Hi ther, here you have Chapter 7. I hope you enjoy the Chapter. As for the reviews, I want to say, that I thank everyone who writes something and I will try impliment ideas to the best of my ability.
Furthermore, one comment peaked my Interest.
Bella: You said tht I should not go against the show with the whole Story of Hell thing. I assume you mean my iteration of the political landscape and why the Overlords are powerful.
A: It was never my intention to write something wildly differnt, as I just embellished the story in parts in which I found it lacking. In the show, we only hear that the Overords are really powerful sinners, and that they basically own a certain Export in Hell (e.g. Carmines Firearms, or Alastors Radio Broadcast). I used some information for Missi that was written on the Wikipedia entry on Journey to the light, and I did not any refernce to what makes Rosie an Overlord, and since she is a Cannibal, it was logical for me to assume that she was responsible for the food distribution in Hell. As for Roy, he is the Flaming Skull Overlord that as of right now has no name. The name can still change in the future should he get one in the show.
Still, I thank you for your comment, and hope you continue to read this story.
Velvette was not having the best of days today. Since early in the morning, Val was bitching around about how Angel Dust would stay at this fucking "Hazbin Hotel". It took all of her and Voxes effort to stop Val from storming over there and shoot the place up. Personally, she did not know why he was moaning about the hotel all the time. It would not be that bad, if Vox did not learn that the Hotel was co-owned by his Arch-Nemesis, Alastor.
Sure, the whole redemption thing sounded a silly, and you could clearly tell that the spoiled little princess had no idea what she was doing, but that was hardly a reason to actively wanting to kill her. Also, since Charlie started the Hotel, the Vees did not need to pay Angels apartment anymore, which was a win in her books. Not only that, but they also got rid of that stupid snake that wanted to join them.
What also irked Velvette was why Vox was so fixated on beating Alastor. She even told him after the stunt he pulled, that if he had followed his own advice, Alastor would be weaker than he is currently. Of course, Vox did not take her serious, why should he, he was the leader after all, and she was just one of his many "tools", as he liked to call some people.
This is the reason she was once again on her way to the Overlords meeting, alone. Vox was too busy looking for new ways to discredit Alastor, while Val was off to who knows where, probably doing drugs and fucking some of his stars. Yeah, sometimes she thinks she is the only one keeping the Vees from ruin with all the stuff she does around the HQ.
The problem with her current predicament was that she was somewhat dependent on Vox for her power. Oh, how she hated that Social Media Platforms are useless without the necessary technology to access the platforms. But if she made one wrong move with Vox, or Val to some extent, all her influence would vanish in a heartbeat, as Vox would simply cut her out of his tech.
Velvette arrived at the Overlords meeting, and quickly went up into the atrium. Last time, she only was late in order to make Carmilla think that she has no power over her. Vel of course knew that tardiness was not a very useful trait for an Overlord, so she was in a hurry and quickly went for the meeting room.
She slammed the door open, and was surprised to see none other than Charlie Morningstar, Princess of hell and owner of the Hazbin Hotel. Behind Charlie was Vaggie, and they were near the end of the table, near the regular seats of the Vees. All the Overlords were already seated and Carmilla gave Velvette an icy glance.
"Velvette, we are honored that you grace us with your presence, after the last meeting I was unsure you would come again." Carmilla said with disdain.
"Listen here bitch, I will not try to make a habit out of being late. It's bad enough that you fuckers decided to hold this shitty meeting today, when there are new trends to set. Oh wait, I forgot that no one here is even remotely up to date, so let's just get this over with, so I can concentrate on the important work." Vel said dismissively.
"Thou should'st be careful with thy manners today as thou see, we hast a guest of high standing today." Zestial said, motioning over towards Charlie.
Velvette just looked over to Charlie, quickly deciding that arguing would do more harm than good today. She would challenge the princess of Hell, if it was not for her father. Lucifer might not be active as a ruler of Hell, but she did not want to end up on the wrong side of a fallen Angel.
"Anyways, let us start now that the represent of the Vees finally arrived" Carmilla said as she projected some charts of the current population of sinners on the wall behind her.
"As you can see, in two weeks the Extermination will strike, we need to prepare for the worst. With how the last extermination ended, we are looking at a 30% casualty rate of the population. Does anyone have an idea on how to stop this invasion?" Carmilla asked into the room.
The Overlords were thinking, well, all except for Alastor, as he knew of Charlies plan, and surprisingly Velvette, who had a smug face again. Charlie wanted to share her idea, but one subtle glance from Alastor told her to wait for a few minutes.
