Hazbin Hotel: Hellish Misfits
Chapter 15: Lawyers are Evil
It was morning now after how everyone had enjoyed their new game system for the past 2 days, and they woke up groggy. Charlie especially as she discovered the Disney movies and loved almost all of them.
James looked at Charlie and smiled. "Been up all night watching Disney, Charlie?" James asked.
"I can't help it," Charlie said grinning despite her grogginess, "All of those movies are so beautiful, especially Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Tarzan."
"Me personally, I like the Tron series," Clint half smirked, as he poured some coffee for himself.
"Lunchbox digs the Black Hole," Dan pointed out, to which Bruce nodded, though he shrugged, "Though it was kinda misleading for me. Thought it was the first porno Disney ever did."
"I'm partial to that thrilling film in New Orleans myself," Alastor commented, though his smile seemed forced at some scenes.
"I have to admit, I actually missed human shows from when I was alive," Vaggie said while she entered and grabbed a cup of coffee.
James blinked at that, as he nodded, trying his best to help her out, but ended up shouting most of it, "YES! When you were... HUMAN!" He looked to her, almost twitching, "Right? What was your favorite? Show I mean."
"Well... there was that one about those two brothers." Vaggie answered after thinking, hearing about it from some new arrivals who thought Hell would be more torture than what is was, "The one whose family name like that gun?"
Everyone, minus a nervous James, blinked at that, as Lydia asked, "Are you talking about Top Gun? That was a film."
"No not that one... umm the family name was 'Winchester'?" Vaggie said after remembering.
James almost panicked, but then calmed down, as he asked, "Wait. You like Supernatural?"
"That's the one," Vaggie said while she snapped her fingers.
"It was my favorite pass time from..." Vaggie stopped as she didn't want to bring up her past that everyone heard before thanks to James.
"but I couldn't see the rest of it after I died, and my eye was taken from me." Vaggie reminded, pointing at the eye-patch.
Lydia looked at James, a sinking feeling that James is up to something.
James then looked to Vaggie, as he gently got behind her, "Um, Vaggie. Can I talk to you alone? In private? Mostly alone?"
That got most of them suspicious before the two left.
James frowned, as he stated, annoyed, "Do you mind? She's gonna blow my ears off with another judgmental comment on how I should leave, but not leave! You really wanna be around for something that annoying?"
Clint shrugged, "yeah, you guys go and fight. Leave the kids outta this."
They all started to leave the room to let them argue.
Vaggie then looked to him and asked, "Okay, what is going on with you?"
He then looked to her worried, and said, "Vaggie. I don't know if I can do this."
"Do what?" Vaggie asked brow raised.
"Lying to Charlie," James looked to her in a panic.
"What are you saying?" Vaggie asked, not getting what he's saying.
"The whole keeping the secret of me killing 4 Exorcists and you being an Angel from Charlie," James whispered to her.
"No! We can't! It would destroy her." Vaggie said, as he expression was as conflicted.
"Keeping these secrets would destroy her too," James pointed out.
"What are you talking about," Vaggie asked, not understanding this.
James sighed, as he calmly explained, "I may have tried to lie to Lydia when we were kids that my dad was this big shot famous hero. My mom scolded me on this, but calmly said, 'James, if you live a lie, you'll never know how a person truly feels about you'. And I was living a lie when I lied to Lydia. Until finally, I got the courage and told the truth to her."
Vaggie looked down, "I'm sorry that happened but you don't understand, Charlie would be devasted if she found out you killed angels or worse that I'm an angel too..."
Vaggie looked up and said, "THIS is the only way to keep her safe."
"By lying to her," James asked, not believing what he was hearing from her.
Vaggie looked at him with a expression that show he was in pain, "I hate I have to lie about myself to her but it's the only way. Please James Please trust me on this. Out of all of us here, I know Charlie best. Telling her WILL break her."
James knew that there was no alternative on this. He sighed, as he nodded, "I'll do my best not to tell her."
Vaggie sighed in relief, placing a hand to his shoulder, "Thanks."
"Hey, guys," Charlie spoke up, as she popped up behind them, "What's up?"
Though the moment they turned around, James punched his face, as he went through the pain, "Morning, Charlie," he said with a bruised cheek, smiling, "I'm okay."
"James just said some that pissed me off, so I punched him," Vaggie lied.
"But he punched himself," Charlie stated, but then asked him, "You okay?"
"I have a high pain threshold," James smiled.
Charlie didn't look convinced as she said, "Let's get that treated to make sure."
And lead him away, unaware of how jealous Vaggie was right now. When they arrived, Charlie began to treat his wounds.
Charlie accidentally applied too much of a cream which made James wince.
"Ow," James groaned.
Charlie looked concerned, "I'm sorry... I'm... not entirely sure what I'm doing..."
"It's fine. Just you helping is enough," James said, as he smiled, "You generally love to help. Even when it's somewhat out of character for the daughter of the Devil." in which he shrugged, "I guess you can't judge a book by the cover, right?"
"And I thought you figured that out when we first met, mister." Charlie teased.
He smiled at that remark, but then got serious, as he knew this might ruin things. But if she hated him, he would at least be honest, and sighed, "Charlie?"
Charlie looks at him with her innocent but cheerful smile, "Yes?"
He bit his lip, as he sighed, and James looked to her, and started, "Say... I wasn't as innocent as I said I was. I was squeaky clean in life. But it was only in Death I did something so unforgiveable. Would... you still care about me, if I felt bad about it but still felt it needed to be done?"
"What are you talking about? You mean like attacked someone," Charlie asked confused, though became concerned.
Before James could speak, they heard Husk say, "So about what you said last night. You seriously thought that you can get out of your deal by overdosing yourself?"
The two stopped, as they turned to look over to the situation, with Husk and Lydia, speaking with Angel, as he shrugged, "Meh, now that you say it. Yeah, it does sound pretty stupid and wouldn't work at all."
"Unfortunately, when you make a deal down here it's permanent, especially for your soul," Husk informed Angel, "Believe me I'd do anything to get out of my deal myself."
Charlie became concerned while wondering if he can help.
"Isn't there any way to get the contract null and void," Lydia asked.
" not unless you have a royal or a really, really, good lawyer kid" husk answered.
Hearing that Charlie felt herself sweating before she looked away uncomfortable...
"That or the owner of the souls sets you free and good luck with that," Angel mentions before taking a swig of his drink.
Though no one noticed it, James did, as he saw Charlie sweating up a storm in worry, looking uncomfortable about this idea. "Um... Charlie," James asked, in concern, "You okay?"
Vaggie came over while she asked, "Charlie? Is something wrong?"
Charlie looked at the two and asked, "What?! pffft No of course not..."
James glanced at Vaggie concerned, over and asked, "Charlie, do you... know someone who can help Angel?"
Charlie winces as she said, "There may be someone but... I really don't wanna talk to him..."
"Old boyfriend," Lydia asked.
"Fuck no..." Charlie said shivering at the thought.
James asked, but then blinked, as he asked, "Wait. Is there some kind of Dealmaker of Dealmakers here in Hell? Like maybe the Patriarch of Lawyers?"
