Hello one and all in Interweb Land!
How's it hanging? Hope you all are doing well. Ready to see what happens next? Good! But before that I wish to address some things you have been asking.
First, yes, I have seen most if not all of the new Godzilla Vs. Kong trailers and I am aware Monster-verse Godzilla has a resemblance to Godzilla 2000. And it does but I'm still keeping the 2000 look. Not going to change that for a few reasons, main one is I still really, really, really, really, really like that design more than the others and this is my story so I get to choose what this Godzilla will look like.
Second, no, religion of any kind will not be mentioned, nor will I bash it. Kinda strange that was brought up but whatever.
Third is the news helicopter thing. Never had it in the original nor will it be in this one. And when you think about it, that's a bad idea cause what's in the skies during the Cleansing? That's right, those murderous flying rats with wings. Why would anyone be in the air with those dudettes flying all over? Not a good idea.
Fourth, I'm not sure if I'll be doing any of the song bits in the chapters. At most it'll be just something like Godzilla just staring at the people singing all of a sudden with no apparent reason then just leaves. Again, might just skip those parts cause those are kinda hard for me to integrate into the story.
Fifth, the idea the Exorcists leaving the Hellborn alone is indeed canon but let's be honest with ourselves, you REALLY think at least one of those Angels won't try to take the chance to kill one if the opportunity present itself? I can definitely see them doing the whole 'but he/she/they were coming at me, and I had no choice but to defend myself' or 'I couldn't tell this was a Hellborn and not a Sinner' horse crap just to have an excuse to do it. If they're as gun ho as we've been made to believe, then at least one of them has done it.
Six, the deal with Godzilla killing those angels changes the plot of the first season, mainly with Vags going to see Carmelia and other stuff surrounding the death of that one Angel. While I will address those points in the story, that's not the focus I'm doing with this story. A part yes but not the biggest deal. Can't say more cause it'll ruin the surprise.
Seven, how did Godzilla enter Hell, and does it pertain to why they're aliens in Hell? Second to that is yes but I won't spoil now as to how, why, and what cause as it will be answered in future chapters.
Eight, the thing with Demonic Dinos. Yes, I know about Miss Zilla and yeah, I understand Charlie probably has seen that Overlord plus the others and there is a good chance she seen another dino type Sinners too but...Yeah, I got nothing on that one. Might go back to change it later.
And that's about it, the rest are either about things I won't say cause spoilers, or I forgot to answer. so let me know what I missed to answer from you readers.
Now with that out of the way, let's take a gander of what will happen in this chapter.
Godzilla just did a freak'n number on those Angels that they will never forget, and you can bet your caboose that'll be brought up soon. Plus, we got to see him interact with some of the members of the Hazbin Hotel. Granted it wasn't much, barely considered a first meet and greet, but it was one for the books. Yet our Princess seems to be in a bit of a conundrum right now. And it all stems from Godzilla's unrestraint asswhooping he gave the Exorcist. But Charlie sees an opportunity that has led her to hatch up an insane plan that revolves around Godzilla. And the first part of her plan is to seek out the King of the Monster, and in doing so will change the course of not only her life, but those of Hell, Hevean, and beyond.
Really hope she knows what she's doing cause you fuck this up, you ain't getting a second chance.
Let's see how this one plays out.
Read on and enjoy!
IN THE SEARCH OF THE KING, ONE MOST BE BRAVE...OR A COMPLETE FUCKING LUNATIC!
Roughly a week passed since Extermination Day came and went and...well...
Everyone is basically losing their shit.
For so long, everyone in Hell, mainly the Sinners, have always believed or at least accepted that killing the Exorcists was not possible. Different reasons as to why that is but it all boils down to the Angels being a pain to deal with as they can fly and have those cheap as hell one kill always weapons they have on them. Since most Sinners can't fly nor do any know what could even harm these psychos, no one bothered to even try. So, when the news about over a thousand of them being killed off started, at first no one believe it. They all thought it was either a hoax or really bad attempt of a joke.
Then videos, pictures, and the corpses of that day circulated all over every media you can think of, it quickly became clear this wasn't any hoax, wasn't a joke, and that itself change everything.
