Arrival of the Radio Demon Overlord
"Are you sure you're not hurt too badly, Sir Pentious?" Emily asked while checking on the snake Sinner.
"Do not worry, Emily. I was able to escape at the last second with the help of my smoke bomb and the Egg Boiz keeping them distracted." Pentious assured her that he is okay.
"That's one good thing that happened." Velvette sighed.
The three are inside the limo on their way back to the hotel after the big fight on the streets and inside News 666 studio, but it felt like a bitter taste of a small victory because everyone still laughed at them for Emily's redeeming hotel idea and Pentious actually giving this a try.
Emily sat on her seat and look out the window seeing her beloved Hell city with so many Sinners going about their usually business, doing lots of bad shit like stealing and other things.
She had really hope that she would be able to get through to her subjects about trying to save them from Extermination Day, to show them a better way to save themselves from being killed and their souls being erase by the Exorcist's Angelic weapons.
But it would appear that today was not her lucky day as she felt a big defeat from with the announcement and having to fight off Katie Killjoy in front of everyone.
"Love, I know this is fuck up, but I'm sure we'll be able to turn this around." Velvette placed a hand on hers.
"I hope so, I'm putting all I got into this project." Emily said.
"Do not worry, my princess. I shall help you find a way for me to be redeem and earn my way up to Heaven if it's the last thing I do!" Pentious promised strongly. This made Emily happy.
"Huh, not to sound like I'm getting into your business, but how… Uh, has the Vees taken this?" Pentious asked Velvette.
"What do you think?" Velvette asked back with an angry glare.
"Oh, it's that bad." Pentious feared.
"So, that means…" Emily knew what was coming, but she wanted to hear this from Velvette.
"Yep, I've been cut off from the Vees. From now on, I'm going on solo while Vox and Valentino continue to go about their own business." Velvette declared.
"I'm so sorry, Velvette. Because of me, you lost your Overlord status and got nothing now." Emily apologized, feeling really bad for dragging her girlfriend through the mud.
"Hey, hey, hey, no sad face on that cute face of yours." Velvette grabbed her face.
"Normally, I would be fuck up and complaining shit that those two fuckers would kick me out after everything I've done for them and everything we did together. I would even curse them in Lucifer's name and want them dead more times until Extermination Day then take everything they had!" Velvette expressed how the old Velvette would do.
"But no, I'm not upset about being cut off from those fuckers because now I can fully focus on you and helping achieve your dream." Velvette softly pressed her forehead on Emily's.
"Oh, you're so sweet." Emily hugged her.
"Besides, just because I'm no longer with the Vees doesn't mean I lost my Overlord status. I'm still the #Bitch! Of Pentagram city and the one with the most style!" Velvette smirked as she sat on Emily's lap with a pose.
"And the smile that made me fall for you." Emily giggled.
"But I have a feeling that keeping your Overlord status is on the downlow than you're letting on." Emily figured.
"Yeah, while I was able to keep my Overlord status and most of my stuff, I nearly lost all of the souls I owned leaving me with only 9 souls, and surprisingly even one from Valentino." Velvette confessed.
"In other words, things are still fucked up for us." Pentious worried.
"Maybe so, but we still have to keep our hopes up and try our best." Emily said, putting up a brave face.
The limo arrives at the Happy Hotel which is a big old building that belonged to her father long ago and now she's the owner, they walk inside to see the inside of the hotel being an old-looking with the design though clean with ten demon women working on the lobby.
"We're back!" Velvette shouted, getting those workers' attention to zoom on over to them.
"Welcome back." The ten demon girls greeted.
"Hi girls, I hope you weren't uncomfortable being in this old place." Emily said nicely.
"Nah, it's okay. Still standing strong and all, but the rest could use a little work." A purple hound Sinner woman shrugged.
"Well, we're gonna rest on the couch for a while, you all do whatever the fuck you want until we call for you." Velvette ordered.
"I do hope Angel Dust thinks about the offer I left for him." Pentious mentioned the porn star.
"You really tried to give him a chance to be redeem when we're still trying to figure you out?" Velvette asked in surprise.
"It wouldn't hurt to try; I can still that Angel Dust really wants to get away from Valentino really badly." Pentious shrugged as he sat on the couch.
"No shit, that boss is the worse and that's saying a lot in Hell." The purple hound lady said while passing them a cup of water each.
"Thank you." Emily thanked and a little cat demon jumps on her lap.
"Hi KeeKee, I hope you had a better day than I did." Emily petted the little cat demon.
