Vox was sitting in his laboratory, his face once broken beyond recognition now fixed a month after the incident with the V tower's destruction. He was looking over the sales of his products, seeing that they were still doing well despite what had occurred since then.
Afterward, he stopped looking at the sales and turned to the monitor with the news on. They didn't appear to be talking about the incident or the human who caused it. He checked the many screens for the media but only found that barely anyone was talking about the former and more about the latter. Part of him felt relief, however, he knew the humiliation would be long-lasting, especially with the other overlords.
His thoughts were interrupted by a ringing that came from his head. Valentino's picture appeared with his name as if it were a phone call. With a groan, he touched his face and then shot the call to one of the monitors as the moth demon appeared with a face cam, his figure and appearance seemingly recovered and back to normal as well.
"Hey, Val. What do you want?" Vox says, not even looking in his direction.
"I was just gonna tell you that I'm gonna be getting back in business soon, but clearly you couldn't give less of a shit." Valentino says in annoyance.
"Good for you."
"Vox, it's been a month. How much fucking longer are you gonna be up in your tower for?"
"None of your business."
"Just saying. I'm sure you have to work yourself. I have to get this fucking Valentine's Day special out late because of then."
"Yeah, well good for you. Also, you do realize Valentine's Day has long passed, right?"
Val rose a brow at what he said. "The fuck you talking about, Vox? Valentine's Day was two weeks ago." He says which makes the TV Head perk up.
"Wha… what are you talking about? The fourth of July was last month." Vox says in disbelief.
"No, it fucking wasn't. That month doesn't come before February."
"F-February?"
"Yes! How the fuck did you not know what month it was?"
Confused, Vox looked around, then saw the date on the news which showed something completely different from what he remembered. Looking miffed, he checked his digital calendar which said it was August, then slapped himself in his face, and before it said 'RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS', then the calendar was corrected to February.
"Wha… How the fu…? When did this happen?" He says in disbelief before his face shows a spinning wheel, and then he sees a replay of Gible lunging at and biting his head before his face turns back to normal. "You have got to be FUCKING KIDDING ME!" He says while slamming his fist on the armrest.
"What? What is it?"
"That little shithead shark fucked up my calendar when it bit me."
"You're just noticing this now?"
"I was caught up in the fucking-Oh my god." Vox groaned before rubbing his face.
"Fucking hell." Valentino sighed while pinching his nose. "Tell me you're not still hung up on that shit."
"I'm not… also that's rich coming from how you reacted."
"I am pissed, but it's pretty different from you."
Vox wanted to argue back, but held his tongue and just looked away.
"Look, I'd love to stay and talk more shit with you, but I was only calling you to give you an update. Nothing more, nothing less. So, do you have something to say before I hang up?"
"... No."
"Fine but… word of advice, maybe leave your room at some point. Just saying."
"Got it. See ya."
He then hung up before leaning back in his chair with a sigh. He looked at the countdown for the Extermination, then looked at the news. Something came up and he unmutes it.
"-still silent about the terrorist attack and haven't answered any questions." Katie says.
"Well, not just not answering. They've been ignoring our calls-" Tom starts to say before screaming as Katie poured coffee on his dick and he falls over.
"In other news, a whole month has gone by, and there still has been no sign of the human who attacked Vox anywhere in Hell. However, some dumbasses have made theories that these could be suspected to be the human in disguise for some reason."
Then several pictures of different demons were shown on screen, none of which looked close or showed any resemblance to Ash whatsoever other than having black hair.
"Wait… what the fuck are these pictures? What did you dumbasses get these off Google?" Katie says.
"Ma'am, you're on live." The cameraman says.
"I don't give a shit! Who're the motherfucking dumbasses who sent in these pictures!? I am too rich to be dealing with this bullsh-" Katie started to say before Vox muted her.
"Tch, to think I chose that station of all stations." He says before sipping his coffee.
Then a picture of Ash was put up, likely to prove that the demons shown didn't look like him. He stared for a moment. At this point, Alastor wasn't even on his mind anymore. He hadn't remembered the last time he felt such fear, yet the moment when he saw the boy raising a knife-like thing over his head… he shook his head before turning off his monitors.
After that, he took his time standing up from his chair. He needed a plan, but… now wasn't the time.
AshFan: Okay, that part is done, now we can get into the actual episode.
TaiKetch'em: W-wait, what was the point of this scene?
AF: Well, to make to fix a small mistake I made in a previous chapter.
TK: Wha-I thought this was to give Vox some more development.
AF: Well, yeah, it became that. But that's not why I included that.
TK: …
AF: It doesn't matter. Right now, we got a story to get to.
TK: Oh, right. Let's-a go!
(Months later)
Morning came as always. In one bedroom particularly, the morning light had shone through the window as best as it could, though it was being blocked off heavily. Enough still shone in the room to keep it from pitch black though.
The pet bed was empty and no one decided to take it this time, everyone staying in the room being on the bed. Pikachu, Keekee, and Riolu were snuggled up and snoozing away like no tomorrow. Ash, Charlie, and Vaggie were all snuggled up just in deep slumber. However, the blonde was the first one up.
She was a little groggy, but she couldn't find herself going back to sleep. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't find slumber. Eventually, she couldn't stay where she was. As much as she loved being held by her lovers, she didn't want to feel stiff, so she snaked her way out of their hold and sat up. She combed her hair out of her face while brushing off her pajama shirt then sighed to herself.
The first thing on her mind that morning wasn't about the activities for the hotel, or about how to improve her dating life with her girlfriend and boyfriend, but it was on… well the current and most notable problem of the days counting down.
She got up from the bed, putting her Valentine's doll on the dresser, and went over to the window, taking off one of the blue papers and looking out. Ash said that they didn't have to keep the windows and other things covered with this stuff from the human world anymore, but she insisted on keeping them up just for him. And when she looked out, she saw the clock tower.
7… 7 days left before the next Extermination.
"No…" She said while stepping back and rubbing her head. "No, no, no, no, no, no." She started to pace around the room while muttering to herself in quiet panic. "This can't be happening. Fuck, I have to think of something."
After that she went to her dresser and opened her drawer, pulling out her underwear. However, she stopped once she started to pull out the rest of her outfit. She looked over at her other two lovers who were still asleep, just without her there. The panic subsided shortly after as she knew they would be worried sick if they saw her the way she was acting at that moment.
They had faith in her and she was gonna see to it that it wasn't in vain.
After a moment, she looked back at them, getting on the edge of the bed by her knees to get a better look. She smiled as she thought they looked cute while sleeping. She wanted to capture the moment so she took out her phone and held it up to take a picture and-
CLICK!* The flash and shudder made her fumble with her phone, nearly dropping it before holding it to her chest. There was a bit of a grunt and twitch of the eyes from Ash which made her cover her mouth. Thankfully though, he didn't wake up, which made her sigh in relief.
As she was putting her quietly putting her phone into the pocket of her clothes on the dresser, Ash's free arm began to twitch as if reaching for her. She tried to find something to take her spot so that he wouldn't wake up, but that seemed to resolve itself as when he found nothing, his empty arm went and wrapped around Vaggie's waist, pulling her closer to him.
His other arm moved up to her head almost like a protective hug. Vaggie seemed to smile as her arms fully wrapped around him. He instinctively nuzzled his face into her hair, both of them still asleep.