Overnight all of Hell was in an uproar of the death of so many Angels. Some were celebrating over the killings, seeing as a great thing to happen in Hell in recent times and that calls for some partying. Others were having mini crises moments trying to rationalize and to make sense of this development, making them reevaluate all that they knew and were told. Which cause some to have slight mental break downs. It was a batshit crazy thing to ever happen so it was somewhat inevitable that there would be some that would lose their marbles over this. There were those that were scheming and making plans to either exploit this situation and/or 'utilize' the one that did this or make preparations for a possible backlash if this goes south. And there were some who didn't give a rat's ass about the whole thing and just went about their day like this wasn't important.
Man, these Hell spawns are really freaking out about the Big Man kicking major Angel ass huh?
Now as stated before, there has never been any proof or documentation of any kind that an Exorcist was or has been off'd. There has been a crap ton of rumors, tall tales, stories, and so on of those that claimed to down one or a few of them in a single round. But of course, everyone called B.S. on those who made those claims cause once again, no proof means it didn't happen. Oh, and it is a really big pain in the ass when it comes with those Mutated Pigeon Freaks in the first place. With the weapons those Fuckers have can cause serious harm to anyone to the point of you might as well be consider dead, ability to be speedy in flight, and just bloodthirsty freaks too boot, makes taken them on a dicey proposition in the best of times and done right suicidal for rest of the time.
So, for those that have claimed to down one, they must be either OP as shit, cunning like fox, or freak'n lucky to do so...or lying through their teeth, the last part is generally what really happens. And even if it was true someone killed these Angels, there's the problem of fact that the Exorcists have a nasty albeit tactically logical habit to be in groups when hunting the Citizens of Hell which as you can guess makes taken them on a real bastard of a time which in turn means there's a good chance if you do kill one, the rest will end you. It's never just one of them, granted you will find a lone Exorcist on the hunt but that's a rarity. And to compound the shittyness of trying to kill these jerks even more, it is basically impossible to go up against even a small group without coming out of it Scott Free. It is a guarantee to get hurt at some point. From just a tiny scratch to full blown having every injury known in the medical book, best bet you ain't walking out without getting banged up. Now one can slowly see why all are either shocked, scared, enthusiastic, cautious, or don't care enough to such a high degree about this.
But to get the full picture of why everyone is acting like this one must know what normally happens during and after the Exorcist come down for a fun full day of killing everything that has a heartbeat to really grasp this Holy Shit deal. Now the during part of the Extermination is a clean and cut deal, shit ton of Sinners die and there is a good amount of damage to all of the Pride Ring. Nothing more to say on that one so moving on. The after part is where things get interesting, to some degree that is. After a decent majority of Demons go bye-bye for good, a vast, and we're talking vast, amounts of new empty territories are open to those who are either crazy enough, suicidal enough, ballsy enough, or have the entrepreneurial spirit to take these new open real-estate as their own. This inevitably cause a slew of problems and hassle for all involved and those who aren't, but it was the standard around Hell. You think you can take, then take. And if you don't think you can take, be a little whiny bitch and complain over social media that it isn't fair and that you could so do it if it wasn't the fault of someone or something or whatever you're placing the blame on to soothe your bruise ego and snowflake life.
...Wow...some are really just pathetic little shits huh?
There's also the collection of the Angelic weapons that the Exorcist leave behind that can be used for obvious killing others for whatever reason, yeah the Angels just leave their weapons behind after each Cleansing, not all but some do. Not clear why but it's mostly understood that Angels know the citizens of Hell will use them to kill each other which they are totally on board with that idea. Oh, and on a sidenote, there's also a lot of looting that happens too. Granted that happens every day in Hell but the number of nicked stuff goes up a few levels during the Purge. Just something to add to the list. So, now the basic understanding of the happenings during and after each Extermination are understood, you can see why those in Hell are acting the way they are now. Because so many Angels kicked the bucket 'acquiring' new crap of either territory or stuff was now smaller than before. Which irked more than a few but that's to be expected.
Knowing all that, if someone would to tell you a single individual took on over a thousand of those things, overpowered them with little effort, their weapons did jack shit, killed them off single handily, and leaving the conflict with nary a scoff mark on them, you would easily say bullshit faster than a grease pig on a slip and slide. Cause no one has ever killed one, ever! Let alone a thousand of them. So no, it's not possible…
Yet that exact scenario is indeed what happened.
A dinosaur-like creature from who knows where started slaughtering any and all Angels that came in its sight and the Angels themselves seemed to be unable to kill it no matter what weapon they had on hand 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 platter so easily, then it was something not to cross. For all of Hell has witness something that hasn't been done in all of Hell's history. The total and utter ownage of Angel whoop ass.
