Saiyans of Hell

~The Following Day~

"Well, looks like all the chaos has finally calmed down. All the chaos from yesterday is dying down." Kaen sighed, looking through the peek hole of his hiding place. "But now it looks like there's a turf war going on between a couple of demons."

The Angelic Saiyan was draped in a tattered robe, he'd swiped from a dead demon. He didn't like doing that, but it was better than nothing. He'd taken Carmilla's advice, and cleaned himself up, and doing what he'd learned for hiding his wings, he managed to seal the wounds on his back, and stop the golden blood from pouring out of them, while he used what limited medical supplies he had in the pouches of his hero costume, to patch up his right eye. At the same time, he had Eri hide his Halo, in her Duplication Bag, which had somehow made the trip to Hell with her.

The spear he used to help him walk, was now mounted on his back, beneath his shield and ready to be grabbed at a moments notice should he need it for a fight. He still had a slight limp in his gait, but thanks to the Wukong gem in his chest, he felt like he was at least healed enough to defend Eri should she need his aid.

Though he wasn't about to question it, or look a gift horse in the mouth.

Making sure Eri was safe, the father daughter duo made their way out of their hiding spot, an abandoned building they'd been squatting in since the day before, while Kaen recovered from his injuries.

Thankfully, Eri was able to get enough food for them to survive on, without the need for going out of their hiding place, mainly because it was food she'd sneaked into her Duplication Bag, before the explosion happened.

It was still taking Kaen a while to adjust to being half blind, but he was quickly getting the hang of it while Eri acted as his eyes for his blind side until he had adapted to it completely.

"Papa, are we gonna find Mama?" Eri asked.

"We will Kitten, we will." Kaen said. "Your mom's stronger then you know."

Heading down the street, Kaen and Eri stopped when they spotted a sign, giving free access to a TV news broadcast, involving the Princess of Hell. Looking at Eri, he figured this would be a good time to distract Eri with something entertaining, the same way Toshinori had done with him. Plus, even if it was Hell, Kaen was certain that Eri would enjoy the sight of an actual princess.

Heading inside the studio, Kaen managed to make his way through the crowds, keeping one of Eri's hands in his, to make sure they didn't get separated or anything.

Looking around, Kaen paused when he saw just how much it resembled an actual studio he'd seen from the living world. It wasn't all that surprising to him; it was just a bit of a shock that there wasn't more fire and brimstone everywhere in the studio.

"Papa, what are we doing here?" Eri asked.

"Well Kitten, I thought I'd help take your mind off things, by giving you a chance to see an actual Princess." Kaen said.

"A Princess?" Eri asked excitedly, practically jumping with joy on the balls of her feet, with the biggest smile he'd ever seen on her face. "I wanna meet her, I wanna meet her!"

"Okay, okay Kitten, just hold your horses." Kaen smiled. "Alright now let's see…"

Pausing for a moment, Kaen looking around, and actually spotted someone, a member of the camera crew, who might be able to help.

"Excuse me?" Kaen asked, tapping his shoulder.

"The fuck do you want pal?" The camera operator asked.

"Rude, I was just wanting to know if you could point me in the direction of Princess Charlie." Kaen said.

"What are ya, blind or something? She's fucking backstage prepping for her segment." The cameraman said, pointing to an area past the news broadcast platform.

"Thanks." Kaen said, before leading Eri away from him and to the backstage area.

Ducking in with his daughter, Kaen looked around before spotting two feminine figures by one of the snack table areas, with two smaller flying dragon goat demons.

One of them was a slim-figured woman subtly sporting a moth-themed design with grayish-lavender skin. She has knee-length grayish-white hair with faded-pink tips and long jagged bangs which cover the left side of her face. On the back of her head, Kaen could see that she accessorized with a red hairbow with small tears on each side and two long tails of the trailing ribbons.

He could see from an angle that her right eye has a light pink sclera and an ivory iris. Her mouth has small fangs and black lips.

She wore a blouse the same color as her bow, with a dark gray peter-pan collar, dark gray trimming on the sleeves, and two dark gray buttons down the front. He also saw that she sported a choker and a miniskirt with a thick pale pink waistband hugging her waist, both colored in the same dark gray. Kaen also took note that she seemed to accessorize with a set of fingerless slate-gray opera gloves with matching thigh-high stockings, which include white scallops at the cuff and toes.

Standing across from her was a tall and slim-built white-skinned demon, standing at around 6 and a half feet has long, ankle-length blonde hair with thin light coral streaks on the paler-blonde highlights, which is usually tied into a twice-banded low-ponytail by two black hair ties. Her hair also features bangs that are flipped to the left side and ends with a curl.

Her eyes sport light yellow sclera and red pupils and have thick eyelashes and gray eyelids. She has black lips and rosy-red cheeks, reminding Kaen of certain dolls and marionettes he's seen in museums and history noted some physical features that reminded him of someone with a Quirk giving them animal-like traits, such as red-toed hooves, fangs in her mouth, and a black animal-like nose. Her fingernails are black and pointed.

He noticed instantly that she wore a red tuxedo-jacket with darker red lapels and a small white tag located on the left side. Underneath was what he could only assume was, long sleeved, high-collared white dress-shirt with a small black bowtie. Her dress pants are colored in a slight darker shade than her jacket, and her footwear consisted of heeled, white saddle shoes with black toes and tips of the heels.

Kaen could tell they were getting ready for something, most likely the news segment Princess Charlie was going to take part in.

"Um, excuse me." Kaen said, approaching them.

Both women turned to Kaen, reacting to his approach.

"Oh, hello there." The girl in red smiled.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but…" Kaen paused when the other girl pointed a spear at him. "Whoa, calm down there's no need for that."

"What do you want?" The girl asked.

"Vaggie, stop I don't think he's here to cause trouble." The girl in red stated. "I'm sorry, she tends to jump to conclusions. I'm Charlie Morningstar." She said, holding her hand out to Kaen.

