Checking into Hazbin Hotel
CHAPTER 4
Radio Killed the Video Star
In John and Liz's room, the Succubi woman sat there on the big king size bed, feeling sad and shocked after her boyfriend told her everything what had happened at the meeting in the Heaven Embassy, telling her how the leader of the Exorcist Army (who to Liz's big surprise is actually THE Adam) wouldn't listen to Charlie's plan to save souls by redeeming them or even paying any kind of attention to if there was a mistake when John was send to Hell.
"That motherfucker!" John angrily yelled while he was walking the floor back and forth, "That… childish and arrogant son of a bitch! He wouldn't even listen to a thing I was saying or even caring how much I miss my daughter! Even saying how 'fun' it is to slaughter millions of souls every year in Hell, how 'entertaining' it is that we deserve to suffer like that." he stopped when thinking how Adam rejected Charlie's plan "What's worse, Adam didn't even care a thing about my plea… or even of Charlie's hotel!"
Liz shook her head, not believing what she was hearing "I can't believe this. That this 'Adam' thinks it's fun to kill every sinner on sight and not even caring for any kind of redemption for any of us." She stood up and hugged him, feeling sorry for him while tears formed in her eyes "I'm so sorry that you couldn't convince them so you could get back to your daughter."
John sighs and hugs her back as he said, "Not to mention that they're coming back now twice a year now to wipe out as many sinners as they can find." Thinking back how he and Liz barely survived the last Extermination, made John afraid that things are getting even more harder, fearing he might lose Liz in the process. "I won't let anything happen to you, Liz."
Though Liz was scared too, she trusted her boyfriend and formed a small smile as she rested her head on his chest and covering her devil's tail around his waist "I trust you…"
Still hearing outside the sounds of screaming and panic cause of the announcement that the Exorcist will return in 6 months, Liz told him as they slowly broke the hug, "It's been a long day, baby… Let's just get some rest and see what to do tomorrow."
John sighs before giving a nod, "Okay…" he walks over to the big window, going to close the curtains while Liz went to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
Just before John closed the curtains completely, he looked up at the sky to the dot that is Heaven, looking sad. But said with some determination, "Just hang on, Lucy. Daddy's gonna find a way to get to you. I promise," he sighs sadly, "Goodnight, pumpkin…" and closed the curtains.
That night, John and Liz were asleep in each other's arms, being naked. As the two of them are so much in love, neither cared to wear anything when going to sleep. However, because of recent events, John didn't feel to have another moment of amazing sex with his girlfriend. Liz too, feeling how upset John had been since his and Charlie's heartbroken failure during their meeting with Adam, also knew it wouldn't be a good idea to force John to have passionate sex.
She didn't care as Liz would do anything to comfort John, even if he wasn't in the mood for sex.
As the clock showed it was 3 AM, Liz's cellphone rang.
Liz groaned as she opened her sleepy eyes, seeing she was being called "Uugh…! Oh, for fuck's sake. Who would call me in the middle of the night?" she asked herself quietly as she went over her nightstand and took her phone.
Despite she wanted to sleep, she was curious to see who was calling. But as she checked, Liz became angry as she saw it was Valentino who called.
She picked up the phone, saying coldly, "What?"
"LIZ, YOU FUCKING BITCH! YOU'VE BEEN SKIPPING WORK FOR NEARLY A WEEK! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" Valentino yelled into the phone, much to Liz's dismay.
"That's none of your goddamn business!" Liz said, "And for the record: I quit. I'm not gonna work in you fucking club or do any shit for you anymore."
Liz could hear Valentino growl over the phone "YOU UNGRATEFUL WHORE! YOU CAN'T QUIT! I OWN YOU, BITCH! AND WHEN I SAY YOU GO TO WORK, YOU-"
Liz angrily hanged up the call and quickly blocked Valentino's number "Go fuck yourself, you shit-moth. When I say, 'I quit', it means, I fucking quit!"
After putting her phone away, Liz snuggled back to John and embraced him while she sweetly smiled.
John gave a soft moan, asking her with a sleepy voice, "Mmmm… who was that, babe…?"
Liz shook her head, not wanting to upset her boyfriend any further and said with a little lie, "Don't worry. Just some asshole who'd dialed a wrong number."
Both then went peacefully back to sleep.
But as things seems alright, a red smoke came from Liz's phone which moved over to her, entering her mind which made Liz uncomfortable.
Valentino contacted Liz through her mind, saying with his sinister voice, 'You can't escape me forever, baby. Don't forget that you're under contract, remember?'Liz groaned, trying to fight the voice in her head "No… You don't own me, you hear? Go away… Go away…!"
Valentino chuckled evilly 'Hahahaha. You actually think you can quit me that easily and take a new turn in your pathetic afterlife? Remember, it was I that found you in the dirt, who gave you work and a roof over your head. And this is how you thank me? You hurt me, Lizzie.'"Go away...!"
Then, Valentino's voice became angrier 'Wherever you go, I will always find you, Lizzie. I own your soul, and I can do with you whatever I want! You can never quit me! YOU ARE MY SLAVE!'Liz's eyes popped open, enraged, she grabbed her phone "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" and threw away the phone, breaking it as it hit the wall!
John shockingly awake "Liz…? What's wrong?!" he asked worriedly.
Liz panted as her anger cooled down. When she broke her phone, Valentino's voice finally went silent in her mind. Tears formed in her eyes and embraced John.
"I'm not going back to him, baby…!" Liz cried "Never… Never again!"
John could feel somehow that it was Valentino who was tormenting Liz, probably after he tried to call her, causing Liz to break her phone in her attempt to break the link between her and her abusive boss.
John frowned that Valentino still wouldn't leave Liz alone but felt proud at her for fighting her boss' ownership over her.
He softly strokes her back, saying softly, "It's okay, Liz. It's over now."
The next day…
After they took a shower together and dressed themselves, the two lovebirds got dressed into their outfits for the day. John was now wearing a black t-shirt, long jeans, sneakers and a jeans jacket, and Liz was wearing a purple tank top with a pink heart on it, black short and black high heel boots.
Hand in hand they left their room and walked down the stairs, entering the lobby, seeing Vaggie sitting on a chair, looking a bit worried her girlfriend and the hotel now had half the time before the next Extermination to redeem sinners, as the leader of the Exorcist Army has now moved the Extermination to take place in 6 months instead of 1 year.
The spider-demon and gay porn-star, Angel was just lying on the couch while swiping on his phone uninterested, like he already knew that Charlie's redemption program was doomed to fail anyway.
Charlie however was nervously walking the floor back and forth while her cyclops cat Keekee followed her owner around.
"Okay," Charlie began "So the Extermination is coming in 6 months instead of a year. No big deal!" she said with a mixture of confidence and rising stress "Just a little setback. Nothing we can't handle. Just angels cutting our timetable in half. But who needs a year to save souls? Am I right?" She stopped when her anxiety was starting to overwhelm her, getting to the point to almost go manically "And next time, when they cut the time in half again and again, we'll just handle it, RIGHT?!"
Vaggie quickly grabbed her girlfriend's shoulders, ensuring her to prevent her from going into an emotional meltdown "Yes, we will."
John and Liz came over to them, with John adding, "There is still time, Charlie. I'm sure you will figure out something. We all will figure out something."
Liz nodded.
This warmed Charlie's heart that John and Liz believed in her, with Vaggie forming a smile.
Angel however rolled his eyes "Oh, please, ya had less than half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit. And now…" he got several angry messages from Valentino, which made Angel nervous "Ain't no silver lining this time toots."
Charlie, with John and Liz's support, felt a bit more confident and ensured, "Sure there is. We just have to look a little harder for it."
"Well, while you're lookin, the rest of Hell is going nuts." Angel said as he showed them live images of sinners and demons panicking in the streets of Pentagram City "People are already freaking out about the news. Looking at what's happening in the Doomsday District."
When Charlie checked the images, a message popped up on Angel's phone which made Charlie confused "Err, what is a 'donkey show'?"
Angel quickly puts his phone away while he nervously smiled "Aah! Heh… nothing! My boss, Val, is just freaking out about the news, too." Clearly, he was lying that Valentino is still bothering him to make him come back to the porn studio and film more porn vids for him "Like I said, everyone's losing their shit."
That made Vaggie to think that these desperate times might be a great opportunity to recruit more sinners to be redeemed "Yeah, that's true. Sinners are desperate. Maybe desperate enough to try anything to escape the Extermination?"
Charlie gasped before smiling brightly "This is the perfect time to recruit more sinners for the hotel!"
Liz nodded, seeing the benefits of this chaotic and uncertain times, "Yes! If we go out there, we might actually find new sinners to join the hotel."
