The Envy Ring, a maritime-like place ruled by the Sin of Envy, Leviathan. Among the worst places in the infernal realm, its natives fight each other and are jealous of those who have success.

The TARDIS materialised in one of the cities of the Envy Ring. The Doctor emerged from it, still disguised as a Hellhound.

"A beach in Hell." He thought. "Didn't expect it. Looks like a nice place." He closed the door of the TARDIS and went for the exploration.

He remained amazed by the landscape, especially the royal purple sky, it felt like watching an Aurora Borealis.

But as for the natives, well...They weren't as pleasant as the sky. Most of them seem to be rich people or nobles and looked at the Doctor with disdain.

"I suppose Hellhounds aren't that high in this hierarchy." the Doctor thought, "Now, if I were a terrorist organisation that wants to destroy the monarchy, where would I hide?"

The Doctor stopped moving, as he spotted someone using a sniper, and pointed at a girl coming out from a mall.

That girl was a Demon with grey skin and green eyes with greyish sclera, she had long white hair with black spots underneath, like some sort of tentacles. She was wearing a hot pink coat with a bright green collar made of fur, cuffs, and buttons along with a pencil skirt with matching bright green fur trim, and long, black high-heels with fishnet stockings.

The Doctor ran and pushed the girl away.

"Hey!" She shouted, furious. "What the fuck do you think are doing-"

The bullet didn't hit her by a hair.

The Doctor took the girl by her hand and dragged her away so they wouldn't be spotted.

"Unhand me, you mutt!" She complained.

The Doctor let her go. "Are you okay? Those snipers didn't like you, it seems. I'm the Doctor, by the way, what's your name?"

The girl scoffed. "Of course, a pet doesn't know me! I am Hellsa von Eldritch, the Princess of Envy!" Hellsa introduced herself. "And who are you?"

"I told you, I'm the Doctor." said the Doctor.

"As if a Hellhound can become a doctor!" said Hellsa.

"Hellsa! Hellsa!" A male voice shouted.

A young Demon with grey skin and red eyes, dark green hair and a green-striped suit arrived in the alley.

"There you are!" He said, "What, you wanted to get freaky with a Hellhound?"

"Oh, fuck off, Seviathan!" said Hellsa, punching his arm. "You were supposed to take care of our security, and a fucking Hellhound has to save me, of all people!"

"Wait, what?" said Seviathan.

"A sniper attempted to murder Hellsa, I saw it and I brought her to a safer place. The older brother, I presume?" said the Doctor.

"Yeah, Seviathan von Eldritch." Seviathan hand shook the Doctor, "Thanks for saving my sister."

"He's kinder than the little sister." the Doctor thought.

"Don't handshake the Hellhound! He'll give you Hellbies!" said Hellsa.

The Doctor raised an eyebrow. "Why does she hate Hellhounds so much? She's treating me like a dog."

"I know, but he did save you. He's useful," said Seviathan.

"Was that supposed to be a compliment?" the Doctor thought, annoyed.

"Hmm...You might be right," said Hellsa, as she looked at the Doctor's outfit. "And he's got a decent sense of fashion. I feel generous, let's take him home."

"Great, I got adopted." the Doctor sighed, "But at least, with their status, I might get the chance to know more about those terrorists."

The trio arrived at the von Eldritch mansion, a large, dark green Victorian-esque house, with a lake surrounding it. The Doctor was amazed by it, despite the deadly animals living in the lake.

They entered the house. A tall man with pupilless green eyes, short white hair and a short moustache, wearing a dark green suit went downstairs.

"Ah, Hellsa, Seviathan, didn't hear you coming bac-" The man, presumably the patriarch of the Von Eldritch, spoke. He noticed the Doctor and sighed. "How many times do I have to tell you not to bring strays?"

"Another pompous aristocrat, didn't know I went back to Gallifrey." the Doctor, "My goodness, is this what Loona passes every day of her life?"

"He's...Not exactly a stray, father," said Seviathan. "He could be useful to us, Hellhounds are excellent bodyguards, he saved Hellsa from getting murdered."

"Is that true, Hellsa?" Mr. Von Eldritch asked.

"...Yes, father," said Hellsa.

"What is your name, hound?"

"I am the Doctor." the Doctor introduced himself, annoyed at being treated like a puppy. "And you are...?"

"I am Frederick Von Eldritch, their father." Frederick introduced himself. "You will take care of my daughter, for the time being, that will be all."

Hellsa grinned, and she looked at the Doctor. "Come on, pup, let's have some fun."

"If she tries something sketchy, I'll bust a Venusian Aikido move on her." the Doctor thought, following her. "So, what's the plan, boss?"

"Oh, the usual, just having a walk in the city showing how my life is much better than anybody else but first!" Hellsa dragged the Doctor and took a selfie. "Not bad, this will do better on Envee than that Shittingstar and her lame hotel."