This one action, this one single event put into challenged everything that others thought they knew. And then questions came flying in. How did this happen, how was this possible, is this just a weird one-off where a series of events and decision had to happen on order for this to take place, what was the creature that did this, is it a demon, if not, then what could it be, where did it come from, will it come back, will it come after us?
And so many more.
And that's why everyone is basically crapping their pants, Big Man puts the fear in you even when he isn't doing it to you personally.
But then that doesn't explain how anyone knows it was the King that butchered the Angels. Well, it seemed a bunch of unlucky idiots that work for the local news called 666 News were in the area where Godzilla was killing the Angels and filmed the whole thing. Why were they out in the carnage in the first place…well for the fact that they were-
"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 to into his shirt yet oddly lets his slick ashy blonde hair.
…Well speak of the devil…demon…whatever, its these numb nuts that you should thank for making the King known throughout Hell now.
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 anchor 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 retard to hear about it and I'm guessing there's a lot of you, during our last Extermination, a massive number of Exorcists were brutally massacred one by one by a creature that looks like an edge lord dinosaur that tried way too hard. 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 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 the shit did this thing come from and what is it actually? Because there is no fucking way this monster is a demon."
"As far as anyone with a few brain cells can tell…yeah no clue whatsoever. It's hard to tell if it is a Demon as we can see here that one of the Exorcist 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 even some of the Princes of Sin 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 higher ups wanting to know about…does this thing even got a 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 they were 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. Reason differs from one to another but most want this thing in their back pockets, cause no shit they want this thing as their personal weapon. So, the hunt is on to find this thing, but that seems to be harder than you think. 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 wreak revenge on the Exorcists…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 it's 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.
"Should've figure that would lead 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. And it all revolves around what Godzilla did. The first thing to note is after that video of Godzilla killing the Angels went out to the masses, waves of Reporters, Journalist, and nosey people with nothing better to do swarm the hotel and pestered the two gals about the slaughter. Charlie was able to B.S. her way to make it seemed that she had no further knowledge beyond what happened and was able to cement that she nor Vaggie had any clue what Godzilla was or where he went. But it was only barely that she was able get them to believe her that she had nothing to do with the King or what happened. Just a bystander that just so happened to be there when the smack down commenced.
Guess Miss Sunshine can be political if need be, good on ya!
Now not all believed her that she knows nothing more but for now she was able to squeak out the 'play innocent' card to get the vultures off her hinny. The next thing to note is her plan to spread the word about her hotel and what it was going to do. She got a spot on the 666 News to talk about it mostly thanks to the video and a segment that was supposed to happen didn't. And that went as well as expected.
It went to hell while in Hell talking about the new idea for Hell...feels like there some weird poetic reverse irony in there but damned if it could be found...nor is it important.
The interview didn't pan out as Charlie hoped and it left a bad stain for her Redemption plan. But all was not in the toilet it seems as at least one person sought her out to help with her idea. Who this individual was though may cause others to...rethink accepting their help. For to who answer the call was a Sinner known as the Radio Demon. One of the most feared Overlords of the Pride Ring, this dude scares others so much to the point they would willingly kill themselves just to avoid being near him. For his reputation and what he has was so renowned that it strikes fear in the hearts, minds, and souls to so many. And when you have someone like him coming knocking on your door saying he will lend a hand, best for you to say fuck no, slammed the door, lock it tight, and hide hoping he'll go away. But for Charlie, this could be an advantage she needs.
Now obviously they're drawbacks to having the Radio Demon near you, as her girlfriend mentioned multiple times, the Princess though sees that if she can get his help in any form then it could benefit her hotel. Charlie wasn't stupid knowing straight up trusting him was a losing gambit, she knows what he's done and could do if given the opportunity. Any leeway on her part could and would spell disaster for her hotel. Yet on the flipside, she still agreed to his help thinking not only could she utilize his area of expertise in radio broadcast she might be able to reform the Overlord as well. Which would be a freaking boon to her hotel. It was a long shot, but she was willing to do it.
Tall order there but who knows, maybe she won't be totally screwed...just a little.
