The scene opens on M'n'M's place as Lincoln is doing some push-ups in his room with Minnie sitting on his back. Minnie coos as she crawls up her brother's back and onto his head. She ends up almost falling off his head, but Lincoln instinctively catches her with his tail.
Lincoln: *smiles* That's why I told you to stay still, you little rascal.
Minnie giggles as Lincoln picks her up and stands up, kissing her forehead. Suddenly, his phone goes off. He picks it up and answers it.
Lincoln: Hello?
Charlie: *on the phone* Hey, Lincoln! You mind coming in today? If you're too busy, I understand.
Lincoln: Nah, it's alright, Charlie. I took the day off from I.M.P. anyway. Yeah, I can come in.
Charlie: *happy, on the phone* Great! See you then!
Charlie then hangs up as Lincoln then sets Minnie on his bed, then enters his closet to change.
Minnie: *tilts her head* Winky?
Lincoln: *off-screen as rustling sounds are heard* That was a friend of mine, Minnie. Her name's Charlie, and she's the Princess of Hell.
Minnie: Pwincess? Wike Via?
Lincoln: *off-screen* Sort of, but on a grander scale. Anyway, Charlie runs a hotel that's all about rehabilitating Sinners, like our clients at I.M.P., y'know?
Minnie: *nods* Yah.
Lincoln: *off-screen* Well, Charlie wants to redeem Sinners so that they can enter Heaven and be safe from… *walks out, dressed in his Hazbin Hotel attire* … well, you're too young to know about that. We'll tell you when you're older.
Lincoln reaches for his phone and is about to call someone so they can babysit Minnie… but then an idea comes to mind.
Lincoln: Y'know what… why don't I bring you with me, Minnie? *picks her up* I'm sure Charlie wouldn't mind. Besides, you and I haven't had some quality sibling time.
Minnie: *giggles* Winky!
Lincoln: *smiles* I'll take that as a yes.
It fades to the Hazbin Hotel as Niffty is scrubbing a stain out of the carpet frantically and with a manic look on her face.
Niffty: Die, stains! *laughs*
That's when the front door opens and Lincoln walks in, with Minnie on his shoulder.
Lincoln: *sees Niffty* Hey, Niff.
Niffty: *sees Lincoln* Hi, Lincoln! *sees Minnie and gasps* You brought Minnie!
Minnie coos as she looks around the new environment.
Lincoln: Yeah, I figured she and I could use some sibling time. *kneels down and holds Minnie up to Niffty* Minnie, this is Niffty. She's a friend of mine.
Minnie: *coos and giggles* Hi.
Niffty: *giggles* Aw, hi!
She playfully pinches Minnie's cheek as the baby Imp giggles. Lincoln then stands up as Minnie looks to the bar and sees Husk cleaning some glasses.
Minnie: *points to Husk* Kitty.
Lincoln: Hm? *he looks where Minnie is pointing and sees Husk* Oh, that's Husk. He's the bartender.
Husk: *glances up* Hey, kid. *sees Minnie* Huh, didn't realize you were on babysitting duty today.
Lincoln: Nah, I chose to bring her in. This is Minnie.
Minnie babbles and reaches for Husk's wings. Husk just rolls his eyes and unfolds one of his wings, holding it out for Minnie as Lincoln sets her on the counter. She coos and grabs it, then nuzzles it as she laughs, which Husk can't help but smile at.
Lincoln: Yeah, she enjoys soft stuff. Fur, feathers, you name it.
Husk: Keep her away from Angel. Lord knows what that freak's covered in.
Lincoln: It's not Angel I'm worried about. It's that smiling dipshit. He's the last person I want Minnie around.
Husk: I don't blame ya, kid.
Charlie, Vaggie, Lori and Leni enter the room.
Charlie: Lincoln, hi!
Lincoln: *looks and smiles* Hey, Charlie.
Charlie: *hugs him* Thanks for coming in, Lincoln!
Lincoln: *smiles* Hey, anything to help a friend out.
Vaggie then notices Minnie playing with Husk's wing.
Vaggie: You brought your baby sister?
Charlie's head immediately snaps in Minnie's direction, her eyes wide. Minnie notices Charlie and Vaggie and waves at them as she giggles. Charlie squeals and picks Minnie up.