Charlie at first wanted to squeal from how adorable they looked. However, it seemed overshadowed by another thing… jealousy. Her smile soon faded and her brow furrowed as her eyes changed to white and red.
Before the anger could fully take over though, she caught a glimpse at her mirror across from her and her eyes widened as she saw her horns and her hair flaring up. She covered her mouth again as she changed back to normal in that instant. She was shocked to see herself suddenly in that state.
Taking another look at the two, then looking at her hands, she got up from the bed and took her clothes before rushing to the bathroom. She dropped her clothes on the toilet seat and put her hands on the sink counter while panting. She took a closer look in the mirror to make sure the demonic stuff was gone before giving herself light slaps on her cheeks.
"God! What am I doing!? What is wrong with me!?" She shouted before covering her mouth while looking at the door, fearful that she may have woken someone up.
Thankfully, when taking a peak out, it seemed that no one was disturbed. She stepped back before rubbing her face, still not understanding where the sudden hostility came from.
She then looked back at the mirror. Looking past the sudden anger she got from just moments again, she noticed her hair being messy and her clothes wrinkled before shaking her head and getting back to her original task.
Once she took off her pajamas, she tied her hair to make it easier and then started to get dressed. When she pulled her panties up, she could've sworn she felt something off but ignored it. Then when she started to put her bra on, she suddenly felt herself having more trouble than usual.
'That's… weird. Did my boobs get bigger? I swear they should have been done growing centuries ago.' She thought to herself in confusion before she started to put her pants on, only to find they felt tighter than normal, but not uncomfortable. 'Wha-Did my pants shrink?'
She groaned to herself before picking up her shirt and then started to put it on. However, she stopped before looking at the mirror. Now that her pajama shirt wasn't in the way, she started to notice something else. It was hard and she had to squint a bit, but she swore that something also looked off.
She ran a hand down her stomach, stopping in the middle. It still looked normal, but she couldn't shake the feeling of something being off.
'... No, I'm just losing it. Wait, that's not a good thing. No, I'm not losing it, I'm just… delusional? Paranoid? What is the word!?' She started to freak out before shaking her head. "Get it together, Charlie." She mutters to herself. 'What was I doing?... Right, Extermination, activities, gotta go!' She says before she buttoned the rest of her shirt and put on suspenders before running out.
(An hour later)
The alarm clock blared in the room. Pikachu was the first to wake up to it, groggily getting out of the pile before getting on the dresser and faceplanting on the stop button, silencing the hellish noise. After that, he rubbed his eyes before looking at the bed. He looked confused when he saw the princess missing before looking around. The only thing he found was the bathroom door left ajar and hopped over to it.
Ash opened one eye, being muffled at first. He didn't open his mouth though as he found familiar silver hair in his face. He smiled though and gave her a little nudge.
"Hey, Vaggie. You awake?" He asked.
"... No." She says, unconvincingly.
"Oh, really?" He asked.
She didn't respond. It seemed that she decided after speaking was a good time to be silent. He just smirked before turning his head and then started attacking her head with kisses, making her giggle before lifting her head and trying to lean away, only to leave her cheek open.
"Stop it! Knock it off!" She says while playfully shoving him. "I'm up!"
"Sorry, I couldn't help it."
She just chuckled before giving him another shove before she noticed something missing and her smile dropped. "Charlie?"
Hearing that, the boy turned his attention away as his playful demeanor turned to concern. "Charlie?" He asked as well before looking around, then seeing the bathroom door open. "Hey, you okay in there?"
Instead of Charlie coming out, Pikachu waddled through the door before holding up the jacket to her uniform. That made them look puzzled.
TaiKetch'em: Credit to Lord Ashwood the 42nd for help. He's been a big one.
AshFan: I was getting there!
TK: Hey man, you blew me up last chapter. I don't wanna hear any attitude.
AF: You smacked me and threw I pipebomb at me before then! I think I had more than a right to blow you up.
TK: Bro, I'm straight.
AF: Oh not like that! PERVERT!
TK: YOU'RE THE ONE WHO MADE IT SEXUAL-We are getting off track.
AF: Right… back to the chapter.
(Downstairs)
Once they were dressed back in their normal clothes, Ash and Vaggie went into the lobby with the Pokemon and Keekee following. The sounds of frantic muttering, which did not settle their worry and concern.
And what only fueled their concern was when they walked downstairs to find everyone (except Alastor) at the parlor looking concerned (except Niffty) at Charlie whose hair was left unkempt with one tie and was muttering to herself as she was pacing around her activity board… boards in this case, but they were littered and full of so many papers that some were falling off.
Charizard saw his trainer was awake and turned to greet him. "Hey, buddy, uh…" He then looked over at the frantic princess. "How… long has she…?" He started to say.
"Uh… a while." Pentious says as Snivy rests on his shoulder. "Husk?"
"I don't know, man. She was doing this before I got here." Husk says before drinking alcohol from a mug as Oshawott chimed in, saying his name.
"Yikes. She's lost it, alright." Angel says while Pikachu picks up one of the papers that fell.
"Charlie?" Vaggie says, not getting her attention.
"Uh, sweetie? Are you okay-?" Ash asked.
"NOPE!" Charlie suddenly yelled as she turned around, startling everyone, especially with her bloodshot eyes. "NO! Not really! I've been up trying to figure out why the hotel isn't WORKING! We've tried trust falls. Sharing our feelings. We only have a few months left before the angels come-" She then let out a manic laugh equal to Alastor… No seriously, she had the monocle and radio filter over her voice.
"Charlie." Ash says while walking over to her.
"And at this rate-" She was about to continue.
"Hey, calm down-" He says while putting a hand on her shoulder.
"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!" She screamed as she turned full demon, startling him and making him back away which in turn made her realize and turn back to normal quickly. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" She started frantically saying.
"It's okay, it's okay." Ash says before hugging her to his chest as she starts gasping. "It's okay."
His arms started to glow around the blonde, the glow started to soothe her. After a moment, her frantic gasps for air slowed to normal and she hugged back.
"Damn, that was quick. He knows what to do for his girl." Angel jokes.
Vaggie saw and looked a little sad as she looked down. Riolu saw and grabbed one of her hands with his paw. When she looked down at him, he gave her a sympathetic look. She picked the jackal up and he gave her a little lick before resting his head under her chin. It made her feel better.
"Thank you. I'm…" Charlie says before pulling away. "I'm really sorry."
"It's fine. I know this is taking a toll on you."
"It's not just that. We haven't made any progress in these past months. I know redemption is hard, but it's like they don't care about the fact that they could die at any moment especially since the Extermination is around the corner!"
"Charlie." Vaggie says, catching her attention. "Maybe it's time-"
"NO!"
"To ask-"
"DON'T SAY IT!" Charlie says while grabbing her cheeks. NOT THOSE ONES YA SICKOS.
"Your dad." Vaggie finishes as the blonde groans. "Charlie, I know you don't want to, but we need every advantage we can get."
"He let the Extermination happen to begin with. They had a meeting and they just went 'Go ahead and kill everyone' without-*GASP*! Wait a second." She had a moment of realization. "That's it!"
"Killing everyone?" Ash asked with concern as Pikachu pulled out the frying pan and reeled back.
"No!" Charlie quickly says before the Pokemon sheepishly puts it away as Keekee glares at him. "He could get me a meeting with Heaven."
"Didn't we already try that?" Vaggie asked.
