The night before the extermination
Charlie gave her speech to cheer up everyone present during the night before the extermination, she asked them to celebrate and live that night like no other, although she was confident that they would win the battle, she wanted to make sure that if something went wrong tomorrow, their souls would leave hell with one last great night and with all their pending issues settled.
In the hotel lobby you could feel the joy of the pre-extermination celebration, the cannibals celebrating and drinking, Charlie and Vaggie shared a beautiful kiss accompanied by a song, Husk and Angel Dust, both with a silly smile as they enjoyed the bar and each other's company, Sir Pentious tried to confess his love to Cherry Bomb although he didn't have the courage to do so at that moment.
The radio demon watched the scene in the company of Nifty, enjoying the joy before the extermination. "You better go downstairs and enjoy the night Nifty." Alastor said asking Nifty to go downstairs to celebrate.
"Okay." Nifty said with her signature sadistic laugh as she walked down to the lobby to celebrate with the others, while the radio demon turned around and walked up the hotel stairs, no one noticed Alastor's absence except for Lucifer who decided to go up to look for him.
Alastor stood on top of the hotel looking out at the hellish landscape, thinking about what was to come, exterminations have always been brutal events for hell, but this time, he knew it could be even worse, he knew the power of heaven firsthand, after all he was present when THAT happened to the queen of hell.
"Thinking about what happened last time?" Alastor was brought out of his thoughts by Lucifer's voice, the king of hell approached Alastor.
Alastor didn't say a single word, Lucifer knew that it was a subject that Alastor avoided talking about, the king of hell never knew what happened that day, the day that THAT happened to his wife, although at first the king of hell blamed Alastor for what happened, it didn't take him long to understand that the real culprits were the exorcist angels.
The radio demon felt upset, weak and cowardly for what happened with Lilith, the feeling of not having the power to save the people he cared about was something that froze the radio demon.
"You can't blame yourself for the rest of your existence." Lucifer said as he looked away. "Believe me, it won't solve anything, I know from experience."
Alastor remained silent, thinking about his words, his eyes closed and his smile never disappeared. "What happens if we fail tomorrow?" The radio demon questioned.
Lucifer wasn't sure what to answer, he thought carefully about his words, but was interrupted by Emily who went up to look for them when she noticed the absence of the two. "If we fail tomorrow, we will have to get up to fight another day, we can't give up, not when heaven threatens to condemn each and every soul from hell, not when they threaten to destroy our home." Emily said seriously trying to motivate the radio demon for tomorrow's fight.
Alastor gave the fallen angel a small smile, finally deciding to leave his doubts for later, anyway there was no turning back, extermination was a reality and the radio demon couldn't fall in surrender to the sins of his past, he couldn't turn back when a possible heavenly war could occur at any moment.
"She's right, whatever happens tomorrow, we can't give up." Lucifer said with a smile on his face, although he thought for a moment before speaking again. "I only ask you that if something happens to me tomorrow, promise me that you will take care of Charlie." Alastor looked at the king of hell for a moment, he didn't know how to respond to Lucifer's request so he just nodded as the three of them returned inside the hotel.
Hours before the extermination
The celebration had ended a few hours ago, the army of cannibals and the residents of the hotel were preparing for the fight that was to come, having Lucifer present all this time had been a great help, his magic made many things easier, not to mention that he was the most experienced when it came to fighting angels.
But the Hazbin hotel wasn't the only one preparing for the extermination, the news of Lucifer breaking relations with heaven shook the entire hell, the 7 rings of hell were attentive to the situation, the overlords remained sheltered as usual, although this time they may be willing to fight in case things get out of control.
Of course, some did not hesitate to take advantage of the situation, as was the case of Vox, who made sure to send a news team that was live during the entire fight that would take place.
"Make sure you record all the fucking angles of that fight." Vox shouted to his employees as they prepared the news van.
"And I want you to make sure that all of fucking hell notices how you kick Alastor's fucking ass, is that clear?" Vox shouted with noticeable anger, the distortion in his voice was more evident than ever.
"Crystal clear boss." Katie Killjoy said as she quickly climbed into the news van in the company of her co-host, Tom Trench.
On the other hand, Rosie, Carmilla Carmine and Zestial took refuge in the cannibal town during the battle, although the three agree to interfere if they consider it necessary, but prefer to stay away when it comes about the extermination.
"I just hope they know what they're doing and don't condemn us all." Carmilla said as she took a sip of her cup of tea.
