Okay guys, let me remind you all that I've got other stories to work on and I can tell you guys are getting impatient as of late. If any of you or random guests ask me to update again, I'm discontinuing this story and y'all are getting a fat lumps of coal in your stocking this year. And there will be no 'ifs' or buts' about it! I don't like it when someone ask me to 'update soon' or whatever bullshit you're telling me when I was fucking busy on other chapters in different stories, it's a royal pain in the ass! So, don't ever ask me to update again!
I don't own the series of Helluva Boss or the series of Hazbin Hotel.

The scene opens with the view of Andrealphus' Mansion, then cuts to the tea being poured by an imp butler. Andrealphus picks up the cup of tea and sips.
"Hmm. You seem in good spirits today." Andrealphus said, raising his eyebrow in curiosity.
The imp butler serves Stella another cup of tea as she looks at her make-up contact.
"Oh yes!" Stella replied happily, closes her make-up contact and puts it down on the table. "Stolas and I were slowly making amends after he breaks up with that little imp cretin he was seeing!"
"Oh?" Andrealphus inquires, smirking.
"Yes, I believe finally learnt that filthy little beast was only using him to gain access to his grimoire, but after that, Stolas give him the Asmodean Crystal for him to gain access to the human world in exchange for his book." Stella explains, but Andrealphus suddenly reacts to her mention about Blitzo using the grimoire while she cackles. "That fucking moronic imp!"
Andrealphus was so shocked, he ends up giving a spit-take, freezing the imp butler in a block of ice. He coughs.
"Gain-Gain access to...to his what?" Andrealphus asks with a cough.
"That fancy book thing." Stella told him simply.
"D-D-N-No, wait, wait, wait, wait!" Andrealphus said, wanted for answers from his sister since he's never being told about it. "Stolas was letting an imp use his Goetia-given grimoire, and you didn't tell me?!"
"Why do you care?" Stella questions, turning to him.
"Because! We have been trying to figure out a means to usurp your horny ex-husbands power, but you're having second thoughts by reconcile with him while slowly spending time with him and my niece!" Andrealphus snapped as the room starts to get frozen because of his anger. "And this whole time, you knew about incredibly illegal thing he was doing, and you didn't think it might be a good idea to LET ME KNOW?!"
"WELL, DON'T YELL AT ME!?" Stella yelled back as she sits back down and takes another sip of her tea. She then glances at her brother. "Now you fucking know."
"You...are...so lucky you are hot, Stella." Andrealphus scoffs, gets off the table and about to leave when Stella grabs hold of him.
"Don't get Antauri involved in your own ideas! And if anything happens to him, I will personally find you and pluck your feathers, I'll turn you into an oversized pillow and have your fucking head as a trophy! Do you understand?!" Stella snarled with a warning as her eyes glowed.
Andrealphus gulps with fear, reading the message loud and clear since his sister has taken quite a liking to the white hellhound pup as he quickly leaves. Stella watches her brother leaves, she continues drinking while the imp butler is still frozen, slowly sliding on the now ice frozen floor.
The scene cuts to the I.M.P. HQ where in Blitzo's office, interviewing four potential employees. Apparently, Blitzo was able to sell every taxidermy and collectible horse plates in order to get the money back while they still continued on doing their job, but both Keenie and Collin given him an earful for being carelessly spending the finances. As if it isn't enough for him, he's squeezing a stress toy that resembles Moxxie before facing the demons.
"So, the four of you aaare...Remind me again?" Blitzo questioned, not in the mood for the interview.
"We're interns, sir! We're looking for cool businesses to work for."
The intern hands over Blitzo a poorly made resume, but he can't hire anyone for the time being due to their near bankruptcy and getting money back. He takes the resume and crushes it before throwing the paper away.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what interns are, I'm not an idiot okay?" Blitzo retorted. "But I can't really afford new employees, and I just got the finances back at the moment."
Beneath his desk, Blitzo slowly laces his finger to a call button to have one of his coworkers kick the interns out.
"Oh, interns work for experience, sir?"
"Come again?" Blitzo inquires, paused.
"Experience!"
"Ohh, you mean for free." Blitzo said with a smirk.
"Experience?"
"Well, I can't argue with free kiddo, you're hired!" Blitzo accepts happily the imp interns and shakes his hand when Moxxie barged right in with urgency in his face.
"Sir! You need to see this!" Moxxie told him.
"COME OUT! WE'VE GOT YOU SURROUNDED!"
Blitzo and Moxxie comes over to the window and check it out. Their eyes widened when they see something in the air.
In the sky, a swirling vortex of lightning clouds forms a large black hole with a menacing whoosh. An eye appears in the hole before a horde of demons called Reapers pour out of the black hole. A Reaper then takes out one of the scrolls to read the contents. Behind the Reaper, cloud forms behind to reveal the pictures of the demons of I.M.P.: Loona, Millie, Moxxie, Blitzo, Striker, and Antauri. Red letters indicate, 'Yes, you!' appear on the picture.
"Employees of the illegal business I.M.P. You are...Hereby arrested for breaking demon law, surrender yourselves!"
"YOU GUYS ARE IN DEEP SHIT!"
Blitzo and Moxxie looked extremely petrified at their pictures being posted. Deeply terrified, the demons retreat from the window and hide behind the wall.
"Blitz, where are we gonna do?" Moxxie asks with a plea.
Blitzo was unable to respond, frozen in fear. He looked between Moxxie and the Reapers outside repeatedly.
"YOU CAN'T ESCAPE!"
Blitzo snaps in terror and grabs Moxxie's face closer to his own.
"QUICK! HIDE EVERYTHING!" Blitzo yelled.
With that, Blitzo shoves past Moxxie and smacks the office door open. He jumps on Loona's desk and takes over the computer, much to her annoyance. Loona was busy playing an online poker game before Blitzo moves the mouse over to the browsing search history. He repeatedly clicks on the mouse to make a loading go fast. Just when the computer was almost done, the screen crashed, making it stop.