The next big thing to happen is her meeting with the Leader of the Exorcists, Adam. Thanks to her pops she was able to get a sit down with him to talk about her Redemption idea hoping that this could help move her idea in the right directions. At the very least if she could convince him to give her some leeway and possibly agree with her plan then she knows it would greatly increase her chances of success. But it went about as well as the interview at the news station, which is to say it went really poorly. Adam heard her idea, laughed at it, belittle her, and slammed the door in her face. There was more to it but that's basically how it went down. But on a weird and rather shocking turn of events, he didn't mention anything about Godzilla, nor did he bring up the fact she did kill one of his troops, hell, it didn't seem to cross his mind to ask her any questions about that day.
Charlie would have thought he would grill her about it but nope, not a peep. She actually dreaded that and had like five backup excuses for it, but it seems she didn't need them. Guess she lucked out that none of the Angels that fled spilled the beans to him she did kill an Angel and it was also doubly luckily the video didn't capture her or Vaggie killing them either.
Wow what a seemingly coincidental bullshit luck to happen huh?
The Princess though was glad to dodge that bullet so it was all good. Not really but still.
And the last key thing was Godzilla himself, or more to the point, what he did.
After that video surface, everyone and their second twice removed stepmom was talking about it none stop. It was the hottest topic around Hell and everyone has something to say about it. Once again, the King did the unimaginable and that was not a minor thing to look over. Charlie knows this more than any. What the Monster Monarch achieved was thought an impossibility, to kill one was unheard of, to kill that many in one go? Fucking insane! She still has a hard time believing he was able to pull that off and she was there to see it firsthand. But what soured her mood about it is because he killed them, everyone seems to only take notice on that and nothing else. Including her Redemption plan. It was like her idea was not worth even bringing up in conversation in favor of the slaughter the King handed to the Angels.
Again, she understands why but that doesn't mean she's ok with it. It rubs her the wrong way that her plans and hotel are not even worth a spot on the second or third fiddle line up. Now that just irks her.
Hey, she maybe the incarnation of Sunshine, Joy, Happiness, Compassion, and Hope but she's still a demon and her ego can be bruised enough for her to cry foul.
But what truly gives her pause is Godzilla himself, and what he could potentially bring to her world. Charlie believes he could bring great change to Hell and all that would entail, and his massacre of the Angles was but a glimpse of what that could be. She knew without a shadow of a doubt that the King was the most dangerous creature to ever set foot in the Inferno. What he unleashed on the Exorcist was but a small portion of his true might and power. Charlie understood that Godzilla could if certain criteria were met, bring the complete ruin of her home. All of Hell would be utterly and completely destroyed. Nothing would be left in his wake of Carnage and Destruction, none would have the strength to match his, no power would stop him, and all would be lost in a sea of fire, corpses, destruction, pain, and ruble as he blazes a trail of the annihilation of Hell.
And that possibility terrifies her more than anything.
Now the question she was asking herself and one that was hard to answer was this: could she do anything to prevent or mitigate it to a point that it would not be a complete apocalyptic nightmare?
Charlie laid back in her chair crossing her arms thinking about 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. At least were it matters to her the most. Her Parents and the Princes have a very good chance in stopping the king if he does go postal but there's no certainty in that either. Charlie only saw a slither of his powers, so it is quite possible Godzilla has enough firepower to take on both her parents and the Princes head on, perhaps even kill them. Thus, she can't rely on them to stop Godzilla if such a scenario occurs. And if they can't stop him, what chance would she have? She might feel a sense responsibility to try and stop him with being the Princess of Hell and seeing it was her obligation to halt all problems that could ruin her home, in her opinion at least. Course feeling the need to stop shit from hitting the fan and actually doing it are two vastly different points she couldn't look over.
She might have some moves and power of her own but she wouldn't fool herself in believing she has a chance in...well here to take on the Monster Monarch and thinking she would win.
Godzilla was a league of his own that Charlie has no hope of competing against. But that wasn't her only problem when it comes to Godzilla, she has little to fuck all knowledge about him. Lacking in any info on him, Charlie doesn't know what he can, will, or might do. With her limited interaction with him, she has zero idea as to where he is, what his plans are, if he has desires, what he wants, if he'll stay hidden, cause problems, do nothing, do something, or what his next move will be if any. And a slew of other questions she has no answer too. He was a mystery that makes it hard to plan around. 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. Charlie doesn't know if he would go on a rampage or not, all she has to go on is what would be the results if he did and a vague understanding of his mannerisms, being, and so on. 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? From what little I've been able to scrounge up, he seems to have little regard to anything others say to him, basically walk past anyone he doesn't deem worth his time, and if pushed just so, will kill you on the spot before moving on. So…yeah, I'm pretty much screwed on actually doing anything about this. Damn this is frustrating. How can I think of something if I got nothing to work with?" Charlie let out an irritated sigh resting her head on her arms.
