Hello One and All in Interweb Land!
It seems our little Princess is on the hunt for Godzilla...Oh Jesus she's going to get murdered. Can't tell if she is brave or just suicidal but it'll be interesting none the less!
Might as well see how this turns out. Hope you guys enjoy!
TO FIND A KING AND HOPE ONE DOES NOT SHIT ONE'S PANTS!
Three days have past since Extermination Day came and went and all was surprisingly calm…for Hell at least. Everyone was talking about that day and what went down, normally when a vast majority of Demons were killed, space and territories open to the opportunists who act upon it and it becomes a free for all. But this time around not as many were killed because of an unexpected intervention of one that somehow killed hundreds of angels in a single fight all alone. That idea alone was preposterous for the fact to take down one of them you either have to be lucky or the angel was sloppy and that is considered hard enough, but hundreds? Now that was impossible.
Yet that's what happened. A dinosaur-like creature came out of nowhere and started slaughtering any angel that came in his sight and the angels themselves seemed to be unable to kill it no matter what weapon they had or how many there were. It was a massacre of unprecedent scale that not only stumped so many but have some fearing the dinosaur, if anything that can hand the angel's ass on a silver plater like that was something not to cross.
How does anyone know about this, well it seemed a bunch of unlucky idiots that work for the local 666 News were in the area when Godzilla was killing the angels and filmed the whole thing. Why were they out in the carnage in the first place…considering where they live its not much of a stretch to figure that out.
"Morning every Demon and Sinner out there, I'm Katie Killjoy." Said a female demon behind a news anchor desk.
She is a rather tall slim demon with white skin, red eyes with pin sizes yellow pupils, short blonde hair, long neck, red lips, and yellow-stain teeth. She wore a red dress that outline her figure rather nicely especially around her firm breasts, slim waists, and wide hips. And even though she is smiling you can tell it was a fake venom filled one.
"And I'm Tom Trench." A short demon talked next to Katie.
This one wore a grey suit with a light grey collared shirt, a red tie, black gloves, and a red pocket square. What was most distinguish feature he wore a WW1 gas mask which goes into his shirt yet oddly lets his slick ashy blonde hair flow.
…oh great, these numbnuts.
A T.V. screen showed two very different looking Demons sitting next to each other with smiles though it was fake. These two are the head anchors of 666 News and as you can expect from a name like that, they post the news for all to see but they are assholes about it. Especially the female one.
"Today we continue with the coverage that everyone, and I do mean everyone, can't seem to shut the fuck up about." Katie said with a smile but you can tell she wasn't into it.
"That's right Katie, for those too retarded to hear about it and I'm guessing there's a lot of you, during our last Cleansing a massive number of Exterminators were killed off one by one by a creature that looks like an edgelord dinosaur that tried way too hard at the nerd convention. It seemed to come out of nowhere and without warning, started slaughtering them with no mercy. And Holy Hell is it gruesome, I mean check this shit out!" He pointed next to him in an exciting manner as a screen appeared by his head.
It was a video tape of Godzilla's fight with the angels but sped up and only showing the really gory stuff.
"…Got to say…even though I've seen this dozens of times and it looks like it came from a shitty fanfiction that tries to be painfully edgy…it's no fucking joke, the thing is like some sort of killing machine that was cranked up to 12." Katie actually sounded impressed.
"However, this does raise the question, where in hell did this thing come from and is it actually a demon?"
"As far as anyone with a few brain cells can tell…yeah no clue what so ever. It's hard to tell if it is a Demon as we can see here that one of the Exterminator Weapon, which should kill any Demon on contacted, did little to him." Tom paused the video showing what he was saying.
"So, whether or not this creature is a Demon or where it come from is up in the air but you can bet your ass we have vague theories, dumbass explanations, and bullshit facts by people who have no life of their own just to waist our time. And for those wondering where we got this exclusive clip from some of our people who for some strange reason were outside that came across this fight and instead of hiding like little pussies they stayed in an area that had a heavily group of angels I must add and gave us this great clip. Truly brave people indeed." Tom said proudly saluting.
"Actually, we just wanted some film of others being killed so we picked a few interns that I don't like, gave them a camera, and kicked them out of the studio. I figured they just die so I won't have to deal with them but we got this instead so good job not dying dipshits." Killjoy said offhandedly not caring.
"…Yeah…that too…in any case, because of this clip every Demon from the lowly nobodies to the Overlords themselves can't seem to get enough about it wanting more and so do we!"
"I honestly don't give a fuck but your right about even the Overlords wanting to know about…what was this things name?" Katie turned to Tom.
"Well we don't know if it actually has one but many in Hell are calling him…The Angel Slayer!"
As Tom said that in a dramatic tone Godzilla's picture showed again with the words 'Angel Slayer' over it in red words in a style like those old horror films did.
"…Seriously…we're going with that? Goddamn what a weak name, bet it was one of those nerdy losers who died as a virgin because he was wanking off to some cartoon porn to actually get laid." Katie groaned.
"It's called hentai-which I know nothing about…just heard it once…and never looked it up." Tom tried to hide that particular embarrassing knowledge.
"Not even surprise at this point…back on track. As I was saying it seems any Demon in power is looking for this creature. Though the exact reason as of now is unknown, but given who is looking for it and what that thing can do makes it kinda obvious so now its open season on its ass. Which brings us to a rather unusual twist, despite so many Demons looking for this thing, it seemed to…just disappeared." Katie said with a raised eyebrow.
"No, your heard correct folks, despite the Angel Slayer being a goddamn 8-foot-tall, laser shooting, scary as fuck, walking death machine, any and all sighting of it just seemed to vanish. There have been rumors but nothing concrete has held as of date. Some suggest this thing just left Hell after killing the angels which is VERY unlikely. Others believe it could be hiding somewhere in Hell but again, the damn thing can't just go ninja or hide in a motel looking like that without anyone noticing something! And then there's this one theory that says the dinosaur is actually the physical manifestation of slain Demons of the past that merged to reek revenge on the Exterminators…man whoever thought of this one must have been blasted to a new plain of existence." Tom said looking bewildered at reading that.
"It all sounds like crap to me but its honestly not that surprising. We have so many pathetic little bitches out there that think their ideas will matter but, in the end, just shows how desperate and weak they all are that one could just squish them with ease. Shit, that last 'theory' is more likely than that one stupid idea of 'retention' or whatever that slut was talking about happening." Katie said off-handed acting like it was nothing but had a snarky tone in her voice.
"Guess someone is still pissed the Princess whooped their ass on live feed." Tom said under his breath.
Suddenly Tom was yanked from his chair and came face to face with a very angry looking women who look like she was ready to just snap and tear him a new one right then and there.
"It seems my hearing isn't what it used to be cause I didn't quite catch that." Katie said with a venom filled grin that just screams murder.
"I-uh-I said the ideas may be shit but with so little info on the Angel Slayer its like you said, any dumbass with a mouth will say any crappy theory." Tom quickly spoke trying to cover his ass.
"…That's what I thought you said you little pussy." She shoved him back to his chair and turned back to the camera.
"We'll come back to this hot mess in a moment but for-" The screen turned black ending the show there.
"Well that led nowhere…why did I even think that would help?" Charlie sighed placing her remote next to her.
Said person was sitting at her desk in her office at the hotel going over a few key moments that happened in the past few days.
The Princess of Hell was having a rather so-so problem on her hands. After Godzilla left that day her life was getting…unexpecting turns and events that Charlie herself didn't see coming. Some good, some bad, and some just perplexing to say the least. To start off her plan to announce her 'Passion Project' through the news ended rather…fucked to put it bluntly. But surprisingly it wasn't a complete wash up as now she has an unexpected helping hand getting the hotel into tip top shape, despite Vaggie's worries about who this helping hand is. Which there is merit for that.
The person Vaggie has worries about is called 'The Radio Demon' and he was not someone to take likely. A Demon with a terrifying reputation, a smile that chills you to the bone, a voice that makes you go numb, and the eerie feeling that he gives off every time he enters a room. And it all seems to be amusement to him, a sort of joy he gets from making people around him feel scared or uncomfortable. This and much more made him one of the most feared Demons Hell has ever seen. Charlie knows this well but she also saw a huge opportunity at the same time. While she understands he is only lending his services for entertainment purposes, she also can't deny he can help get her hotel in a decent looking way and actually brought in extra hands was a massive boon.