"Relax, dear, Alastor is with them and I'm sure they know exactly what they're doing." Rosie said as she poured a cup of tea for Zestial.
"Alastor's presence is exactly what worries me and I really doubt they know what they're doing, they're rebelling against heaven, nothing good can come out of this." Carmilla said as she handed a cup of tea to her daughters.
"We can only hope they don't condemn all of hell for the princess's attempt at rebellion." Zestial said, expressing his concern.
Meanwhile, the hallways of the Hazbin Hotel were filled with the sound of alarm clocks, the time agreed upon by the princess of hell had arrived, it was time to get up and prepare for the great battle.
The cannibals began to get up and prepare for today's battle, the noise began to flood the entire hotel, razzle and dazzle were quick to go down to the hotel kitchen and prepare a feast for everyone, Charlie wanted everyone to be more than prepared for today.
"Damn alarm clock." Husk said as he woke up, unlike most people his alarm clock was quite far from his bed, so he took one of his cards and threw it in the direction of his clock, the card easily destroyed husk's alarm clock.
"Too easy." Husk said with a small smile as he got out of his bed and grabbed a bottle of cheap booze that he had on his nightstand.
Meanwhile in Sir Pentious' room, the snake didn't bother setting an alarm as his egg boiz always make sure he wakes up on time.
"Boss, it's time to get up." One of the eggs said as he pulled at the sinner's pajamas, meanwhile the rest of the eggs were preparing Sir Pentious' general outfit.
"You know what to do." Sir Pentious said as he got up from his bed, the eggs didn't take long to act and in less than a couple of minutes the eggs changed his boss's pajamas to his general's suit.
"General Sir Pentious is ready to defend this fucking hotel." The snake said as he walked out of his room with the eggs behind him saluting like soldiers and an attempt at a military march clumsily executed.
Meanwhile in Angel Dust's room, Cherry Bomb stayed in the porn star's room, both of them staying up all night talking and laughing, losing track of time in the process.
"Okay bitch, it's time to sleep, we have an important battle in a few hours." Angel Dust said as she stretched and settled down to sleep next to her best friend.
"Whatever you say, you little faggot." Cherry Bomb said as she also got ready to sleep.
Angel Dust and Cherry Bomb closed their eyes, they had finally decided to go to sleep to get some rest, but not even a minute passed when the alarm clock rang.
"Fuck." It was the only thing they said before getting out of bed and getting ready.
Although the pair of friends were not the only ones who didn't sleep during the night, a few rooms up, was the princess of hell with her beloved girlfriend.
"It's time, sweetheart." Vaggie said, she was curled up with Charlie on a couch they had in their room next to the window, the fallen angel had his wings around his girlfriend's body as he hugged her.
"Vaggie, I just want you to know that no matter what happens, I will always love you." The princess of hell said, she didn't want to be separated from her girlfriend, the fear of losing her was present in Charlie.
"Charlie, honey, calm down, everything will be fine, everyone is more than ready to defend the hotel, plus we have your father here, I'm sure we can handle whatever heaven has in store for us." Vaggie said as she took Charlie's hand to give him a tender kiss on his lips.
The princess of hell relaxed a little at her girlfriend's words, after all, it was true, she had an army of cannibals, her friends were ready to defend this place, even Alastor was determined to defend the hotel, not to mention that he had his father here, everything would be fine.
Charlie smiled tenderly at Vaggie's kiss, her fear gone, at least for now, she stood up with her characteristic spirit and began to prepare.
Finally, at the top of the Hazbin hotel, in Alastor's radio tower, the radio demon was with Lucifer and Emily, the three of them were admiring the hellish landscape.
"Here's to defeating Adam and his exorcists." Emily said as she toasted with a glass of whiskey, although the fallen seraph had never drank alcohol in heaven, in her short stay in hell she found her taste for whiskey.
"Cheers." Alastor and Lucifer said at the same time to respond to the toast while the three of them took their glasses.
The three of them had decided to spend the rest of the night together, none of them understood why they agreed to spend time together, but that didn't matter, now they were in Alastor's tower enjoying the minutes before the extermination.
An old wall clock began to chime as the hour had arrived, Alastor was the first to get up from his seat and approached the transmission equipment of his tower, he took his cane and with his typical smile he approached Emily.
"Would you do me the honor, my dear?" Alastor said as he handed his cane to Emily.