The Doctor turned around. "Are you talking about Charlie Morningstar and the Hazbin Hotel?"

"Well, duh!" said Hellsa, "What, been there before?"

"Got curious, I am from that Ring, after all. It was dusty and ruined." said the Doctor, striking Hellsa's ego.

It worked, as Hellsa burst out laughing. "I know, right?! The fucker repelled thousands of Exorcists and she couldn't use the even to boost her popularity properly! You know, I like you: You have some humour."

"Thanks...?" said the Doctor.

So, the day continued, as Hellsa did shopping while the Doctor was forced to drag all her purses.

At that moment, the Doctor wished that a Dalek appeared and exterminated him.

But, much to his joy, something happened. An explosion occurred.

"Oh, finally!" the Doctor grinned.

"What is it now?" Hellsa rolled her eyes.

"I wonder about that too, let's go take a look, shall we?" the Doctor rushed to the source of the explosion, followed by an annoyed Hellsa.

He heard voices shouting.

"THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN HE'S NOT HERE?!" One of them spoke.

"I MEAN THAT THE FUCKER IS NOT HERE!"

"WE TOOK A MALL HOSTAGE AND THAT DOCTOR IS NOT EVEN HERE?!"

"Wonderful, they were looking for me." the Doctor thought. "I need to distract them. First, I have to take Hellsa to a safer place. Hellsa?" He turned behind, but no one was there. "Hellsa? Hellsa? Where the hell is she?!"

"LET. ME. GO!" Hellsa yelled.

"Calm down, little princess, we won't harm you." One of the kidnappers spoke. "I'm sure your daddy will pay a good sum to have you back safe and sound."

"Not before I can deal with you bastards!" Hellsa's hair began moving, They grabbed one of the kidnappers and threw them away.

"Shi-"

Another criminal tried to use his gun, Hellsa kicked him away but unfortunately, she was overwhelmed by the demons.

The Doctor observed the scene from a distance. Normally, he would have immediately intervened, but he didn't.

"If I let Hellsa get kidnapped, I could find out their hideout." the Doctor thought.

And so he did. As the criminals dragged Hellsa in a truck, the Doctor rushed to the TARDIS and began the chase.

"I could test my new angelic abilities on them, they're Demons, after all. However, I don't think they're as invulnerable as the Sinners, for that Hellhound it took some poison to end his life." the Doctor thought as he managed the TARDIS console.

The TARDIS materialised in a black room.

The Doctor emerged from the box and scanned the area with his sonic screwdriver, like business as usual.

"Hellsa should be here." the Doctor thought. "Of course, she has to be in a sketchy dark building."

He closed the door of the TARDIS and went to the stealth exploration. He immediately hid behind a column as he saw two Imps walking through the corridor.

"So, they managed to kidnap the Princess of Envy?!" One of them asked.

"Yeah, bitch can't even defend herself without a bodyguard." said the other Imp.

The Imp laughed, "Master will be happy to hear it!"

"Master? That Master?" the Doctor thought. "That would explain why the Hellhound wanted to kill me at Beelzebub's party."

The Doctor threw a coin he had in his pocket away to distract the two Imps.

"What was that?" One of them asked.

"Dunno, let's take a look."

The instant the Imps got distracted, the Doctor at inhuman (or rather, unimpish) speed knocked out the two Imps.

The Doctor was shocked. "I didn't kill them, did I?" He checked their pulses. "Phew, I thought I killed them for a moment."

After immobilising them with the Imps' clothes, the Doctor ran away. The more he went deep into the building, the more it seemed it was endless.

"I have to find Hellsa before things go south." He thought. "I need a map or something where I can have a better view of the place..." He looked at his head, noticing a vent. "Like an air vent!"

The Doctor revealed his Seraph form and flew to the vent.

As he wandered through the vents, he saw several prison cells until he found Hellsa's.

It seemed two Hellhounds were interrogating the Princess, tied to a chair while holding batons.

"Great, more mutts..." Hellsa commented.

"Relax, Princess, we just wanna talk." One of the Hellhounds spoke calmly. He then took from his pocket thirteen photos, depicting every incarnation the Doctor had until now, including his current one under Hellhound disguise. "Does any of these men seem familiar to you?"

"Of course not, why should I know a Human?" Hellsa scoffed.

"Not even this Hellhound over here?" The other Hound pointed at the last photo.

"...Yes, I did." said Hellsa, "But why do you care? What's so special about my bodyguard?"

"That 'Hellhound' happens to have attracted the attention of our boss. Considering you're his 'employer', I'm sure you know where he is." The "polite" Hellhound explain.

"No, I don't," said Hellsa. "The fucker disappeared the moment you kidnapped me."

