Within the depths of Hell, there was something many demons and inhabitants of this "Land of the Damned". It was a young boy. A human boy to be exact. It was Cody Laurent, a nine-year old child who tragically lost his parents in a house fire about four months ago.
Luckily, he was saved by a beautiful, yet at times mean hellhound, Loona. Without this young woman, Cody would have suffered the same fate as his poor parents.
This child has also been through so much since losing his parents including: meeting some hostile demons that tried to kill him, making new friends and going on crazy adventures with them in the process. Ultimately, he was adopted by Loona herself as her new little brother so he can be in good hands for the rest of his life, to make sure a child like him gets the happiness he needs. Not only that, but Cody got a girlfriend now, Misty, who is a Hellhound around his age, whom taking a liking to him before, and had the courage to properly ask him out on a date.
While many good things happened to him, there were some bad things that happened to Cody as well. For instance, he lost his own uncle and his band of badass bikers to an evil piece of shit named "Seymour Belmont" his town's very own Jim Jones, who was convinced Cody was the Antichrist just because he has hung out with demons so much, and believing that Cody was the one that caused the fire in the first place.
Of course that proved to be complete and utter bullshit. Nothing but fucking crazy balderdash! Fortunately that evil priest was killed and is now rotting down here in Hell, in Lucifer's very own pen, which was the eternal residence of the most evil people in history including: Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, King Leopold the second, Idi Amin, Mobutu Sese Seko, Fidel Castro, Kim Jong Il, Kim Il Sung, and others. Now, Belmont was down there too to endure many kinds of gruesome torture, along with his most closest followers that helped him in sacrificing Cody and killing the members of Heaven's Demons.
Cody was now living a happy life down here in Hell (believe it or not), and he was just sitting on the apartment balcony where he lives with Loona and Blitzo, listening to music on his earbuds.
the sounds of cars honking and some shoutings from angry bystanders and pedestrians were heard below the apartment building, which was pretty typical in a place like Hell. Despite how dangerous it was, Cody can always rely on his new big sister to protect him from any danger.
Who knows what kind of dangers there will be next in Cody's new life? There could be things even more dangerous than a crazy pious preacher who believed that this boy was the doombringer of all mankind.
"Cody?" Loona came out to see him on the porch to probably check on him. "Everything ok out here, kiddo?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, Loona. But I need advice." Cody replied. "I felt like my first date with Misty didn't go so well."
Loona frowned. "What are you talking about she asked. "You guys had a blast at Red Robin."
"True, but i feel like me and Misty should go somewhere more special on a date to make it more like I do care about her."
"Come on, there's no need to be over the top in impressing her, buddy." Loona reassured him. "Just be yourself, that's all a girl ever wants. Take it from me, not a man. If someone like Blitzo tells you to be more macho for a girl, then don't. Take a look at how he and Verosika dated before, and he really screwed things up with her."
"I know." Cody rolled his eyes. "him maxing out her credit card limit and all that. It was really stupid of him to do."
"Stupid would be an understatement. Never use someone else' credit card."
"But you used Mr. Belmont's credit card before after he got killed." Cody pointed out
"That's different." Loona said. "He tried to have you killed and... he's fucking crazy!"
"Fair enough."
"But hey, he's burning down here in the torture chambers where he belongs." Loona smiled and patted the kids' head. "After all he had done, Belmont will know the true meaning of pain and suffering."
The boy remembered something and his eyes widened. "You know what, i just remembered. I got to convince many of his followers that I wasn't the Antichrist." he pulled out his cross from his back pocket. "with this."
The female hellhound looked uncertain of this. "Honestly," she said, "why bother with those fucks? they have earned their place down here in my opinion."
"Not all of them." Cody pointed. "Many of them are kids in my school that were probably brainwashed by their parents or forced to do all that bad stuff. Besides, they were probably scared. Like my grandpa always said: fear and paranoia makes people do evil things."
"Fair enough. Many evil dictators throughout history had fear and paranoia, and many people died because of it. But if you really want to do this, then ok. But i better come with you just in case something goes wrong."
"That's fine. Charlie's going to be with me too. She said she might put some of them in her hotel."
"Don't know what good that will do, but whatever. She's Lucifer's daughter, and it's her call. Besides, i am practically powerless against the princess of this domain." the female hellhound rolled her eyes. Then Blitzo' bedroom door flew open with... a dead wolf in his arms.
"Time to feed them animals some good shit." said the imp and he put one of his hands behind the wolfs' head and began moving it like a puppet. "Yeah, time for me to die a fucking horrible death... again!" he added in a high-pitched voice. "Feed me before i get rabies and bite everyone around you!"
"Oh shut up, Blitzo!" Loona slapped him in the back of the head, looking angry as usual
"What? Just trying to have some fun."
"since when is using a dead animal as a puppet ever fun?!"