The fallen angel simply nodded his head as he carefully took the cane.
"Dearly beloved! For your entertainment. It's my pleasure to introduce to you, the equal-opportunity killer, Alastor" Little Emily introduced the radio demon, marking the start of Alastor's live broadcast.
Alastor took his cane to continue the broadcast, while Lucifer and Emily began to go down to the hotel lobby. "Attention to all sinners and hellborn tuning in this morning, the day of extermination has arrived and I, Alastor, the radio demon, am delighted to share with you the news that right here, at the Hazbin Hotel, the first resistance against heaven will take place." Said the radio demon with the charisma that characterized him as he watched from his tower as the Vox news team arrived and did not miss the opportunity to use his powers to destroy some cameras and microphones.
Alastor's voice was transmitted throughout hell, after all he had almost total control of the infernal radio, of course not everyone was happy with this.
"FUUUCKK." Vox shouted as soon as he heard Alastor's voice being transmitted.
"I told you, killing him is his fetish." Valentino said with a mocking smile while Velvette just laughed and recorded Vox's reaction with her cell phone.
Meanwhile in heaven, Sera ordered Adam to prepare all the exorcists, although there were still a few hours before the extermination would begin, Sera wanted them all to be ready as soon as possible, the first man had no choice but to obey the seraph's order.
"Ready, all the exorcists are gathered and ready for whatever you plan to do." Adam said as he flew to be in front of Sera.
"Okay, it's time to start." Sera said keeping a calm and carefree voice.
"Start? What the hell are you going to do?" Adam asked with some annoyance in his voice, he hated that Sera was getting involved in the extermination business.
"Lucifer and his wayward daughter think they can change the rules, so we must change the game. I want you to start the extermination, now." The seraph said with annoyance in her voice as she clenched her fist to hit the desk in front of her.
"Now? Right now?" Adam questioned excitedly, Sera just frowned as she nodded. "Fuck yeah, come on Lute, we have work to do." The first man said as he spread his wings to fly out of the place, not realizing that Lute was left behind.
Sera and Lute watched as Adam walked away, finally, the seraph spoke. "You know what to do, take care of Lucifer and don't fail or else HE will take care of you personally." Sera said giving the exorcist angel a warning.
"Whatever you say." Lute said indifferently as she spread her wings to start flying and reach Adam.
The pair of angels flew at high speed, not wasting a single second, the enthusiasm was noticeable in the first man, while Lute kept his concentration on the objective assigned to her.
It didn't take long when Adam and Lute finally landed in front of the army of exorcist angels, the first man waited for his army to be ready to receive orders.
"As you all know, Lucifer's damn daughter thinks she can change the rules and stop the extermination." The first man said while the army booed at the mention of Lucifer and his daughter. "That's why, this year we're going to do things differently, I don't want that you have mercy on anyone and to make sure of that, we'll start earlier, to take them by surprise." Adam said enthusiastically while all the angels spread their wings preparing to fly and go down to hell.
"Ladies, let's fuck shit up! ATTAAAAAAAACK!". Adam gave the order as his army of exorcists began to descend into hell.
Meanwhile in hell, the princess's army continued to prepare and check for any last-minute inconvenience, Charlie was going over the plan to make sure everything went well, she was in the middle of explaining when a blinding light flooded the infernal sky.
The portal that linked heaven and hell opened, the exorcist angels began to fly towards the Hazbin Hotel, they were determined to kill all the sinners they could and end the new attempt at rebellion in hell.
"Shit, they got ahead of us." Charlie said distressed as she saw the portal open, the cannibals and residents of the hotel quickened their pace, all took their weapons and prepared for the imminent battle. "We'll have to improvise a little." Said the princess of hell as she took the shield of heavenly steel that she would use to protect herself during the fight.
"Who would have thought, the cowardly angels decided to advance the extermination." Alastor said as he acted quickly and climbed to the top of the hotel to activate the shield that will keep the hotel safe.
Even though the angels took the army of sinners by surprise, that didn't stop the princess's army from starting to kill the first angels, not to mention that Lucifer's presence made things much easier, but we can't take away the merit of the cannibals and the rest of the hotel's residents.
Sir Pentious's egg boiz fled all over the battlefield, trying to support the fight but they weren't trained to fight angels, it wasn't until a little egg known as Frank tripped while fleeing the battle and when he got up and looked at the sky he came up with an idea, he immediately told one of his companions the idea and asked him to spread the idea.
