Hello One and All in Interweb Land!
Godzilla and the rest of the HH Crew are exploring the hotel to see what secrets it holds…or the unbelievably bullshit that waits behind each door, whatever works. Still will be fun…maybe.
Let's dive in and see how this turns out?
THROUGH THE MANY DOORS WE GO MY KING-WAIT WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?
"Thanks for doing this Moe, this will really help me in the long run." Charlie smiled at the robot.
"Think nothing of it Princess, if you truly are set in your goal in helping him than I am more than happy to help the best I can." Moe said as he hovered over her computer.
It has been a few days since Godzilla moved in and it seems for now, he has…put up with a lot of things around the hotel to put it mildly. Angel Dust hasn't made any moves on him as far as the others can see nor has Alastor tried to get Godzilla to unleash his destructive powers on some poor Demon…for now. Godzilla still has trouble understanding their idioms and such but is quickly getting the gist at what they are trying to say to some of them or just flat out doesn't care enough to get. And getting up and down the stairs is continuing to give him grieve. Charlie has called in specialist to fix the elevator but they haven't showed up yet.
It's Hell people, is it really that surprising their dicking around?
In fact, much of the hotel needs some work done before they can get more Demons to try redemption, the elevator is just one of the many things that need to be done. Luckily Vaggie is on it with a list of everything they'll need to do to get this place in working order. For the time being, Charlie's focus on getting to know more about Godzilla so she can figure out a way that'll help him was her main goal today. And this is where Moe comes in, since he has a vast catalog of Godzilla, she knows he is the right robot to ask. Moe decided to copy all intel on the King and transfer it to her computer in her office where she can look it over at her leisure.
"I am almost done with the download; it should be only a few minutes left." He said as he continued the transfer.
Charlie watch amazed that she actually saw the data floating out of Moe's optic and enter her computer. It was almost unreal to think this was technology of his world looking more magic than tech. Soon the stream ended and her screen came back on.
"Done, sorry for the wait but I had to convert a lot of the data so your computer could accept it. It isn't as advance as me so it was a bit of a challenge." Moe said.
"No problem, so how does this work?"
"I made a simple interface that you can navigate through without my help. See that large green G icon, click it." Charlie moved her mouse over the icon and clicked it as a simple blue screen appeared with different icons in a circle on it.
"As you can see, I organized and simplified it that if you want to know something broad like his history you can click on this icon. But if you want to know something a little more specific than this search bar will help. Just type in what you are looking for and if the intel is there, you'll have it." He explained.
"So, if I want to have a generic idea of him the icons will show me but if I want something specific, I go to the search bar, right?" She asked and he nodded.
"Wow, this'll make it so easy to get to know him a little better. Thanks Moe!"
"Your welcome but I wish to warn you, you might come across something you might not like, so be wary." Moe warned.
"I understand but I think I'll be ok if I take it slow. OH I love this animation you've done here; it looks so cute and cartoony!" She giggled a little seeing a chibi Godzilla breathing his atomic breath when she went over to the power icon and clicked on it.
"I figured I give it a bit of a flare; glad you like it."
"I do…I'm actually surprise your doing this really. I would have figured you be more reserved about giving out any knowledge of him to me."
"And you would be right if this was any standard intel. Generally, I would assist if given any information would be detrimental to whatever the knowledge pertains to. From a common cell to the complexity of the universe itself, I run all variants to see if telling will be beneficial or damaging. That's not the case with Godzilla. It wouldn't matter if friend or foe knows everything about him as it wouldn't really change much. It was the same reasons why I did that little intel show and tell a while back." He explained.
"Then…does that mean I won't be able to help him at all?" She asked not liking what she was taking from this.
"It's hard to say, Godzilla doesn't let anything change him easily. Because of his origins and how he has led his life, it has given him a mental view that if he sees no reason, he won't do it. His very mind doesn't work like yours, whether you call it a steadfast will or stubborn attitude, it allows him to not be easily swayed by the current situation at large or small and those who wish him harm. Of course, on the other end of the spectrum it makes it hard for those who actually want to do good for him to make any headway, such as yourself." Moe went further into detail.
"Yeah I kinda saw that. He doesn't make things easy to even talk to him let alone this. I don't really like doing this behind his back but I can already see that if I want to help him, this is probably the way to do this." She sighed a little.
"Oh he already knows about this. When you asked me about getting more data on him, I checked with him first and he said he was ok with that."
"R…Really? Wow, maybe I am getting through to him a little bit if he trusts me enough for this." Charlie's eyes gleamed with hope and joy that you could of swear you saw stars in them.
"Ehhhh…he didn't really think that…it was more along the lines of 'Whether she knows more about me or not matters little, she wouldn't be stupid enough to use anything she learned against me and even if she is that stupid she'll end up like the rest, dead.' and left it at that." Moe said with an embarrassed icon on his optic when he said that.
"…Jeez he doesn't need to be so mean all the time." Charlie pouted while buffing her cheeks out looking cute as hell.
"Well being nice doesn't come naturally to him nor does he know what he does is mean. He's just being honest…a bit brutal sometimes but never about hurting feelings, again since he doesn't know how that works."
"I know, that's why I can't stay mad at him. He's like a kitten knocking over your glass, you get mad that it happens but you can't be angry with him." Charlie sighed a little.
"…Did you just compare him to a kitten?" Moe looked at her with a question icon in his optic.