"Kaen Yagi." He spoke, shaking her hand. "I completely understand, Hell isn't exactly the friendliest place, but I'm here because…"

Kaen paused, with a small smile on his face, before looking down at Eri, who was hiding behind his leg, spooked by Vaggie pointing her spear at her father.

"I was hoping you wouldn't mind having a meet and greet with my daughter." Kaen said.

"Oh, of course." Charlie smiled, before crouching down. "Hello there sweetie. How old are you?"

"Six." Eri said a bit shyly.

"Oh, you're just so adorable!" Charlie squealed, before booping Eri's nose, making her giggle.

"How is a child in Hell?" Vaggie questioned.

"That's something I've been asking since we got here." Kaen sighed. "My name's Kaen, by the way, and this is my daughter Eri."

"It's a pleasure to meet you both." Charlie said. "How long have you both been dead for?"

"Just the last few days." Kaen said. "I actually had to defend Eri from the Exorcists that came down."

"You fought back against the Exorcists?" Charlie asked. "Why would you do that? Don't you know how dangerous those genocidal freaks… oh wait, you just said you've only been dead for a few days, so you wouldn't know."

"Why would you risk your soul fighting them though?" Vaggie asked.

"A hero can't choose their battles. When there's trouble, they must heed the call." Kaen stated.

"Papa's an amazing Hero." Eri said.

"Eri, Papa isn't that amazing of a hero." Kean sighed, taking a knee to look at her. "If I were, I would have been able to keep you and Mama safe and out of the explosion that killed us."

Charlie and Vaggie looked at Kaen with slight shock in their expressions. They could see the guilt in his eye, and the pain he felt from blaming himself for being the cause of his family's death.

Before either of them could try to do something to either make him feel better, or ask him for detail, the sound of the News team's Anchorwoman reached their ears from the TV on the wall.

"Good afternoon, I'm Katie Killjoy." The psycho looking blonde said.

"An' I'm Tom Trench." The gasmask wearing Anchorman said. "Chaos out of Pentagram City today as a turf war is raging on the west side, between notable Sir Pentious, and self-proclaimed spunky powerhouse, Cherri Bomb."

"That's right Tom." Katie said, as live feed of the turf war was playing on the screen. "After the recent Extermination, many areas are now up for grabs. Demons all over Hell are already duking it out, to gain new territory."

"Those two seem to be really going at it." Tom said.

"Looks like they'll be fighting tooth and nail for that hotspot." Katie said, pulling a literal tooth and nail from her mug, before tossing them in her mouth, and chewing on them.

"An' I'd sure like to nail her hotspot, ho-ho." Tom said unashamedly.

"You are a limp dick Jackass, Tom. Or should I say…" Katie paused to pour hot coffee on Tom's lap. "…no dick?"

"Not again." Tom groaned, as he gripped his crotch in pain.

"Coming up next, we have an exclusive interview with the daughter of Hell's own, head honcho, who's here to discuss her brand-new passion project. All that and more, after the break." Katie stated, crushing the mug in her hand, while shattering it. "Suck it up, you little…"

The TV feed cut out before they could hear the rest of what Katie had to say. But Kaen was well aware of what she most likely said.

Vaggie turned back to Charlie and straightened out her bowtie.

"Okay, you remember what to say?" Vaggie asked.

"Yes." Charlie said, after taking a deep breath. "Let's do this."

"Just, look at me, and I'll mouth it to you." Vaggie said.

"Come on Vaggie, I know what to say." Charlie said, before going to the snack table. "I just feel like we need to, I don't know, make things sound more exciting." She added grabbing a doughnut, before tossing it to Eri as she got an idea. "Ooh, what if I sing…"

"Sing a song about it?" Vaggie asked as Charlie got in her face in a playful way.

"You knew I was going to say that." Charlie said, booping Vaggie's nose.

"Because I know you." Vaggie said, giving Charlie's bowtie one last straightening. "But please, don't sing, this is serious."

"Well, you know, I'm better at expression myself and my goals through song." Charlie said, standing on the snack table, her feet between the dishes.

"But life isn't a musical Hun." Vaggie said, speaking realistically.

"Fine, but I have these other ideas of what to say." Charlie said, pulling a piece of paper out from her back pocket and hopping back to the ground. "The highlighted bits are the best parts." She added excitedly, handing the paper to Vaggie.

"Uh, this is all highlighted." Vaggie said, looking the page over. "Is… this a drawing?"

"Yes, that's the happy ending, see?" Charlie said excitedly. "Everyone's smiling, and happy in Heaven."

"I don't think it's that simple." Vaggie said, as Charlie took the paper back. "Just please, follow the talking points, we went over."

"Mind if I see that?" Kaen asked, gesturing to the paper.

Charlie and Vaggie looked at Kaen in shock, before Charlie handed him the paper.

Looking it over, Kaen read what he could with his remaining eye, reading out the plan before him on the page.

"So… you plan is to save the souls of your people, by redemption?" Kaen asked. "You're doing this in an attempt to prevent more genocide at the hands of the Exorcists, aren't you?"

"Yep." Charlie said.

"Don't you dare laugh and say it's stupid." Vaggie growled.

"No actually. I think it's a great idea." Kaen said.

"You do?" Vaggie and Charlie asked at the same time.

"Yeah. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not gonna be easy by any means. But I think it's wonderful, that you're doing this to save your people." Kaen said, handing the paper back to Charlie. "But I'd listen to what Vaggie says. So, do not sing!"

"Okay fine." Charlie groaned. "I'll just have to resort to my impeccable, improv skills." She finished, her voice switching to a British accent."

"Oh boy." Kaen sighed, as he picked Eri up in his arms, just as she finished the doughnut she got from Charlie.

Kaen followed Vaggie back out to the crowd, both of them standing at the front, with Kaen putting Eri down in front of him.

"It's not your fault, you know." Vaggie said.

"What's not?" Kaen questioned.