John took a peek through the window, seeing many sinners and demons screaming in panic "Hmmm. You think it's a good idea to go into the city now, Charlie?" he closed the window and rejoined them "It could be dangerous out there."
"Well, it's not like people are just going to show up on our doorstep." Charlie said.
Suddenly, part of the hotel's wall was blown up by a green explosion, creating a big hole close to Husk's bar!
"What the fuck?!" Liz called in shock.
When they all checked outside, they saw a mechanical steampunk blimp carrying lots of guns and weapons floating in the sky near the hotel.
Seeing it was Sir Pentious' war machine-blimp, John narrows his eyes in annoyance "Oh, great. It's that guy again."
"Show yourself, Alastor!" Pentious called out dramatically "Come and face-" but as he saw that Alastor wasn't at the wall he'd just blown up, but spotting him a level higher while drinking some tea at his balcony "Oh, there you are…"
Alastor, after taking a sip from his teacup, glanced at the blimp unimpressed.
"Face my wrath!" the cobra-demon shouted.
"Who are you?" Alastor asked with a raised eyebrow while still showing his usual grin.
"Who am I? Who am I?" Pentious asked, first feeling insulted before he evilly smirked "I am the great Sir Pentious! Inventor, architect of destruction, villain extraordinaire!"
Alastor materialized into a cloud before reappearing next to Charlie, Angel, Vaggie, John and Liz.
One of Pentious' Egg boiz nodded "Woo! You tell 'em, boss."
Niffty, after climbing on John's head, gasped with fascination at Pentious' blimb, making her grin maniacally as she always has a thing for evil people "Ooh, he's a bad boy."
While John puts Niffty down, Alastor simply chuckles as he shrugs "Huh, well if all that's true, you'd think I'd have heard of you."
"I attacked you literally last week." Pentious reminded him.
Alastor cocks his head, looking as if he didn't remember or simply didn't care.
"We've done battle, like… 20 times." Pentious added.
"Well, you must have been really bad at this." Alastor said.
"SILENCE!" Pentious yelled, feeling insulted "Now cower! For when I've ssslain you, the almighty Vees will finally acknowledge ME as their equal!"
Niffty smiled bright, liking Pentious' evil bidding "Ooooh!" but then got confused and asked "Wait, who are the Vees?"
"Oh, nobody important." Alastor told her.
Meanwhile, at the Vees' headquarters…
Sitting on a chair in a large room, surrounded by possibly hundreds of monitors, a technology-demon smirked evilly as he tapped his razor-sharp nails and typed very fast on the keyboard, downloading his latest add into the systems, making everyone in Pentagram City who owned a TV, tablet or phone from his company see it.
The commercial showed the newest developed spy drone, while the add said:
"New VoxTek designer voyeur scopes. Peeping on the neighbors has never been more stylish. VoxTek! Trust us with your money!"
Everyone who watched it were immediately hypnotized and rushed to the nearby store to buy the new VoxTek spy drone, not caring how much money they spend on it.
Then another commercial showed on all the TV's, tablets and phones.
"This week's episode of 'YEAH, I FUCKED YOUR SISTER, SO WHAT?' is brought to you by VoxTek. Trust us with your entertainment!"
Back with the technology-demon, who smirked evilly as the monitors, showing all the customers who bought the new spy drone and also who blindly looked at every commercial, add and tv-show VoxTek made, sparked with glowing blue electricity, fueling the technology-demon with more energy and power, making him rise up and laugh manically as he consumed all the newly earned powerboost "Muhahahahahaha! Now that's good television!"
This technology obsessed businessman is named Vox, head and CEO of VoxTek, and Overlord over all the modern technology, entertainment and news in Hell.
Together with the other 2 members of the Vees; The fashion Overlord Velvette and Valentino, the trio are the most powerful Overlord team in all of Hell.
Then, his TV-head suddenly showed he was getting a phone call. Vox courses the call from his screen-head and transfers it to another monitor using his electric powers, revealing to be Velvette in her studio, looking angry.
"Hello there, Velvette!" Vox greeted his associate as he sat back at his chair and took cup of coffee "How are you this hellish morning?"
"Oh, cut the shit, Vox. I need you up here now!" Velvette said.
"Whatever could be the problem, my dear?" Vox asked after taking a sip from his coffee.
"Your little boy toy is wrecking my department, while I'm trying to pull together a show and-" Velvette stated but was cut short as several of her workers ran away and screamed while a girl-demon was ripped apart limp to limp.
"THOSE FUCKING BACKSTABBING… BITCHES!" Valentino cursed in the background, clearly being the one who was causing chaos in Velvette's department.
Velvette looked back angry at the screen "Just get your ass here. NOW! Damn it, Valentino!" she angrily called to Valentino before she cut the call.
Vox sighs while he gets up and his smile fades "'Oh god. Here I go, Valentino.' Just another fucking day with Val." He readjusted his bowtie while walking up to a platform-elevator that rises up "Hey-hey-hey. Fuck my life." The technology-demon annoyingly says to himself.
As Vox made it to the ground level, he stepped out of the elevator before he puts on a smile as a crowd of reporters rush towards him, asking questions while holding their microphones to him.
"Mr. Vox!"
"Please, Mr. Vox!"
"Question for you over here, Mr. Vox!"
Vox allowed a female reporter to ask him the first question, with her asking, "Mr. Vox. What are your thoughts on the new Extermination deadline?"
Vox 'ensured' everyone as he stated, "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 to your protection." He made a tv appear and showed the newly security device being 'currently developed' in order to 'protect' his costumers from Exorcists-angels "We are pleased to announce… VoxTek Angelic Security is coming soon! Trust us with YOUR safety." When he said those last words with a dark grin, his left eye hypnotizes the crowd the same way as he does to the consumers.
One of Vox's managers then appeared, asking his boss nervously while he holds some files "Uh… sir, when did we begin working on Angelic Security?"
"30 seconds ago," Vox said to his worker in a annoyed way begore he instructed him while walking away from the hypnotized paparazzi "Try to get that 'bitch' Carmilla on the books and cancel all my appointments today. I have a fire to put out upstairs." He then quickly morphs his body into electricity and generates into the security camera on the wall, like quickly going to where he's needed.
Meanwhile, up at the highest floor of Vees' headquarters where the big Vees Penthouse was, where also Velvette's studio is, the staff in there were cleaning up everything after Valentino had wrecked the place.
The Fashion Overlord walked up to four designers holding up dresses to show her.
Velvette looked at each one of them, seeing how 'disgusted' all these dresses were "Ugh! No. Unacceptable. You're fired," she said to the first three designers before glaring at the fourth "What is this? Wrist ruffles?! Is this 1750?! BURN IT like the witches who wore it!"
As she sends the four designers away, Velvette was rubbing her eyes, trying to keep herself from exploding with anger as she feels none of her fashion employees know how to make true fashion, but her stress and anger was mostly caused by Valentino's recent emotional outburst.
That was when Vox appeared and quickly morphed back when appearing in a small bolt of electricity "Velvette! I can see you're busy. Tell me, where's our hot-headed friend now?" he asked her.
Velvette annoyingly turned to Vox "Up in his tower, waiting for a 'flat-faced' prince to calm him down!"
Vox sighs "And uh, what's got him so out of sorts today?" he asks, wanting to know why he's so pissed off about now.
"Who knows? But he tore up my best model." He pointed to the torn-up corpse pieces who used to be her best model but was brutally slaughtered cause of Valentino's outburst "And you know, the show can't wait for that unlucky bitch to pull herself back together!" she then calls to a different model "MELISSA! Get over here!"
Melissa, a white skinned demon-looking girl with horns appeared and quickly runs onto the platform and Velvette uses her Overlord powers to change her outfit by swiping her hand, to pick an outfit to show on the fashion show "No. No. Hideous. I want to die. Eww." But as she picked the right one, she smiles "Oh, yes. that's the one."
"Well, it looks like you have everything under control here." Vox said, seeing he's not needed to help Velvette.
"Of course, I do! Fuck you!" she flips him off "Now shoo! Take care of the piss baby." She told him before going up her phone to text the people of the fashion show that she has the outfit to show and a replacing model.
Vox left and went up the big stairs, walking to a door with lots of hearts on top of it, showing it was Valentino's big room. Two female moth-demons greeted Vox and opened the door for him. as Vox enters, he finds Valentino sitting on his couch surrounded by a fog of red smoke.
When Valentino notices Vox, he sits up with fury in his eyes "Fucking finally!" he throws away his drink and orders a Robo Fizz "Kitty! Another drink!"
When the Robo Fizz named Kitty quickly left to get Valentino a new cocktail.
"Can you believe what that piece of shit and that fucking cunt did? THE BITCHES!" he angrily took the new drink and tosses it to Vox "THE UNGRATEFUL WHORES!"
