assortment varieties of cutting tools hanging on the wall. Not to far off in the room, there was a large grinder that was on as it grinded up of the meat. She didn't see Baxter anywhere. Niffty gulped nervously turned her attention to the pig demon.
"What did you do him?" She asked.
"He's probably still lying ground beaten to a bloody pulp thanks to yours truly. He's definitely some others demon's meal or if not the crows will finish him."
"You bastard!" Niffty screamed.
The pig laughed and began to advance towards the cyclops demon. "My what colorful language you have. You certainly have changed, my dear." He brushed Niffty's cheek with his hand, while she moved her head away.
"What are you talking about? I don't know you!" Niffty shouted. "Let me go!"
The pig demon had an evil glint in in his eyes which made Niffty's blood run cold. Dark cold eyes, black as coal, stared back into hers as if they were staring straight into her soul.
"Maybe, this will help?" The demon started as he began circling around Niffty like a vulture. A predator hungry for his prey. "Long ago, there was a woman who was deeply devoted to her husband. She was submissive and obedient and did everything to please him in every way. In return, her husband gave her everything that she could have ever wanted: a house, food and the clothes on her back. However, one day everything changed. How did the wife repay him? By selfishly stabbing him, repeatedly, in the back!" He barked angrily as he finished. Niffty's eyes widened. It couldn't be...
"You!" She gasped in fear.
"Yes, me! The man who gave you everything, you little bitch!" Her ex spatted angrily right into her face. She cringed as she felt some spit hit her cheeks.
"You gave me no choice!" Niffty defended. "I couldn't take it anymore. I had to protect myself!" She looked down pausing, as she trembled hands shaking in fear. "How did you even find me?"
Niffty's ex grinned. "I saw the radio demon's and some other preachy slut show advertising the princess's ridiculous hotel idea. Guess who was the center of the entertainment...you." Niffty stared quietly at him not saying a word as she stunned with shock.
"You know, I am willing to give you another chance and forgive you, if you come back to me." Her ex said. "I'll even forgive you for cheating on me with that worthless pathetic nerd. Just drop this redemption nonsense and come back to me."
She glared up at him with a burning fire in her eye. "Go. to. hell." She hissed.
"You are nothing compared to him. You are nothing but a mere shell of the man that I once loved. The beatings, the humiliation, that's not love. I only realized that when I met Baxter. He's gentle, kind, sometimes quirky and twitchy and shy but that's what I love about him. He would never hurt me like you did. My Baxter is better than you in every way." Niffty laughed. "And at least he can get it up." She finished gesturing with her finger pointing it upwards. Her ex glared furiously at her with his teeth snarling.
"Well, you left me with no choice," Her ex turned around and began rummaging through the doors of the desk searching for something. Niffty struggled to get free from her ropes. "What are doing?!"
Niffty stiffened as she saw her ex husband turned around. Her looked down and her eyes widened seeing an angel's weapon, a crossbow, in his hand. He wouldn't...
"What ever you are planning to do, don't. We can talk it out please!" Niffty pleaded. "I'm sorry for what I did to you! You have to let it go!"
Her ex fixed the arrow string setting it up. "Till death do us part my dear," he replied. "Once I use this on you, I'll use it myself." Niffty shook her head desperately trying to break her ropes. But, she wasn't strong enough.
"Please, don't do this!" She exclaimed. "You know what happens to demons once there killed with an angel's weapon. There's no coming back!"
"I know what happens, I've made up my mind," Her ex answered. He aimed the bow directly at her. "I won't let anyone have you, especially not by some scientist bastard. It'll be just you and me, forever. Whether it's double hell or oblivion, I'll take my chances."
"No!" Nifty screamed, shutting her eye tightly.
The arrow fired heading directly towards her. As it inch closer, it suddenly missed as Niffty was knocked down. The bolt embedded itself in the wall. The chair toppled over and landed on it's side. Niffty opened her eye and saw that it was a shadow that made it fall. Niffty gasped as she felt her body relax, relieved to see one of Alastor's shadow. Her ex eyes widened in shock.
"What the hell?!" He shouted.
The door slammed open as Alastor kicked it open. Shoes clacked on the floor as the deer demon walked in the room along with everyone else. Baxter ran over to Niffty untying the ropes.
"You came!" Niffty cried. She hugged him tightly not wanting to let go, scared that she would loose him again.
"Have a little faith in me," Baxter wiped away the tears that were staining her cheeks with his thumb. "Of course I did. "
The pig demon backed away from the group, while nervously staring at the red grinning deer demon that was in front of him in fear.
"So I assume you are the miserable lowlife that took her?" Alastor questioned still grinning. Niffty's ex shook body trembling in fear, teeth chattering as he nervously sweated. He didn't answer him.
"Speak up, My dear lad!" Alastor declared. "I can't hear you!"
"Y-Yes..."
"Good man!" Alastor smiled, pleased. Anna walked over to Niffty and Baxter.
"Are you alright?" She asked. Niffty nodded. Anna turned her head back over towards Niffty's ex.
"Why did you take her?" she asked. Niffty's ex glared at everyone in the room.
"That little bitch betrayed me!" Niffty's ex growled.
"Language, sir! There are ladies present!" Alastor interrupted. He was gripping his staff tightly in his hand. He wanted to snap his neck.
"You need to let this go," Anna pressed. "Getting revenge is not going to do you any good."
"She's right, " Charlie agreed. "And we can help you!" Niffty's ex let out a strange laugh, shaking his head.
"You know what? Fuck you!" Niffty's ex glared at Anna and Charlie dangerously with a low growl. "I don't need some preachy little sluts telling me what I should of shouldn't do!" He roared angrily. Anna backed away a little scared. He was too far gone, out of it.
