During the reconstruction of the Hotel, Angel found something interesting in what remained of the Doctor's room.

It was an odd-looking golden disk, with the words "Activate me when the battle has ended".

"Huh...Guys?" said Angel, "I think I found somethin'."

"That being?" Vaggie asked.

Angel showed it to the others. "I found it in Doc's room."

""Activate me when the battle has ended"" Charlie read the note, "Hmm, let's activate it!"

The Hazbin crew reunited into one of the finished zones of the new Hotel, the main hall. Angel pressed the button on the disk and it began flying. An hologram appeared, showing the interior of the TARDIS, with the Doctor sitting on a chair.

"It's the Doctor!" said Vaggie.

"Alright, here we go..." said the Doctor in the video. "Hello, those who have survived the Extermination! If you're watching this video message, it means that I too have fallen in battle, so I suppose this my "final will", or something."

Charlie began to slightly tear up, immediately consoled by Lucifer.

"Buuuuut! I'm not here to get sentimental! I'm here to motivate all of you! Especially you, Charlie." said the Doctor.

"...Me?" said Charlie.

"Yes, you!" said the Doctor, as if he could hear her. "I know your morale is probably underground and you think everything is over, but that's where you're wrong! It's far from being all over for you! You still have a lot of work to do, many souls to redeem! I'm sure you can convince them that Redemption is possible!"

Charlie softly smiled.

"Besides, I don't think it'll be last time I meet all of you, no matter if I'm dead or not. Angel can tell you all, not even death can stop me!"

Angel snorted. "Yeah, Doc is crazy enough to return from the dead."

"Well, I think I don't have much to say now. I hope you can all manage to redeem yourself. And Cherri, take care of Anthony for me in the meantime, okay?" said the Doctor.

Cherri grinned, "Damn right I will!"

"Hope I'll see you soon. Don't worry, if I respawn in Heaven, I'll probably last 5 minutes before I go to Hell." said the Doctor.

As the group laughed, the hologram turned off.

"Well, you heard the boss." said Angel.

"Yeah, let's get to work." said Charlie. She looked at the sky, "Wherever you are, we'll make you proud, both you and Sir Pentious, Doctor!"

Meanwhile, days earlier in Heaven. Three figures entered a white room, where a Seraph was lying on a bed, unconscious.
