IMP City
"I'm telling you I did not put anything on your phone. How would I even do that?" Moxxie asked as questions were starting to arise.
"Beats me Moxxie. I just sometimes see you as some kind of person who's good with tech," Millie said with a shrug of the shoulders.
Currently, Moxxie and Millie were the only ones in the I.M.P. business. It was once again the first day back from the latest Extermination and with that brought up all the new questions about these mysterious logs that everyone was seeming to get.
"Well, I can assure you that I'm just as good with tech as anyone else would be," Moxxie replied "Besides I have them on my phone as well."
"So someone else had to have put them on our phones," Millie said.
"Gee and I wonder who could have done that," Moxxie said as he thought he had figured it out.
"You really think B would know how to do any of this shit?" Millie asked as fingers were beginning to be pointed.
"Of course not, I would never credit him with doing anything in the intelligence category. I just know he always finds a way to fuck with me," Moxxie replied.
"I doubt that Blitz did something like this and if he somehow did, why would he send you some voice memos of some chick," Millie said trying to reassure her husband.
"That's a fair point. But that still makes me wonder why we got these. Are they important to us?" Moxxie spoke.
"I can figure out that they are talking about that one human wandering around hell," Millie stated.
"Oh, that's right! I totally forgot about him. Well, I suppose that does add a lot more context to this whole...situation. But that still doesn't explain where they came from," Moxxie said.
WHAM
"OKAY, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" Blitzo exclaimed as he kicked open the door being just as confused as Moxxie and Millie were.
"Something wrong Blitz?" Millie asked.
"Somebody thinks there's a real fucking wise guy tapering into my phone and putting weird shit on it and I got a feeling who that might be," Blitzo said as his eyes slowly peered at Moxxie.
"You also think it's me?!" Moxxie asked as he didn't expect to be accused again.
"I'm not naming any names by I have my suspicions," Blitzo said. Ultimately, his eyes still went back towards Moxxie making it really obvious who he was accusing.
"You seem like the type," Loona said as she had come in with Blitzo and also was wondering how the logs got on her phone as well.
"What is that supposed too mean?" Moxxie asked as he truly didn't know the type he was.
"The short, fat, and geeky type. Someone who has a secret hobby in computers," Loona said with a grin.
"For the last time I am not fat, and I did not put anything on anyone's phone. Millie and I have the same issue," Moxxie responded.
"So there's some fucking bitch out there trying to pull some shit on us," Blitzo said even know he still wasn't completely convinced it wasn't Moxxie.
"I mean this isn't really much of anything," Millie said.
"Agreed. If this is some type of a prank, it's a pretty shitty one at best," Loona said backing Millie's statement.
"The fuck is a prank?" Blitzo asked.
"A prank? You know like a...practical joke you pull on someone or like a mischievous act?" Moxxie said as he figured Blitzo would know what a prank was.
"That's a stupid name, I just call that fucking with someone," Blitzo responded with a smile.
"Whatever you fucking call it, it still was stupid as shit," Loona added.
"Exactly! I don't see anything fucking practical about some bitch putting shit on our phones. But whatever it was, it's gone now," Blitzo said folding his arms.
"What does that mean?" Moxxie asked.
"Fucking hell Moxxie, it's gone, deleted, booted the fuck outta here, not coming back, do you FUCKING get what I'm saying?" Blitzo said as he dumbed it down.
"You deleted it without even seeing what it was?" Millie asked.
"Why would you do that?" Moxxie asked as well.
"Why the fuck would I care about something I didn't want to have on my phone? Besides if it ended up being a...prank as you two described it, I don't want anyone having the last laugh," Blitzo said with a devilish grin.
"What if it was something from a client?" Moxxie said bringing up a scenario.
"Who the fuck would send me some random ass shit without coming to us in person or even leaving a call or text? If that was from someone who wanted us to kill someone they can try again by doing it a normal way," Blitzo said.
"Well I can assure you it wasn't from a client," Loona said.
"Okay you three apparently seem to know what the fuck is going on, so why don't you spill it," Blitzo said.
"The logs are about some lady who seems to come from the future talking about that human," Millie said giving him a short version.
"What human?" Blitzo asked.
"The one that's been in hell sir," Moxxie said in a bit of an annoyed tone.