"Sort of..." Charlie said hugging her arms feeling even more uncomfortable...
"Then who is he, Charlie," Vaggie asked.
James blinked, as did Lydia, as the two looked to her, as he asked, "Wait. You don't know who this guy is, Vaggie? You knew about Alastor, and you haven't been here that long."
"That's because Charlie told me about Alastor, and he's been a great amount of talk..."
Apparently their conversation got the attention of Angel who approached and pleaded, "Charlie, if ya can find someone who can help me get out of my deal with Val, I'm begging ya. Please help me."
Charlie, really wanted not to but seeing Angel Dust's face before he sighed and agreed, "Okay..."
She then pulled out her cellphone to call, one that was IDed as "FruitLoop."
They arrive at a large law firm like building, a castle-like building, of German design where demons were standing guard around as well as stone statues which seem strange.
Charlie sighed looking at the building and muttered, "This is it…"
Charlie, James, Lydia, Angel, & Husk were seen getting out of her limo and standing before as a pair of brutish demons then approached and asked, with a growl, "Name?"
"Charlie... Morningstar... I have a meeting with your employer..." Charlie said nervously before the guards allowed her entrance.
She and her group would arrive at the office waiting room as they sat, waiting, even as the secretary, a Succubus would call and said, in a Brooklyn accent, "Mr. M, your 2:45 is here." She then turned to the group, "Mr. M is occupied at the moment, please wait here until he's available."
As the minutes went by, Charlie became more and more on edge, which everyone noticed.
James noticed the unease Charlie was going through, and leaned in, whispering, "What's wrong?"
"Maybe this was a mistake..." Charlie said, now was a huge warning sign to everyone who knew her. Charlie never admitted of making mistakes before...
James arched an eyebrow, as he asked, "What makes you say that?"
"He's the reason why humans know about how to make deals with demons..." Charlie revealed, "Ever since he was summoned to a village in Germany centuries ago..."
"Germany," James parroted, feeling this sounded familiar for some odd reason.
Lyida also asked, "Is there something we should know about where we're going or who we're going to see?"
"Let's just say that he's the most successful Lawter of all of hell," Charlie began before pausing the added, "...who doesn't like my dad..."
"Really," James asked, as he looked around, "Why's that?"
"...and likes my mom... a lot..." Charlie added with more uncomfortable tone in her voice.
Lydia and James both went wide eyed, as they guessed it, "Oh."
Soon the large doors opened and a large demon came out looking menacingly where James ask, "Is that Mr. M?"
"No," Charlie said
Before another more fearsome demon came out and Lydia asked, "Is that him?"
"Stop talking, stop guessing please." Charlie pleaded, as the two monstrous demons move to the side before a more regular - human shaped, demon came out wearing a very high quality suit came walking out speaking on a hellphone which was being held by demon-like bird, "No that's not what I said, either you fulfill your end of the deal, or our contract is void and you're back to the state I found you end."
"...Thank you, Senator." He then closed the phone and looked up, he was a fit humanoid male with a red head, six feet tall his hair slicked back, colored black. He almost looked like an imp, though his horns were curled back with no white lines on them.
Charlie automatically stood up as the demon approached, "Charlotte, welcome to my establishment." The demon greeted pleasantly. Not caring to use her preferred nickname.
Charlie still on guard forced a smile, "Hello, Mr. M..."
The demon smiled, "Please no need to be formal, after all your father and I have been close for centuries." He then leads her into his office telling his secretary, "Hold my calls, dear." Before he said to Charlie, "Call me Mephist."
James blinked, as he asked, "Wait. Mephist? As in Mephisto? More commonly known as Mephistopheles? One of the Chief Demons of Hell?"
Everyone froze when James said the second name, the guards, the secretary, even Charlie looked at James in fear as Mephist spoke, "Pardon me, young man..." He then had an expression that was the definition of fury, and asked, "What did you say?"
"You're the demon from the story. Faust," James realized, and went wide eyed, "Ooooooh." He then cringed, "I thought it seemed odd that you were famous for a deal in Germany."
Mephistopheles would chuckle, "Funny how a neophyte like you would know that, considering how you can't address my name properly..." He then took a step closer and stated, "Because of how you are with Charlotte you have a free pass on the mistake, but kindly not refer to me in that moniker. After all I am not some villain from a comic book. I am a businessman. Now please come inside with the princess."
He insisted entering his office.
Though as he entered first, he stopped Charlie and the others in their tracks. He was white as a sheet, as he whispered, "You never said it was the Demon whom Faust made a deal with!"
Charlie whimpered, "You can understand why I didn't want you two to come with... or anyone..."
Charlie then went into his office where Mr. M then sat behind his impressive desk while a man dressed in several centuries ago outfit, as the demon stated, "Thank you, Faust." Faust bowed his head, accepting the praise before Mr. M then asked, "Anything for you? Firefly?"
Charlie shook his head, "Not for me, thank you though."
James blinked, as he looked to the man, "Wait, Faust? I thought the stories said the deal between you and um... Mr. M was broken?"
Mr. M chuckled, "My dear boy, you should know that humans always alter the story to make it more favorable for themselves." He then waved Faust away, who bowed and walked away as the Demon Lawyer would take a sip, "Now then, Charlotte, how came can I be of assistance for you?"
"I need your help. With getting a Demon out of a contract with an Overlord," Charlie explained, as she introduced Angel, "Namely, this fellow."
"Ah yes, Mr. Angel Dust," Mr. M said as he had waved a hand and a sheet of paper appeared, "The one whom the 'overlord' Valentino made once he learned how to."
He then replaced it with a file and looked at it, "I must say you've been completing your end of your bargain quite well."
Angel shrugged, as he glared to the left, away, "No thanks to that psychotic freak, Valentino."
"Yes, I've been getting reports on how many of those in his contracts have been terminated due to something on his end or have become husks at the end." Mr. M stated before slamming the file shut and said coldly, "It's bad for business..."
"Then... you can help us get Angel out of his," Lydia asked, looking hopefully to the Mr. M.
He made no effort to show that he heard her as he said to Charlie, "I cannot simply brake it, however I can make an exchange for something else..."
James arched an eye at this, as Charlie asked, "Like what?"
He then slithered his way and whispered, making it sound like a hissing to the others in the room, "Tell me where your lovely mother has been for the past seven years. I have been very concerned about her absence."
James stood up, as he said, "Dude, you need to find someone else."
Hissing could be heard as snakes appeared and latched themselves around James forcing him back to his chair with two wrapped around his mouth to keep him from talking, "Remember, human, that you are here because your sort of soul is like a diamond to demons, as well as how you're with Charlotte. So, resist on making me angry if you wish for my aid."
Charlie stood between them, as she said, defending James, "I don't know where Mom is!" She calmed a bit, as she explained, "It's been seven years and all that time, she never answered my calls or returned them. I have no idea where she is."
"Come now, Firefly. When we last spoke she stated how you are her greatest treasure." he said, and asked, "You mean to tell me that she truly would not want to keep contact with you?