Despite why he's doing this Charlie knows she can't refuse any help coming her way as she knows it's slim pickings out there. Plus, she thinks if she can reform the motherfucking Radio Demon then that would prove to everyone that she isn't a joke nor is her idea dumb and they can eat their shit words.
Hey, she might be the Avatar of Happiness and Joy but she too has an ego that can be bruised, she is a Demon after all.
But that was not her only speedbump.
Another example would be Godzilla himself. When that video hit the air waves everyone and their mother seemed to only talk about it, which Charlie can see why considering she was there to see it. But this also means that people are only thinking about him and not about the redemption idea, which kinda irks her. Charlie feels that because of this her idea was just easily swept away in favor of Godzilla's violence and killing, now that just rubs her the wrong way. She knows that's not his fault given no one knew that news crew was there to film it and for the fact that Godzilla has yet to be seen making it seem he would prefer to be left alone and have little to no contact. Yet Charlie feels he won't get any and sooner or later he will be found.
And it was the 'what after' that made her grimaced a little.
Charlie can't say for certain but from her experience, little there may be, it seemed Godzilla doesn't really care about much and has a rather calm nature. It would only seem that he would do anything unless someone pesters him enough or wants his death. Which paints the picture of a creature that may look frightening but was clear headed and mellow. That being said Charlie couldn't fool herself from also thinking that Godzilla doesn't scare the absolute shit out her and give her chills to the core, more so then the Radio Demon himself. She isn't as naïve as many think, she was well aware how dangerous and destructive Godzilla is when pushed far enough. Even though Godzilla seems to not let much get to him Charlie knows with some of the most vile and evil of Demons looking for him, Godzilla might just snap. For it would only need to be but that one moment that his restrain is gone and he will unleash his fury and power to all leaving only Dust, Destruction, and Death in his wake.
And that is what truly terrifies her more than anything.
Now the question was should she step in to stop a possible Armageddon or leave it be?
Charlie laid back in her chair crossing her arms thinking about it. Charlie feels as the Princess of her people she needs to prevent a possible onslaught that could happened, but can she do it? She herself has no clue she could do anything to stop or prevent it and believes no one in Hell could do shit either. She knows next to nothing about Godzilla, has no idea where he is, what his plans are, if he has desires, or what his next move will be if any. It was one of the reasons why she tuned to the news thinking they might have something and maybe give her an idea of how she could do this, which they didn't. Which just brought her back to square one of the 'possible' Godzilla problem. Or maybe nothing will happen at all and she is worrying over nothing. Hell, for all she knows he might of just wonder far away into Lord knows where and will never be seen again. She has heard stories about that happening before.
"I mean is there really anything I can do or say to persuade him to not go off the handle if someone does push his buttons? He seems to have little regard to anything others say to him, basically walk past anyone he doesn't deem worth his time, and most likely won't care to kill on the spot. So…yeah I'm pretty much screwed on actually doing anything about this. Maybe I should just let this one go and just let whatever happens, happen. He doesn't act like a dumb brute of a animal that lashes out to any small thing, he's actually a lot smarter than most give him credit…actually he's probably smarter than half the souls here given he has them running around like idiots while he seems to be a step ahead of them…guess that makes him the smarty pants and them the dummies." Charlie couldn't help but giggled at her own lame joke.
"Perhaps letting this one slide would be the best option. I already have my hands full at the moment running the hotel and what not, still find guest who are willing to try this, and just generally making sure no one kills each other over stupid shit. Plus, I don't think he's all bad. A little rough around the edges maybe…ok a crap load rougher but all and all he seems good. He did save me and Vaggie from those angels and actually warned us about the attack. So, there is something about him that's not all death, terrifying, viciousness, and carnage. You know what, he might actually make…a…good…" Slowly the words die in her throat as her eyes widen a little.
It was sudden, like a lightning bolt striking through skies. A moment in time that seemed to slow down for her as something came into focus. Her mind clarified into an idea, almost an epiphany if you will, of something that could rock the very foundation of all life here. It was insane, over the top, and most likely suicidal to even think of such a crazy thing. But the outcome would be astronomically important to not only her but the future of her people.
"…What…if I…was…able to…redeem him…and…he goes to…heaven!" Charlie's mind went a thousand miles per second of her little epiphany.
This could be it; this just might be the thing that could catapult the hotel from mediocre laughingstocks to serious business with just one redemption. To Charlie it seemed like a God send, or the demonic equivalent to one, that she needs give the credibility that would help the hotel greatly. If she can pull this off then everyone who ever doubted her would choke their words hard for this redemption would trump any other. Angel Dust's redemption would have made people surprised and get them thinking it could work. The Radio Demon's redemption would make them dumbfounded and would get many to try. But Godzilla's redemption, that's just God-Tier 'Fuck You I was right now kneel and SUCK IT!' level of credibility and would make every Sinner begging for redemption…ok the last one might be a little over exaggerated but the point still stands.
Charlie couldn't hold it in any longer as she flung herself out of her chair and started jumping all over her office rubbing her cheeks while she squee in utter excitement all the while looking happy and cute as hell.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, YES! This is EXACTLY what I need to get this off the ground and to the stars! All those jerky put downs on me will end, the ridicule and scorn will wash away with this one act! I feel like I'm going to explode with so much excitement that I can barely take it. With this, Hell will be a better place for all filled with sunshine, puppies, kittens, rainbows, joy, smiles, happiness, laughter, singing, flowers, and so much MORE…Ok whoa there girl just…take a step back and breath. You can't let all those great thoughts cloud your mind. I need to take this seriously! I have no idea what challenges lay ahead or what I must do to pull this off but if a keep my cool, think clearly, assist the situation, plan the-OK FUCK THAT I'M OFF!"
Charlie grabbed her jacket, dropkick her door open almost dislodging it from the hinges, and sped down the hall like a racecar with no breaks giggling all the way like a hyped up 5-year-old.
What was that about not letting excitement overtake you? And she's gone…that lasted about…five seconds.
Charlie ran down the hallway to reach the front door going Mach 3. Turning sharply, she now had only the straightaway to the door and she really hoofed it. Her vision was a bit blurred from going as fast as she is that it all looked like it blended together into a mass of colors. It was to the point that she couldn't tell a chair from a lamp at that speed. Her excitement seems to cloud her judgment and perception that made her blind to all around her that it became so bad she had a very bad case of Target Fixation.
Bad enough that she couldn't see on object coming out in front of her till it was too late.
Charlie didn't know how but she suddenly felt she slammed into something hard that thrown both her and whatever she hit to the ground. The sudden impact of both the object and hitting the ground jogged her out of her 'Excitement High' and back to the real world rather harshly. She groaned in mild pain from it all to the point she had small tears in the corner of her eyes.
"Man, that stings, I guess I do deserve that since I acted like a fool and wasn't paying attention to my surroundings…again. Really need to work on that." She thought as she looked at what she hit.
And what she saw made her froze in fear.
"…well I'm screwed." She whispered to herself.
What she hit was another person but not any person but one of the most feared Demons in all of Hell. Said Demon let a low groan like she did indicating the person was not ready for the collision or the sudden pain from it. After a moment the person got up and brush some of the dust off themselves before turning to Charlie. The Demon was male and stood a solid 7-foot-tall and was rather slim built. His skin was a light ash grey tune with a red angled bob hair cut style that had two long cowlicks extended on top of his head like deer ears. The top parts were black as the lower parts of the rest of his hair. You can also see two small black antler-like horns on his head. His piercing eyes were red with his irises a lighter shade and black pupils with wears a black and red oval-shaped monocle over his right eye. He wore a dark red pinstriped coat which is slightly ragged along the bottom, a bright red dress shirt with a black cross on the chest underneath and long burgundy dress pants with matching bright red cuffs. He is also dressed in a red-knotted bowtie, burgundy gloves, and black pointed-toe boots.
This stylish person was none other than the Radio Demon.
"Of all the people I could slam into, it had to be Al…this could get ugly." Charlie grimaced a little at what might happen.
Al or Alastor as he is actually named looked at the Princess with an amused grin on his face with his eyes half shut giving off a slightly creepy vibe. Now one thing to know about him is he is always smiling but don't be fooled by the smile, for it will be your undoing. Beneath the façade of his happy demeaner is a true psychopathic killer that has carved fear into many Demons souls for decades slaughtering many while wearing a Joker-like grin all the while...basically a scary motherfucker in every aspect.