"Well I always knew this wasn't going to be a walk in the park but it will be worth it. And as long as he is here, I will be able to help him not only find a way out of here but to let him experience what a life outside is own can be like. In this hotel of mine will it not only give him that but a safe place where nothing can bring him harm or trouble." Charlie smiled proudly at this knowing all will be well in her hotel.
BAM! BOOM! CRASH! CRUSH! SLAM!
The sound of shit getting smashed around was heard from atop of them though the noise itself seems to be coming from the upper floors, which means if it was even heard from Charlie's office then that means shit is getting fucked.
"…Once, just once I wish I can say things like that without it smacking back in my face like a hammer." Charlie said with a deadpan voice and look.
"From the sound acoustic, volume, and direction it looks like it came from the sixth floor." Moe said already giving her the answer before she asked.
"Let's hurry, the fact we can hear it from here can't be a good sign!" Charlie ran out of her office with Moe in tow.
The two sped up the stairs as fast as possible getting to the sixth floor and when the enter the hallway they skidded to a halt. For what was in front of them was…uh…well…
"GAH! GET THIS THING OFF MY BACK!" Husker screamed running around as what appears to be a creature that was latched on his back.
"I got my own problems too idiot!" Vaggie yelled back as she was trying to hit some of them away from her.
"Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope!" Niffty was running around trying to outrun 11 of them.
Godzilla was trying to kill the creatures but they avoided him as much as they can making him chase them down. He was able to smash the one off Husker but soon another one took its place. The creatures were around Moe's sizes with jet black carapace-like armor with bright pink glowing jagged lines running all over its body with four of them that look like eyes on the front. Its general body look was bean-like with seven scythe-like tendrils around the body, three on the bottom, three on the top, and one acting like a tail. It had no mouth or pupils; it was alien in design and these suckers can fly around pretty fast.
"What the hell are these things and where did they come from?!" Charlie was panicking seeing the chaos ensue.
"DON'T KNOW, DON'T CARE, I JUST WANT THESE FUCKING THINGS GONE!" Husker yelled throwing one of them off his back but started fleeing from three of them.
"Wait…those are…Void Dwellers? But how!?" Asked a bewildered Moe.
"And those are-OH CRAP!" Charlie was now running away from a few of them as they notice her.
"Everyone listens! You must not let the Void Dwellers latch onto you for too long, if you do you will die!" Moe warned them waving his arm in panic.
"WHAT?!" The others screamed both confused and shocked by that.
"We're already dead Moe, how can they kill us?" Niffty asked while jumping over a few Void Dwellers.
"You might be considered dead when you left your corporal bodies but the energies or Life Force as it is sometimes called is still with you. When you die both your soul and energy goes with you no matter what, so in those terms you are still living beings. The Void Dwellers however feed off the energies of living beings like all of you and when that happens, you'll be reduced to dried up husks and thus dead! You must kill them!"
"Oh really, I wouldn't have thought of that!" Vaggie snapped back now running from a large one.
"How!? These creepy things are just too fast for us that we can't even land a stink'n hit!" Charlie asked while shooting her Hellfire at one but it dodges it.
"Fuck! And those shell of theirs are tough even if we do hit them!" Vaggie recoiled from hitting one dead on.
"Unfortunately, because they hunt living energies as their main source of sustenance, the same energies can hurt them efficiently. So they have evolved the ability to sense any and all types of energies which includes a warning sensory for energy-base attacks like demonic ones. Physical attacks can work but because of their armor and speed it makes it difficult to do that." Moe explained.
"That doesn't help us you talking bucket of bolts! You're suppose to be the smart one so figure something out and WHY AREN'T THESE ASSHOLES CHASING THE DINOSAUR OR YOU!?" Husker asked while still running away from his small group.
"They are highly averse to radiation and he's practically a walking sun gone super nova. They can sense it in him and are afraid. And I'm a robot, I don't have any living energy." He told him.
"Of course they-SHIT!" Vaggie suddenly changed directions to prevent from slamming into a wall and barely missed it.
The creatures that were chasing her seemed to be unable to do the same thing and slammed hard into the wall. Godzilla saw this and remembered about the one he smacked off of Husker which gave him an idea.
"Everyone, run to me!" He spoke through his telepathy.
"What why?" Husker asked as he held one at arms-length from him.
"These creatures seemed to be so focused on all of you that everything else they take no heed. I can't catch them but I know I can kill them. Run to me and I can kill them." He explained.
"But won't they sense you since they are afraid of radiation?" Niffty asked.
"The one I hit off of the cat didn't even notice me, these things must be desperate to consume your energies that they are willing take a chance. We can use that against them."
"Even if that's true hit one of us and we'll be seriously hurt or worse!" Vaggie argue.
"Then you will die from having your energy taken from you once you can no longer run, your choice Demons."
Though harsh they knew he was right, they don't have a better plan nor could they think of one as the situations stands, so they begrudgingly agreed.
"I'll go first!" Charlie ran over to Godzilla with a set hot on her heels.
"You even graze her and I'll stick my spear up your ass!" Vaggie warned him.
As Charlie got close enough, she suddenly changed directions away from Godzilla and as he said the creatures didn't move away in time and met their end by his claws. He tears through their armor like paper as green blood sprayed all over and the bodies hitting the ground hard. The creatures lay dead behind Godzilla.
"Hey it worked! Me next!" Niffty ran over to Godzilla and the exact thing happened.
"Ok guys, let's end this!" Charlie said and they all agreed.