"Oh, that one. Well, why should we care? Sure a human in hell is...a bit strange but we don't ever see the guy," Blitzo said as it didn't seem important to them.
"While that is true, it does seem to provide a lot of context about who he is. According to these, he's from the future," Moxxie stated.
"What? No fucking way he's from the future. I'm finding that to be a big pile of shit cause no WAY time travel exists," Blitzo responded.
"We literally have a magical book that allows us to literally travel to a different realm among other things. You don't think time travel could exist?" Loona said.
"Well when you put it like that Loonie I guess I'll have to agree with you," Blitzo said. It was hard to tell if he actually agreed or was just biased because Loona said it.
"It seems like he protects human folks from...something," Millie said and it was hard for them to tell cause nothing was specifically stated in the logs.
"Sounds like something intense. But apparently, he protects the humans from whatever it is," Moxxie said as well.
"Okay...why the fuck should we care about the fact he 'apparently' protects humans from something in the so-called future?" Blitzo asked.
"Even if he's from the future, he'll still want to protect humans in our time," Moxxie responded.
"Uh-huh," Blitzo responded as he acted like he knew what the hell Moxxie was getting at.
"And we kill humans sir. If he knows that demons in hell are going up to the surface to kill humans, don't you think that might make him a bit mad at us?" Moxxie asked making it as clear as he could.
"Moxxie you're being hysterical again," Loona said.
"I am not being hysterical, it is a very normal thought to think of," Moxxie responded.
"Moxxie you are definitely getting your tiny cock in a bunch. We should not give a shit about that human in a big ass place like hell," Blitzo said as he was clearly on Loona's side.
"Fact that he came from the future to our time is a little strange. I wonder if he's here to prevent something from going wrong in the future, like in those sci-fi films," Millie said changing the subject.
"Pretty overused plot if you ask me," Loona chimed in.
"Aw come on their fun," Millie responded.
"Look going back to my point, it is not an impossible outcome. Shouldn't we just keep it in the back of our minds if he does get mad that we murder humans? I mean he's called the Doom Slayer after all," Moxxie said bringing everyone off of sci-fi films and back to the point.
"I doubt that will ever happen. Besides, I don't think he even knows who the fuck we are. He's a scared and lost human in a FUCKING massive place like hell," Blitzo said with a coo.
"What about the billboards?...and the commercial?" Moxxie said.
"Hm, fair point my billboards are pretty fucking amazing that it could obviously attract his attention," Blitzo said as he placed his hand under his chin. He still wasn't concerned about the Slayer hunting them down, he was more focused on himself.
"I still doubt he gives a fuck. From what I've heard, he hates everyone," Loona said and she would know as she spent a lot of time on social media.
"Sounds like a great guy," Blitzo said with a grin to spite Moxxie.
"If he did want us dead, why hasn't he come for us yet?" Millie asked. It was clear she was leaning towards Blitzo and Loona's side.
"Maybe he just hasn't found us," Moxxie said.
"Look Moxxie you just need to calm your tiny ass down. That fucking guy probably doesn't give a fuck. If some shit happens where he does want to tear our assholes off, I'm sure we could manage in the end," Blitzo responded.
"I mean that is possible. But he isn't like any other human we've seen," Moxxie said as he wasn't convinced.
"We all know the four of us have had our fair share of trials," Blitzo said as he walked around to Moxxie and Millie and put an arm around both of them. Millie didn't mind but Moxxie was slightly annoyed. "I mean, we survived some crazy ass family, that slutty toy clown, my whore bag of an ex and her slutty crew, a sea monster, whiny bitches from heaven, a bounty hunter, a ton of armed fucking agents, and...ugh...the downfall of my acting career," he said as he practically shedded a tear at the end.
"Very true sir," Moxxie said as he wanted to find a way to disagree with Blitzo, but couldn't find one.
"I'm fucking aware that he's some strong and built human but whatever happens with him, we always manage to find a way to fucking win," Blitzo said as he clenched a fist.
"I guess so," Moxxie said.
"Let him come for us. But for now, we still gotta figure out what BITCH hacked into our phones," Blitzo said.
Hazbin Hotel
"The Doom Slayer. That name is pretty fucking cool," Angel said as he now had been filled in on what was going on.
"Yeah, unfortunately, it doesn't have anything on his real name. I mean that's got to be a nickname right?" Niffty said.