"And didn't it go to shit?" Angel asked.
"Well, yeah, with Adam. He was an asshole. But he isn't in charge of all of Heaven. We could go to the top. There's bound to be some angels that'll listen."
She then took out her phone and scrolled down her contacts list to find her dad which had a picture of a duck on it. It made Ash wonder why it was a duck. However, he didn't think for long as he realized the blonde was hesitating with her fingers over the call button.
"What's the hold-up? Daddy issues" Husk asked impatiently.
"No, I don't have issues with him." Charlie says defensively which makes the cat raise his hands. "Look, we've just… I haven't seen him in a while. It's never really me who calls him. Especially now."
"Well, I'd like to meet the big dick in charge." Angel says while leaning over the couch.
"The ultimate bad boy. ~" Niffty says before giggling like a psycho… so nothing new. "I bet he's scary."
"Hey-" Ash says, getting her attention. "Look, you don't have to do this, but I'm not stopping you."
"Whatever you do, we'll be there for you." Vaggie tells her while putting a hand on her other shoulder.
"... Thanks." Charlie says before looking back at her phone.
She took a deep breath, the tapped on the call button.
(Meanwhile…)
"Yes, that's it." A dark and horse voice says as we pan to a figure with blonde hair in a white suit and tophat working on something at one of the desks against the wall. "Almost there."
Three blonde beings stood, watching him and waiting for whatever he had prepared.
"Now… presenting…" He then turns around. "The magic-tastical backflipping rubber duck!" His tone changed to cherry and upbeat as he showed off the duck which did a backflip. "That spits fire!" The duck then proceeded to spit fire.
… the shortest of the blondes then began to clap fast and loudly while smiling brightly. He looked at the other two and smacked their arms before gesturing towards the man. The taller one being Connor clapped quickly while cheering while the other clapped but was less enthusiastic with her cheering.
"Hoo, hold the applause! Please, okay." He then steps down from the desk, the rest of the room being filled with rubber ducks. "Oh, thank you, thank you-Oh god, who am I kidding? This sucks!" He then threw the duck he had in his hand.
The duck hit a painting that had what looked like him with a woman, a smaller version of Charlie and the other blondes in it. Seeing this, he panicked before running and catching it before it could fall. The other three had also panicked for a moment and helped him set the picture back up properly… a bit of it getting crooked for a moment before fixing it again.
The man sighed in relief and then stepped back. After he took another look at the picture though, his smile fell. Something about seeing the picture-Oh nevermind, clown music is playing.
"Wha…" he says while pulling out his phone. "Daughter? Daughter calling-Daughter-DAUGHTER CALLING!" He says while fumbling with his phone for a second.
"Wait Charlie's calling!?" The shorter of the other three say while looking over the man.
"Oh, yay. So good." The girl blonde says sarcastically.
"Um… uh…" The man started to freak out. "Hello, Charlie. H-heh, hey Char-Char. NO! No that's not good! Oh, what do I say?"
"I-I don't know." Connor says with his hands up defensively.
"She ain't my daughter." The girl blonde says unamused.
"She's your sister though-Oh my…" The man says before turning away. "Oh, this is the first time she's called you in years. This has to be perfect." He says before answering the phone. "Heeey, bitch!"
The girl blonde then busted out laughing before Connor smacked her. "Ow! What!? It was funny?"
"Hi, dad." Charlie says from the other side.
"Hey! How are you? Ha-ho, uh… w-where are you these days?" The man asks while inspecting one of his ducks.
"You know where I am, Dad. I've told you before." Charlie tells him.
"You have? Oh, uh…" The man fumbled with his words.
"The Hazbin Hotel." Connor quickly whispered to him.
"The Hazbin Hotel, yeah! That's nice."
"I heard you, Connor." Charlie says as the other blonde quickly steps away.
(Other side)
"Dad, I told you about this five months ago. Did you not listen?" Charlie says in frustration.
"No, no, just-just forgot you know. I've been really busy! Ya know with um… important things." The man known as Lucifer says over the phone.
Ash was gonna walk in, but Vaggie stopped him. "Let her do this."
"Hi, big sis!" A young and enthusiastic voice came over the phone.
"Hey, Charles. How are you doing?" Charlie asks.
"We are doing great. Ya know, everything is GREAT! Right, Cecilia!?" The boy called over.
"... Sure." The female blonde says.
"Ah, she's so happy to hear from you."
"Yeah, I can tell. Uh, Dad, I'm running a hotel to rehabilitate sinners." She says while looking back as Angel gives her a nervous nod. "Maybe you saw our commercial."
"Oh… sadly, I missed it." The man says with a nervous laugh as the blonde looks crestfallen. "Ya know, I haven't been watching too much TV lately. Scrambles the brain, blog, hehe." He then says which makes her pinch the bridge of her nose. "But hey, a hotel! Fun!"
"Dad… look, I've got a big ask."
"GH… uh, sure. Of course. Anything in my power is yours for the asking you just name it."
With this in mind, Charlie pulled the phone away from her face and took a deep breath. "I need to speak to Heaven. Whoever's in charge up there, above Adam, above anybody-I need to go to the top!"
"OH! NO! Nooooooooo! No, no, no Charlie!" He continued to go on that 'no' spray as the princess looked embarrassed. "That's uh-No."
"Look, Dad!" Charlie says, nearly crushing the phone. "I don't ask you for much. I never have, but this… this is really important to me. It's the most important thing I've ever done. And…" She says before Vaggie walks up and holds her hand. "I need you. I need your help."
"I… Charlie… I-I don't know." Lucifer says, hesitant.
"PLEASE! Just…" She slowly started to panic again before Ash came over and put his hands on her shoulders, using his power to calm her again. "Come see what I'm doing. With your help, Heaven might agree if I can talk to them. Please, Dad."
"Wait… you're inviting me over!?" Lucifer says, sounding excited.
"Uh… y-yeah, I want you to come over."
(On the other side)
"Absolutely! We'll be there in an hour!" The man says enthusiastically before hanging up and then dancing. "My daughter wants to see me! ~ Take that depression!" He says to… nothing in particular before looking at the other blondes. "Kids! Pack your things! We're gonna be visiting your big sister!" He then says as he dances out the door.
"Will do!" Charles says cheerfully as the man's voice echoes down the hall.
"Yeah, I'm so excited to be seeing her again." Cecilia says in annoyance.
"Maybe sound the part then." Connor tells her.
"Not really my cup of tea."
"Well, maybe if you focused on sounding less bitchy instead of fingering yourself to magazines-" Connor says in a condescending tone.
"Well, maybe if you were less of a cuck-" Cecilia started in a smarmy tone.
"Fucking christ on a stick! Can you two just not for once!" Charles out of frustration. "Didn't you hear Charlie? She sounded really stressed when she called and also, Dad hasn't been this happy in a long time. Please, for the sake of both of them can you two please behave to each other, especially to Charlie."
"Just saying, I'm not the one who has a stick up-" Connor started.
"Ah!" Charles put a finger up.
"... Alright. You have my word."
"Thank you. Now come on."
As the two left, Cecilia was left on her own. She started to follow, but stopped short, looking at a picture that was of a smaller and happier her with Charlie and Lucifer. She looked saddened for a moment before shaking it off and following her brothers.
(Back at the hotel)
"Well, we have an hour before he gets here." Charlie says before cringing a bit. "With my brothers and sister."