Vox moves away making the drink hits the door and shatters on the floor. Confused, Vox asked, "Uhm… which whores are we talking about this time?"
"Fucking Angel Dust and that cocksucker Lizzie Simmons!" Valentino stated in fury as he walks up to Vox "WHO THE HELL ELSE WOULD I BE TALKING ABOUT?! Those backstabbing bitches walked out on me! ME! I fucking made them!" he sighs deeply "Without me Angel is just a bag of meat with some mildly entertaining holes and Liz just a whore-dancer who takes any cock up her ass."
Vox raised an eyebrow while he smiled "Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Angel and Lizzie quit?"
"NO!" Valentino angrily yells into Vox's face "They didn't quit! It's worse," he snaps Vox's phone from his hands "They fucking moved! BOTH OF THEM!" he yells as he tosses Vox's phone to the wall, breaking it in half "Angel thinks he can just walk in here, work, and then go home somewhere else? Can you FUCKING believe it?!" he walks over to a closet "And Liz…?! She dares to have the nerve telling me she won't strip anymore and refuses to show up at the club when I'M ORDERING HER TO?! Now they're off and shack up with Lucifer's 'bimbo' daughter!" he opens the closet, showing it was filled with lots of different guns and rifles.
Hearing where Angel and Liz are living now surprised Vox "Angel and Liz are… living with Lucifer's daughter?"
"Yeah, that bitch called Chuckie or Chandler, or… I dunno- Something mannish like that," Valentino states, not really knowing Charlie's name or just simply didn't cared and picks out two long pistols, with one being a revolver and the other a semi-pistol "She's got this hotel and…" he turns to Vox, posing while holding up his two favorite guns and asks in a relaxing sexy tone "Which of these makes me look sexier?"
Vox knew what Valentino had in mind and knew this wouldn't turn out good for their organization's image. He chuckles before narrowing his eyes at him "What are you doing, Val? You're not going over there." He says while his left eye changes to show his simmering anger.
Valentino however loads up his guns "Those fucking cunts are gonna remember who owns them. I'm gonna FUCK everyone in that rancid shit hole, I swear to God!"
"VAL!" Vox yells distorted while grabbing Valentino by the collar, but quickly calms down and states "Hehe. Think about it," he walks with him towards the large window, taking away one of Valentino's guns and puts it in his pocket "Our brand is, perfection. And what do you think chasing whores around town will do for our image?"
Valentino groans "Um… fuck it up?"
"Right!" Vox says with a smile "Do you want people thinking you can't control your employees?"
Valentino shook his head "No."
"Exactly! And hey, you still have them under contract. They're not going anywhere! So… you should…?" Vox asks, waiting for Valentino to say it.
"Do… nothing?" Valentino wanders.
"Great idea!" Vox cheers while a wining sound at a casino played on his tv-head "Now that's why they pay you the big bucks." He softly taps Valentino's cheek.
The moth Overlord sighs annoyed "Ugh. But I really wanted to shoot someone."
Vox chuckles and pats Valentino's shoulder "Well, let me call up the lowest earners this month." He offers an alternative for his partner to blow off some steam.
"Ohh, you know me too well, baby." Valentino chuckles and puts on a new cigarette while Vox puts it on for him before walking up to a couple of computer screens.
Truth be told, sometimes, Valentino and Vox were more than just business partners but sometimes are also seemingly lovers.
As Valentino takes a drag and softly blows out the red hearted smoke, he smirks as he knows something about the new Hazbin Hotel that will certainly get Vox's attention "Ya know… Angel and Lizzie aren't the only ones spending time at this ratty hotel with the devil's princessa.
Vox looks at Valentino for a moment with a raised eyebrow before turning his attention back on the computer "Oh? Who else is there? Someone who owes you money?"
Valentino darkly chuckles "Someone who owes us much more than money…" he forms a grin before he tells him "…The Radio Demon is there."
That really got Vox's attention as his eye went into an angry look and electricity sparked around his body as he clawed the console. " Hahaha. What did you just say?"
"You heard me." Valentino said with an evil grin.
Vox advanced on Valentino and said with raising anger. "Alastor came back, and he is with Lucifer's daughter, and that wasn't the first FUCKING THING YOU TOLD ME?!"
Valentino laughed as he walked up to the console. "Hahahaha. Hey, killing Alastor is your kink." He said before the monitor showed the outside of the Hazbin Hotel and Vox transferred himself to it and watched closely.
Back at the hotel…
The Hazbin crew watched as Alastor was easily beating Sir Pentious by taking his war machine blimp apart while the snake-demon begged. "Ahhhh! Stop, please!"
Alastor just amusingly chuckles, enjoying humiliating Sir Pentious.
Charlie tried to tell Alastor that he could stop now. "Um, Alastor? I think he's had enough."
But Liz tapped her shoulder. "Don't worry, Charlie. I'm sure Alastor won't kill him. That snake loser is way too pathetic for that."
"So true, my dear. But I think he does have a few more hits left in him." Alastor said while acknowledging Lizzie's comment.
Sir Pentious then fell out his machine's broken window. "AAAHHHH!" And landed in front of Alastor.
"Thanks for another forgettable experience." Alastor said with his usual tone.
But Sir Pentious wasn't done just yet. "Thank… you…for letting your guard down!" He said before using his tail to rip off a small piece of Alastor's coat but made him angry as he began glowing green. "HAHA! Yah!" Pentious said with triumph before getting scared as he realized what he just did. "Oh, shit." Before getting blasted far away by the Radio Demon. "AAAHHHH!"
John shock his head in annoyance. "All those machines and weapons, and he still fails. What a fucking idiot."
Alastor turned around and said with his usual grin, "Well, it looks as though I need a visit to the tailor." Before he began walking away. "Best of luck, chums."
But Vaggie tried to stop him. "Wait. You're leaving? Alastor, we need your help. We need you to do your job."
"We need a wall." Angel said plainly for Vaggie.
That made Alastor to stop and turn. "Of course. Can't let my new project fall into disrepair already. What would the papers say?" Before he snapped some black-and-white demons into form and left.
Angel was delighted as he pushed Vaggie away and chuckled with seduction as he walks up to them and talked with one. "Hahahaha. Hey, sweet cheeks. What you doing later? I love me a man with a giant… tool."
Lizzie was annoyed with this but came to no surprise as he's always doing that. "Angel, seriously?! Does he have to do that all the time you see a goodlooking guy?" He asked her boyfriend.
John calmed her down by holding her hand. "Don't worry about it, Liz. Let Angel have his fun, as long as he doesn't do it to me or any of us again."
Liz formed a smile as she looks at him before they embraced into a romantic hug.
Back at the Vees' HQ…
Valentino watched the whole thing through the monitor with anger. "See? Look at how he flirts with that guy, and he's not even paying!" he angrily expressed as how Angel was flirting with the demon. He then turned to Liz on the monitor, seeing her hugging John in a romantic way, clearly showing they're a couple. "Look at her! Hugging and cuddling that grey-skinned fucker!" he then wanders as he was sure he had seen him before "Who is that? Have I not seen him before?" before he turned got pissed as he looked at John "Whoever he is, I'm gonna fucking kill his whole fucking family." He said before trying to get Vox's attention. "Vox? Vox!"
But Vox was more focused on Alastor, getting angrier and angrier each second he laid eyes on his old rival. "That fucker is back!"
Valentino grins as he realizes the situation and walks to him "Yeah, I thought he was gone for good too."
"It's been seven years!"
Valentino leans up to him and pinches his tv-cheeks "Ahhh. You still pissed that eh almost beat you that time?"
Vox glared back at Valentino as it was clear that his last encounter with Alastor was very humiliating "Uh, fuck you!"
"Just saying." Valentino shrugs.
"Things have changed a lot since he left town!"
"That's for sure." Valentino said while he forms a grin on his face.
Feeling ready to face the Radio Demon this time and teach him a lesson he will never forget; Vox forms a smirk as he began to leave "I gotta send a message of who's REALLY in charge of things now!"
Vox later on enters his control room, marching with a confident smirk to his chair as electricity courses through his arm and sits on it, turning to the many monitors.
Welcome home
I'm gonna make you wish that you stayed gone.
Say hello to a new status quo
Everyone knows that there's a brand new dawn
Turn the TV OOOON!
Cables got connected to his TV-head, ready to broadcast his message to all of Pentagram-City, to show Alastor that he's the one in charge now.
Many tv-programs started, with only Vox in it, mocking Alastor with his song while like he was 'reading the news' before turning like he was hosting a talk show with only him being the 'guest'.
