This is the 29th chapter. I don't own the series of Helluva Boss or the series of Hazbin Hotel.
Welcome to Heaven
The scene begins with Vaggie, Octavia, and Charlie in their room. Charlie is packing clothes into a suitcase while Vaggie and Octavia sits on the bed, looking troubled because she's overpacking a lot of things to the point she has a closet-sized suitcase, a guitar case, two extra-large suitcase luggage, and a small handbag.
"Ok, I have a warm weather clothes and my cold weather clothes." Charlie said excitedly. "I have a light jacket, flak jacket, and rain jacket- wait, does it rain in Heaven?"
"Charlie, you're only going to Heaven for a few hours." Vaggie points out when Charlie stands up and paces a bit.
"Vaggie, we are only going to Heaven for a day. And I just want to be prepared!" Charlie told her. "It's our last chance to convince Heaven a soul can be redeemed."
"Yeah, I wish I could come, sweetie, but I have that...thing." Vaggie said nervously, but nudges Octavia to play along.
"Right! The thing with...the people." Octavia said.
"What thing?" Charlie inquires curiously.
"The thing with the...thing uhm...fuck, gah, I'm such a bad liar." Vaggie said, tried to come up with an excuse which she got nothing as she grunts.
"Guys, you're my partners, I need you two there with me." Charlie assures, taking Vaggie's hand.
"Fine." Vaggie reluctantly complied with a sigh.
"We'll come." Octavia adds, reluctantly as Charlie cheered and kissed Vaggie on the cheek.
The scene then changes to the main hotel room where both Antauri and Felicia were waiting for them to arrive. Though, Keenie and Collin still aren't allowed to come back to Heaven because of the death of Lyle Lipton which the white hellhound wished he'll find a way to get them back there. Angel Dust stumbles into the lounge with exhaustion.
"Oh, fuck." Angel Dust groans.
Niffty pokes her head out of a plant pot with a feather duster before coming down to see him.
"You look messy! What happened to you?" Niffty inquires with a smirk.
"It's who happened to me, and the answer is everyone!" Angel Dust explains with exhaustion. "Twice. Val had me working 16 hours straight on a fucking whim. The absolute dickbag. UGH!"
While Angel Dust is explaining this, he pulls his hands back to straighten his backside with crackles of bone being popped. He collapses on the couch to rest or sleep for the night. Charlie, Vaggie, and Octavia came into the scene with her holding two luggage suitcases when all of a sudden, the wall explodes, freaking Angel Dust out of the couch. Angel Dust gets annoyed that it's the second or third time the same wall that was fixed was blown up again.
"Argh! What the fuck is with that wall?!" Angel Dust said.
"Seriously?! This is two separate places I live now where the wall keeps blown up!" Antauri shouts in annoyance, gestures to the door. "We have a door over there, dipshit!"
Cherri Bomb appears from the red smoke in the now destroyed hole on the wall, holding a bomb in her hands.
"What up hoes?" Cherri Bomb said with a laugh.
Angel Dust hears the laughter and immediately gets up from the couch with excitement.
"Holy shit! Cherri Bomb?!" Angel Dust exclaims, smirked. "Long time no see, baby!"
"Angie, ya bitch!" Cherri Bomb said, jumps into the room. "You been texting me depressin' shit all day! Figured we could tear shit up like old times. It's been fucking forever!"
Cherri Bomb senses Charlie coming up behind her and gives the bomb to her.
"Here, hold this." Cherri Bomb said.
"Ah! Oh my god! Oh my god!" Charlie said, freaks out and plays hot potato with the bomb as she tosses the bomb back and forth.
"Nope, gimme that." Vaggie said, takes it and throws the bomb out of the oh-so broken wall and said bomb explodes 'safely'.
"I love seein' ya, Cherri, but I'm too tired. I need to pass out." Angel Dust told her as he tries falling back down onto the couch, but Cherri Bomb catches and pulls him up.
"You can sleep when you're double dead, fuckhead!" Cherri Bomb told him excitedly. "Come on, what you really need is a recharge! A reinvigoration, a re-"
"Responsible night on the town! That is a great idea!" Charlie interrupts, shakes her hand. "Hi, Charlie! That's my wall that you just blew up. It's so nice to meet one of Angel's friends! Agh! He never brings anyone around."
"Wonder why?" Cherri Bomb asks sarcastically with a scoff.
"Yeah, me too." Charlie said obliviously. "Anyway, Angel and everyone else have been working hard, I think they deserve to have a little fun."
"W-w-wait, they?" Cherri Bomb asks in a deadpan tone.
Charlie waves over to Husk and Niffty. Husk doesn't seem to care much, but Niffty is shaking so fast that shaking rattling sounds can be heard from her body.
"Yeah! Hi, everyone!" Charlie called them. "Angel and his friend are taking you all out for a night of fun and relaxation!"
Cherri Bomb mistakes Charlie's suggestion and tries to make her understand.
"Wait, I'm only here for Ange-"
Charlie hands Cherri Bomb a large stack of money.
"-Ooh! Never mind, let's GO!" Cherri Bomb cheered, convinced.
"Make sure they have the best time tonight!" Charlie informed her. "Anyway, the portal to Heaven should be opening right about..."
Just as Charlie predicted, the portal to Heaven opens in the middle of the lounge.
"...Now!" Charlie screams in delight.
Charlie grabs Vaggie with both arms and throws her, Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia into the portal, and as she steps a foot inside, she turns back to the guests and workers with Cherri Bomb, waving them goodbye for the day.
"Bye!" Charlie said.
Charlie enters the portal and vanishes on the spot just before Sir Pentious walks by with a drink in his mouth. He notices Cherri Bomb and spits out his drink in shock.
"Well! If it isn't my arch-nemesis!" Sir Pentious exclaims, recomposes with a smirk. "Have you come to meet your fate in battle, Cherri Bomb?"