"My goodness dearie, you were going faster than a horse on race day. I haven't seen someone move that fast since my fifth Extermination Day…oh how he tried but it was ultimately useless." He said in an old radio voice chuckling a little of the memory.
"…Um…yeah sorry about that Al I…I guess I was a little too focus on…stuff." Charlie blushed a little feeling both unnerved and embarrassed.
"Think nothing of it Princess, it gets the better of us every now and then. Allow me." He held out his hand like a gentleman.
"Thanks." She accepted the gesture and let him help her back to her feet.
"My pleasure, so what got you in such a hurry?" He asks.
"Um…that's a little hard to say since as of now I don't know how it'll end myself. Kinda makes a mystery for both of us huh?" She said tapping her fingers over one another.
"A mystery you say, now that is intriguing. Is it a murder that needs solving, a lost treasure of untold wealth, the discovery of someone's true identity? Oh my don't leave our listeners hanging, the suspense could kill them!" Alastor made all these old-time radio sound effect reminiscing of private detective shows.
"Like I said it'll be kinda unclear until I know how it ends, how about this, once I come back, I will tell you everything down to the last detail. I won't be gone longer than sunset and not a second later. Sounds good?"
"Now you can't just leave us with such a tantalizing vague plot and think it'll do. It could lead to mass cliffhanger hysteria that will leave the audience mad with questions and thirsting for answers!" He acted out a scenario using shadows on the wall to visualize what he said.
"…Mass cliffhanger hysteria…going to have to call BS on that Al. But I leave you with this much, if what I do is successful then it'll change everything."
"Oh, like that doesn't add to the suspense unnecessary. It's great for entertainment, irritating in everything else. Luckily for you I do love a good suspense before a big reveal so I will wait. But don't hold out too long dear or I might be tempted to…force it a bit." Alastor got close to her face holding her chin giving her a sly grin saying that last part in an almost passionate way.
"Oh no problem…well better go bye!" She quickly rushed out the front door before he could do anything else.
"Now this will be interesting." He snickered darkly to no one in particular and went about his day.
Outside Charlie let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and was grateful to get out before it got too weird.
"Jeez Al way to lay it a little heavy in there, with how that sounded you almost think he was into intimacy or something. Good thing he isn't or else he would be a lot worse. Ok, let's see where that article was." Charlie pulled out her phone that she miraculously was able to remember from all that hyped and started looking through the web.
"Let's see…Blood removal special, no…Find your little psychotic lover, no…You Want We Sell drugs, dime a dozen…Enamel Triangle, sounds like a bad rom com…The Damned souls merge into a super being, could lead to a game that turns into whole universe of lore and story…U want big dick well this can do it, obviously a scam…Bojo's weekly orgy party pulled back till next week, that's gotta suck for some…new video of famous porn star for sale…I feel like that's Angel but I don't have time to disapprove…Dammit where is that stupid-aha finally!" Charlie exclaimed after scrolling through the page finding what she was looking for.
It was an article that talks about a rather strange phenomena that happened about 8 days ago of what appears to be a meteor crashing in a district called Wasteland. Years ago, this district was supposed to be an expansion of the city but someone fucked up royally and a large-scale fight broke out. Then someone had a brilliant idea to use a goddamn Tzar type bomb and now no one can live there…ideocracy at its finest folks. Now its only good for placing large scale damage things from vehicles to fucking buildings parts. Years of junk and such eventually gave birth to the name Wasteland.
Charlie had a sneaky suspicion that the meteor that crashed in Wasteland was actually Godzilla entering Hell since most souls come in the same way but never like that. Only he could make such a bombastic entrance like that. And because Wasteland was the very few places that was inhabitable with so much crap one could find any good hiding hole which would be perfect for the Kaiju King.
It was a long shot she knows and no real proof he's there still but considering all the clues point to a highly plausibility he might be around there. So, with nothing to lose she set her sight to Wasteland. Calling her most faithful servants, Razzle and Dazzle, and told them to meet her at the hotel with her personal limo. It took about 5 minutes but her ride came with the two goat demons in the driver's cabin. Once inside she told them where to go and the vehicle headed off to Wasteland. It was about an hour or so later before they reached the edge of the districted as Charlie got out and moved to the driver's window.
The window came down and popped out Razzle and Dazzle with smiles on their faces awaiting their next order.
"Ok guys listen carefully, I'll be going into Wasteland to find a…special guest for the hotel and while I'm doing this, I need you two to head to the palace and get the M.W.L. and bring it there." This made the two confused at the order.
"Um…you do know we can't just take something like the M.W.L. without special permission right Mistress?" Dazzle said with an unsure voice.
"You can get in trouble for it if anyone finds out about it…plus we…aren't good at driving those particular vehicles. We could damage it and get you deeper in trouble." Razzle explained further.
"That's sweet of you two to worry about me but I will take any flak if it goes down. And I understand you haven't driven something like that for a while but I assure you we'll need it." She patted their heads to comfort them.
"Why do you need something like that for one guest, this limo should do the trick." Razzle asks.
"I need the M.W.L. for it's space and weight capacity for this particular guest."
"And who is that?" Dazzle asks.
"I'll tell if you guys promise to not freak out too much and just trust me on this." The two looked at each other a little worried about what they'll hear.
It was a fact that sometimes their Mistress can get carried away with an idea that they would question the sanity of her idea but would follow none the less. The two turned back to her and agreed.
"Ok, I'm going to ask that dinosaur that was at our hotel days ago to try redemption."
It took about a minute for what she said to process in their brains and when it did hit them, they were instantly worried.
"Uh…are you sure that's wise Mistress? That dinosaur was very dangerous last time we saw it." Dazzle lowered his head in the limo in slight fear of the idea of coming into contact with Godzilla again.
"I know it's a huge risk but if a can make this work it'll be all worth it…I know he scares you, he scares me a little too, but I know he has a good side to him that if I can just get to him it'll work out in the end. I need you guys help in this since as you remember he's a big one so we'll need the M.W.L. to bring him back to the hotel without others knowing about it. Please guys I need your help on this." Charlie spoke softly to them rubbing their furry cheeks to calm them a bit.
The two we're unsure they should let her do this and feared her safety. But looking in her eyes calmed them a bit so the two looked at her with determine smiles and nodding.
"Thanks guys, you have no idea how much this will help. Now head to the Palace and tried to get the M.W.L. unnoticed. I know that's a tall order but I believe in you guys. I'll give you further instructions once you call me if you get it. Now off you two…and please be safe. Love you guys." Charlie gave them each a kiss on the nose.
"We will and please do the same around that creature…you know how deadly it can be…we love you too." They said their goodbyes and rode off to the Palace.
Once the limo was out of sight, Charlie turned to the desolate district feeling a bit nervous of how this will turn out. In all likely hood she would fail to convince Godzilla to even listen to her idea let alone agree. But she had to tried, this outcome could change everything.
"This is it, no turning back now. Now let's see if I can find that impact sight, that'll be a good place to start."
Charlie started her search for the crater all the while looking for any clues for Godzilla, the main thing she was on the lookout for bones. The bones of the Exterminators. If she could find at least one bone than she would be on the right track. 45 minutes past and she really hasn't found much. She checks building and places that would be big enough for him to live but found nothing. She was considering to perhaps look somewhere else, perhaps on of the location Godzilla was spotted from some eyewitness. As she turned a corner, she notices something, a large piece of road was sticking up as if something upturned it.
This got her attention. She went up to the piece and looked at it to see if there were any telltale signs to say how it got this way. It was obvious this wasn't done during the battle years ago as it looked like it was recently dislodging from the ground. Looking around her eyes landed a large hole that has scatter debris around it.
"There you are." Charlie smiled and walked over to the hole to get a better look.
She examines the hole and walked around the edge being careful where she walked knowing it could be unstable and it would be a pain in the ass to get out. Soon she saw something unusual, getting close she saw what appeared to be puncture marks in the concrete as if something dug their claws in it. There was three puncture marks which could be from Godzilla as he was most likely getting out of the hole.
"So far so good. Now if I can find one stinking bone than I know you were here."
