The next morning, Viola took a deep breath while preparing for the upcoming battle. After shining her helmet, she put it on top of her dresser. Which she then opened to take a look at the formal wear from when she and Emily had to meet with Sera for dinner. She closed it before moving to sit at her desk. She started writing something down on a piece of paper near the bottle labeled 'Boob'. Her eyes would shift to her barrack room door and back to the letter nervously while she was still writing. Eventually, she was finished with the letter and folded it up before labeling it 'Emily.' With a heart drawn next to her girlfriend's name and a small picture of her face on the other side of it.
The smallest Exorcists took a deep breath before walking out of the barracks without Lute noticing. She didn't need her lieutenant potentially confiscating the letter and ripping it up, that would be one of the worst things to happen to her right now. Once she was out of the barracks, she then flapped her wings to launch herself into the air.
The Exorcist's wings guide her right to Seraphim's building and walked inside. She made her way to the familiar hallway and eventually, to her girlfriend's bedroom door. She looked at the letter and contemplated simply sliding it underneath the door... But didn't. She shook her head at her own thought.
Viola breathed in and squared her shoulders with her back turned to the door, "You know, Emily... I had a realization last night or you know... What do you call it? An epiphany! That! And I was thinking, I made a choice... So long ago." She leaned back on the door fully, "It was choosing to be your bodyguard! If I didn't make that choice, I wouldn't have gotten to know you and... I know I wouldn't like that. What I'm saying is, I'm still sorry about what I did but I made a decision and I hope you will approve of it." She didn't hear an answer.
But then suddenly, the door opened and the exorcist fell onto the floor of the room. Emily's face held a small smile for her.
Viola quickly, but awkwardly, got up from the floor, "I! Um! Sorry, I'm still not allowed in your room! It won't happen again!" She was blushing.
Emily giggled at the sight of her nervous stumble, "Oh Viola..." She leaned forward and put a hand on the exorcist's right cheek. She planted a kiss on the other side of her face, "Thank you so much for trying your best to be here for me. I know I wasn't been... The best with words right now."
The exorcist sighs with a smile from the kiss, "Y-You're welcome, Emily. I know it was a... Very large pill to swallow."
The blue angel took her hand from her face, "So, what is this decision you made?"
Viola pushed the letter into her hands, "It's on here. Please... Emily, take it. And make sure to read it later, okay?"
The Seraphim gently took the letter, "Okay, I will..." She smiled at the smaller angel, "You know... I can say I still love those golden eyes of yours."
This made the smaller Exorcist blush so bad until it was time for her to leave. She looked down at the letter, her thumb rubbing against her name...
And now... Came time for Viola to join her comrades in arms outside the gates of Heaven. She put her helmet on, covering her face with the mask. The Exorcists are all lined up together and wearing their helmets, the smallest Exorcist stands in the middle of the crowd. Both Adam, Lute and Cain stand in front of the other Exorcists.
Their leader starts to gives them all a pep talk, "Extermination Day is here, b-hes! We're going to go down and exterminate demon a-s!"
The lieutenant pumps her fist in the air, "Destroy that a-s!"
The first man's son cheers at this, immediately lifting his sword to show off.
Viola grimaces when she heard that part of the speech.
The first man shakes his own fist in the air, "Prepare to slaughter every sinner in that s-t hotel! And you all remember Vaggie?"
All of the Exorcists in the crowd start to boo their former comrade in response to his question. One of them shouts, "Boo!" Another yells, "We hate her!" Cain also lets out his own boo towards the former lieutenant.
Viola slumped her shoulders upon hearing that, one of her comrades bumps their elbow into her arm to get her to agree. She only hesitantly nodded her head.
Lute shouts while making a gesture of herself pulling something, "Rip Vaggie's c-t mouth out her a-s!" She then holds a giant smile on her boss.
The father with golden wings shakes his head at what his friend said, "Would you just-ju-chill, Lute. F-k..." He turns back to his army, "Anyway, whoever brings me Vaggie's head gets... Uh, I dunno, a million Heaven bucks? How about that, huh?"
The Exorcist army cheers together while the smallest angel's face holds a confused expression. She tries to block out any thought of how what Lute said would even work.
Adam raises his hand in the air, Haha, yeah! Ladies, let's f-k s-t up!" A guitar sting can be heard in the background, "ATTACK!"
Cain flaps his wings proudly to get into the air, "Onwards!"