Sir Pentious didn't notice one of Charlie's discarded luggage in his way and ends up tripping over while Cherri Bomb doesn't seem to mind about him.
"Apparently, I'm going out with Angel and I gotta drag your sorry asses along." Cherri Bomb points out as she takes out a piece of gum and starts chewing.
Sir Pentious hears her well, and is flustered by Cherri Bomb's suggestion. He immediately goes over to her and seemed nervous while Cherri faces him and blows a bubble.
"Oh, oh, you and me are going out like for fun? I...I didn't think this would ever happen." Sir Pentious said, but starts to panic. "What-What do I do? What-What do I wear?"
Sir Pentious grabs Cherri Bomb's shoulder for suggestion, but she doesn't like him touching her and grabs his claw to the point it seemed like she's crushing it.
"Don't fuckin' touch me, ya munted dickhead." Cherri Bomb warned him with a threat.
And with that, Cherri Bomb leaves behind the flustering Sir Pentious, who's blushing red after she touched his hand.
The scene cuts right into the golden gates of Heaven where Charlie, Vaggie, Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia are shown to be outside as the portal closes behind them.
"Guys, look at this place!" Charlie said, amazed. "It's so clean! Isn't that amazing?"
"Yup, super cool. Heaven. Wow." Vaggie answered sarcastically.
"I've only seen it on the TV one time, except where they have Cherubs in there." Antauri adds. "Nothing new to me."
"Well, it looks like just about the depiction of Heaven I've seen in fiction." Felicia states. "Doesn't seem that interesting."
Charlie, Vaggie, Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia approach the front desk where St. Peter pops up from behind his desk.
St. Peter is a blonde haired, blue eyed angel. He wears a blue suit with a red bow tie. He has a pair of pale yellow feathered wings on his back. For his footwear, he wore yellow flat shoes.
"Hiya! Welcome to Heaven!" St. Peter greets. "Can I get your name please?"
"Oh! Oh, uhm, uh, Charlie Morningstar!" Charlie answered.
St. Peter opens the book of reservations that are supposed to be a list of names they've cataloging for those who are to enter Heaven.
"Charlie Morningstar, hmm..." St. Peter mumbles, goes through the names. "I'm not seeing you on your list here, that's so odd."
"Uh, uhm, my dad got me this meeting, so maybe..."
"Oh, Dad! Okay!" St. Peter interrupts with an understanding, but not realizing who.
"Try Lucifer...Morning...star?" Charlie said, using her words when St. Peter realizes who Lucifer is.
"Oh, fuck!?" St. Peter exclaims nervously, quickly closes the book. "Yeah, hoooo, hehe. Yikes, am I right? Are you sure you're in the right place? Because I think you might be a little lost."
St. Peter nervously flies down from the desk to Charlie, Vaggie, Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia. Vaggie, Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia were unamused of him, crossing their arms in disappointment.
"Oh, here we go." Vaggie said.
"Look, I know we're demons and all, but we scheduled this meeting not long ago." Octavia told him. "Don't you have anything that could keep better track of this stuff?"
Just then, high above the fix of them, Sera and Emily suddenly appeared in their angelic forms before turning into their humanoid forms as they land in front of Charlie, Vaggie, Octavia, Felicia, and Antauri.
Sera takes her appearance of a tall and slender woman with cedar-brown skin, white freckles and a white streak going down her nose, and hip length curled hair colored in a silver-like ombre. Her eyes have white irises, blue-grey sclera, deep-purple pupils, and deep-purple thick lashes projecting from them. Atop her lashes are a pair of holographic-like lashes, which are colored in a slightly paler shade of deep-purple. She also has six feathered wings which are pale-periwinkle and white on her back, a while halo that's decorated with large crown-like spikes and blue gem-like circles, and a second halo which hovers above her face. She wears queen-inspired clothing which consists of a two-layered, periwinkle-gray gown with a high-frilled pale-periwinkle collar, white and periwinkle-gray bouffant sleeves with white detailing, along with most of the bottom and hem colored in a pale-periwinkle and white with diamond designs around it.
In her angelic form, Sera has an owl-like body with light skin, straightened gray hair, along with grey sclera, and large dark blue irises. She has six white, bigger wings on her back and a very large halo hovering above her head, resembling of a tiara. A white eyes with a black pupil floats above it. She wears a white and gray goddess-like gown with wavy ends, which has celestial eyes on it. She also has these eyes on her shoulders and wings.
Emily takes her appearance of a slim young woman with silver-like skin, and mid-thigh-long hair with bangs styled in a somewhat messy way, colored in a gradient of periwinkle with noticeable white tips. Her eyes have light blue sclera, white-outlined darker colored-pupils, and deep-purple eyelashes, while her three freckles are white and are located on each of her cheeks and her nose. She also has six white feathered-wings on her back and has a light blue halo decorated with small, tiara-like spikes hovering above her head. She wears princess-inspired clothing which consists of a light periwinkle gown, featuring a darker-colored stripe around the high-frilled collar, dark-colored trimming and details on the short light blue puffed sleeves, a darker-blue star-pattern on the chest, and darker-blue triangular-like patterns on the hem with small diamond shaped between the mounds. In addition, she accessorizes with a light blue sash worn around her waist. She also wears a set of fingerless pale-periwinkle opera gloves which covers most of her arms, which appears to be skin-tight and act as long sleeves for her dress. For her footwear, she wore blue ballerina-like shoes.
In her angelic form, her head is a white oval with three eyes, no hair, no nose, and blue lips. She has six white feathered wings behind her head instead on her back, and the halo has a white eyeball and black pupil instead of spikes. Her white gown has some key differences, most notably the large blue eye with long lashes at the center of her chest replacing the star. Her puffy sleeves are white, while the hem is adorned with bigger periwinkle diamonds above the dark blue pattern, and longer white-outlined navy blue diamonds inside it, all marked with a single white line in the middle. She also has a white feathery neckline and petticoat.
