After the news ended, Charlie and Vaggie decided to look up recent activities with Negative Magic in Hell. The first thing they found was a website offering services for fast and easy demolition. It even included a promotional video. Charlie and Vaggie glanced over at each other before looking back at the video and hitting play.
"Hello there, sinners of all ages! You may not know me just yet, so allow me to introduce myself. I'm Nightfright, your friendly neighborhood chaos bringer and demolitionist. Are you a big shot with a lot of souls or someone who has a lot of souls and wants to destroy something? Want an old building, skyscraper or anything else destroyed in less than an hour? Look no further! Me and my new revolutionary way of doing it, that may or may not include Living Nightmares, can do just that for you! Our methods may be a little bit destructive but they get the job done in no time" said Nightfright.
The next shot in the video shows a building instantly collapsing into a pile of rubble.
"But, hey, don't take my word for it! Listen to these reviews from these satisfied customers" said Nightfright.
The next shots in the video are of two demons being interviewed and giving their honest opinion on Nightfright's demolition services.
"Nightfright's services are crazy good! Sure, they're a little bit destructive but he really does get things demolished and blown to smithereens in no time" said a sinner.
"There was an old decrepit building near my place that was blocking my view. So I paid Nightfright and he had it demolished in an instant! Forget an hour! He had it torn down in less than 5 minutes" said another sinner.
The final shot of the video showed a phone number, the price for demolition and in big red letters – NO REFUNDS!
"Do YOU want something demolished or destroyed? Well don't just sit there! Call now! We are not responsible for cleanup and/or any accidental deaths that may occur during the chaos" said Nightfright.
After that, the video ended, leaving Charlie and Vaggie speechless as they glanced over at each other before looking back at the screen.
Meanwhile…
Alastor left to attend an emergency meeting that Carmilla Carmine has called, regarding the so-called Nightmare Demon. He was almost at the lift to the building when Zestial appeared before him.
"Hark, Alastor" he said.
"Greetings, Zestial. I think we both know why Carmilla called this emergency meeting" said Alastor.
"Indeed. Thou have seen and heard about the one thy call the Nightmare Demon" said Zestial.
"Everyone has. I can only assume that's why this emergency meeting was called" said Alastor.
"It would appear so" said Zestial.
After getting inside the lift, both Zestial and Alastor sensed the presence of someone else in the lift with them.
"Does thou sense it" Zestial asked.
"Yes, we are not alone in this life" Alastor replied.
That was when they both heard the sound of hands clapping coming from behind them. They both looked but saw nobody there.
"Bravo, I must applaud" said a male voice.
It was at that moment that Nightfright turned visible, tentacles, wings and all, with a smile on his face.
"So, thou are the one they call the Nightmare Demon" said Zestial.
"Yes, Zestial, that would be me. Nightfright is the name and I must say, it's quite an honor to meet you both" he said.
"The honor is all ours, I'm sure" said Alastor.
Just then, the elevator reached the top floor.
"Let's keep this to ourselves for just a little bit longer, shall we? Let's not ruin the surprise" said Nightfright.
He snickered as he turned invisible again. Both Zestial and Alastor looked at each other and nodded, deciding to play along. It should be quite interesting to see how the other Overlords react to Nightfright crashing the meeting that's supposed to be about him. They all exited the lift and went to the meeting room. Once inside they all sat down as Carmilla Carmine made her way to the head of the table.
"Welcome back, everyone. I've called you here for this emergency meeting to discuss a very important topic at hand" said Carmilla.
"I assume this has to do with the newest Overlord in town" Alastor asked her.
"Very observant, Alastor. You are indeed correct. The Nightmare Demon, his army of Living Nightmares and his ability to harness and use Negative Magic pose a dire threat to not just us but everyone and everything in this entire city" she replied.
"I mean no disrespect but you are just being dramatic and paranoid" said a voice.
They all looked over at the empty chair across the table and that was the moment Nightfright turned visible again. Everyone in the room, except for Zestial and Alastor, were taken aback.
"Hello, I won't be a problem at all. Carmilla, is it" he asked her.
"Yes and I assume you are the so-called Nightmare Demon" she asked him.
"Please, call me Nightfright" he replied.
"If you really do have an army of Living Nightmares at your beck and call, you are a potential liability risk, Nightfright. How do you plead" Carmilla asked him.
Nightfright chuckled as he put his left hand on his chest and raised his right hand.
"Not guilty, your honor" he said.
Carmilla and her daughters were not amused. The other Overlords at least smiled after that joke.
"But in all seriousness, I won't be a problem at all. What I did, well…what better way to introduce yourself than a good show of strength" he said.
Carmilla simply crossed her arms.
"What can you bring to the table" she asked him.
"Well, I'm the only one who can harness and use Negative Magic to start with. Then, of course, there is the matter of the Living Nightmares I have at my beck and call" he replied.
"Do you provide any kind of service" Zeezi asked him.
"Yes, demolition. Fast and easy demolition" he replied.
"You've clearly demonstrated you are more than capable in that field" said Carmilla.
"Absolutely" said Nightfright.
"How many souls do thou own" Zestial asked him.
"Plenty. Not as many as the rest of you, but plenty" he replied.
Everyone else in the room now felt comfortable with Nightfright being there among them, since it seemed like he was just like the rest of them. Everyone was comfortable except for Carmilla, who was still skeptical about the idea of letting Nightfright join their ranks.
"How do we know we can trust you" she asked him.
"I've met Lucifer himself before and, believe it or not, he trusts me" he replied.
Everyone was taken aback.
"What? You all didn't really think I'd keep my abilities a secret without informing his majesty about them? Considering what happened with the last demon who had the power to harness and use Negative Magic" Nightfright asked.
"Fair enough" said Alastor.
Carmilla sighed.
"Fine, then. Welcome to the club, Nightfright" said Carmilla.
Nightfright smiled.
"Thank you, Carmilla. I am honored" he said.
"Don't mention it. Anyways…now that Nightfright is one of us, this emergency meeting is over" said Carmilla.
After that, all the other Overlords got up and left. Outside, Nightfright was approached by Alastor.
"You seem to be going places, Nightfright" said Alastor.
"I most certainly am. Alastor, was it" Nightfright asked him.
"Yes, I assume you've heard of my radio broadcasts" he asked him.
"The ones that aren't just screams remind me of the radio my grandpa had when I was a kid. I loved listening to the music coming out of that thing" he replied.
Alastor immediately gained some respect for Nightfright as he just informed the Radio Demon that he had and appreciated radio as a child.
"Are you available by any chance" Alastor asked him.
Nightfright raised an eyebrow.
"For what" he asked him.
"To come and see what me and my business partner are doing" he replied.
Nightfright raised an eyebrow.
"Which is" he asked him.
"A hotel that rehabilitates sinners. I run it with Lucifer's delusional daughter, Charlotte Morningstar" he replied.
"Oh, you mean the Hazbin Hotel. Sorry, I'm actually running short on time today. Maybe some other time" said Nightfright.
"Very well" said Alastor.
"But since we're both heading in the same direction, I wouldn't mind the company. Polite individuals like yourself are hard to come by in Hell these days" said Nightfright.
"Why, thank you! I'll take that as a compliment" said Alastor.
After that, the two began walking away. Every demon that saw them became wide-eyed and intimidated, some even ran away and hid.
