Hazbin Hotel: Hellish Misfits

Chapter 5: Radio Killed the Video Star

Hazbin Hotel
Main Lobby

James was sitting down in a chair, with Keekee in his lap, being petted by him, as the little one was enjoying it. Though James was looking at a frantic Charlie, as Vaggie and Lydia were present in the scene, also seeing the princess panicking. Ever since Adam made the choice of halving the time for the next Extermination, not Charlie's fault, Charlie had been panicking to think of a way to make the hotel work. And honestly... she was starting to lose it bad.

"Okay," Charlie began thinking, while also slowly begin to panic. "So, the extermination is coming in six months instead of a year. No big deal. Just a little setback. Nothing we can't handle. Just angels cutting our timetable in half. But who needs a whole year to save souls? Am I right?!" She was starting to panic now as she was freaking out more, as James got up, putting Keekee in Lydia's lap, as he walked over, "And next time when they cut the time in half again, and again, we'll just handle it, right?!"

"Charlie," he said, holding her in place as they looked eye-to-eye, "You have to calm down. Panicking won't help solve the problem."

"He's right," Vaggie said. "We'll think of something. We always have."

"Oh, please, ya had less than half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit, And now," Angel Dust began to say only for his phone to go off with the ringtone going 'fucking bitch,' "Ain't no silver lining this time toots."

"You know I hate agreeing with the porn star, but he makes a pretty good point," Lydia added as she was looking at their situation from a realistic point of view, "Based on what you and James told us yesterday, the angels will never listen to us with that jerk Adam representing them. It will take a miracle for us to survive this one."

"Then we'll just have to make a miracle happen," Charlie said as she strove to stay positive, "We just... have to look a little harder than before."

"Well, while you're lookin', the rest'a hell's goin' nuts," Angel said, as he waved his phone in their faces. "People are already freakin' out about the news. Look at what's happenin' in the Doomsday District." He scrolled down an article with the bottom showing a demon screaming in front of a fire. Suddenly a pink message appeared, as Charlie got closer to read it.

Charlie arched an eyebrow, as she was confused, "Err, what is a...Donkey Show?"

Both Lydia and James blushed and looked wide eye at this shock, as Angel panicked and retreated the phone back, "Aah, heh, nothin'. My boss, Val, is just freaked out about the news too. Like I said, everyone's losin' their shit."

Vaggie then realized that Angel Dust was right, "Yeah, that's true. Sinners are desperate." She then looked at Charlie and suggested, "Maybe desperate enough to try anything to escape the extermination?"

"Vaggie's right! With the threat of death, a lot of demons would probably do anything to escape being killed," Lydia added.

Charlie gasped, as she shot to the trio, as Dan slithered in, "This is the perfect time to recruit more sinners for the hotel!"

"Cute idea and all," Angel replied, as he waved the phone with the place still on fire and demons in a panic, "... but you really gonna go out in all of this?"

James sweat dropped, as he sighed, "I hate to admit it, but he's right."

"Yeah, man," Dan replied as he sat down, "Guys like us don't just show up at the doorstep."

Suddenly, an explosion occurred catching everyone by surprise as the hotel shook. They turned to see a freshly made hole in the wall.

Outside was a familiar looking airship in the air. It was Sir Pentious' airship fully assembled again after Alastor destroyed it the first time.

Dan blinked at this, and then looked up to the ceiling and called out, "Beautiful naked big-tittied succubi don't just show up at the doorstep!" He waited for a moment, while everyone looked at him like he had lost his mind, and he shrugged to them, "Worth a shot."

"Show yourself Alasssstor," Sir Pentious declared as his hood flapped open while he stood at the control center of his airship while the Eggboiz scrambled to keep the ship flying, "Come and face-"

Sir Pentious stopped when he realized that Alastor was already outside on the second-floor balcony, drinking tea.

"Oh, there you are," Sir Pentious said before resuming his speech, "Face my wrath!"

Alastor arched an eyebrow, as he asked, "Who are you?"

Sir Pentious looked in shock, as he proclaimed himself, "Who am I? Who am I?! I am the great Ssssssir Pentiousssss!"

While he did that, Alastor dissolved into fog as he descended to the ground, materializing aside Angel, Vaggie, Lydia, James, Dan, Bruce, and Charlie who were in the scene watching Sir Pentious' zeppelin, as he continued to rant, "Inventor, architect of dessstruction, villain extraordinaire!"

One of the Egg Bois shouted, "Ooh you tell 'em boss."

Niffty appeared on Alastor's right shoulder, clearly starstruck, as she smiled, "Oooooo, he's a bad boy~"

Alastor scooped Niffty up from his shoulder before he dropped her to the ground, saying, "Ha, well if all that's true, you'd think I'd have heard of you."

"I attacked you literally two days ago." Sir Pentious reminded, when Alastor first joined Charlie's hotel.

Alastor cocked his head to the side, no one knew if he didn't remember of if he's mocking the snake-sinner.

"We've done battle, like... 20 times!" Sir Pentious exclaimed, trying to jog Alastor's memory.

Alastor however shrugged, "Well, you must have been really bad at this."

"Silence!" Sir Pentious snapped before he ranted, "Now cower! For when I've ssslain you, the almighty Vees will finally acknowledge me as their equal. Esssspeccially over that newcomer who they Recruited!"

Niffty reappeared on Alastor's shoulder. "Ooh!" But then looked confused, as she asked Alastor, "Wait, who are the Vees?"

"Oh, nobody important," Alastor answered while stroking his chin, "But this new member might be worth looking into."

James looked to Alastor, and asked, "And this newcomer being?"

"What do you think he means?" Alastor asked, "He means someone who just arrived in Hell., much like you all."

Elsewhere

A large crowd is in front of a store as they watch an advertisement on the TVs facing the window showing off a spy drone, "New VoxTek designer voyeur scopes, Peeping on the neighbors has never been more stylish. VoxTek! Trust us with your money!"

The crowd immediately entered the store and stampedes out with boxes with voyeur scopes.

Throughout the city, random people watching their computers laptops and phones, and reveals their eyes signifying the work of hypnosis, "This week's episode of 'Yeah, I Fucked Your Sister, So What?' is brought to you by VoxTek. Trust us with your entertainment!"

Meanwhile in a dark room was a chair sitting in front of many monitors as the figure would tap their fingers as we enter a large room with TVs showing off numerous consumers as "trust us" repeats and overlaps. electricity courses as the TV-headed demon, Overlord, and leader of the triad Overlord known as The Vees, Vox, stood up from his chair laughing maniacally from his viewer's consumerism, "Muhahaha! Now that's good television!"

Suddenly his screen-face shifted to reveal an icon of Velvette, signifying she's calling, with a clown horn ringtone. Vox coursed the call from his screen to his hands, his hand via his electric powers, and transfers it to one of his many screens to reveal Velvette in her studio. Her hair into a large ponytail. Vox then sat down on his chair.

"Hello there, Velvette," Vox smiled at her. "How are you this hellish morning?"

"Cut the shit Vox." Velvette stated as she looked very annoyed, "I need you up here now!"

Vox looked at one of his screens as he gets his coffee cup and drinks from it while not seeming to care what Velvette needed.

"Whatever could be the problem, my dear," Vox asked while sounding laid back, "Don't tell me our new protege is too much for you to work with."