Charlie: *nuzzling her* Awww, she's just as adorable as when she was born! Maybe even more!
Minnie giggles and hugs Charlie back.
Lincoln: … I honestly forgot this is how Charlie gets when around adorable things.
Vaggie: I've been dealing with it for years, and I'm not complaining.
Charlie: *holds Minnie up to Vaggie* Vaggie, look at this adorable little thing!
Vaggie: *looks between Minnie and Charlie for a moment, then looks at Charlie* Which one?
Charlie goes as red as her suit as Lincoln laughs and Husk chuckles.
Lincoln: Smooth one, Vaggie.
Vaggie chuckles and takes Minnie from the still blushing Charlie.
Vaggie: To be honest, I'm not exactly the best with kids and babies… I don't even know how to hold them.
Lincoln: Here, like this.
He positions Minnie in Vaggie's arms the way babies are normally held.
Lincoln: There you go.
Minnie looks up and Vaggie and giggles.
Minnie: Aggy! *reaches for her hair*
Vaggie: *surprised* Did she just…?
Lincoln: Yeah, she's talking a lot. She's a pretty fast learner.
Vaggie looks at Minnie, who was playing with her hair. Vaggie smiles and tickles Minnie's cheek, making her giggle.
Lincoln: *smirks* "Not the best with kids" my ass.
Charlie: He's right, Vaggie! You already look like an amazing mom!
Vaggie goes as red as her eyepatch at that implication.
Vaggie: Oooookay, let's not get ahead of ourselves. *hands Minnie back to Lincoln*
Lincoln: What, you and Charlie still taking things slow? *smirks* Or are you planning to propose soon?
Now Charlie was just as red as Vaggie.
Vaggie: *getting annoyed as Lincoln laughs* LINCOLN!
Lincoln: *laughs* Hey, I'm just asking! But if you don't wanna answer, that's fine. *to Lori and Leni* Minnie, say hi to Lori and Leni.
Minnie: *coos and waves* Hi!
Leni: She's soooooo cute!
Lori: *chuckles* She literally is. *tickles Minnie's cheek*
Lincoln: I'm gonna give Minnie a tour of the hotel real quick. *turns and starts to walk off with Minnie, speaking to Charlie and Vaggie* See you later, future brides!
Vaggie scowls as she and Charlie go even MORE red, while Husk just smirks and goes back to cleaning, while Lori and Leni laugh.
Cut to the halls of the hotel as Lincoln carries Minnie through them. Minnie babbles at the surrounding area, when Jackson and Sophia walk on-screen.
Jackson: *sees Lincoln* Oh, hey, kid.
Lincoln: Hey, guys.
Sophia: When'd you get- *sees Minnie and gasps as her eyes sparkle*
Jackson: Oh boy.
Minnie coos as she tilts her head, looking at Sophia, who was gushing over the baby Imp.
Sophia: *gushing* Who is this little sweetie?!
Lincoln: This is Minnie, my baby sister. *holds her up* Wanna hold-?
Sophia immediately grabs Minnie, holding her like a mother would her own baby.
Sophia: *gushing* Aren't you just the cutest little thing?!
She tickles Minnie's cheek, making her giggle.
Sophia: *looks at her boyfriend* Jackson, you wanna hold her?
Jackson: I would, but… *points to his spiked arms* … these ain't exactly child-safe.
Lincoln: Yeah, I'd prefer my baby sister not get hurt.
Lincoln suddenly freezes angrily.
Lincoln: Which is why I'm keeping her away from you, Radio Dickbag.
Alastor: *appears from Lincoln's shadow* Well pardon me, Lincoln, but I couldn't help but notice how you brought in this little one.
He leans in, looking directly at Minnie. Minnie, disturbed by his grin, buries her face in Sophia's chest. Lincoln snarls and shoves Alastor back.
Lincoln: *snarling* Keep your fucking distance, asshole.
Alastor: *grins as his eyes turn to radio dials* Or what, mutt?
Lincoln's fist suddenly stops an inch from hitting Alastor right in his face, emitting a shockwave that shakes the hall for a moment and cracks Alastor's monocle. Lincoln then turns and picks up Minnie from Sophia.
Lincoln: *turns to Alastor, snarling* You try anything to my baby sister, and you're gonna end up much… MUCH WORSE… than when you died.