(Audience: Welcome to the show)
Vox: Top of the hour and we're discussing a certain has-been-
(Audience: Welcome to the show)
Vox: -who has been spotted cavorting around town after a seven-year absence
Did anybody miss him, did anybody notice?
More on tonight's program.
So, the Radio Demon is back in.
Why is he hanging around?'
What does that mean for your family?
Well, handily, I've got good news!
He's a loser, a fossil, and I don't mean to sound hostile,
Vox and audience: But the demon is a coward!
Vox then showed like he was a priest, preaching 'his message' before turning back to himself.
You can take that as a gospel
Pulling my viewers? Impossible!
I'm visual, he's barely audible!
Stop giving him the time of the day!
Don't listen to a word he'd say.
I hope he had a nice vacay!
Vox and audience: But he should have stayed away!
That was when Alastor left a business as he'd just finished getting his coat tailored, noticing the crowd watching the advertisement of Vox, forming his usual grin before walking away with an idea as Vox continues singing, first as a chef cooking a deer's head before walking down a hallway and hugs Valentino and Velvette, showing he now was stronger together with his new associates.
While he hid in radio, we pivoted to video.
Now his medium is getting bloody rare!
Hell's been better since he split,
Where's he been?
Who gives a shit?!
However, that was when Alastor had started his radio broadcast from his new radio station attached to the Hazbin Hotel.
Alastor: Salutations! Good to be back on the air.
As soon as Alastor started broadcasting, the whole crowd who was first watching Vox's tv message turned their attention to the old radio in the shop next to it selling 'Old Crap' as the sign on top of it says. All the crowd listened curious while Vox in the tv's looked very annoyed.
Alastor: Yes, I know it's been a while since someone with style treated Hell to a broadcast
Sinners rejoice!
Vox (in an annoying way): What a dated voice!
Alastor: Instead of a clout chasing mediocre video podcast-
Vox: COME ON!
Alastor: Is vox insecure, pursuing allure?
Flitting between this fad and that.
Is nothing working?
Vox (trying to stop Alastor from broadcasting): Ignore his chirping!
Alastor (Not being so easily stopped and continued broadcasting like nothing's happened): Every day he's got a new format.
Vox (Trying to get everyone's attention with multiple faces of his): You're looking at the future!
He's the shit that comes before that!
It wasn't long before all of Hell was hearing Alastor's radiobroadcast, with many surprised to hear the Radio Demon's messages again after seven years.
Alastor: Is Vox as strong as he purports?
Or is it based on his support?
He'd be powerless without the other Vees
Vox (Being nearly pissed, denying he's nothing without the other two Vees): Oh please!
Valentino and Velvette, both busy on their phones while sitting on different couches, hearing Alastor's radiobroadcast, couldn't deny that Vox is not as powerful and strong without their support, making them grin.
Alastor: And he's the sugar on the cream.
He asked ME to join his team.
Vox quickly tried to cover it up by electric morphing in front of the radio "Hold on!" but was clearly fooled by Alastor and was still in one of the tv's, making Vox even angrier.
I said no and now he's pissy, that's the tea
Vox was now really pissed off, which made his tv-face glitch and crash as he gets angrier by the second "You OOOLD timy PRINCK! I'll show y-you suff-ffering!" more electricity sparks around his body and his tv-face glitched even more, like he was on the brink to explode.
Alastor (Amusingly mocking him, knowing he's pissing off Vox): Uh oh, the tv is buffering
Vox couldn't handle his anger any longer, causing him to overload his circuits with static electricity and yells out in a complete outburst "I'LL DESTROY YOOOOU-YOU LITT-TT-TLE PI-PI-PIECE OF…"
Vox's screens and his voice overloads and crashes, causing all tv's and lights to spark and overload, which caused a citywide blackout.
Alastor chuckles " I'm afraid you've lost your signal."
With all of Pentagram City without power, the only place still with power was the Hazbin Hotel.
Alastor chuckles with a wide grin, showing that he wasn't taking anything lightly and to show that the Radio Demon, even after a seven-year long absence, was still a force to be reckoned with.
To make himself clear to all of Hell, especially to the Vees and Vox, Alastor sang into his radiobroadcast while transforming into his big deer-demonic form, which his face even was showing on Vox's last working monitor, showing Vox he never was in full control.
Let's begin
I'm gonna make you wish that I stayed gone
Tune on in
When I'm done,
Your status quo will know its race is run
Oh, this will be fun!Hahahahahahahaaaa!
Alastor makes on last evil laugh before cutting off Vox's signal throughout the city, leaving him dismayed that Alastor is still as popular and powerful as he was last time.
"FUU-UU-UUCK!" Vox yelled in dismay.
An hour later, in a big meeting room in the Vees' HQ…
After power had been restored in Pentagram City, Vox decided to call for an emergency meeting with Velvette and Valentino to discuss the matter about Alastor's return.
While a Robo Fizz passes out drinks for each of the Vees, Vox states with a serious look on his face, "We have a problem. Alastor is getting close to little princess Morningstar, so our main concern now is ensuring that no deal is ever struck between Lucifer's BRAT!" he slams at the table "and that smiling freak."
Velvette then asks, after finishing sending a text on her phone "Well, how exactly are we supposed to stop it?"
Valentino suggested with a big grin on his face while he was putting a lot of glue on his favorite revolver to decorate it with glitter, "Put something inside them. that's how I get the bitches to behave."
Vox thought of that, seeing that what Valentino suggesting that they should send someone as a spy or ask one of the Hazbin crew to spy for them. "Well, maybe someone on the inside isn't such a bad idea. Do you think Angel would or Lizzy?"
Annoyed, Valentino shook his head while adding more glitter on his revolver "That lanky prick won't even return my calls. And that bitchy-Lizzie had the nerve to block my number.
Taking a bit sip from his drink, Vox rose up while he was thinking "We need someone who Little Miss Bleeding heart would take in-"
However, Valentino, as he thought of Lizzie and seeing him together with the grey-skinned sinner at the Hazbin Hotel, he tried to remember as he was sure he'd seen the guy somewhere before "Just who is that fucking guy?" he took a big sip from his drink too "I'm so fucking sure that I've seen that shitface somewhere before. Was it in Lust Ring? Or during the special Orgy-Roulette? Where the fuck have I seen him before-"
Vox angrily slams his fists on the table, which caught the Moth Overlord's attention " VAL!" Vox angrily calls while his left hyphotic-eye twitches " Focus!" he then calms down while he states, "We have more important matters to attend than investigating who's Lizzie's new 'boyfriend'!"
Velvette nodded, agreeing with Vox "Yeah. Who the fuck cares that your number 1 stripper-whore is dating some lowlife?"
Taking a cigarette and taking a drag, Valentino frowns at the idea that one of his employees had the nerve to start dating without his knowledge "Oh, I'm gonna get him, alright!" he blew out the red hearted smoke "When I know who it is, he's a dead man!"
Vox glared at Valentino one more time with a very serious face while his tv-face glitched.
Seeing he wasn't kidding, Valentino sighs annoyingly "Ugh! Fine."
Vox gave a nod while going back to the main subject "So, who would Princess Morningstar take in who would be perfect to… be our bug?"
Velvette thought, thinking who's a perfect spy for them "Someone… pathetic, desperate, with no direct ties to us?"
Valentino rolls his eyes as he knew nobody who could be their ear on the inside "I employ every down on their luck loser this side of Hell. Who the fuck is left?"
Thinking for the perfect candidate, Vox slowly forms a big grin as he turns to his associates, knowing who's perfect for the job "I think, I have… just the one."
Many hours later, back at the Hazbin hotel…
While Alastor's black-and-white demons were nearly done fixing the hole in the wall, Charlie, Vaggie, John and Liz walked inside, returning after a long day of trying to find new recruits for the hotel.
Charlie sighs as she throws herself onto a couch, exhausted.
Angel, having been sitting on a different chair while swiping on his phone, asked with a grin on his face, "Soooo? How'd it go?"
John shook his head while sitting on a different couch together with Liz "No luck today."
Vaggie sighs "Not a single new recruit."
Angel shrugs as that came to no surprise to him and returns his attention on his cellphone "Yeah well, who would want to use their last days not fucking and fighting?"
But though today had resulted in 0 new recruits, John thought about something that he'd learned back when he was working that one time as a door-to-door salesman when he was still alive "Actually… just because today we couldn't recruit anyone, doesn't mean tomorrow we're out of luck?" he groans when thinking back about being a salesman which had nearly ruined him financially "Though I hate to admit it that I actually learned something 'useful' from that sales company, they were right about one thing," he tapes on his head with his finger "It all lies in here. With the right motivation, determination and with the right mindset, you can sell anything."
"But we're not selling anything, John." Vaggie said as the hotel isn't a sales company.
