Hi there, y'all, and here we are for the next chapter of Mario's adventure in Hell Kingdom. We take a look at the three V's and see what they're planning. And we also get to see what's happening at the Hazbin Hotel with Mario. So let's read on with the show!
Mario in Hell Kingdom
Chapter 6: Hell's Story and Plumbing Ad
In a specific region of Pentagram City, at the Pride Ring stood a large tower with pink and cyan-blue neon lights with three capital V's and a lipstick insignia in the middle at the top of the roof. This was the V Tower, the prime headquarters of the three head honchos of the estate: Vox as the chief ownership and tv broadcaster, Valentino as director and head of the porn studio, and Velvette as "the self backbone of the Vees." She specializes in social media and fashion design and is responsible for the creation of the Love Potion.
Here, we see the trio sinners in a private conference room, a dark blue room with huge glass walls of a shark tank with cybernetic sharks swimming in it. There was a long table with several black office chairs spreaded while a bigger dark-blue chair sat at the front of the long table, possibly belonging to Vox.
They all gathered for the important meeting Vox requested earlier when he was outside.
"Okay Voxy, you better have a good reason to drag me here. I was in the middle of making two idiots suck their d***s." Valentino scowled.
"I'm already f****n' late with some new inspiration to make new fashion wear for some s**theads. So make it quick!" Velvette gritted.
"At ease, you two. Now then, the reason I gathered you here is I have a special report about the arrival of new sinners." Vox announced.
"Is that all? That's your so-called "special report?" I thought you knew sterner stuff, Big V." Velvette snarled.
"I was getting to the interesting part. So f**k you for your unnecessary interruption." Vox sneered back. "Anyway, I was heading out to look for some sinners to work for us, and guess who I stumbled into, Val?" he said to Vox with a smirk face.
"Hmm, is it my former employee, Angel Dust?" Valentino questioned snarky.
"Bingo, V Daddy!" Vox beamed. "And he wasn't alone, for there was that one-eyed b***h and a newly arrived sinner, or to be precise, a real, living human."
Once he revealed his report, both V's looked at Vox with a look of 'seriously' and 'don't f**k with me.' Normally, they wouldn't believe him without any proof, but since he's the main chief of the building, they had to show concern.
"A human? Here, in the depths of Hell?" Valentino was puzzled.
"Indeed." Vox pulled out a remote and clicked a button. A large TV screen came down in front of the V's. "Fellow patrons, you're about to see an astonishing performance by two demons and the newly human adversary!"
The TV started to turn on and now showed Angel, Cherri, and the human, Mario, duking out the centurion demon and his goons. They saw both demons firing and blasting all the demon goons, but that was nothing compared to Mario dodging many gun shots, his amazing jumping skills, his handsome mustache, and spawning interesting items in his arsenal. Then, the next scene showed Mario in his metal form, and both Angel and Cherri had new looks on their clothing and skin. They worked together to reduce the centurion demon into ashes and gain some valuables after that.
The presentation ended, and the large TV screen started rising back up. Then Vox turned back to his associates, and their faces were shocked at what had transpired.
"So what do you think? Pretty vicious, ehh?" Vox commented.
Valentino then smiled. "My my, I never thought my Angel Cakes would get help from someone that is human."
"So who is the human? He does have a nice marvelous mustache for a man." asked Velvette.
"From what I could decipher, his name is Mario, the famous hero of the Mushroom Kingdom." Vox recalled.
"Famous? Now, this keeps getting more conspicuous." said Valentino.
"Yes. And now, your 'Angel Cakes' has already taken him to Lucifer's daughter's hotel, the same place in which he moved out from you." Vox reminded Val.
Valentino changed his expression from being jovial to sourly in a 180-degree phase. "Urrgghhh! Must you always remind me about that, Voxy you b***h?!" he screeched, then calmed down in a huff. "So now I can't just barge in and take my client back. I also can't just go there and get a close look at Mario here."
"What the f**k can we do then? Seeing him is giving me some ideas on how to impress my clients with unique fashion patterns." replied Velvette.
"You can leave that to me. I know how to bring him to the outskirts." Vox smirked. "Now then, I'll release you two to go back to what you're doing while I make a specific call."
As soon as he sent Val and Vel back, he went back to his surveillance room and picked up a cell phone to dial a phone call. A few minutes later, a raspy voice was heard from the other line.
"Hello, you have reached Hell's premiere news station, the 666 News. State your business. Otherwise, I'll slaughter you to s**t."
