Orion was excited she was packing her bags. "Okay, where is it, do I get everything situated?" Orion asked herself as she saw all her bags in order. She had various items. From the daily change of clothes to a change of scarf. She sighs and throws it off.
"I think I got my shit in order." With that, she headed off, and she noticed that opening her door, Cell stood he seemed unsure. Orion lowered her bag.
"Cell, what's going on?" Orion asked.
"I need to talk to you." Cell said Orion, concerned, allowed him in.
"Come in." Orion closed the door after him, and he sat on her bed. She looks mildly concerned.
"Look, about yesterday. I… Fucked up." Cell rubbed his face in embarrassment.
"Oh, you mean… Ah…" Orion hums.
"I should have taken your advice especially since you ended up drunk with my influence and…" Cell said.
"Look, Cell, I don't fault you, I should have let you guys have fun. It's not all about being serious. Who knows? Maybe… We won't actually sway King Yemma." Orion sighs.
"..." Cell felt unsure, and looked down.
"I… Look, Orion. You're going to do good, you're gonna end up helping us. I… Hell, you helped me a lot more than anyone else." Cell said, "Just by you doing this whole operation… You're pouring work and effort into it. More than anything I can dream of happening. I really give it to you for wanting to help us."
Cell blushed and looked down, and looked back up. "Trust me."
"Cell, I appreciate it." Orion nodded, and she looked towards him, "I will see you after the meeting." She said.
"Of course, tell me everything." Cell nods, and Orion walks out with the suitcase, and she arrives at Fu's lab.
"Fu~!" Orion calls. Fu, sighs annoyed and removes his glasses. He occasionally wore them for important projects.
"What is it?" Fu asked, annoyed.
"I was wondering, if you would like to come with me to the Otherworld? I plan on going to a meeting with King Yemma, and… The exterminators and I need you present." Orion smiled. Fu's face paled. And looked down.
"I don't think that's a good idea…" Fu said.
"Why not? I really need your support and-" Orion began.
"Why can't you just ask Cell? He supports you more than me." Fu explained.
"No! I need you, I consider you my friend, now let's get going." Orion pulled Fu and he dropped a vial and he grunted.
"I must implore you, Orion. I can't do this, and-"
"Orion! Zere you are! I was looking for you! Oh! Is Fu coming along?" Said the voice of Goz, Orion nodded.
"Of course, he's coming along with me." Orion proudly said.
"Wunderbar! We're currently expecting a portal to arrive…" Goz began. The portal then appeared, "Now!"
With that, Goz immediately shoved both Orion and Fu into the portal as they fell in. Orion yelped, and Fu struggled to get up with one arm. And Orion pulled him up. "Oh! We're… Back at King Yemma's office?" Orion questioned.
"Orion, I really think we shouldn't be here-"
"Fu! Come on this is my only chance to plead Redemption! Come on!" Orion pulled on Fu's arm, being dragged away. Orion marveled at the room, having been in this room once and it was for unfair judgement. She stopped when a short female with black hair, black eyes, and red skin stopped her. She seemed to be giddy.
"Hi! Are you Orion?" She asked. Orion tilted her head.
"Yeah, what-" Orion began. The girl squeals.
"Hi! My name is Evelyn but people call me Liliac! I've heard so much about you! You have no idea!" Liliac smiled, and she shook Orion's hand furiously. She groaned, and shook her head.
"Nice to meet you Liliac, I am Orion, yes, and this is Fu-" Orion starts.
"Oh! Hello there! Welcome to the Otherworld! We are so glad to have you here, even if it's for a day! We just love visitors. We don't really get much from HFIL." Liliac walked around and started talking to Orion, who just nodded.
"Papa! They're here!" Lilac called, then the noise of King Yemma rose. She gasps.
"He's your father?!" Orion asked.
"Mhm! My Mama isn't around much! So he's training me! I'm Princess Evelyn "Lilac" at your service!" Lilac bows. Orion was shocked.
