A/N: ...I have no words - NO excuses! - that could make up for forcing you guys to wait for so long. And for that, I am truly sorry.
HEELLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOO, FANFIC CENTRAL! IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK!
Alright folks, now I believe we're ready to go ahead with the main plot for the Hazbin Hotel canonverse...albeit with an assortment of changes. Some of which is the same, some of which are not!
Spoiler alert: five-day timeskip of HH series begins now!
*sigh* Okay, on with the story!

Chapter Six: Overture! The Fox and the First Man!
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll make you proud..."
Charlie Morningstar spoke to herself as she looked out at the aftermath of the latest Extermination Day, a book in her hand titled The Story of Hell. The young woman was currently sitting on a sofa in her own private room. She had just finished reading when she suddenly heard:
"Charlie?"
The Princess of Hell let out a startled yelp before swiftly turning around to find Vaggie standing in the middle of the room. "Oh, shit!" She cried, dropping her key which transformed into her familiar cat: KeeKee. "Did you hear all that?"
"Uh, yeah." The former Exorcist replied with a smile, pointing her thumb towards the doorway. "I was right there."
"Sorry," Charlie spoke as she turned to look out of her window. "I get pretty worked up after an Extermination happens...the story helps."
Vaggie chuckled as she walked closer to the blond princess. "I know, don't worry. I enjoy your theatrics." Her face took on a more worried look as the former Exorcist then asked: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Charlie reassured her girlfriend. "Just...thinking, y'know! Family stuff..."
"Did you hear from you mom yet?" The white-haired woman asked, only to get a headshake as a response. "Oof. How long has it been now?"
"Not that long." The Princess of Hell answered, though she was a bit unsure herself. "Only...seven...years off doing something important, I'm sure!~" As she was speaking, thje blond got up form her spot on the sofa and walked toward the large window. "But this kingdom was something she really cared about! Something I care about..."
"Well...at least you aren't alone." Vaggie assured her.
*knock!* *knock!* "This a bad time?"
The two young women turned to find Naruto standing at the entrance. The former shinobi was leaning on the doorframe, holding a large bowl of freshly-made ramen in one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other. Wearing an orange sleeveless shirt to compliment his black shorts, he looked on at the duo with a bemused expression. "Charlie? Vaggie? Anyone home?" He teased with a wide grin.
"...No." Vaggie replied with a straight face, although the tone in her voice was more playful in nature. "I was just checking up on Charlie. What brings you up here?"
"Nothing, really. I can only put up with Alastor's antics for so long before it starts to get irritating." The blond Sinner replied with a shrug. "Also, I figured that she could use a pick-me-up after today." He finished whilst extending one of his tails from behind his back to offer two more bowls of freshly-made ramen.
"Oh! Thanks, Naruto." Charlie quipped as she accepted the offered meal, using the chopsticks to begin slurping the delicious noodles. Letting out a pleased hum, the Princess of Hell set down her bowl only after emptying its contents before licking her lips. "Wow, I really needed that." she said. Sitting up straight, Charlie flashed her boyfriend a warm smile.
"No problem!" the whiskered blond replied with a grin. "And hey! Remember that we've got your back, no matter what. Okay?"
Charlie nodded immediately with gusto with a quick: "Yep!"
Happy that Charlie was in a good mood, Vaggie suddenly remembered why she was there. "Oh, right I almost forgot! Alastor said he had something to show us."
"Oh. Greeeeeeeeeaaaaat..."
"Naruto," Now Charlie turned to her fellow blond with a pout, "he already agreed to help us. Could you please just pretend to get along with him?"
"Not in a million years..."
"Naruto!"
"Alright, alright! But no promises, y'hear?!"
"Well hello there, you wayward Sinner! Do you like blood, violence and depravity of a sexual nature? Of course, you do! That's why you're in Hell! But what if I told you there was a place to stay that hiad none of that?! Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel, a misguided path to redemption! Founded five days ago by Lucifer's delusional daughter, Charlotte Morningstar! Come place your fate in her inexperienced hands, as she tries to work through her daddy issues by fixing you! Here we offer fun things! Such as: somewhat-functional staff! And 24-Hour pest control! Custom rooms and just look at this tacky parlor! Enjoy riveting conversations with our singular resident! Wow! All this and more at the Hazbin Hotel! Your last desperate attempt at salvation starts here!"