"OKAY, PEOPLE!" Vaggie busted out the Sargent voice as everyone else, Pokemon included straightened up. "Lucifer is on his way. So we are gonna get this place presentable and we are all going to make an amazing impression! Vamonos!" She says before everyone runs off… Husk slowly following along.
Then Charlie gave the two a big hug. "Thank you! I thought I was gonna die." She then let them down before brushing her hair back. "So… that was my dad… my other brother and… my sister."
"Yeah, I heard… they uh… sound nice." Ash tells her.
"Thank you." She says with a smile before she notices herself. "Shit! I need to get ready! Uh, Ash, Vaggie, I need you two to help the others, I'll be down in a bit." She says before rushing for the stairs. "Love you!"
"Love you too." The two say back before she was gone.
"Welp, gonna bring some more Pokemon here?" Vaggie asked.
Ash took out his phone and thought for a moment. "Might have some in mind."
(Later)
Ash had brought out a few Pokemon for the task. Bulbasaur was able to help reach the more narrow spaces to help clean, Oshawott and Squirtle helped by using a bit of water to clean some surfaces… Niffty was in the oven, popping out with cookies… which shocked a few of the Pokemon, but she seemed fine.
Charizard was doing most of the heavy lifting, breaking out the table from Ash's bag, Krookodile grabbing the chairs, and Sceptile getting out the tablecloth before their trainer set the snacks on the table, getting a thumbs up from Vaggie.
Alastor entered the scene, seeing Razzle, Dazzle, and Heracross hanging up a banner saying 'welcum home, daddy' before Ash quickly called them down. He strangely looked on with disdain before continuing down.
When the banner was hung back up, Ash had tried to correct it to 'Welcome Home, Dad' instead, drawing an A over the U, adding an E, and trying to scribble out the last part of the last word. He just hoped no one would notice.
"Okay, everything is all set." Charlie says before looking at Ash. "Uh… Ash, can you…?" She says before pointing and gesturing to him.
"What?" He asked, puzzled.
"I just… my dad doesn't know you're human so-"
"Oh, right… right, uh… one second."
Ash stepped away before pulling out the mask. He looked at it for a moment, still remembering the last time he wore it and had barely worn it since. He looked back at Alastor who didn't seem to be focusing on him, more or less appearing unusually annoyed. It did surprise him because why would he be mad at this moment?
Whatever the reason, as he looked back at the mask, he turned it around. As much as he was still weary, he hoped that nothing would trigger what happened back then. So with a deep breath, he put it back on and assumed his disguise.
"Alright. Good to go." He says while giving the others a thumbs up as he gets back in place.
"Okay everyone, it's showtime!" Charlie then opened the door-
"CHARLIE!" Lucifer was there in an instant, ready to greet her.
"Hey, dad-OH!" She says before her dad brought her into a bone-crushing hug.
"Oh, it is so good to see you!" He says happily.
"It's… good to see you too, dad."
After Charlie was finally let go, Ash was able to get a good look at him, and… he looked nothing like he had expected. Sure he was probably expecting him not to look as scary, but… what he saw was nothing he was expecting at all.
"Hey, sis!" They then looked at the door, seeing the rest come in.
"Charles!" Charlie says before scooping the boy up into a hug and even doing a spin as they laugh. "Oh, you've gotten so much bigger since I last saw you." She then says while giving him a noogie.
"Liar. I've stopped changing my size." Charles says before they separate.
"Charlie. Good to see you again." Connor says while walking in.
"Connor!" She says while hugging him as well. "Good to see you again, too!" She separates from him and then looks at the last one. "Cecilia, it's so good to see you again." She says while holding her arms out for a hug.
The blonde stared at her for a moment… then walked into the hug before returning it. "Good to see you too, sis."
Now that all three of the siblings were in Ash got a good look at them. Cecilia appeared to be in a purple gown with an ascot cravat. Her hair was similar to her sister's but was shorter and braided while hanging over her shoulder and her irises were purple. She seemed closer to her sister's height.
Charles had an outfit with a purple sweater vest and bowtie over a white dress shirt and black dress pants. His eyes were also purple, however, he seemed to be the only one out of the others who had no rose-red cheeks and seemed to lack a nose. He was just barely shorter than Cecilia.
If you guys want a picture of the three, you can find it on the Wattpad and AO3 versions of this story.
Then Charlie cleared her throat. "Ahem. Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel." She then gestures to the welcome party set up as confetti was shot into the air.
"It's uh…" Cecilia started to say.
"Nice! It's really nice!" Charles says before the Cyclops cat rubs against Lucifer's legs
"Oh, hewwo, Keekee." The man says while crouching to pet her before the two little dragons fly over to him. "Razzle, Dazzle… Rootie toot toot." He says in a sing-song-tone while doing a small dance with them. "Look how much you haven't grown. Still funsized. You taking care of my whittle girl?" He says happily before- "You better be." Saying that in a demonic tone before immediately shifting back to giggling.
"Wow, he seems even nicer in person." Ash whispers to Pikachu.
"Wow, this place sure looks like uh…" Lucifer says while walking forward, stopping as Niffty holds out the tray of cookies. "Uh-huh, yeah… uh… uh-huh." He says while looking about, struggling not to come off mean. "It's got a lot of character-OOF!" He says before bumping into something. "Wha-OH! Holy mother of-!" he shouts upon seeing Charizard in front of him.
The dragon just awkwardly waved at him as he waved back. The rest of the Morningstars looked shocked.
"Right, uh, Dad, this is Charizard." Charlie says, referring to the Pokemon.
"You got a pet dragon?" Charles says in disbelief and amazement.
"First of all, he's not a pet." Ash cut in as he walked over to the dragon and put a hand on his shoulder. "Secondly, he's with me and he's my friend." He says while scratching his chin.
"Wow, that is amazing." Charles says again.
"Ditto." Connor also says.
"Uh-huh." Lucifer says before he feels something at his feet and looks down to see the small jackal sniffing him before he crouches to his level. "Oh, hey, little guy. What's your name?" He says as the Pokemon sniffed him.
"That's Riolu. He's a P… he's also with me." Ash tells him.
"Ah, I see." The man says before the Pokemon jumps up, making him jump to his feet before the jackal climbs up onto his shoulder. "Okay, uh…" He says before Riolu nuzzled against his cheek, making him laugh. "Hah, he's really friendly." He says while petting the jackal's head.
"Yeah, he's like that to a lot of people." The boy tells him that the princess is happy to see such.
"So, uh… you work here, right? No offense." Lucifer asks.
"That I do. It's to meet you, Mr. Morningstar. Uh…" Ash started to say before looking between everyone.
Connor was the tallest sibling, Charles was the shortest sibling, and Lucifer despite being the dad was… shorter than all of his kids. It was…
"It's my height isn't it." The man asks.
"No, no, it's not… that, uh… it's just…" The boy struggled to think of something. "Nice to meet the rest of Charlie's family. Including you."
"Heh, yeah, gotcha."
"So, hey, just gonna throw this out there…" Cecilia says as she walks up to the boy. "You're really cute."
That made him jump a bit while Charlie and Vaggie looked miffed. "Oh, well... my mom always said I was a cute kid." Ash says while scratching the back of his head.
"Oh, a momma's boy, huh?..." The woman says as she steps closer while putting a hand on his chest and taking his chin. "I'll be your mommy. ~" She then says seductively.