"Don't be a fucking idiot and no, that's not the problem. Your little boy toy is wrecking my department," Velvette answered sounding as though she wasn't in the mood for Vox's bullshit, "while I'm trying to pull together a show and-"

Suddenly, the sound of several workers running and a screaming was heard as objects (and body parts) were seeing broken in the background.

"FUCKING BITCH!" An angry voice, that Velvette and Vox knew as the third member of their group, Valentino filled the room as more things were broken and thrown all over.

"Just get your ass here, NOW!" Velvette said to Vox, "Damn it, Valentino! THAT SHIT IS EXPENSIVE!"

Elsewhere

Below the V Tower was the basement. A place long forgotten and a storage bin. But now it was converted into an R and D facility. At the moment, several new products and electronics were being built and discovered, while the sole occupant was at a workbench, adjusting his new lifestyle, while working on what would be the newest idea in V Tech.

It was the same sinner from before, but now had more an updated appearance. He now wore gray pants a black turtleneck shirt while he wore a blue trench coat with a style of business ware for the collar and sleeves, his back had two tuxedo coat tails, and the front side on the right was longer than the left, reaching down to his ankle, as his left side reached to his knee. It was blue as the shoulders were black, elbows were black as well with the cuffs having black but gold cufflinks on them, and he wore a fingerless black glove on his right hand. His exoskeletal body parts though were now more armored, as his legs looked to have armor boots and knee pads, and his entire left arm was one metallic armor-plated arm, with the hand having three fingers instead of four. His silver hair slicked back, while his empty right eye now had a metallic black cyber one, as he had a black armor brace on it, with a metallic left ear, and his left eye's iris glowing blue.

This was former Liam Lypton, now known as Vergil, the Tech Genius/Inventor of the Vs. As well as an unwilling sex toy for Valentino's more straight programs… and a lil' somethin' on the side for Velvette.

His right eye lit up red, as he snapped out of his work trance, and he stopped welding. He brought up his right hand as he pressed a button on his right thumb palm, as a holo-screen of Vox's face was present. His right eye glowed blue, as he looked to it, "Ah, Vox. How are you today? Thanks for snapping me out of my work daze. Anything you need?"

"Do you have any prototypes online?" Vox asked, his voice sounding annoyed.

"You know this takes time, and I'm working on the latest of Vox Wrist watch TVs you ordered," Vergil stated. "I was almost done with the last shipment to go out to sale for the Pride ring. But I doubt that's why you called me, is it?"

"There's a situation in your bitchy girl's department and Val's the cause." Vox told him being annoyed as he said it.

"And you want me to go with you to diffuse it, right," Vergil smirked.

Vox narrowed his eyes, before saying, "Your prototypes would be helpful to keep Val from doing something that ruins our reputation." But then Vox smirked at the newest member of the Vees, "But I'm sure that Velvette would love having her boytoy with her."

"Isn't that why she asked you to go to diffuse Val," Vergil said, as he reached the elevator, as he now stopped at Vox's level, and asked him, smiling at him, "He likes you better."

Vox rolled his eyes, "Look, you deal with Vel I'll deal with Val."'

The two went up, as Vergil smiled, "Until you need our help."

"And hopefully we can do this without screwing ourselves up with this new deadline..." He said entering his personal elevator up to the main floor, "Well here I go, another fucking day with Val... Hey, hey, hey...Fuck my life..."

Main Floor

At the main floor of the V Tower, a smiling Vox standee with the world bubble saying "trust us!", before opening to reveal the real frowning Vox sighing, and putting on a smile for a crowd of reporters that overlap one another before pointing their microphones to him.

"Mr. Vox! What are your thoughts about the new extermination deadline?"

Being a talented actor, Vox addressed the people, "My dear people! We at VoxTek Enterprises have always been at the forefront of innovation. And now, with this new oncoming threat, we are shifting our focus, with aid of our newest member and head of technologies, Vergil, to your protection. We are pleased to announce-"

A tv screen came down next to him and an ad featuring the VoxTek logo, now gold and with angelic wings, with the tagline reading-

"VoxTek Angelic Security is coming soon!" Vox announced, before he used his left eye and hypnotized the crowd as he said, "Trust us, with YOUR safety."

Vergil arrived up on the level, walking passed the dazed reporters, as he and Vox made their way to Velvette's studio.

A manager demon walked up to Vox and Vergil. "Um, sir when did we begin working on Angelic Security?"

"Thirty seconds ago," Vox answered as he and Vergil continued to walk forward, "Try to get that bitch Camilla on the books and cancel all my appointments today. I have a fire to put out upstairs."

As soon as he finished, Vox morphed his body into electricity and generated itself into the security camera on the wall leaving the manager demon and Vergil behind.

"Damn, that's handy," Vergil said with a grin as he headed for the other elevator that would take him directly to the penthouse suite where all the commotion was happening. "Perhaps I should make a device that will allow me to do that as well."

Velvette's Department

The staff cleans everything up after Valentino's rampage, as the head of the Modeling studio walked towards four fashion designers under her employ, she looks to four designers holding up dresses for her review, "Ugh, No. Unacceptable. You're fired."

When she got to the fourth designer, she asked, "What is this? WRIST RUFFLES?! What is this? 1750?! Burn it like the witches who wore it!"

As she sends the designer away, Vox appears next to her and said, "Velvette! I can see you're busy. Tell me, where's our hot-headed friend now?"

"Up in his room, waiting for a flat-faced prince to calm him down," Velvette angrily or annoyingly shot to Vox.

At that moment, Vergil walked in, as he approached the scene, asking, "So, what got Valentino so out of sorts today?"

"Who knows?! But he tore up my best model! And you know, the show can't wait for that unlucky bitch to pull herself back together! Melissa! Get over here," Velvette said before screaming at her intern.

Vergil then whispered to Vox, "Does she mean literally or..."

"She means literally. Sinners don't stay dead like Hellborns unless killed by Angelic weapons... Why do you think those from the extermination aren't getting back up and about?" Vox whispered back to the new V.

The unfortunate intern went and stood like a living mannequin for Velvette, who snapped her fingers for the intern's outfit began to change over and over on the intern while Velvette judged them, between snaps, "No. No. Hideous. I want to die. Eww."

She kept saying until she gasped in joy, finding the right one, "YES! That's the one!"

Vox smiled, "Well I see you have things here under control."

Velvette rolled her eyes at the compliment as she said, "Of course I do." Then flipped him off, "Fuck you! Just handle the piss baby!"

Vox then pushed Vergil towards Velvette, grinning knowingly, "And should you need anything else, fortunately you have your 'stress relief' here."

"I'd rather be stress relief for her than that crybaby in there," Vergil replied as Vox entered the room.

"I wonder if you'll be saying the same thing within the next hour," Velvette replied with a sinister grin as Vox entered Valentino's room.

"Now for the highlight of my day," Vox said sarcastically as he entered the room.

As he went up to Val's apartment, two she-moth demons would go and open the door for Vox.

As he entered, the room looked like a studio lounge room, complete with a 2nd floor and a viewing station. Though the center of interest was hidden in a mist of rose-pink smoke. Until the figure shot up, and revealed themselves.