"I know that. It was just a metaphor," John stated "What I mean is… recruiting is almost just like selling something on the streets. We're selling basically to the people of Hell what the Hazbin Hotel has to offer. And just because today was a bad day, doesn't mean we should give up. As long as we keep up the right mindset, we'll find the right people to be recruited in no time." He said with a determined look, which made Liz proud at him and made Charlie smile at him.
Angel however snickers and asks him in a mocking way, "Oh, really? And how far has that 'mindset' of yours helped you so far as a 'salesman'?"
John frowned at Angel. "Do you always have to be such a pessimistic asshole the whole time?"
That was when Vaggie hears a knock on the front door. Curious who it could be, she walks over to it and opens the door, only to find to her surprise the cobra-demon, Sir Pentious behind it, holding his hat while he smiled.
"Why, hello my dear-" Pentious friendly greeted but was cut off by Vaggie punching him in the face before bringing out her spear at him, making him fall on the ground and cower in fear as Vaggie points her spear to his neck "Wait, wait, wait! I come in peace."
Vaggie glared at him, demanding to know, "What are you doing here?"
That was when Charlie appears behind Vaggie, wanting to know who was at the dear "Vaggie, what's the problem?" she gasps when seeing it was Sir Pentious and smiled "Oh! Hello again!"
As Vaggie puts away her spear, Sir Pentious slowly rose as he explained why he'd come back "I didn't come looking for a fight. I uhh… I heard that you're helping people… People who want to be better?" clearly, he was making some kind of excuse in order for Charlie to trust him.
Charlie gasps in excitement and smiles bright as she runs over to grab Pentious' hand "You hard right!" he then led him to the door of the hotel "Welcome to our home of healing, our resort of restoration, our-"
But Angel and John, who both were standing at the door thought Charlie was crazy to allow Sir Pentious in the hotel "Are you fucking nuts?" Angel said, cutting her off while Sir Pentious nervously smiled while hiding behind Charlie. "This chump was trying to kill us like literally 6 hours ago! And now you wanna bring him in here to live with us?"
John, not trusting Sir Pentious as he glared at him while ready to draw his pistol when needed, nodded after what Angel said. "You know, I'm with the porn star on this one," he pointed with his thump to Angel before he asked Pentious with a suspicious look in his eyes "What has brought up this sudden 'change of heart' of yours after you attacked the hotel?"
Pentious sighs, taking off his head and states with some drama "I… realized that after my latest ssssspectacular failure… that I had a… uhh…" he thought for a second before smiling bring "An… epiphany!"
"An epiphany?" John asks while he and Angel narrowed their eyes as they were sure that Pentious just made that up.
Charlie, believing Pentious, said with a smile and ensured the snake-demon "Don't you worry. The Hazbin Hotel is a place about second chances," she then turned to Angel and John "and who deserves one more than this slithery… slippery… special little man!" she gave him a gentle elbow while Pentious nodded.
Angel turned to Vaggie, asking her opinion as she's technically the hotel's security "Aren't you supposed to protect this place?"
But before Vaggie could say anything, Charlie gives her the puppy-dog eyes, begging Vaggie to give Sir Pentious a chance to live in the hotel.
Vaggie sighs, not being able to resist Charlie's puppy-eye look "I guess… he's not much of a threat without the war machine," Sir Pentious smiled bright while his cobra head lifts up with anticipation "or even with the war machine." Vaggie finished, making Pentious dripping down his head with depression.
Charlie was so happy that she hugs Vaggie and twirls her around "Oh! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" she then led Pentious into the hotel "Sir Pentious! Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!"
"Oh, no darling. Thank you. you won't regret this."
Angel and John just watched the cobra-demon entering while still narrowing their eyes.
"Aren't you gonna say anything, John?" Angel asks him.
John shrugs. "Look, I don't trust that slippery cobra for a second after what he did this morning, and also what he did last week," he reminded when he arrived at the hotel right when Sir Pentious first attacked the hotel "but Charlie is technically also my boss. So, if she trusts him… I guess we should give him a chance," he then enters the hotel.
Angel rolls his eyes as he follows John inside "Eh, I give him a week, tops."
Inside, Charlie gives Sir Pentious a tour of the hotel, introducing Husk to him and showing the fixed wall that he'd destroyed this morning "So, this is the bar and the bartender. This is the curtain, and this is the new wall after you broke last one," she was so enthusiastic, that she really wanted to show Pentious everything "Oh! This… this is-"
"Babe," Vaggie says as she grabs Charlie to calm her down "you don't have to show him every detail."
Charlie apologized while still smiling bright "Sorry, I'm just so excited to have another real guest at the hotel!"
Sir Pentious looks around while having a suspicious look, like he was searching for some secrets after he looks at his blue glowing watch.
Charlie walks up to him and introduced Pentious to the other Hazbin crew, starting with John and Liz "These are our fellow workers and residents, John, who you met already, and Liz,"
Liz raised an eyebrow at Pentious but greeted him anyway "Hey."
Then Charlie introduced Pentious to Niffty, who was playing with Keekee with a string "Over here we have our maid, Niffty."
Keekee hisses at the sight of Pentious and scatters away while Niffty turns to meet him, gasping while brightly smiling to see him again "the bad boy is back." She gets up on Sir Pentious and holds his collars while looking at him with an insane and sadistic smile and creepy whispering to him "Never leave me again." Which made Pentious very nervous.
Charlie ensures him, "We're about 80% sure she's harmless,"
John chuckles with amuse to see Pentious creeped out by Niffty's bit of insanity, which gave him the impression that Niffty really likes the cobra-demon for being so 'bad'.
That was when Alastor appeared. Charlie introduced Pentious to him "And here is… Alastor! Our gracious facility manager!" she then nervously said to the Radio Demon "You've met our newest guest, Sir Pentious… hehe…"
Pentious waved nervously, while Alastor said with his usual grin "Ah yes! You're the one who ruined my coat!" his eyes then glow red and said with a sinisterly tone "I definitely remember you now."
Clearly Alastor was still pissed at Pentious for daring to rip off a little piece of his favorite coat. Though it was hard to tell because of Alastor's usual big grin, everyone could clearly sense the Radio Demon wasn't happy at all.
Pentious gulps nervously.
Charlie, trying to deescalate the situation, thinking this could be the first step for Sir Pentious 'path to redemption', suggested, "Well, I guess this is a great time for your first lesson! 'How to apologize'." She said to Pentious "The first step to becoming a better person is to admit when you are wrong. Why don't you give it a try?" she gave Pentious a little push so he could 'apologize' to Alastor.
Still very nervous, Pentious said to Alastor, "Yes… uhm…" Alastor waited with anticipation what he was going to say, though the cobra demon's fear amused him "Mr uhm… Radio demon sir, please forgive me for attacking you and ruining your very lovely coat…" he took out the small fabric he tear from Alastor's coat earlier today and handed it over to him as a token of apology "Uhm… here."
Alastor takes it, being somewhat impressed with what Pentious managed to tear off from him "Oh-ho! Not many people have been able to take even this much off me." he smirks at Pentious "It must have meant quite a lot to you." Alastor then combusts the fabric tear into a small green fire, leaving Sir Pentious and Charlie stunned.
An hour later, with Sir Pentious now having officially moved into the hotel, Charlie had called for a group gathering with the whole Hazbin crew in order to introduce Sir Pentious to them.
While Keekee was resting above the stairs, looking down at everyone who were sitting on the floor of the lobby, Charlie told everyone who was sitting around her, "Now, with another new resident, I think it's important we all get to know each other. So, we're going to play a little game. Everyone, follow me," she instructed everyone and began to 'introduce herself' "My name is Charlie (claps twice) I like to sing (claps twice) And when we get to know each other it's the greatest thing (claps twice)"
Charlie turns to Pentious, letting him introduce himself the same way as Charlie did though he was a bit nervous "My name's Sir Pentious (claps twice) I like to build (claps twice) and despite my stupid Egg Bois, I think I'm very skilled! (claps twice)" he smiled.
Charlie and Pentious then look at John, sitting next to Liz.
John sighs before he shrugs and went along with it "Okay… here we go." He clears his throat before 'introducing himself' "My name is John (claps twice) I like to help around (claps twice) And despite my flaws I love to leave everyone dumbfound (claps twice)" he finishes with a small smile, while Liz looks at him with love "Okay, babe. Your turn," John told his girlfriend.
Liz did her part "My name is Lizzie (claps twice) I like to dance (claps twice) And my time here is great as me and John are in a romance (claps twice)"
Both John and Liz look at each other with nothing but love and rub their noses against each other.
Charlie though they were really cute that way, before they all looked at Angel as it was his turn.
