Chapter Text

I Had to post this or else it would've been deleted. 

I planned on writing more Chapters before I fully begin to post . 

Earth 20xx

It was an early Wednesday morning, the sun was blaring through his cracked blinds, managing to shine into his face. Jason grunts, eyes tightly shut as he shoves his face into his pillow; away from the blinding sunlight. He pulled his blanket over his head as he evened out his breathing, ready to fall back to sleep.. 

“Jason! You better be awake right now or else I am going to  throw a bucket of water on you again!” His mother shouts from downstairs. “Don’t try me, young man!” 

Jason groans, he groggily opens his eyes and glares at his curtain that failed to contain the sunlight from reaching his room. He stretched, groaning as his bones cracked. He really needs to start exercising more or else he might end up feeling like an old man. 

“I made breakfast! Hurry up before it gets cold! You don’t want to be late for school!” His mother shouts. Jason rolled his eyes before getting out of bed and getting ready for the day. 

He is going to hang out with his friends after school. He hopes that his father can lend him some money for a bit of shopping. 

He went down to the kitchen and saw his sister and father already at the table, eating away their breakfast. His sister, Annie was scrolling through her phone but taking bites between her scrolling through instagram or whatever app she goes on. 

He sat down, and his mother put a plate in front of him. 

“Have any plans today?” She asked him, smiling at him before she sat down herself and began eating. Jason nods, taking a bite of food. 

“I want to go to the mall with my friends. Dad, can I borrow some money?” He asked. His father looked up before sighing and nodding. 

“Of course, just be back home before curfew.” He said. 

Jason nods before grinning. ‘Thanks dad.” 

His mother smiles at them before eating her own food. 

Suddenly, his sister frowns before muttering under her breath as she turns off her phone and turns it back on.  

“Is something the matter, sweetie?” His mother asked, furrowing her eyebrows as she watched her daughter curse under her breath. 

“No, something is happening to my phone.” She replies, she turns her phone towards him and her screen is just static.  Their parents frown, confused. 

“Did you restart your phone?” Jason asked, taking a bite. Sarah rolled her eyes before nodding, “Duh, I literally just finished doing that.” 

Jason swallowed his food before reaching in his pocket and taking out his phone. Turning it on, he blinked when his screen was the same as hers.  He quietly turns his phone over and stares into his fathers eyes. His parents' eyes widened and before he knew it, they were taking their own phones out and it was the same. 

“What on earth?” His father mumbles. 

“Is there a hacker on our network?” His mother asked, worried as she turned off her phone and put it on the table. 

“I don’t think a hacker can do this, hon. Perhaps our phone just didn’t update properly. I’m going to have to email the phone company about this issue.” His father spoke, he got up from his chair and walked into his office. 

“Man, this sucks.” Jason mumbles, leaning against his chair. Sarah groaned, she put her phone on the table and went to finish her breakfast. “I hope it gets fixed quickly, I need my music.” She mumbles, food in her mouth.

Jason gave her a disgusted look before rolling his eyes and finishing his breakfast. He glances at the clock before heading to the living room and turning on the tv.

He might as well watch something until his mom can take him to school. He has about 30 minutes left before they hit the road. 

“What the..” Jason mutters to himself when he tries changing the channel only to hit the same screen as the other one -  static. 

He kept changing the channels but everything was the same. 

“MOM! DAD!” Jason yells, feeling a bit freaked out. 

His mother came running in, her hands wet from washing the dishes. His father shortly walks in with a look of frustration on his face. His expression faltered when he noticed the tv screen. His mother looked afraid. 

“What is going on? Why is our TV affected?” His mother asked, worried as she unconsciously wiped her hands dry on her dress. 

“I’m not sure, but I couldn’t email anyone because the screen was the same. Just like affecting every screen in the house.” His father spoke,

“This is fucked up” Sarah said, leaning against the doorway. “Sarah.” His mother scolded her. Sarah lifted her hands in the air “What? Just saying.” 

They turned their head towards the door when they heard frantic knocking. His mother opened the door and it was their next door neighbor. If Jason looks out the window, he would notice that their neighbors are all outside talking to each other about the same situation and panicking. 

“Oh! Jenny, Justin! What can I do for you?” His mother chirped out, looking surprised. 

Jenny looked sheepishly but Justin looked a bit freaked out “I just wanted to come ask if you guys screens are all static? The whole neighborhood is the same!”  He burst out, nervously. 

His mother looked shocked, his father quickly gently pushed her away. “What do you mean? This is happening in the neighborhood? “

“It’s actually happening everywhere from what  I heard!” Jenny squeaked out. “I noticed that when I was driving around town that most TVs from bars and those TVs that are on through the windows are all the same! Plus, there were a lot of people outside talking about it! It apparently started around 6 am!”  She adds. 

“We don’t know for sure if it's just the city or if the whole country is affected. Not yet anyways. Officer William is trying to contact other stations from different cities.”  Jenny sheepishly looked away, her hand was suddenly all sweaty. She looked uncomfortable .

His father looked defeated, he sighs and rubs his forehead. “  Are there any phones that aren’t using screens at all? Like homephones or something?” 

Justin gave him a sad sigh before shaking his head. 

Jason looked baffled, he sat down on the couch and his sister sat down at the end of the couch. It was bizarre how it was happening around their city, he wondered if it was happening around the country. Surely the government is doing something about it. Or they might be the main source of this, to prevent them from learning something… They tend to do that. 

Jason stared blankly at the static, letting the conversation of his dad and their neighbor leap over his head. 

“I guess you kiddos are staying home. It seems like other parents are letting their kids stay home until this whole thing calms down.” His father spoke, glancing at the people outside. Most of it is cluttered together.  

“Awesome..” Sarah mumbles, wrapping her arms around her legs and leaning her head against her knees. She closed her eyes, “Does that mean I can go back to sleep?” 

Their mother tsked, before putting her hands on her hips, “Not a chance young lady, I don’t want you to screw up your sleeping schedule again.” 

“Then can I go see my friends?” Sarah asked. 

“Not until we know what's happening, okay Sarah?” Their father spoke. Sarah groans. 

“I’ll go ask around.. Check if anyone has any answers.” His father spoke, putting his shoes on and walking out the door. His mother leaned against the doorway before sighing and closing the door. She sat down on the couch. 

“What a way to start the day, huh?” Jason mutters, closing his eyes. His mother chuckled “Yeah, at least I don’t have to go to work today. I was really hoping to have a relaxing day off.” She replied. 

Suddenly, the screen froze and now there was a countdown on screen. 1 hour. 

Jason felt his heart flip in his chest before he burst out of the couch and opened the door and shouting for his dad, that there was a countdown on the screen instead of static.  His dad's conversation instantly stopped and he saw him run towards the house, Jenny and Justin followed closely behind him. Their own house was down the block. 

Sarah was white, face pale as she stilled, eyes on the screen. His mother wasn’t any better. His father burst into the living room and grit his teeth. 

“What’s going on?” Jenny mumbles, clutching her fist into her chest, trying to calm her heart. Justin peered outside again and saw that people were going inside the houses. “I don’t know but I am going to see if they are seeing the same thing.” He say, he put his hand on Jenny shoulder before gently kissing her cheek 

“Stay here.” 

“Please come back quickly.” Jenny said, worried. Justin nods before he leaves the house. 

“Could this be a terrorist attack?” Jason asked, he watched as his father sat in the middle of the couch and took a deep breath. At this moment, Jason can see just how old his dad was. He looked worn down, stressed. 

“Surely, maybe they just want some money for our network back.”Sarah hums, “If so, then I hope the government just gives it to them because I am bored as heck.” 

Jason rolled his eyes “Why so you can go back to messaging your boyfriend?” 

“I don’t have a boyfriend!” 

“Surrree. “ 

“Kids please, now is not the time.” His mother scolded them.

“Hmmp..” 

Elsewhere on Earth, 

In most cities, police stations were filled with worried citizens crowding the lobby and a huge group of people standing outside waiting for some sort of news about this situation. Police officers on scene were patrolling outside, making sure to calm the worried people so they don’t do anything irrational.

Meanwhile, inside the station were the higher ups frantically calling numbers, only to be met with the same result. Static. It is only the walkie talkie that they realize whatever it affects the screen, isn’t able to affect the radio. So they used the radio to communicate with other cities that managed to figure out that radio  is the only source of communication currently. Most police stations and important Authorities were discussing the plan and what is the news on tracing the culprit .

So far, there wasn’t any news on the progress, since monitors were hacked, it was difficult to try to  trace the source of the hackers. Despite this, they tried to regain control. 

When the countdown began, citizens were beginning to panic and it took every officer to calm them down and tell them no this isn’t the end of the world, don’t worry, we have it under control. While there were people who didn't believe them, it helped them relax a bit. 

Most went home to relax, having been told that radios work perfectly nice and to tune in radio stations for any updates. 

Most workplaces were shut down for the day, as their jobs heavily relied on the network so it made it useless to just sit at their desk doing nothing. It was ordered by the police to send people home with pay.  

People who worked graveyard shifts were oblivious to this situation as they were already home and dead asleep. They will wake up soon when the countdown hits zero. 

‘ It’s just in! It appears this problem is a world-wide situation, with different countries' governments working together to try and find the source of this situation. They are officially stating this  as a terrorist attack around the globe. 

What do the people who are responsible  for this really want? Is it for money? Is it for fame? Or is it just a silly prank for them? No one knows the answer and frankly, if it’s a joke then it isn’t funny. I hope you go to jail for life.  ”  

“It’s crazy how the entire world is experiencing this.” Sofia mumbles, she leans against her friend Lizzy. Joey and Micheal were sitting on the other couch. Lizzy gently combed through her hair with her fingers, gently untangling her hair. 

“Yeah, it’s kinda fucked up how no one knows what’s causing this shit show.” Micheal said, ignoring the scold from Lizzy for his language. Joey groans, laying down on Micheal lap as he puts his arm over his eyes. 

“It’s fuc-fudging boring dude. I never realized how much I miss having the internet.” He mutters. Micheal rolled his eyes before turning the page of the book he was reading. “That’s why you should read a book sometimes. It helps pass the time.” 

“I like reading my books digitally. “ Sofia mumbles, her face relaxed, enjoying the sensation of Lizzy fingers through her hair. It felt good. “Because it's affordable to buy it digitally than a physical copy.” She adds. 

Micheals shrugs, “That’s true.” He nods. “I just like having a bookshelf filled with books.” He spoke. “I have to thank your parents for buying me a bookshelf so I can keep my books safe here.”

Sofia smiles, her chest filled with her happiness. Sofia was an only child but her parents basically adopted her best friends.  She knew that her friend's own parents weren’t the best. Neglectful or abusive. But she never pushed them for information about their parents. She knew that they would eventually open up to her, but for now, she was happy that they felt safe around her parents. 

They even have their own rooms in her house. Her parents were wealthy, so they had a huge house with all empty rooms. She totally didn’t know why her parents had 3 rooms decorated to her friends' taste. Totally not.. She doesn’t know why… hmm hmm. She totally didn’t tell her parents what her friends enjoy. Nope.  

“Of course, she knows how much you like reading books. It’s not a surprise that mom would give you books you’ll enjoy. “ Sofia softly spoke, opening her eyes and smiling at Micheal. Micheal blushed before shoving his face close to his book. 

“You guys know that mom and dad love your guys' company.” She adds.

Lizzy chuckles, “I know what you said to them you little minx.” She mumbles. 

Joey laughs, nodding. “You don’t have to keep it a secret, Sof. “ 

“We are glad for it.” Micheal adds, lowering his book, his face was red but he smiled at her. “We can all agree that we see you as our little sister.” 

“And we also love your parents as our own parents” Lizzy smiles, gently braiding Sofia's hair.

Sofia grins before shuffling around and wrapping her arms around Lizzy's waist and tucking her face against her neck. Taking in her comforting scent and taking a deep sigh. 

 “I'm glad. You guys are always welcomed here.” 

Detective Mason groaned, hitting his head on his desk as he ignored his radio buzzing with multiple attempts of calls. He had been getting so many calls from his radio transmitter since this whole situation had happened. He never thought his radio transmitter would be so active again after so many years of it collecting dust.

Cell phones and computers were the norm nowadays and he thought to get rid of his radio ages ago but keep it for old time's sake. He regrets keeping it now with the many signals coming through. 

Like sure, he was a detective but this was way out of his league to do anything. Besides, he was sure that the government is doing something about this already so why not just wait until they figure it out? Leave him out of it!

“I need whiskey…” Mason mutters, rubbing his eyes as he can feel a migraine coming. 

It was no better on the Time Square, multiple people standing idly on the streets, waiting with baited breath as they watched the countdown reach 10 minutes. Some were quickly leaving and going home or just going to work. 

Most of the people were standing on the streets waiting to see what was going on. 

“You think its a terrorist attack?” A person in the crowd mutters, 

“It could just be teenagers hacking the TV..”

“But it’s happening everywhere you moron.”

“Yeah, our phones are the same as everyone else here in this bloody street.” 

“It has to be a terrorist attack.”

“I've never seen something like this..” 

Most of the crowd agreed before shuffling as they waited. They can only wait now. 

“I wish the timer would go down fast. I really want to see it before I go home. I won’t make it home otherwise.” 

Hell, Pride Ring , Happy Hotel

Charlie grimace, as she heard the distant sound of something breaking in the distance. She wasn’t really sure if this hotel would suffice but this was all she had currently. Even if it was a bit beat up, she cleaned up the rooms in the hotel so there's that! 

She wonders if she could use her magic to help brighten up the place but she didn’t really like using her magic. She loved to do things by her own hands. Though she might have no choice but use her magic to help refine the hotel so it wouldn’t fall apart on her. 

She glances at the main hall, frowning as there were spider webs already forming in the corner of the rooms. She just cleaned that damn it! 

She groans before collapsing on the couch face first into the cushion. Vaggie gave her a back rub, comforting her. 

“Is that tv still the same?” she said, muffled.

“It’s still the same but the countdown is at 10 minutes left” Vaggie replied, her hand was warm against her back and it comforted Charlie to relax. 

“It’s gonna be fucking crazy, it has to be a power play of a new overlord.” Angel piped in, grinning at the two. His phone was nowhere to be found. Not surprising since whoever was affecting the television screen was also affecting the phones.  

“A new overlord?” Charlie mutters to herself, she lifts her hand. “If this is a new overlord, then they are stronger than the Vees when it comes to the screens.” 

“You know the Vees?” Vaggie asked, surprised. Charlie tilted her head before nodding. “Of course I do, I know all the overlords in Pride rings. I’m the princess of Hell so I have to know about things like these.” She replies, frowning. 

“Just because I don’t look like it or act like it. I know all about the overlords..” She adds. “I want to make sure I know how to handle myself if there was ever a time where I needed to defend myself.” 

Angel raises his eyebrows. “What makes you think people are going to go after you?” He asked, curiously. 

Charlie snorts before rolling her eyes. “Because I am the princess of hell. People think I am weak because of my kind nature… They think if they can kill me, then they can kill my father.” 

“That’s rather idiotic.” Vaggie said. Charlie gave her a grin “Yeah, i know. I was thinking of asking my uncles and Aunts to help me improve my magic and train me properly. I know some defenses  but I lack experience. ” 

“I’d ask my dad but… We haven't really been talking recently..”  She adds, frowning. 

“Ohhhh~ Our sweet princess has daddy issues?” Angel teases, leaning towards her. Vaggie shoved his face away “Knock it off, Angel.” 

Charlie shrugs, hugging herself. “I guess, ever since my mom left, he hadn’t really left his office. I know he loves me but sometimes I think he blames me for the breakup.” She mumbles, closing her eyes so she won’t tear up. 

Vaggie pulled her into a hug. 

Angel didn’t say anything, just looked at the screen blankly. 

“Five minutes left.” 

Meanwhile, the Vee Tower. 

There was the sound of furniture crashing into the walls, glass being thrown against the floor as most employees scramble away to safety from the wrath of Valentino tantrum. Vox sighs, ducking as a glass of whisky was thrown over his head and against the wall. Vlevette was glowering on the couch, arms crossed as she glared into the tv screen. 

She glares fiercely at Valentino, daring him to break the tv.  The moth scowls, before reaching for the flower vase and throwing it over to the wall. 

“This fucking piece of shit! Who do they dare think they are to hijack OUR control over the network!” He shrieks. “Now I can’t film! This is making us lose money!” 

“You’re not the only one affected by this dickhead! So stop throwing a fucking tantrum you pissbaby!” Velvette shouted, grabbing a pillow and throwing it against Valentino's head.  “And you’re not the only one missing out! I had a show an hour ago but I had to cancel it because of this shit! You don’t see me throwing a tantrum!” 

Vox groans before grasping Valentino's shoulders before he can break anymore furniture. “Val! Stop this shit right now!” 

“But-”

“I am working on this! I have people already looking for the source of this shit and everything will go back to normal soon! We have the best technology for this! This dickhead won’t know what hit them.” He reassures the moth. 

“So. STOP. BREAKING. SHIT!”

Valentino huffs before going to his seat and sat down crossing his arms. 

“Thanks, Darling. I was getting a headache from this dipshit.”

“Fuck off.” 

Vox shook his head before putting his arms behind his back and walked towards the window that was thankfully Valentino proof. 

“We are getting close to finding out who is doing this. We might know who it is if we wait for the countdown to hit zero. Surely we might get the trace. “ He spoke, frowning. From what he heard from his employees, every ring of hell was experiencing this.

“From my intel, every ring is having this problem.” He said. Velvette turned her head towards him with surprise on her face. 

“Seriously? Is anyone that strong to broadcast these seven rings down?” She exclaims.

Vox tilted his head “It could be a new Overlord. Probably waited for the right time before doing this shit.” 

“You reckon he might be  interested in joining us?” Valentino mutters, taking a smoke before exhaling it. 

“I’m surprised you want this guy in the group.” Velvette replies. Valentino shrugs “Hey, maybe he will be a great addition to the Vees. “ 

Vox hums, ‘ A great addition to the Vee’s.’ 

“How many minutes before it ends?” 

“2 minutes.” 

Heaven, Pearly Gates

Saint Peter was sweating profusely as he tried to reassure the Winners that everything was okay and please go back into the gates that it wasn’t safe to be outside the safety of the gates.  He tried to calm them down but they were scared and looking at him for guidance.

‘Gosh..’ Peter thought to himself as he gently shuffled them back behind the gates. Looks like he would have to leave his post for a while. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a Cherub to take over his shift as he gently guided the scared Winners deeper into Heaven. 

“It’s alright! PLease calm yourself, I am sure the Angels are doing something to make things right so please go home and relax with a cup of tea and a good book to read to pass the time until this whole thing is over.” 

Some were relented but most of the crowd left, hopefully taking his advice. Peter sighed in relief but he stayed with the reminding Winners and gently calmed them. 

‘Please Sera, do something about this before I lose my mind!’ Peter thought to himself. 

Elsewhere, Heaven 

Emily was watching her older sister pace back and forth, muttering under her breath as she tried to rationalize this. 

“Shouldn’t I go to the winners and help them keep happy?” Emily asked, worried for the winners. Sera sighs before shaking her head. “No, I need you here. I’m sure Saint Peter is taking care of them.” She replies. 

“There’s nothing we can do.” Emily spoke out, furrowing her eyebrows. “Why not ask the Archangels about this situation?” She asked.

Sera turned to her, “No! We cannot let the archangels know about this!” 

“But why?! This is out of our control! We need their guidance!” 

“Emily! Stop asking, They told us we have to handle a situation like this ourselves, we cannot ask them for help for something as little as this.”

“Does this look like a small situation! This is huge, Sera!” Emily burst out, she flew up to Sera face to face. “We are powerless to stop whatever this is! We need their help!”

Sera looked at her with an expression she  didn’t understand. Sera gently took Emily's hands into her own. “Listen, Emily, you don’t understand..” 

“Please… Let me understand why you won’t ask them..” Emily pleaded, looking at with a helpless expression. Sera sighs and closes her eyes. “Because they will simply not help us, Emily.”  she replies. 

Emily furrowed her eyebrows, confused. “Why not? These are their people, why aren’t they helping them?” 

“This is something I can’t explain to you Emily. So please… Stop questioning their decision on this kind of matter.” 

Emily bit her lip before closing her eyes and sighing. She took her hands out of Seras before floating down to the floor. “Fine… Am going to help Saint Peter with the winn-” 

“Emily I cannot let you leave, I'm sorry.”  

Emily glances up at her with a shock expression “Why not! Isn’t it my job to keep them happy?!” 

Sera grimaced, nodding “But they will persistently ask you about this and we cannot let them know that we don’t know.”

Emily looks sad at the ground before defeatedly nods and goes to sit at the chair. There was a tv screen above the table, used for meetings. She sullenly watches the timer go 1 minute. It was time. 

Emily closed her eyes, her chest feeling hollow .

“Hello to everyone around the world. I bet you are all wondering what this whole thing is about. But first let me introduce ourselves. 

We are called ‘The Watchers’ 

We like to explore the multiverse and watch as the world progresses into interesting adventures. Often picking one important character of said universe.  We watch with glee as the important characters progress in their world. Watching with anticipation at their choices and outcomes of the ending. It’s what we do best.

After many adventures we watched, it was getting boring to see the same things happen over and over.  It was always the same trope with many stories we watched. While we don’t normally interfere with the multiverse, I thought we should spice things up a bit. 

We want YOU to watch with us about this interesting universe and explore the choices of this world's main character. 

We simply want to see what awaits us with this new plot twist.  

Will the future be the same? Or will it be different now that your future is exposed? We are quite excited to find out. 

We want new exciting things to happen and hope you’ll satisfy us with new choices . Do remember..

We are always watching…

Now, please enjoy the show. 🙂

Chapter Text

Heaven , 

“The Watchers? What is that?” Emily asked, looking at Sera for guidance, her expression worried. “Now what do they mean about exposing the future? Is that really possible?” Sera bit her lip. She took a deep breath before sighing.  

“I’m not sure, but it seems familiar.” Sera replies. “I’m going to have to go to the library and research. I sworn I heard the term ‘Watchers’ somewhere.” Sera said, she turns around and begins to fly out the door. Emily yelps before flying to catch up with her. 

“They said that they explore the multiverse, is it possible to go to different universes?” Emily asked. “I didn’t know there were different universes.”  

“It’s not possible to go into a different universe but multiple universes do exist. “ Sera admits, her face calm even though her mind was buzzing with panic.  

“It’s against Fathers rules to interfere with the multiverse, so we don’t know much about it. Father was always strict about this subject.”  

Emily licked her lips, she frowned before sighing.  While Emily was the youngest of the Seraphim, she felt like everyone was treating her like a baby. She is as grown as them, she just turned into an adult Seraphim! She wished the others would treat her like equals. Sure, she was still tiny but that doesn’t matter! She was an adult!  

Emily knows that Sera doesn’t really know what's going on but she can’t help but feel like Sera is purposely leaving her out of it. She was part of the order! She has to know as well!  

“Then what about the future? Can they really have the power to do that?”  

Sera sighed “ I don’t know, Emily. It shouldn’t be possible to know the future.” 

Emily  sighs before following Sera into the giant library she used to always visit before her job was to entertain the winners and keep them happy and safe.  

“The watchers… They didn’t have a body… Only eyes.. Isn’t that similar to an angel?” Emily asked, watching her older sister go through the books, picking some and adding it to the pile of books on the table.  

“Just because an entity has multiple eyes doesn’t automatically mean they are an angel, Emily.”  

Emily pouts before glancing at the books Sera had been piling up.  She gently took a book and wiped away the dust covering the book.  

“I thought the librarian would take care of the books.” She mumbles, tracing her fingers on the cover. “Unknown Entities and their mythology.” She mutters to herself.  

“Are you saying that there are entities heaven doesn’t know about?” Emily asked, furrowing her eyebrows.  Sera sighs before nodding “Yes, our father may have created life, but there were always other…entities lurking in the shadows. They had always been here, even before us.”  