He was a tall, slender moth demon, standing between 9 to 10 feet in height, with greyish-lavender skin and cerise-pink eyes, over which he was always depicted wearing gold-rimmed, heart-shaped sunglasses with cerise-pink lenses. His mouth full of sharp, cerise-pink colored teeth, with a single golden fang that sat to his far left of center, a feature he shared with one of his employees. He also had a long, pointed, cerise tongue. He had fluffy white fur with small red love-hearts around his neck that plumed up from his coat's break-line. He was bald with moth-like antennae; the right appearing like a large white with black heart striped feather while the left appears smaller and lacking the white areas. He had an extra set of arms just above his hips, and his hands and forearms were black. He had a pair of large vivid-red moth wings that featured white with black striped fur around the edges, while the interior was darker colored with several heart designs. They were usually wrapped around his body to form a floor-length coat with white fur at the wrists, as well as black and white striped fur trim down the center-front to the bottom hem and three white stripes on both hips. This coat was pinned with a gold chain and gold love-heart shaped broach fastenings at the breast. He wore a vivid-red top hat that had a wide, asymmetrical zebra-print hat-band, and a pair of high-heeled black shoes. He accessorized with a gold chain hung down to his chest, gold arm bands, each hand having one gold ring. and sometimes gold nail guards on his fingers.

This was Valentino, one of the Vs and was in charge of the porn studio industry. And was kind of a psychopathic bipolar freak.

"ABOUT FUCKIN' TIME," he spoke in a Hispanic accent. He looked to a robotic imp clown as he ordered it, "Kitty! Another drink!" The Robot stretched over to grab it, as he huffed.

Vox looked unimpressed as he stood there watching Val act like this, "What got you upset this time?"

"Ugh! Can you believe what that piece of shit did," Valentino exclaimed in anger, "THE UNGRATEFUL WHORE!"

Valentino tossed the drink towards Vox who moved out the way causing the drink to shatter against the door as shards of glass and the drink covered the door.

"Uh, which whore are we talking about this time," Vox asked Valentino, "You've had so many, it's hard to keep track. And I know you're not referring to our new recruit. I told you, he's off limits for that sort of activity."

"Fucking Angel Dust," Valentino yelled as he got up and walked to Vox in anger, "Who the hell else would I be talking about?!" Valentino walked past Vox who stood there watching his partner, "That fucking SLUT walked out on me! ME OF ALL PEOPLE," Valentino declared as he turned to face Vox which caused the TV demon to walk a little away from the other demon in the room. "Without me, he's just a bag of meat with some mildly entertaining holes."

"Oh! Angel Quit," Vox asked in surprised, "I wondered when he would break."

"NO! He didn't fucking quit! It's worse.! HE MOVED," Valentino shouted as he took Vox's phone and threw it against the way just to break something. Vox looked annoyed by this action. "He thinks he can just walk in here, work, and then go home somewhere else? Can you FUCKING believe that," Valentino continued as he walked straight for his closet, "He thinks he can run off and shack up with Lucifer's BIMBO daughter!"

"Angel is still living with Lucifer's daughter?" Vox asked in surprise. He knew Angel was unpredictable, but to think that slut would be living with Lucifer's daughter of all people, "I knew he had a lot of nerve, but after that stunt on the news cast last week. I'm amazed he's still tolerated there."

"YEAH! That BITCH Chuckie or Chandler, or I dunno," Valentino ranted, as he went to his closet to fish through for something, "Something mannish like that, she's got this hotel and—" His closet was full of guns, drugs, and pictures including a poster of himself. Valentino then brought out two long pistol guns: a long pink revolver, and a semi-pistol colored gold, as he smirked, "Which of these makes me look sexier?"

Vox chuckled as he knew full well Valentino would blow it. Literally. "Heh. What are you doing, Val? You're not going over there." As he spoke, his left eye started its hypnotizing spell, but Valentino was busy loading his guns, not caring enough to look at Vox.

"That slippery twink is gonna remember who owns him," He then loaded the guns fully and was about to head out, "I'm gonna FUCK everyone in that rancid shit hole, I swear to god!"

But before he finished, Vox grabbed him by the collar and shoved him to his face, clearly furious, as he shouted in distortion, "VAL.." He then calmed down, as he smiled, "Think about it." Vox then walks Valentino towards the window, taking one of his guns. "Our brand is, perfection. And what do you think chasing whores around town will, do for our image?"

Valentino thought on it as he honestly asked, "Um... fuck it up?"

"Right," Vox said, as he asked calmly, "Do you want people thinking you can't control your employees?"

"Hell no!" Valentino shouted back, knowing what that'd do to their business.

"Exactly," Vox smirked, "And hey, you still have him under contract. He isn't going anywhere! So... you should..."

Valentino arched an eyebrow, as he honestly answered, "...Do nothing?"

"Great idea," Vox cheered his friend, as his head made gameshow cheers, as he pinched the Moth-demon's cheek, "Now that's why they pay you the Big bucks."

Valentino pouted though, and whined, "Ugh. But I really wanted to shoot someone."

Vox then smirked lighting the cigarette holder that Vall pulled out, "So why don't I call up the Low budget holders?"

Valentino smiled at his friend, "Ohh, you know me too well." He chuckled and blew smoke, and smirked at what would soon come, "Ya know...Angel isn't the only one spending time at this Ratty Hotel with the devil's princessa."

Vox would turn from the desk and asked, "What someone who owes you money? I seriously doubt it."

Valentino chucked at Vox's last comment, "Someone who owes us much more than money..."
"The Radio Demon is there," Valentino revealed with a hint of satisfaction his voice.

The moment Vox heard that, electricity coursed through Vox's head, and he scratched the desk he was standing over so hard that it left deep scratch marks. Vox chucked ominously before turning to face Valentino with two red lines having appeared on the left side of his lower lip.

"What did you just say," Vox said in a distorted voice showing his growing rage.

"You heard me," Valentino replied not the least bit intimidated by Vox's distorted voice.

"Alastor... came back," Vox said as he voice began to glitch from the very mention of Alastor as he approached Valentino, "And he is with Lucifer's daughter, and that wasn't the FIRST FUCKING THING YOU TOLD ME," Vox yelled out in rage as he grabbed Valentino's collar while glaring daggers at the other demon.

Valentino, not the least bit intimidated freed his grip from Vox, "Hey! Killing Alastor is your kink," he answered, "It's not my fault you don't pay attention to the commercials."

"Speaking of Which," Vergil radioed them, as he said, "Velvette and I couldn't help but overhear your howling, so I tuned in, and take a look at this.."

Suddenly, the TV screen turned on, as it showed the Hazbin Hotel, using a few VoxTec drones to voyeur the scene before them. Once again, Alastor was using his powers to attack Sir Pentious zeppelin, laughing as he heard Pentious screaming.

"Arrgh! Oh! Please! Stop!"

Alastor was cackling loudly, as when he opened his eyes, his eyes seemed a bit crossed sideways, as he did. Though Charlie spoke up as she asked him to stop, as the others seemed nervous about going near him, "Um...Alastor! I think he's had enough."

"Nah. He's got a few more hits in him," Angel said, smirking.

Sir Pentious fell from the zeppelin in front of Alastor, face first on the ground. Alastor twirled his staff, as he bowed to him, "Thanks for another forgettable experience."

An Egg Boi fell and broke into pieces in front of Charlie and James. Sir Pentious struggled a bit, as he groaned, getting up, "Thank you..." And smirked, as his tail shot out to Alastor, "...for letting your guard down!" And grabbed a bit of Alastor's suit, as he cackled, "Haha! Yah!"

But then paled as Alastor's shadow loomed over him and he transformed in front of the cobra-sinner, as he gulped, "Oh, shit..."

The sound of an elk bugle was heard, as the next thing anyone saw was a massive green explosion. And shooting out of it, Sir Pentious was seen flying off to the city screaming as he disappeared from sight.

