All right, Tai will be joining us in a bit. For now, it's just me… and of course some help from Lord Ashwood… again… mandatory thanks.
Anyway, there will be one or two more chapters after this one. When this one is done, the chapter(s) in question will be shorter than this or any others. After that, Volume 1 of this story will be done.
On another note, Volume 2 will not be coming out for a while. I just wanna wait at least sometime after Season 2 of Hazbin Hotel is out before doing the sequel to this story, just to get some kind of idea of where to go with the story. I have a Helluva Boss version of this story planned, but that won't be a collab.
One last note, when Season 1 is done, I'm gonna take a small break from writing… well anything after the next few chapters. I've got a lot of things planned and I'm gonna hold off on them before I continue writing. Thank you all for sticking around this far again and I hope to see you all whenever we do the sequel.
(1 Day before the Extermination)
It was morning and Charlie was in the hallway to her bedroom, alone, and pacing back and forth while muttering to herself. She took a deep breath now and then before going back to muttering to herself. Eventually, she looked at her hands before letting out a sharp and wary breath.
The first thing she did that morning was go through a few tests. Afterward was breakfast, Ash decided to travel back to his world to get ready, and now there were her people waiting outside for her to come out. Unfortunately, they'd have to wait a while longer.
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay… not that big of a deal. Keep it together, Charlie." She tells herself before she holds up one of the unused sticks in her hand. "They can't… some have to be wrong… right? I mean, it's just…" She held up a ziplock bag full of sticks before counting quickly. "One two three… thirty-two with two lines, not a big DEAL! They could be just errors or something. Just…" She took a deep breath and stopped pacing. "Thirty-eight left… maybe they'll… say something different."
She then entered her bedroom and headed for the bathroom door. She stopped halfway before some more thoughts entered her head.
"This… why am I acting like this is a bad thing, again?... Oh yeah, cause I told him humans and demons cannot crossbreed and I might have a fricken baby in my stomach somehow without any explanation. That's it." She laughed before her face dropped. "But then I have to explain this to my dad and-Fucking shit! What am I supposed to tell him!?" She says, somehow quiet enough not to be heard.
She then shook her head before she looked at the picture of her with her two lovers and picked it up. The more she looked at it, the more she began to feel calm.
"I mean… it's not a big deal though, right? Sure I don't know how this is possible, but… it's not that bad, right? He did say he would like to have kids later, so he'll be happy if he finds out, right?" She laughed to herself before thinking as she placed the picture down. "Yeah, it's okay. We can figure out why some other time… or not, 'cause I don't care how." She then looked at the stick again. "Just need to be sure."
With another deep breath, the princess fixed her posture and continued to the bathroom, mentally telling herself that things were gonna be alright. The second she opened the door, she saw Vaggie, who yelped before throwing something, then standing straight with her arms behind her back looking wide-eyed at the blonde.
"... Vaggie? What… What are you doing?" Charlie asks, dumbfounded.
"Uh… n-nothing." The one-eyed woman says while laughing nervously. "I was just… ya know… going to the bathroom, that's-that's all I'm doing… right now in fact."
"Then why not lock the door?" The blonde asks, puzzled.
"Haha, just forgot is all. I'm just…" Vaggie says as she reaches for the door, but stops short and looks down, her face falling at what she was looking at. "C-Charlie…"
The blonde looked down at the bag in her hand, then jumped before hiding it behind her back. She then smiled nervously while sweating. The other woman's one eye darted left and right before looking back at the blonde. She kept sweating profusely before sighing and moving her hand back to show the bag.
"What… are-"
"Tests…" Charlie says. "I… have been… uh… y-yeah."
She then handed the bag to her. Vaggie took the bag and looked it over, her eye widening as she looked at them. She opened the bag and took one out, looking at the result. Then put it back before taking out another one, and then another one, and then another one, and stopped before dropping them back into the bag.
"No way."
"I know, I know, I was freaking out earlier when I saw the results. I'm just-"
"This… this isn't real. There's no way this is real." The one-eyed woman says, starting to freak out.
"Again, I know. Humans and demons, it's a whole… w-whatever. That doesn't mean it's a bad thing though." Charlie then hugged her lovingly. "I'm not gonna leave you. You don't have to… worry…" She says before trailing a bit.
She stopped hugging her and then looked over the other woman's shoulder before walking past her. Vaggie muttered something in Spanish while covering her mouth. The blonde looked into the trash next to the toilet and looked shocked. In the bag were around seven tests, all with two lines.
She then looked in the direction of the corner where her girlfriend had thrown something and walked over to it, pushing the door closed. In the corner was another test and she picked it up, finding it had just recently been used, and of course, there were two lines. She looked back and forth, all of them had the same result, none of them differing from each other and none saying negative.
"... V-Vaggie."
"Charlie, I… I don't…"
"We're having…"
"I-I can't believe this. This has… t-these have to be fake! I can't be… t-there's… there's no way-How is this possible!?" Vaggie yelled while grabbing her head.
"I don't know… but… honestly…" Charlie laughed a small bit. "I-I don't mind."
"W-what?"
"Again, I know that it seems… I-I mean, I'm confused too, but… I… really don't care how." Charlie says while smiling. "The thought of being a mother it…
"No…" Vaggie muttered.
"It doesn't sound so bad."
"No, no, I can't be a mother!" Vaggie yelled while ripping some of her hair out while her wings emerged.
"Vaggie, calm down!" Charlie says while grabbing her shoulders.
"I-I just can't! I… I can't do this. I'm not fit to be a mother. I'm not… I-I-"
"It's okay, it's okay." Charlie says as she hugs the woman and rubs her back.
The two stayed there for almost a minute, hugging each other as the shorter woman slowly calmed down. She sighed before their hug loosened a bit.
"I'm sorry, I… I just…" She sighed. "I don't… think I'm cut out for this. I won't be a good mother."
"No, don't say that. You don't know that." Charlie tells her before looking into her eye. "Vaggie, I know we can be good parents. We just…" She trailed for a second as she tried to think of her next words. "Okay, I don't know for sure what to do, but… we can get through this, I'm sure."
"I just… what… what would Ash think?"
"What do you mean? He already told us that he wanted to have kids."
"Yeah, later, not now."
"I know, but he looked so sad when we told him we couldn't have kids. Now, we're gonna have kids. He'll be happy once he learns about this."
"You think so?"
"I do."
Before continuing, Charlie looked at the mirror, then proceeded to undo the buttons on her shirt around her abdomen and opened it. Her stomach still appeared smooth, no indication of something in it. However, she rubbed her belly, knowing there was something there. She then moved her hand to Vaggie and lifted her shirt. It looked smooth, but as the two touched it, they felt something hard. It made the woman in question appear embarrassed.
"Nothing yet, but… it may be a while." Charlie says.
"Yeah." Vaggie says, still holding it. "I'm still a little… not a little, I'm scared."
"It's okay." She says before taking the other woman's hand and kissing her on the cheek. "We'll get through together."
Vaggie took a moment before smiling… but then another thought occurred. "Oh shit, the Extermination. This could not be a worse time."
"Oh god, I forgot about that."
"We can't fight like this. If these things are telling the truth, then-"
"Then we need to be careful. You said it, right? The other exorcists don't know how to fight. Maybe if we can just keep them from attacking… here."
"Shouldn't we tell him?"
"We can tell him… but… now's probably not a good time. Let's take care of the main situation at hand."
"Alright. I'll… I'll trust you."
(Meanwhile)
"Alright, you guys get the idea. I can't have you guys in Hell because… well reasons. And considering what's about to happen in the next few days, I think it's for the better." Ash finished telling his Pokemon who all sighed dejectedly. "I know, you guys miss everyone, but trust me, this is for the better. Once everything is taken care of, I'll take you back to visit or maybe even take them to see you guys here."