"Why can't anything be easy? Just this once I would like to have a problem that can be solved with no trouble. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised, been alive long enough to know life can just be hassled to deal with as there isn't always a ready to go answer for every problem you encounter. This hotel of mine is a good example...or it could be just me having crappy luck, been getting a lot of those lately." The Princess chuckled at her predicament seeing it all as bad comedy made real.
"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 more like a jagged cliffside but all in all, I don't think he's like most here. I mean 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. And he seems more than content to stay hidden from anyone. There hasn't been a sighting of him for a week and it looks like he wants to keep it that way. Which I'm fine with, if he continues this then there won't be a possible crisis I might need to deal with. No death, no destruction, no worries, that would be cool beans if it stays like that. And even if he did reappear, it's more than likely he won't cause trouble without a good reason, at least to me. He ain't a troublemaker, doesn't look for trouble, takes something big for him to retaliate, and basically just wants a hermit lifestyle. Kinda hard to do that here but it's possible. And heck, if this is what he truly is like, he might actually make…a…good…" Slowly the words die in her throat as her eyes widen a little when a sudden idea popped in her mind.
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 eureka moment.
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 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 come in droves. 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. And as a added bonus, this could prevent any unneeded calamity Godzilla could bring.
Now that's killing two birds with one stone to its finest, if she can pull it off that is.
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 jerks with their nasty 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! There's a good chance that this could backfire. But I'm willing to take the chance. 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 speed 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 say only two simple words.
"…Well crap." 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. It was a seven-foot tall, rather dapper looking Sinner Demon with beige-colored skin that sported a pinkish-red cropped, angled bob-cut with black tips at the ends and two large, black tipped tufts of hair extending from the top of his head, evoking the ears of a deer. The style has an undercut at the back, and two small black antlers protruding from the crown. There's also a pair of small black antlers on his head.
His eyes are dark-red sclerae, bright-red irises and thin black pupils. His forearms and lower legs fade to dark grey, and he has red hoofed toes and red fingers though you couldn't tell from his jacket. Speaking of, he wears a red pinstripe coat with dark-red lapels piped with white, which is ragged along the bottom hem. Underneath this he wears a bright red dress-shirt with a black cross on the chest, and long black dress pants with matching bright red cuffs. He also wears a dark-red oval-shaped monocle, rimmed with black, over his right eye.
His add-ons are a black knotted bowtie with a bright red center, black gloves with red at the fingertips, and black pointed-toe boots with red deer hoofprints emblazoned on the soles. He also carries a thin cane with a sentient vintage style microphone attached to it.
This stylish person was none other than the fearsome 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 showing his sharp yellow teeth with his eyes half shut giving off a slightly creepy vibe. Now one thing to know about him is he is always smiling but that doesn't mean he's happy. He gives this false sense of calm when in reality he could go all psycho on your ass in a split second still smiling Joker style ending your life. And the power he wields is no laughing matter. Dude could snuff you out with but a snap of his fingers with the last memory you have is the flash of a grin and the lasting echos of his laughter before you are no more.
Fucker is dangerous that's for sure, no wonder he's considered one of the most feared Sinners Hell has ever seen.
"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 to 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 jester and let him help her back to her feet.
"My pleasure, so what got you hoping in such haste?" He asks.
"Um…that's a little hard to answer 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 hard to understand till I get the answer myself, 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.
Alastor looked at the where the Princess exited thinking what secrets she could be hiding from him and how he'll enjoy extracting them from her. Willingly or not.
"I do hope you have something juicy in waiting to be shown in the limelight Little Demon Belle, you've haven't disappointed me yet. Keep on serving, I await for you to show me yet another...interesting enjoyment to feed on." 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 she 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 twelve days ago of what appears to be a meteor crashing into a district called Wasteland. Years ago, this district was supposed to be an expansion of the city to help with the overpopulation, 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 to settle things and now no one can live there…ideocracy at its finest folks. Now it's 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. So, she figures that it could be Godzilla given he isn't what would consider a 'normal' newcomer. 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 facts and guesses she has on the King, it was highly plausible he might be around there. Or at the very least it would be a good starting point. 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 here." This made the two confused at the order.
"I understand that's a bit of a weird order, but I need it for our new guest."