Everyone watched as they see him flying across the city, some were covering their eyes while Alastor said, "Well I'm off to the Tailor's good luck Chums."

Vaggie though argued, as she said, "Wait, you're LEAVING?! Alastor! We need your help! We need you to do your job."

Angel gestured to the hole on the wall, "We need a wall."

"Don't suppose you can summon a few of those shadow demons to help," James asked, politely. "Please?"

"Oh, of course! I wouldn't want my latest project to fail before taking off!" Alastor stated before snapping his fingers, "What would the papers say?"

Summoning the same shadow minions to repair the wall, just as he did when he had them be the camera crew yesterday. he then said, "Enjoy your day."

Lydia waved to him, "Hurry back soon. Clint's making your mom's Jambalaya."

Alastor froze before saying, turning to Lydia, "My dear. I would never miss that."

Angel Dust giggled as he leaned against the wall where one of the demons was working, "Hey, sweet cheeks. Whatcha doin' later," Angel asked in a seductive tone, "I love me a man with a giant... tool."

"I beginning to wonder if there's anyone he wouldn't sleep with," Clint whispered to Bruce who stood there in silence, "Yeah man, I know."

Back at the tower, Valentino scowled at the events on the tv while leading his face against the screen.

"You see?! Look how he flirts with that guy, and he's not even paying," Valentino exclaimed in jealousy, "Who is that? I'm gonna fucking kill his whole fucking family! Vox?" Valentino waited for a reply but didn't receive one. "VOX," the porn demon shouted while slamming his fist against the desk.

Vox however wasn't paying any attention to Valentino as his left pupil turned into a tilde as he focuses his attention on Alastor as he was leaving the hotel. Vox's appearance was beginning to become like static and out of focus as the screen he was watching stated to show static as well.

"That FUCKER is back," Vox shouted as his voice continued to glitched.

Valentino grinned, as he realized the situation and walked to him, "Yeah! I thought he was gone for good too!"

Vox shouted, "It's been seven years!"

Valentino leaned up to him and pinched his cheek, Vox clearly too pissed to care, "You still pissed that he almost beat you that time?"

Vox shot out, "Uh, FUCK YOU!"

"Just saying," Valentino said, as he walked around him.

"Things have changed a lot since he left town," Vox said.

"THAT'S for sure," Valentino smirked.

Vox then stormed off to get ready, for what was to come, 'I gotta send a message of who's REALLY in charge of things now!"

Vox left faintly hearing Valentino's chuckle as the leader of the Vees entered technical office with a new sense of motivation for the day.

Welcome home! I'm gonna make you wish that you stayed gone, he sang as the television demon sat on his throne as electricity coursed through his arms as he stared at his monitors with glee, Say hello, to a new status quo.

Vox pressed a button as cords latch themselves to the plug ins on the back of his head allowing him to connect with the tv networks all through Hell. Everyone knows that there's a brand, new dawn, turn the TV on!

The director called out, "Camera, speeds, rolling in three, two..."

Suddenly, a chorus went off, as Vox was on a News channel, Welcome to the show!

Vox turned to the viewers, as he smiled, Top of the hour and we're discussing a certain has-been who has been spotted cavorting around town after a seven-year absence.

He asked his co-star, which was a digital copy of himself, Did anybody miss him, did anybody notice? More on tonight's program.

So, the Radio Demon is back in town! His double looked as he asked, Why is he hanging around? What does that mean for your family?

The news Vox smirked as he said, Well, handily, I've got good news!*

The scene shifted to show Vox standing in a blue background singing to his audience, He's a loser, a fossil, and I don't mean to sound hostile

But the demon is a coward!

You can take that as gospel Vox said it as he was dressed as a priest on a televangelist.

Pulling my viewers? Impossible!

I'm visual, he's barely audible!

Stop giving him the time of day!

Don't listen to a word he'd say.

Vox was dressed in a yacht captain uniform while the ship would explode and he saluted it, before he tore his unform off to reveal his regular outfit underneath.

I hope he had a nice vacay!

But he should have stayed away!

Pentagram City, Alastor had just finished getting his coat tailored. He noticed the crowd watching the advertisement of Vox in the TV shop, and noticed Vox was having him as the main story. He smiled and walked away with an idea. as Vox continued.

While he hid in radio, we pivoted to video! On a cooking show, Vox pulled out a deer's head, as he smirked, And now his medium is getting bloody rare!

In the V Tower, he twirled and raced over to his co-teammates. Hell's been better since he split

He looked to Val, Velvette, and Vergil, Where's he been? Who gives a shit?

The other Vees gave him weirded looks as Vox had a stressed look on his flatscreen face.

Meanwhile at the Hotel Alastor spoke from his Radio Box, "Salutations, good to be back on the air!"

His shadow put the radio back in its place next to Vox's TVs and the crowd moved to listen much to Vox's Chagrin, "Yes I know it's been a while with someone with style treated Hell to a broadcast! Sinners Rejoice!"

Vox only shouted, What a dated voice!

"Instead of a clout chasing mediocre video podcast." Alastor shot back still grinning.

"Is Vox insecure, pursuing allure?"

"Flitting between this fad and that."

"Is nothing working?" Alastor sung while keeping smug with his 'rival'.

IGNORE HIS CHIRPING!

Alastor smirked, Every day he's got a new format!

Vox corned him all around as he shouted, YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE FUTURE!

He's the shit that comes before that!

Throughout the entire city, Sinners all heard Alastor's voice speaking through the radios put up,

"Is Vox as strong as he reports?"

"Or is that his support?"

He'd be powerless without the other Vees At the tower the other three members happened to hear that as both Velvette and Valentino glanced at each other before giving knowing smirks, while Vergil was confused.

"OH PLEASE!" Vox shouted, furious at that implication

Alastor leaned into the radio as he revealed grinning, And here is the sugar on the cream, He asked ME to joined his team

"HOLD ON!" Vox shouted zapping before the radio, even though it was just the radio on the screen as Alastor revealed to everyone, I said no, and now he's pissy! That's the tea!

As Alastor continued with his radio broadcast, Vox was getting so pissed that his screen face was starting to glitch with anger rising, and showed in his voice, You ooo-oo-old timey PRICK! I'll show you s-s-s-s-suffering!

Uh Oh! The TV is buffering! Alastor just wouldn't let up as he was enjoying Vox's glitching.

The signal was now breaking up as Vox was losing it. Big time,I'LL DESTROY YOOOOU-YOU—

The camera head couldn't get anything loaded, and Vox let out an outburst that overloaded everything from the TV screens to Valentino and Velvette's phone to everywhere in Pentagram City, causing a citywide blackout with the exception of the Hazbin Hotel with its independent power source.

I'm afraid you lost your Signal! Alastor sung as his radio signal was unaffected, caused by his TV rival.

The air around the radio box changed drastically as Alastor sung into the mic the humor loss in his voice, Let's begin!

As he continues to sing, he slowly transformed into his Full-demon form, starting with his Antlers, I'm gonna make you wish that I stayed Gone!

Tune on in! He sung placing his staff down, his body becoming longer and wider around the shoulders, When I'm done, your status quo will know it's race is run!

His eyes now became dials again as his mouth grew wider and a X shaped scar appeared on his forehead, like when he destroyed Pentious' blip the first time as he remarked, Oh. This. Will. Be. Fun!

The only thing that Vox could see was the outline of his rival's face as well as his dial eyes And the let out a short evil laugh before the signal was cut out.