"I doubt someone would name their fucking kid the Doom Slayer," Husk said giving his feedback.
"Some people got weird fucking names so ya neva know," Angel said with a shrug.
"Okay, can we get back to the bigger picture here?" Vaggie asked.
"I'm not understanding the problem here. We finally got a little bit of backstory on the guy telling us how he is a god, which is incredibly useful in a place like hell," Angel said.
"Why's that?" Vaggie asked.
"Duh! Cause nobody will try to fuck with any of us if they know we have two gods staying here," Angel responded.
"First off, the only people who know that he is here are everyone in this room and Valentino, and second, is that really the look we want to be putting off here?" Vaggie said bringing up a thought.
"What do you mean Vaggie?" Niffty asked.
"We are still trying to get other sinners to stay at our hotel and we haven't been having much luck lately, if they find out we have one of the most dangerous demons in hell and now the most dangerous human to ever exist that could easily scare them off from staying here," Vaggie said.
"Oh Vagatha, Vagatha, Vagatha. That shouldn't be a reason for someone to not want to take shelter here. Chivalry is what many would call dead in a place such as hell and with that comes many dangers and threats. If people allow themselves to show fear then they may not survive a place like hell," Alastor said.
"You know that's not entirely true. Demons probably show fear to you all the time but they end up staying alive...at least I hope so if you're representing the hotel," Vaggie said while folding her arms and giving a stern look.
"Heh, heh, I'll leave that up to mystery. But do not digress from my point dear Vagatha, if the sinners of hell really want something, such as redemption, they'll have to go through some obstacles to earn it," Alastor said with a clenched fist even though he still believed redemption was impossible.
"Basically what Alastor is trying to say is if ya wanna stay here, ya can't be a pussy," Angel said.
"You do fucking realize he's not one of the 'hotel staff' that stays here," Husk said as he did the motion of air quotes with his claws.
"Exactly. It's not like he's gonna be the face of this hotel," Angel said. He would always stay on the Slayer's side as he wanted him here.
"Well..." Vaggie said trying to think of something.
"And I thought we were supposed to take anyone," Niffty said, also being on the Slayer's side.
"I suppose that is a...fair point," Vaggie said.
"I have to agree with them Vaggie. I mean he hasn't done anything bad that could cause us to kick him out of the hotel," Charlie said finally speaking up. She was mainly listening to the other's thoughts to help with this discussion.
"I...I know. He is just a concerning person. We have no idea at the moment how hell is taking these voice logs revealing that he is some type of powerful warlord who spends his time fighting in what seems like wars," Vaggie said.
"Maybe that's why he's so fucked up," Husk said.
"Ouch, that's a bit harsh Husk," Niffty said.
"No, I don't fuckin mean it like that. What I'm tryna get at is that could be the reason of why he's so damn mad all the time. I saw similar shit in too many guys when they came back from war or the military. Fuck's with their heads and changes them for the worse," Husk responded.
"You know Husk, that's actually a really good point that I did not think about. This is finally something that I've been wanting to find out. And I feel like you're right," Charlie said as the bigger picture was starting to form.
"Maybe, but I still don't think that's the whole story. Just fighting in wars makes a fella completely emotionless and leads him to be silent all the time. There's still gotta be some deep shit we still don't know," Angel added.
"I agree," Niffty said.
"Well, unless more of these mystical voice recordings fall out of the sky, I suppose we will have to leave that idea up to fate," Alastor said.
"Vaggie I think yer distrustful side for men is coming back into play," Angel said.
"I do not have a distrustful side. I am simply looking at the person we have here and looking at certain outcomes. Look, we've said this before, he's very unpredictable and clearly has some major anger issues among others. I mean Angel, you nearly were decapitated by him," Vaggie said dwelling back on the incident in the Slayer's room.
"My, my, I did not know about that. Please go on in very specific details," Alastor said with a big smile.
"Okay first off, fuck you Alastor. Second, he probably was having some sort of...nightmare where what he was seeing wasn't real. Going back on what Husk was saying before he may have that...uh...may have that...Husk what's that thing fellas get after going to war?" Angel asked as he was forgetting the term.
"The fuck are you talking about?" Husk asked as it wasn't clear what Angel was trying to get at.