"Ahh Katie Killjoy, have I got a story to share with you." replied Vox.
In a quiet living room of the Hazbin Hotel was Mario sleeping quietly. He had a good amount of rest since stepping into the realm of Hell. It was almost morning as he started to wake up and stretch his body. Mario then went up to a drawer, where he left his magical cap, shirt, gloves, overalls, and boots. He got changed, and then to the front door and standing on the other side was Angel, who had already woken up and decided to check on him.
"Good morning, sunshine. I hope you had a congenial sleep. Makes me wanna join ya." said Angel.
"Uhh yeah, I did have a good rest. So why are you here?" asked Mario.
"Isn't it obvious, I came to check on you so we can go downstairs as one, if you know what I mean." said Angel, winking.
"Well I was on my way downstairs too. So I guess we should move out." said Mario.
"You read my mind." said Angel as they proceeded to the foyer.
As they reached the main floor, they went to the dining table, where the rest of the hotel staff were waiting for Jambalaya made by Alastor and cooked by Niffty.
"Good morning, Mario and Angel." said Charlie.
"Mornin'." Mario and Angel replied.
Mario and Angel sat on one of three chairs, leaving the middle one empty. Mario sat close to Charlie and Vaggie while Angel sat close to Husk.
"Hey, who's gonna sit here in the middle?" asked Mario.
"Oh, I called Cherri if she would like to join us for some Jambalaya." said Angel.
Then, the entrance doors opened, revealing Cherri Bomb. Normally, she would blow a wall for a grand entrance, but this was the princess' hotel. She walked up to the dining table and sat in between Mario and Angel.
"Hello, my fellow junkies! And hello, my mustachio gentleman." Cherri glanced at Mario.
"Hi Cherri." said Mario, tipping his cap.
"I knew you couldn't turn down an invite, sugar tits." Angel responded.
"Of course not, Angie. After all, I came to see Mario here." Cherri gushed.
Alastor and Niffty came with the Jambalaya on plates. When the two sat down, everyone started eating their food. While everyone was eating, Vaggie nudged Charlie, telling her to share her idea with Mario. Charlie felt frightened if he were to make fun of her. But Vaggie made a smile and touched her hand, signaling everything would be fine. Charlie stood firmly and proceeded to talk with Mario.
"So Mario, how was your first night in my hotel?" she asked.
"It was very swell, princess. I really liked the wall decorations and the furniture." Mario beamed. "Say, if you're a princess, why are you living in a hotel and not a castle?"
Everyone was jolted at his comment before Charlie continued. "Yeah I am royalty, but the reason I chose a hotel was because I have a dream goal to make sinners "rehabilitate" and be allowed in Heaven to make peace."
"Really? And did it go as planned?" Mario wondered.
Charlie then felt depressed. "Sadly, everyone in hell rejected my idea of rehabilitation. Especially that news b***h, Katie Killjoy."
"What happened?" Mario asked.
Vaggie decided to jump in. "Katie made a ton of remarks saying she's a total failure and she'll never show enough proof to convince everyone to come to her hotel."
Mario was frustrated by this occurrence. Who does this Katie Killjoy think she is, telling someone who's dumb just because she's the host of the news broadcast. It reminded him how much his ex-boss, Spike, always enjoyed teasing him and Luigi about their dream of becoming plumbers. Then he looked at Charlie, who was about to burst into tears. Mario placed his hand on her shoulder and patted.
"Hey, it's okay. You're not the only one who had to go through that. I once dreamed of becoming a great plumber with my brother, Luigi. So many people told us we can't do anything helpful back in Brooklyn." Mario shared and felt a little sad.
"Oh my. And did you at least get what you needed?" said Charlie.
"Surprisingly, I did. I saved my city and the Mushroom Kingdom from world domination of King Bowser. By then, everyone started to appreciate our services." he concluded.
All the staff, including Angel and Cherri, were ecstatic to hear his marvelous feat.
Then Vaggie started to speak up again. "Um, Charlie, perhaps it would be great if you told Mario about the story between Hell and Heaven's conflict with their democracy."
"Yeah, I guess." Then she looked at Mario. "Shall I tell you the story of Hell?"
"Yeah I loved to. And just so you know, I won't sleep while you're sharing. I don't know why I had that strange habit back in the RPG days." said Mario as everyone gathered and listened to Charlie's narrative.