Lincoln turns and storms off with Minnie as Alastor just stares, still grinning as he does. When they get out of his sight, Lincoln gently rocks Minnie.
Lincoln: Hey, it's okay. The creepy bastard's gone.
Minnie peeks her head up from Lincoln's chest as he smiles at her.
Angel Dust: *off-screen* Aww, ya brought your sister.
Lincoln looks and sees Angel Dust.
Lincoln: Heh, yeah. Figured Charlie wouldn't mind.
Minnie coos as she sees how fluffy Angel Dust looks and reaches for him. Lincoln holds Minnie up towards him.
Lincoln: Minnie, this is Angel Dust. He's one of the guests at the hotel.
Angel Dust: *picks Minnie up* Hey there, lil' sweetie. You wanna see something cute?
Minnie tilts her head as Angel Dust and Lincoln walk down the hall towards Angel's room.
Lincoln: Your room's clean of your… stuff, right?
Angel Dust: Yeah, I ain't a fuckin' slob.
They enter Angel's room, as Angel's pet pig, Fat Nuggets, looks up.
Angel Dust: Oh, Nuggsie! Daddy found ya a little friend!
Fat Nuggets oinks curiously as Angel sets Minnie on the bed. Minnie gasps and coos as she crawls over to Fat Nuggets, who sniffs her a moment. Then Fat Nuggets licks her cheek, making the baby Imp laugh before she hugs the pig.
Lincoln: Huh. Didn't you know you had a pet Hellpig.
Angel Dust: Heh, yeah. His name's Fat Nuggets, and he's the sweetest thing.
A small figure walks into the room, suddenly hopping on the bed. It was KeeKee, who curiously looked at Minnie. Razzle and Dazzle peek into the room as well and fly in, curiously staring at Minnie as they tilt their heads. Minnie sees the other three pets and coos as Razzle and Dazzle land next to KeeKee. KeeKee walks up to Minnie, curiously staring at her.
Minnie: *smiles* Kitty!
She pets KeeKee on the head, causing her to purr.
Angel Dust: *looks at Lincoln* I think ya found a way to keep her entertained while you work.
Lincoln: *chuckles* For real.
It fades to later in the day as Minnie is waddling around the hotel with KeeKee, Fat Nuggets, and Razzle and Dazzle. Suddenly, the baby notices a broken window, making her gasp. As Razzle and Dazzle clean up the glass shards, Minnie pulls herself onto the window sill and peeks out, noticing a cockroach-like demon scurrying off from the site.
Minnie: *the pets peek up next to her as she gasps in worry* Uh oh!
Minnie drops down and babbles to the pets, as if talking to them. When she's done, they nod, then run off to look for Lincoln, Charlie, or anyone else. Minnie could tell whoever that random demon was meant trouble, so she had to warn the others.
Cut to Lincoln walking out of a hotel room with Niffty, holding a small cage full of bed bugs.
Lincoln: Alright, Niffty. Here's all the bed bugs I could find under the bed.
Niffty: *giddy* Thank you! *takes the cage*
Lincoln: I don't even want to know what you're gonna do with them, so have fun.
Niffty: I will! *zips off*
Lincoln: *shakes his head* There's somethin' up with that girl...
KeeKee, Fat Nuggets, and Razzle and Dazzle suddenly run on-screen and tackle Lincoln to the ground, making him yelp.
Lincoln: *grunts* Hey! What the hell?! *he sits up and sees the pets before him, looking worried* Oh, hey, you guys. What's up?
Fat Nuggets oinks and gestures in the direction they came. Razzle and Dazzle, since they can't speak, start acting out what they're trying to tell Lincoln. Lincoln watches the pets and starts to piece it together.
Lincoln: You're saying... Minnie saw someone vandalizing or attacking the hotel?
The pets nod and run off back in the direction, as Lincoln goes after them and finds Minnie by the broken window.
Minnie: *sees her big brother* Winky!
Lincoln: Minnie! *picks her up* Did you see who did this?
Minnie: *coos and points at the window* Woach.
Lincoln: A roach? *Minnie nods as Lincoln looks out the window* Must've been another Sinner that thinks this hotel is a joke. *scoffs* Assholes.
Minnie: Chawie?
Lincoln: *nods* You're right, Minnie. Charlie needs to know.