Turning off the television after a rather godawful attempt of a commercial, the Radio Demon turned to face Charlie, Vaggie and Naruto with his arms stretched wide. "So, what do you think?"
It was a good five seconds before Vaggie was the first to respond. "I'm sorry, what the fuck was that?!"
"Uh, yeah...one note!" Charlie dragged out, ever with an optimistic smile. "Alastor...I mean, first off: thank you so much for making this. Seriously, amazing! But, um..." Nervously the blond princess continued, "maybe the tone was a bit...off? We want people to want to come here! This makes it look...um..."
"Bad." The former Exorcist supplied. "The word you're looking for is bad."
"Funny, I was going for hilarious!"
"It didn't explain anything about how we're trying to save demons from Extermination, which is the whole fucking point!" The white-haired woman spat.
"Vaggie is right, Alastor." Charlie supported her girlfriend's rant, though in a more helpful tone. "The commercial was supposed to let Sinners know we are here to help them."
"Well, my dear," The Overlord began, "I haven't been active in Hell for some time! And everyone remembers me from my radio show - the PROPER medium to express oneself! But you insisted on this," Here he pointed his cane at the very dial-operated television the commercial was aired on earlier. "noisy picture box advertisement! So I had a little fun with it."
"Oh, fun? You had a little fun with it?" Vaggie was getting irritated by the Radio Demon's nonchalance manner. "Well, this is not what we want to represent us! When you showed up a week ago you told us you would help run this hotel, but instead you're mocking us! Nobody's gonna want to come to a place that a powerful Overlord like you thinks is a waste of time!"
"Vaggie, are you kidding? This is actually pretty great for someone like him!" And there was Naruto's off-handed comment.
"Whatever are you implying, foxboy?" The red-clad Sinner quipped back with a threatening undertone.
To which the former shinobi was all-too happy to reply with a helpful smile.
"I mean, let's face it: You're mostly a radio star, Alastor. It's your thing - I won't judge you for it. So for you to go out of your way to do this ad must've been really something else!" Naruto continued. "Shit, just a few more tweaks here, a little more planning there, and you'd be just as good as Vox! You've heard of him, haven't you?"
"...Didn't you call him a sleazy, shady, narcistic, third-rate attention whore that couldn't make good material to save his life?" The Princess of Hell asked the whiskered blond with a raised eyebrow.
"I did?" Gasping in faux surprise, Naruto scratched the back of his head as he gave the Overlord a toothy grin. "Eh, I'm sure he knows I didn't mean anything by it, right Alastor?"
"...Oh, I'm sure you haven't." His tone might have sounded polite, but the Radio Demon was going to enjoy making the whiskered blond suffer one of these days that much was certain.
"If you're filming a commercial," Angel Dust drawled, finally making his presence known from his place on the comfy loveseat. "can I suggest you take better advantage of the talented celebrity you have right here!"
Vaggie looked at him with a flat expression. "Angel, you're a pornstar..."
"A famous pornstar!" The spider-themed Sinner pointed out eagerly. "I'll have the horniest Sinners knockin' these walls DOWN to get in!"
"We're not filming a porn as a commercial!"
"Why not? Sex sells, don't it?" Angel questioned with a wink. "I swear: if you film me goin' at it with Mr. Fancy-Talk Creepy Voice here," he pointed his thumb at Alastor, who had seemingly teleported behind him. "you'd be rollin' in participants willing to stay in this tacky hotel!"
"Ha ha! Never going to happen!" The Radio Demon retorted.
"Angel, I appreciate you wanting to use your...special skills to...um...attract folks to the hotel." Charlie began nervously. "Buut...I really don't want to exploit you...! In that way."
"Oh please, baby~" The pornstar purred out, "this body was made to be exploited! I got the arms! I got the stamina! I got the legs! I got the LUNG CAPACITY! Ho ho~! I got the LEGS~!" Then Angel listed off the rest. "The gag reflex, the holes; the chest fluff everyone thinks are tits-"
Suddenly Charlie's phone started ringing beside her. "Uh, hold that thought..." When she saw who it was, she immediately got up and walked to a secluded area. "I'll be right back!"
"I can keep going all night, baby~!"