"St. Peter. We can take it from here." Sera said with a gentle tone and a warm smile. "Greetings, daughter of the Morningstar. I am Sera, the High Seraphim of Heaven. You are gifted to be here.
The other angel, Emily, is super-excited to see outsiders from Heaven that she squeals and comes forward the greet them.
"Hi! I'm Emily, the other Seraphim, though you can call me Em! Emmy, E, whatever you want, I go by whatever." Emily introduces herself. "Welcome to Heaven!"
"Sheesh, someone's overexcited." Felicia said in surprised tone.
"Like a kid in Christmas." Antauri states, also surprised.
St. Peter flies overhead to get the gates open and starts singing 'Welcome to Heaven' begins. The gates open to reveal to Charlie and the unamused Vaggie, Octavia, Felicia, and Antauri the world of Heaven, a beautiful, clean paradise that's complete opposite of Hell. Even the Angels looked completely different than the demons.
"Dearly beloved, it is my pleasure to say onto thee..."
St. Peter (Sings):
Welcome to heaven, oh oh!
People are happy that they died, cause here we got no worries, got no burglaries, no strife.
It's a perfect afterlife!
Welcome to Heaven, oh oh!
St. Peter flies amongst many advertisements in Heaven.
St. Peter (Sings):
Check out our sick decor!
The spirits leaven, oh!
Please keep your brimstone off the floor, we've got the best and biggest, the politest of the lot.
St. Peter poses with lots of other angels.
St. Peter (Sings):
And ev-ery-one is hot!
Emily (Sings):
Gosh, I'm so pleased to show some outsiders around.
After you see our realm, you'll never wanna go back down!
Sera (Sings):
Of course it is just temporary, I'm sorry you can't stay.
Emily and St. Peter grabs hands and fly up together, before falling back down and posing with some other angels.
Emily and St. Peter (Sings):
Caause every single day in Heaven is a happy day!
Welcome to Heaven!
St. Peter (Sings):
Yeah!
Charlie, Vaggie, Octavia, Felicia, Antauri, and Emily run hurriedly, unexpectedly passing Adam, who's drinking a soda, and Lute. They both immediately pause as they see them.
Without the mask, Lute's face is revealed to be a white-skinned angel with pale yellow eyes with slit-like pupils, and white hair that has been cut into an asymmetrical-bob with an undercut on the back. She also appears to have a noticeable gray-coloring going from her eyebrows to her eyelids.
"Holy fucking shit balls, am I seeing who I think I'm seeing?" Adam asks in shock.
"What are they doing here? How did they even get up here?" Lute adds with a scowl.
"Who cares? I'm handling this shit right now." Adam said, about to challenge Charlie, Vaggie, Octavia, Felicia, and Antauri when Lute stops him.
"Wait!" Lute said. "You want to start a fight on the promenade in front of everyone?"
"Better than waiting for the fucking extermination!" Adam scoffs, but Lute immediately grabs him by his collar and pulls him.
"Shhh." Lute shushed him harshly. "Sir, what was the Seraphim's one rule?"
"Uuuugh, 'No one but the exorcists can know about the extermination.' I know fine." Adam reluctantly replied in annoyance, slurps his drink. "Don't fucking shush me, bitch."
Just before they can settle this, Sera suddenly appears behind them both, teleporting them to an office-like building with just one sway of her wings. The light goes white on the screen before reappearing to show Adam and Lute being confronted.
"You should listen to your lieutenant, Adam." Sera told him sternly as Adam turns around and looks at her in shock.
"Fuck! Sera! You can't sneak up on a guy like that. Jeez." Adam said in annoyance.
"Your highness, forgive me, but what are the hell-spawn doing here?" Lute questions.
"Well, you failed to control the demons unrest, and now Lucifer is involved, setting up an audience for his misguided daughter." Sera explains, looked at Heaven through the window. "I never would have agreed to your...'yearly activities' if I thought it would bring trouble to our doorstep. Keeping Heaven safe was my only reason for allowing it."
"What do you want from me?" Adam asks in annoyance. "I'm just one guy."
"I want you to do whatever you need to do to keep this problem from getting worse." Sera suggests, leans close to Adams level. "Are we clear?"
"Yeah. Got it." Adam complied.
"Good." Sera said, leans back. "Now tell me about this...Antauri. I'm surprised the little hellhound was able to make it up here."
"He was left abused by a foster parent a few years back, dealing hardships and getting picked on by mortals his age." Lute explains, pulls up a screen from the files.
"Yeah right." Adam scoffs. "For all we know, that little freak just went around pretending to be the victim and murdering random people."
"And now, he's now under the care of 'Immediate Murder Professionals', living with three imps and an adult hellhound." Lute adds.
"Even in his time, he chose to resort to murder." Sera said with a sigh.
"I know. What a fucking nutcase, am I right?" Adam agrees with a smirk. "Want us to do something about him?"
"No. We don't want to start an altercation unless we absolutely have to." Sera told him. "However, once everything is sorted out in court, I'll have the daughter of Morningstar had Antauri over to me. I'll even give him proper guidance and education so he won't have to live in Hell."
Charlie, Vaggie, Octavia, Felicia, and Antauri are shown in their hotel room, Vaggie putting their big tons of luggage down as Charlie sits on the bed excitedly.
"Okay, I love Heaven!" Charlie cheered. "Guys, did you see the ice cream shop? They had sprinkles made of rainbows!"
"Never much of a sweet tooth." Antauri said simply.
"Same here." Octavia agrees with a groan.
"I only get honey and cotton candy." Felicia points out.
"Those are just sprinkles." Vaggie said.
