A Total Drama Story, Hazbin Hotel Crossover Story
Demon's Daughter: Love Across the Divide
Chapter 29
Dad Beat Dad Pt. 4
~Gwen's POV~
The hotel was attack by a group of mafia loan sharks, courtesy of Mimzy, who had entangled us with the wrong crowd and placed us in midst of a heated conflict with the sharks. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, the walls and windows of the hotel were barraged with fireballs. The windows crashed, the floors were meteoroid, and everyone was scrambling to take cover. I made a dash behind the bar with Angel and Husk. Taking notice of Nifty trying to fix a broken window despite the chaos going on. Luckily, Pentious picked her up and made a dash for the bar before Nifty got caught in the crossfire.
"We're under attack! Ah! Take cover!" Pentious cried out.
The fireballs entered the hotel in dozens, penetrating through walls and windows. They created large craters in the floors and holes in the walls. The scene resembled a science fiction action movie. Everyone scrambled to the nearest undamaged safety area as fire rained down.
"Look out!" cried Vaggie.
"Ah! What the fuck?!" cried Angel.
While everyone was frantically scrambling like a chicken with its head cut off, my father remained composed in the dire situation we were all facing. seems that when you have endured hardships for as long as he, such events do not faze you. Unlike the rest of us. I concealed myself behind the bar with Mimzy while Husk attempted to extinguish a nearby fire next to the bar, casting a death glare at Mimzy, understandably so. Angel sought cover, Pentious screamed amidst the falling fireballs, Nifty tirelessly endeavored to clean up the chaos, and Alastor was conspicuously absent. Of all the times he is needed, he has vanished. I thought about calling his name, but my attention was turned to my dad and Charlie.
"You see Charlie? This is exactly what I was talking about. You build something nice; you invite people in and offer them everything and they just bring violence and chaos to your doorstep. It doesn't matter how well intentioned you are, they're always going to disappoint you." Dad explained to Charlie, whose left eye was twitching.
Are you fucking kidding me?! He's giving her a lecture now of all times?! Does he not fathom the current situation we're in? Doesn't he notice how Charlie looks ready to explode in anger? If I were not seeking refuge from the incoming fireballs and the collapsing roof, I would confront my father and express my anger through curses. You heard me, he is an incompetent jerk to both Charlie and me. I knew having him come to the hotel was a huge mistake. While I was holding back the urge to run through the battlefield to yell at my dad, from the corner of my eye I noticed Nifty once again trying to piece together the broken windows. If I have to be honest right now, Nifty is one determined and crazy obsessive OCD girl. Scratch that, she's about to be a squashed obsessive OCD girl. The debris from the roof above was about to come crashing down on her. I was about to shout out when Pentious swooped in, saving Nifty from certain doom.
"Nifty! Come along!"
He slithered his way to behind the bar. Holding onto Nifty for dear life should she try doing something foolish again. The rage of the loan sharks was growing worse. The hotel wouldn't last much longer at the rate. Then Vaggie stepped forth, spear at the ready.
"All of you get a safe distance! I'll take care of this."
Before she could step forward, Alastor rematerialized out of nowhere. A hand placed on Vaggie's spear, lowering it down.
"No, my dear, leave it to me. It's time I remind everyone why I'm here." He spoke.
Upon saying that, Alastor raised his staff and clashed it to the ground. His eyes turned to demonic radio dials as a green aura began to glow around him.
"Oh, finally! Took you long enough!" Came Mimzy showing her face from behind the counter.
I observed Alastor ascend into the air, his form transforming into a grotesque, larger demonic version of himself. The room glowing the bright green color before he went outside to deal with the loan sharks.
"A reminder to all, not to mess with the radio demon! (Sinister laugh)"
With Alastor taking care of the loan sharks using his tentacles and massive hands, it was safe for everyone to come out of hiding. Mimzy was cheering Alastor on as he went about destroying the catapult and eating loan shark's whole. A grotesque as it was to watch, I had to admire his bravery and skills. At least someone was doing something to help the hotel.
"I will devour each and every one of you!" Alastor cried out.
As I watched Alastor in action, from the corner of my eye, dad and Charlie came over to get a closer look at the carnage happening outside through the massive hole where the front door once stood.
"Mhm, you, see? What'd I tell you Charlie? Sinners are violent psychopaths, hell bent on causing as much pain and destruction as they can. There's really no point in trying t-" dad began until I snapped.
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Okay, I admit that was harsh, but at that moment I didn't care. All day dads had been talking down to Charlie about how sinners can't be redeemed, and the hotel wouldn't succeed. Well, enough is enough. I'm not listening to another harsh word that comes out of his mouth.
"All day we have had to endure your negative remarks about the hotel, your opinions on Charlie's aspirations, and the drawbacks of wrongdoers. I get that you don't care, but Charlie does. She gives a damn about saving sinners from the wrath of the exorcists while you just stand to the side allowing carnage to happen." I explained.
"She's right dad, and maybe what Alastor's doing is more sadistic that I'd hoped, but he's defending the hotel! He's doing it for me! How come he can have faith in me, but my own father can't?!" spoke Charlie.
"Ooh, drama." I heard Angel speak.
Looking over my shoulder I saw him, Husk, and Pentious watching us with popcorn in hand.
Ignoring them, I turned back to dad, who had a look of shock on his face. "Do you even care what Charlie's trying to do? Do you even care about her feelings or mine?" I could feel hot tears welling in my eyes, but I didn't care. There was a significant amount of anger built up inside me and releasing it as I just did have alleviated a burden from my shoulders.