Turning around a corner into the main hallway, Charlie took a deep breath before answering her phone. "Hello? Dad?"
Back with the others, Angel decided to switch the topic. "Hey, I have a question," he started before waving his hand at Alastor, "if Freaky-Face over there is so powerful, they why can't he just make people stay here?"
"Performance issues?" Naruto quipped, causing the pornstar to stifle his laughter.
"Oh, trust me!" The Radio Demon assured before his entire visage took on a more demonic tone, gaining their attention. "I can..."
"Why do you think I'm here?!"
Turning around, the saw Husker tending the bar in his own nonchalant manner. "You actually think I'd be cleaning bottles and listening to you fucks bitch and moan all the time if he wasn't forcing me?"
Nifty, ever the demented housekeeper, piped up from beside the cat-themed Sinner. "I like being forced."
"Keep that to yourself, Nif..."
"What?" Angel started to tease, "You don't love bein' here with me, Whiskers?"
It only served to irritate Husker. "Call me 'Whiskers' again, and I'll jam that bottle down your throat...!" The gambler hissed.
"Kiinkyyyyyy~!" It did nothing to deter the four-armed Sinner. "C'mon, keep talking dirty~!"
"Angel if you keep irritating Husker, I'll tie you down to a chair and force you to eat Hawaiian pizza," Naruto threatened, "with EXTRA pineapples. AND ketchup."
"...Oh, you motherFUCKER!" Now the pornstar was PISSED. "I never should've introduced you to Italian food, ya hear?"
"And no, we can't force Sinners to stay here. They need to choose to." Vaggie cut off the impending arguement before it could even begin.
"I'm choosin' ta be here, and I think it's all stupid." The spider-like Sinner complained. "We're in Hell, toots! It's kinda the end of the road, ain't it?"
"Well, maybe it doesn't have to be!" The Fallen Angel reasoned. "Just because nobody ever made it out before, doesn't mean it's not possible."
The former shinobi nodded in agreement, there's no point in saying it can't be done when someone gives up on the first try. He could think of the number of people he managed to convince in his old life: Zabuza, Inari, Gaara, Nagato. Hell, even Obito counted amongst that number.
'But the Traitor is no longer worthy...' A dark, primal thought ran through the back of his mind, causing a wave of discontent to briefly appear on his face. 'We had a chance to build a better world for ourselves, and HE chose to destroy it...!'
Suddenly, Naruto picked up a sense of giddiness emanating from the main hall. 'I guess Charlie's phone call with her dad went well...' Despite Naruto knowing that the King of Hell had a tremendous amount of responsibility, it did him good to see the man at least call his daughter every once in a while - even if it was for errands. 'Her mom...that's another story...'
"VAGGIE, HOLY SHIT!" Charlie suddenly yelled, startling the white-haired woman briefly before calming down as she walked over to her girlfriend.
"What's going on?" She asked, seeing the bubbly princess jumping up and down - which did WONDERFUL things to her chest, much to Vaggie's and Naruto's delight! - before Charlie took a deep breath to calm herself.
"My dad just called!" The blond began. "He said that the leader of the Angel army-" *gasp!* "-wants to meet! He asked if I-" *gasp!* "-could go-" *gasp!* "-instead!"
This was news to Naruto, albeit a very worrying one. From what the pair had told him ten years ago, their had almost never been a meeting between Heaven and Hell so soon after an Extermination.
"But-but the Extermination just happened," The former Exorcist muttered, "What could they want this soon?"
"I smell a trap." Naruto stated, unsure of Heaven's intentions for the meeting. Gaining the Princess' attention, the former shinobi gave his reasons. "Look if it is the leader of those mass-murdering fanatics, chances are they're not gonna like your idea of redemption. What're the odds they won't use this meeting to their advantage?"
"But...I have to try, Naruto." Charlie pleaded as she looked into his eyes. "This idea...it was my lifelong dream. Surely you can understand that?"
"Charlie..." *sigh* Pinching the bridge of his nose, the whiskered blond let out a sigh as he relented. "On one condition," He told her, "I'm coming with you."
The pair of women gasped as even Angel stopped annoying Husker. Alastor looked on, his smile ever-present on his face.
"...Don't you still have that bounty on your head, Ninetails?" The bartender asked with a raised eyebrow as he washed the whiskey glasses.