Cut to the inside of Charlie's room where the pets barge inside. Lincoln and Minnie follow suit.
Lincoln: Hey, Charlie. We need... *trails off at the sight of something* ...Oh.
Cut behind Lincoln to witness what he sees: Charlie and Vaggie, cuddled against each other while sleeping in their bed. Turns out when Lincoln embarrassed Charlie and Vaggie earlier, they needed to calm down, and sleeping together (not THAT way) was the way to do it.
Minnie: Oh.
Lincoln guides the pets out of the room, closing the door behind them without waking the lovebirds.
Lincoln: Okay, guess we'll have to do this without them.
Minnie: *babbles* Note?
Lincoln: *nods* Smart, Min. I better leave a note for them when they wake.
Quietly opening the door back up, Lincoln tapes a note on the inside of the door before closing it again.
Lincoln: *to Minnie and the pets* Alright, let's go.
They go off to figure out what happened and who was that roach demon, and tell anyone else they can.
Cut to outside the hotel where Lincoln, Minnie and the pets peek out from the corner, noticing the broken window, and the shattered pieces of glass on the ground.
Lincoln: There's the vandalism spot.
They walk up to the shards of broken glass. Razzle and Dazzle start sniffing around as KeeKee takes the pieces of glass away.
Lincoln: *looks around* Where'd that slippery fucker go...?
Fat Nuggets notices something on the ground and oinks, catching everyone's attention. He waddles over and sniffs the ground, revealing a trail of footprints.
Lincoln: Footprints! Good find, Fat Nuggets!
Fat Nuggets smiles and oinks as Lincoln pats his head.
Lincoln: Let's follow them.
Lincoln, Minnie and the pets begin to trail the footsteps off-screen. Fade to an alleyway, where the footprints lead inside. The group walks on-screen and stops at the alley entrance.
Lincoln: *sighs* An alley. Nothing good can come from this.
Minnie shudders a bit and holds onto her big brother. Suddenly, they hear a voice coming from the alley way and duck out of sight.
Female Voice: *in the alleyway, sounding annoyed* You only broke one window?! Jeez, no wonder your wife killed you, Jarold!
Lincoln's eyes went wide as he heard that voice. It had been two years since he had heard it, but it was as clear as day. He never forgot the psycho bitch that had shot his leg on his father's first mission... Jennifer.
Lincoln: *holding back his growls as his whispers* Her…?!
He, Minnie and the pets peek in and see the cockroach-like Sinner man arguing with a hyena-like Sinner woman.
Jarold: *also annoyed* Oh, shut the fuck up! You'd get caught if you went in guns blazing like an idiot!
Jennifer: *annoyed* What, you scared of pissing off the Princess of Hell?! That bitch literally barfs rainbows and is always so happy and shit! It's impossible to piss her off!
Jarold: *annoyed* But it is possible to piss of the fucking Radio Demon! You've been here longer than me! You should know this!
Minnie: *quietly as Jennifer and Jarold continue arguing* Who they?
Lincoln: *whispers angrily* One of them's a bitch that shot my leg on our dad's first mission.
Minnie: *quietly gasps* She huwt Winky?!
Lincoln: *whispers, calming down* Yeah, but Dad shot her and killed her. The other guy... his name sounds familiar, but I don't know why.
He thinks back to where he could have heard that name, and suddenly his eyes widen. He remembers Sophia venting and raging about someone named Jarold, who was her ex-husband that she killed when she caught him cheating.
Lincoln: *whispers* That's Sophia's ex-husband! He and Jennifer must be looking for revenge on Sophia and Jackson!
Cut to Jennifer and Jarold panting from the heated argument that just wrapped up.
Jennifer: *gains her breath* Fine, fine... let's calm down.
Jarold: *sighs* So then, what do we do now?
Jennifer: What we need is some more firepower. From what I know, the Radio Demon will hardly give us the time of day if he's not bothered, so we just focus on avoiding him when we attack.
Jarold: You sure it'll work?
Jennifer: What, do you have a better idea? *Jarold says nothing* Exactly.
That was enough for Lincoln to hear, as he then scooped up Minnie and the pets and ran back to the hotel.
Lincoln: *panting* We gotta warn everyone about this!