Suddenly, the computer was sliced in half with electricity sparking everywhere by Millie who used her axe to chop the computer down. Blitzo and Millie high-five each other before running away to get rid of everything.
Confused, Loona takes out one of her earphones and notices Moxxie carrying stacks of paper above his head. He falls, spilling everything on the floor. Moxxie frantically grabs everything as much as he can, tears spilling from his eyes.
"Come out with your hands up! We are going to beat you!"
"What?!" Loona exclaims in panic.
"But only a little!"
"FUUUUCK!" Loona yelled.
Now realizing that they're caught, Loona opens her drawer full of papers that have everything they do in their workplace, a client's list, and a bottle of whiskey. She opens the bottle and douses everything in the drawer.
"There's nowhere to run you little red shits!"
Before Loona could use a lighter, she hesitates upon seeing the photo of everyone accomplishing their first jobs, Antauri with I.M.P., and Striker along with two Cherubs working I.M.P. Loona groans and takes the photos into her shirt. She tries to ignite the lighter, but it won't work. Loona pants in fear as she tries to ignite her lighter.
"Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!" Loona said frantically.
As Loona slams her lighter, the scene cuts into the office bathroom stalls. Millie kicks the stall open with a garbage bag. She dumps all their disguises they used to do their jobs on Earth. She shoves all the disguises into the toilet, but it won't flush.
"We are going to beat you! But-but only a little."
When the disguises didn't go in, Millie uses the butt of her sniper rifle as a plunger to shove all of it deeper into the toilet. Water squirts at Millie before she flushes it.
"May-maybe a lot!"
Millie looks satisfied with her work, but then, the toilet becomes clogged and water leaks out of the stall, much to her disgust.
"Just come out!"
Back to Loona, she's still having trouble with her lighter, and Blitzo comes over to know what is wrong, gesturing her to hurry up as she furiously tries to start her lighter.
"I'M TRYING! I'M FUCKING TRYING!" Loona yelled.
Blitzo takes the lighter from Loona and throws it into the drawer. The lighter sparks, causing fire to spew up with smoke billowing up. Loona and Blitzo gives each other thumbs-up.
In the kitchen, Moxxie has stacks of papers ready with the shredder. He takes a bunch and attempts to shred them all, but it was too much to fit into the shredder. He panics and tries to get the papers out, but they are stuck, forcing him to fall just as Blitzo comes into the kitchen and opens the fridge to clear out everything. Moxxie recovers and tries to shove the papers inside, but they wouldn't budge. Moxxie screeches in panic.
"The shredder is jammed!" Moxxie said.
Blitzo drops everything and hurries over to Moxxie. He grabs him and shoves the paper into his mouth.
"Then figure it out, Moxxie!" Blitzo shouts.
"Come out with your hands up!"
Running out of time, Blitzo grabs Moxxie and carries him out of the kitchen. The gang exits out of the burning office and heads for the nearest window. Blitzo hands Moxxie over to Millie, and tries to pry the window open. Lightning clouds form in front of them, crackling. The scene shows intense fear written on their faces as they saw something incoming.
They duck and an eye-smoke bomb crashes into the window, releasing smoke. Blitzo recovers and smacks the window with his fist wider. The gang coughs.
"C'mon guys!" Blitzo grunts, coughing.
"Blitzo, they will see us!" Moxxie points out with a protest.
"Well, we can either run, or we can face the music." Blitzo told him as they look at the window with uncertainty of their lives.
The scene switches to the entrance covered in heavy smoke with the Reapers waiting for them at the front. Lightning strikes behind them. One of the Reapers checks its watch before focusing back to the building. A silhouette of the gang appears in the smoke, and the Reapers spring into action. They fly over and one of the Reapers takes out the rope, throwing it into the smoke to catch the gang.
The Reaper then pulls the rope, revealing not the I.M.P., but the four interns who looked like the gang from the smoke.
"Is this the part of the job?"
Realizing they've been duped, the Reapers turn around in silent anger. Striker and Antauri quietly look at the scene, leaning against the wall to see the Reapers are searching for I.M.P. Luckily, both Striker and Antauri were able to hide somewhere safe, but it won't last for long as the western imp quietly called the interns, who turned to them as they quietly walked out and ran to them.
"Was this part of the job, too?"
"I don't know what's going on, but it's not." Striker told him, rubbing the crystal as it calls the portal. "We're taking the hotel as a shelter 'til this whole thing blows over."
"But-But, what about..."
"Forget it, these guys are having their own problems." Antauri cuts him off. "We gotta get moving!"
Without thinking twice, Striker, Antauri, and the interns entered inside of the portal without getting caught.
The rest of the gang managed to escape and into the parking lot where they can use their van to flee. Blitzo was seen carrying Loona in his hands.
"Get. In. The Van." Blitzo grunts as they enter the van. "Hurry, hurry, hurry."
Blitzo then turns on the key repeatedly to get the engine started.
"Okay, c'mon, c'mon we got it." Blitzo groans as the scene shows the concerned Millie and Moxxie in the rearview mirror.
"Where are we going?" Moxxie asks.
Blitzo adjusted the rearview mirror to face him.
"Anywhere but here." Blitzo answered, turns around to face behind. "Get for a life of the run gang."
The engines turn on, and Blitzo floors it. However, just like last time, the distance was short, and the van ends up crashing into a light pole. Smoke steams out of the front, and a wheel plate cover rolls out.
The gang recovers with Moxxie glaring at Blitzo for his stupidity.
"I fucking hate you so much, Blitz." Moxxie grunts.
As they recover, the Reapers then appear floating in front of them.
"Freeze, criminals."
The gang is surrounded by every demon law enforcement officer and the Reapers armed to the teeth with cocking, and point at them.
A Reaper rips the front door open and roughly grabs Blitzo. They use magic to conjure handcuffs to chain the terrified Blitzo. They also conjured chains to restrain Moxxie and Millie, separating them. Loona is chained by the neck via a collar and her wrists are also handcuffed. A muzzle is conjured on her snout before she is dragged.