Charlie had a hurtful expression on her face, but then James bit one of the snakes on his face hard enough to make them shriek in pain, and let him talk. "She's telling the truth," James defended her, getting both their attention, "I honestly don't know what her mom's doing, but it sounds like she up and abandoned this kingdom. And her family. From the sound of it all."
Mr. M sighed, becoming more annoyed with this sinner getting in on a conversation that was very important to himself.
But then James said, "Look we might not be able to know where the Queen of Hell is, but please. Can't you find it in your heart, or whatever Hellborn Demons have, and look to see if you do this freebie for Charlie... it might get Lilith's attention enough to see you?"
"Hmm... I see... might do me good, you say," Mephist asked, annoyed, then slamming his hands on his desk, which shook the group as he got up, and began to sing in a rap manner with the appropriate music playing in the background.
I'm Mephistopheles, M_Pheles The Demonic lawyer sung, with a swagger, making his arms in an M shape.
People call me rich cause I got So-$ouls He sung sliding his hand over the other wone imagining it to be money or contracts.
He then sung, I got more cheddar than some super-sized nachos
Got cash flow like Robert has De Niro's
He then jumped onto his desk, kicking a picture off of it, and some foot dance, making James blink in surprise , I use more greens than Vincent Van Gogh
I make the baker bake my bread out of dough
He then got off his desk turning to the princess, waving his arms as he made his way to a wall,
No, no, don't eat it though it'll make you ill
There ain't no flour in a hundred bill.. of $oul
A group of Succubi came out of the wall that opened like a door next to him dressed like showgirls and sung as his backup, (He's ) OH YEAH!
(Everybody hear this) the backup singers sung strutting with the Demonic Lawyer walking in between them, HERE WE GO NOW! (Just how great it is to be him)
The Succubi then went to a table and posed sexy on it as he sat there, with a, Oooh It's great to be me, YEAH! (He's the greatest)
The succubi sung, where he spun his fingers in a reverse manner and urged, HEY, sing it again! (He's the greatest)
They repeated as sung in joy, Ooh it never gets old.
As they returned to the wall passage, they came out of, (Princess you're a waste of time Oh, can't you see?)
then went sliding back to his desk before smoothly getting into his chair with a spin, Little Princess, it's time to give up your dream!
He then went back to his seat and said to the stunned group, with a serious expression, "The Answer is no."
Charlie then politely said, "Um, well... you could have just said that instead of going through the song."
"I'm sorry my dear, but my decision is final," He said turning his chair around, before he stopped and suggested, "Perhaps, we can have an alternative."
He then waved a hand and Valentino appeared looking around in shock.
"Val," Angel asked, paling in fright, while James was struggling to break free.
Of which, Mr. M, was noticing the boy's frantic need to be free.
Valentino looked around, "What the fuck!? Who the hell pulled me!?"
M. Pheles would hold up a hand, "Now, now, do not worry." He then approached Valentino and asked, "You won't cause trouble here, correct?"
Valentino froze and shook his head, "Uhh… N-No I- I won't... not to you... Mr. M..."
M Pheles smiled lightly patting his cheek, "Good boy."
Everyone was wide eye in shock, as they thought, 'He managed to freak even Valentino out. '
Charlie wasn't surprised even as M Pheles said, looking at James "I understand that the boy uses the Scythe of Death." He then glanced at Valentino and stated, "As you're no doubt aware, many would want that power and weapon to be in their corner."
Valentino blinked, "Wait, WHAT?!" He looked to James, who was still tied up to the chair, as he said, "This little twinky nobody has that power?!" He then lunged at him, "GIVE ME THAT BOY!"
Valentino was stuck in mid-air as snakes wrapped themselves up around Valentino and strapped him to his chair too while M Pheles said, "I thought you said you wouldn't cause me trouble." He then began to glow as his body slowly shifted, 'You gave your word."
"And I hate... when people break their words..." M Pheles snapped, the snakes becoming more and more coiling around the moth-demon.
"You can't just throw out the fact that this guy has that kind of power, and doesn't have a contract," Val wheezed out, as he stated, "I had to hit the iron while it's still hot."
"The iron was cold, even before since no one is safe from the scythe." M Pheles stated, "But I believe a trade could be possible." He said making a contract appear, "One soul, for another."
Valentino smirked, "You mean... a soul from me, and I keep the boy?"
"Quiet," He snapped at Valentino, making him wince.
The others looked in shock, as Husk said, "Oh you gotta be fuckin' kidding me!"
"The whole idea was for us to get Angel out of his contract," Lydia said. "Not condemn someone else."
"These are my terms; your friend signs a contract with me and the porn-star will go free." M Pheles stated, giving his ultimatum, then decided to sweeten the pot, "Why I will even ensure your girlfriend will go to heaven."
James thought on it, as he looked to Angel and the others. He then looked to Mr. M, and asked, "How do I know you'll keep your word? You'll just twist it to your favor."
"I told you, I honor the contract." He stated gestured to Faust who stood unaffected by the events, "But if you don't believe me, ask Faust, because I granted his wish, and he has all the wisdom of the world. and now he returns the favor by serving me for all eternity."
"Some deal," James mumbled. But then sighed, as he didn't look Charlie or the others in the eye, and held his hand out for a handshake.
M Pheles chuckled, offering a quill, "You have to sign it boy."
Charlie, however, was horrified watching. She then quickly went over and shouted, "No!" Getting between M. Pheles and James, "I'm not going to sit here and let you try and force someone into your sick contract games!"
"Why is this even up on debate? We came here to help Angel, remember," James said, feeling like he was already going to sign it.
"Not at the expense of your freedom," Charlie said grabbing him by the arm and storming away.
"So is that a no," Mr. M asked.
"Wait, hold on," Angel stood up, as he said, "Don't I get a say in this? Everyone's deciding on what I should do, but nobody asked me if I was willin' ta sell James out for my sake."
Charlie calming down, realized her hastiness and said, "I'm sorry Angel. You do have a say in this."
"Actually princess, he doesn-ack!" Valentino stated before the snakes clamped around his mouth tighter gagging him.
"Good, cause dis is stupid," Angel shot out, as he looked miffed at this, "I ain't sellin' somebody out to get me outta this deal."
"HA! SEE," Valentino shot out at them all, and pointed out at Angel, "YOU'RE MINE, YOU SLUT!"
"Actually... that's not entirely true," M. Pheles spoke up, as he explained, resummoning the contract of Angel Dust, "The contract between you two stipulates that you can do whatever you want with him in the studio, but not outside. Meaning those threatening phone calls or voice mails don't count. Meaning it is a breach of contract, to which if it is further induced, will act as a breach of contract. And will further render it null and void." He then said becoming colder in his voice as the snakes became restless, "Ergo, if you want him to still work, let him go to the job when it's started. If you continue with this, you will find yourself... in a very actionable position. With me."
"And I do not mean in a way you like," M. Pheles said making a staff the length of a cane appear as it had the cobra at the head of the staff with a venomous green apple in the mouth of the apple.
James looked to Charlie, and asked, "Should we go now?"
"Yes, Charlotte. I believe it is time for you to go," M. Pheles stated to the princess as he said, "But remember should you change your mind, little firefly, my door is always open."