For the past ten minutes or so the HH Crew ran at Godzilla for him to kill the creatures and a new set would chase them as it seems they aren't intelligent enough to see the plan or possibly as Godzilla suggested they were far too desperate to change strategies. Soon the hallway was now littered with the bodies of the creatures, blood was all over the place even on the ceiling. Once the last creature was killed, the Demons all fell down on the ground breathing heavily with sweat covering them head to toe not caring if the blood gets on them. They were exhausted from all the running, even Niffty was taking the floor like it was a bed, only Godzilla was still standing.
"That…fucking…sucked!" Husker huffed hard sprawled out on the floor.
"I never want to do that again!" Niffty whined.
"I'll be feeling this in the morning that's for sure." Vaggie wipe some of the sweat from her forehead.
"Do any of you need immediate medial attention?" Moe asked worried.
"Maybe…some cold drinks…and a bed…yeah…that sounds good." Charlie groaned from exhaustion.
"Perhaps we should move you all away from the Void Dweller's corpses since they might be carrying an unknown disease with them that could harm you."
"As much as I appreciate your concern, we can't just leave the bodies here. If the corpses are harmful in any way, we need to remove them now plus the blood." Charlie pointed out.
"Make Alastor clean this up. He can just snap it away to fuck knows where and that'll be it." Husker suggested.
"But he left this morning and said he wouldn't be back till around dinner time which is still hours away." Niffty pointed out Husker's flawed idea.
"…Oh yeah…well I don't have any ideas."
"I believe I can answer at least the body problem." Godzilla voluntaries and started collecting the bodies.
"Huh, that's kinda cool of you…wait how are you going to-" But before Vaggie could go any further Godzilla rips the main window in the hallway off and throws one of the corpses out.
"Dude what the fuck seriously!?" Vaggie snapped at what he did.
"WHY?! There had to be a better way to get rid of them without the need to damage the hotel!" Charlie spoke in a mixture of gloom, sternness, and slight anger to him.
"You wanted the corpses out of your hotel and this is the fastest way."
"That's not the-AUGH! Your impossible sometimes!"
Godzilla just snorted and continued the task at hand.
"Ok that solves one problem but what about the blood?" Niffty asked.
"I've been analyzing the blood and as of now have found no trace of damaging effect both biology or construction wise with the possible exception of staining." Moe said putting Charlie's worries at ease.
"That's good though I'm still angry with you Godzilla, ask me before you do something like this again. I worked really hard to get this hotel and it hurts when someone does this without thinking."
"If it means you don't pester me when I do things like this than I suppose I could." He agreed throwing another three bodies out the building.
"…Thanks? While you do that maybe you guys can enlighten me on what happened?" She turned to Husker, Nifty, and Vaggie with a confused stare.
"It was supposed to be a simple job of checking the rooms floor by floor and seeing what needed to be done. Then it just…ended up like this. I honestly have no idea how it got to this point." Vaggie groaned a little.
"Just start from the top and maybe we can figure it out."
"Like I told you after breakfast I was going to get some of these guys to help me check the rooms while you were doing whatever with Moe so I went up to them and asked." Vaggie started.
EARLIER THAT DAY
"Fuck. No." Husker said plainly.
"What do you mean no, you're an employed here and since I'm the manager that makes me your boss and that means you do as your told. And anyways you haven't done jackshit so you might as well pull your weight around here." Vaggie argued holding a clipboard.
"Bullshit I'm one, that bastard dragged me here for his own sick pleasure and that means I'm not an employee, ergo, I don't need to do shit!" He replied.
"Really? If you want to play this game then we can, by what you're saying you work for Alastor then right?" Vaggie asked.
"More like I'm a slave." He muttered.
"Whatever, you're 'working' for him is what I'm saying. Now Alastor has employed himself as a member of the hotel to Charlie, who is his boss, which makes also mean I'm his boss. And since he works for us and you work for him, that's means YOU do work for the hotel. Ergo, you work for the hotel, which makes you an employee here and that means your hairy ass works for me." She explained with a sly smile and a snarky tone.
"…Still won't do it." Husker replied in defeat but still held his stubborn ground turning away.
Vaggie growled a little at this but she decided to play against his weakness for the drink.
"Ok then, if you won't do it because you work here, then how about a deal?"
"Fuck that! I learned my lesson from making deals and I'm still paying for the last one!" He snapped at her with his back still to her.
"I bet but at least hear what I have to say. The Advocate of D, ever heard of it?"
"Any man who enjoys the bottle that lives here has heard of it, so what?" He asked.
"What if I told you I can get a hold of it?" This made him turned to look at her with a confused glare.
CRASH!
(AN: What the hell!?)
"Hold up! You told him you could get what?!" Charlie broke through the flashback like any good forth wall breaker going back to the present looking at Vaggie displeased with what she heard.
"I put up the bargain of The advocate of D if Husker helped." She said looking a bit ashamed knowing why her girlfriend was upset.
"Vaggie, I wish you talked to me about this before you said that. Do you know how hard it'll be to get just one of those bottles?"
"Are you telling me she was bullshitting me and it can't be done!? Fucking dammit I knew it was too good to be true!" Husker grumbled.
"I mean it is possible but it'll take me a while to do it, it all depends how much she promised."
"A case." He said.
"…Yeah…that'll take me a good while…like maybe a few months at the earliest." She said counting using her fingers of how long a case will take to get.
"Of course it will…wait…does that mean you will get it." He asked hopefully.
"I mean…sure I suppose." She shrugged.
Husker looked at her wide-eyed before he went up to her and place both his paws on her shoulders.
