I swear I'm still working on the next chapter of Courier in Night City but this is one plot bunny that just won't leave me alone. It's keeping me up at night, seriously I'm writing this part at 1am.
Anyway, you might notice in this chapter I don't explain how Nate got into hell, that is because it's related to a major plot point I have planned down the line. It's just the way I want to tell this story.
Anyway I do not own, Fallout or Hazbin Hotel, they are owned by Bethesda and Viziepop respectively.
Chapter 1: Settlement in Hell
Nathan Anderson, the Sole Survivor of Vault 111, the savior of the Commonwealth, and the founder of the United Commonwealth Alliance, or UCA for short, was wearing his patrolman sunglasses as well as his Architect's Winter Jacket (from the Neon Flats Creation Club), at his hip was his MTS-255 revolver shotgun (Basically, The Ghoul's gun from the show) smoking a cigar, staring up at the blood red sky with a pentagram hovering over the whole city. Oh yeah did I mention he was in hell?
"Mr. Anderson, come over here you gotta check this out." But that's a story for later as his newest Traveling companion is calling him. He goes over to see what the fuss is about, he pulls out his gun and points it to his side and fires, blowing up a sinner that was just running at him with a knife, before joining his companion at a wall of TVs.
"Is she singing?" Nathan asked his companion.
"I know isn't that hilarious?" said his companion who spoke a voice like he was talking through a radio. He was also carrying a cane withe microphone at the end and wore a red suit that matched his red skin, and he had a creepy smile, but that was his default face.
"I gotta say though, redemption seems like a noble goal," said Nathan smoking his cigar some more, before shooting at another would be assailant.
"More like bull goal am I right?" said his companion when the girl on tv who was just singing was now in a fist fight with the news anchor.
Nathan sighed and shot at another would be mugger, "She looks like she could use her help with this project, I think we should go help her out."
"Well why not? It might make for some great entertainment," said his demon companion.
"Alright Alastor, to the Happy Hotel," Said Nathan chucking his cigar, and shooting another would be mugger.
"Onward Mr. Anderson," said the now named Alastor.
Nathan was twirling an Angel dagger he had picked up when he arrived here, he arrived at the tail end of the extermination after all. He wondered how those girls were doing. But that's a tale for another time for he was arriving at the hotel. Alastor decided to knock on the door. The woman from the tv answered and here eyes widened on seeing Alastor.
"Hell..." Alastor was able to get out before she slammed the door. Later after opening it Alastor finished his word, "o," before she slammed the door again.
Nathan lit up another cigar and smoked it, "You have a reputation don't you?" he asked.
Alastor just smiled, whether it was a proud smile or a sheepish smile was unknown to Nathan.
Nathan sighed as he blew out a puff of smoke, "Maybe let me do the talking," he said.
"By all means be my guest," Alastor said doing a mock bow.
Nathan went to knock on the door only for to be opened by the lady giving a determined look (and he notices she is also a couple inches taller than him) only for it to turn into a look of confusion.
Charlie was confused, she was about to confront the radio demon only to now see a human man, in his 40s she'd guess, 2 inches shorter than her, with a goatee, and sun glasses.
"I am still here by the way," said the Radio demon who suddenly leaned in from the side causing Charlie to shriek and fall backwards at the suddenness.
The human proceeded to facepalm, "Dammit Alastor I said to let me do the talking!" he said.
"May we come in?" asked the man holding his hand out, "I'm Nathan Anderson by the way."
Charlie accepted his hand as he helped her up, "Um sure," she said nervously, this Nathan Anderson definitely seems the honest sort, might as well here what he has to say.
"You got an ash tray?" he asked, "I'd rather not smoke in your hotel, or litter."
Charlie pointed to a nearby table where Vaggie was sitting.
Thanks said Nathan as he deposited his cigar in the ash tray and Alastor came in as well.
"Now we would like to help you with your hotel," said Nathan.
Vaggie gave a skeptical look.
"Okay I would like to help you with your hotel, I'm not sure about Alastor, in fact he's mostly here because he insists on sticking with me," said Nathan sheepishly.
"I'm just here to be entertained," said Alastor.
Alastor decided to start discussing thins with Charlie already giving up on letting Nathan do the talking.
"Ugh. I need a drink," said Nathan activating his Pip-Boy and pulling out a bottle, earning a stink eye from the one eyed woman. "Relax it's a soda," he said showing her it was indeed Nuka Cola. She looked less angry now.
"So what's the deal with Smiles?" asked the fluffy spider guy, and the woman explained the story of Alastor how he came out of nowhere taking out a bunch of overlords and was the Radio Demon.
"He looks like a strawberry pimp," said the spider demon causing Nathan to spit his drink and wheezing, "Sorry," said Nathan, "I just was not expecting that."
"Well anyway I don't trust him," said eyepatch woman.
"To be fair do you trust any man?" asked the spider demon being snarky.
"I've seen enough that I don't blame you," said Nathan, "Besides trust is something that has to be earned."
"You realize that includes you as well," said the Eyepatch woman.
"You've known me for 5 minutes and this is hell, I'd be concerned if you did trust me already," said Nathan, causing the eyepatch woman to relax just a bit.