Vox, staring at this in stunned silence would lean back and wail at Alastor's still powerful and, possibly, popularity, "FUUUCCK!"

V Meeting Room

After spending hours of getting the power, and his signal, back across the entire city, Vox called an emergency meeting of the Vees and Vox bluntly told them, "We have a big problem..."

"Aside from you two losing it," Vergil asked, pointing to both Vox and Valentino, the latter flipping Vergil off.

Turning to his colleagues, He explained, "Alastor's getting close to Princess Morningstar, so our main concern is that smiling freak hasn't struck any deals with Lucifer's little brat!" Slamming his fist down on the table for emphasis.

Vergil shrugged, as he asked, "Why's that such a big deal?"

Vox would shout, "BECAUSE!" he then cleared his throat, smiling at the latest member "I know you haven't been around long Vergil, but try to understand. The more souls that Alastor has under his thumb, or worse, have them do something as part of any deals would be bad, especially if they're the princess, she might be a bleeding heart, but she would've obviously inherited the power from her father."

"And it's because we say so," Valentino smirked.

"Imagine any power and influence that might remain with the royal family, especially with the Seven Deadly Sins or... her godfather..." Vox said shivering at the thought.

"Who's her Godfather," Vergil asked, never knowing this from the bible or Hell mythology on Earth.

"He's dressed and acts like a shitty magician, but his magic's better than anyone I know of in Hell..." Vox said getting up to look at his shark tank, "And his loyalty is only his brother Lucifer, almost as crazy as a fanatic... To prove my point, he's an angel who chose to fall instead of being kicked out... His name is Azazel."

"Oh," Vergil blinked, but then turned to the others as Kitty served him a drink, "So any ideas on how to deal with Alastor? Or at the very least take care of this um... Hazbin Hotel?"

"Put something inside them, That's how I get the bitches to behave." Val remarked as he put glue on his revolver to bling out his pistol.

Vergil sighed, as he looked to him, "Not everyone is a porn star, Valentino."

Val then flipped him off with his other hand while Vox said, "maybe someone on the inside isn't such a bad idea."

Looking at the moth demon he asked, "you think Angel will do it?"

Valentino sighed sadly, as he knew that wouldn't work, "That lanky prick won't even return my calls."

Vox rolled his eyes, "We need someone Little Miss Bleeding Heart will take in."

Velvette stated the obvious, "Someone...pathetic, desperate, with no direct ties to us?"

"And if they get caught, someone disposable," Vergil stated.

"Who," Valentino asked. "I employ every down on their luck loser this side of Hell. Who the fuck is left?"

Vox walking around to look at his sharks chuckled and slowly turned to his colleagues, "I think... I have just the one." His left eye going into its Hypnotic effect while the sharks swim behind him.

Hours Later
Hazbin Hotel

Back at the hotel, the ink demons were currently fixing the hole in the wall as Charlie and Vaggie returned along with James accompanying them. Charlie threw herself onto a couch, exhausted. James sighed, as he crashed on a chair, as he groaned from all this. Angel was sitting across another couch, as he saw them, and figured he would have to ask.

"Soooo? How'd it go," he honestly asked them.

James looked to him, as he asked, "What do you think?"

Vaggie sighed, "Not a single new recruit."

Angel scoffed, as he shrugged, "Yeah well, who would wanna use their last days not fucking and fighting?"

Suddenly a knocking was heard at the door.

As Angel checked his phone, Vaggie walked over to it and opened the door, only to find Sir Pentious holding his hat.

He smiled, as he waved to her, "Why, hello my dear..."

But Sir Pentious was cut off by Vaggie punching him in the face. He fell when Vaggie brought out her spear at him. He cowered in fear with the tip barely at his neck, and held a peace sign gesture, as he pleaded, "Wait, wait, wait! I come in peace."

Vaggie then growled, demanding, "What are you doing here?"

Charlie appeared behind Vaggie, as did James, as he asked, "What's going on?"

"Yeah, Vaggie, what's the problem," Charlie asked, but then gasped, "Oh! Hello again!"

James narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm gonna get my scythe..."

Vaggie sighed, as she looked at him, "Please, don't."

"I'm just gonna golf-club him across town before Alastor does something worse to him." James explained, "And do more damage to the Hotel."

Sir Pentious shot up, as he pleaded, "I didn't come looking for a fight. I uhh.. I heard that you're helping people, people who want to be better?"

James raised a brow looking at Vaggie to see if she's buying this.

Though Charlie seemed to brighten up by this, as she smiled, "You heard right!" she grabbed his hand to lead him on, leaving Vaggie and James in confusion, "Welcome to our home of healing, our resort of restoration, our-"

Angel Dust appeared from the door and cut off Charlie, "Are you fucking nuts? This chump was trying to kill us like literally 6 hours ago! And now you wanna bring him in here to live with us?"

"Absolutely!" Charlie answered enthusiastically, "This place is about second chances, and who deserves one more than this..." Paused as the princess tried to find the right words, "Slithery... slippery... special little man."

Angel glanced at both Vaggie and James asking, "Aren't you two supposed to be protecting this place?"

Charlie then looked at the two and gave them her puppy-dog, like eyes, silently begging the two to give Sir Pentious a chance at the hotel.

James sighed, as he shrugged, "You'll do it anyway. So go for it."

Vaggie also caved, "...Well, he's no threat without the War machine." That made the Snake-sinner smile, his hood-like hair widening, before Vaggie stated, "Even with them."

That just broke his elation.

Vaggie then smiled to Charlie, "So I guess it's okay."

Elated Charlie went over and hugged the two of them, "Oh... THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"

James blushed at this as he wasn't used to this. Especially after the few times this had happened.

Vaggie blushed at being hugged by Charlie, but was happy to make her happy.

She then set the two down and led Sir Pentious inside, "Sir Pentious, welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!

"Oh no, darling!" Sir Pentious said following the princess inside, "Thank you! You won't regret this."

James though had his doubts, as he mumbled, "I doubt it."

Angel Dust walked in with James and said, "I'd give him a week, tops."

Once they got inside, Charlie then began to show Sir Pentious around, "So... this is the Bar and the Bartender." Pointing at Husk.

Before pointing up, "This is the curtain."

Then going to the wall, "This is the new wall after you blew up the last one."

The princess was about to say more before Vaggie stopped her, "Whoa, Charlie you don't need to show him every little detail."

"I'm so super excited that we have a new guest in the hotel~," Charlie chimed at all this, like a kid in a candy store.

"Umm... What about us?" Clint asked gesturing to himself, Dan, Bruce, and Angel.

Charlie shrugged, as she did her best to soften the inevitable blow, "Well, you're an important part of our family here Angel, but you uhm, uh…"

"Constantly make us look bad, sexually harass the staff, and have literally never once tried to improve," Vaggie answered, not bothering to sugarcoat it at all.

All four seemed down trotted, as Charlie said, "What she means is, it's just nice to have someone interested for once."

Clint crossed his arms, as he scowled at the two, "And if we don't do better, then what? You're gonna throw us out for the Extermination Day?"

Charlie looked horrified at the suggestion, "No! I'd never do that!" Charlie said assuring Clint, "We want to help sinners but the only real change can come from here." She then placed a hand over where his heart is.

"No, not you," Clint implied, and looked glaring daggers at Vaggie, "This one. She'd rather throw us out than even put up with us."