Lute holds out her sword and points to the portal, "FORWARD!"
From their command, the army starts to flood through the portal. Everyone wants a taste of the action... Well, everyone except for Viola, that is. She flies through the portal but hesitates alongside her comrades while a good chunk of them fly towards the hotel immediately. She briefly stops in the air when she sees a large, transparent, black dome surround the hotel, her wings keeping her stable so she wouldn't knock into it. She saw some of her comrades fly into the shield and have to back off. Unknown to her, Viola's hesitation caught the attention of a certain radio demon...
Adam and Lute fly together above Viola and watch in confusion from outside the force field. The first man raises an eyebrow at the black dome, "The f-k?"
His lieutenant shouts, "They appear to have some kind of shield, sir!"
The masked man mocks her, "Oh, really? I didn't see this giant f-king shield in front of me, YOU DUMB B-H! NO S-T!" The white haired woman scowls at his sarcastic tone and insult.
The force field sprouts tentacles and begins killing Exorcists that are on the outside with angelic spears. It stabs through a few of the black winged angels. This made Viola fly further away from the dome and behind her two bosses and next to Cain.
This made Adam raise his eyebrows in anger, "That's how they can kill us? With our own weapons?! F-king weak, dude!"
Cain nods before flying closer to the force field, "I know right! Don't worry, Dad! I got this!" He tries to slice the dome with his black sword, to no avail. This made both his father and Lute look at each other in annoyance.
Even Viola rubbed her forehead while watching him attempt to cut open the shield. She stares down inside the shield, spotting Vaggie defend her girlfriend and the princess's little brother from the Exorcists inside the shield... She let out a breath of relief at the sight of this...
While their allies inside the dome started to fight the sinners in front of the hotel, Adam and Lute are still hovering over the force field with Viola behind them with a worried look on her face. Cain is still trying to slice the dome open with his sword, though he is now leaving dents. The first man shakes his head in annoyance, "I'm f-king over this!" He draws his backwards before flying straight at the shield. With one punch, he causes it to dissipate, leaving the hotel exposed to the rest of his army.
Once he broke through, the golden winged man flew around to fight a certain radio demon... Cain quickly flies forward to join the fight, looking for the goat prince. Though he is stopped by a few cannibals.
Lute started to fly forward until she noticed that Viola... Wasn't moving. She turned around, "Viola... Why aren't you going down there and doing your job?"
Viola took off her helmet to speak clearly, "Well, you see, Lieutenant... I don't want the job anymore." She dropped the helmet to the ground and ripped the collar of her uniform off, revealing her golden locket and a blue shirt from her formal wear, "So in a way, I quit." She dropped her spear below, which barely missed one of the other members of the army. The smaller exorcist even took her long gloves off.
The lieutenant flew closer to her with a glare, "Quit? You don't get to quit!" She grabs the smaller Exorcist by the collar, "We're in the middle of a battle!"
The smaller exorcist shook her head, "See, the thing is, Lute. I had a realization last night... I remembered that..." She then grabbed her own halo, "I can make my own choices..." She then snapped the ring in half, "And I refuse to be pushed around by you or anyone else any longer!" When she snapped her halo, she ceased all movement in her wings, dragging them both downward.
The smaller exorcist smiled at her, "You did always say I was dead weight! Didn't you?"
Lute shouts at her, "Oh you b-!"
One powerful flap from Viola's wings caused her to make a sharp turn and release herself from the bigger Exorcist's grasp. She saw the daggers Lute glared at her with and proceeded to fly away from her, dropping the broken pieces of her halo to the ground.
Viola stops herself in the air above the prince after being let go by the lieutenant, "Just try and catch me!" She flies away from the bigger Exorcist, still flying near Vaggie...
Back in Heaven, Emily still lays in her room. She watches from her large window to see if maybe, just maybe, her girlfriend didn't have to go this time. She grabs her blanket and tugs it around her shoulders. The letter in her hands is held tightly before she looks down at it. She sees the drawn picture of herself next to her name and let out a breath, "...Okay, Viola. What did you want me to see?"
The blue angel opened the letter to read:
'My dear Emily,
I hope this letter finds you well! ...Okay not the best way to start this letter but I figured it would be nice to say.
I want to make things up to you and... I don't want to be seen like... I'm a monster... I don't want to be that for you or myself. And I refuse to lie to you anymore.