"Maybe you should consider my plan again, ya hag!" Velvette just threw at Carmilla, who ignored this statement.
"An direct attack towards the angelic forces would issue 'i too many casualties, so would we fight, it hath to be a defensive broil" Zestial said, throwing an annoyed glance towards the Influencer Demon.
Charlie was the next to speak. "Uhmm, excuse me dear Overlords, but I might have a solution to this problem." she said, albeit a bit hesitantly.
"Recently, through my father's lingering influence in heaven, I had the honor to make a case to Echelon of Angels about my idea to rehabilitate sinners. I was shot down, but in the meantime, I gained a valuable contact in the court of the Seraphim"
Now it was the Overlords time to be speechless. While most of them expected Charlie to wield significant political power, not a single one of them expected her to have contacts in heaven. Sure, they know for a fact that the Morningstars had the backing of all the sins, but to also have the backing of a Seraphim?
"And how do we know that this Information you gained is not planted, so we go into combat and get fucken obliterated?" Velvette asked, not buying the fact that Charlie had so much influence.
"Comes from the person who wanted to wage war against the Exterminators based on one dead Angel!" comes from Missi, laughing internally at Vel.
"I had this information confirmed by my father, Lucifer Morningstar, if that is prove enough!" Charlie shot back, shutting Velvette up. "The weakness to Angels is in fact their own weapons. Angels can only be killed by Angelic Steel."
The room went silent. Both Clara and Odette looked towards Carmilla, as if asking her on how to proceed with the meeting. The other Overlords, minus Alastor and Velvette were thinking about who slew the Angel from the last meeting. Alastor just leaned back, content with how the meeting was proceeding. Velvette on the other hand just looked dumbfounded for a few seconds before starting to laugh.
"I cannot believe it, you old hag. Did you actually kill that Angel during the last extermination?"
Carmilla was now in a right twist. Here she thought that she could keep this information secret, but by sheer coincident, her secret was revealed. She just stood up and walked towards Charlie. Before she could reach her though, Vaggie put herself between them, spear raised and ready to attack.
"Please call your guardian Angel off, I just wish to speak." Carmilla said calmly, yet with authority.
A cold sweat ran down Charlies and Vaggies back, as all eyes now were laying on Vaggie. She lowered her spear slightly, before stepping to the side, still a shocked expression on her face.
"I just want to know, what it is you and your Ex-Exterminator guard want from this council. Because if your answer not to my satisfaction, I will make sure that you regret setting foot into this room."
"All that I wanted to ask for is that the Overlords will support me in the defense of the Hotel. The head of the Exterminators, Adam, made sure to inform me that he will focus solely on the Hotel until no one there is alive anymore." Charlie pleaded.
Surprisingly Velvette did not push for this option immediately, as there was a conflict of interest. As a represent of the Vees, she had to make sure all of them were content with the vote she was giving. While she wanted to kill the Exterminators, Vox would not be thrilled about this situation, as i would mean working together with Alastor. Lastly there was Val, who was pissed at Charlie for ruining her studio, and also taking Angel off the streets.
"Well, this could work, yet say to me, where doth thou resolve to get an power to repel this attack?" Zestial enquired.
"Well, me and Charlie can convince the people of the Cannibal colony to lend their strength for this battle, but only if Carmilla agrees to send the necessary number of angelic weapons to equip them." Rosie suggested.
"That sounds like a fair deal, but you will need someone to train you, and I am a busy person and cannot train an entire army by myself" Carmilla said.
"Excuse me, Miss Carmine, but if you would allow it, I would be willing to learn how to defeat Angels, in order to teach it to the defenders." Vaggie said with determination.
"And why should I trust an former Exterminator with this knowledge?" Carmilla questioned her.
"If you do not trust me, we can make a deal after this meeting, so you see how serious I am" Vaggie said after a little bit of thinking.
Carmilla was in thought, before finally agreeing to her terms. Zestial agreed to oversee the whole defense, in order to find out if this was really a good plan.
Finally, there was Velvette. "I need to bring this whole shitshow up to Val and Vox, but if they agree, we will send you some of Voxes tech to aid you."
Charlie was glad that this meeting went so smoothly "I thank all of you for your support. If there is something Ican do for any of you, then please come to the Hazbin Hotel, I will try to see your request fulfilled."
"Good, it would seem this meeting is now dismissed, does everyone agree?" After all the Overlords agreed, they said their goodbyes and left the room, with only Vaggie and Carmilla staying behind.
"So, now tell me how you want to convince me to train you" Carmilla asked, a threatening undertone in her voice.