The other two girls then gawked. "Uh…" Ash blushed after she said that, understanding the tone. "I-I'm… actually-"
"TAKEN! He's taken!" Charlie says while getting between them.
"Yeah, he's not up for taking." Vaggie says while pulling him away.
Cecilia just looked unamused before rolling her eyes in annoyance.
"Right, uh…" Lucifer then chimes in. "Ya know, not to sound rude, but… ya know you can take the disguise off, right?"
"What do you mean disguise?" Ash asked, confused as Charlie looked nervous.
"I mean, you don't gotta-OH!" The man started before he noticed something that took away his attention entirely. "What in the unholy Hell is that!?" He says while gesturing to the bar with his staff.
"Just some of the renovations we had done." Alastor says as he appears by the table. "Adds a bit of color don't you think?"
"And you are…?" Lucifer asked.
"Alastor!" The demon says while appearing behind him and making him jump and turn around. "Pleasure to be meeting you, sir." He says while shaking the cane forcefully before wiping his hand on his suit. "Quite a pleasure. It's so nice to finally put a face to the name." He continued as the man looked annoyed while Riolu was glaring at the Radio Demon. "You are much shorter in real life."
"Who is this? Who is this now?" Lucifer says in annoyance. "Are you the bellhop?"
"HAHA! No! I am the host of the hotel. I'm sure you must've heard about me from my radio broadcast."
"Hmm… Nope! I guess that's why Charlie called it the 'Hazbin' Hotel. Hahaha." The man jokingly says.
"HAHAHA! It was actually my idea."
"HAHA! Well, it's not very clever."
"HAHA!... FUCK you." Alastor finishes as the two glared harshly.
"What the heck has gotten into Alastor?" Ash says in confusion.
"He's not… normally like this?" Charles asked.
"No."
"Okay! Okay!" Charlie says while separating the two. "Anyway… Dad!" She then drags him along. "Look at this lovely parlor, where people can get to know each other and share secrets and stories and intimate feelings!" She starts saying as her dad smiles at his daughter's enthusiasm. "Without Alastor-" The man's smile dropped instantly. "We wouldn't have been able to pretty it up this much."
"Charlie has a very unique vision." Alastor says as he walks up to the two. "I am happy to fulfill her bizarre requests." He then says while putting a hand on Charlie's shoulder.
"Oh, thank you, Alastor." She says while smiling.
Seeing that, both Lucifer and Riolu looked furious at Alastor.
"Quite an impressive young lady indeed. We're all very proud of her."
"Okay, I didn't like that guy before, I don't like him now." Connor whispers to Ash.
"Ahem! Charlie, dear-" Lucifer says before separating his daughter from Alastor. "Why don't you introduce me to your OTHER friends."
"Right, uh…" Charlie then went and dragged the one-eyed girl over. "This is Vaggie. She's my girlfriend." She introduces which makes Lucifer sputter for a second.
"Oh, ho, my golly! You like girls? So do I! We have so much in common! Put er' there, Maggie!" He then says before pulling her into a bone-crushing hug before letting her go as they awkwardly laugh. "She's so pretty."
"Lovely to meet you, sir." Vaggie says.
"And you already met, Ash here." Charlie says while bringing the boy over.
"Yeah, what was I saying…? Oh yeah, you can take off the disguise." Lucifer says.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Ash tried to laugh it off.
"No, no, seriously, it's been a while since I've met another human."
Record Scratch!*
"... W-what?"
"Yeah, it's just… I mean if you're afraid, it's perfectly fine."
Ash looked shocked before looking at Charlie and Vaggie who were more shocked than him. He then looked to the others for help, they didn't know how to help. He then looked back at the man, then dropped his shoulders.
"What gave it away?" He asked.
"Bud, I've been around humans before. Summoned by a few of them actually. Ones that worshiped me, wanted to sacrifice something. It's just…" Lucifer chuckled. "You really start to memorize their scent after a while."
"Wait, you're a human?" Charles asks. "Like… a real human."
"I…" Ash says before looking at Charlie and Vaggie who didn't know what to do, then to Pikachu who motioned to go along with it. "Oh geez." He says before looking back at the man, then removing the mask. "Alright. You got me."
Then the disguise started to dissipate right in front of everyone. Once his real form was revealed, the rest of the family was shocked. Connor less so since he already knew beforehand.
"Woah…" Charles says in amazement while blushing.
"How does he look hotter now?" Cecilia says to herself, also blushing.
"Well… this is me the human, uh…" Ash says before scratching the back of his head.
"Yeah, you uh… don't look half bad honestly." Lucifer says.
"Uh, Dad…" Charlie asks. "I thought you'd be freaking out by now."
"Why would I?"
"... You don't mind that he's human?"
"No, not really. I mean, I am curious as to… ya know how he's down here right now, but other than that, I don't have a problem with him."
She stared at him, he stared back, she stared at him, he stared back… then she dropped to her knees and let out a sharp exhale she didn't know she was holding in. The sinners and Pokemon in the back looked surprised, but relieved at the same time as Vaggie helped the princess up.
"Is it… is it that big of a deal?" Lucifer asked his son.
"Uh…" Charles says before shaking off his blush. "No, no. I don't… I don't think so."
"I gotta say though." Cecilia says while walking around, sizing him up. "I think I like you better like this. ~"
"Okay! Okay!" Connor says while pulling his sister away, making her pout. "I think he's had enough of you."
"Like you would know." She says before they glare at each other.
"Kids, no fighting." Lucifer tells them sternly.
Charles was behind him and was making the motion to tell them to stop. The two fixed their postures after that… Cecilia elbowed Connor before he did it back.
"Anyways, I do wanna know how you're down here though. C-could you uh… tell me how you did that?" Lucifer asks the boy.
"It's kind of a long story and can of worms that we could get into… maybe after we're done here." Ash says which the man seemed to accept as an answer. "I'm Ash Ketchum. Nice to meet you, sir." He says politely.
"Well, nice to meet you too, kiddo." Lucifer says politely back.
"Yeah, Ash here is also my boyfriend." Charlie then says.
Insert second record scratch*
"... What?" Lucifer says while still smiling.
"... He's… my boyfriend." Charlie says again… before looking around then dragging Vaggie in. "Well, technically he's 'our' boyfriend." She then says nervously.
Cecilia slowly shifted into the frame with a shocked and annoyed look. "... Ex-fucking-cuse me?"
The three now looked worried. "I-I… uh…" The princess starts to say before whispering to the two. "Was this bad timing?"
"I… think it's better we get it out now?" Vaggie says, unsure of herself.
"W-wait, I thought… you and Vanny were dating." Charles says, making the one-eyed woman smack her face.
"I-I am." Charlie explains.
"But… but you said you were… uh…" The brother says his brain was starting to shortcircuit.
"I know but it's like…" She tried to explain. "You see, I'm dating Vaggie, and Vaggie's dating Ash, and Ash is, dating me and…" She got lost in her words.
"How did I know that this would happen?" Husk says to himself.
"Okay, look we're all… we're all dating each other." Charlie explains.
"... Oh… Yeah, I… get it now." Lucifer says while laughing nervously.
"I don't think he gets it." Charles whispers to his older brother.
"You have got to be kidding me." Cecilia says in annoyance.