So... When I'm down there, I'm going to set things right! I promise! If Charlie's hotel really does redeem people, then it should work for me, right? I'm going to try my best for you, darling. And if something really bad happens to me, I'm sorry.
Love, your adoring girlfriend, Viola.'
Emily's eyes widened in realization after reading the letter...
Eventually throughout the fight, Viola finds the collar of her formal wear suddenly be yanked by a much stronger hand. She tried to squeeze the wrist to let her go but it didn't work, "Aw c-p you caught me."
Lute flies forward with the smaller Exorcist in tow, "What about your little girlfriend?"
The tiny Exorcist glared back at her, "Emily wouldn't want me to participate in this anymore! She hated that I was even involved in them in the first place! She wouldn't want anyone to kill each other! And this whole event wasn't to protect her! It was just to kill people who made mistakes!"
The bigger angel shifted her hand from her collar to her neck, "Enough! I should have known you would have betrayed us the moment you got close to Vaggie!"
Viola struggles in her grasp and starts to strike the bigger Exorcist. She attempts to kick Lute in the stomach but it doesn't affect her. She rears back her fist before sending it into Lute's left eye and it does stun her! But not enough to force Lute's hand off her neck, which only squeezed tighter.
The bigger angel shook her head before glaring at Viola with her bruised eye, "You want to be like your precious Vaggie so bad? Here! I'll help!"
Lute holds her sword up in the air and swings down at her...
To Viola, it is like time slowed down... The small Exorcist looks up in horror at the sword coming down at her and she thinks to herself 'I beg you, God... If this is how my life ends... Let me see a happy dream. Just once...' In her mind, she sees a vision of Emily kissing the feather she had given her a long time ago...
Suddenly, she feels the weight of the lieutenant get flung off of her. However, she still feels the metal of the blade sink into her body and lets out a scream, "Aaaaaaagh!" The momentum Lute is hit with forces both her and her sword to land away from the smaller angel. She turns and clutches the left side of her face.
Vaggie gets up after tackling Lute and moves to Viola's. The smaller angel quickly opens both her eyes and pushes her, "I'm fine! Thank you! I'm fine, we gotta keep going!" On the left side of Viola's cheek, there is now a deep cut underneath her eye from Lute's blade. Golden blood flows down her cheek and spills under her chin, unnoticed by the smallest Exorcist.
Though Viola could have sworn she felt her heart flutter at the same time when she saw Emily kissing the feather...
Back in Heaven, within the smaller Seraphim's own room... Emily's eyes widen at the letter, "She's going to try and redeem herself at the hotel? Viola..." She rereads it again just to make sure, "Oh my gosh..." She puts the letter on her pillow before taking a deep breath, "Please... Be careful..." She wraps her soft blanket around her shoulders, hearing her heart beat faster and faster.
But then suddenly, she hears her girlfriend's voice in her head. Upon hearing her prayer, the Seraphim picked her head up fully and looked around, "Viola?"
The Seraphim looks back at her pillow and puts her hand inside the case. She pulls out the black feather her girlfriend gave her so long ago and stares at it. She brings the feather to her lips to give it a kiss, "Viola... You will be safe, please."
Back at the battle, Viola looks around for a weapon. Dodging blades from her former comrades could only last for so long. She looked around the battlefield and at one point, had to sink down onto her knees to dodge a few jabs from the other Exorcists and crawled underneath them to get away from them. She shook her head, "Come on... There has to be something!"
Her hand then bumped into a hunk of metal and she looked down at the object: An angelic shotgun.
The tiny Exorcist raised her eyebrows at the weapon, "...That'll work!" She picks up the black shotgun with glowing white lines around the edges. She pointed the weapon at an oncoming Exorcist flying towards her and fired a glowing white bullet through her chest. She stumbled on her feet, the kickback nearly knocked her off her feet, "Woah! ...This really will work."
Viola suddenly heard a shout before following a familiar flying cat sinner around the battlefield...
Husk flies around the hotel, throwing his playing cards at multiple Exorcists, "These f-king angels won't stop coming!"
Angel is shooting them all with his tommy gun near him. He lets out a laugh at his friend's unintended joke.
The cat demon actually smiles at him, "Okay, I walked right into that one." He shakes his head, "And new girl ain't exactly much help!"
