Return of the Risen
A few days after the Last Extermination, Celest and her moms were on their way out to visit her grandparents.
"I need to grab something from the lounge!" the Not-so-Little Hazbin runs ahead of them.
Charlie and Vaggie couldn't help but smile. Despite her appearance of being an adult, the bursts of excitement remind them of the not so long ago of when she was little. It makes them wish to have more of that around here.
The parents then stopped at the sight of their daughter standing in the doorway to the lounge, frozen in shock.
"Celest?" Charlie questions as she and her wife approach from behind and they too freeze.
A clawed hand reaches out for Alastor's portrait to straighten it.
Despite wearing white and gold, given the fluffy ears and the horns, there's no doubt who the man is. He turns to them with a bright smile and a radioed voice leaves his mouth. "It feels good to be back."
Celest runs up to him with surprising speed and wraps her arms around him. "I missed you, Mr. Alastor."
Alastor's smile drops as his eyes widen. "Do my eyes deceive me?" he pulls away to get a better look at the woman. "My dear. Could you be my goddaughter?"
With teary eyes, Celest nods.
Vaggie gets in between them. "Time out!" she then points an accusatory finger at who appears to be the Radio Demon. "How the Hell are you here!? And where have you been!?"
"Why in Heaven, My short little friend," he gestures to the ceiling. "It was nice seeing my mother again. And even though she is disappointed in how I lived, she still loves me."
Charlie then raises a brow. "You!? But how? No offence, Al. You yourself was against the redemption."
"Not too mention was a horrible person until he died," the former Exorcist crossed her arms.
"Yes. Well, it seems I only arrived there on a technicality."
"What?"
Alastor takes a seat. "When that vulgar ice creature was defeated, all those souls he collected were released and as a result they were also unintentionally purified. Most of us were sent to Heaven but none of us were granted the status as angels though given the lack of a halo. Well…" he thought for a moment. "Except one. I haven't the foggiest idea how she managed that."
"Alastor," the Princess of Hell walks up to him. "Are you saying that everyone who died during the Ice Age is alive?"
.oOo.
Angel was in the studio in front of the camera next to his cohost. "How's my makeup, Tom?"
"Looks fine to me," the gas masked demon says.
"I say you still look like a wh(bleep)!" walking up to them is a brighter looking Katie Killjoy. "Now get out of my chair!" she then throws the spider demon out of the seat to take for herself.
The masked demon tries to say something. "But—"
"No one gives a sh(bleep) about you Tom!" she snaps her neck back and forth. "Now let's go live."
Everyone stood there in silence. Tom's eyes narrowed and he shouts. "Security! It seems Ms. Killjoy is in my cohost's chair!"
"What!?" the former anchor was shocked as a couple hellhounds snatched her up to drag her out. "Get your claws off me!"
Angel retakes his seat, and the countdown starts as Tom whispers something to one of the news crew.
"And we're on in five, four, three, two…"
Angel Starts. "Welcome to Channel 6-6-6 News. I'm Angel Dust."
"And I'm Tom Trench," the gas masked demon starts. "Before we begin our main story, I have a report that the former disgruntled anchor, Katie Killjoy had attempted to break into the studio and remove Angel Dust from his position."
A video then popped up of the said anchor getting tossed out of the building.
"You can't do this to me. I'm Katie f(bleep)ing Killjoy! Are you recording me? You can't do that without my…"
The video then went static as Katie jumps at the camera.
"Nice to see you with a backbone," Angel Dust turns to his cohost. "You enjoyed that, didn't ya?"
"Far more than I thought I would."
.oOo.
A golden Stella gets thrown out of the mansion. She turns to the doorway where her ex-husband stands with that imp and hellhound along with their daughter.
"I'll make you pay for this!" she screeches. "This is my house!"
Stolas walks up to her. "This is my home, Stella. We're divorced. Remember."
"So, what!? That doesn't mean anything!"
"Give it up you feather brained, b(bleep)ch!" Blitz gets up in her face. "His a(bleep) is now my a(bleep)! And nobody gets it but me!"
That made Stolas blush. "Oh, Blitzy. Not in front of the girls."
Both Loona and Octavia scrunched up their noses. "Dads!"
And the two men walk in along with Loona.
"Octavia!" Stella screams. "Don't you leave me! I'm your mother!"
The young goetia stood there for a moment before turning back to her mom. "You are, Mum. But as you said. I mean nothing to you. So, why should you mean anything to me?" And walks back in with her family, all of whom gathered around Octavia to console her.
.oOo.
The star-eyed demon walks through the cemetery arm in arm with her colleague. "You didn't have to come with me, Tooth," she looks over at the imp.
"But I want to, Kayla," he smiles at her. "She was the closest thing to family you had. I would like to meet her."
Kayla leans in as they continued on, but she stops once she hears a familiar voice. One she thought she'd never hear again.
"Hi, Little Star."
The star eye girl gasped as she turns to the gravestone of the one they were going to see a smile figure with one large eye with blonde hair wearing a white and gold maid uniform. Floating above their head is a bright halo.
Kayla runs up to the figure to hug them. "Mom!?" and cries. "I missed you so much, Mom! What I said last time. I'm sorry."
Niffty was surprised by the reaction but soon smiles. "It's okay, Little Star," and hugs her.
After a few moments, they break apart and Kayla turns to the imp. "I want to introduce you to someone, Mom. This is Tooth. My boyfriend."
The tiny maid just tilts her head. "Boyfriend?"
"Yeah," Kayla giggled as she leans onto Tooth's shoulder.
From that moment on, every time Kayla wasn't looking Niffty gives Tooth a crazy look and even holds up a knife causing sweat to drop from the imp's head. But as soon as the star eyed demon turns back around, the knife is hidden, and the maid gives an innocent smile.
.oOo.
The doors to the Carmine building are opened and everyone is shocked by the figure who walked in.
The figure continues through the building all the way to where they walk up to the desk in front of the main office.
Kayla was having a fun chat with Tooth when her boyfriend suddenly jumped at the sight of the figure, and he grabbed the phone to warn his boss. "Mrs. Carmine!"
The figure then throws the office doors open revealing Carmilla Carmin herself in gold instead of black. Her eyes widen at what is before her. "What the Hell!?"
To be continued…

A Broken Reunion: Broken and Lonely 2
NOTE: This was more of a series of Quick-Shots that I was unsure how to fit in A Little Hazbin 3 and I did not think they were long enough for a chapter on their own. Thus so, I jumbled them together and made it the last entry of Little Hazbin Tales. This is the last entry as I am running out of stories for this AU.