The Pokemon nodded while muttering again, to which he nodded back and was ready to leave. He stopped before looking down and seeing Pikachu and Riolu looking up at him. He sighed before kneeling.
"Look, I think you two should stay here as well. With the Extermination coming up I… I'm gonna try to keep as much blood off my hands as I can. Not proud of saying that so, I don't want you guys to get easily influenced by this stuff, too… I want you to stay here with the rest until everything is settled."
Before he stood up, he felt his pants get grabbed before looking down. Pikachu looked up at him with determination before he hopped onto the boy's shoulder, and then said something in his language oh which only the boy could understand. Riolu then walked up and pumped his fists before jumping onto his other shoulder.
"Heh… stubborn like me, huh?" Ash chuckled before adjusting his hat. "Yeah, well then… get ready 'cause… there's gonna be a lot of… killing."
(Later at the house)
"Hey, Ash, how long are you gonna be over there for?" Delia asks her son who was just finished setting his backpack on the chair.
"About a week. A bit of a serious event happening and I wanna be there for a bit." Ash explains. "Maybe I'll take you to meet them when we're done."
"Okay, well, don't get hurt."
Of course, Ash didn't have the heart to tell his mother how he got a hole blown through his chest or that he was gonna go out to kill angels who would be trying to kill him. He trashed the destroyed jacket and just said he lost his hat during one of his trips there.
Sadly, as he looked in the mirror, he couldn't help but feel empty without the hat. The rest of his outfit he had duplicates of, but his hat was one of a kind. He moved a hand up to his head and felt around. While he did wish he could've kept it, he had to accept that it was gone now. Besides, it wasn't that big of a deal. He could replace it and most likely would. Now, it wasn't important.
After heading for the stairs and stretching as he went down the first two steps, he was caught off guard when he heard his mother giggling about something. He walked further until he was mid-way downstairs before leaning over the railing and seeing her at the home phone.
"Oh, here he is." Delia says before standing up. "Hey, Ash, come here! Serena just called."
"Serena? Now?" He asks.
"Yes, come on. Come talk to her."
He looked surprised, then thought for a second before continuing down and going over to the phone. His mother left as he leaned over and saw that it was the blonde on the screen before quickly sitting down and picking up the receiver.
"H-hey, Serena. Nice to meet you." He says.
"Hey, Ash. Good to see you too." The girl says on the other end. "You're still wearing the same outfit. No offense."
"None taken, uh… you've changed. Nice ponytail."
"Thank you."
He was surprised to see her again, though he was right when he said she had changed. There was the aforementioned ponytail she wore as it looked like she was growing her hair out again and her outfit looked similar yet different from the original one he remembered her wearing.
"Where's your hat?"
"Huh?" Ash says before looking up. "Oh yeah… uh… I lost it. I don't know where it is right now."
"Oh… I'm sorry to hear that."
"It's fine. It's replaceable."
"Gotcha. I was just calling to tell you that I'm gonna be visiting you in about two months."
"Really? What's the occasion?"
"You don't know?" Serena asks before he just shrugs, bringing her to sigh. "Well, it's because a certain someone is turning eighteen in those later months."
"Wait, what?"
"Ash…" Delia says getting his attention. "Your birthday is in two months. Did you forget?"
"Wha… I-I… n-no. I just… have been busy these past few months, you know." He laughed nervously. "A lot… and I mean a lot of stuff has been happening."
"Is it because you're planning on going on another journey?"
Ash looked at the blonde before looking down. "N-no, actually. Just hanging back for now. I'm helping someone with a big project and… a lot of stuff is happening because of it."
"Sounds rough. What is the project?"
"A small hotel for rehabilitation don't know how else to put it."
"Hey, Serena, how's it going?" He perked up at the male voice that came from the other side before seeing a black-haired boy with a red cap with sunglasses atop it on the screen. "Woah, so this the guy you were talking about?"
"Yeah, hold on." Serena then adjusted her sitting position. "Calem, this is Ash, my childhood friend. Ash, this is Calem, my boyfriend." She then says which surprised the other boy.
"Hey, bud. Serena tells me a lot about you."
"Yeah, uh… nice to meet ya Calem."
"He's been by my side for three months now and we just started dating not long ago."
"I see. Heh. Gotcha."
"Yeah, man. Like I said, she's told me a lot about you. It's great to see one of her friends." Calem then says. "Can't wait to have a Pokemon battle with you when I get the chance."
"Heh, yeah, sounds like fun."
"Ash, are you okay? You sound exhausted." Serena asked with concern.
"I'm fine, seriously. Just got a lot on my plate. I've gotta head out in a bit so…" Ash says before looking at the time. "Look, I'm sorry. I really want to catch up, but… I just…"
"No, no, it's okay. I can call back at a better time if that's okay." Serena says before thinking for a moment.
"Heh, I'd love to say otherwise but… yeah, maybe some other time."
"Oh, Ash, before I go…" Serena started to say but then paused.
"What? What's up?"
The blonde was silent for a few seconds before shaking her head and smiling. "Nevermind. I forgot. Maybe I'll tell you next time. I'll see you again soon."
"Okay, it was good to see you again. See you soon."
With that, they both hung up and then the boy sat back while looking up, processing the reminder he was given.
(Meanwhile at a Pokemon Center)
Serena sighed before leaning back in her seat. "What a nice reunion."
"Do you think maybe you should've told him about back then? You said you wanted to get it off your chest." Calem says.
"No, he already seems stressed, the last thing I wanna do is add to that. Besides, that's all in the past." She says before sitting up. "I'm not gonna get it off my chest by telling him now. I have to move on."
"Well, you're doing good so far. It's always better once you take the first step."
"Yeah, I know." Serena chuckled as she stood up before giving him a peck on the lips. "Now come on, I believe you were telling me about being excited to see the Safari Zone."
"Oh, yeah. Trust me, you'll love it. Hey, Chesnaught! Delphox!" Calem then called as the aforementioned Pokemon looked over. "We're gonna be heading out." The Pokemon then made their way over to their trainers. "Ready?"
"Yeah, ready." Serena tells him with a smile.
(Back with Ash)
Ash went back up to his room and sat on his bed. He scratched his head before he looked at a picture of him on the nightstand. It showed him when he was ten. He was just starting his journey at the time and Pikachu was making a grouchy face in the photo as it was before he first left Pallet Town. The thought of how his first Pokemon used to be, no one would guess they'd become so close.
Then he looked over at his badge collection, seeing all that he collected over the years from the different regions. They were all reminiscent of how far he had come, his adventures and everything. Then Pikachu jumped onto the bed.
"Hey, bud." He says while petting his head. "So… I'm gonna be eighteen soon. Man, time really flies by. Feels like I traveled the world in less than a year." He says before looking at one of the photos he took with his girlfriends. "Not gonna be a teenager much longer."
"Pika." Pikachu starts, grabbing his attention. "Pika, Pikachu."
"What am I gonna do? Well…" He looked back at the photo. "I think I know what I should do."
(Up in Heaven)
"Okay, so Ash isn't up in Heaven… that's not a good sign. That doesn't necessarily mean he ended up in Hell, but if he's not here then where could he be?" Phin says before stopping at a certain door before calming himself. "Oh dear father, Emily is not gonna like this."
He then opened the door and saw Emily sitting on her own, holding the boy's hat. She looked up at the other Seraphim before forcing a smile.
"H-hi, Phin." She says, trying to remain cheerful while waving.
"Hey, Emily." Phin says before closing the door.
"So… did… did you find him?"