"Ya know like that shit in yer head that fucks you up," Angel said trying to explain it. He really was having a brain fart here.
"Fucking PTSD?" Husk guessed.
"THERE we go. Yes that shit," Angel said finishing his statement.
"You do realize that anyone can suffer from Post-traumatic stress disorder besides people in the military?" Vaggie stated.
"Yes I fucking know, but PTSD is normally assigned to marine fellas," Angel said.
"It was an odd way to get there but I do sorta agree with Angel," Charlie said with a nervous smile as she didn't want to make it seem like she was always siding against Vaggie.
"If you really want to kick him out of the hotel, then go ahead. But what if he don't wanna leave? I'd love to see you try to make that big fella leave," Angel said with a grin at Vaggie.
"Look, my main point here is just to be wary of what could happen. Maybe I am being harsh on him since we still don't fully know his entire...backstory. But we will need some kind of plan if he ends up killing people,"
"Never would I see the day where someone would be more worried about this Doom Slayer killing someone than Alastor," Husk said as that almost made him laugh.
"I'm still very skeptical of Alastor at times," Vaggie said.
"Much obliged Vagatha," Alastor responded.
"I don't think you'll have to worry about the human Miss Vaggie. We haven't been mean to him or tried to harm him in any way and he hasn't done anything to us," Niffty said.
"Exactly, he's really like a gentle giant...okay scratch that he is anything from gentle but you get where the fuck I'm tryna go with this," Angel said adding on to Niffty's comment.
"And while people in hell are fucking dumb, they ain't stupid. I doubt anyone that sees him will try to kill him," Husk added.
"Not unless they wanna be double dead," Angel said.
"I can't argue with that," Vaggie said.
"I...I think it will still be alright. I doubt us learning this information about him will change how things have been here. I think it depends more on how just everyone else is reacting to this..., especially my dad," Charlie said.
"Would he really care that much? I mean I wouldn't think how it would affect him," Niffty spoke.
"Well knowing my dad, he doesn't like people who obtain a lot of power that he can't control or keep in check. That's why I'm really hoping that my dad and the...Slayer do not meet face-to-face. I'm afraid to know what that outcome would bring," Charlie said not knowing what events had already happened in the past between Lucifer and the Slayer.
"Perhaps an outcome of epic proportions. A fight to the end," Alastor said.
"I'd put money on muscles. Not being biased of course," Angel said while looking at others for support.
"Can we please not place bets on whether or not a fight between my dad and the human would result in my dad dying," Charlie said.
"Hm, okay it does sound a bit dickish when you put it like that," Angel responded.
The doors to the hotel were pushed open and the loud footsteps filled the hallway as the Slayer was beginning to walk through. As he got near all the hotel staff, it was like they didn't know what to say first to him. They now knew a lot more than they did that their original views on him had changed. But of course, Angel would be the one to speak first.
"So. the Doom Slayer hm?" Angel said to him.
This made the Slayer stop in his tracks. He turned around slowly to face the rest of them as he did not know how they could have ever known that. He figured that no one in this realm knew what he was called.
"Well It is clear to see that he is familiar with that name," Alastor said.
The Slayer looked at Alastor and then kept on looking at all of them still wondering how they knew that information and what else they knew.
"I can see you seem confused. We got these logs and it sounds like most of hell did too. I'm not sure if you know a woman named Dr. Elena Richardson?" Charlie said answering the Slayer's question.
The Slayer was familiar with the logs they received and who Elena Richardson was. But he still did not know how it was possible for them to obtain that information and those logs as they were kept in the ARC's databases.
"So..yer from the future?" Angel asked. It was a combination of a question and a statement.
"And you're a soldier?" Niffty asked. It was the same thing as Angel.
"Well, that much was obvious. But it says you serve some priests," Angel said. "Ain't take ya took much for a catholic junky."
"Are you an army general?" Niffty asked.
The Slayer in a way wanted to tell them how wrong they were about his true nature but still didn't bother to speak up. He just would listen to the terrible theories they came up.
"Niffty for fuck's sake why are you asking him shit?" Husk asked as he was annoyed why people seemed to forget the easiest thing to remember about the Slayer.
"Sorry I forgot! But we got information on him that in a way I was hoping we did get a response," Niffty responded.
"I don't know how that seems to be always forgotten," Husk said as he practically face-palmed himself.