“How is that even possible?” Emily asked herself, she opened the book and began to read. She had a few minutes to spare before the screens showed what “The Watchers” want to show them.  

She always thought that Father was the creator of everything.. To think of other entities that already existed along with Father seems…Scary. To think they don’t know anything about other entities that might lurk in the vast void called space. 

Emily wonders if that is the reason why Heaven is strict on staying within the golden gates. There were runes written on the gates, a language she didn’t understand. No one knew what it meant except the Archangels and Father himself. It was to protect them from whatever lurks in space…  

Except it seems to have failed.. 

Emily sighs, tracing on the words that are fading with time.  

In Hell, Lucifer’s Palace  

The sound of notification on his phone jolted him, the various pings of private messagings from many other acquaintances he gave his number to. He glances at his phone he left on the table behind him. His phone was buzzing, vibrating all over the table. He blinked before sighing and stopped what he was doing. Making another duck, no surprise.. 

He took his phone before it dropped to the floor. He frowns as he scrolls through the messages, all leading to the same message.  

Something had happened and he didn’t even realize it.  

He ignored most of the messages and opened up Charlie's messages. 

He tilted his head when she explained what was going on and to call her when he managed to get this message. It was a few hours ago. How odd, he normally gets her messages instantly and he always replies fast when it comes to her.  

So this situation with the hacking of the network all over hell.. Hmm.  

He doesn’t normally care about anything about technology, never found entertainment in watching shows nor does he care about the social media, he has employees to deal with that matter. Which made him think of the last time he last checked social media.. Specifically his account of hellstweet.  

Demons across hell know better than to talk about him in social media, at least years ago before… his divorce.   

He grimaces, thinking of all the possible discussion on his disappearance in public. 

But if Charlie is asking him for guidance on the hijacking of the network, he better get to work and fix it for her.  

He walked out of his room and any lingering Imps he hired years ago are still working for him, making sure his place was clean and tidy, all scattered out of his way, bowing down to him as he passed them.  Their expressions showed surprise and shock. It.. has been a while since Lucifer walked anywhere besides his workshop.  

He went to the living room, and turned on the Television and watched the replay of the incident that caused the whole ring of hell to panic.   

He frowned when the “Watchers” finished their speech and another timer came on, probably to get many people to comprend on what just happened.  

He sat down on the couch, thinking.  

An imp shyly approached him, holding a tray of tea and cookies. His favourite flavor of tea and cookie. Lucifer smiled, thanking the imp as they poured his tea before bowing and leaving him alone. 

  “I shall bring you your favourite lunch, your majesty.” The Imp spoke before closing the door.  

Lucifer sighs, shaking his head fondly. His employees were all loyal to him, never once quitting their jobs to find another master to serve and instead stayed by his side despite  locking himself in his workshop.  He still paid them for their work.  

He slapped his cheeks, come on! It’s time to concentrate!  

He hums, thinking about what the hacker called themselves. “The Watchers” He briefly remembers reading about something with that name somewhere. He was always curious about everything, wanting to learn new things and help create new things. The book was in heaven no doubt.  

He frowns, thinking about the times he spent in the library, reading book after book before he came across and a book about beings- entities  that existed long before time itself.  How there were many entities that existed long before Fathe– hmp, He created life.  

Before everything that happened to lead to his fall… Lucifer shakily exhaled, eyes closed as his heart was pounding in his chest. Now is not the time to remember…that.. 

He once asked… Him, about the book and the lack of information about the entities but he didn’t really get an explanation, only a few bits.  

The Watchers were beings that didn’t have a physical body, it exists everywhere. Everywhere. It’s an invisible being that lurks in the shadows and that’s all they do. Lurk and watch as time goes on. They didn’t have a purpose, they only liked to watch whatever interested them.  

Lucifer took a deep breath.  

He remembers when he..fell.. He remembers falling through a void of darkness and suddenly, there were many… eyes watching him with interest, as he fell to what he knows as hell. The various eyes staring at him like he was just an entertainment for them. Entertained at the fact he was in agony, betrayed by his family.  

There was no information on how to get rid of them.. Their intention was explained already, they intend to show them their knowledge of the future and wish to be entertained by watching their reaction to the future ahead of them.  

Lucifer can already feel them watching him right now…  

Hell, Pride Ring.  

Carmilla had been pacing around her office, thinking of a plan to help keep them safe. She knows that this being is implying. It was planning on showing them the future, exposing her secrets to the world to see. She can already smell war brewing after it exposes the fact that Angels can be killed. She cursed under her breath, she would have taken the body of the exorcist but there was a risk of being seen. Clearly, she was already seen… Just by something she didn’t expect.  

There was a safe house she built beneath her home, a bunker to say. It had plenty of food and water to last them for decades. The bunker was made with Angelic steel, strong enough to hold against magic and  sturdy to hold up strong attacks.  

It’s just.. She knew she had to say goodbye to her friend.  

She didn’t have room for an extra person and she knew deep inside that he wouldn’t accept her offer of safety. Rather to fight instead of running.  

“Mama?” Odette mumbles, walking up to her and taking her arm. “Mama, everything is going to be okay.” She reassures her. Clara grabs her other arm and they gently lead her to the couch.  

“We are going to be okay.” Clara softly repeated. She leans her head on Carmilla's shoulder and Odette does the same.   

Carmilla took a deep breath before exhaling and relaxed in the presence of her daughters in her arms. Taking in their scent and closed her eyes.  

“Yes, everything will turn out fine.” She repeats, opening her eyes, glinting with determination. 

I think we waited long enough.  

Now..  

Let's begin shall we?   

Let the fun begin  

Earth,   

Once the countdown was over, their screen was just black for a few seconds before multiple eyes appeared on screen. All focused at the camera, making most people shiver like the eyes were staring into their very soul.    

“Is this CGI?” People whisper to each other, staring at each other with confusion and a hint of worry in their chest.   

When they announced their purpose for hacking their monitors, people's phones were suddenly working, and they had access to their social media.  They wasted no time talking about it on social media.   

“Are we really believing that this will show the future? Like it’s stupid.” One posted online with multiple people replying and reposting it.   

“I don’t know… I think this is real because how else would they be able to take control of every single network?”   

“This has to be a government scheme!”  

“By every government? Seriously? “  

“It could happen! “  

“X for doubt.”   

“We seem to have forgotten to mention, while it would be interesting to let you figure it out by yourselves, we thought it wouldn’t be fair to third parties.    

We decided that we will be exposing the future of Heaven, and Hell. Yes, mortals, Heaven and Hell are real and it’s not what you think it is. At least, for this universe.   

We will be watching the future of Hell!   

Won’t that be interesting? We wonder, would you mortals change your morals once you know the truth? Or will you be the same? It would be interesting  to witness. “   

Earth ,  

Jason can feel the shock run through everyone in the room, confusion and fear running through their bodies as they  comprehend  the shocking news this creature had just told them. While Jason was dubious of the future being shown through television, he felt even more doubt knowing that Heaven and Hell are real. The real thing.   

He never believed in those spiritual or paranormal things, often wanting to see proof and these creatures are proving they are indeed real. He didn’t know what to think anymore.  

He thought of those moments where he mocked spirits and thinking they weren’t real and moved on with his life, he wondered if he had angered any paranormal entities with his mocking and now, he was weary of it.  He regrets it.  

Sarah, his sister, was floundering to her phone, her expression showing shock and far. She scrolled through her phone and began reading the media.  She flipped her phone around and Jason can see that everyone around the world was watching the same thing on their own television and that just proves that this is indeed happening and not a dream.   

“Mom, dad, this is happening everywhere..” Sarah whispers, her face pale with fear as she turns her phone back and turns it off.   

His father gulps, he looked like he didn’t know what to do.   

“We.. Are just going to stay in the house until everything blows over. You guys got it?” He spoke. Everyone nods and his father turns to Jenny who is still lurking in the back, she is fidgeting as she constantly glances towards the door where Justin disappeared.   

“Jenny..” He spoke. Jenny nervously gave him  a weak smile.   

“Jenny, you can stay here until your husband comes back or you can go home.” His dad gently told her. Jason watched as Jenny took a nervous gulp, she was playing with her hands as she closed her eyes.   

“I want to wait for Justin to come back.. I don’t want to be alone. “ She replies. His dad nods before gently ushering her to take a seat. They had a few more minutes before it began. His mom goes into the kitchen and makes them a fresh cup of tea to help them relax.  

His dad was on the phone, talking to someone, his frustrated tone made it seems like whoever he was talking to wasn’t having it.    

Jason pulled out his phone and began to scroll through the media, the Watchers trending on twitter as there were more and more posts being about them. Over 3 millions mentions.   

He checked the hashtag and began scrolling through people's post.   

“Are we really believing that Heaven and Hell are real?” There were replies to this post, stating that christians were right about God being real and that heaven and hell were real and they always believed it.   

“Heaven is real people! Believe in the word of God and save your soul! Pray to God now before it's too late.” With a horrible edited picture of Jesus and crosses.   

Jason turns it off and sighs, “To think heaven is real..” He said, mostly to himself. His mother returned with a tray of cups.   

She gave each of them a cup and sighs. “I cannot believe my mama was right..” She mumbles to herself and takes her own cup and sits down.``She was always religious… Looking down at people because they don’t follow the rule of god…” She sighs, she looks at her cup.   

“Isn't she homophobic?” Sarah asked, Jason smacked her. “Ouch! It was just a question!”   

“You know how grandma treats mom! You don’t just bring that hag up!” Jason replies, glaring at his sister. Sarah winced, she gave their mom an apologetic face.. “Right… Sorry mom.” She apologies.   

Their mom just gave them an amused smile before shaking her head. “It’s alright, I grew past your grandmother. And to answer your question, Sarah, she was homophobic. She was just plainly an evil woman… To think she believed in god and still treats everyone like shit. “   

Jason hums “Christians always treat others like dirt when they don’t pray to god like they do… Isn’t the whole point of god is that you treat others with kindness no matter what?”   

His mother smiles and nods “It is..”   

His father walked in and sighs “It’s my boss, he was insisting that I come into work despite the computers not working.”   

His mother frowned “Really? But you would just sit around like sitting ducks if you were to go to work”   

“I told him that and he didn’t want to listen.”  

“Are you going to work?” Jason asked, frowning and crossing his arms. His father shook his head. “No, I am not. I told him nothing will be done today since everythings down. Threaten to fire me as well. “   

“Well, are you?” His mother asked, looking concerned. His father sighs and nods/ “It doesn’t really matter anymore, that job was shit and toxic anyways. Besides, your uncle had a job opening for me. Offered me a job when I ranted about my old boss.”   

His mother smiled, she held out a cup of tea and his father chugged it down. “Careful! It’s still hot you buffoon!”

Still Earth,   

“Father? There is a situation I feel like you need to know..” A boy said, knocking on the door. He fidgeted with his robes and waited patiently. He was sent to fetch Father to inform him about the situation that was happening around the world.   

All the sisters were in the back room, murmuring to themselves as most prayed to themselves. It was a shock to them all, of course they believed in God but to think a creature of Hell was the one who told them made them uncomfortable.   

The boy, Marvin, heart was beating loudly in his chest as he tried to calm his breathing, taking in deep breaths just like Father taught him. He owed a lot to Father.. He taught him many things his own family didn’t bother to. He was adopted by his foster mom, who allowed him to work for the church since that was what he wished.   

Father Todd opened the door, surprised. “What is the matter, Marvin? Are you hurt?” Father Todd asked, concern written on his face as he leaned down to check his forehead.   

Marvin shook his head before he gently took Father Todd robes and gently tugged on it. “There is something happening… You must come see! Sister Mary told me to come get you.” Marvin spoke, urgently.   

“Now, my boy, calm yourself. Remember what I taught you.” He gently soothes the boy. Marvin closed his eyes and took a deep breath and exhaled. His heart slowly calm down, no longer rapidly beating in his chest that felt like it wanted to burst out of his chest.   

Father Todd gently smiled at him, “That’s it my boy. Now, care to explain what made you panic like this?”   

Marvin, sighed, he shook his head. “I don’t… I don’t know how to explain.. “   

Father Todd tilted his head and nodded, sighing “You said that Sister Mary wanted me?”   

Marvin nods and points to the back room where they can relax. A place Marvin was allowed to stay in if he wishes to. A place where he can watch cartoons or read if he wanted to. He was free to do whatever he wanted, as long as he behaved and didn’t disrupt anyone.   

“She is over there, along with the others.” He explained. They started to walk down to the break room. Father Todd blinked. “Everyone? Goodness, it must be urgent if everyone is there.”   

Marvin nods, he frowns “There is something happening around the world… At first, everyone thought it was rapture but we are still here.. Am still here…” He mumbles the last part. He knew that children would be taken to heaven if Rapture were to happen, the sisters and Father Todd told him that..  

“But we realized it was something else..”   

“Something else?”   

Marvin sheepishly looked down “I think Mary can tell you more… “   

“Okay, thank you Marvin.” Father Todd said, smiling at the boy before they opened the door to the break room.   

Most of the Nuns were huddled together in this room, some praying and most muttering to each other as they glanced at the screen. Mary looked relieved, she hastily walked towards them .  

“Father! It’s horrible! Absolutely horrible! There is a demon on earth causing riots around the world!” Mary frantically said, fear in her expression as she clutched her cross necklace. “They are broadcasting their schemes live on television!” She adds, pointing to the only television they had in the church.  They only bought it for Mavin to entertain the boy while he was in church when he felt like visiting. His foster mom trusted them to keep him safe.   

Father Todd looked conflicted, he glances at Mavin and the boy nods “It’s true, i was watching cartoons when the tv went static… I thought there was something wrong with the channel so i ask Sister Niki about it and she told me her phone wasn’t working as well.” He explained. He point to the tablet that he brought from home, it had his games.   

“My tablet isn’t working as well.. Before anyways.. It’s working now but only that one..”   

Niki came forward and showed Todd the media. “Look! It’s happening worldwide! What do we do?” She mumbles, frowning.  

Father Todd took a deep sigh, he rubbed his hands over his eyes before opening and gently comforted the others.   

“Don’t worry! Everything will be fine, I am sure our heavenly father wouldn’t allow this demon to cause trouble to humanity. All we have to do is wait and pray to him.”  

Marvin shuffled uncomfortably behind him and Father Todd gently kneeled down. “My boy, what is the matter? Everything is going to be fine.”   

Marvin turned to the side and sighs.   

“Before that, before everyone came into the room… The.. demon said something about heaven…” He mumbles.  

The voices around the room faded into silence. All eyes were on the boy as he shuffled back. Father  Todd waved them off, frowning at them.   

“What do you mean, my boy?” He asked.  

Marvin bit his lip “Well, before there was another countdown, the demon said that it would expose the… corruption of heaven…”   

“What?  

Impossible!  

What are you talking about?! “ The other Nuns exclaimed, looking furious. Sister Niki and Mary both glared at the rest of the nuns.   

Father Todd looked shocked. Sister Mary and Niki moved forward,   

“It's kinda true, Father. The.. beings spoke that they will expose the truth of both heaven and hell.. Not just heaven.”  

“That can’t be true..”   

“There is no way…”  

“Silence.. Please..” Father Todd sighed, he glanced at the screen timer.   

“If you say it true.. Then I believe we must just watch…” He adds.   

‘If it’s true… Then I spent my life worshiping the wrong god.’ He thought to himself.   

Heaven, Library   

Emily looked a big shocked, her hands on her mouth as she stared at the screen with disbelief. She turned to Sera with horror.  

“Sera, what do they mean? Expose the corruption of heaven?” Emily asked, she looked at her older sister with an expression Sera didn’t like. Sera turned her face away and took a deep sigh. She can feel her eyes opening but she suppresses it down.   

“That is nonsense, Emily. They just want to get people to turn against heaven. These are demons that want to cause trouble to heaven. Nothing more.”   

Emily didn’t believe her but didn’t question Sera. She knew that the answers she wanted could get from the screen.   

“Does that mean that earth is watching this as well?” She asked, she looked at the screen with anxiety in her  chest as she clutched her chest.   

Sera froze, horror written on her face as she turned to the screen. ‘Oh no.’ She thought to herself.   

If this exposes her secret of the extermination.. Then the archangels will punish her for her secrets. She was doing this behind their backs. To keep heaven safe, she reminds herself. Only, she is supposed to tell Gabriel about this but she knew that the archangels weren’t really doing anything anymore ever since Lucifer fell. She had to do this to keep heaven safe.   

She knew what she was doing…   

She had to know what she is doing…   

All to keep heaven safe…   

Earth ,  

“It’s beginning...” Sofia mumbles, holding the pillow to her chest as she watches the screen turn black for a moment.   

Micheal and Joel looked uneasy, glancing at each other. Lizzy was leaning against her.   

“Indeed… It’s still crazy how this is actually happening.” Lizzie replies, she was playing with her hair, wrapping her hair around her finger. “What do you think of the ... Watchers; when they said about exposing heaven?”  

Sofia looked uncomfortable, biting her lip as she felt the necklace around her neck feel heavy. Like a chain. She doesn’t understand why. She glances at the Jesus picture hanging in her living room. Her parents were Christian, her grandmother was a huge Christianity person, you would often see a lot of bibles all over her house, in every room. She basically grew up with it. To think that the watchers basically said they will expose heaven makes her... think that heaven wasn’t what they all think.  

Micheal didn’t respond, but his expression held the answer. Joel shrugs, not wanting to answer but his body language spoke it. Sofia sighs.  

[ Once upon a time, there was a glowing city protected by golden gates,  

As the woman narrates, the screen flickers to a scene with clouds, as the camera zooms in, it reveals a glowing city. ]  

Charlie blinked, she pointed to herself when she heard her own voice narrating. Vaggie fondly shook her head. “Of course it would be you, babe.” She gave her a fond smile. “Only you.”   

“Hey, at least we know it’s about hell.” Angel muttered, he was laying on the couch, arms crossed as he watched. “Or heaven. I guess.”   

“Well, the watchers did explain that it was exposing both heaven and hell… Only thing is, I didn’t expect myself to be narrating it.” Charlie said, furrowing her brow as she watches the screen explain heaven. Something she was all too familiar with.  

“This is from my book.” She mumbles.  

[ known as Heaven  

Golden gates appeared, protecting the glowing city.  It’s heaven. ]  

Father Todd and the rest of the nun stare amazed at the image of heaven. It was like they really imagined how heaven would look like. Marvin tilted his head and bit his lip as he stared at the pearly golden gates surrounding the city.   

It looked beautiful.   

To think that it was just as corrupt as the government.   

[ It was ruled by beings of pure light.  

It appears that Heaven is similar to a planet, with pure white rings circling around it.  beings appears covered in a white silhouette.    

Angels that worshipped good and shielded all from evil.  

The silhouette of the beings suddenly revealed themselves, it was the angels. They weren’t as beautiful as most mortal claims they were, in fact they had golden fire with spheres around the fire as heads. The spheres had many eyes and multiple wings attached to the sphere with eyes implemented in them. They were as described from the bible. ]   

“ So… Angels really look like that huh?” Jason mumbles to himself as he stares with amazement at the scene with the angels and heaven.   

Heaven looked really like he imagined it to be. Clouds, and buildings, I guess? He didn’t really think there were cities though.. He honestly didn’t know what to expect. Just angels chilling on the clouds?   

[ Lucifer was one of these angels.  

Another being appeared on screen, shaping into a figure of a man with 6 wings and a top hat. It was Lucifer himself.  ]   

Earth ,  

Most people were still shocked about the fact that heaven and hell were in fact real but to think that the devil himself was real? It made them scared.  That the serpent of evil was in fact a real thing. Most people who knew that they were going to hell paled at the fact they were indeed going to hell. Most just want to ignore the fact that they did terrible things in their life and now knowing hell is real?  

It made them afraid of death.  Of the consequence of their actions.  

They knew they were beyond redemption, but it wouldn’t hurt to try now… right? There are some people who won’t redeem themselves and are doomed to fall.  

A woman whose house was filled with religious items clutched her cross and prayed to the gods. She stared at the devil with disgust on her face as she closed her eyes away from the fallen angel.   

“Disgraceful” She spatted out.  

[ He was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for all of creation.  

The silhouette of Lucifer with a grin, lifted his hand in the air and a burst of magic came from his hand. He flew backwards and into the air as fireworks burst around him, joyful. ]   

Alastor, who was lurking in the shadows, tilted his head at the screen of the King of Hell. He always heard the stories of the devil, often thinking of him as the stereotype looking devil like a goat or skin red with horns and tail. When he was mortal at least.  

He realized that the king of hell just looked… Beautiful in the portraits.   

After all, Lucifer was God's favourite angel.   

Alastor grin widened, he stared at the shadow silhouette of Lucifer for when he was an angel. Even then, he can see how he was the favourite.   

[ 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.  

Lucifer quickly flew down looking dejected; as the other form of Angels scolded him for his mischief. ]   

Charlie frowns, biting her lip as she watches the shadow of her father looking down as the others look down upon him. She knew that her dad never liked to talk about Heaven, often deflecting her questions or he would be unresponsive for hours to the point her mom would take her from his arms and leave dad in his workshop. It was then that her mom forbade her from bothering her dad from then on.   

That was when she learned not to ask about it ever again, whenever she interacted with her dad years later.   

[ So he watched as the angels began to expand the universe in their ways.  

Lucifer was watching from afar, with envy as the other Angels began to create life]  

Heaven,   

Emily watched the screen, softly smiling at the image of her fellow angels but frowning when she saw Lucifer looking sad at their rejection. She turned to ask Sera a question, but it faded when she saw the grief on Sera's face.   

She bit her lip before turning back to the screen, the book in her hand forgotten.   

[From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith.  

A Hand reached into the golden stream of light and gently pulled the light upwards, covering the screen. It faded into a beautiful garden, and two people appeared on screen. A man, and a woman. It was the first humans, Adam and Lilith. ]  

 “Lilith?” The boy, Marvin, asked, confused while looking up at Father for answers. The other sisters were mumbling to each other, giving each other glances while staring at the silhouette of Lilith.   

Father looked down at him with a soft smile and patted his head.   

“Looks like it, my boy. Lilith was rumored to be the first woman before Eve..  She was mentioned in the Jewish mythology of the bible.” He explained. Marvin tilted his head and looked at the screen.   

“How come she isn’t in the bible?” He asked. Father Todd looked at him with a sad smile.   

“It was said that Lilith was created with the same soil as Adam, thus making her equal to Adam, unlike Eve who was made from his rib.” Father spoke.  

“Is that why? Because people didn’t like the fact that a woman is equal to man?” Marvin looked puzzled, frowning. Father Todd chuckles “I’m afraid so. In the past, men didn’t look too kindly to women.” He replies.  “Even if she was made from the same soil as Adam, she was still forced to obey Adam, refusing them; they banished her from the Garden.”   

Marvin nods, looking back at the screen, frowning.   

[Equals as the first of mankind, but despite this, Adam demanded control and Lilith refused to submit to his will.  

Adam was shown to be wanting in control, ordering Lilith around with the point of a finger while giving her a smug smile. Lilith refused to submit to his orders, shaking her head, she used her hand to stop Adam from speaking again. ]  

“Of course, the first man is a misogynist, why am I not surprised” A woman bitterly spat out, glaring at the screen. She glares at the figure of Adam. Her gaze softened at the figure of Lilith.   

“Tell him, girl. Tell him off” She mumbles, she quickly shuffles through the crowd of people, not wanting to stand around when she has a tv in her own home. She will let the stupid people stand in the cold windy morning. “I got up to work for this shit. Unbelievable. “She cursed, her workplace was canceled, having to work in a desk job so it was useless to stay there when she can relax on her couch with cup of tea and a blanket around her shoulders while she watches the world burn.  

[She fled the garden.  

Before Adam can say another word, Lilith turns around and flees far away from Adam, away from the safety of the garden. She refuses to submit to Adam.  