The pink sinner sees an Exorcist advancing on two of the Egg Boiz and turns to his friend, "Hold that thought." He runs to defend the eggs, but one of them was already slain by the Exorcist. Angel blocks the Exorcist's sword with his tommy gun, before revealing his third set of arms with a pair of guns. He shoots at the black winged angel until she falls to the ground, dead. He turns to the tiny demon, "You alright, squirt?"
The small egg demon looks up at the sinner in fear, "I nearly scrambled myself!"
Angel Dust pats him on the head, "Get somewhere safe, okay?" He turns to fight an oncoming Exorcist with her spear pointed at him but then hears a loud gun shot.
He peers over his shoulder to see Viola with a shotgun loaded with angelic bullets in her hand... Albeit on the ground due to the recoil from the gun.
Viola, with the new deep cut underneath her left eye, rubs the back of her neck awkwardly before getting up, "Sorry! Never used one of these things before! Didn't expect it to knock me to the ground like that!"
Angel blinked at her shrugs his shoulders, "Hey, I ain't complain'! Nice shot!" Though both are suddenly knocked off their feet by a huge explosion...
Eventually, she hears a large noise that sounds like metal being moved against metal and gets up from the ground she landed on. Viola looked up to see a blimp start to move into the air before walking over the spider demon she just saved. The tiny Exorcist held her hand out for him, "Hey, uh, you need some help."
The pink sinner grabbed her and allowed her to yank him upwards. He walked forward to join the rest of the group with her using her arms to support his weight upwards.
Sir Pentious' airship starts up and lifts itself off of the hotel. Everyone else watches from the battlefield.
Charlie's eyes widen at the airship, "Pentious?"
Francis raises his arms, "This is NOT plan B but if it works, I'll take it!"
Angel Dust walks forward, being held up by Viola, "That crazy motherf-ker."
The Exorcist looks around, "Uh what... What is he doing? What's going on?"
The airship flies towards Adam, aiming the death ray at him. An Egg Boi looks at his boss, "Target in range!"
Sir Pentious shouts while pointing his should in the air, "Fire!"
The airship edges closer and closer to Adam with the death ray charging up.
The first man turns and notices it, "Oh, whoop!" With one blast from his finger, Adam incinerates the airship and everyone inside it. He blows the smoke that emitted from his finger, "Haha, that coulda been ugly!"
Everyone stares in horror from the ground.
Charlie covers her mouth, "No!"
Angel Dust leans over the new ex-Exorcist helping him up, "F-k..."
Viola couldn't help but look away but still provided support, "I..."
The blonde's eyes widen in distraught, "No..."
The spider demon shakes his head, "You did good, buddy..."
The fallen angel put a hand on his back, "Hey... I, um... I'm sorry about your friend..."
Charlie sinks to her knees while crying, "No, no, no..."
Both Vaggie and Francis rush over to try and comfort her. Her girlfriend puts her hands on her shoulder, "Charlie, I'm so sorry..." Her little brother hugs her, "Charlie, I'm sorry... I promise no one else is going to die."
After turning into her demon form, Charlie and her girlfriend take to the sky on Razzle and Dazzle. Both the flying goats have been turned into their larger, dragon forms. However, Dazzle is struck down by Lute, which sends the both of them and the former exorcist inside the hotel. Vaggie falls off of the dragon and gets up. She sees Lute raise her sword out of Dazzle's chest, and they stare each other in the face.
The lieutenant flicks the blood off her sword, "Before I take your life, I'm going to tear that other eye out of your face!"
The former exorcist holds up her fists, "Try it, b-h."
A fight bell rings in the air before Lute lunges at Vaggie, the former Exorcist manages to throw her into the wall. Lute flies back at Vaggie and throws her to the ground, hitting her head against the floor repeatedly with her ponytail. Vaggie manages to flip her over, but the lieutenant throws her into the wall again, before lunging at her with her sword. Vaggie rolls to dodge and Lute rams her sword into the wall. Pulling it out, she leaps at Vaggie and smashes her head into the table which breaks the injured woman's nose. Vaggie grabs Alastor's radio and hits Lute with it to get her off of her.
After making sure Angel was stabilized with Husk, Viola flies around while barely dodging the blades of her former allies, "Okay, okay, gotta find Vaggie! Gotta find Vaggie! Gosh dang where did she go?!" She barely dodges a spear thrown her way and the Exorcist that followed it, "Hey watch it!" She then sees the prince get punched into one of the floors of the hotel, "...Maybe I should help him first." She flapped her wings to get to the same level the boy was thrown into. Her shadow flowed over the windows, strangely still showing her halo within the dark counterpart of herself...
