We all know how Lucifer and Lilith fell to Hell and yada yada yada, but at that time, they weren't alone.
Six child-looking creatures were there, who probably manifested the moment Hell was created. Lucifer, feeling a bit lonely with Lilith in Hell, decided to take care of those creatures, in the hope they would do something together in the future.
Well, those six creatures grew up to become, along with Lucifer, the Seven Deadly Sins.
At the top of Hell's hierarchy, these powerful Demons ruled on different rings each, with Lucifer ruling all over the Underworld and having the Pride Ring, where Sinners are limited to, under his direct administration, while the rest were ruled by the others Sins where the Hellborns resided: Wrath, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Envy and Sloth. And our story resumes in one of those "extra" Rings...
The TARDIS materialised in the Gluttony Ring, in a large sunny-esque city with vicious forests. The Doctor emerged from the box, not before taking the disguise of a Hellhound, to not attract unwanted attention. He even changed his outfit to a maroon Crombie coat with dark trousers and a pair of black boots, along with his usual frilled wrists of the coat.
He looked at himself in a mirror to see his disguise made using a modified Perception Filter powered by his new angelic powers (who still has to investigate about). He had now a wolf-looking appearance with grey fur, white eyes with red sclera, with more fur around his head, imitating his curly hair.
As he left the TARDIS, the Doctor wandered through the city. He noticed a large white-and-gold mansion with bee-like motives, where a lot of noise was coming from the inside. By looking at the drunk Demons outside the mansion, the Doctor presumed the owner of the mansion was holding a party inside.
Curious, he headed to the mansion until...He stopped walking. Why? Because he noticed someone crying. It was a female wolf-like Hellhound with white-and-grey fur and long voluminous silver hair. She had like any Hellhound white eyes with red sclera and was wearing a red dress with a black pentagram on it. The Doctor was always like this, he never ignores someone crying. So, he sat down next to her on the stairs and gave her a tissue.
"I think you need it." He said.
The hound was confused and when she saw the Doctor, she blushed. She silently took the tissue and wiped her tears off her face.
"Did something happen?" the Doctor asked.
Since it was Hell, the Doctor expected a response like "Mind your fucking business" or something like that. But instead, he received a shy:
"Nothing...I just wanna go home."
"Fair enough." said the Doctor. "I'm the Doctor, what's your name?"
"...Loona."
A black van with the acronym "IMP" painted on it arrived in front of the two. A tall Imp Demon (but still shorter than the two) with red skin with white spots and large curved black and white horns rolled down the window.
"Hey, Loonie, how are you doin'?" He spoke, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I just wanna go," said Loona, as she entered the van.
"Oh, that Demon must be her father." the Doctor thought. "Well, it's been a pleasure knowing you, Loona. I'd have liked having someone showing me the place."
Loona blushed again. "...Maybe I can show you." Her tail wagged slowly.
"Huh? Are you sure, Loonie?" Loona's father asked. "I think it's been a long night, especially for me."
"Come on! I wanna try again! You can come too, I'm sure there are people knowing you!" Loona made puppy eyes. "Pleeeeeease?"
"...Fine. Just one drink."
The two left the van and entered the mansion with the Doctor. As Loona's father went to drink, Loona hung around the Doctor.
At the party, the Doctor noticed how some female Hellhounds looked at him with lustful intentions, much to the Time Lord's disgust, due to him technically being an old man despite his young looks while Loona seemed so shy around him, despite her looks giving the vibe of someone tough. Another fact he noticed was how many Hellhounds were taller than him, who was above the average Human height. Even Loona towered over him.
"Oh, Loona! I thought you left." a hunky wolf-like male Hellhound with black fur and one completely white eye, wearing a ripped vest and trousers with a black shirt.
Along with him, there was a tall fox-like Demon with lava lamp-like hair and tail, with two pairs of arms and a stomach resembling a lava lamp.
"Hey, who's the guy?" She asked. "Cool suit! You know how to dress yourself, don't ya?"
"Oh, thank you." said the Doctor. "I'm the Doctor, and you two are...?"
"I'm Vortex, this is Bee, my girlfriend," said Vortex.
The Doctor noticed that as Vortex said the word "girlfriend", Loona looked away saddened.
"Bee?" the Time Lord repeated, "As in, Beelzebub?"
"Yup! The mothafuckin' Queen of Gluttony, at your service!" Bee bowed. "Nice to meet ya, Doc!"
The Doctor was a bit confused. From what he knew, Beelzebub was the Lord of the Flies, yes she doesn't look like a fly (minus her wings) or is a male. But went along with it.
"Oh, it's an honour to meet you, Your Sinfulness." said the Doctor.
"Hey, no need to be this formal! Just call me Bee." said Bee, "Hope ya like this silly little party."