After the Exorcist Massacre ten years ago, Heaven had made it their priority to bring in the former shinobi for questioning. Naturally they were never able to find Naruto themselves in the first place, so instead a bounty was issued to Sinners all over Pentagram City: absolute immunity from every Extermination for the capture and retrieval of "Ninetails" to the Heaven Embassy. Not that the blond Sinner felt that there was anyone crazy or strong enough to cash in that bounty, but he almost never left the safety of the hotel without a disguise.
"Husk, c'mon. It's me." He reassured the catlike Sinner. "They won't find me unless I wanna be found. And I have no intention on being found just yet."
"You would do that for me?" Charlie asked, stunned at her boyfriend's words.
"Charlie, have I ever let you down?" Naruto answered with a sly smirk. "And besides, it's just a meeting with the bigwig of the angel army! How bad could it be?"
Later at the Embassy...
'I take it back: this was a fucking mistake!' The blond Sinner miserably thought.
He was currently curled up on Charlie's lap within one of the conference rooms of the Embassy in his fox form, and to be honest he found the atmosphere to be quite...lacking. Plain faded soft colors weren't really his thing!
But what really pissed him off was the egotistic asshole sitting in front of them.
This angel wore a mask that appeared similar to other Exorcists, though with normal-looking eyes and golden facial expressions. The mask also held a pair of horns similar to an Exorcist, albeit longer, smoother, and with a golden ornamental attachment on the tips.
He also had a pair of large and golden wings on his back. His halo was bright gold in appearance, and similar to the Exorcists, has two spikes pointing up and down from each other.
He wore a smooth white and golden cloak that appears to have a large 'A' symbol emblazoned on the front. His visible hands were black in appearance, and had gold-tipped spikes on the back of his collar.
'Not to mention that the guy eats like a fucking pig...' The disguised Sinner thought as he watched the army leader decimate the entire plate of ribs as he was bragging about himself. 'FUCK! Does he EVER shut up!?'
"So I was playing this gig, and for some fucking reason this Virtue chick was digging on the drummer. And it's like: do you know who I am? I'm fucking Adam! I'm the Original Dick! All dicks descend from me! You think you want drummer dick? No way! I'm the dick-fucking-master!" The gaudy angel took a break from talking to eat more ribs. "So anyway, then we fucked. And it was awesome. What'd you do this weekend?"
"Wait, your name is Adam?" Charlie questioned, the gears starting to turn in her head. "Like, the First Man Adam? That means you-Oohhhhh..." Her face then morphed into one of slight disgust. "Thatexplainssomuch..."
"I know, I fuckin' rock."
'More like you fuckin' suck, but hey! Who's judging?' The former shinobi lamented as he yawned out of boredom.
"Well! Adam-Sir! Mister Adam-Sir-"
"Call me Dickmaster...!"
"No." This time Charlie insisted, slightly dropping the cheerful demeanor she was known for. "Just...just no."
"Well you can't win 'em all, right Lute?" The First Man asked his second in command, who was feminine in appearance and had worn an attire similar to other Exorcists save for the fact that the right pupil of her mask is a white circle with an X over it instead of a white X.
"Yes, sir."
'Tch. Suck-up...'
"Oooooookay, then!" The bubbly princess spoke up, scratching the disguised blond behind the ear so as to keep him calm. "Adam. You seem like a smart-well...stand-up guy!"
"Uh-huh."
"And I know that you are the leader of the angels! And that you are a big-thinker, a revolutionary! A genius!"
'Yeah I don't see ANY of that, Charlie...' Naruto thought to himself, although he could see the Exorcist leader taking in the compliments in stride.
"Who would really love to put his name on something!"
"I fuckin' love putting my name on shit!" Adam agreed, standing up from his seat. "Shit's the BEST!"
"It's the solution to our biggest problem!"
"Ah, right...herpes! Yeah, that's a bitch!"
'...Honestly, not gonna fucking lie. An egotistic prick he might be, but that's the truth!'
"No, our other biggest problem!"
"Oh, uh...ugly people?" The First Man asked, unsure as to what the princess was getting at. "Math! Global warming-no wait, that's Earth's problem..."
"No, our shared problem of OVERPOPULATION IN HELL!" Charlie was starting to feel herself loose her patience.