KeeKee jumped up to his master and transformed into a key. Then Charlie brought out a book, opened it, and began her recital. "Once upon a time, there was a glowing city protected by Golden Gates known as Heaven. It was ruled by beings of pure light. Angels that worshiped good and shielded all from evil. Lucifer was one of these angels. He was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for all of creation, but he was seen as a troublemaker by the elders of Heaven. For they felt his way of thinking was dangerous to the order of their world. So he watched as the angels began to expand the universe in their ways. From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith. Equals as the first of mankind. But despite this, Adam demanded control, and Lilith refused to submit to his will. She fled the garden, drawn in by her Fierce Independence. Lucifer found her, and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love together. They wished to share the magic of Free Will with humanity, offering the fruit of knowledge to Adam's new bride, Eve, who gladly accepted. But this gift came with a curse, for with this single act of disobedience, evil finally found its way into Earth. With it, a new realm of darkness and sin and the order Heaven had worked to maintain was shattered. As punishment for their reckless act, Heaven cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created, never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity. Only the cruel and the wicked ashamed Lucifer lost his will to dream. But Lilith thrived, empowering demon kind with her voice and her songs. And as the numbers of Hell grew, so did its power. Threatened by this, Heaven made a truly heartless decision that every year, they would send down an army, an Extermination, to ensure hell and its sinners could never rise against them. But Lilith's hope remained, and her dream was passed down to their precious daughter, the princess of Hell."
She finished and closed the book. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll make you proud." Charlie declared.
Everyone clapped at Charlie's recital, including Mario, as well. KeeKee transformed back to a cat and jumped down on the floor, and walked away.
"If you are the princess of hell, then that means Lucifer and Lilith are your parents, right?" said Mario.
"That's right, my parents are the King and Queen of all Hell." Charlie then looked at Mario with praise. "So what do you think?"
"I think redeeming sinners is a tremendous idea." Mario answered.
"Yeah, I knew my idea was so la…wait, did you just say 'tremendous'?" said Charlie.
Everyone then faced Mario with weird looks. However, Charlie had a face of flabbergasted when he said tremendous. "Did you just say my idea was tremendous?"
"Of course! Back in my days, whenever I faced different forces other than Bowser's army, I usually lent a hand to those who would rather join my side instead of me obliterating them. After all, it's what makes a hero do the right thing. We gotta give them a chance if they value their life." Mario explained.
"Well for me, I don't feel the mood in being redeemed for s**t. I didn't come here by interest, only because Alastor forced me to be here." Husk complained.
"That's fine, because at this time, you just want to be yourself at the moment. But along the way, you'll start to appreciate it more when these folks give you a hand." Mario explained.
Husk gruffed, but he nodded at his words of trust. Charlie smiled at what Mario had just said. Could it be that Mario was right? Could he help her in spreading rehabilitation to everyone?
"In that case, would you be able to help me spread the word to all sinners by making a commercial?" Charlie requested.
"It would be my honor, princess. After all, I did make a commercial for my plumbing services." said Mario.
"Really, do you think we can all see it?" asked Cherri.
"Allow me to have it displayed." Alastor replied. He snapped his fingers, and a standard-sized screen showed up. Then, a catchy rap tune started playing.
"We're the Mario Plumbers, and plumbing's our game! We're not like the others who get all the fame! When your sink is in trouble, you can call us on the double! We're faster than the others, you'll be hooked on the brothers! Uhh!" "It's-a me, Mario!" "And-a Luigi!" "Are you-a tired-a paying too much of-a plumbing?" "Mama-Mia!" "That's why the Super Mario Brothers are here!" "To save-a Brooklyn…" "And the Queens…!" "And-a your wallet." "Thank you, Super Mario Bros.! It seems the only thing you haven't drained is my bank account." *The lady shrugs in confusion* "Forget the-a expensive plumbing company where you're just the face, with the Super Mario Brothers, you're family." "The Brothers, The Brothers, The Brothers..."
As the presentation ended, Mario got some praises from the demons: Charlie had sparkly eyes of excitement, Vaggie crossed her arms with pleasure, Alastor has his right hand under his chin with interest, Angel felt soften of all the frenzy, Cherri felt awestruck with Mario's talents, Niffty was jumping many times with how the commercial went, and finally, Husk just smiled a little while drinking his beverage.
"Holy s**t! You and your brother managed to make this together?!" Charlie whooped.
"I gotta say, that was outstanding." Vaggie spoke.
"Great presentation, but I don't know if your talents would convince sinners to take it in." Alastor wondered.
"Oh daddy-o, not only are you a capable fighter, but you can broadcast your own sentiments." said Angel.
"Hot diggity-dog! I'm really starting to like you even more!" Cherri yapped.