The scene then cuts to a dark room before the doors magically open to let the two Reapers escort the restrained Blitzo. They drag him across the path for them to follow to a stand in the spotlight.
"Come on, guys! This is-this all just one big misunderstanding." Blitzo said nervously. "Uh, is this about the orphans? 'Cause they were already sick to begin with."
A thunderous stomp echoes in the room to show the legs of the standing highest authority of Hell and the standing ruler of the Seven Deadly Sins: Satan. The Reapers who escorted Blitzo disappear in an instant.
"SILENCE!" The voice of Satan roared with authority.
Immense fear was shown in Blitzo's face as the scene shows a dark courtroom. The rest of the gang, except Striker and Antauri, are shown in a floating stand next to Blitzo. More fire lights up the room from the bottom of the pots. A row of scales seep lava into the fire pots up the courtroom. The silhouette of Satan glows under the darkness. Before the scene was covered by its massive wings before revealing himself.
Satan is a titanic and muscular dragon-like demon. He has two pair of warm orange-yellow eyes, and two pairs of striped horns that are different, the outer horns are longer and are two shades of mauve, while the inner horns are shorter and are black and white, similar to that of a male imp, and they are positioned in a way that resembles a pitchfork. His skin appears to be different shades of red with claw-like fingers, darker-red markings, and warm orange-yellow lava-like stripes covering his wings, neck, and left arm, while on his right the stripes are dark red. He also sports black spikes coming out his back, all the way down to his large, demonic tail, which has a spearhead shaped point at the end. He's dressed in a way that is reminiscent of traditional American western-style clothing, as a nod of his association with imps of the Wrath Ring. His outfit consists of a mauve tank top under a black torn vest with tassels, red lapels, and golden fasteners shaped like barbell weights, black leather trousers with a belt that has a golden skull buckle, and black cowboy ankle boots.
"We are here to sentence the criminal imp, Blitzo." Satan told him with a scowl.
The scene shows all the Seven Deadly Sins at the high bench followed by the ruling seats to the top ruling throne: bottom seat: Satan; second row: Leviathan and Mammon; third rod: Asmodeus, Beelzebub, and Belphegor; and highest throne: Lucifer Morningstar. who's absent for the trial.
Leviathan is a two-headed piscine demon with a dichotomy in her anatomy: her body is divided into two, indicated by the left half of her body appearing white and right half of the body indigo. Both heads share lengthy fin-like white hair styled in a mohawk. However, the left head is more humanoid, has webbed ears and electric blue eyes with black sclera and cyan eyeshadow, while the right is more animalistic, has a longer neck, pupilless seafoam green eyes, and a fanged, eel-like snout. In addition, the left heads hair has faint pink streaks on it with a black stripe and violet gradient interior; the right heads hair is bioluminescent, with black streaks on the topside, a dark violet-cyan gradient interior, and green spots scattered across. She wears a sleeveless high-collar black crop top with a diamond-shape cutout and twin downward-facing swirls, the right swirl being violet and the left swirl lavender. She wears a black skirt featuring a semicircle-patterned rim bearing the same color split as swirls. She also wears elbow-length gloves, black on the left and white on the right. Each head wears a light cyan pearl necklace with only the left head wearing pearl earrings, and had a cyan belt to match.
Belphegor is a light purple sheep-like demon with long puffy wool acting as her hair. She has a melting black candle on her head with a pink flame, similar to the Baphomet demons, with the tips of her hears also resembling the melting wax dripping from her candle. She has a pair of thin, black, pointed horns on top of her head, and her arms have a black-purple gradient that stops at her fingers, resembling fingerless gloves. She has five eyes on her face: one pair being her main eyes, with horizontally slit pale pupils, the second pair slightly smaller, positioned just above her main eyes, and the last singular eye on her forehead. She has an elongated white neck with five eyes vertically down the front, with 3 having black sclerae, white irises and long lashes, and two being a blank purple.
"A-Actually sir, the 'o' is..."
Blitzo paused as Satan was coming closer to his face, snarling heavily. He snorts smoke to his face, and Blitzo cracks under him.
"...Totally there! You nailed it, great job." Blitzo said nervously as Satan points at him.
While speaking, the scene pans over from Seven Deadly Sins, minus Lucifer, to the jury, consisting of every royal demon of the Ars Goetia. Andrealphus comes into the picture, smiling deviously. Across from Andrealphus, Vassago was seen glaring. The gang was present, but Loona was still muffled.
Vassago, like most of the Goetias, is a lanky avian demon who greatly resembles a Scarlet Macaw, with red feathers, a white face, and a hooked black beak. He also has rather long, gold-tipped purple feathers on the back of his head with a gold-colored streak through the center, and red eyes with no irises or pupils which are often depicted being covered by a pair of yellow visor-shades that vaguely resemble a star or a crown. He wears an outfit that leans closely to that of a magician, which consists of a red suit-jacket with a gold-trimmed popped-collar, black lapels, a star brooch, a giant 'X' and a small star design on the back, and rather long, extravagant tails that are trimmed with black, the top part being purple while the bottom is a gradient of two shades of orange. Over this, he wears a white dress-shirt with two black buttons on the center. His clothing also features black pants and white arm-length gloves and thigh-high high-heeled boots, his gloves having black torn-like cuffs and two red stripes in the front, while his boots have black toes and tips of the heels, as well as an 'X' shape on the bottom center.
"You and your crew are on a trial for stealing a powerful Goetic heirloom for undocumented personal use in the mortal realm." Satan said as he sits behind his own throne. "How do you plead?"
"Oh, this is about the book?" Blitzo asks, tried to explain when the demonic camera comes into the scene to record the trial. "Ha! I didn't steal a thing! I mean I tried, right? But since when is attempting a crime illegal, am I right?"
"Always." Moxxie said with a strained tone, scowling at his boss for not taking the trial seriously.
"Point is!" Blitzo said, making a one-eye glare at Moxxie to make him shut up while he's talking. "It was given to me, okay? I was allowed to use it."