"I… n-no. I haven't. Sorry." He tells her which makes her drop her cheerful facade and look down at the hat. "Hey, it's okay. I'm sure he's somewhere around here… somewhere."
Emily then held up the headwear. "What if he did go to Hell?"
"Emily, come on, you know that can't be it." The other Seraphim says while sitting next to her. "Maybe he's just… lost, ya know. Heaven is really big, so who knows where he could end up here?"
"Still he didn't deserve to die, especially not like that."
"I know, but… I don't know what to do. Although I'm sure wherever he is, he's okay… hopefully… anyway." Phin tells her. "I haven't known him or Charlie for long, but they're nice and… they deserve another chance. There's gotta be something we can do."
"... I hope so too."
(Back in Hell)
Someone was watching the hotel from several hundreds of monitors. Each one showed the crew, including the princess and fallen angel training, wielding angelic weapons, all that they could to prepare. And one person in particular was watching them, one who was getting a kick out of it.
"No fucking way. They're going to fight? Oh my god." Vox says while holding his mug and laughing hard. "Oh, looks like your little hotel didn't work out so well." He continues laughing before seeing the Radio Demon appear. "Oh, Alastor… I cannot wait to watch you get FUCKED!" He yelled one last time before laughing hysterically.
After the laugh, he then saw a flash on one of his screens and looked at it, seeing Ash had appeared with his two Pokemon.
"Oh, well, look who decided to show his ass."
(Hotel)
After Ash's arrival, he looked around a the progress being made. The cannibals wielding angelic weapons, a board being shown of where to attack the angels, the hotel being boarded up for protection, it may not be perfect but it was something. Knowing how the exorcists don't even know how to fight, he hoped it could work to their advantage.
"Hey, Ash!" He heard and looked back in surprise.
"Connor?" He says while seeing the Morningstar siblings walking over to him. "Charles, Cecilia? What are you doing here?... Wait are you here to fight too?"
"N-no, we're not. We're not exactly fighters." Charles tells him.
"Speak for yourself." Connor says while brandishing a sniper rifle that has an angelic lining on it. "I'm keeping my little sister safe."
"Woah, when the hell did you learn to use… that?" Cecilia asks before the older blonde gives her a look. "... Okay, not really liking the silence."
Charles then laughed forcefully while lowering the barrel of the rifle before clearing his throat. "Well, me and Cecilia aren't here to fight. We're just here to see our little sister before the big battle that's gonna go down."
"Okay, gotcha." Ash says. "Been a while since I last saw you guys, how are things going?"
"Well, Dad's been happier lately, so things are going great." Charles says.
"Yeah, it's been good for most of us." Connor says. "This is something that kinda scares him though. But he's holding out hope for Charlie… and is reluctantly standing by for now. You sure you can hold your hold your own?"
"It's worth a shot. At the very least, we can make them retreat… that's probably the best-case scenario." Ash tells them.
"Well, it's better than nothing at least."
The boy nodded, then looked over at Cecilia. He was expecting her to still try and make a move on him, but surprisingly, she was looking away with an unreadable expression. He thought it was odd. Maybe after learning he was dating her sister, she decided to give up. He couldn't say for sure, but it seemed more likely than not.
"Hey, Ash!" Charlie called, making everyone look at her.
"Hey, Charlie." He says before looking around. "Looks like things are coming along well."
"As well as it can get really." Vaggie says as well.
"I wish my mom was here to see this." The princess then says which makes the other three Morningstar siblings look down when mentioning her.
"The cannibals are ready to fight. Are we?" Vaggie asks, and before anyone can say anything.
"Fear not, damsels!" Pentious burst out of the hotel dressed in a general uniform. "I shall have the staff ready for victorious combat."
"Okay, what in the Hell are you supposed to be?"
"General Pentious reporting for duty. I'll turn those rapscallions into soldiers in no time at all."
"Thank you, Pen." Charlie says.
"What can I do to help?" Niffty asked with as much energy as she normally has.
"I'm glad you asked, soldier. The base needs fortifications." Pentious then drew a line around her. "Reinforce the southern wall, create a moat around the perimeter to stop a ground assault."
… The gremlin just blinked, not understanding.
"How about this? If you see an angel, stab it." Charlie then says while giving her a knife.
"You sure it's alright to let her go around with that thing?" Connor asked.
"It'll be fine."
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" They heard Angel shout and saw him climb one of the support beams to stay safe.
"NOT HIM!" Charlie quickly called out, stopping the little gremlin before she ran off.
"Aw…" Pentious says while pinching the bridge of his nose… or lack thereof before looking to Ash. "I mean, we can still… uh… I do also have an idea for your Pokemon to help."
"Wha… oh… uh… Pentious…" Ash says while scratching the back of his neck. "Pikachu and Riolu are the only ones joining us during the battle."
"Wait, what?"
"Yeah, again, remember the thing back then with… Alastor's friend."
"Oh, right…"
"Look, I'll bring them back to visit, but no more than that. They won't be here on Extermination Day."
"Understood." Pentious then says before the one-eyed woman steps in front of everyone.
"Listen up sinners! We got twenty-four hours before the Extermination begins. Let's get to work." Vaggie says in her military tone.
(Meanwhile with Vox)
He was laughing in the most hysterical tone possible, looking at everyone and just laughing… that's it. He was laughing at them.
"They're going to fucking die. They're-They're gonna die."
TK: Yeah, I feel like this scene wasn't-
AF: JESUS! When did you show up?
TK: Uh… a few seconds ago?
AF: … Whe-
TK: Look, you can keep questioning it, or we can continue this.
AF: Okay.
(Hotel)
After all the training was done, the Radio Demon showed up. Ash stepped away from him and allowed him to give Charlie his microphone.
"Really proud of her for doing this." Vaggie says, catching the boy's attention. "Even if we can't redeem any sinners, at least we can hopefully put a stop to these angels."
He smiled, but then he took another look at her. She looked at him, then looked a little dumbfounded as he was staring. He then reached out and touched her back, making her flinch for a second before looking at him.
"Uh, Ash?" Vaggie started to say before he moved his hand up to her cheek, specifically where her missing eye was. "O-okay, I… okay."
She didn't get what he was doing, but he was focusing on something else. Her wings… her halo… her eye… she had all those things before. At first, he didn't question how her eye was missing, but knowing Adam and how far his goons were willing to go, he had an idea how. However, instead of getting angry, he remained calm.
"They won't get away with what they did to you." He says. "I promise I will make them pay."
Hearing that, she smiled while blushing at him. Then they heard the microphone peak and looked at Charlie.
"Hello, I want to thank everyone for coming here." Charlie starts saying to everyone. "Even people who aren't staying here yet… Cherri."
"Look, I can't resist a fight. And especially when tag teaming with this fuckhead here!" Cherri says enthusiastically.
"Tomorrow, the exorcist angels will face a Hell ready to defend itself and win." The princess finishes while pumping her fist in the air.
"Yeah! Tell'em, baby!" Vaggie cheered.
"Yeah, go on!" Ash cheered next.
"Yes, and we are-we are going to win! But in case we don't…" Charlie then got prepared for the next bit. "I want you all to know… that getting to know you has been the biggest honor of my life. Whatever redemption really means, I know you all tried. I have seen the good in all of you. And it's…" She choked on her words. "I-I'm just… I love you all… so much. And-and live tonight however, you want because-"
"WE'RE GONNA DIE!" Niffty interrupted then cackled as everyone looked at her in shock.
"... Okay, let's give it up for not dying! Love not dying!" Vaggie tried to clear the air… "... Drinks?"
(Inside)
Yeah, the group was taking part in having a drink. Not only that, but Ash stuck to his word and brought some of his Pokemon to say hello before they'd go back home for the night. Charizard seemed to be the happiest getting to see Charlie with Razzle and Dazzle.