Charlie walked around looking at the ground to find anything that might look like a bone. Soon she saw something in the corner of her eyes. Looking at it she saw what looked like a piece of a femur that was broken off at some point, it was white as teeth making this recent. Going over it, she picked it up to examine it closer. The edge where the bone broke off had teeth marks suggesting something chewed it off. But what really got her attention was the faint trace of Holy Energy that still lingered on it to the point it started to irritated her skin. This was the final clue she needed.
"So, you were at least here around Extermination Day, question is, are you still around?" Charlie spoke softly looking around a bit.
Deciding to see if she can find more clues, she tosses the bone in the crater and walked away from it in her continue search for Godzilla. Charlie thought to where to look next, perhaps going to the closet building would yield some results.
"Let's check over here guys, that's where the fireball landed. And keep your eyes our for the Angel Slayer. We're here to jump it not it jump us!" A male voice called out the distance.
Charlie whipped around to the voice direction and saw a group of demons coming in her direction. There was about five of them, three guys and two girls, all different in shape, sizes, and color. They had some sort of weapon or device to catch something, Charlie wonder if those were ment for Godzilla. As they came closer, Charlie looked around quickly for anywhere to hide. She figured if they find her it could lead to a heated conflict, something she wanted to avoid. She spotted a large pile of wrecked cars that would be perfect to hide so she quickly went to it and hid. Charlie would just wait for them to leave so she could go back in her search for Godzilla hoping their presence wouldn't make him leave before she could find him.
She could hear them get closer making her stay as still as possible. Soon she was able to hear their conversation and listen in.
"Oi mate, you reckon we'll find big ugly here? This place seems deader than a graveyard." One of the females asked who looked like a red bat.
"She's got a point dude, what makes you think the Angel Slayer was even here?" Asked a white wolf.
"I told you guys all this yesterday. I believe that fireball that landed here held that creature and since everyone knows Wasteland is pretty much a ghost town this would be the perfect place for it to lay low till everyone forgets it." Said a brown mantis-like Demon.
"Yeah that sounds legit but I thought others already scouted this place and found shit?" Asked a large cat Demon that was blue.
"Hey that's right, if those Demons couldn't find it than what makes you think we have a better shot?" A female Demon that looks like a succubus asked with a raised eyebrow.
(AN: I'm too lazy to give these guys anymore detail so sorry if these dudes lack more than this but…I'm lazy as fuck sometimes.)
"One, those were crack heads that got tricked into coming here and didn't really do crap. Two, we're a hell of a lot smarter than them. And three, we have a 100-million-dollar reason to look harder than anyone here." The mantis chuckled.
"There's a bounty on him? Guess I shouldn't be too surprised to hear someone has place a bounty on his head. Money is usually all you need to motivate someone." Charlie thought.
"I'm all for that but seriously, what will happen if we do find this thing? I highly doubt this stuff will do the job." The wolf held his net launcher up.
"Same with these guns, if those Exterminator Weapons did nothing to it than what chance will these do?" The bat asked.
"Those are just to distract it; this baby here will be the key to bring that bastard down." He showed them a rifle.
"I thought we were hunting monsters not rats?" The cat snickered.
"It holds a highly potent tranquilizing dart asshole. I just need an opening and then bang! Down goes the beast and then we'll laugh all the way to the bank baby." He laughed.
Charlie had heard enough, while she knew their plan will fail it also means Godzilla would attack and potentially kill them and she didn't want that to happen. Unlike the angels, she deeply cares for all Demons in Hell and wish no harm on them. She figured if she found him first than perhaps she could either convince or lead him away from owning their asses. She slowly and quietly as possible moved away from the pile so she could continue her search when she suddenly pumped into something.
Charlie first thought she hit another pile when she notices something off about it. It didn't feel like metal but more like…scales. Her face dropped into a 'oh shit' look hoping what she was now leaning on, wasn't what she thought it was. Without looking she started to feel what she was leaning on and confirmed to herself it was not metal but scales. Slowly she ran her hand further up the mass getting a picture formed in her mind of what it was. She moved over what she believed was a chest, then up a neck, over a scaly cheek, found some very pointy teeth, across an angular face, and finally stopped over what felt like a snout. Checking it out she squeezed it a few times.
Honk! Honk! Honk!
Yep…that was a snout…oh she is so dead, fare the well Princess, we hardly knew thy.
She dropped her arm back to her side still afraid to look, her mind was going a mile a minute thinking this could be bad. She finally heard the soft breathing of the mass and felt her head move forward and back slowly indicating she was on a living, breathing mass. She gulped finally getting the point that this was not an inanimate object she hoped. She slowly looked up and saw the face of Godzilla looking down at her with his trademark frown and his golden eyes looking deep in hers with a raised brow.
Charlie was leaning on Godzilla with her head on his chest…well this was rather awkward.
Charlie herself couldn't even form a proper thought at the situation she was in now. She found the King but didn't expect to find him this way. The two stayed that way neither knowing what to do next, shocked from Charlie and confusement with Godzilla. The silence seemed to grow making the air more awkward, something needed to happen before it overflow into something neither wanted.
"Hey I got a question, how heavy is this thing? Cause it won't matter if we take the sucker down if we can't even move its scaly ass." A voice broke the awkward silence.
"Eep!" Charlie let out a quick gasped jumping away from Godzilla but quickly held her hand over her mouth realizing it was louder than she wanted it to be.
The noise got the five Demon's attention making them all tense up a bit.
"Hold it, you all heard that right?" The succubus asked the others.
"Yeah, I think it came over there." The cat one said pointed to the wrecked pile.
The same one both Godzilla and Charlie were behind.
Both turned to the voices on the other side of the pile hearing they were getting close. Godzilla growled softly knowing this would be a pain. He looked at Charlie without moving his head and stared at her with a slight twitch in his eye.
"Sorry." She said her voiced muffled by her hands.
Godzilla just grunted at her before thinking on how he should handle this mess. Thanks to Moe who was able to connect to many radios and T.V. air waves along with other types of mass communication he knows that basically every Demon was looking for him, he even knows about the bounty on his head. Moe had to explained that quickly but Godzilla understood it just as fast. He was thinking maybe he should just kill them would be the best option but before he could ponder on that any further Charlie spoke up.
"Please don't kill them." Charlie said in a soft voice.
Godzilla snapped his gaze at her looking at her with a confused glare.
"I know they're here to harm you…but please don't kill them. They don't know what they're getting themselves into. They have no idea how powerful you are or how easily you can kill them…I know I have no right to ask you anything but please…just spare them." Charlie begged for their lives looking at him with a sorrow expression.
Godzilla was rather surprised to hear this from hear. He heard other beings for him to spare their lives but this is a first when someone else asks to spare another life. He was actually shocked to hear this, so foreign to hear that and especially in such a sincere voice. He looked at her for a few moments trying to see any deceit in them but yet again was shocked to find none. She was actually telling the truth, even his instincts were saying this. Godzilla stood there thinking about it, he had no reason to listen to her nor does he owe her anything so why should he do anything she asks of him?
But then he remembered his thought that has bugged him since he first met her and the other one. It was annoying him so much that he was destroying every little thing cause no one could answer his question, not even Moe. Perhaps she could and if it means sparing these insects to have that slight bargaining chip than he can live with that. And if he was being honest, he had no true reason to kill them anyways. But how is he going to do this without ripping them apart? Then he had a thought, he remembered something Jet Jaguar did to win a battle with multiple foes and did it without killing them. He wasn't sure he could pull it off but he's willing to try.
Godzilla moved close to the pile till he was a foot away and stopped closing his eyes. Charlie was wondering what he was doing. Godzilla was listening to the five Demons waiting for them getting closer, he was waiting for them to just be a breath away. Slowly he heard their movement getting closer edging ever so to the pile. Once he believed they were close, Godzilla snapped his eyes opened and launched through the pile roaring at them. Scaring them shitless Godzilla attack them one by one striking them in the head hard enough to knock them out. They couldn't react fast enough nor tell what was happening and before they could they all now were on the ground knocked out cold.
Charlie was rather amazed Godzilla could move that fast, he looked like moving that fast would be impossible but he could in certain situations she guessed. Charlie was hoping he didn't strike them too hard. Once it was over, she cautiously moved to the closest body and check if she was dead. She was relieved to see she was just knocked out; she checked the rest and they were all knocked out, this made her happy.
"Thank goodness no one died…thank you." She said to Godzilla.