"Uh, put it there, Dash." Lucifer says while shaking his hand before gently pulling him into a hug, which the boy accepts. "You hurt my baby in any fucking way, God will not save you from WHAT I will do to you." He then whispers into his ear menacingly before letting him go and smiling. "Alright! And uh… how about the rest of your friends?"
Ash was a little frightened to be getting threatened by the king, but shook it off quickly.
"Of course. Uh… these are our guests, Sir Pentious and Angel Dust!" Charlie then says happily.
"YOU'RE MAJESTY!" Pentious screams before falling onto the cookies in an attempt to bow.
"Heya, Short King. ~" Angel says in a sleazy tone.
"Husk is our bartender and Niffty is our housekeeper." Charlie then says as the little gremlin disappears.
"Nice to meet you." Husk says.
"Hello!" Nifty says after climbing Lucifer and getting in his face before giggling maniacally. "I clean." She then giggles again.
"Alright, good to know. Good to know." Connor says while pulling her off and setting her down.
"Okay. So…" Lucifer then looked at the rest of the Pokemon. "W-what do… the rest of these guys do?"
"Uh, they're also with me." Ash says while gesturing to the Pokemon. "I called them down here to help with the hotel."
"Oh, so they're Earth creatures. Got it." Charles says. "Wow, the mortal realm has a lot more variety than I expected."
"Yeah, I… I don't remember seeing any of these the last time I went to Earth. Then again, it has been a while since I've been to Earth anyway." Lucifer says.
"I'll tell you about that some other time too." Ash says.
"Oh, okay, another one to 'talk about another time', huh? Gotcha."
Then Ash sensed something off before suddenly grabbing Lucifer and pulling him out of the way just as the chandelier crashed on the floor, causing dust to fly up. As everyone was done with their coughing fit and the dust settled, the boy sighed, knowing that he got both the man out of the way and saved Riolu from getting crushed.
"Goddamn, I thought we had that fixed." Angel says.
Then Lucifer simply laughed. "Alright, then."
(Inset Song Here: Hell's Greatest Dad)
After the song was over the woman who interrupted stood with her hands in the air... everyone staring.
"... Who?" Lucifer asks.
"Didn't ya just hear me?" She asks as she looks around. "Why is everyone gawking? Is it 'cause I'm adorable?"
"Not even close." Cecilia says with disgust.
"Wow, rude much?"
"MIMZY!" Alastor says as he walks forward.
"Alastor! Sweetie doll face so good to see you!" The woman then walks over and gives him a big hug. "Listen I was in the neighborhood. I heard you were staying at this ritzy slob factory, so I figured I'd stop by and say hi for old time's sake."
"Of course, Sweetheart. Everyone is welcome here."
"Oh, how nice!" Charlie says while walking over. "So you two know each other?"
"Oh yeah, we go way back. Ran into the same circles when we were alive." Mimzy says. "Ya know this one used to frequent the club where I used to perform. He's the only one I knew who could pound whisky like a sailor and keep up with me on the dance floor."
"Oh, quite a talent, this gal. You should've seen her in her heyday." Alastor says.
"Hey, watch it tall dark and creepy. I'm still in my prime."
"I think she's way past prime." Cecilia mutters.
"Can't agree more." Connor whispers.
"Oh…" Then Mimizy's eyes shifted to the king of Hell. "Oh, my stars! Is that Lucifer?" She asks before shoving Pentious. "Move it! Please to meet ya, Your Highness." She then bowed. "Alastor. You gotta warn a girl when she's in mixed company."
"Charmed I'm sure." Lucifer says.
"As much as I'd love to catch up, Charlie and I have a tour to continue." Alastor then says.
"I'm sure Charlie can handle showing me around-" Lucifer says while trying to push his daughter away.
"NONSENSE!" Alastor took her from him. "We started the hotel together and we shall show it off together. Right, Charlie?"
"You started the hotel together? Bitch, I was here before you!" Vaggie says.
"Why don't you let the others help you settle in?" Alastor says, ignoring the one-eyed woman. "I'll be back before you know it."
"Uh… right. Come on. Right this way." Charlie says while leading her father, siblings, Alastor, and Vaggie upstairs.
Riolu huffed in annoyance while climbing back on the man's shoulders. "Yeah, I know." Lucifer says in annoyance.
Ash started to follow as Pikachu jumped on his shoulder. "Anyone else wanna come with?" He asked, but the Pokemon just shook their heads. "Okay, suit yourselves."
He then went along with the others, steering clear of Alastor as he followed. Mimzy looked at the bar.
"So, where can a girl get a drink around here?"
TaiKetch'em: -I'm serious! Fuck Charlastor! That ship is stupid as hell-!
AshFan: Dude, dude! The camera is on us!
TK: What camera? This is a story, not a video.
AF: Well it just cut to us.
TK: … It did?
AF: YES!
TK: … Hey y'all, I didn't mean that. I was just playing.
AF: Yeah, keep those opinions to yourself. Okay, uh… crap I forgot what I was supposed to say.
TK: Wait, weren't you gonna include the part about Mimzy explaining about Alastor?
AF: Uh, no. Cause it'd make the chapter take ages to get out.
TK: … Won't these cuts just make it longer-
AF: Hello, Miss Circle-?
TK: OKAY! OKAY! You made your point!
(Later in the halls)
"So, once we have proof that redemption is possible, this whole hotel will be full of demons wanting to check out into Heaven." Charlie goes on and on.
Ash was following along, getting another tour of the building again. He looked at Lucifer who looked like he was trying his best to stay positive… but looked constipated. Connor kept his posture and demeanor. Charles was smiling more enthusiastically. Cecilia looked bored and the most uninterested of the bunch.
It kinda intrigued the boy how different the family members were. Although, it did make him a little uneasy how Riolu kept glancing back at Alastor every few seconds. It wasn't anything new. For the past four months, Riolu always appeared angry and steered clear of the Radio Demon. That made him wonder just what the little jackal was thinking and why he was acting like that in the first place.
As they were turning the corner, he stopped when he realized Alastor wasn't with them anymore. He looked back and Husk talking to the Radio Demon about something.
"That bitch is trouble. And who knows which demon she fucked with to come running back to you?" He heard the cat saying.
"Ash, you coming?" Charlie called.
"Uh, yeah." Ash tells her.
"You don't have to worry Husker. Who in their right mind would cross me?" He heard Alastor say before he left.
The only 'her' he could think that Husk was talking about was Mimzy. He didn't have any suspicions at first, but if Husk was saying she was trouble, well… he might have to keep an eye out for anything she did.
(Later)
"And we've been able to find almost all of Angel's drug stashes." Vaggie says as they walk onto the balcony. "Almost."
"So once that's out of the way, it should be much smoother sailing." Charlie says as they go over to the railing.
"Well, that certainly is, uh… is-is something." Lucifer says before Riolu starts sniffing the air. "What's up, boy?"
The jackal then hopped off the man's shoulder and scurried to the railing, then reached over and under it. He then pulled back a small ziplock filled with… substances.
"Oh, you gotta be kidding me. Here of all places?" Vaggie says in annoyance.
"Don't be negative. Don't be negative." Connor mutters to himself.
"Sorry, you had to see that. Riolu's been a big help finding the stashes for the past few months." Ash says.
"That, he was." Charlie says as the jackal runs up and she picks him up. "Being a big help, making his mama proud. Yes, you are. ~" She says while tickling the little Pokemon.
"Mama?" Cecilia asked with a raised brow.