Charlie hurried out with her friends as M. Pheles looked at Valentino, who was now sweating bullets by the millisecond, and the Demonic Lawyer said, "Now then, let's talk about how you've been abusing the terms of your contracts."
"You-you can't do this!, Angel sold his soul to me, he along with the rest of the souls I own are mine to do with as I see fit, he is my property and you can't take him from me, HE IS MINE!" Valentino says before shouting in a fit of rage and protest, "MINE!"
The door closed, just as the others walked away.
Though James sighed, as he said, "Well, at least you don't have to worry about Val phone harassing you to come to work."
"Yeah, but it still means I gotta go to my job," Angel shrugged.
They then heard a scream coming from the office as everyone who worked gulped. And it wasn't Val screaming in pleasure, it was one of agony…
Faust teleported to them and said with a German accent, "Forgive de meister, he is dealing with the dummkopf who has been abusing the contract." He then turned to the employees and issued, "back to work, everybody."
And immediately they did so.
Later On
Vee Tower
Velvette's Bed
Vergil was looking rather chill, as he sat on the bed, nude again, with his left leg curled to him to hide his junk, while a nude Velvette, hair down, was on cloud nine from the last 'stress session' she was suffering from. Though at this time, Vergil spoke up, as he sighed, "You know, Velvette... I don't really mind these sessions. But does it have to be four times a day now? I'm still on a deadline for Vox's Angel Defense program shit."
Velvette just chuckles before turning over to look at him with a sultry grin and her eyes narrow "Oh, what's the matter, babe? Can't handle all this anymore?"
"Oh no, I upgrade myself to handle it more. I just assumed Vox wanted that deadline," Vergil shrugged, but then smirked, "Still though..." he looked to Velvette, "Weren't you the one who wasn't getting enough time." He then asked, "So why the extra fun time?"
"I'm kinda taking a liking to you." Velvette said to her fellow Vee while she blushed a little.
He then suddenly pounced at her, pinning her down, with her arms above her head, as he straddled her waist, with his, and smirked, "Oooh really? Miss Let's not get Emotional? Hmmm?"
After recovering from the sudden shock Velvette grinned at Vergil liking where this was going, "Ooh aren't you full of surprises, I love this side of you Verg."
He smirked, as he said, "What can I say, I'm full of surprises."
"Ooooohhh, mama likey" Velvette replied before wrapping her slender legs around his waist.
"I also notice that you like group sex, what, want to have a harem of girls you want to place with?" Vergil said.
"Now that would be a bit too much on your little you, wouldn't it," Velvette teased, as she thought on it, "Then again, Thorn does that thing with her tongue that gets me in the right spots..."
"Hmmm and how about Dusk, when she does that thing using her tail and big butt," Vergil mentions.
"I seem to recall you love that butt sitting on your face," Velvette smirked, as she was getting tingly again.
"That didn't stop you from making out with her, while riding my lower half," Vergil smirked, and the two leaned in closely to kiss...
BING BING
Vergil's right eye lit up, as he blinked, in surprise, and then sighed, looking annoyed, "Ugh. Vox is calling..."
Velvette growled that Vox ruined her fun. Vergil got up, and off the bed, as he began to dress, "Seriously. If this a Valentino related situation, I will seriously think about leaving this tower."
"Actually, it involves something that special thing you wanted to happen ." Vox answered from his end.
Vergil blinked, "Wait, what? I'm sorry can you repeat that please, I didn't hear you." Vergil said cleaning his ear.
"That thing. The thing you're obsessed about," Vox clarified, just as Velvette finished getting dressed, with the snap of her finger. "About the princess's new boytoy ." Vox added, "You may want to come here if you want to know more..."
Vergil smirks " I'll be there in an hour."
"Take your time, Val isn't going anywhere…" Vox said, cryptically, ending the call.
Velvette then asked, fully dressed while her hair was in twin tails, "So what's going on then?"
They arrive at Vox's station and found Val in a sorry state and looked like snake bites as Vox said, "Guess who got punished by M. Pheles."
"I'm gonna guess your boytoy Valentino here." She said typing on her phone in her right hand with her left one on her hip before taking a selfie of herself that included the badly beaten Val.
"Yup, and now the prick that Vergil wants control over is now even more on guard against us than before." Vox said ignoring Val in his time of pain.
Vergil sat in his chair, and looked to Val, as he chuckled, "You actually tried to get James Dante? Boy, you just make this harder for yourself, don't you?"
"How was I supposed to know the First Dealmaker would stop me..." Val groaned weakly, some of his body parts were twisting in the wrong direction, "Especially since he's supposed to be high on being famous like dem Holly's Wood movie star bitches."
"Well, that's what you get for pissing him off," Velvette said texting on her phone.
"I had to get the boy... he- he has Death's Scythe," Valentino revealed to them, still in pain, "As in, Big Daddy reaper's scythe."
Vergil's eyes went wide, as he calmed a bit, and asked Val, "Say what?"
Val nodded, quickly, his hat tearing off from his shaking, "Dat's what I said... as soon as I heard I tried to make the boy sign off on me and-"
"Hold it!" Vox interrupted, "How do we know that he actually has it?"
"Vox, This is Mr. M, the demon who made the first successful contract in history of both hell and earth. You're really doubting him?" Val asked, his glasses very broken now.
Vox rolled his eyes, "Please, he actually things that he's gonna be the king of Hell."
Vergil, having enough shouted, "CAN WE!- Get back to the point that James got Death's scythe in his hands?"
"Or more to the point: What was the boy doing there in the first place," Velvette asked.
"He was part of the princess' entourage to try and get Angel Dust out of his contract with me." Val answered straightening his back with a sickening snap, "But the princess wouldn't let him make the trade."
"Hmmm, and what did Dante do," Vergil asked.
"He was gonna sign the contract to take Angel's place but like I said Princess sugar and fluff, and that whore Angel talked him out of it. and now he's more on guard after Mr. M revealed about the scythe after-"
"After you lost control and tried to make the boy sign the deal by force." Vox added glaring at Val.
Vergil thought on it, as the two argued, and he smirked, formulating a plan.
Velvette noticed and asked, while the two argued, "You got something cooking in that devious brain of yurs, don't ya luv?"
"Indeed I am." Vergil smiled sinisterly as his robotic eye glowed red.
Back at the Hotel
The doors opened and everyone returned.
James though was walking up the stairs, as he was heading to his room, while Husk went back to the bar. He then grabbed a bottle as Angel sat down, while he made a drink, "Yeesh. Today as something, wasn't it?"
Charlie groaned as she went to the bar and slammed her face to the bar and demanded, "Your strongest drink, make it a quadruple."
Everyone was in shock to see Charlie asking for a drink. Which she's never done before since Alastor added the bar.
"Alright, but I warn you, this drink might be too strong for you." Husker warned her.
She kept groaning until the drink came. Husk then got the drink for her as she took it in one gulp. The bartender was amazed of what the princess just did and makes two more for her.
She groaned placing her head back on the bar and muttered, "I never should've called him..."