"Emily's going to take me to a zoo where all the animals are actually soft!" Charlie said, stands up excitedly. "You coming?"
"No thanks, I'll take Antauri and Felicia with me to look around." Octavia told her, waving her hand.
"Uh, I need a break." Vaggie said in exhaustion, sits on a bed. "But hug a koala for me."
"O.M.G! Can you imagine an actual koala?" Charlie squeals happily. "See you later!"
Charlie zips right out of the door, leaving Vaggie, Octavia, Felicia, and Antauri alone.
"Vaggie, are you feeling okay?" Octavia asks, turns to her with worry.
"I'm fine." Vaggie answered quickly, sweating a little. "Why do you ask?"
"We're just a little worried." Felicia answered. "Lately, you've been acting a little distant ever since we got here."
"Yeah, it's just...this whole place gives me a bad feeling." Vaggie told her with a sigh.
"We get it. First encounter with Heaven, Cherubs were trying to save the old geezer we were hired to kill and he went six foot under." Antauri said. "We're all in this together."
"I know, I'll see you guys later." Vaggie said nervously.
Octavia, Felicia, and Antauri leaves, leaving Vaggie alone to herself. She lays on the bed with a sigh, but there's a knock on the door a second later. She answers it, revealing Adam, barging right in to greet her.
"Hey there, Vag-asaurus!" Adam greets rudely.
"Charlie will be back soon, you need to get out now." Vaggie warns him, but Adam enters the room with Lute behind him.
"I'm not looking for the blonde babe, a gothic bird-emo, or those brats, babe. I'm looking for you." Adam points out with a smirk, turns to her.
"Why?" Vaggie questions.
"Maybe 'cuz you left the band; you tried for solo career, or guess it's more of a...quartet!" Adam told her.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Vaggie said with a scowl, crossed her arms.
"Do you really think I wouldn't recognize one of my top girls just cuz you're out of uniform?" Adam questions with a glare, raising his eyebrow.
Vaggie immediately grows pale when she realizes how Adam has never forgotten her. A flashback cuts to show a past Extermination. Exorcists come flying down with swords and spears as they hunt and kill every Demon Sinners they find. Screams can be heard as many demons are being massacred by the Angels. An Exorcist flies down and kills a demon, before taking her helmet off, revealing it to be Vaggie with a shorter hair.
"You were on the front lines, I wouldn't forget a bad bitch like you. It's why I named you after the best thing ever, Vaggie."
Cuts back to the present.
"Actually, it's pronounced Vaggie." Vaggie told him in annoyance.
"Hmmmmm-No." Adam shrugs with a smirk. "Anyway, you sure fucked up, didn't you?"
Cuts to a flashback of the Extermination. As Exorcists kills a demon, a sinner child is running away while being chased by a vicious Vaggie as an Exorcist. The child runs into an alleyway where he reaches a dead end. He turns, and starts crying where he's prepared to meet his demise. However, Vaggie hesitates, seeing the innocent child right before her eyes crying in fear. she reconsiders her decision.
"Go, run. Now!"
The sinner child flees from Vaggie right before Lute's shadow appears before her. Vaggie realized she has been spotted before Lute stabs her eye out. Vaggie screams in pain. Her eye falls out before Lute steps on it. She steps on Vaggie.
"Sinful filth like you has no place in Heaven."
Lute brings up Vaggie's head and rips her wings off. Vaggie pants as she watched Adam appear before her in a shadow silhouette before Lute throws her discarded wings away and sword before she and Adam leave. The scene then changes to Vaggie stumbling down an alleyway, now with only one eye. She collapses against a dumpster, before Charlie, in the past, spots her. She puts a bandage over her missing eye, and Vaggie smiles. In return, Charlie smiles back.
"To think someone as worthless as you landed Lilith's little hottie. 'Grats on that I guess."
The scene cuts back to the present where Lute is disgusted of their relationship.
"Their love is vile and blasphemous." Lute states as she and Vaggie glares at each other.
"Hot as fuck though." Adam muttered. "But I wonder what your bitch would think if she found out you are actually one of us, hmmm? Oh, and we can't leave your 'friends' out the equation."
"Adam-"
"They have no idea what the real circumstances are of when you met them." Adam interrupts with a laugh. "You were just on Earth that night doing human reconnaissance to see if that anyone in that city had a chance to get to Heaven. You could've easily taken care of that brat yourself, but you let him get away."
"What do you want?" Vaggie asks since it got her attention.
"Simple, you work for me again and at the hearing, you're gonna help me shut this kindergarten snowflake bullshit down for good." Adam answers with an offer.
"Never!" Vaggie refuse without any second thoughts.
"Oh yeah, you know, that's cool. I guess I'll tell little miss butterflies and rainbows, and those three goodies little two-shoes that she's been fucking someone who's killed...thousands of her people." Adam mocks with a smirk. "I'm sure your relationship will be fine. See you in court!"
Adam and Lute leaves the room, leaving Vaggie scared.
The scene transitions to an angelic courtroom, where Charlie, Vaggie, Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia are sat down. Adam walk by on his way to his seat with Lute.
"Oh no, not him again!" Charlie said with a groan in annoyance.
"Guess we really shouldn't be surprised that those two pieces of trash showed up." Octavia told her as Adam flies up and sits down beside Lute.
"What up, baby? Saw that you went to my manager. Low blow, Karen." Adam mocks, causing Antauri, Felicia, and Octavia to flip him off.
"We gathered here today to determine whether or not a soul in Hell can be redeemed into the heavenly realm viz means of this 'Hazbin Hotel'." Sera announces. "Princess Morningstar?"
"Thank you, Seraphim." Charlie thanks her, clears her throat. "Webster's dictionary defines redemption as-"
"Objection! Lame and unoriginal." Adam interrupts, but earned a smack in the face with a book.