"Your family's death." Vaggie stated. "It's not your fault. I think you're being too hard on yourself, and you're taking on blame that you don't deserve."

"I appreciate the attempt Vaggie, but it is my fault, plain and simple." Kaen sighed.

"An' we're back." Katie said rushing back to her seat, her head hanging to the side with a broken neck, before readjusting it, Charlie sitting in a guest seat next to her. "So, Charlotte."

"It's Charlie." She said.

"Whatever. Tell us about this new passion project, you've been insistently pestering our news station about!" Katie stated, looking ready to murder someone.

"Yikes, she's really been calling the station that much?" Kaen whispered.

Vaggie nodded, affirming that Charlie was being that pushy with calling the station.

"Well…" Charlie began, before looking to Vaggie, for a sign and show of support. "As most of you know, I was born here in hell, and growing up I always tried to see the good in everything around me." She explained, as Katie stabbed a caterpillar that was crawling on the desk. "Hell is my home and…" She paused to wipe off some blood splatter that got on her. "…you are my people. We just went through another extermination. We lost so many souls, and it breaks my heart to see my people being slaughtered every year. No one is even given a chance." She stated, slamming her fist on the desk, causing the anchor woman to pop up while making a car locking sound. "I can't stand idly by, while the place I live, is subjected to such violence. So, I've been thinking. Isn't there a more humane way to hinder overpopulation over here in Hell? Perhaps we could create an alternative way to change souls, thru, redemption? Well, I think yes."

'I like where her heads at, but she's not thinking realistically.' Kaen thought, scratching Eri behind the ears, calming her down. 'But perhaps, I could lend a hand to this cause of hers. Gotta keeps my identity as an angel hidden from her though. I might not have taken an active participation in Extermination Day, but I doubt that'd matter to her or any other Sinners and Demons.'

"So that's what this project, aims to achieve." Charlie stated. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm opening the first of its kind. A hotel that rehabilitates sinners."

After Charlie said this, Kaen could actually hear the deafening silence, as the demons didn't seem impressed with her idea.

"You know, since hotels are for people passing through, temporarily." Charlie added, nervously speaking, before pausing to collect her thoughts for a second. "I figure it would serve a purpose, a place to work towards redemption."

"Stupid bitch." One of the camera men said, before Kaen and Vaggie both punched him in the face, causing him to fall backwards, bleeding and unconscious.

"Look, every single one of you has something good, deep down inside." Charlie stated. "I know you do. Just look at this guy." She added, gesturing to Kaen, which caused the camera men to turn the cameras to him as well.

'The fuck is she doing? Why put me in the spotlight?' He thought as he panicked a bit.

"This sinner risked his immortal soul, to fight off the Exorcists, and saved his own daughters soul in the process, even though it cost him half his sight. He's a hero, both in life, and in death as well. He is living proof that there is still good in you sinners." She said, before her face brightened, when she had an idea as the cameras turned their attention back onto her. "Maybe I'm not getting through to you."

"Oh no." Vaggie and Kaen groaned, as the lights went out, before a spotlight appeared above Charlie, with the Princess sitting on a piano one of her demon dragon goats began playing.

~(Cue Music… Inside Every Demon is a Rainbow: Amalee Cover!)~

I have a dream, I'm here to tell. About a wonderful, fantastic new hotel. Yes, it's one of a kind, right here in Hell, catering to a specific clientele.

Inside of every demon is a rainbow. Inside every sinner is a shiny smile. Inside of every creepy hatchet-wielding maniac, is a jolly, happy, cupcake-loving child.

(End Song…)

"Wow… That was shit." A black and white cartoon-looking demon said.

After that, the entire audience and crew, aside from Vaggie, Kaen, and Eri. One member of the audience even booed.

"What, in the nine circles, makes you think a single denizen of Hell, would give two shits about becoming a better person?" Katie questioned mockingly. "What, just because some costume wearing clown lost an eye to protect his kid, you think we all have that kind of kindness inside us?"

"At least she's a natural blonde." Kaen stated, his words causing Katie to look at him menacingly.

"What did you just say?" Katie asked.

"Nothing that wasn't true." Kaen shrugged.

"You think you can talk down to me, and walk out of here alive?" Katie asked, her body tensing as it shook.

"I don't think, I know." I said. "Besides, I fought an Exorcist, the day I came to Hell. What the fuck were you doing during the Extermination?"

Katie grit her teeth, as if ready to kill Kaen. She was stopped however, when she noticed the spear on his back. Seeing the angelic steel glinting in the studio light made her back down, if only for a bit.

"Fucking asshole." Katie scoffed. "Still though, Little Miss Prissy Princess has no proof that this little experiment of hers even works." She stated, before looking back at Charlie. "You want people to be good, just, because?"

"Well, we have a patron, already. Who believes in our cause, and has shown incredible progress." Charlie stated.

"Oh?" Katie asked condescendingly. "An' who might that be?"

"Oh…just someone named, Angel Dust." Charlie said confidently.

"The porn star?" Tom asked.

"You fucking would Tom." Katie said, her nails digging into the desk as she turned to glare at him, with her smirk still broad and wide, making him feel uncomfortable. "In any case, that's not even an accomplishment. I'm sure you can get that hooker to do anything with enough booger sugar and lube." She finished, making an up and down motion with her hand.

"Uh, who's Angel Dust?" I whispered to Vaggie.

"He's our first patron. But he's also a pink spider demon porn star contracted to the Overlord, Valentino." Vaggie whispered back. "Trouble is, Charlie is overselling his progress and motives."

"Ah." Kaen said, before pulling out his Scouter Shades from a pouch on his hip, and putting them on.

Kaen didn't hesitate to use the high-tech computer in his Scouter Shades, and jammed an incoming signal covering the turf war, helping Charlie save face. As an added touch, he hit the studio with a trojan horse virus he kept in a secured file of the shades computer, meant for villains computer systems, before removing his Scouter, and putting it back in the pouch on his hip.