"Wow." Connor says after taking a shot. "Damn, that is strong alright. Ain't no bartender I know that can make a drink like this."
"Heh, yeah, this is pretty good. You should open your own business." Charles says.
"Eh, not much of a business guy. Think I'm gonna stick with this for now." Husk says before Oshawott appears on his shoulder and he gives the otter a scratch behind the neck, making him coo.
"Ugh, fuck, I need another…" Cecilia yelled out.
"You're already dru-She's already drunk." Connor says. "Lightweight much?"
"Here's to being alive today and not dying tomorrow!" Pentious says while raising his glass before the others in the group who had glasses clanged theirs together.
Only a few were not indulging in such. Ash, Riolu, Pikachu, and the other Pokemon were staying out of it, mostly because of the age thing, but because they didn't want to. Strangely enough, neither Charlie nor Vaggie were indulging in drinks either. No one bothered to ask why. And Alastor was up on the top of the stairs with Niffty who was hugging Gible tightly, no one able to hear what they were talking about.
"Gotta say, last day of the afterlife, and you're not off snorting a line off some hunk's abs?" Husk says to one guy in particular.
"Eh, you fucked one cannibal pool boy, you fucked 'em all." Angel says before drinking his shot.
"I guess you have changed." The cat says as even Oshawott looks proud.
"Hey, Charlie said live tonight however we wanted, so pour me a fresh one, and let's get to living."
Pentious was staring at the cyclops girl who was busy talking with the other one-eyed woman. The snake looked nervous before he felt a pat on his back and turned to see Ash giving him a reassuring smile and then nodding. Then he felt a pat on his tail and looked down, seeing Snivy there who gave him a thumbs up. He felt a wave of confidence and slithered up to them.
"Ms. Bomb… Cherri." Pentious says while taking his hat off as Vaggie leaves.
"Yeah?" Cherri says in annoyance.
"I wanted to tell you…" He begins as Charlie is watching in the back all giddy while Vaggie pulls her away. "That I… I…" He starts to say with a blush before throwing his hand out. "I'd love to wish you good luck in the battle ahead."
"Okay." Cherri says while shaking his hand, appearing weirded out.
"You are… have always been a worthy opponent. With the most… brilliant explosive contraptions I've ever seen."
"Uh…" Cherri forms a smile. "Thanks?"
"Anyway, I guess…" He… chickened out. "Please don't die tomorrow-Okay bye!" He then slithered off, looking embarrassed as he went upstairs.
Then there was a knocking at the door, one that Ash went over to check out. He opened the and to his surprise, found the Carmine sisters with a box in hand.
"Oh. Hey, Pentious, your order is here!" Ash called.
"Order? I didn't order anything." Pentious called back, making him confused.
"Delivery for a Mr. Ketchum?" Clara says jokingly.
"Wha… o-oh. Is it-" The boy started to say.
"Yes, it's done."
Intrigued, he took the box before opening it up and checking its contents. That allowed Riolu time to sneak past him. He pulled out a familiar-looking hat, checked it over, then looked at the other pieces of the outfit.
"Heh, looks exactly like the picture I gave." He says happily.
"Yeah, it wasn't hard really, compared to making ya know, weapons from angel steel." Clara tells him, not noticing that Riolu had taken one of the spears and started swinging it around. "There's also something else."
"What?" He says before reaching in and pulling out a small trinket, pressing the button before it uncollapsed into a sword with angelic steel. "Woah!"
"We know you said you wanted to avoid killing, but… you are gonna need something to defend yourself with." Odette tells him.
What they didn't notice was the small jackal was going on with the spear. Spinning it, stabbing the air, doing a flip while spinning it around, doing all sorts of tricks that only got noticed by the cannibals who remained there.
"Okay, fair point." He says while recollapsing the blade. "If I have to, I'll put it to good use. I owe you."
"Yeah, you owe us a date." Clara says as the blonde blushes.
"Wh-What!?" Ash says, baffled.
"Kidding, kidding." She laughing. "Seriously, don't go dying on us."
"I… I won't."
Riolu was still spinning the spear before it slipped out of his hand, flying in one direction before someone shouted. "MY LEG!"
"Oh, not again." Ash groaned before shouting over the girls. "Guys, we told you to be careful with the spear!"
Riolu looked back and forth, noting he wasn't noticed and stepping back while whistling innocently.
"Hey, uh… maybe after this you could… stop by every now and then?" Odette asked, much to her sister's bafflement.
"Uh… I guess." Ash says, not noticing his Pokemon sneaking back in. "Thank you for this, seriously."
"No problem, bud. Take care now." Clara says while waving off as she starts leaving.
"Pleasure doing business with you." Odette says while following her sister.
"Girl, what was that?" The other woman says with a smirk. "You got a thing for him?"
"N-no, I… I just it'd be nice to have a visitor for a change."
"O. M. G. You're crushing on him?"
"Shut up!" The blonde says while shoving her. "I am an adult! I'm not crushing on anyone."
"Sure, sure. Come on, sis. Let's go."
Clara just chuckled. Odette took one more look over her shoulder before looking away while adjusting her glasses.
(Back inside)
"What is it?" Pentious asks while slithering over.
"Just a little something to… what's the saying?... Pay homage to a certain someone. In my world." Ash says before he looks down and sees Riolu looking up at him. "Someone I think you might like, buddy."
While they continued talking, Charlie was distracted when she saw her sister taking another drink at the bar. She saw that her brothers were standing a few feet away from her, talking without her. She took a deep breath and walked over to her.
"Think you've had enough, girl." Husk tells the other Morningstar.
She didn't even blink, just pushed her glass away while sighing. The cat just left her be and took her glass before going back to clean others with it. As he did, the older Morningstar stepped in and sat next to her.
"Hey, Cel."
"... Hey." The younger woman says while turning away in annoyance, unable to hide the fact she was drunk.
"So… it's good to see you again. Haven't talked to you in a while."
"Heh, yeah, I wonder why."
"... I know you're upset with me-"
Cecilia then scoffed. "Upset with you doesn't even begin to describe how I feel."
"I'm sorry. I… I didn't mean to do this to you."
"... Are you expecting sympathy? 'Aw, the Princess of Hell finally realizes running away from problems doesn't fix them.' Bitch, please." Cecilia says while turning away, resting her elbows on the counter.
Charles heard and was about to walk over before Connor put a hand on his shoulder and shook his head.
"How do you think we felt? When Mom suddenly disappeared, leaving Dad to grieve, and when our big sister decided to just… bail on us just because she couldn't handle… handle…" Cecilia started to say before covering her face and then groaning in anger. "You have no idea what that feels like."
Charlie looked at her. Despite her sister not being completely there, she knew that tone and it didn't make her feel good.
"And instead of coming back or even trying to talk to him, you're off getting a hot girlfriend and a hot boyfriend, 'cause clearly they matter more. You could've called him to talk, but no, the only time you ever call him is when you need something. And even after all that, he still comes running back to you and forgiving you without you having to say sorry." Cecilia then covers her eyes, failing to hide tears. "And the worst part is… I still can't fucking hate you even after all that shit."
Charlie's hands twitched a bit while still looking down.
"What? Not gonna say anything about how you 'needed' to do this to 'help' our people?"
"... No… cause you're right." Charlie says quietly. "I'm… Really, I'm sorry."
"Just… leave me alone." Cecilia says before hiding her face in her arms.
The older blonde didn't say anything more, only standing up before heading for the stairs. Their brothers watched, not knowing what to say and giving each other a short glance. Ash caught the princess out of the corner of his eye going upstairs, Vaggie following just a ways behind. He then looked over at the boy noticing her siblings. He got worried and put the box down before going to follow them.