The small Exorcist flew into the hole in the building upon seeing Francis start to lose the fight... She takes note of his bigger, more demonic form, showing off four black, dragon-like wings, longer horns and a long, spiky black tail with the goat fur attached to the end.
Cain kept his hands around the goat boy's neck, tightening his grip, "First... I'm going to end you. Then, I'll silence your sister. Your stupid dad. Everyone YOU LOVE! I will be the end of ALL of them!"
Francis glared daggers into Cain's face, he couldn't speak since he was getting choked. He reaches for his sword but can't seem to reach it...
Until Viola tackled the golden boy with enough strength to knock him away from the boy, "Oh no you don't!" Suddenly, Viola stood in front of Francis after sending Cain flying, "Not if I have anything to say about it!"
The goat prince poked his head up from the rubble, "...Viola?"
The former Exorcist nods her head at the boy. "I got your back!" She then ducks at the last second of Caine's sword before turning to punch him in the gut, sending him backwards.
Cain glares at her when he recovers, "Traitor! How could you betray us like that! For a bunch of sinners!"
Viola shrugged at him before holding her fists up, "No, not sinners. There's something I have to do to set things right, Cain. And if you plan to interfere, I can't promise your safety."
The black haired man pointed his sword at her, "Oh yeah! Well! ...F-k you too then! I never liked you anyway!" He charges at Viola before trying to slash at her again. He is then tackled by Francis, who then shoots fire from his mouth to separate the golden boy from them. But this doesn't deter Cain, which makes him try to stab at the boy. Francis backs away from the blade quickly before another stab his sent his way.
The former Exorcist reaches over to catch the blade in her hands but is lifted up by the black haired angel. He swings the sword around to make her hit the back of her head against the railing near them, knocking her out.
The woman could barely hear the prince cry out her name and breathe fire to protect her. The last thing she saw was him flying forward and punching the golden boy in the face, which flying outside the hotel and into the sky.
Francis quickly lifts the ex-Exorcist on his back, flies her out of the hotel and behind cover provided by Angel and Husk.
The spider demon turns around to see the knocked out new ally, "Hey, you okay? Come on, toots, wake up!" He lowered his gun to try and shake her awake, only for her to slump over more...
The cat sinner shouted for him, "Hey! I can't hold these angels off by myself forever!" He tosses another card at an Exorcist before his friend joined him in the carnage again.
The prince then looks up from the former Exorcist when he hears his sister's scream, "Charlie!" He flies out of the wreckage of the hotel to get to her. But unknown to him, Caine is already flying at him for a second round...
Soon enough during the battle, Lucifer had shown up to save the day. Though he accidentally broke the hotel down in the process, which caused the building to be nothing but rubble and debris. Upon seeing her knocked out friend, Vaggie picked Viola up onto her back. She looked up at her girlfriend while she is held by her father in the air.
Charlie smiles at her father before she hears Adam's shout. she looks and sees him charging up to them. Her eyes shift from their normal color back to the red sclera and yellow pupils, "Dad, look out!"
Lucifer raises an eyebrow while turning to look at the first man, "Huh?"
The Princess of Hell snarls while she uses her demonic powers to transform her right hand. She turns it red with darkened splotches and blocks Adam just as he was about to punch them.
Adam's eyes widen at her, "Whoa wait, what the f-k?!"
The King of Hell and Charlie glare at Adam menacingly, before they catapult him to the ground while he screams. the impact leaving a blast wave of smoke and a crater where he lay, his mask completely shattered. Which reveals his human face. He looks up and sees Lucifer in his fully demonic form while holding his daughter in her demon form. Francis flies down to perch onto his father's shoulder, both him and his sister A spark of flames emitting between the King's horns as his eyes glow blood red. Francis flies away from
Lucifer shouts at the man, "YOU COME AT ME, MY DAUGHTER AND MY SON!" His two children jump off of him before he lunges forward at the man, "DON'T FORGET, YOU'RE IN MY HOUSE, B-H!"
The King of Hell proceeds to punch Adam senselessly, fire coming from his hands as he does so. He laughs at Adam's pain before raising his hands in the air. Lucifer then summons a sphere of fire, preparing to finish him off. But then Charlie puts her hand on his shoulder, getting his attention.
Charlie shakes her head, "Whoa, whoa, Dad. He's had enough."