Godzilla himself was surprised that actually worked, he figured he would at least kill one of them. Guessed he lucked out on this one. Now that those intruders have been dealt with, he turned to his last unwelcome guest. Godzilla knew she was here the moment she walked into the district; the aura was still just as powerful as before so she was easy to sense. And while he has no personal grudge against her, he still didn't like she was looking for him meaning she wants something from him and that has led to many headaches in the past. So, he's going to get straight to the point and not waste time. Walking over to her he got up close and before she could even do anything, he quickly grabbed her by the back of the jacket and lift her up so they were face to face.
"Whoa wait hold on, what are you doing!?" Charlie was getting scared at what he was going to do.
Godzilla saw this but he didn't care as he won't hurt her. He then started to walk away from the knockout Demons, Charlie swinging in the air with her legs close to her chest and her arms stiffen on her side as she pressed her lips tight with a mile-long stare scared out of her little wits what was going on. She saw Godzilla was heading to a structure that looked like the last top floor of the building fell off but dare not to make a sudden move hoping he wasn't going to kill her. Godzilla walked to the other side of the building and carefully place Charlie on the ground before stepping back a few feet looking at her and waited.
Charlie didn't know what was going on and all she could do was looked around rapidly trying to figure out what she should do. After a few moments she thought that maybe he wanted to hear why she was here so she stood up brushing off the dust off her pants, cleared her throat and stood in front of Godzilla with a weary smile.
"Hey there…um...I'm not sure if you remember me but my name is Charlie and…I'm guessing you want to know why I'm here?" Charlie said in a rather small voice.
Godzilla gave a short nod and grunt.
"Oh, good that's-wait you can understand me? I-I-I-I mean of course you understand me cause I had a feeling you were more than a dumb animal-NOT that I thought you were at any given-" But Godzilla slammed his tail on the ground to make her stop her rambling giving her the 'will you hurry up' look.
"Ok sorry I'm just…nervous is all. You kinda left an impression that if I say one wrong word…you'll most likely rip my head off. So, when I get nervous, I just ramble a little." Charlie said looking away feeling a little embarrassed while rubbing her arm a little
Godzilla had a feeling he terrifies her some, not that he feels bad, but seeing that this could take longer because of that he decided he would try not look like he will kill on the spot. Really hard to do but he'll try. Godzilla let out low roar indicating he understands and wants her to continue. But Charlie didn't really understand that.
"I…don't really know what that means…can you talk like me?" She asked.
He shook his head saying no, he never has that ability nor does he know if he ever will.
"Then…this might be harder than I first thought since it's obvious you can understand me but since I can't…this could take a bit." Charlie frowned a little at how hard this is turning out.
Godzilla huffed out as he also saw this could be a pain as well. Thinking of how to do this he keeps coming back to one idea he knows will work but doesn't want to. Not because it's hard but once he does it will most likely be taken advantage of. But looking at her Godzilla felt she won't abuse it nor use it to her advantage. He felt she wasn't a low-down shithead like some in Hell so with a sigh he decided.
"I might not be able to vocally speak like you do but we can indeed communicate."
"Holy Shit what was that?!" Charlie jumped out of her skin when she heard that.
Well heard wasn't the right word, it was more like a series of words enter her mind and formed into a sentence her mind could read thus understanding the words and she could feel the emotions to them to make them feel alive. But more to the point what the fuck was that just now?
"That was me." Godzilla once again spoke.
(AN: Ok I know I just stated he didn't speak but I'm going to just use that cause calling it what it really is all the time will take too long and I have other stuff to do.)
Charlie looked at Godzilla looking very shocked by this.
"That…was you? What was that?"
"It's a type of telepathy I can use when I wish to talk to others though I rarely do." He explained.
"…You could do this…then if you don't mind saying…why didn't you use it before? Like when we first met or earlier?"
"I just told you I rarely use this ability but the other reason is I had no need to talk to you nor did you actually give me a reason till now."
"…oh."
"But the biggest reason you can say is that others have abused this in the past so I made the decision to only use it when absolutely necessary. Meaning I don't want to hear you constantly yapping in my mind unless you have to."
"Jeez you don't have to sound mean about it…and I won't abuse it." She said sincerely.
Though he felt it was true, Godzilla still has doubts about her.
"I barely know you youngling so it'll take more than words to convince me otherwise. Like I said I'm only allowing this so we can hurry this and you can leave me alone. Now why have you sought me out?"
"A little rude there but oh well…ok this is it Charlie, this is where you must prove to him your hotel is what he needs to leave Hell and move on to Heaven, here goes nothing." Charlie physic herself up before giving her most important pitch yet.
"What do you mean leave Hell, what nonsense are you going on about?" Godzilla suddenly spoke in her mind giving her another scare as she wasn't use to that at all.
"GAH! Dammit why does everything today keep-wait…did…did you say 'leave Hell'?" Charlie asked.
"Didn't I just ask that? Now what you are talking about?"
"…testing, testing, can you read me." Charlie spoke in her own mind
"Are you just toying with me now Demon? Cause if you are." Godzilla left the unfinish threat to hang in the air.
And just to emphasize the point even harder, he gripped the side of the building on the bottom and lifted the building part with ease holding it in the air for a moment before casually tossing it over his shoulders that landed a good while back. As it slammed the ground a small quake followed making Charlie lose her balance for but a moment before it stopped. She was now looking at him with a stun expression and was back to being a little freaked out. Now Godzilla wasn't going to do anything to her as long as she doesn't start something, that was more of a show what he could do if she decided to do anything against him.
"…Wow…I didn't know he was that strong…I think I peed a little."
"That and more now for the last time, tell me what you mean when you said 'leave hell' before a lose my patience." Godzilla again warned her.
"Did…can you read minds?"
"I can but only if I make a connection between our minds for that to work. In fact, without this connection being able to communicate like this wouldn't be possible. Now if you're asking if I can read your thoughts all the time than no, once I connect my mind with yours any and all thoughts our open on both ends but once I close it I can't. Leaving it open for any unnecessary reasons will expose mine or your mind for something like an attack or invasion to happen easily. After this conversation is done, I'll tear down the connection and that will end the matter." Godzilla explained to her.
"Isn't that taxing to have to make one every time you want to talk to someone?"
"Not really, its rather easy for me to do that and it is safer to do that way than always having it open."
"Oh, ok good to know…but to answer your question I can help you leave Hell and move on to 'greener pastor' as it were and at my hotel, I can make that possible." She said in a proud voice.
Godzilla himself was actually surprised by this, as of late he still hasn't found a way to leave Hell without completely destroying it in the process. But now it seems he has found one through her but he was skeptical about it. Gazing a little further up he looked at Moe, who was cloaked the whole time, and wonders what he thinks. Moe saw this and using his Holo-Screen it replied "I know this sound fishy but perhaps we should at the very least hear this out. From what I've been able to gather so far is since she is the Princess here, yes, they have royalty here it seems, then she could indeed have knowledge regarding Hell itself. And if it turns out to be untrue than I can make cross refence to find an actual answer. But it's up to you." Giving him pause to ponder.
Godzilla looked back at Charlie who was waiting for his reply looking rather worried. But he felt this wasn't because she was hiding something but more likely she is worried he'll say no. What an odd one. Deciding to give it a shot he answered.
"I highly doubt you could help me leave this place…but if you are indeed serious about it than I will at least hear you out." Godzilla agreed.
It took a moment to register what he said but Charlie then broke out in a big smile her eyes sparkle with joy and suddenly jumped at Godzilla giving him a hug catching him off guard a little.
"What are you-" But he didn't get far as Charlie interrupted him.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no idea how much this means to me. I was so worried you turn down my idea of redemption but you didn't! I can't thank you enough and I promise I'll give it my all to help you, oh thank you mister Angel Slayer!" Charlie beamed with such joy as she gave him a bigger hug.
Moe found it rather sweet seeing this, he had doubts about her attention but little by little it was seeing that maybe she wasn't like the other Demons here. Godzilla while was having a hard time figuring out what the fuck is she doing?
"What are you even blathering about and will you stop doing…whatever this is your doing?" Godzilla said the words feeling irritated in her mind.
"Huh, what do you mean? I'm just hugging you; does it bother you?" She asks.
"And what is a hug?"
"…Say what now? Your joking, right?" She raised her brow not believing she heard that.
"How does me not knowing what a 'hug' is funny to you?"
Charlie stood there completely taken aback at this, does he really not know what a hug is? That had to be a joke but she figured she'll humor him for now.