(Upstairs)
Charlie stopped at her bedroom door, reaching for the door before stopping and sighing. She then took out her phone and went through one album in particular. She brought up one picture and stared. It was a family photo that had her, both her parents, and all her siblings, Charles appearing as a toddler, all smiling and genuinely looking happy together.
The longer she looked, the more sadness formed on her face. Her eyes watered before squinting and choking up as the tears ran down her face before she slid down the door, hugging her legs to her face before sobbing quietly.
"Charlie?" She heard before looking up and seeing Vaggie.
"I… I'm sorry… I…" She says as she stands up before turning away. "I'm not just scared that we'll lose, I… I screwed things up with my family."
"Charlie don't say that."
"No, it's true. I miss my mom and I didn't know how to act, I was… sad and… I was scared then too. And instead of staying to help them grieve like a big sibling should I just focused on myself and… left them… alone… and even worse I hurt my dad the most. I…" She says before covering her face. "I really am selfish."
Okay, no OCs talking to each other for this segment, and no skipping over the song. Ash may not be singing but, this song deserves to be here.
(Song: More than Anything Reprised)
Vaggie: You've already done so much,
Charlie looked back in surprise as Vaggie walked up to her while singing.
So many lives you've changed,
So many souls you've touched.
Vaggie put her hand on her cheek while gently pulling her away from the door.
And in theend,if it's onlyme you've saved.
Charlie & Vaggie: There's something that I'vebeen dying to say
More than anything, more than anything
Need you to know I love you more than anything
More than anything
(Song over)
The song ended with them kissing each other lovingly.
Ash was just around the corner, sitting with his back against the wall, having heard everything. He was quiet, his head was down with only his hair covering his face, a single tear managing to reach his jaw and run down to his chin. He inhaled and exhaled quietly before wiping his face, and then standing up.
"I don't deserve either of you." He says quietly before turning to leave.
But before he could react, he was suddenly grabbed by the shoulder and spun around before being pulled down and feeling two sets of lips on his.
"Don't say that." Charlie says as the two smile at him.
"Yeah, come on. You're really gonna say that? You've been a big help for us too." Vaggie says while playfully elbowing him.
"Ash…" Charlie then put a hand to his cheek. "I don't want either of you to feel like a third in this. You're a part of our relationship now, and no matter what… you deserve to be part of it."
Ash took a moment before smiling and pulling them into a hug. They smiled at each other before hugging him back.
(The next morning)
"Come back." Ash says while recalling some of his Pokemon into their Pokeballs.
"Heh, I'm gonna miss you little fuckers. Shame you can't join me in kickin' ass again." Cherri says while petting Gible and Oshawott before the shark starts nuzzling against her thigh. "Yeah… can't wait to see you next time."
Oshawott then looked over and wandered up to the cat guy, climbing onto the counter. "Osha…" The otter says sadly.
"It's okay, bud. I'll see ya after this." Husk says while petting his head.
"Oshawott." The Pokemon sighed.
"Don't worry. You can come back soon. For now, return." He then says while calling him back to the ball.
"It's okay, buddy. I know." Charlie says while petting the dragon with Razzle and Dazzle. "It's for your own good though."
Charizard let out a sad roar before she petted him for another second. That didn't make the trainer feel any better about returning the fire type to his Pokeball.
"Well, it's been nice seeing you once again. I apologize for not being able" Pentious says while sitting with Snivy and then petting her. "I hope we will meet again after this."
"Snivy." The Pokemon says while patting him before she is recalled.
"I can't wait to see you again!" Niffty says while hugging Gible who looks happy. "When you get back, we will finally kill every single bug here."
"Okay, maybe we shouldn't use kill like that. Come on, Gible." Ash says while recalling the small shark.
"Hey, Ash, uh…" Angel says while walking up to him with his pig. "Can you take Fat Nuggets with you and let him stay in your world during all this? Just to be safe from all this."
"Uh… ya know what, why not?" Ash says before taking the pig who squealed.
"This is just for your safety, buddy. Don't worry." The spider demon says while petting him.
"I was gonna ask if you could also take Keekee with you. She can't really fight." Charlie says while bringing her cat to him.
"Yeah, I will." Ash says as the cat jumps onto his shoulder.
"Don't worry. You can come back once this is all over." The blonde continued while petting the cat.
"Right. Now I'm gonna be off. I'll be back in a hot second."
"Better hurry, the Extermination is only in a few hours. If we don't have our star player, then… things might not turn out okay." Alastor then says. "After all, these deadly angels won't hesitate to kill-"
"Alastor! We get it, okay. You don't gotta keep trying to make us feel bad." Vaggie tells him.
However, his words seemed to reach something. Almost in an instant, one of Ash's Pokeballs burst open, startling the others before Charizard materialized and roared with pride.
"Charizard, what are you doing? Get back in your ball." Ash says before grabbing the ball.
He then tried to call the dragon back, but he jumped out of the way of the beam. He then jumped up avoiding it again and continued to dodge the beam as his trainer was getting frustrated.
"Come on!" Ash says before stopping as the dragon lands in front of him. "Charizard, you can't fight with us." He says before the dragon roars with pride again. "Please, just go back. We can meet up again afterward."
"C'mon, let the guy stay. We could use him." Cherri says.
"I don't want him to pick up any violent tendencies."
"Who the fuck cares?"
"I care!"
"Well, she is not wrong. We could use some extra muscle. After all, who knows how tough these angels will be?" Alastor says while smiling widely.
"We can handle this on our own." Ash says before looking back at the dragon and holding out the Pokeball. "Come on, please."
Charizard stared at him, then looked at the ball. Then he looked over at Razzle and Dazzle who looked worried. He looked back, then huffed through his nose. Seeing that, the boy only sighed.
"You're not gonna listen to me are ya?" Ash asks as the dragon just nods. "Ugh… okay. Fine, you…" He says, frustrated without the energy to argue. "Look, you can… you can fight with us, but… you can't go killing anyone. Just immobilize any angel you come across and let the others do the killing. Okay?" He asks as the dragon takes a second before nodding. "Okay, thank you." He says before the other two dragons fly up and nuzzle against the Pokemon.
"WOO! Fuck yeah!" Cherri cheered.
"Someone's inherited your stubbornness." Vaggie joked while nudging the boy.
"Yeah, sadly you can't argue when he gets like this." Ash says.
The Morningstar siblings were coming downstairs, getting ready to leave for the day. Cecilia was sober now and was keeping her head down. Charlie noticed and went over to them, stopping them in their tracks, her sister looking annoyed again.
"Look, guys, I…" She started before pausing to gather her words. "I really am sorry for leaving you like I did. I've had time to think of what happened." She says before rubbing her neck. "I know I shouldn't have left you all after Mom left and I do regret doing it, especially knowing how Dad felt. I don't have a good excuse for this." She says as Cecilia's expression softened a bit.
"Hey, it's uh… it's not a…" The youngest started to say.
"Don't defend me, Charles." Charlie tells him as he looks down, dejected. "I don't have time to make up for all I've done, but after the Extermination if we do survive, I will make up for what I've done."
After that, Charles smiled. Then Cecilia walked up to her, staring into each other's eyes for a moment. Then she reeled her arm back, which made their brothers and everyone else alert… before the princess was instead embraced in a hug. The shock made the others back off and watch the scene unfold.
Charlie was surprised and caught off guard before she heard quiet sobbing. Then the younger blonde tightened her hug.
"You… You better keep… keep to your word." Cecilia choked up before burying her face into the older blonde.
"I will." Charlie says while rubbing her back.
"... I still… I'm still angry with you."
"I know."