"Ugh, this day was horrible!" she groaned, beginning to rant drunkenly, and looked to Husk, "I honestly thought this would work. But I ended up getting James nearly sold off. Plus, I found something about James I wasn't prepared for!"
"Yeah, didn't expect for the Vees to get involved," Angel said, taking a sip. "Speakin' of James, how's he doin," Angel asked.
Charlie groaned more, "Why the hell did I call him..."
"Desperation. Hope. A bit if naivety," Husk went through the list. "Though Hope seemed like a good idea."
A shadow flew on the floor, as Alastor popped up at the bar, smiling as always, but did show a bit of concern and curiosity about the scene, "Pray tell. What is with those looks on all of you?"
"They went to see Mr. M." Niffty answered giggling, popping up from a table.
"The Dealmaker himself? Quite a daring move today," Alastor said, as he sat down, wanting to hear more. "Though I saw James and he too seemed exhausted. I take it he had been in on this venture?"
He heard Charlie groan even louder, "That fucking Fruitloop is still obsessed with my mom!"
Alastor arched an eyebrow... and turned to face someone (the readers) as he said calmly, "Awkward."
Charlie began wailing, "I never should've called him..."
"You said that already," Lydia said, sitting next to her, and asked, "You okay? You seem a bit... plastered."
She shot up and shouted, "I am not plastered!"
The trio, minus Alastor, all thought the same thing, 'She is plastered.'
Lydia helped her, as she smiled, "Charlie, why don't you head to your room and get some sleep? Let's call it a day."
Charlie shook her head, reduced to being a child, "I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna!"
"Now stop that, young lady," Lydia politely, but playfully scolded her, "If you don't go to your room, you won't get a treat."
"I don't want a treat... I want to forget this day happened..." Charlie wailed now.
Lydia gently led her up the stairs, as she groaned, while Lydia half-smirked, "Don't worry. I have a feeling you'll forget today with this treat in mind." The two walked to the room door, as Lydia helped her in, "I'll leave you be."
Charlie hung on her before she sigh, "Okay... but can we check on James first?"
"Let's find out," Lydia smiled, as she opened the door, and led her in, to close it behind... only for both girls to go wide eye and nosebleed. Charlie looking shocked and awkward, with Lydia looking surprised and smiling. For they had stumbled in for James... in nothing but a towel and wet from being in the shower, and he too was shocked at this.
All three remained silent at this, as James finally spoke up, sighing, "I really should put a sign that says, ' Do not Enter: naked'."
Moments Later
A now fully dressed James was sitting g on the floor with two of the three girls he was in an open relationship with. Lydia smiling and in dreamland of what she saw, while Charlie was flustered beyond anything.
"I can't believe that happened..." James sighed then turned to the girls, " we never speak of this to no one, agree
"Agreed." Charlie agreed
"Especially not to Angel," James said. The two girls nodded in agreement. James got up and sighed, "So... how are we gonna make this look innocent?"
"How do you mean," Lydia smiled, "All we saw was a hottie in a towel."
"I mean to keep them from finding out about this." James corrected.
"I think everyone pretty much knows you'll be taking us up on dates," Lydia said, as she knew the cat was out of the bag. "Plus, nobody saw us come in the wrong room. That and we didn't scream."
Though Charlie put her face in her hands and groaned, hiding her deep embarrassment from what had transpired.
"I haven't even seen my ex like that..." Charlie complained while still flustered.
"What was that?" James and Lydia said.
Charlie then squeal embarrassed, "I can't believe today happened like it did..."
James assured her, best he could, "It-It's okay. Honestly, I'm not angry at all.." he blushed, "... if anyone would have seen me naked, it would have been two out of three the girls I'm dating."
Charlie blushed thinking that.
"Well, if it's any consolation, James saw me nude," Lydia shrugged, not minding at all.
Charlie did a dry- spit take of that, "HE DID WHAT!?"
"You don't remember? It was the day I said I was in love with him," Lydia said to her. "That was when Daredevil came in."
"Oh right." Charlie's head was a still a bit fuzzy before remembering.
"So... James and I saw each other naked..." Lydia smirked.
"Oh no," James groaned, and looked paled.
"So maybe..."
"Don't..."
"You should try and make it even amongst us," Lydia blushed, smiling at Charlie.
James sighed, feeling mortified, "Here we go."
Charlie blushed before she said, "I... don't think it's a good idea..."
Though due to panic on that part, James zoomed up to Charlie, preventing her from stripping, if she was, as he panicked, "CHARLIE, NO!"
Though Lydia was laughing to her sides, as she said, "HAHAHAHAHAHHA! You thought I was serious?!" Charlie was blushing and puffing embarrassingly, as Lydia sighed, "You really are a hoot to be around with, Charlie." She wiped away a tear, as she said, "I'm really happy James and I met you."
James though blushed, as he realized he panicked for no reason, as he pulled away, gulping, "S-Sorry. I thought... " Now it was his turn to slap his face, groaning, "Ugh."
Charlie went and hugged the two to her, "I don't know what I'd do without you both in my life..."
"What about Vaggie," James asked, feeling Vaggie was left out.
"Of course Vaggie too." Charlie added, "I just meant of the newcomers. Vaggie's been a great friend and you two showed support for my dream immediately while Vaggie had some concerns."
"Then maybe we should open the door and invite her in this hug," Lydia chimed in. Though the two blinked in this surprise.
James then asked, "Lydia. How long have you known?"
"Since after you got dressed," Lydia answered. "She's been waiting outside your door. I'm surprised she hasn't broken the door down."
James blinked, as he pulled out of the hug, and walked to the door... and when he opened it... Vaggie was there. Though instead of being angry, she was a bit embarrassed of being found out. James looked to Lydia, as he said, "Damn your sharp ears."
The cat girl smirked, as she pointed to them, "We're in Hell, so too late."
Vaggie was embarrassed as he went to Charlie, "Charlie, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I was only... concerned..."
Charlie's eyes were getting all teary, as she got up, pulling Lydia with her, and then glomped all three in a hug, "I love you three so much."
They stared and had their reactions.
James smiled, "Thanks, Charlie."
Lydia smiled, "Ooooh, Charlie." And hugged her back.
Vaggie didn't say anything but smiled nonetheless and hugged her too.
Down in the Lobby
Bruce and Dan were doing their usual thing when the door was heard being knocked.
The boys heard it and were curious on who was knocking.
Dan looked at Bruce and asked, "You ordered pizza?"
Bruce shocked his head telling Dan no.
Clint though, heard that, as he popped his head out of the kitchen and scolded, "I know you're not ordering out! If anyone's gonna do pizza, it's me! I'll make you guys a pizza jamberie!"
Dan shouted back, "Well excuse me to wanting to make sure!"
Before he goes to open the door to either shoo or welcome inside if they're a sexy lady.
Though at that moment, Charlie, James, Lydia, and Vaggie were coming back down. Charlie felt way better with that group hug. Though she wouldn't let it be known that seeing James in nothing but a towel would make things a bit raunchy for when she slept. At least she didn't know that herself.
Dan froze with the door open as he was standing there with a shaky with some muscles jerking in fear.