"It's fun for me."
Loona facepalmed herself and let out an annoyed sigh. "Blitzo... what the fuck is wrong with you?"
The imp looked to and fro at his surroundings. "...everything." was all he said, making Loona looked more annoyed than ever. "I wonder what is going on in that freaky head of yours."
"I could tell you Loony, but it might scar you for life. And i don't want to ruin your happiness."
All of this talk was just making Loona want to strangle the life out of Blitzo so he can shut up forever. Alas, she only refused to do so just because Cody is with her, and he is Blitzo friend as well. "You disgust me sometimes."
"Yeah, i know." the imp bowed his head.
"Chop probably needs some food too." Cody remembered. "I'll get the chow for him." the three of them walked out of the apartment and wenrt to the new pen behind the building with the food in hand, and Chop, the demon pig, was very happy to see Cody as usual, and wagged his tail as he saw him like a dog would do. For Chop was Cody's pig and he was always happy to see him, and Bombproof, the horse that used to belong to Striker the mercenary, who is now Blitzo' own pet. And since Blitzo has quite an affinity for horses, he was more than oblidged to be given the demon horse by Stolas as a present.
The imp ran up to the pen and hugged the demon animal like his oversized teddy bear, and let out a "squee" sound from him. "Hello, my big badass baby!" he said as he let go of Bombproof. "Did you sleep well last night, big boy?" then Bombproof snorted a brief wave of fire on him, cooking him to a crisp. "Don't worry, that means he loves me!" then he collapsed on the ground
Loona couldn't help but snicker at what happened to her adopted father getting hurt... as usual.
The three of them entered the pen and Chop began snuggling against his rider and he even accidentally knocked him on his ass, and it gave the large demon pig the perfect chance to walk up to him and lick Cody, all over his face like a dog would do, and even positioned himself on top of him so the boy wouldn't be able to escape his playful grasp. Loona even recorded the moment on her phone to see Cody get some piggy kisses like that.
"Get off!" Cody laugh. "Come on, Chop! Get off me!"
At last, when Loona decided that was enough recording this wholesome moment or taking pictures of it, Loona had to push the large demon pig off of her adopted. "Shoo, get off!" she said. "Give him some space."
Despite being off the kid now, Chop still wanted Cody to pet him and give him some attention, for he seemed needy. At last, when the animals were fed, Cody gave Chop an apple to his pig as a treat, and Blitzo also gave Bombproof a treat, which was a human skull. "Yes, that's a good Bombshell." the imp began baby-talking to the horse demon. "Wanna go for a little stroll later, Bomby?"
The horse let out a demonic whinny, for if there was one thing he loved more than eating flesh and meat, it was going out for a nice walk or run.
As soon as they were all done feeding the animals, Cody was approached by the princess of Hell herself, Charlie Morningstar. "Good morning, Cody." she sang. "Ready for the convincing?"
"Yep. I'm ready." he pulled out his cross, making his demon friends yelp and stand back in fear of this holy object.
"Watch where you point that." Charlie said.
"Sorry." then he put his tool away.
"Hold on princess, i'm coming with him." said Loona. "I am his legal guardian."
"Of course. The more the merrier."
The female hellhound just cringed at the princess' usual politeness and crossed her arms.
Cody was a little nervous to come back to Lucifer's own palace, but he needed to save these deranged people from the influence of Belmont, and save those who were guilty about trying to help Belmont in killing him. He was then greeted by the King of all Hell, looking as enthusiastic as ever. "Ah, here is the boy of the hour." he greeted the human kid. "Just in time to meet your greatest enemy."
"Look, i... I don't want to stay here for a very long time." Cody admitted. "You might be torturing these people in ways i don't want to find out, and i want to help those people understand that I am not the Antichrist."
"Oh ho, they are indescribable alright. Many men are having their testicles and dicks drilled by power drills with lots of blood." Lucifer pointed. "And women having their titties suffer the same with the power drills, and then they all have lava poured all over their dicks and pussies."
"Dad!" Charlie scolded. "He said he didn't want to know."
"Ha! That's hilarious." Blitzo chuckled. Figures a guy like him would find this funny.
"Belmont is still suffering from Fred, as you wanted him to do," Lucifer pointed, "and..." he looked at his daughter, who was giving him a disapproving look on her adorable face. "I could go on and on about more brutal and inhumane torture on modern day Jim Jones, but i don't want my own girl to tear my own head off. Anywho, come on in." he escorted everyone inside his lovely palace and there were so many ducks in it. Both real ducks and rubber ducks.
"So, why do you like ducks so much, your highness?" Cody couldn't help but ask the king
"Well... there is just something about them i love so much. As for rubber ducks, come on. How can anyone not find them cute?" Lucifer pulled out one of his toys from his collection. "Take a look at Sir Quacks-a-lot here." this one had a black top hat and some sunglasses while wearing a black tuxedo. "Isn't he the cutest?"