"Shut up, horn head!" Felicia shouts in annoyance. "Everything comes out of your mouth is a load of crap! Do the world a favor and shut up!"
"Sustain." Sera told him, then turns to Felicia and Charlie. "Please refrain for your actions, Felicia Foxhound. And Princess Morningstar, no further dictionary references please."
"Right, ok, uh, uh...uhhmmm..." Charlie muttered nervously, shuffles through multiple cards, all which have various dictionary references on as Antauri face palms with a groan.
"If you have an actual evidence, then show it already." Adam said impatiently.
"Hey, keep your pants on! We're working it already!" Antauri shouts in annoyance as Charlie thought of an idea.
"We have a patron right now who is making incredible progress!" Charlie announces.
"Who?" Adam inquires.
"Angel Dust." Charlie answered simply.
"Oh yeah, the porn demon. He's totally worth being redeemed." Adam taunts, blows a raspberry.
"Real subtle, dude." Octavia said with unimpressed look.
"And how do you know Angel's a porn demon?" Antauri inquires with a smug which it got Adam caught off-guard.
"Well, I-"
"You know what type of porn he makes, right?" Antauri asks again.
"Uhhh...W-W-Well, when you put it like that-"
"You totally have a stash of a gay porn magazines, don't you?" Antauri asks again when Octavia snickered.
"'Cause if you are, I won't be surprised if you have a Fizzarolli doll that could give you that." Felicia adds with a smirk as Octavia burst with a laughter.
"...Just shut the fuck up, douchebags!" Adam shouts.
"Why don't come over here and make me, you horse-humping prick!" Antauri retorted with a scowl, which Adam is starting to get angry.
"Well, if you know so much, what do you think it takes to get into Heaven?" Charlie asks, points her finger at Adam.
"Uhmm...w-well...Uhh..." Adam said nervously when some of the Angels exchange skeptical glances since he has the inability to answer the question.
"Is everything okay, Adam?" Sera inquires.
"Give me a fucking minute, okay?" Adam said rudely as he scrawls something down on a golden paper, before teleporting it over to Vaggie.
"'Act selfless, don't steal, stick it to the man.'" Vaggie reading out loud. "Are you fucking serious?"
"Oh, come on! You just pulled that out of your ass!" Antauri said in annoyance, earned a dirty look from Sera. "What? He actually did! And besides for a leader, you did such a bang-up job on putting him on a short leash."
Sera then scowls at the white hellhound, who flips her off.
"What? That criteria got me up here, didn't it?" Adam asks, turns to Sera and laughs nervously. "Right, Sera?"
"He was the first human soul in Heaven." Sera points out.
"Speaking of which, why were those Cherubs sent down to help Lyle Lipton of all people and were convinced he's a good person who'd get into Heaven?" Antauri questions.
"Who?" Lute asks with a groan.
"Some old fart that's experimenting on people less fortunate that him and Loopty to get rich, which killed them, including the children." Antauri answered which it got Emily horrified.
"Oh, yeah, sure. This coming from a mutt that murders for living!" Adam seethes.
"Me, murder?! You're the last fucking moron I wanted to hear who murders sinners in Hell and not helping people because of some bullshit reason!" Antauri retorted with anger, had enough of Adam. "And you and your psychopathic girlfriend have no right to judge me, you horn-headed bitch boy!"
Adam snarls as he flies out of his seat while Antauri brings out his claws and fangs, about to get ready for a fight.
"Both of you! Cease this behavior immediately!" Sera shouts sternly.
Both Antauri and Adam continue glaring daggers at each other, but returns to their seats. Octavia and Felicia comforts him.
"Well, I bet Angel is doing all those things right now!" Charlie declares.
"Then let's fucking see it bruh!" Adam said as he snaps his fingers.
A spying orb appears in the middle of the courtroom.
"Your honors, may I present: Exhibit A." Charlie announces as the scene transitions to the nightclub Angel Dust and co. are at.
"Woo! Isn't this place the fucking best?" Cherri Bomb asks with a cheer.
"I'll admit, 'Consent' is a good name for a sex club." Husk states with a smirk.
"Niffty, dear, what are you doing?" Sir Pentious asks in confusion, noticing Niffty sweeping the floor.
"I'm sweeping!" Niffty answered simply. "Ugh, look how icky it is in here!"
"That's because we're at a club, dear." Sir Pentious points out.
"Oh! I thought the hotel looked different!" Niffty said with a giggle as Sir Pentious leans over to Cherri Bomb.
"Ms. Bomb, I-I'd like to buy you a drink." Sir Pentious offers nervously while tapping her shoulder.
"Why? Didn't you say we're arch-rivals?" Cherri Bomb asks with a smug, crossed her arms.
"Uhm...uhh...because I'm buying everyone a drinking!" Sir Pentious declared, recomposed with a smirk as the crowd cheered.
"Free drinks! I love alcohol!"
"Good, I need a drink after today." Angel Dust groans. "You know, Val, he's into this waterboarding shit now, I don't know, it's a kink."
"Angel, enough with the Val talk. He already ruined your whole day, don't let him ruined your night too." Cherri Bomb points out, holds out three pills. "Here, take one of these and you won't be worrying about nothing."
"Here we go." Husk muttered quietly, rolled his eyes.
"Oh look! The drunk sobered up long enough to judge us." Cherri Bomb taunts with a smirk.
"I ain't the one trying to get into Heaven." Husk remarked, then turns to Angel Dust. "Look, you want to fuck up all your progress? Be my guest. I just...I just thought you were better than that."
"Thanks, Captain Buzzkill." Cherri Bomb said sarcastically. "Come on, Angie, let's get fucked up! It's been too long!"
"I uhh...I don't know, it's been a long night and I don't need to get wild." Angel said hesitantly, causing Cherri Bomb to pout and Husk smirks with an approval.