The pig demon fired an arrow at Anna and Alastor pulled her out of the way. The two landed on the floor with a thud. Anna on the bottom, Alastor on top of her. He growled, slowly turning his head, creaking as it did, towards the demon. As Alastor stood up, his body began to grow along with his antlers. Growing longer, gangly, and higher, becoming more deformed. A loud static followed by a eerie screech soon followed. Anna stared at the monstrous form with wide eyes, fearfully as did everybody else.
Niffty's ex stared in horror as he ready the crossbow aiming at Alastor, firing it. The bolt shot out heading towards the deer demon but Alastor caught it. The arrow hissed in his hand, burning it. He chuckled darkly as black eyes filled with static stared back at the cowering demon in front of him. In a flash, Alastor lunged forward stabbing the arrow deeply into Niffty's ex head.
Her ex stumbled back, falling backwards, right into the meat grinder. A sickening crunching sound was heard until the machine stopped. Everyone stared in stunned silence in horror and In shock. Alastor shrunk back down to his normal form, then bend down and picked up some of the chopped up bits of whatever that was left Niffty's ex.
Alastor laughed. "Well, that's unfortunate." As he turned to face the others, he paused seeing Charlie's angry gaze at him.
"Alastor, why did you do that?!" She screamed, furiously. Alastor stared back with wide eyes and a large smile.
"I do believe that Niffty has been saved." He replied.
"You didn't have to kill him!" Chad shouted. "He could've gotten help!"
"No, he wouldn't," Anna answered. Charlie turned to her with wide eyes.
"He was too far gone." Anna explained as she continued. "I saw it in his eyes and I tried to reach out to him. He was driven by pride and revenge, which ultimately lead to his demise in the end."
"You don't know that. Maybe, there could've been some other way..." Anna shook her head.
"Charlie, I'm sorry. But, there wasn't." Anna said.
Suddenly, Niffty's contract drifted out of Alastor's suit pocket, hovering in the air. The it started ripping itself to pieces. Everyone stared at it confused.
"What's going on?" Vaggie asked.
Alastor smiled. "Well, it seems you are no longer in need of my protection. That was the deal, was it not?" He explained.
Suddenly, Niffty was met with an overwhelming pain which brought her to her knees. She gripped her head tightly, screaming. Baxter kneeled down beside her in worry.
"What's wrong?!"
"My whole body hurts. " Niffty moaned. "It feels like it's on fire."
Suddenly, there was a bright light, blinding everyone. As it dimmed, everyone's eyes widened in shock staring in disbelief at what's in front of them. A pale woman with strawberry blond hair, a pair of two hazel eyes fluttered under thick eyelashes. Her was height was medium sized but still small skinny arms and legs. She was wearing Niffty's dress, in fact, it was Niffty. She was back in her original human form. She stared at her hands shock still not believing what she was seeing as well.
"I-I can't believe it..." The princess murmured still stunned in shock and disbelief. "You've been redeemed!"
"You can leave!" Vaggie exclaimed. Niffty shook her head.
"I'm not going without Baxter!" She stated.
"I guess she can stay at the hotel in the meantime until we can figure this out. I'm going to call my dad and give him the news. He's not going to believe this!" Charlie explained.
As everyone left the room, Anna turned to Alastor seeing him looking over some of the meat. She felt her heart beat faster at the sight of him. He was so majestic and even more alluring than she noticed. Anna hated to admit but, she was falling more in love him. Then Anna heard crunching sounds as she snapped out of her thoughts to see Alastor munching on some of the meat that was splattered. On second thought, maybe not...
Alastor stopped seeing her staring at him.
"Oh pardon me where are my manners. Do you want some?" He offered handing some out to her. Anna cringed in disgust.
"No thanks," She replied , feeling like she was going to throw up. "Let's just go."
Alastor shrugged. "More for me then." He followed after her, leaving.
Unbeknownst to everyone, high above the city, there was a floating white planet with a ring around it like a halo. A winged figure with blond hair, steel grey eyes, dressed in a black suit, an exterminator. He stared down at the city with an emotionless expression with a hint of disgust in his eyes. Another angel landed beside him looking down at the city below. He had blond hair as well, however slightly more curly, blue eyes and rosy red cheeks, wearing a white suit and armor pads adorned his shoulders. He looked completely identical to the king of hell, in fact he was his twin.
"Gabriel, what's wrong?" The blue eyed angel asked.
"I sense a strong disturbance below us, Michael. It's coming from that traitor's city." Gabriel replied. "It's unnatural."
He stretched his wings out. "I'm going down there see what's up. Don't tell, father."
"No!" Michael hissed. "You know that we're not allowed! Have you've forgotten our dad's and brother's truce. We are not to interfere with Luci's business and he the same with ours!"
"Don't call him that!" Gabriel snapped. "He lost the right to be called our brother the moment he abandoned us!"
Michael backed away in stunned silence. "Gabriel..."
"You can come or not. Either way, I'm going down there, truce or not!" Gabriel declared. He took off heading down towards the city.
As everyone arrived at the hotel, they stopped seeing that the door was opened. Maybe one of the guests forgot? Charlie looked down and saw a bouquet of white and red roses on the doorstep. She paused seeing them and picked it up. She opened the door more and inside the standing in the lobby was a tall man. He had pale grey skin, red eyes green and yellow pupils, dressed in a green suit with a yellow bowtie and outline and top hat with sharp edges at the top that looked like teeth and eyes as well. The princess dropped the flowers staring at the man in shock.
"it can't be..." Charlie gasped staring in disbelief. Vaggie had her spear out pointing it at him.
"Seviathian..."