"You are a fucking God Send Charlie! I'll be forever in your employ if you do this, this I swear to you." He said in a sincere voice looking at her like she was some miracle.
"Wow nice Husker…kinda wired actually." Niffty added.
"Uh…cool beans? So how about you finish your story?" She asked Vaggie after removing Husker's paws off her and gave him a pat on the arm.
"Oh sure, well after I said about the liquor Husker replied."
RESUMING FLASHBACK
"I would say your just blowing smoke up my ass. No one here has even seen a drop of that stuff let alone taste it so why even bring it up?"
"I'm not surprised given the only supposed know location of that stuff is deep within the palace of the Rulers of Hell themselves and no one outside the Royal Families even seen a glass of it they say…but I've seen it."
Husker's eyes widen as he slowly leans into the bar counter almost transfixed by that lone statement as it drags him further in.
"Y…Y…You've seen it?" He asked in a whisper.
"Gotcha!" Vaggie thought.
"More than that, I've drank that stuff. All the rumors you heard about it, the tall tales of how fucking awesome it is…it's a million times better." She smiled a little.
"…I've heard it's like being a God fucking a thousand bitches while owning all the assholes in your life and winning the biggest jackpot you've ever seen…all at once…and you tasted this nectar from the Gods?" His eyes seemed to glow like a child seeing Santa the first time.
"More like the 'Devil's Brew' but yeah I have. And the best past? You. Don't. Ever. Get. A. Hangover." She said slowly emphasizing each word.
"…How?" Was all he spoke.
"Have you forgotten who my girlfriend is, I can convince her to bring it here. I can get a bottle, no, a case of it here in a few short days but only if you help me, deal?"
CRASH!
(AN: Again? These things aren't cheap!)
"Which is bullshit now!" Husker butted in stopping the flashback.
"You're still going to get it so stop complaining and let me finish!" Vaggie snapped and the flashback continued.
RESUMING FLASHBACK
"…I'm in!" Husker slams his paws on the counter with excitement.
"Good, now meet me by the stairs with Niffty. She'll be helping too. I'm going to see if I can recruit the Irate Dinosaur."
"Ha, good luck with that." He snickered and left.
Vaggie groaned at that, knowing he was right. If getting Husker to do this was a chore than getting Godzilla on board will be a nightmare. She knows he will refuse outright if she didn't give him a reason he thinks makes sense and that's going to be a problem. You can't barter with him like Husker or use their passion like she did with Niffty. He'll make you fight every step of the way till you either give up or somehow get him to go along. That last bit is considered impossible by her view. Even Alastor has yet to strike a deal with him and he's considered a master weaver in that. And while she respects that about Godzilla it also means that he doesn't bend to anything or anyone!
She looked over to where Godzilla was, he was in the lobby like her and Husker but was on the far end of the room looking at one of walls that had the many pictures obviously ignoring the conversation due to the lack of giving a fuck. Vaggie walked up next to him and saw he was causally looking at each picture with no one grabbing his interest. Vaggie decided to strike up small talk and wing it and go from there.
"Any of these catching your eye?" She asked.
Godzilla looked at her without turning his head with a raised brow.
"That means is any of these that got your attention more than the other?" Godzilla shook his head no.
"Yeah I kinda figured, all these pictures belong to Charlie and she thought it would give this place some character even though none of them have anything to do with redemption but she insisted." She shrugged.
Godzilla turned his head to her and gave her a stare that basically said 'What do you want?' and a low growl.
"…Your right, screw this small talk cause it really doesn't work with you. I need your help." She said simply.
Godzilla turned his whole body to her which gave her the impression she has his attention.
"So far so good." She thought hoping this would work.
"As you know there is a load of rooms here, so many in fact that me and Charlie never got a complete count since we never explored the whole place even though we've been here for about a little over a month. So, I'm taken this time to check each room and see what condition they're in and what needs to be done. I got Husker and Niffty to help but I need one more pair of hands to really get this done, or in this case claws. And before you get snippy, which mean annoyed, all I'm asking you is to carry a large box of keys that are for each room cause their heavy as hell but given your strength it'll be nothing. So all you have to do is follow us to each floor and we do all the work. And that's all I'm asking from you." She explained.
But all she got from him was a stare and a growl indicating he either doesn't understand or he didn't care, kinda hard for her to tell. She groaned already seeing the major headache to come but decided to try something else.
"Let's try this, the fact you were looking at pictures you already seen means you must be bored. And I can't blame you, being stuck in here cause basically every asshole is hunting you down would get really dull really fast. So why not do this, it'll give you something to do and who knows, you might like it. Better than just standing around looking at pictures for hours bored to tears?"
Godzilla blinked a few times than narrowed his eyes which only aggravated her more that she wasn't even getting a single word, not even the no she was expecting. She was slowly losing her temper with this but she caught herself, Charlie had asked her to have a little more patient when it comes to this given Godzilla has a hard time understand a lot of things and some of the terms they use annoys him. She would give this one more try.
"Alright how about this, I notice you've only been in your room, the kitchen, the dining area, and the lobby here. Aren't you even a bit curious about this place? Why not take this opportunity and while helping us, you can see the rest of the hotel? You know, do a little exploration, your free to do that. And like I said, even I haven't seen the whole hotel so it'll be a sorta neat thing for me and you to see what this place has to offer."
But all she got was continued stare and a soft huff from the King, which has now really ticked her off.