Before anyone knew it, the eggs returned to the hotel and quickly began to board their boss's airship, although normally it was Sir Pentious who controlled it, this time it was Frank who took command.
Sir Pentious's airship began to move taking everyone by surprise. "Who's driving that thing?" Husk shouted as he fought some angels alongside the porn star.
Sir Pentious was surprised, he was the only one who knew how to use his airship, he squinted to try to see who was in control, he was very surprised to see who it was. "They're my eggs, they're driving my airship, I'm so proud of them." The snake said with teary eyes from the pride he felt when he saw that his eggs were giving it their all.
"This is no time to be sentimental Pentious." Cherry Bomb said so that the snake would stay focused while she threw her bombs at the angels.
Meanwhile outside the shield were Adam and Lute observing the situation, they had to get away a little or else Alastor could have hurt them with the angelic weapons he was using with his tentacles.
"You have to do something or we are screwed." Lute said as he watched the angelic massacre taking place on the perimeter of the hotel.
"I'm fucking over this!" Adam said as he concentrated his power in his fist before hitting Alastor's shield and destroying it.
Lucifer realized that Adam managed to break through Alastor's shield, but there were still too many angels around the hotel, so Lucifer had to let Alastor fight Adam.
Adam approached the top of the hotel expecting to meet Lucifer or even Charlie, he didn't expect the radio demon. "Adam, first man, next to die." Alastor said mockingly.
"Who the hell are you?" The angel questioned the sinner as he prepared for the fight.
"Alastor." The radio demon said bowing. "Pleasure to be meeting you, quite a pleasure. I'm about to END YOUR FUCKING LIFE." Alastor hit the ground with his cane.
"Nice voice." Adam said while making quotation marks with his hands. "Don't you know that radio is for pussies!?" Adam said while making his guitar appear and launched into the attack while Alastor used his tentacles to attack.
"No no no." Alastor mocked while Adam hit him with his guitar but the radio demon only laughed as he faded into the shadows, he was a simple clone, the real Alastor appeared behind Adam and hit him with his tentacles making him fly away.
Alastor's soul was free, he had almost all his power available to be used and he wasn't afraid to show it while fighting Adam.
"You really think you can take me on? A mortal soul is no match for me." Adam said as he tried to push his way through Alastor's attacks.
Alastor laughed as he took the opportunity to conjure hundreds of small demons made of shadows to attack Adam. "I am as mortal as you are my dear." The radio demon mocked, the first man was having some trouble getting rid of Alastor. "After all, you know perfectly well what a soul can achieve when it is the master of its own destiny, I am free but you, you are chained to heaven." Alastor said as he launched himself to attack Adam using his staff as a weapon.
"You think you're tough shit, huh?." Adam said as he tried to escape the situation Alastor had put him in, but he was surrounded by tentacles, shadows, and Alastor himself.
"Tougher than you! Hahaha!" Alastor said as he dodged Adam's attacks and backed away. "You lack discipline, control, and worst? YOU'RE SLOPPY." Alastor's horns began to grow as he was surrounded by a shadow, a pair of wings made of shadows formed on Alastor's back.
The radio demon threw Adam using his tentacles, then quickly used the newly formed wings to reach him and hit him, causing him to return to the hotel roof. "Damn son of a bitch." Adam said angrily as he recovered from the impact.
"I'll wipe that smile off your stupid face. Because the radio is fucking dead." Adam said as he threw himself with all his strength to hit Alastor.
"I would love to stay and chat but there are still too many angels to exterminate." The radio demon mocked before dodging Adam's attack, the first man didn't realize that in front of him was Lucifer, who stopped Adam's blow without problems.
Although Alastor had regained his power after Lucifer released him, he wasn't ready to use it all yet and they couldn't afford to be too confident, as much as he wanted to finish off Adam it was better that Lucifer take care of it.
"Fuck, kick Alastor's ass." Vox shouted angrily at the television screen when he saw that the radio demon managed to face Adam and get away without a scratch while Velvette and Valentino looked at him uncomfortable with the situation.
The extermination didn't last much longer, Lucifer had already taken care of quite a few angels before he went up to fight Adam and the few that remained wouldn't be a problem for the others. It didn't take more than a few minutes for Adam to fall at a hellish speed and hit the ground, forming a crater outside the hotel.