He then made a sound no one expected, he actually whimpered.
" Dan, you okay buddy?" Clint asked.
Knocking was heard at the front door, as everyone, minus Husk and Angel, were not present. Vaggie looked to Niffty who scurried over to it, as she asked, "Who is it?"
The little maid opened it as she looked up, and saw Vergil. Though not knowing who it was, she turned to everyone and said, "It's someone new that I've never seen."
Charlie though walked up, and paled, as she remembered the porn studio incident, and up, "What are you doing here, Vergil?!"
Vergil, gently picked up Niffty by the head, as he held her far from his left, and walked in, "Oh, I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm just here to see some old friends of mine."
This made everyone look confused, especially James and Lydia who are newcomers and the former asked, "Old friends?"
Vergil then looked over, as he smiled, and extended his head to them both, old Inspector Gadget style, as he smiled, "Hi, guys!"
And then the two jumped back, just as the trio showed up, equally freaked out. Though Vergil looked hurt, as he said, "Now that's just hurtful." And then harshly threw Niffty into the unlit fireplace, as she giggled. While his body walked towards them, as his head extended slowly back, as it did, as he went on, "And I was so looking forward to seeing you guys again." He got closer, as Vaggie was pulling out her spear, as he called them by name, "Clint, Dan, Lydia..." He then scowled, as he groaned, "James." But then returned to normal, as his head locked back in place on his body, as he leaned to Bruce, "And who could ever forget Quiet Bruce." And playfully booped him on the nose, "Boop."
Bruce rubbed his nose annoyed, though this does feel familiar.
"How this prick know who we are?" Dan shouted, shocked he knows them.
Vergil then stepped back, as he created holographic display screens for everyone encircling him, showing his fame and infamy for all to see. "The Pride Ring and all the other Rings know me as Vergil, the 4th Vee. The group's leading Tech Engineer, Leading authority in Robotics, Inventor, Geneticist, Cheese and Chili Enthusiast. Not to mention a frequent donor of HPR Drives." He then clasped it all back, as he smirked at the five, ignoring Charlie and the others, including Alastor who was watching on the balcony floor. "But you five know me by a much older name. A name I'm sure you all would have soon forgotten." Suddenly, Drones flew behind him, making an army, as robotic octopus arms shot out of his back. The scene made the five back off, as he inched at them, smirking, "A phantom! A shadow from your former lives!" He then got closer, as he said, "I. Am..." And struck a pose as he revealed himself in a diabolical fashion, "LIAM LYPTON!"
The five looked surprised at this scene, even with Vergil or Liam, still holding his pose with his octopus claw arms out and the drones behind him, showcasing him with a light and laser presentation. Though all five were silent on this, until James, confused, leaned to Clint and asked, "Clint?"
"Sorry, James. Me and the guys are just as clueless as you on this guy."
Though in the back, Charlie leaned over to Vaggie, and asked, "Vaggie...?"
Vaggie whispered back, "Yes Charlie?"
"Does this make any sense at all," she asked, deeply confused on this situation.
"Not a bit." Vaggie whispered back.
Vergil was quiet for a moment, until he started again, "Liam Lypton!"
"Liam Lytpon," James repeated, confused though in his tone and cadance.
"Liam Lytpon," Vergil repeated.
Lydia had an arched eyebrow, as she said, "Liam Lypton."
"Liam," Vergil said again.
"Liam," Clint said, looking confused or trying to think of the answer.
"Liam," the 4th Vee said again, sounding annoyed.
Dan, clueless as ever, gave him a gunshot gesture, as she half-smirked, "Liam."
"LIAM," Vergil shouted, though Bruce only gave a shrug.
A wave of silence washed over this scenario, with all the occupants of the hotel, as well as Vergil or Liam, still confused on this. Vergil being confused of why they didn't remember him, and the others not having a clue as to who he was.
Vergil then got in their face, making Vaggie standing in defense in front of Charlie, as he asked, "You seriously don't remember me? At all?"
James arched an eyebrow, until he tried to fake it, as he smiled, like greeting an old friend, "Oh, Liam! Hey! Uh... how's your sister?"
Vergil brought his left arm up, which folded out into a five-muzzle laser blaster, as he shouted, "I'M AN ONLY CHILD!"
"Why are you shouting at us? We never met before that stunt you almost pulled on Charlie..." Vaggie asked glaring at the Overlord, wondering why he's mad at all of them and Charlie for something that obviously must have happened in the living world.
He then suddenly fired a rocket punch at the side of them, as he growled, "I'M PISSED OFF THAT NOT EVEN HELL KEEPS A LIST!"
He then stood back, as he looked at them all, and said, "Then allow me to explain. In New Jersey High School. I was once Liam Lypton. Son of Lyle Lypton of Lypton-Loopty Robotics. A wealthy billionaire, slated to become the 4t richest trillionaire in the world. His son was born a gifted genius in robotics and all forms of science, admiring the praise and adoration of those around him. The Ultimate King of Vanity, as it were. Though not physically able, he was able to use brains and technology to override the inefficiency of Brawn over Brains. But apparently..." he looked to James, as he scowled, "Not able to triumph Kindness or Generosity."
He then scowled, and pointed at James, "MY RIVAL!"
"Huh?" Came the collective responses to the five newcomers from September of this year alone.
"Yeah, James," he frowned, as he explained, "I may have been heavily gifted in mind and charm, but you were always a goody two shoes in your own way. Blood Drives, Bake Sales, charity events. It didn't matter because that big heart of yours outshined my star of brilliance! And everyone looked up to you. Everyone ignored me, all through college, until that fateful accident, when those three stoners killed all of us and themselves... and I got sent down here!"
The five looked confused before asking, "Who are you again?"
The Professor then blinked, "Wait. Lypton. As in Lyle's son?"
"Finally! Someone knows me," Vergil groaned.
The Professor reached into his pocket and aimed a giant cannon at the proclaimed Lypton, shouting - in his Vader-esque voice, "PREPARE TO DIE AGAIN, LYPTON-SCUM!"
Vergil seemed unfazed by that, as the drones pulled a chair up for him, as he sat down, "If I wanted to destroy you all, I would have done it at the tower... and launched an Angelic Steel-tipped Holy Light equivelant of a nuclear warhead at this place." And the drones then pulled up a coffee table with a tea and cookie set, "But I'm not Valentino. Nor will I ever be."
"Please My infinity cannon is strong enough to send your bastard bloodline to the void where you and all your family belong. Why it can destroy this and all of Pentagram city." The Professor remained unconvinced as he was about to pull the trigger, only for most of the Hotel staff and guests to tackle him to the ground and try to get the cannon out of his, unbelievably, strong grip. James, sweating at his uncle's reaction to Lypton, took this threat from the Vee seriously and asked, "So why didn't you?"
"Because I like to do business," Vergil smiled.
Charlie and Vaggie glanced at each other even as they heard the Professor shout from the background, "Don't believe a word of it, James! He has more venom in his words than Lucifer's pet snake!"
Charlie gulping would approach and asked, "What sort of business?"