"Uh, might I interject?" Kaen asked, raising his hand.

"What?" Katie asked.

"Well, you see, I actually think Princess Charlie's idea has merit." Kaen said, stepping up to Katie. "So, I am going to say this, in front of your entire studio, in your smug, arrogant wannabe Karen face!"

"What did you just call me?" Katie growled, gritting her teeth.

"You heard me." Kaen said. "So let me make this, crystal clear for your sand grain sized brain to understand. I am going to bring my daughter to the Hotel, so she and I can get redeemed. So why don't you take your stupid pen, and shove it up your ass?" He exclaimed, taking Katie's pen, and flicking it in her face.

That caused the entire studio went quiet after that, not expecting someone like Kaen to talk to someone like Katie in that way. Katie's face grew indignant, and she growled in anger as two more eyes opened on her forehead, with two bladelike arms sprouting from her body.

"Charlie?" I said, looking to the Princess of Hell.

"Yeah?"

"Take Vaggie, Eri, and run." I said, cracking my neck. "I'll meet you at the car."

Charlie didn't have to be told twice, as Katie lunged at Kaen, pinning him to the anchormen's desk. The instant Kaen was pinned, Charlie got to her feet, off the desk, and grabbed Vaggie by the shoulder, just as the one-eyed woman picked Eri up in her own arms, and lead them both out of the studio room, just as the alarms started going off in the studio.

Without missing a beat, Kaen pushed himself up from the desk, and gaining some leverage, flipped around, and slammed his knee into Katie's face, hard enough to send her flying past Tom and off screen, as Kaen landed in a kneed crouched position on the desk, showing Katie had torn the robe off him, revealing his armored clothing underneath.

Kaen smiled as he looked down at his suit. It wasn't easy, but he managed to replace the gold color of his suit, with a deep scarlet color, while making the silver-white aspects a couple shades of blood red, darker. While the upside-down star on his chest was gone, leaving the front of his suit completely barren.

All the demons and sinners there looked at Kaen in complete shock, before he removed his shield from his back, and bringing it to the full size, threw it at Katie, hitting her throat and knocking her out, before it landed back on his forearm, showing it had been painted a deep blood red as well.

"An' that's the end of tonight's broadcast." Kaen said, hopping down from the desk, before making his way out of the studio, the demon crowd parting for him, as he put his scouter shades back on. "You know, I think I'm actually going to like it here in Hell. Next thing to do, find Mina and make my family whole again. The Exterminations are going to end, because I am here!"

~Later~

"Oh, Vaggie I'm so happy and excited." Charlie smiled, sitting giddy in her limousine with her girlfriend, and a tied-up spider demon, while Kaen and Eri sat in the limo with them.

"I guess something good did come out of this whole thing with the News Broadcast." Vaggie smiled. "Interesting suit by the way."

He looked at Eri, who was snuggling and playing with the two demon dragon goats that Charlie kept by her side, Razzle and Dazzle, as they were happy to be playing with her as well.

"Thanks, it was my hero suit back when I was alive." Kaen said, looking back at Charlie and Vaggie. "I appreciate you taking us to the hotel yourselves, after picking up your only patron. You're lucky I intercepted the broadcast coming from an on-scene news crew at the turf war, otherwise he'd have ruined everything for you." He stated, gesturing to the spider demon, who had been part of the turf war he'd intervened in.

"The name's Angel Dust, hot stuff. An' if you wanted to tie me up, you could have at least waited until we got back to my room at the hotel to do it. I don't mind a little BDSM." He said.

"Not my type, slut." Kaen sighed.

"You don't seem to be bothered by the fact that your daughter's in Hell, or that she's being exposed to all this cussing." Vaggie said.

"Like you said, we're in Hell." Kaen stated. "I've already had to defend her from kidnappers, pedophiles, rapists, and more in the last three days, since we got here. So being exposed to some sailor talk, won't make much of a difference at this point."

"How long ago, did you arrive in Hell?" Charlie asked.

"About two days before the angels attacked." Kaen said. "It wasn't pretty, and we'd been separated from each other before that. I had managed to find her during all the chaos, and ended up making an ally at the same time."

"What about her mother?" Vaggie asked.

"We haven't been able to find her, but she's strong, so I'm sure she survived the Extermination somehow." Kaen said. "I haven't given up my search for her."

"That's a good positive attitude to keep." Charlie smiled.

"You could learn a thing or two from him Angel." Vaggie said.

"The only thing I wanna learn from him, is how big his dick is, and how good he is in the sack." Angel said in a flirty tone. "Who knows, if I play my cards right, I could be the little munchkins other Daddy."

"None of your business, none of your business, and never going to happen." Kaen said, flipping him off.

"Playing hard to get huh?" Angel smirked. "I'll break you eventually."

"Angel, this is serious!" Vaggie stated. "What the hell were you thinking?"

"I owed my girl buddy a solid. Isn't that a redeeming quality? Helping friends with stuff?" Angel asked.

"Not with turf wars, that result in territorial genocide!" Vaggie scolded. "You're lucky Kaen was at the studio, to keep you from ruining the Hotel's reputation, with Charlie making an ass of herself, right after she'd stated how proud she was of your progress!"

"Eh, you win some, you lose a few hundred." Angel said, before laughing. "It wasn't that bad anyway. Besides I had to, my credibility was on the line. I mean, what kind of reputation would I have, if people found out I was trying to go clean? It just throws out my entire persona."

"You can't have your cake, and eat it to Angel." Kaen sighed. "Rep is one thing, but doing the right thing, is something else entirely. An' you prioritized your own credibility over the hotel's. Your little stunt with the turf war, would have made the hotel look like, a fucking joke if I hadn't intercepted the broadcasting signal."

"We should make him a teacher at the hotel." Vaggie said, looking to Charlie.

"C'mon, jokes are funny." Angel said. "I made the hotel look, sad, and pathetic. Like an orphan, with no arms, or legs, oh with…"

"Shut your mouth, or you lose your head." Kaen stated, snapping his fingers, while releasing a wave of power. "Not, another, fucking, word!"