“Atta girl!” A group of teenager's grins at each other as they cheered Lilith for running away from a man. They booed at the silhouette of Adam, making faces at the man. “Little bitch goes crying to the angels i bet” One of them says, cackling.  

The other girls all laughed before nodding.  

“I bet he went crying to his mommy, even though he doesn’t have a mommy!”  

“Ha! Motherless behaviour!”    

[Drawn in by her fierce independence,  

Lucifer found her and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love.  

Lilith was on the ground, holding her face as she tried to calm herself down and thinking what she should do next. Clearly, she couldn’t go back to the garden. She wasn’t helpless, she could handle herself just fine.   

Suddenly, an angel she had never seen before descended to her. He was beautiful. Lilith felt her heart flutter in her chest as the Angel took her hand and gave her a gentle smile filled with kindness. ]  

“Lucifer and Lilith?” Jason mutters to himself. “I heard about Lilith being the first wife of Adam but I didn’t think it was real. “   

Sarah nods, “Yeah, I heard about her but I didn’t really know much about her. I didn’t know that she fell in love with the devil.”   

Their mother frowns “I don’t think it was mentioned that Lilith fell in love with Lucifer.. It was said that she was coupled with Archangel Samael,”   

“Samael?” Jason asked  

“Yes, Archangel Samael was an Angel of Death… Then again, it might be Lucifer's old name…” Their mother replies. She shook her head and sighs.   

“I don’t remember much, it’s been a long time since I read it.. Pretty sure Lilith is from the Hebrew bible or something like that. “   

Hell, Happy Hotel  

Charlie softly smiled at the screen. Her book usually had pictures of the silhouette, but to see it animated was amazing. It had been 7 years since she last saw her parents together in the same room. Or rather, more than 7 years.   

She didn’t remember the time where her dad came out of his workshop, she knew he locked himself because of their arguing.  Despite them trying to hide their fights from her, she can hear the shouting from her room.   

That was when her mother began to isolate her from her father and she didn’t know much about her father.   

[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.  

Her angel, Lucifer felt the same as her, together they went back to the garden and wanted to share the magic of free will to Adam's new bride, Eve. Lilith watched silently as her angel took a piece of the apple from the forbidden tree, shapeshifted into a white snake and poofed back into his human form and offered the apple to Eve; who accepted the apple with a smile. ]  

Heaven, Streets  

Adam glowered at the giant screen, pointing a middle finger at the figure of his first wife and his number 1 enemy. ?The wife stealer. Bitch ass bitch!  

He growls when he notices the glances of the winners, at this point he knows that his yearly activities are going to be exposed and he needs to hide until everything is settled.  He bit down the panic that was beginning to overwhelm him. He doesn’t want to appear weak and helpless when his secrets get exposed.   

In reality, he was fucking scared of when this get out to the Archangels. He knew that he was doomed to die, this activity was a secret of theirs. Sera and the other Seraphim kept this piece of information a secret for hundred of years and this fucker is going to ruin everything!   

Lute followed closely to him as they quickly flew to the main building where Sera was. He burst open the door and didn’t bother closing it before going down the hallway where he knew that Sera was always in.  

“Sera! We need a plan to keep this from the ears of the archangels!” Adam shouts, bursting Sera's office door and pants at the amount of exercise he just did to make it from his apartment to his workplace.   

“Dude! What the fuck!” Adam exclaims when he notices that Sera wasn’t present.   

“Where the fuck did she go?”   

Lute swiftly came behind him “Sir! Sera is in the library with Emily.” She salutes   

“I asked around and they told me they witnessed her going towards the library.”   

Adam groans “Fucking damn it.”   

“Wait.. You said she is with Emily?”   

Lute nods, looking grim.   

Adam cursed under his breath before took a deep sigh. “Shit, okay… We just have to make sure that the higher up don’t have wind of this yet. Yet.” Adam mutters.   

[But this gift came with a curse.   

For with this single act of disobedience, evil finally found its way into Earth.  

Eve was holding the apple with a grin, the apple glowing red as the camera zooms in on the  red glow of the apple. The screen was red as black tentacle came rushing upwards earth, grasping the planet with a tight grasp. ]  

 Earth, Time square   

“And thus, pregnancy became a bitch.” A woman mumbles to herself as she watches on the big screen. Other people around her were nervously watching and she could see people holding out their crosses, mumbling prayer under their breath.   

Clearly,  it was a huge shocker to know that Lilith was the first wife of Adam and not Eve.   

She was shocked to know that Lilith was truly a real person and not a made-up person in other bible verse.  She found it quite interesting reading other versions of the bible.   

She tilted her head at the devious grin Eve had when she was given the apple, unsettled. She didn’t hesitate to bite the apple when it was given to her by the snake and Lilith.   

Guess Adam was a douchebag even his second wife hated him .  

[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,  

In Heaven, it shows the angels hovering over Earth, jolting back in shock as the planet cracked. They turned to Lucifer and Lilith, who were holding each other filled with dread and fear as they watched the other angels pointing their fingers at them both with glares in their eyes.  

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.  

They cast them out of heaven, they fell into the pit of darkness they had created. Lucifer was looking down on his creative magic, looking with sorrow as he closed his eyes when his magic changed shape into something sinister.   

Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream.  

Lucifer turned away, unable to bear the witness of humanity anymore. Feeling regret in his chest as the lights flickered before burning out. ]   

“Oh dad..” Charlie whispered, looking with sorrow in her eyes. She could feel tears built up in her eyes, but she blinked them away. She took a shaky sigh, before looking at her girlfriend. Vaggie gave her a weak smile, her arms wrapped around her own waist.  

[But Lilith thrived, empowering demon-kind with her voice  

and her songs. And as the numbers of Hell grew,  

so did its power.  

Unlike Lucifer, Lilith was seen thriving. She loomed over hell, singing her songs as more demons began to grow and buildings were starting to get built. Hell is getting powerful. ]  

Hell , Pride Ring  

“I miss her concerts; her voice was enchanting.” A sinner mumbles, she leans forwards with a wistful expression. “I went to all her concerts when I arrived in hell.” She adds, grinning to herself.  

“Really? How long had you been in hell?” The younger sinner asked, curiously. He was in hell only for 4 years, he heard about Lilith. How her concert was always filled, and she was very popular for centuries. He was jealous for not being able to witness her in person when he listened to Lilith songs.  

She grins and leans down to him and pokes his nose. “Are you calling me old, you dipshit?”  

The younger demon quickly shook his dead, waving his hands. “No! No, no no! I’m just curious!”  

She cackles before slapping his back, making him yelp with her strength, causing him to slam against the counter. It was surely to bruise tomorrow.  

“Yeah, she was a beauty. Her voice was just so alluring and made you forget about this shitty life we live now.” She replies, smiling. “Makes you regret what you did as a mortal. But hey, we wouldn’t hear her sing if we didn’t end up in end eh?” She adds, grinning at him.  

“Hopefully this shitshow will let us know what happen to her.”  

[Threatened by this, Heaven made a truly heartless decision.   

The camera pans up, revealing a beautiful angel, she looks sadden and she stares down into hell. ]  

Heaven,  

Emily frowned; she was feeling dread as the show progressed. She was already disheartened by the treatment she saw by Lucifer, but she was feeling. Something... in her chest about what this is going.  

She saw Sera stiffen at the corner of her eye, but she kept her gaze towards the screen,  

Else where, Adam is frantically flying towards the library, while everyone else in heaven was feeling dread, not liking where this is heading.  

[ That every year, they would send down an army,  

an extermination to ensure Hell and its sinners could never rise against them.  

Another angel came into view, it looked nothing like the angel behind it. It had a sinister grin on it;s face, horns that lean back and a halo, indicating that it was in fact an angel despite its demon look. It wore a robe with symbols and bright golden wings. This angel was the leader of the extermination.   

Multiple angels appeared on screen, all flying down to hell and holding spears. They had the same expression as its leader.  ]  

Heaven,  

Emily felt the air leave her lungs as she stared at the screen with horror and shock. The feeling in her chest intensifies as shock filled her body. She can feel herself losing control over her human form.  

She slowly turns to Sera with a heartbroken expression, and it broke her more when Sera didn’t look at her. Her expression showing regret, her eyes closed and clutching her book harshly.  

Heaven, elsewhere  

Molly was having a good morning, she got up from her bed and decided to make some tea to help her wake up more to do some errands she needed to do before noon. She needed to go to the grocery store and buy some food, she and her mother were going to have a birthday dinner.  

It was her mother's birthday and Molly wanted to cook her mother's favourite meal. It was meant to be a good day. It was supposed to be just another day, a repeated day.  

She watched the screen with terror and fear. The image of the Adam grinning with blood thirty haunted her.  

She remembered catching a glimpse of the first man on the streets. She didn’t talk to him or anything because she assumed he was always busy seeing how he was higher than them. Working with the seraphim's. She also watches with admiration of the angel's soldiers. Lute's Sisters.  

She knew that heaven wasn’t unprotected, and they served to protect them from harm, but she didn’t think that... They went down there and slaughtered the demons...  

She doesn't want to know if... if... if her brother was one of those demon that were killed without care. She knew that Anthony died from overdose, and she accepted that she won’t ever see him again because of the way her twin brother lived when they were alive. But he didn’t disserve to be killed again! Anthony wasn’t a killer!  

Molly can already hear the uproar outside her apartment. The shouting of injustice outside her window and she whole Heartly agreed with them. There were sinners that didn’t disserve a second death, they were already paying for it by being sent to hell.  

Molly clutched her mother's hand; she could feel her poor mother shaking at the implication that Anthony might be one of those demons that were slaughtered. Molly bit back a sob and tried to be stronger for her mama.  

[But Lilith's hope remained. And her dream was passed down to their precious daughter the Princess of Hell.  

It showed a figure of a woman, gently holding a glowing red heart to her chest. It zoomed out, revealing the princess of Hell, the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith.  Her red glowing eyes opened and she stares into the camera, her kingdom behind her. ]   

Earth,  

“A daughter... Of Lucifer?” Father Todd mumbles to himself, staring at the screen with shock. He clutched his cross to his chest and the shock mutters of the other nuns were heard in the background.  

“The bible never told us that he had an offspring.”  

Marvin stared at the princess of Hell. Despite everything wrong with hell, she looked...normal. Nothing about her screamed “Demon” to him. Minus the red eyes but that was all..  

[“ Don't worry, Mom. I'll make you proud. “  The woman said, we are finally able to see the narrator herself.  

  The scene ended as the book closed, “The Story of Hell”.  There was a woman holding the book on her lap, a key was floating in her hand as she brought the key closer to her face, she gently closed her fist around the key and looked outside her window.   

The woman was beautiful. She had blond hair, tied to her back with two ribbons holding it back. She was pale, with red eyes and red rosy cheeks and a black button nose. She was wearing an all red suit.  ]   

Hell,  

Lucifer smiled bitterly at the book he made for Charlie. He didn’t expect her to keep the book, it looked like it was well kept, so sign of age damaged on the book. It was loved and cared for. Lucifer felt his chest warm at the treatment of his book he made just for Charlie.  

He knew that Charlie really loved that book.  

His smile faded when he remembered that he censored a lot of things in the book, mainly what happened in the garden of Eden. It wasn’t like what he wrote, and it was more...violent. Plus, he changed around the names of the angels that were present during the creation of life. Not wanting to include... certain people he wishes to forget. he left Sera in the book.  

Lilith was against the making of the book, but she relented when Charlie all but begged her for it.. She gave her the book once he was finished with making it. She didn’t bother reading it to Charlie though. Lucifer would read it to her when he wasn’t... busy.  

He took a deep sigh and frowned. If this is going to expose heaven and Hell, he hopes that it wouldn't show the real events of Eden and his... Fall. It was rather personal, and it pains him to remember that moment of betrayal.  

Lucifer took a deep sigh, rubbing his forehead as he glanced at his phone. He probably needs to set up a meeting with the others. He grimaces, clearly not wanting to do it but he needed to prepare for whatever is about to happen. What the future holds.   

He took his phone and sent a message to the group chat he muted years ago and set up a meeting in his palace. He knew that the other already read it and messaging right now, but Lucifer turned off his phone and leaned back against his couch. His eyes on the screen.   

Time for the seven deadly Sins to come together again after many years of silence.  

Chapter Text

Charlie looked sheepishly, rubbing her arms as she witnesses her appearance on live television. With millions and millions of people getting to see her make a fool of herself! She took a deep breath, calming her pounding heart as she grins shakily at her girlfriend.  

“I guess, this is really about me! Isn’t that fun?” she said, weakly. Angel gave her a deadpan look, raising his brow at her. “Whatever you say toots.” He replies before getting up from the couch and stretches his back before sitting back down. He groans at his bone cracking.  

“Fuckin hell, this is going to be a shitshow.” He groans, rubbing his forehead. “Like seriously, everyone is going to know that I am staying at this tacky hotel. “  

Vaggie rolled her eyes “Seriously? That’s all you care about? Your reputation?”  

Angel glares at her “Well Duh! I only agree to help with this.. Redeeming shit if you gave me free rent! Now people are going to know that I'm a fraud!” He huffs to himself; he turns on his phone and grimaces at the overwhelming text he was receiving.  

“Sonofabitch..” He mutters to himself.  

Charlie sighs, grimacing “I’m sorry, I just... didn’t think something like the...watcher would find my project to be. Entertaining...” She looked down at her lap, her phone in her pocket felt heavy, she received no replies from her father. She had some texts from her uncles and Aunt, but she wanted something from her dad. 

Heaven ,  Library 

Emily could feel tears swell in her eyes as she watched the screen turn black for a minute. Seemly able to tell that Emily needed a break from the realization that she had been lied to this entire time. That majority of Hell had been lied to.  

Emily can hear the cries from here, the rage in their voices as they are against this deicion that been made, years and years ago.  

Emily felt sick, she clutched her hand to her chest, feeling her multiple eyes opening at once and she could see clearly. The thought of those human souls, being killed again when they were already paying for their sins just by being in Hell and tormented for eternity. They didn’t deserve to be punished a second time nor do they deserve to live in fear for when the time of... Extermination happens again.  

“Sera... Please... Please tell me you didn’t approve of this.” Emily voice echoed the silent library, her voice broken and shaken. Sera winced, closing her eyes with grief as she bit back tears. She didn’t deserve to cry after what she did.  

“I’m sorry, Emily.”  

Somehow, Sera words broke Emily even more knowing that the person she admired for centuries knew about this and approves of it.   

Emily didn’t know who this person was anymore. This wasn’t her big sister that raised her. This wasn’t Sera that she loved with her entire being.... 

This was a monster in disguise. 

[“ Don't worry, Mom. I'll make you proud. “   

[ “Welcome to Hell” sign in the distance. Multiple buildings were seen burning, black smoke covering the red sky.  The woman looked sad at the state of the city. ]    

Earth , Detective Mason Office 

“Well I'll be damn...” Mason mutters, staring at the environment of Hell itself. It wasn’t what he originally thought it would be. All fire and screams of the agony echoing the air. No sigh of red demons imp holding a spike and stabbing the damn humans who were doomed to hell. Stereotypical hell really.  

The actual Hell looked... Normal compared to human cities. It had buildings similar to the human world, streetlights, hell even same street signs of Buildboard filled with ads.  The only difference really was the red sky with the pentagram. Minus the burning buildings and broken windows.  

[ “Charlie? “ Another woman's voice echoed in the silent room. Charlie, the woman who was narrating, was called; jolted quickly turned around with surprise in her eyes.  The key she let go poofed into a one eye cat and it zoomed past the camera. ]     

“ Was that a cyclops cat?” Someone murmurs in the crowd, there were various whispers echoing the crowd. Most were shocked at the appearance of Hell.  

“That fucking cat was a key? The fuck is that shit?”  

The crowd were still feeling fear at the aspect of Hell being real, and to see it in person (screen) was mindblowing.  

“Shapeshifting cyclopes cats...”  

“Might not be the weirdest thing I seen yet...”  

[ “Oh, shit. Did you hear all that?” She asked sheepishly, embarrassed that she didn’t notice the other woman was in the room with her the entire time. ]    

 “ You really need to work on your surroundings, babe.” Vaggie teased her, giving her an amused smile. Charlie chuckles before rubbing her neck in embarrassment.  

“Yeahhh.. “  

“ Uh... Yeah, I was right there.” The woman replied, smiling at Charlie. She had pure white hair, a red bow at the back of head, brown skin with pink coloured eyes.  She only had one eye; her other eye she had an eyepatch with a giant X over it. She was wearing a uniform that would be a secretary uniform. ]     

“ Hmmm...” Carmilla tilted her head at the appearance of the woman. She really looked familiar. She looks at the woman eye. It was. Rather familiar indeed.  

“Interesting.” She smirks, “It’s rare to see someone like you in a place like this.”  

Her daughters looked confused, both glancing at each other before at her and the screen.  

[ “Sorry. I get pretty worked up after an extermination happens.”  Charlie said, looking at the woman before turning her head to the window. The sound of gunshots and sirens can be heard in the distance.    

“This story helps.” She looked at the book in her lap, gently tracing the cover of the book with her fingers. Sorrow in her eyes. ]    

  Earth,  

“ So, like a normal day in NY?” Jason snorts, crossing his arms as he leans back. He yelps when his mother slaps his arm. “Hey! It was a joke!”  

His mother rolled her eyes. Jason can see Sarah biting back a grin.  

[“ I know. Don't worry. I enjoy your theatrics.” The other woman chuckles, she walked closer to Charlie. Charlie gives her a weak smile.    

“Are you okay?” The woman asked, looking at Charlie with concern in her eyes. She leans down to sit next to Charlie.    

“I'm fine, just... thinking ya know, family stuff.” Charlie replies, she puts the book down beside her and turns her body to the woman. She tries to reassure the woman despite looking not fine.      

“ Did you hear from your mom yet?”   The woman asked, looking at Charlie. Tilting her head with a worried look.  Charlie closed her eyes and shook her head, looking sad at the fact her mother never answered her calls. She doesn’t even know if she received them or not. ]    

 “ Yikes, mommy issues?” A sinner cackles, they crossed their arms and tilted their head at the screen. They were on the streets, there were still multiple bodies littering the ground and he could see other demons lurking in the background, making sure to grab bodies for whatever sick reasons.  

“I mean, the Queen of Hell just straight up vanished. You’d think that she would keep in touch with her daughter.” Another demon spoke up, they walked up to the screen. There were multiple screens on different streets. This demon looked similar to a fish, with scales littering their body and gills on their neck.  

“Meh, I never really like that bitch to begin with.” The first demon said, grinning and waving their hand.  

“The fuck you say!” A voice shouted from the corner of the street and a buff demon came around the corner. “Ah shit.”  

“Yeah fuck you bud, Lilith was a beauty in person and her voice was magical.” The fish demon spat out, glaring.  “You’re new around here aren’t you?”  

 “ Oof. How long has it been now?” The woman blew on her bangs.   

“Not that long, only... seven… years…” Charlie replies with a grimace, not looking at the woman's face.     

“Off doing something important, I'm sure.” Charlies tries to justify. The camera pans to the outside, the window was shaped into an eye. Charlie and the woman were seen standing up from the couch. .    

  Earth 

“Damn, imagine having an absent mother.” A boy smirks, leering at the boy behind him. The boy in question glares fiercely at the guy.  

“Shut the fuck up you fucking asshole.”  

“Aww is someone going to go cry to their mommy? Oh wait!”  

Most kids were filled with sympathy for the girl on the screen, most having their parents absent from their lives.  

“I hope her mommy comes back soon.” A little girl mumbles, holding her teddy to her chest as she watches the screen on their little phone screen. She wasn’t supposed to be watching this, her father having forbidden her.  Her own mommy was supposed to come pick her up, but she didn’t show up. Disappointment filled her chest. It was like every other weekend, and she needed to learn not to hope that her mommy would finally show up.  

“ But this kingdom was something she really cared about. Something I care about.”    

  Charlie walked closer to the window and the camera zoomed closer to them. Charlie wrapped her arms around herself as she smiled.     

“Well, at least you aren't alone.” the woman said, she reached up and took Charlie hand.   

“I just hope what I'm trying to do here will work.”.   Charlie leaned into her, and they both touched their foreheads as they sat back down onto the couch  

“It will. I have faith in you.” the woman reassures her, leaning back and reaching for her cheek. The cat suddenly jumped on Charlie's lap, making her smile.   

  Hell ,  

“They are really good friends.” Lucifer mumbles to himself, smiling softly as he ate a biscuit. He was on his phone, scheduling a meeting with the others.  He pretty much ignored their other questions not related to their situation on hand; something he knew he was going to regret on a later date, but he didn’t care at the moment.  

Besides, he has other calls to make. One that includes heaven. Arh, now he must deal with Sera when she found out about this.  

The imp who was serving him lunch gave him a look, but he was oblivious to it and continued eating.  The imp gently shook his head before smiling softly at the king, amused at his oblivious boss.  

“All right. Come on. Alastor says he has something to show us.” she said, getting up from the couch and beckoning Charlie to follow her. Charlie smiles before it faded, she took one last look outside, her gaze followed the distant sound of a bell. ]    

Hell, Happy Hotel 

“ Excuse me... Who?”  Vaggie spoke shocked, she felt a shiver run through her body as she bit her lip knowing that name seems familiar even though she never met a Alastor in her life. Who is named Alastor anyways?  

Hell, Vox Tech 

“Alastor.. Are you fucking say thee Alastor!” Vox grits his teeth, his screen glitching as he grips his couch, and he can hear the distant sound of fabric ripping apart.  

Velvette and Valentino both looked at each other with a grim look and sighed ‘Here he goes’ They both thought.  

The scene changed; static was heard as it zoomed to a demon stabbing another demon repeatedly. Blood thirty grin on his face.     

  Most humans on earth were looking with disgust at the gory scene of the demon stabbing another. It was expected that it would show gory shit but to actually see it without any censor is...  

There were weak people who could not stand the gory already puking out their food from the blood.  Their faces green with disgust and horror.  

“Tsk. Weak” A man scowls at the woman on the street passed out from the blood. ‘ Honestly, just don’t watch it if you cannot handle this shit. ’  

“ Well, hello there you wayward sinner. ” A man said, his voice filtered similar to an old radio. He appears to be holding a camera as he walks closer to the demon, making the demon stop stabbing and looking at the camera with a confused look.    

“ Do you like blood, violence and depravity of a sexual nature? ” The man asked. The demon who was getting stabbed casually lifted his body and peered towards the camera with an equally confused expression. Both the demons looked around, seeming lost motivation to keep stabbing. ]   

   Hell ,  

Said demons were looking a bit embarrassed, shuffling away from the crowds and into the alley to get away from the cackling's of others.  

   Hell, Vox Tech  

“That fucker is back!” Vox scowls, jolting from his seat and shakes the screen.  He ignored Velvette shriek telling him not to break it and stormed off to the next room.  

“It’s been over 7 years since he vanished, and he is suddenly back and doing... Whatever the fuck he is doing!” He growls, glaring at the picture of Alastor he had on his wall, it was X marked with a red pen. It was the only photo Vox managed to get without it blurring him out. 

“You would understand why he came back if you fucking watch the fucking screen, you fucking baby!” Velvette shouts, glaring fiercely at him. “Arhh, Men!” She grumbles to herself and looks down at her phone.  

“Men are so sensitive. “ 

Valentino snorts, crossing his legs and taking a smoke.  

“I find it hilarious how Voxie isn’t over his ‘break up’” 

“What the fuck did you just say?!” 

“Oh nothing~ “  

Velvette rolled her eyes, looking at the ceiling and swearing under her breath.  

‘ I should’ve just watched this in my own room.’  

[ “Of course you do. That's why you're in Hell!”    

Both the demons looked surprised when the man with the camera backed away, showing the wreckage. Buildings break apart and fire everywhere. ]   

Heaven,  Molly’s resident  

Molly bit back a gag as she witnesses the gruesome murder taking place in front of her as the demons in the background commit crime. She knew it was Hell but still, it reminded her of the days when she was alive, and she hated it. It brought up bad memories.  

