Summary: Adam, Alastor, Lucifer and Husk are introduced to extremely convincing military propaganda.

As Adam in a fit of rage prepared a blast that would've split the hotel and the hill it sat on in half, three things happened.

Lucifer prepared to meet the blast head-on with his own instead of dodging.

A shadow portal stole Husk.

Another shadow portal appeared between the two strongest in Hell, where an enraged Alastor with a panicking Husk prepared a powerful shadow attack with Husk as a battery to empower it.

Then, the three attacks met each other and swallowed them whole. When the light cleared, there was nothing of the four men that remained.

For a whole, painstakingly long minute, Hell stared at the spot where its King, Bane, greatest Overlord and fallen Overlord occupied. Uncomprehending of what just happened.

Then panic.

"DAD/SIR/HUSK/YES!" Charlie, Lute, the hotel crew and Vox cried out, though only one was in joy.

Everyone started to run around like headless chickens for a bit, barking and growling at each other, but without the powerhouses and leaders(and respectable comrade) there to assert orders, they did not attack, scared shitless at the seemingly instant disintegration of the four men.

Then...

All of Hell became quiet as four Skyscraper big ships appeared high in the skies of Pride, casting long shadows that reached even the borders of Pentagram City.

Everyone gawked at the sight of the massive ships, which granted weren't really big, but considering that they were flying, it made them imposing.

"Are we being fucking invaded by aliens or some shit!?" Angel incredulously exclaimed.

Right after he said that four missiles came out of the massive ships.

Angel blankly stared at them, "Well...shit. Guess we are."

"TAKE COVER!" No one is sure who said that, no one argued with them.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

That was the sound the missiles made as they hit the ground, yet strangely, no explosion.

Then they whirred as...four large armoured figures appeared.

The first one out sported green armour with yellow highlights and a triangular blue visor. He stood a little bit over six feet. (Alpha Commander)

The second one out was a large man in bulky grey and yellow armour and a small silt that acted as his visor, he was also close to 12 feet. (Battle Master)

The third was a lanky man in green armour with lots of pouches and ammo on them and a completely armoured head. They stood at over half seven feet. (Ravager)

The last guy had armour similar to the first, but slimmer and less armoured, along with a bigger visor. They stood slightly taller than the third. (Default Tactical)

And all four of them were packing heat.

The green-armoured guy stepped forward, looking around before starting to laugh, spreading their arms wide in jovial happiness.

"Home once again! Been a fucking while." A very familiar voice spoke from them.

"DAD!?" Charlie cried out in shock and relief.

"Hmnn?" Lucifer tilted his head to Charlie, "AH! Duckie! Oh, how I missed you! Almost forgot what you looked like!" He greeted his daughter with an energetic hug.

Charlie just blinked at that "Uh, what are you talking about Dad?"

He looked up at her, and even though he wore a helmet, she could feel him looking at her like she grew a second head.

"What are you talking about? I haven't seen you in years!" He exclaimed.

"Wha-what!?" That just confused her and everyone even more.

"Interesting, although it's been years for us, for them it seems not even half an hour has passed by, not even that likely. This must be due to the different speeds of the timelines." The guy in green armour mused.

"The fuck!? Alastor is alive!?" Vox exclaimed in disbelief.

"Really?" Lucifer turned to Al with an intrigued tone "That's convenient. Thank Liberty, everything would've gone to shit creek if we were gone for as long as we thought we were."

That's when the biggest one decided to speak up, "Alright that's enough, we can relax and socialise later. Until then, we got a job to do." He ordered them.

"Ah, right. Thanks for reminding me." Lucifer nodded, walking away to a nearby drone, cape fluttering in the wind.

Lute recoiled "SIR!? Why are you being cordial with the sinner Stag and Serpent?!" What was going on!?

Adam gave her the stink eye "Watch Lieutnanat Lute, those are my men you are insulting."

Before they could question that, Lucifer grabbed a drone and cleared his throat.

"Citizens of Hell! I am indeed Lucifer, your 'king'. And I have an announcement to make! The monocracy and nobility are to be dismantled and ended!" He proudly proclaimed.

"WHAT!?" That was everyone's first thought. Was this some sick joke?

"In its place, a government where the people have power and are the true leaders of our country shall be made! A blessed democracy, where all citizens have the right to vote! A Utopia!" He continued regardless of what was happening.

Vox just stared at the screen blankly "I can't even fucking claim he is high because there isn't a fucking drug in existence that would make this happen." And if there is, he doesn't want it.

Lucifer made a dramatic pause "But, freedom isn't free. Among you all, totalitarian fascists and socialist communists, the great enemies of liberty and freedom, would fight against this, depriving you of your right to vote and choose your destiny so that you may slave away mindlessly for their ambitions! And indeed, I was one of them. But Lady Liberty has shown me the way! And it is your duty, as patriots to save them from their fate, or kill them so that they may never take freedom from another ever again! How you may ask? Do what I, Adam, Alastor and Husk did. Join, The Helldiivers!" At his words, the screen suddenly switched to a feed of Lucifer and the others running across a rocky land.

Velvette sat up confused and shocked "The fuck!? Vox what are you doing!?" She demanded an answer.

Vox growled, and would've pulled at his hair if he had any "Alastor! The fucker and some other guys managed to hack into my network somehow!"

"Are they fighting giant bugs?" They turned back to the screen to see that indeed, the recording showed the four men killing giant bugs.