KeeKee is a small, mouthless demon-cat with a singular eye that sports a red iris with a yellow sclera. Her fur is rather scruffy, and mostly colored black with with white patches and a red outline. She has a white heart-shaped face, half of a white heart-shaped mark on both of her ears, white front paws, and white on the tip of her tail. She wears a red collar around her neck, with a circular gold tag hanging off of the front.
Emily looks at her phone and surprise to see that she got a text message from her dad.
"I'll be outside for a bit." Emily walked away for privacy outside.
"Miss Velvette, should we have these bedsheets change into a brighter color?" Melissa asked, showing her the bed sheet.
Emily is outside of the front door and looks at the text message.
Ducky Dad: Saw your announcement, good in being a little tough on them and surprise that you have a Sinner willingly on board with the shitty idea of yours. But don't get your hopes up that it'll actually work. Still, it was cool on how you show that newswoman who's boss.
Emily felt sad that her father still thinks that her idea to redeem Sinners is still a stupid idea and that she should just give up, but she wouldn't give up that easily.
So, she decided to make a call to her mom.
The phone rings for a while until it deeps meaning she went into voice mail, which is nothing new to her.
"Hi mom, hope I'm not calling you at a bad time, but I just wanted you to know that I've gone through the interview though it didn't exactly go well. And I had to fight the mean newswoman which only seems to make things worse for what I was trying to say, but don't worry, I promise I won't give up!" Emily said with a smile, but then went sad.
"But I fear that we may not get the result soon as we want, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to really redeem a soul even with Pentious willingly wanting to help me. Maybe dad was right about this being an idiotic dream." Emily sobbed a bit.
"Sorry, guess I was caught up in dad's words. I'm still going to march forward to our dream, to making Hell a wonderful place!" Emily was determined, remembering what she's doing all of this for.
"Okay, I'm gonna hang up now. Don't want to waste any more of your time. Bye, call me." Emily said before hanging up.
Emily took in a deep breath, knowing that even when things are looking bad and probably even worse from here, she's gonna try to do her best as she goes back inside.
"Now, what shall we do?" Emily asked.
Suddenly a door was knocked from the outside causing her to jump a little and turns to the door, she didn't expect any visitors to come today, but maybe it's a Sinner who wants to join in the redemption.
But when she opens the door, her eyes widen in both shock and fear at the same time when she saw what demon has come to her front door.
"Hel—" Emily suddenly shut the door, taking a little moment before opening it again to see the dangerous the dangerous red demon is still there.
"-lo!" Emily slammed the door again.
"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!" Emily started to panic.
"Velvette!" Emily called out worrying.
"Fuck… What is it, Em? I'm trying to rest up." Velvette groaned.
"Not to freak everybody out, but… the Radio Demon is right outside. At the door!" Emily informed with a panicking smile.
"The fucking what demon?!" Velvette gasped.
"The Radio Demon?!" Pentious shouted in fear and hide inside between the cushions.
"The Radio Demon?!" The other ten demons were feared.
"Are you absolutely sure it was him?" Velvette asked.
"Yes, it was him!" Emily nodded.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, this is bad! If he's here then it's probably he wants, but what?" Velvette paced around.
"Emily, don't let him in until we think of a plan." Velvette said.
"But… it would be rude to leave him out there." Emily exclaimed as she reaches for the door.
"Emily, no!" Velvette begged her girlfriend not to open the door.
But Emily ends up opening the door for the Radio Demon.
"May I speak now?"The Radio Demon asked.
The Radio Demon is a slim, dapper sinner demon with beige-colored skin, and usually has a broad smile full of sharp, yellow teeth. His height is approximately 7 feet. He wears a pinkish-red cropped, angled bob-cut with black tips at the ends and two large, black tipped tufts of hair extending from the top of his head, evoking the ears of a deer. The style has an undercut at the back, and two small black antlers protruding from the crown. The Radio Demon's eyes have dark-red sclera, bright-red irises and thin black pupils. His forearms and lower legs fade to dark grey, and he has red hoofed toes and red fingers. The Radio Demon wears a red pinstripe coat with dark-red lapels piped with white, which is ragged along the bottom hem. Underneath this he wears a bright red dress-shirt with a black cross on the chest, and long black dress pants with matching bright red cuffs. He also wears a dark-red oval-shaped monocle, rimmed with black, over his right eye. He accessorizes with a black knotted bowtie with a bright red center, black gloves with red at the fingertips, and black pointed-toe boots with red deer hoofprints emblazoned on the soles. The Radio Demon also carries a thin cane with a sentient vintage style microphone attached to it, which he uses to play sound effects and broadcast his voice.
"You may." Emily said, trying to act a little brave.
"Alastor! Pleasure to be meeting you, sweetheart! Quite a pleasure!"Alastor grabbed Emily's hand and walked inside past him.