"LIES! Your honor." Andrealphus shouts, takes the floor and uses his ice magic to conjure platform to let him slide toward Satan at the throne. "Speaking on behalf of my aggressively attractive sister: I must testify that this BRUTEISH imp was forcing himself on her husband, Stolas, who, unlike a responsible and handsome Goetic demon such as myself, was too weak and ashamed to come forward about it. The poor thing."
The demonic camera gives a close-up to Blitzo, who's outraged by Andrealphus' false accusation against him.
"WHAT?! Hey, I didn't force shit!" Blitzo said.
A magical mouthguard was formed over Blitzo's mouth to shut him up. Blitzo struggles to get the mouthguard off while Andrealphus makes his case.
"This vile, hideous imp has put his kind to shame." Andrealphus continues, smacking Blitzo back. "Committing such hardened acts to GAIN THE UPPER HAND!"
"That isn't what happened!" Moxxie protested as Satan enlarges himself and bears down at the imps.
"SILENCE!" Satan roared in a distorted tone.
Smoke billows from his jaws as he snarls down at Moxxie, bearing a huge amount of anger toward him. A demon, Yogirt, floats over to Satan's face and speaks to him.
"Um, Satan? Sorry. W-wh-what did we say about negative energies in our mind temple?" Yogirt told him. "Yeah, remember to take deeeep breathes."
Satan takes a deep breath before exhaling, and finally calms down under his words. The scene shows a shaking Moxxie briefly. Satan makes gyan mundra with his fingers as he sits back to his throne.
"Right, yeah." Satan said, then gestures to Andrealphus. "Continue."
"Ahem." Andrealphus cleared his throat, conjures an ice stand to hover above the courtroom. "I'd like to add, your honor, that in addition to his unspeakable acts with our dear, beloved Stolas-"
From a crowd, Vassago appears.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Where is Stolas anyway? Can't he speak for himself?" Vassago asks. "Que carajo? (What the Hell?)"
"He...has not been informed of this trial." Andrealphus told him, irritated which made Vassago outraged.
He conjures his own magical stand shaped like a star and confronts him.
"Que? (What?) Why not?" Vassago demands, turns to the jury. "If this involves him, then he should be here, no? No puedo creer...(I can't believe...) We need to summon him at once."
"Okay, Vassago. Shut the fuck up." Andrealphus said in annoyance, making Vassago angry.
"NO me voy a caller, (I will NOT shut up,) pendejo arrogante! (arrogant idiot!)" Vassago said in Spanish, pokes his chest.
The more Vassago talks the angrier Andrealphus gets, and he's had enough. Andrealphus flares his feathers to shut him down which didn't phase Vassago.
"Stella and I didn't want to put him through the trauma of facing his aggressor." Andrealphus told him, which is a lie, but Vassago rolls his eyes and heads back to his seat. "Who, might I add...dramatic pause...PLOTTED TO HAVE HIM ASSASSINATED!"
The scene gives another close-up to Blitzo, again, outraged by Andrealphus.
"What?!" Blitzo said in a muffled tone.
Chains sprout out of nowhere to restrain Blitzo from going out of line and from the mouthguard to shut him up even more. He was so angry that he makes unheard muffled shouting behind his mouth.
Though Blitzo's muffled shouting and an ominous song being played, the jury was in total silence when they learned this, and even Vassago was horrified of him.
"Puta madre...(Motherfucker...)" Vassago said in Spanish.
Asmodeus, Beelzebub, and Belphegor were in disbelief of Blitzo. Belphegor was in total show that she bowed her head in disappointment.
Blitzo was still making muffled cursing at the jury. Moxxie speaks up to his defense.
"That wasn't him!" Moxxie said. "We don't know who wanted Stolas dead, but it wasn't Blitz!"
"Oh? Well...Perhaps we should ask...The hit man! Himself!" Andrealphus suggested.
And with the snap of his fingers, a snake-rattling noise chatters, and a stand lifts up to reveal Striker. He sneers at the I.M.P. gang as they glare back at him in anger for his betrayal. However, they didn't realize that Striker is only acting on betraying him since Andrealphus called him for the trial, but the western imp sent Antauri and the interns to a Hazbin Hotel for his safety while kept him hiding.
"Who has agreed to give us his testimony in exchange for immunity." Andrealphus continued.
"It was him alright." Striker said, looking at Blitzo. "Paid me to kill the precious Goetia to cover up what he was doing with the uhh..."
Striker became confused and checks his palm. In his palm, there are dozens of misspelled 'grimoire' for his line to speak in the court. He squinted carefully to get the line right.
"Um...The um...Line?" Striker said, glancing at Andrealphus.
"The Grimoire!" Andrealphus told him, making a fake cough.
"Yeah, that." Striker agrees.
After an effortless struggle to get the chained muffler off, Blitzo finally gets it off his mouth and speaks in a very angered tone.
"Blagh! WHAT?! Look, I am an assassin, okay? If I wanted to kill Stolas, I WOULD'VE CONE IT MY-FUCKING-SELF!" Blitzo yelled.
Blitzo's declaration echoes in the courtroom. Upon his declaration, the crowd gasped in shock. Mammon stops playing around and heard what Blitzo said. Asmodeus and Beelzebub were flabbergasted that Blitzo rightfully admitted it in court. Even Vassasgo was horrified. Andrealphus smirks in satisfaction.
Moxxie was crying so hard he clings onto his wife with their fate being sealed.
"We're gonna fucking die." Moxxie cried.
Blitzo realized he screwed up badly in his testimony and tries to plea his mistake.
"Hang on, that's not what I meant, okay? I'm just saying I could've totally fucking killed Stolas myself." Blitzo said. "B-but I would never do tha-"
Before Blitzo could finish his sentence, the mouthguard was telepathically straightened up to cover his mouth, making him unable to speak again.
"What a disappointment." Satan said with a scowl, disappointed.
"This is bullshit, guys." Queen Bee said, earned their attention. "I've met this l'il imp dude before. He's a real wildcard, but he's a lot of fun and I think we should hear him out. It's pro'lly not a big deal."