Hearing that, the others sighed in relief, knowing there wasn't gonna be something dramatic starting now of all times. Charles smiled and then ran up before joining in the hug. Connor walked calmly to them and joined in as well. Ash smiled, happy to have one more happy sight before what was to come.
(Later that night)
It was about an hour before the Extermination and everything was prepared. Charlie was wearing a battle outfit alongside Vaggie, however, instead of her pitchfork, she was wielding a shield for defense.
"Alright, looks like things are set." The princess says before looking up at the balcony. "Connor, you all set!?"
"Yep!" Connor says while in his sniper uniform, clicking his rifle. "All good here!"
She nodded before looking at the entrance. They were surprised when they saw Ash coming out while wearing the hat he got the day before and what looked like a heroic outfit with a cape, gloves, and boots.
"Woah, you went all out, huh?" Vaggie asked.
"It's a replica of the outfit Sir Aaron wore, a hero from my world. When I first learned about aura, I learned what he did to help people. This is something I'm going to attribute to him." He explained to them. "As much as I'd like to make a staff replica, I think I'll be fine with this." He says while showing the collapsable sword.
"So, you changed your mind about killing?"
"Only as a last resort. At best I hope I'll get through with just using this for defense."
"Pika." They hear before looking down and seeing the two Pokemon appear at his side.
Roar!* Then Charizard appeared, ready for battle.
"Right. Remember the plan, immobilize any angel you come across, and let the others do their thing. Got it?" Ash asks as the three nods.
"Good idea." Charlie says before looking up at the light in the sky. "We're gonna need all the help we can get no matter how little or big."
"Yeah, well, haven't been in a proper fight before. Guess this is as good a chance as any to put my training to good use." He says before thinking for a second before tapping the girls on their shoulders. "One more thing. After this, I have something I wanna do for you."
"What is it?" The blonde asked.
"It's to…" He caught his words before he continued. "I'll tell you afterward."
"... Okay. Got it." Vaggie says.
"We'll wait." Charlie explains.
He nodded as they did as well. He then looked back at Alastor who was looking at the sky as well, preparing to disappear into his shadows.
"Wait, Alastor!" Ash called, causing the Radio Demon to stop as he walked over to him. "Hey, you got everything prepared?"
"Yes, my shield is ready to hold them for however long I can." Alastor tells him.
"Okay, good."
"... Ya know, I couldn't help but notice you avoiding me lately." The Radio Demon says, getting the boy's attention. "It's not very polite. And frankly, hehe, I feel rather hurt because of it."
"Right, uh… I'm sorry. After the whole thing with hearing voices months ago, I just… might've been a little paranoid."
"What thing about voices?" Alastor asks while tilting his head.
"I haven't told…? Right, I never told you. Look, when I was kidnapped by the Vees, I heard this voice in my head and… I just thought it was you."
"Odd, I was at the hotel the whole time. You can ask Niffty, she saw me there."
"Okay, well it doesn't matter, I just wanted to get that off my chest."
"I see." Alastor says before adjusting his bowtie. "Is there anything your aura could do to help us?"
"I can also form a barrier but… if I power your shield with my aura, they could ditch the hotel and attack the others in the city. Although, if we could keep your shield up for long enough, we'll be able to last… hopefully."
"Very well, then. I wish you luck."
"You too."
With a nod, Alastor left in his shadows. Riolu saw the interaction and looked annoyed, but there wasn't anything he could do. They had bigger fish to fry.
(Somewhere in Heaven)
"Extermination Day is here, bitches." Adam says as he stands in front of many exorcists while wearing a… slightly different outfit from his original. "We're going to go down and exterminate demon ass!"
"Destroy that ass!" Lute says.
"Tear it wide open!" Tenant followed.
"Prepare to slaughter every sinner in that shit hotel." Adam continues. "And you all remember Vagie!?"
Hearing her name, the exorcists all booed and said stuff about how they hated her and whatever.
"Rip Vagie's cunt mout out her ass!" Lute then yells.
"Did you just…" Adam says, weirded out. "C-chill Lute, fuck." He says before clearing his throat and regaining his composure. "And anyway, there's one more guy to take care of. You see this kid?" He then says while whipping out a picture of Ash.
The exorcists started to cheer before they all stopped as they started to get a good look at him.
"Wow…" One says.
"He's kinda cute." Another says.
"Wha-NO! He's with them and Vagie!" Adam yelled, baffled.
"I mean, boo! He sucks!" One starts.
"Yeah, we hate him too!" Another says before the rest start doing the same.
"That's better." Adam says before putting the picture away. "Now, he's gonna be a sinner down there, so if you one that looks close to him, that's him. When you find him-"
"Rip his dick off and shove it down his throat before ripping his bowels out and strangling him with them while he chokes on his own COCK! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Tenant shouts before laughing hysterically… only to slowly stop and for his smile to fade before he clears his throat and straightens up.
"... Seriously, what the fuck is with you two?" Adam says, Lute secretly writing down what the other exorcist said. "Anyways, whoever can bring me either of their heads will get… uh… I don't… a million Heaven bucks." He says as the exorcists cheer again. "Haha, yeah! Ladies, let's fuck shit up. ATTAAAAAAAAACK!" He then called while pointing as a portal to Hell opened up.
(Back in Hell… again)
"Here they come." Vaggie says while standing proud. "Get ready everyone. We fight together!" She says before looking at Charlie.
The blonde was holding her stomach, knowing what was to come before they looked at each other. They nodded and got ready.
(Meanwhile, elsewhere)
"Oh, oh, oh… oh this is gonna be good!" Vox says as he sits on a couch with the other Vees while eating popcorn… somehow.
"6K says the human dies." Valentino says while blowing smoke.
"I'll take you up on that." Velvette says.
(And elsewhere again)
"Alright, everyone." Arceus says as he has the creation trio with him. "Remember, do not interfere unless needed."
"I'll decide what I do." Giratina says with a pure focus on one angel in particular.
(Back at the hotel)
"Now! FOR YOUR SOULS!" Vaggie yells as everyone unleashes a war cry as the angels approach.
"Let's fuck them UUUUUUUUP!" Charlie shouts as everyone runs to fight.
The leader and his lieutenants stay back to get a show of their own. Many of the exorcists picked some off, but some were caught lacking and bit the dust. Ash looked at two of his Pokemon and nodded. He then created an Aura Sphere as Riolu started adding to it, making it larger. Alastor was watching from atop the building and smirked, waiting for his turn.
Once the sphere was big enough, Ash chucked it at the angels. Then Pikachu charged up and fired Thunderbolt at the sphere, causing it to explode and hit just about every angel close to it, causing them to fall while twitching, paralyzed.
"Good job guys!" Connor says before he starts firing shots.
"What the fuck was that!?" Adam yelled in anger.
"It's an ambush, sir!" Tenant yelled before getting smacked.
"I can see that, dumbass!"
Alastor then chuckled. "Let the slaughter begin." He then waved his microphone.
And just like that, a large black and green dome surrounded the entirety of the hotel. Some angels who were idiots just flew into the barrier, their blood staining it, while the ones inside were too caught off guard before one got hit with one of Cherri's explosives.
"The fuck!?" Adam says.
"They appear to have some kind of shield, sir!" Lute says.
"Oh really? I couldn't see this giant fucking shield in front of me, YOU DUMB BITCH! NO SHIT!"
As the remaining angels outside were looking for a way in, one suddenly got sliced in half. Then many tendrils start to appear and start swinging around angelic axes, slicing up more.
"Wait, that's how they're killing us!? With our own weapons!?" Adam says, baffled. "... Well that's just lazy writing."
AF: HEY FUCK YOU! Records of Ragnarock Adam was better!
Inside the barrier, the chaos continued, many of the exorcists getting gunned down, most who were confused being taken out easy.