Again, they gave her a puzzled look, asking without words who it was which the Princess picked up on so decided to just tell them who she was talking about and get over the 'they're going to freak out' part now.
"So, the guest I'm talking about is that dinosaur creature that was at our hotel a few days ago. I'm going to invite him to stay and try our Redemption Program."
As expected, Razzle and Dazzle did start to freak out about the idea of the King of the Monsters being anywhere near them or more importantly, Charlie. Like everyone else, the Goat Demons have a rather healthy amount of fear to Godzilla. They saw first-hand that you don't fuck with this guy cause he will put you down without hesitation. If their Mistress was going to search for the Rad Dino, they fear it could turn on her and even with them coming to her aid, they know they stand no chance at coming out alive.
Charlie saw they fear in her little bodyguards and understood what she just said is not something one would consider insane. But she also knows if she can pull this off, then this could set off a chain of events of making her Home a better place for all. It could also backfire and send everything into a worst situation than now. But she's willing to roll the dice here, but she needs help. Which means she needs their help. So, she needs to calm them down just enough for them to enact part of her new crazy plan.
Good luck with that Your Highness cause this idea of yours is like climbing Everest in a fucking speedo.
"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 nodded they will do this for her.
"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.
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 Angels. 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 one 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 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 during 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 out for the Angel Slayer. We're here to jump it not it jumping 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 meant 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.
"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.
"Is there 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 Angel 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 ass. 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 with 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 embarrassing.
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's gotten too much.
"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 looking forward thinking how he'll handle this; best option was to just kill them. 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 one to him quickly but Godzilla understood it just as fast. He got ready for the upcoming slaughter.
"Please don't kill them." Charlie spoke up softly.
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. The 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 her. He heard others begging 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 possibly other answers he seeks could be finally reveled. 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 so suddenly 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 over to the closer 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 too were lights out but nothing too serious, 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 them 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 to her 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 with Charlie swinging in the air as she brought her legs close to her chest and her arms stiffen on her side 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 waiting.
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 just in case my name is Charlie and…I'm guessing you want to know why I'm here?" Charlie said in a rather small tune.
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, verbal communications outside of his audible roars, grunts, and so on was never part of his bag of tricks. Words were a no go for him in every sense.
"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'll open up a few known problems associated with using it that he really doesn't want to deal with. Plus, it can always be used against him if one knows the tricks. Looking at Charlie though he feels she wouldn't do anything dick-ish, not sure why but he just feels to be true. So, with a sigh he made up his mind.
"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. 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 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 found ways to annoy or cause problems while I use this, so I made the decision to only use this when I absolutely need to. That and I just don't feel the need to communicate with others that often as they tend to talk for eternity on things I have no care for."
"Jeez you don't have to sound mean about it. But I promise I won't abuse I like others have in the past; you have my word." She said sincerely.
Godzilla felt this was true but he won't tell her this.
"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.
Charlie wasn't used to it yet and you can tell.
"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 thought.
"What game are you playing at, yes I heard that. 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 distance 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.
"…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 I 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, it's 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 to communicate to Godzilla covertly.
"If you have doubts about her claim than it is understandable. What she's purposing does seem too convenient in this matter but from what I gather so far may not be too far-fetched. Since she is the Princess of Hell, no I'm not joking, evidently they do have a Royalty system similar the ones humans use, she could have knowledge of how the inner workings of entering and exiting this realm functions. At the very least, what she'll have to say can be our best starting point to cross examine and fact check to see if what she says is truthful or not. But it's up to you." It read out 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 would 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, given she is a Hellborn Demon with the blood of the Fallen Angel Lucifer running through her veins. Moe believe she might be more dangerous than her appearance gives her and what she was displaying was just a façade to trick others into whatever scheme she had planned. But after getting more info about her and seeing her display of concern towards others and just her attitude in general, he feels that she is indeed a good person. 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 know 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 prank 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, correct? How I kill and destroy all in my way? Then you know in your own heart that those claims our 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 M.W.L…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 wouldn't suppose you'll ignore what you just heard and not ask some questions…right?" She asked with a nervous smile hoping he wouldn't press about the phone call.
"As long as this doesn't hinder us any further than I honestly could care less." Godzilla said simply.
"Oh…well then, cool beans. Let's head to the Hotel without further ado." Charlie said with a bit of an upbeat tune in her voice actually surprised/glad he didn't peruse it as she thought he would.