But Angel, being on his phone the whole time without showing any interest, looks up from his phone, saying in an annoyed way, "This is stupid."
Charlie tried to keep the peace and did her thing again "This is not stupid (claps twice) it's just a game (claps twice) Pentious, John and Liz did it well so now please try to do the same (claps twice)"
Annoyed, Angel rubs between his eyes "I am too sober for this."
Vaggie then said, going along with her girlfriend's plan to introduce each other, "Well get used to it and learn how to play, this is gonna be your whole day (claps twice)"
Later that evening, after dinner, Charlie had set up a small theater play, with John playing a drugdealer wearing a dirty trench coat and a hat while Sir Pentious was acting as an innocent child wearing a sailor suit and licking a comically large lollipop.
The rest of the Hazbin crew were watching, with Charlie being the happiest.
John reads the script for a second before doing his act "Oh, I am a bad man on the streets who never got enough hugs," he said in a way like an actor would say like he was a tough private detective "Now, where's an innocent kid I can sell crack to?" he dropped his act for a moment and asked Charlie with a small smile rolling his eyes "Let me guess: you wrote this, right?"
Charlie heavily nodded "It's great, right? Go on!"
John nodded while mentally thinking, 'Guess my great performance and great grades in drama class back in high school are getting useful after all.' He then asks 'Innocent child-Pentious' "Hey you?"
Pentious, acting in a dramatic way being a very friendly little boy "Who, meeee?"
John got annoyed by that look 'Oh, for fuck's sake!' but kept his cool as he remained in his act, trying to form a sinister grin "Yeah, you look like a kid who could use some… 'devil's dandruff'." How Charlie called drugs sounded a bit ridiculous to John, but thought it was Charlie's way to keep her play in the 'child friendly zone'.
Pentious shook his head, staying excellent in his act "Not me. I have to go home and study."
John, using his act as a drugdealer good, chuckles with a bit of sinister and tells Pentious as he walks up to him and leans against him "Come on now, kid. It'll make you cool like me… the crackhead. Hahahaha."
But Pentious pushed John aside, not going into that and said his line, "The only cool thing here is to say, 'no to drugs'! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to not have sexual intercourse before marriage!"
Charlie stands up and claps, loving the performance "Yes! Oh bravo! Bravo!" she complimented Pentious "Wow, Pentious, at this rate, you'll be redeemed in no time."
Angel, feeling down after seeing how Pentious was doing so well in trying to redeem himself, said with a bit of depressed tone "I… I'm going to bed." And walks off, heading up the stairs.
Charlie then complimented John, "And John, your performance was amazing! I was really getting chills when you took your role as a drug dealer seriously."
John, taking off the hat, shrugs with a smile "Thanks, Charlie. It's why I was chosen several times to have the lead role in my many school plays."
But that was when his cellphone rang a reminder tone. John excused himself while Charlie told Pentious "I am so proud of you, Sir Pentious. That was amazing."
"Thank you. Thank you. You like me. You really like me!"
As Liz gave a smile to Pentious, seeing he was really trying to redeem himself, she then watches her boyfriend, seeing he was reading something on his phone.
When John reads the message, his face slowly dropped, making him depressed as he puts his phone down.
Liz was confused as why her boyfriend was so sad about all the sudden. She walks over to him and asks "Hey, what's wrong, honey?"
John, hiding his sadness, smiled at her, ensuring her as he shook his head, "Nothing, Liz."
Liz wasn't sure if he was telling the truth but formed a small smile back as she took his hand and went with him together up the stairs.
"Goodnight, everyone." Liz said.
"Goodnight, you two!" Charlie said back with a smile.
Meanwhile, in Angel's room…
As Angel enters his room, he saw his pig pet Fat Nuggets already asleep on his bed. He gave him a soft rub on his head, waking Fat Nuggets but was happy that his owner had returned.
However, Angel was still sad as he lie on his bed. He glumly looks at his phone, seeing he'd received hundreds of voicemail messages from Valentino today. Angel sighs as he begins to play all the messages one by one.
"Angel baby, come home. It's not the same without you here, I miss you. Come back-" the first one was Valentino being in a sad and happy voice.
But the second was a very angry Valentino "ANGEL, YOU BITCH! IF YOU DON'T COME HOME, YOU'LL BE FUCKING GREASY TRUCKERS FOR THE NEXT YEAR-"
Then a happy and sad voicemail was heard again "Hey, amorcito , I didn't mean to yell, bu you know how crazy you make me-"
Angel kept going through the messages who constantly switch back and forth between a friendly, apologetic tone and a barrage of screams, threatening violence.
"YOU FUCKING SLUT-"
"Hey, Angie! About earlier-"
"I'LL KILL YOUR WHOLE FUCKIN' FAMILY-"
"Work's really stressful."
"LITTLE COCKSUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!"
Angel had enough and puts his phone down "AAAAARGH!" Fat Nuggets got scared and jumps off the bed before rushing to hide in the corner.
Not meaning to scare his little pet, Angel rose from his bed and runs to him, hugging him "Oooh, I'm so sorry, Fat Nuggets. Pappa didn't meant to scare you… I'm sorry. Never again, okay?"
Fat Nuggets gave a small oink.
Carrying his little pig, Angel lay back in bed with him.
But then, from the phone, a red/pinkish smoke came which surrounded Angel as Valentino was contacting him in his head as he sinisterly chuckles 'You actually think you can change? Addict trash like you doesn't change.'Angel sighs sadly while the smoke clinging around his neck and chin like hands before fading away.
'I'll see you soon, baby.'Angel sighs while staring at the ceiling while softly stroking Fat Nuggets. Valentino's words hit hard on Angel's soul, as somehow… he felt that Valentino was right and that he can't change who he is. Even after some moments in his afterlife ever since he began working for Valentino, he tried to quit taking drugs or not playing much in porn vids, but was impossible as Valentino's constantly makes him to do what he wants with him, even taking drugs in order to keep him in line.
A tear fell from Angel's eye 'Fuck… God fucking dammit!'
He slowly fell asleep.
A few hours later in John's and Liz's room…
John and Liz, both lay naked in bed under the covers.
While Liz was sleeping peacefully, John however had a hard time to close his eyes as something was bothering in his mind ever since he saw that reminder on his phone.
Giving up on trying to sleep, John sighs while slowly going out of bed, putting on his boxershorts and his bathrobe before walking out of their hotel room.
Liz had noticed that John was leaving, making her confused and worried at the same time, wandering what was bothering his boyfriend so much.
Liz then saw John's phone buzzing on his nightstand. Though she thought it would be rude to invade his privacy, Liz crawled to John's side and took his phone, going against her better judgement to see what kind of 'message' he got.
What she saw, made her gasp, as the words on the reminder said: LUCY'S BIRTHDAY!
Liz looked up to where John had left, knowing now what was bothering him so much "Oh… John…"
Down at the lobby, nobody was there except for John, who was sitting on one of the couches in the lobby while looking at the small burning fireplace.
John sadly sighs while resting his head on his elbow.
Liz, now wearing a blue glitter nightgown, walked down the stairs, seeing John sitting in front of the fireplace, looking sad. She walked up to him, with him barely looking at her.
Liz sat next to him, softly holding his hand.
John then said, "I… couldn't sleep."
But knowing why he was so sad, Liz held his cheek, making him to look at him, "Baby… you don't need to keep things from me. Just tell me what's bothering you so much… Maybe I can help you?"
John looks down before looking back into Liz's eyes, saying with a heavy heart, "It… Today was…" he shook his head while he sadly sighed "Today was supposed to be my daughter's birthday…"
Liz softly rubbed his hand, wanting to be there for him "John…"
A sob came from him "She… Lucy was supposed to have turned 16 today… if she… if we just hadn't… died… then I…" a few tears fell from his eyes "I'm sorry, Liz…"
She rested her head on his shoulder "I know, baby… I know how much you miss her."
"9 years, Liz… I haven't seen her… in 9 years…" John says while giving a sad sigh "What if… she doesn't age and… she remains that little girl that…"
The painful memory of last seeing his daughter before being tossed out of Heaven and send to Hell was hurting John too much.
Angel then suddenly came into the lobby before being confused about John and Lizzie being here too. "Hey. What're you guys doin' down here? Thought you'd be fuckin' like crazy again."
John then asked him back, "What're you doing down here, Angel?"
"Yeah, asswipe. Shouldn't you be in your room jacking off to every kinda porn imaginable?" Liz added.
"Hey, easy, pole dancer, I'm just wanting a damn drink." Angel said with his top hands up before he got a bottle from the bar and began gulping it down as he walked back.
But saw something as he did, getting his attention. "Hey. Did you guys see that?"