"That's right. My little sweet Riolu wants to help his mama out."
That made Lucifer glance at the boy. He was quick to get the picture, especially after what he was told earlier. Ash didn't feel uneasy, but he did feel a little embarrassed.
"Anyways, Dad." Charlie says as she sets the jackal down. "What do you think?"
"Uh, what?" Lucifer asks, lost.
"The hotel?"
"Oh, yes, it does… it does look much better now, doesn't it." He says before focusing on the railing. "Ya know I think this railing needs more work. One good push and you'd just go right over the edge. Whoopie, bye-bye"
"Hehe, I get that." She blushed before looking at Ash, remembering when he was first brought up there before she remembers. "Wait, NO! The plan, Dad! What do you think about using the hotel to help redeem sinners?" She asked outright.
"Ahh…" Lucifer says before taking a deep breath.
"Oh boy. Here comes the bad news." Connor says as his brother tensed up.
"Look, I love that you want to see the best in people, but these… sinners. You know, they're just the worst. I don't know how much you can realistically expect from them in Heaven." The man then let out a nervous laugh. "Hohoo, boy, Heaven… is not exactly as carefree as you might think. They have rules. Lots, of rules, and they aren't very open-minded as you hoped."
'Oh man, why does he have to be right?' Ash thinks.
"These are our people, Dad. I… I have to try." Charlie says.
"Our 'people', Charlie, are AWFUL! They got gifted free will and look what they did with it! Everything is terrible!" Lucifer says before wheezing for a second. "I just… don't want you to put yourself on the line for people like-" He was cut off by a banging noise and the hotel shaking. "Well, people like that."
"Wha-?" Ash started to say as he went over to look.
"MIMZY! We know you're in there you lousy bitch!" A shark demon called out as a group of them were holding up a battering ram and slamming it into the hotel.
"And here comes the show." Lucifer says as he opens a portal downstairs and everyone goes through.
"Que carajo!?" Vaggie says in Spanish.
"What is going on!?" Charlie asks in a panic.
"I maaay be in trouble with some loan sharks I may or may have not borrowed fifty grand from-EEP!" Mimzy says before running behind the bar. "And I may have stolen a car…" Everyone glared at her. "And crashed it… into the loan shark's girlfriend-BUT THAT BITCH HAD IT COMING!"
Then fire started getting blasted into the hotel. "MY WINDOWS!" Niffty called in dismay.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Ash says as he sees the destruction.
"AH! We're under siege! Take cover!" Pentious shouts as more explosions start happening around the hotel.
"See, this is exactly what I mean, Charlie. You invite people in and try to do something nice and they just bring in violence and chaos." Lucifer tells her. "It does not matter how nice you are, they will always disappoint-"
"Sir, with all due respect, can you SHUT UP!" Ash yelled with his eyes turning blue for a second which shocked a few people in the room.
"Damn! Even he's pissed." Angel says.
The boy quickly shook his head his eyes going back to normal. "Everyone get to safety. Guys!" He then called, getting his Pokemon's attention. "Go and take care of them."
The Pokemon all nodded and ran out the door, Charizard taking the lead by flying. Pikachu and Riolu stood by though.
"Okay, I can see the dragon doing something, but how are the little-" Cecilia started to say before getting cut off by screaming from outside.
"WHAT ARE THESE THINGS!?" They heard as they all ran to check what it was.
What they saw was something chaotic, to say the least. Bulbasaur was using his Vine Whip to slam a few of the sharks back and forth before tossing them up as Sceptile hit them with a Leaf Tornado. One Shark was suddenly yanked underground just before Gible popped up next to him… Krookodile stood over him with a glowing claw, no need to see what happened next.
A few of them were being blown away by Oshawott and Squirtle's Hydro Pump, and finally, one was trying to shoot Charizard, but all the bullets bounced off the dragon's skin before he blasted him with a Flamethrower.
"Not what I was expecting, but still, YEAH!" Mimzy cheered.
"Why are they so much more violent than normal?" Vaggie says as blood splatters almost reaching them.
"Yeah, they've stopped holding their punches down here after Charizard was mind-controlled." Ash says with guilt.
"I mean, can't argue with results, am I right?" Alastor laughs.
"We need backup right now!" One of the sharks called through a phone before biting the dust next.
"I believe that's my cue." Alastor says with a sinister look before he starts to grow as more cars show up. "A reminder to all, not to mess with the Radio Demon!" Just as the sharks got out of the car he started mauling them and ripping them apart while devouring some.
"Ya see, what'd I tell you, Charlie?" Lucifer starts again. "Sinners are violent psychopaths, hell-bent on causing as much pain and destruction as they can. There's really no point in trying."
"Dad, stop!" Charlie says, having enough. "They're defending this hotel! It may be a bit more gorey than I'd hoped, but they're doing it for me!" Her voice nearly cracked before she turned away with her arms crossed. "How come they can have faith in me, but my own father can't?" She then says which causes the man's face to drop.
"Ooh, more drama." Angel says while pulling out the popcorn.
Then the screams finally stopped, and Ash went outside to see the damage. All the bodies were cleaned up by Alasor, but the blood was still left behind as the Pokemon seemed proud of their victory.
"Oh, I missed getting to let off steam." Alastor says as he turns back to normal.
"Oh, man." The boy says before his Pokemon go up to him, realizing he wasn't impressed. "I'm glad you guys helped, but I think you should…" He started to say, but couldn't find the words, making his Pokemon feel less proud of what they did.
"Oh, bravo! What a fantastic show. Thank you all for helping lil' old me outta a tight spot." Mimzy says while walking up to them before a piece of the hotel crashes down. "Oops." She then says as the boy inhaled while his blood started to boil. "Hehehe, sorry about the mess, but I'm sure y'all can-"
"Okay! That is it!" Ash shouted in anger, frightening the woman before glaring at her. "I have already had it up to HERE with you!"
"Woah, calm down-"
"I WASN'T FINISHED!" He shouted as his eyes went blue again, scaring her further, even his Pokemon looked scared. "You have been here for less than fifteen minutes and you caused so much damage because of the crap you pulled with these demons!"
"Damn. I thought Charlie would be the one getting that pissed." Connor says, shocked.
"Relax, it wasn't my fault-" Mimzy started to defend herself.
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! Cause all of this WAS your fault! You're the whole reason this SHHHHHH… Crap happened in the first place, and you allowed it ON PURPOSE! So GO!" Ash shouted while pointing away.
"I-"
"GO!"
"Can't I-"
"NO! YOU CAN'T! JUST GO!"
"Oh, come on! Alastor, back me up doll." Mimzy then says smugly.
"I think you should listen to him and go Mimzy." Alastor tells her.
"Oh, pff, Alastor, you're such a kidder you!"
"I mean it. You deliberately brought danger to this place just to have me and the boy here clean up your mess. I can't have that here."
"But you love takin' care a' me!" Mimzy says, trying to act all cutesy. "What? You don't actually give a shit about this tacky place. Come on. I know you. You, no good, heartless son of a bitch."
"You are welcome if you want to give redemption a shot. But I think we both know that isn't your style." Alastor says while booping her on the nose before walking up to the human. "So you need to leave, preferably before you make my little friend here more angry than normal."
"FRIEND! I… FINE! Who needs ya!?"
"Apparently, you did." Ash in an annoyed tone.