"A hug is an action to show someone how you feel, like how I'm showing you my feelings of gratitude for you." She explained.
"Huh, sounds rather unnecessary to me…can you let go now, I don't think I'm really a 'hugging' type of Kaiju."
"Oh sure, sorry about that, sometimes I get carried away and tend to do stuff like that…by the way what's a Kaiju?" She asked letting him go from the hug.
"That's what I'm called, among other names such as monster, freak of nature, demon, evil, killer, abomination and so on."
"Why would others call you all those hurtful names?" She found it slightly unnerving that he's been label like that.
"In a way they are right, I am in some aspect each of those. You saw how I fight; you know it's truer than most." Godzilla pointed out.
Charlie knew she couldn't rebuttal that but at the same time she didn't want him to feel like he's nothing more than those titles.
"Maybe we can change people's mind about that and let them see a kinder side of you." She said with grin and a wink.
"I doubt that'll happen and I don't have a kind side."
"Oh, I wouldn't say that." She said in a singing tune.
"Believe what you will I don't care. Can we move on and get back to what you were saying about leaving this insufferable place?"
"Guess we got a little sidetrack huh? Ok we can discuss further about this back at the hotel."
"Why, let's just do this here and be done with it."
"I know you don't have much patients but a lot of things I'll be explaining might be hard for you to grasp at this moment so it'll help you more if we just go there and I'll show you. Sounds fair?"
Charlie didn't like to half-lie to him but it would be easier for her since it seems he has a hard time understanding things and if she could show him than it could make him believe her more. Godzilla for his part knew she wasn't telling the complete truth but again felt no malic in her word so he'll play along.
"If it means a quicker exit to this place than I'll endure it."
"Great follow me, oh, before I forget." Charlie pulled out her phone and called her minions.
"Hey guys it's me, I was able to convince him…I know I'm just as surprise! So, did you get Mister Wide Load…why did you say it like that…why do I hear screams? Guys, are you in trouble…it doesn't sound like nothing…seriously are you in danger…please tell the truth…ok…yes ok but I better hear the full story when we get back…I'll send you the address I want meet up, try to get there ASAP but please be careful…I'll see you guys soon." And with that she hangs up and turned to Godzilla.
"Heh…I guess you want to hear what that's about huh?" She asked with a nervous smile.
"As long as this doesn't hinder us any further than I honestly could care less." Godzilla said simply.
Charlie nodded and starting walking out of Wasteland with Godzilla in tow. Godzilla looked next to him and saw Moe was following which was good, he wouldn't admit it out loud but the little bucket of bolts has grown on him a bit. He has helped Godzilla which he was indeed grateful and feels he'll need all the help he can get for this.
WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS
We see Godzilla and Charlie within one of the alleyways staying out of sight waiting for Razzle and Dazzle to pick them up. Moe was hovering near Godzilla still cloaked figuring he'll reveal himself to Charlie at a more appropriate time. Godzilla however was annoyed by just standing around like this.
"Why are we standing around? Shouldn't we be heading to your hotel and not waste time?"
"We will but first we need to wait for my friends to pick us up." Charlie explained looking at her phone for the time.
"Why?"
"You probably already know this but every Demon is on the lookout for you so I figured the best way to get the hotel is we drive over. It'll conceal you from sight and will be quicker than ducking through alleys like we did when we entered Pentagram City a little bit ago."
"If your talking about using those metal boxes on wheels than I rather walk. I refuse to be stuff in there like the rest of you." He growled his feelings about that though he did find it was sound reason he still didn't like the idea.
Charlie let out an irritated sigh, she was getting rather annoyed with his stubborn attitude. She just couldn't understand why he was acting this way, as if everything that makes a modern society like this one possible, he never experiences and thus doesn't want to try. Things that should be common knowledge seemed to fly over his head. Perhaps once back at the hotel she can learn more about him and understand why.
"Look just please go along with this. It'll be better, quicker, and safer if no one saw you walking down the streets. You might be able to brush off a lot of people and just walk along but I'm worried that if just one person hits that last nerve of yours, you'll destroy and kill everything in sight. I know I have yet to earn your trust but that also means you haven't earned mine and since I can't trust you to not flip out, I'm going have to insist you do this. So, stop your bitching and do this!" Charlie shot back looking serious as can be putting some of her demonic power in play.
But on the inside, she was screaming and crying at herself for doing that afraid Godzilla will turn her into ground beef.
Godzilla however was actually impressed by her sudden change in demeaner and standing up to him. He gained a little respect for that and in all honesty, he could understand her attitude to him. It seemed to him she wants only the betterment of her people and in some way him too, which he finds odd, and he was mostly giving her grief. Though he knows his reasons are sound he feels that, for the time being, will let her lead.
"I have to say youngling, you have some guts. Knowing what you know about me yet still be able to stand up to me is rather impressive. Perhaps I've misjudged you a little, your conviction is much stronger than I first thought…very well. I will follow your orders for now and, as you put it, I'll 'stop my bitching'…whatever that means." The words enter her mind and she felt they were much calmer than his previous ones.
"Thank you, Angel Slayer, and please call me Charlie." She smiled at him.
"Very well…Charlie." He nodded.
She returned the nod and turn her back to him so he wouldn't see her having a little panic.
"SON OF A BITCH! I thought I was going to kick the bucket there! I was so scared a I swore I would of crap my pants if that went south. Thank God he isn't a trigger-happy lunatic or else…SHIT! I FORGOT HE CAN HEAR MY THOUGHTS!"
Charlie slowly turned a little with a 'I'm screwed' face and looked at Godzilla waiting for him to lash out. But much to her relieve he didn't seem to catch that this time making her let out a trembling sigh once again thinking she escaped death's clutched. She leaned on the wall to try to calm her shot nerves a little. As for Godzilla, he did hear her thoughts but decided to pretend to not hear them giving the poor girl this one for free. For now, he closed the connection and waited with her. Soon her phone went off and she answered.
"Hey…oh good you're nearby…ok cool I'll come out so you can stop next to us…see you in a bit." Charlie hanged up and turned to Godzilla.
"Ok, wait here a moment. I'll make sure the coast is clear than I'll signal you, sounds good?" Godzilla nodded.
Charlie went to the edge of the alley and peered out to the streets. She saw only a small few Demons walking about so she had to be cautious. Soon see saw a black charter coach bus that had the same cosmetic design as her limo with the initial M.W.L. on the side. This was the Mister Wide Load, a 'limo coach' designed to accommodate larger guest than standard limos along with other luxuries this had others didn't. But Charlie didn't want this vehicle for that as this one was also made to handle a larger weight capacity than others which she figures will be useful. She came from the alley and waved it to get the drivers attention.
The bus turned close to the sidewalk and stopped. The doors open to reveal the two goat demons, Dazzle on the steering wheel and Razzle on the floor controlling the pedals.
"Great works guys, from our last talk it seemed to be a little more trouble to get huh?" She asked.
"A little bit…and we possibly might be on the hit list of a radical new group now." Dazzle said sheepishly.
"…Come again?"
"We'll explain later…so is the dinosaur ready to go?" Razzle asked.
"Give me a sec."
Charlie poked her head out the door and saw there was still a good amount of Demons walking around which will make it tough for Godzilla to enter without being seen. She cursed at this seeing she needs to work around this. Looking around, she spotted a large tarp by the alleyway getting an idea. It's cartoonish, simple, stupid as hell, and will most likely fail…but fuck it. She quickly grabbed the tarp and went up to Godzilla.
"Ok, the bus is here but it looks like we'll need to be extra crafty since there's a good amount of people out now so you'll need to use this to hide so you can enter the bus without much hassle." She explained holding the tarp to him.
Godzilla just gave her a glare obviously not ok with that idea.
"I know, I know you don't like it but it'll only be for a short time, I promise." She said giving him a reinsuring smile.
Godzilla just stare at her for a bit but he relented knowing she was only doing this for his well-being, which again he has no idea why she cares but he decided not to think about it too much. He took the tarp and with her help getting it on him that did cover him mostly but it would be enough. Charlie walked back to the entrance making sure Godzilla was close, it was imperative to be as speedy as possible and move at the right moment. Charlie peeked out the alleyway and watched on the number of people in the area. Easier said than done as it was hard to keep track of the numbers while trying to stay hidden, a few that pass the alley stopped and looked at the two as though they were crazy.