"Yessir." Angel said, quacking in fear, before looking to Charlie. "This thing have any liquor?"

"No alcohol, only candy." Eri smiled, munching on some jellybeans.

"Eri, don't just help yourself to the candy without asking first." Kaen said.

"It's fine, she's more than welcome to the candy bar." Charlie smiled softly. "Oh, she's just so adorable, and her face just looks so squishy, soft, and cuddly."

"Angel, can you at least try to take this seriously?" Vaggie asked.

"Fine, I'll try." Angel sighed. "Just don't get your taco in a twist, baby."

"Was that you trying to be sexist, or racist?" Vaggie asked getting to her feet.

"Whatever pisses you off more." Angel said.

"I'm gonna kill him." Vaggie said, sitting back down, crossing her arms.

"Too late toots." Angel said. "Wait, would that make me double dead? Then where would I go, to double Hell?"

"It would make your soul vanish into the empty darkness that came before creation." Kaen stated as the limo stopped at the hotel.

"Well, here we are." Charlie smiled. "Welcome to the Happy Hotel."

"Yay. No more sleeping outside on the ground." Eri smiled, running out of the limo with Razzle and Dazzle playfully chasing her.

"How exactly is it possible, that a child as innocent as her, ended up in hell?" Vaggie asked as Angel got out of the limo, with Kaen and Charlie following.

"I don't know." Kaen sighed, cutting the ropes keeping the spider demon tied up. "I'm just wanting to keep her safe, and away from anyone who'd hurt her."

"Just what a good father would say." Vaggie smiled.

"Listen, Charlie… I appreciate you letting us stay here, but we don't have any way to pay you." Kaen said as they went into the hotel.

"It's fine. I don't take money from clients. I just wanna help as many people as I can, pass through to Heaven." Charlie smiled.

"Hey Charlie, what's this about?" Eri asked, pointing to some of the damage in the lobby.

"Oh, no, no, no. Get out from under there Eri." Charlie said, going to pull Eri out from under the damaged railing about to fall.

As soon as Vaggie and Kaen were alone, with Angel doing his own thing, and Eri still playing with Razzle and Dazzle, while Charlie chased after them since Eri was running with a fire poker, the duo sighed and sat down, both of them finally happy to relax.

"So glad that television interview is done and over with." Vaggie sighed.

"I'm just glad to get Eri off the streets." Kaen sighed. "But you know, I can't help wondering, what an angel is doing dating a demon?"

Vaggie's eye widened before she sat up and looked at Kaen, who looked at her expectantly.

"Care to explain yourself?" Kaen asked, sitting up. "I'm curious to know, as to why an Exorcist angel, would remain behind in hell."

"How did you know I was an Exorcist?" Vaggie asked.

"Talk, and maybe I'll tell you." Kaen said.

Vaggie was silent for a moment, before she sighed in defeat and began to spill her guts.

"I was exiled, by the army's second in command. Adam's right-hand woman, Lute, and became a Fallen Angel." Vaggie explained. "The reason for this, was because during one of the Exterminations three years ago, I let a demon child go free, rather than killing him right there in that alleyway. Lute saw my mercy as weakness, and tore my wings off, after gouging out one of my eyes with her sword, and leaving me for dead here in hell, while Adam took my halo. But Charlie found me after they left, and nursed me back to health. After that, I stayed with her, somewhere along the line we got together in a relationship, and I've been adamant about helping to make her dreams about this hotel become a reality. I consider it, my way of trying to redeem all the wrong I've done to her, and her people."

Kaen just looked at Vaggie, before he smiled and leaned back into the love seat, thinking over her words, as he sighed contently and spoke.

"I'm a martial artist." Kaen said.

"Okay? Why bring that up?"

"With the proper training, martial artists can sense life energy known as Ki. You let your Ki flare up when scolding Angel during the drive here, and that told me you were an Exorcist, or a former Exorcist. It felt familiar, because as I mentioned when we first met at the studio, I fought back against the angels when I found Eri." Kaen explained. "That's how I knew you were an angel."

"Ah, so that's how it is." Vaggie sighed.

"Hey, what are you two dick weeds talking about?" Angel asked, coming over to them with a popsicle.

"Nun-ya." Kaen said.

"What's Nun-ya?" Angel asked.

"Nun-ya business." Kaen stated, making Angel role his eyes as he flopped down on the couch.

Knock…Knock, knock, knock…Knock…Knock, knock.

Charlie and the others looked to the door, before Charlie herself, went to answer it.

Kaen just shrugged his shoulders, before he braced himself as Eri along with both Razzle and Dazzle jumped into his lap in a tackle. Though he did find it strange that he heard the door open and close twice.

"Hey Vaggie!" Charlie called.

"What?" Vaggie asked.

"The Radio Demon, is at the door."

"What?" Vaggie questioned.

"Who's the Radio Demon?" Kaen asked.

"What should I do?" Charlie asked.

"Well, don't let him in!" Vaggie said.

Kaen looked at Charlie, as Charlie looked at the door, before he jumped to his feet as she went to the door.

"Charlie wait…" Kaen called out, running to the door, but it was too late.

Standing in the doorway was a thin man dressed in an, umber red suit, with stag antlers, red hair, part of the hair styled like deer ears, and a monocle on his eye, with a radio microphone cane in his hands.

"May I speak now?" He asked, his voice sounding like a radio broadcast.

"You may…"

"Alastor, pleasure to be meeting you sweetheart, quite a pleasure." Alastor said, shaking her hand, and pulling her in to where their faces were extremely close to one another before coming in. "Excuse my sudden visit, but I saw your friends fiasco on the picture show, and I just couldn't resist, what a performance. A one hit knockout with a collapsible discus shield. Why I haven't been that entertained, since the stock market crash of 1929." He said with a laugh. "So many orphans…"

"Stop right there." Vaggie said, as she pointed a spear at Alastor's throat, with the blades of Kaen's collapsed shield next to it, while Vaggie cursed in Spanish.