She held her weeping mother in her arms and closed her eyes as she prayed that Anthony wasn’t one of those who perished.  

“Don’t worry mama, am sure Anthony is still alive and kicking. He is too stubborn to die from those bastards.” 

“But what would you say there was a place to stay that had none of that?”   There were other demons poking their head out, staring at the camera with a baffled expression. ]   

[ “ Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel, a misguided path to redemption!”   

It changed the scene with a static and the camera panned over the hotel and it unique design, ]   

Earth,  

Despite the gruesome scene, most people can’t help but admire some of the buildings that weren’t currently burning to the ground. Especially the hotel. The hotel was unique and beautiful in its own way. A ship seemling attach to the side of the building. Which was strange to most, but people were in awe at the design of the outside of the building.  

“Did they say.. Hotel? That’s a fucking hotel?” A man mutters, looking a bit shock. The bartender beside him looked impressed and nodded.  

“Yeah, I’m impressed by the design of it. I wouldn’t personally mind checking in there if it exists on earth.” The bartender said.  

“Hell, I might check in when I die.” A woman shouts, laughing to herself as she took her shot of drink. “I know for a fact am going to hell.” she adds, grinning to herself. “So might as well go out with a bang, eh?”  

[ “ Founded five days ago by Lucifer's delusional daughter, Charlotte Morningstar! ”    

 It showed Charlie having a conversation with someone, seeming not noticing that the man was filming her until he stepped closer to her face. She looked at the camera with shock in her eyes before she composed herself and waved awkwardly into the camera with a fake smile. Another demon appeared on her right, in view, holding out a peace sign. It wasn’t clear what kind of demon it was but he was grinning at the camera, a gold tooth gleaming. ]   

Earth  

“ Oh shit, I forgot that is the literal child of the devil.”  Was most of the people thought, the fact the woman from the beginning scene showed that she was the literal child of the First woman and the Serpent of Eden, aka the Devil. It just passes over their heads at the fact they were given actual events of the Garden of Eden; and a glimpse of Hell itself.  

They didn’t process the fact that beautiful lady was the child of the devil; Lucifer himself. But having to hear it again is as shocking when it came from a weird looking commercial ad.  

The ad was terrible but still. 

[ “ Come place your fate in her inexperienced hands as she tries to work through her daddy issues by fixing you!”    

It showed Charlie with another woman with blond short hair, completely red eyes and wearing a revealing top. She looked uninterested at what Charlie was saying, smoking a cigarette.    

Hell,  

“Argh, thankfully the interview was fucking canceled.” Katie mutters, glowering at the screen of herself looking bored at the princess of hell explaining something to her.  

“Hopefully this fucking show or whatever will finally stop the bitch from pestering us from now on. Fucking bitch was annoying.”  

Tom chuckles. “You know, since it’s broadcasting everywhere, you might want to pray that your future self doesn’t disrespect the princess.” 

Katie frowned at him, sneering “And why is that?”  

Tom tilted his head “Because no doubt that her father is watching this himself. ”  

Katie froze, fear suddenly filling her hollow chest.  

“Because I know for a fact that the king himself loves his daughter even though it doesn’t seem like it. The screen is probably lying about that.” Tom added, leaning forward on the desk. He was focusing on the screen of Charlie nervously explaining something to future Katie; who looked frankly uninterested.  

“I feel sorry for your future self.” Tom laughs, slapping his desk.  

It changed to photos of Charlie, tears in her eyes as her father was in the background, his back turned from her. It went through other photos]     

Hell, Lucifer Palace  

Lucifer faltered, he stared at the screen of his daughter looking close to tears as his back was turned from her; making him look like he doesn’t care for her. Was this what Charlie thought of him this entire time? 

Lucifer bit his lip; he looked down and his hand and fidgeted with the ring he left on his finger. He always kept his wedding ring on his finger then though he split with Lilith years ago. Unable to accept the fact that she divorced him and vanished. 

He completely shut Charlie out of his life afterwards.  

Guilt filled his chest as he watched his daughter try to move forward without his guidance when he should have been with her the entire time.  

He sighs, “Maybe I am too late to make up for my mistakes.. . But it’s never too late to try.” He mumbles, he took out his phone and pressed on his daughter number and stared at the Call button. 

He was afraid that she wouldn’t forgive him, that she realized that he wasn’t worth forgiving anymore.  

[ “H ere, we offer fun things! Such as somewhat functional staff! And 24 hour Pest Control!”    

 The man burst opened the hotel front door and it showed the main area. It pans to the left and it showed a bar, it zoomed to the bartender. A demon that looked similar to a cat but with wings. He was obviously drunk and it showed as he slammed his head to the counter.    

A small woman step on the counter, holding a needle while she chases down bugs, missing every attack. ]    

Hell ,  

Husk groans, slamming his head against the table. The bartender who was serving him gave him a pity look before giving him a bottle for him before leaving him to swallow in self-pity.  

“Fuck fuck FUCK! He came back. He actually came back from who know where.” Husk grumbles, opening the bottle and taking a gulp.  

“Now he is dragging me into the princess business. Fuck my life.”  

The other patrons of the bar all gave him space, no one came into his space as they stare at him and the screen. Husk gave them the middle finger before gulping down another shot.  

He might have well enjoyed his life for far before he gets dragged into working for the bastard. He knows doubt is going to get drag in the princess affair early, he wants to enjoy his freedom while it lasts. 

Else where,  

Nifty was giggling, happily skipping to the location of the hotel and humming happy tones as she grinned when other demons scurried out of her way.  

“Ohh! I get to finally clean and fight bugs! And he’s back!” Nifty giggles, holding her hands to her cheeks and she kept grinning.  

“Was the hotel over here? Where am I?” She mumbles to herself, tilting her head and humming.  

“Oh! I think am lost.” She spoke to herself, smiling.  

“I’m sure Alastor can summon me!” Nifty giggles and continued skipping along the streets.  

[ “Custom rooms, and just look at this tacky parlor! Enjoy riveting conversation with our singular resident. “   

The man took the camera and panned it to the demon we saw earlier. The demon had 4 arms, each set wearing a different colour of gloves, it was wearing a suit with a black bow tie and seemed to be wearing a mini skirt and long thigh boots. It looked similar to a spider.    

The spider demon looked disinterested at the cameraman and made a middle finger but it was censored with the caption ‘WOW’ ]    

 “ That little whore!” Valentino shrieks, throwing a glass against the wall. Velvette groans as she heard Vox shouting back to Valentino.  

“Watch the tv !”  

“Angel thinks he can go fuck with Lucifer little brat so he can.. So, she can protect him!! Is that it!! Ohh ohh You are so hard you fucking bitch!” Valentino grits out, rage filling his chest.  

Vox rolled his eyes and crossed his arms “It’s not like she can do anything! You have Angel under contract, he isn’t going anywhere.”   

“And don’t you dare think about going over there.” Vox warned him, narrowing his eyes at the moth demon. Valentino pouts before crossing his arms “I wasn’t planning on it.”  

Velvette snorts “Yeah right.”  

[ “ All this and more at the Hazbin Hotel! Your last desperate attempt at salvation starts here.”    

The next scene showed a rough drawing of the hotel with notes around it. It pans over the real hotel one last time with the caption on screen “ Call now! Or don’t! I don’t care! We still don’t have a working phone!” ]    

Alastor tilted his head at the commercial he apparently made. It was surprising to him that he would make an effort to make something for the picture box he normally stays away from. 

“ Hmmm. Interesting indeed.” He was interested in the princess now. Surprised that she might’ve done something to impress him to help her with something she was doing.  

“Redemption? Ha, that is a hilarious thought. “ 

[ The television shuts off,  it was a lame commercial for the hotel. The screen showed the reflection of the woman from before and Charlie. They both looked baffled.    

“ So, what'd ya' think?” We finally saw the man, he was dressed in all red. Short red hair, and ears that look like his hair, mini deer horns on his head. His reds were entirely different shades of red, and with a monocle on his right eye, he had a sharp smile that seemed to stretch from ear to ear. He was wearing a red coat with black pants, complete with a back bow. He was holding a weird looking staff. ]    

Hell , 

The majority of the demons who were familiar with the Radio demon all looked Panick, dread filling their souls as they witnessed the return of Alastor the Radio demon once more. The familiar voice over the commercial set them on edge.  

Now? The fact the radio demon is actually back?  

Carmilla put her hands behind her back and paced back and forth in her office. “So, he finally came back, uh?” She said, looking at the screen and appearance of the overlord she didn't think was going to return. She didn’t really care why he left nor that he returns.  

She had her own problems to care about and the radio demon wasn’t one of them. Though she groans at the thought of the Vee’s since she knew Vox was against Alastor since the beginning and she knew he was going to stir up some trouble.  

[ I'm sorry, what the fuck was that?” The woman scoffs, glaring at the man.    

“ Uh, yeah, one note… ” Charlie spoke, she held up one hand  “A lastor, I mean…” Alastor grin sharpens, showing amusement.   

“First off, thank you so much for making this seriously amazing, ” She gushed over the fact that Alastor made the attempt to make a commercial for her, even if it was terrible. She at least gave him credit for it.   

“but um... maybe the tone is a bit...off?” she continued, looking a bit awkward as she played with her hands, staring at Alastor with a sheepish expression. Alastor squinted, tilting his head]    

 “ Fuck, I didn’t think the fucking radio demon was going to show up here? Why the fuck is he here?” Vaggie said, looking panicked. She was pacing back and forth since she heard the voice and saw his actual appearance on screen. It was a shock for them. 

 Charlie looked Godsmack at the fact a powerful overlord was in her hotel and seemed like he was helping her with her project for whatever reason. She knew that the radio demon wasn’t just helping her out of kindness, he had a motive.  

She knew she had an advantage of viewing the future, but she was afraid for her other self on screen who doesn’t know the demon motive. She hopes that Charlie doesn’t do anything stupid and makes a deal with the overlord.  

[“ We want people to want to come here, this makes it look… ummm… ” Charlie's sentences faded, unsure how to continue without making it sound like she didn't like it.  “Bad. The word you're looking for is bad.” The woman beside her finished, crossing her arms and glaring at the demon.    

“Funny. I was going for hilarious!” Alastor replies, tilting his head. The woman groans, she leans forward.    

Vaggie cursed under her breath at the audacity of this bitch and gave him the middle finger.  

“I t didn't explain anything about how we're trying to save demons from extermination, which is the whole fucking point.” She said frustrated.    

[ “ Vaggie is right, Alastor. The commercial was to let Sinners know we are trying to help them.” Charlie said. Alastor shrugs.    

Hell 

“Redemption?” Most of the demons who heard this woman ‘Vaggie’ explain their goal of this hotel made them cackle like they heard the funniest joke ever.  

Redemption? In Hell? For them?? Ha 

“This girl is mental!” 

“Redemption for sinners like us? Ha!” 

“This girl is crazy” 

In all, everyone was doubting this project of the princess of hell, they saw it as a joke really. 

“Well, my dear, I haven't been active in Hell for some time, and everyone remembers me from my radio show!” He replies, running his hands on his staff.     

  “The proper medium to express oneself! But you insisted on this: noisy picture box advertisement, So I had a little fun with it. ”  He glares at the television, using his staff to hit the tv.]    

  Earth ,  

Jason was baffled at the many appearances of demons they saw in little time. Demons that were once human but turned into something unrecognizable the moment they fell into Hell.  

They know that this demon who made that awful commercial was once human but looked really dangerous and sent shivers down his spine. It was unsettling. 

“Nosy picture box?” Sarah asked, confused at the clear distaste in the demon voice when hitting the box television. “Why is the tv so big?” She asked. 

Jason can feel something die in his mother the moment that question left Sarah mouth. He can feel the corner of his mouth twitch.  

[ “Oh, fun. You had a little fun with it? Well, this is not what we want to represent us. When you showed up here a week ago, you told us you would help run this hotel! Instead, you're mocking us. Nobody's going to want to come to a place that a powerful Overlord like you thinks is a waste of time!” Vaggie replies, crossing her arms while still glaring at Alastor, clearly stating her dislike towards the man.    

She turned her head when a hand was lifted.    

“What?”    

It pans over to the spider demon, he was lying on the couch with his hand in the air.    

 “ If'n ya filmin' a commercial, can I suggest you take better advantage of the talented celebrity you have right here?”   The demon said, while getting up from the couch, using one of his arms to grab a bottle of alcohol, he finishes his sentences by pointing to himself with the rest of his arms.  ]    

Heaven, Molly Residents 

Molly was in the kitchen pouring them a fresh cup of tea to calm their nerves when a familiar voice echoed the room.  

She quickly turned around and looked with shock at the demon who looked just like her spoke with a familiar voice.  

‘Could it be ?’ She thought to herself as she absently took the teapot from the stove and slowly sat back down on the couch, she could feel her mother grasp her hand as her mother began sobbing again; mumbling “Her baby” over and over again.  

 “ Angel, you're a porn star.” Vaggine said with a deadpan look. “ A famous porn star.” Angel corrected her, grinning.    

 “ Well, he has confidence in his work.”  

“ I'll have the horniest sinners knockin' these walls down to get in. ” He adds, grinning.    

  “ We are not filming a porn as a commercial. ” Vaggie said, frustrated.     

  Earth,  

The men in the bar and tilt their head at the thought of using porn as a commercial and giggles at the thought of it. It would catch their attention of course.  

The women all sneered at the thought of it and instantly turned that idea away because of course men would enjoy the sight of naked women as ads. Perverted bastards.  

“Why not? Sex sells, don't it ?” Angel replies, he lifted his hand and rubbed his fingers together, winking.  “ I swear if you film me goin' at it with mister fancy talk-creepy voice here, you'd be rollin' in participants willin' to stay at this tacky hotel.”     

  Earth,  

“I’ll admit, it does indeed sell.” a sex worker mumbles to herself as she curled in her bed, wrapping her blanket around her like a cocoon. “I mean, I'm able to buy whatever i want with just 1 film.”  

“Because men are desperate to see a woman naked. Easy money for me.” She smiles, “Stupid men.”  

Alastor popped up behind Angel with his shadow, smiling while he had his hands behind his back. He laughs, shaking his head, stating that it will never happen in a million years.    

  Alastor grimace, his grin faded a bit before he forced it back up. Yeah right that’s going to happen. He doesn’t want that demon to lay a single hand on him and if he tries? Well let's say the demons' arms will no longer be connected to his body.  

He faded into the shadows and continued to his next designation.  

Angel just smugly grins, raising his eyebrows at Alastor, unfazed by the rejection.    

  “Angel, I appreciate you wanting to use your special skills to, um, attract folks to the hotel, but... I really don't want to exploit you, in that way! ” Charlie awkwardly turned his idea down, looking uncomfortable.  ]    

  Earth,  

“The princess of Hell seems rather... Nice for a daugher of the literal devil.” The woman who was watching from her phone. Her best friend nods, watching over her shoulders.  

“Yeah no kiddin, she is even pretty. I thought she would look more.. Goat-like features.” Her friends said.  

The woman gave her a shrug “Yeah, I guess the devil isn’t a red goat as we thought.”  

“Wonder how the Devil looks like then. “  

“ Oh, please, baby. This body was made to be exploited. I got the arms, I got the stamina, I got the legs. I got the lung capacity… Oh-oh I got the legs, ” Angel waved her concerns off, he ran his hands over his body as he explained his special skills.  He lifted his legs in the air before getting back up and uses his fingers to count down his other  skills. ]    

Earth, 

“That is bloody disgusting! That demon should be ashamed of doing that kind of work! No wonder he is in hell.” Karen spoke with disdain in her voice, sneering at the screen of the spider like a demon.  

“ Hon, I bet ya, your husband would be one of those viewers, shallowing in envy. If you found those skills disgusting, then I feel pity for your husband.” Mackanzie spats back, sneering at Karen who gasps at her. 

“Ohhh.” the crowd around them cackles and gives her the thumbs up while Karen turns red and storms off, her poor husband following behind her with a shamed look.  

“Good luck my man.” The passbyer spoke, grinning at his red face.  

Mackenzie snorts, before corssing her arms and looked at he screen of the spider demon who was called Angel.  

Charlie laughs uncomfortably. Vaggie was looking at Angel with disgust. She turned when she heard her phone ring.  Ignoring that Angel is still talking about his body and the fact everyone thinks his chest fluff is tits.   

  She quickly took her phone, and stood up with a hurried step, she told them that she will be back in a second. She didn’t bother to respond to Angels saying he has all night, calling her baby. Her phone continued to ring and she took a deep breath before answering the call.   

Heaven, Molly Resident 

Molly gave a Shakey chuckle, tears filling her eyes as she gently wiped them way. Anthony was still the same boy she grew up with. It pained her to know that he was still in his habit even in hell.  

“he’s still alive, mama” Molly whispered, giving her a teary smile. Her mother returned it and nodded.  

“He is, am glad he hadn’t perished.” Her mother replies, she took in the appearance of her baby boy. She wished she was still in their life when they were alive alive. If only she didn’t die early in their childhood and maybe, then.. She would have both her babies by her side.  

“He looks like me, mama. He is a spider as well!” Molly giggles, “Even if we are apart, we are twins forever.”  

 “ Hey, I have a question. If freaky face over there is so powerful,then why can't he just make people stay here? ” Angel asked Vaggie, frowning, he pointed to Alastor.    

Alastor chuckles, ominously stating he can in fact force people to stay here, his horns grew as he made a fist, grinning massively.      

  Hell,  

Demons who were familiar with Alastor all shivered and looked at his sinister grin with terror in their eyes. They were very familiar with seeing that look in the radio demons' eyes.  

“ Why do you think I'm here ?” A deep voice spoke, making them turn towards the bar.     

“ You actually think I'd be cleaning bottles and listening to you fuck's bitch and moan all the time if he wasn't forcin' me?” He adds,  glaring at them “ I like being forced .” The tiny woman popped out from behind the counter, she lifted her hands  in the air, grinning.     

“ Keep that to yourself, Niff.” The bartender grimaced, wiping the bottle he was holding, leaning away from her.   

Husk groans when he notices the small lady on screen, it’s been a long time since he last saw her, and he would pretty much want to keep it that way. At least he knows that Nifty is also being forced to do Alastor bidding. Even if she seems to like it.  

“What, you don't love being here with me, Whiskers? ” Angel flirted, leaning against the couch, smirking.    

“ Call me "Whiskers" again and I'll jam that bottle down your throat. ” The cat demon scowls, slammed his hand on the counter.    

“Kinky. C'mon keep talkin' dirty. “ ]     

Said demon glower at the comments, taking a shot.  

“Angel!” Vaggine exclaimed, pulling her hair as she groans at the future Angel. 

 “Hey! He looks hot what can i say!” Angel defended himself.  

“How can i not tap that?!”  

Charlie giggles, shaking her head at the two. Honestly, it was amusing to see her girlfriend banter with the spider demon.  

Vaggie sighs, putting her hands on her hips “Angel, let Husk do his job. And no, we can't force sinners to stay here. They need to choose to. ” she explained.   

Angel rolled his eyes, he pointed to himself “ I'm choosing to be here, and I think it's all stupid. “He gave her a deadpan look    

“W e're in Hell, Toots. That's kind of the end of the road, ain't it? “ He adds, unconvinced by this whole thing.  

“ You don’t know that! We just have to try!” Charlie said defensive. She points to the screen  

“I mean, come on, this Watcher thing is showing my future! Maybe it does work and it’s showing everyone that its possible for a demon to be redeemed!” She said, looking at Angel with determination.  

Angel sighs, “Alright, alright, I get your point, but it might not show it being successful! It might just show how you might be wrong terribly.”  

Vaggie glares at him  

“What! Its possible!”  

“ Well, maybe it doesn't have to be. Just because nobody has made it out before doesn't mean it's not possible. ” Vaggie said, she looked at Angel with disappointment.    

“Hey, whatever means I can keep crashin' here rent free.” Angel shrugs  “ crack is expensive. “ He adds.   

Vaggie rolled her eyes 

 The scene went to Charlie's phone call with her dad.    

“ Yeah, I can totally. Yeah, I'll head over there right away… Okay! ” Charlie said, smiling with excitement and eyes sparkling. She ended the call, her heart racing with anticipation. She clutched her phone, still feeling shock at what just happened. This was it! She threw her hands in the air, celebrating.     

She quickly went back to the parlor, shouting for Vaggie and beckoning her to come over. Vaggie jumped in surprise at the sudden shout. She sighed, fondly before following Charlie in the hallway.  

 “ She is way to cheerful to be in Hell, seriously.”  

“Poor girl, being the princess of the hell when you seem too sweet to be in hell.”  

 She asked what was going on and Charlie explained that her dad just called and he said the leader of the Angel army wants to see meet and asked her if she can go instead.   

Hell,  

Lucifer winced at the fact that he decided to dump that meeting to Charlie when he knew how Adam was. It was a dick move for him to ask Charlie to do it. Not to mention the fact Adam doesn’t care about the Sinners, in fact; he takes pleasure in killing the demons.  

He doesn’t want Charlie to ever meet the man and yet, his future self is dumping the meeting to her. Argh.  

Vaggie looked unsettled, stating that the extermination just recently happened, what could they possible want this early-    

Charlie ignored her, too busy thinking of a way to convince heaven about her plan.    

Vaggie gently shook her head at the screen, a hint of a smile on her face as Charlie wince at the way her future self ignored Vaggie concerns.  

“yeah, am sorry for ignoring you like that, Vaggie.” Charlie apologized.  Vaggie just shook her head, smiling.  

“It’s alright, I know how you are when you are excited.” Vaggie reassures her. Charlie smiles, her cheeks red. Angel groans before waving his hands in the air. 

“Uh! Hello! Sorry for bursting your bubble but we have a concerning matter over here!” Angel shouts, pointing with all his hands to the screen.  

“Did ya forget about it or sumthin?” Angel said, furrowing his brow.  

Vaggie shook her head “No, sorry.” She sighed deeply, pinching her nose as she stood up from the couch and put a hand on her hips. “It’s unlike them to request a meeting just after the extermination happened. Something might’ve happened in the background that made them request it.”  

Charlie looked worried, fidgeting with her tie as she stared at her future self-looking excited at the fact, she got a meeting with heaven and didn’t question why it was so sudden. Or why her father asked her to go instead.  

She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, and a familiar ring tone echoed the silent room. She apologizes to Vaggie and Angel as she brought out the phone from her pocket and bit her lip at the contact. It was her father calling.  

While normally he calls whenever he needed something from her, she knew he was calling for her about this whole thing. Did he finally realize what was happening or something? She knew that her dad doesn’t really do well with technology and all. 

“I’m just going to take this. I won’t be long, please tell me if anything important happened, okay?” Charlie told them before running off and out of earshot despite Vaggie and Angel protest.  

She took a deep breath before answering the call.  

Vaggie and Angel watched Charlie leave the room in a hurry. Vaggie sighs, looking back at the screen, it wasn’t really showing anything important at the moment, just Charlie looking excited and talking about her opportunity to speak with heaven while her other self is trying to calm her down.   

“Who the hell is calling for her to leave in a hurry?” Angel asked, skeptical. He never really seen her run off like that... Actually.. That might be a lie.   

Vaggie hums “It’s her dad. I recognize that ringtone.”  

♪ I can do this.   

Somehow, I know it ♪   

 ♪ I'll get Heaven   

behind my plan ♪   

Vaggie reached out, calling out to her but Charlie accidentally got out of her reach.  

  Earth,   

“Oh shit, a musical?”   

Jason snorts, covering his face with his hands. “Gosh, hell is a musical.” He laughs to himself. Sarah pouts, crossing her arms   

“I hate musicals.” She mumbles.  

“I like them” His mother spoke, tilting her head “She had a nice voice”   

His father looked grim and sighs. “It’s whatever..”   