"Well, at least we now have a name for you...even if it's quite the...name," Charlie said with a nervous laugh. She was hoping to learn his real name or a name that was a little more normal and not one that included slaying.
"I know that no one will fuck with a guy named the fucking Doom Slayer, hell I sure wouldn't," Angel said.
"For your sake, I wouldn't be surprised if others in hell figured this out too. Things tend to spread a bit quick in hell. It's a place of no big secrets," Vaggie mentioned.
He started to wonder how the rest of the realm would react to the logs. The main thing the Slayer thought was people would come up with more and more false conclusions about him. Or possibly, they would see him more of a bigger threat than he already was. He still wasn't scared if this entire realm decided to come after him, he'd encourage the challenge. He would now be skeptical of everyone in this realm, including the demons at the hotel. They may be considered allies now, but gaining the Slayer's complete trust was not easy.
"Yeah, yeah. But let's bring back the big shit about how you are from the future," Angel said. "Come on you gotta open that mouth of yours and tell us what the hell the future is like? Sure we won't fucking get to see it as we'll all probably have gotten fucked by an Exterminator or still be down here. But hey, it's still interesting to know."
As Alastor sat by himself, he began to think about something Charlie said earlier. "Well knowing my dad, he doesn't like people who obtain a lot of power that he can't control or keep in check. That's why I'm really hoping that my dad and the...Slayer do not meet face to face. I'm afraid to know what that outcome would bring." It was quite an interesting thought and really made him think. It could allow him to create some entertainment by creating a bit of chaos. He knew that this conversation wouldn't involve him anymore and would be rather pointless so he decided to slip away. And slip away he did as he used his power to face a man that he had not spoken to for a very long time.
Kingdom of Hell
And just like that, Alastor found himself right in the home of Lucifer Morningstar. It had been a while since he had last been here, in fact, it had been a while since Alastor and Lucifer saw one another face to face, so in a way, there could be a lot to talk about. As he walked through what could be considered the living room of the palace, he saw no sign of Lucifer. There was the possibility he caught him at a bad time when he was not home but he did not mind waiting. He slowly walked through the room as he simply admired the place. He looked at several paintings hanging on the walls as paintings always seemed to catch his eye. The one he was looking at now was another family portrait. Charlie did seem to be a bit younger in this one than she was at this current age.
"I have heard that on earth, people aren't too keen on others breaking into their homes unannounced. In fact, some are waiting for the day someone would try to so they can use their acquired weapons to punish the intruder for their actions. You'll come to know that in hell, things aren't so different," Lucifer said as he stood around ten feet behind Alastor.
"Oh come now Lucifer, you wouldn't go to all that trouble over me now would you?" Alastor asked as he turned his entire body to face Lucifer.
"Why not. Would be one problem out of the way," Lucifer responded.
"Tsk, tsk. You really need to liven up a little," Alastor said.
"Alastor. Why are you here?" Lucifer asked in a stern tone as he wasn't very amused right now.
"What? Can't just be on my daily stroll through the neighborhood and thought, 'why don't I take some time out of my day and visit my one and only king," Alastor said as he narrated a fake thought out loud for Lucifer to hear.
"I would figure that you are feeding me nothing but bullshit," Lucifer responded.
"Hm. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not," Alastor said.
"You still have not answered my original question. Why are you here? I would like to know because we haven't spoken in some time and all of a sudden you show up out of nowhere," Lucifer said. He was always wary of Alastor. There was usually always something else when it came to the Radio Demon.
"Curiosity," Alastor answered.
"You seem to always be curious about things. Weren't you ever told that too much curiosity is dangerous," Lucifer spoke still in a stern tone as he still wasn't in a joking mood.
"Where would every invention be today if someone wasn't the least bit curious about something? Our world would be quite boring if not for the idea of curiosity," Alastor responded.
"That is a valid point. But, I still believe you are ultimately dodging my question here. You still have yet to give me a straight answer. You said you are curious. Curious about what?" Lucifer asked as he felt like the game they were playing was getting old.
"I am curious about you," Alastor answered.
"About me?" Lucifer asked but he didn't respond in a tone that would dictate that he was caught off guard by that response. His tone was more of an annoyed tone of him not believing what Alastor was saying.
"Well, I suppose not just about you. About you and this...Doom Slayer," Alastor said as he caught himself almost going back to calling the Slayer "human."