Francis coughs awkwardly, not saying anything before shifting his hand behind his back.
They all look down to first man, who lies motionless on the ground. The three royals then leave the crater, still staring at Adam.
Lucifer smirks at him, "Alright. How's mercy taste, you little b-h?"
Adam glares at him, "No..." He gets up, shakily, "You don't get to end this! I'm f-king Adam!" He follows them out of crater and faces gang, "I'm the f-king man, and you're just some f-king clown or something! I started everything on Earth! All of mankind came from these f-king nuts! You all should be worshipping me, you ungrateful, disgusting, f-king losers!"
Right after he says these words, a small knife is stabbed through him which makes Adam shout in pain. Everyone looks in shock as an angelic blade is stabbed right through his chest.
Vaggie shifts the smaller fallen angel to lift her higher on her back. She raises her eyebrows at this but smiles, "Woah!"
Lucifer points at the other man, "Hey, y-ya got somethin' stickin' outta your..." He briefly looks at his son before continuing, "Your thing there."
Francis's eyes widen at the injury and looks the first man up and down.
Adam collapses face first to the ground, revealing Niffty on his back. She holds the knife that is sticking into his back.
Charlie opens her jaw in shock, "Niffty?
The housekeeper stares blankly at Adam for a few seconds before smiling and viciously stabbing Adam over and over again. His golden blood starts to get all over her body, "STAB! STAB STAB! Hahahaha! Haha! Hahaha! Rueahahaha! Blood! Hahahaha!"
Francis feels his body start to tire out and Charlie sticks a hand out to stabilize him. He smiles at his sister before he caught sight of Cain stumbling onto his feet. He starts to growl at the son of the first man.
Cain stumbled as he crawled to the body, "Wha-Dad?!"
Francis growled, eyes still glowing as he stepped forward to confront the angel again. Only to be stopped by his father's hand in front of him, Lucifer shook his head silently. The prince blinked, his eyes turning back to their usual yellow and red color, before nodding back at his father. The King of Hell put a hand on his own son's shoulder, a sign of solidarity.
A little way away, Lute turns and looks in horror at Adam's slumped body, "NOOOO!" She rushes to Adam while Niffty skips off, turning him to face her. Adam gives her a small smile before dying.
Lute tries to shake the dead man awake, "Sir! Sir! Stay with me sir! ADAM!"
The others then come up to her while she holds him. Charlie, Francis and Lucifer all glare at them in their demonic forms.
Charlie holds her girlfriend close to her via her waist, "It's over."
Lucifer still keeps his hand on his son's shoulder while his voice shifts into his more monstrous tone, "Take your little friends, and GO HOME!" his voice then turns back to normal, "Please."
The lieutenant knew that the only option she really has is obeying him and picks up Adam's halo, "Retreat! All Exorcists fall back!"
With that command, all the surviving Exorcists sans Vaggie and Viola take off to the portal to Heaven. Lute scowls at the both of them before fully going through the portal. The portal in the air closes after Cain flies through it, but not before he sticks his tongue out at the goat prince.
Lucifer looks to the group with a smile, "So..." He sighs, "Who's up for pancakes?"
Only Niffty and Francis raise their hands... Everyone else just looks at him, unamused and tired...
Meanwhile back in Heaven, Emily quietly flew out of the Seraphim's building and to the promenade... The blue angel walked around the area by herself, wanting to get some fresh air and some time to think. She took a few deep breaths while thinking about her girlfriend's letter. She turned her head when she heard someone call out her name.
It was St. Peter, who was sitting by himself at a picnic table. He invited the Seraphim over to sit with him, "Wow, it's weird to see you without Viola... Normally she's always so close by you."
The white winged angel sighed before addressing her friend, "Yeah... About that..."
The golden winged angel smiled at the young Seraphim, "I know you're upset that she lied to you for all this time and yes, you have every right to be mad... I find myself quite nervous around her now too. But be sure to think about it from her perspective, Emily. I'm sure she wanted to tell you... But with Adam as a boss and well... Sera..."
Emily sighed in her seat, "Yeah, I've given her point of view a lot of thought too... And if Sera kept that a secret from me, she definitely made sure Viola kept it a secret the whole time we were together." She turned her head back to him, "That's what you're suggesting, right?"
St. Peter nodded his head, "That is what I am thinking, yes." He shifted in his seat nervously, "But, uh, please don't tell Sera I said that, okay?"