While both in Heaven and Hell, people singing wasn’t really surprising, you can hear people singing on the streets almost every day and it was the norm for them at this point and they grew to enjoy it.   

They realize that earth, people just don’t sing on the streets. They find it amusing for them to realize that humans will realize that Heaven and Hell love musicals. Just ask any demon or angel.   

“Those poor mortals will not know that musical is a norm down here.” A demon cackles.   

[  ♪ There's just no way I could blow it ♪   

- ♪ Not this once in a lifetime chance ♪   

She pranced around the parlor, the others watched her, amused.  Vaggie took another step towards her, saying it was just a meeting.   

[ ♪ To change their minds   

And touch their hearts ♪   

♪ Or whatever angels have ♪   

Vaggie watched her skip around, mumbling under her breath. Charlie turned to her, smiling at her   

♪ Cheer up, Vaggie ♪   

This could be swell ♪    

She took Vaggie hand into her own, giving her a comforting smile ]    

[ ♪ Something tells me that today   

Will be a happy day ♪   

Charlie sang, pulling Vaggie and they both spinned around, Vaggie gave her a weak smile.    

♪ In Hell ♪   

Charlie let go of her hand, Vaggie stumbling before she regained her balance, she pinched her nose before asking Charlie not to sing to them..  Angel already told her that she is halfway down the street already, taking a sip of his beverage. Alastor, Niff, and the cat were watching Charlie skip down the street from the doorway.    

 “ I see...” Alastor hums, ‘ That’s how you impressed me.’ He thought, stopping behind a crowd of demons watching the screen. They didn’t know he was standing behind him, oblivious to the overlord lurking.   

‘I did always enjoy a good show’    

‘I wish we got to see how I came to meet you, even though it won’t be affective anymore, I am still will be meeting you, Princess.’  Alastor thought, nodding to himself before fading into the shadows once more. He needed to find a way to meet with the princess. He can of course just walk through the front door, but he had a feeling that the princess wouldn’t be alone anymore.  

She will have a personal bodyguard since Hell knew he had returned. He wished that the Watchers would’ve waited until he was acquaintances with the princess before starting this whole thing, he would’ve managed to gain the upper hand. He would have had the advantage of playing with the princess before exposing his motives.   

‘ Though, I might have to come up with a new plan now.’   

Vaggie slumped, defeated. “Is she?”    

Angel gives her a smirk and nods “She’s dancing alright. “     

Vaggie groans, hiding her face with her hands. ]    

Hell  

Vaggie slapped her face exasperated while she loved Charlie, she needed Charlie to focus the problem on hand and she sometimes goes overboard and forgets the main problem. But Vaggie was here to help her focus.   

[ It skipped the scene to Charlie walking down the street, shops windows were shattered, some building were on fire but this didn’t seem to bother Charlie as she continued singing with a bright smile.    

♪ There's a warm fuzzy feeling ♪   

♪ That wafts through the air ♪   

A street lap barely missed her, she continued oblivious. ]    

[ ♪ Every street so revealing   

It's hard not to stare ♪   

She peered into an open window where two demons were doing it, shocked.  ]    

Earth,   

“ Okay, I did not need to see that.” The teenager said, looking away from the scene, grossed out.  “Ha, they are having sex with the window open in a bust street.” The other boy said, laughing.   

The girl beside him rolled his eyes “of course you find that funny.”   

“It’s disturbing how people are into that kind of stuff.” The first girl said,, she didn't look at the screen yet. Deciding to skip this whole scene in case there were ore scenes like that one.  

“Well, they are adults, maybe adults are into that kind of stuff.” The boy said, grinning as he watched the screen of the princess of hell peeking through the window.  

“I didn’t think the princess would peek through the window though, maybe she is a closet perv” The girl said next to him, giggling.  

Hell,   

The two demons who knew it was them just grinned at each other and winked. The population of hell wouldn’t know it was them since they covered their faces but it was amusing to see the reaction around them.   

Most were whistling while others were yelling for them to get a room, ironic since they are indeed in a room, just with the window open. It’s not their fault the princess peeked in.   

“Since we know the princess is a peeking tom.” They cackled.  

[ ♪ It's a realm so appealing   

It beats anywhere ♪   

♪ If you don't mind   

The smell ♪   

She stumbles away from the rotting corpse with disgust. She spins around.    

♪ It's a happy day in Hell ♪  

Earth,   

Most were horrified at the state of Hell, bodies of demons were just scattered around town. Painting the while street red. The buildings the princess passed by were mostly destroyed, with windows shattered, buildings on fire, streetlamps collapsing. It was just pure chaos.   

Most were unnerved at how the princess seemed to not care about the carnage around her, seeming to ignore the burning chaos around her.    

They seem to forget that the princess of hell, she has seen this happen for many years, unable to do anything about it.  It was out of her control.   

 She continued walking, she stopped for a brief second, waving to a demon who was sitting on a bench, it looked like a lizard.  Saying hello but the demon told her to fuck herself. Charlie quickly passed him. ]   

  The demon quickly ducked his head and scurried away, cursing under his breath as he tried to hide from the crowd and the future that was surely waiting for him before being rude to the princess.  

“That dude is an idiot for disrespecting the princess right in front of her.” Other murmurs  

“It’s not like we aren’t going to get in trouble! Remember the king of Hell hadn’t been active in recent years?” One spoke. “Besides, the princess is a joke!”  

“Yeah, but surely the King himself is watching this as well? He probably wouldn’t tolerate us for how we are treating the Princess” The other replied, looking annoyed and crossing his arms at the others. While he hadn’t really interacted with the princess, he knew that things are going to be changed massive rather sooner than later.  

The King of Hell is going to be coming back, thanks to this Watcher being.  

The other demons around him seem to pale at the thought. The demon rolled his eyes.  

“Seriously?”  

[ ♪ There's an endless trash fire ♪   

♪ That's burning my soul ♪   

Charlie looked up when a window opened, a demon sang as fire consumed him. She was backing up and bumped into another set of demons.    

♪ Got a ton of barbed   

wire To shove in his hole ♪   

She bit her lip as she turned around and backed away from these two.    

♪ Uh, excuse me ♪♪    

She sang, smiling awkwardly  and she bumped into another demon, only this one was tall, wearing no top and wearing a black cloth over his head and had piercings on his nipples, he was holding an axe over his shoulders.  He looked like an executioner.    

Charlie grimaces at the amount of.. inappropriate amount of things happening right in the streets. She shouldn’t be surprised honestly but she hoped that she didn’t have to encounter it while she was heading to the heavenly building where Meetings are held with heaven.  

Though she left happy that other demons were joining in on her song. That’s a plus!  

♪ Doing what is required ♪   

♪ We all have our role ♪   

Charlie blinked, surprise at the tall demon.   

[ ♪ I'm not doing well ♪   

A demon sang, a knife in his eye as he collapsed on the ground, dead. Charlie turned to him with surprise all over her face.  

[ ♪ Another shitty day in Hell ♪   

Charlie stood there baffled as demons around her sang in unison. She shook off her surprise, she was happy that other demons were partaking in her song. ]    

Hell,  

“Yeah why do we just randomly join in?” one of the demons asked, looking confused at the screen. The other demons just shrugged, not really looking bothered.  

“I don’t know honestly mate. We just have the... uhhh. Urge? to join in on the song.” The demon replies, looking conflicted while looking at the singing demons on the screen.  

“It just comes out honestly. Like, when i was alive; I despises musicals but the moment I feel down here, I am singing with others.” She adds, frowning.  

“It’s the same for me! Weird...”  

[ ♪ If I can show

She stood on top of a vehicle, one hand on her chest while the other in the air. She looked determined. ]

Vaggie sang, on top of the roof with the ship attached to the hotel, she grabbed hold of the rope and leaned forward.  ]    

Vaggie bit her lips, she kept her gaze on the screen, watching her future self-gazing up at the heavenly planet.  

Then she felt a horrible realization.  

This was going to expose the future..  

Vaggie looked at where Charlie disappeared and felt nothing but dread in her gut as she imagines the pain in her eyes when she realizes her secret.   

[ ♪ Then they will know Everyone can

Vaggie sang, trying to explain that Angels are just as bad. ]    

Earth,  

“Bloodthirsty and deranged..” A woman mumbles, she looked distraught; her hair was messy and tangles, eyes blood shit and huge bags under her eyes from lack of sleep.  

“Beat that dad..mom.. Angels are just as bad as demons.” She chuckles, closing her eyes

A piece of guts flew to her eyes as she stumbled away from a pair of cannibals devouring a corpse. She covered her eye, wincing. ]    

Rosie giggles at the disgusted look Charlie gave to her cannibals. She was used to it and she made her giddy to know the mortals of earth will know her people. She hums at the thought of Alastor helping the princess.  

Alastor didn’t even bother visiting her for a cup of tea! Oh when she gets her hand on that man!  

Meanwhile, Alastor felt a shiver go down his spine.

Earth ,  

“I admit, she does have a good cause... Surprising.” A man said. The crowd around him all murmur among each other.  

“She wants to save those demons from being killed again?” A woman looked dumbfounded, clutching her phone to her chest. “But didn’t do demons deserved to be in hell?”  

“Yeah but surely not all demons deserve it.. Some might have only done a minor sin.”  

“Well, she better not try to redeem demons that are rapist..”  

“that’s true... “  

Heaven,  

“Ah shit.” Adam looked at the screen with a grim exression, he ignored the other angels around him giving him looks at they mind their own fucking Business!  

Adam gave them a look, giving them a middle finger before conituning on flying to the area Sera was located in. Why does this building libraby have to be so far away?! Bitch ass design if you ask him.  

“Sir, they are about to expose us..”  

“ Greetings, mortals, demons and angels. It is us again.  

While we normally let you finish this, we thought we might give you some of a break from this mind-blowing information forced upon your shoulders. So take adavante of this chance to relieve yourself.  

Remember, we are always watching. “  

“ Well, we might as well use this time to find a plan with Sera.” Adam said, crossing his arms.

“Come on. “  

Chapter Text

As Charlie quickly got of earshot from the two bickering demons, she can faintly hear herself singing in the street of hell from the television. She winces, knowing that everyone in the entire planet Earth, Heaven and the citizens of Hell are listening to her sing about achieving her dream of redeeming demons and hoping Heaven would listen to her.

She thought of the plans she drew up about her project, the mountain of drawings explaining and ponders if she should revise it. Now that she was thinking about it, she feels like her drawing her plans out wouldn’t be well planned out and might come out as unprofessional since she plans on asking her father to set up a meeting with heaven.

She groans, hitting her head with his fist. That means she would have to write a detailed paper for it, but she didn’t know how to really explain since this entire plan of redeeming was just a hypothesis. Drawing it out seems better at explaining it though…

‘I would have to ask dad more about it later.’ She thought, she took a deep breath and answered her phone.

“Hey, dad…” Charlie nervously laughs, leaning against the wall.

“Hello, Char char… How are you doing?” Her dad replies, he sounded concerned.

“Oh! I’m doing fine, physically anyways…” She mutters.

“Oh sweetie…”

Charlie sighs, suddenly feeling very exhausted. “I feel like this whole thing is just to make a fool of myself… A fool acting like a princess.”

“Charlie! Don’t you dare say that to yourself! You’re not a fool, my little duckie.” Lucifer said, he took a deep sigh. “Look, sweetie. If anything, I’m the bigger fool.”

“Dad! - “

“No, sweetie. Let me finish…” Lucifer butts in, he watches the future Charlie skipping around town, singing her heart out despite him knowing what was going to happen once she reaches the Embassy building. Her plans are going to be cruelly crushed by the man waiting behind a certain door.

“I know that I haven’t been a good father for you. I haven’t been there for you when you needed me most.”

“Dad, it’s fine I know you were dealing with something…” Charlie tries to reassure him. Lucifer felt a ping in his heart, he truly loved his daughter. She was a kind heart child, someone who doesn’t belong in hell.

“That doesn’t excuse the fact I abandoned you. I should have kicked myself out of my room and just been there for you. I shouldn’t have shut you out.” Lucifer spoke, his voice deepened with sorrow.

“I just assume you didn’t want to see me after the divorce.” Charlie admits, she closes her eyes, she can feel tears swelling up. She wipes it away.

“Charlie! No! I uhh…-“

“Look, this isn’t really the time to pour our heart out through the phone, dad.” Charlie interrupted him. She peeked at the screen and saw herself at the steps of the embassy building.  “We are kind of running out of time to talk.”

She heard her dad took a deep sigh “Alright, I’ll be visiting the hotel shortly.”

Charlie perked up; she blinked away any tears that threaten to fall. “Really?! Can I ask why?”

Lucifer gave a dull chuckle “So I can ward it off from sinners.” he replies.

Charlie gave a confused hum, furrowing her brow. Why would her dad want to ward off her hotel? She asked the question.

“Because, sweetie, as much I love you. Sinners that come your hotel aren’t going to have the intention to change. In fact, that just might take advantage of your generosity. Their motivation isn’t going to all rainbows and sunshine.” Lucifer said, frowning. It was true, if anything, the sinners are just going to destroy the hotel for the heck of it.

“Besides, don’t you want to focus on watching the future? Sinners coming through the door are just going to distract you from it.” He adds.

Charlie bit her lip, she was conflicted on what to do, while she does want people to come to her hotel and change but what her dad told her was true. She would be too busy to know what’s to come. To prepare for the future.

“What should I do then?” She sighs, defeated.

“Just keep the hotel closed until further notice. I’ll come by and ward it off, so no one forces their way in.”

“What If the new workers want to come by the hotel?” She asked, remembering the new employees she saw in that short time. A grumpy cat demon, Alastor, that little creepy little lady.

“Well, if they happen to come by, you can invite them in. If you wish… Though I would like you to wait for me before you invite them in, but I doubt you listen.” He chuckles. Charlie gave a sheepish laugh.

“I mean, I know having The Radio Demon roaming my hotel isn’t really ideal but… He made the hotel seem more… Better.” Charlie spoke, biting her lip as she turned to look at the screen. She saw herself walk up the steps of the embassy building. Time was really running out.

“I can make the hotel even better than his decoration! I can renovate the entire building if you wish!” Lucifer quickly suggested, glaring at the thought of decorations this so-called Radio Demon did around his daughter hotel. The bastard probably did it without her permission anyways.

Charlie giggles “Are you jealous, dad?”

The sound of his choking made her giggle again. “What! No am not! I’m just saying I can make the hotel ten times better!”

“Of course you can, dad. I’ll talk to you later, when you come by.” Charlie says, amused and a bit happy. The fact that her hotel was in fact changed a lot since Alastor appeared, working at her hotel. She was glad he fixed it up and it looked a lot better than now.

“Okay, I’ll be seeing you soon, duckie.”

With that, he hung up the phone. Charlie stared at the picture of the duck her dad uses as a profile picture. Warmness fills her chest as she couldn’t stop the grinning smile spread across her face as she skipped back to others.

Vaggie looks at her with amusement and adoration as she softly smiles at her. She puts a hand on her knee. “Everything alright?” Vaggie asked. Angel glances at Charlie with curiosity.

Charlie squeals and hugs Vaggie and squeezes her. Vaggie wheeze, patting her arm. “Watch the strength, hon.” She wheezes out. Charlie released her, looking a bit sheepish.

“hehe, sorry… I’m just excited! Dad is coming over to the hotel soon!” Charlie explains. Vaggie looked surprises, tilting her head and furrowing her brow. “Really? Why?”

Angel rolled his eyes before gesturing to the screen. Future Charlie was backing away from that creepy slug guy. Angel remembers seeing that demon roaming the streets whenever he goes out and parties. The sound of people falling over the slime was always hilarious.

“What do you think, jackass? The big boss himself wants to help with the hotel from damn sinners that might flock in.” Angel mutters, crossing his arms and scrolls through his phone and checking the sub channels. “Honestly, I am really surprised that no one has barged in already.” He adds.

Vaggie glares at him before turning back to Charlie. “I guess that makes sense. We should honestly lock the doors just in case.”

Charlie shrugs and with a snap of her fingers she made the door lock. Angel looked at her with a deadpan look. “What?” Charlie asked, flickering her eyes between him and the screen.

“Since when could you do that?”

“Seriously?” Vaggie asked.

Charlie opened the door; she looked at the empty room with hesitation and called out. Her voice echoed the empty room. With uncertainty, she walks in, closing the door behind her. The room was so different from what she was used to, clean carpets, fancy couches with gold trims. Statues of the exorcist on the wall, with faceless mask. It was like they were looking down at her, like it knew that she didn’t belong there, how dare she taints the room with every step she takes.

Charlie looked around, hoping to see a sign of someone working there. She called out again with no answer. She made a face, calling the place creepy.

Hell,

The Heaven Embassy building always seemed intimidating, no matter how many demons roam around the streets. It was a rule that no one was to mess with the building or else you will be hunted down and punished severely. Besides, there was a magic barrier surrounding the building to prevent demons from desecrating the building. It would literally explode back into your face, forcing the demon to reform a much slower rate.

No other demon had ever been allowed to see the inside the building, only royalty or higher-ranking demons were invited in. So, it was a surprise for everyone in hell to finally see what was inside the Embassy building.

The interior of the building wasn’t really surprising, but the way the place was tidy and clean compared to most facilities in hell, it seems luxurious.

Charlie took a step towards the single desk; she glances around hoping again for someone to show up. She tilts her head at the bell and slams her hand on it. The bell dinged, and a golden parchment appeared in front of her.

It read “Heaven Embassy” With words that were too small for the screen to read. “Sign in” At the bottom of the parchment.

Charlie looked surprised, she skims through the paper and quickly writes down her name. She was quite creeped out by this, but she kept going. She waited for eternity for this moment, and she was going to do whatever it takes to get a single meeting with heaven. (To the best of her ability!)

Vaggie looked a bit uncomfortable at the lack of carefulness her girlfriend showed when writing her name down. She turns to look at Charlie, who only looked at her confused.

“Is something wrong?” Charlie asked, reaching for her hand.

“It’s nothing… But please read carefully before writing down your name, Charlie. There can be people who might trick you.”

Charlie gently leaned forward, pressing her forehead against Vaggie’s. “It’s okay, Vaggie. I know how to handle myself.”

Angel huffs “You just signed your name down without even reading the contents properly, toots. That doesn’t seem careful to me.”

Charlie smiles at him, touched that he cared for her safety. “I know, it’s a sign in sheet. You can see it right there in bold letters. Besides, it’s heavens embassy, they won’t need my soul for anything malicious.”

Vaggie bit her lip before turning her attention to the screen.

She looked dumbfounded when the parchment went straight into the air and disappeared into the ceiling. A door suddenly opened; the room was pitch black. Charlie blinked and put the disappearing parchment at the back of her mind. She looked with doubt as she tiptoed into the dark room.

“Huh, hello?” Charlie calls out, when she didn’t receive a reply, she walked deeper into the room, the door slamming shut behind her. She squealed, turning around. It was dark and she couldn’t see anything.

“Is anyone here?” Charlie asked, looked worried. She thinks she might be in a wrong room and wonders how she can leave the room. The door looks like it is closed shut, she didn’t exactly want to break it down and make a bad impression.

“Sup.” A man voice said behind her. The lights abruptly turn on, blinding Charlie as she cursed, she swirls around but loses her balance. She fell to the floor but quickly stood back up.

Heaven

“You think the princess of Hell would be aware someone would be in the same room as her.” A winner mumbles, she holds her hands together as if she was praying. She was concerned about this whole ideal, knowing that Heaven wasn’t as pure as she thought. But she thinks of how Hell was, just from a few minutes she was glad she was in heaven.

She glances around, there were multiple winners huddled around this little café. All paying attention to the screen on the wall. The workers had turned up the volume, as requested.

She didn’t know if she had the appetite to finish her tea and muffin anymore. Not after seeing the gory deaths on screen from the little musical number.

“The room was dark… You would’ve thought no one was hiding in the dark eating ribs.” Her sister replies, she was on the other side of the table, sipping her coffee. She was furrowing her brow at the screen.

“Who eats in the dark?” She asked. The winner giggles “It is really silly, isn’t it?”

Charlie quickly regains her composure, fixing her hair and wiping her clothes down from any dirt or wrinkles. She doubts the entire building is dirty, everything in the room looks really polished and clean. She could practically see her reflection in the gold trim of the table.

“Hi, I'm Charlie. My dad asked me if I could meet you.” She introduced herself to the man on the other side of the table. She looks at him with confusion, the man was sitting on a chair, seeming to be eating what looks like ribs.

He was wearing a mask that were similar to other exorcists, only his facial expression glowed yellow. His horns were also longer and more smoother with a golden ornament on the tip of the horns. He had a bright golden halo above his head, two spikes pointing opposite of each other. They were located in the front of his halo.  The man was wearing a smooth white and golden robe with a purple symbol on the front, gold-tipped spikes on back of his collar. He had two beautiful golden wings, with pale gold tips.

Heaven

Majority of Heaven knew this man, he was always seen around restaurants and bakery shops, ordering food.

They never approach the man, some intimidated by the sheer size of the man and the way he walks with confidence and power. It was obvious that he did have power, some winners knew that he was the leader of the army. Making sure that the winners in heaven were protected from outside sources that threaten heaven.

They respected the man, at least until they realize that he was the leader of the extermination that happens every year.

Most winners, lost respect for the man. No longer seeing him the same anymore, ashamed that they admired him. Most winners are in grief, knowing that the army most likely killed off their loved ones. Permanently.

Some winners wailing at the thought of their loved who sacrificed everything for them to have a better life, knowing that they went to hell for them.  The thought of their selfless loved one might have perished by the angelic weapon.

“Yeah, I know.” The man replied, looking uninterested. Beside the man, there was an exorcist standing menacing with her arms behind her back and glowering at her. It was obvious that the angel hated her guts.

“ Okay, well, it's nice to meet you.” Charlie smiled at the angel; she held out a hand for a handshake. The man was munching on the piece of ribs, taking all the meat from the bone and dropping it on the plate.  She felt curious on how the man was eating it, she always thought that the man was wearing a mask.

“Totally. Nice to meet you, too.” The angel replied, looking at her with mischief. He leans down to shake her hand. Charlie quickly reached out, but her hand went through his. She backs away with disbelief, looking at her hand.

Earth,

A little boy looked puzzled at the display. He blinked when the princesses hand went through the scary man hand, like he was a ghost. He gasps, covering his mouth with horror. “The scary man is a ghost. Heaven can have ghost?”

This scary man was imposter! He was a ghost! He must’ve tricked heaven that he was a real angel! Oh no! “Mama! Mama!” The boy shout, he looked at the shocked expression the pretty princess had. She must have realized too that he was an imposter pretending to be an angel.

“Mikey?!” His mama shouts, her steps thumping towards his room frantically. She burst open the door, holding a baseball bat in her hand as she pants while looking around his room. “What’s wrong, baby?” she asked, dropping the bat to the floor while rushing to his bedside.

She looked at the screen and frowned “Baby, I don’t want you to watch this. This is grown up show.” She said, getting ready to turn the button off. “But mama, this isn’t a show. It’s real! It shows heaven!” Mikey spoke, pointing to the window and the sky.

“Yeah, and it shows the bad place where bad people go, baby.” His mama said.

“But we have to tell the angels that they have an imposter!” Mikey protested. His mama paused, furrowing at him. “What do you mean, honey?” She asked, she glanced at the screen again. She was watching the tv from downstairs. She hopes that her baby didn’t watch the gory parts before this. She didn’t want him to have any more nightmares.

“That scary man is a ghost!” Mikey explains, pointing to the screen of the Angel. His mama looks at the screen, she had a realization expression on her face and Mikey grins in triumphant. She knows now!

“We have to tell Heaven that they are being tricked into thinking he is an angel!”

His mama looked at him with an amused expression and gently ran her fingers through his hair, he melted under her touch.

“Oh baby, that isn’t a ghost. It’s a hologram.”

“Hol-hologram?” Mikey looked puzzled, tilting his head.