"Oh perfect, someone else that wants to discuss the absolute intricacies of this human," Lucifer said as he practically groaned to himself.
"Oh? You seem quite troubled by that topic," Alastor said stating the obvious.
"Oh of course not. Why would I not be excited to talk about the same guy who nobody in this damn realm seems to stop talking about," Lucifer said with an obvious hint of sarcasm.
"Of course, they would. The demons in this fair realm seem to be obsessed with popular subjects," Alastor said.
"It appears that you do as well since you came into my home after all this time to simply talk about him," Lucifer responded.
"Fair point. But I was more interested in your opinions on him," Alastor said as he was getting more to the point now.
"Why should you care what I think about someone?" Lucifer asked.
"Oh come on Lucifer, don't be that way. It's been so long since we last conversed that you cannot blame me for being curious about your thoughts on the unthinkable," Alastor said. He was mainly trying to guilt-trip Lucifer in a way that would get him to answer.
"If you must know, I do not care for him very much," Lucifer answered.
"Hm. I had quite the feeling you wouldn't like him," Alastor said.
"I don't like him at all. All he has done is gotten on my nerves. So you'll probably guess my utter excitement when everyone won't stop talking about him and now YOU come here wanting to talk about him," Lucifer explained.
"Oh don't be so distasteful Lucifer. You cannot expect me to not be curious about your opinions of someone of his...caliber. Especially after the rumors about these voice memos that were distributed to the public. And after our first meeting, you tend to be a bit wary of powerful specimens," Alastor said.
Lucifer didn't respond after that. He then let out a sigh as he figured that Alastor was not going to just buzz off and leave so he figured he would share his thoughts with him to get this over with. "They are not rumors. I should know, as I was the first one to possess those voice logs."
"Really! Well how did you manage to acquire information of this human's life?" Alastor asked with a load of fake excitement to go with it.
"I have no fucking clue. I know you do not possess any type of technology but the logs seemed to appear out of thin air," Lucifer answered.
"I see," Alastor said trying to understand. "Well, you probably find that information quite interesting no?"
"I suppose. If I found that information months ago I would be really surprised. But now, It just seems to be a common thing. The impossible, the unlikely occurrence, and the extraordinary seem to revolve around this human. He continues to shatter logic that should be possible in hell. So like I said, he's done nothing but get on my nerves," Lucifer said as he was beginning to vent.
"I know he doesn't play well with others," Alastor said with a grin.
"No. No, he does not. I've tried things that would make anyone in this realm cower in terror and wouldn't make them even think to disobey me. But this damn human is actually fearless. I always thought the word was quite a laughing stock as no one is truly fearless," Lucifer said.
"Yes. He is also quite a ruthless killer too. I have seen a bit of him in action," Alastor added.
"I am more than aware of that," Lucifer said sounding as Alastor telling him that statement didn't strike him as surprising, especially since he listened to the logs.
"Yes. Although...your daughter doesn't seem to mind," Alastor said with a smile.
That made Lucifer's mind stop as that was something he didn't expect to hear. That almost sounded like Alastor was insulting him and his daughter. He slowly turned his head and gazed at Alastor with a confused and stern glare. "What is that supposed to mean."
"Oh were you not aware? Yes, I am afraid your daughter has offered a room to the large fellow at the marvelous hotel she runs. I'm sure you remember it right? I mean you are the true owner of it," Alastor responded.
"What?! NO I DIDN'T KNOW that!" Lucifer responded. He caught himself as he let a bit of his true demonic side out.
"Hm, and here I thought you were supposed to know everything," Alastor responded. Although that probably wasn't the best time for a joke.
"Don't play me Radio Demon," Lucifer said as his demonic tone still remained.
"I assure you I am playing no games here," Alastor said to try and calm Lucifer down. A fight here would be too much of a hassle for Alastor.
"Why. Why is that man at a hotel made for fucking redemption? His soul couldn't have any possibility to be redeemed if that were even POSSIBLE IN THE first place!" Lucifer asked.
"I can tell you he is not there for any sort of redemption. Just the generosity of Charlie I suppose," Alastor said with a shrug.
"What has he been doing? Has he harmed her?" Lucifer asked. It seemed as if his extreme distaste for his daughter's hotel seemed to be out the window knowing this news.