At the same time, we cut to Charlie and Vaggie still sleeping together until the Princess of Hell is the first to wake up. Yawning and rubbing her eyes and noticing Vaggie still asleep, she smiles and gently kisses her forehead before getting up from the bed, fitting her jacket back on, and approaches the door with another yawn before noticing Lincoln's note on the door.
Charlie: Hm...? *stretches* When did we get a note?
Charlie takes the note and reads it.
Charlie: *reading* "Hey lovebirds, Minnie noticed someone vandalizing the hotel, so we're going to take care of it/figure out what their deal is. From, Lincoln."
She gawks at the sound of vandalism.
Charlie: *starts to panic* Oh nonononono! No one wants to come to a vandalized hotel. *thinks for a moment* Except for some perverts or creeps or… *shakes the thoughts off* Urgh, stop that, Charlie! You gotta tell the others!
Swinging the door wide open, Charlie runs out of her room, the door hitting the wall and waking up Vaggie. Cut to the lobby where the employees were hard at work and the guests were relaxing and chatting with them. It was at that moment when Lincoln, Minnie, the pets and Charlie all came bursting in.
Charlie and Lincoln: *At the same time* Guys! We have a big problem!
The whole lobby was startled by Lincoln and Charlie. Husk spits his drink out, Angel falls off the couch, Niffty misses a bug she was trying to stab, and Alastor just calmly sips his coffee.
Husk: *wipes his lip* The fuck's goin' on?
Jackson: Seriously, way to startle the shit out of us.
Lincoln: Well it's fucking warranted! The hotel's gonna be under attack!
Charlie: It's true! Lincoln noted to me about a vandal! *starts to panic and talk faster* No one's going to come and redeem themselves at a hotel wreck! What if we can't-
Lincoln: *slaps a hand on Charlie's mouth, cutting her off* Charlie! Deep breaths.
Charlie starts to breathe slowly, just as Vaggie slogs into the lobby, yawning.
Vaggie: *rubbing her eye* The hotel's getting what now...?
Lincoln: Two assholes are planning to vandalize and attack the hotel. *looks at Sophia and Jackson* Probably as payback against those two.
Sophia and Jackson both look confused on what that could mean. They didn't have any enemies except... And that's when the realization hit as their eyes widened.
Jackson: *scowls* You don't mean...!
Sophia: *growls* Those two?!
Lincoln: *nods* Yep. The vandals are your exes.
Alastor: *smiles* Well, sounds like things are finally going to start getting-
Lincoln: Alastor, shut the fuck up.
Alastor: *still smiling* -interesting. *Lincoln growls in irritation*
Vaggie: *now wide awake* Hey, focus, you two. Lincoln, what else did you hear from them?
Lincoln: *sighs* Well, they said they need more firepower without getting Alastor involved.
Angel Dust: Think you could get us some help from your co-workers, kid?
Lincoln: No can do. I.M.P.'s swarmed with clients today. The only reason I didn't go in today was because Mom and Dad couldn't get a sitter for Minnie.
Jackson: So now what?
Lincoln: Well, first, we need to think about setting up a defense force. Course, our best options are me, Alastor, Vaggie, Lori and Leni. *notices Niffty grinning creepily at him* ...And probably Niffty.
Lori: Any idea when they're literally gonna get here?
Lincoln: They didn't say. I only heard them talking about them getting more firepower.
Charlie: Then we need to find out. *turns to Lincoln* Lincoln?
Lincoln: *nods* I'll report back with some findings.
Charlie: *smiles* Oh, good. *pans over to Niffty* And take Niffty with you.
Niffty: *grins widely* Yay!
Lincoln: *raises an eyebrow* …Okay. *snatches Niffty's knife* But no "stabby-stab" till I say.
Niffty pouts and crosses her arms in annoyance.
Lincoln: *rolls his eyes* The size of a toddler and acting like one.
Niffty responds by blowing a raspberry at Lincoln.
Lincoln: *grabs her arm with a sigh* Come on. *drags Niffty with him out of the hotel*
Vaggie: *glances at Charlie* Sure it's a good idea to let Niffty go with him?
Charlie: I'm sure Lincoln can keep her in check.
Cut to show Lincoln and Niffty heading back to the alleyway where Jennifer and Jarold were. The two weren't there, so Lincoln sniffs around to track their scents.