~Normal POV~
Alastor had just finished massacring the sharks and reverted back to his original form. The battlefield was a bloodshed mess of half torn body parts, blood, and wreckage pieces of the once fully functioned catapult.
"Ah, how I missed getting to let off steam like that!" He said with glee.
With everything settled down, Mimzy came out of hiding. Making her way towards Alastor. "Oh, Alastor! What a fantastic show! Bravo, as always! Thanks for helping lil' old me out of another tough spot, you're always such a pal!"
Some debris falls close to where Mimy stood, making her back away in surprise.
"Oops. Heheh...sorry about the mess, but I'm sure the little one-eyed bug can take care of it for you."
"I think you should go Mimzy, now." spoke Alastor.
"Oh pff, Alastor, you're such a kidder you! Haha, you're so funny!"
"I mean it. You deliberately brought danger to this place, endangering everyone inside just so I'd clean up your mess. I can't have that here."
"But Al, you love taking care of me! What? You don't actually give a shit about this tacky place, do ya? Come on, I know you." (Pokes him with each word she speaks) You. (poke) Heartless. (poke) Son. (poke) Of. (poke) A. (poke) Bitch. (poke)
Alastor casually moves her finger away and points his microphone staff in front of her. "You're welcomed to give redemption a shot, but I think we both know that's not really your style, so you need to leave."
"Fine! Who needs you?! Have fun with the princess and this hotel! See if I care!" Offended, Mimzy flips Alastor off before taking her leave.
From afar, Husk smirked with satisfaction before turning back to the melodrama between Charlie, Gwen and Lucifer. Munching on some popcorn with Angel, who had a drink in his hand while Pentious held a TV guide by Vox.
"This is really getting good. Beats watching TV any day." said Angel.
The scene grew increasingly poignant with a touch of sorrow as Lucifer retreated to the lobby, followed by Charlie and Gwen.
"Dad, please...can't you help me?" spoke Charlie.
"I... I can't." spoke Lucifer.
"Can't or won't?" spoke Gwen.
"Why? Why can't you help?" asked Charlie.
(For this song, Lucifer will be Bold, Charlie with be Italic, as will Gwen, surprise. Altogether, the three will share a Bold/Italic wording.)
[LUCIFER:]
Charlie, Gwen, you don't understand, Heaven never listens!
They didn't listen to me; they won't listen to either of you
[CHARLIE:]
You don't know that!
[LUCIFER:]
I do!
You didn't know that when I tried this all before
My dreams were too hard to defend
And in the end, I won't lose it all again
Now you're the only things worth fighting for
More than anything, more than anything
I'll shelter and adore you more than anything
[CHARLIE:]
Dad, I don't need you to protect me from this
[GWEN]
We're not little girls anymore
[LUCIFER:]
I just don't want you two to be crushed by them like...
Like I was
[CHARLIE:]
Dad...
When I was young, I didn't really know you at all
I always felt so small
But I heard your stories, and I was enthralled
The tales about your lofty dreams, I listened breathlessly
Imagining it could be me
So, in the end, it's the view I had of you
That showed me dreams can be worth fighting for
More than anything, more than anything
I need to save my people more than anything
[GWEN]
I can't believe I'm doing this, but here goes
I always had faith that you'd be there for me
That I could count on you and follow my own dreams
Hoping to be independent and go off to explore the Earth and all of hells glorious rings
Yet in the end, I felt trapped and overbent, but now I see you just wanted to keep me safe
More than anything, more than anything
I need you to trust me more than anything
[LUCIFER, GWEN & CHARLIE:]
I've been dyin' to find out who you are
I've been waiting, wanting the same thing
I've been hoping, you'd come to your senses
Looks like the apples don't fall that far
Took you a while
I've missed those smiles
All that I'm hopin', now that my eyes are open
Is that we can start again, not be pulled apart again
'Cause in the end, you are part of who I am
I'll support your dream, whatever lies in store
And who could ask for more?
More than anything, more than anything
More than anything, more than anything
I'm grateful you're my daughters more than anything
I'm grateful you're my father more than anything
I'm grateful you're my father more than anything
More than anything
After a majestic flight with their father, the girls and Lucifer were back in the lobby. Pentious was teary after witnessing such a sweet and tender moment between a father and his girls.
"Aww, that was ssssso beautiful."
"Alright Charlie, I'll get you a meeting in Heaven, but once you're there, I won't be able to go with you. Will you be, okay?" spoke Lucifer.
"I'll be fine dad." smiled Charlie.
"And Gwen, I owe you a huge apology. You're growing up, and I was selfish keeping you at home and bombarding all those lessons on you."
"Yeah well, I didn't make it easy on you with sneaking out and annoying all those teachers. I guess in the end, I'm to blame as well. So, I'm sorry for being rude and yelling at you." spoke Gwen rubbing her neck.
"Hey, I needed an eye opener and you and your sister did just that." Lucifer smiled, rubbing Gwen's hair.
"Dad..."
"(laughs) Sorry, couldn't help myself. Well, good luck Charlie, and be safe. Both of you."
Then, as soon as he arrived, Lucifer vanished a violet mist. Leaving Gwen and Charlie where they stood. Vaggie appeared, approaching Charlie.
"This next part's going to be scary. Are you ready?"
"I'm ready. (hugs Vaggie) Cuz you'll be with me and Gwen."
"In spirit, right?"
"In Heaven!"
"Yay..."
Vaggie did not appear pleased with the prospect of going to Heaven. In fact, her facial expression otherwise. While Charlie was unable to see it, Gwen could clearly observe Vie's demeanor. This seemed peculiar, though she was unsure of the reason. Only time would reveal the cause of Vaggie's anxiety about going to Heaven.