"Yeah! I'm sure he has a good reason for all this." Asmodeus adds with an agreement.
"Oh shut up, you two." Mammon said in annoyance, which it got their attention. "We all know you enjoy slumming it with the lower-class plebs. Unlike the rest of us, heh. Right, Levy?"
Mammon elbows Leviathan. She looks uncomfortable with him (Only the left head), and scoops her seat over to get further away from him.
Asmodeus was going ballistic on Mammon, turning himself into a full demon form with flames ready to roast the jokester.
"Oh, you wanna fucking go, Mam?!" Asmodeus said in a demonic tone when Queen Bee holds him back before they can fight.
"You're just pissy nobody wants to fuck with a flaming pile of clown shit." Queen Bee said with a smirk, conjures an ice cream stick with a shape of a dildo. "Also, suck a dick!"
She then throws it at Mammon, but misses and hits the chair.
"Why don't you buzz on back to your mutt, bitch!" Mammon retorts with a smirk, flips her off.
"Why don't you keep fucking yourself, ya big asshole!" Queen Bee retorts back.
Satan has had enough of their bickering and decides to settle this.
"Why don't we take a vote." Satan suggested. "Who wants to listen to hours of testimony?"
Asmodeus and Beelzebub raise their hand to vote for a testimony for Blitzo, and spotlights shine on them to signify their vote. Moxxie and Millie raise their ownhand to vote as well, and they turned to Loona. Much to her annoyance, Loona rolls her eyes and raise her hand to make a vote for a testimony, spotlights shine on them as well.
"Who wants to kill this imp bastard and get home for lunch?" Satan asks with a smirk.
In a one-sided vote, the whole jury raised their hand and the spotlights shine on every single one of them, voting to kill Blitzo instead. Beelzebub was so disappointed at everyone that she flips at the jury before sitting down with Asmodeus, who's equally annoyed.
"Oh fuck all y'all!" Queen Bee said in a disappointed tone.
"HAH! Suck on that ya bloody [HONK]!" Mammon mocks.
In a fit of anger, Bellzebub conjures an ice-popsicle dick and throws it at Mammons mouth, knocking him back.
Andrealphus makes a menacing chuckle at the vote, and conjures an ice platform to set stairs down at Blitzo.
"You should've remained your place, imp." Andrealphus said with a smirk. "You see, this is what happens when lesser demons try to step out of line."
Andrealphus steps his heels on Blitzo's forehead before disappearing in a whish of mist. With the jury decided, Satan makes his sentencing. The chains around Blitzo disappears as he moves the frost from Andrealphus away. Striker tips his hat to the courtroom, guilty, as his platform descends back into the floor. Vassago watches from the balcony while tapping his finger on the rail, believing that something didn't feel right.
"For the treacherous crime of stealing a Goetia's grimoire for illegal use, bringing harm to a Goetic prince, and accessing the mortal coil without clearance and procedure: you, Blitzo, and your crew, are hereby sentence...to death." Satan told him in a very deep ominous tone.
Upon hearing the sentencing, the whole gang were horrified of their fates. Loona, Millie, and Moxxie are stunned in disbelief. Blitzo was very broken when he's fated to be executed. His eyes are shown in sadness.
"Hey, Levy!" Mammon called her. "After we celebrate this imps' death, let's go out, huh? Out on the town, what do you reckon?"
"And due to your bold actions against the laws of Hell, your execution will be broadcasted across the Seven Rings." Satan informed him. "To remind all of imp-kind why our power must never be challenged again."
In addition to the execution, Satan conjures cameras from all of Hell to witness the execution live. All over Hell, every imp, at the time just doing their daily chores and activity, witnessing their televisions magically being turned on to air the execution. Everyone, including Verosika Mayday, Wally Wackford, and Fizzarolli, are watching the live broadcast. Fizzarolli was so shocked that he grabs his phone to text Asmodeus.
At the courtroom, Asmodeus receives Fizzarolli's texts that said, 'OMGS', 'Ozzie', 'DO SOMTH', etc. Asmodeus can't do anything as the sentencing was already decided, and Satan had the final say, so all he can do is look on with somber expression.
The court stand where Blitzo was at suddenly turns into an execution book. Blitzo frantically tries to remove the mouthguard as the Reapers appear behind him and the rest of the gang. As they grab onto them, Blitzo successfully removes the mouthguard piece.
"NO! Not them, Your Highness!" Blitzo shouts. "It was me, it was all me, okay? Y-you can't expect to teach anyone a lesson by killing all of us!"
Satan was so infuriated that just him standing up causing a thunderous quake, frightening the demons. He gets up and personal to Blitzo, bearing down his anger at him for telling how to do a punishment.
"You dare to try to tell me how to PUNISH?!" Satan snarls in a demonic tone.
"Uh, Satan!" Yogirt called him, earned his attention. "Heh, sorry. You know what, today is an amethyst and you're acting kind of ruby. Yeah? Try some meditatioooon, re-align your chakraaas."
"Look, all that Hell is gonna see is you executing imps who are just trying to do their job!" Blitzo told him. "I'm the rogue here, not them!"
Moxxie shoves away from the Reaper holding him.
"Blitzo, what are you doing?" Moxxie questions.
"Fine." Satan said with a sigh of reluctance as he sits back on the throne. "I suppose I created an imp-kind to be obedient, I see no reason to punish the dutiful. Just axe the mouthy one."
"Oh shit, I did not see, look I'm sorry, Mox, I did everything I could-"
"You know he means you, right?" Moxxie questions rhetorically.
Blitzo was confused of what Moxxie was talking about. He then heard the Reaper growling and felt the Reapers hand on his shoulder, realizing that Moxxie was actually referring to him.
"Fuck me." Blitzo cursed himself with a deadpan look on his face.
Meanwhile, Stolas channel surf at his mansion between 'Hell-a-Novela S2' and Wacky Charms commercial. He then stumbles upon the execution and almost chokes his beverage. He knows immediately what must be done.