"Come on, bitch. If you've really been working that hard, you deserve a little R and R, some THC, or maybe PCP with DMT." Cherri Bomb points out scoffs when Sir Pentious slithers back into the frame. "Aw, fuck it, let's see where the night takes us, huh?"
"I...I guess?" Angel Dust said.
"Cherri, I bought you a shot." Sir Pentious told her nervously, earned her attention. "B-Because I bought everyone another shot! Hooray!"
"Yeah! Another drink! I love alcohol!"
"Ah...Fuck it, let's do it." Angel Dust said, takes a shot while Husk sighs as the scene transitions back to the courtroom.
"Heavenly people, what more do you need to see?" Adam asks with a smirk. "The porn star chose a night of debauchery. That's not a soul worthy of being in Heaven."
"Objection!" Octavia shouts. "You're seriously gonna judge him for getting drink with friends after a hard day, like you wouldn't?"
"Uh, we don't have hard days? It's fucking Heaven, bitch." Adam retorted when Octavia flips him off. "You seriously gonna sit there and pretend like this behavior is okay?"
"Says a hypocrite who doesn't know what it's like to have hard days." Felicia remarked. "You don't know what it's like out there so you have to right to talk or to judge."
Adam couldn't help but scowl while Charlie, Antauri, and Octavia snickered a bit along with Emily, which apparently the fox demon made a valid point. Apparently, Adam and Lute would want to put them out of their misery, but with Sera on watch along with the Angels, they'll have to put up with them. Adam thought of an idea, turns to Vaggie with malicious intent.
"What do you think?" Adam asks.
"I-I-I have to go to the bathroom." Vaggie said in a scared tone as she rushes out of the courtroom.
"What? Vaggie, can you hold it?!" Charlie exclaims, groans in frustration. "Angel will make good decisions, come on! We have to keep watching! Please?"
"Yeah, I don't know." Sera said with a sigh.
"Yeah, let's give him a chance." Emily suggests.
"Very well, the court will allow it." Sera complied with reluctance.
"Fuck, yes!" Charlie cheered, but earned a glare from Sera. "I mean...heh...thank you."
The scene transitions back to the club, where the gang have had multiple drinks.
"Round 12, motherfuckers!" Cherri Bomb said with a shots on her hands. "Heels are coming off!"
"Ho ho yeah! Keep 'em comin'!" Angel Dust cheered as Cherri Bomb places the shots to the table, passes the shot to Husk as he grabs it with a smirk. "Come on, right here! Come right here to daddy!"
"Oh, it's wonderful to have friends!" Sir Pentious declares with a chuckle, grabs the shot.
"Everything's spinny!" Niffty said with a giggle, which it proves the point of her eye swirled, trying to grab a shot.
"Ha, I think you're done, tiny." Angel Dust told her, takes the shot away from her.
"No! Gimme gimme gimme!" Niffty complains, tried to grab a shot.
"Oh come on, bitch! She can handle a little more!" Cherri Bomb shouts, glaring at Angel Dust.
"She's like 10 pounds soaking wet, and...oh shit, where'd she go?" Angel Dust asks after handing the shot to Husk, who drinks two shots, noticed Niffty is shoving other patrons drinks into a sack.
"Hey! Fuck!"
"Dirty, dirty! Make it clean!" Niffty said when Angel approaches her.
"Damn it, Niffty. Sorry fella, here, next one's on me." Angel Dust told them, tossing the cash to them and searches for her. "Niffty? Shit!"
He noticed her digging through a supply closet.
"Chlorine...Bleach..." Niffty said as Angel Dust was about to get her, but Cherri Bomb walks in front of him.
"Angie, the fuck you doin'?" Cherri Bomb asks in confusion. "You're supposed to be relaxin', not playin' nanny!"
"Look, she ain't used to the scene, I-I just don't want her to end up in the gutter like I used to." Angel Dust points out.
"Pfft, WHATEVER, NERD, just catch up when you're done!" Cherri Bomb scoffs as she walks way.
Niffty laughs when Angel Dust picks her up.
"STOP! You can't take tha-GOD, Niff, why you bein' such a mess?!" Angel Dust shouts in annoyance.
"I'm the mess?" Niffty whimpers as she starts crying.
"Oh, oh shit! Hey hey, calm down." Angel Dust said nervously, takes a deep breath. "It's fine. Shhh...Hey, you wanna play with the kitty?"
"Yeah..." Niffty answered, stops crying as Angel puts on Husk's head while she giggles about it.
"The fuck is this?" Husk asks in annoyance.
"She's wasted, just go with it." Angel Dust suggests.
"Really?" Husk said as Niffty plays with his ears and wings. "Ugh, get the..."
The scene changes to Sir Pentious fell off his seat and slithered over to Cherri Bomb.
"Ahh...HEY, WOW!" Sir Pentious cheered, drunk. "Hey, so...I see the club has a sex room, so I was thinking, maybe you'd want to, uhmm...do a...sssSEX with me?"
"I'm sorry, why would we have sex?" Cherri Bomb asks with a snort.
"Uh...uhm...because I'm having sex with everyone here!" Sir Pentious announces, laughs briefly before being grabbed.
Crowd cheers, before dragging Sir Pentious towards the sex room. Many sets of eyes are visible inside.
"Wait!" Sir Pentious screams when Angel Dust, Husk, and Niffty approaches Cherri Bomb.
"You know, we can do this fucking shit every night!" Cherri Bomb told them with a smirk. "You don't have to spend all your off hours 'working on yourself', you little bitch."
"The hotel isn't a problem in his life, it's-"
"Valentino." Angel Dust interrupts, noticed him with a scowl.
"Exactly." Husk agrees. "So, why don't you-"
"No, Valentino." Angel interrupts again, points at him.