"Oh, that...Well, that's not a problem! We've got that covered!" Adam cheerfully answered, arms stretched wide open before turning to face his subordinate. "Lute, how many demons did you kill this year?"
"Merely a rough seventy-five this year, sir..."
Adam winced - actually winced! - at the number that was given. "Sheesh, not like how it used to be, huh?" Sighing in disappointment, he shook his head as he reminisced about how things used to be. "Time was each and every single one of my bitches would score in the triple digits at the end of Extermination. Now?" The Head Exorcist scoffed in disgust. "Stupid-ass limitations and shit, like how the FUCK was I supposed to know we'd lose two hundred people?! Which reminds me..." Now he glared at Charlie and the disguised Naruto, who was taking the amount of killing intent a WHOLE lot better than his girlfriend. Gone was the laid-back mocking nature that the Princess of Hell had seen when she first met Adam. "Where's Ninetails?" He growled in restraint.
"Uh...you mean the Sinner with the bounty on his head...?" Charlie nervously replied, visibly shaking at the sheer intensity. 'How does Naruto deal with this shit?!'
"Yes. That one." Lute growled, her fist clenched in barely-restrained anger.
"Um...why?"
"Because that whiskered sonovabitch owes me for what happened ten years ago! Or the fact that he made US look like a fucking joke!" Adam snarled, emphasizing his rage by slamming his fist on the table. "Fucking prick, thinking he's better than me! Really?! ME?! I'M THE FUCKING ADAM -THE FIRST FUCKING MAN! WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT BASTARD THINK HE IS?!" Taking a moment to calm down, The Head Exorcist sat back down in his seat. "No, no. I'm cool now. Anyways, me and the girls were thinkin' about moving up the timetable for the next Extermination - I'd say like, what, six months? Sound cool?"
'I knew this meeting was a sham...' Naruto grumbled to himself before closing his eyes. 'Although I'm somewhat happy that I left a lasting impression on the fucker.'
"Wait, what?!" The Princess of Hell exclaimed in shock. This was NOT how she thought this meeting was going to go! "But-but what about helping the Sinners redeem themselves?! They're souls -human souls! Surely they deserve a second chance?!"
"They deserved eternal damnation." Lute stated, walking closer to Charlie rather menacingly. To her credit, the blond barely even flinched with every step. "The only reason you're still here is because daddy gave you and your Hellborn kind a pardon from an Exorcist's blade." Circling around the princess, the vindictive woman continued. "How dies it feel, knowing how little you matter?"
In another life, Charlie Morningstar wouldn't have known exactly how to deal with this situation. And she would have desperately tried to push forward her plan to no avail. But thanks to Naruto's advice and support, the Princess of Hell knew better.
And she would not waste anymore time.
"Well, given the fact that otherwise you'd be possibly staring down one of the Goetia or the Sins, I'd say the thought barely bothers me." And Charlie looked the bitch in the eye when she meant those words, though she smirked inwardly when she felt the woman start to slightly bristle. "Remember: I'm the nice one in my family. And I was asked to come here to this meeting. But if all we're doing is running around in circles trading insults, then I see no reason to remain."
"...Excuse me?"
"You're excused." The normally-bubbly blond waved off, causing Lute to growl in frustration. "I may have wanted to push forward my plans of redeeming Sinners, but you were the one who wanted this meeting." Getting up from her seat, she made to leave as Naruto - still in his fox form - landed on the floor beside her. "But now we're just wasting time, so I'm leaving. Goodbye, Adam."
"Oh no you don't, bitch!" Here the First Man flew over in front of Charlie, barring my path. "You don't get to walk on out of here without my say so!"
It was only then that Naruto started growling, gaining the attention of the two angels.
"Okay, who the fuck let this flea-ridden mutt in here?!" Came Adam's outcry.
*gasp* "Phoxy!" Charlie cried out, using Naruto's alias in this form. "Settle down, you'll get us in trouble!"
"Allow me, sir!" Lute wasted no time in brandishing her blade at the disguised Sinner. "I'll be more than happy to kill it!"
"No, please! He hasn't done anything wrong!"
"This filthy mongrel DARED to desecrate a house of God!" The subordinate exclaimed, causing the fox to growl even louder.