"Oh, my Lucifer! What are they doing?" Stolas asks in panic, ran out of the room to head for the courtroom.
Back in the courtroom, Blitzo is just about to be executed. A Reaper takes the chains off of Blitzo's body. Blitzo then looks at the rest of I.M.P.
"Do you have any final words?" Satan questions, which he smirks. "We'll pretend to care."
"All I was trying to do was rise above this stupid fucking place YOU ALL FORCED US INTO!" Blitzo yelled.
"Your Highness, please. Blitz just-"
"Moxxie, stop." Blitzo cuts him off.
"Blitz, I can't let you-"
"This big red bitch never planned on hearing us out." Blitzo cuts him again.
The scene pans from the couple up to Loona, who was looking at Blitzo with glossy eyes over losing her father.
"Just...just take care of Loona for me. Also, find Antauri and take care of him." Blitzo said with a sad look on his face, turning away.
Moxxie starts to tear up in disbelief. He holds onto his wife and turns his face away.
"No! I can't look, Millie..." Moxxie cried.
A bunch of chains surrounded Blitzo's body, holding him by the neck as he was forced to the chopping block. The Reaper conjures an axe in his hand to kill Blitzo with. Its eyes glow an ominous flaming red. He raises it, Moxxie and Millie hold on to each other with tears in their eyes as Blitzo accepts his fate. Loona starts to tear up and whimpers like a dog, turning her head away from the gruesome scene. As Blitzo takes one last look at Millie, who looks at him.
"I love you guys." Blitzo said, starts to cry and smile.
With that, the Reaper brings the axe down with a loud chop.
Everyone in Hell gasps upon seeing this. A feather lands on Blitzo's body.
"Oh my holy heck." Yogirt said.
Right in the nick of time, Stolas has entered the courtroom, preventing Blitzo from being executed. He lifts the axe with all his might using his magic. At the same time, Blitzo was accidentally being smushed by Stolas' ass up close.
"Ugh! Stolas! Get your ass outta my face!" Blitzo grunts and Satan was outraged.
"What in LUCIFER'S HELL IS THIS?!" Satan snapped, grabbing Yogirt and roughly squeezes him.
"I am about to explain everything!" Stolas said as he breaks away from the Reaper executioner and uses magic to undo the chains binding Blitzo. "In the only way I know how...song!"
Blitzo slumps his face down on the execution block, and Stolas hears Vassago cheering.
"YES! Yes!" Vassago said happily. "Canatlo (Sing it) baby!"
Satan sits back in his throne, letting go of Yogirt as Stolas begins to sing his song.
Stolas (Sings):
I came down just as soon as I heard of the imp
Stood accused of a devilish crime
Stolas conjures standing platforms as stairs with magic.
Stolas (Sings):
Could it be that a worm such as this half a brain
Could concoct such a plot so sublime?
Does this fool deserve the flame?
Or is someone else to blame?
Some kind of mastermind
A mind behind the plan!
Stolas conjures himself in one of the jury's stands.
Stolas (Sings):
Some villains grand design
To use the book
To breach the world of man!
Mammon, who's annoyed as listening to Stolas, was busy playing with block letters when he smacks them away, and eyes suspiciously at the demon of Greed.
Stolas (Sings):
Could be roaming free?
Stolas moves around Leviathan.
Stolas (Sings):
Scheming more mastermindedly?
Stolas shadows up over to Asmodeus before moving around to Beelzebub before conjuring his demon form to fly back to Blitzo.
Stolas (Sings):
Will he rest?
Who knows what he may unleash
Next, do you execute this little wretch?
Pat yourself on the back, close the case
Let this imp take the blame, take the fame
Let his name light a fire in the hearts of his race!
Why it's more than I can bare
I must make all of Hell aware!
"Fuck it!"
I am the mastermind, the hand that holds the strings!
Satan hers Stolas' claim, making him flare his massive wings as he leans forward in his throne.
Stolas (Sings):
No simple imp of mine could master the disaster
Oh it stings!
That you thought
You had caught the schemer of the schemes I wrought!
I confess!
It was me and I have no regrets!
With one spin of his cape, Stolas conjures himself and Blitzo into a star realm with no one but the two of them.
Stolas (Sings):
I have regrets
Why am I throwing my freedom away
For this idiot?
Blitzo (Sings):
What have you done?
Stolas and Blitzo (Sings):
I can't/Than live life without you by my side
Stolas (Sings):
So if it keeps you alive!
Blitzo (Sings):
What are you doing, I don't deserve this!
Stolas (Sings):
I am the mastermind, the master of my fate!
Blitzo (Sings):
I realized too late!
Stolas (Sings):
Sure as the stars have shined
Stolas and Blitzo (Sings):
Don't give your life/I'll give my life to clean my/your slate!
Stolas (Sings):
You're my light
Blitzo (Sings):
You're my heart
Stolas and Blitzo (Sings):
Only death can rend our love apart!
Upon seeing Stolas and Blitzo finishing their line, Satan suddenly laughs darkly with amusement. The realm fades back into the courtroom.
"Well, isn't that adorable?" Satan said with a smirk. "We have been betrayed by one of our own. A Goetic demon. Your hubris has gotten the better of you, Princes Stolas."
Satan starts to make his appearance and stands up. With every step he makes, Satan cracks the steps.
Satan (Sings):
I am the mastermind, and here I am the law
(He is the law!)
I've ruled the endless dark
Since long before the golden angel's fall
Satan conjures a flame silhouette of Lucifer when he's still an angel before crushing it with his hands. At Lucifer's empty throne, there was a note that said, 'BRB. 5 min.' One of his rubber ducks was placed as a reminder, but the note was old and covered in cobwebs, indicating that he hadn't been in the throne for a long time. Asmodeus and Beelzebub exchange looks and rolled their eyes over Satan's boasting since they both know who's really in charge in Hell.