"Ok seriously, are you just going to stand there and not say a fucking word till I leave or something? Are you that arrogant to think your too good to even say 'fuck off!' to us and just think that's ok? Well I got news for you, you ugly Iguana Boy, that shit don't fly with me! I don't care if you're some scary monster that has killed millions, you're a guest here and that means you can't be like you always have. I don't care if you get pissed off when we talk to you, ask you something, or even just be near you. So long as you stay here you better get use to it or you'll have to deal with worse than what you see now! So say something dammit!" Vaggie vented her anger at him yet nothing still.
"That's it asshole! If your going to continue this then-This is really starting to try my patience!" The words of Godzilla finally sprang forth.
"Oh, now look who's finally started talking and don't get pissy with me fucker! You started this!"
"Finally, you can hear me, that took too long and it was you who first talk to me Demon."
"Don't you dare put the…wait, what do you mean 'I can hear you?' what's that suppose to mean?" She asked though still pissed.
"Exactly as it sounds."
"Just. Tell. Me!" She said in a low angry tone.
"I was having a bit of trouble making a connection between our minds. There was some sort of barrier around your mind that wasn't there before and it was preventing me from 'talking' as it were." He explained.
"There is a barrier around my mind, how!?"
"You had one, as to how it got there, given it wasn't there before nor did you strike me as a psychic of any kind, I believe someone place it there without you knowing."
"Oh hell, who?"
"From the power that surrounded your mind that acted as the barrier I'm certain it was that Smiling Demon who placed it there, it had the same feel as his own. No doubt it was for his 'entertainment' he keeps yapping about."
"…I'm going to murder that shitty Radio DJ!" She grinded her teeth in anger thinking of all the painful ways she'll inflict on Alastor.
"Now that's over with, let's get this done."
"Huh, what are you talking about?"
"You ask me to help you with exploring the hotel or something right? I want to get this over with."
"You're…going to help me?" She asked rather stunned.
"Are you hard of hearing as well as in idiot?"
"Hey! Who are you calling an idiot!?"
"You, considering you haven't even check if something else claimed this as its territory thus you have possibly put yourself and all the others in danger." This got her attention.
"Why did you say that?"
"If what I've seen tells me anything, Demons here are dangerous and will take any opportunity to harm one another or take whatever they want. That includes this place and that could lead to possibly harm to you all. Normally I could sense it but since everywhere is dangerous and full of threats my instincts and senses have adapted to see it as normal and harmless, or at least to me. Which makes me blind till I can adapt it further to sense even the tiniest of threats, till then I see it necessary to help you check each room to see if there is any danger so I don't need to deal with further annoyances on your part." He explained.
Vaggie stood there taking in what he said and was both stunned and slightly embarrassed by the whole thing. She kinda felt like a jerk for going off on Godzilla like that, thinking he was being an asshole but it wasn't his fault he couldn't talk at the time nor was he able to really communicate any other way she would understand without looking more like a jerk. She was also stun that he actually agrees to help her right out the gate…somewhat. His reason was a bit harsh but right now she'll take it.
"Ok well thanks for lending a hand…and…sorry for yelling at you." She apologies while having a little pink on her cheeks.
"You do realize I'm only doing this because of your lazy actions of not checking this place for danger could annoy me greatly and I don't want to deal with your problems." He commented.
"…Yeah…I figured that was the reason." She groaned a little.
"As for the other thing, I hold no grudge against you about it. You were unaware about the barrier nor would you be able to understand any other form of communication from me. I also notice you find my silence annoying to deal with which I understand. You hate me for that and I'm used to others hating me so you have no reason to apologies."
"I don't hate you. I mean yeah you can be a pain in the ass at times but that doesn't mean I hate you. And I do need to apologies, I had no reason to fly off the wall like that when you couldn't even defend yourself. The asshole did this but it was you that took the fall, that isn't right and I want to say sorry."
Godzilla blinked at that not really knowing how to respond. He was so used to being hated that it was just a normal thing for him. Yet when he came across this…yeah, he was lost as a child in an amusement park. What was he supposed to do with this? Say something positive, tell her to fuck off, or just say nothing and let this die…he like that last one. But he did feel the need to add one more thing to this before moving on.
"As I said, you have no need to apologies to me. I know you felt my silence was annoying and I have done it in the past so I saw it coming. And I honesty don't care if you never apologies to me, it matters little in the end. I will continue to move forward and so will you. To feel the need to stop life just to do those things I find a waste and unneeded."
"…Uhhhh…I'm…not sure how to reply to that…are you accepting my apology or asking me to fuck off?" She asked dumbfounded by that response.
"Neither…but to end this I say you are in no fault in this."
"Ok good enough for me. Let's get this started, the keys are by the desk." Vaggie with Godzilla in tow got the keys and started their chore with the others.
CRASH!
"BWAHAHAHA!" Husker burst out laughing at the whole explanation that he broke the flashback like Charlie did.
(AN: Oh motherfucker, not again! Do these idiots know that if they keeping going Deadpool in the story then the fourth walls will collapse on them? It's hard enough weaving a tale as is without the constant damage to it that I need to hold it together…fuckers.)
"What are you laughing at?" Vaggie asked the laughing Cat Demon.
"The fact he called you out on your lazy ass of not doing your job before and how that bastard made you look like a retarded angry woman is priceless!" He laughs some more.
"Oh go piss on some furniture!" Vaggie snapped back.
"Now no need to go at each other's throats. And Vaggie, I'm proud you were the bigger person and apologies to Godzilla. He's a bit of a headache at times but I'm glad you see past that and tried to be civil with him." Charlie gave her a kiss on the cheek making her blush.