The Seraphim nodded back at him before getting up, "Don't worry, I won't. I... I'm going to apologize to Viola when... Wait is that?"
However, the portal opening in the sky above Heaven told the two all they needed to know. Every Exorcist who flew through was the same height, quickly letting them know that Viola was not among them and curiously, neither was Adam.
Emily flew up to the portal and looked through the crowd, "Viola? Viola? Oh dear... Just don't be..." She accidentally knocked into the lieutenant and her eyes widened at her injuries, "Lute! What... What happened? Where's-" She turns to see Cain quickly fly by her with a scowl on his face, covering the new deep gash on his lip.
Lute glared at her, "Your little girlfriend? The betrayer? She's lucky that Vaggie was there to save her a-s." She tossed a snapped in half halo for the Seraphim to catch, "Here! Take it. " She turned and flew away from the blue angel, who noticed the black eye...
The blue angel looked down at the halo and recognized it, it was girlfriend's for sure. She looked at the closing portal but smiled, "Viola... I can't wait to see you again."
After rebuilding the hotel, the first thing Vaggie did was clean the cut on Viola's cheek and cover it with a bandage... Seeing that she was still knocked out, she lay her friend in a bed in one of the new guest rooms. She slumped her shoulders in exhaustion when she left the room and spotted the princess, "Hey, um, Charlie... I know you don't know her all that well. But..."
Charlie smiled at the former Exorcist, "You want her to stay, don't you?"
Vaggie nodded her head before looking at her girlfriend, "Well, uh, yeah... If you don't mind. I really don't want Viola to get hurt down here. She's... Been through a lot."
The princess put her hands on her shoulders, "Aw Vaggie, it's okay. To be honest, I've been wanting to get to know her myself." She bounced on her feet, "Oooo! I can't wait for her to wake up! But no visitors for now until we know that she is awake and aware!"
Angel popped into their conversation, "Yeaaaah, Charlie, we know you're not gonna throw the gal out. I mean, she helped save me during the fight so I don't mind her stayin'."
Francis jumped up and down, "She saved me too! so she's got my vote."
Husk nodded his head while restraining Niffty from going into the room, "That's true and all but how do you know we can trust her?"
Charlie smiled at her family and friends, "Oh don't worry. If Vaggie trusts in her, I have full confidence in Viola. Besides, I have a very special and trusted ally watching over her, right now!"
While everyone was talking in the lobby, Viola stirred in her sleep. Her eyes opened within her own dream and she sat up, she couldn't see it but on her own face was a dark grey scar from when she was cut by Lute's sword. She woke up to see that she was in a dark room. Illuminated only by the blue light of a figure singing with her back turned to her. The former Exorcist raised her eyebrows at the figure, "Emily? What are you doing here?"
The figure resembling her girlfriend turned around and offered her hand to her. When she hesitates to take it, Emily put her hand on her cheek, right over her scar. She then gently took her hand in her own and put her other hand on her waist to lead her in a dance. Viola blushes before putting her other hand on Emily's shoulder.
The glowing version of her girlfriend began to sing, "You are the oceans grey waves... Destined to seek life beyond the shore, just out of reach... Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time, the path is yours to climb..."
"In the white light, a hand reaches through, a double edged blade cuts your heart in two. Waking dreams fade away. Embrace the brand new day..."
The glowing angel spins them both around, "Sing with me a song of birthrights and love. The light scatters to the sky above. Dawn breaks through the gloom, white as a bone, lost in thoughts all alone..."
Viola could hear echoes of the same voice within the room, "You are the oceans grey waves destined to seek life beyond the shore, just out of reach. Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time, the path is yours to climb!"
"Embrace the dark, you call a home... Gaze upon an empty white throne! A legacy of lies... A familiar disguise!"
Emily spins them both around again, "Sing with me a song of conquest and fate. The black pillar cracks beneath its weight. Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone, lost in thoughts all alone
Viola lifts her hand to spin the other around while she continues to sing, "The path you walk on belongs to destiny, just let it flow...
All of your joy and your pain will fall like the tide, let it flow Life is not just filled with happiness, nor sorrow...
Even the thorn in your heart, in time it may become a rose..." When she sings that verse, a thorn emerges from Viola's chest before becoming a red flower.
"A burdened heart, sinks into the ground. A veil falls away without a sound. Not day nor night, wrong nor right, for truth and peace you'll fight!"