Satan (Sings):
So you see
Next to me, your master plans all look so small
Satan's presence was strong enough to create explosions in the courtroom, nearly making Stolas fall. Flames shoot up in front of him before Satan was large enough to look down on Stolas' puny figure.
Satan (Sings):
Little mice
When you break my rules
You pay the price!
With the end of the note, chains spring up from the gallows and captures Stolas, binding him to the ground. Satan takes his seat and points at Blitzo and his crew.
"Release the pawn!" Satan ordered.
The chains around Blitzo disappears, but Stolas remains steadfast to his fate.
"Stolas of the Ars Goetia, you are a disgrace." Satan said in an ominous tone.
Blitzo fears of Stolas and runs over to him, grabbing his cape to pull him back.
"No! No, th-Stolas, you-you can't! You can't do this!" Blitzo cried when Stolas makes one glance behind him before facing forward. "Stolas please!"
Two Reapers appear and then grabs Blitzo. They drag him away from Stolas and Blitzo struggles to break free.
"Get the FUCK off me!" Blitzo grunts.
Blitzo breaks free and tries to run back, but this time, the Reapers conjured a chain to catch him. His wrists are bound again, and he's dragged out of the courtroom.
"Stolas! STOLAS! Stolas! Fucking-use your powers, do something! Stolas!" Blitzo cried as he's been thrown out of the courtroom, his chains undone. "Ah, let me back in!"
Blitzo looks up and makes break for the entrance, but the doors shut before he can reenter. He pulls the doors open to no vail.
"WOW, this is a sturdy door!" Blitzo grunts as he tries punch it, but he hits it so hard he breaks his own wrist. "OW! My supple wrist!"
Blitzo breaks down crying. The rest of the I.M.P. were also kicked out of the courtroom, but they didn't care. They were just glad they're alive, and Blitzo is okay. However, they were also crying, so saddened by their fate being spared in exchange for Stolas'. They bring Blitzo into a group hug.
"Sir, sir-"
"Dad!" Loona sobs.
"You're here!" Moxxie adds.
"Don't you ever do that to me again, you fucking idiot!" Millie adds.
Blitzo was in tears, shocked of what happened to Stolas. He was unable to recuperate, devastated over the loss of Stolas.
The Goetia prince then gets down on his knees, and with a heavy heart, rests his neck down on the executioner's block. Back in his mansion, Octavia watches in horror, before heading to the door, only to be stopped by Stella. Octavia stares at her mother in horror, who opens her arms and hugs her daughter. Octavia then starts to cry, closing her eyes as she hugs Stella, making twittering sounds of a sad bird. Stella then watches Stolas with a sad look on her face.
Back with Stolas, he awaits his death, while Satan just stares.
"Uhhh...What are you doing?" Satan asks, confused.
Stolas opens his eyes in surprise, and confused by that question.
"Uh...I mean...aren't you going to...you know...execute me?" Stolas asks as he stands up, slides his finger across his throat.
"Hah! Aw no, 'course not. You are a Goetia." Satan answered with a chuckle.
"But I...committed a heinous crime!" Stolas points out.
"Yeah you did." Satan agrees. "But, you are demon royalty sooo...your life was actual worth."
"So...uh...can I...can I go then?" Stolas asks, points the door.
Satan then starts laughing for a moment, holding his legs, before turning serious again.
"No. Ooh, ooh. No, no." Satan answered. "You still definitely fucked up, we just need to figure out a fitting punishment for you."
Andrealphus comes into the picture to make a suggestion that's befitting for Stolas.
"Might I make a suggestion, your majesty?" Andrealphus said as he makes an ice platform to slide down to Stolas. "I think you should banish this shameful excuse for a prince and allow someone else to take over his legions. Considering the heir isn't yet of age, I'd be happy to volunteer. After all, I'm basically everything he is, but, ahem, NOT! A deviant piece of shit."
"Yeah that works." Satan said with a shrug.
He then gets serious, snarling with smoke billowing from his jaws.
"STOLAS! I hereby strip you of your status, your power, and your title." Satan said.
With one hand, Satan raised an ancient set of golden rings with demonic hieroglyphs dating back to when Lucifer became fallen. Stolas looks on in horror as Andrealphus was gleefully happy.
"Yeees! Yeeess! YEEESSSS!" Andrealphus shouts as he's getting turned on so much, he ripped his coat off.
"For the next hundred years." Satan adds.
Stolas was looking on horrified, but Andrealphus was outraged the sentencing was not even harsh enough to satisfy him.
"Oh motherfuck! Seriously?!" Andrealphus said in annoyance.
Crimson lightning crackles from the rings as they surround Stolas. Satan uses his magic to strike Stolas with the lightning, and then lifts them up as the lightning takes away everything from Stolas. Crimson lightning strikes Stolas from the eyes, stripping him of his own royal status. When the process is done, the lightning ceased, and Stolas falls down on the head block.
"You will have to live amongst the citizens of Hell and revel in your failings!" Satan said.
Stolas, still weak and feeble, still manages to lift his head and looks at Satan.
"But, what about my daughter?" Stolas asks weakly.
The rings reassemble themselves and is being lowered back to where they came from. Andrealphus comes to the scene.
"She'll be safe and sound...With her mother." Andrealphus told him with a smirk. "The wholesome parent. Also, since Antauri isn't here in court, I'll start searching for him and bring him here."
"I guess that settles it." Satan said, clears his throat and claps his hands. "Court's adjourned, time for lunch!"
Relieved that the trial is over Mammon celebrates by getting his favorite food: a bucket of green chicken drums and tenders.
"Yeah! It's fucking lunch time!" Mammon cheered.
Mammon slams his face on the food and gobbles it all up on a wild rockstar frenzy. Some of the spectators were cheering him on. Asmodeus and Beelzebub looked on in disgust. Beelzebub looks on Stolas with worry.
The Reapers picks up the weakened Stolas by his arms as Andrealphus approaches, stepped on the hat, to gloat at him one last time.
"Buh-bye Stolas. Enjoy horny jail." Andrealphus mocks, then walks away.