"Well, I don't want business with you, Princess," Vergil said, dropping his charm from back in the Tower with her, as he looked to James, "I wish to do business with you, James."
James glared hearing how Vergil was talking to Charlie and asked, "Why me?"
"Well, mostly because I know you're not one to pass this deal in concern for..." Vergil said as he looked at his left hand's nails, until he turned to James, and smirked, "... Angel Dust?"
This made James narrow his eyes glaring at Vergil. "What do you want," James asked, as he sat down.
"Oh, nothing much," Vergil smirked, "An exchange. I'll have Valentino release Angel Dust... in exchange, you take Angel's place."
"Hell no, James don't even consider it, this conversation is over!" Vaggie shouts angrily getting up.
"Yeah, why would I want to be a porn star." James said glaring at Vergil.
"Not a porn star. Merely... a permanent employee of the Vees," Vergil corrected. "You take Angel's place in the contract, and I'll work up the brush strokes in that you work solely for me."
James thought about it, while concerned about his friend.
"Unlike Val, Vox, or Velvette, I treat my employees under contract humanely," Vergil sweetened the deal. "I would have gotten Angel on my team, but I doubt he's big on heavy lifting or science. And as well all know, Valentino wouldn't permit it. But he would make an exchange for someone even better under employment. Angel would still work at the studio, but no longer under contract, he would be free to come and go to the Hotel as he pleases."
James continued to think about it.
James looked to Vergil, as he asked, "And you would...?"
"Don't even think about it kid, trust me it ain't worth it," Husk said while he was attending the bar, while he wasn't entirely involved in the conversation, he knew selling your soul was never worth it.
James thought before he said, "Why would you want me?"
"Well, you know how most people say that the nerds will be the bosses and their rivals/bullies would be their underlings," Vergil explained, as James nodded. Vergil shrugged, "Well, I've always wanted you to work for me. So that's that."
"Considering this Angel Defense Tec has to be underway before the Next Extermination, I do need someone reliable and hard-working," Vergil explained, though it hinted to Vaggie on what Vergil knew, "And honestly... you're ten times worth more than a porn star for this."
"Look if this is about causing your death, I swear it was an accident," Clint said trying to intervene.
"This has nothing to do with how I got here," Vergil stated, as he looked to James, "This has to do with what is needed to be done. Not with what one wants."
Lydia rushed over to Charlie and whispered, tugging at her arm, "Charlie, you gotta do something."
Charlie sighed looking down a bit, if her talks didn't work how will it work with this new overlord. But... this is James who's on the line, and she'll be damned if she let her boyfriend goes to sell his soul. Charlie got to James and said, "James, we'll find another way. Selling your soul won't make any difference."
"Stay out of this," Vergil calmly said, not looking at her, but to James, "I mean, you're not one to let a friend continuously get abused by a narcissist psycho who obviously shouldn't even treat people like they should." He then shrugged, "Besides, you'd be doing real results there than here. I mean, can you honestly say the princess knows what she's doing?"
James was silent for a moment before saying, "Maybe not, but its more of a goal than making something that's gonna start war between Heaven and Hell."
He then sternly looked to Vergil and said, "I'm not doing it."
"What's that? I couldn't hear you over everyone crying out, keeping you from making a decision," Vergil taunted.
but then James kicked the table aside, as he looked to Vergil, "I said! I'm not doing it." He then explained to him, as he started, "It's true that the results for the hotel are lacking, but Charlie's trying. She gives more until it hurts, and she still gives. And she doesn't make deals selling out others the way you're trying to do."
He then looked to him, "And I believe when Angel is redeemed, the contract will be rendered null and void. So Valentino won't have that power over him." He then stood up, as he said, "But if you, the flat faced idiot Vox, the fashion witch Velvette, or Val aka Herpes the Clown at V Tower... try and do something else.." He then leaned in face-to-face to a calm Vergil, as his eyes glowed, "You're gonna learn first-hand just how good I am at fighting down here."
Vergil remained unfazed, but softly smiled, as he stood up, "I expected as much." He then snapped his fingers, as the drones left, while Vergil walked out, "But I haven't given up on making you a member of the Vees, James Dante." He turned around, as he said, "If redemption is possible, it's not for everyone. And I highly doubt that Angels who have spent 10,000 years of a once in a year killing frenzy wish to give up on something like that."
Vergil sighed before snapped, "...Let me put this a way even you idiots will understand."
He then began to dance while music began to play around them where Vergil began to sing, I'm not some dude in distress
He ended that with a sliding down the main step's railing, flipping backwards in a full 360 degree spin, as he landed on the ground effortlessly, getting in the faces of Charlie, Vaggie, James, & Lydia, I'm not your boyfriend or the frightened prince-ass
I'm not a shitty bird who needs your help to fly in heaven he sauntered away from them and smirked challengingly at Alastor,
Nope... he sung pleasantly, before he slinked out of sight,
He then spun close to Charlie and 'whispered' non-discreetly, I'm the bad guy
He then had a hologram of many sinners of big time criminals or crime bosses that were once free now enslaved to Vergil, via contracts with him doing what he ordered them to do, some working in a factory setting while others were being used to secure his assets, the majority of them are in jail cells, All those sinners that you see~ee~eee!
At the sight of Vergil many of the underlings knelt down one by one, as he sung, Each of them, with shaking knees, has knelt before me
So, I'm not your teammate or your partner in crime He said pinching the cheek of one then flicking the hat off of one through a drone showing them the said villains,
What am I, boys? Vergil urged grinning as evily as Alastor did one time,
All of the enslaved villains answered, "He's the bad guy"
Vergil ended the hologram before he went to another screen to show how some were made to work in a technical lab, and sung, Oh, it's magic
To watch a friendship One of the workers would accidentally hit another of his 'inmate' which caused a vicious fight to happen,
Shrivel up and die He said watching as they were beating each other to an inch of their lives before his drones could pull them apart.
Vergil then arrived to Charlie and, to the anger and shock of everyone in the room, watched as he waltzed with her, singing, Oh, it's thrillin'
To be a villain the Vee then dipped her low and made it look like he was going to kiss her before he dropped her on her back while standing over her, I destroy their hopes and then I watch them cry
Laughing to himself, Vergil then transformed into his Demon Form, and yelled in Charlie's face, " 'Cause I'm the bad guy!"
Vergil then spun around slowly away from Charlie and sung another verse, not knowing that James helped her up, Oh, ain't it fantastic?
He looked at the side seeing a bug,I see something, I blast it
And did just that causing a large scorch mark on the wall.
And let me tell you whyHe then blasted the floor making it erupt with hellfire around Charlie and James, making the two recoil.
Vergil then reverted back to normal, and walked through it while he proved the Hellfire wasn't real, and sung, I've always had a weakness
For wickedness and freakiness Singing, as he flicked Vaggie's hair and took something from Niffty, a book of her bug-dead collection, despite the small sinner's attempts to get it back, and was tossed when Vergil's tail hit her, making her flying into the stooges.
Vergil held it high for all to see, I crush all your hopes and then I watch.
Before crushing it in his metallic claws, glancing at Niffty, You.