“Yes, that scary man isn’t in the same room as the princess. It’s like… he is calling the princess from heaven.” His mama tried to explain to him, even though she was unsure herself.

“Oh.” Mikey mumbles, still looking confused but didn’t say anything else. He looked at the screen again, the scary man was laughing at the princess. His mama turned off the tv screen just as the man was about to curse.

“Mama...”

“You cannot watch this; this is grownups only.” His mama spoke, giving him a kiss on the forehead. “Besides, it’s your naptime. I’ll wake you up when it’s dinner time, okay? Your favourite.”

He beams “Nuggies?”

His mama chuckles, nodding to him. “Yes, nuggies and fries.”

The man cackles at her expression, he leans in close and points at her grinning smugly. “I fucking got you. Did you fuck' see that?” He leans back into his chair and gesture at the exorcist. She nods, confirming that she indeed seen that. She was watching Charlie and making sure she doesn’t try anything.

“Good shit.”

Earth

Most people were baffled at the lack of professional behaviour the man gave the woman. His behaviour screamed childish and immature. How can a leader of an army be this?

The fact that he was eating ribs in the middle of a meeting between a princess of Hell and heaven embassy. It was unprofessional.

“There’s no way this is the guy who leads that army.” A man spoke. “Unfortunately.” Alice mumbles, crossing her arms and leaning against the table. The food in front of her remains untouched.

Rein looked at the screen, his expression was in disbelief at the lack of care the Angel was showing. Like it wasn’t his worth his time, even though he was the one who requested the meeting.

“How can heaven let someone like him rule over an army?” Rein asked, still baffled. He can’t comprehend the information. “Maybe he has more experience?” Alice suggested, shrugging. She grimaces at the angel stuffing his mouth with more ribs. It was a miracle that he hadn’t stained his robe.

“Didn’t the beginning say that the extermination began centuries before?” Alice asked, looking at the screen.

Rein took a deep breath “It was implied. Probably began since the princess was young… We don’t know exactly how demons age.”

“Can you imagine new sinners going to hell and not even a year in, you get killed again? Permanently?” Alice spoke with sympathy in her voice. “It must be devastating to know that angels are the ones killing you for the last time. I mean, everyone knows that Angels were supposed to be forgiving and kind. But seeing those angels with the blades? Its gut-wrenching.”

Rein nods, “Not to mention this dickhead leading this army. Don’t want to die by his hand.”

Alice shivers “Nope… I hope I done good things in my life, I don’t want to end up in hell.”

Rein sighs, looking worn down. “I already know am heading straight down.”

“So, wait, you aren't here?” Charlie asked, confused, she pointed to the floor like asking if he was even in Hell or in the room at all. The man looked at her like she was crazy for even asking that simple question.

“No, you think I'd come down there?” The leader said, pointing downwards. He basically told her that he wasn’t even in hell, he was up in heaven enjoying himself from the wasteland that is called Hell.

Lust Ring, Hell, streets

One of the demons in the small crowd snorts at the ridiculous image. She was wearing a corset with a mini skirt, showing off her curves and blossoms. She had pale pink skin, telling what species she was. A succubus.

Lilac turns to her friend, another succubus; and gives her a grin. “It would be hilarious to see the big boss himself roaming in the streets. Wouldn’t it?”

Her friend giggles, “It would be a sight to see. I’d tap that.”

Lilac smacks her arms, laughing “Ew, you’re so gross!”

“Come on! It would be a lifetime opportunity! Imagine, you laid with an angel for one night!” Claire said, grinning at her with her sharp teeth. Lilac rolled her eyes before tilting her head at the leader of the angels.

“Wonder how he looks without the robe.” She says, mentally undressing the Angel. “Would he be fit or chubby?”

“I hope for chubby.” Claire hums, leaning forward to the lean, her nose practically touching the glass. Lilac huffs in amusement. “Of course you would, you love the big boys.”

“What can I say, they cuddle the best after sex.”

“No. I mean, I love the vibe, totally, I love your tunes. Pretty fuck' hardcore, don't get me wrong. But it's such a bummer, man. Everything down there's just so "eugh" ya know?” He continued, waving his hands around. He looked disgusted at the thought and sticked out his tongue.

Hazbin Hotel

Vaggie winced, turning her head from the screen. Charlie and Angel were to fixated to notice her actions. Vaggie stared at her hands, underneath her glove, her hands and arms were littered with scars. Scars she did herself from her guilt and sorrow. Charlie always looked sad, whenever she looks at her arms. To spare her feelings, Vaggie wore long gloves that cover her entire arms.

“A new fashion design. What do you think?” Vaggie asked Charlie. Showing her gloves with her outfit. Charlie had giggled and clapped her hands. “They are cute! They match you, Vaggie.” She encouraged her.

She remembers how Charlie would kiss her arms, stating she was beautiful, always. That was the moment that Vaggie realize that she was truly in love with Charlie… Her little sunshine. That was the moment she let go of her past, ready to be a new person who would stick by Charlie till the end.

That’s what made this entire scene hurt, Vaggie knew that deep inside, Adam wouldn’t change his mind. No matter how much Charlie tried, even if the project worked, it wouldn’t change Adam from doing the extermination.

She knows how much Adam despites demons. Everyone of them knew how much Adam hates demons.

She glances at Charlie; the poor girl was biting her lips, nervous about how the meeting was going to go.

“Well an’t he a ray of sunshine.” Angel sarcastically said, frowning at the comment.

Vaggie sighs, her chest filled with dread.

Charlie looked a bit annoyed but ignored the comment.

“Right. So, I'm happy we got this opportunity to meet. There's a project I've been working on that I really want to talk to you about…” Charlie spoke, she was cut off as the angel's hologram brushed against her lip, shutting her up.   

“Hey, hey, hey, slow down. We got time” The leader said, leaning back against the chair and held his hands together. “How about we get to know each other a little, mm?” He continued, he was still smiling widely.

“How about some lunch? You hungry? I got you” He asked, tilting his head at her, he reached out and grabbed his plate of ribs and held it out to her, offering her a piece. “Here’s my personal favourite. You’ll love it.” He grins.

Charlie nervously thanks him; she didn’t want to reject his offer, so she reached out to grab a single piece. When she tried to grab the bone that sticked out, easier for her to grab, her hand went through the plate.

She already forgot that leader wasn’t even in the same room as her. She felt her cheeks flush in embarrassment when the man burst out laughing. He put his plate back on the table and points at her again, cackling that he tricked her again. Charlie gave a weak chuckle, looking as if she regrets being there.

Hazbin Hotel

“Are you kidding? This is who I have to work with?” Charlie exclaimed, throwing her arms in the air. “He seems like a prick!” She adds glaring at the angel.

“Now I can see why dad didn’t want to go for the meeting.” She crosses her arms, pouting.

Angel chuckles, patting her back. “Yeah, sucks to be you.”

Vaggie shook her head.

Heaven, Library

Sera sighs at the unprofessional behaviour Adam was displaying for the whole world to see. Oh, how she wished for everything to blow over already and everything go back to normal. It was a feeble thought, an unrealistic wish that will never come true. IT was time for her to face her fears and face the backlash she would surely come face to face with. Once the upper angels get a word of this. This would be the end for her.

The end of Adam.

The end of the Extermination.

She did everything she could to keep Heaven safe, why couldn’t everyone see? She did this so the demons down there would rise up in power and come bursting though their gates and do God knows what?

She shook her head at using her fathers name in vain.

She wonders if Father would… be disappointed in her if he knew what she did.

Sera looked at Emily exhausted expression, watching her younger sister skim through the mountain of books surrounding her to find even a hint of the deity they are trying to research with out avail.   

Emily hadn’t spoken to her, choosing to ignore her presence as she researched for the Deity that decided to reveal their existence to the whole world. She was piling books on the table, skimming through each book that might mention the deity with no luck.

She can feel Adam’s and Lute presence coming closer to her location, she took a deep sigh and lifting her head high. She knew that they were done for. They are to reap what they sow.

The scene changed back to the hotel residents. Vaggie called a meeting, gathering everyone in the main area. She wanted to do something special before Charlie came back from her meeting and she hopes they can finish it before then. She took a glance at the employees and didn’t really feel confident that they could get the work done in time. She just must work with what she has got; she can do this.

Earth, Streets

“She doesn’t look very confident.” Marie spoke, amused. She took a bite of her muffin. Derek looked at the screen and narrowed his eyes at the little employees Vaggie had to work with.

“I wouldn’t be confident if they were the only employees working. I’m surprised the Princess hadn’t bothered hiring more workers.” He muses, leaning against his hands. He poked his own muffin, not having the appetite to eat anymore after seeing all the gory deaths that happened.

While he enjoyed the musical, he wasn’t a fan of blood. So, he closed his eyes during the entire musical and only listened to the princess sing her song while skipping across town.

“I wonder if musicals are common in hell.” Derek adds. Marie hums, she took a sip of her tea. “From the looks of it, it is.” She replies.

“Imagine having to be forced to sing in hell, I surely don’t want to crack windows if I were to sing.” Marie mumbles, smirking. “I was told I was a horrible singer since the age of 10, when I would scream my heart out.”

Derek rolled his eyes “Because that was screaming and not singing, Marie.”

“hmm”

“I think you would have a shitty singing voice.” Derek snickers. Marie playfully glares at him, her lip twitching.

“I’d think babies would cry if they ever heard you sing, Derek. Don’t think I don’t hear you in the shower.”

“Okay, so, Charlie is dealing with something very important, so while she's gone, we are making a new commercial.” Vaggie said, she was pacing back and worth. “One that represents her vision and what we're doing here. So, we need a camera.” Vaggie finishes.

 She turns to Alastor “Alastor?”

Without saying anything Alastor snapped his fingers, an old vintage camera appeared in Vaggie’s outstretch hand. She looked at him with disappointment, she repeated that she needed a video camera, not this old fashion camera from the 80’s.

Alastor hums, before snapping his fingers again and this time it was a video camera, it was still an outdated camera, but she can work with it.

 Earth, an old safety apartment

In a very old but well-kept apartment, an old gentleman furrows his brow at the old technology. He turns to look at a door, filled with old trinkets he has been collecting over the years.

That old camera looks familiar, a model he manages to get his hands on. He was always fond of old technology, keeping them from rotting and molding, he takes care of his collection. It was a passion of his. That looks like an antique Kodak camera.

“I believe I have an exact model of that camera.” The gentleman murmurs, he decided to walk to the door and opened it and turned on the lights. The room was a big spacious area, a perfect place for him to display his collection. He walked over to a display case and opened it, he carefully picked up the same camera he saw from the television and carefully inspected it.

“The exact model…” He tilts his head; he puts the camera back into place and closed the glass door.  He glances at his other collection; he wonders if the demon would show any more of his technology, he was clearly familiar with than the modern technology.

“If I were to guess, this demon is from the early 1900’s or closer to it.” He ponders, narrowing his eyes. He adjected his glasses, he abruptly walks out the door and goes into his office.

Now that he thinks of it, he distantly recognizes that voice. Like a distance memory that lingers in his brain, itching his mind with fuzzy memories of listening to the radio when he was younger.

“How curious…”

“Alright, let’s do this.” She looked determined and gave the others a thumbs up, ignoring the groans of Husk and snickers of Angel.

It skips ahead to Angel and Husk by the bar, the screen taking the camera pov for this bit. Husk looked at his script with frustration, glaring at the piece of paper in front of him while Angel didn’t even have his own script, already having memorized. It comes with his job.

“And… Action!” Vaggie called out, she pressed the recording button and kept silence as she focuses the camera on the two.

"Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel. Can I help you with anything?" Husk read his line badly, not even bothering to hide the script from screen. Vaggie bit her lip from saying anything and just kept going with the recording.

Hazbin Hotel

Charlie snorts, covering her mouth to muffle her laughter at the demon cat. Vaggie slapped her forehead, groaning while cursing in Spanish about how useless this is going. Angel smirks, leering at the demon cat.

“Ohh ohh,I cannot wait for this shit to hit downwards. Ha!” Angel cackles, slapping his knees. “I can already see what am going to do the moment it’s my turn.”

Charlie giggles.

"I've been a bad boy, and I need a big, strong daddy to put me in my place…on the path to redemption!" Angel grins, leering at Husk and leans close to the put his finger under Husk chin. Husk glares at him, groaning with displeasure before he glances at his script again to continue.

Hazbin Hotel

“Fucking called it!”

“Angel! Come on!”

"Well, you come—" He was cut off by Angel’s moaning “Oh, yes!”

He was officially done with this shit “to the right place.” He finishes, glowering at the spider demon. He already knew that this recording wasn’t going to work anymore with how the damn spider demon sexual innuendos. He just doesn’t want to do this again.

Vaggie slams the button to stop the recording, frustrated. “Cut! Okay, Angel, I need you to be less horny if possible, and Husk, can you maybe not have the script in front of your face?” She said, with exasperation in her tone.

Vaggie groaned, covering her face. Charlie giggles, covering her mouth. Angel just grins smugly, leering at the screen.

“That’s what this commercial needs. Now people would be dying to come through the door!” Angel spoke.

Charlie gave him a smile before shaking her head. “You know I wouldn’t use you like that Angel.”

Angel huff before rolling his eyes “Suit yourself.”

“Besides, has much as I appreciate you wanting to help with this; I think using sexual… act wouldn’t really prove on what am really trying to do.” She spoke. “Thank you though, really I do appreciate that you want to help bring in more people to the hotel.”  

Angel turned away, facing the screen with an expression.

Charlie turned to Vaggie, giving her girlfriend a kiss on the lips. She smiles at her. “And thank you for wanting to remake another commercial to surprise me with. Even though I know it’s not… Going the way you want it to be, I really appreciate the effort.” Charlie murmurs, closing her eyes and leaning against Vaggie. “I’ll love the commercial no matter what.”

Vaggie blushes, she closed her eye and leans into her touch. “I know my future self Is working with what she gets. But am glad she decided to at least try. Knowing how the Leader of the Angel is being a bastard, I’m sure the commercial would cheer you up.”

Charlie chuckles and smiles.

“Just spending time with you cheers me right up.”

“Blahh blah blah! Shut it lovebirds, am trying to watch tv here!” Angel butts in, glaring at them and using the motion across his lips to tell them to zip it. Vaggie rolled her eyes.

 Husk angrily slaps the script on the counter, stating that he doesn’t know how to act and cannot memorize the lines. He glares at Angel who leans in his space, muttering how they can improv, calling him baby cakes. Purring seductively at the cat demon. 

 Husk promptly shoves Angel off the counter, muttering whoops sarcastically. He brought out a bottle of alcohol and chugged it down.

“Husk, Come on.” 

Hell, Pride Ring

 Husk made a disgusted expression, scowling at the catcalls and whistling the demons around him were making. ‘Goddamnit, why me?’

He was already dreading the moment he would be summoned randomly, unsure when it’s time for the surrounding to random change around him and he would be face to face with the radio bastard.

Though, he wasn’t really expecting to be working in a hotel as a bartender. From the looks of it, the bastard doesn’t seem to care that he drinks on the job. So, it wasn’t really that bad, the only downside of this whole shit is the fucking pornstar who won’t leave him alone.

Husk took a deep breath, closing his eyes as he rested his head on the counter of the bar. Ignoring the comments from the demons around him, some congratulations him for whatever shit reason.

“Hey man, you should be lucky the porn star is interested in you!” One sinner patted him on the shoulder. Husk shoves his arm off and glares at him.

“Not interested in that shit.”

“Your loss.”

Husk scowls at him, taking a sip of his drink and giving the demon a finger. He might as well try to enjoy the last bit of freedom he has.

It cuts back to Embassy building, Charlie was sitting on the chair, her arms crop up and supporting her head as she was leaning against it. She looked a bit bored and mentally exhausted as the man in front of her was blabbering non-sense about something she didn’t really bother to pay attention to.

“So I was playin' this gig, and for some fuck' reason this virtue chick was diggin' on the drummer, and it's like, do you know who I am?” The Angel spoke, frowning. He pointed to himself.

Earth,

Most people were baffled at the barbaric language this holy angel was babbling out, talking with his mouth full of food. It was just... Something they didn’t expect. He wasn’t acting how they thought Angels would act. Just who was this angel with power?

“I'm fuck' Adam. I'm the original dick! All dicks descend from me. You think you want drummer dick?” He asked, he gave the exorcist a look and she shook her head. “No way, I'm the dick-fuck master!”

Heaven, Streets

“There is no way…” Grant whispers to himself; he turns to look out the window from the small café he was in. For once, the streets were silent. Ever since this morning, there were protest across heaven. Winners holding signs and marching to the embassy building, all demanded them to explain themselves and to stop the extermination.

It was surprising how fast people form a protest.

He heard from nearby gossip that a group of protestors saw Adam enter the embassy building, he tried to enter secretly from the back door, but protestors had the entire building surrounded so they all knew he was in the building. While the embassy building had gates surrounding the property, it didn’t stop winners from banging on it and trying to tear it down.

“I hadn’t seen this kind of protest in such a long time.” Grant said to himself, he watches from the news site on his phone, there was a livestream of people throwing things at the building, or at least trying to. There seemed to be a barrier preventing people from destroying the building. Apparently, the gates had a barrier as well, since he just witnesses from the livestream that a winner who was lucky to be reborn with wings tried to fly over the gates, only to faceplant into an invisible wall.

So far there was no sign of anyone from the building to calm the protest yet.

At the reveal of Adam himself is leading the extermination, he can feel the tension surround the streets. Filled with disbelief, denial, anger. It was suffocating and Grant wished he never bothered to get up this morning and just stayed home while curled up in a blanket and watched the future from the safety of his home.

Grant never had any family, he was an orphan growing up, abandoned. He didn’t really know what to think about this new revelation. It was like gut punch after gut punch. He never had any friends as well, being bullied for not having any parents and all.

He doesn’t know what to think, he wasn’t really religious when he was alive. At first, he thought he would go straight in hell for not believing in God and Jesus, but he was welcomed with open arms into the gates of heaven and live life comfortably. He knew about the basic of the bible, he was fairly surprised about Lilith being equal to Adam and the fact she was the first woman and not Eve.

Hey, no one in heaven seem to care that every winner doesn’t know history about the bible, no angel seems to correct winner about the book.

So, imagine the surprise of Adam himself being the leader of the extermination. Killing demons himself for many years seemingly without remorse.

It would ruin a lot of people expectations.

Grant closed his eyes and softly prays for something… He doesn’t know what to pray for anymore…

Charlie looked a big dumbfounded, taking in his words. The leader in front of her was Adam? Like the original Adam? She can see him take another bite of ribs.

“So anyway, then we fucked, and it was awesome. What'd you do this weekend?” He asked, with his mouth full of food.

“Wait, your name is Adam? Like the first man Adam? That means you… Ohhh...That explains so much.” Charlie spoke, looking a bit pinched. She leaned back against the chair.

Hazbin Hotel

Charlie looked dumbfounded at the reveal. She looked at the ground in shock, confusion, disbelief, then anger. Shouldn’t Adam want sinners to be redeemed?

She knew from her books that Adam wasn’t a good person, controlling, abuse of power. Everything her mother spoke about him; it was true, and it struck something in her heart. Pure anger.

Knowing how Adam behaved in front of her, she doesn’t blame her mom from fleeing the garden. For wanting to escape with dad instead of Adam…

“Aren’t he a charmer?” Angel sarcastically said, crossing his arms and scowling at the screen.

“I know. I fucking rock” He boast himself up, he held up his hand in the sign of the horns.

Charlie mentally rolled her eyes, ignoring the comments Adam muttered about himself. She brushes it off and stood up from the chair. “Well, Adam, sir. Mr. Adam, sir” Charlie awkwardly stammered out.

“Call me, Dickmaster.” Adam tried to help her call him something, grinning at her. Charlie ignored it and just called him “Adam.”

Hazbin Hotel

Charlie scoffs, crossing her arms. “Unbelievable. “

“You seem like a smart-“She pauses, taking in the man sloppily eating the plate of ribs. “…Well, stand up guy” She weakly finishes. Adam looked uninterested, picking at his teeth from any leftover meat. Charlie was still confused on how it works.

“And I know you are the leader of the angels. And you are a big thinker, a revolutionary. A---A genius!” She gave him a smile, hoping to get on his good die and would agree to her plans if she butters him up.

“I mean, your words, babe.” Adam chuckles.

Charlie was covering her face with her hands, completely mortified. She cannot believe her future self was complimenting Adam, this this… bastard of a man! He doesn’t deserve those words.

“I cannot believe I am feeding into his ego…” Charlie moans with despair. Angel snickers. Vaggie just gave her a weak chuckle before patting her head.

“I mean… You are trying to… Get him to agree to your plans.”

“By sucking up to him!”

“Angel!”

“Who would really love to put his name on something.” Charlie continues going. She was slowly bringing up her plans.

Adam looked excited, nodding in agreement “Fucking love putting my name on shit! Shit’s the best!”

“It’s a solution to our biggest problem!” Charlie lifts her hands in the air, hoping Adam would understand what her point was.

“Oh, herpes. Yeah, that’s a bitch.” Adam nods, leaning back against his chair.

Earth,

“This is too much to handle.” A woman mumbles, she was clutching her hair and felt like she tugged a lock of hair, but at this point she doesn’t really care. She can see the subreddits already flooding in about the identity of Adam.

She faintly opens a post with multiple comments flowing in. The post was about how Adam was a disgraceful and disgusting pig and should be the one sent to hell. There were also comments about where Eve was during all of this.

There wasn’t any idea where Eve went in the beginning, just that Lucifer the devil had offered her the forbidden apple and there was nothing else.

“Surely they will show Eve soon.” A post said, “It can’t just be about Lilith, Adam and the devil.” It continued. They also posted screenshots of the hell city and circled around parts where graffiti about a mysterious powerful person that was warning demons about.

“That’s just warning of that radio demon. See you can see his silhouette.” Someone pointed out from the screenshot. “How powerful is that demon anyways? He seems scary.”

“I wonder how the hierarchy is down there.”

“I would like to see the hierarchy honestly; it would be interesting to see how that works or is it just free for all?”  There were comments about if it was free for all world, there wouldn’t be buildings standing up or a society honestly. It would be a wasteland.

The woman sighs, closing her eyes. She could hear the arguing of the couple next door, the walls were always thin, and she could practically hear their conversation everything. She honestly feels bad for their little girl for dealing with that 24/7.

“My family is in disarray about Adam. They are sobbing about the reveal and wondering if her bible was false.” A redditor posted. “Lol, I never liked the religion so it’s hilarious to see people fall apart about this whole entire thing.”

“My family is Christians, and they believe Adam is doing the right thing by killing those demons again for good. I would say they deserve it. They might be rapist or pedos.”

“I admit those kinds of demons I don’t give a shit about. They can double dies for all I care.”

“My asshole of a father is saying that women should’ve obeyed the men because Adam said so. He is ranting about it for an entire hour already and I want to kill myself but am afraid I might go to hell for it. Help.”

“Does killing in self defense count as going to hell? What makes you go to hell?” “By being a terrible person, I assume.”

“This just proves that demons are not terrible! Some might’ve only gone to hell for something minor like addiction or suicide! That doesn’t make you deserve to go in hell! They don’t deserve to get punished twice!”

“This is not a good day for women around the world… Men might use this as a way to control women’s rights because of this fucking bastard called Adam. I refuse to believe this is actually Adam. He is a man child.” A post stated it had a picture of the person sticking the middle finger at Adam.

“Honestly, people are overreacting, it stated from the very beginning that Adam was a control freak. I don’t know why people are shocked to know Adam is a misogynistic piece of shit. IT WAS STATED FROM THE BEGINNING FOLKS!”

“But how can we know if this is really how Adam is like? The beginning was made from a book the PRINCESS OF HELL was reading… You know, the devil probably made it to make himself look better. Plus can you really blame Adam? He doesn’t have to be polite with a DEMON from hell. He is an Angel!”