Charlie 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. For he'll need it just as much on this next leg of his journey here. As the three left the ruin district, Godzilla and Charlie were having new thoughts and questions about what lay before them next. For Charlie, she hoped that this would be the first step in the path to a better place for the home and the people she holds dear in her heart. If her plan of redeeming the King of the Monster works, so many avenues of possibilities could open for her. It won't be easy; the Princess has seen Godzilla is going to be a challenge to deal with. He's shown to be more difficult for her to do...well anything really so she'll need all her wits and determination to make any headway with him. It will be difficult no doubt and she doesn't know how she'll achieve it and there still the fear she has of him just going apeshit and go on a rampage. But even with all that looming over her, she believes with careful planning, patients, and a freak'n mega ton of luck, she'll preserver.
As for Godzilla, he was mainly thinking this better not be a waste of his time. This whole thing about her helping him leave Hell still felt fishy. He has no idea if he could really trust her word, it could very be some sort of trap to lure in him a sense of false believe and then either exploit or harm him. Either way, he'll have his Atomic Breath at the ready just in case she tries to pull a fast one on him. Yet, he still feels she was genuine about helping him. Why he feels this he's not sure, perhaps it's for the fact she was a bit of an odd duck that he's doing this? It's possible and even understood that this could be the reason why he is even doing this in the first place. She has so far shown to him that she isn't dickhead like so many he's met thus far, everything about her almost screams the opposite in fact. And while he still knows she isn't divulging everything and was keeping something from him, he still feels it's not out of malic or asshole-ness. But more of...fear? Godzilla wasn't sure how to put it, just that he knows what she hides is not really a bad thing.
Again, has no clue why but just feels it's so.
Well, whatever the case is with Charlie, Godzilla figures if anything, she'll be of some use to him. Even it might amount to little, if at all. And who knows, maybe she can get him out of here. Still has reservation but what the hell, what's he got to lose?
And thus the Princess of Hell and King of the Monsters headed to an unknown future with a little invisible robot in tow side by side with this last thought in mind:
This better not be a utter fuck up cause screw that to hell and back!
And Cut!
Now that was a fun chapter to make!
Looks like our favorite Hell Princess was able to not only find Big G but also got him to agree to Redemption!
Ok the last part isn't true but still, kudos for her not fucking this up and ending in her early grave! That in itself is a massive achievement. But now comes the hard part, trying to convince him in doing her Redemption plan all the while to make sure he doesn't turn Hell in the past tense. I do not envy her on that hurdle cause that's a mighty big one to jump. Not to mention she needs to figure out how to get him to the hotel without being see.
Yup, this will be a pain all right, let's wish her all the luck.
In the next chapter, Charlie and Godzilla, with Moe of course, heads to the hotel where the Princess gets to know a little more about her new guest while Godzilla just becomes more confused about her in turn. And we'll also get to see the other HH Crew as well. Wonder how they'll react to the 'Angel Slayer' being the new guest of the hotel?
Not even going be coy here because it's obvious this is going to cause an uproar with them, more so with certain people. Like, can you see this turning out any other way besides them shitting their pants in fear and trying to nope'd the fuck out of there? I can't. But it'll still be fun to watch!
Welp, that's about it to say here folks. But there are a few things I want to bring up. For those who have seen my other Fanfic will notice I split this chapter in two. I mainly did this to keep this chapter for getting too long. It'll help me turn out more chapters quicker for you all to read. And it helps me out as well, I like to make these chapters and put as much as I can but I have the tendency to but too much information in a single part that it seems to be drawn out unnecessarily. Like, I'm prolonging the point I'm trying to make that it almost turns into an essay on why whatever I'm typing is this or that. It's fun for me but I know not everyone is keen on reading thousands of words on a point or a piece of information when only a few hundred would do just as well.
But yeah, I get carried away that sometimes I need to stop and look at it and need to ask myself, 'if I take this out, will it be missed?' And that's hard for me to always see. So, if you lot have suggestions on how I don't overwrite the ever-loving shit out of my chapter I'll be more than glad to hear you out.
And the last thing is from here on out, certain events from Season One won't really line up perfectly here. I mean, that's a given since this whole Fanfic is basically that but I just want to give you lot a heads-up that you shouldn't expect exact word to word or scene to scene copy here. Just something to keep in mind.
Now that's done, hope to see you all in the next chapter and have a not so cruddy day!
OUT!