"Oh fuck off! Have fun with ya lil' princess and-" Mimzy started to say before the boy's glare started to become deadly. "ALRIGHT! I'm going!" She yelled before stomping off to who knows where.
"Damn, when's the last time he got that pissed?" Angel asks while eating popcorn.
"Not to the point where he screams like that." Husk says before taking some as well. "I think that's the closest he's ever come to swearing."
"He doesn't swear?" Charles asked.
After the woman was gone, Ash's eyes turned back to normal before he groaned while shaking his head. He saw how his Pokemon were looking frightened at him and sighed.
"Sorry, I didn't… mean to get that angry." He says.
Charlie and Vaggie were more shocked than ever but were taken away by how they saw their boyfriend act when King walked past them. Ash quickly ran over to make sure things were alright.
"Dad, please, just… help me." Charlie begged him.
"I… I can't." Lucifer tells her.
"Why can't you?"
"CHARLIE!" The man says while grabbing her by the shoulders. "You don't understand. Heaven never listens!" He pulled away. "They didn't listen to me. They won't listen to you."
"You don't know that!"
"I DO!"
(Insert Song Here: More than anything)
TK: Oh come on, can we please do that one at least?
AF: No, cause I have no way to include Ash in this song.
TK: I just… I love this song.
AF: I do too, which is why I'm not gonna butcher it by any means.
TK: I'm sure we can think of something.
AF: …
TK: Yeah, good point.
After the song, Vaggie was smiling proudly before she looked to her side. Ash stood beside her, having silently watched what happened as tears were running down his face. She didn't say anything and put an arm around him before he pulled her into a hug and she patted his head, a stark contrast to how he was acting earlier.
"Aww, that was sweet." Pentious says happily.
Charles lightly elbowed Connor while smiling at him as the older Morningstar smiled back. However, Cecilia didn't smile, only looking away while saddened.
"Okay…" Lucifer says as he lets go of Charlie. "I can get you a meeting but once you're in Heaven, I won't be able to come with you. Will you be okay?"
"I'll be fine." She says back.
"That's my girl." He says with a smile before sighing and then looking over to the others. "Hey, Dash, Maggie!" The two looked surprised when he called them out, especially with the wrong names again. "Take care of my little girl, okay?"
Ash took a second, but he wiped his face before smiling as he tipped his hat. "Will do, sir."
"Okay." The man nodded before looking back at his daughter. "Good luck, kiddo." He then disappeared in a cloud of magic.
(Sometime later)
So after the debacle, the others and the Pokemon were just getting done fixing whatever was destroyed in the lobby. Our attention is brought upstairs where the boy is talking to the Morningstar siblings.
"Sorry things got a little hectic today. Wasn't planning on this being your first impression." Charlie tells them.
"Don't be. It wasn't your fault some bitch decided to fuck everything up like that." Connor says.
"Hopefully she doesn't come back." Vaggie says.
"I hope so too." Ash says which made his girlfriends and Pokemon look at him in surprise. "What?"
"I mean, it was crazy, yeah, but it was nice to see our big sister again. And to see Dad happy… and of course to meet you two." Charles says.
"It was nice to see you as well." Ash says.
"Ya know, I was kinda looking for a hobby, and ya know, seeing what those Earth creatures did just now, I… I think I might be a little more interested in seeing what other creatures are up on Earth." He says as the three look nervous. "Really, if those guys are this powerful, I wanna see what others might be like."
"Uh, maybe we can talk that some other time." Vaggie says with a slight winch.
"Yes, I think we should be on our way to make sure Papa's alright." Cecilia says.
"Yeah, sorry. We're kinda overstaying our welcome. See ya around, guys." Connor says as he starts to turn around.
"Wait. Want a snack for the road." Ash says before he took out a plate of churros.
"..." The tall Morningstar's eyes went wide before looking back and forth between them. "You remembered?"
"Yeah. Been a few months and I didn't have time to make them earlier, so I hope you'll like these."
Connor stared again before nodding before gently taking the plate. "Thank you. You are awesome."
"Alright… it was good to see you again, Charlie." Charles says before hugging her.
The taller Morningstar joined in the hug. The younger motioned for the last to join to which she just sighed before joining in the hug as well.
"It was great to see you guys too." Charlie says before pulling away. "Please, take care of dad."
"We will, don't worry." Charles says.
"And also, maybe call once in a while. Better yet, 'visit' us. Seriously." Connor tells her as she laughs.
"I'll keep that in mind. Have a safe trip."
"See ya, sis." Charles then says as the three siblings then took their leave.
Once they were gone, the three entered their room. The Pokemon and Keekee got on the bed, ready to crash out for the night.
"So, that was my family. What did you think?" Charlie asked.
"They were really nice. Especially your dad… ya know I can kinda see where you get your personality from. ~" He then says teasingly before she playfully shoves him, then he realizes. "Oh shoot, I forgot to tell him I'm not Earth."
"It's okay, we can tell him next time we see him." Vaggie tells him.
"Right, uh… I wasn't expecting him to take it so lightly that I'm human or… that we're dating."
"I was surprised too. Honestly, though, I'm glad we got through that part quickly." Charlie says.
"Right…" He then says before looking at the princess. "Hey, are… you gonna be okay?"
"Are you gonna be okay? You got really angry today. I've seen you yell at anyone like that before."
"Yeah, are you sure you're all right?" Vaggie asked as they looked at him with concern.
Ash opened his mouth to say something but stopped before thinking of what to say. Pikachu, Riolu, and Keekee decided to stay out of this.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just… man, was I that angry?" He asked.
"No offense, but I think a city block amount of people heard how angry you were from Pentagram City." Vaggie tells him.
"Yeah, after seeing the hotel get destroyed and hearing that stupid woman act condescending like that it just… I…"
"Hey, hey, it's okay." Charlie says while putting a hand on his shoulder. "We don't blame you. Stuff like this just happens. It's probably not gonna be the last time, anyway."
"I know. I was able to keep my aura in control this time. Still need to do some training though. Hopefully, I don't lose it again."
"You won't. We're gonna get through this." Charlie tells him.
"I hope so."
"Right." Vaggie then scratches the back of her head. "This next part is going to be scary. You ready?"
"I'm ready." She says before pulling the two in for a hug. "Cause you'll both be with me."
Vaggie's one eye widened. "In spirit, right?"
"In Heaven!" Charlie says with determination.
"... Yay."
To be continued…
AF: Okay, we're done now.
TK: Alright, now as I was saying, Charlastor is a shitty-
AF: DUDE! We're still in the story!
TK: Dammit, uh… just kidding again.
AF: Look, rant to me after we know we're done here and where people can't see it.
TK: Right, sorry.
AF: Okay… thank you guys for reading, uh… I really don't know what to say. You threw me off again, man.
TK: Sorry.
AF: Alright, uh… umm… okay, so the next chapter… you asked to work on it, right?
TK: Most of it, yeah.
AF: Okay. So… hope you enjoyed the chapter. There's gonna be another OC in the next one, and we are getting closer to finishing the series. It's been a long journey, and we are thankful that you guys could stick with us for it.
TK: And also, one more question. Do you guys prefer the chapters to be long or short? Cause we don't know how long you guys prefer us to go.
AF: I mean, I prefer to go short, but… I feel like each chapter is getting longer than the last. But ya know, that's a personal gripe. What do you guys think?
TK: With that, stay tuned for the next chapter.