Emily twirls them both around again, "Sing with me a song of silence and blood. The rain fall, but can't wash away the mud. Within my ancient heart dwells madness and pride..." She lets go of the former Exorcist to hug herself while still singing, "Can no one hear my cry?"
Viola reaches for her and Emily allows her to dance with her to sing... The glowing version of her girlfriend continues to sing, "You are the oceans grey waves destined to seek life beyond the shore, just out of reach. Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time, the path is yours to climb..."
Emily takes a breath before singing one more time, "You are the oceans grey waves..." She gently placed a kiss on her cheek before disappearing from the Exorcist's sight.
Meanwhile in Heaven, Sera and Emily are sitting in a room together. The smaller angel looks down at the letter from her girlfriend with a frown, "Viola... Please be back soon..." She also holds the wooden bird given to her by the prince of hell, while still thinking about the black winged angel.
Before the older Seraphim could comfort her sister... Suddenly, Sir Pentious rises up into the room within a golden light. He is now wearing a white, gold and blue tux with various hearts on his snake hood.
Sir Pentious looks around, "What? Where... Where am I?" His eyes widen upon seeing the Seraphims, "Oh, hello." He then awkwardly waves to the both of them.
Emily squeals in excitement upon seeing the redeemed sinner. Since she realizes that this is proof that the Hazbin Hotel works. Sera looks at the sinner with a mortified expression after coming to the same conclusion...
Once again in Heaven, the ocean waves wash along the beach. In a beach chair, a lone woman with a large purple beach hat and a purple bikini sits there, watching the sea. While her hair flows by the winds, Lute comes to her and drops Adam's broken halo on the ground in front of her.
The Exorcist glares at her, "Adam is dead. Your deal is done and I'm in charge now. Your brat is threatening the very foundation of Heaven. And if you want to stay here..." She leans down and pointing at the sea, "You're going down there." She then points at the woman, "And stopping that b-h! You understand me... Lilith?"
The woman, now revealed to be Lilith, stares up at Lute before she starts to glare at the Exorcist...
Back in the realm of reality within the bed, Viola shook her head slowly... She blinked and rubbed her eyes before noticing the a one eyed cat staring at her from the foot of the bed. She awkwardly waved at the animal, "Um... Hello! Viola here!" She tilts her head at the cat while she looked into her eyes, "Who... Are you?"
She turned in the bed, "Wait, hold that thought!" The former Exorcist flexed her black wings and sighed in relief that they were still there, "Phew!" She turned back to the one eyed cat, "I'm sorry about that. And you are?"
The small cat made a motion that looked like she was laughing. She then gently placed her paw onto Viola's leg before crawling into the girl's lap and laid down, looking up at her expectantly.
Viola smiled at her, "Oh! You want me to pet you? I can do that!" She brushed her hand through the small demon's fur, "Awww, good girl!" KeeKee began to purr within her lap and then she stretched.
The Princess of Hell suddenly burst into the room, "Keekee's purring! That means you're trusted enough to stay!" Her excited outburst made the smaller Exorcist jumped in the bed.
The white haired angel nodded her head at her nervously, "Well... If you would have me. Sure, I'm technically a fallen angel but I feel like it would be like a sinner situation in a way. I... Want to redeem myself in my own eyes and in Emily's eyes too..." She kept petting the cat sitting in her lap at the thought of her girlfriend. She looked back at the host of the hotel, "So... Is it okat if I stay here?"
Charlie turned to the new guest with a smile, "Of course! I see..." She gestured into the air with glitter popping out of her, "So, Viola... Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!"
Meanwhile in Heaven, Emily walks into the courtroom, where she learned of her girlfriend's secret. The giant orb still laid there, just floating. She ponders for a second before snapping her fingers, summoning her own, smaller, glowing ball of light, "...Viola, please just... Give me a sign that you're alright! Anything..." But the blue angel smiles at a little glowing sphere in her hands upon seeing her girlfriend. She brushes a hand over Viola's bandaged cheek on the orb, "...Phew, I'm just so glad you're okay... Viola, I want you to know that..." She kisses the image of Viola on the forehead before continuing to smile at her, "I love you!"
The Seraphim notices her girlfriend blush and look around after the kiss... Almost like she felt a pair of lips on her forehead... After Charlie left the room for her to rest a bit more, she then saw Viola smile and look at her locket before saying, "I love you too, Emily..."