The scene pans to Valentino at a large sofa-bench, walking with some female demons.
"Yeah, I'm here all the time, they know me." Valentino told them with a smirk, puffs the smoke out of his mouth. "You're gorgeous, do you need a job? How many dicks can you suck? I could make you a star..."
"Let's get the fuck out of here, okay?" Angel Dust suggests, but noticed a certain demon went missing. "...Where's Niffty?"
"Ok, yeah, bring me another drink or I'll fucking kill you." Valentino said with a smirk when Niffty is seen running towards him.
"Bad boy!" Niffty said with a giggle.
"Yeah, a star. Porn star." Valentino continued. "Ok, yep, bring me another or I'll fucking kill you! I said I'll fucking kill you and I will."
"Excuse me! Pardon me! Get out of my way!" Angel Dust said, tumbles onto the platform and grabs Niffty, who's still running in midair as he holds her.
"Holy shit, Angel Dust? What are you doing here, baby?" Valentino mocks with a smirk. "You didn't get enough dick today?"
"Funny." Angel Dust said sarcastically with a scowl.
"Who's this chiquita?" Valentino asks, points at Niffty. "You bringing me fresh meat?"
Niffty bites at Valentino by the finger, which he was able to move away with a yelp.
"I just want a taste." Niffty said with a sadistic smirk, making Valentino disturbed.
"Weird, but there's a kink for that, I'm sure!" Valentino said as Angel Dust stands up, still holding Niffty.
"Fuck off, Val." Angel Dust snarls, had enough.
"Excuse me?" Valentino asks, turns to him with his eyebrow raised.
"I said fuck off!" Angel Dust told him which the atmosphere is getting intense. "I may have put up with your bullshit, but you ain't fuckin' with any of my friends!"
"You forget who you're talking to?" Valentino snarls, stands up as he summons his red smoke chain and grabs Angel Dust with it, pulling him close. "I own you, bitch."
"Yeah, you do, in the studio." Angel Dust told him with a scowl. "And you can do anything you want to me there, just like our deal says. But out here, I get to do what I want. So once again, FUCK. OFF!"
Valentino smacks Angel Dust, sending him tumbling to the side with a bloody nose as he walks over.
"Enjoy the rest of you night, bitch, because I'm going to enjoy making you pay for it tomorrow." Valentino said with a sinister smirk.
Both Husk and Cherri Bomb tensed up, looking like they're barely holding themselves back from attacking Valentino.
"Fuckin' dickhead." Cherri Bomb muttered as Angel Dust stands up and wiping the blood off of his nose.
"Fuck it. It was worth it." Angel Dust said with a growl, walks away.
"Way to go, kid." Husk said with a smile, puts a hand on his back as they walk off.
NIffty appears as she tears off a part of Valentino's fur.
"OW! What the fuck?!" Valentino shouts in pain.
"For my collection!" Niffty said as she chuckles, leaving Valentino disturbed. "Wait up, guys!"
"Did you just call these cunts your friends?" Cherri Bomb inquires with an impressed smirk. "That was my job."
"There's room for everyone, and ya know...you could crash with us too." Angel Dust offered.
"Okay, look, Angie, I'm glad this hotel shit is workin' for you, but you know me, bitch, I'm doin' just fine!" Cherri Bomb told him. "In fact, I'm gonna fuck the next guy I see, okay? But if you need me, you know where to find me, yeah?"
While Cherri Bomb walks into the sex room, Sir Pentious finally made it out.
"Is Cherri still here?" Sir Pentious asks with a heavy pant, both Husk and Angel Dust thrust their thumbs to her with another demon. "Dammit!"
Scene transitions back to the angelic courtroom.
"See! He did everything on your checklist!" Charlie declared proudly. "He was selfless, he stops Niffty from stealing and he stuck it to that moth man!"
"Uhhh...well, uh...then why isn't he here then?" Adam asks nervously.
"Yeah, why isn't he here?" Emily adds skeptically when the angels observing the court all murmur together.
"Wait...none of you know what gets someone into Heaven?" Charlie asks with a glare.
"You've gotta be kidding me!" Antauri shouts in annoyance. "You still condemn him, but allow this worthless jackass in here?! Even after your first woman dumped your sorry ass!"
"This questioning stops now." Sera announces since she dodged the question in the first place. "We know when a soul arrives, we know when they pass divine judgment, it is our job to ensure these souls are safe."
Emily (Sings):
But she was right, Sera
She showed us a soul can improve
Emily flies up and shows the orb with the scene of Angel Dust defying Valentino.
Emily (Sings):
He saw the light, Sera
Checked all the boxes that you would
Emily flies with the orb and asks the other angels observing the court.
Emily (Sings):
Prove a person deserves a second chance
Now we turn our backs, no second glance
Sera (Sings):
It's not as simple as you think
Emily flies back up to Sera, who takes her hands.
Sera (Sings):
Not everything is spelled in ink
The scene turns back down to Charlie, Vaggie, Octavia, Felicia, and Antauri.
Charlie and Octavia (Sings):
It's not fair, Sera
Vaggie steps forward and puts a hand on Charlie's shoulder.
Vaggie (Sings):
Careful, Charlie, Octavia, keep a cool head
Charlie pulls away as she and Octavia looks at Sera.
Charlie (Sings):
No! Don't you care, Sera?
That just because someone is dead
It doesn't mean they can't resolve to change their ways
The orb shows multiple images of Angel Dust and the others.
Charlie (Sings):
Turn the page
Escape infernal blaze
Sera (Sings):
I'm sure you wish it could be so
But there's a lot that you don't know
The scene turns to Lute and Adam's seat abruptly.
Lute (Sings):
What are we even talkin' about?
Some crack-whore who fucked up already?
He blew his shot, like the cocks in his mouth
Lute stands up and puts her Exorcist mask on.