“But from this meeting alone with the princess of Hell, you would assume you would at least be professional for a meeting. Wouldn’t you be afraid to meet the princess of the devil? Or meeting the devil himself?”

“Man, this shit is mindblowning… Time for the world to end! YEAHHHHH!”

The woman shut off her phone and stared at the screen.

It was chaos on social media, it was best not to scroll through it for her mental health. She doesn’t think she can handle any more stress as it is. The news is probably having a field day, and podcast are forming their opinions, and it was just… crazy how this changed so fast.

“Adam…Kills demons.” She whispers, leaning against her couch and pulling the blanket over her body as she mutes the tv. She doesn’t really want to hear it anymore; she’s going to take a nap and maybe rewatch it later. No doubt people are going to repost the whole thing.

“I shouldn’t feel sympathy for the demons… But… I feel it’s unfair how you get punished twice. Isn’t going to hell punishment enough?” She asked herself.  She always thought about… hurting herself before… If she did the… thing, would she have gone to hell for it?

She sighs, feeling exhausted from the entire thing, everything was so messy and confusing. Guess she has to live her miserable life until she dies naturally.

“Fuck..”

“No! Our… other biggest problem.” Charlie tried to help him get back on track, looking at him.

“Oh… uh… ugly people?” He tried, giving her a playful smile. “Math? Global warming? Nah, that’s Earth’s problem.” Adam waved that idea off. He always hated math; I mean seriously. That’s a bitch to remember and shit. Global warming was in fact Earth’s problem with all their invention that is harmful to the environment. He felt a bit sad about the fact most plant life was dying slowly but it was humanity fault. It wasn’t his fault anymore and he wiped his hands the moment he ascended heaven.

Charlie stares with annoyance at the ignorance Adam was showing. Or maybe he just doesn’t care about it. Still, she has to try again.

Earth,

“Well, guess heaven or hell won’t help with the global warming.” A man muses, crossing his arms. “Not like it helped with any of the crisis we ever experienced in life.”

He chuckles and shakes his head. “Well, he did prove that global warming is in fact real, and politicians and government would have to listen now.”

He glances at the screen “Adam is a piece of work… I kinda feel sorry for this princess.”

It cuts back to the hotel, Vaggie was trying to record a different scene, this time it was Niffty’s turn. The small maid was on the floor, attempting to stab a bug that was scurrying around the floor, as if it was mocking the maid that she was too slow to kill it. Still Niffty never backs down from a challenge, she readied her needle again.

Hazbin Hotel

Vaggie winces at the damage to the floor. She can tell that the little maid was honestly going to make a bigger mess than cleaning.

‘Don’t worry, we will have better staff in the future.’ She thought to herself.

Vaggie stops her before she can stab it, she huffs and turns her attention to Vaggie. She can see from the corner of her eye that the bug wanders off and escapes. She will get the bug later, she always does.

“Alright Niffty. Your line is “We have the cleanest rooms?”, okay?” Vaggie instructed her.

Niffty nods, “Got it. I’m ready!” She bounced in excited as she waited for the word.

Earth,

While most people were still shocked at Adam, some people were thankful focusing on something else than that. A hotel maid snorts at the line. She shook her head, thinking about how messy the hotel really was. Not to mention the infestation of bugs she saw just from watching the screen.

Not to mention the little maid was making more of a mess around, just from trying to kill the bugs in a… unique way.

“That hotel isn’t going to work if that’s how its running.” She chuckles.

Vaggie stood up and grabs her camera before pointing it at the small maid and saying “Action” The Camera beeps.

It showed the pov of the camera and Niffty was smiling for a second before she froze and stared blankly at the camera.

Hell, Streets.

Niffty pouts, crossing her arms and turning her head from the screen. So, what if she was camera shy! She never been recorded before! She tilts her head and the snickers from different demons lurking around the streets. She grins and skips along. She didn’t know where the hotel was so she would just wait until Alastor summons her.

Oh, she cannot wait! She is going to have so much fun killing bugs and do the thing she loves doing! Cleaning! Cleaning and killing, a job in one is like a dream for her!

“Hmmm.~” Niffty twirls around and grinning at the demon in front of her who scurries out of her way. ”Nope, you’re not a bad boy.” She hums, tightly grasping her knife.

“Is there a bad boy in the future?” Niffty mumbles, sighing dreamily. “Ohh, Adam is a bad boy, the biggest bad boy!” She held her hands together and dreamily sighs, fluttering her eyelash.

“I’d like to collect a feather from him, oh I wish I can meet him! To further my collection.”

A demon looks at her weirdly.

Vaggie looked concern, she pulled away from her camera to stare at the girl. Angel can be seen to poke his head out, looking a bit concern and weirded out. Before pulling back from the scene. It looked quite funny.

Vaggie awkwardly closed the camera and said cut. Niffty giggles, seeming out of her daze and asking how it went. Excited.  Vaggie responds that she would have to actually say the line.

Niffty looked a bit sad before nodding her head when Vaggie said to roll again.

It was just a rinse and repeat and Vaggie looked a bit frustrated before closing her camera. Angel unhelpfully said she was doing great while mispronouncing her name purposely. She looked a bit helpless. She said she’d try to fix it in post.

Hazbin Hotel

Angel snickers at the red face Vaggie. “Do you even know what that mean?” He asked. Vaggie growls and covers her face in frustration.

“Argh… This is the worst.” Vaggie huffs, hitting her head. Charlie grabbed her wrist and held it, she giggled. “It’s not so bad, Vaggie. Maybe Alastor can help you with this!”

Vaggie shook her head “I highly doubt that… That bastard doesn’t even like modern technology. I don’t think he would even be near one.”

“Hey, he did make the first commercial.” Angel said. “Even if it was dogshit, he made one. Wonder if he used a modern video camera for that one.”

Charlie smiles “He did make the first one, didn’t he? It was…something, but he tried!”

Vaggie huffs, “Hmm. I don’t think Alastor would help me with making a new commercial. We did tell them that the one he made was terrible.” She replies.

Angel asked her if she knew what that meant. Vaggie angrily said she would figure it out before walking off.  Angel crosses his arms, watching her storm off, he looked at her retreating figure with doubt but shrugs it off and wonders off.

Angel cackles while Vaggie face goes red.

The scene changed to a dark room with the tv screen luminating the room. The sound of Husk can be heard from the tv, it was the recordings. Vaggie was leaning forward, leaning his elbows on her knees as she presses her hand on her forehead while she groans at the failed recordings. It didn’t go as she hoped.

She covered her face just as Alastor appeared before her and mocking her situation.

“Seems like you're having a bit of trouble there, hm?” Alastor said.

Vaggie groans “Ugh, este pendejo (This asshole) ... Why are you even here?” She glares at the smug asshole in front of her, watching him sit on the other couch. He was leaning against the couch and giving her the biggest smug smirk, making Vaggie wish she can smack it off his face.

Hell, Bar

“That woman has guts to call the radio demon that.” A demon smiles, he mentally cheers for the woman and took a swig at his drink. A demon looked at him with curiosity. “Really? What did she call him?” She leans forward.

“She basically called him an asshole to his face.”

The demon looked surprised and snickered, she put her hand on her mouth. “Really?! Oh, I love this girl!”

The demon nods, smirking widely with his sharp teeth.

“Same, I hope this Vaggie stays alive long enough.” He spoke.

“Yeah, right if the radio demon would kill her!” Another demon shouted; he got up waving his arm in the air. “She the princess bitch!” He adds.

The other demons around the bar all seem to nod to each other, cackling like hyenas.   Hmm, looks like the demon who said that was a hyena demon hybrid, same goes with the demons around them. It was annoying.

The demon rolled his eyes at the pack and turned his head. The woman beside them huffs, and leans against the counter, her breast popping out more. She leers at him “It’s true, Vaggie belongs to the princess. I doubt the Princess would let the demon hurt her.”

The demon sighs and nods. “Well, I would really push it. The bastard is petty and hates being not in control.”

“Ohh? You personally know him?”

“Somewhat.”

“For the entertainment! I came here because I love seeing wasteful souls struggle to accomplish something meaningful and fail spectacularly. Like you are doing now! Good Job!” Alastor grins.

Vaggie abruptly stood up from her chair and grabbed her camera and turned it on. She points it to Alastor.  “And here is Alastor, the egocentric piece of shit that...”

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you, my dear.” Alastor darkly mutters, glaring at the screen, baring his teeth.

It showed the pov of the camera and the moment it tried to pan to Alastor, the scene flickered and the camera burst. Vaggie caught off guard yelp and dropped the camera. The camera hit the ground with a thud, smoke coming from the device and sparks of green exploded from it. Vaggie stares at the broken camera with shock, she turned her attention back to Alastor.

“I wouldn't try that my dear.” Alastor spoke, his tone turning dark as he looms over her. “This face was made for radio!” He said, his face turning sinister as his voice turned darker. The screen itself was glitching out, the sound of screeching tune echoed the room.

Earth

“My word…” An elderly mother clutched her cross to her chest, feeling terror running through her body as the demon form glitches the screen and his menacing grin. It was like it was staring at her through the screen.

“I don’t think I can watch this any longer.” But she was curious, she always knew that Heaven and Hell were real, she just doesn’t know how it would look and be like. This was one in a lifetime opportunity to see it in real time. Without having to die just to see it.

She honestly didn’t expect Hell to be like New York though, she thought it was more fire and torture. Screaming, something like that.

Her daughter was silent beside her, she was biting her lip and shuddering at the unsightly sight of the deer demon.  “Guess he is camera shy, uh?” She mutters, giving her a forced smile.

The elder frowned, confused. “Are you alright? You are pale.” She reached up to touch her daughter forehead, but the younger woman just gently took her hand into her own.

“I’m fine mama. Just tired and exhausted from this whole thing.” She mumbles. She turns her attention to the screen and closed her eyes. ‘Guess I wasn’t hallucinating that one time.’ She thought.

She remembers distinctly of a horrid creature mauling someone, she was a stupid teenager, a wild teenager who is rebellious and seeks adventures. She got one… It was a memory that traumatized her, and she remembers it clear as day. One part of her is certain that it wasn’t real, and it was just a dream.

This whole revealing the truth of Hell and Heaven, she realizes what she saw was a demon… One of those red skin, horn demons. It was a short demon, wearing nothing but a black attire and it was slaughtering someone alone in the woods.  She fainted, unable to process the amount of blood and gore littering the ground.

She kept this a secret for many years, and now, she knew that a demon was responsible for the murder of that person.

It just made her even more terrified, knowing that demons can freely roam earth and kill without care.

She opens her eyes and mentally prays for her family safety during all of this.

Vaggie looked shocked before her expression turned angry.

"That's it! I don't care who or what you are. If you are staying here, you are going to make this work. Because it won't be so "entertaining" to watch over an empty hotel will it, shitass?”  Vaggie spat, walking up to the tall demon and pointed to his chest. Glaring at the grinning demon. 

Hazbin Hotel

Angel whistled, crossing his arms. “Wow, you sure showed him who’s boss. Ha!”

Vaggie smirks, leaning back against the couch. Charlie sighs and shook her head “You shouldn’t rouse him up, Vaggie. I’m afraid that he will snap and hurt you.” She said, worried.

Vaggie tsk, rolling her eye and patting Charlie on the back

“Relax, babe, Alastor cannot hurt me if he wanted this whole thing to work. He would lose favor from you.” She replies. Charlie tilts her head, raising her brow at her.

“Are you using me as a shield?” She smiles.

Vaggie snorts “Probably, it’s a nice way to kick Alastor off his pedestal.”

“The advantages of being friends with the princess of hell.” Angel spoke, grinning. Charlie looked a bit touched, not even caring that her friends are using her status to their advantage. It doesn’t really help them at all really, most of Hell doesn’t take her seriously anyways. But she is the daughter of Lucifer and that tends to steer people away.

“You see me as your friend, Angel? Really?” She tears eyes, clashing her hands together and looking at Angel with happiness in her eyes. Angel gulp, suddenly feeling regret.

Charlie pounces at him.  

Alastor narrowed his eyes at her, for pointing her finger in his face but shrugs it off since she did have a point there.

“Fair enough. I'll tell you what! Let's make a deal.” Alastor shrugs before walking up to her with his hands behind his back. 

Vaggie laughs, “Do you think I'm that stupid? Making a deal with a demon like you.” She replies, she sat down on the chair, crossing her arms and giving him a stare like he was crazy. He was crazy but that’s beside the point.

Hell,

“Atta girl, don’t make deals with that bitch ass.” Husk grumbles out, lifting one eye open and leaning heavily against the counter. He was already drunk.  “Or else you might regret it for the rest of your sad existence.”

“Yesh… The radio demon has you under leech, uh?” The bartender mumbles, cleaning a glass before reaching and giving Husk a new bottle. “Here, it’s on the house.”

“…Thanks.”

“Not for your soul, just a simple deal. I do this for you, and you never ask me to engage with this frivolous television technology ever again.” Alastor said, waving his hand. He leaned down to Vaggie and folded his arms behind his back. He looked disgusted at the thought of using modern technology.

Hell, Streets

Alastor snickers, he held his cane closer to himself and squints at the screen. He made sure that no other demon was able to see him. He rather not deals with the Vee’s during this time. At least not until he can visit the hotel, he just has a few stops to go to before going to the hotel.

“Come on, girl. Take the deal, I’d rather not use anymore… Technology that I already have.” He sneers, dusting off dirt from his coat.  The newer technology has the Vee’s signature all over it, he rather not has some kind spying malware any where near him. Not like it won’t work anyways but he just doesn’t like them.

He prefers radio over tv.

“Or... Charlie can come back to absolutely nothing! your choice.” He gave her a choice. Does she want to impress Charlie and cheer her up with something after coming back from a useless meeting? Or just figure it out herself. Easy enough, isn’t it?

Heaven,

Molly bit her lips, she can already see what decision Vaggie was going to do, it was written on her face. “Surely this deal really is harmless?” She asked, uncertain. She was filled with concern over the girl.

Her mother was shuffling around, she looked worried as well for the safety of Vaggie.

“He did say the deal wasn’t for her soul…But words can mean something entirely different… If you’re not careful.” She replies.

Molly didn’t seem to like the answer, she sighs “Vaggie is going to agree to it… I hope it won’t blow up in her face…”

Vaggie looked like she was having second thoughts before she sighs “Fine.”

She reached down and took the broken camera and gave Alastor the camera who had his hand out. The moment the camera touched Alastor hand; it began to glow out neon green. Showing the deal between them.

Hazbin Hotel

“I really hope I won’t regret it.” Vaggie mumbles, clutching her hair. Charlie smiles shaking her head. “I’m sure Alastor wouldn’t trick you like that… Plus It’s not in writing. So it’s not that serious… Guess he really hates technology that much uh?”

“You’re telling me… Guy literally wants to make a deal so he wouldn’t have to help with that anymore… Ha.” Angel said. “You’re lucky, toots.”

“I don’t feel lucky…”

“Now then.” Alastor mutters, he claps his hands and the camera vanished. He snapped his fingers and the scenery around them began to change. Vaggie looked surprised and stared with hidden awe.

The room she was in made it look like it was a movie set, the background showing camera facing the room. Angel, Niffty and Husk was suddenly there. Angel crossing his arms, unamused. He didn’t like the act that he was able to be summoned by the strawberry pimp.

Little demons appeared behind Vaggie, making her glance behind her. Green magic surrounds Niffty and Angel, changing their clothes to match to 1900’s. (I think.. Sorry if wrong) .  Angel didn’t seem bothered by this change and was in fact checking himself out while Niffty was blankly staring.  Husk appeared didn’t really change besides have a new set of cuffs on his wrist. He looked done.

“Alright, everyone! Let's make a fucking commercial.” Vaggie said, with determination in her voice as her appearance changed, along with them.

Earth

It was really bizarre to witness actual magic being done. Given, it still looks like it was cgi or whatever but to think that this was showing the future and what not, MAGIC was real. It was something that really exist, even if it’s only in death do they get to witness it in person.

Children who are supervised watching the tv all clap at the effects Alastor was showing. The way he effortlessly waved around and changed the surroundings to his fitting. The neon green magic flaring beautifully on screen.

“I want cool magic like him, mommy.” The little girl said, pointing to the screen. “I want to make everything awesome! And pretty!”

The mother nervously chuckles “I don’t think humans can do magic sweetie.”

The girl shook her head “I mean, when I die. I want to be able to do magic like he does.”

“I don’t think the demon shouldn’t be your role model, sweetie. He hurts people.”

The girl huffs, turning back to the screen. She just wants to do magic; doesn’t mean she wants to hurt people with it. She should be a magician when she is older.

To think that Alastor was once human to. It must take great practice to expertly handle magic like it was nothing.

Charlie looked miserable. The yapping of Adam was making her lean against her hands as she listened to the story unrelated to their conversation echoed on.

“When you take her out for the fifth time, and she still expects you to pay the check, but you're like, -”

"Hey, I thought you wanted equality" Adam said with a high pitch voice, mocking the female voice as he waves on with his totally useless story.

As usual, most women cringe at the nonsense sprouting out of Adam mouth.

 “No! Our shared problem of overpopulation in Hell.” Charlie said with anger in her face as she clutched her hands into a fist. She raised in arms in the air with frustration.

“Ohh! Well, that's not a problem! We got that covered. Lute, how many demons did you kill this year?” Adam said, holding his hands together. He turned to the angel beside him and the angel walked forward, their hands behind their back.

“Got a good 275 this year, sir.” Lute replied.

“Whoa, Badass! Awesome job, danger tits! Pound it.” Adam exclaimed, holding his fist out. Lute pounded his fist.

Heaven, Streets

A winner was peering out the window of her single room apartment. She glances at the protest with a concern expression. She puts her hand on the window and took a deep breath.

The words of Adam wash over her and she felt a hint of anger in her chest at his comment. How can he be so calm about this? How can he feel no remorse for killing sinners a second time, only permanently this time.

She was only in Heaven for only 5 years now, having cancer kill her when she only 35 years old. When she passes through the heavenly gates, she scurried to looked for her father who pass after she gradated university and got her diploma. The picture of her in her gown and diploma, and an older man beside her, hugging her closely as they smiled brightly for the camera. It was on her bedroom desk, surrounded by flowers and a box of letters she wrote everyday to him.

It broke her when she realizes that her father wasn’t in heaven like she thought he would be. If someone deserve to be in heaven, it was her father who gave her everything.

He did everything in his power to give her a good life, overturning his life around so he can raise her in a healthy environment. She remembers finding old photos under her father’s bed when she was younger. It was a young version of himself surrounded by a group of people.

Her father did what he could to survive before he had her.

To think that he was sent to hell just to survive in the real world…

She looked at the screen, staring at Adam unbothered expression. She clutched her hands in a fist.

She hopes… she hopes that her father hadn’t perished under their blades. He is strong, stronger than anyone she knew. She believes that he can survive Hell until Charlie can get her hotel up and running to redeem sinners… Only then, she can see her father again.

’” Please, papa… Wait a little longer and we can see each other once more…”

Charlie looked stricken at the body count Lute killed this year. She shook her head. “Uh, no, not awesome. Those are my people, you know that, right?” Charlie looked at them, hoping to see at least an ounce of empathy. From the expression Adam and Lute was giving her, they don’t have any to spare. She felt her heart break a little.

“Ohhh, yeah... That must suck for you.” Adam replies, laughing at her.

Earth

“By god, he doesn’t care at all.” Marie said to herself, she was sitting in the kitchen. Tapped nervously with her fingers.

She gets it honestly. People who go in hell deserve to be there but surely there are some demons that are worth saving. People who had to do what’s best for themselves. She sympathetic with them but others? Who hurt other people on purpose? They can die a second time.

She hopes the Princess can convince someone from Heaven to try and help her with her plan. There has to be something they can redeem sinners. Sinners who want to change and a second chance.

“I believe in you Charlie.”

“But these are souls. Human souls, just the same as the ones you have up in Heaven.” Charlie said with a sadden tone. She didn’t understand why Adam wasn’t concern about the human souls when there are the same. Sure, they did things bad when they were alive, but they were humans.

“They are not the same. They had their chance, and they earned damnation.” Lute snarky replies, looking unimpressed.

“You're wrong. Sinners made mistakes, sure, but everyone makes mistakes.” Charlie defended the sinners.

“Angels don't make mistakes.” Lute replies, sounding confident

“You really think that?” Charlie asked, looking doubtful at the Angel.

“I know that.”

“Yeah, I've never made a mistake in my fuck' life” Adam chirps in, making a hand motion.

Hell,

There were a bunch of demons around hell snorting at that statement.

“The only reason you're still here is because Daddy gave you and your Hellborn-kind a pardon from an exorcist blade.” Lute said, walking around the table and leaned in her space.

“How does that feel? To know how little you matter.” She continued walking around the table and back to Adam side. Charlie looked troubled at the comment.

Hell,

The hell born all looked a bit smug at the information, they already knew that they were immune to the extermination, but it felt right to hear an Angel confirm that fact. It was satisfying to know how much it irritates that bitch.

The hell born demons that are roaming Pride Ring all puff out their chest and laughs before going on their day.

Of course, Sinners all glower at that fact.

“Oops, almost out of time. Guess we should get into it...” Adam spoke, leaning back into his chair. The plate of ribs in front of him was empty.

Hazbin Hotel

“What?! But we didn’t even get to the point of the meeting!” Charlie protested, standing from the couch. She clutched her hand into a fist.

“He wasted my time on purpose!” She shouts, she glares at the screen, already feeling her magic flow through her body. She can feel her horns grow out of her skull and her hair lashing out.

Vaggie sighs, frowning at the screen. She had a really bad feeling about this, Adam was purposely wasting Charlie time during the meeting. She knew this ploy. Adam was planning something, something that he will reveal until last moment before Charlie can protest it.

It was something she really was familiar with, as she was a victim of his little ploy.

Charlie looked at the wall, time had pass so fast. And she didn’t even get the chance to talk about her plans at all this past hour! She kept getting interrupted by Adam boring sex life and completely ignoring her attempts. She only had a few more minutes before the meeting ends.

She could sing out her plans, maybe then Adam would listen if she sang in a way he likes. Just as she thought of that, there was a sound of music echoing the room. Adam and Lute tilt their head at the happy tone. Adam looked unimpressed but Charlie hopes he would listen anyways.  

Heaven

Adam scoffs at the sound of music starting, he can already feel a headache from her ugly singing.

“Does this bitch really think she can change my mind… “He said, crossing his arms. Adam decided that wait inside an empty room when he notices multiple people blocking the way to the library.

“Why are they fucking blocking the way. Shit man…”

Lute was standing by the door, standing guard and tense. She was distantly listening the murmurs of the people standing outside in the halls. They seem to be regular workers for the building, heaven born workers.

She can even hear a annoying cherub shrieking something.

“Why can’t I just go in there and barge in? I’m fucking Adam, they should respect me!” Adam scoffs, he sat on the chair and leaned back.

“Sir, it’s not wise to let them know we are not here.” Lute said.

Adam rolled his eyes and shrugs “Hey, people already seen us enter the fucking building, what’s the use of hiding now?”

“Sir-“

“Besides, it’s not like they can really stop us from seeing Sera.” Adam lifted his foot to the table and leaned back into his chair. He glares at the mini screen in the corner of the room, it should Charlie holding her plans in her hand while singing.

She quickly walked up towards the two and pushed back a chair next to Adam. With a wave of her hand, she used her magic to conjure her papers. It was just a pile of drawings she drawn over the past week, explaining her plan to redeem sinners in her hotel. But since she was on limit time now, she would have to find the right drawing to shorten it down.

“I've got a lot to get through. and not a lot of time. and I feel like you weren't really hearing me before, so here it goes” She coughed before singing.

Hazbin Hotel

Vaggie gave Charlie an amused expression, she gently nudged her.

“You know singing isn’t really gets people to listen to you. especially someone like Adam.” She spoke. Charlie chuckled sheepishly; she rubs her arms.