Vaggie then went to Charlie and started to talk to her who then proceeded to talk to Alastor, suddenly Nathan noticed a green glow which caused him to instinctively reach for his gun, something the eyepatch woman noticed.
Charlie backed up quickly, "No no, no hand shakes no deals, in fact as princess of hell and heir to the throne, I hearby order you to help with this hotel... for however long you desire," she said.
"Hmm, fair enough," said Alastor, making Charlie relax as well as Nathan, he could not get a read on Alastor.
"So where is your hotel staff?" He asked.
Charlie nervously gesture to the eyepatch woman.
"Hah you're gonna have to do more than that," said Alastor before going to the spider demon, "And what can you do my effeminate fellow," he asked.
"I can suck your dick," said the spider demon.
"HAH! No," said Alastor, with the spider demon not bothered.
"Well this just won't do," said Alastor, "I suppose Mr. Anderson could act as a handyman/security guard," he added. "I am good at fixing things and building things," Nathan threw in.
"And I suppose I can call in a few favors to liven up the place," Alastor added before sending a spark at the fire place with a soot covered ball appearing. Alastor picked up the ball and an eye appeared. "This little fellow is Nifty," said Alastor before the little creature dropped to the ground clear of soot, "Hello I'm Nifty. Wow I've never had so many new friends before, why are you all women though? Except for soldier boy there. Wow this place is messy it could really use a lady's touch which is weird because you're all ladies, again except for soldier boy," said Nifty and she proceeded to start sweeping.
Then a cat demon appeared who was annoyed at Alastor, "You!" he shouted, apparently he was about to win big at gambling, of course Alastor being himself didn't care.
They argued until Alastor put the now named Husk at the front desk, and put up some cheap booze. "You thin you can win me over with winking smile, and some cheap booze!" shouted Husk, "Because it's working."
The eyepatch woman started to argue before the spider demon intervened.
Charlie was so excited at the cat demon and Alastor was excited to be entertained and then he started singing.
The eyepatch woman walked up to Nathan, "Might as well get the remaining introductions out of the way, I'm Vaggie and the man whore is Angel Dust," she said. Nathan smiled, "As I mentioned I'm Nathan Anderson, I look forward to earning your trust."
"So you understand why that have trouble trusting men," she said.
"Hey I little girl once told me to save her friend from a building and I found out that she was luring me into a trap and I ended up a slave, had to fight my way out with my bare hands, so I can respect you for not blindly trusting me right away," said Nathan.
Suddenly the wall was blown open by some kind of airship that reminded Nathan of the Prydwen, only this was piloted by a snake demon who apparently thought he was a Saturday morning cartoon villain.
"What a surprise look who I find harboring the striped one! We meet again Alastor!" he shouted.
"I'm sorry do I know you?" asked Alastor cheekily, which got a chuckle out of Nathan.
"Yes you do," the snake demon said before he started monologuing and canon appeared.
"I'm gonna need a bigger gun," said Nathan going to his pip-boy before he felt Alastor's hand on his shoulder, "Please allow Mr. Anderson after all I need to protect my investment." With that Alastor snapped his fingers and a portal opened and a bunch of tentacles came out and dragged the ship through as the snake demon was screaming.
"Well now," said Nathan, "Looks like my first job as Handyman is to fix this wall, I'm gonna be here a while."
(Elsewhere)
G-man a Kingpin in hell was meeting with someone who wanted to meet with him, very shady. His sinner form resembled a T-45 power armor with a minigun for a right arm. In life he was a raider named Gristle, who died by some guy in Concord.
He entered the building with ominous lighting and a hooded figure behind some strong glass.
"Hello G-man," said the figure before a slot opened up and a photo came out, "I'd like your help in tying up a loose end for me, I believe you'll be familiar with the target."
G-man looked at the photo, and the figure was right, it was the bastard from Concord.
"Oh I know that bastard alright, but first tell me your name, so I know who to go after if you backstab me!" said G-man.
"Very well," said the hooded figure, "My name is Doctor Crowley."
And that is the first chapter done. I actually planned to have Doctor Crowley appear later, but he's also gonna be the main villain on the Fallout side so I thought I should give him more of a presence so he's more built up. I had quite a few side plots planned out for this. Also in case if anyone is concerned Alastor referring to Nathan as Mr. Anderson isn't a sign of respect but rather it's a joke on his part in the form of a reference. I will also be referencing a bunch of mods in this fic, you already saw one of them in the form of the MTS-255 Revolver shotgun. I also plan to have references to Sim Settlements 2 and the Thuggyverse mods (Depravity, Outcasts and Remnants, Fusion City Rising, and Project Valkyrie) plus some of Toro Montana's mods.
And since this is fan fiction, I'll put out some shipping options since many people like that.
Cherri
Emily
Barb (Blitzo's sister in Helluva Boss)
A character in Fallout that will remain unnamed for now
And maybe Charlie while she is also still with Vaggie
The Fallout character is someone who appeared in project Valkyrie, so that's a hint.
And I originally wasn't gonna make Charlie an option, but I read a fic that did it well, so I thought I'd give it a try if people wanted it.
Oh one more thing, no harems, I feel I'm already pushing it with Charlie.