Vaggie narrowed her eye at that claim, arms crossed, but remained silent.

"C'mon guys, she wouldn't do that, right," James assured them, as he looked her. But then sweat dropped as she didn't budge or say anything, as he sighed, "Okay, she would."

"Since they came here they've sworn to serve Charlie but took part in that fight with Angel and made Charlie a laughing stock." Vaggie explained her reasons, "It's only because she asked me that I won't do it. But seriously you guys need to get your priorities straight..."

Bruce looked to the duo and looked to Vaggie innocently, as he clapped his hands together, and unfolded his wings to make them shift into some kind of halo over his head while almost look like angel wings. He was trying to tell her he was doing his best to be on his good behavior.

"I know you are Bruce, but going into that turf war didn't help." Vaggie said glaring at Dan, Clint, and Angel, showing her distrust of Men, again.

Lydia then pointed out, "Charlie's doing the tour without us, guys."

She pointed over to the duo with her leading Sir Pentious around... especially when a certain someone was coming down the stairs. Considering what Pentious did this morning, Alastor was gonna tear the hotel in half just to take down Sir Pentious.

Dan gulped, "It's gonna be a blood bath."

"Well, I guess this is a great time for your first lesson!" Charlie said to the snake-sinner before clearing her throat, " 'How to Apologize.' The first step to becoming a better person is to admit when you are wrong, why don't you give it a try?"

Nervously Sir Pentious began to speak, "Yes..um.. Mr. uh.. Radio Demon sir... Please forgive me for attacking you and ruining your very lovely coat.. umm.. here."

And handed the piece he torn off of Alastor's coat out and handed to the red-headed Deer-sinner as a token of apology.

Alaster takes it and inspects the damage, with an interested exclamation, "Ah-Ho! Not many people have been able to take even this much off me, and lived." Looking at Sir Pentious, Alastor genuinely observed, "It must have meant quite a lot to you."

Before he spontaneously combust the fabric tear into green flames, leaving all who would see stunned by this.

Clint and the others cringed, as he leaned in to whisper to Lydia, "I think he's taking this super personal."

Lydia remained silent and only said, "He's really the devil..."

Niffty popped up as she smiled, seeing Sir Pentious, as she ran up to them, "It's you. The Bad boy." Sir Pentious blinked nervously as the maid in question jumped on his coat and said in a creepy way, "Don't ever leave me again"

James sweat dropped and said, "We're about 75 percent sure she's safe..." but had flashbacks to how she was around himself and the other guys before she got used to them...

Later
Lobby

In the Lobby living room area, Angel, Clint, Bruce, Dan, James, Lydia, and Sir Pentious were all present, along with Vaggie and Charlie, as the next session to better themselves would begin. "Now, with a new resident, I think it's important we all get to know each other," Charlie explained, as she looked to them all, and smiled, "So we are going to play a little game. Everyone, follow me." She smiled as she stood and began, as she sang a little ditty, My name is Charlie" And clapped twice, "I like to sing!" She clapped twice again, "..and when we get to know each other it's the greatest thing!" She then finished it with another dual clap. She then smiled at she suggested, "James. Would you like to give it a shot?"

James cleared his throat, as he tried his best, "My name is James." He clapped twice, mimicking Charlie as he went on, "I love to help." And clapped again twice, "And when I do a good job, I give a happy yelp." And finished with another dual clap.

Sir Pentious thought on it, as he shrugged, and went along, "My name's Sir Pentious." And clapped twice, "I Like to Build." Clapped again, "And despite by stupid Egg Boiz, I'm rather skipped." And finished with his claps.

Charlie then turned to Lydia.

Lydia sighed, "My name is Lydia." She clapped, "I like to Eye.." She clapped again, "At James, because Charlie's a.." She stopped, as she said, quickly, "Nope! No, no, no.. I can't do this. I'm gone." She then got up, And walked out of the circle.

Dan looked to Charlie as he teased, "Girl, you're a beast to her."

Charlie blinked confused at Dan, "Huh?"

Clint and Dan shook their heads at the princess's obliviousness of Lydia's envy of her being able to get James's admiration.

Charlie then looked to Clint to pick up where Lydia left off.

Clint just groaned, "This is stupid."

"It's not stupid." Charlie said back, while clapping twice, glancing to Angel Dust. "It's just a game," she clapped again, as she finished, "Pentious and James did it, now you guys do the same!"

Angel just groaned, "I am way too sober to do this."

"Well, get used to it and learn how to play, this is gonna be your whole day!" Vaggie added, clapping twice, like the others, smirking at Angel Dust and those not joining in.

Bruce clapped with her, signifying he was in agreement with her.

Later On

Angel and Pentious were in a dress up act, with Angel dressed up like a peddling hobo, and Pentious... as an innocent schoolboy with a sucker. Everyone was sitting down watching this, including the much returned-to-normal Lydia, as they watched the show before them. "Oh, I am a bad man who never got enough hugs. Now where is an innocent kid to where I can sell drugs to," Angel said the lines before him, rather unenthusiastically. He then arched an eyebrow as he asked, "Seriously, who wrote this?"

"It's great right?" Charlie asked, revealing how she was the one who wrote it, "Keep going!"

Dan then whispered to his friends, "We're doomed..."

Bruce would look nervously as he watched this.

Angel sighed, as he kept reading, "Say, kid. You look like someone who would love..." and then arched an eyebrow, "Devil's Dandruff? Really?"

"Not me," Pentious said, as he kept into character. "I need to go home and study."

Angel shook his head as he kept on going, "C'mon, Kid. It'll make you cool like me..." and droned out, "The Crackhead."

"The only cool thing here is to say no to drugs!" Sir Pentious said while he turned and continued on with his role, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to not have sexual intercourse before marriage!"

If this was a game show or something, they would hear a triumphant trumpet sting, Charlie, excited, stood up and clapped, "Yes! Oh bravo! Bravo!"

Even as the others watched with either inability to believe, take it seriously, or just had a nervous silence about them.

Chuckling she spoke to their latest resident, "Wow, Pentious! At this rate, you'll be redeemed in no time."

Angel though... looked rather saddened, as he slinked away, going unnoticed. Well, almost unnoticed, as Lydia looked to see him walk away.

Angel entered his room and then took the trench coat off and tossed it over where his pet hell-pig, Fat Nuggets, was sleeping before he goes to lay down. Fat Nuggets watched Angel lie down on his bed. Angel glumly looked at his phone and saw all his voice mails from Valentino. Angel sighed and began to play them. Valentino's voice mails switched back and forth between a friendly, apologetic tone and a barrage of screams threatening violence. Throughout the whole thing, it felt like hours had passed until he heard one last one, "You actually think you can change?"

Red smoke appeared from seemingly nowhere, and encircled Angel, as the spider-demon can hear Val's voice now, "Addict trash like you doesn't change."

The smoke then clung around his neck and chin like hands before fading away, as Angel hear Val ended the message, "I'll see you soon, baby."

Angel sighs more depressed now than ever while he heard some oinks and saw his pig there, "...Sorry, not now, Fat Nuggets."

When he got up to leave, Fat Nuggets, would watch his master & friend worried...

Angel had left his room and made his way to the main foyer of the Hotel, needing something to help him forget his troubles...

"Angel," Lydia spoke out, as she popped up from behind the couch, "You okay?"

Angel was surprised to see her before he muttered, "not now kitty, I'm not in the mood..."

He then reached behind the bar counter and grabbed a bottle.