"The Louisiana Serial Killer." Kaen said. "You're quite famous in the living world. To be honest, I don't really admire villains, but I will say it's an honor to be meeting such a feared figure from America's history."

"Charmed to meet you my boy." Alastor smiled.

"I know your game, and I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone here, you pompous cheesy talk show Shit Lord." Vaggie said.

"Vaggie, you probably can't feel it, but his energy is massive." Kaen said, lowering his arm. "I doubt we'd be able to actually do anything to him."

"He's right my dear." Alastor smiled, pushing Vaggie's spear out of the way. "If I wanted to hurt anyone here, I would have done so already."

"So why are you here Alastor?" Kaen asked.

"My dear boy, I'm here because I want to help." Alastor stated.

"Say what now?" Charlie asked.

"Help!" Alastor said, before speaking into his cane, before tapping it. "Hello, is this thing on? Testing, testing."

"Well, I heard you, loud and clear." Alastor's staff said.

"Um, you want to help with…"

"This ridiculous thing you're trying to do." Alastor said, appearing from the shadows behind them. "This hotel. I want to help you run it."

"You, wanna help with running this hotel of redemption?" Kaen asked. "Why?"

"Why does anyone do anything? Sheer absolute, boredom." Alastor stated. "I lacked inspiration for decades, my work became mundane, lacking focus. Aimless. I've come to crave a new form of entertainment."

"Does, getting into a on T.K.O fist fight with a reporter count as entertainment?" Kaen asked.

"Hahaha, it's the purest kind my boy." Alastor stated happily. "Reality, true passion. After all, the world is a stage, and the stage, is a world of entertainment."

"So, does this mean you think it's possible, to rehabilitate a demon?" Charlie asked.

"Of course not. That's whacky nonsense my dear." Alastor stated. "Redemption. Oh, the non-existent humanity. No, no, no, no. I don't think there's anything left that could save such loathsome sinners. The chance given was the life they lived before; the punishment is this! There is no undoing what is done." He said, while Vaggie and Angel sat on the love seat, with Vaggie covering Eri's ears.

"So then, why take an interest in the hotel, if you don't believe in my cause?"

"Charlie raises a fair question Alastor." Kaen said.

"Consider it an investment, in ongoing entertainment for myself." Alastor said, putting his arms around both of them. "I want to watch the scum of the earth struggle, to climb up the hill of betterment. Only to repeatedly trip, and tumble down to the fiery pit of failure."

"Right." Charlie said, as she removed his hand from her shoulder, while Kaen went to where Angel, and Vaggie were, with Eri snuggling up with the demon beasts.

"So, what's with Alastor?" Kaen asked. "I mean, I know his rep in the living world, but what's his deal down here in Hell?"

"He's an Overlord." Vaggie sighed. "He's known as the Radio Demon. He's one of the most powerful beings Hell has ever seen. You say he's stronger then you, but the margin gap between you two, might not be as big as you may think."

"Papa's the strongest one there is!" Eri smiled with a yawn.

"So, wanna explain to us his history here in Hell?" Angel asked.

"Decades ago, Alastor manifested in Hell, seemingly overnight." Vaggie said. "He began to topple Overlords who'd been dominant for centuries. That kind of raw power had never been harnessed by a mortal soul before. Then, he'd broadcast his carnage, all throughout hell, just so everyone could witness his ability. Sinners started calling him, the Radio Demon, as lazy as that is. Many have speculated, what imaginable force enabled him to rival our world's most ancient, and destructive evils. But one thing's for sure, he's an unpredictable source of danger, a wicked spirit of mystery, and a violent monster of chaos, the likes of which, we can't risk getting involved with, unless we want to end up getting erased."

"Sounds like the demonic equivalent to his cannibalistic mortal history." Kaen said. "He was known as the Louisiana Serial Killer, for a reason. An' it's not that far off from his methods down here, aside from the fact he had no powers or Quirks during his reign of life."

"Quirks?" Angel asked.

"A superpower. 80 Percent of earth's population now possess a unique or uncanny superpower, called a Quirk." Kaen said. "I happened to be one of them."

"Eh, not really big on politics. But he looks more like a strawberry pimp to me." Angel said.

"Well, I don't trust him." Vaggie said.

"An' you shouldn't." Kaen said. "If he's really an Overlord, then he's bad news. Because I'm assuming Overlords are the bosses who run their own territories around here, right?"

"You got it big guy." Angel smirked.

"Charlie, come here for a sec?" Kaen called, drawing Charlie's attention to them.

"What's up guys?" Charlie asked.

"We need to have a serious talk." Kaen sighed.

"Charlie, listen to me. You can't trust this creep. He isn't just a happy face." Vaggie said. "He's a deal maker, pure evil. He can't be redeemed."

"An' it's possible he's most likely looking for a way to destroy everything you're trying to do." Kaen added.

"I… ugh. We don't know that." Charlie said. "Look, I know he's bad, and I know he probably doesn't wanna change, but the whole point of this, is to give people a chance. To have faith, things will be better. How can I turn someone away, I can't. It goes against everything I'm trying to do. Everything I believe in. Just trust me, I can take care of myself."

"We trust your judgement Charlie." Kaen said. "But whatever you do, don't make a deal with him."

"Don't worry, I picked up one thing from my dad." Charlie smiled. "You don't take shit, from other Demons." She said, in an imitation voice.

"Kaen, get over here, really quick!" Charlie called out to him.

"What could she want with me?" Kaen asked, before heading to their location.

"Okay so, Al. You're sketchy as fuck, and you clearly see what I'm trying to do here, as a joke." Charlie stated. "But I don't, and neither does this guy." She said, pulling Kaen into the conversation, with a one-armed hug. "I think everyone deserves a chance to prove they can be better, that they can be more, so I'm taking your offer to help, on the condition you allow Kaen to be the third Co-Owner of the Happy Hotel!"