The scene cuts back to I.M.P. who were still outside in the courtroom. Blitzo was still trying to get inside, but the doors wouldn't budge.
"YOU! Uh, urgh-YOU OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT-AHHH!"
Just then, the doors opened, revealing the weak Stolas and the Reapers. They throw Stolas out, making him grunt after being depowered before the doors closed again.
"Stolas? What happened in there?" Blitzo asks with concern.
Stolas slowly recovers, but he looked broken. He turns to Blitzo.
"I...have been banish-ed-"
Stolas was then hit by a coffee drink. Blitzo turns to see an imp janitor flipping him off.
"You suck, Stolas!"
"Hey! Fuck off, fuck-o!" Blitzo yelled angrily, flips him off.
"No, it's fine, Blitz." Stolas assures him, stands up. "Everything I have is gone."
"You need a ride a home." Blitzo said when his phone beeps as he pulls it out and got a text message from Antauri.
'Meet up at the Hazbin Hotel!' ~Antauri
"I...have no home now." Stolas told him. "Everything I have is gone."
The I.M.P. looked at Stolas with sympathy. They understand now that Stolas is no longer a royalty, meaning he's lost everything he had when he was a prince. Blitzo holds his hand.
"Look, I know someone who can help." Blitzo said as he uses the crystal to make the portal. "Come on, let's go. You guys head on home."
After Blitzo and Stolas entered through the portal and inside of the hotel, Striker starts explaining why he does it because of Andrealphus hired him for the kangaroo court which it was an act in order to get the satisfaction. Stolas then explains to Antauri about what happened and why he's no longer royalty, which the white hellhound understand why, but learned that Andrealphus is looking for him.
"I'm sorry, Antauri. I couldn't do anything about it." Stolas said sadly. "With Andrealphus looking for you, he'll kill you before the trial."
"That's what I would do if they tried to backstab me." Striker states seriously when Lucifer walks to them sadly.
"Isn't there anything you can do?" Antauri asks as Lucifer sighs.
"I'm sorry. Satan and I decided millennia ago that if I was unavailable for a trial, then he gets final say on the verdict, no exception." Lucifer explains. "If I tried to go against his ruling by myself, he'd gather all his Legions and start a civil war. I can go to the other Sins, and see if we can overturn the ruling democratically, but it's going to take some time."
"That's okay, we understand." Antauri assures. "We appreciate your trying."
Lucifer nods as Stolas and Blitzo looks at the white hellhound.
"So, what are gonna do now?" Blitzo asks. "With Andrealphus looking for some help to find you, you're a fugitive now."
Antauri knows that he's right, but he knows that there's only one place that he has to go...and it's the human realm.
"I'm going to the human realm." Antauri told him which leaving Charlie, Blitzo, and Stolas shocked. "I'll stay hidden for the time being and hoping that I can blend in with the other humans."
"But Antauri, are you sure about this?" Stolas asks. "I mean, you've been in Hell for only a year and no one will be able to help you anymore."
"Well, they're gonna have to catch me first." Antauri said with a chuckle, about to get ready to leave. "Besides, he doesn't know about the human realm like I do. And finding me like he's finding a needle in a haystack."
"Hm, point taken." Blitzo said with an agreement. "But what about your education? You know, the shit that you're getting from that demon teacher."
"I'll figure something out." Antauri points out, heading to the room he uses as he gathers his things to get ready to leave.
But soon as Antauri got everything he need, Charlie and Vaggie stops in front of him with a sad look.
"Charlie...Vaggie...don't try and stop me." Antauri said as he uses his crystal to conjure a portal. "I have to do this."
"We know, but Antauri, if this is what you want...then we'll support you." Charlie told him sadly. "But...just be careful and come back in Hell."
Charlie and Vaggie then hugs the white hellhound when Blitzo was in the scene.
"Look, kid...I know I didn't say this a lot but...I care about you...A lot...And yeah, I know I can be a real pain in the ass sometimes, but I wish you the best and you get strong." Blitzo said. "And when you get the chance to come over and do some work with us...and maybe hang out for time to time."
"Blitz, I'm not leaving forever, it's just until the whole thing blows over." Antauri said. "But...tell Millie, Mox, Loona, and the others that I'm sorry."
"I will." Blitzo replied as Striker tosses the hat to Antauri.
"You'll be needing this wherever you're going." Striker told him, then tipped his hat. "You take care of yourself."
Antauri replied with a nod, puts his hat on and tipped his hat as he then leaves and the portal closes.
Antauri then enters through the portal and then turns into a human form at the alley. He walks out and blending in the alley when he notices a Big Ben tower, realizing that he's in the United Kingdom, England. But he bumps into a human as he looks up.
"Sorry." Antauri said, but the male adult grabs him.
"Are you lost, young man?" He asks, worried. "Where are your parents?"
"...They died, and I use the money to get here...just to get a fresh start." Antauri answered with a sigh.
"I see, but it's a bit too early for that." He told him. "But I'm afraid you'll need a new home."
"Look, I've tried that, it didn't go well after everything happen." Antauri points out. "So, what good would that do?"
"I'm giving you a chance to live with us, me and my daughter. So, you won't have to keep on running and hoping that Lara get to have someone to watch over while I'm at work." He explains. "So, what do you say? Think you can give it a try?"
Antauri then thinks for a minute, but even remembered the time when he's with the I.M.P. in Hell and making friends for only year. However, with Andrealphus making everything difficult for him after the trial and Stolas lost his royal status, the white hellhound decided to go on the run and stayed in the human realm. He looks at him and answered with a nod.
"Good, let me take you to my house and fill in the papers for adoption." He said, but didn't get the name. "Oh, almost forget, what is your name?"
"It's Carl." Antauri answered, decided to use the name his old foster father given him. "You?"
"I am Richard Croft, and young man, I'm an archeologist." Richard answered happy. "And Carl, welcome to London."
That's it for the chapter.
The warning still stands.
Also, I'll be doing another crossover, where Antauri gets to have an adventure with Lara to look for artifacts and tombs in the future.