"I could hear the voice mails in your room, you know," Lydia said, as she hopped over the other side, and walked over, "Who was that guy? He sounds like he has bipolar mood swings."

Angel froze hearing that, glared at her before muttering, "Fucking Cat ears... I thought the rooms were private."

"Apparently, not for my ears," Lydia answered, as she sat next to him, and pointed to her ears, as she explained, "It's annoying to hear everything. Vaggie's self-loathing, Dan masturbating, Alastor'... being Alastor... and Niffty..." She then shivered, as she felt unnerved, "You don't want to know what Niffty does alone."

Angel looks at her and asked, "You're not gonna let me get drunk alone till I spill are ya?"

"I just wanna help, okay," Lydia said, as she sighed, "I um.. I can kind of relate to feeling like you're not able to change to be better in some way."

"Least you're not bound by a leash..." Angel muttered gulping down his drink.

Lydia then looked at the bar, and asked, "Anything good? It's never a good thing to drink alone."

"Just go back to your fucking crush already..." Angel muttered, still gulping his bottle.

Lydia shrugged, as she grabbed a bottle at random, "Fuck it, I need to get drunk. Aside from you being depressed, and James and Charlie getting closer, I figured I should get drunk and sleep with him tonight while he doesn't notice." And then gulped the bottle down.

"Why didn't you do it already then?" Angel asked looking at her, even as she felt the harshness of her drink burning her throat.

Though she was still guzzling it down, until she finished the whole bottle, and gagged out for air, as she slammed it on the bar table, "Because I thought I had a chance with him until Charlie popped into the picture, and I..." Lydia blinked, as she looked at the bottle, and to Angel, as she said, "I'm not drunk."

"Yeah, that tends ta happen to first timers," Angel said.

"How many drinks do I need to be brave enough to sneak into James's room and make the love with him," Lydia asked, looking hysterical.

"You ever drank before?" Angel asked.

"This... actually is my first time, drinking," Lydia honestly said, looking embarrassed, "I never got laid either."

"Not feeling the effects of wasting is strange..." Angel said before saying, "Not getting laid, that's your fault."

Lydia though... looked goofy as she smiled at Angel, as she leaned on the table. She looked at Angel still looking, which kinda unnerved him a bit, as he felt uneasy.

He blinks, "Uhh... Pussy cat?"

"You're cute. I just wanna make a plushie in yer likeness and cuddle with it," Lydia smiled, looking rather... out of character. And then she slipped down, cackling, as Angel arched an eyebrow, smirking at this.

"Holy shit... you must be a goodie-goodie if you're so drunk like that." Angel cracked.

She then shot up, as she gasped, "Can I tell you a secret, Spidey?"

Raising a brow he shrugged, "if you tell me your secret I might tell you mine."

"Okay..." Lydia said... and then looked sad, as she said, "I think I love both James and Charlie!"

Angel blinked, "huh?"

"I know, I don't get it either," Lydia sighed, as she said, "I always thought I was straight and loved James, but now I'm growing attached to Charlie. But I love them both, and it's confusing me as shit! And I can't tell them both because Charlie wants me and James to ascend into heaven, and this whole three-way thing would get in the way, making me more frustrated emotionally and sexually."

He looked at her at being let down, "you sure it's not the booze making you think that way?"

"I don't know," Lydia sighed, as she looked at him, and asked, "So now that I've spilled... my heart out... tell me yours."

"I made a deal with Valentino... it's why he treats me like a toy... sometimes I wonder if I really am making a change like the snake prick..." Angel admitted sighing, "I mean you saw and heard how Charlie and the others were around him..."

She gently assured him, "Charlie's just excited that we have someone here showing a change of pace." She then looked to him and softly smiled, "If anything, Angel, you still here is just as good. Charlie's just excited for the new guy." Lydia gently reached up and patted his head, "And that jerk Valenti.. titty... titto... that guy...he may treat you like a toy.. but you're still you. And he can't do shit if that means he can't have you. So, he's got his sucky cock in between a rock and a hard place, squeezed like a vice, and if he does something to fuck you or this up, he'll be unscrewing it. He's.. an unscrew."

Angel had to stiffen a giggle, as he said, "You really get wasted after the first drink."

"Thank you, you cute jumping spider," Lydia said, as she fell asleep on him, purring, and sighed, "I was jusssst sad you weren't... taking Charlie... seriously..."

Angel sighs before saying, "okay kid, time to take you back to your perch." picking her up and carried her to her room.

However, before he could go any further, Lydia mumbled, "Why do I hear slithering sounds?"

"It's probably Dan trying ta yank another..."

"No, I can tell if it's Dan, this is someone else," Lydia mumbled, as Angel arched an eyebrow, but then noticed Sir Pentious's tail from a corner.

He slowly followed after, while he was still carrying Lydia. As he carefully followed, he poked his head in the reading room, which had a window, and shelves of books in there. He also noticed Sir Pentious wide awake, and sticking what appeared to be a spy camera in the shelves, trying to hide it from sight. And he noticed the V insignia, the one that the Vees only used on all their products. And then it hit Angel like a ton of bricks: Pentious was working for the Vees to spy on them for some reason. Well, the porn star despite his attitude towards the Hotel, wasn't going to let it slide.

Angel slammed the door open, "You slippery little shit!" Sir Pentious yelped as he was discovered, even as Angel continued his accusation, "You're working for the Vees? I fucking knew there was something shitty about you."

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Sir Pentious denied before saying something that really got to Angel Dust, "…whore bug!"

Angel sneered at him in anger, until Lydia popped up in Angel's arms as she moaned, "Wha..? Who's shitting on a bug?"

Angel and Pentious arched their eyebrows at that, as Angel looked to the snake and said, "Think fast!" And tossed Lydia at him, to which he caught her... giving Angel the chance to tackle the guy on the ground, as the two wrestled, while Lydia slept on the floor.

"Get your aggressively average body…OFF OF ME!" Sir Pentious demanded as all five of his eyes began to spiral, in a hypnotic manner at Angel's eyes, making the porn star obey.

He then attempted to slither away... only for Lydia to dig her claws into his tail, as he shouted, "GAAAAH!"

Still drunk, Lydia was trying to bite into him, and the pain broke his hold on Angel, as he snapped out of it. "Eh wha..." and saw Lydia biting him, as he asked, "What are you doin'?"

"Trying to bite on this banana," she grumbled, but then blinked, as she let go and smiled, "Oh yeah." She then got to the tip of Pentious's tail, with her claws extending out, "I gotta peel it first."

Pentious paled as he panicked, "Wait, what? What is happening?!"

"She's fucking drunk, you shitty backstabber!" Angel snapped as he kept going at him.

At that moment though, Charlie, Vaggie, and James walked in. All three of them were wearing their pajamas: Vaggie a white mini skirt spaghetti strapped night gown with her ribbon off, Charlie in pinkish red long sleeve shirt and pant pajamas, while James had a white T-shirt and black boxer briefs on, with his black sleeve off, as his scars showed.

Charlie yawned, as she asked, "What's going on?"

Lydia stopped, as she saw Charlie and James, and pounced at them both, as she was slurring out, "James! Charlie!" She hugged them both, as she mumbled, "I luv you both soooooooo muchy..."

Sir Pentious got an idea and shouted, pointing accusingly at Angel Dust, "This striped pervert got Lydia drunk and attempted to assault me! All because he's jealous of my progress in your establishment!" He went to Charlie, "It wasss horrible, my dear... that fiend sssicced the poor girl on me as he tried to sssslay me before I could warn you..."