"…dumbasses." One said and moved on making sure they heard that.
Charlie frowned a little at that but was also glad they just moved on and seemed to overlook the tarp Godzilla. A few moments later the crowed lighten a bit and figuring this was their best shot. Charlie motion to Godzilla to move and the two quickly head to the bus and entered in with little trouble with Moe following close. Once safely inside, Charlie gave her minions the go and they started the road home.
"Jeez that was a little tense but I can't believe we pulled that off. Here let me." Charlie helped Godzilla remove the tarp and she set it aside for now.
Godzilla looked around the vehicle and was rather surprised how spaces it was. He didn't feel enclosed as he thought he would be. Seeing this, Charlie smiled a little knowing she made the right call.
"I figured given your large size that this bus would be a bit more comfortable for you and gives you plenty to move or at least to the point you don't feel like you're in a sardine can." Charlie told Godzilla.
Though she did see he had to crouch down a bit to fit.
"Take a seat, it'll take a bit before we get to the hotel so just relax and enjoy the ride."
Godzilla looked around the bus not really seeing a place to sit so he turned back to her just staring at her. She didn't understand why he was staring at her but notice his tail swinging a little which made her think he couldn't find a seat since his tail might be in the way.
"Oh right, I guess your tail makes it hard for you to use some of the seats…ok maybe you can like sit sideways on the long couch. It'll be slightly awkward but you should be comfortable enough for the ride." Charlie offered her idea.
Godzilla thought about it for a moment and decided to give it a whirl. Sitting like she suggested, he leaned his weight on the sofa as it creaked when he did that. After a few moments he found a position that he could live with but he looked awkward making Razzle and Dazzle snickered a little seeing the display. Godzilla gave them a stare giving off a low growl making them stiffen in fear a little. Charlie quickly intervenes to defuse a possible situation.
"Now don't get upset, they can't help it if you look funny sitting like that but you guys should be paying attention to the road. Now how about we all calm down and just…enjoy the view."
Godzilla snorted and looked out the window which told Charlie he wanted some piece so she decided to let him have that. After a while though the silence was getting a little much for Charlie and decided to strike a conversation.
"So…how has your stay in Hell been? I know you had rather rough day that one time but I bet the other days were good." But all she got from him was a quick look and returned his attention to the moving scenery.
"Not much of a talker I guess, maybe a little motivation will bring him out of his quite shell."
"You Know Angel Slayer, for me to help you get out of Hell faster it helps me to know you better which means talking to one another. So, what do say, what's on your mind?" But again, Godzilla remain silent.
"…Tough nut, aren't you?"
All she got was more silence from him which made her sigh feeling a little defeated but she gave it one last go.
"I guess you don't trust others easily huh? Do you feel like you can't relay on anyone and thus you refuse to talk, like when you told me why you didn't before? Is it also they reason you prefer to be alone as well considering you stayed in Wasteland instead of staying in the city? Why? Why do you feel as though you need cut yourself off from everyone, don't you get lonely? Would it really be that bad letting someone in? I know your dangerous but I also see you do have a good side and I wish to know more about you and get to know the real you, I truly do." Charlie asked sounding concern.
Godzilla looked at her without turning his head and though you couldn't tell he was rather confused by all of this. Why was this girl fighting so hard about this? She just said she knows he is a dangerous creature yet wants to know more about him? This chick can't be normal, no way in hell this demon could be like…this! It was making him question her motivation on it but again his instincts told him she had no ill will for him. He was getting annoyed and tired of her question as well so he turned his head to her and decided to talk.
"If it means you stop asking me these annoying questions than I'll tell you. I rarely feel the need be around or talk to anyone, I find it unnecessary and it never interest me. As of matter of fact, it has been sometime since I last…talked or been near anyone so I'm not well verse in it like you."
Godzilla looked over to Moe for a moment when he used the word 'talk' knowing it wasn't true but he didn't feel to the need to say and Moe saw this and understood.
"That's alright, I would be rusty too if I didn't talk to anyone in…how long has it been?" She asks.
"I don't perceive time like you so I can't give you an actual number but I can say it has been many years."
"Years?! But that can't be good for your mental health. Everyone needs someone in their life or they…just go completely insane from loneliness. You can't be ok with being alone all the time, is it cause people think you're a monster that made you think you need to be alone? If that's the case than don't listen to them, you're not a monster and you shouldn't be treated as one." Charlie said getting rather heated at what she has heard.
"And that's where you're wrong youngling, I am a monster. I am that which others fear and despise, scorn for ever existing yet does. I feel no remorse for those I kill nor do I care if I'm hated for my actions. And because of what I am and my very nature I am seek out by other species so they can end me. And I reply in kind. I find no pleasure or guilt for my actions; I do what I do to survive. And part of that is to find a place I can be left alone. Where you might need and want companionship, someone to talk to, I don't want or need it and have lived this way for most of my life. Such things hold no interest to me within my life. You may call it a terrible life but for me, it is my life. I accepted this long ago, it has never stop me from moving on nor will it ever will. I made my life around it and I have survived. Now you know a little more about me so you can stop pestering me about this, do what you will with it and let it go." The words felt calm and clear as if unobstructed from any negative feelings one would thought would be from such a tale.
Charlie herself doesn't know how to react or even respond to that, on one hand she felt sick at heart to hear that Godzilla seemed to had a life that consist of only hardship and unfair trials to just see the next day. Yet on the other hand he isn't affected by it like others might, as he put it, he understood that's his life and instead of letting it dictate how he should live but just make the best out of it. She actually admires that, just cause he led a cycle of death, destruction, hatred, fear, loathing, and isolation he himself just moves on. But it still brought a small tear knowing that in all likelihood he never experiences things such as joy, happiness, fun, excitement, and even love.
What a horrid life he must had and yet he's ok with it.
"I…I don't really know how to respond to that…but the fact you are ok with that life makes my heart feel sorrow for you." Charlie whispered but Godzilla heard it.
"I don't expect you to understand nor will I ask you. You and I are vastly different in every aspect from how we see the world to how we are brought up in it. And it's because of this difference you and I have a hard time understanding so many things about each other. But know this Charlie, I don't need your pity or sorrow, it won't help and will only be wasted. Dwelling on it won't do you any favors either, just take it as is and move on. Otherwise you'll go mad tearing your own world down in the process."
Charlie was actually stun Godzilla got all wise sage like that but she knew Godzilla had a point.
"Very well but that doesn't mean I won't help you see there is a whole new world that I know you'll like, count on it Angel Slayer." She wiped her eyes a little before giving him a grin.
"I doubt that…and why do you keep calling me that?"
"That's what others have been calling you since you did kill angels." She answered.
"…I guess I'll just throw that title in the pile with the rest then."
"Do what now?
"Over the years I've collected different titles and names, mostly from humans, and I normally just ignore those seeing they mean nothing to me." He explained.
"That's actually sounds cool. Oh crap, in all the excitement I never ask for your name, that was rude of me. Can you tell me what it is?"
"You do realize I never was given a name when I was born right?"
"Why?"
"Kaiju's are basically animals and like most animals don't give names to their young. So really I never had a true name."
But as he said that he saw see looked like she was going to spout some more sappy crap so Godzilla quickly responded.
"…But if you wish to call me something than you can call me Godzilla as it's the name I've been called the most than any other and I have just naturally answer to that."
Charlie looked at him before she let out a stiffen giggle making Godzilla raised his eyebrow at that reaction.
"Sorry but…really? I mean you're powerful and all but isn't it a little bit egotistical to put 'god' in your name?"
"As I said it was the humans who call me that, I've been called many things but that name just stuck with me. If your going to have a problem with than don't use it."
"Actually, I kinda like it. It somehow suits you…Godzilla. Yeah defiantly has a ring to it. It's nice to meet you Godzilla and I wish to formally welcome you to Hell."
Godzilla just blinked not really expecting that but gave a grunt in reply.
"I think we made some good progress today. Looks like were almost there so let's just enjoy the rest of the ride."
Godzilla nodded in agreement having had enough of that. The two fell into a comfortable silence and stayed that way for the rest of the trip.
AT THE HOTEL
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN LEFT HOURS AGO!" Vaggie screamed at Alastor obviously furious at what she's been told.
"You really should use your inside voice dear; you could damage your voice box doing that." Alastor said looking like he was liking her outburst.