"The Fuck!?" Was the collective thought of everyone.

Unknown to everyone, Alastor and the 'other guys', the computer experts on the Super Destroyers, also spread the transmission to all of Hell, right before Lucifer began his speech.

When Adam sucker punched a car-sized bug, Lucifer spoke "Become part of an elite peacekeeping force dedicated to spreading Managed Democracy across not just the Galaxy, but the universe and beyond!" And as he spoke and afterwards, scenes of Alastor decimating hordes of bugs with a jetpack and what looked like a large canon(Autocannon), and swapping to a powerful rifle to shred the armour of enemies, and even punching them! Husk is taking out lines of enemies with a railgun, taking out building-sized bugs with headshots, and using a powerful shotgun to knock back and kill bugs and either dodging hits or being protected by a shield pack! Lucifer is just burning everything, setting fire to bugs with flame weapons and a flamethrower, and with a drone that burned enemies with a laser!

"See exotic new sights!" As he said that, Adam brought up his wrists, swiped up, right, down, down, down and threw a small beacon. Within seconds, a large explosion the size of a Showa Godzilla appeared, killing many strong and dangerous-looking bugs. After that, he and Lucifer chest bumped in celebration.

"And spread prosperity across the cosmos!" Husk dropped a beacon, he and Alastor were surrounded. They looked at each other, with Alastor spreading his arms for a hug which Husk accepted. A few seconds later, the two emerged from the explosion, the only ones alive and laughing in disbelief and patriotic happiness.

"Become a HERO." As a Pelican neared to extract them, the four celebrated with hugs and fist bumps a successful operation, but as they neared to enter the craft, they spotted a horde of bugs approaching.

"Become a LEGEND." With smirks that could be seen through their helmets, they inputted a bunch of swipes and threw four beacons to the ground.

"Become, a Helldiver!" At those words, the four, leaning on their seats with cool satisfaction, didn't flinch as the extraction site was bombarded with lasers, bombs, napalm and mini-nukes! The wind reached them and made their capes jostle, as the light reflected off their bloody armour. None of that blood was red, or gold. they only saluted each other in response.

After that, a website name appeared.

"Register here! And join the fight for democracy." Within a few hours, in a repeat of the incident that occurred during the beginning of the second galactic war, the website would crash from souls from all rings trying to sign up.

Lute just silently stared, before walking up to Adam and staring right at him. "Sir?"

Adam looked down at her "Yeah Lute?" He curiously asked.

"You and Lucifer had us at democracy." Right as she said that all of the Exorcists lined up to join personally.

Adam gave a hearty laugh "I knew you'd see the light Lute!" He made a portal to one of the noble houses "Now L-2, A-3 and H-4! Let's go and take out some traitors!" Husk stopped holding back at that.

"FOR DEMOCRACY!" With a war cry, he charged right through the portal, already taking out some guards. His destroyer FLT'd to his location.

Alastor just shook his head with a laugh "He's always too eager to charge in for Liberty."

"Like a true patriot! Let us not leave him alone, for in democracy, we shall dive together!" With that, Adam, Alastor and Lucifer jumped in, Lucifer waving goodbye to his daughter.

"What is even going on?" Who was still confused about what was happening.

Val and Vel blinked at that, "Well, that was something, right Voxy?" He looked to the couch, only to see him gone.

Vel sat up at that "Wha-Where did he go!?" She asked in astonishment.

"LET ME IN! LET ME IIIIIIIINNNNNN!" They turned to see...Vox impatiently, and fanatically yelling at his computer as he used all his power to put himself ahead of the other 4.58 million demons in the signup process.

"Vox! What the fuck are you doing!?" Velvette was shocked at how the guy was acting.

"Joining the fight for freedom, what does it look like!?" He answered Vel, turning to her with wild eyes.

While Vel was too busy ageing like a fish Vel decided to go for the intelligent approach, "Voxy, you do realise that's just violent military propaganda?"

"Yes! It is!" Vox agreed, raising their hopes he snapped out of it, "It fucking worked! I'm gonna vote for the defence budget to be tripled!"

To prove how right he is, do note that over 142,000 of those signing up are demons from the Sloth ring.

And that is the story of how Hell became the first step in Super Earth's plan to spread democracy to other universes.

Omake-Nah, I'd dive.

Adam, Alastor, Lucifer and Husk stared defiantly at the Root of All Evil, the ultimate fascist commie.

You can't win, you are weak. Your democracy is weak.

They merely laughed her/his/its/their face, before adopting various poses. Adam spread his arms like he wanted a hug, Lucifer performed a perfect Super Earth salute, and Alsator and Husk prepared to fist-bump each other.

"That's what you think, but we haven't even used our ultimate technique." He revealed, frightening it.

W-what!?

They didn't respond, and simply spoke as one "Domain Expansion." It rushed forward to stop them, but it was too late. Alastor and Husk fist-bumped, and the last words were said.

500 Megaton Hellbomb." A massive explosion engulfed the void, destroying it and leaving them unharmed.

"Throughout Heavens and Earths, Democracy alone is the True Way of Life."

AN: Calm down, calm down, you can praise me for my genius later. Figured I would go ahead with this idea dump, because why not? Helldivers 2 is beautiful, and can make even the most unpatriotic man say "Let's die for our country!". In the words of a very great patriot, "I love democracy."