"No, no, no. No harm has been found upon her, at least not yet anyways. There have been a few...close calls," Alastor responded. He was clearly exaggerating some of the events that occurred at the hotel.
Lucifer didn't say a word to that. He then turned away from Alastor and began thinking to himself. Alastor merely looked at him and leaned on his cane waiting to see what Lucifer was going to say or do next. Lucifer then opened his mouth and took the conversation to a little different topic. "For all of her life, I have taught her what our world is like. How to survive, how to command. But through all, I have taught her she just loves to put herself into bad situations. Defying me by coming up with this idiotic idea to take sinners away from me through redemption, making a mockery of herself on live tv, and now inviting the most dangerous I have ever laid eyes on to stay under the same roof as her. The man clearly contains extreme power and could slaughter her in an instant. Then what?"
"It is not impossible. But with that way hell works she'll come back," Alastor said with a shrug.
"I DON'T KNOW THAT!" Lucifer shouted as he whipped his body around to face Alastor. "You know it as well as I do that this Doom Slayer has done nothing but the impossible. I have heard that he slain demons in this realm and haven't heard anything from the ones he killed. What if when he kills something it DOESN'T COME BACK."
Alastor usually had something clever to say back or something to say to calm someone down but he had nothing this time. Lucifer did bring up a point that nobody could know for sure.
"This is nothing but a risk Charlotte is taking. It was bad enough when she decided to partner up with you, but now I have to think about HIM too," Lucifer said with a small diss to Alastor.
"Hm yes. But what shall you do now?" Alastor asked.
"I think I need to take a visit back to the hotel," Lucifer responded.
Heaven
Sitting down on a chair jamming out was Adam. He was quite bored at the moment so sitting out in heaven's atmosphere while strumming his guitar was a good way to pass the time. He always found there to be a bit of downtime after an extermination had happened. From the days leading up to it was always busy as he was in charge of leading the "charge." To him, it was another successful cleanse. At least he thought so. His jam session came to a halt as he spotted one of his exorcists flying down and landing on the balcony. He was on the very top floor of his place so taking the stairs was not always the first choice for a flying creature.
"Ah there you are! Exorcist of the HOUR," Adam said in a loud and arrogant voice.
"Greetings Adam," spoken by Lute, one of Adam's top Exorcists and one of his good friends.
"OH COME ON LUTE WHAT DID I TELL YA? You don't gotta be so DAMN formal with me," Adam said with a grin as he placed his guitar on the floor and leaned it against the balcony.
"Right, right. I get so used to being formal around others that I forget that you don't care about it," Lute responded.
"Hell no. Speaking in some formal ass voice ain't gonna end the world. So, what can I do for you on this FINE day?" Adam asked as he sat back in his chair.
"I have come to talk to you about some things," Lute responded.
"Oh boy, I hope it's not some BORING ass shit. What did God give me some super TASK? Or was it some boring task from the good old elders," Adam asked as he wanted to enjoy his day not doing a boring task. But he did deem most tasks as boring.
"Oh no, no, nothing like that. I come with some...rather big information," Lute responded. Her tone and body language seemed quite serious.
"Oo? Big information huh? Well god damn tell me. Did we kill a big name in Hell? Is it Lucifer? We killed Lucifer didn't we?" Adam asked as he was hyping himself up hoping that was the response he got.
"I do not believe we slaughtered Lucifer. Apparently, a good portion of our Exorcists are finding themselves a bit...frightened. Could even call some of them traumatized," Lute explained as that was something she didn't want to admit.
"HUH? This has to be a fucking joke right? What the hell could have them so frightened?" Adam asked.
"Apparently there are some...things going around after last the latest cleanse," Lute said but chose to call it rumors instead of a factual statement as he wasn't convinced it was real.
"How the hell are they frightened after the BEST GOD DAMN DAY OUT OF THEM ALL? I mean we have the best fucking job in the universe and I know how much they love it as well," Adam said as he still wasn't understanding.
"According to them, something happened. And we now have evidence to back up their claims," Lute said.
"Well go ON, spit it out already," Adam said as he didn't feel like guessing.
"I'm not sure if you were aware but once all the Exorcists returned I noticed something a little off. It seemed like our numbers were a little slimmer than usual. I ended up finding out from many other Exorcists that a large portion of our forces was killed in hell, much, much, more than we've ever seen before," Lute explained.