"And thank you Godzilla for not losing your temper on her and agreeing to help." She turned to the Kaiju who was still throwing the bodies away.
"Don't."
"Huh?"
"You were going to go into that whole 'I have a good side' nonsense, you heard my reasons and it was not for good but to not have to deal with this!" He snarled a little harshly throwing one of the bodies out the window.
"You know as well as I you could've said no but you didn't and helped. That tells me you do have a good side somewhere in you, so Neh!" Charlie stick her tongue out to him.
"I can remove that tongue of yours." He warned but she just grinned at him knowing he really wouldn't.
…She hoped.
"So after that whole thing, what happened next?" Charlie asked her girlfriend.
"Once we all got together, I told them the plan. Husker would go to each door and find the key that goes with it, Godzilla will hold all the keys while this happens following him, once he found the key he would write it down and move to the next, Niffty with her speed would zip around the room and try to find anything the room needs and I would write it down." She explained.
"It was actually going pretty well; I mean the rooms were filthy but I would get to them later. I would like to know all dirty things at once and hit them all at once. Makes my life a little easier." Niffty added.
"Even I saw it was moving pretty good, defiantly the easiest way to get some expensive booze that's for sure." Husker said nodding.
"The first few floors were all a cake walk…than the sixth floor came…and it all went to hell." She groaned.
RESUMING FLASHBACK
(AN: I swear if they break this again, I'm going to write in a blackhole on their asses!)
Husker, Godzilla, Niffty, and Vaggie walked into the sixth-floor hallway ready to knock this one out like the rest.
"Alright, we're making good progress. I think after this floor we'll stop for lunch, sounds good?" Vaggie asked the others.
"Good, this might be easy but damn I didn't know there were this many rooms. Are you guys really want to fill every one?" Husker asks.
"Not at the beginning but slowly yeah." She responded.
"That'll be a pain, alright scaly, let's get this over with and get some grub." Husker said to Godzilla who snorted a little but followed.
The two went up to the first eight doors and it went smoothly like the rest. When the reached the ninth door Husker notice something wasn't right. When he got close to the door, he picked up the sound of what he thought was a hum of sorts.
"Hey, you hear that?" He asked Godzilla.
Godzilla looked at the Cat Demon not really knowing what he was talking about but his hearing picked up a distinct sound of something like a hum or buzz. Godzilla growled a little and nodded narrowing his eyes as his instincts were telling him to watch out.
"What the hell is that…sounds…familiar?" He stood still trying to recognize the sound.
"What's up Husk?" Niffty notice the two just standing by the door.
"I hear something. It kinda sounds like a buzz or something. Besides us, is there anyone else here in the hotel?" He turned to Vaggie.
"No there isn't…or at least there shouldn't be…oh shit." Her face falls a little thinking what Godzilla said might be coming true.
Husker mood matches hers feeling this could lead to something no one wants. He slowly reached out to the handle and gripped it tight. He paused for a moment taken a gulp before turning the nob and opened the door but found it was not budging. Adding more of his weight it finally opened sharply and what was behind the door was rather…not good. There in the room was a sight that would make even the bravest person wet themselves, there the scariest looking wasps you ever saw were moving about the room. The whole room was like the inside of a nest with what looks to be a tunnel carved out from the wall that they believe goes to the outside. The demonic looking wasps were nibbling on what appears to be a few unlucky Demons corpses they hunted. There were about seven of them and all big as a horse. The others minus Godzilla had such a chill down their spines they were basically paralyzed in stun fear. No one likes wasps and seeing horse-size demonic ones munching down on bodies was more than pants shitting terrifying.
"…Oh fuck this noise." Niffty spoke uncharacteristically.
But she soon regrets it as it appears the wasps heard her and snapped their attention to the group making them stiffen in fear.
"You had to say something…didn't you!" Vaggie snapped quietly.
The wasps let out an aggressive hiss as the all slowly crawled over to them. The Demons were now sweated bullets but they seemed to be stuck in their spot unable to move. They thought this was going to be it when they heard a loud threatening growl from behind. The sound broke their paralyzing spell and looked back at the noise and saw it was coming from the King himself. He was baring his teeth at them obviously not afraid of these oversize insects. Godzilla handed the box to Husker who barely caught it as he slowly enters the room going straight at the wasps.
"…They're all yours." Vaggie said happy to let Godzilla handle this.
The wasps saw the dinosaur walking up to them and they backed up a little bit letting out a louder hiss flaring their wings in order to scare him away.
It didn't do squat.
Seeing it wasn't working they all decided to attack him at once knowing they could overpower him this way.
A MINUTE AND A HALF LATER
All around Godzilla was the torn bodies of the wasps laying in their own pool of their blood. They never stood a chance against the King of the Monster.
Like no one saw that coming.
"…Well that was anticlimactic, fuckers didn't even last two minutes." Husker said obviously disappointed at how that ended thinking of would be a little more epic.
Godzilla spat out a piece of wasp from his teeth and left the room but stop for a second and gave Vaggie a look with a twitch in his eye before taking the box and moved into the hallway. Vaggie knew what that look meant and she felt she deserve that a little. Godzilla warned her this might happened and lo and behold it did making her feel like an idiot for not taking the initiative to look over the rooms earlier. They others decided to move on and check the rest of the rooms.
The two guys came up to another door and Husker search for the key. He found it shortly and opened the door…except it didn't move.
"Oh now what!?" He growled a little.
He put more pressure on the door but it didn't move an inch. He looked at it for a moment before slamming his entire body on the door using his weight to force it open but still nothing.