Lute (Sings):
This discussion is senseless and petty
Both Adam and Lute fly up in front of Charlie, before flying over and landing on the ord.
Adam and Lute (Sings):
There's no question to be posed
He's unholy, case closed
Did you forget 'Hell is forever'?
Adam (Sings):
A man only lives once
We'll see you in one month
Adam flies off the orb and gets closer to Charlie, who briefly turns herself into her full demon form.
Adam (Sings):
Gotta say, I can't wait to
"Adam!"
Adam (Sings):
Come down and exterminate you!
"Wait!"
"Shit!"
Emily (Sings):
What are you saying?
Let me get this straight
Emily flies down and lands in front of the orb, staring sadly.
Emily (Sings):
You go down there and kill those poor souls?
Charlie (Sings):
You didn't know?
"Whoops!"
Lute (Sings):
Guess the cats out of the bag
Adam (Sings):
What's the big deal?
Octavia (Sings):
The big deal is Sera had a dark secret that's been hidden since the start of Heaven and Hell
And it's no surprise she kept it from everyone
And you two play kissing Sera's ass to do her bidding
Antauri and Felicia (Sings):
Which is rather foolish and stupid
And the slaughter of the Sinners is meaningless
Shame on you, Sera!
Shame on you!
Emily looks up to Sera.
Emily (Sings):
Sera, tell me you didn't know
Sera (Sings):
I thought, since I'm older
It's my load to shoulder
"No!"
Sera flies down to Emily and takes her hand.
Sera (Sings):
You have to listen
It was such a hard decision
I wanted to save you, the anguish it takes to
Sera takes Emily's hand and forces a smile, but the fire from the orb reflects her eyes.
Sera (Sings):
Do what was required
Emily (Sings):
To think I admired you!
Emily tugs out of Sera's grip and flies upward.
Emily (Sings):
Well, I don't need your condescension
I'm not a child to protect
Emily turns in the air and questions Sera directly.
Emily (Sings):
Was talk of virtue just pretension?
Was I too naive to expect you
To heed the mortals you're purveying?
Charlie (Sings):
That's what the fuck I've been saying!
Both Charlie and Emily fly onto the orb as the scene spins.
Charlie, Emily, and Octavia (Sings):
If Hell is forever, then Heaven must be a lie!
"Emily!"
Charlie, Emily, and Octavia (Sings):
If angels can do whatever, and remain in the sky
Emily and Charlie fly off the orb and move out of the way, showing an Exorcist murdering a demon.
Charlie, Emily, and Octavia (Sings):
The rules are shades of gray when you don't do as you say
When you make the wretched suffer just to kill them again
The members of the court are shown to be horrified.
Charlie (Sings):
I was told not to trust in angels
Adam walks nearer to Vaggie.
Adam (Sings):
By her?
Lute leans on Vaggie's shoulder.
Lute (Sings):
Ha! She should know
Vaggie walks over to Charlie, who takes her hand.
Vaggie (Sings):
We should go
Charlie (Sings):
No! Don't you see?
We've come so close
The scene cuts to an above view, showing the angels all talking together and Emily refusing to listen to Sera.
Charlie (Sings):
Look at them fighting; they're at each others throats
Adam (Sings):
Don't you act all high and mighty
Did you ever think your little girlfriend might be a liar?
Adam walks through the gap between Charlie and Vaggie and approches the orb.
Vaggie (Sings):
Don't, Adam, please!
Adam (Sings):
What's the fuss?
Why hide the fact that you're an angel?
Adam sinisterly turns while Lute grabs Vaggie and pulls over to them.
Adam (Sings):
Just like us?
The orb shows Vaggie in the past as Exorcist, a shadow falling over the darkened courtroom as she spreads her wings.
As the song ends, Charlie falls to her knees in disbelief as Vaggie runs to her and Emily settles back at Sera. Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia, however, felt disgusted of Adam and Lutes actions, playing Charlie's head and using Vaggie as a leverage to reveal her dark secret. Sera inhales to keep composure.
"I'm sorry...but this court finds that there is no evidence souls in Hell to be redeemed." Sera announced.
"Oh, FUCK YES! I WIN! SUCK IT BITCHES!" Adam said victoriously, flips them off. "You better save the date cunts, 'cause we're coming to your hotel FIRST!"
Adam snaps his fingers, reopening the portal to Hell.
"What...NO! You can't-"
"You...motherfu-"
Charlie and Vaggie screams as they, Octavia, Antauri, and Felicia were transported back to Hell through the portal.
"Charlie! Don't give up on this! I'll figure something out, I promise!" Emily called out.
"That was uncalled for, Adam." Sera said in a disapproving tone.
"Yeah, but did you see the looks on their fucking faces, it was..."
It got Adam realizing that the angels aren't amused of his actions and taking his side, either.
"Sorry..." Adam apologizes, which he's not as he, the court, and Lute fly away.
Emily and Sera are the ones remained behind, which the former crossed her arms in a disappointed, yet angry look on her face.
"Extermination...of human souls? Demon or not there is NO reason to be doing this." Emily shouts angrily, turns to her.
"They were uprising, Emily." Sera snapped. "It is my position as the head Seraphim to protect our people at all costs. And it's your position to keep them happy and joyful."
Sera leans forward, putting her hands on Emily's shoulders.
"How can I bring joy when I now know we are bringing misery to thousands of innocent people?" Emily questions.
"Heaven needs us, Emily. Everyone looks up to us...and we can't doubt ourselves to worry or about the fates of demons when we have our own souls to protect. Please...if you start to question...you could end up like Lucifer. FALLEN. I couldn't bear to see you suffer that fate, so please, let me worry about this, ok?" Sera explains, kissed her on the forehead. "I'm sorry."
Emily puts her hand on Adam's list gently.
That's it for the 29th chapter.