"Large portion?" Adam said as he didn't expect to hear that. "How many are we calling a large portion? Like five? ten? Twenty?" He asked as any number over that was way too much.
"It seemed to push more towards fifty," Lute answered.
"FIFTY?! What in the FUCK Lute? How the fuck did we lose fifty fucking Exorcists?" Adam asked as that was not the number he expected to hear. "What demon did all that damage? Was it Lucifer? Did we at least get the bitch?"
"They don't know for sure if it was a demon," Lute responded.
"WHAT the HELL do you mean they don't know? If it was in hell, it's probably a demon. It ain't rocket science," Adam said.
"Let me show you what we have found," Lute said wanting Adam to follow him into the actual office. Adam closed the doors behind him so the room could be dark. Lute used the projector to show Adam the evidence. Adam began to see many pictures taken from Hell from the countless dead bodies of the fallen Exorcists.
"What...in...the..fuck?!" Adam exclaimed after seeing so many of these pictures. As he saw the state of the bodies, it filled him with some anger and confusion. "I mean...look at this shit. How did that even manage to happen? What fucking demon or demons did that shit?"
"That is the thing sir. I was angry when I saw this too and demanded to know who was responsible for this but...what I got from the others was not what I was expecting," Lute answered as she was preparing to show him something else.
"Like what?" Adam questioned. He then saw a picture of the described man. The Doom Slayer himself. If Adam wasn't confused before, he definitely is now. "What the tits? Who the...who the FUCK is that cunt?"
"I didn't know what to make of that either. According to them, he did not possess any features of a demon. No extra appendages, extra eyes, horns, limbs, abnormal height, abnormal skin or skin color. The picture does seem to back up those claim. They believe he was a human," Lute explained.
"HA! OKAY, NOW I know you're pulling my leg Lute. That is fucking impossible," Adam said as he made himself laugh.
"Look I know that seems impossible but if you really take a good look at this person...it does have a resemblance," Lute responded.
Adam stopped laughing and his mood changed to a more serious one. He began to squint his eyes and looked at the photo of the Slayer. Now while it wasn't a close up look, it did look like it could be a possible human. "This is really what the hell they told you?"
"It is. They told me that a man in green armor was responsible for all the deaths. They didn't mention any other demon, just him," Lute answered.
"Man in green armor? Hah, what did they get killed by a fucking power ranger or something? Nah, nah, I still DO NOT buy this shit whatsoever. There is no way that one singular fuck did all this shit. There is just no way." Adam said as he started to do some thinking. "Are the fine ladies saying the same thing as well?" Adam asked. He was a guy who had quite a thing for women and loved to control them.
"Um. Yes, I suppose they are too," Lute responded as she figured he just meant if the female Exorcists were saying that.
"Well fuck! I GUESS I have to believe it now," Adam said in a bit of a joking manner. He then picked up his guitar and began to strum a few cords to help him think. "BUT...BUT...let me just throw in a hypothetical here. If...in some weird fucking way some human is in hell, how the hell was he able to kill FIFTY EXORCISTS and not die?"
"I cannot come up with an answer for that. I still am not believing this to be true either. I feel like there has to be more to it," Lute added.
"Well hell yeah! WHY the hell should you or I believe that is true? I know I never saw some green man killing Exorcists, did you?" Adam asked referring to when he and Lute were too busy killing the demons.
"Nope," Lute answered.
"Exactly. How-How am I supposed to believe that a HUMAN IS powerful enough to kill Exorcists? I mean those puny, weak bastards probably couldn't even use a spear," Adam said creating a scenario. Clearly, he didn't know how big the human was.
That made Lute laugh a bit. "Very true. But. We've never had that many Exorcists die and THAT seems like some of our Exorcists were weak and not ready. I'm going to give them some hell so this shit doesn't happen again."
"Yes. I suppose that having fifty Exorcists die is not something to just slide under the rug and fucking forget," Adam said. He then pondered a thought before speaking again. "Lute Ima need you to do a favor for me. Round up all the Exorcists and send them to the training grounds. I want to hear what the fuck they have to say about this green man. And like you suggested, maybe we need to do a bit more training if we lost THAT MANY Exorcists to a damn human," Adam ordered.