"Come'n get some!" Angel called while shooting out before throwing his friend into the air.
"Eat shrapnel, fuckers!" Cherri yelled as she threw bombs at the angels.
"All angelic weapons, fire at will!" Pentious called out as the canons next to him went off.
"Hey, yelling while fighting doesn't help!" Husk calls out.
Niffty then runs around and starts stabbing the paralyzed angels on the ground… and some that were already dead.
Ash was sticking to his word, using either the sword he was given to defend attempted strikes and kicking the angels back for someone else to take care of. Pikachu stuck to paralyzing his opponents with his electricity, and Riolu was merely speeding around the angels while throwing punches and kicks, sending them to people who would kill them.
Charizard was going around, knocking down exorcist after exorcist, sending punches, using his flamethrower to get them out of the sky, and mostly throwing them at others with the weapons.
One exorcist snuck up and raised her sword high, bringing it down on the dragon's neck. However, instead of chopping off his head like she'd hoped, the blade just shattered into several pieces. She looked at the hilt in shock before seeing Charizard slowly turn his head to her while growling. She laughed nervously as she started to back away… before being hit with one of Connor's bullets.
"Got your back, man!" The blonde called out as the dragon nodded before continuing to battle.
"Alastor's shield is working!" Charlie says happily.
"Trying to focus, sweetie." Vaggie tells her as she is fighting off some of the exorcists.
"We might actually have a chance!" The blonde says enthusiastically before Vaggie throws her spear at the angel behind her.
"Love the optimism. Still trying to focus." She says while retrieving her spear.
"I'm fucking over this." Adam says before reeling his arm back.
He then flew straight for the barrier and punched it with all his might. That caused the shield to disintegrate, allowing more angels to fly in.
"Oh no." Ash says as he sees it happen.
Adam huffed a bit, smiling as he floated down, only to spot his first encounter at the top of the hotel.
(Vee's place)
"Oh fuck!" Vox laughed as he got up before thrusting his hips. "I am so HARD right now!"
TK: … and you wanted to invite him as a cohost.
AF: You think you have room to talk?
"Greetings, Adam. First man, next to die." Alastor says confidently.
"Who the fuck are you?" Adam asks.
"Alastor, a pleasure to be meeting you, quite a pleasure…" He says before slamming his mic down, summoning tendrils. "I'm about to end your fucking life."
"Nice voice. Don't you know jazz is for PUSSIES!" Adam says while summoning an angelic guitar axe and charging in.
Alastor sent his tendrils at the angel which he sliced up. The Radio Demon proceeded to wag his finger before avoiding the upcoming attack. More tendrils were summoned to attack.
"You really think you can take me on?" Adam says as he was swiftly dodging and slicing the tendrils like nothing. "A mortal soul has no chance against me, edge-lord!"
"You should know better than anyone what a soul can accomplish when they take charge of their own fate." He says as his shadow goes up to the angel and comes out of the ground, hitting him in the chin and making him recoil back, leaving behind a mini demon.
"Oh, you think you're tough shit?" Adam asks while killing the critter.
"Tougher than you." Alastor continued to mock before laughing as he avoided the next few attacks. "You lack discipline, control, and worst…" He then jumps back before floating in the air as many smaller demons appear below him. "You're sloppy!"
"And you're-GH! Fuck! Fuck!" Adam says as he was being overwhelmed and about to flee. "Fuck you, you piece of red-FUCK!" Many still clung to him. "Too much fucking-!" He quickly got them off only to be grabbed by another tendril and slammed into the lit-up logo. After that, he flew up in anger. "I'm gonna wipe that shit-eating grin off your face." He then made his weapon grow larger. "Cause radio is FUCKING DEAD!" Then he brought it down, causing a short but bright flash.
"What just happened?" Alastor says without his filter before finding that his microphone was broken in two. "Fuck."
The next thing he knew, Adam finally landed a hit on his chest, sending him back. Alastor crashed into the wall and fell like a ragdoll.
(Vees' place)
"YES! Fuck you, Alastor!" Vox cheered before laughing as he jumped on the table. "This is better than SEX!"
TK: …
AF: … Okay, I might be reconsidering my last statement.
(Hotel)
Alastor coughed as he got up, blood leaking from his chest, but he still glared at the angel with his grin. "Have to disagree with you there… Radio's not dead… but is ending this broadcast." He says before disappearing in the shadows.
"Hehe, bye bitch!" Adam says while wiggling his fingers.
(Between time and space)
"Aw, I was hoping he'd last longer." Dialga says in annoyance.
"Sadly… I did too." Palkia also says.
(Vees' Tower)
"NO! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU! PUSSY!" Vox shouted in anger.
TK: Bitch, I don't see you fighting out there! Full assault plan my ass!
AF: Tai, Chill!
(Hotel)
"Right flank advance!" Pentious calls out from the balcony. "Left flank, watch your six!"
Connor then fires another round before emptying and reaching for another mag, not finding one. "Shit! Snake guy, I need a refill!"
"Coming up!" Pentious says while sliding over a pack. "Ladies! There are more coming on your right! Get ready Vagatha!"
"Not my name, but got it!" Vaggie says while charging forward.
Charlie hit one with her shield. "Sorry!" She then dusts in one's face. "Sorry!"
"Now's not the time for that babe!" Vaggie tells her.
"Look out!" Ash called before jumping behind them, blocking one before punching it hard enough to send it flying back.
"Right!" Charlie says before seeing a group fly over them. "DIE MOTHERFUCKERS!" She then shot fireworks that made them scatter.
Sadly one of the eggs wasn't so lucky as he was slaughtered in front of another. That egg was crawling back scared before Angel got in front and blocked the attack before lighting the bitch up. Pikachu saw another about to get attacked and jumped in while hitting the angel with an Iron Tail, sending her into one of the spears of the cannibals.
"Where is he!?" Tenant yelled while looking around as he held up a spear. "He should be here!" He says before hearing an explosion.
"Suck my holy light FUCKERS!" Adam yells as he blasts the hotel.
"Sir, I can't find the kid anywhere."
"Well, he probably ran like a fucking coward." Adam says while still blasting.
Ash quickly blocked one attack coming at the girls, sending them crashing to the ground.
"But Alastor was supposed to…" Charlie started to say. "Oh no, he must've-"
"Charlie! Move!" Connor called out before Ash quickly pulled them away from the light attack.
"Dammit! Not now." The boy says.
"We aren't gonna last long unless we do something about him." Vaggie says.
Pentious heard and looked up at his ship. "Of course."
"Ugh, he's moving too fast. I can't get a hit on him." Connor says before Pentious brings over another box of mags and pushes it to the younger blonde.
"Here! You're gonna need these."
"Uh… thanks?"
Cherri then jumps up planning to attack before the snake grabs her. "I'm trying to fight! You out of your fucking mind?" She says in annoyance.
"Yes."
Then Pentious goes for the kiss, causing her to drop her bomb that blew up behind them. The blonde looked shocked.
"Cherri Bomb… I love you! Remember me!" Pentious then ran off.
"That was kinda hot." The cyclops says while brushing a piece of hair behind her… ear?
"Uh… where is he going, exactly?" Connor asks with a worried expression.
Charizard flew around grabbing most of the angels before slamming them down to the ground in a pile and flying up for the cannibals to kill. Then he looked back as did a few more people, shocked to find Pentious' ship leaving the hotel.
"Is… is Pentious…" Ash says as he watches.
"That crazy motherfucker." Angel says.
The ship got close to Adam, the ray was powering up to shoot him, and… Adam just blasted the whole thing away in an instant like it was nothing before chuckling.
"NOOO!" Charlie screamed in dread.