"Don't change the subject asshole! Tell me where she went."
"Haven't the foggiest, all she said was she was going to attempt something and would return by at least sundown and tell us the riveting tale of her adventure." He explained.
"That's it? You mean to tell me she suddenly just walked out telling some vague crap, didn't say anything to anyone else, and only you saw this? How retarded do you think I am?" Vaggie shot back.
"Don't answer that, it's a trick question." Snickered a male sitting at the bar.
"Don't start Angel Dust! I'm not in the mood for your usually crap!" She answered to the male in a hostile tune.
Angel Dust is a slender demon with fluffy white hair and pink details on his fur, including a pink heart on the back of his head. He wears notable eye shadow and eyeliner and while both of his irises are pink, his left eye is completely black while the other is yellow with three pink dots under each eye. He also possesses a single golden fang among his sharp teeth. One of Angel's most noticeable features is his prominent chest, which he fucks with other people perspective on what gender he is for shits and giggles. The chest is composed entirely of fur, pushed up by the tightness of his jacket, and he frequently treats it as though it were a pair of breasts. Again, just to screw with people. Angel wears a white suit with pink stripes, a black and pink bow tie, a black choker, pink gloves, a black miniskirt and long black thigh high heel boots.
He is the first to try Charlie's redemption idea though that's not actually true for he needed a place to stay or should I say hide from something. What that is no one knows and he won't say much.
"A little pissy today, aren't we? What am I saying, you're always act like something crawled up your tight ass and died." He chuckled as he saw she gave him a hard stare but he didn't care.
"I'm warning you smut slut, don't push me!" She summoned her spear to emphasize her threat.
"Oh, for fuck sakes will you just stop, Alastor is telling the about the Princess acting all weird…weirder than normal and shot outta here." Said a male behind the bar.
He was a Demon that looked like a Sphynx with a casino playing-card theme about him. His fur is taupe-colored, overlaid with white fur on his face, torso, feet, and upper arm. He has long red eyebrows with dark red vertical stripes near the tips, a black heart above each eyebrow, and his eyes are brown with orange pupils. His tail is brown and long, ending with some large "plume-like" fur, which is red with black and white stripes. His wings are large in size and red, with black stripes and poker-base suits markings. The insides of his ears are white with dull pink stripes. He wears a black top hat with a red hatband, a golden hat decoration, being that of what looks like a button, a red bowtie, and a darker shade of taupe ankle braces.
This was Husker, he was one of the Demons employed by Alastor to help run the hotel acting as front desk clerk and bartender. Of course, he's was pissed about it but quickly stop bitching when he was given something to wet his whiskers.
(AN: And yes, I just wrote that and I have no shame!)
"See, even Husk agrees with me and you know how he hates to do that." Alastor pointed out.
"…Ok, what did Charlie actually say then Husk?" She turned to the cat.
"The hell I know, she wasn't given a straight answer at all. Probably cause she didn't want this dickweed fucking up whatever crazy idea she had going on."
"Maybe she just went out to get some fresh clean air." Suggested a female demon that was sitting on the bar table in-between Angel and Husker.
This was Niffty, a one-eyed cyclops-like Demon. Her eye was made up of a hot pink and orange sclera with a light-yellow iris. She has short yet fluffy pink hair with a yellow undertone. Her teeth are sharp and light yellow and she has pink dots at each end of her mouth. Her attire has this 50s theme going on as she wears a dark pink scarf, a white shirt with pink dots, which appear to have a slight dripping design, along with a pink skirt with a poodle design and yellow dots. She also has small limbs of dark pink coloration. She is also the smallest of the group only reaching around four feet.
She is another Demon that was brought aboard to be the maid of the hotel and is possible the biggest neat freak ever seen so far.
"Like I said, she was barely making any sense and it was as if she didn't want anyone to know, not that I actually give a shit. I'm just throwing in what I saw so you can lay off with the yelling, I got a hangover to deal with."
"Your ALWAYS hungover, you know what I'm just going to call her and get the answer from her." Vaggie got her phone out and was about to diel when the front doors opened suddenly.
Everyone turned to see Charlie walking in Smiling a little. Vaggie was relieved to see her girlfriend was back and looked like she was alright.
"Hey everyone, what's going on?" Charlie walked into the lobby looking at everyone.
"Ah perfect timing, our intrepid hero comes home from her adventures." Alastor said.
"Charlie, mind telling me what's going on? These guys say you were acting all cryptic and that didn't sound like you. I was worried, why didn't you say anything to me?" Vaggie went up to her with a slight worried look on her face.
"I'm really sorry about that, I didn't mean to leave you out of the loop. I guess I didn't think about it, it won't happen again, I promise." She gives Vaggie a quick kiss on the lips.
"Alright, how about you tell us what you've been up to, you even got Husker interested in this." Angel went up to the two with a grin pointed to Husker.
"I didn't say I was interested fucker." Husker retorted taking a swig of booze.
"And you seemed to beat your own deadline by hours. Now than, care to spine your tale about what happened?" Alastor said leaning his cane with a mic head to her but she gentle pushed it away.
"Before I do I just want to say I'm sorry for making you worried about me, I know my actions and what I said must of cause some confusement. I suppose I was so geared to do what I was going to plan I didn't think it through to properly say and tell you all. Sorry about that guys." She gave them an apologetic smile.
"Eh, no harm no foul. So now just tell us what the hell got you all excited and mysterious on us. I'm dying to know." Angel asked.
"Ok. While I was in my office, I had a 'brainstorm' on how to get much needed credibility for the Hotel. But because I didn't know how this would end, I hid my plans from you all, which I shouldn't. But to make a long story short, I got another guest who's willing to be reformed." Now this got everyone's attention.
"Ha, that's a good one sweetie! Like you actually found someone do this." Angel chuckled but saw Charlie had a smirk on her face.
"…wait, you actually found some dumb schmuck to do this? As in, this idiot heard your idea and said yes?" This actually shocked him.
"Charlie that's wonderful! I'm so happy you found someone to do this!" Vaggie gave her a big hug.
"Holy Molly that's great!" Niffty jumped around Charlie.
"…Not the big reveal I thought it would be still a surprise none the less. Congrats kid, here's mud in your eye!" Al patted her shoulder.
"…To be clear, he didn't actually agree…mainly since I didn't exactly say what we do. But he was willing to listen when I said I could help him leave Hell…so that's something." She said a little embarrassed by that.
"Oh, like that won't blow up in your face girl." Husker said off handily.
"So, you lied to this guy?" Niffty asked.
"No, I…there isn't a way to rephrase that without sounding worse huh?" She deflated a little.
"Nope!" Niffty said with a smile.
"Got to say Princess, I didn't think you would do something this sly to get people in here. Props to you." Angel smirked.
"Ok back off. The fact this dude is willing to even hear her out is still amazing. So, who is our new guest?" Vaggie asked.
"…And this brings us to the other reason why I didn't say anything." Charlie now looked a little worried.
"…Why did you say that?" She asked not liking where this could lead.
"It'll be easier to show you guys. I have him here right now but asked him to wait outside so I can give you guys a bit of a heads up…now try to not freak out." Charlie warned them as she headed to the door.
"…Babe, who did you say agreed to listen about your ideas?" Vaggie asked now worried what Charlie did.
"Ok you can come in now, thanks for waiting outside. Everyone I like you all to meet the newest resident of the Happy Hotel. Please welcome our guest and please don't run away, I give you the one called Angel Slayer!" Charlie opened the doors wide open revealing Godzilla in all his glory walked in.
Everything seemed to freeze at that moment. Everyone was so shocked to see Godzilla there that it was like their brains temporally shut down. It was so bad Husker let his booze slip from his paws, Niffty didn't immediately clean up the mess, Angel made no snarky comment, Vaggie didn't bring her weapon out, and Alastor-
"Now that's a great reveal! I know this place would bring such entertainment!" He grinned like a mad man.
…well at least someone is glad about this…that's good…maybe.
As for Godzilla, he could already see this was going to really annoying, really fast.
And done!
Wow, another long chapter. Guess I got carried away but it was fun and I believe it was worth it.
Looks like Charlie was successful and didn't die, that's always a plus! We got some development between Godzilla and Charlie which led to some interesting things huh? Now we'll see how the rest of the gang will handle having the King as a resident...yeah they're shitting bricks now.
Hope to see you all in the next chapter! OUT!