"This bitch is lying, Jack!" The "rude" Hellhound commented. "Give me 5 minutes and I'll make her talk." He drooled, much to the Princess' disgust.

"Your...Forceful methods won't be necessary." said the polite Hellhound. "...Unless she talks, of course."

The Doctor, from what he learned about Hellsa, would still be rude while saying that she really doesn't know where he is. But instead...

"Fuck off! I wouldn't tell you even if I knew where he was!"

Before they could react, the Hellhounds got hit by some white energy, making them fall from the ground. The Doctor descended into the room.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Hellsa looked at him for a couple of minutes, completely baffled. "You...You're a..."

"Yes, yes, I'm an Angel, I know. Let's get you out of here before they find us." the Doctor untied the Princess of Envy and helped her climb into the vent.

Two Imp guards entered the cell and saw the Hounds on the ground and Hellsa nowhere in sight.

One of them checked the pulse of a Hound: Nothing.

"The bitch escaped! Go give the alarm!" The Imp ordered.

The alarm was loud, echoing through the halls.

"So, what's the plan now, Mr. Angel secret agent?" Hellsa asked, snarkly.

"Wear this." the Doctor handed her a necklace with a glowing key. "It's a Perception Filter. As long as you don't attract to much attention to yourself, nobody will see you."

The two put on the Perception Filters and they left the vents. They saw two guards looking for the fugitives.

They went into Hellsa and the Doctor's direction...But they didn't notice them.

"See? We're completely invisible to them!" said the Doctor.

"Good, let's get out of here." said Hellsa.

"Not yet." said the Doctor. "I have to see something."

"Why didn't you see it before coming to save me?! Do you wanna get captured?!" Hellsa complained.

"Saving you first had the priority, I am your bodyguard, after all." said the Doctor.

Hellsa sighed. "Fine, but you better be quick!"

"I will be. Follow me!"

The two wandered through the hallways, undetected by any guards. The Doctor opened the door, revealing a large dusty library.

"You want to risk us getting captured...For some fucking books?!" said Hellsa.

"Definitely. We're in a library belonging to a group of really sketchy people, it might have interesting information." the Doctor explained. "Especially about the that "Death to the Morningstar" group..."

The Doctor began looking for several books as Hellsa guarded the entrance.

"Have you finished over there?!" Hellsa whispered.

"Almost!" said the Doctor. "These books are incredibly dusty...Huh?"

The Time Lord noticed an odd book on a shelf: It had a black cover and slightly ruined pages. It was titled in Latin, too.
"Radix Omnium Malorum...Latin for Root of All Evil. This might be interesting."

The Doctor took the book and began scanning every single page at fast speed with the sonic screwdriver.

"What on Hell are you doing?!" Hellsa asked.

"Making photocopies." the Doctor explained. "If I take the book with us, they might find out we were here."

"Be quick!" Hellsa ordered.

"Yeah, that's the plan." the Doctor responded with sarcasm. "Aaaaand...Done! Let's get out of here!"

The Doctor and Hellsa went to the exit but...They were surrounded by Hellhound guards.

"Stay where you are!" One of the guards growled.

"Sorry, must dash!" the Doctor threw to the ground a ball of light, temporarily blinding the guards. He took Hellsa by her hand and ran away.

"Those bastards escaped!" One of the guards said.

"The book! They didn't take it, did they?" Another guard asked.

"You check it, I'm gonna report to the boss."

Meanwhile, the Doctor and Hellsa were hiding in the alley where the TARDIS was parked.

"Better if you go home, it's safer." said the Doctor. "Well, I'll be going now, tell your father that you fired me or somethin-"

Hellsa took the Doctor's hand, blocking him from moving.

"You...Need something, Hellsa?" He asked.

Hellsa took a deep sigh. "T...Th..." She struggled to talk, "Th...Tha..."

The Doctor smirked, realising what she was trying to say. "Come on, you can say it."

"Than...Thank you." Hellsa finally said it, clearly embarrassed. "For saving me."

The Doctor softly chuckled. "Well, would you look at that, the Princess of Envy can show gratitude. Well, you're welco-"

Hells grabbed the Time Lord's arm and dragged him closer. She took a selfie of the two with her phone.

"Hey!" The Doctor complained.

"Relax, I'm not gonna post it. An Angel in Hell could cause a ruckus, especially for Sinners." Hellsa grinned. "See ya, Doctor!" She left.

The Doctor smiled as he went to the TARDIS and the box dematerialised.

Meanwhile, in Pentagram City, the masses were (as usual) brainwashed by Voxtek's trash TV programmes.

Suddenly, all the TVs went static. Then, two spheres, a red fire one and a heavenly white one both rotating over a grey background.

An elegant, posh voice began talking calmly.

"This is HBC Television."