The remaining members of the hotel watched in silence at what they had just seen, some crying on the spot from what they witnessed, Charlie falling to her knees as Vaggie went to comfort her.
Ash stared, mouth agape, and his eyes wide. Pentious was gone… just like that. Unable to even fight or use his greatest trump card… unable for anyone to say goodbye knowing that, he looked down… his hat obscuring his face, and his grip tightening on his sword.
Charlie growled in anger and stood up. "Razzle, Dazzle!" She then called before being enveloped in a vortex of fire, assuming her true demon form with her pitchfork and the two dragons took full-size.
After that, she and Vaggie got on each other and charged into the air. As they did, Charizard stopped and looked up. Before they could do anything, Lute slit Dazzle's throat causing Vaggie to descend along with him as the angel then flies down and slams him into the hotel. The second Charizard saw it, his face turned to rage before he roared out and flew off.
Vaggie lands, making sure it is on her back instead of her belly as Lute pulls her sword out of Dazzle.
"Before I kill you…" The exorcist says as she marches forward. "I'm gonna tear that other eye out-"
Before she could finish she was suddenly body slammed into the ground, startling Vaggie. As Lute started to recover she saw Charizard above with a raging fire in his eyes. She first attempted to strike him before he grabbed her hand, stopping it, then stabbing into her left arm, causing her to scream in pain.
Before she could finish screaming the dragon began wailing on her, blow after blow, completely destroying her mask as gold blood started to fly from her now exposed face. Before he could continue further he felt something hit his back.
"HAHA!" Tenant yelled as he flew in while holding the blast. "Take that you overgrown-!" He starts to say before seeing Charizard look back, not with pain, but wrath, and his face drops. "Oh shit. Oh shit! OH SHIT!" He stopped blasting and flew away quickly as Charizard flew after him.
Vaggie watched it happen before hearing a scream of pain and watched in horror as Lute, instead of pulling the sword out, just ripped her arm off entirely and stumbled to her feet. She then looked at Vaggie in both pain and anger before ripping her sword out of the ground. The one-eyed woman just held her fists up, ready for a brawl.
(Outside)
"Vaggie! No!" Charlie calls as they try to go down to help them.
"SURPRISE BITCH!" Adam appeared in front of her and backhanded the dragon, sending her crashing into the logo and rolling on the roof.
"Shit! Shit! Get away from me!" Tenant shouted as he flew away as best as he could while firing beams.
It did no good as Charizard slammed him into the ground next, causing him to squirm as he was ready to blast him with fire.
"Charizard!" Ash called, making him stop. "Go help Charlie. I'll deal with things down here."
The dragon looked at the angel below him, then roared in his face before getting off and flying above. Pikachu and Riolu were looking worried as they backed up.
"Pikachu… Riolu…" Ash says, getting their attention. "Forget what I said about no killing." He says as they look surprised. "Do what you have to do."
The Pokemon noticed a difference in the way their trainer spoke that made them worried. However, after what they saw, they nodded at each other and the electric mouse continued in the battle as the jackal took one of the spears.
(On the roof)
"Risking your immortal life for sinners?" Adam says as he flies down to the princess. "That's some crazy shit. Even for Lucifer's brat."
"These sinners are my family." Charlie tells him as she struggles to stay up.
"These sinners are my family." Adam repeated back mockingly. "Do you even hear yourself? You should've stayed-"
And he was interrupted when he was slammed into the other ledge of the hotel by Charizard. Before the dragon could get another hit in, Adam slipped away before dodging a Flamethrower.
"Holy fuck!" He yells while using his holy blast, seeing it didn't work before he kept firing it which seemed to be holding the dragon back. "How many of these dragons do you fucking have, bitch-?" Before he could finish Charlie stabbed him in the shoulder before swinging him into the skylight and making him fall down.
"That's Princess of Hell to you, pig!" She growled a him.
"The fuck! You actually hurt me!?" Adam says as he looks at the blood before seeing Charizard appear behind her looking angry. "You gotta be kidding me."
(Meanwhile with the others)
"Oh, sending your big bad dragon to do everything." Tenant says as he stands up while drawing his spear. "You know, he may have bested me, but Adam, HA! He ain't lasting too long."
Ash didn't say anything. Only glowed brightly before raising his hand. Then swords of aura formed before he made a fist, and they all went flying hitting every exorcist close by in the head and killing them instantly, making the cannibals fighting cheer.
"What the…" The angel says in shock as he looks around.
Then as he looked back, Ash lifted his head, revealing his face of anger. Tenant's eyes widened under the mask as he remembered that blue glow in those eyes.
"Y-you're alive… n-no. You're supposed to be dead." He says in disbelief. "T-there's no way you survived-H-HOW!?"
Ash didn't say anything, only raising his sword towards him. The angel stared before growling in frustration as he charged.
He swung his spear at the boy everywhere he could, but no matter what, Ash always blocked, not moving the rest of his body as he was locked on. Tenant looked shocked but swirled down and almost hit the boy, but he was gone in an instant and the next thing he knew he got punched so hard the side of his mask broke sending him rolling across the ground.
Tenant coughed before looking up. "No, no, no! GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!" He shouts as he blasts holy light at the boy.
Ash stumbled back a bit when hit as his hat flew into the air. Tenant laughed when he stopped, only for his smile to drop when the dust settled, revealing Ash not damaged in any way, but the side of his outfit torn open and revealing a bit of his body.
Another exorcist was about to kill a cannibal from behind before getting distracted. "Woah." She says as the cannibal looked at her, then looked at the boy and gawked. "Look at that."
"Yeah…" The cannibal says while drooling… before she blows the angel's head off with her shotgun.
Ash walked up to the cat angel and stared down at him in anger as the angel only had one thing to say… "... Mother."
(Inside the hotel)
Lute shouted in pain as she stumbled back, rushing forward and attempting to attack only for Vaggie to dodge and kick her away making her stumble again. Before she could link, Vaggie hit her with a haymaker and a sucker punch. She didn't let up and tried to swing her blade, only to miss as the other woman kicked her leg out before grabbing her and swinging her over the shoulder, slamming her into the floor.
Vaggie then stepped back while drawing her spear. "Had enough?"
"This is bullshit." Lute says as she struggles to stand. "You're supposed to be weaker than me! If that stupid dragon-!"
She was interrupted as Tenant crashed through the wall, flying over her and rolling on the floor. "Oh… this is worse than any hairball I threw up."
"What the fuck!?" Lute yelled as she stumbled over to him. "What are you doing!?"
"It's not me! It's him!" Tenant yelled while pointing.
Lute looked back, then her eyes widened as she saw the boy walk in. "No…" She muttered before looking at the cat. "He's supposed to be a sinner. How the fuck is he still alive!?"
"I don't know!"
"Ash?" Vaggie says with concern as she sees the state he is in.
"I'm fine Vaggie." He says as he looks over the scene. "Glad you didn't need my help." He then says as she smiles.
"I just tried to attack him earlier, he didn't even fucking flinch." Tenant says in fear.
"Just shut up!" Lute says before taking a battle stance. "Get up and get ready to fight.
Tenant looked reluctant before painfully getting up and drawing his spear. Oh if they only knew they wouldn't last.
To be continued…
TK: Wait, what? I thought we were gonna do the whole fight.
AF: Yeah, change of plans. There's already a lot of words as is. I'm gonna make this a two-parter instead.
TK: Seriously?
AF: Yeah, there's supposed to be a 1 on 1 battle I had planned, and… if I included that in this, it's uh… yeah. Look, to everyone here, I'm sorry to cut this episode into two chapters. Stay tuned for part two, cause it's gonna be better than you think.
TK: … Alright, I'm just gonna head out then. See y'all the next chapter.