"What?" Kaen questioned.

"As well as the condition that there be no, trickster, voodoo strings attached!" Charlie stated.

"Wait, hold up I…"

"So, it's a deal then?" Alastor questioned, holding out his hand, causing it to glow green.

"Nope, no shaking no deals." Charlie said.

"Hold on, don't I get a say in…"

"As Princess of Hell, and heir to the throne, I hereby order that you help with this hotel, for as long as you desire." Charlie said. "That goes for you to Kaen. No arguments."

"Only a couple days in hell, and I already run a business with two more co-owners." Kaen sighed.

"Sound fair?" Charlie asked.

"Hmm… Fair enough." Alastor said, making his staff vanish as he went to look around.

"Cool beans." Charlie sighed as she relaxed.

"Charlie, what the actual Hell?" Kaen asked.

"I'm sorry, I panicked and that's the only thing I could come up with." Charlie stated.

"Smile my dear, you know you're never fully dressed without one." Alastor said, showing them, he'd addressed Vaggie, making her fuming mad.

"Look, I get being in a tough situation, but I'm not built for running a business, outside of a Hero Agency." Kaen stated, before Alastor came back to them.

"So where is, your hotel staff?" He asked, looking at Charlie.

"Uh well… so far it just consists of…"

Charlie turned to look at Vaggie, with Alastor and Kaen following her gaze.

"Oh, you're going to need more than that." Alastor said, readjusting his monocle, before stepping up to Angel. "An' what can you do my effeminate fellow?"

"I can suck your dick." Angel smirked.

"Ha." Alastor laughed. "No."

"Your loss." Angel chuckled.

"Well, this just won't do." Alastor said, manifesting his staff again. "I suppose I can cash in a few favors to liven this place up."

With a snap of his fingers, the fireplace looked better than new, with a soot covered little demon, sticking out of it, before he stepped to the fireplace, and picked the demon up. The demon soon after opened her eye, revealing she was a cyclops demon, no taller than Eri, wearing a red dress with a white apron.

"This little darling is, Niffty." Alastor said, dropping Niffty to the ground.

"Hi, I'm Niffty." She said, landing on her feet. "It's nice to meet you. It's been a while since I've made new friends. Why are you all women? Aren't there any men here?" She asked picking up Charlie and holding the Princess over her head, before she spotted Kaen, her eye looking him up and down. "Oh, a bad boy." She smirked.

"Uh what?" Kaen asked, before leaning back as Niffty jumped up and grabbed the collar of his costume.

"Bad boy. You're all mine." She chuckled sinisterly.

"Nope." Kaen said, pulling her off him, and dropping her back to the ground. "Alastor what the fuck?"

"My apologies, she's what I believe the Japanese would call a…"

"Yandere?" Kaen asked.

"That's the word." Alastor chuckled. "How did you know my boy?"

"I'm from Japan." Kaen stated. "My daughter too."

"Oh, no wonder you came to Hell." Angel said. "The Japanese are known for their anime porn involving underaged girls."

"Angel, say one more fucking thing insulting about my culture, and the Hotel is going to have one more vacancy." Kaen growled.

"My lips are sealed." Angel said.

"Oh man this place is filthy." Niffty said, as she went running around the lobby like a little speed demon, cleaning up everything she could get her little hands on. "It really needs a lady's touch, which is weird because most of you are ladies, no offence. Oh my gosh this is awful. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope!" She stated, cleaning up left and right finishing off by stabbing a bug with a sewing needle.

"The Hell? What the fuck is this?" A gruff voice questioned, drawing their attention to the front desk area, showing it had been completely replaced and renovated into a bar and mini-casino area, with a winged feline demon there, with poker card themed feathers and fur. His gaze instantly soured as soon as he saw Alastor. "You!"

"Ah, Husker my good friend. Glad you could make it." Alastor said, putting his hand on the feline's shoulder.

"Don't you, Husker, me you son of a bitch." Husker said, pushing Alastor's hand away. "I was about to win the whole damn pot!" He exclaimed as the gambling winnings returned to wherever the casino furnishings came from.

"Good to see you too." Alastor said, before Husker facepalmed himself.

"What the Hell do you want with me this time?" Alastor asked.

"My friend, I am doing some charity work, so I took it upon myself to volunteer your services." Alastor said, wrapping his arm around Husker's shoulders. "I hope that's okay."

"Are you shitting me?" Husker growled.

"Hmm. No, I don't think so." Alastor said, before Husker pushed him away.

"You thought it would be some kinda big fucking riot, just to pull me out of nowhere? You think I'm some kind of fucking clown?" Husker asked.

Alastor couldn't keep his face neutral as he responded.

"Maybe." He smirked.

"I ain't doing no fucking charity job." Husker said.

"Well, I figured you would be the perfect face to man the front desk of this fine establishment." Alastor said, appearing right behind Husker while pointing to the bar with his cane. "With you charming smile, and welcoming energy, this job was made for you."

Alastor just looked at Husker from over his shoulder with a smile, before walking up to the bar counter.

"Don't worry my friend. I can make this more welcoming." Alastor said, before manifesting a bottle of cheap booze. "If you wish."

Husker just stared at the bottle for a second, before turning back to Alastor, and walked right up to him.

"What, you think you can buy me with a wink and some cheap booze?" He asked, taking the bottle from the counter. "Well, you can." He stated, before he began drinking from the bottle.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!" Vaggie exclaimed. "No. No bar, no alcohol! This, is supposed to be a place that discourages sin; not some kind of mouth, brothel, mancave!"

"Shut up! Shut up!" Angel said, tackling her. "We are keeping this!"

"Get off of her!" Kaen exclaimed, pulling Angel off of Vaggie.

Angel didn't have to be told twice, and instantly went to the bar, and started flirting.

"Hey." He smiled at Husker.

"Go fuck yourself." Husker growled.

