Chapter 43:

In the eye of the storm

Breaking out in a cold sweat, Charlie and everyone at the hotel gazed up at the emerging demon form of the deep-sea demon as Tempest had begun to tower over the hazbin hotel, her voice booming "I AM DONE HOLDING BACK!" the sheer volume of her bellow causing the ground to tremble.

By now, Emily had managed to catch up with her wounded sister as she tried hoisting Sera's arm over her shoulder, the high seraphim coughing up an alarming amount of blood "WE HAVE TO GET YOU OUT OF HERE, THE HOTEL IS SAFE BECAUSE OF OUR WARDS"

They were barely able to get the words out when a giant, scaled tail rammed itself into the ground, leaving a thick crater, and as Tempest lifted the appendage, there, now unconscious, laid Emily, her sister next to her.

"EMILY!" Lute yelled as she angrily glared back at the now gargantuan overlord, her form resembling a sea serpent more then it does a person as she yelled "THAT'S MY FUCKING GIRLFRIEND, YOU FISH BITCH!" as her anger got the better of her and she shot forward, sword in hand "NOBODY HURTS "MY" EMILY!" But before she could even do anything, a giant hand had backhanded her into a nearby wall as the sea serpent began ravaging the grounds.

Whole slews of sinners, angels and hellborn demons thrown unconscious with a single swipe of Tempest's tail as one by one, all the overlords fell to the enraged sea serpent.

Carmine was unceremoniously tossed against the hotel and knocked out.

Zestial didn't stand a chance when Tempest slammed down one of her 4 fists down on the ground at full force.

Rosie caught a whole face full of angelically infused ice when she tried to go in for a bite and she too was rendered unable to continue.

Ink, desperately trying to hold it together, was quickly tangled within her own webs and slingshotted against the hotel, hard enough to crack concrete as the sheer pain of the impact was too much and the creepy spider demoness was rendered unconscious.

Alastor bravely tried to hold his own with his tentacles, but he'd quickly be grabbed by 4 large, feathered, talon like hands as one by one, the deep-sea demon would painfully pull them out, causing the radio demon to scream in pain before unceremoniously dropping him to the ground from a great height, putting him out of commission.

Even Ashley and Velvette tried tag-teaming the sea serpent overlord, wielding their angelic axe and sword, but were quickly dealt with with a singular blow.

Missy Zilla would be next as she too received the beating of her afterlife, tossing her to the side as if it were nothing as last, the overlord of the deep sea aimed her ire at the Vee's.

Vallentino had spread his wings, pushed off the ground and tried to make a run for it, but Tempest had quickly wrapped her tail around his ankle and slammed him down into the ground, leaving a giant crater in its place as Vox looked on in horror at his business partner's defeat, before he too would be met with the rampaging sea beast.

"You deserve this…..ALL OF YOU!"

Looking behind them in horror, it was just Charlie, Vaggie, Lute and Adam left now as they slowly turned back around, gazing upon the monolithic form of Tempest, which was blotting out pride's equivalent of the sun as she threateningly leaned over them, the violent sloshing and swirling of the giant water vortex that surrounded the hotel clearly audible in the background as the deep-sea demon bellowed "Any last words….."princess"?" as the 2 giant snake heads that emerged from her back were angrily hissing and spitting at the 4 of them, the 4 red eyes of Tempest's full demon form almost burning into their souls.

It was then that the booming sound of Tempest's voice was interrupted by a familiar voice, which rang through the air "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE LAY A FINGER ON MY FUCKING DAUGHTER!"

And as Charlie looked upon the vastly approaching shape in the sky, she beamed a big, tearful smile as she excitedly yelped out

"DAD!"