Lincoln: I should get their scent soon enough. *his nose scrunches up in disgust at the trash cans around* I mean, I would if all this damn trash wasn't around.
Niffty suddenly plops face-first to the ground, surprising Lincoln. A muffled noise came from her, which was the sound of sniffing.
Lincoln: *confused* Niffty, what are you doing?
Niffty: *lifts up her head* I smell a big bug. *stands up and points ahead* That way!
Niffty then bolts in that direction as Lincoln stares for a moment.
Lincoln: … Again, there is something up with that girl. *runs after Niffty*
It fades to a while later. Panning near some bushes, Niffty pokes her head out of one and looks around.
Niffty: *spots the target off-screen with a deranged grin* Bug! *Lincoln's head pops out a moment later*
Lincoln: *stunned* Well, whatta ya know...
Cut to show Jarold and Jennifer with a large crate of guns. Jennifer was loading some assault rifles, while Jarold was inspecting a rocket launcher. Lincoln holds Niffty back from attacking.
Lincoln: *whispers* Wait.
Jarold: *stunned* How the hell did you afford all of these?
Jennifer: *smirks* A contact at the black market gets you some sweet deals.
Jarold: Are they blessed like Carmilla Carmine's?
Jennifer: Sadly, no. That stoic bitch threw my contact out before he could get any of her weapons.
Lincoln: *whispers to himself* Sort of reassuring, I guess.
Jarold: *frowns* Damn.
Jennifer: Don't sweat it. These should still be enough to total that hotel.
Niffty: *her eye narrows in anger as she whispers* These two are gonna be a problem. *looks at Lincoln* Can I stab them now?
Lincoln: *pulls out Niffty's knife* Now more than ever, Niffty. *hands it to Niffty* Time for some stabby-stab.
Niffty takes the knife and grins like a psycho.
Lincoln: You take the giant bug, because I know you want to stab him. *pulls out his knife and pistol* I got my own personal beef with that hyena bitch.
Cut to Jennifer and Jarold loading all of their weapons into an armored truck.
Jennifer: *wipes off her hands* That's the last of them.
Jarold: *grins evilly* Then let's go give-
Niffty: *cuts off Jarold off-screen* STABBY-STAB! *blurs on-screen and tackles Jarold off-screen*
Jennifer: *startled* THE FUCK?!
Lincoln: *off-screen* Hey, bitch! *Jennifer looks over and sees Lincoln walking over* Recognize me?!
Jennifer blinks for a moment, but then it flashbacks to Moxxie's first mission where she shoots Lincoln in the leg, then duels with Millie before Moxxie kills her from behind.
Jennifer: *she scowls as the flashback ends* Oh. It's you. *takes out an assault rifles* Come for another shot in the leg?
Lincoln: Nah. *grins as his aura flares and his eyes flash* I came for some long overdue revenge.
Jennifer: Then prepare to be disappointed!
Jennifer opens fire on Lincoln, and the Hellhound avoids every shot before going for a swipe of the claw. She blocks the strike with her rifle before the two start to trade blows with each other.
Cut to show Niffty pinning Jarold down and trying to stab him as she laughs psychotically, but he frantically dodges each stab.
Jarold: Get the fuck off me, you psycho bitch! *kicks Niffty off of him*
Niffty goes crashing into a tree, but she simply gets back up and charges at Jarold once, causing him to run away from her.
Niffty: *swings her knife wildly* Stab! Stab! Stab, stab, stabby-stab!
Back to Lincoln and Jennifer, the fisticuffs now turning into a duel between knives. Their knives clash as Jennifer seems to hold an advantge once again, as she had Lincoln pinned against the truck.
Jennifer: *holding Lincoln back easily* What's wrong?! *takes another step closer as she grins like a psycho* Still just a weak little mutt?! *leans in closer* Maybe I'll pay that little shit mother of yours a visit after I skin you of your fur and make a-!
Lincoln grabs her head and slams it into the truck, making her dazed. Quickly regaining her senses, she goes for a stab at Lincoln, but he bites her wrist and rips her hand off, making her drop her knife. Jennifer screams in agony, but Lincoln cuts the scream short by slamming her head into the ground. He then does it again and again and again, splattering her blood across the pavement. He then lifts her head up and aggressively glares at her busted up face.