Lucifer approached the crater where Adam was, the king of hell would let him live for now, he only had one thing to say. "Take your little friends and GO HOME! Please." Lucifer said as Adam stood up after the blow he received, the first man thought about complaining, saying something, but decided not to risk his life, his mask was destroyed, he was hurt, his army massacred, there was no chance.
"All surviving exorcists, it's time to get out of here." Adam announced as he raised his hand to open the portal that linked both realms, the exorcists opened their wings and began to fly back home.
Adam and Lute were the last to start flying back home, they were halfway to reach the portal, while on the ground the sinners began to celebrate, entering the hotel.
Alastor was the last to enter, he was halfway in while Lucifer stayed in the crater watching the exorcists leave, when the king of hell thought it was all over he turned around to enter the hotel.
Alastor felt that something was not right, he did not know what it was but his instinct kept him alert, he turned around and watched the king of hell walking to enter the hotel with the others.
The demon of the radio had finally reached the entrance, that was when he turned around again and realized, Lute was going down at full speed. "BE CAREFUL!" Alastor shouted to the king of hell, but Lucifer was distracted and could not react in time.
Hearing the scandal Charlie and the others immediately went out to witness the scene, Lute was descending at full speed with a strange sword in hand, Alastor tried to use his magic, as did Charlie, while Vaggie and Emily opened their wings in an attempt to fly and stop Lute.
Lucifer turned around but it was too late, all of hell came to a standstill, everyone was witnessing the scene through the VoxTek news broadcast. Everyone present did their best to avoid what was about to happen, but it was inevitable.
Alastor witnessed it almost in front of him, he saw how Lute pierced Lucifer's chest with an angelic steel sword that had a strange green glow around the blade. Alastor had already witnessed something like this, he knew there wouldn't be much to do.
Lute pulled the sword out of Lucifer's chest and smiled as it returned to the air. "You're fucking crazy, you damned us all." Adam shouted, scolding his lieutenant.
Lucifer's body collapsed, everyone present immediately ran trying to do something, while the rest of the angels escaped.
Lucifer could barely understand what had happened, he could feel how hard it was for him to breathe, he could feel a great tiredness, he put a hand on his chest and felt a strange liquid, it was his own blood, although he tried to use it to heal himself, but it didn't work, he tried one more time and nothing, he realized he was screwed.
"DAD! Please, don't go, stay here with me." The princess of hell screamed desperately while hugging her father, Lucifer blinked and for a moment he saw Charlie as when she was little, which made him smile.
"My little apple." Lucifer said with quite an effort as he began to cough blood, the king of hell hugged his daughter as he felt tears pouring out, he made an effort to wipe them away but it wasn't easy.
"Dad, don't go, I don't want to lose you, not now." Charlie said while crying. "There must be something we can do." Charlie was desperate.
"I'm sorry dear, but no, there's no way to cure this." Lucifer said with difficulty. "If it's worth anything, you were the best daughter I could have."
"Dad, please don't say that." Charlie said as she laid her father down on the ground before breaking into tears.
Vaggie and Emily hugged Charlie trying to comfort her, but it was in vain, everyone present was starting to shed some tears, except for the radio demon.
"I hope you two take care of Charlie." Lucifer said referring to Vaggie and Lucifer. "And you, I hope you keep your promise." The king of hell said referring to Alastor, the sinner simply nodded, for the first time, everyone looked at Alastor with a face other than a smile.
Lucifer knew he didn't have too much time left, so he caressed Charlie's cheek. "I always loved you Charlie, I wish I had done things better, I wish I had spent more time with you, I regret many things, but you, you are the one thing I don't regret even a little bit." Lucifer said with his last breath as he slowly closed his eyes.
The body of the king of hell began to glow with a yellow light, once his body was completely covered, little by little the light was distributed into small spheres of light that began to separate and float on separate paths.
The small spheres spread throughout hell, drawing everyone's attention, this light was the very essence of Lucifer that was dispersing throughout hell, soon an apple tree formed in the crater where Adam had fallen a while ago.
Alastor knelt in front of the tree to show his respect for the king of hell, soon one by one the rest of the overlords made an appearance, all kneeling around the tree showing respect for the sovereign of hell.
Katie Killjoy is usually an insensitive bitch, but even she was shedding some tears, finally saying on camera what almost everyone already knew. "Our king, Lucifer Morningstar, has died." The news was official, everyone already knew it, all the inhabitants of the seven circles of hell knew that Lucifer Morningstar was dead...