Liz and John did. "Yeah. I think it was snake loser." Liz commented as she too saw who looked like Sir Pentious, entering Charlie's office.
"What the fuck is he doing up late?" John asked before he, Liz and even Angel went to the open door of Charlie's office and found Sir Pentious setting up a camera from VoxTek between books on a shelf, making him open the door in anger. "What the fuck are you doing?!"
Pentious was startled. "Ahhh! Hi, guys, what's up?" He asked nervously.
"Was that a fucking camera from VoxTek you just put on that shelf?!" Liz asked with a growl. "You aren't here for redemption, YOU'RE A GODDAMN SPY FOR THE FUCKING VEES!"
"You slippery little shit! You're working for the Vees?!" Angel asked as he advanced on the snake demon. "I fucking knew there was something shitty about you!"
But Pentious tried denying it. "I don't know what you're talking about… Whorebug!" He said while turning with an evil grin.
Angel growled in anger before he tackles Sir Pentious on the ground and punches in him the face! Pentious tried to get Angel off him as they wrestled, with John and Liz coming to Angel's aid, with John grabbing Pentious before he punched him a few times "I should've known that you were only pretending, you filthy snake!" and punched him so hard, sending Pentious flying backwards and hit a bookshelf, making several books fall of the ground.
Pentious then lunged at John, attempting to bite him, but he kicked him in the stomach before Liz grabbed him, showing fury in her eyes for him daring to bite her boyfriend "Oh no! YOU'RE NOT BITING MY BOYFRIEND, YOU SLIPPERY ASSHOLE!"
While both struggled, Pentious yelled "Get your aggressively average female body… OFF OF ME!" he used his hypnotic powers on her, causing Liz to be hypnotized momentarily!
"Fuck!" Liz yelled as she back away before she snaps out of it and grind her teeth at Pentious, who retreated.
But Angel and John both grabbed Pentious before he could escape.
Right then, Charlie and Vaggie, having both woken up after hearing the commotion downstairs, walked into the office with Charlie wearing her red pajamas and Vaggie a nightgown.
Charlie yawned as she asked with one sleepy eye open, "What's going on?" before she was surprised to see John and Angel held both Pentious' arms.
"This little bitch is a traitor!" Angel said.
John nodded "That's right! He's was send here by the Vees to spy on us!"
"Preposterous!" Pentious tried to deny it, clearly lying as he freed himself from them before turning to Charlie and Vaggie with a friendly smile "I would never betray you. You… are my best friend." And hugged them both.
Liz walked up to the bookshelf where Sir Pentious put the camera "Uh huh," and removes some of the books, showing the evidence to Charlie and Vaggie "then explain this!"
Charlie gasped ins hock while Vaggie frowns at Pentious.
The cobra-demon realizes that his cover is blown and scurries away "AH! AH! Abort! Abort! S.O.S.!" he tried to open the window to escape but it was locked "Agent Pentious in need of immediate evacutation!" he called into the watch, clearly being a communicator that Vox gave him.
Vox picked up the call, with his face showing on the watch's screen, first confused but then smirked "Pentious? Wait… you were caught?!" he then laughed his ass out "Bwahahahaha! It hasn't even been a day!"
Sir Pentious begged Vox, "Please! You've got to get me out of here!"
Vox shook his head in the screen, seeing what kind of a moron Pentious truly is "I can't believe we thought you could handle even something this simple!" having had enough of Sir Pentious' continuing failures and stupidity, Vox narrows his eyes at the cobra-demon, seeing he doesn't even deserve an inch of their respect "Do us a favor, if they don't kill you, go ahead and do it yourself! You MISERABLE FAILURE!"
Vox's words hit deep in Sir Pentious, seeing that they never would ever accept him as their equal and that he's too stupid to even do a small simple task, only to fail again… and again. Tears began to form in Sir Pentious eyes. He turns to them, and said sadly, accepting his fate, "I… I… just make it quick I guess…" he lay on the floor, allowing them to end his existence "…not that I deserve it."
"Gladly." Vaggie said as she took her spear, ready to end Sir Pentious' afterlife, with John taking a hammer and Liz a Viking axe, ready to end him too.
But before they could put Pentious out of his misery, Charlie stops them "Guys… wait!" she walks over to him, offering his hand "…Pentious?"
Sir Pentious looked while tears fell from his eyes, seeing to his surprise that Charlie offered him her hand while she smiled at him and began to sing.
It starts with sorry
Pentious blinked his teary eyes before Charlie helped him back up.
That's your foot in the door
One simple sorry
Charlie puts her hand on Pentious' chest, making him look surprised that Charlie offered him forgiveness.
Spoken straight from your core
the path to forgiveness, is a twisting trail of hearts.
But sorry is where it starts
With Charlie telling that the first real step to redemption is to apologize for your sins, Sir Pentious became sad, thinking he's beyond redemption.
Sir Pentious: Who could forgive a dirtbag like me?
I don't deserve your amnesty
Angel, John, Liz and Vaggie, still eager to put Pentious out of his misery for lying to them and attempted to betray them, walked up to him, with Angel drawing 2 machine guns.
Angel, John, Liz and Vaggie: Can't we just kill him
Shoot him and spill his blood?
Pentious crawled back to the wall, fearing for his afterlife.
Charlie singing, saying with a small nervous smile.
Charlie: That's an option you could choose.
Angel, John, Liz and Vaggie as they shrug: Works for us
Charlie then bypassed them, lowering Vaggie's spear.
Charlie: But who hasn't been in his shoes?
It starts with sorry
Sir Pentious: Sorry
The cobra-demon began to feel it in his heart how much sorry he was for his sins while Charlie smiled, seeing that Pentious was seeing the light.
Charlie: Deep down deeper and say one sincere sorry
Sir Pentious: I'm so sorry!
Pentious let himself fall in John's arms in a dramatic way, making John role his eyes.
Charlie: And your journey's underway.
Charlie and Sir Pentious: It'll take time to cover your/my vast multitude of sins
But sorry is where it begins
Images began to appear of all Sir Pentious' sins in Hell over the many years, which disappeared in fireworks while words of 'Sorry' appeared in them.
It starts with sorry
Pentious smiled, being so grateful that Charlie offered him forgiveness and gave him a second chance to do better.
However, his moment was disturbed as Niffty, wearing a cute nightgown appeared at the doorframe, having listened to the whole song, making her look angry to see that Sir Pentious is not a 'bad boy' anymore but was now a complete softy.
"I hated that song!" Niffty said with an angry disappointed voice, making him and Charlie look surprised "Why are you so lame?!" she kicks him on the tail, which hurt him and walks away with her arms crossed " Not a bad boy."
John gave a small amusing chuckle while he shook his head.
Charlie happily sighs as she holds Vaggie's hand "Good first day. Let's get some rest." She suggested and everyone left the room.
Along the way, John told Sir Pentious with a bit of serious tone, "Listen here, Pentious," making him look a bit surprised as John taps him on the chest "Against my better judgement, I'm also willing to give you a second chance. But no more betrayal or any of your steampunk evil shenanigans, understand? Cause I'm keeping my eye on you."
Sir Pentious was a bit nervous before he nodded "Yes, of course, John. I'll do my very best to earn back yours and everyone's trust. I promise!"
"Good." John said as he gave a simple nod but still looked at him with narrowing eyes. He then took Liz's hand and all walked back up the stairs.
From the shadows of the dark hallway, Alastor appeared with a malevolent smile before he materializes in the room, taking the watch communicator still left in on office's floor and contacted Vox.
"What?!" Vox demanded with anger, but his face quickly dropped when seeing it was Alastor who contacted him, sending fear in him.
"you have to try harder than that next time, ol' pal! Hahahahahahaha!" Alastor said with his usual grin before laughing at how Vox failed to play dirty on him, again.
Alastor crushes the watch while Vox screamed in rage "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHHH!"
Alastor chuckles with amusement before he materializes back into a shadow and vanished into the darkness.
Not long after, back in John and Liz's room…
Liz's sighs as she sits back on her and her boyfriend's king size bed "Hard to believe that that slithery snake wanted to spy on us," she frowned at the thought of Pentious' betraying them to the Vees. But then she shrugs. "But, yeah. Maybe… we should at least give him a second chance, even though I didn't liked it the slightest of him trying to hypnotize me or try to bite you with his-" she said to her boyfriend, but cut her words when seeing he was staring with sadness out the window, looking at the white dot in the sky being Heaven.
John gave a small sob as Liz walked up to him, holding softly his hand as she looked with him to the sky.
"I just wished that I could… tell her a happy birthday and… tell her how much I miss her." John said sadly.
Liz softly stroke his hand. She then got an idea as she remembered something from her past life on Earth and told John, "You know… maybe there's a way for you to contact her?"