"Hehehehehehe, 'bad boy' does know how to impress the crowd." Niffty hollered.
"Ehh, it was great." Husk responded.
Then Charlie got out of her seat and hugged Mario with a confident smile.
"That settles it, you sir are going to help me expand my Hazbin Hotel with your commercial skills, and we'll make those sinners understand the true meaning of rehabilitating!" she declared.
"I'm glad to be of assistance." Mario accepted.
Before anyone could celebrate, a knock was heard at the entrance of the doors. Vaggie went up to them and opened. There stood a demon person who had a gas mask on his face, wearing a gray suit with a white collared shirt, what appears to be black gloves, a red tie, and a red pocket square. He also has a sweep of ashy blonde hair.
"Hello, is Charlie Morningstar here?" Tom Trench said.
"What business do you want? Did Killjoy send you to ridicule us more?" said Vaggie strictly.
"No, I don't even listen to that hag's request. But anyway, is Charlie Morningstar here by any chance?" Trench asked again.
Vaggie turned around and shouted, "Charlie! Tom Trench wants to speak with you!"
Charlie walked up to Vaggie and Trench and said, "Hi there Trench, what do you need?"
"Good morning, Morningstar. I came to see if this sinner or person named Mario is living in your hotel?" he reports.
"How did you know Mario is living here and what do you want from him?" Charlie called on.
"I would tell you, but it's private. Just tell me if Mario is with you, please?" Trench retaliated.
"*Sigh* Mario, can you come over please." Charlie called, and Mario went up to her.
"Is there a problem?" Mario wondered.
"Ahh, you must be the human named Mario, right?" Trench catechize.
"Yes, I'm Mario, Super Mario. What do you want from me?" he responds.
"My name is Tom Trench, co-host of Hell's 666 News. We request to have an interview of your appearance in Hell. Would you come to our news station?" Trench elaborated.
Mario started to think about it. Does he want to appear on live television for everyone to see him or remain undercover here? He remembered what Charlie said about Katie Killjoy of 666 News. She'll do anything to make him look miserable in front of everyone and get away from it. But on the bright side, if he can share some words of wisdom for Charlie and the rest of the staff about the hotel, there could be some sinners who would give it a try.
"I accept your request, but can it be for the next three days? I need to do some things with Charlie before I can come to the news station." Mario bided.
"As you wish. Make sure you wear proper clothing for the interview and come solo. I leave you three back to your regular day routines. See you in three days." Trench bowed and left the premises of the hotel.
Vaggie closed the doors and the three went back to the dining table.
"So who was it?" asked Angel.
"It was Tom Trench, he came to see if Mario could do an interview with him Hell's 666 News." Vaggie elaborated.
"And I accept it." said Mario.
"But Mario, don't you realize Katie Killjoy is gonna try to pull your leg until you start weeping in embarrassment and reveal your inner abilities?" Charlie alerted.
"Don't worry, your highness. If there is one thing I know about this kind of factors is that if they want me to share a captivating story, then I'll give it to them until I find out their true purpose." said Mario with a determined look.
"Hmm, looks like our guest isn't afraid of public domain." said Alastor.
"Ohh, the 'bad boy' really does know his standards. Hehehehehehe." chirped Niffty.
"I wonder how you'll convince those b*****s to stay out of our affairs?" Husk grumbled.
"Relax, all of you. If Mario wants to do it, then he most certainly has a plan conducted to cream those b*****s." Cherri proclaimed.
"Well, now that we got everything aside, shall we get started with your commercial?" Mario replied to Charlie.
Charlie beamed with happiness. "Sure! Alastor, would you mind setting up some equipment while Mario, Vaggie, and I get materials and clothing needed for the commercial please?"
"As you wish, princess." Alastor smirked with ease as he snapped his fingers to begin the project.
At an abandoned warehouse, connected to an underground lair, was Sir Pentious and his Egg Boiz minions constructing a new armored weapon. It had wheels in a conveyor belt, multiple cannons hooked up on all sides, and a doorway, leading to the controls inside.
Sir Pentious sat on a chair while throwing darts at a picture showing Angel, Cherri, and of course, Mario, drawn out of a sketch. He growled bitterly at Mario the most since he ruined his chance of massacring Angel and Cherri.
"Once my creation is complete, I'll sssoon get my vengeance on that no-good human. I'll make sure his death becomessss crissspy in flamesss." He threw the dart at the Mario sketch, pinpointing a bullseye on his head.
And done. We've reached the end of this chapter.