“I know, but I was running out of time and I just thought that… Singing would get him to listen to me.” She explains. She can see the panic on her future self, and the rush of singing out her plans before time runs out.

“You know it’s childish to draw your little plans than in writing, right?” Angel buts in, raising his eyebrows at the drawings future Charlie was showing Adam. “People won’t take you seriously.”

Charlie blushes, she twirled her thumbs. “… I know.”

Vaggie shakes her head before leaning to her and kissed her cheeks. “You know you could’ve gone to me. I would’ve written your plan on paper, babe.”

“I know… But I wanted to do this on my own, to show that I can do it.” Charlie mumbles, hiding her face with her hair.

“By drawing it out? Seriously?” Angel gave her a deadpan expression. Charlie flushes, turning away from them. “I know! It’s stupid but… Well, now I know what not to do.” Charlie mutters.

“Besides, Adam pretty much wasted my time blabbering. He wouldn’t read the paper if I written it down. Drawing it out might help gain his attention… Even if it’s a little.”

♪ I know Hell's population ♪

♪ Is out of control ♪

♪ It's a bad situation ♪

♪ It's taking a toll ♪

♪ If we rehab these sinners ♪

Charlie brought a paper with a bunch of stick figures covering the page, indicating that the space is overcrowded.

Earth

“Is this girl really serious?” A business worker looked dumbfounded at the display in front of him. “She used… Drawing as I way too...” He took a deep sigh and pinched his nose.

“Unbelievable.”

♪ And cleanse all their souls ♪

♪ At my Hazbin Hotel ♪

She looked proud of her drawings, she put the first drawing down and held up another drawing of her hotel. She didn’t know how to draw the full detail of her hotel, but she hope it got across to them. She even wrote on top Hazbin Hotel, with a rainbow and hearts surrounding it. She drew a few stick figures with horns, showcasing they are demons and happy to be at her hotel.

There were many people around the world, snorting at the drawings. All amused at the proud look Charlie had about her drawings showcasing her brilliant project. Winners all smiles at the girl, wishing her the best.

Meanwhile, Charlie was blushing furiously, trying to sink into the couch embarrassed. She only drew those for Adam eyes only! She didn’t need the entire universe to see her childish drawings!

“This is the worse!” Charlie cries.

Vaggie and Angel cackle.

♪ Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself! Right! Extermination! ♪

Charlie shook her head; she got distracted a bit and quickly put her drawing down and shuffled through her pile. Adam and Lute looked unamused, staring at her with boredom. Adam didn’t bother interrupted her this time, since she was in the middle of singing.

♪ I know you guys fly down

Just to kill once a year ♪

♪ And it must be annoying

To schlep all the way here ♪

She found the drawing she wanted to show for this next part, it was the drawing of the extermination. Crude drawing of the exorcist killing demons on the streets.

♪ If they join you in Heaven

That trip disappears ♪

Charlie grabbed the first drawing, with stick figures crowding the paper and the exorcist killing demons. She shows them both the paper before throwing them into the air. The drawings zipped past Adam and Lute head, forming a rainbow. They still looked unimpressed.

Hell,

Lucifer looked impressed at the screen; he was looking at his daughters’ drawings. If he knew that Adam wouldn’t interrupt when showing him drawings about the meeting he would’ve done that ages ago.

He hums, already thinking of drawing what he wished to discuss in the next meeting that was due soon. He smirks, he knew it would annoy them.

He snapped his fingers and blank pieces of papers, crayons appeared in front of him. Lucifer smirks.

“Time to get to work.” He says, grinning manically. The little imp butler beside him inches away from him.

♪ you can wave that chore farewell ♪

She took a deep breath, she grabs her last drawing with both angel and demon stick figures standing underneath a rainbow, smiling together.

♪ It'll be a happy day in... ♪

Adam put up a hand in front of her, forcing Charlie to stop singing. The music changed dramatically in the background. It was his turn.

Adam grins, already knowing that it was HIS turn to sing and show her what’s up. Lute smirks, nodding at him and he gave her a rock sign.

 ♪ Let me stop you right there

♪ Save us all precious time ♪

Adam looked at Lute and before glancing at her again. Charlie awkwardly looking at them. She didn’t know what to do, except listen to his part of the song.

Earth,

“Great, now we have to listen to this dirtbag sing.” The woman moans, resting her hand on her desk. She was in her little cubby in her office, they weren’t allowed to go home. She didn’t know why since they can’t get any work done at all.

♪ If what you're suggesting

Is letting them climb ♪

♪ Up the ladder oh they'd

Rather cross the Pearly Gates ♪

Adam made a motion of climbing up the stairs with his fingers before clapping his hands together and looking at with the amusement in his tone. Charlie tried to speak but Adam cut her off.

♪ Sorry, sweetie but there's no

Defyin' their fates ♪

Adam turned away from her, his back facing Charlie while he looked at his nails.  He sprung from his chair and landed on the table, knocking the plate of ribs off the table.

♪ 'Cause Hell is forever

Whether you like it or not ♪

Adam leaned in close, suddenly the room around Charlie began to change and she was flying in the sky. She could see the heavenly gates in front of her, she looked at it memorized. The golden gates were shining bright, it opened as if she was welcome into the gates, the sun shining warmly at her. Then she felt her body begin to descend downwards, weight on her chest as she was forced to fall.

♪ Had their chance to behave

Better now they boil in the pot ♪

“You have to give it to him; he knows how to sing.” Someone said. There were agreements around them, they hate the guy, but he has a good voice.

Charlie fell into a giant cooking pot, she didn’t feel any pain since she was the princess of Hell and fire, heat didn’t really bother her. Only hell born demons aren’t affected by the harsh fire.  Charlie resurfaces from the boiling water; she realizes there were demon parts in the pot.  She gasps, feeling Adam pick up the pot and poured the contents out and her.

♪ 'Cause the rules are black &

White There's no use in tryin' To fight it ♪

It cuts to Adam in the middle of the screen, the screen turned black and white with Adam split between the two colours. It changed again to Charlie determine to climb her way out of the depths Adam threw her in. She ignored the body parts of various demons around her, some having their hands stretched out from the wall, as if asking for help.

♪ They're burnin' for their

Lives Until we kill 'em again ♪

Hazbin Hotel

“So, like… Can you actually see that happening?” Angel asked, looking confused at the different scenes happening during the songs.

Charlie looked a bit uncomfortable, but she answered truthfully,

“Yeah… It’s like an illusion. I asked my mom about it before, and she didn’t really say anything about it except that it happens.”

Angel hums, “I hope that doesn’t happen to me, I don’t want to be stuck in a song illusion.”

Vaggie huffs “Are you saying you never sung since you been in Hell?”

“Not really, not like… Forced into singing, more like…Force… But not that kind of force!” Angel stuttered, looking a big uneasy. He gestures to the tv “Not like something is urging you to sing but more like I’m paid to sing…Yeah…”

“That’s surprising actually.” Charlie mumbles, tilting her head. “Usually when a sinner comes into hell, they sing sooner or later.”

Angel crossed his arms and stared at the tv, not saying a word. “I usually don’t give a shit about this musical shit but am just curious on why…”

Vaggie hums. She was also curious about it, when she was in heaven, she can always see winners singing in the streets. A sweet tone, filled with happiness and content. It was a shock for her when she realizes that Hell was the same, only filled with anger, jealousy, hatred, sinister.

It was like a culture shock for her. Still, she got used to. Her favourite singer was Charlie.

Just as Charlie barely made it to the top, Adam and Lute was waiting for her. She looked with fear as Lute brought up her spear and swipe at her. She tightly shut her eyes, waiting for the blow.

She blinked and she was back in the conference room.

“Okay, but-- -

She tried, she held her paper close to her, hoping to interrupt but Adam kept going.

  ♪ Let's just try to chillax babe ♪

♪ You're wasting your breath ♪

Charlie weakly chuckles, looking to the side.

Charlie sighs, looking a bit down as she realizes where this is going. Of course she couldn’t even sing about it. At least she got the first part in. From where the song is heading, she knew that Adam wasn’t on board to help her with her project. In fact, he seems strongly against it.

Still, she saw herself flinch at the swing. She knew her father wasn’t going to be happy about this whole thing. She wanted so badly to do this by herself, but she doesn’t know what to do anymore.

She planned on broadcast her project on tv, but the interview was a bummer. Having the interview canceled was probably the best though, she has planned on singing it again… Not to mention she had more drawings…

Charlies sigh, suddenly realizing how stupid she was.

‘No wonder why people think am a joke’ She thought.

♪ Did I hear you imply ♪

♪ That they don't deserve death ♪

♪ Are they winners, Are they Sinners

'Cause it's cut and dry ♪

“ Well actually if you take a look...” She tried yet again.

♪ Fair is fair, an eye for an eye ♪

Adam leered at her, spreading his wings open, getting ready to fly into the air. He flew up, wind blowing at her, making her fall to the floor.  

♪ And when all's said and done

There's the question of fun ♪

Charlie lifted her hand to cover her eyes when Adam begins to shine brightly. The warm summer sun behind him, making him glow angelically. Clouds appear around him. It made him seem like he was trustworthy, despite his appearance.

♪ And for those of us with Divine ordainment ♪

♪ Extermination is Entertainment ♪

“He looks…beautiful.” A girl whispers, staring at the screen with awe. She didn’t care what other people think, Adam was really pretty, with his golden wings and nice robes with his mask.

“I wonder if that’s his real face.” She tilts her head at the image of Adam walking on the clouds. Sunlight shining behind him, his smile shining brightly. Given it was supposed to be a menacing smile, but she loved it.

She took a screen shot of the image and decided to keep it as a background.

♪ Guitar solo, fuck yeah ♪

He spun around, making hand gestures to mimic playing a guitar. Charlie got up from the floor and groaned, frowning at the Angel.

Earth

Someone from the crowd snorted at the display. The bar was filled with low murmur, most paying attention to the screen while saying their opinion in low voices. The Bartender was serving drinks, while also listening to the screen.

It was night where they are from, the band that was supposed to play tonight all were relaxing by the tables, sipping drinks and watching the screen. They didn’t seem to mind the interruption.

“I like the rock guitar. This guy clearly likes rock genre.” One of the bandmembers spoke, nodding at the song.

“Even if Adam is a dick, he has good music taste.”

“Never thought Adam would be a rock music lover dude.” The singer said, crossing his arms and chuckling. “Would that be consider Christian rock?”

“I mean, yeah… I think…”

♪ Hell is forever ♪

♪ Whether you like it or not ♪

Adam started clapping his hand with the rhythm. More angels began to appear from the walls, all glowing golden as they began to clap along with Adam.  The commander of the army flew closer to Charlie, mocking her.

“Where did you people come from?” Charlie asked, backing away from the golden angels.

♪ Had their chance to behave better ♪

♪ Now they boil in the pot ♪

The golden angels were closing in on Charlie, as Adam flew into the air once more Lute flying beside him.  They fist bump.

♪ 'Cause the rules Are black & white ♪

♪ They're burnin' for their Lives ♪

♪ Until we kill 'em again ♪

Adam summoned his guitar and started playing it.

Earth

“Huh, he can actually summon a real guitar.” Someone from the bar said, surprised in their voice.

“I mean, he did all the shit, and you’re surprise he can summon a guitar?”  

“…Well, the air guitar really caught me off guard, okay?”

♪ fuck' Hell is forever ♪

♪ And it's meant To suck a lot ♪

The golden angels that were surrounding Charlie, moved with the rhythm before leaving her and flying up to Adam.

♪ So give up Your dumb endeavor ♪

♪ Cause you don't have a shot ♪

Charlie looked furious; her appearance suddenly changed. Her eyes turned a completely red, with yellow slits, her hair was waving around like wind blowing through her hair rapidly, she gains long sharp horns. She growled, unaware that she burned her plans In her hand, to busy getting angry at the man.

Hell

“It’s surprising how long the princess lasted before losing her temper.” A demon said, he was walking down the streets, holding his phone in front of him while watching the stream. The other demon from the other call chuckles

“It is, I would’ve tried to murder the guy. I know I wouldn’t last for shit but hey, dying seems better than listening to this guy talk shit.”

“Pretty sure everyone in the entire universe would rather die than listen to this bitch.” The demon replies, snorting. He stopped in his stroll when he saw shadows move from the corner of his vision. He glances at the alleyway, and he could’ve sworn he had something slitter in the shadows. A pair of red eyes and yellow grin met his star.

The demon gulps before turning around and going back to where he came from.

“Fuck that.”

“?”

♪ Long as I've got your Attention,

I guess I should Probably mention ♪

♪ That we've made the Determination ♪

Adam brought up a contract form, grinning smugly as he brought it down to Charlie's face. Charlie turned back into her original form and looked at the contract with shock. She tried to reach for the contract, but Adam pulled it away from her.

- ♪ To move up the next Extermination ♪

Charlie stared at the contract form with disbelief as she read the content. It wasn’t anything professional, it just read “Fuck you I do what I want!!” With a doodle of Adam giving the finger.

The world

“No… There is no way…”

♪ Can't wait a whole year to Slaughter those little cunts ♪

♪ I know it's just been a week But we'll be back in six months ♪

“No, no no no no no!”

Adam grasp Charlie wrist and pulled her close. Charlie looked shocked, eyes widening as she stares at the solid hand gripping her wrist. She thought Adam wasn’t in hell so how was he grasping her wrist? If she was a regular demon, her wrist would’ve been broken with how tightly Adam was gripping her.  

Charlie looked at the screen with horror, she couldn’t hear what Vaggie was saying. It was like she was underwater; everything was muffled.  Terror creeping up her spine as she tried to open her mouth, but nothing came out.

She can briefly see Angel sitting up from the couch, looking at her with concern in his eyes. He looked a bit panic at the news, but he kept himself compose.

Adam pushed her out of the room, Charlie fell to the floor with her papers scattered around her as she hurried back to her feet to try to keep the door from closing.  She pleaded him to wait but it slams shut on her.

Charlie cursed, her eyes widen with panic as she realizes what just happened, she banged against the doors and fell to her knees. She closed her eyes, clutching her hands into a fist.  

“Shit!”

“Charlie! Please breath! That’s it… that’s it. You’re doing great” Vaggie murmurs, concern in her voice. She gently rubbed Charlie back in a attempt to calm her down. Charlie gasp, leaning forwards as she grasps her chest.

The Extermination is happening sooner… Charlie closed her eyes, tears filling her eyes as she bit her lip to keep herself from crying out.

“This… This isn’t fair.” Charlie weakly spoke, her voice filled with fear and horror. Vaggie bit her lips, she glared at the screen, wishing she can strangle Adam.

“This isn’t fair…Why?” Charlie weakly chuckles, she closed her eyes, letting the tears to her lap. Her hair was covering her face, as she weeps.

“He played me like a fool, didn’t he?” She asked. Vaggie took a deep sigh before nodding. “Yeah, he did…” She replies, monotone.

Charlie reached into her pocket and stared at the screen filled with overflowing messages from her family. Aunt Bee and Levi both flooding her Dm’s with supportive message. Her dad sent her one message

“I’ll be there shortly.”

Charlie took a deep shaky sigh before wiping her tears away and looked up. She softly smiles at the concern look Vaggie was giving her. She took her hand.

“My dad is arriving sooner than later.” She said, with no emotion in her voice.

Else where, Hell

“There is no way this is happening.” Was every sinner thought when hearing the news. Everyone was staring at the screens dumbfounded, their hearts beating furiously in their chest as the realization creep up on them.

Soon, the entire ring of Pride was in chaos, and everyone was screaming and shouting, wailing every possible noise people make; echoed the streets. Terror filling their veins as they realize that they might die again,

One thing they all agree that Heaven isn’t as holy as they seem to be.

The scene changed to Charlie opening the door to the hotel, looking downtrodden as she didn’t bother making eye contact with Vaggie when she came to greet her. Vaggie hugged Charlie before asking how the meeting went.

Charlie stammered before replying with hesitation.  She didn’t know why to say but to lie about it. Vaggie didn’t seem to notice.

Charlie opened her mouth as if to apologize but Vaggie put her finger on her lip and shush her. “Don’t apologize for something that isn’t your fault.”

Vaggie pulled her to the parlor, her voice filled with excitement as she told her that they have something to show Charlie. Everyone was there, Husk leaning against the side of the couch; looking bored and most likely wishing he was somewhere else.

Angel was on the floor, leaning against the couch cushion while letting his legs stretch in front of him. Vaggie and Charlie had to walk over his legs to sit in the middle of the couch. Niffy was on the other side corner to the couch, opposite of Husk.

Alastor was on the other chair, legs crossed as he watched them approach with his signature smile. He looked accomplished.

Vaggie explained that Alastor pulled some strings, and their new commercial was about to air on tv. Alastor joked that he pulled a few limbs too. Laughing to himself as no one seemed to be bothered by the comment.

Charlie looked surprised and touched at their thoughtfulness. Her mood slightly lifted as she smiles at them.  Angel says it was one of his better performances, if he says so himself.

Charlie held her hands together and looked teary as she thought that it was amazing. She was glad that she had such an amazing friend willingly to do this for her. It helped bring her mood up a little, knowing that she at them to reply on. Angel shushed her, putting his finger to her lips as he said it was starting.

Charlie softly smiled at the screen, she tightens her hold on Vaggie hand and leaned in, resting her head on her shoulder.

The scene changed to the tv screen.

Vaggie, Angel, Husk, Nifty and Alastor was shown on screen standing in front of the hotel entrance. Except Alastor was flickering on screen, his back turned. Charlie wondered why he agreed to be on screen if he was just going to have his back turned and his figure flickering. Still, she was happy he at least tried for her.

Vaggie was the one who spoke first, welcoming the viewers to the hazbin hotel – Except the commercial was cut before she can finish saying hotel. The channel turned to the News Station.

Everyone on the couch was cursing at the failed showing of their commercial, angrily cursing at the screen.

Angel glares at the screen, giving them a middle finger for ruining the commercial that he was secretly hoping to cheer Charlie up. He heard Vaggie groan.

The news Channel was called ‘666 News’. There are 2 reporters on screen, one woman named Katie Killjoy. She was a very thin woman with a long neck and blond short hair, red eyes and a grin that stretched across her face. The other report was a man wearing a gas mask with white puff of hair. He was wearing a grey suit. His name was Tom Trench.

“Breaking news in Hell today! We have just received word from the Heaven Embassy that the next extermination is happening sooner than ever before.”  Katie Killjoy spoke, the camera zoomed closer to her face as she explains the news.

“Do you know what that means Tom?” Katie turned to her co-worker Tom.

“No. what does that mean, Katie?” Tom asked.

“It means we are all royally fucked.” Katie eyes twitched as she leaned closer to the camera with her insane grin. Tom behind her looked uncomfortable and terrified. The camera was switched to the giant clock that held the countdown of the next extermination. There were screams of demons echoing the tv screen as the countdown went down to 176 days left instead of 358.

Heaven,

“That isn’t fair!” One of the winners’ shouts, holding her sign higher into the air, she glares at the angel in front of her. The angel was nervously holding their hands in the air, trying to calm the crowd.

Ever since the announcement of another Extermination happening twice in the year, the crowd had gotten larger and more angrier. Many winners had families that didn’t make it through the heavenly gates, and most still love them even if they went to Hell.

Most of the people who went to hell, they are still good people. They are just doing things needed to survive when they were on earth, and they wish for them to live comfortably as possible in Hell. They don’t even deserve to be in Hell in the first place!

The girl looks around her, she gotten familiar with many of the faces around her. All telling her of stories of their loved one that didn’t make it in heaven, and they were good people. They don’t deserve to be in Hell or die again.

She clutched her sign tighter and face the angles with determination. She will help the sinners redeem themselves…

Back at the hotel, they all looked shocked at the news (minus Niffty), mouth gaped. Charlie looked mortified, unable to say anything as the people around her looked confused and horrified.

“Wait... What? Why?!” Angel glared at the screen.

She was glad that they didn’t ask her any question right there, or else she would’ve burst out in tears, stressed out. She didn’t know what to do, she wonders if this would’ve been different if her dad decided to go to the meeting instead.

Hell,

The streets were already in an uproar from the news of Adam rudely telling Charlie that the extermination was happening again in the same year. Chaos wasn’t the right word to describe the streets of hell.

Most buildings were already getting wrecked, fire flooding the streets and buildings. Explosion echoing somewhere and blood splattering the pavements.

It was simply havoc.

It skips to a different scene, it was a drone flying through the wrecked area, demon blood splattered the ground and rubble littering around. It was obvious that there was a fight here during the extermination.

The drone was obviously from Heaven, with its shiny golden plate. It was out of place, compared to Hell. It was searching for something, before it stopped in place, a blue beam scanning something. It found what it was looking for.

It was the body of an exorcist.

The body was missing its head, golden blood seeping the ground. The head was nowhere to be found, taken, a trophy.

“We found the body, sir. They've never managed to kill one of us before. We should just go down there now and destroy them.” Lute spoke with anger in her voice. She knew someone was missing, she didn’t think it would be her.

“No, no. We can't risk them catching on. But don't worry, when we come back, there won't be a demon left alive to pull a stunt like this again!” Adam raised his fist into the air before slamming it down on the projector, shattering it into pieces. The last thing you see is his grinning face as the scene ends.

It was silent, it was so sudden that it was eerie how much the tension changed in an instant. It was like someone blew out the candle and only smoke remains. Floods of information was to much for many to handle in a short period of time. What to do with the information, most didn’t know.

The thought of a second exterminations happening within only 6 months of each other? The fact that Angels aren’t immortal as many thought they were.

It was to much for regular demons to handle.

The overlords on the other hand? They were delighted, all except one.

Carmilla cursed, she paced back and forth in her office as her heart was pacing in her chest. Filled with worried and dread. Her beloved daughters can only watch in silence as they watch the stream with different expressions.

Worried and afraid.

“This is my fault.” Carmilla growls, she stops by the window and rested her hand on the window. She closed her eyes. “I should’ve just injured the angel instead of killing her.”

There were probably many things she could’ve done to prevent this whole situation. She could’ve badly injured the Angel so she would escape or should’ve held her daughters back from delivering the last packages before the extermination happened. She was grateful that she made it in time to defend her girls, she doesn’t regret that.

So just wished she handled it better and this whole situation wouldn’t had happened in the first place.

Clara walked up to her, resting her hand on her arm. Without a word, she wrapped her arms around Carmilla and held her tightly. Odette joined in on the hug.

“Everything is going to be fine, mama.” They whispered. Carmilla bit her lips, she wrapped her arms around them and held them close to her chest.

No matter what happens next, she will die to keep her daughters safe.

Heaven,

The exorcist sisters were all shuffling around, they were out of their uniforms and wandering around in their main lounge. They all looked nervous, cautiously looking at the door.  They can hear the outcry outside; the window was closed shut but they can still hear the shouting from Winners. 

It was a unsaid order but they are to stay in the quarters until further notice.

“You think we might get kicked out of heaven?” One of the sisters' whispers, looking unsure, she had sweat falling from her forehead. Her white hair was in a braid, but it was falling apart.

“Don’t be stupid! We are just falling orders by Adam! We aren’t going to be punished for doing something this trivial!”

“Trivial?! This isn’t just a small matter! This was a deep lock secret for many centuries! This could ruin us!” Another spatted out, “I don’t want to fall!” She adds, clutching her hair and as sat down on the bench and growls.

Another girl glared at the girl before rushing at her and gripping her white hair and pulling her in the air. The girl cried in pain.

“We aren’t going to fall! You hear me! We are not going to fall like that pathetic man!”

“Yeah! Adam is surely going to do something about it! Make this right!” The sisters all look at each other with determination. “We are not in the wrong! We are doing the right thing by getting rid of those vermin!”

“Adam wouldn’t abandon us! We are his girls!”

They never bothered to mention the missing girl that wasn’t by their side.

"And this is the end of the episode folk! I hope you enjoyed this thrilling first episode! "