"Uhhh, yeah. I guess." Cody said, looking a little uncomfortable.
"Oh come on, kid." Lucifer narrowed his eyes. "Charlie told me that you have a stuffed pig named Patrick where you live."
"I wasn't judging you." Cody said.
"I didn't say you were judging me, Cody."
As soon as everyone got in the elevator, Lucifer pressed the button that said: "The Suffer chambers."
"Now you might want to hold on to something." Lucifer politely said. "Keep your arms and legs inside the elevator at all times." then he grabbed one of the handles.
"Guys, you might want to hang on to the rails." Charlie warned everyone. Everyone didn't know exactly know what was going on here, but they just grabbed the rails anyway, and the elevator began falling at an incredibly fast speed. It was so fast that Cody felt himself being pulled by the gravity and motion of this elevator. Good thing he and everyone else is hanging to the rails, otherwise they would be on the ceiling right now.
It took about thirty seconds but when the elevator hit the lowest level, everyone dropped on the elevator floor, making their teeth jiggle on impact. It was like they landed on Jupiter, despite being a gas planet. "Fuck i love this thing." Lucifer smiled.
A "ding" sound was heard above everyone and the elevator door slowly opened. The sound of cries of agony and pain and suffering were heard all around them. Men, and women alike were screaming for their lives and for mercy, begging for Jesus to come and save them. This place was built like a large super-max prison and the atmosphere was hot, almost like they were in the middle of the Sahara desert or Australian Outback, or the always-hot ghost town in Ethiopia called Dallol.
There were many kinds of demons in this place, and a few tubs or cauldrons filled with either hot grease, cooking oil, lemon juice, or even lava with lots of tormented souls who committed evil things and refused to repent.
Cody gulped, knowing that he did not want to stay long in this horrid place. The boy almost felt like fainting from this, but nevertheless, he wanted to help many people understand that he was not the doombringer of mankind, for he had his cross ready as evidence.
"let's make this quick." said Tex. "The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can get out of here."
"So, where are the people from my town?"
"Follow me." Lucifer said.
Not wanting to hear the screams of these people anymore, the boy put on some noise-cancelling earphones so it wouldn't be so... unbearable. Looking at many cells and rooms, he saw a man being bound by rope, laying on a board, right on his belly, and having a cheese grater pressed against his back over and over again by a couple of imps, and lots of blood spilling. Another imp was pouring lemon juice on the wounds, making him scream and squirm over and over again
In another cell, Cody was looking at a woman being naked and having lava poured on her breasts and in her... other vulnerable part, making her cry, scream, and squirm around with tears going down her face.
"Don't try to look at them, ok kiddo?" Loona said. "Don't want to scar you for life."
"OK Loona. So where's Belmont?"
"We're getting there." Lucifer smiled. "And i'm sure he's dying to see you."
It was a long walk, but there he was, the crazy preacher who looks malnourished and dehydrated, looking like he had lost his sanity, and the sound of Fred screaming and emitting his infamous chipmunk voice.
Not only that, but there were some bruises and scratches on Belmont after all the rightful suffering he had been through, and when he saw Cody, he gasped with his eyes wide and lumbered over to him on the other side of his cell.
"You!!" He exclaimed. "You dare show your demonic face here after all you have done?!" He grabbed one hand on a me of the handle bars of his door. "Thanks to you, all of humanity is doomed by your evil sorcery!"
"Oh will you shut the fuck to, Jim Jones?!" Loona snarled. "I'm getting so tired of your preaching."
"Now now, my friends." Lucifer said. "Belmont, Cody has something he wants to say to you."
Belmont just raised one eyebrow and looked at Cody, just waiting to see what he had to say.
"Look, I'm not the Antichrist," Cody said. "What is it going to take for you to see I am not?"
"Nothing." Belmont flatly said. "There is nothing you can do or say that can convince me otherwise."
"Not even this?" Cody asked, pulling out his cross.
The damned soul was taken aback and surprised by what the kid had shown him. His jaw mildly dropped and looked back at the kid, and then at the cross. Surprisingly, he gave a "pfft!" Sound from him, and then he addressed. "That cannot be a real cross."
"Oh come on!" said Blitzo. "Are you fucking kidding me?!"
"That is not a true cross you blasphemous bastards. One day, God will rise and deal away with you all for your treachery!"
looks like Cody couldn't get through to Belmont, no matter what he did. "But it is a cross!" He begged. "And Antichrist would never hold a cross, right?"
"Ah, but he is so powerful even he can deceive the most holy of angels."
"Look, let's just leave him alone." Loona said. "You can't convince some people that their hair's on fire."
"I hate to break it to you, but... she's right, Cody." Moxxie pointed. "Can't believe just said that."