Lincoln: *flares into his Zodiac form* By the time I'm done with you, you will be unrecognizable. I won't stop until all that's left is a pile of bloody flesh, only fit to be food for the beasts of the Wrath Ring!
Niffty suddenly screams in pain, causing Lincoln to turn in her direction.
Lincoln: *concerned* Niffty?!
Cut to Niffty falling on her stomach, cringing from her own knife plunged into her back. Jarold had just gained an advantage over the maid by stabbing her knife deep into said back.
Jarold: *grins* Really thought a weak little bitch like you could stop me?! Ha!
He walks over to Niffty and turns her over, then pinning his foot against her legs, nearly breaking her ankles so she can't move.
Jarold: *pulls out his pistol, grinning* This is gonna hurt you a LOT more than you think. *points it right at Niffty's face*
Lincoln: NO!
Lincoln blitzes to Jarold, while ripping Jennifer's leg off as she screams in agony. Jarold turns around, only for Jennifer's ripped off leg to slam into his face and make him drop the pistol into Niffty's lap, while he's sent crashing back with his face smashed.
Lincoln: *throws the leg away* YOU STAY AWAY FROM HER!
He was unprepared for a missile to come striking onto his back. Thanks to his Zodiac form, he received no injuries, but the blast did blow him back. Cut to Jennifer holding a rocket launcher in her remaining hand.
Jennifer: *hisses* Dropped your guard, ya mutt... *yells* Jarold! We're outta here!
Jarold: *gets up while rubbing his bruised face* Fine by me!
Scrambling away from Lincoln and Niffty, Jarold picks up Jennifer and throws her and himself into the truck before driving them away at full speed.
Lincoln: *watches the truck drive away, slams a fist to the ground in anger* God DAMN IT! *gasps in realization* Niffty!
He runs over to Niffty and props her up gently.
Lincoln: *concerned* Niffty, are you okay?!
Niffty: *weakly* Pain... tickles... *lets out a puny giggle, but then coughs* Ow… okay… maybe not…
Lincoln: *picks her up* I gotta get you back to the hotel!
He pulls out his phone and calls Charlie, and she picks up.
Charlie: *on the phone* Lincoln! Is everything okay?!
Lincoln: Charlie! I need a portal to the hotel! Quick!
Charlie: *on the phone* O-Okay, give me a second!
A few seconds later, a golden portal opens right in front of Lincoln. The Hellhound carries Niffty through the portal and finds himself back in the hotel lobby, which was being fortified for the upcoming attack.
Charlie: *walks up to the two* Lincoln, what happened?!
Lincoln: *growls* We were kicking their asses, but they still got away, and are now heading here with a truck shitloaded with weapons! Not only that, *holds up the wounded Niffty* Niffty got hurt real bad!
Charlie: *horrified gasp* Oh my god!
Everyone drops what they're doing and rush over. Alastor's grin was wide, but his grip on his microphone cane… was tighter than it's ever been before.
Angel Dust: Holy fuck, what happened?!
Lincoln: Sophia's ex got her in the back with her own weapon!
Vaggie: *serious* Give her to me. I've treated injuries like this before.
Lincoln hands Niffty to Vaggie as she rushes to treat Niffty's wound. That's when a vehicle was heard pulling up outside and made everyone except Vaggie freeze.
Lincoln: *snarls* They're here.
Husk: *snarls* Those sacks of shit are gonna pay for this!
Alastor: *puts his hand on Husk's shoulder, sounding… strangely calm* Calm yourself, Husker.
Husk looks over at Alastor and notices the Radio Demon's eyes are closed.
Alastor: Your anger is justified, but not useful in a situation like this.
He walks to the door.
Charlie: Alastor?
Alastor: I suppose I should remind myself…*his eyes open to reveal they're radio dials as his voice distorts* … why I am here.
Alastor walks out of the hotel, just in time to see Jarold and Jennifer loading up their weapons. Jennifer's missing hand and leg were replaced with guns. They see Alastor.
Jennifer: Out of the way, strawberry bitch! Our business is with this hotel and our fucking exes!
Jarold: Move, dipshit!
Alastor takes a deep breath through his nose, then sighs out.
Alastor: I am going to feed both of you your own hearts.
The two stare at Alastor in surprise, before bursting out laughing, clearly not taking his threat seriously.
Jennifer: *laughing* Oh, shit!