"Only if you watch me." Angel retorted suggestively.

"Oh my gosh, welcome to the Happy Hotel!" Charlie said excitedly holding her hand out to him. "You are going to love it here!"

"I lost the ability to love, years ago." Husker said, going to drink from his bottle, before stopping when he saw Eri peeking at him from over the bar counter. "The fuck you looking at kid?" It didn't go unnoticed that Husker had his attention set on Eri's white tiger ears and other feline features.

"Eri, it's rude to stare." Kaen said, picking Eri up and holding her in his arms. "Nice to meet you Husker, welcome to the Happy Hotel."

"So, what do you think?" Alastor asked.

"This is amazing!" Charlie cheered squealing excitedly.

"It's… okay." Vaggie begrudgingly said.

"Not too much of a change for me." Kaen said. "Charlie, I wanna offer my services as your bodyguard whenever you go out."

"What?" Charlie asked. "Why though?"

"It's just… I don't really trust that something won't happen to you." Kaen said. "Now, don't get me wrong, I'm certain that you're more than capable of handling situations on your own. But I'd still like to make myself useful around here, since I don't know the first thing about running a Hotel. I'm a fighter, not a businessman."

Charlie thought that over what Kaen said. He was right, with her power Charlie was one of the most powerful beings in all of Hell, but he also made a valid argument that he was built for fighting, not running a Hotel, especially one meant to redeem sinners.

"Very well." Charlie sighed. "I'll allow it."

"Splendid!" Alastor cheered, before he began working his magic, dressing everyone up like they were in the 1920's of America.

You have a dream, you wish to tell, and it's just laughable but hey kid, what the hell?

'Cause you're one of a kind, the charming Demon Belle.

Now let's give these burning fools a place to dwell.

Take it boys!

Inside of every Demon, is a lost cause, but we'll dress them up for now with just a smile.

(With a smile!)

We'll coordinate this cesspool, with some old redemption flare, and we'll show the simpletons proper class and style.

Oh, here bellow the ground, I'm sure your plan is sound.

They'll spend a little time, down at this Hazbin Ho-

Alastor was interrupted in the middle of his song, by an explosion destroying the front entryway, with one of the doors heading right for Niffty. But before it could hit, Kaen used his shield to deflect it over the little neat freak gremlin.

With that, everyone interested, poked their head out of the door, and up in the air, they saw a giant flying steampunk war machine zeppelin, with a death ray on the bow.

"Ha!" Sir Pentious said, popping out of the zeppelin. "Look who it is, harboring the stripped freak! We meat yet again, Alastor."

"Do I know you?" Alastor asked.

That caused Sir Pentious to deflate, before he went rushing back into his control panel.

"Oh, yes you do. An' this time I have the element of… Surprise!" He shouted.

"Let me handle this one." Kaen said, cracking his neck.

"But of course my boy." Alastor said.

Stepping up, Kaen crouched down, golden electricity dancing around his body, before he leapt from the ground, with a sonic boom, his fist pulled back.

"Detroit:…" He called out as he went straight for the zeppelin "SMASH!" He shouted, slamming his fist into the zeppelin's undercarriage, and sending it flying into the air.

"What the fuck!?" Sir Pentious shouted as he and his egg boys were jostling around inside the war machine.

Without hesitation, Kaen flew higher, surpassing the zeppelin, before he came back down spinning like a buzz saw, and hit it with an axe kick, causing him to wince in pain as he'd unintentionally used his injured leg to strike. With two opposing forces coming on the zeppelin, the war machine bent in half, crushing Kaen in the metal of the bending parts before it crash landed on the ground, erupting in an explosion of fire and scrap metal.

"Oh my God." Charlie gasped, her hands covering her mouth and nose. "Kaen!"

There was a somber silence for a moment, before the sound of creaking metal reached them, and Kaen stepped out of the wreckage, covered in minor burns, and scrapes, nothing too serious, or would cause any sort of bleeding.

"Papa!" Eri called out running to him.

"Hey Kitten." Kaen chuckled, bending down to pick her up as she ran into his arms again, this time crying. "It's okay, Papa's okay."

"I was scared I lost you again Papa." Eri cried.

"Papa's not going anywhere Kitten, I promise." Kaen said.

There was a moment of silence, no one making a sound.

That didn't last long however, as Kaen's ears caught the sound something wriggling, and turning to the wreckage, he looked to see a portal had opened up beneath the wreckage of the war machine, with giant black tentacles dragging it down. He turned back to the group, only to see Alastor was the one controlling them, before they vanished into the ground.

"Well, I'm starved. Who wants some jambalaya?" Alastor asked as if he didn't just create a portal, summoning a giant tentacle monster to clear the wreckage of Kaen's attacks. "My mother once showed me a wonderful recipe for jambalaya. In fact, it nearly killed her, ha-ha-ha. You could say the kick, came right out of Hell."

Kaen shrugged, sighing as he realized this was just something he'd have to get used to, as he carried Eri back to the Hotel, before stopping as he heard a crack of thunder, with a flash of lightning, and looking up, he saw that the word, Happy, had been replaced with the word, Hazbin. He looked to Alastor, realization hitting him that he was far more powerful than he'd ever thought possible.

"Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho, I'm on a role. Yes sir, this is the start of some real changes down here."

Kaen just chalked it up to Alastor taking part in his role as co-owner of the Hotel. But without another word, he passed Charlie and Vaggie, Eri in his arms, having cried herself to sleep with Charlie rushing after them to see if he was okay.

Vaggie, lagging behind, stopped in her tracks, when she saw a familiar golden substance on the ground, soaking through the pantleg of Kaen's suit, and dripping on the ground. It was the same golden liquid that flowed through her veins.

"No way." Vaggie gasped, her eye widening as realization just hit her.

This, was going to be an interesting partnership with the fallen angelic Saiyan, indeed.

A/N

I know Vaggie's hair is purple in the canon series, but I liked the original pink in her pilot design.