"Ok screw this, you think you can get this bitch open?" He asked Godzilla.
Godzilla looked at the door for a second before he reached over to the door testing the resistance of the door. Once he figured out how much of his strength he needed, he forced the door open but as he did a metal beam came out of nowhere and slammed into Godzilla's face hard.
"Damn, right in the kisser!" Husker hissed out as though he felt the pain.
The girls also cringed a little hearing the ring of metal hitting bone. Godzilla shook his head from the surprise and let out a short angry roar. He picked up the beam and looked at it as though he was thinking of how to harm it. He places the beam longways in his claws and before the others could figure out what he was doing, Godzilla crushed the beam by bring his claws together. The sound of screeching metal being compacted like that was near deafening causing them to cover their ears from it. Godzilla opened his claws and held a small metal ball of the beam; it was glowing red from the heat made by the compression. The others looked at the ball having a hard time to believe he made that from a beam in less the a second.
"…That's bullshit on so many levels." Husker said looking bewildered at seeing that happened.
Godzilla snorted and flung the ball to the side in the room. But as it hit the ground it made a large dent in the floor as if it weighed a lot.
"What the?!" Vaggie did a doubletake at that.
"Guess the metal ball is still that beam and the beam looked heavy." Niffty guessed.
The two decided let it dropped and all four of them looked into the room. It was dark and was a complete wreck, something defiantly happened here but what was the mystery.
"Man, this place looked like a bomb went off." Husker commented walking in the room to get a better look inside.
Visibility inside was low at best so it was hard to really see what the room really looked like. It was so bad he didn't see the piece of bent metal that looked like a L with the ends bent up. Once Husker stepped on it, it suddenly shot up straight between his legs and-
THWACK!
Everything seemed to stopped at that moment as the others saw and heard what happened. The two girls winced back knowing the extreme pain Husker was now experiencing. No one moved for about a minute as they all stood in silence. Finally, Husker slowly turned to them with a face that looks like one would look like when hit in the family jewels. Eyes bugged out, mouth wide open, and a silent scream that he wanted to let out. Then he fell to the ground holding his crushed junk whimpering in pain. The others slowly walked up to the pain riddle Demon as Niffty kneeled next to him patting his back trying to sooth the pain.
"Uh…just…take your time." Vaggie said using a sympathetic tone.
"…Yeah…thanks…Fuck!" He said in a squeaky voice.
Godzilla tilted his head to the side not really understanding this reaction. The two girls saw this and after a moment realized why he was looking confused.
"You never seen a nut shot before?" Vaggie asked and Godzilla just raised his brow at that.
"You know, when something hits your balls really hard you feel like your going to throw up and experiencing a lot of pain in the gut?" She explained but he still looked confused.
"Really, you never seen one or experience one?" Niffty asked and he shook his head no.
"Lucky…you." Husker gasped out.
"Oh, come on, you mean to tell me in your millions of years you never got hit in the sack, not even by a foe playing dirty?" Vaggie asked and Godzilla grunted as a response as if saying no.
"That's horseshit! Every guy needs to get hit at least once! It's an unwritten rule!" Husker said in anger feeling the pain subsided a little for him to sit up.
The two girls looked at Husker wondering where he got that rule from. Godzilla himself didn't care if it is a rule, he has no desire to feel any type of pain. He growled out a little and decided to move around the room a little to see what else was in it. And it seems karma was there right in the room with them cause Godzilla stepped on a metal pole similar to the one Husker stepped on and like with Husker hit him square in the crotch. The others saw this and worried what will happen next though Husker was grinning a little seeing he wouldn't be the only one in pain. After a few moments, Godzilla just looked at the pole and then at the others with a raise brow wondering if that was it. He felt nothing even if the exact thing happened with Husker making the girls stunned to see this and Husker mad.
"Oh for fuck sakes! You mean to tell me he has nuts of steel!? That's so unfair!" He whined.
Looks like Karma was more for Husker than Godzilla, man she's a bitch huh?
"Ok let's just finish this up, I'm already fed up with this as with the rest of you. Come on you drunk, just a few more rooms and we can call this a day, ok?" Vaggie asked and he nodded.
So the girls helped him up and left the room with Godzilla. After searching the other rooms with one smelling like a pile of corpses baking in the sun while being marinated in skunk stink juice that almost made them pass out, the finally reached the last door.
"Finally! Let's make this quick and be done with this shit." Vaggie said and the others nodded.
But when Husker touched the handle, he reeled back from surprise hissing in mild pain.
"Fuck!" He yelled holding his paw in pain.
"What happened?" Niffty asked.
"Damn thing is cold as fuck!" He replied.
"What do you mean cold?" Vaggie asked.
"Like cold as placing your hand on a slab of ice! You know, that type of burning feeling from ice. That's what it feels like." He explained.
The others looked confused at this wondering what could make something that cold. Godzilla reached out and grip the knob feeling the bitter cold but was unaffected by it. He opened the door as the sound of ice breaking apart and seeing a few pieces fell into the light for them all to see.
"Now what fresh Hell is this?" Vaggie asked in anger.
The others peered in the dark room and saw the tint of blue on the ice-covered room that was everywhere. But that wasn't the only thing they saw. The saw the illuminating lights of what looked like bean-shape creatures who clung to the walls of the room. Before they could even think, many eyes snapped to them with a hungry look in them. The creatures slowly dislodge themselves from the walls and floated ever so slightly to them with tendrils scythe out.