Jarold: *laughing* THAT was a great li-!
Suddenly, Alastor punches Jarold across the face, sending him crashing into the truck. He then bashes Jennifer in the face with his microphone, knocking her to the side. Jarold picks himself up, only for Alastor and starts punching him across the face and in the stomach, then grabbing him by the face and pushing him THROUGH the truck, splitting it in half and causing an explosion as Alastor throws him to the ground like trash.
Alastor: I normally do not get my hands dirty with scum like you, but… *his antlers start to grow out as his eyes turn to radio dials* … you have forced my hand by hurting someone dear to me.
Jennifer gets up and snarls as she runs at Alastor, trying to swing her claws and shoot at him. The Radio Demon swiftly dodges each attack, then grabs Jennifer by the snout and slams her into the ground. He then swiftly dodges an attack from Jarold, giving him a backhand across the face.
Alastor: Never been hit by someone your own sizes before?
Jarold and Jennifer pick themselves up and snarl.
Alastor: You need to turn with your punches to reduce-
They lunge at him, but Alastor slams his fists into both of their faces, breaking their noses as they stagger back.
Alastor: *sarcastic* Better.
Shadow tendrils rise and restrict them both, then slam them against the ground multiple times as Alastor chuckles evilly at their suffering. It soon stops as the shadow tendrils then forcefully hold their mouths open painfully wide. Alastor makes his cane vanish as his arms extend out and his claws lengthen. With a firm push, he shoves both hands through their chests and rips out their hearts. Jennifer and Jarold weakly try to reach for their hearts, but the tendrils restrict them.
Alastor: You two should know… *turns to his full demon form* … I ALWAYS KEEP MY PROMISES.
Alastor then shoves the hearts into the exes' mouths, as they gag and choke on their own organs.
Alastor: *tightly closes his hands* NOW SWALLOW.
The two are tightly constricted and squeezed until…
SPLAT!
Their heads exploded in a bloody display, covering Alastor in their blood. Alastor calms down and returns to his normal form state, cleaning the blood off of him. He then walks back to the hotel and enters, where everyone is waiting in surprise.
Alastor: There. They are dealt with.
Jackson: Already?
Alastor: *walks past him* I took my time playing with my food.
Jackson: *stares in silence for a few moments, then looks at Sophia* Remind me to never piss Alastor off…
Sophia: Noted.
Fade to later in the day as Niffty is laying in bed, her wound bandaged as she's dressed in just pajama pants and a shirt. She opens her eye and sees everyone in the room.
Lincoln: *smiles* Hey, little gremlin.
Niffty: Lincoln…? *tries to sit up*
Vaggie: *stops her* No, don't move. You'll mess up your stitches.
Niffty lifts her shirt a bit and sees her wound stitched up.
Charlie: Vaggie said you'll have to stay in bed for a week before your wound fully heals.
Niffty: *worried* But… I have to clean… and kill those bugs!
Alastor: Niffty, my dear, it's in your best interest to not move. *Niffty looks at him* We will take care of your job while you rest. Oh, and don't worry about the scum who did this to you. I already dealt with them.
Niffty: *calms down a bit* Okay… Thank you, Alastor.
Everyone then leaves the room, except for Lincoln and Minnie. Minnie coos and crawls over to Niffty, sitting next to her. Niffty looks at the baby Imp.
Minnie: Niffy. *puts her hand on Niffty's cheek*
Niffty smiles and pats Minnie's head, then looks at Lincoln.
Niffty: Lincoln, thank you.
Lincoln: Hm?
Niffty: Thank you for saving me, and bringing me back here.
Lincoln: *smiles* I wasn't about to let one of my friends die on me, Niffty.
Minnie: *giggles* Winky pwotect!
Niffty: *smiles and looks at Minnie* Yeah, he does.
She pats Minnie's head as the baby laughs. Minnie then yawns, feeling tired, as she then lays down next to Niffty.
Lincoln: *chuckles* Looks like Minnie wants to take a nap next to you.
Niffty stares at Minnie for a moment, then smiles.
Niffty: I don't mind. *yawns* I'm feeling tired again anyway…
Minnie nuzzles close to Niffty and falls asleep. Niffty wraps an arm around the sleeping baby, then closing her eye as well. Lincoln smiles and leaves the room to let the two sleep as the episode ends.