John looked surprised at her "How?"
She formed a small smile and took both his hands, taking him back inside.
A few minutes later, Liz came back with a burning candle and puts it on a small desk near the window. She sat on her knees in front of the candle, followed by John.
"I… don't know if it'll work, but…" Liz stated, not sure if this will work, but if not, at least she hoped it would comfort John "… my mother taught me this when I was young, saying we can still contact the people we love on their birthdays when we light up a candle and pray to them."
John thought it was kind of what Liz wanted to do for her, but he sadly sighed, not seeing the point of it "Liz… I've already tried to 'pray' to Lucy so many times… but I never got anything back."
Liz held his hands and both looked into each other's eyes "John… You don't need an answer back. It's just… a way to at least tell your daughter something."
Though John was unsure, he felt that maybe at least he should give it a try.
He gave her a nod "Okay…"
Liz smiled as they both folded hands.
"I'll start first then… you can, okay?" Liz asked him, making John nod.
Both closed their eyes.
Liz began to pray softly, "To the realm beyond… John Randell and Elizabeth Simmons wish to contact the person named Lucy Randell who resides in heaven…" after a short moment, Liz began to say, "Hello Lucy… My name is Liz Simmons. You may not know me, but I am a very close friend to your father. He is here with me now, wanting to let you know that he's alright and wishing you a happy birthday."
As Liz stopped, she gave John a gentle tap while she still had her eyes closed, telling John he could pray to his daughter now.
John took a deep breath, with a sob escaping his mouth "Lucy? Lucy, can you hear me?" a tear fell from his eye "I… don't know if you can. But if you do, I want to tell you that I'm alright. I'm in this hotel in Hell called the Hazbin Hotel. Charlie Morningstar, the princess of Hell is owning this place in the hopes of helping other sinners and demons to be redeemed and are allowed to leave Hell to go to Heaven instead. I…" he again sadly sighed. "I don't know if it'll work, as it has never been tried before. But… Charlie has been such an kind woman, offering me an place in her hotel to live and work… and help me to redeem myself so I… I can join you up in Heaven. Charlie has… given me hope after so many years, Lucy. And Liz… she's the best thing that has happened to me ever since I fell here into Hell. You… you would love her, Lucy. I know you do." He sobbed as more tears fell from his eyes "Please… if you do hear my pray… know that I'm alright… that won't give up to get back to you… and tell you how much I love you, sweetheart…" he sobbed, finding hard to find the right words before he took a deep breath and formed a small smile "Happy birthday, sweetheart. Hang in there… Daddy is coming back to you. I promise…"
Slowly, he reopened his teary eyes, forming a small smile as he stared at the dot that's Heaven.
Liz wiped away a tear from her eye, as she thought it was so sweet of what John said, like she could feel how much his daughter means to him and loves her deeply.
She held John's hand, with him looking into her eyes. He planted a kiss on her lips before he said, "Thank you, Liz…"
Liz smiled back as they rose up, with their eyes still meeting. Not long after, both embraced into a passionate kiss.
A little while later, inside Charlie and Vaggie's room…
Charlie, laying in bed with Vaggie, groaned while rolling around a bit. She had a hard time to sleep.
Vaggie slowly opened one of her dreamy eyes, seeing Charlie was still awake "Huh…? Hon? You can't sleep?"
Charlie shook her head while looking the other way as she moved again "No… Because of that fight downstairs, it brought me out of a good sleep…" but ensured Vaggie with a nervous smile, not wanting to worry her "But, I'll be okay. Really. I just… need a bit of time to get myself back to rest."
Vaggie however felt bad for her girlfriend. But having something in mind that would surely help Charlie put back to sleep, she shoved closer to her, laying behind her while putting her arms around her.
Charlie blushed for a moment.
Vaggie planted a soft kiss on Charlie's cheek before whispering in her ear "I know what would put you in a very… very good sleep, hon…" and blew into her ear softly, which made Charlie shiver while blushing deep.
"Vaggie…" Charlie said with a bit of nervous before she felt both Vaggie's hands on her breasts, with her softly touching them. As how good it felt to feel Vaggie's hands on her breasts, Charlie gave a soft moan. "Mmmm… Ahhh… Oh, Vaggie… Ahhh…"
Vaggie planted a few more kisses on Charlie's cheeks before kissing her on her ear and then her neck while still massaging Charlie's breasts, twisting her nipples a bit.
"Ooooh, Vaggie… Oooh, Vaggie…" Charlie moaned.
After a few minutes, Vaggie slowly opened the buttons of Charlie's pajama shirt, feeling her naked breasts.
"Yes…! Mmmm… yes, Vaggie…" Charlie moaned a bit louder, feeling more turned on.
"Let me see you, baby…" Vaggie whispered in Charlie's ear before moving her over so she lay on her back. Vaggie climbed on top of her after taking away the cover, looking down at Charlie's half open pajama shirt.
Gently, Vaggie opened the other buttons and opened her shirt, exposing her breasts while Charlie blushed deep red.
"You just relax, honey, while I take care of you…" Vaggie said with a small sense of lust in her voice before she leaned in and began licking Charlie's nipples.
Charlie bite her bottom lip as she rolled her eyes with excitement "Hmmm… Vaggie…!"
Giving both her breasts and nipples equally pleasure by using her tongue, even nipping her nipples a bit, Vaggie then snaked her right hand into Charlie's pants, touching her pussy, feeling how wet she already is.
"Ooooh… fuuuck…!" Charlie moaned while rubbing Vaggie's head and stroke her hair "Yes, Vaggie…! Just like that…! Yes…! Oooh fuck, yes…!"
Vaggie kept pleasuring Charlie's breasts for a few minutes before she kissed her way down while taking off her pajama pants and stared at her partly shaved pussy, loving the sight of it as how wet it was. Vaggie leaned in and performed cunnilingus on Charlie, moving her tongue over her wet labia and clitoris.
"Yes…!" Charlie moaned before giving a loud one "Oh, YES! Oh, fuck, yes, Vaggie! Ahhh!"
"Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmmm." Vaggie moaned as Charlie's juices tasted so tasty, turning her on and fingered herself.
Charlie held Vaggie's head, pressing it against her pussy "Yes, Vaggie! Fuck me…! Fuck me deep with your tongue, baby! Aahhhh!"
Vaggie obeyed Charlie and pressed her tongue deeper inside her vagina, pleasuring it from deep inside while fingering herself even deeper and faster.
After a minute, Charlie stopped her and told Vaggie with a very horny voice as she raised her head, "Vaggie…! I want you…! I want you now…!"
Vaggie, wanting her desperately, climbed on top of her and pressed her wet pussy against hers as they're about to do their favorite position. As they rubbed their pussies together, doing pussy-to-pussy, both moaned loudly.
"AAAH! AHHH! AHH! OOH, VAGGIE! OOOOH, VAGGIE!" Charlie moaned out wild while going through her demon form as her horns grew out of her head, her eyes glowed red and her long devil's tail came out, which Charlie used to grab Vaggie by the waste and pressed her harder against her "AAAAAAAH!"
Vaggie was overwhelmed by this amount of pleasure "OOOOOOH FUUUUUCK, CHARLIE! YEEES! YES! YES! OOOH YEEEEES!"
A few minutes later of fast and nonstop pussy-to-pussy, both felt their climaxes coming.
"I'M GONNA CUM! OOH CHARLIE, I'M GONNA CUUUM!"
"ME TOO, VAGGIE! LET'S… LET'S FUCKING CUM TOGETHER!"
They increased the speed of rubbing their pussies together, ready to climax together. And after 10 seconds… both climaxed at the very same time, making them both squirt out their juices that went everywhere; on their bodies, the bed sheets and even bits of it inside each other's vagina's!
"AAAHH…! Aaahhh…! Ahhh… ahhh… Ahh…" Charlie moaned as the climax slowly died out, leaving a sweet smile on her face. "Ohh… Vaggie…"
Vaggie too was exhausted before the climax died out, making her sigh before looking down at Charlie who was exhausted after having sex and being in her demon-form too. She looked so sweet in Vaggie's eyes. She leaned in and both shared a passionate kiss.
Charlie felt so much better after that, feeling she was about to go to sleep "Thank you… my dear and sweet Vaggie…"
Vaggie planted a kiss on her cheek, saying softly, "Anything for you, my sweet princess of Hell…"
Charlie gave a moan as she closed her eyes while smiling "Night, night… Vaggie…" and fell deeply asleep.
Vaggie gave a small chuckle as she gave Charlie one more kiss and also went to sleep after putting the cover over them "Goodnight, Charlie…" and fell asleep in each other's arms.
A/N: And that's that for chapter number 4, ladies and gentlemen!