Lydia may have been drunk, but she was still lucid enough to say, "That Bitch Pentious is a traitor! He's working for those guys called um..." She looked to Angel and asked, "What did you call them? The Ts?"

Angel sighed, "The Vees."

"The Vees," Lydia said.

Vaggie shouted, "THE VEES!?"

Sir Pentious would go and said, "Preposssterousss! Ssshe is sssoo drunk she'd believe anything he says..."

"I would never betray you." He would go and hug the trio of Charlie, James, and Vaggie, "You... are my best friends."

Lydia hissed at Pentious, "Back off, Slug boy."

James arched an eyebrow, as he saw something on the shelf, "Making it up, huh?" And walked over to the bookshelf, as he showed the camera, "Was this made up then?"

Charlie would gasp, while Pentious realized his cover was blown and seeing all eyes on his screamed, revealing his wrist watch, "AH! AHH! ABORT! ABORT! SOS! AGENT PENTIOUS IN NEED OF IMEDIATE EVACUATION!"

The screen revealed Vox's face as he quickly realized, "Pentious? Wait… you were caught?! It hasn't even been, a day!"

"Please! You've got to get me out of here!" Sir Pentious cried out, looking at the Overlord.

Vox was laughing at the ridiculousness of this situation, "I can't believe we thought you could handle even something this simple! Shit even Vergil's done a better job than you! AND HE'S A NEWBIE!" Those words shocked Pentious while everyone could hear the TV-headed Demon's words, "Do us a favor, if they don't kill you, go ahead and do it yourself! You MISERABLE FAILURE!"

Pentious, now shattered at how those who had supported him up till now have abandoned him, was reduced to tears, "I... I…" Looking to them, he slivered over and laid down on the floor, defeatedly, "Just make it quick I guess…not that I deserve it."

Vaggie pulled out her spear and snarled, "Gladly..."

"Vaggie, wait," James said, as he looked at Pentious, and felt sympathy for this guy. Despite all this, it was a low blow even for his allies to call him a failure, as he walked over, and knelt down, as he said, "Pentious?"

The snake genius looked up to him with tear-filled despair in his eyes... only to see James extend his left hand to him, as he sympathetically smiled and began to sing, It starts with sorry,

Pentious and Charlie blinked, even as James continued to sing, that's your foot in the door.

And helped the snake man stand up as he smiled, One simple sorry,

And tapped a fist to his heart and to Pentious's as he explained, Spoken straight from your core.

A path of light and stars extended to greener pasture as he said, The path to forgiveness, is a twisting trail of hearts!

And then Charlie smiled as she walked up next to him, But sorry is where it starts!

Sir Pentious pulled away as he couldn't accept it, Who could forgive a dirtbag like me? He then fell back on a couch, as he awaited his fate, I don't deserve your amnesty.

Can't we just kill him? Vaggie and Angel asked, approaching their eyes glowing a dangerous shade of violet with their weapons drawn, Shoot him and spill his blood?

"That's an option you could choose," Charlie said, nervously smiling.

Angel Dust and Vaggie shrugged, Works for us

But then James gently assured them, as he asked, But who hasn't been in his shoes?

He and Charlie then pulled Pentious to them, as they duetted, It starts with sorry.

Sorry. Sir Pentious said, looking at the two before him.

Charlie encouraged him, Dig down deeper and say one sincere sorry!

I'm so sorry! Sir Pentious cried out falling into the arms of a skeptical Vaggie and Angel Dust.

James smiled, as he encouraged, And your journey's underway!

And then all three sung together, It'll take time to cover your/my vast multitude of sins, Pentious smiled as they stopped, as all three finished, But sorry is where it begins.
It starts with sorry.

once they had finished singing, Niffty was seen standing in the hallway in her bedwear, but appears... angry as she complained, "I hated that song!" Everyone looked to the maid, as she glared at Pentious disappointed. "Why are you so lame?!" Niffty then kicked him on of his tail 'eyes' and walks away, commenting, "Not a bad boy."

Sighing Happily, Charlie remarked, "Good first day!"

"Let's get some rest!" And then led them out of the room, while James carried Lydia while she was in her drunk state. the office went dark, while no one noticed a certain shape in the shadows, Alastor appeared inside the office, with a malevolent smile. He picked up the video-watch and shorts it on to reveal Vox, who shouted, "WHAT?!"

Vox paused, realizing it was Alastor who called him, not Sir Pentious, and showed fear in his screen face as Alastor laughed, "You'll have to try harder than that next time, ol' pal!"

Alastor then crushed the watch with his bare hand as Vox incoherently rages at him as the watch became too damaged to work properly, before Alastor retreats back into the darkness, chuckling darkly.

Meanwhile
Back at V Tower
-Velvette's Room

The Room was very stylish and almost like a model's apartment. It was very stylish as the lights were like that of a model walkway, and the vanity mirror and dresser were like that of a movie star's makeup room. Though the main point was a king-sized bed with velvet drapes all around it, and on the floor were clothes strewn about. In the bed, sitting up was Vergil, who wasn't wearing anything at all, but checking out a blue screen, as he was focusing on what was on it, as he rested his left arm on his left knee, focused, and not knowing what would soon happen next to get his attention.

"Oi what the fuck you think yer doing?" A certain voice called from the walk-in closet, catching his attention. Vergil knew it was Velvette, especially how she had invited him for some 'Stress Relief' for her after how things went for her shoot after that meeting... And right now, she was pissed by how Vergil wasn't paying any attention to her right now.

"Just keeping track of our spy situation," Vergil explained, as he looked at Velvette, who wore nothing but a loosely held on pink and velvet red robe with her hair down. "I know you guys say that the point of money is to have someone do our job for us, but that doesn't eliminate the concern part of my job." He then smiled to her, "Even if it's a creature as intoxicating, imposing, or as lovely as you, my Velvette Cake."

Velvette's cheeks became a burgundy color and snapped, "'Ey! Don't you fucking read this too close into this, we're just getting physical, nothing mushy." She then goes to sit next to him on her bed and asked, turning his head to face her, "So what sort of shit got yer attention over this hawt babe you were lucky to get in here with, when many of my more attractive fans would kill and die for?"

"Sir Pentious failed," Vergil sighed, as he half-smirked, "And Alastor rubbed it in Vox's flat face." He then smirked, "but... the hotel didn't see the real trick."

And then showed vid cams of the areas around in and out of the hotel. "It's a good thing I patted Pentious on the back. Little did anyone knew, I stuck on his back a bag of micro-robotic cameras that spread all over the hotel wherever Pentious slithered around to."

Vergil then switched it off, as he smiled, "Mission accomplished." He then looked to Velvette, as he asked, "Want another round?"

However, Velvette stopped him from kissing her as she said, "Wait, wait, wait! Back the fuck up! You planted him with those mini-bots of yours and we got the full detail on the bleeding-head princess and those misfits and what they're doing?" She looked at him, while he nodded, and asked, "How in the fucking rings did ya predict that shit was going down?"

"I didn't," Vergil said, honestly. Before he explained, "I just always come up with a backup plan in case something goes tits up. That and in a game of chess, the pawns go first. And Pentious was the pawn."

Velvette looks at him blinking before Vergil felt her grabbing his head and proceeded to make out with him again as she dropped her robe and climbed on top of him, ready to go another couple more rounds with the gemstone of a recruit she found during Extermination Day.