"Ah, nice…" Orion said, King Yemma smiled.
"Orion, nice to see you again, come. Come. Azzy and Razzamoth are due to arrive soon." King Yemma said.
"Right…" Orion said. Following King Yemma, Orion felt Fu's arm around hers.
"Orion, I implore you, I don't think this is a good idea, ple-" Fu starts.
"Please, Fu. I know you're nervous but trust me." Orion brushes him off. Fu felt distressed but tried to pretend he was okay for the sake of Orion.
"It's been a long few months since I saw you. How's HFIL been?" King Yemma asked.
"...Well, I'd say it's… lovely." Orion said, King Yemma hums and the four walk past Azzy and Razzamoth who were gobsmacked. Razzamoth upon seeing Fu and Orion was preparing to kill them. But Azzy held him back.
"Sir, I don't think it's a good idea." Azzy said.
"Why's that?" Razzamoth asked.
"The probability of the residents and beings watching the Otherworld and by extension Heaven will not look well, we don't want King Yemma to look bad." Azzy said.
Razzamoth groaned and placed his sword away. "Just when I think I was going to kick some ass tonight, I get talked out of it by you, huh?"
"I am just looking out for you, Sir. Remember the deal we made for that kai? We need to keep following King Yemma's orders, and he'll be willing to continue giving us favors." Azzy said, Razzamoth rolled his eyes.
"That Kai is too obsessed with the Demon Realm, he has no choice but to, if he's willing to work along with us and provide us important things relating to the Gods, then we can convince King Yemma not to send him to HFIL for all he's done." Razzamoth took a sip of his drink.
"I see, but I implore you, sir, to try and act civilly around King Yemma and the others." Azzy said.
"Just for one night." Razzamoth leans into Azzy and places one finger up, "I'll act civil just for one night."
Azzy sighs. "Yeah, just for one night."
Just then, King Yemma appears.
"I do hope you boys are going to behave tonight." King Yemma said. Both Azzy and Razzamoth jump.
"Holy fuck, King Yemma…" Razzamoth said. "You scared me a little."
"I just want to know that whatever this Kai plans for you, you better be on your best behavior. There's a council from Heaven planning to spectate this, and I don't need you both to make me and by extension the Otherworld look bad." King Yemma said. Razzamoth nodded, and rubbed his head.
"Yeah, Yeah. I got it. No need, just leave it to me and Azzy!" Razzamoth said. King Yemma glared at them down and shrugged.
"If you say so. Just behave." King Yemma returned back to where he was. Azzy glances at Razzamoth trying to gauge his reaction. Razzamoth just simply went back to drinking from his cup.
Orion found herself in the Hotel, and she couldn't stop talking to Fu about how wonderful the Otherworld is.
"Fu, Lilac told me everything about Heaven, and she took me there to see it! It's so marvelous and beautiful and so perfect! Cell would love it up there!" Orion smiled.
"I see, Yeah, he probably would enjoy something perfect." Fu said, a little detached from the situation.
"And, we had plans like huge plans to go and see more things. I was wondering if you'd like to come and tour the Otherworlds exhibit with me and Lilac?" Orion asked, Fu sighs.
"Look, Orion there's something we need to talk about-" Fu began, but held his tongue not wanting to ruin Orion's day out.
"What do you need to talk about, Fu?" Orion asked.
Fu bit his lip. "Nothing. There's nothing, just that I feel sick and can't come right now…" Fu said. Orion frowns.
"Oh, well, I'll see you after the tour then!" Orion left the room, leaving Fu to place his hand on his leg in nervousness. He's been trying to find a way to tell Orion of his feelings and emotions but chickened out. He had a dark secret only he knew, and well… Cell knew too, but Cell had promised to not tell anyone. As Fu was thinking he heard the door being knocked on and his eyes darted to it.
"Orion, you can come in, you know? You don't have to knoc-" Fu began.
"Oh, trust me, we're not Orion, and we're never going to be."