"…ah shit." Vaggie said with an apathetic face.
END OF FLASHBACK
"And that's how we were being chased by those things, what was supposed to be a simple chore turned into a really pain in the ass ordeal." Vaggie finished her tale taking a sip of her bottle water curtesy to Moe who got them all something to drink.
"I still don't understand where those creatures came from? The wasps I've heard they've been sighted before but these 'Void Dwellers' I've never even heard of them." Charlie scratched her head a little.
"Not surprising since they don't originate from Hell, but from the deep cold freeze of space." Moe said making the others looked at him shocked.
"Wait…are you saying we were being chased by aliens!" Vaggie couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Indeed. Void Dwellers are ambush predators that move through the stars looking and hunting creatures of any kind that gives of living energies. Thanks to their evolve sceneries, they can sense such energies for almost a lightyear away. They normally will attack almost anything alive, even dangerous creatures as they use their vast numbers to overwhelm the prey using the scythes to attack in short burst to ware down the target. Once weakened enough, the pack latches on the prey and slowly drain it till it dies, which could take years to do." Moe explained.
"…Goddamn, first the dino here and now these things? How many of these kinds of dangerous fuckers are we going to come across?" Husker asked.
"I hope no more, I never thought owning a hotel could be so…chaotic." Charlie ran her hand through her hair at the possible idea of dealing with more creatures like them.
"Still doesn't explain how they got here. If they come from space than how did they get in the hotel?" Vaggie asked.
"With your permission, I wish to study one of the corpses and the room they came from. I should be able to get the answer in a few days." Moe asked.
"If that'll help, Godzilla hold on a moment!" She called out the King as he was dragging the last body of the Void Dwellers to the window.
Moe quickly went up to the body and made a few scans on the body before nodding to Godzilla that he could finish it up. Godzilla did just that and flung the body out, once done he walked over to Vaggie looking straight in her eye. She saw this and groaned knowing what'll happened. Decided to face it now, she got up and ready herself for the ass-chewing she's going to get.
"Alright, let me have it. I deserve it." She said with a sigh.
"Vaggie?" Charlie looked at her not knowing what she was talking about.
"I'm going to get my ass chewed out for not checking out the hotel when we first got it." She explained.
"Oh…than I'll receive it too. I also was negligent as well. If I also done this after getting the hotel this wouldn't happen. So, go ahead Godzilla, we deserve it." She stood next to her girlfriend readying for the tongue lashing.
"That and more, I'm not here to fix your mess or deal with your incompetence. This was your responsibility, given where we reside it was more than likely something like this could happened and it did. And it is only worse that this all happened without you two knowing for at least a month! I thought you two were smarter than this!" He growled giving them a stern stare.
The two girls cringed a little from his words knowing he was right. They shrink back looking like kids getting scolded by their parents with Charlie looking down with a sad face rubbing her arms with Vaggie looking away also having a face that says 'I fucked up' written all over holding her arms behind her back.
"But I suppose it isn't your fault entirely. Your younglings and are still learning, it's part of life. How you handle it determines how far you'll go. Learn from this and you will grow stronger in both wisdom and knowledge, just never stop moving forward. That's the fastest way to face death." Godzilla finished.
The two looked at him kinda stunned he was giving them advice but they were glad he didn't go to deep in his verbal attack on them. Its still stings but it was a lesson they will take heart.
"Never thought I get a life lesson from a dinosaur…life is really weird." Vaggie said with a small smile.
"Ditto, and thanks for not going to deep in telling us we fucked up. We see that now and we'll try to improve. Thanks Godzilla." Charlie said and he nodded.
"Ok, life lesson done, I'm hungry and fed up with this day! I'm heading to the kitchen to raid the fridge." Husker spoke up and walked away from the others to the stairs.
"I'm peck-ish too, I hope we still have that fish we had the other night. It was good!" Niffty hopped after Husker.
"I'll stay here and continue to gather more intel. I'll see you all later." Moe said and floated to the room where the Void Dwellers came from.
"Yeah, I'm done with this day too…hey Godzilla, let me make you something to eat, call it thanks for dealing this with day with me. Least I could do." Vaggie offered to make lunch.
He gave her a confuse stare but agreed. The two went down the stairs slowly with Vaggie going behind Godzilla just in case he fell down the stairs again.
Only Charlie stood in the hallway thinking all that has happened so far. She was getting worried at the progression this was heading and wondered what other headaches will appeared. She knew running the hotel would have challenges but this was getting a little more dangerous than she wanted. And she can't help but wonder if all that has happened here so far was for the fact she first brought Godzilla in. She felt a little worried that she might brought in something that could put all their lives in danger. Charlie quickly shook that idea out of her head. She won't blame Godzilla for any of this or for any future pain in the ass. She won't be like everyone else who scorn and shunned him.
"I knew this would be dangerous and difficult, I need to own up my decision and deal with it. I won't pin the problem on him, he doesn't need that nor is it his fault. I must and will own what I started and see it to the end." Charlie reinsure herself.
With that in mind she went down stairs and eat with the rest.
And done!
Yay! Another chapter done; this was a really good one!
It seems there's a crap more to deal with than just finding willing guests, what will happen next and how they'll deal with it is still a matter of when. But with the Big G with them it shouldn't be too shitty…I hope.
Next time it looks like Alastor is scheming around to see what fun he'll have messing with Godzilla a little...yeah he's boned!
Whelp I hope you guys like this one. Please let me know and I'll see you all in the next chapter. OUT!