"Well, it's nice for now." the Doctor glanced at Loona. "Got some nice company, luckily."
Loona became red. Bee chuckled.
"Glad to hear that! Have fun!" Bee left along with Vortex.
The Doctor and Loona took a drink. The Hellhound took the opportunity to try breaking the ice.
Keyword: Try.
"So, huh...What...What do you do for a living?" She asked awkwardly.
"Nothing, I'm a wanderer." said the Doctor.
"Oh, cool! I like travelling!" said Loona nervously. "I'm a secretary at my dad's office. Don't do much."
"I suppose that fellow with the tattoo on his forehead is your father." said the Doctor.
"Oh, yeah! I'm adopted."
"Oh, sorry."
"Oh, no no no! It's fine!" said Loona. "Say...It's your first time here, right? Me too."
"Yeah. I just passed by. I had a rough day." said the Doctor, drinking. "But I'm glad, meeting you already made it better." He chuckled softly.
"That's hot..." said Loona, dreamily. She snapped out of it and panicked. "I mean, ooh! It's hot here, isn't it? Boy, I'm hot!"
"Wanna go somewhere colder? I like having a walk." the Doctor proposed.
"S-Sure!" said Loona.
The two went outside the mansion.
"Say, what's your name?" said Loona.
"I told you, I'm the Doctor."
"No, your real name." She specified. "I mean, Doctor Who?"
"Just the Doc-"
The Doctor stopped talking. He felt something was coming at him so, instinctively, he dragged Loona away, dodging an arrow.
"What the fuck?!" She shouted, shocked.
The Doctor looked around and saw a Hellhound suspiciously running away.
"Loona..." said the Doctor, "Go back inside and call Beelzebub, I might need some backup."
"Why, where are you going-Hey!" Loona couldn't finish the sentence that the Doctor went away. "What's with that guy..."
The Doctor chased the hound in the forest restlessly.
"I wonder why did he want to kill me. Does he know I'm not a Demon?" He thought. "I have to find a way to block him. Think, Doctor, think!"
The Doctor looked around for a possible solution, but he could only see wood, which his sonic screwdriver was ineffective against. Unless...
He pointed his sonic screwdriver at a tree used on it.
*BZZZT!*
The tree fell, blocking the road.
"Oh, so it does do wood now!" the Doctor laughed. "End of the line, huh?"
The Hellhound growled and jumped to the Doctor, but before he could react, the hound was pinned to the ground by a yellow slimy substance. The Doctor tasted it.
"Honey...?" He thought.
The hound tried to free himself, until several flies appeared, forming a giant silhouette: It was Bee, now in her full demonic form.
"You dare to harm my guests?!" Her voice boomed. "YOU WILL FUCKIN' PAY FOR THAT!"
Loona and Vortex arrived.
"You okay, man?" Vortex asked.
"Yes, I'm fine." the Doctor glanced, "Thanks for calling them, Loona." He turned to the criminal hound. "Now, about you...I think you owe us some explanation."
For an instant, Bee noticed the Doctor's laurel crown-like faintly appearing on his head.
It disappeared as the Hellhound drank a purple liquid, falling to the ground.
The Doctor inspected it. "Poison. He killed himself."
"Why did they want to kill you, though?" Vortex asked, "I can understand trying to kill a Deadly Sin, but why someone like you?"
"I have some ideas, but not like I can tell them." the Doctor thought. He noticed something peculiar on the Hellhound's arm: A tattoo depicting a rotten apple with the phrase "Mors ad Luciferum!" written underneath.
"Mors ad Luciferum, Latin to "Death to the Morningstar"...Someone was a republican, I suppose." the Doctor thought. "Let's get back to the party."
"You guys go, I have to talk with the Doc for a bit," said Bee.
The two Hellhounds left (Loona reluctantly), leaving the Time Lord alone with the Sin of Gluttony.
"How can I help you-"
"You're an Angel, aren't you?" said Bee.
The Doctor stood back, alarmed.
"Relax, I ain't gonna tell anyone." Bee reassured, "I just wanna know what an Angel is doing here."
"Ran away. Heaven's boring." said the Doctor.
Bee chuckled, "Fair enough. But...Are you sure you're okay?"
"I am." the Doctor lied, "Why do you ask?"
"I can taste peoples' vibes, and yours' incredibly sour and depressed," said Bee. "Ya didn't have a good day, did you?"
The Doctor scoffed, "The understatement of the century. It's...A long story. A ridiculously long story. Doubt you'd want to listen to."
"Nah, I love stories, I'm a good listener," Bee insisted.
The Sin noticed the Doctor's growing discomfort, so she decided to back down.