"Excuse my sudden visit, but I saw your fiasco on a picture show, and I just couldn't resist! What a performance! Why, I haven't been that entertained since the stock market crash of 1929! Hahahahaha, sooo many orphans..."Alastor laughed.
"Hold the fucking second, Alastor!" Velvette growled as she points her fingernails changing into very sharp claws.
"I don't know what you're here for, but you better not do anything to hurt Emily or else I'm gonna fuck your stupid smile up your fucking eyes!" Velvette threatened, hoping to get him leave.
"Dear, if I wanted to hurt anyone here... I would've done so already..."Alastor warned while turning halfway into his full demon form with everything around him becoming distorted like a TV screen glitching in a very dark and creepy way.
"He's still shit scary even being gone after seven years." Pentious gulped.
"No! I'm here because I want to help!"Alastor said.
This caught both lovers and Pentious completely off guard from what Alastor just said that he wants to help them, something that he would never do unless it's something in it for him.
"Uh, could you repeat that please?" Emily asked.
"Help! Hahaha, hello? Is this thing on? Testing, testing!"Alastor tapped on the mic of his cane, and it spoke with its one eye open. "Well, I heard you loud and clear!"
"And you're here to help us with…" Emily paused, wanting to see if he is here for the hotel.
"This ridiculous thing you're trying to do! This hotel! I want to help you run it." Alastor answered.
"And why in fucking Hell would you want help with running a redemption hotel?" Velvette asked raising an eyebrow.
"Hahaha, why does anyone do anything? Sheer, absolute boredom! I've lacked inspiration for decades. My work became mundane, lacking focus, aimless! I've come to crave a new form of entertainment! Hahaha!"Alastor explained as he laughs and shoves one of Velvette's workers away.
"So, entertainment for you is me fighting a newswoman?" Emily asked shrug.
"Hahaha! It's the purest kind, my dear: Reality! True passion! After all, the world is a stage, and the stage is a world of entertainment."Alastor grinned.
"Then deep down, you must have a belief that there is a way for a Sinner to get redeemed!" Emily smiled with joy.
"3… 2… 1." Velvette counted down, and cue Alastor laughing insanely at Emily.
"Of course not! That's wacky nonsense! Oh, the non-existent humanity!" Alastor chuckled as he finished laughing.
"No, no, no, no. I don't think there's anything left that could save such loathsome sinners! The chance given was the life they lived before; the punishment is this! There is no undoing what is done!" Alastor gestured to the window showing the Hell city they live in and to the Sinners here.
Velvette just gave him a flip while the rest, including Sir Pentious just look away, not wanting to look at Alastor in the eyes.
"Then why bother to come here and fuck the laughing in her face?" Velvette asked glaring at him.
"Consider it an investment in ongoing entertainment for myself! I want to watch the scum of the world struggle to climb up the hill of betterment only to repeatedly trip and tumble down to the fiery pit of failure!"Alastor explained with a dark grin with a hand on Emily's shoulder.
"Oh, that's huh… very deep of you." Emily commented exclaiming as she removes the hand from her shoulder with one of her wings.
"Yes, indeedy! I see big things coming your way and who better to help you than I?" Alastor said.
"Okay, I think I heard enough of your bullshit, strawberry man. Just do you know; she already has an Overlord working on making this hotel a big success and show those fuckers what's for!" Velvette stated strongly with a grin.
"My, I have heard some fancy about the princess being entangled with an Overlord, but never in my wildest dream that it would be the Overlord who has now become the lowest and weakest since being kicked out by her own group!" Alastor chuckled with an evil grin.
This causes Velvette's eyes to widen in shock to hear that Alastor has already knows about her Overlord status being low right now.
"How the fuck do you know?" Velvette asked.
"I maybe a man who only works with the classic such as radios and telephones, but I do have good ears to listen some fellows who always talk about the things that happens ever five minutes or so." Alastor said.
"Fuck the speed of gossip!" Velvette cursed of how fast words can spread like wildfire, then she pulls Emily away to have a private talk with her.
"Do you think he'll notice me?" Pentious asked Keekee.
But then Alastor turned his head in the direction at Pentious who is still hiding in the couch, the eyes contact causes Pentious to scream in shock that he jumps out of the couch and fell face-first on the floor.
"I get the feeling this is going to be a fucking mess." The purple hound lady sighed.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Just when things were about to get some peace and quiet from the day Emily had and Velvette being kicked out of the Vees, but at least she gets to keep her status as an Overlord. However, none of that would matter now that Alastor has entered the picture offering to "Help" run the hotel for his own amusement.