Cry. and saw Niffty shedding a tear, unaware that, behind him, Alastor almost lost his smile, though his demonic power flowed out of him. showing how angry he is at the mistreatment of one of his friends.
He then extended himself over to the stooges and sung, See, I find this business rather fun
I don't want your assistance or your redemption He said his head extending over to Charlie with a sick twisted pleasure, he then had his body go over to where his head is, dropping them as he sung, I'll vaporize heaven and bid it bye-bye
Why? Vergil asked, smirking evilly, but seeing how none of them are answering. Vergil decided to shout, Come on! Guess!
Charlie and James, had no choice but to 'guess', Cause you're the bad guy?
"Oh, that's right," Vergil agreed, before he let out a maniacal laughter that was heard throughout the hotel.
But Vergil shrugged, as he got up, holding his hands up, "Fair enough. I know when I'm not wanted or taken seriously." And then he proceeded to leave as he opened the front door and walked out. But he turned to look at them, as he said, "But you can expect me not to give up. Though I will be sending a peace token to you, James. An apology for all the trouble." And then he left out of sight, as the door closed behind him.
Alastor stood there, his energy flowing out of him dangerously and asked, "Can I kill him now?"
"Patience, although I know the feeling," Vaggie said to him.
But Vergil shrugged, as he got up, holding his hands up, "Fair enough. I know when I'm not wanted or taken seriously." And then he proceeded to leave as he opened the front door and walked out. But he turned to look at them, as he said, "But you can expect me not to give up. Though I will be sending a peace token to you, James. An apology for all the trouble." And then he left out of sight, as the door closed behind him.
Though Vaggie groaned, "I don't like him."
"Neither do I." James muttered.
Next Morning
The door knocked as James, now awakened after a jog with Daredevil, and had gone showered, came down, as he heard the door knocking. Turning to Husk, who was at the bar/check in table, asked, "Were we expecting a package?"
"I don't think so..." Husk answered, still on guard after how yesterday went.
James shrugged, as he walked over to the door, opening it. But he was a bit stunned to see what... or who was there.
They were two females, in their mid to late twenties. The first on the left was a feline sinner with dark orange fur, long hair that reached down to her butt, and a bushy tail. She had cat-like ears protruding through her hair and brownish-red fur on both of her wrists, hands, feet, and the tip of her tail. Her attire consisted of a choker with a bell on it and a skimpy white two-piece with a cleavage window and a yellow paw print on her bottoms.
The second girl was a slender succubus demon with red-colored skin, black hair, sangria-colored wings, white pupils, and a barbed tail. She had sangria-colored horns with red stripes throughout. She were a sleeveless, short white shirt that exposed her midriff, marlot red shorts, and toeless black stockings.
The cat girl smiled, as she made introductions, "It's a pleasure to meet meow here and nyaow. My name is Summer."
The succubus girl shook her head, as she made intros, "Excuse her cat puns. She'll do that. My name is Dia. And today, we're yours from here..."
"... and nyaow," Summer cat smiled.
James blinked, "What..?
"We were sent and assigned by Vergil to work with you," Dia explained. "As a means of showing there are no hard feelings even though you're rivals."
Summer purred nuzzling agasint his body to prove it.
James blinked, "Eh wha...?"
Though at that moment, it would become a blood bath, as two out of three... or now five... of his love interests, were coming down the stairs. And it was Vaggie, and Lydia.
Dia would rubbed her leg against his crotch as she said, "You know you're cute for a sinner who looked like an Imp."
"Um, I eh... not sure if we should do this here..." James gulped, still not noticing the two girls. Though Dia did, as she went wide eye on what she saw.
"Oh my. I had no idea you had girls with you already. My, Mr. Vergil didn't tell us about your sex drive." Dia commented.
"What? No. I haven't... I mean, I'm not... "
Though Summer and Dia both lit up, as they heard this news entirely.
"Wait. You mean you're..." Summer began to ask, as hearts formed in her eyes, as she smiled, "An unspoiled Virgin?! That means we can be your first!"
"That means we can pleasure you better than those two prudes behind you." Dia said while Summer nodded excitedly.
James paled, as he asked, "Who?"
"Yes," Vaggie said, as she and Lydia smiled... while she pulled out her spears, and Lydia's body began to secrete some kind of shadowy mist, while Vaggie was on the verge of snapping, "What prudes?"
Though Charlie was walking about, as she yawned, "What's going on?"
Summer stared, "Oh Myeow! The Princess heerself! I'myeow purring all over."
Everyone was clueless as to what she said, as they all blinked, "Huh?"
Much Time Later
Living Room
After things had calmed down, the tenants, Alastor and the Professor present, as well as Vaggie and Lydia calming down, the two girls had given the gist of why they were there. Apparently, they were the present and peace pipe that Vergil was talking about. And they were James's to boot.
Suffice it to say, Angel was laughing his head off, though Charlie was deeply confused by this.
James, however, was nursing several bruises and cuts so much that he looked like a mummy neck up.
"So let me see if I have this straight: You guys formerly worked for Valentino, but were given to Vergil, and now Vergil gave you both to James as a means to broker a peace treaty between each other," Charlie asked, surmising the whole thing.
"Yeah that's right," Dia said, while Summer nodded her head.
"I don't know what to do," James said, confessing he didn't have a clue as to what to do with this.
Summer nuzzled her new boy, "nyaow can we have fun Jamie-baby?"
Charlie paled, and shot up, waving her arms out, "No way! James was going on a date with me!" But all four girls blinked at this.
Charlie mentally facepalmed at her sudden reveal, realizing what she just shouted…"Oh shit" she thought to herself.
"WHAT?!" Vaggie and Lydia shouted.
Dia blinked, "Wait. A date? Is that how it works with James?"
"Nyah mean we have to wait till we can each have fun with Jamie?" Summer asked. (edited)
"Yeah, that's kinda what he suggested," Lydia shrugged, "He'd take us each on a date."
Dia lit up, "Oooh! If we get a chance, we have to go to the Lust Ring. They have primo choices on date locations."
James then said, "I'd have to get to know you and Summer better before that."
Summer then snuggled with James, "Then I look forward to knowing you better. Nyah."
Though Charlie, Lydia, and even Dia blushed and cringed, as they all thought, 'Damnit! She's too cute!'
James closed his eyes to resist, doing his best not to let his libido do all the thinking. But then, something else happened. All the girls, from Charlie, Vaggie, Lydia, to the two new ones: Dia and Summer. All dogpiled James as they tried to make him do with him.
"Gab! Help," James called out.
Though as they struggled, Lydia looked to Vaggie and asked, "What are you doing?"
Vaggie looked back, "What do you think? Trying to make my date with James first."
"Thought you didn't want that," Lydia half smirked
"Well, I'm not gonna let those two sluts from the Vees go ahead of me," Vaggie denied. "Plus, I'm not about to let the redemption get jeopardized!"
"Well wait in line," Dia smirked, "I've got plans for this virgin."
"Nyah! Not if I deflower him first," Summer cried out.

Dan and Bruce were watching as Dan, having the most jealous shed thick streaming, threatening to be red, tears of jealousy, "Scooching Nooch!"