"Let's get back to the party, whatever shit you faced before, you need to relax now." She said, "Besides, I don't wanna make Loona jealous thinkin' we're fucking."
"What?" the Doctor raised an eyebrow.
"Although, Angel or not, I'd tap that. You're a cutie," said Bee.
"WHAT?!" the Doctor shouted, as an eye appeared on his chest.
Bee laughed. "Relax! I was teasing...Maybe." One of her arms rested on the Doctor's shoulder. "But really, if ya wanna talk, you know where to find me."
"...Thank you, Bee." the Doctor smiled.
The two returned to the party.
"We're back!" said Bee.
"Hope we didn't miss anything." said the Doctor.
"Oh, not at all!" said Loona. "We were waiting for you."
"Well, let's party, shall we?" said the Doctor.
"That's the spirit!" Bee grinned.
So, the party continued. Everyone had fun, even the Doctor, who didn't indulge in gluttony, unlike a good part of the guests. He limited himself to simply drinking (after all, Time Lords are unaffected by alcohol) and chatting with Loona, to her joy.
Then, Bee and Vortex approached Loona.
"Hey, Loon." said Vortex, "I don't mean to be a buzz kill here, but your uh, dad... guy dude... Is um... He's seeming a bit..."
"Out of control." Bee continued. "Like, a mess."
"What, No!" Loona shook her head, "No, Blitzo is fine. He's always a mess, trust me."
"Look, honey. I see people having fun and getting fucked up all the time but, he's getting wasted off his ass and causing problems on purpose. So, I feel like, you should check up on him at least. Just to see if something's up." said Bee.
Loona grew more and more annoyed. "Don't act like you know him like I do."
"I ain't saying that. I can taste everyone's vibe here, and he is definitely a "not okay" one." said Bee, worried.
"Oh, yeah? And I bet you'd know the "okay" vibe, right? I mean everyone likes you so much." said Loona, angered.
"What's that supposed to mean? You've got a problem, sour cream?!" Bee turned into her demonic form. "Don't fuck with me!"
"Calm down, you two!" the Doctor stood in the middle. He turned to Loona, "Bee's right, you should go check on your father. Come on, I'll come with you."
"...Yeah, right, sorry." Loona sighed. She and the Time Lord looked out for her father.
"Blitzo! Blitzo!" She shouted (the "o" is silent), "Where are you, shithead?!"
"Found him!" the Doctor pointed at Loona's father, Blitzo, french-kissing another Imp.
"Oh, piss on a dick!" Loona, disgusted, grabbed Blitzo by the collar. "What the fuck are you doing, Blitzo?!"
"This guy..." said Blitzo, heavily drunk.
"You look like you're in the middle of a goddamn orgy! Stop it!" said Loona.
"Look, Loonie, Look, I didn't expect you to come in here and see any of this, Loonie. I'm so sorry, but it's a party, I'm just havin' fun."
"Better if you bring him home." said the Doctor.
"Yeah." Loona carried Blitzo over his shoulders, "Come on, Blitzo, you need to drink something that isn't Beelzejuice."
They arrived in front of the entrance. After Loona put Blitzo in the van, she turned to the Doctor.
"So, well..." She said, awkwardly, "I gotta go. Sorry for...Earlier."
"Don't worry." said the Doctor. "I'm going now, too. It's been a pleasure to meet you, Loona. I hope we can meet again. Oh, right, can you give me your phone."
"Oh, yeah, sure!" Loona's tail wagged as she handed the Doctor her phone. After inserting a number and use of sonic screwdriver, he handed it back.
"There you go." He said. "Whenever I am, you can call me. Now off you go, your father looks like he's gonna throw up."
"Right." Loona smiled. "See you, Doctor."
"Until we meet again, Loona." said the Doctor.
As Loona drove off, the Doctor headed to the TARDIS, but not before a familiar voice called him.
"Yo, Doc!"
It was Bee.
"Leaving already?" She asked.
"Oh, yes, I had quite a lot of fun." said the Doctor. "But in the end, gluttony isn't my cup of tea, no offence."
Bee chuckled. "Not at all." She noticed the TARDIS. "What's with that box?"
"Nothing to worry about." said the Doctor, "I've gotta go now."
"Aight, just remember my offer. Always here to have a talk. See ya!" Bee left.
The Doctor entered the TARDIS, which dematerialised almost immediately.
As the TARDIS levitated through the Time Vortex, the Time Lord sat down, reflecting on what happened at the party.
"That tattoo on that Hound's arm, "Death to the Morning Star", I wonder if he's simply a dissident...Or something sketchy is happening behind the scenes. If so, is Lucifer in danger, or Charlie too? Perhaps I might find an answer in other Rings."
The Doctor pulled down the lever and the TARDIS gained speed. Next stop:
The Envy Ring.