But then those growls...soon turned to chuckles.
"God," He spoke, a deep and guttural tone that shocked and frightened the Exorcists. "Does not live here. This is an empty box."
"What the fuck?!"
"Demon filth!"
"No, wait-!"
*CLANG!*
Silence permeated the room as Lute began to register what happened. She had struck at the creature with her angelic sword...and the damned thing caught her blade with its teeth before shattering it.
"Hmph."Not liking the taste of metal shards in his mouth, Naruto spat out the offending material "Impure and brittle, like your faith..."
"FAITH?!" Adam was now getting pissed. "You wanna talk about faith?! I should've known you were a filthy Sinner! Tell me something, shit-stain: how do you think you deserve to get past the pearly gates?!"
"Oh, I have no intention on leaving Hell, bird." The fox smirked, much to Lute's ire. "Hence why I've decided to assist the Princess in her endeavors. Though I do not seek redemption, I will not refuse my services to those in need."
"LIAR!" The second-in-command snarled, throwing away her broken weapon in a fit of rage. "Everyone knows your kind has been damned to oblivion, with no possible hope of redemption! THERE IS NO REDEEMING SINNERS!"
"Lies?" Naruto mocked. "In your house of God?"
"Okay, that's enough!"
Charlie took the choice to end the conversation by grabbing the disguised Sinner and making her way out the door. "Well Adam, I'd say it was a pleasure meeting you, but I really need to get going - we've run out of time, and I'm sure you're busy~! - and again, I'm so sorry for Phoxy's attitudereallyhe'sniceonceyougettoknowhimandIhopeyouchangeyourmindaboutpissiblyredeeming-!"
"Let me stop you right there, save us all precious time~!" Adam started singing, cutting the blond's apology off. "If what your suggesting is letting them climb~!"
'Ah, fuck...'
Naruto really, really should've just stayed home at the hotel...
Later...
"SIX MONTHS?!" Vaggie all but screeched at the pair when they got back from the meeting. "They moved up the timetable in six fucking months?!"
"Well, obviously." Naruto replied, undoing his disguise the moment they entered the hotel. "The fat fuck and his little bitch only wanted to brag about themselves. there was no talking about anything."
"Oh, that's just great!" The Fallen Angel grumbled. "Because of this, we now have to worry about the Extermination deadline being cut in half and so far we don't have a single new guest for the hotel!"
"Uh, what the fuck am I?" Angel Dust rudely asked from his spot on the loveseat.
"A pain in my ass!"
"It's amazing to look at, toots!"
"AAAAGH!"
"Vaggie, try to calm down! It's okay, at least nothing else happened!" Charlie reasoned as she laid a hand on her girlfriend's shoulder. "Besides, it's not like we left empty-handed."
"Oho, interesting. Do tell..." Alastor chimed in.
"Well, to start," The bubbly princess cleared her throat, "Adam went on a rant about 'limitations on exterminatons', meaning that he's not really the one in charge. And yet he's the leader of the army, so whoever has that much influence over him must be pretty high up."
"Not to mention the deadline itself." Naruto added, getting their attention. "Vaggie's been in Hell for about as long as I have, and you guys have been around longer that the both of us. Those Exorcists would've jumped at the chance for two Exterminations in a row, wouldn't they?"
"Now that you mention it, it does feel weird that those Exorcists would wait for six months." Husk answered, rubbing his chin. "If anything, I'd expect them to come back within a week tops."
"Exactly. It wouldn't make sense for those murder-happy birds to wait six months when they could've picked any day they wanted, damn the deal with Lucifer." Naruto agreed. He could practically feel the negativity rolling off that one Exorcist - Lute, was it? - and her eagerness for bloodshed was appalling. "Adam's hiding something, and I'll bet my entire stash of ramen that it's damning."
"Hmmhmm, and the plot thickens~!" Cheerily, Alastor took a spoonful of his bowl of jambalaya. "Now the question begs, my dear fox: what could he be hiding? And who could be holding the First Man's leash?"
"Dunno," The whiskered blond admitted, "but I intend to find out..."
-End-Chapter-
Yet another chapter done and gone! But fret not: there will be an announcement befalling my other story, "Blade of Olympus"!
Stay tuned~!
And...!
CIAO FOR NOW~!
